Abstract

  Background: Liver damage may be caused by various factors. SolanumnigrumL.fruit is known to contain flavonoid antioxidant which is responsible for its hepatoprotective effect. A study was conducted to determine the protective effect of Solanumnigrum L. fruit infusion (SNFI) on CCl4-induced hepatic cell damage in rats. Methods: A complete randomized experimental study was conducted on 25 male Wistar strain-white rats (Rattusnorvegicus) which were divided into five groups during the period of September– October 2012. Group I (negative control) was given standardized food and water; group II (positive control) was induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) 10% paraffin intraperitoneally by 8 mL/kg body weight on the 8th day of the study; group III, IV, V (treated) were given Solanumnigrum L. fruit infusion (SNFI) by 22.5g/100mL, 45 g/100mL and 90g/100mL concentrations for 8 days, respectively, prior to CCl4 induction. The calculation of necrotic liver cells was performed in 48 hours after induction. Data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Mann-Whitney post-hoc test. Results: The percentage of necrosis liver cells in group III, IV, and V was smaller compared to  the positive control group. The protective effect of SNFI against CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity may be related to its ability to elevate the antioxidant agent in the body. There were significant differences in necrotic between Group II and group III, IV, V which were treated with SNFI. Conclusion: Further investigation is required to characterize the active ingredients and the mechanism of SNF action to confirm the hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects.Keywords: CCl4, hepatoprotective, Solanumnigrum L.DOI: 10.15850/amj.v2n1.433

Abstract

Background: Salivary gland neoplasm is one of the rare neoplasm. The frequency of this neoplasm is lower than 2% of all type of tumors in human. Malignant salivary gland tumor comprises 6% of all head and neck tumors. Data about salivary gland carcinoma are still limited. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of malignant salivary gland based on the patients’ age, gender, site of lesion and histopathology type. Methods: This study was conducted descriptively. There were 97 subjects found from histopathological form that had been examined in Department of Anatomical Pathology, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in 2009–2012. Total sampling technique was used and all data about patients’ age, gender, site of lesion and histopathology type were collected and analyzed.Results: Of 97 cases, age group 50–59 years old had the highest frequency (29%). The prevalence in male was more frequent than female with male:female ratio was 1.4:1. The most common site of carcinoma was found in parotid gland (45%). Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common histopathology type found in this study (28%).Conclusions: Salivary gland carcinoma is still a rare malignant case in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Carcinoma in parotid gland was the most common site and mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common histopathology type. [AMJ.2016;3(1):54–8]DOI: 10.15850/amj.v3n1.696

Abstract

Background: Tobacco smoke contains a combination of chemicals that could be harmful to the buccal mucosa as the first part of the body that has been exposed. Damage to the buccal epithelial cells has the potential to become a malignant lesion. This study aimed to describe changes in the nuclear epithelial of the buccal mucosa using Pappaniculou staining as an indicator of mucosal damage in smokers.Methods: This was a descriptive analytical study, involving adult male participants from Bale Endah District, Bandung Regency, Indonesia aged >35 years, who had smoked for ≥10 years. Buccal mucosa smear was taken, and the features of nuclear epithelial changes were observed per 500 cells, each at 400x magnification with Pappaniculou stain to evaluate the features of micronucleus, broken egg, karyorrhexis, karyolysis. Those who did not smoke were recruited as a control group.Results: Smokers were mostly light active smokers or kretek cigarettes, with a smoking duration of ≥15 years. The frequency of micronucleus (p<0.001), broken eggs (p<0.001), karyorrhexis (p=0.001), karyolysis (p=0.003) in the buccal mucosal epithelial was significantly different between the smoker and non-smoker groups.Conclusions: All epithelial nuclear changes have shown significant differences between smoker and non-smoker groups. Nuclear epithelial features in smoker may be associated with future malignancies, therefore, smoking cessation programs are necessary to substantially reduce tobacco use, thus fostering a healthy lifestyle for everyone.
