<p>Peat soil is a type of soil that dominates the island of Borneo. Typical compounds in peat soil is shumic acid. Various in vitro studies performed have shown peat subtropical humic compounds can stimulate the immune system. However, in vivo study on animal has not been done. This study aimed to determine the effect of humic acid extracted from peat soil of Kalimantan against the immune system, both of non-specific and specific immunity Wistar rats (<em>Rattus novergicus</em>). Research using a completely randomized design with five treatments and five replicates, the normal controls, a positive control (isoprinosine), humic acid 125; 250; 500 mg/kg. Humic acid was administered orally for 10 days. The results showed humic acid adduction did not significantly affect levels of hemoglobin, erythrocytes and hematocrit. Humic acid adduction of 125 mg/kg significantly affects the total leukocyte count and differential leukocyte. Humic acid 125 mg/kg also showed increased phagocytic index better than normal controls. All humic acid treatments do not provide a significant effect on the total amount of antibody. The results of this study can be used for the development of Borneo tropical peat resources as natural imunostimulant.</p><p><strong>How to Cite</strong></p><p>Rousdy, D.

Correlated Mutations and Homologous Recombination Within Bacterial Populations
Authors: Lin Mingzhi , Kussell Edo 
Published: December 2016

AbstractInferring the rate of homologous recombination within a bacterial population remains a key challenge in quantifying the basic parameters of bacterial evolution. Due to the high sequence similarity within a clonal population, and unique aspects of bacterial DNA transfer processes, detecting recombination events based on phylogenetic reconstruction is often difficult, and estimating recombination rates using coalescent model-based methods is computationally expensive, and often infeasible for large sequencing data sets. Here, we present an efficient solution by introducing a set of mutational correlation functions computed using pairwise sequence comparison, which characterize various facets of bacterial recombination. We provide analytical expressions for these functions, which precisely recapitulate simulation results of neutral and adapting populations under different coalescent models. We used these to fit correlation functions measured at synonymous substitutions using whole-genome data on Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pneumoniae populations. We calculated and corrected for the effect of sample selection bias, i.e., the uneven sampling of individuals from natural microbial populations that exists in most datasets. Our method is fast and efficient, and does not employ phylogenetic inference or other computationally intensive numerics. By simply fitting analytical forms to measurements from sequence data, we show that recombination rates can be inferred, and the relative ages of different samples can be estimated. Our approach, which is based on population genetic modeling, is broadly applicable to a wide variety of data, and its computational efficiency makes it particularly attractive for use in the analysis of large sequencing datasets.
Stable Binding of the Conserved Transcription Factor Grainy Head to its Target Genes ThroughoutDrosophila melanogasterDevelopment

Published: December 2016

AbstractIt has been suggested that transcription factor binding is temporally dynamic, and that changes in binding determine transcriptional output. Nonetheless, this model is based on relatively few examples in which transcription factor binding has been assayed at multiple developmental stages. The essential transcription factor Grainy head (Grh) is conserved from fungi to humans, and controls epithelial development and barrier formation in numerous tissues. Drosophila melanogaster, which possess a single grainy head (grh) gene, provide an excellent system to study this conserved factor. To determine whether temporally distinct binding events allow Grh to control cell fate specification in different tissue types, we used a combination of ChIP-seq and RNA-seq to elucidate the gene regulatory network controlled by Grh during four stages of embryonic development (spanning stages 5–17) and in larval tissue. Contrary to expectations, we discovered that Grh remains bound to at least 1146 genomic loci over days of development. In contrast to this stable DNA occupancy, the subset of genes whose expression is regulated by Grh varies. Grh transitions from functioning primarily as a transcriptional repressor early in development to functioning predominantly as an activator later. Our data reveal that Grh binds to target genes well before the Grh-dependent transcriptional program commences, suggesting it sets the stage for subsequent recruitment of additional factors that execute stage-specific Grh functions.

Published: December 2016

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics in Ileal perforations because of confusion and controversy over the diagnosis and optimal surgical treatment of terminal Ileal perforation -a cause of obscure peritonitis. Perforation of terminal ileum is a cause for obscure peritonitis with severe toxic state, there may be obscured clinical features with resultant delays in diagnosis and adequate surgical intervention.Methods: A prospective study was conducted in Victoria Hospital and Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital attached to Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute over a period of 5 years from June 2011 to May 2015. A total of 136 patients presented in this period with hollow viscus perforation and out of these 64 patients had Ileal perforation alone on exploratory laparotomy. Ileal perforations account for about 20 percent of all cases of hollow viscus perforation. Emergency exploratory laparotomy was done and perforation was identified, edge biopsy was taken in all cases and the perforation was closed in two layers and resection anastomosis was done in stricture with perforation. Histopathological report was reviewed following surgery.Results: A total of 64 patients with Ileal perforation were included in the study of which 52 were males and 12 were females accounting for 81.25 percent and 18.75 percent respectively. The causes for perforation were enteric fever (82.81%), nonspecific inflammation (9.38%), and tuberculosis (7.81%). Simple closure of the perforation (74.58%) and the remaining primary resection and anastomosis were the mainstay of the surgical management.Conclusions: The common pathology of Ileal perforation is Typhoid or Enteric fever, Non-specific ulcer, Tuberculosis and others. Intestinal complications of typhoid fever are quite common in developing countries. Nonspecific inflammation of the terminal ileum was other predominant cause operative findings were similar to that of typhoid fever but no laboratory evidence of the disease was found. Intestinal tuberculosis can mimic many conditions.

Authors: Rosita Cita Dwi 
Published: December 2016

Courseware have an important role in the achievement of the objectives of education. Nevertheless, it does not mean any learning resources can be used for a type of learning. The teacher should provide and develop materials appropriate to the characteristics and the social environment of its student. Number Theory courses is one of the basic subjects that would be a prerequisite for courses at the next level, such as Linear Algebra, Complex Analysis, Real Analysis, Transformation Geometry, and Algebra Structure. Thus, the student’s understanding about the essential concepts that exist in this course will determine their success in studying subjects that mentioned above. In trying to understand most of the topics in Number Theory required the abilities of mathematical argumentation and representation. The ability of argumentation is required in studying the topic of complex number system, special operations, mathematical induction, congruence and divisibility. Ability representation especially verbal representations and symbols required by almost all the topics in this course. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of teaching and learning Number Theory materials which facilitate students to develop the ability of mathematical argumentation and representation. The model used is a Thiagarajan development model consisting phases of defining, planning, development, and deployment. This paper is restricted to the analysis of the results of the materials validation from number theory experts.
