Abstract

Abstract: Candidiasis or infection that is caused by Candida has become a new list of the therapeutical problems recently. The difficulties in diagnosing are the main cause of the unsatisfactory results from common therapies and diagnosis methods. This has urged researchers to find alternative ways in candidiasis diagnosis such as serology-based detection using antigen or antibody development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of protein derived from Candida albicans biofilm as bioreceptor on candidiasis immunoassay through Dot Blot method. The research method used descriptive method with the following stages: (1) preparation of Candida albicans biofilm (2) extraction of Candida albicans protein through enzymatic and mechanical methods, (3) determination of protein molecular weight with SDS-PAGE (4) production of polyclonal anti- candida and (5) analysis of protein extract as bioreeceptor on dot blot. Profile of biofilm proteins on SDS-PAGE analysis were shown on molecular weight 27,42; 29,89; 38,10; 44,90; 48,75; 52,92; 55,14; 59,86; 70,56; 87,36; 102,54;115,05; 130,14;143,14;181,53 kD. There were differences in the intensity of dots in the control group (44070) and treatment groups (63170.5). It is noticeable that biofilm protein extract of C. albicans can be used for induction of anti-Candida polyclonal antibody production as the potential candidate of bioreceptor in candidiasis immunoassay. Keywords: SDS-PAGE, polyclonal antibody, immunoassay, dot blot, biofilm

Abstract

Abstract: Binjai leaf is known to have effective secondary metabolites as larvacide. The aim of this study was to recognize larvacidal effectivity of Binjai leaf ethanol extract toward Aedes aegypti larva. This was experimental study with posttest only control group design by using 7 treatment and 4 replication. Treatment was available from preliminary test which were 1000, 5000, 10.000, 15.000 and 20.000 (mg/L), negative xontrol (water) and positive control (themephos 100 mg/L). Probit test resulted in LC50 value=5493.390 mg/L and LC90 value=14988.861mg/L Kruskal-Wallis test resulted in p=0,000 which meaned there was an effect of binjai leaf ethanol extract toward Aedes aegypti larva. Meanwhile, Mann-Whitney test resulted in p=0,371 which meaned there was no significant difference between concentration of 20.000 mg/L and temephos 100 mg/L.

Abstract

Abstract: Goblet cells are the immune response in the intestinal epithelium to produce mucus as a defense digestive tract mucosa caused by Trichuris muris infestation. The study purpose was to analyze the effect Trichuris muris towards goblet cells number in mice’s intestine. This research was a true experimental with the posttest control group design. The subjects were 30 male mice types BALB / c which 2 months old with an average weight 20-30 gram. Samples were taken by simple random sampling. Mice divided into a control group, low-dose group (40 worm eggs) and high-dose groups (200 worm eggs) observed for 30 days and then counted the goblet cells number in each preparation. The data analysis was tested by shapiro wilk test and one-way ANOVA and continued by post hoc test. The results demostrated the average value of the goblet cells number in the control group, low-dose and high dose increased by higher dose worm eggs and had the value (p =< 0.05). This described there were Trichuris muris’s eggs inflluence towards the goblet cells number in mice (Mus musculus). Keywords: Trichuris muris,  mice (Mus musculus), goblet cells in intestinum

Abstract: Head injuries are a public health and a serious socio-economic problems in the world. Head injury classified quantitatively using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score. Consumptive coagulopathy that often arises in patients with head injury associated with a tenfold adjusted risk of death. Consumptive coagulopathy marked by a decrease in the number of platelets. The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship between GCS score with total platelet count in head injury patients at Emergency Department Ulin General Hospital Banjarmasin. This study was an observational analytic cross sectional study. Seventy three samples were obtained according to the inclusions criteria with 28 mild head injury patients, 26 moderate head injury patients, and 19 severe head injury patients. Seven patients had thrombocytopenia, from moderate head injury and severe head injury groups. From statistical test using one way ANOVA with confidence level of 95% was obtained p=0.402. It can be concluded that there is no relationship between GCS score with total platelet count in head injury patients at Emergency Department Ulin General Hospital. Keywords: head injury, GCS, platelet count Abstrak: Cedera kepala merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat dan sosial ekonomi yang serius di dunia.

Abstract

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a clinical syndrome with characteristics of hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia can lead to the formation of excessive free radical compounds that trigger oxidative stress, especially on pancreatic β cells. Swallow nest contains amino acids which are insulin-forming compounds and glutathione that can act as a major reducing agent and antioxidant defense. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of swallow’s nest water extract as a pancreaprotector through oxidative mechanism in rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by streptozotocin. The rats induced by streptozotocin at a dose of 40 mg/kg BW and then randomly divided into 4 groups. Control groups were given aquades and 3 treatment groups, respectively were administered swallow’s nest water extract at doses of 1, 10, 100 mg/kg BW for 21 days. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured on 7, 14 and 21 day. MDA measured after  the animal is determined  at day 28th.Level of  fasting blood glucose and MDA were analyzed by statistic using Kruskal Wallis test followed by multiple comparisons Mann Whitney test. There was a significant decrease in fasting blood glucose level with p = 0.04 in all treatment groups compared the control group. The administration of swallow nest extract significantly decreased MDA pancreas with p value = 0.000 and dose 100 mg/kgBW extract of swallow’s nest significantly decrease pancreatic MDA level. The administration of swallow’s nest water extract shows decrease of fasting blood sugar and has a protective effect on the rats’ pancreas  through oxidative mechanism. Keywords: Swallows nest extract, MDA

Abstract

Abstract: Human Immunodefficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that decreases the human immunity system, therefore the infected people become susceptible to any kind of infections. Examination of CD4 lymphocyte count periodically is one of the antiretroviral therapy success indicators. The purpose of this research was to determine the difference of CD4 lymphocyte count before and after antiretroviral therapy at Ulin General Hospital Banjarmasin on 2013-2015. The method of this research was observational analytic with cross-sectional approach. The study population was 55 patients which were selected by inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results portrayed an increase of the CD4 lymphocyte count in 51 patients after being given four kinds of antiretroviral for 6 months with the mean increase in CD4 lymphocyte count was 92,72 cell/µL. Data analysis result with Wilcoxon test portrayed a difference of the CD4 lymphocyte count before and after antiretroviral therapy with p value=0,000. In conclusion, there was a significant difference of the CD4 lymphocyte count before and after antiretroviral therapy. Keywords: Human Immunodeficiency Virus, CD4, lymphocyt, antiretroviral therapy
