Abstrak: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary approaches to stop hypertension for Indonesian at Jakarta (DASHI-J) and brisk walking exercise on the reduction of body weight and blood pressure of males prehypertension. A randomised clinical trial was conducted in Jakarta for 100 subjects, aged 25 – 55 years. Subjects were randomly assigned to a DASHI-J diet group (A), a brisk walking exercise group (B), a DASHI-J and brisk walking exercise group (C), and a control group (D). A and C groups received diet for lunch, snack and dinner five days a week for two months. The DASHI-J was given for lunch, snack, early dinner and 45 minutes brisk walking exercise for five days a week for two months. At the baseline, the mean of body weight, body mass index (BMI), visceral fat (VF), pulse pressure, blood fat, and blood electrolit were not significantly different among the four groups. After two months of intervension, the body weight, BMI, body fat, visceral fat, waist circumference, systole, diastole, and cholesterol serum of the groups reduce significantly (α<0.05). The highest reduction was in the DASHI-J and brisk walking exercise which reduced body weight 4.18 kg, BMI 1.50 kg/m2, and blood pressure 12.00/8.6 mmHg. This implies that DASHI-J and brisk walking exercise play a significant role in reducing body weight, BMI, systolic, and diastolic blood pressure.

Judul: Faktor Risiko Hipertensi Pada Empat Kabupaten/Kota Dengan Prevalensi Hipertensi Tertinggi Di Jawa Dan Sumatera
Abstrak: Hypertension is a common public health problem that occur both of developed and developing countries. Increasing prevalence of hypertension independently associated with diet and lifestyle. Untreated hypertension leads to many degenerative diseases, including renal disease, congestive heart failure and peripheral vascular disease. Therefore the purpose of this study is to examine factors that can be protective and enhance hypertension prevalence, so that population can save their blood pressure (BP) by preventive and rehabilitative methodes. This study is a cross-sectional analysis in 5 104 subjects aged 18-97 y, consist of 2 491 males and 2 613 females. Data on Body Mass Index (BMI), BP, and other background characteristics of study partisipant were generated using the Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) 2007, at four demographics surveillance sites in Kuantan Singingi and Rokan Hilir (Riau Island), Wonogiri and Salatiga (Central Java). Hypertension was define as SBP≥140 mmHg or DBP≥90 mmHg, with adaptation of the recent JNC-7 definitions. Multiple logistic regression analyses were carried out to determine the odds of hypertension across the whole characteristic, while controlling for possible confounding. A high prevalence of hypertension was noted among four regions population in Kuantan Singingi (48.8%), Rokan Hilir (49.8%), Wonogiri (50.7%) and Salatiga (47.0%). The risk factor which can be reduce hypertension prevalence are ages 40-60 y (OR=0.229) and >60 y (OR=0.501), didn’t do middle physical activity (OR=0.814), didn’t do walking or ride bicycle (OR=0.744), underweight (OR=0.544) and overweight (OR=0.372). While the risk factor which can be enhance hypertension prevalence are education junior and senior high school (OR=1.292) and eating much salty foods (OR=1.258).

Judul: Hubungan Filogenetik Micryletta inornata (Boulenger, 1890) Berdasarkan Gen 16S rRNA
Abstrak: Tiga spesies dari famili Microhylidae yang berasal dari genus Micryletta sejauh ini diakui: M. inornata, M. steinegeri and M. erythropoda. M. inornata merupakan tipe dari genus ini dan memiliki distribusi yang luas dari Cina selatan, Indochina ke Sundaland (Semenanjung Melayu dan Sumatera). Micryletta inornata pertama kali ditemukan di Sumatera oleh Boulenger pada tahun 1890. Semenjak dideskripsikan pertama kali, belum ada informasi tentang spesies ini di Sumatera. Saya menghitung morfologi beberapa spesimen yang berasal dari Sumatera dengan deskripsi asli dari M. inornata. Penelitian ini menggambarkan spesies berdasarkan spesimen voucher dan mengevaluasi status taksonomi menggunakan data molekuler dari gen 16S rRNA. Kami memperkirakan hubungan filogenetik menggunakan metode Bayesian (BI), Maximum Likelihood (ML), Neighbour Joining (NJ) dan Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA). Hasilnya menunjukan bahwa genus Micryletta monofiletik terhadap genus lain (Microhyla, Phrynella, Kalophrynus) dalam famili Microhylidae. Monofiletik grup terbagi menjadi 2 kelompok. Kelompok A terdiri dari 5 subkelompok, diwakili oleh populasi M. inornata dari Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar and Micryletta steinegeri from Taiwan. Kelompok B terdiri atas populasi Micryletta inornata dari Medan and Aceh (Sumatera), menggambarkan topotipe dari spesies ini. Penelitian ini memastikan bahwa secara morfologi spesies ini teridentifikasi sebagai M. inornata dan terdiri dari beberapa taksa yang berbeda yang perlu diperjelas statusnya di masa yang akan datang.
