ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MAGNESIUM LEVELS AND THE SEVERITY OF ACNE VULGARIS

Introduction: Acne vulgaris is a cosmetic problem that often occurs in 80% of the population, especially reproductive age (12-25 years). Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of pilosebaceous follicles with multifactorial causes and clinical manifestations of blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Magnesium plays a role in increasing skin hydration, increasing skin permeability, barrier repair, and facilitating skin proliferation and epidermal differentiation to reduce inflammation. Hypomagnesium is thought to increase inflammation and affect androgen hormones, especially testosterone, which plays a role in increasing the hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands in the pathogenesis of Acne Vulgaris.Purpose: To determine the difference in magnesium levels in each severity degree of acne vulgaris, namely mild, moderate, and severe.Method: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique is purposive sampling with a total sample of 30 people. Data retrieval in this study was carried out using photo taking of three sides of the face (front, right oblique, left oblique). Then proceed with a three cc venous blood draw to measure magnesium levels in the blood.Results: This study found a significant difference between magnesium levels and the severity of acne vulgaris with a value of p = 0.032 (p <0.05). Magnesium levels in severe acne vulgaris were higher than moderate and mild acne vulgaris. However, magnesium levels in all samples were still within the normal range. There was a moderate positive correlation between the two variables with a p-value = 0.016 (p <0.05).Conclusion: There was a significant difference between magnesium levels and the severity of acne vulgaris, and there is a moderate positive correlation between magnesium levels and the severity of acne vulgaris, which means that the higher the magnesium level, the more severe the degree of acne vulgaris

Correlation Between Candida Albicans Colonization Growth And The Addition Of 5%, 10% And 40% Dextrose Level On Saboraud Dextrose Agar

Introduction : Candida albicans is normal flora that can be found on skin, oral mucosa and digestive tract. This organism are commensal or non pathogenic, but when there is other predisposition factor, this commensal tendency may become pathogenic to the human body. In Diabetes Mellitus patients with high blood sugar level can affect Candida Albicans infection events. Aim: The purpose of this research is to prove whether there is a correlation between Candida Albicans colonization growth and the addition of 5%, 10% and 40% Dextrose level on Saboraud Dextrose Agar (SDA). Method: This research is a true experimental research with post test only group design observed in 11 days. Samples are from 15 strains of Candida Albicans cultured in Saboraud Dextrose Agar without the addition of Dextrose, with the addition of Dextrose 5%, 10% and 40% in eleven days and the development were noted. The growth of Candida albicans is observed from the diameter growth. Result: in the culture of Candida albicans in 11 days. Data analysis using Kruskal Wallis with data signification (α = 0,05) obtained P 0,000 (
