Abstrak: From the survey of 4377 Indonesian toddlers, there are about 19.63% severely malnourished and moderately malnourished, 32.75% have abnormal height, 10.28% have abnormal weight, 54.97% live in poor housing and sanitation, 66.96% live in unhealthy environment, and 52.64% have family with middle-level economy. Severely malnourished children has a very thin to thin weight characteristics. Moderately malnourished children is thin to normal, has a very short stature, low level of health, and low-level economy. Parental education has an important role in health and condition of living environment. The lack of economic families is not always followed by malnourished children. But, family with high-level economy is followed by overnourished children. The more healthy living environment of toddler, the better nutritional status. Region of Kalimatan and eastern Indonesia seems to be priority in reduction of malnourished children. Parameters of geographic, economic, sanitation and housing, and neighborhoods do not seem good enough in describing the nutritional status of toddler. The better parameters in describing the nutritional status are household expenditure, the percentage of expenditure for toodler, the number and the order of children in the family, home ownership status, and spacious home inhabited. In addition, the design of survey area should be made more scientific.

Abstrak: The present study aims to analyze relationship between the implementation of balanced nutrition messages of family and behavior family nutrition awareness with under five years child nutritional status in West Kalimantan Province. The method used in this study was an observational study with cross sectional design. Samples were households with children aged 6-59 months who were taken from the Health Research Data Base (Riskesdas) in year 2007. The sampling method used was a two stage sampling, each with the number of households using probability proportional to size and simple random sampling. A total of 1 992 households was use in the study. Weight for height, weight for age and height for age index were used to measure under five years child nutritional status. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze relationship of each variable. The results showed that the West Kalimantan Province had acute-chronic problem of malnutrition, indicated by the high prevalence of nutritional status of wasting reached 17.0% (> 5%), stunting at 43.4% (> 20% ) and underweigh for 24.1% (> 10%). There was a significant correlation (?< 0.05) between infection, maternal education and environmental health with the nutritional status of children in the index of weight for age. Energy consumption, maternal education, environmental health and behavior family nutrition awareness have significant relationship with nutritional status of children on the index height for age. Three messages did not meet criteria as required by the Indonesian Food Guidelines. They were eat food with energy needs requaired, eat half of food sources of carbohydrate for energy needs and eating one of fourth of food sources of fat for energy needs. Logistic multiple regression analysis showed that failure to follow the the Family Nutrition Awareness had 1.21 risk for children to became stunting than family to follow to guideline properly. In conclusion, socialization and development of Indonesia Food Guidelines in West Kalimantan Province is still needed. The messages delivery modes should be more effective ans easy understood by society, especially for the toddler’s mother.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
