Recurrent Aphthous Ulceration (RAU) is a type of local inflammation of the oral mucosa with symptomatic soft tissue damage. The prevalence of RAU is about 17-67 %. Dominant factors causing this disease are understood, but there are predicted internal and external factors that cause related immune disorders. RAU is initiated by mucous proteins which continuously stimulate a physiological response required for a pathophysiological reaction. The aim of this study was to characterize specific anomaly proteins in oral mucosa as causing the initiation of RAU. Samples of mucosal proteins from 30 RAU patients were analyzed with sodium dodexylsulphate polyacrylamid gelelectrophorese (SDS-PAGE) and visualized with silver stain (AgNO3) showing proteins with a range of molecular weight 27 - 180 kDa. Western blotting using a polyclonal antibody specific to RAU showed that the specific proteins of RAU have molecular weights of 23, 27, 65, 70 and 87 kDa. The finding of so many proteins appears to be a new phenomenon, suggesting that the initiation of RAU is possibly due to a continuous induction of internal and external reactions by several mucosal proteins, that become anomaly proteins of high reactivity and antigenicity. This situation can cause overreaction on the oral mucosa with specific symptoms that are known as a RAU.

The rubra variety of Alpina galanga rhizoma extract were compatible to the fibroblast tissue, non toxic, and potent in inhibiting Candida albicans growth. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of the rubra variety of Alpina galanga rhizome extract as a treatment to oral candidosis. The patients involved in this study were 20 diabetic patients, men and woman. There were sixteen patients showed white patches or flecks on the tongue surface. After clinical examination, a direct smear was made and there were mass of candidal hyphae on Periodic Acid Schiff staining. For patient comfort, the extract of Alpinia galanga 30% was prepared as a cream in a tube. The cream was used topically on the fleck, 4-5 times daily for 14 days. In case of the flecks persisted, the treatment was continued to 21 days. Mc Nemar test showed a significant difference between the group before and after treatment (p<0,05). It was concluded that 30% rubra variety of Alpina galanga rhizome extract could be used as an alternative treatment for oral candidosis.
