Abstract

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is expected to be an alternative therapy in wound healing by accelerating the inflammatory process and increasing the healing factors so that the healing process or inflammation is faster. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of calcium chloride (CaCl2)-activated PRP on the viability, migration, and cytokine levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of dermal fibroblast cells in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory conditions, as a model in wound healing in vitro. Fibroblast cells were grown in DMEM medium induced with LPS, and then CaCl2-activated PRP treatment was added. Measure fibroblast cell viability using CCK-8 kit (cell counting kit-8) was evaluated using a microplate reader, and the cell migration was evaluated using scratch-assay and TScratch software. Expression of IL-6 and VEGF using ELISA kit. All data were analyzed using software SPSS version 26 by performing a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal Wills, and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed that PRP significantly increased fibroblast cell viability in the 10% PRP treatment group. This study shows that PRP does not reduce IL-6 cytokine levels but can increase VEGF growth factor in fibroblast cell cultures. PRP increased cell migration so that the healing process was faster. In conclusion, the CaCl2-activated PRP on LPS-induced fibroblast cells can increase viability and accelerate cell migration; it can’t decrease IL-6 but can increase VEGF expression. PRP is expected to be an alternative therapy in wound healing.

Abstract

Background: A 70% ethanol extract of jicama seeds has been reported to have antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Phytochemical tests of the extract have identified alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. However, the compounds responsible for its antibacterial effects against P. aeruginosa have not yet been studied. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the class of chemical compounds responsible for the antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa. Methods: The antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa was studied using the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the jicama seed extract at concentrations of 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, and 34% in liquid and solid Nutrient Agar media, the wide inhibitory zone (WIZ) using the Kirby Bauer method, and the retention factor (Rf) of the extract using thin-layer chromatography (TLC)-bioautography. Results: The study results showed that the jicama seed extract had an MBC value of 26%, and the best WIZ value in the extract was 5.68 mm at concentration of 34%. The Rf value in the extract at concentration of 34% which showed antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa was 0.812, 0.750, 0.675, 0.625, and 0.787 of each compound group identified as flavonoids, tannins, quinones, alkaloids, and triterpenoids. The WIZ value of each compound was lower than the WIZ value of the extract. Conclusion: Based on the Rf data, the antibacterial effect of jicama seed extract against P. aeruginosa is likely the result of a synergistic interaction between the chemical compounds contained therein.

Abstract

Background: Neutral buffered formalin (NBF) 10% fixative solution is widely used in histopathological slides. The fixation process generates liquid waste of NBF 10% and solid waste of tissue remnants. Objective: The research aimed to assess the reuse of NBF 10% fixative solution on the quality of histopathological slides and calculate the amount of waste produced. Methods: Treatments included single-use of fixative solution (control), reuse for 1, 2, and 3 times. Ten sample slides were prepared for each treatment, consisting of intestinal tissue, uterine fibroids, prostate, uterus, ovarian cyst, portio vaginalis cervicis, thyroid, rectum, breast fibroadenoma, and gallbladder tissues. Tissues were fixed with NBF 10% and processed histologically with hematoxylin-eosin staining. Liquid waste of NBF 10% and solid waste of tissue remnants were quantified. Histopathological slide quality was measured under a microscope for nuclear and cytoplasmic clarity, staining intensity, and color uniformity. Results: Control slides exhibited good quality with clearly blue-stained nuclei, pink cytoplasm, no color accumulation, and uniform staining across fields of view. Reused NBF 10% slides experienced a decrease in quality compared to the control but were still usable for diagnosis. Slides reused 2 and 3 times showed poor quality, making diagnosis difficult. Fixation resulted in 299.0 liters of liquid waste of NBF 10% and 64.9 kilograms of solid tissue remnants. Conclusion: Reusing NBF 10% decreases histological slide quality, though reuse once still allows for diagnosis. Reusing 10% NBF for tissue fixation can reduce the liquid waste of fixative solution and solid tissue waste.

Abstract

Background: Current therapy for oral cancer (OC) patients, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, still have many shortcomings. Therefore, the discovery of natural products to prevent and treat cancer is receiving increasing attention, one of which is curcumin. Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is a polyphenolic compound found in turmeric (Curcuma longa) and has been widely used as a herbal medicine because of its effects on health, one of which is as an anticancer agent. Objective: This study aimed to systematically and comprehensively review and summarize the anticancer effects and mechanisms of action involved of curcumin on OC cells. Methods: A systematic review methodology was employed adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines to review and summarize previous studies published in databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The final results included 14 articles, both in vitro and in vivo studies. Results: Based on several preclinical studies regarding the effects of curcumin on OC cells, we highlight that curcumin has a strong potential in inhibiting OC cells through exerted effects such as immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, through inhibition of cell proliferation, invasion and migration, and angiogenesis, as well as through the induction of apoptosis and autophagy. Conclusion: The systematic review presented in this paper concludes that curcumin possesses the potential to inhibit the development of OC cells through several mechanisms of action related to immunomodulatory effects, anti-inflammatory effects, cell proliferation, invasion and migration, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and autophagy.
