The liver is an important organ for body metabolism process. Liver disease is one of serious health problems in developing countries including Indonesia. Liver damage is caused by viral infection, toxic agent exposure (medications, alcohol), hormonal disturbance, neoplasm and autoimmune diseases. The use of high dose paracetamol to reduce pain also leads to liver damage. Apple (Malus domestica) juice is a natural anti oxidant agent. This laboratory experimental study was performed to discover the effect of giving apple juice on damaged cell regeneration due to the use of paracetamol. The study was performed in 21 male mice from Swiss-Webster strain that were divided into group I, II, and III. Group, I served as control while group II received 1 mg/ml paracetamol dose for 5 days and Group III received 1 mg/ml paracetamol for 5 days and 1 ml of apple juice on the 5th to 10th day. The observation of the mice liver cells was conducted using a light microscope with 400x magnification to get the number of necrotic liver cells per view field. The results of this study showed a difference in the number of necrotic liver cells between Group II and III. ANOVA statistical test ( = 0.05) concluded that apple juice significantly helps regeneration process in damaged liver cells caused by paracetamol.

The Thumb Rule of Leonardo da Vinci states that many proportions of the face show relationship with the length of thumb which is measured from the proximal tip of the proximal phalanx to the distal tip of the distal phalanx. Previous studies have shown that the length of the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) is similar to the length of thumb of the Caucasoid race. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the length of VDO have correlations with the length of thumb among those of the Mongoloid race. This study took a survey method with the analytical cross-sectional approach. A total of 80 students of Faculty of Dentistry who have fulfilled all population criteria were randomly chosen to measure the length of VDO and the length of the thumb. Results analyzed with Student's t-test statistic revealed that there was a significant difference between males and females in the length of VDO and the length of the thumb, however, there was no significant difference between the length of VDO and the length of the thumb. There were very strong correlations (P<0.05) between the length of VDO and the length of the thumb. As a conclusion, the length of thumb can be suggested as an objective method to determine the length of VDO in this population.

Saliva gives a considerable influence against the growth of dental caries as a natural defense against caries. the things very important about saliva are its flow rate and buffering capacity. the decrease in saliva flow rate might cause food retention that furthermore would turn into dental plaques, meanwhile it’s buffering capacity will play a considerable role in maintaining the saliva’s pH and remineralization process of the teeth. One of the mechanisms which are considered to be effective in preventing dental caries is teeth brushing which could change the pH of 5,6 to a normal level. And the right time of teeth brushing will provide an optimal result.The study aims to reveal the influence of teeth brushing time against saliva buffering capacity. The study is an analytic study using a quasi-experimental design. The samples of the study are 20 (twenty) students of dentistry in Health Ministry of Bandung which was purposively selected the sample is divided into 3 groups. The first group is treated by brushing their teeth right after eating bread, the second and third group is treated 15 and 30 minutes after eating bread. The hypothesis uses Kruskal Wallis hypothesis continued by Mann Whitney test, strikethrough. The study reveals that the group brushed their teeth right after eating bread shows low category of saliva buffering is that 55% meanwhile those who brushed their teeth 15 and 30 minutes after eating bread exhibits the result as much as 65% and 25 % Thus the last group is included to those who have a medium risk of suffering from dental carries. The statistics of Kruskal Wallis test within the confidence level of 95% shows that there is an influence of teeth brushing time over the saliva buffering capacity with p<0,001. Mann Whitney test shows that the time of teeth brushing within 15 minutes after eating is better than the group who brush their teeth 30 minutes after eating.

Background: HIV infection appears to have direct effects on oral mucosal immunity, cellular and humoral. Antibody secretion, especially salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA), is a useful indicator of mucosal immune function. This immune system component is recognized as an important first-line of defence against pathogens which colonize and invade mucosal surfaces in the oral cavity. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate salivary IgA levels and to determine its correlation with CD4+ T-cell counts among HIV-infected patients in Pokdisus AIDS Cipto Mangunkusomo Hospital Jakarta. Methods: The design study was using a cross-sectional study. Whole paraffin-wax-stimulated saliva was collected from 103 HIV-infected patients and 30 healthy individuals. Saliva was collected using the spitting method. Salivary IgA levels were determined by the immunoturbidimetry method using the Behring Turbitimer Analyser. CD4+ T-cell counts were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: Salivary IgA levels were 141.55 ± 83.23 (HIV group) and 97.24 ± 38.25 (healthy individuals). The Mann-Whitney U test showed salivary IgA levels were significantly higher in HIV/AIDS subjects compared with healthy individuals (p<0.1). Most of the subject has severe immunosuppression with CD4+ T-cell counts <200 cell/mm.3 Pearson’s correlation test between CD4+ T-cell counts and salivary IgA levels showed no significant correlation (r= 0.06, p>0.1). Conclusion: This study indicates that total salivary IgA levels were significantly higher in the HIV-infected patients compared to control, and salivary IgA level seems not to be related significantly to CD4+ T-cell counts.

The aims of this study were to introduce fixed symmetrograph as a device to analyze arch symmetry and to compare the result of arch symmetry measurements using such appliance with commonly used symmetrograph in Faculty of Dentistry Padjadjaran Universitas (Orthocross). Twenty based study models used in this study. The method used in this study was by comparing the result of measurement using orthocross with the result of measurements using fixed symmetrograph. The result of this study revealed there was no significant difference between measurement using orthocross with measurement using fixed symmetrograph (P>0,05). Based on the result of this study, it is recommended to use this fixed symmetrograph, because there were several advantages using this device, for example, symmetrograph’s midlines superimpose exactly with study model’s midlines with the aid of two vertical pins. Even more, the study model can be fixated using two fixators so that the study model and fixed symmetrograph were not moving during measurement.
