This study aims to determine the efficacy of jatropha curcas L. cream in the maturation phase of healing of mice leather injuries. This study used nine rats with 3 treatments, ie treatment group I smeared cream base (P1), treatment group II smeared 0.1% sulfadiazine cream (P2) and treatment group III smeared jatropha curcas 10% (P3). The result of ANAVA test of treatment I, treatment II and treatment III had significant effect (P 0,05) on fibroblast cells but each treatment group on collagen density level showed significant effect (P 0.01). Duncan test results on fibroblasts, P3 was significantly different (P 0.05) with P2 and P3, whereas the results on P3 collagen density were significantly different (P 0.01) with P2 and P1. The conclusion that 10% jatropha gum cream for 10 days can decrease the number of fibroblast cells and increase the amount of collagen thus accelerate the process of maturation phase of healing of mice leather injuries.

PURPOSE: Evaluation of the rheological, biological and therapeutic properties of a new topical formulation consisting of chitosan gel containing 1% silver sulfadiazine, as an alternative for the treatment of burn wounds. METHODS: An experimental study was done with 21 Wistar rats divided into three groups. Group I was treated with chitosan gel without the antimicrobial, group II was treated with chitosan gel with 1% silver sulfadiazine and group III was treated with commercially available 1% silver sulfadiazine cream. RESULTS: Due to its pseudoplastic characteristic and good bioadhesiveness, the chitosan gels showed a satisfactory retention time over the wounds. No statistical difference was found in the amount of drug released from the chitosan gel and commercially available cream, as well as in the healing time among the groups. Wounds treated with chitosan gel with silver sulfadiazine showed a higher fibroblast production and a better angiogenesis than in the other groups, which are important parameters on the evolution of the healing process. CONCLUSION: The topical use of chitosan gel in association with silver sulfadiazine ameliorated the neovascularization and inflammatory reaction in burn wounds. This new formulation showed advantageous rheological properties and efficient release of the drug.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the compression neuropathy in upper extremity. Several researches have been done to see the effect of various treatments separately. But very little research work is available for comparison of treatments. So the study was aimed to study the clinical and electrophysiological findings and their Comparision before and after various treatments. NCS was carried out in 200 CTS patients before and after 6weeks of treatment. Patients were divided into 4 groups. Group I- operative, Group II-medicinal treatment, Group III-exercise, Group IV-medicine+exercise. Clinical and electrophysiological parameters all groups were compared before and after treatment. Group (I), showed significant changes in all parameters except SNAP in operated Rt. Hand as compared to Lt. Hand. Group-II showed significant changes in DML,DML(diff.),DSL,DSL(Diff.)except CMAP,SNAP,&SCV in Rt. Hand but in Lt. hand DML,DML(diff.)DSL showed significant changes where as DSL(Diff.) CMAP,SNAP,&SCV were non-significant. Group-III showed significant changes in DML, DML(diff.),DSL,DSL(Diff.) but SCV,SNAP and CMAP were non-significant in Rt. hand but in Lt. hand only DML(diff.) was significant . Group-IV showed significant changes in all parameters except SCV in Rt. hand but in Lt. hand DML, DML (diff.),DSL, DSL(Diff.) were significant , where as SNAP, CMAP, and SCV were non-significant. It was concluded that maximum improvement was observed in clinical and electrophysiological parameters in operative group, then Medicine + exercise Group, then exercise Group and minimum in Medicinal treatment Group. So operative method is the method of choice for CTS; however the duration of treatment should be more so that further improvements can be seen in all parameters.

Background and Objective: Iguana breeders usually used red spinach as a feed for iguanas. However, several studies have indicated that red spinach contains oxalate and purine which are harmful if consumed at a certain level because they can interfere with kidney function. This study aimed to investigate the change of anatomy and histology of green iguana (Iguana iguana) kidney after feeding with red spinach. Materials and methods: Twelve iguanas were used in this study and were divided into four groups in accordance to the dose level of red spinach (100%, 75%, 50% and 25%, namely group I to IV, respectively). The red spinach was given for 30 days through the nasogastric intubation. The effect of red spinach administration was observed through the anatomy and histological changes. The results were statistically analyzed with One Way ANOVA with p<0.05 was considered significant, and Post Hoc Test. The histopathology change of the kidney was analyzed descriptively. Results: The administration of red spinach in iguanas caused some anatomy changes of the kidney; such as the enlargement of iguana’s kidney. The histological findings included the enlargement of the glomerulus, capsular space constriction, hydropic degeneration, tubular dilation, necrosis, and formation of connective tissue (fibrosis), uric acid crystal sediment (gout), oxalate crystal, and lymphocyte infiltration. Among four different dose levels of red spinach, 100% of red spinach caused the highest damage to the iguana’s kidney. The significant change grew as the increasing dose of red spinach that was given to the green iguanas’ bodies. Conclusion:  Red spinach caused changes in anatomy structure as well as kidney histology of green iguanas. Severe damages occurred in the treatment group III, moderate damage occurredin the treatment group II, and light damage occurred in the treatment group I. Keywords: Green iguana, Red spinach, Kidney, Anatomy Change, Histology Change

Penggunaan daun jarak pagar, khususnya sebagai obat antihipertensi, masih perlu didukung data toksisitas untuk menjamin keamanan pemanfaatannya. Telah dilakukan penelitian pengaruh infus daun jarak pagar (Jatropha curcas Linn.) terhadap gambaran histologi hati mencit (Mus musculus) yang diamati secara mikroskopik. Penelitian ini menggunakan 60 ekor mencit jantan yang dibagi dalam tiga kelompok konsentrasi : kelompok I, 5 % b/v; kelompok II, 10 % b/v; kelompok III, 20 % b/v ditambah satu kelompok kontrol. Kelompok I, II dan III serta kelompok kontrol masing-masing dibagi atas tiga subkelompok berdasarkan lama pemberian (15 hari, 30 hari, 45 hari). Masing-masing subkelompok terdiri dari 5 ekor mencit. Hasil pemeriksaan mikroskopik menunjukkan bahwa pemberian infus daun jarak pagar 5 % b/v, 10 % b/v dan 20 % b/v peroral sekali sehari dengan dosis 1 ml/30 gram berat badan memengaruhi struktur jaringan hati mencit. Pemberian infus daun jarak pagar 5 % b/v selama 15 hari menunjukkan struktur jaringan hati mencit yang masih dalam batas-batas normal. Kerusakan struktur jaringan hati mencit mulai terlihat setelah pemberian infus daun jarak pagar 5 % b/v selama 30 hari dan 45 hari yang meningkat dengan semakin besarnya konsentrasi dan lamanya masa pemberian.  Perhitungan secara statistik dengan menggunakan desain blok lengkap acak menunjukkan bahwa parameter susunan radier sel, sinusoid, membran sel, sitoplasma sel dan inti sel jaringan hati mencit mengalami kerusakan akibat pemberian infus daun jarak pagar 5 % b/v, 10 % b/v dan 20 % b/v dengan efek yang sangat berbeda nyata.   Kata kunci : jarak pagar, histologi hati, infus The use of Jatropha leaves, especially as an antihypertensive drug, still needs to be supported by toxicity data to ensure the safety of its use. Research on the effect of jatropha (Jatropha curcas Linn.) Infusion on mice (Mus musculus) histology was observed microscopically. This study used 60 male mice divided into three concentration groups: group I, 5% w / v; group II, 10% w / v; group III, 20% w / v plus one control group. Groups I, II and III and the control group each divided into three subgroups based on the length of administration (15 days, 30 days, 45 days). Each subgroup consists of 5 mice. Microscopic examination results showed that the administration of Jatropha leaf infusion of 5% w / v, 10% w / v and 20% w / v orally once a day at a dose of 1 ml / 30 grams of body weight affected the structure of the liver tissue of mice. The administration of Jatropha leaf infusion of 5% w / v for 15 days showed that the structure of the liver tissue of mice was still within normal limits. Damage to the structure of the liver tissue of mice began to be seen after administration of Jatropha leaf infusion of 5% w / v for 30 days and 45 days which increased with increasing concentration and length of administration. Statistical calculations using a randomized complete block design showed that the parameters of the cell radier, sinusoid, cell membrane, cell cytoplasm and liver cell nuclei of the mice suffered damage due to jatropha leaf infusion of 5% w / v, 10% w / v and 20 % b / v with a very different effect.   Keywords: jatropha, liver histology, infusion

The effect of progesterone and prostaglandin administration on the timing of farrowing was studied in three groups of 25 sows each .. Progesterone treatment (100 mg/day) on days 112, 113 and 114 of gestation (group I) significantly prolonged the gestation length to 116 A�0�4 (mean�s.e.) days compared to the control sows (group III; 115�5 �O� 2; P < 0 �05). Administration of prostaglandin (200 I1g Cloprostanol intramuscularly) on day 115 of gestation following progesterone treatment (group II) resulted in a gestation length of 116 �0 �0�1 days, with the sows farrowing 25 �4� 1 �0 h after the prostaglandin injection. 80 % of the sows farrowed between 0800 and 1700 h of day 116 of gestation.

ABSTRACT Endogenous insulin secretion after different stimuli was determined in insulin requiring diabetics without circulating insulin antibodies. Four groups of non-obese diabetics were investigated and compared with 111 controls. Group I: 14 patients with mild diabetes, not yet requiring insulin; diagnosis before the age of 30 years. Group II: 19 ketonuric patients just before being started on insulin treatment. Group III: 18 patients during remission after an average of 16.5 months' insulin treatment. Group IV: 13 patients with no remission period or relapse after an average of 19.5 months on insulin treatment. Blood glucose and immunoreactive insulin were measured during fasting and after iv secretin, iv tolbutamide, iv GTT, and oral GTT, followed by combined iv tolbutamide and glucagon stimulation. A considerable insulin secretion could be demonstrated in group I, whereas in group II only a very low insulin peak was obtained after secretin and the combined injection of glucagon and tolbutamide. In group III considerable insulin secretion was demonstrated, whereas in group IV only a very low insulin peak was obtained. A significant correlation between the degree of metabolic control and endogenous insulin secretion was found.

ABSTRACT There is increasing data implicating Chlamydia pneumoniae in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, and antibiotics may theoretically be useful to prevent secondary vascular complications. Three groups of New Zealand White specific-pathogen-free rabbits, fed cholesterol-free chow, were inoculated via the nasopharynx on three occasions, 2 weeks apart, with C. pneumoniae. Group I (n = 23) rabbits were untreated; group II (n = 24) rabbits were treated with azithromycin at 30 mg/kg of body weight daily for 3 days and then once every 6 days, starting 5 days after first inoculation and continuing until sacrifice (early treatment); and group III (n = 24) rabbits were treated with the same dose of azithromycin but initiated 2 weeks after the last inoculation. All animals were sacrificed at 10 to 11 weeks after initial inoculation and examined for signs of atherosclerosis of the aorta. Eight (34.8%) untreated rabbits developed early signs of atherosclerosis, whereas only one (4.2%) in the early-treatment group had such signs (P = 0.02). However, eight rabbits (33.3%) of the delayed-treatment group had atherosclerotic changes of the aorta and no significant reduction compared to untreated rabbits. Early treatment of C. pneumoniae-infected rabbits with azithromycin was highly effective (87%) in preventing atherosclerotic changes, but delayed treatment was ineffective. It is possible that longer or more aggressive antibiotic treatment may be needed to reverse preformed lesions or that antibiotics may not be of value once lesions have formed.

Background: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the periodontal tissues usually provoked by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) bacteria. In the periodontitis healing process, macrophages play a significant role in the inflammatory stage. Brotowali (Tinospora crispa) consists of flavonoids that can stimulate periodontitis healing. Methods: Brotowali extract was derived from dried brotowali stems, processed into powder, and macerated with ethanol 80%. After that, the extraction was performed in three different concentrations, which were 25%, 50%, and 100%. five groups of Wistar rats were divided into Healthy wistar rats (control negative) Wistar rats suffering from periodontitis (control positive), Wistar rats suffering from periodontitis treated with 0.1 ml of 25% brotowali extract (treatment I), suffering from periodontitis treated with 0.1 ml of 50% brotowali extract (treatment II), and Wistar rats suffering from periodontitis treated with 0.1 ml of 100% brotowali extract (treatment III). The histological slide of each sample then was made to determine the number of macrophages cells. Results: One-Way ANOVA analysis revealed a notable difference among the groups. Tukey HSD Test (Post Hoc Test) showed no significant difference between (treatment group I) and (treatment group II). Conclusion: Brotowali extract may influence macrophage cells count of Wistar rats caused by A. actinomycetemcomitans bacteria.

Object. This study was undertaken to investigate the healing process and to delineate factors important for the survival of free fascial grafts used for dural repair. Methods. A dural defect was created in guinea pigs and then reconstructed using either a free fascial graft or an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) sheet. The fascial graft was covered directly by subcutaneous tissue (Group I) or by a silicone sheet to prevent tissue ingrowth from the subcutaneous tissue (Group II). The ePTFE sheet was covered with a silicone sheet (Group III). One or 2 weeks postoperatively, the strength of the dural repair was evaluated by determining the pressure at which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaked through the wound margins. The dural repair was also histologically examined. In addition, using a rat model, specimens obtained from similar reconstruction sites were immunohistochemically stained with antibodies against basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), epidermal growth factor, or transforming growth factor—β. The pressures at which CSF leaked after 1 and 2 weeks, respectively, were 50 ± 14 mm Hg and 126 ± 20 mm Hg in Group I, 70 ± 16 mm Hg and 101 ± 38 mm Hg in Group II, and 0 mm Hg and 8 ± 8 mm Hg in Group III. Failure of repairs made in Group III occurred at significantly lower pressures when compared with Groups I and II. In Groups I and II, a thick fibrous tissue formed around the fascial graft. This tissue tightly adhered to adjacent dura mater. The fibrous tissue displayed a positive reaction for the presence of bFGF. In Group III, only a thin fibrous membrane surrounded the ePTFE sheet. Conclusions. Fascial grafts tolerated extraordinary intracranial pressures at 1 week postoperatively. Free fascial grafts can heal with durable fibrous tissue without the presence of a blood supply from an overlying vascularized flap.

Abstract Cholesterol is needed in certain concentration as to avoid health effects. Efforts to handle hypercholesterolemia can be done by utilizing the content of resistant starch in Uter bananas flour. The aim of this study was to prove the hypocholesterolemic effect of Uter Banana flour in hypercholesterolemic Spraque-Dawlwy rats. Therefore, experimental research using animals to determine the hypocholesterolemic effect of Uter banana flour was carried out for 28 days, in Spraque Dawlwy male rats aged 2 months, weighing ± 200 grams. Rats were divided into 5 treatment groups. Group I was normal rats group, group II was hypercholesterol rats without treatment, group III was hypercholesterol rats with pulp fruit flour diet, group IV was hypercholesterol rats with whole fruit flour diet, group V was hypercholesterol rats with peel fruit flour diet. Each diet contained 100 mg / kgBB. Statistical analysis showed that a diet of pulp fruit flour and whole fruit flour can reduce levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL significantly (p<0.05). Digesta characteristics differed among the treatment group and the hypercholesterolemia group without treatment (p <0.05). The whole fruit flour has ability to lower cholesterol better than pulp fruit flour, whereas, peel fruit flour has no hypocholesterolemic effects. Keywords: hypercholesterolemia, resistant starch, Uter Banana Flou Abstrak Kolesterol dibutuhkan oleh tubuh dalam jumlah tertentu agar tidak membahayakan kesehatan. Upaya penanganan hiperkolesterolemia dapat dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan kandungan pati resisten dalam pisang Uter.
