Abstract

Invasion is a characteristic of the occurrence of cancer and indicates the cancer cells capability to destroy and degrade the border between the epithet and basal membrane to further spread into the surrounding extra-cellular matrix. The purpose of this research was to find the existence of impediment at the SP-C1 tongue cancer cell using celecoxib chemopreventive medication. The SP-C1 tongue cancer cells were treated in vitro using celecoxib medication as a research subject at the following concentrations 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125%; and 0 as control group (only DMEM growth medium treatment). Pure experimental testing was carried out for 24 and 48 hours, with observation and calculation of an average number of SP-C1 tongue cancer cells. The data collected were analyzed using the ANOVA test with Newman Keuls paired range test or t-test. Research results indicated that the average number of SP-C1 tongue cancer cells invasion after administration of celecoxib medication based on administration concentration and time statistically yielded significant results. The ANOVA test results were statistically significant, that is, average occurrence of the number of SP-C1 tongue cancer cells due to the use of celecoxib at certain concentrations compared to that without celecoxib was different. At celecoxib of zero (control) concentration was 24.4 with celecoxib concentration starting at 5 up to 125% experienced a decline from its average 11 to become 2.3. The conclusion of the research was that the greater the celecoxib concentration administered, the greater the effect on the impediment of SP-C1 tongue cancer cell invasion.

Abstract

Oral mucositis is a common complication of chemotherapy that significantly impacts quality of life and may reduce treatment efficacy. While oral cryotherapy has been widely studied as a preventive intervention due to its cost-effectiveness, safety, and ease of use, most research focused on clinical outcomes without incorporating objective cytological assessments of mucosal changes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of oral cryotherapy in managing chemotherapy-induced mucositis using exfoliative cytology to monitor oral mucosal changes. A single-blinded, randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 50 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, who were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The control group (n=25) received standard oral hygiene care, while the intervention group (n=25) received oral cryotherapy in addition to routine oral hygiene. A 20-minute oral cryotherapy was administered twice daily after breakfast (09:00 A.M.) and lunch (01:00 P.M.) for 14 days. This study found a significant reduction in mucositis scores was observed in both groups (p<0.05). However, post-hoc analysis indicated that mucositis severity declined earlier in the cryotherapy group, whereas improvement in the control group was noted only after 14 days. Serial oral mucosal smears analyzed via exfoliative cytology revealed a reduction in inflammatory cells and the absence of coccus microorganisms by days 7 and 14 in the intervention group. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that oral cryotherapy effectively reduces the severity and duration of mucositis and accelerates recovery in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Oral cryotherapy can be applied as a viable alternative to mitigate the severity of oral mucositis in this patient population.

Abstract

Salah satu dampak perkawinan anak adalah permasalahan kesehatan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memeriksa keterkaitan permasalahan fertilitas, mortalitas, dan kesehatan reproduksi dari perempuan yang menikah pada usia anak-anak. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan analisis deksriptif. Data yang digunakan berasal dari Badan Pusat Statistik hasil Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional pada bulan Maret 2017. Merujuk pada metadata indikator perkawinan anak SDGs, maka unit penelitian pada artikel ini adalah perempuan berumur 20-24 tahun yang menikah. Terdapat 899 unit penelitian yang kemudian diperiksa terkait indikator fertilitas, mortalitas, dan kesehatan reproduksi. Hasil penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa pada aspek fertilitas, perempuan berumur 20-24 tahun yang menikah sebelum umur 18 tahun memiliki peluang 8 kali lipat dalam melahirkan 3 atau lebih anak lahir hidup dibandingkan mereka yang menikah di usia dewasa. Pada umur melahirkan pertama didominasi pada kelompok umur 15-19 tahun yang merupakan kelompok umur dengan peluang yang tinggi pada kematian ibu. Terdapat sekitar 18 persen bayi yang lahir dengan berat badan lahir rendah dilahirkan dari perempuan yang menikah di usia anak. Pada aspek kesehatan reproduksi, masih terdapat 26,3 persen dari perempuan yang menikah sebelum umur 18 tahun tidak menggunakan alat KB. Kesimpulan yang didapatkan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa perkawinan anak dapat meningkatkan resiko terhadap permasalahan fertilitas, mortalitas, dan kesehatan reproduksi.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal disease in communities exposed to environmental heavy metals represents not only a biological problem but also a public health challenge closely linked to limitations in health literacy. While the pathogenic role of Porphyromonas gingivalis and the toxic effects of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, and Hg contribute to inflammation and periodontal tissue damage, insufficient health literacy constrains individuals’ capacity to recognize risks, adopt preventive behaviors, and engage in effective disease prevention strategies. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the PEOS framework, with article searches in PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, and Google Scholar. Of the 512 articles identified, 20 met the inclusion criteria (2015–2023) and were analyzed through data charting and quality assessment. Results: Heavy metals have been shown to increase the risk of periodontitis through immune suppression, oxidative stress, and changes in the oral microbiota. P. gingivalis enhances pathogenesis by disrupting epithelial defenses and triggering chronic inflammation. Increasing health literacy has been shown to be influential in encouraging preventative behaviors and managing environmental exposure risks. Conclusion: Strengthening health literacy is a central and unifying strategy in reducing periodontal disease risk in populations exposed to environmental heavy metals. Integrating biologically informed risk communication with community-based, literacy-sensitive health promotion interventions enhances prevention efforts against periodontal disease associated with P. gingivalis in high-risk communities
