Low back pain (LBP) is one of the common symptoms experienced by some of the world community. Acupuncture as a method of healing a disease offers a solution for LBP symptom. This study aimed to determine the effect of acupuncture with local and Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA) points with biochemical analysis related to total protein, albumin, and globulin, and analysis of blood serum protein profiles using the SDS-PAGE method. This research was conducted using sterile acupuncture needles that inserted in patients with several local points, namely BL22 (Sanjiaoshu), BL23 (Shenshu), BL24 (Qihaishu), BL25C (Dachangshu), and BL26C (Guanyuanshu) and combined with the YNSA points through somatotope D points and extra lumbar points H and I. Blood serum was collected for total protein, albumin, and globulin analysis. That blood serum was also used for protein profile analysis using Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) method. The results showed that six times of acupuncture treatments gave positive correlation in total protein, albumin, and globulin. Analysis of blood serum protein profiles using SDS-PAGE showed a protein band of about 12 KDa and it might be a interleukin-13 protein. The results were expected can be useful as scientific information especially related to acupuncture for LBP treatment and this of about 12 KDa protein band can be used as biomarker candidates for the symptoms.

This service activity can be said to be successful based on the evaluation carried out. Partners of this service activity said that this activity was very useful and hoped that it would be continued and carried out again. Several community members immediately reported changes in joint pain. Evaluation of simple laboratory examination activities showed that his cholesterol and uric acid levels had improved. Evaluation of the level of understanding of acupuncture for musculoskeletal pain, with repeated implementation, shows that partners can demonstrate acupuncture.

Abstract

Wrinkles on the face are one of the processes of aging factors. The thinning of the collagen and elastin layers on the skin causes facial wrinkles. The wrinkles are due to a lack of thickness of the dermis layer of as much as 20%, which is associated with the loss of elastin and collagen fibers. This study uses the pre-experimental design with the pretest-posttest control group design method. The research was conducted from October 2018 to April 2019 in Dangkrang Environment, Purwantoro, Wonogiri. The study used a sample of 40 subjects meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria divided into two groups (n = 20). Group I was treated with point acupuncture therapy LI 4 (Hegu), LU 7 (Lieque), and face massage.The Mann-Whitney U Test statistics obtained a p-value of 0.001. The results showed significant differences in changes in the face area between the two groups. Point acupuncture therapy LI 4 (Hegu), LU 7 (Lieque), and facial massage are more effective in reducing the scale of wrinkles on the face in the Dangkrang, Purwantoro, Wonogiri surroundings.
