Abstract

Background: Nutritional status is an individual's health condition, which is determined by the degree of physical need for energy and nutrients obtained from food. The most important behavior that can affect nutritional status is consumption pattern. This is because the quantity and quality of consumed food and drink will affect nutritional intake, which in turn it will affect the health of individuals and society. Purposes: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between consumption patterns of carbohydrate source foods and nutritional status in the people of Nambo District. Method: This research is an observational analytic study with a cross sectional approach. This study's population includes all residents of the Nambo District. The research sample consisted of 106 respondents, who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data collection included examining nutritional status by weighing and measuring height as well as conducting interviews using Food Recall 24 Hours for 2 days. Data were analyzed by Spearman's rank test. Results: The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship (p < 0.05) between the consumption patterns of carbohydrate source foods and nutritional status in the people of Nambo District, and the value of r = 0.493 indicates the strength of the correlation between consumption patterns of carbohydrate source foods and nutritional status in the people of Nambo District is moderate in nature with a positive correlation direction, which indicates a unidirectional correlation direction.

Abstract

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammation of the nasal cavity (12 weeks or more). Until now, the pharmacological treatment for CRS using a nasal drug delivery system (DDS) has been frequently chosen due to the convenience of the administration. However, nasal DDS shows several disadvantages, such as the vulnerability of sinus mucosa to irritation and medication. Purpose: To assess available literature evidence regarding nasal DDS based on sol-gel using P407 and HPMC for CRS therapy. Methods: A literature search on nasal DDS development using sol-gel thermosensitive mucoadhesive P407 and HPMC was conducted through Pubmed and Proquest journal databases. The supporting articles were searched using specific keywords with inclusion criteria. Results: Sol-gel with P407 (15,5% w/w) and HPMC (0,4% w/w and 0,7% w/w) shows gelation temperature 34.18±0.06oC and 32.76±0.45oC respectively, and virtually clear gel. Rheological evaluation of sol-gel DDS shows modulus G’>G” at 8oC (solution form), while at 32oC shows modulus G’<G” (elastic gel form). In vitro test of dexamethasone release shows velocity 70-81 μg/cm2 h−1/2 after 72 hours of administration. Ex vivo test shows slow permeation of dexamethasone at sinus mucosa for 8 hours. Conclusion: Based on the in vitro and ex vivo models, the thermosensitive mucoadhesive gel composed of p407 and HPMC produced extended drug release profiles in conditions mimicking the human nasal cavity, which indicated their suitability for treating a range of conditions affecting the nasal cavity/sinuses.
