Abstract

Second-degree burns, affecting the epidermis and dermis, constitute a major category of thermal injuries globally, presenting significant clinical challenges including pain, infection risk, and potential scarring. While standard treatments like silver sulfadiazine (SSD) exist, limitations including potential cytotoxicity and emerging resistance necessitate exploration of novel therapeutic strategies. Recent interest has focused on topical applications derived from probiotics, such as Lactobacillus spp., due to their suggested roles in modulating inflammation, combating oxidative stress, and providing antimicrobial activity to accelerate wound repair. This study investigated a fermented lysate derived from Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. fermented) as a potential topical agent for burn healing. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a 5% topical L. fermented ointment on the healing process of experimentally induced second-degree burns in a Wistar rat model, primarily by assessing the rate of wound closure compared to standard SSD treatment and an untreated control. A true experimental in vivo study utilizing a post-test only control group design was performed following ethical approval. Fifteen male Wistar rats were subjected to a standardized second-degree thermal burn injury on their dorsal aspect. The animals were then randomized (n=5 per group) to receive twice-daily topical applications of either 5% L. fermented ointment (Group A), SSD ointment (Group B), or no treatment (Control, Group C). Wound healing was quantitatively assessed by measuring the wound surface area (mm²) on days 1, 3, 7, and 14 post-injury using digital imaging and ImageJ software analysis. Statistical comparisons between groups were conducted using one-way ANOVA followed by LSD post-hoc tests, with statistical significance set at p<0.05. All treatment groups demonstrated a significant reduction in wound size over the 14-day observation period (p=0.001 within each group). Inter-group comparisons revealed significantly accelerated wound closure in Group A starting from day 3 onwards (p<0.005). At day 14, the mean wound area in Group A (17.5 ± 8.06 mm²) was significantly smaller than in Group B (119.22 ± 45.41 mm²) and Group C (305.18 ± 25.21 mm²) (p=0.001). Post-hoc analysis confirmed the superiority of L. fermented treatment over both SSD (mean difference 101.72 mm², p=0.001) and control (mean difference 287.68 mm², p=0.001). SSD treatment also resulted in significantly better healing than the control group (mean difference 185.96 mm², p=0.001). In conclusion, topical application of 5% fermented Lactobacillus acidophilus lysate significantly accelerated the closure of second-degree burn wounds in Wistar rats, demonstrating superior efficacy compared to both silver sulfadiazine treatment and no treatment. These findings highlight the potential of L. fermented lysate as a promising novel therapeutic agent for burn wound management.

Abstract

Background: Childhood sunburn significantly elevates lifelong skin cancer risk, underscoring the need for effective prevention. While sunscreen, protective apparel, and shade-seeking are advocated, a quantitative synthesis of their efficacy in children is crucial. This meta-analysis aimed to consolidate and quantify the evidence on the effectiveness of these core sun protection strategies in preventing pediatric sunburn. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science (January 2014 - December 2024) identified randomized controlled trials and cohort studies evaluating sunscreen, protective apparel, or shade-seeking behaviors for sunburn prevention in individuals aged 0-18 years. Data on sunburn incidence were extracted, study quality assessed, and pooled Risk Ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) calculated using a random-effects model. Results: Six studies (two RCTs, four cohort studies) involving 8,500 children were included. Regular sunscreen use (SPF ≥30) significantly reduced sunburn incidence (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.55-0.77). Protective apparel use also demonstrated substantial protection (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.60-0.82). Enhanced shade provision and shade-seeking behaviors effectively lowered sunburn risk (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.62-0.90). Multi-component strategies combining these approaches showed consistent protective benefits. Conclusion: This meta-analysis provides robust quantitative evidence that diligent sunscreen application, consistent use of protective apparel, and active shade-seeking are all significantly effective in reducing sunburn incidence in children. These findings strongly support multifaceted public health initiatives emphasizing comprehensive sun protection to safeguard pediatric skin health.

Abstract

Diabetic ulcers are a common and challenging complication of diabetes, contributing to morbidity, infection, and a high risk of amputation. Innovative adjuncts, such as topical polypeptide gel, which contains amino acids to support tissue regeneration, are proposed to accelerate wound healing; however, supporting clinical data are limited. A quasi-experimental analysis was conducted in 11 patients. Each received a daily topical 7% polypeptide gel in addition to standard care. Ulcer area was measured at baseline (day 0) and after 14 days using digital documentation analysis using ImageJ. The primary outcome was the percentage reduction in ulcer size. Patients were analysed for associations between percentage of improvement with age, gender, diabetes type, and ulcer site. Eleven patients with diabetic ulcers completed the 14-day treatment protocol. The cohort comprised 54.5% females with a mean age of 54.1 ± 7.3 years and predominantly insulin-dependent diabetes (72.7%). Baseline ulcer area averaged 982.1 ± 1315.1 mm², reducing to 184.0 ± 297.7 mm² by day 14, representing an 86.2 ± 6.7% mean area reduction. All patients achieved ?76% healing, with 45.5% achieving ?90% area reduction and 9.1% achieving complete healing. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated statistically significant ulcer area reduction (Z = -2.934, p = 0.003). No significant associations were found between healing percentage and patient demographics, diabetes type, ulcer location, or comorbidity burden (all p > 0.05). No treatment-related adverse events were reported during the study period. Topical polypeptide gel demonstrated rapid wound surface area reduction in the majority of the subjects over 14 days, independent of patient age, gender, diabetes type, or ulcer location. These findings suggest its promise as an adjunctive early-phase therapy for diabetic ulcers.

Abstract

Introduction Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases resulting from bacteria, viruses, or parasites transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sexual intercourse. The COVID-19 pandemic markedly influenced STI statistics, leading to potential underreporting of cases and heightened transmission rates. Objective : To analyse the profile of sexually transmitted infections and the influence of COVID-19 on STI assessments at the Dermatology and Venereology (DV) Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Moewardi General Hospital. Method A retrospective study using secondary data derived from medical records and registration logs at DV Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, spanning from January 2018 to December 2022.   Results 284 new STI cases were documented in the before pandemic lockdown period, however during the pandemic lockdown, there was a significant decline of 149 new cases. After the pandemic lockdown, there was 200 additional cases of STIs. Up to 90 patients with STIs were co-infected with HIV. The predominant instance of STIs was condyloma acuminata., and there was a strong correlation between gender and the incidence of STIs (p=0.000; p<0.05) Conclusion There was a sharp decline in STI cases during the COVID-19 pandemic and a surge in STI cases after the COVID-19 pandemic, predominantly featuring instances of condyloma acuminata and syphilis.

Abstract

Background : Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an infection caused by an imbalance in the amount of normal vaginal flora and pathogenic bacteria. Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is an infection of candida in the vagina and vulva. Bacterial vaginosisis often accompanied by co-infection of VVC, it is caused by a reduction in the enzyme hydrogen peroxidase (H2O2) which can reduce the ability of leukocytes to fight infections, resulting in co-infection with other pathogens such as Candida sp. Factors that influence VB with co-infection of VVC include lack of hygiene, changing partners, the use of contraceptives in the uterus, the use of antiseptics with fragrances and other diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Case: A 40-year-old woman complaints of vaginal discharge since 3 months, white-gray vaginal discharge, fishy smell, no itching, and no pain during sexual intercourse. Physical examination revealed the presence of vulvar erythema, yellowish white discharge on the vaginal wall and portio cervicalis. Examination of 10% KOH showed the presence of pseudohyphae. Gram examination showed polymorphonuclear cells >50 per large field of view, gram negative rods 75-100 per large field of view, and clue cells >50%. The patient was given metronidazole 500 mg tablet twice a day for 14 days and fluconazole 150 mg single dose. Clinical and laboratory improvement was found on day 7 and recovered on day 14 after administration of therapy. Discussion: Bacterial vaginosis is an infection caused by the growth of anaerobic organisms that causes high morbidity due to their recurrence rate. This infection is often accompanied by a fungal infection such as kandidiasis vulvovaginalis caused by bad hygiene and increased humidity in genital area. The exact diagnosis of VB along with VVC is based on clinical symptoms, microscopic examination and culture. Antibiotics and antifungal drugs are the mainstay therapies for VB with co-infection of VVC.

Abstract

BackgroundCondylomata acuminata (CA) are sexually transmitted infections primarily caused by low-risk HPV types 6 and 11. Retinoblastoma protein (pRb) interacts with HPV oncoproteins, leading to destabilization, genomic instability, and carcinogenesis. This study aimed to determine whether variations in pRb expression and sexual orientation are risk factors of the anatomical location of CA lesions and to compare differences in pRb expression by sexual orientation. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 33 patients aged >18 years with clinically and histopathologically confirmed CA. Demographic data, pRb expression assessed via excision biopsy and immunohistochemistry, and relevant risk factors were collected. Statistical analyses including Simple and multiple binary logistic regression were used to analyze the data, with model fit assessed using the Hosmer–Lemeshow test. ResultsWeak pRb expression predominated in anal lesions (92.3%; p=0.018) and among homosexual/bisexual individuals (57.9%; p=0.031), while moderate expression was more common in genital lesions (66.7%; p=0.018) and heterosexual individuals (57.1%; p=0.011). Simple logistic regression  analysis showed that HIV status (OR=11.88; p=0.025), sexual orientation (OR=13.33; p=0.001), and moderate-to-strong pRb expression (OR=24.00; p=0.008; OR=12.00; p=0.048) were associated with lesion location. In the multivariate model, pRb expression was excluded due to multicollinearity. Sexual orientation remained the only independent predictor of lesion location (Adj OR=8.89; p=0.023), with heterosexual individuals more likely to present with genital lesions. ConclusionThe expression of pRb was not a risk factor of the anatomical location of CA, and differed between genital and anal CA. However, sexual orientation emerged as the dominant independent factor associated with lesion location.
