MODIFIKASI MEDIA TANAM UNTUK MENINGKATKAN MUTU BIBIT  HANDEULEUM  (Graptophyllum pictum  L. (Griff.)) DARI  BEBERAPA MACAM ASAL STEK

The research titled "Modification of Planting Media to Improve the Quality of Handeuleum (Graptophyllum Pictum L.) Seedling from Several Kinds of Cuttings Source", was conducted in Sukoharjo, Central of Java. The first treatment was the kind of cuttings source, namely: cuttings from the shoot (S1), cuttings from the second section (S2), and cuttings from the third section (S3). The second treatment factor is the kind of media: sandy soil media (M1), rockwool media (M2), and cocopeat media (M3). The data obtained were analyzed by using the F test at 5% and 1% significantly levels, while the follow-up test was carried out using Duncan's multiple range test at the 5% significantly level. The results obtained indicated that the S treatment (kind of cuttings source) had a significant effect on the variables of the number of branches, number of leaves, and leaf area of each seedling. The highest number of branches and leaves was achieved in the S3 treatment (third section cuttings), followed by S2 (second section cuttings) and S1 (shoot cuttings) treatments. There were a significant difference between the treatments. In leaf area variables, the highest yield was achieved at S1 (shoot cuttings), followed by S2 and S3 which were significantly different between each other. Treatment S showed no significant effect on variables the appearance time of the buds, fresh weight of leaves and dry weight of leaves. The treatment of various media had a significant effect on the leaf area variables of each seedling. Cocopeat media (M3) produced the highest leaf area, followed by M1 (sand media), and M2 (rockwool media) treatments. There was no interaction between treatments of kind of cuttings source and types of media for all observed variables.

Mohammedaltom AAA, Dagash YMI. 2017. The effect of fertilizer type and time of application on growth and forage productivity of mung bean. Asian J Agric 1: 22-28. A field experiment was conducted on April 3, 2016, at the Demonstration Farm of College of Agricultural Studies, Sudan University of Sciences and Technology, Shambat, Khartoum, Sudan to study the effect of some fertilizers and their time of application on growth and forage productivity of mung bean. The treatments were arranged factorially in split-plot trial with four replications. Application time was assigned to the main plot as three times of application: before sowing, with sowing and after sowing. Types of fertilizers as the sub plot including four types of fertilizers: without fertilizer (control), 50 kg ha-1 (organic manure), 100 kg ha-1 (diammonium phosphate), and 10 L ha-1 (humic acid). Different characters were measured include plant height (cm), stem thickness (cm), number of branches/plant, number of leaves/plant, fresh weight/plant (g) as well as dry weight/plant (g). The results revealed that there is a highly significant difference for types and application time of fertilizers and their interaction on plant height, number of leaves, and fresh forage and dry forage. Highly significant differences (p ≤ 0.01) were recorded in types of fertilizers and interaction between different application time and types of fertilizers for number of branch and significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) of application time for number of branch and stem diameter. There was no significant difference in types of fertilizers for stem diameter. The highest height of the plant (28.78 cm), the highest number of branches/plant (9.37), the maximum stem diameter (6.43 cm), the largest number of leaves/plant (31.69), the best fresh weight (815 kg ha-1) and dry weight (161 kg ha-1) were recorded for the treatment of 50 kg ha-1 organic manure applied after sowing.

This study was conducted to evaluate the growth and yield of maize to compost, organomineral fertilizer, and mineral fertilizer at Iyaganku and Moniya farm sites in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Treatments consisted of Organomineral fertilizer (A), Compost (B), Fresh compost (C), Mineral fertilizer (D = N.P.K. 15:15:15), and Control (E = no fertilizer). Experimental design was randomized complete block design replicated four times. Compost treatments (45 kgNha-1) were applied at one week before sowing while N.P.K. 15:15:15 fertilizer (300 Kg N ha-1) was applied two weeks after sowing. The growth and yield data collected were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of GENSTAT Discovery software. Significant means were compared using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at p = 0.05. The results of the analysis revealed no significant difference in the number of leaves and stem girth at 8 weeks after sowing (WAS) at Iyaganku. Tallest maize plants were recorded from plots treated with A and B. Also, treatments showed no significant difference in the dry weight (g/cob) of husked and unhusked maize at harvest. At Moniya, plots treated with A produced high number of leaves while lowest number of leaves were recorded from control plots and plots treated with B, C, and D. Similarly, no significant difference was observed in stem girth, plant height, dry weight (g/cob) of husked and unhusked maize at harvest between control plots, and plots treated with C, and D. Larger stem girths, tallest plants, dry weight (g/cob) of husked and unhusked maize at harvest were observed in plots treated with A and B. The results from Moniya farm site suggest that organomineral fertilizer and compost have the potential to enhance the growth and yield of maize in studied location.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the responses of various concentrations of NAA (25, 50, 75 ppm) and Pseudomonas inoculum on growth, yield and some biochemical parameters of sesame (Sesamum indicum L. var. BARI Til-4). Results revealed that application of NAA treatments and Pseudomonas inoculum reduced plant height non-significantly. Significant result was recorded on number of branches per plants from 50 ppm NAA treated plants. Plants treated with 75 ppm NAA produced maximum number of leaves, fresh and dry weight of leaves and roots, leaf area per plant and specific leaf weight whereas significant variation was found on leaf area. Seeds treated with Pseudomonas inoculum exhibited maximum shoot and root ratio which showed non-significant variation with the results of NAA treated plants. Yield contributing parameters viz., number of pods per plant, fresh and dry weight of pods per plant, 1000-seed weight were recorded maximum from 75 ppm NAA which were statistically similar to control. Maximum length of pod and number of seeds per pod were also recorded from 75 ppm NAA treated plants which eventually produced 32.54% higher yield than control. Harvest index was significantly influenced by all the treatments. Foliar NAA treatments and Pseudomonas inoculum had stimulatory effects on pigment contents of fresh leaves at vegetative stage where, Pseudomonas inoculum treated plants produced significantly higher chlorophyll a and carotenoids content than control. Significantly higher protein content of fresh leaves and seeds were also recorded from 75 ppm NAA treated plants. Out of four treatments, 75 ppm NAA produced better responses in most of the parameters.

SummaryAim: Assessment of the clinical benefit of i.v. contrast enhanced diagnostic CT (CE-CT) compared to low dose CT with 20 mAs (LD-CT) without contrast medium in combined [18F]-FDG PET/CT examinations in restaging of patients with lymphoma. Patients, methods: 45 patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 35) and Hodgkin's disease (n = 10) were included into this study. PET, LD-CT and CECT were analyzed separately as well as side-by-side. Lymphoma involvement was evaluated separately for seven regions. Indeterminate diagnoses were accepted whenever there was a discrepancy between PET and CT findings. Results for combined reading were calculated by rating indeterminate diagnoses according the suggestions of either CT or PET. Each patient had a clinical follow-up evaluation for >6 months. Results: Region-based evaluation suggested a sensitivity/specificity of 66/93% for LD-CT, 87%/91% for CE-CT, 95%/96% for PET, 94%/99% for PET/LD-CT and 96%/99% for PET/CE-CT. The data for PET/CT were obtained by rating indeterminate results according to the suggestions of PET, which turned out to be superior to CT. Lymphoma staging was changed in two patients using PET/ CE-CT as compared to PET/LD-CT. Conclusion: Overall, there was no significant difference between PET/LD-CT and PET/CE-CT. However, PET/CE-CT yielded a more precise lesion delineation than PET/LD-CT. This was due to the improved image quality of CE-CT and might lead to a more accurate investigation of lymphoma.

Abstract Objectives To assess the long-term outcome of breast reconstructions with special focus on chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) in a larger cohort of breast cancer survivors. Methods A cross-sectional study on 121 women with mastectomy and breast reconstruction after mean 2 years 4 months follow up. The mean time from breast reconstruction to the follow-up visit was 4 years 2 months. We studied surveys on pain (Brief Pain Inventory, BPI and Douleur Neuropathique 4, DN4), quality of life (RAND-36 health survey), sleep (insomnia severity questionnaire, ISI), mood (Beck’s Depression Index, BDI; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HADS), and a detailed clinical sensory status. Patients were divided into three groups: abdominal flap (Deep inferior epigastric perforator flap, DIEP; Free transverse rectus abdominis flap, fTRAM, and Pedicled transverse rectus abdominis flap, pTRAM), dorsal flap (Latissimus dorsi flap, LD and Thoracodorsal artery perforator flap, TDAP), and other (Transverse myocutaneous gracilis flap, TMG; implant). Clinically meaningful pain was defined ≥ 4/10 on a numeric rating scale (NRS). We used patients’ pain drawings to localize the pain. We assessed preoperative pain NRS from previous data. Results 106 (87.6%) of the patients did not have clinically meaningful persistent pain. We found no statistically significant difference between different reconstruction types with regards to persistent pain (p=0.40), mood (BDI-II, p=0.41 and HADS A, p=0.54) or sleep (p=0.14), respectively. Preoperative pain prior to breast reconstruction surgery correlated strongly with moderate or severe CPSP. Conclusions Moderate to severe CPSP intensity was present in 14% of patients. We found no significant difference in the prevalence of pain across different reconstruction types. Preoperative pain associated significantly with postoperative persistent pain.

Introduction After extensive mediastinal dissection fails to achieve adequate intra-abdominal esophageal length, a Collis gastroplasty(CG) is recommended to decrease axial tension and reduce hiatal hernia recurrence. However, concerns exist about staple line leak, and long-term symptoms of heartburn and dysphagia due to the acid-producing neoesophagus which lacks peristaltic activity. This study aimed to assess long-term satisfaction and GERD-related quality of life after robotic fundoplication with CG (wedge fundectomy technique) and to compare outcomes to patients who underwent fundoplication without CG. Outcomes studied included patient satisfaction, resumption of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), length of surgery (LOS), hospital stay, and reintervention. Methods This was a single-center retrospective analysis of patients from January 2017 through December 2018 undergoing elective robotic hiatal hernia repair and fundoplication. 61 patients were contacted for follow-up, of which 20 responded. Of those 20 patients, 7 had a CG performed during surgery while 13 did not. There was no significant difference in size and type of hiatal hernias in the 2 groups. These patients agreed to give their feedback via a GERD health-related quality of life (GERD HRQL) questionnaire. Their medical records were reviewed for LOS, length of hospital stay (LOH), and reintervention needed. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v 25. Satisfaction and need for PPIs were compared between the treatment and control groups using the chi-square test of independence. Results Statistical analysis showed that satisfaction with outcome and PPI resumption was not significantly different between both groups ( P > .05). There was a significant difference in the average ranks between the 2 groups for the question on postoperative dysphagia on the follow-up GERD HRQL questionnaire, with the group with CG reporting no dysphagia. There were no significant differences in the average ranks between the 2 groups for the remaining 15 questions ( P > .05). The median LOS was longer in patients who had a CG compared to patients who did not (250 vs. 148 min) ( P = .01). The LOH stay was not significantly different ( P > .05) with a median length of stay of 2 days observed in both groups. There were no leaks in the Collis group and no reoperations, conversions, or blood transfusions needed in either group. Conclusion Collis gastroplasty is a safe option to utilize for short esophagus noted despite extensive mediastinal mobilization and does not adversely affect the LOH stay, need for reoperation, or patient long-term satisfaction.

Ecmo Therapy

Background and Objectives: Over the past decade, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has developed into a mainstream treatment for refractory cardiogenic shock (CS) to maximal conservative management. Successful weaning of VA-ECMO may not be possible, and bridging with further mechanical circulatory support (MCS), such as urgent implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), may represent the only means to sustain the patient haemodynamically. In the recovery phase, many survivors are not suitably prepared physically or psychologically for the novel issues encountered during daily life with an LVAD. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of our institutional database between 2012 and 2019 was performed to identify patients treated with VA-ECMO for CS who underwent urgent LVAD implantation whilst on MCS. Post-cardiotomy cases were excluded. QoL was assessed prospectively during a routine follow-up visit using the EuroQol-5 dimensions-5 level (EQ-5D-5L) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) surveys. Results: Among 126 in-hospital survivors of VA-ECMO therapy due to cardiogenic shock without prior cardiac surgery, 31 (24.6%) urgent LVAD recipients were identified. In 11 (36.7%) cases, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was performed (median 10, range 1–60 min) before initiation of VA-ECMO, and in 5 (16.7%) cases, MCS was established under CPR. Mean age at LVAD implantation was 51.7 (+/−14) years and surgery was performed after a mean 12.1 (+/−8) days of VA-ECMO support. During follow-up of 46.9 (+/−25.5) months, there were 10 deaths after 20.4 (+/−12.1) months of LVAD support. Analysis of QoL questionnaires returned a mean EQ-5D-5L score of 66% (+/−21) of societal valuation for Germany and a mean PHQ-9 score of 5.7 (+/−5) corresponding to mild depression severity. When compared with 49 elective LVAD recipients without prior VA-ECMO therapy, there was no significant difference in QoL results. Conclusions: Patients requiring urgent LVAD implantation under VA-ECMO support due to CS are associated with comparable quality of life without a significant difference from elective LVAD recipients. Close follow-up is required to oversee patient rehabilitation after successful initial treatment.
