Comparison of the Effectiveness of Tomato (Lycopersicum commune) and Red Melon (Cucumis melo L.) Juice in Increasing Vaginal Wall Thickness of Menopausal Rats Model

SUMMARY

Menopausal period is the period of permanent cessation of menstruation due to reduced or lost ovarian activity. One of the effects of decline estrogen levels during menopause is atropic vulvovaginitis. Consumption of phytoestrogens can reduce menopausal symptoms. Phytoestrogen is found in vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes and red melon. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of red melon juice and tomato on the increase of vaginal wall thickness in menopausal rats. This study revealed an alternative of phytoestrogen sources that is more effective to reduce menopausal symptoms, especially those related to vaginal atrophy to improve the quality of life of menopausal women. Subjects of this study were 27 ovariectomized Wistar strain Rattus norvegicus which were s divided into 3 groups randomly, one control group and two treatment groups with tomato juice and red melon juice at a dose of 330 mg/kgBW/day administered for 28 days. The variable of this study were the thickness of the vaginal wall which was precipitated by Hematoxiline Eosine. The highest vaginal wall thickness was found in the treatment group of red melon juice of 879.89 ± 70.52 µm and the lowest of the control group (K) of 643.3 ± 58.33 µm. The results of Anova test showed that there was a significant difference between control group and treatment groups, the tomato juice and red melon juice with a dose of 330 mg/kgBW/day, so it can be concluded that red melon juice with a dose of 330mg/Kg BW/day has the best effect in increasing the thickness of vaginal wall of menopausal rats as compared with tomato juice.

Intervención educativa sobre factores de riesgo del cáncer cervicouterino en mujeres en edad fértil Intervención educativa sobre factores de riesgo del cáncer cervicouterino en mujeres en edad fértilObjetivo: implementar una estrategia de intervención educativa en el Consultorio Médico de Familia 66 del Policlínico “Hermanos Cruz” para mejorar el conocimiento sobre los factores de riesgo principales para el cáncer de cuello uterino en mujeres en edad fértil.Método: se realizó un estudio de intervención educativa, cuasiexperimental, prospectivo y longitudinal. Se analizaron los datos demográficos por método porcentual y para determinar la eficacia del programa de intervención se computaron las respuestas para cada pregunta del cuestionario, con la prueba paramétrica de comparaciónde proporciones para dos poblaciones pareadas y se analizaron e interpretaron los resultados según la prueba estadística de Mc Nemar.Resultados: la muestra fue de 94 pacientes, predominó la edad de 30-39 años, nivel de escolaridad universitaria, presencia de factores de riesgo con 59 pacientes y los mejores resultados se obtuvieron para el conocimiento de factores de riesgo relacionados con la aparición del cáncer cervicouterino con 86 pacientes.Conclusiones: se demostró la efectividad de la intervención educativa.Palabras clave: cáncer cervicouterino; Virus del papiloma humano; citología; NIC; factores de riesgo.Objective: to implement an educative intervention strategy in the Family Doctor Office 66 in “Hermanos Cruz” polyclinic to rather the knowledge on main risk factors for the cervical uterine cancer in fertility age women.Method: a study of educative intervention, coast experimental, prospective and longitudinal was carried out. The demography data were analized by percentage method and to determine the efficacy of the intervention program the responses for each questionaire were computed, with the parametric test of proportion comparison for two pair population the results were interpretated and analized by Mc Nemar statistical test.Results: the sample of 94 patients, predominated 30-39 years, high school level, presence of risk factor with 59 patients and the best results were reached to the knowledge of risk factors associated with the apparition of cervical uterine cancer with 86 patients.Conclusions: the effectiveness of the educative intervention is demonstrated.Keywords: cervical uterine cancer, human Papilloma virus, cytology, NIC, risk factors.
