Abstract

Type 1 leprosy reaction / Reversal reaction (RR) is an inflammatory episode in existing leprosy lesions and aggravates the pain rate. Long-term therapy with steroids causes a variety of side effects, so an adjuvant therapy alternative is needed to alleviate steroid use. Curcuma longa rhizome extract has become an anti-inflammatory therapy choice in various previous inflammatory diseases. This study aims to determine the anti-inflammatory effect of Curcuma longa rhizome extract as an adjuvant therapy for reversal reaction patients by analyzing serum levels of IL-6 as a marker of inflammation. The pre and post-test randomized single-blinded controlled trial was conducted on two groups, namely control (RR patients with steroid therapy & placebo) and treatment (steroid therapy & Curcuma longa rhizome extract 1 gram/day). IL-6 serum levels were analyzed from sampling before and after the intervention for one month. The serum levels of IL-6 post-test in the control group were significantly higher than those of the pre-test. The treatment group showed lower serum levels of IL-6 post-test compared to pre-test, although there was no significant difference. Curcuma longa rhizome extract 1 gram/day for one month as adjuvant therapy for patients with type 1 leprosy reaction did not significantly reduce serum IL-6 levels.

Abstract

The maximum physical activity led to generate of free radical levels in the human body called oxidative stress. Red cabbage is well known as the vegetable containing highest anthocyanin among various other head cabbage plants. Anthocyanin is an antioxidant which is proven can prevent oxidative stress through reduction of MDA levels. The study aimed to investigate the effect of red cabbage extract (RCE) on MDA levels in rat after doing maximum physical activity. It was a true experimental study with post-test only control group design. Twenty-four male albino Wistar rats were used in this study. The rats were randomly divided into four groups i.e. the rats receiving maximum physical activity without and with RCE administration at dose of 86 mg/kg BW for eight days and the rats not receiving maximum physical activity without and with RCE administration. A swim test was used for maximum physical activity intervention. Serum MDA levels were measured using TBARS method. Data were analysed using one-way Anova followed by post-hoc LSD. A p value <0.005 was considered to be significant. The results showed that the rats treated with RCE both receiving maximum physical activity or not showed significant MDA reduction compared to rats without treated RCE (p=0.011 and p=0.027, respectively). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in serum MDA levels between rats treated with RCE receiving maximum physical activity and rats not treated with RCE and not receiving maximum physical activity (p=0.540). Supplementation of RCE can reduce serum MDA levels in rats with and without maximum physical activity. Further study to investigate effective dose of RCE is recommended.
