Abstract

Humor language is verbal humor created through words, the meaning of words, and jargon. Directors use language humor to build comedy scenes, introduce the characters, or give the impression of a scene. However, sometimes, excessive techniques will be insufficient for the scene itself. Therefore, this study aims to find how language humor in comedy scenes in a film is overused and eventually dries the comedy. Research material was selected from a comedy movie entitled "Ngenest," produced in 2015, directed by Ernest Prakasa, who has a comical background and often uses comedic techniques in his films. The research method chosen is qualitative, with content analysis to identify the value of integrated humor and scenes in the movie "Ngenest.” Keywords: humor, humor language, scene, comedy

Abstract

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with a significant burden on public health, and current treatments offer limited efficacy. This study investigated the effectiveness of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) on the expression of the nestin gene and amyloid plaque in an aluminum chloride (AlCl3)-driven Alzheimer's rat model.Materials and methods: AD-MSCs were characterized using flow cytometry. Adult male Wistar rats were treated with/without AlCl3 and injected with/without AD-MSCs. After 5 days of AlCl3 ingestion and 4 weeks of subsequent AD-MSCs intraperitoneal injection, behavioral and molecular assessments were conducted. The Y-maze alternation test was used to test spatial learning of rats. Nestin gene expression was evaluated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The presence of amyloid plaque in the cortex and the hippocampus was evaluated through Congo red staining.Results: AD-MSC-like cells expressed the MSC markers CD90, CD73 and CD105. The Y-maze alternation result for rats treated with AlCl3 and AD-MSC-like cells was significantly higher compared with rats treated with AlCl3 only. Nestin gene expression was significantly higher in rats treated with AlCl3 and AD-MSC-like cells compared to those treated with AlCl3 only. After AD-MSC-like cells treatment, the Congo red staining results of rat’s cortex and hippocampus were significantly decreased.Conclusion: The findings suggest that AD-MSC-like cells possess therapeutic potential in restoring neural plasticity, amyloid plaque clearance and warrant further investigation for AD treatment. This study contributes to the emerging field of stem cell therapy for neurodegenerative diseases by highlighting the promise of AD-MSCs.Keywords: Alzheimer's disease, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, neural plasticity, congo red staining, stem cell therapy

Abstract

Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have recently become one of the main topics of discussion in the fields of health, food industry, science, animal husbandry, agriculture. LAB plays an important role in efforts to reduce stunting through various mechanisms related to intestinal health and nutrient absorption. One source of LAB is fermented Rinuak fish (Psilopsis sp) from Lake Maninjau, West Sumatra, Indonesia, which is isolated from probiotic bacteria which have the potential to act as antimicrobials, but must be ensured that they are halal in accordance with Islamic religious teachings. The aim of this study was to examine the antimicrobial potential of probiotic LAB isolated from Rinuak fish (Psilopsis sp). The research methods carried out were as follows: isolation and characterization of Rinuak fish (Psilopsis sp) LAB DNA, followed by assessment of the antimicrobial activity of the raw bacteriocin supernatant. Then, 16S rRNA was used to assess LAB isolate species that potentially had antimicrobial activity. The results showed that 3 samples of Rinuak fish (Psilopsis sp), After testing its ability to kill pathogenic bacteria, it was found that IR1 isolate had the greatest antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli ATCC 0157 (30..27 mm), Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 (25.65 mm) and Listeria monocytogenes CFSAN 004330 (18.65 mm) while the diameter of the inhibition zone by the supernatant of lactic acid bacteria Crude bacteriocin against Escherichia coli ATCC 0157 was 18.87 mm, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 was 22.67 mm while Listeria monocytogenes CFSAN 004330 did not form an inhibition zone. The results of molecular identification using 16S rRNA showed that the isolated lactic acid bacteria were 99.64% similar to those isolated from Rinuak fish (Psilopsis sp) with Lentilactobacillus buchneri subsp. silagei CD034 strain 17-16, which has antimicrobial potential against pathogenic bacteria. Lentilactobacillus buchneri subsp. silagei CD034 strain 17-16 can be used as an antidiarrheal and antityphoid drug in humans as well as a natural preservative in food that is guaranteed halal

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) in mitigating amyloid plaque formation in Alzheimer's disease induced by Aluminum Chloride (AlCl3) in rats. Methods: Rats were divided into three groups: negative control, positive control (AlCl3-induced), and treatment (AlCl3 + BM-MSCs). Cognitive function was assessed five days post-induction, and amyloid plaques were quantified using Congo Red staining in the cortex and hippocampus. Results: A significant reduction in amyloid plaque was observed in rats treated with BM-MSCs. The proportion of stained areas decreased from 1.88 to 1.73 in the cortex and from 1.61 to 1.47 in the hippocampus, compared to AlCl3-only controls. Conclusion: BM-MSCs demonstrated a moderate but statistically significant reduction in amyloid plaque in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease, indicating their therapeutic potential.
