Background: Cholecystectomy, while a common and effective treatment for symptomatic gallstones, can induce alterations in bile flow and gut microbiota composition, potentially leading to colonic inflammation. Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) extract, rich in betalains, nitrates, and other bioactive compounds, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in various models. This systematic review evaluates the in vivo evidence for the efficacy of beetroot extract in modulating colonic inflammation following cholecystectomy. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase databases was conducted from January 2013 to May 2024, using keywords related to "beetroot," "Beta vulgaris," "cholecystectomy," "colon," "inflammation," and "in vivo." Studies investigating the effects of beetroot extract on colonic inflammation in animal models post-cholecystectomy were included. Data on inflammatory markers, histological changes, oxidative stress markers, and gut microbiota alterations were extracted. Results: Seven in vivo studies met the inclusion criteria. Beetroot extract administration was associated with significant reductions in colonic levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) in five studies. Data showed an average reduction of TNF-α by 35% (p < 0.01), IL-6 by 28% (p < 0.05), and IL-1β by 42% (p < 0.001) across these five studies. Four studies reported improvements in histological scores of colonic inflammation, indicating reduced tissue damage. Three studies demonstrated a decrease in MPO activity, a marker of neutrophil infiltration, with data showing an average reduction of 25% (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The available in vivo evidence, albeit limited, suggests that beetroot extract possesses significant potential for mitigating colonic inflammation following cholecystectomy. The observed anti-inflammatory effects are likely mediated by a combination of betalain-induced antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, nitrate-derived nitric oxide signaling, and modulation of the gut microbiota.

Background: Diabetic fracture healing is often impaired due to chronic hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and inflammation, leading to dysregulation of bone remodeling. Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) and calcium homeostasis are critical regulators of this process. Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen) extract, particularly in nanostructured form, has shown promise in modulating these pathways. This systematic review evaluates the in vivo evidence for the effects of nanostructured G. mangostana extract on RANKL signaling, calcium levels, and bone healing outcomes in diabetic fracture models. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase databases from January 2013 to May 2024. Studies were included if they utilized in vivo diabetic animal models with induced fractures, administered nanostructured G. mangostana extract, and assessed outcomes related to RANKL expression, calcium levels (serum or bone), and/or bone healing parameters (histology). Risk of bias was assessed using the SYRCLE's tool. Data were extracted and synthesized narratively. Results: Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. All studies used rodent models (rats or mice) with induced type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Nanostructured G. mangostana extract, primarily containing xanthones, was administered via various routes (oral gavage, intraperitoneal injection). The majority of studies (6 out of 7) reported a significant decrease in RANKL expression and/or an increase in the osteoprotegerin (OPG)/RANKL ratio in the fracture callus of treated animals compared to diabetic controls. Serum calcium levels were generally normalized (5 out of 7 studies) in treated groups. Furthermore, treated animals exhibited improved histological evidence of enhanced callus formation and remodeling (all 7 studies). Risk of bias varied across studies, with some limitations in blinding and allocation concealment. Conclusion: Nanostructured G. mangostana extract shows significant potential for improving fracture healing in diabetic bone by modulating RANKL signaling and calcium homeostasis. Further high-quality, pre-clinical studies are warranted to optimize dosage, delivery methods, and to fully elucidate the underlying mechanisms before clinical translation.

Background: Intestinal anastomotic healing is a complex process, often complicated by inflammation and impaired regeneration, leading to leakage and stricture. Channa striata (snakehead fish) extract, traditionally used for wound healing, possesses bioactive compounds with potential anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. This systematic review aimed to critically appraise the in vivo evidence for the effects of Channa striata extract on inflammatory and regenerative pathways in end-to-end anastomotic wound repair. Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted for studies published between 2013 and 2024. Inclusion criteria comprised in vivo studies using animal models with end-to-end intestinal anastomosis, evaluating Channa striata extract versus a control, and reporting on relevant inflammatory and regenerative markers. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment (using SYRCLE's tool) were performed. Results: Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. These studies, primarily using rat models, demonstrated that Channa striata extract significantly modulated key inflammatory and regenerative pathways. Specifically, the extract reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines, increased anti-inflammatory cytokines, enhanced growth factor expression, and promoted collagen deposition at the anastomotic site. These effects were associated with improved anastomotic bursting pressure and reduced leakage rates. Risk of bias varied across studies, with some limitations in blinding and allocation concealment. Conclusion: Channa striata extract shows promise as a therapeutic agent for promoting anastomotic healing by modulating key inflammatory and regenerative pathways. However, further high-quality, standardized studies are needed to confirm these findings, elucidate precise mechanisms, and optimize extract formulation and dosage before clinical translation.

Background: Breast cancer remains a significant health challenge, with HER2-negative subtypes representing a majority of cases. Ki-67, a marker of cell proliferation, has emerged as a potential prognostic factor in various cancers, including breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the association of Ki-67 expression and HER2-negative status with tumor characteristics, treatment response, and disease progression in breast cancer patients. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital, Semarang, Indonesia. Data from 94 patients diagnosed with breast cancer were collected, including immunohistochemical profiles, HER2 status, Ki-67 index, treatment regimens, and tumor size. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.0 for Windows. Results: The majority of patients (50%) presented with Luminal B-type breast cancer, and 77.7% had a Ki-67 index >20%. HER2-negative status was observed in 78.7% of patients. No significant correlation was found between HER2-negative status and the type of therapy given (p=0.131) or tumor size (p=0.467). Similarly, Ki-67 expression >20% did not correlate significantly with the type of therapy (p=0.070) or tumor size (p=0.156). Conclusion: While Ki-67 and HER2-negative status are recognized as important prognostic factors in breast cancer, this study did not find a significant association with treatment modalities or tumor size in the studied population. Further research with a larger sample size and longer follow-up is needed to validate these findings and explore the complex interplay of Ki-67, HER2 status, and other clinical variables in breast cancer progression.

Background: Cholecystectomy, while a common surgical procedure, significantly alters bile acid dynamics and the gut microbiome, potentially leading to an imbalance favoring opportunistic pathogens like Escherichia coli over beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus. This systematic review investigates the potential of beetroot (Beta vulgaris) extract, rich in betalains and prebiotic fibers, as a dietary intervention to mitigate these post-cholecystectomy microbial shifts. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted for studies published between 2013 and 2024. Keywords included "cholecystectomy," "gallbladder removal," "bile acids," "Escherichia coli," "Lactobacillus," "beetroot," "Beta vulgaris," "prebiotic," "gut microbiome," and related terms. Studies investigating the effects of Beta vulgaris (or its constituents) on gut microbial composition, bile acid metabolism, or relevant clinical outcomes in post-cholecystectomy contexts (human or animal models) were included. Quality assessment was performed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the ROBINS-I tool for non-randomized studies. Results: Seven studies met the inclusion criteria: three human RCTs, two animal studies (rats), and two in vitro studies. The human studies were of moderate to high risk of bias. The animal studies had a lower risk of bias but limited direct applicability to humans. The in vitro studies provided mechanistic insights but lacked the complexity of the in vivo environment. Due to the heterogeneity of study designs and outcome measures, a meta-analysis was not feasible. Beetroot extract supplementation (standardized to betalain content) was associated with a significant increase in Lactobacillus abundance (mean increase of 15%, p < 0.05) and a decrease in E. coli abundance (mean decrease of 10%, p < 0.05) in the post-cholecystectomy gut. There was also a shift in bile acid profiles, with an increase in secondary bile acids known to be less inhibitory to Lactobacillus. Conclusion: While existing evidence is limited, the theoretical basis and preliminary findings suggest that beetroot extract holds promise as a post-cholecystectomy dietary intervention to promote a healthier gut microbiome. Further high-quality, well-powered RCTs are warranted to confirm these potential benefits and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder primarily affecting bone formation, leading to increased bone fragility and fractures. OI Type III is characterized by severe clinical manifestations, including multiple fractures, skeletal deformities, and short stature. This case series describes the clinical characteristics and progression of three patients diagnosed with OI Type III, highlighting the impact of early intervention with zoledronic acid on their outcomes. Case presentation: This study presents three cases of OI Type III in female patients. Two patients (Patient A and Patient R) were diagnosed at birth with multiple fractures and received zoledronic acid treatment starting at three months of age. The third patient (Patient D) presented with fractures later in infancy and began treatment at one year of age. All patients demonstrated hallmark features of OI Type III, including blue sclerae, short stature, and progressive skeletal deformities. However, the two patients who received earlier treatment with zoledronic acid showed better mobility and fewer fractures compared to the patients who started treatment later. Conclusion: This case series emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and intervention in OI Type III. Zoledronic acid appears to be effective in reducing fracture rates and improving mobility in these patients. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these findings and optimize treatment strategies for OI Type III.

Background: Dental caries, primarily caused by Streptococcus mutans, is a prevalent oral health issue. The rise of antibiotic resistance and side effects of synthetic antimicrobials have fueled the search for plant-derived alternatives. Swietenia mahagoni (mahogany) leaves, traditionally used for medicinal purposes, exhibit potential antibacterial properties. This study investigated the phytochemical composition and in vitro antibacterial activity of S. mahagoni leaf extracts against S. mutans. Methods: S. mahagoni leaves were collected, processed, and extracted using ethanol. Phytochemical screening identified alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, and saponins. Antibacterial activity was assessed through the agar well diffusion method against S. mutans, using various extract concentrations (25%, 50%, 75%) and chlorhexidine as a positive control. Inhibition zone diameters were measured to determine antibacterial efficacy. Results: Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, and saponins in the S. mahagoni leaf extract. The extract demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against S. mutans at all concentrations. The highest concentration (75%) showed the largest inhibition zone (18.07 ± 0.37 mm), significantly larger than those of lower concentrations and the positive control (chlorhexidine, 13.87 ± 0.21 mm). Conclusion: S. mahagoni leaf extract exhibits substantial antibacterial activity against S. mutans, likely due to its diverse phytochemical content. These findings suggest its potential as a natural anti-caries agent. Further research is needed to explore its use in developing novel oral health products.

Background: Hyperglycemia impairs wound healing and exacerbates inflammation, increasing the risk of complications following intestinal anastomosis. Channa striata (snakehead fish) extract, traditionally used for wound healing, contains bioactive compounds with potential anti-inflammatory properties. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the dose-dependent effects of C. striata extract on procalcitonin (PCT), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in hyperglycemic rats undergoing end-to-end intestinal anastomosis. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases for studies published between 2013 and 2024. Inclusion criteria were: studies using hyperglycemic rat models, end-to-end intestinal anastomosis, C. striata extract administration (with varying doses), and measurement of PCT, TNF-α, and/or CRP. Data extraction included study characteristics, animal model details, C. striata extraction method and dosage, and inflammatory marker levels at various time points. Risk of bias was assessed using the SYRCLE's RoB tool. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed to estimate the standardized mean difference (SMD) in inflammatory marker levels between C. striata-treated and control groups. Dose-response relationships were explored using meta-regression. Results: Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. C. striata extract was administered via various routes (oral, intraperitoneal) and at different doses (ranging from 100 mg/kg to 1000 mg/kg). Meta-analysis revealed a significant reduction in PCT levels (SMD = -1.25, 95% CI: -1.80, -0.70; p < 0.001), TNF-α levels (SMD = -1.55, 95% CI: -2.15, -0.95; p < 0.001), and CRP levels (SMD = -1.38, 95% CI: -1.98, -0.78; p < 0.001) in C. striata-treated groups compared to controls. Meta-regression indicated a significant dose-dependent relationship for TNF-α (p = 0.02) and CRP (p = 0.04), with higher doses showing greater reductions. Risk of bias assessment revealed some concerns in most studies, primarily related to blinding and random sequence generation. Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis provides evidence that C. striata extract significantly reduces inflammatory markers (PCT, TNF-α, CRP) following intestinal anastomosis in hyperglycemic rats. A dose-dependent effect was observed for TNF-α and CRP, suggesting that higher doses may be more effective. Further high-quality studies with standardized protocols are needed to confirm these findings and determine optimal dosing regimens for clinical translation.

Background: Orthodontic retainers, especially thermoplastic retainers, are prone to Candida albicans colonization, potentially leading to oral health issues. This study investigated the effectiveness of Mangifera indica L. leaf extract in controlling C. albicans growth on orthodontic retainers and also analyzed its phytochemical constituents. Methods: M. indica leaf extract was prepared using maceration and digestion techniques. Thermoplastic retainers were contaminated with C. albicans and then immersed in different concentrations of M. indica leaf extract (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) for 15 minutes. Chlorhexidine digluconate 2% served as the positive control, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was the negative control. The antifungal activity was evaluated by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone. Phytochemical screening was conducted to identify the presence of various secondary metabolites in the extract. Results: All concentrations of M. indica leaf extract demonstrated significant antifungal activity against C. albicans. The 75% extract showed the highest inhibition zone, comparable to chlorhexidine digluconate 2%. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and other bioactive compounds in the extract. Conclusion: M. indica leaf extract, particularly at 75% concentration, effectively inhibits C. albicans growth on orthodontic retainers, suggesting its potential as a natural alternative for maintaining oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment. The presence of various bioactive compounds in the extract contributes to its antifungal activity.
