antimalarial activity of Miq. Stem extracts and fractions on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay.

Objectives: The rapid spread of antimalarial drug resistance is becoming a problem in the treatment of malaria. The fact was indicated the importance of finding new antimalarial drugs. The genus Garcinia is well known to be a rich source of bioactive prenylated xanthones and triterpenes reported for their antimalarial activity.

A POTENTIAL ZOONOTIC PARASITE: TRANSMISSION IN RATS, PIGS AND HUMANS IN WEST LOMBOK, INDONESIA.

Background: is a neglected zoonotic disease, but with the expansion of the human community into the animal environment, its incidence is increasing. Animals such as rats and pigs can act as intermediate hosts and transmit to humans due to their proximity. Transmission occurs due to the ability of to survive in any new host.

Comparison of mini-flotac and Kato-Katz methods for detecting soil-transmitted helminth eggs in 10% formalin preserved stools stored >=12 months.

In Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) control programs, microscopic examination is applied as a standard method for detecting the presence and the number of STH eggs. The time limitations of fresh specimen processing, especially for an accurate quantitative diagnosis, cause the specimen processing to be delayed or should be performed at a referral laboratory. This deferment requires preservatives to keep the stool integrity without reducing the accuracy.

Analysis of serological data to investigate heterogeneity of malaria transmission: a community-based cross-sectional study in an area conducting elimination in Indonesia.

Background: Analysis of anti-malarial antibody responses has the potential to improve characterization of the variation in exposure to infection in low transmission settings, where conventional measures, such as entomological estimates and parasitaemia point prevalence become less sensitive and expensive to measure. This study evaluates the use of sero-epidemiological analysis to investigate heterogeneity of transmission in area conducting elimination in Indonesia.

Methods: Filter paper bloodspots and epidemiological data were collected through a community-based cross-sectional study conducted in two sub-districts in Sabang municipality, Aceh province, Indonesia in 2013.

Reduction in Vasa Vasorum Angiogenesis by Lp-PLA2 Selective Inhibitor Through The HIF-1α and VEGF Expression Under Dyslipidemic Conditions in Atherosclerosis Pathogenesis.

Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease which may lead to major cardiovascular events. The primary cause of atherosclerosis is Dyslipidemia. The increased level of lipid profile triggers endothelial dysfunction.
