"Supra-optimal intake of sodium fluoride (NaF) during early childhood results in formation of irreversible enamel deffects. Monofluorophosphate (MFP) and NaF was considered as less toxic than NaF but equally cariostatic. We compared the potency of MFP and NaF to induce preeruptive sub-ameloblastic cysts and post-eruptive white spots and pits in developing hamster enamel. Hamster pups were injected subcutaneously with either NaF or MFP in equimolar doses of either 9 mg or 18 mg F/kg body weight. At 9 mg F/kg, MFP induced more but smaller sub-ameloblastic cyts with a collective cyst volume twice as large as that induced by NaF. Eight days after F injection, all F-injection groups had formed 4-6 white spots per molar, with an additional 2 pits per molar in the low MFP group. Twenty-eight days after injection, most white spots had turned into pits (5-6 per molar) and only the high MFP group still contained 2 white spots per molar. We conclude that parenterally applied MFP is more potent in inducing enamel defects than NaF. Most white spots formed turn into pits by functional use of the dentition. The higher potency of parerental MFP may be associated with sustained elevated F levels in the enamel organ by enzymatic hydrolysis of MFP by alkaline phosphatase activity."

"Scope and Method of Study: Typhoid and paratyphoid fever are still a major problem in developing countries viewed from epidemiological, laboratory, as well as clinical aspects. Reliable laboratory diagnosis is the blood culture. However, failure of the blood culture occurs, due to the bactericidal effect of blood (phagocytes, complement, and specific and nonspecific antibodies, among others). Microbiologists are challenged to improve the blood culture by adding sodium polyanethol sulphonate (SPS) in the media. SPS is capable to inactivate the blood bactericidal effect, is an effective anticoagulant, non-toxic to most pathogens, stable to high temperature, acid and alkaline solutions, and is water-soluble.The objective of this study is to compare bile culture plus 0.05% SPS to conventional bile culture for the growth of salmonella in blood. The result was evaluated by the rate of growth in both cultures after 1 minute, 4 hours and 12 hours (logarithmic phase). The number of organisms was calculated from growth on nutrient agar plates when the range-of growth were 30-300 colonies per 0.1 ml inoculum, and the dilution of both cultures.Findings and Conclusions: Fifty isolates representing five species of salmonellae has been tested and showed that the number of organisms per ml in the SPS bile culture was not significantly different compared to conventional bile culture. In conclusion, the SPS bile culture is the same as conventional bile culture for the growth of S. typhi, S. pa-atyphi A, B, C, and S. typhimurium in blood from healthy humans, with a blood-broth ratio of 1: 10."

"Latar Belakang: Irigasi endodontik konsentrasi tinggi Natrium Hipoklorit (NaOCl) 5% telah banyak dilaporkan menurunkan viabilitas sel punca pulpa (hDPSCs) namun merupakan bahan irigasi pilihan untuk perawatan endodontik. Sehingga dibutuhkan larutan lain untuk menetralkan efek NaOCl seperti Sodium thiosulfate (STS) yang bersifat antioksidan agar potensi anti mikroba NaOCl tetap baik namun tidak mempengaruhi viabilitas sel punca pulpa. Tujuan: Mengetahui efek penggunaan STS 5% setelah paparan NaOCl 1,5% dan NaOCl 5%-PBS-EDTA 17%-PBS dengan variasi paparan waktu terhadap viabilitas hDPSCs. Metode: Sel primer hDPSCs yang telah 80% confluent dan mencapai P3-P4 dilakukan starvation 24 jam, diberikan perlakuan berupa NaOCl-PBS-STS 5%-EDTA 17%-PBS, DMEM sebagai kontrol negatif dan NaOCl 1,5% serta 5% sebagai kontrol positif. Pengamatan viabilitas sel punca pulpa dengan uji flowcitometry MTT-assay. Hasil: Perbandingan antara kelompok NaOCl 5% terhadap kelompok NaOCl 5% - STS 5% 60’ berbeda tidak bermakna (p>0,5) namun nilai viabilitas kelompok NaOCl 5% - STS 5% 60’ lebih tinggi dibanding kelompok NaOCl 5%. Kesimpulan: Sodium thiosulfate sebagai agen antioksidan dan penetralisir NaOCl cukup efektif dalam mempertahankan viabilitas sel punca pulpa pada konsentrasi NaOCl 5% dengan paparan waktu 60’.

Background: Endodontic irrigation with high concentrations of 5% Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) has been reported to decrease pulp stem cell viability (hDPSCs) however NaOCl is the irrigant of choice for endodontic treatment. Another solution is needed to neutralize the effects of NaOCl, such as Sodium thiosulfate (STS) an antioxidant that has good antimicrobial but minimally effect on the viability hDPSCS. Objective: To determine the effect of 5% STS after exposure to 1.5% NaOCl and 5% NaOCl-PBS-EDTA 17%-PBS with variations in exposure time on the viability of hDPSCs. Method: hDPSCs that has been 80% confluent and reach P3-P4 done starvation for 24 hour,was given treatment of NaOCl-PBS-STS 5%-EDTA 17%-PBS, DMEM as a negative control and NaOCl 1.5% and 5% as a positive control. Observation of viability by MTT-flow cytometry assay. Results: The comparison between the 5% NaOCl group and the 5% NaOCl - 5% STS 60' group was not significantly different (p>0.5) but the viability value of the 5% NaOCl - 5% 60' NaOCl group is higher than 5% NaOCl group. Conclusion: Sodium thiosulfate as an antioxidant agent and NaOCl neutralizer is quite effective in maintaining the viability of pulp stem cells at 5% NaOCl concentration with an exposure time of 60'."

"ABSTRACTSodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is a strong contender for as a new battery system over lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for rechargeable large-scale energy storage applications. Cathode materials for SIBs have been well developed. Anode materials, on the other hand, are still under development. Transition metal oxides cumulating Na ions by chemically conversion reactions and intercalation mechanism have made extensive research interest due to its high theoretical capacity. In particular, tin dioxide has been primarily studied as an auspicious anode material for both LIBs and SIBs. However, significant volume changes take place during battery charging and discharging, especially in SIBs. It has been well documented that the electrochemical properties of the material can be enhanced by using several strategies, such as nanostructuring and doping of a second element, such as cobalt (Co). In this study, porous CoSnO3 nanocubes were synthesised, characterised, and tested against SIBs. The material yielded a performance of 306.7 mAhg-1 sodium-ion storage capacity at a current density of 50 mAg-1, which is quite a high number when compared with other anode material such as nickel oxide (300 mAhg-1), tin dioxide (170 mAhg-1), and cobalt oxide (153.8 mAhg-1).

"Penggunaan kemasan makanan yang semakin meningkat membuat sampah plastik menjadi isu lingkungan terbesar. Semenjak penggunaan plastik konvensional berasal dari polimer fossil, sehingga sulit diuraikan oleh bakteri. Solusi yang tepat adalah menggantikanya dengan bioplastik. Penelitian ini menggunakan Chlorella vulgaris sebagai produsen Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) karena PHB memiliki karakteristik seperti biodegradabilitas, termoplastisitas, hidrofobik dan biokompatibilitas dengan sel dan jaringan, serta sifat fisik serupa dengan polypropylene yang berpotensi dalam aplikasinya di bidang pengemasan makanan, farmasi dan medis. PHB didapatkan dengan cara mengisolasi biomassa dari Chlorella vulgaris. Penelitian ini akan mempelajari metode isolasi PHB menggunakan metode disrupsi sel secara kimia dan mekanis yaitu dengan NaClO dan sonikasi dengan variasi konsentrasi massa dan konsentrasi pelarut. Metode isolasi dari C. vulgaris yang paling sederhana dan ekonomis adalah dengan tahapan umum berupa disrupsi sel, presipitasi PHB, dan pemurnian PHB.

The increasing use of food packaging makes plastic waste the biggest environmental issue. Since the use of conventional plastic comes from fossil polymers, so it is difficult to be decomposed by bacteria. The right solution is to replace it with bioplastics. This study uses Chlorella vulgaris as a producer of Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) because PHB has characteristics such as biodegradability, thermoplasticity, hydrophobicity and biocompatibility with cells and tissues, and physical properties similar to polypropylene which has the potential in its application in food, pharmaceutical and medical packaging. PHB is obtained by isolating biomass from Chlorella vulgaris. This research will study the method of PHB isolation using chemical and mechanical cell disruption methods, namely NaClO and sonication with variations in mass concentration and solvent concentration. The simplest and most economical method of isolation of C. vulgaris is the general stages of cell disruption, PHB precipitation, and PHB purification. The method of quantifying PHB is by calculating the yield of PHB, then identification of PHB by FTIR, and testing the quality of the best PHB compounds by GCMS. The parameters used in this study are yield, PHB physical results, and PHB test results. In the condition of 0.6% w/v sample concentration and 1.37% w/v solvent concentration using ultrasonication, the best PHB isolation yield was 37.2%. GCMS sample results showed the presence of n-hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid), 9-Octadecanoic acid (oleic acid), 2- Palmitoylglycerol, and Octadecanoic acid (stearic acid) as the main compounds that could potentially be bioplastic materials."

"Mayoritas cangkang kapsul hingga tahun 2014 masih berbahan gelatin yang bersumber dari kulit dan tulang babi. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, riset cangkang kapsul nabati mulai berkembang dengan berbahan dasar ekstrak rumput laut seperti karagenan, alginat, HPMC, dan pektin. Cangkang kapsul nabati yang sudah ada perlu diberi penambahan polihidroksibutirat (PHB), sebuah biopolimer yang tahan suhu tinggi, tahan pH ekstrem, biodegradable, biocompatible, hingga cocok untuk slow release. Metode isolasi dari S. platensis yang paling simpel dan ekonomis dengan tahapan umum berupa disrupsi sel, presipitasi PHB, dan pemurnian PHB. Sodium hipoklorit adalah pelarut pendisrupsi sel yang banyak digunakan untuk isolasi PHB dari mikroalga sedangkan sodium hidroksida bisa digunakan untuk isolasi PHB dari E. coli. Parameter yang diuji dalam penelitian ini adalah konsentrasi sel sampel S. platensis serta rasio konsentrasi pelarut NaClO dan NaOH yang ditambahkan. Metode identifikasi PHB adalah FTIR, kuantifikasi PHB dengan menghitung massa dan yield PHB secara manual, lalu mengestimasi perbandingan nilai ekonomi proses isolasi pada tiap variabel. Pada kondisi pelarut NaClO 0,0265 M, hasil dengan yield terbaik ditunjukkan pada variasi 0,04 g/mL dengan massa PHB 2 x 10-3 g dan yield 0,16 %. Hasil dengan keuntungan tertinggi adalah variasi konsentrasi sampel 0,06 g/mL dengan yield 0,12%. Penggunaan NaOH sebagai tambahan rasio pelarut meningkatkan pH larutan dengan terlalu drastis sehingga mengurangi efektivitas isolasi PHB oleh NaClO.

The majority of capsule shells until 2014 are still made from gelatin sourced from pork skin and bones. To overcome this problem, research on vegetable capsule shells began to develop based on seaweed extracts such as carrageenan, alginate, HPMC, and pectin. Existing vegetable capsule shells need to be added with polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biopolymer that is high temperature resistant, extreme pH resistant, biodegradable, biocompatible, and suitable for slow release. The simplest and most economical method of isolation from S. platensis with general stages is cell disruption, PHB precipitation, and PHB purification. Sodium hypochlorite is a cell disrupting solvent that is widely used for extraction of PHB from microalgae while sodium hydroxide can be used for extraction of PHB from E. coli. The parameters tested in this study were the concentration of S. platensis sample cells and the ratio of NaClO and NaOH solvent concentrations added. The PHB identification method is FTIR, PHB quantification by calculating mass and PHB yield manually, then estimating the comparison of the economic value of the extraction process for each variable. In the conditions of NaClO 0.0265 M, the best yield results were shown in the variation of 0.04 g/mL with a mass of PHB 2 x 10-3 g and a yield of 0.16%. The results with the highest gain are variations in sample concentration of 0.06 g/mL with yields of 0.12%. The use of NaOH in addition to the solvent ratio increases the pH of the solution too drastically thereby reducing the effectiveness of PHB isolation by NaClO."
