Abstract

Sucralate is an aluminum salt from sucrose octasulfate that is known for its anti-ulcer activity, mucosal protection, and anti-mucositis potential. Recently, sucralfat has been used topically for the healing of various epithelial wounds, including ulcers, inflammatory dermatitis, mucositis, and burns. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of sucralfat as a topical therapy in reducing itching (pruritus) and improving the skin barrier. The analysis method used is Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). A literature search was conducted on studies from 2004 to 2024 using keywords such as "sucralfate", "pruritus", "dermatitis", and "skin barrier" on PubMed, ProQuest, Science Direct, and Scopus databases. Inclusion criteria include topic relevance, research design, human subjects, and United Kingdom-speaking studies. Of the 141 articles found, 7 articles met the inclusion criteria. These studies involved a total of 605 subjects from different countries and used clinical trial methods and randomized controlled trials. The results showed that topical sucralfat was effective in reducing itching and improving the skin barrier in various skin conditions such as diaper dermatitis, chronic ulcers, and postoperative wounds. Sukralfat shows great potential in wound healing and skin barrier repair through the mechanism of protective layer formation, increased expression of epidermal growth factors, and anti-inflammatory properties. This effect indirectly helps reduce pruritus which often occurs due to damage to the skin barrier. Topical succulthate is effective in reducing itching and repairing the skin barrier, making it a promising therapy for a variety of inflammatory and ulcerative skin conditions.

Abstract

Background: The elderly population has been growing rapidly in recent decades. Research has shown that the prevalence of itching (pruritus) increases with age, with 20.8% of individuals aged 60-69 years experiencing it, 22.9% for those aged 70-79 years, and 26% for those aged 75 years and above. Assessing the skin's barrier function by measuring transepidermal water loss (TEWL) using a tool called a Tewameter is important for objectively evaluating dry skin, which is the most common cause of itching in the elderly. It's important to understand how itching affects the quality of life of the elderly, particularly in nursing homes. Objective: This study aims to determine how itching affects the quality of life of the elderly in nursing homes in Surakarta City, especially at PMI Peduli and Aisyiyah Nursing Homes. Methods: This research used an observational, cross-sectional design. Data was collected through interviews using the 5D itch scale questionnaire, and the quality of life was measured using the DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index) questionnaire. TEWL levels were also measured using a Tewameter. Results: 29 subjects participated in the interviews, with 69% being women and 31% being men. Most subjects were aged 60-69 years (41%), and the most common comorbidity was hypertension (41%). The 5D Itch Scale questionnaire revealed that itching affected the subjects for less than 6 hours daily (66%), and during the last 2 weeks, itching did not significantly impact the subjects' activities, including sleep, hobbies, housework, and work (51%-69%). The most common location of itching was the back (14%). The DLQI data showed that itching had a severe impact on the subjects (65.5%), followed by a moderate impact (24.1%), and a very severe impact (10.3%). TEWL data indicated that all subjects had an increase of >10 g/h/m2. Conclusion: The study found that itching had a mild impact on the lives and activities of the subjects in general, lasting for less than 6 hours a day. The statistical results showed a positive and significant relationship between the intensity of itching and the quality of life of the elderly with pruritus.

Abstract

Background: The elderly population has been rapidly increasing over the past few decades. In Indonesia, the percentage of elderly residents is 8.75% of the total population. Aging is an unavoidable process, but it requires care to ensure a good quality of life for the elderly. One of the issues affecting the quality of life in the elderly is skin aging. Skin aging causes various complaints, especially itching or pruritus, which can reduce the quality of life for the elderly. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of skin diseases and skin aging, as well as the factors that affect them, particularly skin hydration, is necessary. This research is expected to be beneficial for medical professionals as well as family members of the elderly. The elderly residents at Wreda Griya PMI Peduli and Aisyiyah Nursing Home come from various regions and economic backgrounds. Therefore, the researchers consider the nursing home to be an appropriate place to conduct this study, as it can represent the elderly population from diverse backgrounds across Indonesia.Objective: This study aims to analyze the various skin disease profiles at the Griya PMI Peduli and Aisyiyah nursing homes in the city of Surakarta. Methods: This type of research is a survey using an observational study method with a descriptive design. Results: There were a total of 45 subjects at the Wreda PMI Peduli and Aisyiyah Nursing Home in Surakarta. Among them, 34 subjects had skin complaints, while 11 subjects were excluded because they did not have any skin complaints (7 subjects) or were uncooperative (4 subjects). The most common diagnosis was xerosis cutis (53%). The majority of patients did not have comorbidities (65%), with the most common comorbidity being hypertension (26%). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that all the main skin complaints among the elderly at Panti Wreda in Kota Surakarta were dominated by itching or pruritus, with xerosis cutis being the primary etiology of pruritus in the elderly subjects of the study, accounting for 53%.

Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that is often associated with various comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and psoriatic arthritis. Obesity, particularly abdominal obesity, is known to impact the effectiveness of psoriasis treatment. This study aims to explore the relationship between abdominal circumference and the incidence of psoriasis in patients at the Dermatology and Venereology Polyclinic of Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta. The objective of this research was to determine whether abdominal circumference (waist circumference) is associated with the incidence of psoriasis in patients at the Dermatology and Venereology Polyclinic. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 30 psoriasis vulgaris patients treated at the clinic from July to August 2024. Waist circumference was categorized as high or normal. Data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test and logistic regression analysis. The majority of participants (70%) had high waist circumference. Statistically, only age showed a significant relationship with psoriasis incidence (p = 0.015). Gender, BMI status, and waist circumference did not significantly correlate with psoriasis incidence (p = 0.069, p = 0.789, p = 0.284, respectively). This study suggests that waist circumference does not have a significant relationship with the incidence of psoriasis. Future research could explore other factors contributing to psoriasis exacerbation, such as metabolic syndrome or visceral adiposity.
