Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was reported as having potent antimicrobial properties. However, the literature showed conflicting results. Therefore, we aim to investigate the effectiveness of topical autologous PRP as prophylaxis to prevent wound infection. We searched major electronic databases such as MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and Web of Science to identify RCT studies regarding this topic. The selection of included studies followed the PRISMA guidelines. We included ten RCTs comprising 1257 participants. In general, PRP showed no effect in reducing the risk of wound infection (RR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.66–1.06; p=0.14). However, subgroup analysis based on wound characteristic showed that PRP significantly reduced wound infection risks in acute wounds (RR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.58–0.99; p=0.04). Meanwhile, activation of PRP had no effect in reducing wound infection risks (p=0.77). In conclusion, we suggest routine autologous topical PRP application in acute wound care due to PRP antimicrobial properties and regenerative potential. © 2021 UPM Press. All rights reserved. |

Prostate adenocarcinoma accounts for majority of prostate cancer cases, and it was found to be highly radioresistant. Gallic acid is a phenolic acid naturally occurring in many plants, reported to exhibit biological activities in eliminating cancer cell lines and xenografts. The purpose of this study is to review gallic acid as a potential radiosensitizer agent in prostate cancer treatment. Article search was conducted in PubMed, EBSCO, and Scopus. 11 studies using different cell lines including DU145, PC-3, LNCaP, and 22Rv1 xenograft of human prostate cancer were reviewed in this paper. Gallic acid acts as a radiosensitizer mainly by increasing caspase-3 and caspase-9 activation resulting in apoptosis, while also reducing intracellular CDKs, cyclins, and cdc25 phosphatases ultimately causing G2-M cell cycle arrest. Gallic acid has a potential to be a new radiosensitizer compound in prostate cancer treatment. Additional clinical studies using gallic acid derivatives with lower hydrophilicity are needed. © 2021 UPM Press. All rights reserved. |

Return to work assessment (RTWA) has been performed to a radiographer assistant suffering a hemianopsia due to an ischemic stroke. Stroke occurred two months prior to the examination. The general condition of the patient was good. The systemic examination was unremarkable except the presence of a partial vision loss in the left eye and often feeling fatigue and down. Perimetry Full-field 120 Point Screening Test confirmed a left temporal hemianopsia while Patient Health Questionnaire’s score (PHQ-9) indicated a moderate depression. The two conditions were not fully compatible with the job demand of a radiographer assistant, which required a complete and clear visual field as well as a good mental status. Risk assessment indicated that the patient might encounter health and safety issues if he resumed duty without work adjustment. The clinic still wanted to employ the patient and agreed to provide support. The patient was declared ‘fit’ to resume his duty with some recommendations. © 2021 UPM Press. All rights reserved. |

Introduction: Preterm infants are vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies, thus optimal nutrition is crucial in promoting growth among these infants. However, socio-cultural complexities and limited resources in the Asia-Pacific demands a judicious approach in implementing nutritional care that is pragmatic to align with current evidence-based recommendations. Methods: A roundtable meeting was held in Jakarta in 2017 for key opinion leaders in neonatology from the Asia- Pacific to discuss issues when delivering nutritional care in this region and the unique circumstances encountered. Results: Priority areas discussed include: (i) breast milk feeding, (ii) donor milk bank/sharing, (iii) human milk fortification, and (iv) nutrient-enriched breast milk substitutes. Socio-cultural practices impeding breastfeeding, insufficient maternity leave, the religious issue of milk kinship, and limited availability of specialty nutritional care products were among the most challenging factors. Conclusion: The group proposed recommendations to enhance breastfeeding uptake, accessibility to a complete portfolio of specialty nutritional care products, and encouraging more active collaborations to engage policy makers in addressing these contemporary issues. © 2021 |

Background: Third-molar extraction is a common oral surgical procedure that can cause complications. Although rare, nerve injuries that result in permanent neuropathy can occur and include a variety of complaints such as sensory disorders, taste-sensation disorders, speech articulation disorders, etc. Acupuncture is one of several nonpharmacologic therapies that has played a role in managing neuropathic lesions and has been proven to produce good results. Case: A 44-year-old woman with postodontectomy neuropathy developed paresthesia, dysarthria, xerostomia, dysgeusia, pain in the gums and lower right jaw, a chewing disorder, and cephalgia. Her numerical rating scale (NRS) results were: lower right gum pain, 3/10; numbness of the tongue, 4/10; and headache, 1/10. A physical examination revealed dysarthria, a decreased sense of sharpness and dullness in the right mandibular nerve branches, decreased right masseter muscle contractions, and tenderness on the right GB 20 point. Electromyography revealed partial functional lesions in the postganglion at the right fifth cranial nerve. She had body acupuncture therapy at GV 20, GB 20, ST 5, ST 6, ST 7, CV 23, LI 4, HT 5, ST 36, LU 7, and KI 6; ear acupuncture at the Parotid and Shenmen points; and treatment with the Tan Balance Method. Results: After 3 consecutive sessions of acupuncture therapy, this patient's symptoms were reduced. Conclusions: Acupuncture was helpful for reducing paresthesia, dysarthria, xerostomia, dysgeusia, gum and lower right jaw pain, a chewing disorder, and cephalgia in this patient with postodontectomy neuropathy. Clinical trials are needed to support the findings in this case. © Copyright 2021, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 2021. |

Objective: Obesity, a condition with serious complications, needs special attention. It is a complex and multifactorial problem and regulation of calorie balance involving various humoral and central factors is the main key for managing obesity. In addition, there is an increase in various proinflammatory cytokines and an increase in oxidative stress. There is a need to discover a useful therapy for obesity management. The goal of this review was to examine the literature on electroacupuncture (EA) as a potential therapy. Methods: This review explores the literature on EA, which has proven to be effective for inducing weight loss in experimental human and animal studies. Both continuous and dense-disperse EA waves have their own roles in hormone regulation of obesity using ST 25, CV 9, CV 12, CV 4, SP 6, ST 36, and ST 44; this is discussed the associated mechanism related to this is through suppression of various orexigenic peptides, enhancement of anorexigenic peptides, suppression of inflammatory factors, and improvement in the balance of pro-oxidants and antioxidants. Conclusions: The absence of another definitive therapy for obesity and EA's minimal side-effects make it a potential therapy for managing obesity. © Copyright 2021, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 2021. |

Background: Infertility affects ∼15%-20% of couples. Of the 16.7% infertility rate reported based on Word Health Organisation questionnaire data, 6.4% of cases are associated with male factors. Male infertility can result from abnormal semen parameters; oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) is the most common diagnosis. Acupuncture is an ancient method that has been used for centuries to treat and prevent various conditions. In modern medicine, it is gaining popularity as a complementary infertility therapy. Case: A 41-year-old male presented to the Medical Acupuncture Department of Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (in Jakarta, Indonesia) because he wanted to have a child. His semen was analyzed, and he was diagnosed with severe OAT. Manual acupuncture therapy was performed at CV 3, CV 4, CV 5, CV 6, CV 7, ST 29, SP 6, SP 3, ST 36, and KI 3, alternating with KI 7 5 days per week and at LR 8 once per week, for a total of 28 sessions. Results: Semen analysis after 2 series of manual acupuncture treatments revealed improvement, especially in sperm motility, from 25% to 33% and then to 67% after the first and second serial therapies, respectively, changing the diagnosis from severe OAT to severe oligoteratozoospermia. Conclusions: Manual acupuncture combined with medication improves male fertility, especially sperm motility. © Copyright 2021, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 2021. |
