Abstract

In addition to its widespread use as a culinary spice, white turmeric rhizome (Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe) exhibits important pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant effects. The rhizome contains secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, phenols, tannins, and terpenoids, which are believed to contribute to its potential efficacy in treating burns. This study used a fully randomized post-test-only control group design consisting of five treatment groups: P1 (5% ethanol extract of white turmeric rhizome), P2 (10%), P3 (15%), K⁺ (positive control: Bioplacenton), and K⁻ (negative control: Vaseline flavum). Parameters observed included reduction in burn wound diameter and collagen density, which were assessed through histological analysis. The results showed significant differences between treatment groups (p < 0.05). The 10% concentration showed the highest wound healing activity, reaching a healing rate of 54.72% and producing denser collagen compared to the other treatments. However, its effect did not exceed the positive control (Bioplacenton). The 5% concentration showed moderate healing activity (43.84%) with intermediate collagen density, while the 15% concentration produced the lowest effect. Overall, the findings indicate that the ethanol extract of white turmeric rhizome, particularly at a concentration of 10%, enhances burn wound healing and increases collagen formation, supporting its potential as a natural therapeutic agent for the treatment of burns.

Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and remains a significant challenge in morbidity, mortality, and disability among diabetic patients. This study aims to identify the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of hospitalized DFU patients at Raden Mattaher General Hospital, Jambi. Method: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Raden Mattaher General Hospital, Jambi, Indonesia. A total of 31 patients data were collected from the medical records of DFU patients hospitalized at Raden Mattaher General Hospital in 2022. The variables observed were age, sex, residence, comorbidities, type of DM, random blood glucose levels (RBG), amputation rate, mortality, and length of stay (LOS). Results: The mean age of DFU patients was 55.6 ± 12.6 years, with females accounting for the majority (67.7%). Most patients lived outside Jambi City (74.2%), with more than one comorbidity (48.4%). All patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus (100.0%) with RBG level of 303.8 ± 205.8 mg/dL (mean±SD), amputation rate (19.4%), mortality rate (12.9%), and the mean LOS was 10.3 ± 6.9 days. Conclusion: This study indicates that most DFU patients have multiple comorbidities and poorly controlled blood glucose levels, which contribute to a higher risk of amputation, mortality, and prolonged hospitalization.
