Abstract

Spodoptera litura is one of  agricultural crop pests. They are resistant to chemical insecticides. One of arternate biological control is Spodoptera litura Nucleopolyhedrosis Multiple Virus (SpltMNPV) Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui bagaimana mekanisme SpLtMNPV dalam menginfeksi sel epithel midgut larva S. The research was conducted to determine how SpltMNPV infected midgut epithelial cells of S. litura secara in vitro . litura larvae in vitro.  The mechanism of infection was observed by a transmission electron microscopy (TEM).  The result of this observation showed that infecting midgut cell by  SpltMNPV involved 5 phases, they are, 1) the attachment of  SpltMNPV at the membrane of suitable host, 2) the penetration, formation of channels and release of protein envelope, 3) the biosynthesis of virus components in the cell nucleus, 4) the assembling of virus components, and 5) the releasing of MNPV/multiplenucleocapsid through budding. Keywords: mechanisms of infection, Spodoptera litura multiple nucleopolyhedrosis virus, midgut army worm larvae cells.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to ascertain how the problem-based learning approach affects students' critical thinking abilities in courses on conservation biology. This study design uses a non-equivalent control group in a quasi-experiment. Essay exam questions totaling 10 valid and reliable numbers served as the study's instrument. Pre-test and post-test questions were used to gather data. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistical tests, namely the covariance (ANCOVA) analysis with pretest values as variables at a significance level of 0.05%, were used to evaluate the research data. The IMB 23 SPSS program was utilized for data analysis because the data were homogeneous and regularly distributed. The findings demonstrated that, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, there was a significant difference in the critical thinking abilities of students taught using the conventional model and those taught using the problem-based learning model. The conclusion is that in conservation biology classes, the problem-based learning approach helps students develop their critical thinking skills.

Abstract

HCC is difficult to treat due to its complex tumor microenvironment and the ineffectiveness of available therapies. Gas-based anticancer approaches are promising, but are hampered by instability and difficulties in targeted delivery. HHOnbs (containing hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2), and low-dose hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at the nanoscale) have been proposed to improve the stability and precision of gas-based therapies. This study aimed to investigate the effects of HHOnbs on the immunoregulatory marker FoxP3 and the proliferation marker Ki-67 in a Wistar rat model of HCC induced by diethylnitrosamine (DEN)/carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). The design used was a true experimental design. HHOnbs were administered intravenously. Liver tissue was assessed using immunohistochemistry to measure FoxP3 and Ki-67 expression. HHOnbs treatment significantly reduced FoxP3 and Ki-67 expression (p<0.05). FoxP3 is a marker of regulatory T cells (Tregs), which often inhibit antitumor immune responses. Its decrease indicates an increased immune response potential. Ki-67 is a marker of cell proliferation. Its decrease indicates the suppression of cancer cell growth. Further investigations are warranted to compare its efficacy with standard therapies, assess different treatment durations, and elucidate the underlying molecular signaling pathways.
