Judul: Faktor Pencetus Kejadian Alergi Pernapasan pada Pasien Dewasa di RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo
Abstrak: Alergi pada manusia merupakan bentuk reaksi hipersensitivitas yang terjadi karena tubuh seseorang memproduksi antibodi IgE secara berlebih sebagai tanggapan terhadap adanya alergen. Alergi dapat terjadi di saluran pernapasan berupa asma dan rinitis. Faktor genetik dan lingkungan dapat menjadi pencetus terhadap kejadian alergi pernapasan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisafaktor pencetus serangan asma dan atau rinitis pada pasien alergi pernapasan di Poliklinik Alergi-Imunologi, Departemen Ilmu Penyakit Dalam, Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indonesia, Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Nasional Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta.Uji tusuk kulit menggunakan alergen-alergen serbuk sari rumput, kucing, anjing, kecoa, dan tungau debu telah dilakukan terhadap 90 pasien alergi pernapasan. Pasien diwawancara mengenai riwayat alergi pernapasan dari orang tua, dan faktor lingkungan pencetus alergi pernapasan seperti hewan peliharaan, keberadaan asap rokok, dan keadaan emosi. Penderita alergi pernapasan kebanyakan perempuan dan sebagian besar pasien alergi pernapasan dapat dideteksidengan uji tusuk kulit menggunakan alergen tungau debu, akan tetapi, setiap penderita alergi pernapasan belum tentu sama reaksinya terhadap setiap alergen dari 7 alergen uji tusuk kulit. Lebih dari 50% pasien alergi pernapasan memiliki riwayat alergi pernapasan dari orang tua. Keadaan emosi dan keberadaan asap rokok di dalam rumah bagi sebagian besarpasien alergi pernapasan dapat menjadi pencetus timbulnya gejala alergi pernapasan.

Judul: Alergenisitas polen di udara bebas Pasar Minggu Jakarta Selatan pada tikus wistar (Rattus norvegicus).
Abstrak: Allergy cases were frequently reported at kecamatan Pasar Minggu South Jakarta. Pollen is one of the respiratory-system allergen substance which has never been explored in Indonesia. This research was conducted to know the allergenicity of airborne pollen at Pasar Minggu South Jakarta. The protein of airborne pollen at that area was identified and characterized. The detection of allergenicity was made to rat (Wistar strain) by in vivo experiment. There were four kind of airborne pollen found in Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, which were: maize, dwarf coconut, pine, and oil palm pollen. Their protein concentration were, respectively, 65; 88; 14; and 66 mg/g of pollen. SDS-PAGE results showed that maize, dwarf coconut, pine, and oil palm pollen had several proteins with molecular weight ranging from 17 – 70 kDa; 17 – 68 kDa; 16 - 68 kDa; and 15 – 68 kDa, respectively. Skin inflamation was detected after injection of those protein extract to mouse’s subcutaneous. Respiratory challenge caused an increase in relative weight of respiratory tract. This challenge though, cause a decrease in body weight and an increase in size for mucose membrane cells, a secretion of mucose, and an eruption of inflammation cells. All pollen were allergenic to wistar rat, thus can be utilized as an extract allergen for allergy detection and immunotherapy substances for human in Indonesia.

Judul: Construction of Strongly Optimal Binary Linear Code with Minimum Distance 9 and 11
Abstrak: A binary linear code of length n over q F is a subspace of n q F . A code has three parameters that attached to it, namely length, dimension, and minimum distance. A code with length n, dimension k and minimum distance d is often called [n, k, d ]-code. Usually, when two parameters are given, then we want to find a code that has the best value for the last parameter. Based on Gilbert- Varshamov bound, if a [n, k, d ]-code exists and can not be expanded, we call it a strongly optimal code. In this paper, we construct strongly optimal code with minimum distance 9 and 11. In constructing the code, we created a theorem and algorithm based on Gilbert-Varshamov bound before we implement the algorithm to MAPLE programming language. Because of computational limitations, the program can only construct up to k = 10 for d = 9 and k = 12 for d = 11.
