Published: May 2020

Propagation of jasmine plants by cuttings often experience obstacles, especially to grow roots. Proper planting media and application of growth regulators (PGR) have an important role in the growth and development of plant cuttings roots. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of planting media types and PGR on the growth of jasmine cuttings. This research was conducted in the experimental garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Teuku Umar University, in March - May 2019. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a factorial pattern of 3x3 with three replications. The treatment factors studied were (1) the type of planting media consisted of 3 levels namely alluvial soil, sand and husk charcoal, and (2) the type of growth regulator (ZPT) consisted of 3 levels namely control (without zpt), chemical (growtone) and organic (shallot extract). F test results on the analysis of variance showed that the planting medium had a very significant effect on the number of shoots 35 and 45 HST, number of leaves 15, 35 and 45 HST number of roots, root length, percentage of live cuttings. But the planting media had no significant effect on the number of shoots of 15 DAP. Growth regulator substances have a very significant effect on the number of shoots 35 HST, number of leaves 15, 35 and 45 HST, number of roots and root length. Significantly affect the number of shoots 45 HST and percentage of live cuttings, but no significant effect on the number of shoots 15 HST. This shows that the difference in growth of jasmine plant cuttings due to different planting media does not depend on growth regulators, and vice versa.

Pesticide poisoning occurs when there is a certain amount of pesticide material that reaches and / or enters the body. Pesticide poisoning is influenced by many factors including dose, amount, time, length, direction and frequency of spray. This study was an observational study using a cross sectional design that aims to determine the effect of dosage, amount of pesticides, PPE usage, direction, time, duration and frequency of spraying on the level of cholesteresterase farmers in Gawu-Gawu Bouso Village, Gunungsitoli Utara District, Gunungsitoli City. The population includes farmers and farm laborers who spray pesticides in Gawu-Gawu Bouso Village, Gunungsitoli Utara District with 44 research samples. Data analysis uses univariate, bivariate (chi-square test) and multivariate analysis with logistic regression. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there were 6 independent variables that had a significant relationship with cholinestrase namely dose, amount, direction of spray, time, duration and frequency of spray. This is indicated by the significance value of the 6 independent variables is <0.05. Multivariate test results showed that there were 4 of the 7 independent variables that had a significant effect on cholinesterase ie dose, amount, time, and frequency of spray) (p<0.05) while the other 3 variables namely personal protective equipment, spray direction and duration had no significant effect . The most influential variable on colliniestarase is dose.

The fastest development of technology and the internet in the 4.0 revolution era that influenced the world of education, especially higher education. Currently education focuses on outcome-based education, thus forcing all lecturers to innovate in teaching and learning. One form is by on-line learning for English learning materials developed through the website. This study analyzes the effectiveness of on-line based learning on websites on the ability to read students in the process of learning English at Universitas Brawijaya through "absyak" media websites. The use of the blended learning model has been done in several subjects, but for English subjects (reading) has never been done before. This research is quantitative descriptive. The research sample used a sample of 65 students through a questionnaire on students of the English language study program at Brawijaya University in academic year 2018/2019. The results showed that 81.99% agreed with the application of English reading learning based on blended learning through "absyak" media websites and the remaining 18.01% did not agree on learning English reading based on blended learning through "absyak" media websites. The implementation of online-based learning through "absyak" learning in the media can be effectively contained in high student responses, increased student scores and student attitudes towards variation and learning innovation.

Our study explored the role of extrapituitary prolactin (PRL) and toll-like receptors (TLR)2 and TLR4 in defense reaction of immune system to bacterial infection. Forty-two patients diagnosed with sepsis were recruited and blood samples were withdrawn after patients’ admission to hospital, after the end of acute phase of sepsis and after the sepsis has been resolved, respectively. Seventeen patients died of sepsis; thus, only one sample collected just before death could be processed. PRL and TLR2/4 mRNA levels were measured in CD14+ blood monocytes by QPCR and PRL -1149 G/T SNP genotyped. The TLRs mRNA expression was markedly elevated in all patients groups in comparison to healthy controls mRNA levels; the highest upregulation of monocytic TLR2 in sepsis (16.4 times, P<0.0001) was detected in patients who did not survive septic complications. PRL mRNA expression in monocytes from non-survivors tended to be lower (4.5 fold decrease, P=NS) compared to control levels and it was 6.2 times reduced compared to PRL mRNA expression in second blood sample from survivors (P<0.05). The PRL -1149 G/T SNP had no effect on PRL mRNA response during sepsis. Our data suggest that increased prolactin mRNA expression in monocytes is associated with better outcome and improved survival rate in sepsis with no apparent effect of PRL -1149 G/T SNP on monocytic prolactin response.

Chronology of three consecutive mitotic events in human pre-implantation embryos was examined by time-lapse imaging. In zygotes producing well-formed and pregnancy-yielding expanded blastocysts, uniform time-patterning of cleavage clusters (c) and interphases (i) was revealed: i2=11±1, i3=15±1, i4=23±1 h / c2=15±5, c3=40±10, c4=55±15 min. Oppositely, shortened or prolonged durations of one or more cell cycles were strongly predictive of poor implantation and development. Furthermore, trichotomic mitosis was discovered in 17 % of cases - zygotes cleaved into 3 blastomeres and 2-cell embryos into 5-6 cells (instead of normal 2 and 4). During conventional clinical assessment, such embryos are indistinguishable from normal, often considered just-in-course of the next cell cycle. Only detailed time-lapse monitoring paced at 10-minute intervals had proven all these embryos to be absolutely unviable, even in rare cases when they reduced their hypercellularity to normal cell counts via cell-cell fusion. Overall, we demonstrate that time-lapse embryo cleavage rating (ECR) as a standalone diagnostic procedure allows for effective identification of viable early embryos with 90 % specificity, while elimination of good-looking but unviable embryos can be assumed with a specificity of 100 %. Thus, making this non-invasive and contactless approach worth of addition to routine embryo screening in clinical IVF programs.

Aim of the study was to test the effect of nicotine (NIC) and kainic acid (KA) co-treatment in immature rats. Male Wistar albino rats (two different age groups) were chosen for the study. Experiments started on postnatal day (PD) 8 or 21 and animals were treated twice a day for three days with nicotine, fourth day KA was administered. Animals at PD12 (PD25 respectively) were examined electrophysiologically for cortical epileptic afterdischarges (ADs). First cortical ADs in PD12 animals were longer, when compared to PD25 rats (group treated with both substances). Nor NIC or KA treatment affected the length of discharges in PD12 rats. Older experimental group exhibited the shortening of the first ADs (group treated with NIC and KA, compared with groups exposed to single treatment). Few changes were found in KA treated group – 2nd and 4th ADs were shorter when compared with first ADs. These results demonstrate that NIC treatment played minor role in seizure susceptibility of PD12 rats, sensitivity to NIC differs during ontogenesis and subconvulsive dose of KA influenced the length of discharges only in PD25 animals.

Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is abnormal in the prediabetic state. This study was conducted to determine effects of chronic rosiglitazone (RSG), an insulin sensitizer, on BRS in prediabetic hyperglycemic (PDH) rats induced by nicotinamide and streptozotocin. The fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels were 5.6–6.9 and 7.8–11.0 mmol/l, respectively. Rats were treated with RSG or saline for 12 weeks. BRS response to phenylephrine (PE-BRS) or sodium nitroprusside (NP-BRS) was determined by linear regression method. Cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic influences were determined by autonomic blockades. In the saline-treated PDH rats, PE-BRS was enhanced early at week 4 and became greater at week 12. Abnormalities in NP-BRS and cardiac autonomic influences were found only after week 12. Four weeks of RSG treatment normalized blood glucose levels but not PE-BRS. All altered cardiovascular variables were completely restored by 12 weeks of RSG treatment. The correlation between BRS and blood glucose levels in saline-treated PDH rats was significant at week 12, but no correlation was found in RSG-treated rats. In conclusion, hyperglycemia, even in the prediabetic state, may play a role in BRS abnormalities. RSG treatment early in the prediabetic state may normalize BRS via cardiac autonomic modulation, besides its anti-hyperglycemic action.

Increases in resting energy expenditure (REE) likely contribute to weight loss in various chronic diseases. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), relationships between the ventilatory impairment and increased REE, and between disturbances in adipokines and weight loss were previously described. Therefore, we investigated serum levels and adipose tissue expression of leptin and adiponectin, and their relationships to REE in patients with COPD. In 44 patients with stable COPD (38 male; age 62.3±7.2 years), REE was assessed using indirect calorimetry. Subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were analyzed using real-time PCR. From underweight [n=9; body mass index (BMI) <20.0 kg.m−2], to normal weight-overweight (n=24, BMI=20.0-29.9 kg.m−2) and obese patients (n=11; BMI≥30 kg.m−2), REE adjusted for body weight decreased (32.9±6.1 vs. 26.2±5.8 vs. 23.9±6.6 kcal.kg−1.24 h−1, p=0.006), serum levels and adipose tissue expression of leptin increased (p<0.001 for both), and serum and adipose tissue adiponectin decreased (p<0.001; p=0.004, respectively). REE was inversely related to serum and adipose tissue leptin (R=−0.547, p<0.001; R=−0.458, p=0.002), and directly to serum adiponectin (R=0.316, p=0.039). Underweight patients had increased REE compared to normal weight-overweight patients, in association with reductions in serum and adipose tissue leptin, and increased serum adiponectin, suggesting a role of adipokines in energy imbalance in COPD-related cachexia.

Published: May 2020

Genetic strain-dependent reactivity to mechanical stimuli in rat skeletal muscle has not been examined. This study aimed to examine whether genetic strain-dependency is associated with reactivity in protein metabolism and the resultant muscle hypertrophy after isometric resistance training (RT). The right triceps of Sprague-Dawley (SD) and Wistar rats underwent 12 sessions of RT. After RT, a transition from the IIb to the IIx myosin heavy-chain isoform was observed in both strains. In SD rats, the lateral gastrocnemius muscle (LG) mass of the trained legs (TRN) was significantly higher than that of the control legs (CON) (7.8 %, P<0.05). Meanwhile, in Wistar rats, the LG mass was unchanged. In SD rats, the levels of 70-kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6k) and forkhead box 3a (FOXO3a) phosphorylation in the TRN were significantly greater than those of the CON (2.2- and 1.9-fold, respectively; P<0.05). The expression of muscle ring finger-1 (MuRF1) and muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx/atrogin-1) in the TRN were significantly lower than those of the CON (0.6- and 0.7-fold, respectively; P<0.05). However, in Wistar rats, there was no significant difference. These results suggest a genetic strain difference in protein metabolism. This phenomenon may be useful for studying individual differences in response to RT.

Published: May 2020

Altered Ca2+ handling may be responsible for the development of cardiac contractile dysfunctions with advanced age. In the present study, we investigated the roles of oxidative damage to sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and expression of Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA 2a) and phospholamban in age-associated dysfunction of cardiac SR. SR vesicles were prepared from hearts of 2-, 6-, 15-, and 26-month-old Wistar rats. Although activity of Ca2+-ATPase decreased with advancing age, no differences in relative amounts of SERCA 2a and phospholamban protein were observed. On the other hand, significant accumulation of protein oxidative damage occurred with aging. The results of this study suggest that age-related alteration in Ca2+-ATPase activity in the rat heart is not a consequence of decreased protein levels of SERCA 2a and phospholamban, but could arise from oxidative modifications of SR proteins. Cellular oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species could contribute to age-related alternations in myocardial relaxation.

Fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) has been recently characterized as a new adipokine. The aim of this study was to assess FGF-21 levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) and to study the relationship between FGF-21, disease activity and metabolic status. The levels of FGF-21 in serum and synovial fluid samples from 38 patients with RA and 42 control individuals with OA were determined by ELISA. Patients were assessed for disease activity using the disease activity score (DAS28), a serum glucose and lipid profile. Age, sex and BMI-adjusted FGF-21 levels in the serum (p=0.024) and synovial fluid (p=0.010) samples were significantly higher in patients with RA when compared with OA. The levels of FGF-21 in the serum significantly correlated with the levels in the synovial fluid. Serum and synovial fluid FGF-21 levels adjusted for confounders correlated positively with C-reactive protein. The levels of FGF-21 were positively correlated with BMI in patients with RA; however, the levels were not associated with disease activity or lipid profiles. Furthermore, serum FGF-21 levels were significantly higher in seropositive compared with seronegative RA patients. This work shows that patients with seropositive RA have increased levels of FGF-21. The results suggest that FGF-21 is related to BMI but not disease activity or lipid profiles in patients with RA.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), produced by gram-negative bacteria, mediates vasodilatation, changing the action of contractile smooth muscle by increasing expression of nitric oxide synthase and prostaglandin. For the first time we demonstrate, by immunohistochemical methods, that administration of LPS to pregnant mice causes α-actin-mediated down-regulation of contractile filaments in uterine blood vessels, thereby potentially increasing vessels permeability, blood supply, and immune cells homing to this environment, culminating in the reestablishment of uterine homeostasis.

Published: May 2020

Curcumin, a component of the spice turmeric, was shown to have a protective effect on acute kidney injury markers following ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). However, its effect on glomerular and tubular renal functions following IRI is not known and this data is probably of more clinical relevance. In this study, curcumin was tested for its effect on renal functional parameters following two different periods of warm IRI in the rat. Groups V-30 (n=10) and C-30 (n=10) underwent ischemia for 30 minutes whereas groups V-45 (n=8) and C-45 (n=8) underwent ischemia for 45 minutes. C-30 and C-45 received oral curcumin (200 mg/kg/day) whereas V-30 and V-45 received a vehicle. The left renal artery blood flow was measured by a flowmeter before and 15 minutes after reperfusion. Serum TNF-α was measured before and 2 days after ischemia. The function of both kidneys was measured 2 days following ischemia using clearance technique. IRI caused significant increase in TNF-α in all groups. Curcumin significantly ameliorated the ischemia-induced alterations in serum TNF-α and associated histological changes but did not affect the alterations in renal artery blood flow, glomerular (glomerular filtration rate, renal blood flow) or tubular (urinary volume, urinary sodium and fractional excretion of sodium) functions following 30 or 45 min of IRI.

Published: May 2020

We have found that short-term statin treatment plus stem cell transplantation in acutely infarcted hearts improves cardiac function because statins promote the efficacy of cellular cardiomyoplasty. Autologous Sca-1+Lin-CD45-(CXCR+) very small embryonic-like stem cell (VSEL) mobilization in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) correlates with the preservation of cardiac function. Whether short-term atorvastatin (Ator) can enhance the mobilization or recruitment of VSELs in AMI is still unclear. We divided mice into 4 groups: 1) sham; 2) AMI; 3) AMI+resveratrol (RSV) as a positive control; and 4) AMI+Ator. There was an increase in the circulating VSEL/full population of leukocytes (FPL) ratio 48 hours after AMI, and AMI+RSV increased it further. Ator administration did not increase the VSEL/FPL ratio. The cardiac stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and SDF-1α levels were in agreement with the results of VSEL mobilization. One week after AMI, more Sca-1+CXCR+ cells were recruited to the myocardium of AMI+RSV mice but not AMI+Ator mice. Short-term Ator administration failed to upregulate cardiac SDF-1 and could not enhance the recruitment of VSELs early after AMI.

This paper presented an analysis of malware propagation scenario in which attacker exploit news spreading dynamics on Twitter. The malware propagation starts with an attacker crafting tweets about breaking news, event or tragedy that will lure user to click the short-URL provided in the tweet which then redirect user to malicious website, which in turn installed the malware in the user mobile device or computer. As the information spread in the Twitter then more users will be infected with malware. The underlying principle to analyze this type of malware propagation is that the spreading of information in Twitter can be modeled by using formal epidemic model of disease. The simulation result of the model shows parameters that highly impacting the spread of malware using Twitter as the medium.

FENOMENA HARD GROUND PADA BATU LEMPUNG KAYA GAMPINGAN FORMASI NANGGULAN, DI SUNGAI WATUPURU, PEGUNUNGAN KULON PROGO, YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Nuraini Siti
Published: May 2020

Fenomena hardground yang ditemukan di Sungai Watupuru terbagi ke dalam 3 katagori yaitu lapisan hardground Briozoa, lapisan hardground pecahan cangkang dan lapisan hardground kerakal karbonat konglomeratan. Lapisan hardground Briozoa adalah lapisan mengandung hewan lumut yang hidup berkoloni pada dasar-dasar laut. Lapisan ini merupakan bagian teratas dari batuan wackestone atau peckstone (Dunham, 1962). Lapisan pecahan cangkang juga sering dijumpai sebagai sisipan pada Formasi Nanggulan yang kaya gampingan. Lapisan hardground Briozoa ini dinamakan hardground laut yang pada umumnya berasosiasi dengan zona sub-tidal (Moore, 1989; Walker, 1984). Lapisan hardground berikutnya adalah lapisan kerakal karbonat konglomeratan dicirikan oleh butirannya sangat membundar (well-rounded), kemas terbuka, tertanam dalam matriks ukuran pasir kasar (2-1 mm). Diameter ukuran butiran-butiran berkisar antara 2 sampai 3 cm dengan keadaan tidak saling bersentuhan. Semen oksidasi besi yang berwarna coklat kemerahan mengikat butiran-butiran tersebut. Fragment/ butiran karbonat konglomerat dahulunya berupa cangkang-cangkang Molluska Bivalve yang mengalami pelarutan, sehingga yang tertinggal hanya berupa cetakan saja. Suasana korosiv sangat terlihat diakibatkan oleh intensivnya pengaruh oksidasi besi selama penyemenan antar fragment-fragment tersebut. Kehadiran galian fauna yang melintang di permukaan lapisan hardground ini merupakan inchnofasies Trypanites. Lapisannya sendiri menunjukan pola pengkasaran ke atas (coarsening upward atau gradasi terbalik (reverse gradded bedding).              Peristiwa susut laut/ regresion telah dibuktikan oleh penemuan hardground-hardground pada Formasi Nanggulan di Sungai Watupuru. Muka laut telah mundur dari kondisi asalnya yaitu zona subtidal ke laut lepas. Masih perlu penelaahan lebih lanjut mengenai peristiwa regresi pada Formasi Nanggulan ini, apakah berhubungan dengan peristiwa tektonisme daerah setempat atau fluktuasi muka laut global (eustasi). Kata kunci: lapisan hardground, lapisan, Molluska, cangkang, Formasi Nanggulan, Sungai Watupuru.
