ABSTRAKEkstrak etanol 70% kulit buah pisang Ambon mengandung alkaloid, flavonoid, dan tanin yang memiliki aktivitas sebagai antibakteri. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh jenis dan konsentrasi gelling agent terhadap karakteristik fisik gel ekstrak etanol 70% kulit buah pisang Ambon. Sediaan gel antiseptik ekstrak etanol kulit buah pisang dibuat dalam 4 formula dengan variasi basis dan konsentrasi basis gel yaitu FI (Na-CMC 5%), FII (Na-CMC 3%), FIII (Tragakan 5%), dan FIV (Tragakan 2,5%) Evaluasi terhadap sediaan dilakukan untuk mengetahui formula optimum yang memenuhi kriteria persyaratan. Evaluasi yang dilakukan meliputi organoleptic, homogenitas, daya sebar, daya lekat, pH dan viskositas. Analisis dilakukan secara statistik menggunakan ANOVA dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95% untuk melihat perbedaan antar kelompok formula dan korelasi regresi linier untuk mengetahui pengaruh jenis dan konsentrasi gelling agent terhadap karakteristik gel antiseptik ekstrak etanol kulit buah pisang Ambon. Formula optimum diperoleh pada F1 dengan basis gel Na-CMC pada konsentrasi 5% karena memenuhi kriteria syarat gel yang baik.Kata kunci: Kulit pisang Ambon; Antibakteri; Gel antiseptic; Gelling agent; Na-CMC.ABSTRACTEthanol extract of 70% Ambon banana peel contains alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins, which has antibacterial activity. The aims of this study to determine the effect of type and concentration of gelling agents on the physical characteristics of antiseptic gel formula Ambon banana peel 70% ethanolic extract. The antiseptic gel formula of banana peel 70% ethanolic extract made in 4 formulas with variations in type and concentration gelling agent, namely FI (Na-CMC 5%), FII (Na-CMC 3%), FIII (Tragakan 5%), and FIV (Tragakan 2,5%). Evaluation of the formulas done to find out the best formula that meets the requirements criteria. The evaluations included organoleptic, homogeneity, spreadability, adhesion, pH, and viscosity. The analysis performed statistically using ANOVA with a confidence level of 95% to see differences between groups of formulas and linear regression correlation to determine the effect of type and concentration of gelling agent on the characteristics of the antiseptic gel of Ambon banana peel. The optimum formula is obtained on F1 based on Na-CMC of 5% because it meets the criteria for gel requirements.Key word: Ambon banana peel; Antibacteria; Antiseptic gel; Gelling agent;Na-CMC.
Filariasis is a chronic infectious disease, caused by filarial worms in the lymph and lymph nodes cause lymphangitis and elephantiasis. Batuah Village is the area in Sampit with the largest percentage of microfilariae compared to the surrounding area. From 196 the number of Batuah villagers examined by the filariasis elimination officer of Kotawaringin Timur District Health Office in 2013 obtained 5 positive cases of filariasis with 2.55% microfilaria number which is dominated by filaria worm Brugia malayi. From the local health center has also conducted a mass drug treatment program with DEC medication, combined with albendazole for 12 days on 14-16 July 2014. The aim of this study was to determine the success rate of treatment conducted by the health officer against filariasis patients in the Batuah village. The method used in this microfilariae examination is a microscopic method. Capillary blood was taken on 4 filarial patients who tested positive on the previous examination who had been given DEC + Albendazole treatment, the result from 4 samples that examined 1 positive sample of 4 patients. The implementation of medication that has been done by public health office was successful because there was a decrease of microfilaria rate which was previously 2.55% to 0,51% (<1%).
