The endeavor of Denpasar City Government in establish the wellbeing of its people especially the underprivileged households is conducting a house renovation aid program in order to accomplish the essential privileges of livable and healthy housing. With numerous problems during the development program execution, therefore, this study is carried out to evaluate the program implementation to determine the program effectiveness index and its relationship between the program effectiveness and the increase of the wellbeing of underprivileged households. The primary data are composed from survey feedbacks of sequence of questions in a questioner. While, the secondary data were collected from Office of Spatial Planning and Housing of the City of Denpasar and other related agencies. The methods used in data collection consist of interviews and questionnaires.  Out of 30 questions in the questioner, all were affirmed valid and reliable. The analytical tool utilize in the study were descriptive analysis, effectiveness analysis in term  of input variables, output variables, outcome variables and impact variables which modify Dantes' formula; and Chi Square analysis to distinguish the relationship between program effectiveness and program's impact to wellbeing improvement. Of the five Dante's categories of effectiveness index, the analysis of the feedbacks of 68 respondents which distributed in four districts in the City of Denpasar are presented in this study. The total score value of program implementation effectiveness, indicated by X, X = 4581, within the range 3400 ? X ? 4760. This index value showed that the implementation of the house renovation for underprivileged households aid program is classified to be less effective. The value of Chi Square of the study is greater than its critical value (47.33 > 13.277). It is indicating that there is a significant relationship between program effectiveness and the program impact to the people wellbeing improvement. It is suggested that when the program and its impact is to be continued, the effectiveness variables need to be optimized and so the managements improvements in order to increase the wellbeing of the underprivileged households.

e16211 Background: Nuclear factor E2-related factor-2 (NFE2L2) gene encodes a transcription factor which is a member of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins family. Overexpression of NFE2L2 lead to cell proliferation and promoted tumor metastasis. Previous report indicated that NFE2L2 mutation (NFE2L2-MT) was an independent poor prognostic factor in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the correlation between NFE2L2 mutation and pan-cancer types of TMB, MSI, and PD-L1 expression is unclear. Methods: TMB analysis was performed in 3,716 Chinese pan-cancer patients who underwent NGS sequencing using a 539 gene panel. The TMB calculation included synonymous and nonsynonymous mutations and InDels. MSI analysis was performed in 3,110 patients. MSI-H was defined as above 10% positive of the 195 tested microsatellites sites. The PD-L1 expression analysis was performed in 3,415 patients with immunohistochemistry staining (IHC) by antibody SP263. PD-L1 positive was defined as greater than or equal to 1%. The statistical correlation was investigated using Chi-square analysis. TMB value was compared using Wilcoxon Rank Sum test. We used TCGA public database to verify the result. Results: The mutation frequency of NFE2L2 mutation was 2.66% (99/3716). The TOP 5 cancer types were liver cancer 3.53% (14/397), lung cancer 2.97% (42/1416), colorectal cancer 2.02% (7/347), gastric cancer 1.36% (3/221), soft tissue sarcoma 0.53% (1/189). NFE2L2-MT had a significant correlation with higher TMB (p = 2.2e-16), compared with NFE2L2 wild-type (NFE2L2-WT). Among 3110 samples with MSI status, the MSI-H percentage of NFE2L2-MT and NFE2L2-WT were 8.60% (8/93) and 1.33% (40/3017), respectively (p = 1.29e-7). In 3,415 patients with PD-L1 protein expression information, the PD-L1 positive percentage of NFE2L2-MT and NFE2L2-WT were 51.52% (51/99) and 61.9% (1,268/2,048), respectively. NFE2L2-WT has higher PD-L1 positive percentage than NFE2L2-MT (p = 0.01). NFE2L2-MT was significantly correlated with higher TMB and MSI when we used TCGA data to verify, p<0.0001. However, the survival analysis of 1661 MSKCC immunotherapy cohort showed that the median OS of NFE2L2-MT vs NFE2L2-WT was 21 months vs 18 months (p=0.858), but the difference was not significant. Conclusions: NFE2L2 mutation has a very significant correlation with higher TMB and MSI, but not related to PD-L1 expression. However, whether NFE2L2-MT is related to the efficacy of immunotherapy was still unclear and more clinical data were needed.

Revitalisasi Kawasan Braga sudah dilakukan selama hampir 20 tahun. Namun, masyarakat belum merasa puas dengan revitalisasi yang ada, karena seolah-olah tidak di pertimbangkan dengan matang dan kurang dilibatkannya masyarakat dalam program tersebut. Masyarakat menjadi kurang aktif dalam kegiatan revitalisasi Jalan Braga. Padahal masyarakat yang merasakan dampak dari adanya revitalisasi tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat partisipasi dengan kepuasan masyarakat terhadap program revitalisasi. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah metode analisis kuantitatif dengan teknik analisis deskriptif kuantitatif, skoring dan crosstab. Jumlah Sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 80 sampel. Hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa tingkat partisipasi masyarakat masih tergolong rendah dengan total skor 1367. Apabila dikaitkan dengan tangga partisipasi Arnstein (1986) partisipasi masyarakat ada pada tahap “Informing”. Sedangkan kepuasan masyarakat tergolong cukup puas dengan skor1717. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dengan analisis crosstab diketahui hasil chi square test 2(3, N = 80) = 38.285; p < 0,05 atau taraf signifikansinya 0,000 < 0,05 sehingga Ho ditolak dan H1diterima. Hal ini menyatakan ada hubungan antara partisipasi dengan kepuasan masyarakat. Sedangkan berdasarkan hasil uji kolerasi maka diketahui r(80) = 0.637; p>0.01 dan r(80) = 0.682; p>0.01 yang artinya hubungan antar variable tergolong kuat. Berdasarkan koefisien kolerasinya maka diketahui bahwa hubungan antar variabel memiliki hubungan yang positif. [Correlation between Community Participation and Community Satisfaction in Revitalization Program at Braga Street, Bandung] Braga revitalization has already been done for almost 20 years. Nevertheless, people there still feel dissatisfied because it is not carefully considered as though and lack of participation in revitalization program. Whereas, people around are those who affected by revitalization program. This research aims to learn about correlation between participation level and satisfaction level towards the program. The analysis method used in this research is quantitative analysis by quantitative descriptive, scoring, and crosstab technique. Number of samples used in this research are 80 samples. Meanwhile, the result found is that level of community participation considered in a low level with score 1367. When associated with Arnstein’s participation ladders, the level of community participation is on informing stage. Whilst, the research’s result about level of community satisfaction is considered in a quite satisfied level with score 1717. Based on the crosstab analysis, known that the result of chi-square test 2(3,N= 80)=38.285;p<0.05 or significance degree is 0.000<0.05 so Ho rejected and H1 accepted. It is stated that there is a correlation between participation and community satisfaction. While, based on correlation test, known that r(80)=0.637;p>0.01 and r(80)=0.682;p>0.01 which means the correlation considered in a strong level and correlation coefficient has a positive relation.

ABSTRACT Objective: In this paper, cavity experiences of children with different levels of eruption and cavity activities that are enrolled at an elementary school with semi-rural characteristics in Kırıkkale Provincial center were monitored for 2 years after a variety of protective applications. Materials and Methods: Three hundred and twenty-two children at the age of 7–11 were included in this study. Children were grouped as follows according to their cavity experiences and applications done: Group 1 - control group (with or without cavities) – was given hygiene training only; Group 2 - with medium level cavity activity (2–4 cavities in average) – oral hygiene training + surface restoration applied; Group 3 - children with 2–4 cavities on average – oral hygiene training + professional flour gel applied; Group 4 - children with 2–4 cavities in average – oral hygiene training + flour gel applied with brush; Group 5 - children with extreme cavity activity (children with 5 or more cavities) – oral hygiene training + surface restoration + professional flour gel combination applied. Results: At the end of the 2nd year, 277 children were reached. The increase of number of cavities in permanent teeth was determined as 35%, 0%, 1%, 0%, and 7% in groups 1–5, respectively. The difference between groups was found to be significant (Chi-square analysis, Pearson Chi-square = 27.002, P < 0.01). Conclusion: These findings have showed that, in Kırıkkale Provincial center, some cavity-preventive measures such as surface restoration and gel applications, along with hygiene training, could provide optimum protection for school-age children.

419 Background: Renal cell cancer (RCC) incidence is relatively low in younger patients, encompassing 3-5% of all RCC tumors. These tumors tend to be due to hereditary syndromes and genetic mutations that predispose to cancer development. Patients with hereditary renal cancer (HRC) are at a higher risk of multiple tumors and bilateral disease. We hypothesize that there is a difference in histologic distribution in the younger patients and that the younger distribution contains more aggressive histologic subtypes. Methods: SEER 18-registries database was queried for all patients ≥20 years old that were surgically treated for renal cell carcinoma between the years 2001 and 2008. Patients with unknown race, grade, stage, or histology were excluded from the study. Histologies selected were clear cell, papillary, chromophobe, sarcomatoid, and collecting duct. Three cohorts were created with the ages 20-44, 45-64, and ≥65 year olds that contained 3,926, 19,661, and 16,323 patients respectively. Chi-square analysis was used to compare the histologic distributions between the cohorts. Results: There was no difference in the incidence of clear cell RCC between the three cohorts (p = 0.63). The histology distribution was not different in the 45-64 year olds compared to those ≥65 (p = 0.47). The non-clear cell histologies were different between the 3 age groups (p < 0.001). There were a larger percentage of patients in the younger patients that had chromophobe tumors compared to all non-clear cell histologies (p< 0.001). Conclusions: The difference in the non-clear cell histologic distribution between the groups is most likely due to genetic mutations predisposing these patients to chromophobe RCC. There has been limited data on HRCs, due in large part to its low incidence. Although the HRCs are known to have a most common histology, it is likely that this information is incomplete, as younger patients have undiagnosed genetic mutations that led to development of chromophobe tumors.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an alternative method for producing in vitro-fertilized embryos in horses. Some authors have suggested that using the piezo drill to inject the spermatozoon is required to obtain acceptable blastocyst rates after ICSI. In order to avoid the use of this equipment, the aim of our study was to evaluate 4 different chemical activation protocols and their effect on embryo development. Cumulus–oocyte complexes were recovered from ovaries of slaughtered mares. The maturation medium was DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1 μL mL–1 of insulin-transferrin-selenium, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 100 mM cysteamine and 0.1 mg mL–1 of FSH at 39°C in a humidified atmosphere of 6.5% CO2 in air for 24 h. The ICSI was carried out in 20-μL droplets of TALP-HEPES with a 9-μm pipette, using frozen-thawed spermatozoa from 1 stallion. Spermatozoa were held separate in 100-μL droplets of Modified Whittens. Motile spermatozoa were aspirated and transferred to a 5-μL drop of 7% (v/v) polyvinylpyrrolidone, where 1 sperm was immobilized by swiping the injection pipette across its tail; then, the sperm was injected into the oocyte. All injected oocytes were subjected to 8.7 μM ionomycin for 4 min, followed by 1 of 3 further activation treatments: (1) 4-h culture in 1 mM 6-DMAP and 10 mg mL–1 of cycloheximide, starting 3 h after ionomycin; (2) 5-h culture in 10 mg mL–1 of cycloheximide, starting 10 min after ionomycin; (3) An extra incubation with 5 mM ionomycin for 4 min, starting 3 h after ionomycin. Some injected oocytes were left without a further activation protocol (group 4). After activation, injected oocytes were cultured in 100-μL droplets of DMEM/F12 with 5% of FBS at 39°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% O2, 5% CO2 and 90% N2. Cleavage (48 h after activation) and blastocyst formation (7–8 days) of all experimental groups were assessed. Culture medium was renewed on Day 3 with fresh DMEM/F12 with 5% of FBS. At Day 9, the zona pellucida of some blastocysts was removed and the blastocysts were maintained in culture until Day 15. Blastocyst growth was determined every 24 h. Statistical differences (using chi-square analysis) were observed in cleavage with treatments 1 and 3 when compared to the other groups (1: 30/52, 58%; 2: 8/40, 20%; 3: 9/25, 36%; and 4: 10/38, 26%). There was no difference on blastocyst rates based on injected oocytes (1: 5/52, 9.6%; 2: 2/40, 5%; 3: 1/25, 4%; and 4: 2/38, 5.3%). On Day 7, blastocyst quality did not differ among treatments and on Day 15, blastocysts from groups 3 and 4 reached 1130 μm and 4300 μm, respectively. Despite the difference observed in cleavage, this work suggests that equine blastocysts could be obtained with all of the activation protocols, without the use of the piezo drill. Further studies are required to assess the effect of chemical activation on in vivo development of produced blastocysts to confirm that they are not parthenogenetic. We are grateful to Mr. Willem Melchior, La Vanguardia Polo Club for some financial support and encouragement to undertake this project.

This paper aimed at finding out what constraint women in transport sector in Lokoja and why employers are reluctant in employing women in the sector? The null hypothesis is that women constraints have no significant effect in transportation sector in Lokoja. Information for the paper was basically from the questionnaire survey method Data generated were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, simple percentages and graphical illustrations. Chi-square analysis was used to test the formulated hypothesis. The result reveals that women constraints have significant effect in transportation sector in Lokoja. Transport business in Lokoja is so dominated by male counterpart and yet some routes are not adequately covered. Based on the aforementioned findings, it is recommended that social attitude in Lokoja, Kogi state and Nigeria in general should be changed in favour of women employment in transport sector. The government of Kogi state should establish driving schools and transport scheme meant to enhance the livelihood of women. The National Union of Road Transport Worker (NURTW) should encourage women to invest in the sector.
