Abstract

Background: Obesity has been becoming a global health problem that could cause the emergence ofmany other diseases. Several strategies are used to treat obesity, including lifestyle modifications,anti-obesity medications (pharmacotherapy), bariatric surgery, and gut microbiota transplantation.Pharmacotherapy is an effective treatment method and is often chosen by obese people because it isquite simple and does not require invasive and expensive procedures. However, long-term usage ofconventional medicines causes serious side effects. Therefore, studies about herbal medicineincreased significantly, one of them is Moringa oleifera (MO). Objectives: This review providesinformation about the pathways involved in the adipogenesis processes in obesity and how MO caninhibit adipogenesis through several pathways. Methods: Data were collected from PubMed based onthe keywords “moringa”, “obese”, “adipogenesis”, “adipocyte”, and “lipogenesis”. There were 16journals in full text that met the inclusion criteria for conducting a literature study related to thesekeywords over the last 10 years (from 2013 to 2023). Results: The anti-obesity effect of MO isthought to come from several specific compounds isolated from this plant, including quercetin,isoquercetin, quercetin-3-O-malonylglucoside, astragalin, kaempferol, isothiocyanate, EGCG, andmany others. These active compounds can be isolated from various parts of the MO plant, but themost widely used are the leaves and seeds. These compounds exert anti-obesity activity by inhibitingadipogenesis through multiple pathways, including the AMPK, PI3K/AKT, MAPK, JAK/STAT,TGF-β, and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. Conclusions: Several in vivo, in vitro, and clinical trial studieshave been conducted to demonstrate the benefits and safety of MO as a medicinal plant withpharmacological potential to inhibit adipogenesis in obesity.Keywords: moringa; adipogenesis; adipocyte; lipogenesis; obese

Abstract

Traumatic ulcer is open wound caused by injury to the oral mucosa. Fibronectin, a multifunctional glycoprotein, has been reported to play a crucial role in early wound healing by promoting fibroblast migration. Several studies have shown that Manalagi apple (Malus sylvestris Mill.) contains bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and wound healing properties. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of Manalagi apple extract gel on fibronectin expression in traumatic ulcer healing. This was a laboratory experimental study with a post-test only control group design. A total of 10 rats (Rattus norvegicus) were randomly divided into a placebo gel control group and a treatment group receiving 10% Manalagi apple extract gel. Fibronectin expression was then evaluated using immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, and analyzed with the Mann–Whitney test. The results showed a significant difference in fibronectin expression between the treatment and control groups (p = 0.007). The application of 10% Manalagi apple extract gel significantly increased fibronectin expression during traumatic ulcer healing.

Abstract

Background: Impaction of the maxillary canine and mandibular second premolar ranks among the most common dental impactions after third molars. However, the simultaneous occurrence of both in a single patient is relatively rare.Objective: To present the clinical management of concomitant impacted maxillary canine and mandibular second premolar using a combined surgical approach, emphasizing the importance of appropriate surgical intervention in facilitating subsequent orthodontic alignment.Case: A 19-year-old female presented with irregularly aligned teeth and sought orthodontic treatment. Examination revealed anterior crossbite, ectopic maxillary canine, multiple caries, retained root of tooth 75, persistence of tooth 53, and missing tooth 35. Radiographs confirmed impaction of tooth 13 and tooth 35, with the canine positioned palatally. A multidisciplinary pre-orthodontic treatment plan included extraction of tooth 35 due to space deficiency and surgical exposure of tooth 13 following removal of tooth 53. Procedures were performed under local anesthesia with appropriate pharmacological management.Outcome: The surgical phase was completed without complications. The patient showed good postoperative recovery and compliance. Orthodontic treatment has been initiated but remain ongoing, with alignment of the impacted canine planned in subsequent stages.Conclusion: Pre-orthodontic surgical management in essential for facilitating orthodontic outcomes. Careful planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and staged treatment are critical, particularly in rare combined impaction cases
