CHARGE Syndrome: an Indonesian Case Report

Background: CHARGE syndrome is an autosomal dominant congenital and rare genetic disease.The prevalence of CHARGE syndrome approximately 1:12,000 births.In the previous study, the CHD7 gene mutation is responsible in about 2/3 cases of CHARGE syndrome. The syn­drome associations consist of C-coloboma of the eyes, H-heart disease, A-atresia of the choanae, R-retarded growth and development, G-genital hypoplasia/genitourinary anomalies and E-ear anomalies and/or hearing loss. All defects are not seen in every case and a different spectrum of associations is seen in most of the cases.Method: Case was undergone physical examination by experience pediatricians, pedigree construction, and other diagnostic procedure (X-ray, echo­cardiography, and multi slice computer tomography (MSCT) scan).Results: A boy aged 2 years 9 months with clinical features with match major and minor criterias of CHARGE syndrome.Conclusion: Based on clinical diagnostic criteria this case is fulfilling with definite CHARGE syndrome

Microencapsulation of clove essential oil with gelatin and alginate

Content: Essential oils are of commercial interest primarily because of their potential antimicrobial, antifungal and antioxidant properties and for being of natural origin, which generally represents lower risk to the environment and human health. Clove essential oil not only contains many kinds of biological active compositions but also has highly effective and comprehensive antibacterial functions. Remarkably, clove has strong antimicrobial activities against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. To prevent chemical changes the oil is microencapsulated. The aim of this study is to develop essential oil microcapsules with gelatin and alginate. Various solutions were prepared for the capsule wall material at different concentrations. The encapsulation efficiency (%) was accessed and the microcapsules were characterized by oil content (%), oil charge (%), morphology, functional groups present, thermogravimetric analysis and by Fourier transform - infrared spectral analysis. FT-IR spectra of the clove oil shows some special peaks at 1148,01 and 1033,33 cm-1. The spectra of the capsule showed peaks 1148.34 and 1033.29 cm -1, the same peaks present in clove oil, showing that the encapsulation did not alter the structure of the oil's main assets. In case of the gelatin and alginate microcapsules containing clove oil, most of the characteristic peaks of clove oil remained unchanged, indicating the successful incorporation of clove oil into the microcapsules and the chemical stability of the clove oil after encapsulation. In otherwords, there was no significant chemical interaction between the oil and the wall of the microcapsule. Take-Away: The clove oil was microencapsulated according the FTIR spectra

Adsorption of Mg(ii) Ion From Aqueous Solution on Chitosan Beads and Chitosan Powder

A basic investigation on the removal of Mg(II) ion from aqueous solution by chitosan beads was conducted in a batch adsorption system. The influence of different experimental parameters; pH, agitation period and different concentration of Mg(II) ion was evaluated. A pH 7.0 was found to be an optimum pH for Mg(II) adsorption onto chitosan powder and chitosan beads. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were applied to describe the isotherms and isotherm constants for the adsorption of Mg(II) onto chitosan powder and chitosan beads. Results indicated that Mg(II) uptake could be described by the Langmuir adsorption model. The maximum adsorption capacities of Mg(II) ion onto chitosan powder and chitosan beads were 7.20 and 17.39 mol gâ^\u271, respectively. The rate of adsorption Mg(II) on chitosan powder and chitosan beads were 16.0.10-4 min-1 and 48.00 . 10-4 min-1, respectively

Autochthonous yeast populations from different brazilian geographic indications.

Yeasts are versatile microorganisms which show heterogeneity in their abilities of aromatic molecules formation. The metabolic conversions may improve the production of a particular compound already formed by the microorganism or promote the production of a completely new biochemicals. These conversions depend on the environment. The microbiome of terroir is unique. If the term terroir is a set of physical properties of a vineyard that contribute to the specific characteristics of its wine, the microorganisms will undoubtedly form an integral part of this concept. There are yeasts, filamentous fungi and bacteria that can affect the quality of the wine. The aim of the present study was to identify the autochthonous yeast populations of grape berries collected from regions with Geographic Indications or under construction. The identification was carried out by an approach, combining Maldi-Tof-MS, PCR-RFLP of the internal transcribed spacer with 5.8S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) and sequences of the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rRNA gene. Some species are common to different GIs and in some of them other species are completely absent, besides some places are contiguous areas. In some areas, Hanseniaspora opuntiae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia myanmarensis and Hanseniaspora uvarum were the predominant species.Também publicado em: CONGRESSO MUNDIAL DA VINHA E DO VINHO, 39., 2016, Bento Gonçalves.

Inventarisasi komunitas adat Tengger Desa Ngadisari Kecamatan Sukapura Kabupaten Probolinggo Jawa Timur

Kajian tentang masyarakat adat pada umumnya berpusar pada upaya inventarisasi nilai-nilai, pola perilaku, bentuk-bentuk kebudayaan, serta budaya material yang menyertainya (Koentjaraningrat, Pengantar Ilmu Antropologi). Masyarakat adat digambarkan memiliki keunikan budaya yang berbeda akibat adaptasi terhadap alam, proses sejarah sosial dan politik, serta kosmologi yang khas, hingga mencapai bentuknya yang sekarang, Hal serupa juga berlaku untuk kajian atas Komunitas Tengger di Jawa Timur yang mendiami em pat wilayah administratif. Tulisan-tulisan mengenai Ko­munitas Tengger memberikan penegasan mengenai bentuk-bentuk kebudayaan yang relatif tidak berubah di tengah perubahan jaman. Perubahan memperoleh pengakuan sebatas menjadi bagian dari proses masa lampau demi memberikan alasan bagi keberadaan kelompok ini pada rnasa sekarang. Manusia Tengger digambarkan memiliki kearifan lokal untuk tetap mempertahankan tradisi yang dianggap menjadi warisan dari pendahulu mereka. Kajian-kajian dalam aras ini, dengan demikian, cenderung bersifat deskriptif dan menempatkan komunitas dalam isolasi kultura
