Association of Calpastatin (CAST) Gene with Growth Traits and Carcass Characteristics in Bali Cattle

Calpastatin (CAST) gene is well known as an inhibitor of muscle protein degradation and relates to muscle growth and meat tenderness. The objective of this study was to determine the association of CAST gene with growth traits and carcass characteristics in Bali cattle. A number of data from 35 Bali bulls were collected from BPTU Bali Cattle to obtain growth traits, carcass characteristics, and blood samples. Polymorphism of CAST gene in Bali bulls was analyzed by using PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing. The association of CAST gene with growth traits and carcass characteristics were analyzed by using General Linear Model (GLM). The result showed that there were two genotypes (GG and AG) of CAST gene with allele frequencies of 0.857 and 0.143, respectively, for G and A. Notably, mutation A to G occurred in 253 bp CAST fragment gene in Bali Cattle. Genotypes GG and AG of CAST gene significantly affected (P<0.05) the back-fat thickness and longissimus dorsi without a significant effect on the growth traits. It could be concluded that CAST gene had a potency as a marker gene for carcass quality in Bali cattle

Analysis of Radiation Exposure Level on Linen and Other Objects in Patient Rooms at Nuclear Medicine Installation

Analysis of radiation contamination levels has been carried out using an Atomtex surveymeter in the patient rooms after thyroid cancer ablation therapy, in the Nuclear Medicine Installation, Abdoel Wahab Sjahranie Hospital. This study aims to measure the level of radiation exposure based on the rate of radiation exposure and radiation contamination of objects in the patient rooms after ablation therapy, and to find out how long linen can be washed since the first measurement. Data collection was carried out once a week, on the same weekday, for five weeks for objects in the patient rooms by using the surveymeter at a fixed distances from the objects’ surfaces. Radiation contamination measurements for linen items were carried out for 3 d by aiming the surveymeter to container containing linen items from certain distances. Based on this study, the level of radiation exposure obtained is categorized as low because the value range is below 10 μSv/h. The radiation contamination for some objects are categorized as low-level exposure because the value is less than 3.7 Bq/cm2. Other objects tend to be in the moderate-level category because the value is more than 3.7 Bq/cm2 and less than 37 Bq/cm2. The values obtained refer to the standard issued by BATAN. It can be concluded that the patient rooms in the Nuclear Medicine Installation of Abdoel Wahab Sjahranie Hospital are safe

Penggunaan Pewarna Alami Daun Sirih Gading pada Kombinasi Batik Tulis dan Teknik Jumputan

Penggunaan batik pewarna alami tidak merusak lingkunagan dan bahan yang digunakan mudah diadapatkan. Salah satunya pewarnaan batik alami menggunakan daun sirih gading, daun sirih gading tumbuh dengan subur dan merambat, daunya lebat dan lebarnya mencapai 30 cm. Pengembangan dalam bidang batik perlu dilakukan yaitu bertujuan untuk menambah variasi batik yang sudah ada serta sebagai salah satu cara melestarikan batik. Kurangnya minat pembatik menggunakan pewarna alami juga menjadi salah satu alasan judul ini diambil. Metode yang digunakan yaitu eksperimen skala kecil. Proses kombinasi batik tulis dan teknik jumputan yaitu kain digambar kemudian pola gambar pada kain dicanting menggunakan lilin panas, setelah itu kain dijumput dengan pola yang telah ditentukan. Proses pewarnaan daun sirih gading dilakukan dengan cara dicelup sebanyak 5x dan difiksasi menggunakan tunjung. Proses terakhir ialah menghilangkan lilin. Hasil yang diperoleh dalam eksprerimen yang telah dilakukan ialah warna daun sirih gading dalam kombinasi batik tulis dan teknik jumputan yaitu hijau keabu-abuan

Uji Coba Penggunaan Daun Sirih Gading sebagai Bahan Pewarna Alami pada Kain Katun

Tahap pengolahan daun sirih gading sebagai pewarna alami pada kain katun dilakukan dengan cara: (1) menyiapkan alat dan bahan; (2) membuat pewarna daun sirih gading dengan cara direbus dan diblender; (3) uji coba pencelupan pewarna; (4) menyiapkan alat dan bahan fiksasi; (5) proses fiksasi dicelup; (6) uji coba pencelupan kain katun pada air panas (direbus). Proses pengolahan ekstraksi membutuhkan  500 gram daun sirih gading. Ekstraksi direbus, daun sirih gading ditambahkan lima liter air yang kemudian disusutkan menjadi 2,5 liter. Sedangkan pada proses diblender daun sirih gading ditambakan air sehingga menghasilkan ekstraksi sebanyak 2,5 liter. Kain katun yang digunakan pada uji coba diproses terlebih dahulu, yaitu dengan cara mordanting. Mordanting dilakukan untuk menghilangkan kanji pada kain sehingga penyerapan warna lebih maksimal. Proses pewarnaan dilakukan pencelupan sebanyak 5x, 10x dan 12x dengan menggunakan fiksasi tawas, kapur dan tunjung. Banyaknya fiksasi dilakukan sebanyak satu kali hingga dua kali pada masing-masing uji coba. Jumlah fiksasi yang dibutuhkan untuk satu liter air  yaitu 50 gram untuk tunjung dan kapur, serta 70 gram untuk tawas. Diketahui bahwa hasil uji coba sirih gading dengan proses direbus menghasilkan warna abu-abu, dan hasil dari uji coba penggunaan daun sirih gading diblender menghasilkan warna hijau mengarah pada warna abu-abu. Pencelupan sebanyak 12x menghasilkan warna yang lebih pekat di banding dengan pencelupan sebanyak 10x dan 5x. Pencelupan dengan fiksasi tunjung menghasilkan warna lebih gelap (pekat) dibanding tawas dan kapur. Penggunaan fiksasi tawas menghasilkan warna serupa dengan warna sebelum dilakukan fiksasi. Sedangkan penggunaan fiksasi kapur menghasilkan warna lebih muda (terang).   Kata kunci: pewarna alami, sirih gading, ekstraksi

Pengaruh Perbedaan Jenis Terapi Antipsikotik Terhadap Lama Rawat Inap Pasien Skizofrenia Fase Akut Di Rumah Sakit Jiwa Daerah Sungai Bangkong Periode Januari – Desember 2014

Skizofrenia adalah salah satu gangguan jiwa berat yang mempengaruhi seseorang dalam berpikir, merasa, dan bertindak. Prevalensi skizofrenia di Kalimantan Barat pada tahun 2013 adalah 0,7 per 1000 penduduk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan ada atau tidaknya perbedaan lama rawat inap pasien antar jenis terapi antipsikotik yang diberikan kepada pasien skizofrenia fase akut di Rumah Sakit Jiwa Daerah (RSJD) Sungai Bangkong periode Januari – Desember 2014. Desain penelitian berupa analisis cross-sectional dengan metode pengumpulan data secara retrospektif. Penelitian ini dilakukan terhadap 98 rekam medik pasien yang menerima terapi antipsikotik. Data dianalisis dengan analisis univariat dan bivariat. Analisis univariat memberikan gambaran karakteristik pasien, sedangkan analisis bivariat bertujuan untuk melihat ada atau tidaknya perbedaan lama rawat inap pasien antar jenis terapi antipsikotik yang diberikan. Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa jenis antipsikotik dan adjuvant yang paling banyak digunakan pasien adalah risperidon dan triheksifenidil dengan frekuensi pemakaian masing-masing sebanyak 446 kali (25,32%) dan 340 kali (65,89%). Hasil analisis menggunakan One-Way ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa lama rawat inap pasien skizofrenia fase akut yang mendapatkan terapi antipsikotik tunggal tipikal, tunggal atipikal, dan kombinasi tidak mengalami perbedaan yang signifikan (p>0,05). Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa lama rawat inap antar jenis terapi antipsikotik tidak berbeda sehingga dapat disimpulkan jenis terapi antipsikotik yang diberikan tidak mempengaruhi perbedaan lama rawat inap pasien
