Judul: Aktivitas Antihiperglikemik dan Antioksidan Buah Bakau Merah (Rhizophora stylosa Griff.)
Abstrak: Red mangrove (R. stylosa) is one of rhizoporaceae which has been widely used as antidiabetic drugs. One of the way how to prevent and treat diabetic is by inhibiting activity of the enzyme α-glucosidase. The purpose of this research was to determine the antihyperglycemic activity of crude extract of the red mangrove (R. stylosa) fruit. The research was performed in several steps there were characterization of mangrove fruit, extraction (maceration), proximate test (AOAC 2005), toxicity test (BSLT), antihyperglycemic test (α-glucosidase inhibition), antioxidant test (DPPH), and phytochemical test (Harborne 1987). The result showed that the methanol extract had the highest yield compared to other extracts equal to 3.45%. The methanol extract possessed the most toxic with LC50 values of 116.96 ppm. Ethyl acetate extract had the highest value of α-glucosidase inhibition (IC50) in the amount of 285.56 ppm, followed by methanol extract of 474.97 ppm, and n-hexane extract of >15000 ppm. The antioxidant test result of ethyl acetate extract showed IC50 value 79.71 ppm. Phytochemical test of ethyl acetate extract showed positive results on phenol hydroquinone, flavonoid, steroid and triterpenoid

Judul: Pengaruh Fermentasi terhadap Kandungan Senyawa Bioaktif dan Aktivitas Antioksidan Buah Bakau Merah (Rhizophora stylosa)
Abstrak: The aim of this research was to determine the influence of fermentation to bioactive compound and antioxidant activity of red mangrove fruit (Rhizophora.stylosa Griff.). Red mangrove fruit was fermented by added yeast and salt. In this study, the data were conducted in week of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. The bioactive compounds detected in fermented extract of fruit mangrove were steroid, saponin, and tannin. The result showed that fermented extract of red mangrove fruit increased antioxidant activity in week 0 until week 8. The toxicity Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) showed low toxicity with LC50 value were between 200 ppm until 700 ppm in whole week.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
