Abstract

Kalsium merupakan unsur penting yang mengontrol berbagai aktivitas tubuh. Asupan kalsium yang tinggi, ternyata dapat meningkatkan risiko kanker prostat, khususnya meningkatkan proliferasi sel kanker prostat. Kalsium berperan sebagai regulator 1,25 dihidroksi vitamin D. Selain itu, kalsium juga berperan sebagai regulator Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), kalsium serum yang tinggi akan menurunkan PTH dalam sirkulasi sehingga konversi 25(OH) vitamin D menjadi vitamin D aktif dengan bantuan PTH juga menurun. Kedua hal ini menyebabkan penurunan regulasi 1,25 dihidroksi vitamin D, vitamin D aktif yang diduga berperan penting dalam proses karsinogenesis melalui inhibisi pertumbuhan dan proliferasi sel kanker dan metastasis. Proses ini disebabkan ketika VDR (Vitamin D Receptor) tidak berikatan dengan ligannya dapat meregulasi ekspresi gen yang berfungsi dalam memicu proliferasi, angiogenesis dan menghambat terjadinya apoptosis. Mekanisme kalsium dalam risiko terjadinya kanker prostat juga berkaitan dengan peranan CaSR (Calcium-Sensing Receptor). CaSR merupakan reseptor yang ditemukan di berbagai organ, salah satunya adalah pada kelenjar prostat. Asupan kalsium yang tinggi dapat meningkatkan peningkatan reseptor dan memacu terjadinya proliferasi sel-sel prostat. DOI : 10.35990/mk.v5n2.p195-207

Abstract

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the tooth supporting tissues caused by pathogenic microorganisms in dental plaque. P. gingivalis as the main etiology of periodontitis has a virulence factor in the form of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The use of NiTi wires in initial orthodontic treatment can exacerbate periodontitis. Robusta coffee beans contain active compounds such as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid and caffeine as anti-inflammatories and antioxidants. This study aims to analyze the ability of robusta coffee bean extract gel to reduce TRAP in a rat model of periodontitis induced by the combination of LPS P. gingivalis and NiTi wire. The 28 male wistar rats were classified into 7 groups of normal (K), injected with LPS (P1), NiTi wire (P2), combination of LPS and NiTi wire (P3), injected with LPS and 500 mg/ml robusta coffee bean gel (P4), NiTi wire and 500 mg/ml robusta coffee bean gel (P5), combination of LPS and NiTi wire with 500 mg/ml robusta coffee bean gel (P6). The rats were decapitated, and then the tissue was stained with HE and IHC. The expression of TRAP was counted in the area around alveolar bone of the lower-left M1. Data were analyzed using SPSS software by going through several test, such as Saphiro-Wilk, Levene-Test, Kruskal-Wallis, and followed by Mann-Whitney. The results of TRAP expression showed a significant decreased (p<0,05) on combination of LPS and NiTi wire with robusta coffee bean extract gel. Robusta coffee bean extract gel was able to reduce TRAP expression on periodontitis model rats induced by the combination of LPS P. gingivalis and NiTi wire.

Abstract

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the periodontal tissues caused by periodontal pathogens, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). P. gingivalis possesses several virulence factors that enable it to invade and spread through the bloodstream to other organs, including the ovaries. It triggers inflammation, which may impact the number of primordial follicles. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of P. gingivalis infection on the number of primordial follicles in the ovaries. This study was a laboratory experiment with a post-test control group design. The rats were divided into control and periodontitis groups. The periodontitis group consisted of rats induced with P. gingivalis in their sulcus gingiva of the first mandible molar every three days for 19 days. Therefore, control groups were without P. gingivalis induction. Seven days after the last induction of P. gingivalis, the rats were euthanized, and their ovarian tissues were collected for histological preparation. The primordial follicles were counted under 400x magnification. The results indicated that the treatment group had a significantly lower number of primordial follicles (2.2 ± 2.61) compared to the control group (12.4 ± 2.41). The study concludes that P. gingivalis infection led to a reduction in the number of ovarian primordial follicles in periodontitis models.

The inflammatory process begins with the release of neutrophils, which regulate and amplify the inflammatory response. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, are commonly used to treat inflammation but may cause side effects. Biduri leaf (Calotropis gigantea)extract which is rich in flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, possesses anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties with fewer side effects, making it a potential natural alternative medicine. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of biduri leaf extract (Calotropis gigantea) in reducing the number of neutrophils during acute and subacute inflammation in an experimental rat model. Methods: This study is an in vivo experimental study using a serial group design. Biduri leaves were extracted using the maceration method with 70% ethanol as the solvent. The biduri leaf extract was administered at doses of 100 mg/kg BW, 200 mg/kg BW, and 300 mg/kg BW. Wistar rats were injected subcutaneously with 2% carrageenan on the dorsal region to induce inflammation. Blood samples were collected at predetermined intervals to prepare blood smears, followed by neutrophil counting. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA followed by the LSD post-hoc test. Results: Calotropis gigantea leaf extract at doses of 100 mg/Kg BW, 200 mg/Kg BW, and 300 mg/Kg BW significantly reduced neutrophil counts, particularly on day 3, with the 300 mg/Kg BW dose showing the most pronounced effect (p=0.001). Conclusion: Administration of biduri leaf (Calotropis gigantea) extract at a dose of 300 mg/Kg BW demonstrated the highest effectiveness in reducing neutrophil count during acute and subacute inflammation in an inflammation rat model.

Abstract

Background: The increase in the elderly population leads to a decline in their health and affects the productivity and quality of life. Preventive measures must be taken to improve oral hygiene for the elderly starting from the pre-elderly group so that later it will form healthy and productive elderly. One of the efforts to improve dental hygiene and health is through mechanical tooth cleaning with a toothbrush. However, currently, there is no toothbrush design that is suitable for the condition of the pre-elderly oral cavity. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the design of the number of toothbrush bristles as initial research to obtain an appropriate toothbrush design for the elderly. Method:The study was conducted on 30 participants using a toothbrush with a number of toothbrush bristles paths: with 4 paths, 3 paths, and 2 paths. The effectiveness of tooth brushing hygiene was measured through the debris index before using a toothbrush and after brushing. Result: The results of the Kruskal Wallis test showed a significance value of 0.01 (p
