Abstract

COVID-19 is triggered by SARS-CoV-2 which is related in a similar way to SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. RdRp is an essential component of the virus in replication and transcription. RdRp triggers polymerase activity through binding to cofactors such as nsp7 and nsp8. Mpro plays an important role in viral protease activity for the assembly process. RdRp and Mpro can be used as targets to inhibit the replicative activity of SARS-CoV-2. Moringa oleifera is used by people around the world as a traditional medicine because it has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. This study reveals the molecular mechanism of Moringa oleifera as an inhibitor of key proteins in SARS-CoV-2 replication through a computational approach. Additionally, the in silico method in this study consists of sample preparation in the database, druglikeness prediction, antiviral probability, virtual screening, chemical bond interaction, and 3D visualization. Moringa oleifera may have potential as an antiviral candidate through Ellagic Acid activity as a dual inhibitor through inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication and assembly. The candidate compound can generate weak bonding interactions such as hydrogen and hydrophobic to trigger binding stability at specific domains.

Abstract

Silver rasbora (Rasbora argyrotaenia Bleeker, 1849) is one of the native species found in Panglima Besar (PB.) Soedirman Reservoir. High economic value of silver rasbora causes fishermen to tend overfishing. This over-exploitation threatens the native species of fish. Therefore, this study aims to determine several parameters of fish population dynamics so that they become the basis for fisheries management. Sampling was carried out at the PB. Soedirman Reservoir in November 2021, January 2022, and March 2022 using a survey method. The result of this research is, the population of silver rasbora was 3097 individuals dominated by male and small-size fish 0.5-8.5 cm. Length and weight relationship obtained b value <3 which means it is negative allometric. The condition factor ranged from 1.005 to 1.068. Total mortality value (Z) 6.21 per year, natural mortality (M) 1.69 per year, fishing mortality (F) 4.52 per year, with exploitation rate (E) 0.73 per year. The total length of silver rasbora fish obtained ranged from 0.5 to 8.5 cm. The maximum length (L∞) = 12.93 cm and K = 0.62 per year with the Von Bertalanffy growth equation, Lt = 12.93 (1-e(-0.62(t-0.3291))). The yield value per recruit analysis showed that the optimum exploitation was 0.224 and the current exploitation rate was 0.73. The population of silver rasbora was over-exploitation, especially in small-size fish.

Abstract

SARS-2 infection is predicted to trigger DNA damage due to excessive inflammatory responses from the immune system such as cytokine storms. The cytokine storm leads to an increase in oxidative stress in cells, possibly triggering senescence through activation of the DNA damage response (DDR) signaling pathway. Alterations in the DDR pathway that induce cellular senescence have been identified due to the regulation of viral proteins that lead to impaired DNA repair. However, previous studies have not examined the relationship between DNA damage, inflammation, and cellular senescence. In this short review, we will discuss with a simple perspective why SARS-CoV-2 infection can accelerate the cellular senescence process and its relationship with the inflammatory response.

Abstract

Ethnobotanical heritages in Indonesia are exceptionally diverse because of the multicultural, multi-religious practice, and acculturation between them. The mega-biodiverse island nation is home to more than 800 ethnicities and naturally acts as sanctuary for the lush tropical ecosystems and its inhabitants. The hospitable nature of Indonesian land provides asylum for numbers of plants, including non-native species. Marigold (Tagetes erecta), a non-native ornamental plant that exhibits distinct showy flowers is cultivated and extensively grown in Indonesian lands. Beside being used as ornamental plants, some of the local communities are using marigold as a part in conducting their traditional ceremonies. This article provides some recorded traditional usage of marigold in traditional ceremonies of Indonesian communities from scientific articles. Significant usages of marigold are notably practiced by Hindu communities in Bali, Java (Tengger) and Lombok as part of their respective traditional-religious ceremonies. Vibrant color of the flower, its availability throughout the year, and easiness of cultivation are desirable traits that keep marigold usages significant. Local beliefs value marigold’s prominent flower color because it represents their Lord. The presence of marigold and its significant usage in the local communities provides space for native species to grow.

Abstract

The mangrove ecosystem is a productive ecosystem with economic and environmental functions. This research was conducted to determine the value of the ecological index and the economic potential of molluscs (Gastropods and Bivalvia) found in the Lembupurwo Lagoon Beach (part of Wawar River Estuary), Kebumen District, Central Java, Indonesia. First, mollusc sampling was carried out on a 10x10 meter plot. So its existence also needs to be known and studied more specifically. Then, the ecological index of the species found is calculated using the Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index, Evenness Index, Simpson Dominance Index, Margalef Species Richness Index, and individual Density of each species. In addition, for the economic potential of molluscs using secondary data from scientific journals. Analysis of the data obtained descriptively with the support of tables and pictures. The study results showed that there were 17 species of molluscs consisting of 12 species belonging to the gastropod class and five other species belonging to the bivalves. The families with the most common species are Neritidae=3, Ellobiidae=2, and Littorinidae=2. Whereas in the Bivalvia class, each family was only found one species. The total molluscs found had a density value of 3.95 ind/m2. The Diversity Index (H') of molluscs was 1.48 (moderate), Evenness Index was 0.52 (moderate), Margalef Richness Index was 1.71 (low), and Dominance Index was 0.28 (no species dominated). Then, for the economic potential of the mollusks found, the economic potential is dominated by the food sector. The species that have potential in the food sector include: Faunus ater Linnaeus 1758, Isognomon ephippium Linnaeus 1758, Pilsbryoconcha exilis I.Lea, 1838, Polymesoda expansa Mousson 1849, and Anadara antiquata Linnaeus 1758.

Abstract

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has become a serious concern because it can trigger the severity of complications leading to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCV is a virus with single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) type genetic material, with virions composed of structural proteins such as glycoprotein, envelope, and core, then HCV also has nonstructural proteins such as NS3, NS4, NS4B, NS5A, NS5B. The development of HCV infection therapy has been carried out through direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) with the hope of achieving a reduction in mortality and HCC risk. However, these strategies cannot fully reduce the risk of HCC in patients who have recovered from HCV infection. This review briefly reviews several factors from the virus and host to trigger cellular transformation of hepatocytes into HCC. HCV infection can trigger the transformation of hepatocytes into cancer in the case of HCC influenced by two factors consisting of pro-oncogenic and growth factors. Pro-oncogenic of HCV initiates HCC through the release of ROS that triggers genetic mutations and upregulation of proliferation in hepatocytes, it allows internal cell factors to also work in the process of transformation into cancer such as increased growth factor activity for antiapoptotic response, survival, and proliferation to trigger increased severity of HCC.
