Abstract

Background Recurrent Bell’s palsy is a rare condition that can affect the ipsilateral or contralateral to the affected side of the primary attack. There is still no consensus on treatment guidelines for recurrent Bell’s palsy. Therefore, we report a case of idiopathic recurrent contralateral facial palsy treated with autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation. Case Presentation A 72-year-old man presented with the sudden onset of right facial weakness, which was contralateral to the affected side of the first episode of facial palsy. The weakness had progressed with difficulty in closing the right eye, drooling the water from the right side of the mouth, and chewing impairment which was consistent with House Brackmann grade IV or moderately severe facial nerve grading system. He had exposure to cold stimulation, and a history of hypertension. He was given G-CSF 10 ug/kg/day for 5 days to mobilize stem cells, followed by apheresis on the 5th day. He did not receive acupuncture treatment. He had a complete recovery in 3 weeks with House Brackmann grade I or normal function of facial nerve. Conclusion Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation had a beneficial effect on the complete recovery of this recurrent Bell’s palsy and provides a treatment strategy in patients with unilateral facial palsy.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of Celery leaf extract (Apium graveolens L.) on hyperpigmented Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus sp.) induced by Azidothymidine (AZT). Celery leaves are known to contain bioactive compounds which may serve as potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents. About 30 male Wistar rats were divided into five groups, including a positive control, a negative control, and groups treated with various doses (1%, 3% and 5%) of celery leaf extract. The study examined inflammation indicators such as MDA, TNF-α, and IL-6. Celery leaf extract significantly (P<0.001) reduced MDA, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels in rats, demonstrating its capacity to attenuate inflammation and oxidative stress produced by AZT. With the increase in celery leaf extract concentration from 1% to 5%, MDA, IL-6 and TNF-α levels decreased from 42.083 ± 3.49 to 28.277 ± 10.27 nmol/ml, 14.588 ± 3.38 to 4.539 ± 1.40 nmol/ml and 667.614 ± 143.41 to 326.920 ± 62.72 nmol/ml respectively. Histopathological examinations demonstrated improvements in skin tissues damaged by inflammation. The results indicate that an ethanol extract of celery leaves has the potential to be an efficient anti-inflammatory drug, notably in lowering AZT-induced inflammation and hyperpigmentation. Further research is required to explore its clinical applicability in controlling inflammatory diseases in human.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of ethanolic extract form Celery leaves (Apium graveolens L.) on hyperpigmented Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus sp.) induced by Azidothymidine (AZT).

About 30 male Wistar rats were divided into five groups, including a positive control, a negative control, and groups treated with various doses (1%, 3% and 5%) of celery leaf extract.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) sufferers in the world and even inIndonesia are expected to continue to increase, especially type 2 DM(DMT2). DMT2 often occurs in people who are obese, the cause of obesityis often consuming foods that contain a lot of fat. Hyperlipidemia plays arole in the pathogenesis of pancreatic β-cell dysfunction.Research method: This study is an experimental laboratory study with apretest-posttest only controlled group design, using male white rats(Rattus norvegicus) with a sample size of 30 divided into 6 groups, namelythe normal group, the negative control group, the positive control group,the group given a high fatty diet (HFD). The independent variable is HFD,while the dependent variable is blood sugar levels. Data were analyzedusing the Anova test.Results: Giving HFD of 4 ml/day for 4 weeks has not been able to increaseKGD to hyperglycemic, this is thought to be because the HFD was notgiven for long enough so that insulin resistance had not occurred in thetest animals.Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that givingHFD for 4 weeks still could not increase KGD in male white mice tobecome hyperglycemic
