Background: One of the puerperal complication is uterine subinvolution that can cause bleeding to maternal death. Oxytocin massage can stimulate oxytocin hormone that plays a role in the process of uterine involution. Endorphine massage can increase the release of oxytocin and endorphine hormone that give a sense of calm and comfort. It also increases production of oxytocin hormone that can improve the process of uterine involution. Objective: To prove the effectiveness of a combination of oxytocin massage and endorphine massage to uterine involution in primiparaous mothers during postpartum period.Methods: This was a quasy-experimental study with pretest-posttest with control group design. Total samples were 44 normal postpartum mothers selected using purposive sampling technique, which were randomly assigned in four groups, namely: 1) oxytocin massage group, 2) endorphin massage group, 3) combined oxytocin-endorphin massage group, and 4) control group. The data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and One Way Anova to test the effectiveness of the intervention.Results: There were statistically significant differences of fundal height before and after intervention among the four groups (p=<0.05). Conclusion: The combination of oxytocin massage and endorphine massage proved most effective in accelerating uterine involution in normal postpartum mothers.

The aim of the research is to study the histological structure of proximal metaphysial cartilage of the humerus in adult rats after 60 days of tartrazine administration (750 mg/kg and 1500 mg/kg body weight). Materials and Methods. The study was carried out on 90 white male rats, divided into 3 groups. In Group 1 (control), animals daily intragastrically received 1ml of 0.9 % isotonic sodium chloride solution for 60 days. Rats of Groups 2 and Group 3 received intragastrically 1ml of tartrazine solution (750 mg/kg and 1500 mg/kg body weight respectively) for 60 days. The readaptation period after the last tartrazine administration was 3, 10, 15, 24, or 45 days. The area of the proximal humerus metaphysis underwent treatment according to the standard histological protocol. The obtained sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and subjected to a subsequent histomorphometric study. Results. On the 3rd day of the readaptation period, the total width of the proximal metaphysial cartilage of the humerus in animals of Group 2, was by 8.59 % less than the values of the control group; the width of the indifferent, proliferating and definitive cartilage was by 6.11 %, 8.85 % and 7.15 % less; the width of the destruction zone was by 11.55 % less; and the width of the osteogenesis zone was by 9.92 % less. The content of primary spongiosis in the osteogenesis zone and the number of cells on the trabeculae surface were lower than the values of Group 1 by 8.45 % and 8.42 % respectively. During the readaptation period, the authors observed similar dynamics of changes in the histomorphometric parameters of the metaphysical cartilage of the humerus with levelling by the 45th day of the experiment. In rats of Group 3, during the entire readaptation period, the histomorphometric parameters changed more significantly and their recovery to control values was slower than in animals of Group 2. Conclusion. 60-day tartrazine administration to adult rats is accompanied by inhibition of the bone formation function of the proximal metaphysial cartilage of the humerus. It is confirmed by a decrease in the width of all its zones and components of the osteogenesis zone. More pronounced in amplitude and duration changes in the parameters studied were recorded in animals treated with tartrazine, 1500 mg/kg body weight. Keywords: humerus, metaphysial cartilage, tartrazine, histomorphometry. Цель исследования. Установить, оказывает ли влияние 60-дневное введение тартразина в дозах 750 и 1500 мг/кг массы тела на гистологическое строение проксимального метафизарного хряща плечевой кости у половозрелых крыс. Материалы и методы. Исследование проведено на 90 белых крысах-самцах, распределенных на 3 группы: 1-я – контрольная, в которой животные ежедневно в течение 60 дней получали физиологический раствор через желудочный зонд; 2-ю и 3-ю группы составили крысы, которые на протяжении 60 дней получали внутрижелудочно 1 мл раствора тартразина в дозах 750 и 1500 мг/кг массы тела соответственно. Сроки периода реадаптации после окончания введения тартразина составляли 3, 10, 15, 24, 45 сут. Проксимальный метафиз плечевой кости подвергался обработке по стандартному гистологическому протоколу. Полученные срезы окрашивались гематоксилин-эозином и подвергались последующему гистоморфометрическому исследованию. Результаты. У животных 2-й группы на 3-й день периода реадаптации общая ширина проксимального метафизарного хряща плечевой кости была меньше значений контрольной группы на 8,59 %, ширина зон индифферентного, пролиферирующего и дефинитивного хряща – на 6,11, 8,85 и 7,15 % меньше, ширина зоны деструкции – на 11,55 %, а ширина зоны остеогенеза – на 9,92 %. Содержание первичной спонгиозы в зоне остеогенеза и количество клеток на поверхности трабекул были меньше значений контрольной группы на 8,45 и 8,42 %. В ходе периода реадаптации сходная динамика изменений гистоморфометрических параметров метафизарного хряща плечевой кости сохранялась с тенденцией к сглаживанию к 45-м сут эксперимента. У крыс 3-й группы в ходе всего периода реадаптации изучаемые параметры изменялись более значимо и их восстановление до контрольных величин происходило медленнее, чем во 2-й группе. Выводы. 60-дневное введение тартразина половозрелым крысам сопровождается угнетением костеобразовательной функции проксимального метафизарного хряща плечевой кости, что подтверждается снижением ширины всех его зон и объемных компонентов зоны остеогенеза. Более выраженные по амплитуде и длительности изменения изучаемых параметров зафиксированы у животных, получавших тартразин в дозе 1500 мг/кг массы тела. Ключевые слова: плечевая кость, метафизарный хрящ, тартразин, гистоморфометрия.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the effect of dietary Spirogyra jaoensis in starter feed on growth performance, pectoralis muscle (PM) growth, and small intestine morphology of broiler chickens. Materials and Methods: One hundred twenty one-day-old Cobb-500 broilers (body weight 46±2.6 g) were divided into four equal groups with 3 replicates in each group and given basal feed supplemented with dried S. jaoensis at doses of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, or 2%. The treatment was carried out until the chickens were 18 days old to examine growth of broiler chicks at starter period (8-21 days old). Results: Supplementation with S. jaoensis at doses of 0.5% and 1% resulted in increased weight and improved feed conversion ratio compared to the control group. At the end of treatment, chickens fed with 0.5% and 1% S. jaoensis weighed 428.3±47.8 g and 426.9±31.8 g, respectively, and were significantly heavier than the control group (373.1±44.1 g). Furthermore, parameters related to PM growth and small intestine morphology of chickens supplemented with 0.5% S. jaoensis in basal feed were improved compared to the control group. Conclusion: The results of this research indicate that S. jaoensis at a dose of 0.5% improves growth performance, PM growth, and small intestine morphology in broiler chickens. Keywords: broiler chicken, feed supplement, pectoralis muscle growth, small intestine, Spirogyra jaoensis.

Penyakit tidak menular (PTM) yang menjadi penyebab kematian nomor satu setiap tahunnya adalah penyakit kardiovaskular dengan salah satu faktor risiko dislipidemia. Dislipidemia ditandai dengan peningkatan kadar LDL dan penurunan HDL. Salah satu bahan tradisonal yang digunakan sebagai terapi dislipidemia adalah jahe gajah (Zingiber officinale). Senyawa flavonoid pada jahe gajah memiliki kandungan antioksidan dan menekan aktivitas enzim HMG-CoA reduktase sehingga memiliki efek terhadap profil lipid tubuh. Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui pengaruh fraksi air jahe gajah terhadap kadar HDL dan LDL pada mencit model dislipdemia. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Hewan Farmasi Institut Teknologi Bandung dan Laboratorium Hewan Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Islam Bandung periode April–Juni 2018. Penelitian eksperimental ini menggunakan 15 ekor mencit jantan tua (45–49 minggu) yang terbagi menjadi 5 kelompok. Kelompok kontrol positif diberikan pakan standar dan pelarut fraksi, kelompok kontrol negatif diberikan pakan tinggi lemak dan pelarut fraksi, kelompok perlakuan 1 diberikan fraksi air jahe gajah 19,9 mg/20 gBB/hari, kelompok perlakuan 2 diberikan fraksi air jahe gajah 39,8 mg/20 gBB/hari, dan kelompok perlakuan 3 diberikan fraksi air  jahe gajah 79,6 mg/20 gBB/hari. Perlakuan dilakukan selama 28 hari. Hasil rerata kadar HDL setelah perlakuan adalah: 54,33 mg/dL; 35,00 mg/dL; 79,00 mg/dL; 81,57 mg/dL; dan 79, 67 mg/dL, sedangkan rerata kadar LDL adalah 6,53 mg/dL; 11,67 mg/dL; 33,33 mg/dL; 35,00 mg/dL, dan 21,33 mg/dL. Analisis statistik dengan one-way ANOVA pada pengukuran HDL bermakna signifikan (p<0,05) dan pengukuran LDL tidak signifikan (p>0,05) kelompok perlakuan dengan kelompok kontrol positif dan negatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan pengaruh fraksi air jahe gajah terhadap kadar HDL namun tidak terdapat pengaruh terhadap kadar LDL. THE EFFECT OF GINGER FRACTION ON HDL AND LDL LEVELS IN MICE WITH DYSLIPIDEMIA The main cause of death among non-communicable diseases every year is cardiovascular disease, with one of the risk factors is dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia is characterized by increased levels of LDL and decreased HDL. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is one of the traditional herbs used as a therapy in dyslipidemia. Flavonoid compounds in ginger contain antioxidants and suppress the activity of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase that it has an effect on the body’s lipid profile. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ginger fraction on HDL and LDL levels in mice with dyslipidemia. This experimental study used 15 old male mice (45–49 weeks). Mice are divided into 5 groups. The positive control group was given standard diet and fraction solvents, the negatif control group was given high fat diet and fraction solvents, the group 1 was given the ginger  fraction 19.9 mg/20gBB/day, the group 2 was given ginger  fraction 39.8 mg/20 gBB/day, and the group 3 was given a fraction of ginger  79.6 mg/20 gBB/day. The treatment was carried out for 28 days. The average of HDL levels was: 54.33 mg/dL; 35.00 mg/dL; 79.00 mg/dL: 81.57 mg/dL; and 79, 67 mg/dL. While the average of LDL was 6.53 mg/dL; 11.67 mg/dL; 33.33 mg/dL; 35.00 mg/dL, and 21.33mg/dL. Statistical analysis with one-way ANOVA on HDL measurements was significant (p <0.05) and non-significant LDL measurements (p> 0.05) between treatment group and control groups. The conducted study showed an effect of the ginger water fraction on HDL levels and no effect on LDL levels.

Study design: Four groups, between-subjects study. Objectives: To investigate the effects of exercise on adaptation of normal subjects who had been artificially spatially disoriented. Background: Many patients referred for rehabilitation experience sensory changes, due to age or disease processes, and these changes affect motor skill. The best way to train patients to adapt to these changes and to improve their sensorimotor skills is unclear. Using normal subjects, we tested the hypothesis that active, planned head movement is needed to adapt to modified visual input. Methods and measures: Eighty male and female subjects who had normal balance on computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) and the dynamic gait index (DGI), were randomly assigned to four groups. All groups donned diagonally shift lenses and were again assessed with CDP and DGI. The four groups were then treated for 20 min. Group 1 (control group) viewed a video, Group 2 performed exercise that involved translating the entire body through space, but without separate, volitional head movement, Group 3 performed exercises which all incorporated volitional, planned head rotations, and Group 4 performed exercises that involved translating the body (as in Group 2) and incorporated volitional, planned head motion (as in Group 3). All subjects were post-tested with CDP and DGI, lenses were removed, and subjects were retested again with CDP and DGI. Results: The groups did not differ significantly on CDP scores but Groups 3 and 4 had significantly better DGI scores than Groups 1 and 2. Conclusions: Active head movement that is specifically planned as part of the exercise is more effective than passive attention or head movements that are not consciously planned, for adapting to sensorimotor change when it incorporates active use of the changed sensory modality, in this case head motion.

Preemptive analgesia inhibits the progression of pain caused by surgical lesions. To analyze the effect of lidocaine on postoperative pain relief, we performed compression of the right sciatic nerve in Wistar rats and observed the differences on behavior between the group that received lidocaine and the group that was not treated with the local anesthetics pre-operatively. Group 1 was not operated (control); group 2 underwent the sciatic nerve ligature without lidocaine; group 3, underwent surgery with previous local infiltration of lidocaine. Group 2 showed significantly longer scratching times with a peak on day 14 post-operative (p=0.0005) and reduction in the latency to both noxious (p=0.003) and non-noxious (p=0.004) thermal stimulus. Group 3 presented significantly shorter scratching times (p=0.004) and longer latency times when compared to Group 2. Preemptive use of lidocaine 2% can potentially reduce the postoperative neuropathic pain associated with sciatic nerve compression.

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative morphine-sparing effects and reduction in pain and secondary mechanical hyperalgesia after preincisional or postincisional epidural administration of a local anesthetic and an opioid compared with a sham epidural control. Methods Patients undergoing major gynecologic surgery by laparotomy were randomly assigned to three groups and studied in a double-blinded manner. Group 1 received epidural lidocaine and fentanyl before incision and epidural saline 40 min after incision. Group 2 received epidural saline before incision and epidural lidocaine and fentanyl 40 min after incision. Group 3 received a sham epidural control (with saline injected into a catheter taped to the back) before and 40 min after incision. All patients underwent surgery with general anesthesia. Results One hundred forty-one patients completed the study (group 1, n = 45; group 2, n = 49; group 3, n = 47). Cumulative patient-controlled analgesia morphine consumption at 48 h was significantly lower (P = 0.04) in group 1 (89.8 +/- 43.3 mg) than group 3 (112.5 +/- 71.5 mg) but not group 2 (95.4 +/- 60.2 mg), although the hourly rate of morphine consumption between 24 and 48 h after surgery was significantly lower (P &lt; 0.0009) in group 1 (1.25 +/- 0.02 mg/h) than group 2 (1.41 +/- 0.02 mg/h). Twenty-four hours after surgery, the visual analog scale pain score on movement was significantly less intense (P = 0.005) in group 1 (4.9 +/- 2.2 cm) than group 3 (6.0 +/- 2.6 cm) but not group 2 (5.3 +/- 2.5 cm), and the von Frey pain threshold near the wound was significantly higher (P = 0.03) in group 1 (6.4 +/- 0.6 log mg) than in group 3 (6.1 +/- 0.8 log mg) but not group 2 (6.2 +/- 0.7 log mg). Conclusions Preincisional administration of epidural lidocaine and fentanyl was associated with a significantly lower rate of morphine use, lower cumulative morphine consumption, and reduced hyperalgesia compared with a sham epidural condition. These results highlight the importance of including a standard treatment control group to avoid the problems of interpretation that arise when two-group studies of preemptive analgesia (preincisional vs. postsurgery) fail to find the anticipated effects.

Background: We investigated whether the frequency of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) increased in patients in whom double-J stents were applied. We also evaluated several medical therapy protocols to treat symptoms related with ureteral stents.Materials and Methods: A total of 108 patients, in whom unilateral double-j stent was applied during ureteral stone treatment, were included. Before the double-J stent was applied, all patients completed storage components of the “International Prostate Symptom Score” (IPSSs), quality of life components of the IPSS (IPSS-QOL) and “Overactive Bladder Questionnaire” (OABq) forms and scores were calculated. After the procedure, cases were randomized into 5 groups, an antiinflammatory was given to Group 1, spasmolytic to Group 2, anticholinergic to Group 3 and α-blocker to Group 4. No additional drug was given to Group 5 as this control group. During the fourth week of the procedure, IPSSs, IPSS-QOL and OABq forms were again completed and scores were compared with the previous ones.Results: When all the cases were evaluated, the IPSSs, IPSS-QOLand OABq scores of patients in whom the double-J stent was applied were statistically significantly higher the procedure. Compared to the control group, the cases where the double-J stent was applied showed a higher IPSSs, IPSS-QOL and OABq scores and none of the medical therapies could prevent this increase.Interpretation: The frequency of LUTS increased in cases where the ureteral stent was applied and discomfort continued as long as the stent stayed in the body.
