Judul: Studi Kasus: Kajian Histopatologi pada Seekor Singa Afrika (Panthera leo) yang Menderita Pyometra
Abstrak: An African lioness (Panthera leo) was diagnosed with pyometra after it was found dead with purulent discharge from the vulva. The purpose of this study is to examine gross and histopathological changes of various organs of the lion to know the causes of the death. The organ sample of heart, lungs, liver, intestine, kidney, and uterus were made into histopathology slide with Haematoxilin-Eosin staining. Histopathological examination showed cardiomyopathy, emphysema and edema pulmonum, purulent enteritis, hepatopathy and passive liver congestion, and also chronic active nephritis. Uterus inflammation with purulent exudation indicated pyometra with cystic endometrial hyperplasia. Pyometra in the lion leads to sepsis that is characterized by hemorrhage and degeneration of parenchymal organs. Cardiomyopathy causes heart failure which leads to congestion of the entire organ. Lion’s death was caused by sepsis and heart failure.

Judul: Studi Kasus: Leiomioma pada Seekor Singa (Panthera leo)
Abstrak: This report described an abdominal leiomyoma in a female old lion (Panthera leo) from the Ragunan Zoo, Jakarta. The aim of this study was to identify the type of tumor from an old aged female lion with anamnese suffered from chronic gangrene on the right-rear leg. The lion was euthanized and then accompanied with necropsy. Gross findings were recorded and then histopathological examination of some organ samples done. Macroscopic observations showed several lesions. A tumor was found in abdominal cavity, has 14.5 x 9.8 x 6.5 cm in sized. The tissue sample from the tumor mass was further examined using histopathological examination. Based on the morphology, the tumor consisted of spindle-shaped cells with a cigar-shaped nuclei with blunt ends. Mitotic figure was <3, indicated that the tumor was benign. Masson's Trichrome staining showed that among the tumor cells are found collagen bundles (blue). Desmin immunohistochemical staining showed a positive result, that mean the tumor cells derived from smooth muscle cells. Other immunohistochemical stainings e.g. Vimentin, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), and Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) were negative. According to morphological and immunohistochemical characters, the tumor was diagnosed as leiomyoma.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
