Abstract

Tridax procumbens L. and Aloe vera L. are plants commonly used in the treatment of burns. This study was conducted to determine the effect of giving a combination gel of T. procumbens and A. vera leaf extract on second-degree burn healing in mice. This study used 24 male mice (Mus musculus) which were divided into four treatment groups, namely positive control (KP, Bioplacenton®); negative control (KN, gel base); leaf extract of T. procumbens 0.5% and A. vera 0.5% (P1); and leaf extract of T. procumbens 1% and A. vera 0.5% (P2). The process of inducing burns on the backs of mice requires the use of a 1x1 cm iron, which is subjected to heat in a fire for three minutes. The iron is placed on the mice's back for five seconds, which leads to the development of a second-degree burn. The gel was applied twice a day for 21 days. The highest level of burn wound healing was recorded with the Bioplacenton® treatment, which achieved a full recovery of 100% on day 15. Following this, the combined gel treatment of 1% T. procumbens leaf extract and 0.5% A. vera also reached 100% healing by day 18. While it may not be as potent as Bioplacenton®, the gel formulation containing 1% T. procumbens and 0.5% A. vera leaf extract presents a viable alternative for treating second-degree burns.

Abstract

Turtles They are among the world's protected animals and one of the rare, almost extinct species. The preservation of their habitat and knowledge of the traits of turtle-friendly habitats are two ways that the rescue and protection of these turtles must go on. For rescue operations, turtle sustainability, and sustainable coastal management, research is being conducted on the features of the turtle nesting habitats on Popareng Beach. This research aims to determine the characteristics of turtle nesting habitats and identify the parameters that hinder turtles from nesting at Popareng Beach, Tatapaan District, South Minahasa Regency. The method used in this research is the descriptive-exploratory method. With characteristic parameters consisting of beach width measurement, beach slope, sand temperature, sand humidity, sand texture, beach vegetation, and the presence of predators. From the research results, it shows that station 1 and station 2 have results that are suitable for turtle nesting habitats, with values obtained at station 1 being 88.33% and station 2 being 92%. Meanwhile, at station 3, with an evaluation score of 72%, it is considered fairly suitable and the station has tolerable limitations.
