Abstract

Introduction: UVB can cause direct damage to the DNA and eventually cause apoptosis of epidermal keratinocytes, which is called a sunburn cells. Polypodium leucotomos (Heliocare®) is one of the skin photoprotectors that can modulate immune and inflammatory responses that play a role in preventing sunburn. This study aimed to prove that oral administration of Polypodium leucotomos powder inhibits sunburn cells formation in UVB-induced male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). Methods: This study was a true experimental study using post-test only control group design consisted of two groups with 18 rats/group. One group as a control group (P0) that was treated with oral 1ml aquadest (force feeding) for 10 days. The other group was the treatment group (P1) treated with oral Heliocare® dry powder (Polypodium leucotomos) of 80 mg/kg BW diluted in 1 ml aquadest (force feeding) for 10 days. On the day 11, the dorsal skin was shaved and exposed to single dose UVB of 25mJ. Twenty-four hours later, rats were sacrificed and skin samples were collected for histology preparations with Hematoxylin-Eosin staining and sunburn cells were counted as posttest data. Results: The results showed that the average number of sunburn cells in the P0 group was 36.5±7.53 sunburn cells/mm2, while in the P1 group was 8.3±3.59 sunburn cells/mm2 (p <0.05). Those data showed that there was a significant different of average number of sunburn cells among group tested. Conclusion: It can be concluded that oral administration of 80 mg/kg BW Polypodium leucotomos powder inhibited sunburn cells formation in UVB-induced male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus).

Abstract

Introduction: In aging process, the hair experiences thinning and the hair shaft becomes more fragile due to decreased regeneration of hair. Cinnamon essential oil contains cinnamaldehyde compounds which have a vasodilating effect on blood vessels and stimulating IGF-1 can increase fertility and prevent hair loss. Methods: This study was an experimental study with a post test only control group design carried out in the laboratory animal unit of the pharmacology section of the Udayana University medical faculty. In this study 30 male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) wistar lines were sheared 4cmx4cm which were divided into three groups: negative (aquades) control group (2% minoxidil), treatment group with cinnamon essential oil (concentration 100 %) for 30 days. Results: The average hair length of aquades (P0) was 5.88 ± 0.36 mm, minoxidil group 2% (P1) 7.4 ± 0.20 mm. , cinnamon essential oil group (P2) 8.32 ± 0.18 mm In the diameter size of hair follicles in the three groups showed the mean diameter size of hair follicles was significantly different (P <0.05). The average results of the group hair follicle diameter (P0) were 79.73 ± 30.68 µm, group (P1) 127.07 ± 38.20 µm and group (P2) 130.91 ± 49.96 µm. The LSD test results on hair length measurements between the three groups showed a very significant difference (P <0.01). Group P0 and P1-1,51 mm, group P0 and P2-2,44 mm group P1 and P2 0,92 mm. The results of LSD hair follicle diameter P0 and P1 -47.34 µm (P <0.05), P0 and P2 -51.18 µm (P <0.01), P1 and P2 -3.84 µm (P> 0 , 05) Conclusion: The application of topical cinnamon essential oil increases hair length and diameter size of male wistar rat hair follicles as effectively as topical minoxidil 2%.

Abstract

Abstract Background: Exercise maintains health and prevent aging. However, excessive exercise causes overtraining syndrome. Selenium supplementation may increase cellular antioxidant activity, such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx), thioredoxin reductase (TRx), and selenoprotein P. This study aimed to prove that selenium-enriched eggs is more effective to increase serum glutathione peroxidase and decrease F2-isoprostane level of excessive physical training-induced rats (Rattus norvegicus) than ordinary eggs.Methods: This experimental study used randomized pretest-posttest control group design. Subjects were 16 male Wistar rats, 16 weeks old, healthy, weighing 150-160 grams. Subjects were divided randomly into 2 groups (n=8), one group was treated with excessive physical training and 6.48 grams of ordinary eggs, and another group was treated with excessive physical training and 6.48 grams of selenium-enriched eggs for 14 days. Results: Post-test analysis showed that the mean of glutathione peroxidase level in the group given ordinary eggs was 45.90±8.11 mIU/mL, while the group given selenium-enriched eggs was 72.61±7.40 mIU/mL (p= 0.001). In addition, the mean of F2-Isoprostane level in the group given ordinary eggs was 6.37±1.34 ng/ml and the group given selenium-enriched eggs was 3.39±0.77 ng/ml (p= 0,001). Analysis of paired sample t-test revealed that in both groups, glutathione peroxidase levels were increase while F2-isoprostane levels were decrease. Conclusion: This study suggested that selenium-enriched eggs is more effective to increase serum glutathione peroxidase and decrease F2-isoprostane level of excessive physical training-induced rats (Rattus norvegicus) than ordinary eggs. Key words: excessive physical training, F2-isoprostane, glutathione peroxidase, selenium-enriched eggs, Wistar rat.

Abstract

Background: The healing process of burns wound can be accelerated using natural compound and one example of alternative medicine is virgin red palm Oil (VRPO). However, scientific evidence that back this notion is still lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effect VRPO toward burn wound healing in male wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). Methods: An experimental randomized post-test only control group study was conducted using 28 male Wistar rats. Burn wound was created in all rats but only treatment group received VRPO while the control group was treated with placebo cream. Skin sample was obtained from each rat at day 4 and 11 for histological examination (fibroblasts density, neovascularization, and epithelialization). Results: The results showed that VRPO improved fibroblast density, neovascularization, and epithelialization at day 4 compared to control group. However, at day 11, there was a decreased in fibroblast density and neovascularization while epithelialization continuously increased at double the rate of the control group. Conclusion: Topical VRPO improved burn wound healing by increasing wound healing speed and epithelialization.

Abstract

Introduction: Dyslipidemia is one of the factors of the occurrence of heart disease and atherosclerosis. Simvastatin and Pomegranate (Punica granatum) work by improving the lipid profile. The aim of this study was to prove that red pomegranate extract (Punica granatum) improve lipid profile of male white rats that are dyslipidemic. Method: This research is a experimental study with randomized pre test and post test control group design, using 20 adult male white rats as sample. After 30 days, rats were divided into 2 study groups with 10 rats per group. The group was classified into two (P1 and P2). Prior to the treatment, the rats were examined the first diluted T-cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and HDL levels as pretest data. Treatment was performed for 15 days. Results: The mean pretest HDL level in the simvastatin group was 23.84 ± 2.54 mg / dL and the red pomegranate extract group was 25.41 ± 2.34 mg / dL and p = 0.167. After treatment for 15 days, the mean posttest the red pomegranate extract group was 126.55 ± 3.09 mg / dL and p = 0,001. The mean posttest HDL level in the simvastatin group was 58.72 ± 5.21 mg / dL and the red pomegranate extract group was 40.56 ± 2.87 mg / dL and p = 0,001. Conclusion: The administration of red Punica granatum is not as effective as simvastatin in improving lipid profile in dyslipidemic rats. Although not as effective as simvastatin, red pomegranate extract can significantly improve lipid profile.

Abstract

Background: Immune system function decreases with age. Steroid use might accelerate this process, especially in adults in Indonesia. Melatonin is a natural hormone which show antioxidant effect and immunoprotective effect. Melatonin administration might help in reviving humane immune system due to aging and exogenous steroid exposure. Objective: This experiment is aimed to determine the effect of melatonin on leukocyte and lymphocyte count of methylprednisolone-induced immunosuppression on Wistar rat. Method: This study was true experimental with post-test only control group design using 32 male rats. Rats were divided into control and the intervention group. Control group was given methylprednisolone 0.144 mg/200 g rat 3 times a day and distilled water. The treatment group was given methylprednisolone 0.144/200 g rat 3 times a day and 0.054 mg/200 g melatonin once daily. The blood was taken after 14 days of treatment. Results: Intervention group shows higher lymphocytes count (4.95 ±1.58x103/L) compared to the control group (3.091.33x103/L), with p < 0.01. The intervention group also has higher leukocyte count (8.37± 2.02x103/L) compared to the control group (6.70 ± 1.96x103/L), with p
