Abstract

Skin hydration has an important role in various diseases of the elderly. Skin hydration is determined by two factors, namely the ability of the stratum corneum (SC) to retain water due to natural moisturizing factors and the barrier function of the intercellular lipid lamellar structure and tight junctions. Several parameters are usually used for skin hydration, such as surface water content (SWC) and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). With age, several changes in the skin affect hydration, including changes in the cellular and intercellular lipid matrix, skin pH, SC protease enzymes, decreased sebaceous and sweat gland activity, and decreased estrogen levels in women. Therefore, a moisturizer is needed to minimize the unwanted effects of some of these changes. Selection of the type of moisturizer is very important for the elderly, especially moisturizers with antiseptic, antibacterial, and antioxidant effects are highly recommended. The ability of essential oils as components of moisturizers has been proven in various studies. Essential oils can improve the function of the epidermal barrier and help prevent transepidermal water loss. Therefore, this literature review discusses the role of various essential oils, namely green tea oils (Camellia sinensis or Camellia assamica), virgin coconut oils (Cocos nucifera L.), evening primrose oils (Oenothera paradoxa), grape seed oils (Vitis vinifera L.) .), rosemary oils (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), immortelle oils (Helichrysum italicum), and cannabis seeds oils (Cannabis sativa L.) on improving skin hydration in the elderly.

Abstract

Fibroblasts that produce excess collagen and growth factors play a role in the pathogenesis of keloid formation. In general, keloids are treated with intralesional corticosteroids alone or with a combination of other modalities, but the recurrence rate is still relatively high, so alternative treatments such as stem cells are being investigated, one of which is Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC), which have proven to be useful in healing keloids. Therefore, this literature review aims to discuss the effects of stem cell therapy in the treatment of keloids. In this literature review, 36 journals were used that discussed stem cell therapy in the treatment of keloids taken from various journal sources, namely Google Scholar, Pubmed, Medline, Ebsco, Hindawi, and Cochrane which were published within the last 10 years. According to the source, MSC is divided into 2 types, namely Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AMSC) and Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BMMSC). In several studies, AMSC is known to reduce the expression of TGF-β1, COL-1, and COL-2 proteins, and has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts in keloid patients. Whereas in the BMMSC study that was applied with Hydroxybutyl chitosan (HBC) and Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) hydrogels for 7 days, it was shown to significantly reduce nodular collagen fibers (p<0.05). Keloids occur due to excessive production of collagen and are influenced by various factors such as age, gender, skin color, and genetics. Stem cell therapy, such as MSC, has been proven in various studies to be an alternative treatment for keloids

Abstract

In order to improve the effectiveness of cutaneous wound healing, various efforts have been made. Multiresistant bacteria are one of the challenges of wound healing treatment. Herbal essential oil is one of the alternatives that can be used, because of its broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects. The purpose of this literature review is to discuss in more depth the role of herbal essential oils in wound healing. Articles were retrieved from several databases such as Google Scholar, Sciencedirect, Cochrane, and Pubmed. Articles were searched using predetermined keywords, which were then screened from 2014-2024, resulting in 11 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The herbal essential oils discussed, namely immortelle essential oil, lavender essential oil, tea tree essential oil, chamomile essential oil, calendula essential oil, and castor essential oil, have been shown to be significantly beneficial in wound healing in studies on mice. The herbal essential oils are expected to be an alternative treatment in wound healing, especially in humans.
