Pengaruh Lactococcus Lactis D4 terhadap Ekspresi Interleukin-6, Interleukin-32, Nuclear Factor-KappaB, Smooth Muscle Alpha Actin pada Tikus Model Obstructive Jaundice
Full text linkObstructive jaundice merupakan jenis jaundice yang umum terjadi dengan morbiditas dan mortalitas tinggi. Penyebabnya meliputi koledokolitiasis, striktur bilier, dan tumor ganas. Kondisi ini dapat menyebabkan disfungsi sistem retikuloendotelial, penekanan sistem imun, serta kerusakan mukosa usus yang berkontribusi terhadap endotoksemia dan translokasi bakterial. Probiotik, terutama yang berasal dari dadiah, berpotensi menurunkan inflamasi dan translokasi bakteri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh Lactococcus lactis D4 dari dadiah terhadap mediator inflamasi pada tikus model obstructive jaundice. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain eksperimental laboratorik dengan posttest only randomized control group design. Lima belas ekor tikus galur Wistar jantan dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok: Sham, BDL, dan BDL + LLD4. Tikus dipelihara selama 7-10 hari dan diberi susu fermentasi selama 7 hari pada kelompok BDL+LLD4. Ekspresi IL-6, IL-32, NF-kB, dan α-SMA dianalisis menggunakan imunohistokimia. Analisis penelitian dilanjutkan dengan membandingkan ketiga kelompok. Pemberian Lactococcus lactis D4 pada tikus dengan bile duct ligation menunjukkan penurunan pada ekspresi NF-kB, α-SMA dan mengalami peningkatan IL-6 dan IL-32 dibandingkan dengan kelompok BDL. Lactococcus lactis D4 dari dadiah efektif menurunkan inflamasi dan kerusakan hepar pada tikus model obstructive jaundice sebagai terapi adjuvan untuk menurunkan morbiditas dan mortalitas pada pasien dengan obstructive jaundice
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Giant Liver Abscess pada Usia Muda: Sebuah Laporan Kasus
Full text linkAbses hati amuba disebabkan infeksi Entamoeba histolytica yang bermanifestasi amebiasis ekstraintestinal invasif dan sering ditemukan di negara tropis termasuk Indonesia. Abses hati amuba menyebabkan 50.000 kematian di dunia. Penegakkan diagnosis membutuhkan pencitraan hati dan serologis. Penemuan parasit Entamoeba histolytica penting dalam penentuan etiologi abses hati amuba. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melaporkan kasus seorang pria 20 tahun dengan gejala nyeri perut kanan atas, demam, mual, dan anoreksia, serta mengevaluasi efektivitas drainase abses laparoskopik sebagai metode penanganan. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis data klinis dan evaluasi hasil terapi. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa pasien mengalami perbaikan klinis setelah pengobatan dengan metronidazole dan drainase laparoskopik, dengan tidak adanya komplikasi fisik tambahan. Entamoeba histolytica merupakan amuba yang ditransmisikan melalui jalur fecal-oral dan masuk ke sirkulasi darah yang selanjutnya membentuk abses di hati. Pasien datang dengan ukuran abses hati besar dan memerlukan tindakan drainase secara operatif. Abses hati amuba umumnya berespon baik dengan pengobatan medikamentosa. Namun, pada kasus tertentu seperti ukuran abses yang besar dibutuhkan tindakan drainase perkutaneus untuk mencegah ruptur abses. Pasien ditatalaksana dengan pemasangan drainase secara laparaskopik. Pemasangan drainase laparaskopik memiliki cedera fisik yang lebih sedikit. Tatalaksana yang tepat dapat menghindari komplikasi pecahnya abses hati
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
