Pap smear is a widely used screening tool, while contraceptive use, particularly hormonal methods, has been debated as a potential risk factor for cervical lesions. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aimed to investigate the association between contraceptive use and Pap smear findings among members of the Family Welfare Movement (PKK) in Bendul Merisi, Surabaya. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 64 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and Pap smear results. Statistical analysis was performed using contingency coefficient tests. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The study revealed a significant association between contraceptive use and Pap smear results (p = 0.001). Different types and duration of contraceptive use were significantly related to cytological outcomes, with hormonal methods showing a stronger association with abnormal findings such as LSIL (Low-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; Contraceptive use, especially hormonal methods with longer duration, influences Pap smear findings, highlighting the need for regular cervical cancer screening among women using hormonal contraception&lt;/p&gt;

In Indonesia, this plant is still often considered as a weed. When held, the unpleasant smell and sticky hand make people dislike this plant even though the flowers are diverse. The essential oil was extracted from the leaves of &lt;em&gt;L. camara&lt;/em&gt; by hydrodistillation. This study aimed to see how cytotoxic&lt;em&gt; L. camara &lt;/em&gt;essential oil was against HeLa carcinoma cells. This research aimed to discover if &lt;em&gt;L. camara&lt;/em&gt; essential oil was cytotoxic to HeLa cancer cells. The GC-MS investigation of an essential oil recognized ten compounds; two main constituents of the oil were Caryophyllene (27.65%) and Germacrene D (23.01%). The essential oil showed cytotoxicity on HeLa cervical cancer cell lines. The cytotoxic effect of oil was determined using MTT, IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values were 44.86 μg/mL + 0.07&lt;/p&gt;

Phytochemical analysis was done by using the standard procedures. Aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;A. indicum&lt;/em&gt; was used for synthesis of Zn nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible spectrometry and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. &lt;em&gt;In vitro&lt;/em&gt; cytotoxicity studies of Zn nanoparticles were done by MTT assay using HeLa cell lines. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The preliminary phytochemical results revealed that the aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;A. indicum&lt;/em&gt; contains broad spectrum of secondary metabolites like Tannins, Saponins, Glycosides, Flavonoids, Anthroquinones, Terpenoids and Steroids. The U.V spectrophotometeric analysis of Zn nanoparticles displayed maximum absorption at 270 nm and scanning electron microscopic studies showed that the nanoparticles size ranges from 50-500 nm. The MTT assay results revealed that the of Zn nanoparticles exhibits potent cytotoxicity against HeLa cell lines with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 45.82 &amp;mu;g/ml. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Thus the present study concludes that Zn nanoparticles can be used as a potent drug in alternative therapy for treating the cervical cancer patients.&lt;/p&gt;
