Judul: Status yodium, status gizi, dan kecerdasan pada anak sekolah dasar di wilayah pegunungan Kabupaten Cianjur
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis status iodium, status gizi dan skor kecerdasan kognitif (skor IQ); dan untuk menganalisis korelasi antara yodium status dan status gizi dengan kecerdasan kognitif dan prestasi akademik di kalangan siswa sekolah dasar. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 155 siswa sekolah dasar. Data penelitian dikumpulkan dengan cara pengukuran, wawancara menggunakan kuesioner, dan diperoleh dari instansi terkait. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa rerata status iodium siswa termasuk dalam kategori ringan kekurangan (median 60,0 µg/L). Berdasarkan indeks BMI/A, sebagian besar siswa (86,5%) berstatus gizi normal, sedangkan berdasarkan indeks H/A, pelajar dikategorikan status gizi normal lebih rendah yaitu 54,8%. Kebanyakan siswa memiliki kecerdasan kognitif sebagai “rata-rata” (58,1%) dan di bawahnya rata-rata (37,4%). Lebih dari separuh siswa (62,6%) mempunyai prestasi akademis prestasi yang dikategorikan “baik”. Berdasarkan uji korelasi spearman, Terdapat hubungan yang cukup signifikan antara status iodium dengan kognitif cerdas (p=0,064) dan juga prestasi akademik (p=0,051). Disana ada tidak ada korelasi antara kecerdasan kognitif dan status gizi diukur dengan indeks BMI/A (p=0,266) atau indeks H/A (p=0,376). Selain itu, di sana tidak ada korelasi yang signifikan antara prestasi akademik dan gizi status, baik dengan indeks BMI/A (p=0,472) maupun indeks H/A (p=0,174). Namun, Uji korelasi spearman menunjukkan adanya korelasi yang positif dan signifikan status iodium dan status gizi, baik berdasarkan BMI/A (p=0,003) maupun H/A (p=0,033), kecerdasan kognitif dan prestasi akademik (p=0,000).

Judul: Kaitan Perilaku Gizi Ibu dengan Status Iodium, Kecerdasan Kognitif dan Tinggi Badan Siswa Sekolah Dasar di Daerah Pantai Kabupaten Karawang
Abstrak: This study aimed to analyze interelation between nutritional behavior (knowledge, attitude and practices) of mothers with iodine status, cognitive intelligent (measured by IQ scores and academic achievment) and height of elementary school students. The study design was cross sectional with subjects of elementary school students grade 5 and 6 and mothers/caregivers of the students with each number as many as 142. The result showed that there were significant correlations (p<0.05) between mothers’/caregivers’ nutrition knowledge and practices with academic achievement of children; mothers’/caregivers’ nutrition practices with IQ scores of children. There were no significant correlations (p>0.05) between knowledge, attitudes and practices of mothers/caregivers with iodine status and height of children; nutrition knowledge and attitude of mothers/caregivers with IQ scores of children; nutrition attitude of mothers/caregivers with academic achievment of children; and between iodine status with IQ scores, academic achievment and height of children.

Judul: Isolasi Konstruksi dan Rekombinasi Gen Pengkode Reverse Transcriptase asal Simian Retrovirus-2 (SRV-2)
Abstrak: The availability of reverse transcriptase enzym as a valuable component for Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) technique has been providing by foreign companies. Therefore, it needs more cost and time to provide it. This study is an early step to produce in house reverse transcriptase rekombinant enzym from SRV-2. The purpose of this study was isolated, constructed, and rekombined SRV-2 reverse transcriptase gene to entry clone and destination vector. Isolation was done by PCR amplification technique using three pairs of primers, which are RT I (3282-3683), RTII (3261-3900), and RTIII (3169-4133). Construction and recombination in this study used Gateway method from Invitrogen. SRV-2 reverse transcriptase gene was isolated in this study with A-549 cell inoculated SRV-2 as source of virus. This gene amplify by PCR technique and resulted specific band for RTI 401 bp, RTII 639 bp, and RTIII 964 bp. Analysis of pENTR/SD/TOPO and pDEST17 indicated SRV-2 reverse transcriptase gene code has already inserted to this plasmid. This result indicated SRV-2 reverse transcriptase gene have isolated, constructed, and recombined to entry clone and destination vector.
