Abstract

Since long ago Indonesia used nutritious plants as traditional medicines. Various types of plants in Indonesia can be used as alternative ingredients, one of which is aloe vera. Aloe vera contains saponin and anthraquinone, so aloe vera leaves function as antiseptic and antibacteria. Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive coccus bacteria. This bacterium is often found as a normal germ flora in humans. Staphylococcus aureus can cause infections in humans and animals. This study aims to determine the effect of ethanolic extract of Aloe vera leaves in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus by using maceration extract method. The concentrations used were 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% with positive control (Erytromycin) and negative control (aquades). The inhibitory zone analysis is done using the table method. Test of ethanol extract of Aloe vera leaves in inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus produced inhibition zones at concentrations of 60%, 80% and 100% with average diameter of 6.94 mm, 6.22 mm and 9.5 mm. The conclusion of this research is the ethanolic extract of Aloe vera leaves can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus in high concentrations

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a condition of abnormalities in blood glucose metabolism that can cause various macroangiopathy complications such as disorders of the peripheral blood vessels, heart blood vessels, cerebral blood vessels as well as microangipathic complications such as diabetic retinopathy disorders, nephropathy and neuropathy. HbA1c describes the level of sugar in the blood for the last 3 months. Glucose is not found in normal urine because it is reabsorbed back into the blood vessels by renal filtration. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between HbA1c levels and glucosuria in people with diabetes mellitus. The design of this study is a cross-sectional approach to DM patients. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Data analysis was carried out by means of Spearman's rank correlation test. Results Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between HbA1c levels and glucosuria in DM patients p-value 0.005 with a coefficient value of 0.597. The conclusion from this study is that there is a significant relationship with a strong correlation strength and a positive correlation direction for DM sufferers.
