"Background: Platelet-Rich Plasma is believed to repair cartilage degeneration by stimulating tissue regeneration, however the clinical evidence is still insufficient. The aim of this research is to compare the efficacy of intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection (HA) and combined hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma (HA-PRP) on osteoarthritis of the knee, and the association on gender, age, body mass index and osteoarthritis degree towards the efficacy. Methods: This is a cross-setional study using 58 patients’ medical records. 27 patients received HA injections, and 31 patients received HA-PRP injections. Patients were evaluated weekly using IKDC and WOMAC score until 2 months after the injections. Results: On the 2nd month of follow up, AH-PRP shows greater increase in IKDC (p=0,146) and WOMAC (Pain p=0,004; Stiffness p=0,008; Knee function p=0,007) score compared to HA injection. There’s no association on gender, age, and body mass index towards the IKDC and WOMAC score increase on either HA or combined HA-PRP injection. There’s no significant difference on osteoarthritis degree towards IKDC and WOMAC score increase on HA injection. However, there’s a significant difference between osteoarthritis degree 2 and 4 towards IKDC (p=0,002) and WOMAC score (Pain p=0,042; Stiffness p=0,018; Knee function p=0,042) and between osteoarthritis degree 2 and 3 towards WOMAC Pain (p=0,008) and WOMAC Knee function (p=0,018). Conclusions: HA-PRP injection shows better results to reduce osteoarthritis symptoms compared to HA injections. Better results were observed in patients with less severe osteoarthritis degree."

"The entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe to stake claim on the massive fortune of Su Yi, their matriarch.

"The best survey of cognitive linguistics available, this Handbook provides a thorough explanation of its rich methodology, key results, and interdisciplinary context. With in-depth coverage of the research questions, basic concepts, and various theoretical approaches, the Handbook addresses newly emerging subfields and shows their contribution to the discipline. The Handbook introduces fields of study that have become central to cognitive linguistics, such as conceptual mappings and construction grammar. It explains all the main areas of linguistic analysis traditionally expected in a full linguistics framework, and includes fields of study such as language acquisition, sociolinguistics, diachronic studies, and corpus linguistics. Setting linguistic facts within the context of many other disciplines, the Handbook will be welcomed by researchers and students in a broad range of disciplines, including linguistics, cognitive science, neuroscience, gesture studies, computational linguistics, and multimodal studies."

"This article discuss the access of information in the library. The problem of access information emerged when the society changes from industrial society to information society. In the information society, information as a commodity. Information have an economic value. The following problem that there are a poor society and the rich society so that appearing information poor society and information rich society. To reduce the gap between information poor society and information rich society, the librarian have a conflict between free and fee to access the information in the library. Both pro and contra for free and fee to access information in the library discussed in this article."

"Pendahuluan: Salah satu konsentrat faktor pertumbuhan autologus terbaru yang dapat mempercepat proses penyembuhan luka dan meningkatan bioaviabilitas adalah platelet rich fibrin (PRF). Belum ada penelitian aplikasi PRF di luka pasca panen tandur kulit dapat mempercepat proses epitelisasi. Metode: Studi multipel measure dengan general linear model adalah untuk mengevaluasi luka pasca panen tandur kulit, luka pasca panen tandur kulit dibagi menjadi dua kelompok dengan atau tanpa aplikasi PRF pada area tersebut. Untuk mengevaluasi epitelisasi luka di lokasi donor, kami memberikan perawatan luka yang sama pada kedua sisi dan evaluasi foto analisis pada hari ke 1,3, 7, 14 dan 30 menggunakan perangkat lunak ImageJ. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan SPSS 20.0. Nilai P lebih rendah dari 0,05 dianggap signifikan. Hasil: Penggunaan PRF telah membuktikan kemampuannya untuk mempercepat proses epitelialisasi proses penyembuhan situs donor p 0,000. Reaksi inflamasi kelompok PRF (hiperemik, nyeri, hipertermia, dan edema) di situs donor berkurang. Kesimpulan: Aplikasi PRF akan memperbaiki kondisi luka, khususnya dengan menyediakan faktor pertumbuhan di lingkungan luka yang membantu mempercepat proses epitelisasi dan menghasilkan manajemen luka yang efektif.

Introduction: One of the newest concentrate autologous growth factors for wound healing process is platelet rich fibrin (PRF), used to accelerating wound healing process. PRF application on donor site after skin grafting would accelerated epithelialization process.

Methods: This multiple measure with general linear model study is to evaluate after harvesting, donor site defect was divided into two groups with or without PRF application. To evaluate of epithelialization of donor site wound, we give same treatment of wound care of both side and evaluated at day 1,3, 7, 14 and 30 using ImageJ software. Data obtained were analyzed with SPSS 20.0. The P-values lower than 0.05 considered as significant.

Result: The use of PRF has proven its ability to accelerate the epithelialization process of donor site healing process p 0,000. Inflammation reaction of PRF group (hyperemic, pain, hyperthermia, and edema) on donor site wound less.

Conclusion: PRF application would improve the condition of the wound, in particular by providing growth factor in the wound environment that help accelerate the epithelialization process and resulting in cost effective wound management."
