Background: Health and quality of life (QOL) are crucial constituents. In providing social safety for older people, the weakening social support system and rising burdens are having huge impact. Purpose: To assess the QOL of old age people and their relationship with availing of non-food-based social assistance schemes. Methods: This was a descriptive community-based study which was conducted in urban slums of Bankura district, West Bengal among all individuals aged ≥60 years fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria. WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire was used for assessing QOL. Results: A total of 107 participants were recruited for the study. Most common morbidities were hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic bronchitis, etc. The majority (80.5%) of participants were receiving non-food-based NSAS for less than 10 years. Overall QOL was ‘Good’ in 69.2% of study subjects. Most of the elderly had ‘Good’ QOL in Physical, Psychological, Social, and Environment domains. Participants availing non-food-based NSAS had good physical, social, environmental health of QOL and overall QOL. Conclusion: Despite good QOL among the elderly, appropriate and relevant health indicators need to be developed.

'Jayanti Agrihorti' is a superior chrysanthemum therefore rooted cuttings quality is required. In vitro propagation increases the rate of propagation and produces true-to-type plants. The research to obtain the best explants and culture medium composition that is capable of producing high-quality plants. The research was arranged in a randomized complete block design consisting of two factors. The first factor was the explant, including the apical shoot of 0.5 cm, 1.0 cm, and the nodal segment. The second factor was in vitro culture medium composition (CP), consisting of CP1 (Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium for initiation, followed by MS + 2.5 mg.L⁻¹ gibberellic acid (GA₃) for subculture), CP2 (MS + 0.25 mg.L⁻¹ benzyl amino purine (BAP) for initiation, followed by MS for subculture), CP3 (MS + 0.25 mg.L⁻¹ BAP for initiation, followed by MS + 2.5 mg.L⁻¹ GA₃ for subculture), and CP4 (MS + 0.5 mg.L⁻¹ BAP for initiation, followed by MS + 0.25 mg.L⁻¹ BAP for subculture). Acclimatization was performed after third subculture. The apical shoot size of 0.5−1.0 cm is optimum for producing chrysanthemum-rooted cuttings. Meanwhile, MS medium for initiation stage, followed by MS + 2.5 mg.L⁻¹ GA₃ for subculture is the best culture medium composition for in vitro propagation. This explant and culture medium composition produced higher chlorophyll a, b, and a+b content, thereby resulting in higher plant, more leaves, larger stem diameter, and longer root length. This are recommended for chrysanthemum propagation, particularly in 'Jayanti Agrihorti'.

Pendahuluan: Salah satu terapi pada penanganan osteomielitis adalah sequestrectomy. Sequestrectomy merupakan suatu usaha penghilangan sekuester yang telah terbentuk melalui pembedahan dengan trauma minimal. Evaluasi pasca sequestrectomy dapat dilakukan menggunakan pemeriksaan radiografi panoramik. Radiograf panoramik dapat memperlihatkan gambaran tulang alveolar pasca sequestrectomy pada kasus osteomielitis, serta dapat menemukan kelainan lain yang bersifat asimtomatik seperti florid osseous dysplasia (FOD). Tujuan dari laporan kasus ini adalah untuk menjelaskan lebih lanjut mengenai gambaran radiografis panoramik pasca sequestrectomy kasus osteomielitis yang disertai temuan kelainan lain yang bersifat asimtomatik seperti FOD. Laporan kasus: Pasien datang dengan rujukan radiografi panoramik untuk evaluasi pasca sequestrectomy dengan diagnosis klinis osteomielitis supuratif kronis. Dari hasil foto panoramik didapatkan bahwa masih terdapat gambaran radiolusen dan gambaran radioopak sisa serpihan tulang (sekuester) dan gambaran FOD pada region lain. Gambaran radiografis panoramik pada kasus ostemielitis pasca sequestrectomy masih menunjukkan gambaran moth-eaten, masih ada sekuester, sisa serpihan tulang, terlihat gambaran radioopak di tengah dan di sekitar pulau radiolusen. Hal ini menandakan bahwa osteomielitis belum sembuh meski telah dilakukan sequestrectomy. Ditemukan pula gambaran lesi radioopak lainnya, yaitu suspek FOD pada region lain. FOD rentan infeksi sehingga memungkinkan terjadinya osteomielitis. Simpulan: Gambaran radiograf panoramik dapat digunakan sebagai metode evaluasi penunjang pasca sequestrectomy pada kasus osteomielitis dan juga dapat digunakan sebagai metode untuk menemukan kelainan yang bersifat asimtomatik seperti FOD. Kata kunci: Osteomielitis, sequestrectomy, florid osseous dysplasia, radiograf panoramik. ABSTRACT Introduction: One of the osteomyelitis treatments is sequestrectomy, which attempts to remove sequesters formed surgically with minimum trauma. Post-sequestrectomy evaluation can be performed using panoramic radiographs. Panoramic radiographs can show alveolar bone images after sequestrectomy in osteomyelitis cases and can find other asymptomatic disorders such as florid osseous dysplasia (FOD). This case report was aimed to explain the panoramic radiographs after sequestrectomy of osteomyelitis cases accompanied by findings of other asymptomatic abnormalities such as FOD. Case report: A patient was presented with a panoramic radiograph referral for post-sequestrectomy evaluation with a clinical diagnosis of chronic suppurative osteomyelitis. The panoramic photo results found that there were still radiolucent images and radioopaque images of bone debris (sequester) and FOD images in other regions. In the post-sequestrectomy osteomyelitis case, panoramic radiographs still showed moth-eaten, sequesters, remaining bone fragments, radioopaque images in the middle and around the radiolucent islets. This result indicated that osteomyelitis has not healed despite sequestrectomy. There were also features of other radioopaque lesions, namely suspected FOD in other regions. FOD is susceptible to infection, thus allowing osteomyelitis. Conclusion: Panoramic radiographs can be used as a supporting evaluation method after sequestrectomy in osteomyelitis cases and can also find asymptomatic abnormalities such as FOD. Keywords: Osteomyelitis, sequestrectomy, florid osseous dysplasia, radiograph panoramic.

Pendahuluan: Tingkat perkembangan dan maturasi seorang pasien tidak dapat diketahui secara pasti dari usia kronologis, dikarenakan adanya variasi waktu percepatan pertumbuhan pubertas pada setiap individu, maka perlu ditentukan usia biologisnya. Usia biologis ini dapat ditentukan dari usia tulang berupa kualitas tulang yang dapat dilihat dari ukuran densitas tulang. Radiograf panoramik dapat menilai kualitas kepadatan (densitas) tulang secara makrostruktur dan mikrostruktur. Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel perempuan karena perempuan cenderung kehilangan densitas mineral tulang lebih cepat daripada laki-laki. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu menganalisis korelasi usia kronologis dengan densitas tulang pada radiograf panoramik pada pasien perempuan. Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional, dengan menggunakan analisis korelasi. Populasi penelitian menggunakan data primer dari seluruh radiograf panoramik pasien perempuan usia 5-35 tahun pada bulan Desember 2016-Januari 2017 di Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut (RSGM) Universitas Padjadjaran dengan jumlah sampel 64 orang. Analisis densitas tulang trabekula mandibula dilakukan dengan menggunakan software ImageJ dengan Region of Interest (ROI) 4x4mm pada tepi distal foramen mentale mandibula. Hasil: Rerata ukuran densitas tulang trabekula pada kelompok usia 5-11 tahun 17,54%, kelompok usia 12-16 tahun 21,06%, kelompok usia 18-25 tahun 24,01%, dan kelompok usia 26-35 tahun 25,96% dengan hasil korelasi Pearson r = 0,827, dan nilai p=0,0001. Simpulan: Terdapat korelasi antara usia kronologis dengan nilai densitas tulang trabekula pada radiograf panoramik pasien perempuan, yaitu semakin bertambahnya usia kronologis maka nilai densitas tulang juga akan semakin meningkat sesuai dengan rentang usia penelitian 5-35 tahun. Kata kunci: Usia kronologis, densitas tulang, radiograf panoramik, software imageJ. ABSTRACT Introduction: The level of development and maturation of a patient can not be known with certainty from chronological age, due to variations in the time of pubertal growth spurt in each individual, it is necessary to determine the biological age. This biological age can be determined from bone age in bone quality, which can be seen from the bone density measurement. Panoramic radiographs can assess the quality of bone density macrostructure and microstructure. This study used a female sample because female tend to lose bone mineral density faster than male. This study was aimed to analyse the correlation between chronological age and bone density on female patients’ panoramic radiographs. Methods: This research was cross-sectional with correlation analysis. The study population used was the primary data from all panoramic radiographs of female patients aged 5-35 years in December 2016-January 2017 at Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital (RSGM Unpad) with a total sample of 64 people. Mandibular trabecular bone density analysis was performed using ImageJ software with a 4x4mm Region of Interest (ROI) on the mandibular mental foramen’s distal edge. Results: The mean size of trabecular bone density in the 5-11 years age group was 17.54%, the 12-16 years age group was 21.06%, the 18-25 year age group was 24.01%, and the 26-35 years age group was 25.96%; with the results of Pearson correlation r=0.827, and the p-value = 0.0001. Conclusion: There is a correlation between chronological age and the value of trabecular bone density on the panoramic radiograph of female patients, that is, the increasing of chronological age will also increase the value of bone density, according to the age range of the study (5-35 years). Keywords: Chronological age, bone density, panoramic radiographs, image-J software.

Lili (Lilium sp.) termasuk famili Liliaceae, merupakan tanaman hias yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi karena permintaan konsumen terus meningkat. Permintaan varietas tanaman yang seragam menuntut pengembangan hibrida F1. Perakitan tanaman hibrida dapat dihasilkan melalui pembentukan tanaman haploid. Salah satu metode untuk memproduksi tanaman haploid adalah dengan kultur antera. Pengecekan tanaman hasil kultur antera dapat dilakukan dengan penghitungan jumlah kloroplas dan jumlah kromosom, namun untuk lili hasil belum diperoleh informasi mengenai korelasi antara jumlah kloroplas pada sel penjaga stomata dengan jumlah kromosom, sehingga tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengatahui korelasi antara jumlah kloroplas dengan jumlah kromosom serta mengetahui tingkat ploidi pada regeneran lili hasil kultur antera. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Kultur Jaringan Balai Penelitian Tanaman Hias (BALITHI) Cianjur dari Januari-Juni 2016. Terdapat 5 nomor lili yang diuji tingkat ploidinya. Setiap nomor terdiri dari 4 ulangan, setiap ulangan ada 4 botol dan masing-masing botol terdiri dari 3 planlet. Metode analisis yang digunakan yaitu statistik sederhana rata-rata dan standar eror dan dikorelasikan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan planlet haploid terbanyak ditemukan pada nomor 2015.1.1 kelompok Longiflorum dengan jumlah 26,67% sedangkan planlet haploid yang jumlahnya paling sedikit ditemukan pada nomor 2015.S2.3 kelompok Oriental dengan jumlah 11,11%. Metode kultur antera dapat menghasilkan planlet haploid namun pada Lilium sp. persentase keberhasilannya masih rendah. Tidak diperoleh korelasi antara jumlah kloroplas dan kromosom. Penelitian lebih lanjut terkait tingkat ploidi tanaman lili dan pengujian jumlah kromosom dengan menggunakan flowcytometer perlu dilakukan. Lily (Lilium sp.), Liliaceae family, is an ornamental plant that has a high economic value as consumer demand continues to rise. The uniformity of crop varieties requires the development of F1 hybrids that can be generated through the formation of haploid plants. A method for producing haploid plant is by anther culture. Evaluation of anther culture can be done by counting the number of chloroplasts and the number of chromosomes in the regenerants. However, lilies yet obtained information on the correlation between the numbers of chloroplasts in stomatal guard cells with chromosome numbers. Therefore, the purpose of this research aimed to know the correlation between the number of chloroplasts and chromosomes and to determine ploidy level in the regenerants of lily from anther culture. This research was conducted at Tissue Culture Laboratory of Indonesian Ornamental Crops Research Institute (IOCRI), Cianjur from January to June 2016. There were 5 numbers of lilies regenerant from anther culture that evaluate for ploidy level test. Each number has four replications, each replication contained four bottles, and each bottle has three plantlets. The statistical analysis used statistical descriptive with average, standard error and correlation. The results showed, haploid plantlets were observed in 2015.1.1 plantlets from Longiflorum group with 26,67% while least number of haploid plantlets is found in 2015.S2.3 plantlets from Oriental group (11,11%). The method of anther culture is able to produce haploid plantlets but the success rate was low in Lilium sp. There were no correlation between the number of chloroplasts and chromosomes. Further studies related to the ploidy level of lilies from anther culture and the evaluation of chromosomes number by using flow cytometry requires to develop haploid plant of Lily.
