The study was aimed at assessing the genetic variation and relatedness among four Capsicum varieties through electrophoretic separation of their leaf and seed proteins by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Total seed and leaf proteins were extracted and separated on 12% polyacrylamide gels using standard protocols. Distinct polymorphism in electrophoretic banding patterns of seed and leaf proteins was observed in the four Capsicum varieties through a total of thirty-eight (38) polypeptide bands in the seeds and a total of seventeen (17) polypeptide bands in the leaves analyzed. Variation existed not only in the number of bands but also in the intensity of bands in both the leaf and seed samples studied. Sokal and Sneath's coefficient of similarity revealed a generally high level of similarity in the seed protein bands of the four varieties studied ranging from 50% to 100%. It also revealed an average level of similarity in the leaf protein bands of the four varieties of Capsicum studied ranging from 16.7% to 83.3%. A dendrogram constructed based on the Single Linkage Cluster Analysis(SCLA) using the relative mobility values of seed and leaf proteins of the four varieties revealed two major clusters. From the seed, cluster 1 contains (C. annuum var. abbreviatum and C. annuum var. acuminatum), and cluster 2(C. annuum var. grossum, and C.frutescens var.baccatum). Also, two prominent clusters were revealed in the leaf sample, with cluster 1 containing (C. annuum var. abbreviatum, C. annuum var. acuminatum and C.frutescens var.baccatum) and cluster 2(C. annuum var. grossum). Significance of the findings has been discussed. Plant breeders can use the information on variation and relatedness among the Capsicum species for cultivar development in pepper.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of autologous pericardium applied to pulmonary artery banding in a swine model.Methods In a swine model,pulmonary artery stenosis was created by autologous pericardium which made the left pulmonary artery banded to 30％-40％ of its original diameter.Animals underwent right heart catheterization and angiography 4 weeks postoperatively,and balloon-expandable'stents were implanted through right ventricular outflow tract.The animals were sacrificed at 12th week following stenting and microscopic evaluation for histologic changes was made.Results Pulmonary artery banding was performed on 8 swines.The lumen diameter was decreased from (16.0 ± 0.4) mm to (6.4 ± 0.2 )mm ( P ＜ 0.01 ),while the gradient inereased from median (range) 0 mm Hg to 35 ( 18-52 )mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa,P ＜0.01 ) following banding.One month later,the models were all survived.Compared to the instant result after banding,there was no significant difference in the lumen diameter ( P ＞ 0.05) or the gradient (P ＞ 0.05),and there was no banding dislodged and also no animal with severe left pulmonary artery hypoplasia or atresia.Conclusion Autologous pericardium as a banding to create an experimental pulmonary artery stenosis model appears safe and effective. Key words: Autologous pericardium; Pulmonary artery stenosis

ABSTRACK Growth rates ( linear skeletal extension) and the timing of skeletal band formation were measured in eight specimens of the messive coral Porites Iutea at three sites (BK1, BK2, and BK3) and three depths, i.e. 1 m, 3 m, and 5 m in each site. The sites were located in Bontang Kuala Regency, located about 7.5 km from the fertilizing industry, PT. Pupuk Kaltim Tbk, Bontang. Growth rates were measured using two techniques, i.e. X-radiograph and UV-light. Result of the study indicates that the timing of the high density (HD) and low density (LD) bands is synchronous at the three locations. A one year growth is characterized by three HD bands, one of which is usually very dense. Illumination of the coral slabs by UV-light revealed a distinct fluorescent banding pattern on all coral specimens. The data indicatethat the fluorescent bands are usually associated with the high density bands which are accreted during the wet season period. It is characterized by the high of land run-off containing elevated concentrations of fulvic and humic acid compounds, and this apparently occurred almost through out the year. Comparisons of the skeletal extension rates indicate that the growth rates of P. Iutea are not significantly difference (p <0.05) euther between sites or depths. The average of coral growth rates ranged from 0.8-1.2 cm/year. However, the annual growth rate tends to be fluctuated. Likely it is varied with the amount of rainfall (p < 0.01), but it is no affected by the number of urea production (dust), fertilizing industry, PT. Pupuk Kaltim Tbk. Key Word : Coral growth rate, characterize of massive coral’s growth

The objective of the study was to evaluate the antioxidant response and DNA damage of heavy metals (Cd, Cu and Cr) in Elodea canadensis . Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), Glutathione reductase (GR) and lipid peroxidation levels of leaves of Elodea canadensis which was exposed to different concentrations of heavy metals (Cd; 2, 5, 10, 15, 25 ppb, Cu; 200, 500, 1000, 2500 ppb and Cr; 1, 3, 10, 15, 25 ppb.) in a hydroponic culture were determined spectrophotometrically. The highest induction in SOD and CAT activities were determined at highest concentration of heavy metals. The Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Polymerase Chain Reaction (RAPD-PCR) technique was used to investigate the variation of DNA banding patterns of samples that exposed to different concentrations of heavy metals. Changing in band intensity and the gain and loss of bands were demonstrated the genotoxic effect of heavy metals. Bioaccumulation, oxidative responses and DNA damages were shown that Elodea canadensis represents a useful bioindicator.

Extraordinary saving can be obtainef from an often forgotten design concept. The open-web expanded steel beam as usually call castellated steel beam has already paid substantial dividends for various engineering firm. It should be considerd and many more projects. The opening up of a rolled beam (I-section) increases its section modulus and moment inertia, result its greater strength and rigidity. The reduction in beam weight has a chain effect on saving throughout the structure. The result of numeric simulation using computer program SAP-2000 show that the load capacity of castellated steel increase 92,307% compared with its origin section, that is rolled beam or I sevtion steel beam. and the maximum deflection of castellated steel decrease 45.683% compared with its origin section, that is rolled beam or I section steel beam.

Human chromosome analysis is a major part of classic experimental teaching.As a fundamental technique for cytogenetic studies,it is markedly important to help medical students gain a vivid understanding of hereditary base of chromosomal disorders and relate chromosome aberration to biochemical,cellular,or clinical phenotype.The traditional karyotyping teaching involves a series of steps,including photographing the chromosomes from one cell,cutting them out of the photo and arranging them on a piece of paper based on their size,centromere location,and banding patterns,which is time-consuming and unappealing on the part of students.For better teaching results and learning experiences,a karyotyping software was developed via teacher-student cooperation for users of Microsoft Office System.As a result,the innovative design not only improves teaching methods,but also enhances interactive learning.Additionally,impartial assessment is guaranteed by running a particular program and checking the accuracy of chromosome arrangement.The software,which was piloted on a good number of students,received warm welcome.According to students' feedback,their interest was aroused and they were engaged in human chromosome analysis with no sign of boredom.In short,the application of karyotyping software can boost the quality of experimental teaching and lay a solid foundation for open course ware.

The impacts of low-disturbance manure application (LDMA) on runoff water quality in hay crop forages are not well known. Our objective in this study was to determine surface runoff losses of total nitrogen (TN), ammonium N (NH4 -N), nitrate N (NO3 -N), total phosphorus (TP), dissolved reactive P (DRP), and suspended sediment from alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)-grass plots in central Wisconsin after surface broadcasting manure and LDMA compared with no application. Treatments were (a) surface banding (BAND), (b) surface banding with aeration (A/B), (c) shallow disk injection (INJECT), (d) surface broadcast (BCAST), and (e) a no-manure control (CONT). Runoff events were generated (n=7) from replicated plots following a standardized rainfall simulation protocol. Although runoff was variable across plots and within treatments, mean runoff concentrations of TN (P=.03), NH4 -N (P=.03), TP (P=.001), and DRP (P<.0001) were lower for incorporated (INJECT and A/B) vs. unincorporated (BCAST and BAND) treatments. INJECT had lower mean DRP concentration (P=.02) than A/B and was similar to CONT and had lower cumulative TN (P=.05), TP (P=.07), and DRP (P=.01) loads than A/B. Additionally, TP, TN, DRP, and NH4 -N loads and concentrations were strongly related with soil surface manure coverage extent (R2 = 0.50-0.84; P<.0001), suggesting that manure was a main source of N and P losses. Although INJECT appeared to be the most effective in mitigating nutrient loss in surface runoff, more research is needed to determine LDMA impacts on farm economics, soil properties, and runoff water quality.
