Teknik Pengobatan Tradisional Pada Masyarakat Melayu di Semendo Darat Ulu Kabupaten Muara Enim

<p><strong>Malay people have a tendency to choose traditional medicine as an alternative in treating diseases. Treatment is a process of healing by using tools. The types of traditional medicine in Indonesia broadly consist of traditional medicine with medicinal herbs derived from nature, while traditional kebatinan medicine consists of traditional medicine on the basis of belief, religion, and on the basis of magnetic vibrations. Traditional medicine used by people in several regions in Indonesia is very diverse, including traditional medicine practiced by one of the Malay tribes in South Sumatra Province, Muara Enim Regency, namely the Semendo tribe. This research aims to complement existing references regarding traditional medicine, this research focuses on traditional medicine techniques in the Semendo tribe community, Muara Enim Regency. This descriptive qualitative research aims to explore the sources of knowledge, types and practices of traditional medicine in the Semendo tribe. The results showed that traditional medicine techniques in the Semendo tribe are carried out in 3 ways, namely, drinking, smearing or sticking using plants from nature, and internally. Traditional medicine in the Semendo tribe, Muara Enim Regency is still preserved to this day. This is due to the very high level of public trust in the efficacy of traditional medicine.</strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><strong> - </strong><em>Malay, Nature, Prayer</em><em>, </em><em>Semendo, Traditional medicine</em><em>.</em></p>

The Traditional Karonese Oil as Ancestral Heritage

Every indigenous people are familiar with traditional medicine and medical techniques in order to maintain life in an atmosphere of support for community medicine and medical techniques. Traditional knowledge, especially traditional medicine, is Karonese Oil which has important benefit. This study examines the openness of the ancestral heritage of traditional knowledge of Karonese Oil. In this study, it is hoped that a renewal of regulations on traditional knowledge is closely related to regulations on the protection of traditional medicine because of medicine and techniques that have not received adequate legal protection. Data collection is carried out descriptive qualitative research, descriptive is a problem formulation that guides research to explore or portray the social situation to be studied thoroughly, broadly and in depth to craftsmen or traditional Karo oil activists. The data were analyzed qualitatively by using a legal theory approach as a rationale. Indigenous peoples rule on the protection of traditional knowledge of ancestral heritage of traditional Karo tribe oil. The Karonese tribe has various kinds of knowledge of medicine and traditional medicine techniques, especially Karonese oil. Updating on traditional knowledge that are closely related to regulations on the protection of traditional medicine due to inadequate medicines and techniques. This is in the form of regulations concerning the draft law on the protection and use of intellectual property, traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions, which until now have not been ratified by the Government.

Evaluation of the anti-snakebite, antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of Philodendron megalophyllum Schott (Araceae), traditionally used in accidents caused by snakes in the western region of Pará, Brazil

Ethnopharmacological relevanceIn the region of Western Pará, Amazonia, Brazil, Philodendron megalophyllum is widely used for the treatment of envenomations caused by bites from venomous snakes. The traditional use of plants is usually done through oral administration of an infusion (decoction) soon after the bite occurs. The efficiency of aqueous extracts of P. megalophyllum was demonstrated for blocking the activity of the venom of Bothrops sp., but only for a pre-incubation protocol (venom:extract), which fails to simulate the real form of use of this species. In this context, the objective of this research was to evaluate the anti-snakebite potential of the aqueous extract of P. megalophyllum to inhibit for the biological activity induced by Bothrops atrox venom (BaV) using traditional treatment methods. Material and methodsInitially, an aqueous extract using the stem of P. megalophyllum (AEPm) was prepared following the standard procedure used by the residents of the rural area along the Tapajós River (Eixo Forte region) in Santarém, PA, Brazil. The phytochemical profile of AEPm was conducted using thin layer chromatography (TLC) and phenolic compounds were quantified through colorimetric trials. The cytotoxicity of AEPm was evaluated using the MRC-5 human fibroblast line, and the antioxidant potential was measured using DPPH methods and cell culture. AEPm antimicrobial action was evaluated by the 96-well plate microdilution and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) methods using 18 types of microorganisms including bacteria that are present in the oral cavity of snakes. AEPm blocking potential was tested against BaV activity in vitro (fibrinolytic) and in vivo (defibrinating and hemorrhagic). In order to test for an interaction between BaV and AEPm SDS-PAGE electrophoresis was conducted. ResultsThe presence of coumarins, fatty acids, and hydrolysable tannins were detected in the AEPm. The colorimetric trials showed that AEPm had a high concentration of condensed tannins (20.1 ± 1.2%). The potential of AEPm for blocking of hemorrhagic and fibrinolytic activity of BaV showed a maximum reduction of 86.1% and 96.5%, respectively, for the pre-incubation protocol (1:10, venom:extract). However, when the extract was administered orally there was no significant blocking of these activities. The interaction of BaV and AEPm showed a modification of the profile of proteic bands when compared to the pattern of bands obtained from the BaV alone. The AEPm was not considered toxic, demonstrated antioxidant activity, and was capable of reducing the growth of 10 of the 18 studied microorganisms. ConclusionAlthough the stem of P. megalophyllum is indicated by traditional medicine techniques as effective against snakebites, the extract, when tested orally was not able to significantly inhibit (p ˃ 0.05) hemorrhage and defibrinating activity induced by the B. atrox venom. On the other hand, the extract yielded a promising result with respect to antioxidant and antimicrobial potential, and after further studies it could be used as a complementary treatment for localized action and secondary infections that frequently occur with snakebites from the genus of Bothrops sp.

Generalized anxiety disorders (n=182; 73.1%) were the most prevalent. Patients experienced improvement between 8 and 15 days of treatment (n= 60; 72.3%). Most of the cases were cured (n=80; 32.1%). Conclusions: the auriculotherapy as contributory treatment to the drug treatment is an effective tool to fight the neurotic disorders, it makes possible the remission of the symptoms and the cure of the patient in the smaller possible time.

BALI DALAM PENGEMBANGAN PENGOBATAN TRADISIONAL KOMPLEMENTER (Kajian Yuridis Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia Nomor 15 Tahun 2018 Tentang Penyelenggaraan Pelayanan Kesehatan Tradisional Komplementer)

Traditional medicine by the people in several regions in Indonesia is very diverse. Communities in a particular area have different ways and techniques in traditional medicine, this is because culture and understanding and also the biodiversity found in the environment in which they live and the local wisdom they have is the cause of the emergence of various cultural products. Given that Bali has a culture related to the understanding of traditional medicine since ancient times, inherited from generation to generation, it has the potential to carry out complementary traditional medicine that has local wisdom. Usadha was populist in Bali carried out by a balian. There are several types of balian that are contained in the palm bodon ejection in accordance with the field and purpose. Normatively, the government has issued Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 15 of 2018 concerning the Implementation of Complementary Traditional Health Services as a basis for implementing complementary traditional medicine. There are provisions that need to be studied and criticized so that they do not have the potential to hinder if Bali carries out complementary traditional medicine services in the future.

A systematic literature review and classification of knowledge discovery in traditional medicine

Introduction and ObjectiveDespite the importance of machine learning methods application in traditional medicine there is a no systematic literature review and a classification for this field. This is the first comprehensive literature review of the application of data mining methods in traditional medicine. MethodWe reviewed 5 database between 2000 to 2017 based on the Kitchenham systematic review methodology. 502 articles were identified and reviewed for their relevance to application of machine learning methods in traditional medicine, 42 selected papers were classified and categorized on four dimension; 1) application domain of data mining techniques in traditional medicine; 2) the data mining methods most frequently used in traditional medicine; 3) main strength and limitation of data mining techniques in traditional medicine; 4) the performance evaluation methods in data mining methods in traditional medicine. ResultThe result obtained showed that main application domain of data mining techniques in traditional medicine was related to syndrome differentiation. Bayesian Networks (BNs), Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs) were recognized as being the methods most frequently applied in traditional medicine. Furthermore, each data mining techniques has its own strength and limitations when applied in traditional medicine. Single scaler methods were frequently used for performance evaluation of data mining methods. ConclusionMachine learning methods have become an important research field in traditional medicine. Our research provides information about this methods by examining the related articles.

In silico and In vivo Toxicological Evaluation of Cissampelos Sympodialis Secondary Metabolites in Rattus Norvegicus.

Cissampelos sympodialis is a plant in northeastern Brazil used by the populace for treating respiratory diseases. Several studies have shown that ethanol leaf extracts have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities. Infusions are widely used, popular, and an ancient technique in traditional medicine, using hot water alone as the means of extraction. This study aimed to investigate acute toxicological potential of leaf infusions of Cissampelos sympodialis, when applied orally at a dose of 2000mg/kg to Rattus norvegicus, combined with an in silico study of 117 alkaloids present in the Cissampelos genus; five (5) of which were determined to have high toxicity (21, 8, 93, 32 and 88), and five (5) having both low toxicity (57, 77, 28, 25 and 67) and low liver metabolism. The in vivo toxicological evaluation showed that male water consumption decreased, and the feed intake decreased in both sexes. Yet, the figures as to change in weight gain of the animals were not statistically sufficient. As for the biochemical parameters, there was an increase in urea, and decreases in uric acid and AST in males. In females, there was a decrease in albumin and globulin which consequently leads to a total protein decrease. Despite biochemical changes suggestive of kidney damage, the histological sections revealed no kidney or liver changes. The results therefore indicate that despite presenting alkaloids which may be toxic, the genus Cissampelos, or leaf infusions of Cissampelos sympodialis, when applied orally at a dose of 2000mg/kg present low toxicity.
