| dc.description.abstract | One important complication in the diabetic patient is diabetic ulcer. Diabetic ulcers in diabetes
patient can increase the risk of amputation and expensive treatment costs, so the alternative
treatmeant such as Merremia mammosa which has antiinflamatory and antidiabetic is needed.
This study aimed to determine the comparison of the number of macrophage in the incisional
wound in hyperglycemic male wistar rats between treatment with Merremia mammosa extract
and NaCl. The in vivo test was done by creating wound incision on the mice backs and treated
with gentamycin ointment 5% in a positive control group, NaCl in a negative control group and
Merremia mammosa extract in a dose of 100m), 200mg, 400mg in treatment group. The result
obtained by counting the number of macrophage in histopatholgy examination. The result
showed the number of macrophage were 0,36 cells/field of view in a negative control group,
0,52 cells/field of view in a positive control group, 0,48 cells/field of view in all Merremia
mammosa treatment groups. The data analysis showed no significant difference with p-value of
0,729. In conclusion, there was no significant difference between the used of Merremia
mammosa extract and NaCl on full thickness incisional wounds of hyperglycemic male wistar
rats. | en_US |
