Abstract

Peanuts are a high-nutritional food source containing unsaturated fats, high-quality protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. The aim of the study was to determine the mycological quality of peanut butter consumed in Lafia and determine the antifungal susceptibility profile of fungal isolates. Peanut butter samples were collected from Lafia markets from which fungi were isolated, and the In vitro antifungal susceptibility profile was determined. The highest fungal count was from Shinge market (28.0x103 cfu/g), and the lowest from the College Village market (3.0x103 cfu/g). Of the fourteen fungal species isolated, genus Aspergillus had four species followed by genera Fusarium with three species. A. flavus was obtained from all the markets while A. carbonarius, A. versicolor, A. parasiticus, Alternaria alternata, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida sp. and Trichophyton verrucossum were found in one market each. Antibiotics sensitivity test showed the highest inhibitory activity against F. graminearum and A. parasiticus from the Roundabout market (100% inhibition). Nystatin was the most effective antibiotic with inhibition of 1.87±0.23 cm against Alternaria alternata, and inhibiting all the isolates, while fluconazole was the least effective antibiotic tested. The study concludes that peanut butter consumed in Lafia has high concentrations of microorganisms making it unsafe for consumption.

Abstract

The research has been carried out on the effect of variations in the concentration of earring leaves (Acalypha Indica L.) ethanol extract on the acquisition of inhibition zone values for the growth of S. typhi bacteria. In this study, ethanol solvent was used in the maceration and evaporation stages, then the well diffusion method was used to test its antibacterial activity. Each stage was carried out in triplo and 3 repetitions. Phytochemical test on the evaporated extract showed positive test results for flavonoid and tannin metabolite compounds. Concentration variations that used in this study were 5%, 15%, 30%, 50% and 60%, the antibiotic chloramphenicol was also used as a positive control and aquadest as a negative control. Meanwhile, the antibacterial activity test gave the result that the higher the concentration of the earring leaf extract (Acalypha Indica L.), the inhibition zone value also increased with the following successive values: 0mm, 11mm, 14mm, 15mm and 16mm, on the other hand chloramphenicol showed an inhibition zone of 32 mm. The research data were analyzed statistically using the One Way Anova test. Earring leaf extract (Acalypha Indica L.) has a significant effect of 0.000 on S. Typhi bacteria. However, at the smallest concentration, namely 5%, it does not have an inhibition zone diameter of 0 mm with a significant value of 1000. It can be concluded that the antibacterial activity using chloramphenicol is still higher when compared to the antibacterial activity using the ethanol extract of earring leaves (Acalypha Indica L.) in inhibiting growth of S. Typhi bacteria.

Abstract

Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) secretome has potential as a neuroprotective and neuroregenerative agent. It can have effects due to its paracrine factors, such as Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Stromal-Cell Derived Factor-1 (SDF-1) which can be induced with hypoxia preconditioning. This compound may play a role in the treatment of neurological diseases. Stroke has become a neurological disease that contributes to high rates of mortality and morbidity worldwide. There have been several pre-clinical trials on animal stroke models using MSC secretomes from rats and humans, but no studies have been conducted on Non-Human Primate, such as Macaca fascicularis. This species has been widely used in biomedical research and part of it can be utilized for such studies which will reduce the cost of using human MSC. The results of this study, Umbilical Cord (UC)-MSCs of Macaca fascicularis have been successfully cultured and characterized in terms of phenotypic and differentiation. Hypoxia precondition was able to induce BDNF secretion up to 264 pg/mL and SDF-1 up to 666 pg/mL in the UCMSC secretome. Hypoxic preconditioning with 3% oxygen can induce the most optimal BDNF and SDF-1 secretion, compared to 1% and 5% hypoxia.
