Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of the Aedes sp. mosquito. This disease is one of the main problems in Indonesia. Sukabumi is one of the cities in West Java that has the highest case di DHF. Chemical larvicides were used to control the Aedes aegypti mosquito. But its cause resistance in mosquito larva, so the seek for alternatives larvicides from natural and environmentally friendly are sought. Many studies had carried out on alternatives larvicides derived from natural product (biolarvicides). Natural larvicides have one advantage, that they do not cause resistance in mosquitoes. Several studies on biolarvicides are summarized to obtain information on several plants planted by the community in Gunungpuyuh District, Sukabumi City, which have the potential as biolarvicides. Of the 343 species of plants planted by the community, seven species of plants have high effectiveness with an LC (Median Lethal Concentration) LC50 value of <750 ppm. Lemongrass, cucumber, soursop, and kaffir lime were plants that potencial as biolarvicides compared to the others with LC50 values of 1.553 ppm, 189.261 ppm, 279.882 ppm, and 603 ppm. This plant is easy to cultivate and can be used as a biolarvicides by the community.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of from kepok banana peel extract (Musa acuminata balbisiana Colla) and BAP and their interaction on the growth of red potato plantlets (Solanum tuberosum L.) in vitro. This research was conducted in September-October 2023 at the G10 Agrotech Medan Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory Jl. Sei Bahorok No. 47 F Medan Baru. This research used a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors. The first factor is the concentration of Kepok banana peel extract in 3 levels, namely (0, 25 and 50 g/L) and the second factor is BAP which consists of 4 levels, namely (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mg/L). 12 treatment combinations were obtained and each treatment was repeated 3 times to obtain 36 experimental units. The research parameters were plantlet height, number of shoots, number of leaves and number of roots analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and if they were significantly different, further tests would be carried out using the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% level. The results showed that the treatment of kepok banana peel extract and BAP had a significant effect on plantlet height, number of shoots, number of leaves and number of roots. The highest average plantlet height was produced by banana peel extract 50gr/L (7.60 cm), BAP 1mg/L (6.70 cm). The highest number of shoots was produced by banana peel extract 50gr/L (6.33 shoots), BAP 1.5 mg/L (6.33 shoots). The highest number of leaves was produced by sweet corn extract 25 gr/L, namely (10.00 leaves), BAP 0.5 mg/L as much as (8.00 leaves). The highest number of roots was produced by the 50gr/L sweet corn extract treatment, namely (12.00 roots), the highest number of roots was produced by BAP 1 mg/L, namely (7.33 roots). The highest average plantlet height, number of shoots and leaves were produced by the A2B1 treatment interaction, namely 7.40 cm plantlet height, 6.33 shoots and 16.33 leaves. The highest number of roots was produced by the A2B2 treatment interaction, namely 8.67 roots.  This is an open-access article under the CC-BY-SA license

Abstract

Makrozoobenthos plays a crucial role in ecosystems as producers, primary consumers, and decomposers or detritus that can degrade organic compounds into inorganic ones. As primary consumers, the role of makrozoobenthos is vital for the survival of wildlife, especially various species of shorebirds commonly found in coastal areas and fish-shrimp pond areas. The aims of this research is determining the abundance of makrozoobenthos (ind/m3) and ecological index at the pond in Ulee Matang Village. The diversity of macrozoobenthos species in the area consists of 12 species of three phylum and six classes. The abundance of macrozoobenthos on two type of pond (fish and shrimp) are ranging from 892 ind/m3 to 1400 ind/m3. The Arthropoda phylum, abundant in the research area, notably featured the Water Flea Daphnia sp. that serving as a primary food source for fish and shrimp prior to the introduction of fish and shrimp seeds. This suggests a significant role of arthropods in the food chain, supporting not only fish and shrimp but also macrozoobenthos and shorebirds.

Abstract

Insulin resistance related to pancreatic islet and spleen was one of incidence for diabetes mellitus disease. Our study determined the potential antidiabetic of Pirdot leaves (Saurauia vulcani, Korth.) (EEP) through in vivo and in silico approach. The effect of Pirdot on blood glucose level and histopathological pancreatic and spleen was analyzed by in vivo. Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into five groups as follows. Group KN served as negative control and was orally given distilled water; group KP were only 5.04 mg/ kg alloxan administered; group P1 were administered 16.5 mg/kg EEP and 5.04 mg/kg alloxan; group P2 were administered 33 mg/kg EEP and 5.04 mg/kg alloxan; group P3 rats 66 mg/kg EEP and 5.04 mg/kg alloxan. A single dose of alloxan was given in rats diabetic at KP, P1, P2, and P3 group treatment. Furthermore, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) and molecular docking were used to predict the interaction between the crossed genes in diabetes mellitus (DM) with 6 active compounds of Pirdot through in silico approach. The results indicated that Saurauia vulcani significantly decreased blood glucose and improved the histopathological alteration of pancreatic islet and spleen in alloxan induced treated diabetic rats. Moreover, the network pharmacology demonstrated ten hub genes and three genes target such as GANC (α-glucosidase), DPP4, and PTPN1 (tyrosine phosphatase protein) contributed in DM signaling pathway. Finally, the molecular docking study showed that the bioactive compounds Pirdot have a good binding affinity to the active site of PTP1B and α-glucosidase protein when compared to acarbose as a control compound

Abstract

Bacteria are one of the microscopic organisms contained in the urine, and the presence of bacteria in the urine we call bacteriuria. Gram painting examination of urine with a microscope is one of the good examination methods to detect the presence of bacteriuria. This study aims to identify gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria in urine using the Gram staining method. The research method used is the experimental method. This research is in the laboratory by giving treatment to the object of study.  Sampling is urine, taken from the urine of one of the students of Medan State University. The results of the culture process are known that the urine sample (U4) has a coccus-shaped cell shape with a red cell color which indicates that the bacterial cells in this urine are included in the gram-negative type of bacteria. In gram-negative bacteria, the cell wall structure consists of three layers (the inner layer is peptidoglycan, one layer is murein base frame and the outer layer is lipopolysaccharide and lipoprotein), there is no teichoic acid, lysozyme softens the cell wall (detergents disorganize that wall by damaging the lipid layer), the cell wall is thin which is about 10-15 nm, less susceptible to penicillin, and not so absorbent of basic dyes but with safranin dyes (red) very absorb.

Abstract

Uric acid is a substance produced from the breakdown of purines or waste products in the body, as a result of purine catabolism aided by the enzymes cguanase and xanthine oxidase. One of the green plants  used as traditional medicine is siam labu (Sechium edule). This plant is a vegetable plant belonging to the Curcubatiacae family that grows in the highlands. The purpose of this study was to test the anti-gout activity of chayote leaves in male  rats. The method used in this study started from preparing simplisia, preparing siam labu leaf extract, inducing mice with Ca-oxanate at a dose of 250 mg/kgBW and administering siam labu leaf extract at a dose of 250 mg/kgBW, 500 mg/kgBW. and 750 mg/kgBW was administered orally with intermittent observation periods of 1 hour for 6 hours. Results obtained in rats given 750 mg/kgBW of extract showed the lowest reduction of 3.88 ± 0.3 mg/dl. One-way ANOVA results  obtained a significant value p=0.00 (p<0.05), which can be concluded that there are differences in each treatment method in experimental animals. Tukey test results can be seen at 6 hours, it can be concluded that EDLS 750 mg/kg body weight with allopurinol is not significantly different.

Abstract

The use of enzymes in Indonesia is increasing every year, so action is needed to harmonize the production and needs of enzymes in Indonesia. Enzymes can be produced from various sources such as plants, animals and microorganisms. The advantage of utilizing microorganisms in enzyme production is that they can be produced in large quantities with a shorter time and can be produced continuously. One of the sources of bacterial screening to produce enzymes is figs. This study aims to look at the extracellular enzyme activity of fig endophytic bacteria and identify endophytic bacteria capable of producing extracellular enzymes such as proteases, amylase, cellulase and lipase. Isolation and purification of bacteria using NA media for 24 hours. Test of extracellular enzyme activity using NA media enriched with amylum, tween 80, skim milk, CMC. Biochemical tests are performed to identify endophytic bacteria of figs producing extracellular enzymes. The results of the study were 21 isolates of fig endophytic bacteria, as many as 14 isolates were able to produce extracellular enzymes. The identification results of fig endophytic bacteria producing extracellular enzymes obtained 8 isolates suspected to be from the genus Bacillus, 3 isolates suspected to be from the genus Micrococcus, 1 isolate suspected to be from the genus Cellulomonas, 2 isolates suspected to be from the genus Acetobacter
