Abstract

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress and inflammation contribute to pancreatic cell dysfunction that promote insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Red rice bran contains bioactive substances with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which improved insulin resistance in obese mice. However, no studies have explored the potential of ethanol extract of red rice bran (EERRB) to prevent T2D progression, particularly pancreatic fibrosis complications. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of EERRB on inflammation measured with interleukin (IL)-1β and fibrosis of pancreatic tissue in a rat model of T2D. METHODS: Rats were induced with streptozotocin and nicotinamide to induce diabetes, and then separated into five groups. One group received no treatment, while the other four received 9 mg/kg/day acarbose, 165, 330, or 660 mg/kg/day EERRB orally for 21 days. Immunohistochemistry was conducted on pancreas tissues to measure the expression of IL-1β, while pancreatic fibrosis was assessed with Masson’s Trichrome staining.RESULTS: EERRB reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-1β, in pancreas tissue in a dose dependent manner. Significantly lower IL-1β expression were found in group receiving 660 mg/kg/day EERRB (10%) compared to diabetic with no treatment group (50%) (p<0.0001). Additionally, the IL-1β expression in the highest dose of EERRB group was comparable to the group receiving acarbose (10%). CONCLUSION: This finding suggests the beneficial effect of EERRB in the hyperglycemic condition that causes oxidative stress through blocking the IL-1β expression, hence alleviating the inflammation in pancreas tissue, and have a tendency in preventing pancreatic fibrosis progression, a process implicated in T2D pathogenesis. KEYWORDS: diabetes, inflammation, pancreatic fibrosis, red rice bran

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the advantages of Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) application in myringoplasty surgery compared to other platelet concentrates such as Platelet-Rich Fibrin Membrane (PFRM), Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin (A-PRF), and Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (I-PRF). The research method used is a qualitative literature review, collecting and analyzing data from recent scientific journals and clinical studies related to the use of L-PRF in tympanic membrane repair. The study finds that L-PRF, with its dense fibrin network and high content of leukocytes and growth factors, enhances tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and epithelialization, which are critical for successful graft integration and faster healing after myringoplasty. Compared to other platelet concentrates, L-PRF offers better mechanical strength and a more sustained release of growth factors. Additionally, L-PRF reduces postoperative complications and improves hearing outcomes. Being an autologous biomaterial, it also reduces the risk of immune rejection. The findings suggest that L-PRF is a promising graft material in otologic surgery, though further clinical trials are needed to optimize its application protocols.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus induces oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction, accelerating atherosclerosis development marked by elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin-12 (IL-12). Diabetes often causes significant vascular changes, which can be represented by carotid tunica intima thickening and elevated renin level. Metformin, which remains as the standard therapy, has limited vascular effects. Vitamin D and magnesium exhibit vasoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties; however, their combined effects on diabetic vascular injury remain unclear. This study evaluated the effects of vitamin D and magnesium combination on serum hs-CRP, IL-12, renin, and carotid tunica intima thickness in diabetic rats.METHODS: Wistar rats were diabetic-induced by 45 mg/kg streptozotocin and 110 mg/kg nicotinamide. Following the induction, the rats were subsequently assigned to receive no treatment, metformin, or a combination of vitamin D and magnesium. Healthy rats were also included as control. Blood sample was collected after 21 days of treatment. Serum hs-CRP, IL-12, and renin were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), while the carotid tunica intima thickness was assessed by Doppler ultrasound.RESULTS: Diabetic rats showed significant increases hs-CRP, IL-12, renin level, and intima thickness (p<0.001) compared to control. Both metformin and combination of Vitamin D and magnesium reduced these parameters, with combination of Vitamin D and magnesium showing the greatest improvement. Carotid intima thickness in the combination of Vitamin D and magnesium group was comparable to normal controls, indicating marked vascular protection.CONCLUSION: Vitamin D and magnesium combination provided superior glycemic, anti-inflammatory, and vascular protective effects compared to metformin alone. This adjunctive strategy might have potential in preventing vascular complications in diabetes.KEYWORDS: diabetes mellitus, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, hs-CRP, IL-12, atherosclerosis

Abstract

Tympanic membrane perforation is a significant clinical concern that can lead to hearing impairment and recurrent ear infections. This study aims to review the roles of Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF), fibroblasts, keratinocytes, granulation tissue, and collagen density during the wound-healing phases of the tympanic membrane.A Systematic Journal Review was conducted by analyzing studies retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases published between 2020 and 2025. Of the 400 records screened,, 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings revealed that IL-1β plays a key role in the inflammatory phase by modulating immune responses and recruiting healing cells. FGF stimulates fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation, which are essential for extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and re-epithelialization. Moreover, granulation tissue formation and collagen deposition are critical determinants of structural integrity and healing quality. Overall, tympanic membrane repair requires synergistic interactions among molecular mediators, cellular components, and biomaterial support to optimize tissue regeneration. These findings provide a scientific basis for developing more effective regenerative and tissue-engineering strategies for middle ear therapy.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the viability and structural stability of L-PRF at 37°C over 14 days. It aims to determine its sustained growth factor release and potential effectiveness in regenerative clinical applications. This research employed a Systematic Journal Review (SJR) approach, surveying articles from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using specific keywords related to L-PRF. A total of 25 articles meeting the inclusion criteria were filtered for analysis. Furthermore, common experimental methods described in the literature include the preparation of L-PRF via blood centrifugation and viability testing over 14 days at 37°C, encompassing analysis of microscopic structure, mechanical properties, and biochemical and biological activities. Literature analysis indicates that L-PRF is an effective autologous biomaterial for regenerative applications, capable of continuously releasing growth factors such as PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and IGF for up to 14 days at body temperature. Cell viability within the fibrin matrix is maintained, positioning L-PRF as a promising active biological scaffold for accelerating tissue healing. Although challenges such as matrix degradation persist, modification strategies and optimized centrifugation protocols can enhance the effectiveness and durability of L-PRF in clinical applications.
