Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease with signs of increased blood glucose levels. Type 2 diabetes is common diabetes in adults. Bawang dayak is one of the plants believed to have the efficacy of curing various types of diseases. The purpose of this study was to find out the comparison of hypoglycemic effects between combinations of bawang dayak extract and acarbose with single acarbose. This study was an experimental study using 32 white mice divided into two groups. Group one was given a combination of bawang dayak at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW and acarbose at a dose of 40 mg/100 g BW, while group two was given acarbose at a dose of 40 mg/100 g BW. Treatment is administered after the test animal is induced with dexamethasone at a 1 mg/kg BW dose dissolved in NaCl 0.9% subcutaneously for 12 days. Measurement of glucose levels was carried out using a glucometer. Data retrieval was carried out every three days for 15 days after previously fulfilled for +10 hours. Blood glucose level d...

Water is one of the important needs for human body. Therefore, water which consumed should be healthy and have certain quality. One of its quality parameter is total hardness. Total hardness is the hardness which caused by Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. Hard water, or water with a high level of total hardness, if consumed in long term can lead to hyperparatyroidsm, Nephrolithiasis, and musculusweakness. The aim of this study were to determine total hardness level of refill drinking waterwhich sold in Kayutangi Banjarmasin and to compare it with the standard parameter of total hardness in Permenkes 492/Menkes/IV/2010 which is 500 mg/L in maximum. There were 16 samples in this study that taken from refill drinking water store were found accidentally. The quantitative analysis was done by complexometry titration method with Na2-EDTA as titrant and Eriochrome Black T as indicator. The results showed that the ranges of total hardness level of 16 samples that determined between 35,64 – 99,00 mg/L wh...

Tofu is one of favourite food in Indonesia because it is containing the nutrients which body needs, such as protein. Tofu comes from processed soybeans and contains high water, so it can only save for 1 or 2 days in storage. Because of that reason several   manufacturers or dealers add additional ingredients, one of them was formaldehyde to made tofu were durable to be restored and increases consumer appeal. The aim of the study was to identifity the contain of formaldehyde at crude tofu in Kalindo, Teluk Tiram and Telawang market Banjarmasin. The investigated sample was white crude tofu were 19 samples obtained with accidental sampling. The type of research was descriptive research. Qualitative analysis of formaldehyde at crude tofu was done with conventional method by using Ag(NH3)2NO3 and KMnO4 0,1N reagents. The result of study shows that crude tofu was sold in Kalindo market 90% (9 of 10 samples) positive contain formaldehyde, 100% (4 of 4 samples) at Teluk Tiram market positiv...

ABSTRAK Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mempelajari potensi daun Kumpai Mahung (Eupatorium inulifolium) dan kalsium karbonat sebagai anti-inflamasi, berdasarkan obat tradisional di pegunungan Dayak Meratus Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan untuk mendapatkan ekstrak adalah maserasi menggunakan pelarut metanol dengan rasio 1:10. Uji kualitatif Penapisan fitokimia fenolik dengan senyawa FeCl3 dan kuantitatif dengan spektrofotometri UV-Vis dengan kuersetin sebagai standar, panjang gelombang 418 nm konsentrasi 10-50 ppm. Ekstrak Eupatorium inulifolium dan calcium carbonat diformulasikan menjadi salep sederhana dengan penambahan vaselin album (1:3). tes anti-inflamasi menggunakan tikus jantan yang telah diinduksi oleh karagenin 3%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada pengujian kualitatif dan kualitatif, adalah positif senyawa fenolik, Mengandung 3,68% flavonoid. Ekstrak Eupatorium inulifolium dan kalsium karbonat dalam salep dapat secara signifikan mengurangi edema pada kaki ti...
