Judul: Somatotypes of Bekasi Children and Adolescent Aged 3-20 Years
Abstrak: Salah satu metode kuantitatif untuk mendeskripsikan bentuk dan komposisi tubuh adalah somatotipe. Somatotipe dinyatakan dalam tiga urutan angka yang masing-masing mewakili endomorf, mesomorf, dan ektomorf. Indonesia memiliki suku, sosiokultur, dan latar belakang sosio-ekonomi yang beragam sehingga penting untuk mempelajari variasi bentuk dan komposisi tubuh menggunakan metode kuantitatif di setiap kotanya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menjelaskan somatotipe anak dan remaja usia 3-20 tahun di Bekasi. Pengukuran somatotipe menggunakan metode yang diperkenalkan Carter dan Heath. Komponen somatotipe berubah seiring pertambahan usia. Pada usia 3 tahun perempuan memiliki somatotipe mesomorf-endomorf. Somatotipe berubah dari endomorf menjadi mesomorf dan ektomorf yang seimbang setelah usia 12 tahun. Somatotipe laki-laki pada usia 3 tahun adalah mesomorf-ektomorf. Somatotipe lalu berubah menjadi endomorf berimbang pada usia 13 tahun. Pada usia 20 tahun, somatotipenya tetap endomorf berimbang. Secara umum, komponen endomorf perempuan naik sedangkan laki-laki turun. Komponen mesomorf dan ektomorf laki-laki lebih tinggi daripada perempuan di setiap tingkat usia.

Judul: Perawakan Anak Umur 4-19 Tahun di Kota Bandung
Abstrak: Somatotype in Indonesia had not been studied in Bandung City. The study aims to determine the physique of children aged 4-19 years in Bandung City and to see the physique development of children in each age class. It is carried out in girls and boys age 4-19 years old in Bandung City by Heath-Carter method. Girls had more endomorph component, while boys had more ectomorph component. Somatotype component of children aged 4-6 years both girls and boys are endomorphic-mesomorph. The correlation of Body Mass Index (BMI) to endomorph was higher in girls than in boys. Somatotype of girls and boys changed with age. Endomorph component in girls and ectomorph component in boys increased, but mesomorph component in both sexes decreased until the age of 19 years.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
