Effect of Fermented Soymilk-Honey from Different Probiotics on Osteocalcin Level in Menopausal Women.

Osteoporosis has been discovered to be a risk factor for menopausal women. Although synbiotics (probiotics and prebiotics) are found in fermented soymilk-honey made using local probiotics, their effect on osteocalcin levels is still unknown. Therefore, this study's objective was to determine the influence of fermented soymilk-honey from different probiotics on osteocalcin levels.

Nutrient loading and farm characteristics of giant gourami fish aquaculture systems in Lake Maninjau, Indonesia: basic knowledge of production performance.

Surface modification and improvements of wicking properties and dyeability of grey jute-cotton blended fabrics using low-pressure glow discharge air plasma.

Herein, we reported the improvements of wicking properties and dyeability of the jute-cotton blended (40:60) fabrics due to the effect of low-pressure glow discharge (LPGD) air plasma under selected exposure times. The microscopic features, functional groups, wettability, contact angles, wetting area, wicking rates, and reflectance values of the jute-cotton blended fabrics were analyzed using numerous experimental techniques. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques were used to investigate the morphological and compositional modifications of plasma-treated jute blended cotton fabrics.

The anterolateral ligament complex of the knee has gained attention for its role in rotational instability of the knee, especially in association with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. The role of an isolated lateral extra-articular tenodesis procedure among those patients presenting with residual rotatory instability after primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has not been reported on.

The potentials of secondary metabolites from Bacillus cereus SN7 and Vagococcus fluvialis CT21 against fish pathogenic bacteria.

One of the major factors that affect the total production of fisheries is the declining number of catches and aquaculture production due to the high pathogenicity in aquatic environment. This enforces the need to find anti-pathogenic agents that could solve the problem. In addition, the application of potential Bacillus cereus SN7 and Vagococcus fluvialis CT21 isolated and identified from the sea water of Siak, Riau, Indonesia need to be optimally exploited.

Accuracy of compact-stencil interpolation algorithms for unstructured mesh finite volume solver.

This study considers the accuracy of cell-to-face centre interpolation of convected quantities in unstructured finite volume meshes with cell-centred storage of variables. The accuracy of the interpolation algorithms were tested in isolation using ideal data to determine their numerical accuracy on both standard and artificially distorted meshes. It was found that the formally second- and third-order accurate interpolations based on one-dimensional interpolation along the line connecting the cells to the right and left of the face under consideration only have first-order accuracy in standard unstructured mesh, and less than first-order accuracy in distorted unstructured mesh.

Genotype Distribution of Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms among Indonesian Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B.

Background: Chronic hepatitis B is a necro-inflammatory of the liver parenchyma caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection leading to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Genetic variants including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes regulating immune response may contribute to the progression of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. This study aimed to examine the genotype distribution of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphism among patients with CHB infection and to study its association with the development of cirrhosis and hepatoma.

Use of chicken feather meal fermented with in diets to increase the digestive enzymes activity and nutrient digestibility of silver pompano (Lacepede, 1801).

: Feather has the potential to be used as a fish feed ingredient because it has high protein content (80-85%), and is rich in amino acids arginine, leucine, isoleucine and valine. However, the protein consists mainly of keratin, which is classified as fiber that is difficult to digest. Therefore, to improve digestibility, the keratin protein is degraded using microbial .

Mediation of Coping Strategies among Patients with Advanced Cancer.

Mini open triple tunnel- double flip button techniques in treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint injuries: Case report.

Acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are common and often occur in a contact sport activity. Most acute AC joint injuries surgery techniques focus on coracoclavicular (CC) ligament complex fixation; by single or double clavicle tunnel, but persisting vertical instability. In this paper, we introduce mini open triple tunnel- double flip button (TTDB) technique for acute AC joint dislocation by adding tunnel on clavicle to expand coverage of footprint of conoid and trapezoid ligament in order to improve vertical stability of the AC joint.

High stocking density and intensive feeding in aquaculture systems lead to the accumulation of organic waste, which results in an increase in ammonia, nitrite, and nitrite concentrations in culture media. Biofloc is a potential technology to overcome this problem. The starter is a crucial carbon source for bacteria in the formation of biofloc.

Exercise retards hepatocarcinogenesis in obese mice independently of weight control.

Background & Aims: Obesity and type 2 diabetes increase hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence in humans and accelerate diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in mice. We investigated whether exercise reduces HCC development in obese/diabetic Alms1 mutant (foz/foz) mice and studied protective mechanisms.

Methods: We measured HCC development in DEN-injected male foz/foz and wild-type (WT) littermates housed with or without an exercise wheel from week 4 until 12 or 24 weeks, and in foz/foz mice pair-fed to WT littermates.
