Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of giving ethanol extract of kebar grass (Biophytum petersianum Klotzsch) on the uterine performance of Rattus norvegicus rats exposed to cigarette smoke. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD). The results obtained were analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) then continued with Duncan's test at a significant level of α = 0.05 using SAS software. The sample consisted of 12 rats, which were divided into 4 groups. The rat group (+), 0.067, 0.0135, decreased uterine function by exposure to 10 cigarettes/head/day for 28 days. Mice (-) were the negative control group, namely rats that were not exposed to cigarette smoke and ethanol extract of coriander grass. Mice (+) are the positive control group, namely rats exposed to cigarette smoke 10 cigarettes/head/day for 28 days. Groups 0.067 and 0.135 were exposed to cigarette smoke 10 cigarettes/head/day for 28 days and then given 0.067 mg of coriander grass ethanol extract for the 0.067 group and a dose of 0.135 mg for the rat group 0.135. The results showed that there was an effect of increasing the performance of the rat uterus after administration of ethanol extract of coriander grass. It can be concluded that administration of the ethanol extract of the grass Biophytum petersianum Klotzsch kebar can increase uterine weight and uterine length of rats, with a good dose of 0.135 mg.

Abstract

Through mosquito bites, parasites of the genus Plasmodium spread the disease known as malaria. Malaria-carrying mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles sp. One secure method of controlling the Anopheles sp. mosquito population is biological mosquito control. Since the biological method does not use chemicals but rather the phytochemicals found in plants, one of which contains compounds from the male breadfruit flower and is capable of acting as a vegetable larvicide or mosquito repellent. The aims of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of electric mosquito mats that contain male breadfruit flowers to kill or cause mosquitoes (Anopheles sp.) to die. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used for the experiment. The results showed a change in the mortality of Anopheles sp. mosquito larvae. After exposure to breadfruit flower mat doses of 0.5gr, 1gr, 1.5gr, 2gr compared to no administration. Thus, it was concluded that male breadfruit flower mats with concentrations of 0.5gr, 1gr, 1.5gr, and 2gr had an insecticidal effect on the mortality of Anopheles sp. mosquitoes. with an effective concentration of 2gr (96.5% mortality), of which 50% mortality (LC50) of Anopheles sp. larvae. Occurred at a concentration of ethanol extract of male breadfruit flowers dose 0.36gr.
