Abstract

Skin wounds, whether acute or chronic, disrupt the integrity of the largest organ in the human body. The healing process involves intricate stages, with collagen playing a crucial role. Microneedling therapies, such as dermapen, stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. This study investigated the effect of butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea) extract cream on collagen production during the healing of dermapen-induced wounds in obese Wistar rats. Dermapen treatment, a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, induces controlled skin punctures to stimulate collagen production. However, obesity can impair wound healing. This study aimed to determine if butterfly pea extract, rich in antioxidants, could enhance collagen synthesis and accelerate wound closure in obese rats. The results demonstrated that all treatment groups with butterfly pea extract cream exhibited significantly faster wound healing compared to the control group. Histopathological analysis revealed denser collagen deposition in the treatment groups, particularly those treated with 7% and 10% extract cream. These findings suggest that butterfly pea extract cream may have therapeutic potential in promoting efficient wound healing, particularly in obese individuals, by enhancing collagen production and accelerating the recovery process.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. This study aimed to analyze the effect of physical exercise on blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 DM at the Medan Johor Public Health Center. This analytical observational study utilized a case-control design and involved 34 respondents, divided into a case group (with uncontrolled blood glucose levels) and a control group (with controlled blood glucose levels). Data on physical activity, including frequency, duration, and intensity of exercise, were obtained through interviews using the GPAQ questionnaire, while blood glucose level data were sourced from medical records. The results showed a significant relationship between physical activity (p=0.028), frequency of physical exercise (p=0.006), duration of physical exercise (p=0.015), and intensity of physical exercise (p=0.034) with blood glucose levels. Physical exercise performed at least three times a week, for a minimum duration of 30 minutes per session, and at an appropriate intensity proved effective in controlling blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 DM. This study emphasizes the importance of incorporating physical exercise into the management plan for Type 2 DM.

Abstract

Background: Unsafe actions are a primary contributor to occupational accidents in industrial environments, yet the influence of worker-specific factors like knowledge and attitude requires continuous investigation. This study aimed to determine the association between Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) knowledge, attitude, and the prevalence of unsafe actions among lathe machine operators. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 33 lathe machine operators at CV. Melpura Jaya Teknik. Data on demographic characteristics, OSH knowledge, OSH attitude, and unsafe actions were collected using a structured questionnaire. The relationships between variables were analyzed using the Chi-Square test, with the significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: The analysis revealed a highly significant association between OSH knowledge and unsafe actions (p < .001), as well as a significant association between OSH attitude and unsafe actions (p = .031). Notably, all participants with poor knowledge (100%) or an unsupportive attitude (100%) were found to engage in high-risk unsafe actions. Conversely, all workers with good knowledge or a supportive attitude were classified in the low-risk category. Conclusion: OSH knowledge and attitude are critical determinants of safe behavior among lathe machine operators. Deficiencies in these areas are strongly correlated with high-risk actions. Therefore, workplace safety interventions should adopt a dual approach, focusing not only on comprehensive knowledge-based training but also on fostering a positive safety culture to shape supportive attitudes.
