Abstract

As the population of elderly increases, the number of andropause also increases. Andropause is characterized by the decrease of testosteron level which is accompanied by hypogonadism symptoms. Many studies mentioned that decreased testosterone level will contribute to inflammation state, one of the cytokine is TNF-α, which then lead to many chronic inflammation disorders and influence the quality of life. Understanding the significant correlation between androgen and inflammation allows accurate consideration making in using androgen replacement therapy, therefore the quality of life will be improved significantly.This research was an analytical cross-sectional study. Subjects were recruited through random sampling at Denpasar in 2019. TNF-α serum level was measured by human immunoassay method. Andropause was measured by ADAM questionnaire and confirmed by total decreased testosterone serum level. Quality of life was measured by WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire which was then continued by bivariate and multivariate analysis to control the confounding variables. It was considered statistically significant if P value is more than 0.05. There were 60 elderly involved as research subjects consisting of 43 andropause cases and 17 non andropause cases. There was significant correlation between TNF-α serum and quality of life. This study also found that there was significant difference in quality of life between andropause and non andropause group. This study shows that there was significant correlation between TNF-α serum level and andropause with quality of life in elderly.

Abstract

Introduction: Hyperpigmentation is a condition of increasing melanin production in the skin due to UV light exposure. Sandfish (Holothuria scabra) contains phenol, quercetin, saponins, tannins, flavonoids and antioxidants such as vitamin C and others that have the potential anti-melanogenesis effects. The purpose of this study was to prove that topical administration of 40% sandfish (Holothuria scabra) extract gel prevented melanin elevation in UVB-exposed guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) skin. Methods: This study used a randomized post-test only group design by using of 36 guinea pigs. Guinea pigs were then divided into two groups. The control group were 18 guinea pigs exposed to UVB rays and treated with placebo gel base (P0). The treatment group were 18 guinea pigs exposed to UVB rays and treated with 40% sandfish extract gel. The back skin exposed to UVB rays, was cleaned from fur and swabbed with 70% alcohol. After that a punch-biopsy was carried out in the area and histopathological preparations were made. The amount of melanin was examined using Masson-Fontana staining. Results: The results showed that the average amount of melanin in the control group was 18.11± 1.11%, while the average amount of melanin in the treatment group was 1.82 ± 0.72%. Comparative analysis using independent T- test showed that the value of p was <0.001 means that there were significant differences between the control group and the treatment group. Conclusion: The administration of 40% sandfish (Holothuria scabra) extract gel prevented melanin elevation in UVB-exposed guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) skin.

Abstract

Introduction: In menopausal women, there increasing evidence of adipocyte dysfunction which result in a decrease in adiponectin HMW. The decrease in adiponectin HMW causes various pathological conditions related to aging such as metabolic syndrome. Simple adiponectin HMW measurements can evaluate early insulin resistance, metabolic disorders, or vascular health. The purpose of this study was to prove the relationship between adiponectin HMW levels and metabolic syndrome components in menopausal women. Methods: In this study, 45 postmenopausal women were used who declared physically healthy, met the criteria of metabolic syndrome based on IDF (International Diabetes Federation), willing to participate in the study and willing to fill out research forms as research subjects. This research was conducted at Panti Werdha Theodora in Makassar while the examination of HMW Adiponectin, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, and High Density Lipoprotein was carried out in Prodia Laboratory. Result: The results showed a strong correlation between adiponectin HMW and metabolic syndrome components which included waist circumference, HDL levels, triglyceride levels, systolic blood pressure, diastolic and fasting blood glucose (p <0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that there was a relationship between adiponectin HMW levels and the metabolic syndrome component in menopausal women. HDL and waist circumference were the most significant factors compared to other metabolic factors associated with Adiponectin HMW.

Abstract

Introduction: Ultraviolet exposure has been known to be the most significant factor influencing skin pigmentation, includes in increasing melanin amount. It is caused by the effect of ultraviolet B radiation in increasing melanin synthesis. Topical administration of metformin can inhibit the melanogenesis process by decreasing the level of cAMP and inhibiting PKC-β activation. This research aimed to prove that administration of 0.5% metformin cream prevented the increase of melanin amount in ultraviolet B exposed guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) skin. Methods: This study was a true experimental research using posttest only control group design. Thirty six male guinea pigs were divided into control and treatment group. Base cream was administered to the control group and 0.5% metformin cream was administered to the treatment group once daily. All of the guinea pigs were exposed to ultraviolet B radiation at 390 mJ/cm2 three times a week. Punch biopsy was conducted two weeks after treatment to obtain skin samples for histologic preparations. Thereafter, those samples were stained with Masson-Fontana to examine the melanin amount. Finally, the average melanin amount in both groups was compared. Results: All samples in both groups successfully made to the end of the research without drop out. This research found that the average amount of melanin in treatment group, which was 2.04 ± 0.62%, was significantly lower than control group, which was 18.57 ± 1.68% (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Administration of 0.5% metformin cream prevented the increase of melanin amount in ultraviolet B exposed guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) skin.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a degenerative disease associated with premature aging characterized by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia in people with DM causes oxidative stress and increases Glycated Albumin level, which is the initial precursor to the formation of AGEs. In turn, AGEs will lead to pancreatic β cell damage and apoptosis. Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus L) contains phytochemicals with antioxidant that has the potential to reduce diabetic complications. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of metformin and red fruit extract combination toward blood glucose, glycated albumin and pancreatic β cells density in diabetic rats (Rattus norvegicus). Methods: A post-test only control group study was conducted using 36 male Wistar rats as subject. All subjects were induced for type-2 DM with Streptozotocin and Nicotinamide. The diabetic rats were then divided into 2 groups: the positive control group treated with metformin + placebo and the treatment group treated with metformin + red fruit extract. Pancreatic β cell, fasting blood glucose and glycated albumin assessments were performed after 21 days of treatment. Results: The results showed the mean number of pancreatic β cells in the treatment group was higher than the control group (116.11±33.14 vs 83.20±23.94 cells/visual field; p=0.002). But the mean fasting blood glucose in the treatment group was not significantly different compared to the control group (107.67±14.93 vs. 113.67±11.19 mg/dl; p=0.181). The same result also found in the gycated albumin level (Treatment vs control: 6.97±3.63 vs 6.42±4.01 ng/ml; p=0.666). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the administration of red fruit extract increased the density of pancreatic β cell but did not reduce fasting blood glucose and glycated albumin levels in diabetic Wistar rats.

Abstract

Introduction: Oral studies of tranexamic acid significantly reduce the MASI (Melasma Area and Severity Index) value but have not evaluated a decrease in the amount of melanin. The purpose of this study is to prove that oral tranexamic acid can reduce the amount of melanin and have the same effectiveness as intradermal injections in female guinea pigs exposed to ultraviolet B. Method: A posttest only control group design study was conducted using 32 female mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weight 250-280 grams, which were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group 1 was given an intradermal injection of tranexamic acid 5 mg/ml, 0.5 ml/cm and exposure to UVB. Group 2 was given oral treatment of tranexamic acid 250 mg twice a day and exposure to UVB. The treatment was given for 4 weeks. Total UVB exposure was 390mj/sec. The study was conducted in the animal laboratory of the Udayana medical faculty. Results: The statistic result showed that the data were normally distributed and homogenous. The comparative test with the independent sample t-test indicated that there was no significant difference between intradermal injections with oral tranexamic acid administration in reducing the amount of melanin in female guinea pigs exposed to UVB with p> 0.05. Conclusion: oral tranexamic acid significantly reduced the amount of melanin and had the same effectiveness as intradermal injections in reducing the amount of melanin in female guinea pigs exposed to UVB.

Abstract

Background: Excessive physical activity triggers hormonal imbalances, one of which is beta endorphin and lead to increasing leukocytes as a response to the inflammation. The purpose of this study was to prove that excessive physical activity increased leucocyte and decreased endorphin levels in male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). Methods: This study was an experimental study with randomized pretest-posttest group design. The research subjects were male rats (Rattus norvegicus), Wistar strain, aged 8-10 weeks with a body weight of 150-200 grams and healthy. A total of 14 rats were randomly divided into two groups. The first group was treated with balanced physical activity (P1), the second group was treated with excessive physical activity (P2). On day 8 and day 28, leukocytes were examined using whole blood method and beta endorphin were examined using ELISA. Results: The results showed that in the group P1, both leukocyte levels (from 14.0±2.73x103/µL to 17.1±5.07x103/µL, p= 0.170) and beta endorphin levels (from 176±30.2 to 161±11.1 ng/mL, p= 0.110) remained stable. Whereas, the P2 group experienced leukocyte reduction (from 12.3±2.19x103/µL to 23.7±2.92x103/µL, p <0.001) and decreased beta endorphin levels (from 212±46.0 ng/mL to 55.3±8.05 ng/mL, p <0.001). Conclusion: This study suggesting that excessive physical activity increased leucocyte and decreased endorphin levels in male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus).

Abstract

Introduction: UVB rays stimulate the tyrosinase which activates the biosynthesis of melanin and cause skin aging characterized by hyperpigmentation. Ashitaba is a plant rich of chalcone, a flavonoid compound with tyrosinase inhibitor activity. This study aimed to prove that oral Ashitaba (Angelica keiskei) extract prevented the elevation of tyrosinase levels and total melanin in the UVB-exposed guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) skin. Methods: This study used randomized posttest only control group design. The subjects were guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus), male, healthy, local strains, aged 3-4 months, weighing 300-­350 grams, one hybrid, which were divided into 2 groups (n = 18). The first group was the control group (treatment with exposure to ultraviolet B and placebo), the second group was the treatment group (treatment with exposure to ultraviolet B and oral Ashitaba leaves extract of 25 mg/kgBB). After 2 weeks of treatment, tyrosinase level was examined by the ELISA method, while the amount of melanin was examined for Masson­Fontana staining. Results: The mean tyrosinase level in the control group after 2 weeks of treatment was higer (30.64 ± 4.19ng/ml) than on the treatment group (11.47 ± 0.62ng/ml) with (p<0.05). In addition, the average number of melanin in the control group was also higer (19.05 ± 2.53%) than the treatment group (1.85 ± 0.84%) (p <0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that oral Ashitaba (Angelica keiskei) extract prevented the increase of tyrosinase levels and total melanin in the UVB-exposed guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) skin.
