Abstract

Skin protects the body from various trauma, such as high temperature trauma known ascombustio. Pineapple (Ananas comosus) contains lots of substances such as bromelain,antioxidants, and zinc shown to accelerated healing process in previous experiments. Aim ofthis research was to analize the effect of topical pinneaple juice application in combustiohealing process. The method was true experimental laboratory. Wistar rats’ back skin wereinduced by 100 o C iron plat untill 2 nd degree combustio occured, then divided into two groups(n=20). The treatment group were given topical application of pinneaple juice, then the healingprocess were observed macroscopically and microscopically on day 0, 3, 7, and 14. The resultshowed better wound healing in treatment group on day 14. MANOVA test showed topicalapplication of pinneaple juice accelerated healing process (p=0.001). Treatment group showedbetter histological structure changes, as seen from better granulation tissue formed (p=0.003)and reepithelization (p=0,000), but not from angiogenesis (p=0.733). Conclusion, topicalapplication of pinneaple (Ananas comosus) juice accelerated healing process in 2 nd grade ofcombustio animal model measured by granulation maturation process and reepithelizationprocess, but has no effect on angiogenesis.Keywords : Ananas comosus juice, 2 nd degree combustio, granulation tissue, reepitelisation,angiogenesis.

Abstract

Background: Skeletal muscle is a vital tissue in the human body to enable breathing, walking and performing several sports activities. However, this muscle is persistently injured throughout every sports session. Some exercises demand a muscle injury occurrence in order to build a stronger muscle through an adaptation process namely bodybuilding exercise. Importantly, every muscle injury should occur within a physiological range which can be identified by several biomarkers as well as pain scale. The aim of this study was toidentify changes on the level of Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and Visual analogue scale (VAS) between pre and post training sessions and the correlation between these two indicators.Methods: This was an observational analytical cross sectional comparison study which was conducted in October 2012 and the subjects were adult untrained bodybuilders at the Jatinangor fitness center. The data was obtained by measuring serum CPK and marked VAS. The data were analyzed by t-test, Wilcoxon’s test and Spearman’s correlation.Results: Both CPK and VAS increased significantly by 296 U/L and 19.9 mm respectively. There was a strong positive significant correlation between VAS and CPK (p=0.01, r = 0.711).Conclusion: The healthy untrained bodybuilders chosen in this study experienced a mild (<2000 U/L) muscle injury throughout the training sessions with general increased CPK levels and VAS measurement. [AMJ.2015;2(1):147–52]

Abstract

Background: Uncorrected refractive error is experienced by at least 45 million productive-aged adults (aged 16–45 years old) and 13 million children (aged 5–15 years old), and being the main cause of visual impairment in children worldwide and third cause of blindness in any age in Indonesia. Near work activity is estimated as one of environmental risk factor causing this refractive error, leading into decreased visual acuity. This study was conducted to analyse the impact of near work activity on visual acuity among junior high school students in JatinangorMethods: This study was conducted in junior high school in Jatinangor, using cross sectional method. Total of 147 subjects were screened for visual impairment using Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) tumbling E chart and assesed for near work activity using questionnaire-guided interview method after informed consent had been obtained. Data were analysed using unpaired-T test and Mann-Whitney test.Results: Total diopter hours of near work activity among the group with visual acuity ≥6/18 and group with visual acuity <6/18 showed no significant difference (p=0.329), with latter group had less time-spent in near work activity. Similarly, each activity such as reading, watching TV, and using computer also showed no significant difference , except for playing games where the group with better visual acuity had shown significantly longer time spent than another group (p=0.018).Conclusions: Near work activity does not have impact on visual acuity among junior high school students, except for playing games.[AMJ.2016;3(1):38–42] DOI: 10.15850/amj.v3n1.700

Abstract

High intensity exercise (HI) induces oxidative stress. Running for 2400 meters is one of the simple exercise form which can be counted as HI. During HI, increase of oxygen consumption happened in muscle cell resulted in an increase of oxidant level. The aim of the study was to measure the effects of Indonesian green tea supplementation, before and after HI to the level of lipid peroxidation (TBARSMalonyldialdehyde (MDA)). The subjects of study were 42 male students from Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran (FMUP) and Faculty of Physical Exercise, Indonesia University of Education (FPOK-UPI). The subjects were divided into trained and untrained subject. Subjects were divided into groups using Astrand Harvard step test. The purpose of this test was measuring the level of VO2 max. Blood samples for MDA level were collected at 3 hours before and after high intensity aerobic  exercise. Oxidative stress was induced by 2400 meters run. The result showed that green tea supplement-ation was effective to decrease MDA plasma level especially after exercise. Green tea could serve as natural antioxidant resources, which potentially can be used as potential sport supplemental drink.Key words: Aerobic exercise, Malonyldialdehyde (MDA), pre and post exerciseStudi Pra dan Pasca Pemberian Suplemen Ekstrak Teh Hijauterhadap Kadar MDAHigh intensity exercise (HI) dapat menginduksi stres oksidatif.

Abstract

Background: Calcium bentonite has been known to decrease high blood cholesterol level. This study aimed to explore whether a local calcium bentonite from West Java, Indonesia, had effect on lowering total blood cholesterol level.Methods: A laboratory experimental study was carried out on thirty adult male  Wistar rats’ at Laboratory animals, Department of Pharmacology and Therapy, Universitas Padjadjaran in 2012. The rats were divided into five groups with six rats in each group, consisting of group I (negative control) with standard diet and distilled water, group II (positive control) with high lipid diet and distilled water, group III with high lipid diet and ezetimibe 0.18 g/rat/day, groups IV with high lipid diet and calcium bentonite 0.25 g/rat/day, group V with high lipid diet and calcium bentonite 0.5 g/rat/day. Ezetimibe as was used as this was an inhibitory agent of intestinal cholesterol absorption. Blood cholesterol levels were measured and analyzed using analysis of variance and Tukey’s post-hoc test.Results: Oral calcium bentonite at 0.25 g/rat/day and 0.5 g/rat/day significantly decrease total blood cholesterol level relative to the positive control group, 31.68% (p=0.018) and 32.87% (p=0.006) respectively, but its effect is inferior to ezetimibe 62.83% (p=0.000).Conclusions: Local calcium bentonite from West Java, Indonesia, has a significant lowering effect, however, the effect is less comparing to ezetimibe.

Abstract

Background: The number of motor vehicles usage is increasing every year, along with the increasing prevalence of motor vehicle accidents, and mortality due to traffic accidents in 2010. The driver’s visual impairment is one factor that affects this phenomenon. In Indonesia there are regulations regarding the minimum requirements for visual acuity in order to get a driving license. However, data of driver’s visual acuity have not been obtained yet. This study aimed to assess the public transport (angkot) driver’s visual acuity. Thus, the regulation and evaluation of the minimum requirements for a driver’s visual acuity can be applied optimally. Methods: This study used the categorical descriptive method with cross sectional design to assess visual acuity for four-wheeled motor vehicle (angkot) drivers in Jatinangor using RAAB E chart and pinhole. The variable that was described in this study was the visual acuity of 4-wheeled motor vehicle drivers in Jatinangor.Results: Results showed 86.5% of drivers fulfilled the minimum requirements of visual acuity for driving. Meanwhile, the rest did not fulfill the minimum requirements of visual acuity for driving.Conclusions: Most of the public transport drivers have already fulfilled the minimum requirement of visual acuity for driving. However the minimum requirement of visual acuity for drivers has not been implemented optimally since there were drivers who have not performed an eye examination when taking and extending their driving license.
