Abstract

There are many studies analyzing the flavonoid content based on the total flavonoid content (TFC) of wungu leaves through the extraction process with different extraction solvents. So, this review using literature review methodology is aimed to find out the type of extraction solvent that has the most optimum condition based on the highest TFC. The databases for collecting data involved PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Temporary, the results based on some previous studies vary greatly. Two of four selected articles showed that the highest TFC was found in semi-polar solvents; ethyl acetate and acetone. It is suspected that the samples contain more aglycones (a subtype of flavonoids) that can be soluble in semi-polar solvents. Whereas, the two others showed that the nonpolar solvent (hexane) had the highest TFC. It is suspected that the samples contain more subtypes of flavonoids called isoflavones, flavanones, flavones, and flavonols that can be soluble in nonpolar solvents. To get the appropriate and best standardized extract of wungu leaves, re-examination of this optimization based on the highest TFC in further research is necessary by using different extraction solvents that are equally polar like water, methanol, and ethanol; because the flavonoids as secondary metabolites in plants are basically polar.

Abstract

Head injuries hold the third position among all injury categories in Indonesia, with the highest number of cases occurring in children. Approximately 2% of all head injury cases are epidural hematomas (EDH). The majority of these epidural hematoma cases are caused by head trauma such as accidents, falls, collisions, or other physical assaults leading to traumatic mechanisms. Additionally, EDH can also be caused by non-traumatic processes such as infection/abscess, vascular malformations, tumors, and coagulopathy disorders. Epidural hematoma has a relatively favorable prognosis, yet there are several factors that contribute to a worsened prognosis. This study aims to examine of several research articles outlining the factors contributing to mortality in pediatric EDH cases. The method used is a literature review technique utilizing scholarly databases meeting specific inclusion criteria. The study found that the preoperative GCS, preoperative treatment time interval, operative treatment, and pupillary abnormalities are some of the factors that can impact patient outcomes, including mortality rates, in pediatric EDH cases. Subsequent research is expected to delve deeper on the outcomes of patients undergoing surgical and conservative interventions to address mortality incidents in pediatric EDH.

Abstract

Female stroke patients with hemiplegia will experience difficulties to not be able to use bras independently are due to weakness in the upper extremities. Meanwhile, the use of bras is very important for women because bras have a major function in maintaining breast shape by lifting the breasts. Therefore, this study aims to review developing adaptive bra design for woman with hemiplegia. The method of this study was a literature review. After screening stages, two studies are included in this review. Adaptive bra design for woman with hemiplegia is the development of a bra with modifications of material, design, and additional features, especially in the fasteners section by paying attention to good and comfortable materials for users. Some additional features can also be used either to monitor the physiological body of the user or in order to assist the use of the bra. A good adaptive bra design is a design that can help wear and remove the bra with one hand while still paying attention to comfort and aesthetic value.

Abstract

Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griff or daun ungu is a common medical plant in Indonesia that possesses many promising medical properties, including anti-inflammation. This review aims to discuss the anti-inflammatory effects of Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griff extract in preclinical hind-paw edema animal models. Through literature search and analyze based on keywords, PICO, inclusion, and exclusion criteria, a total of four studies were included in this review. As a result, ethanol extract of Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griff shows anti-inflammatory effects significantly reducing the volume of edema and having high anti-inflammatory power by inhibition of the arachidonic inflammatory pathway. Therefore, these preclinical test studies confirmed the anti-inflammatory effects of Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griff. However, further studies and human trials are required to confirm the efficacy and develop a  standardized formula for Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griff.

Abstract

Ischemic stroke research often relies on animal models to understand the pathological processes underlying brain injury. Among the most widely used models are permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) and transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO), both of which simulate ischemic events in the brain. However, while existing studies have compared the effects of pMCAO and tMCAO on infarct volumes, many have been limited by short observation periods (e.g., 4 hours) or have focused only on non-occlusion models. This literature review aims to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of these two models in generating infarct sizes, specifically utilizing triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining to measure infarct volumes. Our analysis highlights the variability in infarct volumes between the two models and emphasizes further research incorporating longer observation intervals (e.g., 6, 18, and 24 hours). This gap in research is crucial for refining experimental stroke models and improving the clinical relevance of findings, particularly regarding therapeutic strategies for ischemic stroke. The review also suggests potential research pathways to enhance model standardization and consistency in future studies, aiming for more accurate and reproducible results that will inform the development of effective stroke treatments.

Abstract

Transcardial perfusion is a crucial technique in rodent research for tissue fixation and preservation. The process typically involves flushing the vascular system with saline to remove blood, followed by fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) or formalin. However, differences in species, procedural techniques, and fluid volumes can influence perfusion efficiency and tissue quality. This literature review compares six transcardial perfusion protocols used in mice and rats, focusing on procedural variations and fluid volume requirements. Data were collected from published protocols detailing perfusion techniques, obtaining evidence that substantial variability is observed in the protocols, including differences in anesthesia regimens, surgical approaches, perfusion techniques, fluid compositions, and fixation outcomes. Future research should focus on standardizing perfusion protocols to improve consistency in fixation quality, minimize tissue degradation, and preserve structural and molecular integrity.
