Micronucleus is one of the early states of DNA damage found in human gingival mucosa after dental panoramic radiography exposure. The increasing amount of micronucleus will reach a peak in the tenth day after the exposure, and it will continuously decrease right after the fourteenth day. Rabbit has almost the same gingival mucosa and turn-over period with human for about 10-12 days. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the increasing amount of micronucleus in rabbit’s gingival mucosa after panoramic radiography exposure. A total of nine New Zealand rabbits were divided into 3 groups to represent day of 3rd, 6th  and 9th after the panoramic radiography exposure. The mandibular anterior gingival mucosa of each animals was swabbed using a cervical brush before and after panoramic radiography exposure. The samples were stained with Feulgen-Rossenbeck modification, and the amount of micronucleus was counted using a microscope that is connected to Optilab. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test. The statistical analysis showed that there was significant difference (p <0.05) between the number of micronucleus before exposure and 9th day after panoramic radiography exposure. Moreover, there was no significant difference (p> 0.05) between the amount of micronucleus before exposure compared with 3rd  and 6th  day after panoramic radiography exposure. Based on the experiment, it is concluded that the result is consistent with previous studies conducted in human that there was increasing amount of micronucleus at the 9th  day after panoramic radiography exposure. This result   indicates that rabbit   performs the increasing amount of micronucleus in gingival mucosa because of panoramic radiography exposure

Abstract

Propagermanium, a synthetic organic compound of germanium is known as β- or biscarboxyethylgermaniumsesquioxide or Ge-132. It is found in some plants such as shelf fungus,ginseng, garlic, and Aloe vera. Ge-132 plays an important role for the pharmacological effectsof the plants. The solubility of propagermanium at a certain pH is not exactly known yet. Untilnow, the analytical methods for the analysis of Ge-132 so far have the shortcoming and thepropagermanium as germanium metal in the sample, so that improvement for propagermaniumanalysis was necessary to be conducted, primarily to be used for solubility assay. This studyaims to determine the effects of pH on the propagermanium solubility using HPLC method foranalysis. The results showed that validation parameters for analysis by using HPLC method e.iaccuracy, precision, and linearity, have met to the quantitative analysis requirements. Increasingthe pH causes increasing the solubility of propagermanium in the pH range of 3.0-3.6. Thesolubility result was 9.8514; 10.4204; 12.5446 mg/mL on pH 3.0; 3.3; 3.6.

Abstract

The effectivity of a topical drug therapy was influenced by its ability to penetrate into skin. Stratum corneum which is a barrier of skin layer caused most drugs experience difficulties in penetrating skin layer in a appropriate speed to reach its therapeutic level, even though it is a potent drug. Research on drug permeability through skin layer is a must in order to develop transdermal formulation. In this work we had conducted intrinsic permeability and diffusion thermodynamic test of piroxicam in phosphate buffer pH 3,5 in vitro, using side by side diffusion cell complemented with rabit skin membrane. Data gained in this experiment were flux, permeability coefficient, diffusion coefficient, and latent time for piroxicam consecutively 2.78x10-4 mg/cm2/second, 6.68x10-6 cm/second, 1,08x10-9 cm2/second and 33.77 minutes. Piroxicam diffusion process was an endothermic and unconstant process. DF, DH, and DS value for piroxicam diffusion process at 32ºC were consecutively 7.22 kcal/mol, 4.73 kcal/mol, and 8.16 cal /degr/mol. ABSTRAK Efektivitas terapi obat yang digunakan secara topikal tergantung dari kemampuannya untuk berpenetrasi ke dalam kulit. Stratum korneum yang merupakan lapisan penghalang kulit menyebabkan sebagian besar obat sulit untuk melewati kulit dengan kecepatan yang cukup untuk mencapai level terapetiknya walaupun merupakan obat yang poten.

Abstract

Solubility is prerequisite for drug absorption across absorptive cell lining the small intestine. It is a problem for poor water soluble drug because limiting its bioavailability when administered by oral route. Lipid based delivery system such as self-nanoemulsifying delivery system (SNEDDS) can be utilized in improving its solubility so that better bioavailability is achieved. Pterostilbene has extremely low solubility in water then become its limiting factor for the bioavailability. This research developed SNEDDS for oral delivery of pterostilbene. Optimum composition of SNEDDS formulation was judged by its dispersion efficiency and clarity when dispersed in water. The efficiency of this formula in enhancing bioavailability was assessed by in vitro digestion model to predict its bioavailability by determining its bioaccessibility. The result showed that optimum composition of SNEDDS was achieved by soybean oil-Croduret® 50-Span 80-PEG 400 in ratio of 16.37 %, 32.07 %, 11.56 %, and 40 %, respectively. This formula has bioacessibility of 91.48 ± 2.18 %, and it is much higher compared to pterostilbene that was not formulated into SNEDDS, i.e 4.63 ± 1.11 %. Determined by dynamic light scattering, this optimum formula has droplet size of 31.8 nm when dispersed in water.
