Abstract

This research abjective is to analyze the difference of abundance, diversity and composition of canopy insect in Poncokusumo and Bumiaji on blossoming and fruiting seasons. Insect compostions were observed by regular sampling using blue and yellow  water pan trap. Water pan traps were suspended on apple stands at 2 m height. Sampling efforts was done by block system on 5 trees with 4 times collection, resulting 20 replications. Difference of mean was tested using general linear model analysis of variance. The canopy insect compositions between location were compared using Bray-Curtis similarity index. Overall, canopy insect diversity in two study sites was low. The abundance and diversity of canopy insect in Poncokusumo was higher than that in Bumiaji. The abundance and diversity of canopy insect in yellow traps was higher than that in blue traps. The effect of flowering phenology was significant on the overall abundance but not for the diversity. The effect of study locations on the abundance interacted with season. This meant there was a seasonal variation afecting location.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is a group of several risk factors consist of hypertension, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance disorder, obesity, and has a relationship with CVD pathomechanism. WHO was report in 2003 more than 300 million adult in the world suffered from obesity. The role of adipose tissue in infectious diseases and adipocyte quality changes after exposure to pathogen has not been revealed. On the other hand, the prevalence of infectious diseases in developing country is still high. Previous studies proved a relationship between infection of Toxoplasma gondii and tissue dysfunction. Profilin is a membrane component of Toxoplasma gondii that able to stimulate expression of proinflammation cytokines through TLR-11 upregulation, and predicted able to trigger the adipocyte dysfunction. The aim of this study are to knows the effect of profilin exposure in vitro on subcutaneous adipocyte to the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α. The measurement of IL-6 and TNF-a levels was done by ELISA technique. The result showed profilin exposure doses 5, 15 and 25 ng / ml increasing IL-6. Profilin exposure cause adipocyte dysfunction through the increasing proinflammatory adipocytokine levels as pathomechanism of metabolic syndrome associated with adipose tissue.

Abstract

Introduction. Obesity is a metabolic syndrome as risk factor to the cardiovascular disease. Obesity occurs caused by adipocyte massive that is started by proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes that involves transcription factors such as C/EBPα ,PPARγ and SREBP-1. Is known the TNF α and [Ca2+]i Increase when adiponectin decrease at the end of adipocyte differentiation. Therefore it is a deemed treat the obesity through the inhibition of adipocyte proliferation and differentiation using natural resources. Quercetin in due of the flavonoid found in apple,vegetables etc. The aim of this study is to prove the affectivity of quercetin to inhibit proliferation and differentiation of preadipocyte through inhibited of C/EBPα in rat preadipocytes culture method.Methods. Their study was a laboratory experimental. Quercetin was exposed to the preadipocytes human culture, after it was induced by differentiation stimulator the doses quercetin was grouped in: control, 50 µM (Q50), 125 µM (Q125) and 625 µM (Q625) groups. The amount of proliferation and differentiation was descriptive analyzed. The expression of C/EBPα, were identified by Immunocytochemistry and western blotting.Result. Quercetin 100 inhibited the rate of proliferation cell, while quersetin 625 inhibited differentiation in preadipocytes culture. There was a dose dependent to quersetin towards the decrease of PPARγ expression and C/EBPα expression in this preadipocytes culture.Conclusion. It is conclusion that quersetin inhibits proliferation and differentiation preadipocytes culture through the decrease of the expresion of C/EBP α.

Abstract

Latar Belakang. Lupus Eritematosus Sistemik (LES) merupakan penyakit autoimun yang semakin sering dijumpai dengan angka kematian tinggi. Etiopatogenesis penyakit ini belum begitu jelas, meskipun telah ditunjukkan adanya abnormalitas berbagai sel-sel imun termasuk hiper-reaktivitas sel T, sel B, sel dendrit; dan menurunnya fungsi sel T regulator (Treg). Vitamin D memiliki peran dalam pengaturan sistem imun. Penelitian pada ras Kaukasia menunjukkan bahwa kadar vitamin D yang rendah berkaitan dengan timbulnya penyakit autoimun termasuk LES. Peran vitamin D pada sistem imun pasien LES masih banyak kontroversi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kadar vitamin D dengan jumlah sel Treg.Metoda Penelitian. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kasus-kontrol yang membandingkan jumlah sel Treg pada pasien LES dan kontrol sehat dengan melihat status vitamin D-nya. Kadar vitamin D pasien LES diukur dengan metoda ELISA, jumlah sel Treg (CD4+,CD25+,FoxP3+) ditentukan dengan metoda flowcytometri.Hasil. Kadar vitamin D pada pasien LES lebih rendah daripada kontrol sehat (p=0,000) dan didapatkan korelasi negatif antara status vitamin D dengan persentase sel Treg (koefisien korelasi -0,358 dan p=0,006). Hal ini mungkin merupakan umpan balik positif untuk menanggulangi hiperreaktifitas dari sel T dan sel B.Kesimpulan. Status vitamin D berkorelasi negatif dengan persentase sel Treg.

Abstract

Ciherang rice is one of the national rice seed production with an average production and potential yield 6 and 8.5 tons/ha respectively. In case of farmers in Batu, the actual production was lower than the average production of Ciherang rice, however there were many natural resources which can support production. Research was aimed to determine the influence of application of synthetic fertilizers and biourine in rice cv Ciherang on farm. It was conducted on Andisol soil, Ngujung, Batu, ca. 24 km from the city of Malang to the northwest at 900 m above sea level (m asl), and average temperature of 22°C. Research was conducted from June to October 2012, by a factorial randomized block design with 2 factors. First factor was application of biourine with 0 (TB) and 1000 l/ha (B). The last factor was application of 6 combinations of fertilizers i.e.: 1) 1st combination of NPK, 150 kg N/ha (urea): 50 kg P2O5/ha ( SP36 ): 70 kg K2O/ha (KCl), 2) 2nd combination of N(50 kg N /ha ( urea ), 25 kg P2O5 /ha (SP36) and 35 kg K2O/ha (KCl), 3) 600 kg/ha of Phonska (NPK; 15 :15 :15), 4) 300 kg/ha of Phonska (NPK; 15 :15 :15), 5) 20 tons/ha of cow manure and, 6 ) 10 tons/ha of cow manure. This experiment was consisted of 12 combinations of treatments and repeated three times. Results showed that averages of plant height, Leaf Area Index (LAI), time of flowering, time of harvesting, the number of tillers plant, number of panicles per culm, number of grains and 1000 grain weight were 88.8 cm, 4.39, ca. 60 days after planting (DAP), 125 DAP, 23.9 plants, 21.6, 152.7 grains/panicle and 26.8 g, respectively. The average highest yield of rice was 1351.7 kg/m2 (by 1st combination of NPK, 150 kgN/ha (urea), 50 kg P2O5/ha (SP36) and 70 kg K2O/ha (KCl) plus 1000 liters of biourine application and the average lowest yield was 796.7 kg/m2 which treated by10 tons/ha cow manure.

Abstract

We have been genotyping the Filius (F6) sweet corn lines that currently ready to be evaluated by multi-location and heterosis test.Normally, in the step of breeding program, releasing varieties followed by seed production and distribution would be done after such tests that  costly needed and time consuming. Traditional institution of farmer group called in Indonesia as “Gapoktan” and the Religious teaching stage called as “Ponpes” have been  known as non-formal institution which have high potency and unique networking access to surrounding public citizen and other informal institutions.  As so did, they can be as a producer and virtual guarantor or good marketing agent of many agricultural products as well. Therefore, a mutual partnership model established between breeder and them is very important and to be a prospective idea to short cut breeding process and hybrid seed production. Scientific accountability and efficiency of whole breeding – seed production would be kept into main consideration. The concept was “Gapoktan” and “Ponpes” firstly would be trained to adopt technology for crossing to set F1 Hybrid seed, then the results would be evaluated and compared with those done by breeder to determine whether they eligible or not. If they did so, partnership would be mutully continued and they would be encouraged to distribute F1 seeds to other “gapoktan” or public citizens. Three nominated Gapoktan and Ponpes from separated regencies, i.e., Pasuruan, Malang and Batu were determined as the model.The results showed that F1 seed production variable as indicator achievement of them were not significantly different from those of breeder in any place. Even though in between the places they did differ in several vegetative and productive factors each other. The differences were probably caused by ecological factors, not by their capability in agriculture practicing. Based on standard of common farming of corn or sweet corn in East Java, benefit gain increment by farmer caused by such partnership in F1seed production reached about 150% to 247%. So that, partnership model for producing multi-location test as well as producing hybrid seeds between Breeder-Gapoktan-Ponpes was economically prospective and scientifically eligible to do so. On the benefit consideration gained by farmers, Pasuruan was the place where the most attractive to be done partnership model followed by Malang and Batu.
