Abstrak: The purpose of this research was to study ketamine-acepromazine combination effect on gastrointestinal motility with contrast radiography method. Three adult male domestic cats with body weight 2.5-3.5 kg were used in this study. Radiographs were both taken in anesthetized (10 mg/kg BW ketamine and 0.075 mg/kg BW acepromazine) and unanesthetized within 1 week interval. Radiographs were taken at 5, 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes after administration of 12 mg/kg BW barium sulphate (30% w/v). Both ventrodorsal and laterolateral views were used in this study. Data were then visually analyzed by locating transit time of contrast agent in 5 zone division, and quantitatively by measuring the contractibility then statistically tested with ANOVA. Results showed lower contractility in anesthetized group compared to unanesthetized group in both ventrodorsal and laterolateral view. Transit time was found slower in anesthetized condition. In conclusion, the findings indicate that ketamine-acepromazine depress the motility of gastrointestinal

Abstrak: This research was conducted to figure the effect of tiletamine-zolazepam (Zoletil®) on the gastrointestinal motility in a Domestic House Cat (DHC) through contrast radiography study. Three male DHC weighing between 2.5 and 3.5 kg were used in this study. Radiography procedure was performed twice on each cat: without anesthesia and one week later with anesthesia (0.02 mg/BW Atropine and 10 mg/BW Zoletil®). Cats were given a positive contrast, barium sulphate (BaSO4) (12 ml/kg BW intra orally, 30% w/v) followed by radiography study. Radiography was performed at 5, 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes after administration of BaSO4. Cats were positioned on laterolateral and ventrodorsal views. Data were analyzed descriptively using zone division and quantitatively by measuring the difference between the intestine’s diameter during contraction and relazation. The intestinal diameter was measured and statistically tested using ANOVA. Result showed that in minute 180, BaSO4 has reached zone four in the unanesthetized cat while in the anesthetized cat it still empty. The diameter differences of the unanesthetized cat was higher compared to the anesthetized which means the intestinal contraction in the unanesthetized cat was higher. This means that tiletamine-zolazepam anaestetic reduces the motility and strength contraction of the gastrointestinal.

Judul: Biodeteriorasi Kayu Dalam Variasi Perlakuan Sinar Matahari dan Air
Abstrak: Indonesia diketahui mempunyai sekitar 120,35 juta hektar hutan tropis. Berdasarkan luasannya, hutan tropis Indonesia menempati urutan ketiga setelah Brasil dan Republik Demokrasi Kongo (FWI dan GFW, 2001). Indonesia juga dikenal sebagai negara mega biodiversity (memiliki keanekaragaman hayati yang tinggi). Negeri ini mempunyai tidak kurang dari 4000 jenis kayu yang tersebar disepanjang hutan. Namun dari jumlah tersebut tidak lebih dari 200 jenis kayu telah dikenal dan secara komersil diperdagangkan selama ini. Laju deforestasi saat ini yang diperkirakan mencapai lebih dari 3 juta ha/ tahun menyebabkan keberadaan jenis kayu komersial kian berkurang. Walupun demikian permintaan kayu sebagai bahan baku masih sangat tinggi, sehingga dibutuhkan bahan baku lain berupa kayu solid yang dapat mensubtitusi jenis-jenis kayu komersial yang ada. Dalam hal ini kayu sengon sebagai kayu cepat tumbuh (fast growing species) dan kayu kelapa hibrida sebagai jenis kayu yang kurang dikenal (lasser known species) dapat menjadi pilihan untuk dapat menggantikan jenis-jenis kayu komersial yang ada.
