There are three main factors that cause Pityriasis sicca. Stress stimulates the body to increase sebum production in the sebaceous glands. Objective: To know the correlation between stress levels and incidence of Pityriasis sicca in the final year students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara class of 2017. Methods: This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design, started from July 2020 until October 2020. Sampling was carried out using a total sampling technique. The data were obtained using univariate and bivariate statistical analysis.

Abstract

Introduction: Wound healing involves complex interactions between cells and mediators that occur immediately after the wound occurs and depends on nutritional factors and wound closure. Snakehead murrel fish (Channa striata) extract has been extensively researched to speed up the wound healing process because of its high amino acid content. Patch tests were carried out to assess the allergen potential of the Channa striata extract biopolymer in the form of wound dressings. Methods: Experimental study of 40 subjects who had admit patch test with various consentration of Channa striata extract biopolymer. The patch test materials divided of 5 grups. They were aquadest solution, Eucheuma cottonii biopolymer, Channa striata extract biopolymer concentrations of 5.4 g/mL, 10.8 g/mL, and 21.6 g/mL. All subjects had been assessed for skin reactions that occured after 48 hours, 72 hours, and 96 hours. Results: A total of 40 subjects met the inclusion criteria and completed informed consent.  There was minimum allergen reaction (+) in slight subject in all grups except aquadest grup after 48 hours. The allergic reaction dissolve in 72 and 96 hours. An irritant reaction (IR) occurred in among all grups but indicated to the  hypafix plaster. Conclusion: Patch test containing biopolymer Channa striata extract showed a minimal allergic reaction

Most cases of xanthelasma are associated with hyperlipidemia. Case Reports: A male aged 37 presented with yellow patches on both upper eyelids since ±2 years ago. Vital sign within normal limid. Dermatological examination found yellowish plaques with clear boundaries sized 0.5 cm located on medial canthus of the supraorbital dextra and sized 1 cm located on medial canthus of the supraorbital sinistra. Laboratory test showed that hypercholesterolemia. The patient then underwent excision surgical procedure. Discussion: Xanthoma is a plaque consisted abnormal deposition of lipid and foam cells. Generally, this condition is found in aged 40–60 years old. The condition is found more in females than males, on superior palpebrae as the most common location. Diagnosis is established based on history and dermatological evaluation. The aim of xanthelasma management is mostly cosmetic-related. Elliptical or fusiform excision is the most method applied. Conclusion: A 37 years old male with xanthelasma palpebrarum on bilateral upper eyelids with hypercholesterolemia was treated with surgical excision. The surgical wound appeared well later on the 6th days and a month post-surgery. Latar Belakang: Xantelasma palpebrarum merupakan bentuk xantoma yang paling umum dengan lesi berwarna kekuningan, datar, lunak, dan sebagian besar terletak di sudut medial palpebra.

Pemeriksaan laboratorium menunjukkan kolesterol total 215 mg/dL, HDL 45 mg/dL, LDL 126 mg/dL, dan trigliserida 110 mg/dL. Pasien kemudian direncanakan untuk dilakukan bedah eksisi. Diskusi: Xantoma adalah plak yang terdiri dari endapan lipid abnormal dan sel busa. Umumnya kondisi ini muncul pada usia 40-60 tahun, ditemukan lebih banyak pada perempuan dibandingkan dengan laki-laki dan palpebra superior sebagai lokasi tersering. Diagnosis umumnya ditegakkan berdasarkan anamnesis dan pemeriksaan dermatologis. Penatalaksanaan xantelasma ditujukan untuk mengatasi gangguan kosmetik. Eksisi elips merupakan metode yang paling banyak digunakan. Kesimpulan: Seorang pria 37 tahun dengan xantelasma palpebrarum pada palpebra superior bilateral dengan hiperkolesterolemia ditangani dengan bedah eksisi.
