Authors: Sallau Alhassan Adeku , Abubakar Abdulrazak Banaru
Published: June 2021

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in HCl solution in the presence of Ipomoea batatas peel extract (IBPE) at a temperature range of 30°C to 60°C was studied using the chemical weight loss method. The IBPE acts as an inhibitor in the acid environment. The inhibition efficiency (IE) increases with increase in inhibitor concentration but decreases with an increase in temperature and concentration of acid. 93.96%, 89.99% and 85.61% IE were obtained at 6.67 g/L extract in 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5M acid media respectively at temperature of 30°C. 84.86%, 83.99% and 81.13% IE were obtained at 6.67 g/L extract in 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5M acid media respectively at temperature of 40°C. Also 78.92%, 76.21% and 75.73% IE were obtained at 6.67 g/L extract in 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5M acid media respectively at temperature of 50°C, while 71.45%, 69.87% and 66.00% IE were obtained at 6.67g/L extract in 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5M acid media respectively at temperature of 60°C. The inhibitive effect of the IBPE could be attributed to the presence of some compound in the peel which is adsorbed on the surface of the mild steel. The peel extract was found to conform to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and Freundlich adsorption isotherm at all the concentration levels and temperature studied.

Published: June 2021

Agricultural wastes have been identified as a potential lignocellulosic biomass for bioethanol production. An accurate biomass characterization is needed to evaluate the new potential lignocelluloses biosource for biofuel production. This study evaluates the compositional analysis and characterization of three agricultural wastes (melon husk, moringa pod and mango endocarp). The samples were collected locally in Sheda Village, FCT, Abuja, Nigeria. The lignocellulose biomass composition of the samples was determined by using a proven economically viable gravimetric method and the samples were further characterized using the FTIR. The results showed that a significant amount of hemicelluloses content was found, from 19.38% to 27.74% and the highest amount was present in melon musk. The amount of cellulose ranging from 22.49% to 45.84% was found where the highest amount was found in mango endocarp. Lignin content was in the range of 22.62% to 29.87% and melon husk was shown to have the highest amount. The FTIR spectroscopic analysis showed a broad band at 3422.99 cm-1, 3422.66 cm-1, 3422.85 cm-1 (for mango endocarp, melon husk and moringa pod respectively) representing bonded –OH groups. The peak around 1637 cm-1 corresponds to C=C stretching of conjugated carboxylic acids. The aliphatic chains, -CH2- and –CH3, which form the basic structure of cellulose material, were seen at 1205.72, 1204.50 and 1206.24 cm-1. The signals at 1056.15, 1035.80 and 1055.86 cm-1 correspond to C-O-R (alcohols or esters) vibration. The results show that the samples contain significant quantity of lignocellulosic biomass. Thus, the agricultural wastes could be of valuable use in biofuel production.

Relationship between Premature Rupture of Membranes to Neonatal Sepsis: A Literature Review
Authors: Fariz Augusta
Published: June 2021

Background: Infection is still one of the highest cause of neonatal death in Indonesia. 30% of neonatal deaths are caused by infection (Kosen, 2005), with numbers ranging from 8,76% to 30,29% with fatality rates of up to 49,9% (Victor,1997). Several journals has discussed the relationship between premature rupture of membranes and neonatal sepsis. The author will review said literatures and conclude them.Aims of the Study: This review aims to analyze how premature rupture of membranes may cause neonatal sepsis and does the former increases risk of the latter.Methods of Study: Data will be appraised from associated literatures and synthesizing the results. Reviewed literatures are taken from Pubmed, NCBI PMC, and Google Scholar. Literature criteria are observational study with control, comparative study, and analytical descriptive study.Results: 13 literatures that discussed the relationship between premature rupture of membranes with neonatal sepsis were reviewed. While neonatal sepsis still occurs in women without premature rupture of membranes, women with premature rupture of membranes has marked a higher incidence of neonatal sepsis. The risks of neonatal sepsis are multifactorial, such as (1) low birth weight, (2) preterm premature rupture of membranes, (3) premature rupture of membranes with longer durations, and (4) healthcare quality.Conclusion: Premature rupture of membranes is shown to increase risk of neonatal sepsis occuring.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is defined as the presence of bacteria in urine along with symptoms of infection.UTIs occurs in 1.1% of girls and 1.4% of boys in the first year of life. The aim of the study was to assessthe usefulness of measurement of pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-6 and IL -8 concentrations in the urineand serum of children with UTI. A total of Eighty serum sample and seventy tow urine sample have beencollected from children with urinary tract infection, Their age ranged between 33days- 12 years old, fifty sixchildren of the same age collected as controls .Urine and serum IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations of both groupswere measured and compared. Urine and serum concentrations of IL -8 were significantly higher in childrenwith UTI compared with controls group (P = 0.0001, P = 0.0002) respectively, while there was no significantdifferent in urine and serum concentration of IL-6 of children with UTI and controls group(P = 0.1199 , P=0.572) respectively. The results demonstrate that IL-8 is a good biomarker for urinary tract infection, whileIL-6 is not.

Introduction: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common disorder of pilosebaceous seen mainly in adolescents. Most cases of AV present with a pleomorphic lesion array, consisting of blackheads, papules, pustules, and nodules of varying severity. Acne is one of the three most common skin disease, especially in adolescents and young adults, with an estimated prevalence of 85% (aged 12-25 years). Acne vulgaris (AV) is still a health problem in the world and Indonesia. The causes of AV are multifactorial and can lead to various complications. Aim: This study looked for the difference in interleukin-12 (IL-12) on degrees of AV severity. Materials and Method: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted at the Diniyah Putri Islamic Boarding School, Lampung Province, Indonesia, in August 2020. The independent variable in this study was the AV degree, while the dependent variable was the IL-8 level. The sampling method in this study was consecutive sampling, as many as 63 AV patients. The research material is serum from venous blood. Examination of interleukin-8 levels using the ELISA method. Data analysis was univariate to find the mean and standard deviation of IL-8 levels, as well as the frequency distribution to determine the degree of AV. While the bivariate analysis was to determine the difference in the mean of IL-8 levels in AV patients. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 15.49 ± 1.07 years, the mean IL-12 level was 48.22 ± 15.62 and most of the AV degrees were in a severe category as much as 61.9%. Conclusion: Statistically there is no difference in the mean IL-12 levels in moderate and severe AV patients, but IL-12 levels are higher at severe AV degrees than moderate AV degrees.
