The 5-(2-phenylhydrazono)-3,3-dimethylcyclohexanone (PHDMC) is synthesized by reacting 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione with 2-phenylhydrazine. Synthesized PHDMC is polycrystalline with monoclinic space group, P2₁/a. Miller’s indices values for each diffraction peak in the X-ray diffraction spectrum are calculated. Thin films of PHDMC with different thickness values (0.83–1.247μm) are prepared by thermal evaporation technique and they exhibit amorphous structure. Different vibrational modes, observed in infrared spectra of the powder and thin films, were assigned to the molecular bonding structure of PHDMC compound. The optical properties of PHDMC thin films are investigated by measuring the optical transmittance and reflectance at the normal incidence of the light in the spectral range 200–2500nm. The refractive and absorption indices of the films are found to be independent of the film thickness …

In the current study C57BL/6J mice were injected intraperitoneally with Hg(2+) in the absence and presence of TCDD. After 6 and 24h the liver was harvested and the expression of Cyps was determined. In vitro, isolated hepatocytes were incubated with TCDD in the presence and absence of Hg(2+). At the in vivo level, Hg(2+) significantly decreased the TCDD-mediated induction of Cyps at 6h while potentiating their levels at 24h. In vitro, Hg(2+) significantly inhibited the TCDD-mediated induction of Cyp1a1 in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Interestingly, Hg(2+) increased the serum hemoglobin (Hb) levels in mice treated for 24h. Upon treatment of isolated hepatocytes with Hb alone, there was an increase in the AhR-dependent luciferase activity with a subsequent increase in Cyp1a1 protein and catalytic activity levels. Importantly, when hepatocytes were treated for 2h with Hg(2+) in the presence of TCDD, then the medium was replaced with new medium containing Hb, there was potentiation of the TCDD-mediated effect. In addition, Hg(2+) increased heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mRNA, which coincided with a decrease in the Cyp1a1 activity level. When the competitive HO-1 inhibitor, tin mesoporphyrin was applied to the hepatocytes there was a partial restoration of Hg(2+)-mediated inhibition of Cyp1a1 activity. In conclusion, we demonstrate for the first time that there is a differential modulation of the TCDD-mediated induction of Cyp1a1 by Hg(2+) in C57BL/6J mice livers and isolated hepatocytes. Moreover, this study implicates Hb as an in vivo specific modulator of Cyp1 family.

Toxocariasis masih menjadi masalah pada pedet dan merugikan secara ekonomi. Kecamatan Panjatan Kulonprogo memiliki populasi pedet yang besar dan memiliki masalah Toxocariasis juga. Penelitian ini bertujuan menyidik prevalensi dan mengidentifikasi faktor risiko infeksi Toxocarara vitulorum pada pedet di Panjatan Kulonprogo. Enam ratus enam puluh spesimen feses diambil dari pedet-pedet di 6 desa di kecamatan Panjatan dengan teknik rambang klaster. Faktor risiko yang diamati meliputi aspek manajemen, hospes, lingkungan dan manajemen kesehatan. Diagnosis laboratorium dilakukan dengan metode pengapungan air garam Fulleborne dan sistem penghitungan telur Mc Master. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat. Prevalensi infeksi Toxocara vitulorum sebesar 4, 7%. Beberapa faktor risiko yang berkaitan dengan Toxocariasis adalah asal-asal ternak (OR= 3), umur (OR= 2, 43), jenis pedet (OR= 2, 24), asal usul pedet (OR= 5, 85), sumber air minum (OR= 10) dan pedet yang dicampur dengan induk atau hewan lainnya (OR= 3, 0).

Toxocariasis has been a problem in calf and made some economic lost. Panjatan Kulonprogo has calves population which has toxocariasis problem too. This study conducted to investigate the prevalence and identified the risk factors of Toxocara vitulorum infection calves in Panjatan Kulonprogo. Six hundred and sixty faeces specimens were tahen from calves in six villages around Panjatan Kulonprogo by clustered random sampling teehniq the risk factors that were obtained in this study were management. Laboratory diagnostics were done by Fülleborne’ s salty wat

The individual toxic effects of aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhR) ligands such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) or heavy metals typified by mercury (Hg(2+)) has been previously demonstrated. However, little is known about the combined toxic effects of TCDD and Hg(2+)in vivo. Therefore, we examined the effect of exposure to Hg(2+) (2.5mg/kg) in the absence and presence of TCDD (15 μg/kg) on the AhR-regulated genes using C57Bl/6 mice. Hg(2+) alone did not affect kidney, lung, or heart Cyp1a1/1a2/1b1 mRNA levels. On the contrary, Hg(2+) alone significantly induced kidney Cyp1a1/1a2/1b1 and lung Cyp1b1 protein and catalytic activities. Hg(2+) also induced Nqo1, Gsta1, and HO-1 at the mRNA, protein, and activity levels in the kidney and heart but not in the lung. Upon co-exposure to Hg(2+) and TCDD, Hg(2+) significantly potentiated the TCDD-mediated induction of kidney and lung Cyp1a1/1a2/1b1 mRNA levels, while it decreased their kidney protein and catalytic activity and it increased their lung protein. In addition, Hg(2+) potentiated the TCDD-mediated induction of Nqo1, Gsta1, and HO-1 at mRNA, protein and activity levels in all tissues. The present study demonstrates that Hg(2+) modulates the constitutive and TCDD-induced AhR-regulated genes in a time-, tissue- and, AhR-regulated enzyme genes manner.
