Abstract

Curcuma longa (turmeric) is a medicinal plant widely used for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Cream formulations are ideal for topical delivery due to their ease of application, good absorption, and patient acceptability. The maceration method is a simple and cost-effective technique for obtaining plant extracts without compromising bioactive compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the physical stability of a cream formulation containing 5% Curcuma longa extract prepared using the maceration extraction method. The extract was prepared through maceration of dried turmeric rhizome using ethanol, followed by evaporation to obtain the concentrated extract. The cream was formulated with stearic acid, cera alba, vaselin album, triethanolamine, propylene glycol, and distilled water as base components. Physical stability parameters were tested over seven days, including pH, dispersion, and adhesion tests. Statistical analysis was performed using the Friedman test. The pH values ranged from 7.33 to 7.50 (p = 0.006), indicating mild alkalinity but remaining within an acceptable range for topical application. Dispersion remained stable throughout the observation period (p = 0.452), while adhesion increased significantly from 182.71 to 200.04 seconds (p = 0.006), suggesting improved cohesiveness. The 5% Curcuma longa extract cream demonstrated good physical stability, indicating that the maceration method is a viable approach for developing stable topical herbal formulations.

Abstract

Verruca vulgaris (VV), a cutaneous disorder associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), presents as a benign proliferation of keratinocytes. Verruca vulgaris therapy with destructive methods such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and electrocautery is the most commonly used therapeutic modality. The study aims to assess the therapeutic efficacy and clinical benefit of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and electrosurgery in managing VV by synthesising evidence from clinical studies or case series. Systematic review adhered to the guidelines outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). To ensure the collection of accurate and relevant information, literature searches were conducted across PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane Library covering publications from 2014 to 2023. Twelve studies were included, comprising eight articles on TCA and four articles on electrosurgery. Trichloroacetic acid achieved a maximum cure rate of 93.3% while electrosurgery reached 100%. During six-month follow-up period, TCA showed no recurrence (0%), whereas electrosurgery had a recurrence rate of 21,9%. Electrocautery has more advantages than TCA with a higher cure rate. Even though it has a higher cure rate, electrocautery has a higher recurrence rate with more severe side effects than TCA.

Abstract

Latar belakang: Ulkus kronis pada ekstremitas bawah salah satunya yaitu ulkus venosum. Ulkus venosum didefinisikan sebagai lesi terbuka antara sendi lutut dan pergelangan kaki yang terjadi karena penyakit vena. Tantangan dalam mengobati VLU adalah kekambuhan yang sering terjadi maka terapi luka tingkat lanjut harus dipertimbangkan. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) sebagai terapi adjuvan pengobatan ulkus venosum dan menunjukkan hasil yang menjanjikan. Kasus: Seorang laki-laki berusia 55 tahun dengan keluhan luka yang sulit sembuh sejak dua tahun yang lalu. Pemeriksaan status dermatovenereologi pada regio ekstremitas inferior desktra nampak ulkus multipel dengan ukuran terbesar 9 cm x 5 cm x 0.5 cm, dengan dasar eritem dan serum tanpa disertai pus, nekrosis, nekrotik dan darah. Pasien memiliki riwayat hipertensi dan obesitas derajat II dengan Indeks Masa Tubuh (IMT) 44,29. Pasien diberikan terapi Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) setiap tujuh hari, Kompres luka dengan cairan NaCl 0,9% selama 10 menit dilanjutkan dengan mupirosin 2% salep dan ditutup dengan menggunakan plester hidrokoloid yang dilakukan per 24 jam. Evaluasi pada minggu ke-6 terapi PRP, pasien menunjukkan adanya perbaikan klinis pada luka. Diskusi: Kandungan PRP terdiri dari banyak faktor pertumbuhan untuk mempercepat penyembuhan luka dan angiogenesis. Trombosit mengandung faktor pertumbuhan yang memicu efek biologis yang merupakan kunci dalam proses perbaikan dan regenerasi jaringan.
