Abstract

Background: The primary acute damage due to UV radiation is keratinocyte apoptosis or sunburn cell. Previous studies showed that antioxidants inhibit UV damage. Java plum (Syzygium cumini) which is found in Indonesia, was known to have a high concentration of antioxidants. This study was aimed to assess the Java plum ethanol extract cream effects on the number of sunburn cells on the dorsal skin of male Wistar rats that exposed to UV-B. Methods This experimental research was a post-test only control group design that was conducted on 30 male rats. Groups were divided into control, placebo, 5%, 10%, and 20% ethanol extract cream concentrations (P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5, respectively). The number of sunburn cell were then observed and recorded based on visual evaluation of the skin biopsy under a light microscope. Results: The mean results of P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 were 132.67, 98.67, 118.67, 104.00, and 54.67 respectively. The control, placebo, 5%, and 10% ethanol extract cream showed no significant result (p>0.05). In contrast, 20% ethanol extract cream showed a protective effect (p<0.05). Conclusion: Java plum ethanol extract cream with 20% dose could decrease the number of sunburn cells in the skin.

Abstract

Background: Skin aging in menopause women was due to fewer collagen numbers in cells and antioxidants are necessary for inhibiting the process of skin aging due to oxidative stress. Red dragon fruits which plant in Indonesia was known to have a high concentration of antioxidants. This study aimed to assess the ethanol extract of red dragon fruit skin effects on the number of collagens on the skin of female Wistar rats which has been ovariectomized. Methods: This experimental research was a post-test only control group design that was conducted on 30 female Wistar rats. Groups were divided into control (P0), 5% ethanol extract (P1), and 15% ethanol extract concentrations (P2). The dosage was given orally to the 30 female rats and left for observation for 30 days. The number of collagens was observed and calculated on visual evaluation of the skin biopsy under a light microscope. Results: The result showed a significant difference between treatment groups and control (p<0.05). The number of collagen are higher in P2 (83.03 ±4.84) and P1 (77.26 ±5.06) than P0 (57.73 ±5.04). Conclusion: Ethanol extract of red dragon fruit skin could increase the number of collagen in rat skin.
