Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a disease caused by Dengue virus  transmitted to humans through infected Aedes aegypti and Ae. Albopictus. Dengue virus classified into 4 serotypes, including DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4. The genomes of the four dengue viruses share about 65% similarities, the rest is a genetic variation that differentiates between serotypes. Genetic variations also occur even within one serotype. This study aimed to analyse genetic variation in envelope protein E (POLY) gene sequences in Dengue Virus 2 NCBI PopSet 1760494694 using in-silico RFLP by free bioinformatic tools on internet. The restriction enzymes used were AfeI and ApaLI. The results of the in-silico RFLP in this study showed that there were genetic variations in the recognition site of the AfeI enzymes (A1 allele and A2 allele) and ApaLI (B1 allele and B2 allele) in 18 DNA sequences of the POLY gene for Dengue 2 virus NCBI PopSet 1760494694.

Abstract

Purified gambir proved to have many pharmacological activities and has the potential to be developed into standardized herbal medicines. This study was conducted to determine the safety of purified gambir to the liver histology. A total of 30 female white rats were used which divided into 4 groups: one control group and 3 test groups treated with purified gambir at doses of 5, 10 and 20 mg/kgbw orally for 14 days respectively. On the scheduled days, three animals from each group were killed for liver histological examination. The degree of liver damage and liver organ ratio in this study where were measured. The reversibility of liver damage was observed from the change in the value of the damage degree and liver organ ratio after the administration of gambir was stopped. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA followed by Duncan (significance were taken at p<0.05). The administration of purified gambir in rats for 14 days at tested groups caused significant damage to liver tissue (p<0.05). In this situation, the degree of tissue damage increased and the liver organ ratio decreased in all tested groups. After the administration was stopped, the degree of liver damage is decreased insignificantly, meanwhile the liver organ ratio is significantly increased.

Abstract

Anaerobic physical exercise aims to increase the explosive power, which is the ability of a person's muscles to do work with maximum strength in the fastest possible time. Sprint swimming exercises are often called hypoxic swimming exercises. Protein biomolecules have a major function in building muscle mass, maintaining body defences and increasing sports performance. Physical exercise occurs in a variety of systemic and cellular responses involving metabolic, immunological and hormonal changes. It is necessary to know how the total protein profile in serum after physical exercise in this case was limited to a single hypoxic swimming exercise. This was experimental research with post-test only control group design. There were three training groups, namely (5) control, (5) trained, and (5) untrained based on inclusion and exclusion criteria with the purposive sampling method. Single hypoxic swimming exercise (sprint) did along 200 m. The swimming training pattern was per 50 m without resting with two types of styles swim, freestyle and breaststroke. Measurement of total protein levels was carried out using a nanophotometer where the volume of serum used was very small. The results showed that the total protein content between the control group and the treatment group was significantly different (ANOVA, p <0.05). Between the trained and untrained groups, a decrease in total protein levels was seen in the trained group. This is probably due to the function of these proteins. It can be concluded that protein is more widely used by the body as a building element in the body, especially muscle mass. Cellular adaptive response is better when the body is in a trained condition.

Abstract

Indonesia's coastal areas have a large area and potential for mangrove ecosystems. Of the approximately 15,900 million ha of mangrove forests in the world. 27% or 4,293 million ha are in Indonesia. The Sicanang Medan Belawan mangrove forest, North Sumatra Province, is a wetland area which mostly consists of mangrove forests. In the mangrove forest, there are Rhizophora apiculata and Avicennia alba species. Mangroves have unique morphological characters as a form of adaptation to the environment, one of which is the salinity of sea water which is the level of salinity or salt content in seawater. In the mangrove forest of Sicanang Medan Belawan, there are Rhizophora apiculata and Avicennia alba species which have the characteristics of vivivar culture development. From the results of test 1 on the species Rhizopora apiculata, it was found that the highest salinity level at the muddy and sandy station was 30 ppm, and the highest pH was at 7.79, and at a temperature of 29 C. While for Avicennia alba the highest salinity value was obtained at 30.6 ppm, the highest pH was at 7.82. , and temperature at 29.5 C. Based on the results that different zoning could affect yield, the vivivary shape of mangroves also had an effect on yield. salinity affects mangroves to develop, the higher the salinity, the more difficult it is for the seeds to develop

Abstract

Terasi is one of the fermented product of shrimp or fish which is often used as food seasoning by the people. Terasi is also a source of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) which has the potential as a culture for probiotic starters. Probiotics are dietary supplements containing live microbes that profitable to their hosts. This study aimed to identify probiotic lactic acid bacteria isolated from terasi of shrimp based on the 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene sequence. LAB isolation from terasi was done by pour plate method using selective medium, MRSA (Man Rogosa Sharpe Agar). The identification of LAB in this study used a method of molecular with a marker gene of 16S rRNA. A total of 3 isolates were obtained from the isolation process. All LAB isolates are rod (Basil) positive Gram bacteria, negative catalase. Two isolates (TR 1 and TR 2) were identified as Enterococcus faecalis. While one more isolate (TR 3) were identified as Weissella cibaria.
