Traumatic Healing Program for Elementary School Student in Sumberdadi Village Post Online Learning During Pandemic Covid-19

Pandemic covid 19 has brought about big impact to all sectors including education. The online learning during pandemic brought great impact to the psychology of the elementary school student. In addition, it also changed the student habit. The government policy to conduct limited offline meeting can not make students directly go to school and receive the material from the teacher. This psychological condition must be prepared so that the students can and enjoy and follow the learning maximally. This preparation is made through traumatic healing program in the form of fun learning which can boost student’s literacy, sport and skill. This program used service-learning method and involved students and Sumberdadi people as well. The target of this program is elementary school student from Sumberdadi village. This program was held for two months. The result of this program showed that students were enthusiastic and full of spirit to join the program. Besides, the no longer complained about the activity of doing assignment from schools. It can be concluded that the students are ready to join limited offline meeting at school

Six Year's Experience Application of Dermal Matrix for Vascular Wounds

The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a dermal-epidermal matrix substitute (Integra Dermal Regeneration Template [IDRT]) for vascular wounds. Our primary end point was healing rate and recurrence rate. The secondary end point was comparing healing rate to bone expositions rate, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) and efficiency. We retrospectively reviewed all medical records of patients treated by IDRT from November 2016 to July 2021 by our team, to evaluate the effects of Integra in wound healing. The inclusion criteria was use of IDRT. We evaluated the ulcer and patient profile, use of hyperbaric therapy, negative-pressure therapy, healing and recurrence. A total of 40 patients were included; the median age was 65.5 years, 21 patients were female (52.5%) and 19 male (47.5%). The etiology of the wound was arterial in 10, mixed in 2, mycroangiopatic/hypertensive in 4, infectious in 4, traumatic in 13, and venous in 7. The global healing rate was 77.5%. Three (7.5%) patients have recently been submitted to the surgical procedure with use of the IDRT and still in follow-up. Thirty-seven (92.5%) used negative-pressure therapy during the treatment, 28 (75.6%) of them had their wounds healed and 9 (24.32%) did not. Eleven ulcers had bone exposure and sixteen had tendon exposure with healing rate of 90.9% and 81,35% respectively. Comorbidities were present in 34 (87,5%), in the most of cases hypertension in 26 (65%), diabetes in 24 (60%), and dyslipidemia in 18 (45%). Twelve (30%) of them needed revascularization before the IDRT and 14 (35%) patients realized HOT after. The HOT group had a healing hate of 92.85%, and no recurrence, in contrast to no-HOP that had respectively 69.23%, and 3.84% (P = .088). The arterial wounds had healing rate of 90% without recurrence and venous wound 71.4% and no recurrence. We had just one recurrence, in the mixed group (recurrence rate 50%). All patients with venous ulcer had yours varicose veins and/or obstructed veins treated and those with peripheral arterial disease were submitted to revascularization. In our experience, the use of IDRT is an important and helpful option in wound care. In addition, HOT may be an useful option in a limb salvage and wound healing program. We noticed a tendency of better healing in those patients in despite the absence statistical significance. The only patient who had recurrence of the ulcer did not follow the clinical treatment prescribed. We observed that the application of negative-pressure therapy could potentially increase the integration of dermal matrix and, could be a first-line treatment option for wounds with bone or tendon exposure.

Analysis of Urban Forest Healing Program Expected Values, Needs, and Preferred Components in Urban Forest Visitors with Diseases: A Pilot Survey.

Although the effectiveness of urban forest therapy has been studied and proven, most people are not well aware of the positive healing effects of urban forests that are easily accessible in daily life compared to the known healing effect of forests located outside urban areas. In addition, there has been a study on the analysis of urban forest healing program needs in the general population, but there is a lack of evidence on the expected values and needs of urban forest healing for people with diseases. Therefore, this pilot survey aimed to investigate the expected values, needs, and preferred components of urban forest healing programs in urban forest visitors with disease via an online user survey and see if there were any differences in the purpose of the urban forest visits and expected values of urban forest healing depending on the type of disease. The survey was conducted on 294 urban forest visitors with diseases. About 79% of respondents agreed with the healing effects of urban forest, however most respondents expected healing effects on mental health rather than on physical health (“mood change” was the highest with score of 4.43/5, followed by “reliving stress” (4.35/5) and “mental and physical stability” (4.31/5)). In addition, more than 82.0% of respondents agreed to participate in the program if a healing program for disease was developed. The results of the current pilot survey indicate that the purpose of the urban forest visits and expected values of urban forest healing were largely not different by the type of disease, and people with disease had a relatively lower awareness and lower expected values of urban forest healing effects on physical health, but high demand for the program. Urban forest therapy programs should be developed based on the specific clinical characteristics of the disease to maximize the effectiveness of the program. Additionally, policies should be implemented to promote the beneficial effects of urban forest healing not only for mental health but also for physical health.

Required Elements for Success and Benefits of Participation in Camps of an On-The-Land Program in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region

We report on a partnership between the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (IRC) and the University of Ottawa to determine whether/how on-the-land programming offered culturally safe experiences to meet the self-identified needs of the residents of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. This study draws upon the experiences of participants in the IRC’s land-based healing program, Project Jewel. We used postcolonial theory supported by a decolonization framework and critical Inuit studies to direct this community-based research methodology. The community advisory committee and the research advisory team co-determined semi-structured interviews, sharing circles, and photovoice as the chosen research methods for this project. Results indicate that land-based healing programs considerably enhanced cultural identity and meaningful connections to social support and Inuvialuit heritage in an “on-the-land” environment. Land-based programs may thus offer an alternative and effective healing opportunity for participants who feel uncomfortable or are not being adequately served by conventional community-based or residential treatment programs.

‘We’re also healers’: Elders leading the way in Aboriginal community healing.

The impact of colonisation, dispossession and marginalisation on the health of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples (hereafter respectfully referred to as Aboriginal people) is well documented. Aboriginal people continue to practice traditional healing, and in recent years have initiated numerous community-based healing programs around Australia. The Closing the Gap policy has also resulted in numerous community health programs. Despite these program and policy responses, Aboriginal people continue to experience persistent health disparities. The role of Aboriginal Elders in shaping Aboriginal health has yet to be a focus of research attention. This paper reports on a study that examined the contributions of Elders to the healing of Aboriginal people in a remote Tasmanian community. Our co-designed participatory action research methodology was undertaken with eight community Elders. Analysis of qualitative data derived through interviews and yarning circle discussions revealed an emerging theme of community healing; with Elders undertaking a suite of therapeutic practices, and promoting cultural values to strengthen Aboriginal identity, community cohesion and connections to Country. The Elders identified healing as an essential process in response to intergenerational trauma, racism and marginalisation. The findings inform policy stakeholders to consider the wisdom and voice of Elders in addressing Aboriginal community healing.

Agrin-Matrix Metalloproteinase-12 axis confers a mechanically competent microenvironment in skin wound healing

An orchestrated wound healing program drives skin repair via collective epidermal cell proliferation and migration. However, the molecular determinants of the tissue microenvironment supporting wound healing remain poorly understood. Herein we discover that proteoglycan Agrin is enriched within the early wound-microenvironment and is indispensable for efficient healing. Agrin enhances the mechanoperception of keratinocytes by augmenting their stiffness, traction stress and fluidic velocity fields in retaliation to bulk substrate rigidity. Importantly, Agrin overhauls cytoskeletal architecture via enhancing actomyosin cables upon sensing geometric stress and force following an injury. Moreover, we identify Matrix Metalloproteinase-12 (MMP12) as a downstream effector of Agrin’s mechanoperception. We also reveal a promising potential of a recombinant Agrin fragment as a bio-additive material that assimilates optimal mechanobiological and pro-angiogenic parameters by engaging MMP12 in accelerated wound healing. Together, we propose that Agrin-MMP12 pathway integrates a broad range of mechanical stimuli to coordinate a competent skin wound healing niche.

Evidence-Based Status of Forest Healing Program in South Korea.

Various effects of forest healing on health have been reported, but a certification system to assess the effectiveness of forest healing programs does not exist. In this study, a systematic review (SR) on the “health benefits of forests” and “meta-analysis of forest therapy” was conducted after analyzing the status and level of evidence of 75 forest healing programs that were conducted post-certification in South Korea. The SR for “health benefits of forests” distinguished between activities and time, resulting in 90.9% of walking activities for more than an hour under psychological health, and 100.0% of exercise activities for less than an hour under physiological health. However, the effect of indirect activities performed for more than an hour was unknown. Thus, we confirmed that many indoor activities in the field had low effect size or no established basis regarding the feasibility of its operation. The SR on “meta-analysis of forest therapy” to check whether the program was effective. The highest number of healing effects were obtained for blood pressure (32), followed by psychological depression (24). The findings of this can serve as baseline data to facilitate future development and dissemination of evidence-based forest healing programs.

Physiological and Psychological Assessments for the Establishment of Evidence-Based Forest Healing Programs.

This study aimed to establish a health and medical foundation for forest healing programs and provide a basis for developing an evaluation system for such programs. While the number of visitors to forests and interest in forest healing effects are increasing, few studies have examined the various indicators of the persistent changes in forest healing effects. Therefore, this study conducted pre-, post-, and follow-up experiments on 87 health and clinical indicators in a sample of 88 adolescent participants. The relationships between pre-, post-, and follow-up experiment results for each indicator were analyzed. Of the 87 indicators, 46 showed significant changes, including systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, cholesterol, serotonin, vitamin D, CD16+CD56 count, interferon-γ, resilience, and self-esteem. The findings are significant for studying diverse participants and indicators and lay the foundation for developing forest healing programs by clarifying aspects such as the indicators suitable for short-term observation versus the indicators requiring long-term observation. Based on these analyses, the results of this study are expected to be useful when conducting research to establish an evidence-based forest healing program in the future.

농촌 치유관광 프로그램 속성 만족이 주의회복과 행동의도에 미치는 영향: 인적서비스의 매개효과와 연령의 조절효과

As health-seeking tourism is on the increase worldwide, various healing programs using natural-based healing resources have been developed. The study aims to examine the structural relationships between the program satisfaction attributes, attention restoration, and behavioral intention of rural healing tourists. In particular, the study focuses on mediating effect of personnel services and moderating effect of age.<BR> A total of 433 rural healing program participants from the seven rural healing tourism villages answered the surveys. The results indicated that program satisfaction attributes(i.e., relaxation, interaction, natural-seeking) had a positive effect on attention restoration through personnel services rather than directly, which in turn affect behavioral intention. Tourists’ age also moderated the relationships between program satisfaction and personnel services. The results of the study imply that personnel services play an important role in effectively increasing healing tourists’ attention restoration and intention. Findings suggest that different strategy based on age should be developed in order to enhance the effects of rural healing programs.

Qualitative Content Analysis of Forest Healing Experience in Forest Life

Background and objective The purpose of this study is to analyze the case of healing experience for lifestyle and environmental diseases through life and activities in the forest from the perspecitive of critical realism, and how the causal power and mechanism of the healing experience relate to forest healing factors and programs. Methods 93 video data of people who started living in the forest for disease treatment were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis method from the perspective of critical realism. Categories for analysis include general categories (age, duration, occupation, disease name), forest therapy categories (climate therapy, plant therapy, water therapy, diet therapy, kinesiotherapy, psychotherapy), and other categories (ecology, learning and management, life tools), etc., and the unit of analysis is the context unit. Results 1) The diseases that motivated life in the forest were digestive system diseases, lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine system diseases, and various lifestyle-related diseases and environmental diseases in similar proportions. This indicates that forest life does not have specificity to respond to specific diseases, but provides treatment and recovery for all lifestyle and environmental diseases. 2) Among the forest therapies, climate therapy and plant therapy are related to the climatic and residential environment in the forest where ‘natural persons’ live. And others such as water therapy, diet therapy, kinesiotherapy, psychotherapy indicate the change from the lifestyle that caused the disease to the lifestyle for treatment and recovery. Conclusion Life and activities in the forest provide an environment for treatment and recovery in which the healing principles such as aromatherapy, nutritional and dietary therapy, kinesiotherapy, and emotional psychotherapy are integrated in the ‘real world’.

Experimental Investigation of the Performance of a Hybrid Self-Healing System in Porous Asphalt under Fatigue Loadings.

Self-healing asphalt, which is designed to achieve autonomic damage repair in asphalt pavement, offers a great life-extension prospect and therefore not only reduces pavement maintenance costs but also saves energy and reduces CO2 emissions. The combined asphalt self-healing system, incorporating both encapsulated rejuvenator and induction heating, can heal cracks with melted binder and aged binder rejuvenation, and the synergistic effect of the two technologies shows significant advantages in healing efficiency over the single self-healing method. This study explores the fatigue life extension prospect of the combined healing system in porous asphalt. To this aim, porous asphalt (PA) test specimens with various healing systems were prepared, including: (i) the capsule healing system, (ii) the induction healing system, (iii) the combined healing system and (iv) a reference system (without extrinsic healing). The fatigue properties of the PA samples were characterized by an indirect tensile fatigue test and a four-point bending fatigue test. Additionally, a 24-h rest period was designed to activate the built-in self-healing system(s) in the PA. Finally, a damaging and healing programme was employed to evaluate the fatigue damage healing efficiency of these systems. The results indicate that all these self-healing systems can extend the fatigue life of porous asphalt, while in the combined healing system, the gradual healing effect of the released rejuvenator from the capsules may contribute to a better induction healing effect in the damaging and healing cycles.

Local delivery of FTY720 induces neutrophil activation through chemokine signaling in an oronasal fistula model

PurposeCleft palate repair surgeries lack a regenerative reconstructive option and, in many cases, develop complications including oronasal fistula (ONF). Our group has developed a novel murine phenocopy of ONF to study the oral cavity wound healing program. Using this model, our team previously identified that delivery of FTY720 on a nanofiber scaffold had a unique immunomodulatory effect directing macrophages and monocytes into a pro-regenerative state during ONF healing. Here, the objective of this study was to determine the effects of local biomaterial-based FTY720 delivery in the ONF model on the early bulk gene expression and neutrophil phenotypic response within the regenerating tissue.MethodsUsing a mouse model of ONF formation, a palate defect was created and was treated with FTY720 nanofiber scaffolds or (blank) vehicle control nanofibers. At 1 and 3 days post-implantation, ONF oral mucosal tissue from the defect region was collected for RNA sequencing analysis or flow cytometry. For the RNA-seq expression profiling, intracellular pathways were assessed using the KEGG Pathway database and Gene Ontology (GO) Terms enrichment interactive graph. To assess the effects of FTY720 on different neutrophil subpopulations, flow cytometry data was analyzed using pseudotime analysis based on Spanning-tree Progression Analysis of Density-normalized Events (SPADE).ResultsRNA sequencing analysis of palate mucosa injured tissue identified 669 genes that were differentially expressed (DE) during the first 3 days of ONF wound healing after local delivery of FTY720, including multiple genes in the sphingolipid signaling pathway. Evaluation of the DE genes at the KEGG Pathway database also identified the inflammatory immune response pathways (chemokine signaling, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and leukocyte transendothelial migration), and the Gene Ontology enrichment analysis identified neutrophil chemotaxis and migration terms. SPADE dendrograms of CD11b+Ly6G+ neutrophils at both day 1 and day 3 post-injury showed significantly distinct subpopulations of neutrophils in oral mucosal defect tissue from the FTY720 scaffold treatment group compared to the vehicle control group (blank). Increased expression of CD88 and Vav1, among other genes, were found and staining of the ONF area demonstrated increased VAV1 staining in FTY720‐treated healing oral mucosa.ConclusionTreatment of oral mucosal defects using FTY720 scaffolds is a promising new immunotherapy to improve healing outcomes and reducing ONF formation during cleft palate surgical repair. Local delivery of FTY720 nanofiber scaffolds during ONF healing significantly shifted early gene transcription associated with immune cell recruitment and modulation of the immune microenvironment results in distinct neutrophil subpopulations in the oral mucosal defect tissue that provides a critical shift toward pro-regenerative immune signaling.
