Abstract

Reduction of nerve growth factor expression in diabetic ulcer affects overall wound healing. Earthworm (Pheretima aspergillum) can stimulate schwann cell proliferation and migration to support axonal elongation. The objective of this study is to compare wound healing functions in diabetic ulcer of rats using earthworm extract, hydrogel, and conventional dressing. This study applied a true-experimental posttest only controlled group design. 21 days after treatment, the group receiving earthworm extract had a significantly higher percentage of wound contraction and axonal density compared to the control group (p<0.05). These results show that earthworm extract can promote wound healing in diabetic ulcer. Keywords: Diabetic Ulcer, Earthworm (Pheretima aspergillum), Wound Contraction, Peripheral Nerve Regeneration.

Abstract

Background: Diabetic ulcer is the result of serious microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus that is caused by vascular insufficiency, resulting in dry skin, loss of taste, and a decrease in the number of hair follicles. Earthworm (Pheretima aspergillum) has a bioactive component of IGF-1 (insulin like growth factor 1), which can stimulate cell growth and survival. IGF-1 is involved in hair follicle growth by regulating cell proliferation and migration through the cellular mechanism of its receptor (IGF - 1R). This study aimed to determine the effect of earthworm extract on the increase of hair follicles number in rats induced diabetic ulcer stage II. Methods: This study used a true experimental posttest only controlled group design. Samples were randomly selected, divided into five groups: Normal Saline as a negative control group, Hydrogel as a positive control group, and the three treatment groups received earthworm extract via topical, oral, and topical-oral. Ulcer treatment is done for 21 days, on day 22, rats were euthanized. The numbers of hair follicles in skin tissue connecting to nervous fibers were identified using silver impregnation stain. Results: The results showed that the treatment groups that received earthworm extract had significantly higher number of hair follicles as compared to the control groups (p=0.000). The administration of earthworm extract via topical has an optimal effect on the increase of hair follicles numbers. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the extract of earthworm (Pheretima aspergillum) can increase the growth of hair follicles in rats diabetic models. Keywords: diabetic ulcer, earthworm (Pheretima aspergillum), hair follicles.

Abstract

Abstract : Disease patterns change in the World led to significant increases of non infectious diseases, one of which is DM hyperglycemia with Indonesian rank fifth in the World. Uncontrolled DM hyperglycemia will lead an increase in osmolarity that will disrupt the bodys fluid and electrolyte balance. The primary management of hyperglycaemia according to ADA is by fluid rehydration therapy. Successful replacement of rehydration fluids can be seen by monitoring continuous and sustained of hemodynamics. This study aims is to analyze the changes in hemodynamics in hyperglycemia patients receiving rehydration therapy.This study included into comparative studies with a cohort approach. The number of samples in this study as many as 56 respondents. Date collection using consecutive sampling technique. From the result of the research based on the bivariate analysis test, there is no change in the hemodynamic variables with p value for each hemodynamic research variable more than 0.005 (p value of pulse frequency variable = 0,825, p value of respiratory frequency = 0,434, p value of systolic blood pressure = 0,534, p value of oxygen saturation = 0,007 and p value of consciousness = 0,368). Changes in osmolarity occur due to a decrease in blood glucose levels after fluid rehydration. This further proves that rehydration therapy is very effective in lowering blood glucose levels (hyperosmolarity) in the blood. Continuous osmolarity and hemodynamic examination is needed for hyperglycemic patients receiving rehydration therapy to determine the effect of rehydration therapy and to know the side effects of rehydration therapy so that prevention can be done to avoid problems causing emergency situations.Keywords : Rehydration Therapy, Osmolarity, Hemodynamics Abstrak : Perubahan pola penyakit di dunia dengan angka penyakit tidak menular mengalami peningkatan. Penyakit tidak menular di Indonesia, yang meningkat salah satunya adalah penyakit DM dengan Indonesia berada pada peringkat ke lima di Dunia. DM Hiperglikemia yang tidak terkontrol akan menyebabkan peningkatan osmolaritas yang akan menganggu keseimbangan cairan dan elektrolit tubuh. Tatalaksana utama hiperglikemia menurut ADA adalah dengan terapi rehidrasi cairan. Keberhasilan penggantian cairan rehidrasi dapat dilihat dengan melakukan pemantauan secara berkesinambungan dan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perubahan hemodinamika tubuh pada pasien hiperglikemia yang mendapatkan terapi rehidrasi. Penelitian ini termasuk kedalam penelitian komparatif dengan pendekatan cohort. Jumlah sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak  56 responden dengan pengambilan data menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling. Dari hasil penelitian berdasarkan uji analisis bivariat tidak terlihat perubahan pada variabel hemodinamika tubuh dengan p value untuk masing-masing variabel penelitian hemodinamika lebih dari 0,005 (p value variabel frekuensi nadi = 0,825,  p value frekuensi pernapasan = 0,434, p value variabel tekanan darah sistolik  = 0,534, p value variabel saturasi oksigen = 0,007 dan p value variabel kesadaran = 0,368). Perubahan osmolaritas terjadi  akibat adanya penurunan kadar glukosa darah setelah dilakukan rehidrasi cairan. Hal ini semakin membuktikan bahwa terapi rehidrasi sangat efektif dalam menurunkan kadar glukosa darah (hiperosmolaritas) di dalam darah. Pemeriksaan osmolaritas dan hemodinamika yang berkesinambungan sangat diperlukan bagi pasien hiperglikemia yang mendapatkan terapi rehidrasi untuk mengetahui efek terapi rehidrasi maupun untuk mengetahui efek samping dari terapi rehidrasi sehingga dapat dilakukan upaya pencegahan agar tidak menjadi permasalahan yang menimbulkan situasi kegawat daruratan.Kata kunci : Terapi Rehidrasi, Osmolaritas, Hemodinamika
