    BACKGROUND: In Malaysia, the domestic water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) are classified into the swamp and the murrah buffaloes. Identification of these buffaloes is usually made via their phenotypic appearances. This study characterizes the subspecies of water buffaloes using karyotype, molecular and phylogenetic analyses. Blood of 105 buffaloes, phenotypically identified as swamp, murrah and crossbred buffaloes were cultured, terminated and harvested using conventional karyotype protocol to determine the number of chromosomes. Then, the D-loop of mitochondrial DNA of 10 swamp, 6 crossbred and 4 murrah buffaloes which were identified earlier by karyotyping were used to construct a phylogenetic tree was constructed.

    RESULTS: Karyotypic analysis confirmed that all 93 animals phenotypically identified as swamp buffaloes with 48 chromosomes, all 7 as crossbreds with 49 chromosomes, and all 5 as murrah buffaloes with 50 chromosomes. The D-loop of mitochondrial DNA analysis showed that 10 haplotypes were observed with haplotype diversity of 0.8000 ± 0.089. Sequence characterization revealed 72 variables sites in which 67 were parsimony informative sites with sequence diversity of 0.01906. The swamp and murrah buffaloes clearly formed 2 different clades in the phylogenetic tree, indicating clear maternal divergence from each other. The crossbreds were grouped within the swamp buffalo clade, indicating the dominant maternal swamp buffalo gene in the crossbreds.

    CONCLUSION: Thus, the karyotyping could be used to differentiate the water buffaloes while genotypic analysis could be used to characterize the water buffaloes and their crossbreds.

    (Kenaf fibre is a good reinforcement in fibre polymer composites due to its high strength
    and elastic modulus, high stiffness, low density, low cost and eco-efficient, less health
    hazards, renewability, good mechanical and thermal properties, and biodegradability. It is
    traditionally used for rope, twine, fish net and sacking materials. Recently, it was observed
    that kenaf fibre had huge potentials to replacing synthetic fibre in composites due to the
    rising environmental and ecological issues, thus this awareness has motivated efforts for
    the advancement of new innovative bio-based composites incorporating kenaf fibre for
    various end-use structural applications. This paper presents an overview of the development
    made so far in the area of kenaf fibre and its composites in terms of chemical and microstructural
    properties, mechanical properties, dimensional stability, thermal stability, product
    development and application. Some fundamental issues and suggestions for further research
    in this area are also discussed.

    Zainudin MH, Mustapha NA, Maeda T, Ramli N, Sakai K, Hassan M
    Waste Manag, 2020 Apr 01;106:240-249.
    PMID: 32240940 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2020.03.029
    Biochar has proven to be a feasible additive for mitigating nitrogen loss during the composting process. This study aims to evaluate the influence of biochar addition on bacterial community and physicochemical properties changes, including ammonium (NH4+), nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-) contents during the composting of poultry manure. The composting was carried out by adding 20% (w/w) of biochar into the mixture of poultry manure and rice straw with a ratio of 2:1, and the same treatment without biochar was prepared as a control. The finished product of control compost recorded the high contents of NO2- and NO3- (366 mg/kg and 600 mg/kg) with reduced the total NH4+ content to 10 mg/kg. Meanwhile, biochar compost recorded a higher amount of total NH4+ content (110 mg/kg) with low NO2- and NO3- (161 mg/kg and 137 mg/kg) content in the final composting material. The principal component analysis showed that the dynamics of dominant genera related to Halomonas, Pusillimonas, and Pseudofulvimonas, all of which were known as nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, was significantly correlated with the dynamic of NO2- and NO3- content throughout the composting process. The genera related to Pusillimonas, and Pseudofulvimonas appeared as the dominant communities as the NO2- and NO3- increased. In contrast, as the NO2- and NO3- concentration decreased, the Halomonas genus were notably enriched in biochar compost. This study revealed the bacterial community shifts corresponded with the change of physicochemical properties, which provides essential information for a better understanding of monitoring and improving the composting process.

    Siti Marjiana Ismail, Chua KH, Amilia Aminuddin, Azizah Ugusman
    Sains Malaysiana, 2018;47:2359-2368.
    Piper sarmentosum (PS) is an herb with various medicinal properties. The antioxidant activity of PS contributes to many
    of its pharmacological effects such as anti-hypertension, anti-cancer and anti-diabetes. This systematic review provides
    information regarding the antioxidant activity of PS. The review was conducted systematically to identify relevant published
    articles on the antioxidant activity of PS. The collected data was based on the searched articles through PubMed, Science
    Direct and Scopus databases between the years 1946 until March 2018. Only articles written in English and related
    to antioxidant activity of PS were included in this review. Based on the literature searched, 130 potential articles were
    identified and 19 articles met the inclusion criteria. Ten studies related to chemical assays, five studies combined in vivo
    animal and chemical assays, three studies combined chemical assays and in vitro studies and a single study combined
    chemical assay, in vitro and in vivo studies were included in this review. All studies showed positive effects of PS against
    oxidation, indicating the potential of PS as a source of natural antioxidant.

  6. Heavy metals content in paraphilometroides nemipteri from south China sea may influence level of glutathione and p38 protein expression
    Sains Malaysiana, 2018;47:1393-1400.
    Numerous studies have shown that parasites potentially become bio-accumulators for heavy metals. The heavy metals
    content in parasite-infected fish was reported to be lower compared to the parasite non-infected fish. Evaluation of heavy
    metal content in Nemipterus peronii and Paraphilometroides nemipteri was performed using ICP-OES. Our result has
    shown that arsenic was the most abundance heavy metal content in muscle N. peronii and P. nemipteri, suggesting that
    the parasite has the ability to accumulate heavy metals. Heavy metals were reported to induce oxidative stress where
    glutathione and p38 protein may be involved. Thus, expression of the p38 protein was determined using western blot
    technique and glutathione content was measured fluorometrically. The p38 expression in P. nemipteri of Pulau Kambing
    was higher compared to P. nemipteri of Besut has shown that the parasite may exposed to stress. Glutathione content
    showed no significant changes due to detoxification mechanism occurred in the parasite. In this study, we could conclude
    that P. nemipteri could be a bio-accumulator, whereas p38 protein and glutathione as indicator of stress level in the
    parasite that exposed to the heavy metals.

  7. Plants mentioned in the Islamic Scriptures (Holy Qur'ân and Ahadith): Traditional uses and medicinal importance in contemporary times
    El-Seedi HR, Khalifa SAM, Yosri N, Khatib A, Chen L, Saeed A, et al.
    J Ethnopharmacol, 2019 Oct 28;243:112007.
    PMID: 31170516 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2019.112007
    ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Over the past thousand years, Islamic physicians have collected cultural, philosophical, sociological and historical backgrounds for understanding diseases and medications. The Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH) said: "There is no disease that Allah has created, except that Allah also has created its cure." Therefore, Islamic scholars are encouraged to explore and use both traditional and modern forms of medicine.

    AIM OF THE STUDY: (1) To identify some of the medicinal plants mentioned in the Holy Qur'ân and Ahadith textbooks of the period 700-1500 AD; (2) to compare them with presently used traditional medicines; (3) to evaluate their value based on modern research; and (4) to investigate the contributions of Islamic scholars to the development of the scientific branches, particularly medicine.

    MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature search was performed relating to 12 medicinal plants mentioned in the Holy Qur'ân and Ahadith using textbooks, Al-Azhar scholars, published articles, the plant list website (http://www.theplantlist.org/), the medicinal plant names services website (http://mpns.kew.org/mpns-portal/) and web databases (PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar).

    RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The Islamic Golden Age was a step towards modern medicine, with unique insights and multi-disciplinary aspects. Traditional Islamic Medicine has had a significant impact on the development of various medical, scientific and educational activities. Innumerable Muslim and non-Muslim physicians have built on the strong foundation of Traditional Islamic Medicine by translating the described natural remedies and effects. The influences of different ancient cultures on the traditional uses of natural products were also documented in Islamic Scriptures in the last part of the second millennium. The divine teachings of Islam combine natural and practical healing and incorporate inherited science and technology.

    CONCLUSION: In this review, we discuss Traditional Islamic Medicine with reference to both medical recommendations mentioned in the Holy Qur'ân and Prophetic Traditional Medicine (al-Tibb al-Nabawi). Although the molecular mechanisms and functions of some of the listed medicinal plants and their derivatives have been intensively studied, some traditional remedies have yet to be translated into clinical applications.

    Nur-Atiqah Jalaludin, Salmah Yaakop, Faszly Rahim
    Sains Malaysiana, 2018;47:1961-1967.
    Termites are found in various habitats, particularly diverse communities occurring in tropical forest and peatlands.
    Termites are beneficial insects, which function as soil engineers, improving the soil quality. However, in peatlands
    converted to commercial oil palm plantations, they are considered as pests. There is lack of studies on termite communities
    in converted peatlands in Peninsular Malaysia. Thus, this study investigated termite species associated with oil palm
    stands in three soil types (clay, shallow peat and deep peat) in Endau Rompin Plantation. The stand scouting method
    was used to record the numbers and types of termites associated with palm trees in the individual stands on different
    soil types. A total of 29 termite species associated with the palm stands were identified morphologically. All the species
    belonged to the families Rhinotermitidae and Termitidae. Twenty-three of the 29 species were found in the shallow peat,
    16 in clay soil and 15 in deep peat. The community structure was synthesized by two-way cluster analysis with Sorensen
    (Bray Curtis) distance measure. Five termite groups associated with two soil types (clay soil and shallow/deep peat)
    were generated. Moisture levels and organic content were likely to determine the presence of soil feeders identified in
    the presence study. This study provides information on the status of termite species in oil palm plantation areas. Such
    information may be useful in future planning strategies by the plantation management.

    Rupani PF, Alkarkhi AFM, Shahadat M, Embrandiri A, El-Mesery HS, Wang H, et al.
    Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2019 06 13;16(12).
    PMID: 31200470 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16122092
    The present study reports mathematical modelling of palm oil mill effluent and palm-pressed fiber mixtures (0% to 100%) during vermicomposting process. The effects of different mixtures with respect to pH, C:N ratio and earthworms have been optimized using the modelling parameters. The results of analysis of variance have established effect of different mixtures of palm oil mill effluent plus palm press fiber and time, under selected physicochemical responses (pH, C:N ratio and earthworm numbers). Among all mixtures, 60% mixture was achieved optimal growth at pH 7.1 using 16.29 C:N ratio in 15 days of vermicomposting. The relationship between responses, time and different palm oil mill waste mixtures have been summarized in terms of regression models. The obtained results of mathematical modeling suggest that these findings have potential to serve a platform for further studies in terms of kinetic behavior and degradation of the biowastes via vermicomposting.

  11. pH as analytical indicator for managing pork meat quality
    Kim TW, Kim CW, Kwon SG, Hwang JH, Park DH, Kang DG, et al.
    Sains Malaysiana, 2016;45:1097-1103.
    In order to examine differences of meat quality traits depending on pH values post-mortem, the pH range was classified
    according to initial pH (pH45min) and ultimate pH (pH24hr) post-mortem. The differences of meat quality traits depending
    on sex were not changed by a number of amount, except for backfat thickness and fat content. The value of pH45min was
    positively correlated with pHdif, whereas pH24hr was negatively associated with lightness (CIE L*) and protein content. At
    pH45min post-slaughter, collagen content, fat content, shear force, water holding capacity and yellowness (CIE b*) showed
    lower values at the higher pH range of pH>6.7 than those of other ranges, but CIE L* and redness (CIE a*) presented
    the lowest value at the intermediate pH range of pH6.3~6.7. Conversely, at pH24hr post-slaughter, fat and moisture
    contents maintained the highest average values at the higher pH range of pH>6.1, but protein content showed higher
    value at the lower pH range of pH<5.7. Higher pH24hr appeared significantly lower shear force, but higher water holding
    capacity. CIE L*, a*, and b* values showed significantly higher values at the lowest region of pH24hr. Since meat quality
    characteristics seemed to be favored by consumers in rather than at the range of pH5.7~6.1, which showed significant
    differences of meat color, appearance, and meat juiciness, it is suggested that production of pork meat to appropriate
    pH value is performed by pig breeders and control measures taken during pre- and post-slaughters.

  12. Trend of meiobenthos density and composition in Karah Island, South China Sea
    Zaleha K, Nasiratul_shahida MN, Siang HY, Kamaruzzaman BY
    Sains Malaysiana, 2016;45:1019-1024.
    Meiobenthos in Bidong Archipelago in coastal water of the South China Sea is hypothesised to have a certain trend of
    distribution particularly in the island ecosystem where it is usually having different type of sea bottom. Nonetheless, since
    it is located in a tropical area, the trend at the sub-tidal could be less obvious due to absent of clear season. Meiobenthic
    sampling was carried out in Karah Island, an island in Bidong Archipelago, from the intertidal, towards the sub-tidal
    zone covering the coral and non-coral area to see the trend in the density and composition. A transparent hand core
    was used to collect benthos samples. Nematoda and harpacticoid copepods dominated the intertidal and sub-tidal zone
    respectively. Harpacticoid copepods were higher in density in the non-coral sediment than the coral area. This could be
    due to the high content of silt and clay in the coral area (2.98% of silt and clay). The 2-dimension MDS analysis on the
    density data indicated the highest degree of scattering and an over-lapping condition for those intertidal and sub-tidal
    samples respectively. ANOSIM result showed that the degree of similarity was lower at the intertidal (70%) than the subtidal
    (reaching 90%) in the first sampling before both became no significant different in the second sampling. It could
    indicate the stable condition in the subtidal than the intertidal ecosystem. The comparatively low density of meiobenthos
    could indicate their response towards the environmental condition in the area which will only be confirmed by long term
    ecological study.

  13. Individuality in the songs of wild agile gibbons (Hylobates agilis) of Peninsular Malaysia
    Haimoff EH, Gittins SP
    Am J Primatol, 1985;8(3):239-247.
    PMID: 31986812 DOI: 10.1002/ajp.1350080306
    Recordings were made and analyzed of the female dominated duet songs by eight adult pairs of wild agile gibbons from two sites in Peninsular Malaysia. A statistical analysis of their songs revealed that individuality occurred throughout the females' songs from both sites. Individuality in gibbon songs may allow singing individuals to more efficiently and effectively locate and identify neighboring nonmate conspecifics.

  15. Integrated farming system producing zero emissions and sustainable livelihood for small-scale cattle farms: Case study in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
    Thanh Hai L, Tran QB, Tra VT, Nguyen TPT, Le TN, Schnitzer H, et al.
    Environ Pollut, 2020 Oct;265(Pt B):114853.
    PMID: 32480006 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114853
    This study proposes an integrated cattle breeding and cultivation system that provides zero emission and sustainable livelihood for the community in rural areas. The proposed integrated farming system improves agricultural productivity and environmental and sanitation conditions, minimizes the amount of waste, and increases the family income up to 41.55%. Several waste types can be recycled and transformed into valuable products, such as energy for cooking, organic fertilizer for crops, and cattle feed for breeding. Wastewater effluent from the biogas tank can be treated by biochar and results show that it then meets the standards for irrigation purposes. Also, the waste flow from cattle breeding supplies enough nutrients to cultivate plants, and the plants grown supply are adequate food for the 30 cows living on the farm. This research shows that the use of an integrated farming system could achieve zero-emission goal. Thereby, it provides a sustainable livelihood for cattle breeding family farms. The proposed integrated cattle breeding and cultivation system improves agricultural productivity, environmental and increases the farmer income up to 41.55%.

  16. Acute Lung Injury: Disease Modelling and the Therapeutic Potential of Stem Cells
    Lian J, Lin J, Zakaria N, Yahaya BH
    Adv Exp Med Biol, 2020;1298:149-166.
    PMID: 32424492 DOI: 10.1007/5584_2020_538
    Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe clinical condition with high morbidity and mortality that usually results in the development of multiple organ dysfunction. The complex pathophysiology of ALI seems to provide a wide range of targets that offer numerous therapeutic options. However, despite extensive studies of ALI pathophysiology and treatment, no effective pharmacotherapy is available. Increasing evidence from both preclinical and clinical studies supports the preventive and therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for treating ALI. As cell-based therapy poses the risk of occlusion in microvasculature or unregulated growth, MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have been extensively studied as a new therapeutic strategy for non-cell based therapy. It is widely accepted that the therapeutic properties of MSCs are derived from soluble factors with paracrine or endocrine effects, and EVs are among the most important paracrine or endocrine vehicles that can deliver various soluble factors with a similar phenotype as the parent cell. Therapeutic effects of MSCs have been reported for various delivery approaches, diverse doses, multiple origins, and different times of administration, and MSC-EVs treatment may include but is not limited to these choices. The mechanisms by which MSCs and MSC-EVs may contribute to ALI treatment remain elusive and need further exploration. This review provides an overview of preclinical studies that support the application of MSC-EVs for treating ALI, and it discusses emerging opportunities and their associated challenges.

  18. Constraints on the χ_{c1} versus χ_{c2} Polarizations in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=8  TeV
    Sirunyan AM, Tumasyan A, Adam W, Ambrogi F, Bergauer T, Dragicevic M, et al.
    Phys Rev Lett, 2020 Apr 24;124(16):162002.
    PMID: 32383915 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.124.162002
    The polarizations of promptly produced χ_{c1} and χ_{c2} mesons are studied using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=8  TeV. The χ_{c} states are reconstructed via their radiative decays χ_{c}→J/ψγ, with the photons being measured through conversions to e^{+}e^{-}, which allows the two states to be well resolved. The polarizations are measured in the helicity frame, through the analysis of the χ_{c2} to χ_{c1} yield ratio as a function of the polar or azimuthal angle of the positive muon emitted in the J/ψ→μ^{+}μ^{-} decay, in three bins of J/ψ transverse momentum. While no differences are seen between the two states in terms of azimuthal decay angle distributions, they are observed to have significantly different polar anisotropies. The measurement favors a scenario where at least one of the two states is strongly polarized along the helicity quantization axis, in agreement with nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics predictions. This is the first measurement of significantly polarized quarkonia produced at high transverse momentum.

  19. Fulltext Physico-Chemical Characteristics and Microbiological Quality of Broiler Chicken Pectoralis major Muscle Subjected to Different Storage Temperature and Duration
    Ab Aziz MF, Hayat MN, Kaka U, Kamarulzaman NH, Sazili AQ
    Foods, 2020 Jun 04;9(6).
    PMID: 32512753 DOI: 10.3390/foods9060741
    Storage temperature and duration plays an important role in meat processing. Observations in poultry processing plants have shown a serious deviation in storage condition compared to the recommended procedures. Furthermore, there is still a paucity of evidence on the effects of storage temperature and duration on meat quality and microbial population. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different temperature and duration during storage on physico-chemical properties and microbiological quality of broiler chicken Pectoralis major muscle. Eighty birds were slaughtered and processed, following which the packed boneless breast (PBB) (each bird was to provide two breast muscle samples; left breast and right breast) was divided into four groups, each consisted of 40 PBB. Each group was subsequently assigned to storage either at 4 °C, -10 °C, -18 °C or -40 °C, for 24 h before 20 PBB samples from each group were transported to the respective laboratory for meat quality and microbiological analysis. The remaining 20 PBB from each storage temperature were stored for 72 h before being transported for analysis. Results have shown significant increases in drip loss and cooking loss as the storage temperature decreases. Similarly, storage duration significantly affected cooking loss, of which, samples stored for 72 h exhibited higher cooking loss compared to those stored for 24 h. For color, significant differences were only observed in lightness (L*) and redness (a*) values. Longer duration of storage had significantly improved tenderness whereby, samples that have been stored for a shorter duration presented higher pH values. Populations of coliform and Salmonella decreased significantly with decreasing temperature and increasing storage duration.

    Morphism refer to polymorphic species, in which multiple colour variants coexist within a population. Morphism in primates is common and langurs also exhibit certain characteristics of morphism, such as conspicuous natal coats. Banded langurs (Presbytis femoralis) and dusky leaf monkey (Trachypithecus obscurus) exhibits the same characteristics of conspicuous natal coats, but these coats are only limited to infants and changed when they reached adulthood. This article reports the first discovery of rare brown morph of two adult male banded langurs and one leucistic adult female dusky leaf monkey in Malaysia. We also conducted a systematic literature search to review the diversity of morphism in leaf monkey globally.
