Foetal pig neuroblasts are interesting candidates as a cell source for transplantation, but xenotransplantation in the brain requires the development of adapted immunosuppressive treatments. As systemic administration of high doses of cyclosporine A has side effects and does not protect xenotransplants forever, we focused our work on local control of the host immune responses. We studied the ad...

One of the nutritional problems of hospitalized patients is hypoalbuminemia. Hospitality malnutrition data in Indonesia shows that 45% -50% of patients suffer from hypoalbuminemia, some of whom are at life-threatening level. In an effort to help patients with hypoalbuminemia is albumin administration in form of Human Serum Albumin (HSA), which until recently is still an expensive choice. Snakeh...

In social insects, the typical mode of colony foundation occurs when a single queen is inseminated by a male and establishes a new colony, although we can find interspecific and intraspecific variations in queen number and queen-mating frequencies in a single colony. This study aimed to verify the queen number in Pachycondyla striata (Smith) colonies and to evaluate the level of aggressiveness ...

We used in vivo microdialysis to investigate the effects of local perfusion with the AChE inhibitor neostigmine on the basal and haloperidol evoked increase in dialysate dopamine levels in the dorsolateral and fundus striata of the bilaterally implanted halothane anaesthetized rat. In the absence of neostigmine basal dopamine was consistently higher in the dorsolateral striatum compared with th...

Among the Tethyan larger porcelaneous foraminifera widespread from middle–late Eocene to middle Miocene, Austrotrillina Parr, 1942 is only genus showing a non-homogeneous shell structure. This consists of parakeriotheca, coated by thin, dense tectum. Four species (A. brunni, A. eocaenica, howchini, striata) have been often used as biostratigraphical markers in Mediterranean and Indo-Pacific are...

In situ hybridization of a digoxigenin-labeled oligonucleotide probe combined with computer-assisted image assessment was used to directly visualize D2 receptor mRNA-containing neurons in rat striata, and quantify age-related changes in the sizes and relative mRNA content of these neurons. It was found that: (1) numbers of D2 mRNA-containing neurons appear to decrease in striata of aged rats, (...

This study aims to determine the effect of giving EM4 probiotics on growth and survival rate snakehead (Channa striata). research was carried out at Fish Hatchery Laboratory, Faculty Marine Fisheries, Universitas Syiah Kuala. conducted using a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) method with 4 treatments used, namely A (control), B (EM4 6 ml/kg feed), C 8 D 10 feed). The results showed that additio...

Snakehead fish with different geographical differences can have an impact on genetic diversity. DNA barcoding is a system designed to identify species precisely and accurately by using short standardized gene regions. This study aims determine the diversity of snakehead populations in four areas East Java. used Cytochrome b (Cyt b) sequence mitochondrial variation wild population Channa striata...
