Abstract

Background: Cigarette smoke is free radical that causing some pathological conditions such as inflammation, proteolysis, and oxidative stress. In previous studies, mangrove (Rhizophora apiculata) bark extract showed the potential effect as an antioxidant. Mangrove and mangrove associates are abundant plants that grow throughout Indonesian shorelines that have high pharmaceutical and food values. Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of Rhizophora apiculata bark extract in protecting pancreas of male white rat (Rattus novergicus) Sprague Dawley strain exposed to cigarette smoke. Methods: This research was an experimental study using a posttest-only control group design. Mangrove bark was extracted by using the maceration method. Cigarette smoke exposure was performed using an electric cigarette. Liver inflammation is assessed histopathologically. Results: Significant results (p <0.05) were found between the control and cigarette groups as well as the cigarette and bark extract + control groups. The results were not significant (p> 0.05) between the control and the bark extract + cigarette. Conclusion : The administration of mangrove bark extract has a potential to protect the damage of pancreatic male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) Sprague Dawley strains exposed to cigarette smoke

Abstract

Background: Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove and propolis are often used as natural wound treatments. Its constituent is believed to promote wound healing. Objective: This study aims to explore the effect of topical administration of ethanol extract of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove leaves and propolis on wound healing activity. Methods: Twenty-four Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups (n=6): aqua dest, standard wound medicine, ethanol extract of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove leaves, and propolis extract. Following the incision, treatment was given once a day for 14 days or until the wound healed. The cut area was observed by measuring the cut length using a ruler. Results: Standard wound medication took 9 days to promote healing, while the negative control (aqua dest) took 11.2 days, the ethanol extract of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove leaves took 7.3 days, and the propolis extract took 7.9 days. Conclusions: Topical administration of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove leaves ethanol extract and propolis had equal effects on the healing of wounds. Both are more effective than conventional wound ointments at healing cuts.
