Intestinal Parasite Incidence on Elementary School Students in Town and Village at Tanah Bumbu District

Intestinal parasitic diseases is common occurre in children with the high risk and it become problem that need effective and efficient control. The purpose of this research is to obtain prevalent data and the distribution pattern of intestinal parasites in children of urban and rural area in Tanah Bumbu district by conducting survey on worm infected primary students. Collecting and examining samples of students feses from five schools, three schools in Simpang Empat sub district as urban area, and two schools in Sungai Loban sub district as rural area were conducted on this research. The examination uses direct examination methode using microscope to find out the positive samples containing worm eggs. The result indicated that 388 samples from urban area there were 25 (6,4%) positive and 113 samples from rural area there were 13 (11,5%) positive. Next, the worm species prevalence in urban area are Ascaris lumbricoides (2,6%), Trichuris trichiura (2,3%), Hymenolepis nana (1,5%) and Hookworm (0,3%). Worm species prevalence in rural area are A.lumbricoides (8,0%) , H. nana (0,9%) and Enterobius vermicularis (2,7%). Prevalence of parasites was higher on boys than girls bath urban and rural area. Prevalens of parasites was higher on 6-9 years age than 10-15 years age bath urban and rural area.Penyakit parasit pencernaan umumnya lebih banyak terjadi pada anak-anak usia sekolah dasar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan data kejadian infeksi parasit pencernaan pada anak-anak daerah perkotaan dan pedesaan di Kabupaten Tanah Bumbu dengan melakukan survei cacingan pada anak sekolah dasar. Pengumpulan sampel feses dilakukan di lima Sekolah Dasar (SD), tiga SD di Kecamatan Simpang Empat yang mewakili daerah perkotaan dan dua SD di Kecamatan Sungai Laban yang mewakili daerah pedesaan. Pemeriksaan sampel menggunakan metode pemeriksaan langsung dengan mikroskop untuk mengetahui sampel yang positif mengandung telur cacing. Hasil menunjukkan 388 sampel feses dari SD di perkotaan, terdapat 25 sampel (6,4%) yang positif, sedangkan 113 sampel feses dari SD di pedesaan terdapat 13 sampel (11,5%) yang positif. Prevalensi spesies cacing yang ditemukan di daerah perkotaan yaitu Ascaris lumbricoides (2,6%), Trichuris trichiura (2,3%), Hymenolepis nana (1,5%) dan Hookworm (0,3%). Prevalensi spesies cacing yang ditemukan di daerah pedesaan yaitu A. lumbricoides (8,0%) , H. nana (0,9%) dan Enterobius vermicularis (2,7%). Prevalensi kecacingan anak laki-laki lebih tinggi dibandingkan anak perempuan, baik di daerah perkotaan maupun pedesaan. Prevalensi kecacingan pada kelompok umur 6-9 tahun lebih tinggi dibandingkan anak kelompok umur 10-15 tahun, baik di daerah perkotaan maupun pedesaan

Identifikasi Serkaria Fasciolopsis Buski Dengan PCR Untuk Konfirmasi Hospes Perantara Di Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Utara, Kalimantan Selatan, Indonesia

Fasciolopsiasis in Indonesia is endemic in Hulu Sungai Utara District, South Kalimantan. Problems in controlling this disease is to identify the snail that acts as an first intermediate host. Fasciolopsis buski intermediate host is determined by the presence of F. buski cercariae on the conch. Identification of cercariae using microscopic method can not ensure that was F. buski cercariae, so it is necessary to use a more accurate method. Therefore, the research aimed to identify F. buski cercariae using Polymerase Chain Reaction ( PCR ) to confirm the cercariae species and the first intermediate host snails of F. buski. Observational studies in the field and laboratory are conducted in March-December 2014. Snail samplings were taken place at Sungai Papuyu and Kalumpang Dalam villages. Cercariae PCR analysis was done at Molecular Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Science-Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarbaru. Our field collections found 6 snail genus: Pomacea, Bellamya, Indoplanorbis, Lymnaea, Gyraulus, and Melanoides. Three species of cercariae obtained by microscopic examination consisted of Echinostome cercariae in Lymnaea and Indoplanorbis snail, Brevifurcate-pharyngeate cercariae in Lymnaea snail, and Sulcatomicrocercous cercariae in Bellamya snail. PCR analysis showed positive result of F. buski on Echinostome cercariae samples found from Lymnaea and Indoplanorbis snail. This finding have confirmed that both snails were the first intermediate host of F. buski at our sampling sites

Sintasan Pasca Penangkapan Hasil Tangkapan Perikanan Glass Eels di Estuari Sungai Cikaso, Sukabumi

Estuari Sungai Cikaso merupakan satu di antara beberapa daerah penangkapan glass eels dengan hasil tangkapan tertinggi di Kabupaten Sukabumi, Jawa Barat. Usaha perikanan tangkap glass eels pada dasarnya dilakukan untuk memenuhi pasokan benih untuk kegiatan pembesaran ikan sidat. Nelayan menggunakan dua alat dalam melakukan penangkapan glass eels yaitu bubu dan sirib. Terdapat perbedaan konstruksi dan teknis pengoperasian kedua alat tangkap ini, yang mengindikasikan adanya perbedaan tingkat stres yang dialami oleh ikan hasil tangkapan. Tingkat stres pasca penangkapan akan berujung pada rendahnya sintasan dan kualitas benih untuk kegiatan pembesaran ikan sidat. Kajian mengenai kelangsungan hidup pasca penangkapan ini sangat penting untuk diketahui karena berkaitan dengan penilaian alat tangkap. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kelangsungan hidup pasca penangkapan terhadap hasil tangkapan alat tangkap bubu dan sirib dilakukan setiap bulan dari Februari hingga April 2021. Ikan yang tertangkap dipelihara dalam akuarium selama empat hari pengamatan pasca penangkapannya. Terdapat perbedaan sintasan glass eels yang tertangkap dengan dua alat tangkap yang berbeda. Tingkat kelangsungan hidup glass eels pada alat tangkap bubu (~63%) lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan alat tangkap sirib (~68%). Hal serupa juga ditemukan pada ikan hasil tangkapan sampingan untuk kedua alat tangkap tersebut. Ikan hasil tangkapan sampingan yang tertangkap dengan bubu umumnya memiliki luka pada beberapa bagian tubuhnya, sedangkan ikan tangkapan sampingan yang tertangkap dengan sirib umumnya tanpa luka pasca penangkapan. Tingkat kematian ikan pasca penangkapan berkaitan erat dengan persentase luka yang dialami oleh ikan

Fenugreek supplementation during high-fat feeding improves specific markers of metabolic health

Abstract To assess the metabolically beneficial effects of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), C57BL/6J mice were fed a low- or high-fat diet for 16 weeks with or without 2% (w/w) fenugreek supplementation. Body weight, body composition, energy expenditure, food intake, and insulin/glucose tolerance were measured regularly, and tissues were collected for histological and biochemical analysis after 16 weeks of diet exposure. Fenugreek did not alter body weight, fat mass, or food intake in either group, but did transiently improve glucose tolerance in high fat-fed mice. Fenugreek also significantly improved high-density lipoprotein to low-density lipoprotein ratios in high fat-fed mice without affecting circulating total cholesterol, triglycerides, or glycerol levels. Fenugreek decreased hepatic expression of fatty acid-binding protein 4 and increased subcutaneous inguinal adipose tissue expression of adiponectin, but did not prevent hepatic steatosis. Notably, fenugreek was not as effective at improving glucose tolerance as was four days of voluntary wheel running. Overall, our results demonstrate that fenugreek promotes metabolic resiliency via significant and selected effects on glucose regulation, hyperlipidemia, and adipose pathology; but may not be as effective as behavioral modifications at preventing the adverse metabolic consequences of a high fat diet
