Abstract

Self-medication practice can result in medication errors due to limited public knowledge of pharmaceutical medicine, especially among school-aged adolescents, who are prohibited from doing self-medication. This study aimed to evaluate the students' knowledge and understanding of pharmaceutical medicine, pharmacists, and self-medication, and also the awareness to be wise and smart in responding to the use of pharmaceutical products for maintaining public health. The study was carried out by conducting the lecture on drugs and self-medication through a classical presentation and comic story to students of SDN Keputih 245 Elementary School and SMPN 19 Junior High School, Surabaya. Moreover, DAGUSIBU dance was also practiced. The students actively engaged in the class during the presentation. The results of the pre-and post-test evaluations showed that this lecture method had succeeded in increasing junior high school students' knowledge about medicine and DAGUSIBU. On the other hand, the pre-test scores of Elementary School students were better than the post-test, except for new knowledge related to the drug logo and classification. It suggests that the delivery methods were inappropriate for elementary school students. It can be concluded that school-age adolescents, especially in elementary and junior high schools, need assistance during self-medication. This community service activity by a presentation and comic telling methods successfully improved the knowledge of SMPN 19 Junior High School about drugs and DAGUSIBU; however, it needs a more straightforward explanation with attractive learning methods for delivering a lecture to Elementary School students.

Abstract

Nanospanlastic is an elastic nanovesicular drug delivery system developed to enhance skin penetration, retention, and therapeutic efficacy in topical and transdermal applications. However, variations in formulation methods, characterization parameters, and evaluation approaches across studies have limited the standardization of its performance. This review was conducted systematically in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was performed using international electronic databases, including ScienceDirect, Springer, PubMed, SAGE, and Taylor & Francis online, covering publications from 2015 to 2025. The keywords used were "nanospanlastic,” “spanlastic,” “nanovesicles,” “transdermal,” “topical,” “characterization,” and “application.” Articles were screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 32 eligible studies were selected for qualitative meta-synthesis analysis. This article presents a cross-study comparative analysis focusing on formulation factors, physicochemical characteristics, deformability, stability, and dermatological applications. The synthesis results indicate that surfactant–edge activator composition, manufacturing methods, and component ratios significantly influence particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), entrapment efficiency, and deformability index, which, in turn, determine skin penetration and retention performance. Although nanospanlastic demonstrates improved permeation and promising pharmacological effects, challenges remain regarding long-term stability, chronic safety, and scalability for GMP-based industrial production. This review highlights critical research gaps and proposes future development directions, including formulation optimization, harmonization of characterization methods, and broader clinical validation. Therefore, nanospanlastic represents a promising innovative platform for dermatological drug delivery but requires further systematic and translational development

Abstract

Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC) appears as the next generation of lipid nanoparticles which overcomes the weaknesses of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLN). NLC is a delivery system that offers several advantages, such as significantly improved entrapment efficiency, reduced drug expulsion during long-term storage, and increased contact between the drug and the stratum corneum, thereby enhancing drug penetration. The methods used to manufacture NLC have high energy-required such as high-pressure homogenization and high shear homogenization, low energy-required such as microemulsification and phase inversion, and very low or no energy-required such as solvent evaporation and solvent injection. The basic components of an NLC are solid lipids, liquid lipids, and surfactants or mixtures of surfactants. This narrative review refers to several previously published databases on the types, preparation methods, and physical properties of NLC. This review focuses on descriptions related to the NLC as a topical drug delivery system.
