One kind of material that can prevent photoaging is antioxidant. A single clove garlic has the highest antioxidant activity compared to the other materials. Aim: This research aimed at investigating the effectivity of single clove garlic in inhibiting the clinical symptom of photoaging. Method: This research was an experimental research, utilizing pre-post-test control group design. The used sample were 30 male wistar rats which were divided into 6 experimental groups. All groups were exposed to UV-B light with the amount of 840 mJ/cm2. Control group (P1) was only exposed to UV-B while the other groups were treated with placebo cream (P2), sunblock (P3), 5% garlic cream (P4), 10% garlic cream (P5) and 20% garlic cream (P6) respectively. The clinical symptom in the form of wrinkle was observed by using dermascope and the observations were categorized based on Glogau Scale. The statistical analysis utilized Wilcoxon and Kruskal Wallis test which was followed by Mann Whitney test. Result: The result of the research showed that there was significant difference on the apparent wrinkle on P1 group and P3, P5 and P6.

Potention of nHAC/PLGA Based Syringetin as Bionano Bone Graft to Improved Osteoinductivity and Osteoconductivitas

Background: According to the data of Riskesdas in 2013, fracture incident rate in Sulawesi gets a 16% increase. The most common fracture incident happens to elderly age group and its predominant cause is traumatic incident like falls and traffic accident. Treatment now such as ORIF and External Fixation is far from cheap and has a high risk to the patient. Syringetin-based nHAC/PLGA usage can be a new bionano bone graft because it can target specific cells to increase osteoinductivity in bones. Method: This literature review is established by literature review method of collecting sources from valid scientific literature which has specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Discussion: Syringetin-based nHAC usage has some targets like BMSC. Syringetin-based nHAC has effect in increasing the expression of BMP-2 and miRNA-21. BMP-2 and miRNA-21 are factors that take part in osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. That expression increase is marked by ALP activity and osteocalcin increase. Conclusion: Significantly, the usage of syringetin-based nHAC/PLGA can increase the proliferation and differentiation rate of BMSC to osteoblast.
