Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a world-wide pandemic. Internationally, because of availability, accessibility, and distribution issues, there is a need for additional vaccines. This study aimed to: establish the feasibility of personal dendritic cell vaccines to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, establish the safety of a single subcutaneous vaccine injection, and determine the antigen-specific immune response following vaccination. In Phase 1, 31 subjects were assigned to one of nine formulations of autologous dendritic cells and lymphocytes (DCL) incubated with 0.10, 0.33, or 1.0 µg of recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, and admixed with saline or 250 or 500 µg of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) prior to injection, then assessed for safety and humoral response. In Phase 2, 145 subjects were randomized to one of three formulations defined by incubation with the same three quantities of spike protein without GM-CSF, then assessed for safety and cellular response. Vaccines were successfully manufactured for every subject at point-of-care. Approximately 46.4% of subjects had a grade 1 adverse event (AE); 6.5% had a grade 2 AE. Among 169 evaluable subjects, there were no acute allergic, grade 3 or 4, or serious AE. In Phase 1, anti-receptor binding domain antibodies were increased in 70% of subjects on day-28. In Phase 2, in the 127 subjects who did not have high levels of gamma interferon-producing cells at baseline, 94.4% had increased by day 14 and 96.8% by day 28. Point-of-care personal vaccine manufacturing was feasible. Further development of such subject-specific vaccines is warranted.
Biofilm formation and the expression of icaA gene can be induced by environment conditions that are potentially toxic for bacterial cells. The effect of green flies maggots secretion to biofilm was studied some years ago to investigate in vitro effect of secretion of Chloroprocta sp. maggots on the formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm (phenotype) and the expression level of icaA gene (genotype) for indicating its mechanism on bacterial biofilm eradication. Microtiter plate biofilm assay was used to measure the effect of Chloroprocta sp. maggots secretion at various concentration on S. epidermidis biofilm. The expression level of icaA gene was performed by Real TimePCR using lightcycler method. The biofilm susceptibility test was done against maggots excretion/secretion using MTT assay. Whereas planktonic susceptibility testing was carried out using Kirby Bauer method. In the presence of maggots secretion at low concentration (5%), biofilm formation of S. epidermidis 734 was induced. In contrast, the expression level of icaA gene in production of maggots excretion/ secretion at concentration of 5% was lower than that of without maggots secretion (1/2 Fold). Eradication of bacterial biofilm was demonstrated after 48h incubation (MD=-0,011;P<0,05), but planktonic cell. In vitro difference effect of the Chloroprocta sp. maggots secretion at low concentration to phenotype and genotype of S. epidermidis biofilm showed that the possibility of maggots secretion ability to eradicate bacterial biofilm was not mainly due to the expression level of icaA gene.
World TB report from World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017 informed that Indonesia was second country with TB case. Multi Drug Resistance pulmonary infection’s case in Indonesia were 12.000. Kariadi hospital is one of tertiary hospital for pulmonary MDR-TB treatment but, there is no study about risk factor of it yet, so it needed to find risk factors of MDR-TB pulmonary infection in Kariadi hospital. Cross Sectional design using secondary data from Medical Record from January 1st - December 31, 2017 with result of Mycobacterium tuberculosis on GeneXpert sputum examination. Bivariate analysis with Chi square test and multivariate analysis was done by multiple logistic regression. The p value was considered significant if <0.05, all analyzes were 2-tailed. Totally 110 patients were obtained during periode, 55 samples for case and 55 samples for control. There were correlation between smoking habit OR = 3,1 (CI 95% 1,1-8,7), malnutrition OR = 2,9 (CI 95% 1,3-6,3), contact with patient with MDR pulmonary TB infection OR = 12,0 (CI 95% 1,5-97,3), past treatment OR = 81,7(CI 95% 23,4-285,2) and ≥6months past treatment OR = 94,5 (CI 95% 12,1-736,2. Risk factor that could influence together were contact with patient with MDR pulmonary TB infection OR = 34,5 (CI 95% 2,6-464,5), past treatment OR = 39,4 (CI 95% 8,3-186,3) and ≥ 6months past treatment OR = 12,4 (CI 95% 1,3-117,7). Risk factors for the incidence of pulmonary MDR TB infection are past contact with patient with MDR pulmonary TB infection, past treatment and ≥ 6months past treatment.

Based on the results of inferential statistical analysis, the tcount value (2.81) is greater (>) the ttable value (1.6973) at a significance level of 21%. Thus H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. From the results of the study, it was concluded that there was a significant relationship between the School Literacy Movement and the Reading Comprehension Ability of High Grade Students of UPT SD Inpres 5/81 Ajangpulu, Cina District, Bone Regency.
