THE EFFECT OF BINJAI (Mangifera caesia) LEAVES EXTRACT GEL TO COLLAGEN FIBER DENSITY ON WOUND

Abstract

Binjai (Mangifera caesia) leaves extract contains flavonoid, saponin, phenolic, tannin, alkaloid and triterpenoid. The said contents are known to help the process of wound healing. Gel formations contains a lot of water, resulting in substance penetration into the tissue will be better if used as wound healing adjuvant therapy. Purpose: To analyze the effect of binjai leaves extract gel (Mangifera caesia) that topically given to collagen fiber density on the wistar rat incision wound. Methods: This research was a true experimental with post test only with control group design that consists of 4 groups. Group I has been given the placebo gel as control, group II, III and IV have been given the binjai leaves extract gel with 5%, 10% and 15% concentration that observed on the 7th day and 14th day. The collagen fiber density assessed by measuring hydroxyproline with Stegmann and Stalder method. Results: The research result shows that the 15% concentration of binjai leaves extract gel has a better effect on collagen fiber density compared to 5% and 10% concentrations. Two-way Anova data analysis revealed that the significant difference average of collagen fiber density of the whole group with the value of sig.p < 0,05. Conclusion: The 15% concentration of binjai leaves extract gel has the most optimal effect compared with the 5% and 10% concentrations to collagen fiber density on the wistar rat incision wound.
