Formulasi Krim Ekstrak Etanol Herba Krokot (Portulacca oleracea L.) sebagai Tabir Surya

The use of sunscreen is a way to prevent the adverse effects of sun exposure to the skin. Sunscreens that contain synthetic chemical compounds can cause allergies to the skin. Therefore it is necessary to look for other ingredients that have activities as sunscreens, one of which is by using natural ingredients, especially from plants such as purslane herbs that have these activities. This type of research is an experiment to formulate cream of ethanol extract of purslane herbs as sunscreens with concentrations of 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1.0%. The thick extract of purslane herb is formulated as a cream with a base of stearic acid cream, cetyl alcohol, glycerin, triethanolamine, with nipagin and nipasol preservatives. Furthermore, the cream was carried out several tests, namely organoleptic test, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, stability, cream type, and SPF value in vitro. The test results found that the formulated cream had a light brown-green color, with a distinctive odor and half solid consistency. A cream that is made homogeneous, all creams are alkaline. All the spread cream meets the requirements (more than 4 cm). All cream formulas are stable because there is no separation in the cycling test. This type of cream is a type of oil in water that is easy to wash. SPF value of F0 cream (0% purslane ethanol extract) was 0.620±0.070, F2 (0.5% extract) 4.341±0.565, F3 (0.75% extract) 5.289±0.644, and F3 (1.0% extract) 7,862±1,564.

Novel method of zinc ions supplementing with fermented and unfermented ice cream with using PEF

SummaryBacteria of Lactobacillus rhamnosus B 442 were enriched with zinc ions using a pulsed electric field technology. The strain was added to the mix and used for the production of two types of ice cream: unfermented and fermented. Zinc content in the ice cream varied from 0.962 mg·100 g−1 to 1.81 mg·100 g−1. Differences were observed in some properties of unfermented and fermented ice cream. Lower fat content (from 4.86% to 4.92%) and lower hardness (3.88 N–4.32 N) were determined for the fermented ice cream, whereas the unfermented samples had higher meltability (1880s–1936s) and adhesiveness (from 29.66 Ns to −28.27 Ns). There was no statistically significant effect of the type of ice cream and Zn2+ addition on protein, ash and carbohydrate content in the final product. The viability of the bacteria was at a high level (4.09·108–3.26·1012).

A Case of Lean Idiopathic Hirsutism not Having Insulin Resistant Unresponsive to Conventional Treatment for Hirsutism-A Case Report

Hirsutism is the presence of terminal (coarse) hairs in females in a male like pattern, which affects 5-10% of women of the sex steroids androgens are the most important in determining the type and distribution of hairs over the human body. Under the influence of androgens hair follicles that are producing vellus type hairs can be stimulated to begin producing terminal hairs. The activity of local 5 alpha reductase (5 alpha RA) determines to a great extent the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and consequently the effects of androgens on hair follicles. The commonest cause is an ovulation, secondary to PCOS, a fairly common disorder, affecting 6-10% of women of reproductive age group. Besides PCOS other hormonal causes like thyroid hormone deficiency, growth hormone deficiency or hyperprolacinaemia, or hyperinsulinemia or IR may act on their own or synergistically increasing adrenal androgens. A serum T (Testosterone) over 2ng/ml warrants exploring for an androgen secreting tumor. Other causes include non classical adrenal hyperplasia. Occasionally it may not be because of any these causes when it is termed idiopathic hirsutism (IH). Normally these patients of IH respond to 5 alpha reductase inhibitors. Recently high incidence of association of IR has been reported in lean IH. We report a case of lean IH not having IR and very unresponsive to treatment although we are trying to follow her up before undertaking any type of eflornithine cream or laser therapy.

Formulation of Antiacne Cream Dosage Form Containing Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) Pericarp Ethanolic Extract

Abstract. The aim of this study was to formulate ethanolic extract of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) pericarp (EEMP) in the antiacne cream dosage form. The formulae were made with 3 varied concentrations of 0.5%, 1.5% and 4.5%. The tests carried out in this study were organoleptic cream preparations (odor, color, texture), homogeneity, pH, determination of the type of cream, spreadability, and the antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis. The results of physical property evaluations showed that the EEMP indicated the pH value of 6, the spredability of the cream increased along with the increasing length of storage time. Duncan Test on the measurement of diameter dispersibility based on storage time showed that there were significant differences between the spreadability of the cream B and C. The cream produced was easy to wash indicating oil in water (o/w) type. The results of antibacterial activity test applying agar diffusion method using Mueller Hinton medium Agar (MHA) indicated that the inhibition zones of formulae II and III were 5.2 and 6 mm, respectively. Whereas, the formula I as well as the negative control showed no inhibition zones. It can be concluded that the EEMP can be formulated as an antiacne cream. The best cream formula was the formula II with the results of physical properties test were quite stable and able to produce inhibition zone against Staphylococcus epidermidis.

These findings indicated that type of cream might influence the physical characteristic and irritation index of S. aromaticum essential oil cream.

Personalized Medicine: Regulation of Genes in Human Skin Ageing

As people grow older, the common conditions and developments that happen by aging are skin changes. For example, over period of time, the skin becomes drier and thin, and other changes will start to occur such as appearing spots, decreasing elasticity, increasing stiffening and appearance of wrinkles on skin. There are many medical procedures which can be helpful to mitigate skin changing process. Most of the commercialized cosmetic products have been created for the majority of customer’s population. For instance, the use of many anti-aging creams may or may not prevent or even treat the changes of skin. Therefore, the effect of these products, and the reaction of the body is not the same for different people. The causes of this difference can be related to many parameters such as environment, nutrition, etc. Therefore, the human genome book can be the best source of finding the most accurate solution. The appropriate type of cream for an individual’s skin type can be verified and used accordingly. Global gene expression profiling (commonly called genomics) is an approach that can be used for the identification of compounds for inclusion in cosmetic formulations that improve the appearance of aged skin. In this study, the evaluations of all genes and their related antioxidants, which lead to skin aging have been studied. The main goal is to match the appropriate medical procedure with the correct type of cream.

Prevention and Treatment of Radiation Induced Skin Damage in Breast Cancer

Introduction: Skin toxicity is a frequent side effect of radio and chemo-treatments in patients treated for breast cancer after conservative surgery. The aim of this paper is to report our experience in the management of skin toxicity evaluating radiotherapy planning and using preventive local aids. Materials and Methods: We have observed 300 patients undergoing radiotherapy. All received the prescription of a prophylactic moisturizing cream. Skin toxicity was valuated according to Acute Radiation Morbidity Scoring Criteria of the RTOG. Moreover, in a subgroup of 100 patients, we correlated the study of breast volume and features of treatment plans, with the addition of topic prophylactic treatment, using an oral therapy based on Resveratrol, Lycopene, Vitamin C and Anthocyanins (Ixor?). In another subgroup, 100 patients were subjected to corneometry assessing numerically skin hydration before, during and after radiotherapy. Results: In all patients, we related skin toxicity and the type of cream used. All patients completed the radiotherapy treatment, and G4 cutaneous toxicity was not observed in any of them. In patients treated with topic treatment and therapy based on Resveratrol, Lycopene, Vitamin C and Anthocyanins (Ixor?), the protective effect of (Ixor?) is more detected in patients with PTV (Planning Target Volume)

Influence of inulin on chemical, sensorial and survival of L. Acidophilus in symbiotic frozen yogurt with reduced-lactose:

<p>Recently, the dairy industry has given special attention to development of products containing low lactose content, to meet the needs of consumers intolerant to this sugar type. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of adding inulin on chemical, sensory and survival of probiotics in symbiotic frozen yogurt with reduced lactose content during the storage period. The hydrolysis degree achieved using 0.8 g of lactase per liter milk was about 97.54%, being below the limit quantification (0.5%) and being considered as a food for special purposes. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the enzyme lactase effectively reduced the lactose content in frozen developed, not by changing the physicochemical and viability of probiotic culture. The addition of inulin caused a significant change (p<0.05) in sensory attributes evaluated and promoted the growth of <em>L. acidophilus</em>, showing that this type of edible ice cream is a good option for the dairy market, catering lactose intolerant consumers.</p><p> </p><p>DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14685/rebrapa.v3i1.90</p>

The effect of food and ice cream on the adsorption capacity of paracetamol to high surface activated charcoal: in vitro studies.

The effect of added food mixture (as if food was present in the stomach of an intoxicated patient) or 4 different types of ice cream (added as a flavouring and lubricating agent) on the adsorption of paracetamol (acetaminophen) to 2 formulations of activated charcoal was determined in vitro and compared with results from previous investigations showing a maximum adsorption capacity to the two activated charcoal-water slurries at about 0.62-0.72 g paracetamol/g activated charcoal. Activated charcoal (Carbomix or Norit Ready-To-Use), simulated gastric (pH 1.2) or intestinal (pH 7.2) fluid, and paracetamol were mixed with either food mixture or ice cream followed by one hr incubation. The maximum adsorption capacity of paracetamol to activated charcoal was calculated using Langmuirs adsorption isotherm. Paracetamol concentration was analyzed using high pressure liquid chromatography. In the presence of food, the paracetamol adsorption capacity of the 2 activated charcoals was reduced by max. 19% (P<0.05) for Carbomix(R) and by max. 11% (P<0.05) for Norit Ready-to-use compared to control without food (Hoegberg et al. 2002). Depending on which type of ice cream was mixed with the charcoal, the reductions compared to control (Hoegberg et al. 2002) varied between 11% and 26%. Even though a reduction in drug adsorption to activated charcoal was observed when food mixture or ice cream was added, the remaining adsorption capacity of both types of activated charcoal theoretically was still able to provide an effective gastrointestinal decontamination.

The choice of fat-free vs. regular-fat fudge: the effects of liking for the alternative and the restraint status

Non-restrained and restrained American women (N=157) chose a portion of a fat-free or regular-fat hot fudge, to be eaten on a portion of fat-free or regular-fat (depending on the experimental condition) ice cream. The subjects had tasted and rated samples of both fudge and ice cream earlier in the same session and, prior to the choice, they were informed of their own hedonic ratings of both fudges and of the respective fat contents (“fat-free” vs. “regular-fat”). The higher the hedonic difference (fat-freeminus regular-fat) between hot fudge samples and the higher the individual restraint score, the more likely was the choice of the fat-free option. Also, the less hungry the subjects were prior to testing, the more likely they were to choose the fat-free version. On average, the hedonic difference between the hot fudge samples was roughly −0·5 for those choosing the fat-free option, while the corresponding value for subjects choosing the regular-fat version was −3 (9-point scale). The type of ice cream did not affect the choice. The data demonstrate the effects of a food (its hedonic quality), person (restrained status), and context (perceived hunger) on food choice.

Consumer perception of the nature and quality of home‐made and commercial dairy ice cream

An important consumer opinion of some food products relates to the perception of “home‐made quality”. This study examined consumer perception of this aspect in dairy ice cream along with product knowledge and consumption habits and influences. A questionnaire was delivered followed by tasting of commercial products and home‐made formulations. All of the participants (n = 105) consumed dairy ice cream and 62 per cent named it as their most frequent type of ice cream, with sensory quality being the most important reason influencing choice. Product knowledge was relatively high with 74 per cent of respondents claiming to know two out of three product characteristics. Consumer opinion was divided on a pre‐stated preference for “home‐made” or “commercial”, with 56 per cent being in favour of the home‐made form, which was valued because of an assumed superior taste, quality and a more intimate knowledge of ingredients. Commercial quality also required “good taste”, but its convenience value was very important. On blind tasting, the degree of liking for both forms was usually high, but correct identification (home‐made vs commercial) levels were low. Subjects with previous experience of home‐made ice cream had a more positive attitude to it, and had more success in distinguishing it from the commercial form. Generally, home‐made quality was viewed as a desirable feature of dairy ice cream.

Fine Pitch Solder Creams

There is continuous pressure in the electronics industry towards miniaturisation. This has led to the development of fine pitch soldered devices, and this paper considers the concept of solder creams which use a restrictive flux system as suitable for this work, rather than those that employ finer powder. It is shown that the latter type of solder cream must use metal powders with a higher oxide content which will require the cream to contain a more active flux.

Effectiveness of topical steroids in the control of radiation dermatitis: A randomised trial using 1% hydrocortisone cream and 0.05% clobetasone butyrate (Eumovate)

Radiation dermatitis often presents as a problem for patients and radiotherapists during treatment. Topical corticosteroids have been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect in the treatment of many skin diseases and are commonly prescribed during a course of radiation treatment. A comparison of two different steroid creams, 1% hydrocortisone cream and 0.05% clobetasone butyrate (Eumovate), in a double blind trial was carried out in 54 patients undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer. 'The cream' was administered when patients reached a given dose of 2000 rad (or earlier if required) whether a skin reaction was present or not. The aim of the trial was to evaluate the general effectiveness of steroids in controlling radiation dermatitis and whether one type of cream was superior to the other. The majority of patients using either cream derived benefit in its soothing effect. There was, however, a significant difference in the intensity of reactions seen, patients using clobetasone butyrate developed more severe radiation reactions despite both groups having similar radiation doses. The possibility of two differing populations having different responses to radiation is discussed as is the 'breakthrough phenomenon' described in the literature. It is concluded that neither cream should be used as first choice in the control of radiation dermatitis.
