Research about the effect of greenpeal sprout Phaseolus radiatus L. on the spermatozoa density of Mus musculus L. has been done. The purpose of this research was to know the effect of greenpeal sprout Phaseolus radiatus L. on the spermatozoa density of Mus musculus L. Mice is feeded with greenpeal sprout for 21 days. The sperm is collected from cauda of epididimis diluted physiological solution and counted using haemocytometer. The result showed that micefeeding with greenpeal sprout could increase the density of its spermatozoa. It showed from increase the density of its spermatozoa from 11,05 million/cc sperm in control group become 11,78 million/cc sperm in treatment group by use of T test. Fidelity guarantee 95 percent explain that there are positive correlation and significant.

The Banda Islands consist of three main islands namely Banda Besar Island, Banda Naire Island, and Banda Api Island. Banda Api Mountain is an active volcano and based on history has erupted 20 times over the past 400 years. The eruption of volcanic ash has covered most of Banda Naire Island in the east and Banda Big Island in the east and south of Banda Api Mountain. This study aims to determine the characteristics and classification types of soil formed from parent material deposited in recent volcanic ash in different topographic positions. The method used was free survey method through toposequence approach by determining the profile point based on a straight line (transect) while soil classification refers to the Soil Taxonomy System. The results of the study showed that the profile of the soil at the position of the foothills on the island of Banda Naire and the Banda Besar morphologically had Andisols properties (Typic Hapludands), but in generally the physical and chemical characteristics of each soil profile did not match with the Andisols requirements so that they were classified into the Inceptisols (Vitrandic Eutrudepts and Vitrandic Dystrudepts) (in the slope and foothills), while at the top of the hill were classified as Entisols (Typic Udipsamments).

The microscopic examination of smear from sputum specimens plays an important role in the initial diagnosis and monitoring of pulmonary TB treatment. The Ziehl Nelseen method is the method for examining acid-resistant bacteria smear recommended by WHO. This method has high specificity for detecting acid-resistant bacteria in sputum. This study aims to determine the effect of postponement of sputum smear staining on the quality of acid-resistant bacteria germs on the results of microscopic examination using the Ziehl Nelseen staining method. The length of time to delay staining used was 3 days, 2 days and the control was direct preparations staining. The sample used was positive smear sputum. The results showed that from 10 samples of sputum, the results obtained were directly stained with results of 1+ there were 7 samples, and 2+ there were 3 samples, while the samples with the preparations were delayed for 2 days and 3 days at room temperature, respectively +1 as many as 7 samples, and 2+ as many as 3 samples. However, there was no difference in the reading of the staining results between the direct stained samples with the stained preparations with a delay of 2 days and 3 days at room temperature. The results of this study still have many shortcomings and to improve them it is recommended to carry out further research with a larger scale and sample size.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) is associated with atherosclerosis, which causes the disease. cardiovascular and increased mortality. It is still difficult to detect ateroskelerosis in the early stages. Arterial stenosis often develops without symptoms in patients. DMT2, then causes cardiovascular disease. Therefore, development diagnostics to easily detect early-stage atherosclerosis are needed. In this study, we focused on cystatin C serum, an inhibitor of cysteine proteinase. Some research results, it has reported a significant correlation between serum Cystatin C levels and Arterial stiffness in a group of normal individuals. Cystatin C serum has a correlation strong with a value of elasticity of the carotid artery walls that reflect the degree of atherosclerosis subclinical. This is a new sign that is quite potential as a biomarker of early detection atherosclerosis. The purpose of the study is to know the picture serum Cystatin C levels as an early marker to determine the presence of possible complications of atherosclerosis in DMT2 patients, as well as the usefulness of Cystatin-C in predicting atherosclerosis of the early stages. Research methods are analytical research with use cross-sectional design. The study was conducted by calculating the value of Cystatin C blood serum with DMT2. The study subjects were people with DMT2 in RSUD.Labuang Baji Makassarand its network. Sum the sample in this study was 20 people. Determination of the research subject is done by conducting a search on medical records of DMT2 patients who meet the criteria of inclusion and exclusion to achieve minimum number of samples. The study subjects were classified into two groups based on medical record data searches are subclinical atherosclerosis group and nonclinical group ateroskelorosis. The research sample is a serum sample. Serum sample examination is carried out in the Clinical Prodia Laboratory using PENIA method. The results of this study reported the results that Cystatin-C Serum is closely correlated with subclinical atherosclerosis (arterial stiffness. Increase in serum cystatin-C levels indicates the risk of atherosclerosis in Patients with DMT2. The results of this study reported that serum cystatin C levels in dmt2 patients in the nonclinical atherosclerosis group (n = 10) showed normal cystatin levels (0.50 - 0.96 mg/L), while serum Cystatin-C levels in dmt2 group patients showed normal cystatin levels (0.50 - 0.96 mg/L), while serum cystatin-C levels in DMT2 group patients Subclinical atherosclerosis (n = 10) has an increase in serum cystatin-C levels (> 0.90 mg/L). Level cystatin C serum is associated with SA in DMT2 patients. Cystatin C was identified as a predictor of atherosclerosis risk, after adjusting for a variety of factors associated with diabetes.

Keamanan pangan menjadi salah satu masalah kesehatan yang perlu diperhatikan karena konsumsi pangan yang tercemar oleh mikroorganisme atau bahan kimia yang dapat menyebabkan suatu penyakit yang disebut foodborne disease. Daun kemangi mampu menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri salah satunya Salmonella typhii. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ada atau tidaknya bakteri Salmonella typhii pada sayuran lalapan kemangi (Ocimum sanctum L) menggunakan pengujian Biokimia. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Mikrobiologi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Hasanuddin Makassar. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah rancangan eksperimental dengan teknik probability sampling berjumlah 10 sampel pada 10 lokasi berbeda di pasar Kota Makassar, dilakukan dengan identifikasi bakteri menggunakan medium selektif, kemudian isolasi bakteri dengan medium SSA dan medium NA, kemudian dilakukan uji Biokimia kemudian dilakukan pewarnaan gram. Sampel yang teridentifikasi bakteri Salmonella typhii dilakukan uji daya hambat dengan medium MHA dan antibiotik, selanjutnya dilakukan pengukuran zona hambat yang terbentuk dengan menggunakan jangka sorong. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 10 sampel dengan kode S1-S10, didapatkan pada sampel S1 terdapat bakteri Salmonella typhii. Kesimpulan bahwa terdapat bakteri Salmonella typhii pada sayuran lalapan kemangi yang diambil di pasar Kota Makassar.
