Quality of Genom in Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients in Viewed of Temperature, Storage Duration, Number of Leukocyte
Get PDFType II Diabetes Mellitus is a disorder caused by genetic and environmental factors. Molecular analysis of T2DM abnormalities has been carried out. But the analysis in sample preparation especially the stages of DNA isolation has not been done much. The aims of this study are to investigate the effect of temperature, storage duration and level of white blood cell (WBC) with Genome Quality in T2DM. The treatment (n:10) which were divided into several tubes and then stored at 4 °Ϲ, 25 °Ϲ and 32 °Ϲ for 21 days. To determining storage duration effect, we use periodically isolation of DNA (3, 15 and 30 days) after sampling. The effect of WBC with DNA quality was carried out using 17 samples. DNA isolation was done by the DNA Isolation Kit manual without modification and then tested qualitatively and quantitatively. Based on this research, it can be concluded there is a correlation between the numbers of WBC with DNA quality. The higher the number of WBC, the higher DNA concentration (r: 0.818. p value: 0.000). The concentration of DNA at a temperature of 4°Ϲ (135.1 ± 165.2 ng / µl) was higher compared with the temperature treatment 25 ° Ϲ (29.7 ± 36.5 ng / µl) and 32 ° Ϲ (22.14 ± 7.13 ng / µl) (
Comparative study of diagnostic methods for determining the incidence of malaria parasite among children attending the State Specialist Hospital Ikare-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria
Get PDFMalaria is an endemic disease in Sub-Saharan Africa, and it accounts for the death of more than 1million children annually.

The Comparison of Widal Slide Examination Results between Tubex TF on Febrile Observation Patients Over 3 Days
Get PDFTyphoid fever is systematic bacterial disease usually occurs and has a high mortality rate each year, a disease transmitted from person to person due to contamination of feces, food, and water. The cause is bacterium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) which is a natural host and reservoir for human. The limitations of the diagnostic test led to the increasing mortality rate due to typhoid fever. Besides ensuring infection in individuals, accurate serological tests are needed to ascertain the actual burden of the disease. Serological tests which are usually carried out in Puskesmas and hospital are Widal and Tubex Tf examinations. This study aims to determine whether there are differences in Widal and Tubex TF serological examinations in febrile patients over three days non-typhoid so patients can immediately find out whether they have typhoid fever or not. This study used a laboratory exploration method by examining 24 samples using Widal TYDAL and TUBEX® TF IDL Biotech. As many as 24 samples were examined by widal with antisera O, H, AH, and BH. Twenty-four of the same samples analyzed by TUBEX® TF. Results comparison of diagnostic from both methods will be compared using Mc Nemar test with significance = 0.05. Based on the examination which had done, it showed the difference in the results of Widal slide and lg M Anti Salmonella (Tubex Tf) in patients with febrile observation over three days. So, it can conclude that Tubex Tf examinations were better that widal slide examination because Tubex Tf uses Salmonella typhi anti-O9 antigen which can distinguish these organisms from >99% other Salmonella bacteria serotypes so that Tubex Tf examination is more specific
Detection of Salmonella typhi Using Multiplex and Monoplex PCR in Tifoid Fever Patients
Get PDFTyphoid fever is a disease caused by Salmonella typhi infection. This disease is still a global problem. The purpose of this study was to develop a rapid detection method for Salmonella using molecular methods utilizing Inv A and Fim-C Genes. Two methods compared, which are Multiplex and monoplex PCR. The sample is in the form of the patient's blood, which is stored at 3 ml EDTA vacutainer tube consisting of 10 positive samples and five negative samples. The criteria for samples used previously have tested by widal/ immunoserology (titer more than 1/160). The results showed that multiplex PCR for detection of Salmonella using the Inv A gene and fim c gene not recommended because too many bands produced. The application of monoplex in the Inv A gene gives better results than the Fim C gene. In conclusion, the monoplex application on Inv A gene recommended than Fim C gene used to detect S. typhi in human blood samples
