Abstract

Rhaphidophora pinnata, a plant traditionally recognized for its wound-healing properties, contains active compounds such as megastigmane glycosides and damascenone, known for their anti-inflammatory effects. To enhance efficacy and user comfort, this study focused on developing an R. pinnata leaf extract nanoparticle gel. Previous research from our group highlighted the significant wound-healing potential of a conventional R. pinnata gel. This present study aimed to evaluate the wound-healing efficacy of a novel R. pinnata nanoparticle gel in male Wistar rats, specifically investigating the impact of nanotechnology application. Nanoparticles were successfully formulated via the ionic gelation method, utilizing 0.250 g of R. pinnata extract, 0.1% chitosan, 0.2% sodium tripolyphosphate, and 0.5% Tween 80. Characterization revealed an average nanoparticle size of 165.70±42.76 nm with a zeta potential of 22.0±1.83 mV. The wound-healing efficacy was assessed across five treatment groups: a positive control (Bioplasenton®), a plain gel base (Formula 0), and nanoparticle gels at 0.5% (Formula I), 1% (Formula II), and 1.5% (Formula III) extract concentrations. Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA (p <0.05) demonstrated a significant difference in incision wound healing across the groups. Formula III, containing 1.5% R. pinnata nanoparticle extract, exhibited the most superior wound-healing effect, achieving 100% inhibition by day 14, elevated hydroxyproline levels (59 µg/mL), and histologically confirmed excellent skin tissue repair. Formulas II and I followed in efficacy. These compelling findings underscore the significant potential of utilizing nanotechnology in the development of topical preparations for accelerated and effective wound healing.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: The pathogenesis of tension-type headache (TTH) is unclear; however, studies report a correlation between lowered pain thresholds at myofascial trigger points (MTrP) as a cause of cervical spasm, that can develop further into TTH. The MTrP pain threshold among TTH patients in the city of Jambi has never been described. Method: Adult patients diagnosed with TTH in Jambi city are measured for their pain thresholds at the muscles of four known MTrPs: the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, temporalis, and sub-occipital muscles. Results are then analyzed. Results: Fifty-three subjects were obtained (53 female, 18 male) with the largest age group between 26-40 years old, and most frequent profession to be government worker and housewife. Based on the average pain thresholds of the four MTrPs, the lowest to highest average measurements are on the temporalis muscle (1.93 kg/cm2), m. sternocleidomastoid (2.48 kg/cm2), m. sub-occipital (2.50 kg/cm2) dan trapezius (2.63 kg/cm2). Conclusion: MTrP pain threshold measurements can be considered as a routine examination among TTH patients, as MTrP plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of TTH and potentially as a target of multimodal therapy. Keywords: tension-type headache, myofascial trigger points, pain threshold ABSTRAK Latar belakang: Patogenesis dari tension-type headache (TTH) belum diketahui secara jelas, namun laporan dari beberapa studi menunjukkan bahwa rendahnya ambang nyeri pada beberapa trigger point di otot-otot servikal memiliki korelasi dengan TTH. Nilai ambang nyeri pada trigger point di antara pasien-pasien (TTH) di kota Jambi belum pernah digambarkan. Metode: Pasien-pasien dewasa dengan diagnosis (TTH) di rumah sakit di kota Jambi menjalani pengukuran ambang nyeri dengan algometer pada myofascial trigger point (MTrP) di beberapa titik, yaitu musculus trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, temporalis, dan sub-occipitalis bilateral. Hasil pengukuran kemudian dianalisis. Hasil: Subyek yang didapat yaitu sebanyak 53 pasien (35 perempuan, 18 laki-laki), dengan golongan usai terbanyak yaitu 26-40 tahun. Pekerjaan yang terbanyak yaitu pegawai negeri sipil dan ibu rumah tangga. Dari keempat MTrP, rata-rata ambang nyeri yang terendah hingga tertinggi yaitu m. temporalis (1.93 kg/cm2), m. sternocleidomastoid (2.48 kg/cm2), m. sub-occipital (2.50 kg/cm2) dan m. trapezius (2.63 kg/cm2). Kesimpulan: Pengukuran ambang nyeri pada MTrP dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai suatu pemeriksaan rutin pada pasien dengan TTH, agar dapat dipertimbangkan perannya dalam patogenesis TTH dan sebagai target dalam terapi multimodal.
