Feed is one of the important components in fish farming as a source of material and energy, feed is also the largest component (50-70%) which causes an increase in production costs. Therefore, to reduce feed production costs is to mix inexpensive and easily accessible natural feed with a high enough protein content. During the harvest season the avocado is abundant and avocado seeds are disposed of as waste. This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of avocado Perseaa mericana M. and pumpkin Cucurbita moschata D seed on the growth and feed efficiency of Osphronemus gouramy Lac. The design used non-factorial Completely Randomed Design consisting of 4 treatments and 6 replications: P0 (control feed), P1 (40 grams of avocado seed feed + 40 grams of pumpkin seeds + 20 grams of mixed ingredients), P2 (20 grams of avocado seed feed + pumpkin seeds 60 grams + 20 grams of mixed ingredients) and P3 (60 grams of avocado seed feed + 20 grams of pumpkin seeds + 20 grams of mixed ingredients). Data analysis used Analysis of variance and Duncan’s test using SAS 9.3.1 software. The results showed that giving a combination of avocado seeds and pumpkin seeds can increase the growth of gouramy. The highly effective growth was found in P2 feed of 11.86 grams with a growth rate of 2.69% / day, while low growth occurred in the P3 treatment of 9.46 grams with a growth rate of 2.11% per day. The proximate test of the test feed showed that the highest protein was found in P2 feed, namely 25.01%. The best feed efficiency was found in P2 feed which had 6.91% crude fiber, and the highest protein content in P2 was 18.36%. It concluded that there was an effect of a combination of avocado and pumpkin seed feed on the growth and feed efficiency of Gouramy.

Invasion is a characteristic of the occurrence of cancer and indicates the cancer cells' capability to destroy and degrade the border between the epithet and basal membrane to further spread into the surrounding extra-cellular matrix. The purpose of this research was to find the existence of impediment at the SP-C1 tongue cancer cell using celecoxib chemopreventive medication. The SP-C1 tongue cancer cells were treated in vitro using celecoxib medication as a research subject at the following concentrations 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125%; and 0 as control group (only DMEM growth medium treatment). Pure experimental testing was carried out for 24 and 48 hours, with observation and calculation of an average number of SP-C1 tongue cancer cells. The data collected were analyzed using the ANOVA test with Newman Keuls paired range test or t-test. Research results indicated that the average number of SP-C1 tongue cancer cells invasion after administration of celecoxib medication based on administration concentration and time statistically yielded significant results. The ANOVA test results were statistically significant, that is, average occurrence of the number of SP-C1 tongue cancer cells due to the use of celecoxib at certain concentrations compared to that without celecoxib was different. At celecoxib of zero (control) concentration was 24.4 with celecoxib concentration starting at 5 up to 125% experienced a decline from its average 11 to become 2.3. The conclusion of the research was that the greater the celecoxib concentration administered, the greater the effect on the impediment of SP-C1 tongue cancer cell invasion.

The incidence of tongue cancer in Indonesia reached 1.01% of all cancers and 42% of oral cavity cancer. Tongue cancer therapies including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and all three combined therapy.
