Averrhoa bilimbi L and Ficus carica L contain many active compounds particularly fl avonoid in all parts of the plant especially its fruits and leaves. Flavonoid can be used as exogenous antioxidants. This research was done to analyze the acceptance and fl avonoid content of the formulated syrup of Averrhoa bilimbi L and Ficus carica Leaves. This research was an experimental study with completely randomized design. There were 4 times repetition in 4 formulas, one control formula (F0) and 3 modifi ed formulas (F1, F2, F3). Data was analyzed by Friedman and Wilcoxon Test (α=0.05). The result of sensory evaluation showed that the syrup was generally accepted and liked by the panelists (colour, fl avour, texture, and taste). The taste of the formula 1 (FI) was more acceptable than others. Statistical analysis showed that there was no signifi cant on differences colour between formulas. Meanwhile fl avors, texture and taste between formulas (α0.05). Syrup made of Averrhoa bilimbi L and Ficus carica L leaves are recommend as a functional food with fl avonoid content of 0.233% per 100 ml syrup or 233 mg. This fl avonoid content which can fulfi ll the fl avonoid requirement in either healthy condition or hypercholestrolemia.

SummaryThe mechanism of dissolution of a preformed plasma clot was explored.Our experiments showed clearly that the purified fibrin clot, made by extensive washing of a plasma clot, was resistant to lysis and that the fibrinolytic potential of the active fibrinolytic compounds was related to the presence of other plasma proteins in addition to fibrinogen.The activation of the fibrinolytic precursors was reversible inasmuch as removal of the fibrinolytic compounds negated the fibrinolytic activity of the protein-fibrinolytic compound mixture.Antifibrinolytic compounds which had been shown to interfer with fibrinolysis by streptokinase-activated plasminogen inhibited dissolution of the preformed plasma clot by fibrinolytically active compounds.The fibrinolytic potential of fibrinolytic compounds was additive; however, no apparent synergism was observed.The implication of these results to the mechanism of synthetic fibrinolysis was discussed.

The introduction of the eleven-spotted ladybird Coccinella undecimpunctata to New Zealand in 1874 has been widely quoted as the first importation of an insect for biological control in New Zealand and one of the first anywhere. However, searches of historical records show no evidence that such an introduction was made or attempted. Instead, there is clear evidence that the presently accepted record arose by a process of cumulative misreporting. An account of discussions in the Entomological Society of London in December 1873 about possible introductions of various beneficial insects to New Zealand was misreported by the American entomologist C. V. Riley, and several subsequent authors restated his version with further modifications and additions. This created the record of the introduction of C. undecimpunctata to New Zealand in 1874 that has been accepted and repeated ever since.
