Abstract

Background: Wounds are skin disorders in the form of damage to continuity due to a pathological process, if not treated properly it can cause serious complications such as failure to heal and chronic problems due to untreated wound infections, especially post-operative infections and scar tissue. The next problem is that excessive antibiotics can cause side effects and increase the risk of antimicrobial resistance and delay wound healing. So a new strategy is needed with herbal-based therapy that has the effect of treating infections and does not cause side effects in patients. Subjects and Method: The research was conducted with a post test only randomized control group design to test macroscopic observations of the average size of the wound length, hyperemia and swelling in 30 white Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) after receiving ethanol extract of rosella petals (Hibiscus sabdarifa L.). The dependent variables of the study were wound closure time, hyperemia and wound swelling. The independent variable of the research was varying doses of ethanol extract of rosella flower petals (Hibiscus sabdarifa L.) 6%, 12% and 15%. The parameters assessed are the length of the wound and the macroscopic assessment of the wound. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Administration of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. 6%, 12% and 15% ethanol extract gel on the 12th day resulted in a significant acceleration of the wound healing process (p=0.024). There was a significant difference between negative control (Mean=3,281 mm ; SD=1,681 mm), positive control (Mean=2,813 mm ; SD=1,106 mm), 6% Rosella flower petal extract gel (Mean=2,916 mm ; SD=1,224 mm ), 12% (Mean=1,290 mm ; SD=1,098 mm), and 15% (Mean=1,035 mm ; SD=0.952 mm) (p=0.024), in the macroscopic assessment there was no significant difference in the wound healing process on day 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 except for signs of swelling on days 6 (p=0.038) and 9 (p=0.038) which had a significant difference compared to controls. Conclusion: Administration of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. 15% ethanol extract gel had the fastest time in wound closure and healing (Mean=1.035 mm ; SD=0.952 mm) for 12 days (p=0.024), the longest time in wound closure and healing was the negative control (gel placebo) (Mean=0.976 mm ; SD=1.103 mm) namely for 15 days (p=0.158).

Abstract

Background:  Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the most common health problems experienced by people around the world. WHO ARIA defines allergic rhinitis as a disorder of the nose accompanied by symptoms of sneezing, runny nose, itching, and nasal congestion e after the nasal mucosa is exposed to allergens mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE). Many studies have proven the impact of acupuncture on the immune system. This study aims to examine and estimate the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy for allergic rhinitis patients based on the results of previous similar studies. Subject and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis, with PICO as the following Population: allergic rhinitis patients. Intervention: acupuncture therapy. Comparison: sham/placebo acupuncture. Outcome: quality of life. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases including Google Scholar, MEDLINE/PubMed, Science Direct, Hindawi, Europe PMC and Springer Link. These articles were collected for 1 month. The keywords to search for articles are as follows: "acupuncture for allergic rhinitis" OR "acupuncture for seasonal allergic rhinitis" OR "acupuncture for parenial allergic rhinitis" AND "quality of life" AND “randomized controlled trial". The article included in this study were a full text article with a randomized controlled trial  (RCT)  study design. Quality of life was measured using the Rhinitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ). Meta analysis was written using PRISMA flow diagram and analyzed using Review Manager 5.4. Result:  A total of 9 RCT articles with a sample size of 2542 from Germany, Queensland, Victoria, China, and Korea were reviewed in this meta-analysis study. The results of data processing using the RevMan 5.4 application showed the effect of acupuncture therapy on the quality of life of allergic rhinitis patients. Acupuncture was able to lower RQLQ scores (improve quality of life), although it was not statistically significant. Allergic rhinitis patients who obtained acupuncture on average had a quality of life with an RQLQ score of 0.17 units, it was better than those getting sham acupuncture (SMD = -0.17; CI 95% = -0.40 to 0.05; p = 0.120). Conclusion:  There is an effect of acupuncture on the quality of life of allergic rhinitis patients.   Keywords: acupuncture, allergic rhinitis, quality of life, randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Background: Herniated Nucleus Pulposus Cervicalis (HNPC) is a medical condition characte­rized by the posterior or posterolateral protrusion of the intervertebral disc, resulting from the degeneration of the fibrous annulus. This protrusion exerts pressure on the nerve roots and spinal cord, leading to the development of neurological disorders. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of manual therapy in alleviating neck pain among patients diagnosed with cervical herniated nucleus pulposus. Subjects and Method: A randomized controlled trial was carried out at JIH Hospital in Yogyakarta from August to September 2023. Fourteen patients diagnosed with cervical herniated nucleus pulposus (HNPC) were purposively sampled for the study. Seven patients underwent manual therapy as an intervention, while the remaining seven received standard treatment as the control group. The dependent variable assessed was neck pain, measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The independent variable was orthopedic manual physical therapy. The differences in neck pain scores between the two groups were analyzed using an independent t-test. Results: Following the intervention, the pain score in the intervention group (Mean 2.43; SD= 1.13) exhibited a significant reduction compared to the control group (Mean= 4.86; SD= 0.90), with a p-value of 0.001. Conclusion: Orthopedic manual therapy effectively alleviates neck pain in individuals with cervical herniated nucleus pulposus.
