Abstract

ABSTRACTSome countries including Indonesia are currently affected by Covid-19 Pandemic. It absolutely causes a health crisis that generally attacks the body's immune system. Efforts are needed not to be affected by coronavirus, one of which can be conducted by providing health water with nanogold-nanosilver with a concentration of 20 ppm in which nanogold plays a role in strengthening the body's immune system at the cellular level while nanosilver acts as a catalyst for the body's immune system to prevent and kill pathogens. This research aimed to determine the effect of giving nanogold-nanosilver on increasing body immunity in healing complaints of serious illness and minor illness in the 230 people affected by the Covid-19 Sidoarjo cluster. The method used in this research was descriptive quantitative by distributing 150 mL of nanogold-nanosilver in a drinking water mixture to the Sidoarjo cluster people for 10 days in April. Data were obtained from the results of interviews every three times a day, the respondent's response had a significant effect by giving nanogold-nanosilver. It could boost body immunity as evidenced by improving body fitness, healing minor ailments (coughs, colds, menstruation, stomach acid, and acne and spots on the face) ) to recover serious diseases (kidney stones and breast pain). Furthermore, data would be processed in the form of bar chart. Thus, nanogold-nanosilver is able to maintain healthy conditions for people during a pandemic. Therefore, nanogold-nanosilver is expected to be a medicine of the future. Keywords: Body immunity; Nanogold; Nansosilver. ABSTRAKSaat ini berbagai negara khususnya Indonesia telah tedampak pandemi Covid-19, tentunya mengakibatkan krisis kesehatan yang pada umumnya menyerang sistem imun tubuh. Perlu adanya upaya agar tidak terserang coronavirus, salah satunya bisa dilakukan dengan pemberian air kesehatan nanogold-nanosilver dengan konsentrasi 20 ppm dimana nanogold berperan memperkuat sistem imun tubuh tingkat sel sedangkan nanosilverberperan sebagai katalisator sistem imun tubuh untuk mencegah serta membunuh patogen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian nanogold-nanosilver terhadap peningkatan imunitas tubuh dalam penyembuhan keluhan sakit berat maupun sakit ringan terhadap 230 masyarakat terdampak Covid-19 kluster Sidoarjo. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu kuantitatif deskriptif dengan membagikan 150 mL nanogold-nanosilver dalam campuran air minum kepada masyarakat kluster Sidoarjo selama 10 hari dalam bulan April. Data diperoleh dari hasil wawancara setiap tiga kali minum, respon responden memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan dengan pemberian nanogold-nanosilver dapat meningkatkan imun tubuh dibuktikan dengan meningkatkan kebugaran tubuh, penyembuhan penyakit ringan (batuk, pilek, menstruasi, asam lambung, serta jerawat dan flek di wajah) hingga memulihkan penyakit berat (batu ginjal dan nyeri payudara). Selanjutnya data akan diolah dalam bentuk diagram batang. Dengan demikian, nanogold-nanosilver mampu mempertahankan kondisi masyarakat tetap sehat di masa pandemi. Sehingga nanogold-nanosilver diharapkan bisa menjadi obat masa depan. Kata kunci: Imun tubuh; Nanogold; Nanosilver

Abstract

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), ranging in size from 1 to 100 nm, represent one of the most significant advancements in metal-based technologies in recent years. Their application in the medical field, especially as drug delivery agents, is particularly noteworthy and demonstrates their transformative potential. This study aims to synthesize AuNPs using HAuCl4 as a precursor and ascorbic acid as a bioreductant at a concentration of 20 ppm with a bottom-up method. The result of the synthesis process yields a striking burgundy-colored solution, signifying the successful formation of gold nanoparticles. The results of UV-Vis characterization provided insightful data on the transformation of the HAuCl4 solution. Initially recorded at a wavelength of 314.60 nm, the solution underwent a notable shift to 523.50 nm after the synthesis process, demonstrating an absorbance value of 0.323. Furthermore, the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis illuminated the unique characteristics of the synthesized nanoparticles, revealing an average particle size of 6.23 nm with the highest particle frequency in the range of 6-8 nm. Moreover, the result of clinical trials conducted with ten randomly selected volunteers, who received 20 ppm of AuNPs over a five-week period, demonstrated that seven out of ten participants experienced a significant reduction in uric acid levels, underscoring the therapeutic potential of gold nanoparticles. Microscopic observations following the injection revealed that volunteers with normal uric acid levels exhibited fewer leukocytes than those with elevated uric acid levels, who were noted to have leukocyte counts up to three times higher. In conclusion, the synthesis of AuNPs using ascorbic acid is marked by a wine-red solution and a significant absorption wavelength shift to the 500–600 nm range. The positive results of the clinical trial reflect the ability of AuNPs to lower uric acid levels, thereby paving the way for innovative nanotechnology-based therapeutic strategies in the medical field.
