Abstract

The main obstacle to consuming traditional medicine is the compounding process which is considered troublesome so that it often causes discomfort to consume it. For the purpose of efficiency, easy and practical in use, need to be made in dosage forms such as capsules. Capsules are solid preparations consisting of a drug in a soluble hard or soft shell. Titanus leaf (Leea aequata L.) is a medicinal plant that is used by the people of the Tanah Karo area, North Sumatra Province as an antitetanus drug. Tetanus is an acute and often fatal disease caused by an exotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. Tetanus often begins with a mild spasm of the jaw muscles which is often referred to as trismus. Sometimes the spasm affects the muscles that help with breathing, which can cause breathing problems. The aim of this study was to formulate EEDT capsules and to test its anticonvulsant activity on the smooth muscle of the guinea pig trachea in vitro. The relaxation effect was tested after the guinea pig's trachea was contracted with acetylcholine (EC80 = 1,0454 x 10-3 M), then the cumulative concentration of EEDT capsules was 0.5-4 mg/mL and atropine sulfate concentration of 6.95 x 10-6 - 2.08 x 10-2 mg/mL. The results of the relaxation effect test showed that EEDT granules could reduce acetylcholine-induced guinea pig trachea smooth muscle contraction. EEDT granules at a concentration of 3.5 mg/mL (102,8817 ± 0,1316) had the same ability as atropine sulfate 6.95 x 10-3 mg/mL (102,7748 ± 0,3231) in reducing guinea pig trachea smooth muscle contraction induced by acetylcholine 1,0454 x 10-3 M (p>0.005). EEDT capsules with a concentration of 3.5 mg and 4 mg had the same effectiveness, that is 102,8817 ± 0,1316. From this study, it can be concluded that the EEDT capsule preparation has a relaxing effect on the smooth muscle of the isolated guinea pig trachea with an ability that is not much different from atropine sulfate.

Abstract

DNA barcode is one of the molecular techniques used to identify and classify living things. Z. loerzingii is currently reported as a rare and endemic plants that is only found in North Sumatra. Scientific studies for Z. Loerzingii is measly done so that the information about this plant is limited while a clear identity on a plant is essential to discover the potential. This study aims to determine the molecular characteristics of Z. loerzingii by using DNA barcodes and assessing the phylogenetic relationship based on the rbcL gene locus. DNA was isolated with a commercial kit. The rbcL gene locus in the chloroplast genome of Z. loerzingii amplified using the Polymerase Chain Reaction technique to produce amplicon with the length approximately 600 bp. Consensus sequence merging generate a sequence with 576 bp length. The phylogenetic tree reconstruction was carried out using the Neighbor-Joining method and the Kimura-2-Parameter calculation model showed Z. loerzingii included in the monophyletic group with Zingiber mioga and Zingiber officinale as the sister taxa. The results for the molecular diversity analysis of Z. Loerzingii point out that in all samples of Z. loerzingii which collected from Cagar Alam Sibolangit have no molecular or genetic diversity. Therefore, it can be concluded that DNA barcoding with the rbcL gene locus can be used as a method to identify Z. loerzingii molecularly and efficient in determining their phylogenetic with other species.

Abstract

The utilization of waste as a culture medium can reduce production costs and become one of the ways to handle the waste. Tofu wastewater is one of the most produced wastes. It has potential as a growing medium for Chlorella sorokiniana because it contains macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This study aimed to determine the growth of C. sorokiniana in tofu liquid waste media (LCT), to determine the secondary metabolite content and total phenolic content of C. sorokiniana ethanol extract from cultured tofu waste media. C. sorokiniana was cultured at various concentrations of 15, 20, 25, and 30% LCT media. The best growth was obtained on LCT media with a concentration of 30%. The C. sorokiniana biomass obtained from cultivation on the best media was extracted using the repeated maceration method with solvent. The phytochemical test identified the secondary metabolites in the extract. The test results showed the presence of a class of alkaloid compounds, flavonoids, tannins and terpenoids. The total phenolic test was carried out by Folin Ciocalteau reagent, and the results obtained was 14,16 mg GAE/g. The total flavonoids of the extract were 40.59 mg QE/g.

Abstract

Biodiversity refers to the variety of organisms, including genes, species, and ecosystems in a given area. Biodiversity plays an important role in evolutionary processes and in maintaining the balance between the biosphere ecosystem and biological systems. Climate change is equally important to contribute to the sustainability of biodiversity. Factors causing ecosystem damage include human population, habitat conversion and transformation, overexploitation, invasive species, pollution, and climate change. By stopping the rate of loss of biodiversity that is occurring in the world, it will automatically invest in the survival and welfare of every human being.

Abstract

Painted terrapin (Batagur borneoensis) is a critically endangered freshwater turtle that has an annual migration behavior from freshwater rivers to the coast during the breeding season. In the habitat selection, painted terrapin also have a tendency that is influenced by certain factors to meet their needs. This underlies the possible of environmental characteristics influence on their nesting site selection and the eggs production. This study aims to determine the correlation between eggs amount that obtained from each nest with : 1) distance of nesting site from vegetation, 2) distance between each nests, 3) distance nesting site from coastline, and 4) the slope of nesting site. Data collected by observation in the field and using Purposive sampling method to determine 4 research stations. Data was analyzed with multiple linear regression analysis by using IBM SPSS 22. The results showed the types of vegetation around the nesting sites were Casuarina sp., Ipomoea pes-caprae, Cyperus sp., Scaevola taccada, Thespesia populnea and Avicennia sp. The result showed the average of distance between nesting site is  90.7±124.4 meters, the average distance of nesting site to vegetation about 2.5 ± 3.8 meters, the average distance of nest to the coastline is  4.6±2.7 meters, the average slope of the nesting sites about 10.7°±3.1°, and the average number of eggs is 16.9±3.1 eggs. Based on multiple linear regression analysis, the eggs amount is not influenced by the distance of nesting site from coastline, the distance to each nesting site, the distance of nesting site with vegetation and the slope of nesting site.
