Abstract

We aimed to analyze the effect of CSN1S2 protein in Etawah crossbred goat milk and yogurt on the histopathology of the jejunum and the amount of cell damage in Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rats. The rats were divided into six groups: the untreated control rats (C), control rats were given CSN1S2 protein from Etawah crossbred goat milk (CM) or yogurt (CY), RA rats, RA rats given CSN1S2 protein from Etawah crossbred goat milk (RAM) or yogurt (RAY). Hematoxylin-eosin staining was conducted for the histopathological analysis of jejunum. Statistical analysis was done using one-way ANOVA (a significance value of p ≤ 0.05) followed by the Tukey test. Our study observed that the control, CM, and CY group have a normal histological structure of jejunum. The damage to the jejunum structure was reported in the RA group. The milk CSN1S2 protein was able to improve the structure of jejunum villi and increase the normal cell number in the jejunum of the RA group, similar to control. The RAY group showed an impaired jejunum structure and a high number of necrotic cells as in the RA group.

Abstract

Hyperglycemia is a medical condition when the blood glucose levels increase exceeds the reasonable limit. Hyperglycemia is a typical sign of diabetes mellitus (DM). Indonesia is the sixth-ranked country in the world after China, India, United States, Brazil, and Mexico. Treatment with herbs is currently being developed. Pare (Momordica charantia) and Belimbing wuluh (Averrhoa bilimbi) are plants that found around us. Some studies state that each of these plants can be anti-diabetic. The hyperglycemia can cause an immune system disorder characterized by pancreatic β cell death involving IL-1β, kappa B (NF)-κB nuclear factor, and Fas. The ability of NF-kB activation will affect the number of cytokines expressed by T cells, namely TNF-α, and IFN-γ. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of NF-kB activation on blood glucose levels in hyperglycemia mice. The results showed that the positive control treatment showed an increase in the number of NF-kB activations in CD4 and CD8 cells. EPBW (combination of Averrhoa bilimbi extract and Momordica charantia) administration results at a dose of 10 mg.kg-1 BW showed a reduction in the amount of activated NF-kB as a substitute for the reduction. In addition, that dose can reduce blood sugar levels in mice hyperglycemia model.

Abstract

The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is one of the stochastic algorithms that can be applied to solve many real-world optimization problems. In this paper, The ABC algorithm was used to estimate the parameter of the epidemic influenza model. This model consists of a differential system represented by variations of Susceptible (S), Exposed (E), Recovered (R), and Infected (I). The ABC processes explore the minimum value of the mean square error function in the current iteration to estimate the unknown parameters of the model. Estimating parameters were made using participation data containing influenza disease in Australia, 2017. The best parameter chosen from the ABC process matched the dynamical behavior of the influenza epidemic field data used. Graphical analysis was used to validate the model. The result shows that the ABC algorithm is efficient for estimating the parameter of the epidemic influenza model. Keywords: ABC, Epidemic, Estimate, Influenza, Parameter.

Abstract

The increase of crab meat export activities in Indonesia leads to the accumulation of crab shell waste in a massive amount that can naturally degrade and causing bad odor. Naturally, microorganisms will degrade this waste through fermentation and enzymatic reaction, including protease and chitinase due to its high content of chitin and protein. Bacillus is the most potential bacteria to degrade crab shell waste, and indigenous Bacillus from this waste can increase the degradation rates. The aims of this study were to evaluate the proteolytic and chitinolytic activities of indigenous Bacillus species from crab shell waste. Bacillus cereus BP14 and Bacillus licheniformis CK20 as the chitinolytic bacteria, and Bacillus subtilis AP9 and Bacillus licheniformis AP5 as the proteolytic bacteria were isolated from crab shell waste and identified based on the 16S rDNA sequences. The bacterial isolates were grown in skim milk broth for proteolytic characterization and colloidal chitin broth for chitinolytic characterization. The growth rates of each bacteria were determined through the growth curves. The enzymatic activities were determined based on the international standard for protease and chitinase enzyme activities together with growth curve sampling to determine the best incubation time for obtaining the highest enzymatic activities. From the shortest to the longest generation times of the Bacillus species obtained were B. subtilis AP9, B. licheniformis CK20, B. cereus BP14, and B. licheniformis AP5, respectively. The best incubation time for producing the highest enzymatic activity varied among species. However, the end of the logarithmic phase was similar. All of the Bacillus species obtained from this study exhibited chitinolytic and proteolytic activity. Therefore, it can be used as promising candidates of biodegradation agents inenhancing the degradation rates of crab shell wastes.

Abstract

Green tea is a popular functional beverage mostly due to its high antioxidant activity. However, based on preliminary study, the taste such as its bitterness and flavour were somehow disliked by Indonesian consumers, and therefore formulation with other materials such as the addition of cinnamon and lemon peel may bring an advantage.This research was aimed to study the effect of formulation of bagged Indonesian green tea with cinnamon and lemon peel to the physicochemical characteristics of the tea and its consumer acceptance. Evaluation on the effect of different steeping time while brewing those tea formulas was also reported. The formula being investigated was F1, F2, and F3 with green tea: cinnamon: lemon peel at the ratio of 70:15:15, 70:12:18, and 70:9:21, respectively.Tea brewing was performed at 100°C, followed by a steeping time (L) at 1, 3, and 5 minutes. The results indicated that the addition of more cinnamon and longer steeping time had increased total phenol and antioxidant activity of the brewed tea. Based on the consumer acceptance test, the formula ofgreen tea: cinnamon:lemon peel at 70:15:15 along with 3 minutes steeping time, was generally scored highest for degree of liking but the ratio of 70:12:18 was the most accepted or preferred for aroma.The best treatment was achieved on the ratio of green tea:cinnamon:lemon peel = 70:12:18, under 5 minutes steeping time. The best treatment provided a pH of 5.13, lightness (L*) at 44.93, redness(a*) at -2.50, yellowness (b*) at 16.93, total phenol of 59.82 mgGAE.g-1, and IC50 of 59.39 ppm.

Abstract

The methyltestosterone hormone is a synthetic hormone of androgen and has been used to obtain the juveniles of male mono-sexual fish such as Tetra Congo, Tilapia, and Betta. The methyltestosterone use on gourami has not maximized. It because there is no data on the exact age of larvae to produce maximum male mono-sexual juveniles, so it is necessary to do research on the effect of methyltestosterone hormone on the age of gourami larvae on the success of male mono-sexual formation and get the right larval period to obtain maximum survival gourami. The methods of this research were conducted using a completely randomized design with four treatments of the age of gourami larvae aged ten days, 15 days, 20 days, and 25 days. Each procedure was repeated three times. Data analysis used ANOVA analysis and LSD test. The larvae are soaked in a solution containing 5 ppm of hormones for 24 hours. The results showed that the administration of the hormone methyltestosterone to gourami larvae (Osphronemus goramy Lacepè¨de, 1801) with different ages had a very significant effect (P <0.01) on male sex formation with the highest average percentage of males obtained in treatment B (15-day larvae age) that is equal to 82.33% and the lowest in the treatment of larval period of 10 and 20 days is 74.00%. Keywords: Gourami, hormone, juvenile, methyltestosterone, Osphronemus goramy.

Abstract

Palopo, South Sulawesi, is one of the traditional industrial centers of sago processing. The accumulation of sago pith waste around industrial sites can pollute the environment. Some microorganisms can degrade the cellulose in sago pith waste. This study was aimed to evaluate the indigenous cellulolytic bacteria from sago pith waste as a biodegradation agent. Bacteria were isolated from sago pith waste and grown on a 1% Carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC) agar medium. The cellulolytic activity was analyzed semiquantitatively using 1% Congo red and quantitatively using the 3,5-Dinitrosalicylic Acid (DNS) method at pH variations of 4, 5, and 6. The potential isolate was identified based on 16S rDNA sequence similarity. This study obtained 21 bacterial isolates where six isolates were A1D, A1E, A1I, A1K, A2A, and B1A had the highest cellulolytic index at 0.82 - 1.13. Among those six isolates, the A1E isolate had the highest cellulolytic activity, 0.54 U.mL-1 at pH 6. The isolate A1E was identified as Burkholderia cepacia JCM 2799 with 99.73% similarity of 16S rDNA sequence. Keywords: Burkholderia cepacia, cellulolytic bacteria, cellulase enzyme, sago waste.

Abstract

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a type of nosocomial infection that mostly occurs in intensive care units, generally occurring 48 hours after intubation. Endotracheal intubation and the use of a mechanical ventilator are invasive measures by patients, having a therapeutic effect. This paper aimed to identify the use of oral hygiene materials for the incidence of pneumonia related to the use of a ventilator. The research design was by searching literature in five databases, namely PubMed, Proquest, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar, by taking all databases in English and Indonesian, published in the last ten years (2010-2020). There were six articles about the effectiveness of using oral hygiene as risk prevention for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) with various concentrations and volumes. Several oral health assessment tools that can be used are Oral Assessment Guide, Beck Oral Assessment Scale, or Mucosal-Plaque Score. Comprehensive implementation of oral hygiene can improve the oral health of patients with mechanical ventilation, so bacterial colonization that causes VAP can be prevented. Therefore, nurses need to understand and apply oral assessment instruments as a basis for giving intervention.Keywords: Intensive care unit, Oral hygiene, Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
