Abstract

This scoping review explores the roles of interleukin 1β, fibroblast growth factor, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, granulation tissue, and collagen density in the wound healing process, focusing on inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling phases. A systematic literature search identified studies investigating molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in wound repair. Findings reveal that fibroblast-derived exosomes carrying miR-93-5p inhibit autophagy, delaying diabetic wound healing. Controlled growth factor delivery enhances angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation, and collagen deposition, accelerating tissue regeneration. SPRR1B+ keratinocytes facilitate rapid re-epithelialization, while granulation tissue provides essential scaffolding for cell migration and neovascularization. Elevated IL-1β impairs healing by increasing matrix metalloproteinases, degrading collagen. Natural compounds like red fruit oil and Binahong leaf extract promote angiogenesis and collagen synthesis. Genetic variations in inflammatory cytokines influence healing outcomes, indicating potential for personalized therapies. This review consolidates current evidence, providing insights into cellular and molecular interactions critical for effective wound repair and guiding future regenerative medicine strategies.

Abstract

Semangka (Citrullus lanatus) merupakan buah tropis yang banyak dibudidayakan dan dikonsumsi di Indonesia. Namun, konsumsi masyarakat umumnya terbatas pada bagian daging buah, sedangkan mesokarp (lapisan putih antara kulit dan daging buah) sering kali dibuang sebagai limbah. Kondisi ini turut menyumbang peningkatan limbah organik dari sektor hortikultura yang belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Selain itu, mesokarp semangka diketahui mengandung senyawa bioaktif seperti flavonoid, fenolik, dan alkaloid yang memiliki aktivitas antioksidan, antiinflamasi, dan antidiabetik. Meskipun potensinya telah banyak dilaporkan, namun pemanfaatannya secara optimal dalam pengembangan agen terapi alami masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi kandungan senyawa bioaktif dari ekstrak etanol mesokarp semangka dengan dua konsentrasi pelarut berbeda, yaitu etanol 70% dan etanol 96%, menggunakan metode maserasi. Desain penelitian yang digunakan berupa eksperimental laboratorik. Simplisia mesokarp semangka diekstraksi, kemudian dianalisis kadar total flavonoid, fenolik, dan alkaloid menggunakan metode spektrofotometri UV-Vis. Hasil menunjukkan rendemen pada etanol 70% sebesar 51.7%, lebih tinggi dibandingkan etanol 96% sebesar 44.65%. Kandungan flavonoid dan alkaloid lebih tinggi ditemukan pada ekstrak etanol 70% (masing-masing 4,01% dan 1438,03 µg/g), sementara kandungan fenolik lebih tinggi ditemukan pada etanol 96% (5,92%). Penelitian ini mengindikasikan bahwa pemilihan konsentrasi pelarut yang tepat sangat menentukan keberhasilan ekstraksi senyawa bioaktif dari mesokarp semangka, sehingga berpotensi dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan dasar dalam pengembangan agen antioksidan alami.

Abstract

One-third of the Indonesian population uses herbs for alternative medicine empirically. One of them is Kapulaga (Amomum cardamomum) which known as a spice and traditionally used for the treatment of rheumatic, fever, cough, sore throat, and mouth odor. The clinical use of herbs must be supported by scientific evidenced-based and its safety profile. The risk of exposure to a substance in humans can be identified through the toxicity tests on animals. The liver histopathological structure is one of the parameters of the acute toxicity test. This study to determine the acute toxicity of Kapulaga seeds extract (Amomum cardamomum) based on the liver histopathological structure of Wistar rats. The sample selection based on inclusion and exclusion criteria in the OECD 420 guideline. The research consisted of a preliminary and the main test. One rat was used in the preliminary test with an initial dose of cardamom seed extract 300 mg/kg BW and followed by a maximum dose of 2000 mg/kg BW after 48 hours. The main test used 10 rats that were randomly divided into control and treatment groups. Based on the result of the preliminary test, the treatment group was given a single dose of cardamom seed extract 2000mg /kg BW, whilst the control group was given distilled water. Observations of any toxic signs or dead were conducted every 30 minutes in the first 4 hours and continued once per day until 14thday. Assessment of the degree of liver damage was done using the liver damaged scoring and compared using the Mann Whitney test (α = 0.05). The average liver damage score of control and treatment groups is 0.96 ± 0,856 and 0.96 ± 0,604, respectively, and did not show any statistically significant differences (p>0,05). Kapulagaseeds (Amomum cardamomum) had no acute toxic effect based on the liver histopathological structure of Wistar rats.

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

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

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.

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.
