Abstract

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an inflammatory bowel condition in infants and considered as one of the leading causes of death in infants, especially premature infants. The high mortality rate due to NEC in recent decades has become a problem because there is no current therapy that can optimally treat NEC. Currently, NEC is treated using Bell's Staging as a guide and surgery is a common procedure, especially if necrosis has occurred. However, complications arising from surgery not only reduce the patient's quality of life but can also result in death. Therefore, it is necessary to find new therapy in order to treat NEC effectively and minimize the possibility of side effects in NEC patients. Stem cells are known for their regenerative abilities which is potential to overcome tissue damage due to excessive inflammation in NEC. Previous studies also show that stem cells have become new therapy to treat other intestinal diseases which have similar features with NEC. This study aims to explain mainly on stem cells’s promising mechanism of action in treating NEC. The method used for this study is a literature review design by selecting and reviewing relevant previous literature using databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct. This paper summarizes pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, current therapy and mechanism of action of stem cells and their derivatives as future potential therapy for NEC. Based on evidence found, stem cells and their derivatives are potential to be used as NEC therapy in the future. However, the data obtained is not sufficient to support its use in humans. Given the urgency in finding an effective NEC management and the potency of stem cells, further research is needed to support the use of stem cells as NEC therapy.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium responsible for various infections, showing strong resistance to β-lactam antibiotics due to the mecA gene, which encodes Penicillin-Binding Protein 2A (PBP2A). This resistance contributes to the emergence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), posing significant challenges in clinical settings. Detecting the mecA gene is crucial for identifying MRSA and guiding appropriate treatments. This study aimed to detect the mecA gene in clinical pus samples from patients with MRSA infections in hospitals in Surakarta. A qualitative descriptive design was used. DNA was isolated from 12 clinical pus samples, and the mecA gene was detected using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Gel electrophoresis visualized the amplified DNA bands, and results were analyzed based on comparison with positive and negative controls and a DNA ladder. The results showed positive amplification of the mecA gene in all clinical samples, with clear DNA bands at 571 base pairs. One sample (SP1) and the positive control exhibited weaker bands, but the presence of the mecA gene was confirmed in all cases. The study concluded that all clinical samples were positive for the mecA gene, indicating the presence of MRSA. PCR proved to be an effective tool for detecting the mecA gene in clinical samples and is valuable for identifying MRSA in healthcare settings.

Abstract

The Tumpak Village Community Forest Area has various potentials, with natural views as the main attraction. This research aims to determine the priority scale for developing this area through a feasibility level analysis using rules based on the Analysis of Operational Areas of Natural Tourist Attraction Objects (ADO-ODTWA). This research is quantitative and uses a survey method, with scoring analysis based on criteria in the ADO-ODTWA rules. Primary data was obtained through field observations, in-depth interviews, and distributing questionnaires. Meanwhile, secondary data was obtained through literature reviews, journal articles, books and geospatial data. The research results show that the Tumpak Village Community Forest area has a high level of feasibility and has the potential to be developed as ecotourism. Criteria for obtaining a high classification include ecotourism attractiveness, availability of accommodation, surrounding environmental conditions, supporting facilities, and availability of clean water. The criteria for the medium classification include accessibility, management and services that still need improvement, as well as marketing that is still limited. Management and development of this area can be carried out with a focus on managing potential tourist attractions and improving the required infrastructure. In addition, increasing accessibility requires support from the Regional Government of Central Lombok Regency to improve road infrastructure.

Abstract

Peanuts (Arachis hypogea L.) are leguminous plants which are classified as the most important nuts after soybeans in Indonesia. Indonesia not only imports rice but also imports other food crops such as peanuts. By using NPK fertilizer and organic liquid palm oil waste fertilizer as treatments in this study, we hope to boost the productivity of peanut plants. A Factorial Randomized Group Design (RAK) was employed in the study, with two treatment components, namely: 1. Factors for administering liquid organic fertilizer from palm oil mill waste (P) with 4 levels, namely: P0= POC LCPKS 0 ml/polybag P1= POC LCPKS 100 ml/polybag P2= POC LCPKS 200ml/polybag P3= POC LCPKS 300 ml/polybag, 2. The NPK (K) fertilizer application factor consists of: K0= 0 mg / polybag K1 = 7.5 mg/polybag K2 = 15 mg/polybag K3= 22.5 mg/polybag. The findings of the research indicate that the vegetative growth of peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea L.) is significantly impacted by the availability of a combination of organic fertilizer made from liquid palm oil waste and NPK fertilizer. Nearly every metric, including plant height, leaf area index, and blossom count, is significantly impacted by the application of a blend of NPK fertilizer and organic fertilizer made from liquid palm oil waste. The P3K2, P0K1, P1K3, and P2K1 levels represent the best level attained depending on the supply of POC from palm oil waste and NPK fertilizer.

Abstract

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a gradually worsening neurodegenerative condition characterized by the build-up of beta-amyloid proteins, resulting in a decline in cognitive abilities. β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1) is known to play a role in the formation of beta-amyloid plaques. Thus, theoretically, inhibiting BACE1 can potentially prevent and slow down the accumulation of these plaques. This study is a literature review that compiles data from various research examining the inhibitory effects of compounds from marine organisms on the BACE1 enzyme. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the available literature to evaluate the potential of these compounds.  19 marine organisms and 40 compounds were identified with low IC50 values, five compounds with notably low IC50 values were identified: (1) 8,8’-Bieckol [1.62 µM] from Ecklonia cava, (2) Phlorofucofuroeckol A [2.13 µM] and (3a) Dieckol [2.21 µM] from Eisenia bicyclis, (4) bis-(2,3,6-tribromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzyl) ether [2.32 µM] from Symphyocladia latiuscula, (3b) another Dieckol [2.34 µM] also from Ecklonia cava and (5) Heparan sulfate [2.89 µM] from Portunus pelagicus. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of marine compounds as BACE1 inhibitors for AD. However, further research is needed to explore their bioavailability and clinical efficacy for practical application in preventing and treating Alzheimer’s Disease.

Abstract

In the management of the catchment area, vegetation plays a crucial role in regulating the hydrological cycle of the ecosystem. However, the construction of dams for hydropower plants and the lack of management of the surrounding area pose a serious threat to forest deforestation. This study aimed to determine the composition and structure of tree stands and tree saplings in the catchment area of PT Kerinci Merangin Hydro Power Plant, Jambi. This method uses a field survey by conducting vegetation analysis on 20 m x 50 m sub-plots with a size of 10 m x 10 m and 5 m x 5 m for trees and saplings. Based on the results, 21 families, 31 genera, 36 species, and 54 individuals were found in the tree strata with Lauraceae as the co-dominant family with a percentage of 12.96%, while the composition of sapling strata plant vegetation found 17 families, 23 genera, 25 species, and 33 individuals with the co-dominant family in the Sapindaceae family with a percentage of 15.15%. Microcos sp. species has the highest INP of 28.80% for tree strata and Dimocarpus sp. for sapling strata at 28.39%. The diversity index was high in the tree stratum at 3.43 and sapling at 3.13. This study can help determine strategies for implementing soil and water conservation, especially forestry regulations, in landscape management.

Abstract

Tempeh is the main product, while soybean husk is a solid waste from the tempeh making process. Soybean husk can be used as a substitute feed for whole or partial concentrate to stimulate growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in the nutritional content of fermented soybean husk (FSSH) using Microbacter Alfaafa-11 (MA-11) with various doses. This study used different concentrations of Microbacter Alfaafa-11 (MA-11) to ascertain changes in the nutritional content of fermented soybean husk (FSSH). Utilizing a completely randomized design (CRD), three repetitions of each of the four treatment kinds were made of the methodology. The medication was administered as a series of MA-11 dosages, with the following amounts included: 0% (control), 0.05%, 0.10%, and 0.15%. The dry matter yield of FSSH, crude fiber content, and crude protein content were the variables that were observed. According to the study's findings, using MA-11 could considerably raise the crude protein content of FSSH (P<0.05) and greatly lower its dry matter yield (P<0.05), but it had no significant influence (P>0.05) on the crude fiber content of FSSH. The conclusion is that fermentation of soybean husks (Glycine max L.) using Alfalfa-11 Microbacteria does not have a significant effect on crude fiber content, but has a significant effect on crude protein content and dry matter yield of fermented soybean husks.
