Abstract

Carcinogen compounds are the compounds that cause DNA damage and trigger cancer. TNF-α and TGF-β are cytokines produced by immune cells and serve to maintain body homeostasis. Elephantopus scaber is a plant that prevents the cancer progression, and improve the body's immune system, so this study was conducted to determine the effect of E. scaber extract on TNF-α and TGF-β after the administration of carcinogen compounds. The study was conducted by administering the carcinogen compound DMBA with a dosage of 0.56 mg kg-1 BW and estradiol with a dose of 0.0504 mg kg-1 BW which was given alternately for 8 weeks to the Mus musculus test animals. The study was conducted in 3 groups: K- (the normal group of mice), K + (a carcinogen-induced group of mice), and P (a group of carcinogen-induced mice and E. scaber extract). The treatment was done in 1 week, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks. Immune cells were isolated from splenocytes and performed immunostaining for flow cytometry analysis. The computed relative amount is TNF-α produced by macrophages CD11b and TGF-β produced by Treg CD4CD25. The relative number of cells was analyzed by two-way ANOVA and advanced Tukey test with 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed no significant differences in the number of cytokines TNF-α and TGF-β in both the carcinogen-induced mice group and the mice group was given the extract of Elephantopus scaber for 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks. Keywords: Carcinogen, Elephantopus scaber, TNF-α, TGF-β

Abstract

Accumulated the toxic compound such as lead in A. woodiana caused an alteration in tissue. The aim of the present study is observation through histology to determine the alteration of the structure of digestive diverticulum tissue. A. woodiana were maintained in water tub that treated lead II nitrate exposure (Pb(NO3)2) 0, 15, 25, 35 mgL-1 for 7 days to determine the alteration of the structure of damaged the digestive diverticulum and determining water quality such temperature, DO and pH. The highest damage occurs in digestive diverticulum treated 35 mgL-1  due to the many alteration tissue structure such as hyperplasia, edema, atrophy, necrosis with the percentage of total damage of about 35%. the lowest alteration tissue structure occurs in 15 mgL-1 treatment group of the digestive diverticulum. the temperature was observed at about 25.3 - 26.4°C, pH about 6-7, and DO about 6.1-6.7 mgL-1. Thus, the increment of lead dose treatment induces increment of tissue structure alteration in digestive diverticula tissue, therefore, might promote the death of Anodonta woodiana. Keywords: Anodonta woodiana, digestive diverticulum, histology

Abstract

Heated food is a source of formation of various types of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs). One of which is N-carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) that is often used as a sign of the formation of AGEs in the diet. The accumulation of AGEs in the brain can trigger neurodegenerative conditions. It also accelerates the accumulation of Amyloid β and proinflammatory cytokines which exacerbate neurodegeneration. Hibiscus sabdariffa L or rosella known to have antiglycation, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. This study aims to prove the effect of food heating to the increasing levels of CML serum and evaluate the effects of daily intake of Rosella extract IL-6 levels and Amyloid β in the Wistar rats' brain given a diet high of AGEs. This experimental study with post test only control group design was conducted using 25 white male rats Wistar strain (Rattus novergicus) which were divided into 5 groups namely positive control, negative control, the treatment group with rosella dose 200mg.kgBW-1, 300mg.kgBW-1, and 400mg.kgBW-1. The high diets of AGEs are given for 12 weeks, and it was added to the rosella extract with various doses on the 9th to 12th weeks. The examination of CML serum level, interleukin 6 brain level, and Amyloid β of the brain was carried by ELISA. This study found differences between CML serum level of rats which fed a standard diet and the one that was given a heated diet (p= 0.0001). It also found that rosella flower extract can prevent the increasing levels of interleukin 6 and Amyloid β in the brain tissue of rats which were given a heated diet, and both effective doses were on 200mg.kgBW-1. Keywords: Advanced Glycation End products, Amyloid β, Interleukin 6, N-carboxymethyl-lysine, Rosella.

Abstract

This article discussed a dynamical analysis on a model of predator-prey Leslie-Gower with omnivores which is modified by Lotka-Volterra model with omnivore. The dynamical analysis is done by determining the equilibrium point with its existing condition and analyzing the local stability of the equilibrium point. Based on the analysis, there are seven points of equilibrium. Three of them always exist while the four others exist under certain conditions. Four points of equilibrium, namely and are unstable, while the others three equilibrium point are local asymptotically stable under certain conditions. Moreover, it's also conducted numerical simulations to illustrate the analytical. The results of numerical simulations agree with the results of the dynamical analysis. Keywords: local stability, omnivore, predator-prey models, the equilibrium point

Abstract

Environmental pollution in the form of increased concentration of heavy metal Copper (Cu) becomes the main factor that can affect water quality and inhibit green mussel culture (Perna viridis) in Ujung Pangkah Coastal Area of Gresik District. The purpose of this research is to analyze concentration of heavy metal Copper (Cu) on water and its bioaccumulation in green mussel (P. viridis) in Ujung Pangkah waters, Gresik District. This research will be conducted from June to August 2017. The method used in this research is descriptive method. Sampling of seawater and mussel by purposive sampling. Cu heavy metal content in Ujung Pangkah waters, Gresik District has 0.003 - 0.006 ppm in July and 0.002 - 0.006 ppm in August. That value is still safe below predetermined quality standards. The results of heavy metal measurement test in shellfish has 0.159 to 0.69 ppm in July and 0.162 - 0.71 ppm in August. The high concentrations of Cu heavy metals in Ujung Pangkah waters are simultaneous to the bioaccumulation concentration in the green mussel. The higher concentration in the waters, the higher the bioaccumulation in the green mussels. And vice versa. The distribution of Cu heavy metal concentration at point 4 is the highest. While at point 1 has the lowest Cu heavy metal concentration. Keywords: Copper, Bioaccumulation, Green Mussel, Heavy Metal, Perna viridis.

Abstract

In this paper, optimal control of tumor growth model with dendritic cells as immunotherapy is provided. The model equation can be expressed into a nonlinear differential equation system consisting of four compartments namely, tumor cells, CTL cells, helper T cells, and dendritic cells. Dendritic cells as immunotherapy are injected to the body at time t. The aim of this optimal control is to minimize the tumor cells density as well as the cost of dendritic cells to be administered to the body.Optimal control problem is carried out based on Pontryagin's maximum principle and numerical simulation is solved by using Forward-Backward Sweep methods. Simulation results show that control strategy shrinks tumor cells density which is shown by tumor cells density graph that monotonically decreases after applying dendritic cells as immunotherapy.Keywords: immunotherapy, optimal control, Tumor cell.
