“…Not only is the main commodity, but bananas also provide health benefits through various parts of the plant, such as the peel, stem/pseudo stem, and flower (bark). Several previous studies showed that there are bio-active compounds such as flavonoids, lycopene acid, beta carotene, tannins, and saponins contained in bananas that have antibacterial, antiinflammatory, antineoplastic, hepato-protective, and antioxidant properties (Kraithong, & Issara, 2021;Sowmya, Sree, Patil, & Mehta, 2022;Wang, Jin, Dai, Han, Han, & Bao, 2016;Zulkefli, Che Zahari, Sayuti, Kamarudin, Saad, Hamezah, & Sarian, 2023). In the field of traditional medicine, bananas are also used for the treatment of various diseases, such as diarrhea, diabetes, problems in the intestines, enteritis accompanied by diarrhea and wound healing (Lakshmi, Agarwal, Ansari, Mahdi, & Srivastava, 2014;Wenas, Aliya, & Anjani, 2020).…”

Background: Balbisiana is a plant that contains flavonoids, which are antioxidants with high anti-inflammatory activity. This antioxidant activity can help the wound-healing process. Purpose: To determine the anti-inflammatory effect of balbisiana extract to help wound healing. Method: The study used 15 rats, which were divided into five groups: a positive control group, a negative control group, a 10% balbisiana extract group, a 20% balbisiana extract group, and a 40% balbisiana extract group. Statistical analysis was performed using the Shapiro-Wilk test to test the normality of the distribution of continuous quantitative data. Levene's test was then used to assess the statistical homogeneity of variance between groups. Welch's One-Way ANOVA was used to analyze the data. Post-hoc analysis was performed using the Games-Howell test. Results: The results of the study showed that balbisiana extract had significant anti-inflammatory activity, especially at a concentration of 40%. This was demonstrated by the results of the study, which showed that rats treated with 40% balbisiana extract had significantly improved wound healing compared to the control groups. Conclusion: This study shows that balbisiana extract has anti-inflammatory activity in helping the wound healing process.

Harmony between facial complexion and gingival health goes hand in hand. Gingival depigmentation is an aesthetic correction of hyperactive melanocytes in gingival tissues that lead to hyperpigmentation. Current study compares depigmentation, pain scores, and itching with scalpel technique and nonsurgical intramucosal Vitamin C injection. 30 individuals in the age range of 18–40 years conscious of dark gums were randomly allocated to test and control group by lottery method. Thorough Phase I therapy was performed one week before the procedure. Area and intensity of depigmentation were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively; pain score, itching, and repigmentation percentage were the postoperative parameters. After 24 hrs, test group showed significantly lesser VAS score for pain as compared to control group. There was no statistically significant difference in preoperative area of pigmentation between the test and control group ( p = 0.936 ). Postoperatively also, there was no statistically significant difference in area of pigmentation between the test and control group ( p = 0.932 ). For comparing area of pigmentation, an independent t-test was applied and Mann–Whitney test was used for differentiating the intensity of pigmentation, repigmentation, and VAS score between the groups. The study concluded that Vitamin C mesotherapy and scalpel technique showed comparable results in reduction of areas and intensity of gingival hyperpigmentation.
