Abstract

Background : Recently, studies have concerned on the use of xanthones for treating patients with cardiovascular diseases. In our country, xanthones were found in Garcinia Mangostana Linn.Objectives : To assess the effect of Garcinia Mangostana Linn Extract (GMLE) to the levels of Circulating Endothelial Cells (CEC) and Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPC) in patients with high framingham score.Methods : A prospective cohort study was conducted from November 2018 to January 2019. The patients were divided into two groups. The first group was given 2520 mg/day of GMLE for 90 days and the second group was given placebo. In sub group analyses, patients were divided based on previous medication, including statin, statin and angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB), statin and oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD), and statin and ACEI or ARB and OAD. The outcome measures were CEC and EPC levels, measured at baseline and after 90 days of treatment. We used multiple linear regression to analyze the correlation and effect estimates.Results: A total of 72 patients was included in our study. All of the patients baseline characteristics were distributed homogeneously (p>0.05). Our findings confirmed that GMLE administration was associated with decreased CEC level compared to placebo. On other hands, increased EPC level compared to placebo was observed after GMLE administration. In sub-group analyses, our study found that the combination of GMLE with statin and ACEI or ARB and the combination of GMLE with statin and ACEI or ARB and OAD were associated with decreased level of CEC compared to placebo, with the odd ratios were 0.12 and 0.18, respectively. Conversely, increased level of EPC was observed in subjects receiving the combination of GMLE with statin and ACEI or ARB and the combination of GMLE with statin.Conclusion: Administration of GMLE as adjuvant therapy is associated with the improvement of CEC and EPC levels in patients with high framingham scores.

Abstract

Following the inclusion of Heart Science Journal (HSJ) in the Scopus index, we present this announcement outlining our forward trajectory and strategies aimed at elevating the quality of HSJ. Since the outset of 2024, HSJ has been formally indexed in Scopus, marking a significant milestone in our journey. We extend profound appreciation to our authors, editorial team, and reviewers for their diligent efforts and steadfast dedication, pivotal in realizing this accomplishment. In our ongoing pursuit of enhancing journal quality, we extend a global invitation to authors to contribute their research endeavors to HSJ. In essence, HSJ embarks on a new chapter within Scopus, and we extend a cordial invitation to scientists worldwide to partake in this collaborative endeavor.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: In Indonesia, wet cupping therapy has been thoroughly investigated as a treatment for hypertension and dyslipidemia. Nevertheless, the outcomes across these studies are contradictory.OBJECTIVES: To appraise the effectiveness of wet cupping therapy in the management of hypertension and dyslipidemia among the Indonesian population.METHODS: We examined papers sourced from Google Scholar, the Indonesian Scientific Journal Database, and Garba Rujukan Digital until September 5, 2020. These papers investigated blood pressure and lipid profile levels both pre- and post-wet cupping treatment. The collective data underwent Z-test analysis to assess associations.RESULTS: In total, we included 26 papers examining the correlation between wet cupping therapy and blood pressure, as well as 16 papers assessing lipid profile levels. Our combined analysis revealed significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (MD: 13.86; 95% CI: 10.01, 17.71), diastolic blood pressure (MD: 6.31; 95% CI: 3.84, 8.79), and lower total cholesterol levels (MD: 21.56; 95% CI: 10.32, 32.80]) in the post-treatment group compared to the pre-treatment group. However, we were unable to elucidate the impact of wet cupping therapy on the concentrations of low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride.CONCLUSIONS: Wet cupping therapy exhibits potential efficacy in reducing blood pressure and total cholesterol levels among individuals in Indonesia.
