1.	CHANGES IN ANTHROPOMETRIC, BODY COMPOSITION, CLINICAL PARAMETERS, BIOCHEMICAL PROFILES, AND BIOMARKERS CONCENTRATION OF SUBCLINICAL ATHEROSCLEROSIS OF THE EBN INTERVENTION AMONG PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN: A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL DESCRIPTION : Introduction: The menopausal transition is an important physiological stage in the lives of women that is associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Objective: This study aimed to describe changes in anthropometric measurements, body composition, clinical parameters, biochemical profiles, biomarker concentration, and carotid ultrasound to address risk factors for subclinical atherosclerosis disease among premenopausal women with borderline hypercholesterolemia before and after intervention. This was a 12-week randomized control trial comparing an intervention with an edible bird nest with a control. Subjects: The study involved 39 premenopausal women 40-55 years of age who, following inclusion and exclusion criteria, were allocated into two groups, an intervention group consuming one (1) pouch (250 g) of edible bird nest mix (EBN) daily for 12 weeks (between days 84 and 90 days from day 1 of menses) and the control group consuming the same weight, texture and taste of the placebo. Main outcome measures: Assessment before and after inclusion of the anthropometric status parameters [weight, height, body mass index, hip, waist to hip ratio (WHR), body composition (body fat, body age, whole body skeletal, trunk skeletal, arm skeletal, leg skeletal, total body subcutaneous, trunk subcutaneous, arm subcutaneous, leg subcutaneous, visceral fat), clinical parameters (blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), thickness of the carotid intima, biochemical profiles (lipid profile, lasting blood glucose), biomarker concentrations (APO AI, APO AII, APO B, APO CII, APO CIII, APO E). This study showed that the EBN intervention for premenopausal women with mild hypercholesterolemia resulted in slightly beneficial changes in anthropometric measurement, body composition, clinical parameters, and biomarker concentration associated with cardiovascular risk in older women. These findings present a potential for the use of EBN in individuals with borderline hypercholesterolemia to provide cholesterol lowering benefit based on an animal-based diet strategy that can improve overall health outcomes when reaching menopausal age.

4.	EFFECT OF DIFFERENT DRYING TREATMENTS AND SOLVENT RATIOS ON PHYTOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF IPOMOEA AQUATICA AND CORRELATION WITH Α-GLUCOSIDASE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION : Ipomoea aquatica is an aquatic plant that is widely consumed in Southeast Asia as a vegetable. In this study, the influence of various ethanol ratios (0, 20, 50, 80, and 100%) as an extraction solvent and different drying methods including air drying (AD), sun drying (SD) and oven drying (OD) on phytochemical constituents of I. aquatica was investigated using a proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) based metabolomics approach. The effect on α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and total phenolic content (TPC) was also examined. Clear discrimination was observed between different ethanol ratios and different drying processes by principal component analysis (PCA). The highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was observed for absolute ethanol extract from the OD method with IC50 value of 204.0 ± 59.0 µg/mL and TPC value of 22.0 ± 0.7 µg GAE/mg extract. Correlation between the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and the metabolite were analyzed using a partial least square (PLS) analysis. The metabolites that are responsible for the activity were quercetin derivatives, chlorogenic acid derivatives, sucrose and fructose. This study highlights the basis for future investigations of I. aquatica as a source of food that has the potential for nutraceutical enhancement and as ingredient in medicinal preparation.

7.	DATA FROM: CRYPTIC SPECIATION YIELDS REMARKABLE MIMICS: A NEW GENUS OF SEA SLUGS THAT MASQUERADE AS TOXIC ALGAE (CAULERPA SPP.) DESCRIPTION : "Cryptic" can refer to species that match their background through camouflage or disruptive coloration, or in taxonomy to externally similar but unrecognized congeners. In adaptive resemblance, organisms resemble parts of a larger host animal or plant on which the mimic is highly cryptic. Mimetic lineages that radiate onto superficially similar hosts may contain cryptic species in both senses: taxa that are difficult to detect, and challenging for taxonomists to distinguish. Here, we describe a new genus and four species of herbivorous sea slugs (Gastropoda, Heterobranchia, Sacoglossa), including remarkable mimics of toxic green algae (Caulerpa spp.) on which the slugs feed. The long-recognized Stiliger smaragdinus Baba 1949 is highly mimetic of 'sea grapes' (C. racemosa-lentilifera), but phylogenetic analyses of four genes indicated Stiliger was polyphyletic: the name-bearing species grouped within Placida, whereas Caulerpa-mimetic lineages were phylogenetically distinct. We erect the genus Sacoproteus gen. n. for S. smaragdinus (Baba 1949), and describe four new species: S. nishae sp. n. from the Indo-Pacific, which mimics C. chemnitzia; S. yhiae sp. n. and S. browni sp. n. from southern Australia, which mimic C. cactoides and C. gemminata; and S. thomasleei sp. n., a non-mimetic west Pacific species that shared key features. Stiliger s.s. and Placida species show crypsis and aposematism but not host mimicry, although Stiliger spp. feeding on undefended algae may be Batesian mimics. Investigating the ecology and biogeography of Sacoproteus gen. n. will yield insight into how selection generates such extraordinary examples of adaptive resemblance in the marine realm.

DATA FROM: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND BONDING QUALITY OF LAMINATED VENEER LUMBER PRODUCED WITH VENEERS PEELED FROM SMALL-DIAMETER RUBBERWOOD LOG DESCRIPTION : The peeling of small diameter rubber logs from the current short-rotation practices, undoubtedly will produced lower-grade veneers compared to the veneers from the conventional planting rotation. Hence, this raises the question of the properties of the produced laminated veneer lumber (LVL) from veneers peeled from small diameter rubber logs using spindleless lathe technology. Different thickness of rubberwood veneers were peeled from rubber logs with diameter less than 20 cm using spindleless lathe. Three layer LVLs were prepared using phenol formaldehyde (PF) adhesive and hot pressed at different temperature. During the peeling of veneer, lathe checks as deep as 30 to 60% of the veneer thickness are formed. This study showed that deep lathe check of 3 mm rubberwood veneer significantly reduced the gluebond shear strength of PF bonded LVL. In addition, lathe checks frequency were also shown to influence bond strengths. The presence of higher lathe check frequency on 2 mm veneer increased the wettability, thus, facilitated optimum penetration of adhesive for stronger bonding. These findings stress the importance of measuring and considering the lathe check depth and frequency during lamination process to get a better understanding of bonding quality in veneer-based products.

9.	ASSOCIATION OF SOIL FUNGAL COMMUNITY COMPOSITION WITH INCIDENCE OF FUSARIUM WILT OF BANANA IN MALAYSIA DESCRIPTION : Banana (Musa spp.), an important food crop in many parts of the world, is threatened by a deadly wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4). Increasing evidence indicates that plant actively recruits beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere to suppress soil-borne pathogens. Hence, studies on the composition and diversity of the root-associated microbial communities are important for banana health. Research on beneficial microbial communities has focused on bacteria, although fungi can also influence soil-borne disease. Here, high-throughput sequencing targeting the fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) was employed to systematically characterize the difference in the soil fungal community associated with Fusarium wilt (FW) of banana. The community structure of fungi in the healthy and TR4-infected rhizospheres was significantly different compared with that of bulk soil within the same farm. The rhizosphere soils of infected plants exhibited higher richness and diversity compared with healthy plants, with significant abundance of Fusarium genus at 14%. In the healthy rhizosphere soil, Penicillium spp. were more abundant at 7% and positively correlated with magnesium. This study produced a detailed description of fungal community structure in healthy and TR4-infected banana soils in Malaysia and identified candidate biomarker taxa that may be associated with FW disease promotion and suppression. The findings also expand the global inventory of fungal communities associated with the components of asymptomatic and symptomatic banana plants infected by TR4.

11.	DATA FROM: TRAVELLING WAVE PULSE COUPLED OSCILLATOR (TWPCO) USING A SELF-ORGANIZING SCHEME FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS DESCRIPTION : Recently, Pulse Coupled Oscillator (PCO)-based travelling waves have attracted substantial attention by researchers in wireless sensor network (WSN) synchronization. Because WSNs are generally artificial occurrences that mimic natural phenomena, the PCO utilizes firefly synchronization of attracting mating partners for modelling the WSN. However, given that sensor nodes are unable to receive messages while transmitting data packets (due to deafness), the PCO model may not be efficient for sensor network modelling. To overcome this limitation, the current study proposed a new scheme called the Travelling Wave Pulse Coupled Oscillator (TWPCO). For this, the study used a self-organizing scheme for energy-efficient WSNs that adopted travelling wave biologically inspired network systems based on phase locking of the PCO model to counteract deafness. From the simulation, it was found that the proposed TWPCO scheme attained a steady state after a number of cycles. It also showed superior performance compared to other mechanisms, with a reduction in the total energy consumption of 25 %. The results showed that the performance improved by 13 % in terms of data gathering. Based on the results, the proposed scheme avoids the deafness that occurs in the transmit state in WSNs and increases the data collection throughout the transmission states in WSNs CONTRIBUTOR : ZURIATI BINTI AHMAD ZUKARNAIN (11/05/2023 18:23 PM) FACULTY : FAKULTI PERTANIAN PUBLICATION : 0 ; FILE IN : HDFS HAS VIEWS : 1943 ; FOLDER IN PROJECT : 1 ; FILE IN PROJECT : 1 ; DOWNLOAD : 0 ; KEYWORD : [Travelling Wave Pulse Coupled Oscillator] , [ wireless sensor network]

13.	PERCEPTION OF MALAYSIAN HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL TOWARDS FAMILY MEDICINE SPECIALISTS DESCRIPTION : Perception of healthcare providers who worked with family medicine specialists (FMSs) could translate into the effectiveness of primary healthcare delivery in daily practices. This study examined perceptions of public healthcare providers/professionals (PHCPs) on FMSs at public health clinics throughout Malaysia. This was a cross-sectional study in 2012-2013 using postal method targeting PHCPs from three categories of health facilities, namely health clinics, health offices and hospitals. A structured questionnaire was developed to assess PHCP's perception of FMS's clinical competency, safety practice, ethical and professional values, and research involvement. It consists of 37 items with Likert scale of strongly disagree (a score of 1) to strongly agree (a score of 5). Interaction and independent effect of the independent variables were tested and adjusted means score were reported. The participants' response rate was 58.0% (780/1345) with almost equal proportion from each of the three public healthcare facilities. There were more positive perceptions than negative among the PHCPs. FMSs were perceived to provide effective and safe treatment to their patients equally disregards of patient's social background. However, there were some concerns of FMSs not doing home visits, not seeing walk-in patients, had long appointment time, not active in scientific research, writing and publication. There were significant differences in perception based on a respondent's health care facility (p < 0.0001) and frequency of encounter (p < 0.0001). PHCPs had overall positive perceptions on FMSs across all the domains investigated. PHCPs from different health care facilities and frequency of encounter with FMSs had different perception. Practicing FMSs could improve on the critical service areas that were perceived to be important but lacking. FMSs might need further support in conducting research and writing for publication.

DATA FOR URBAN AND RURAL PREFERENCES TOWARDS WETLAND CONSERVATION USING SUBSIDY REDUCTION AS PAYMENT VEHICLE DESCRIPTION : The preferences for wetland conservation among urban and rural dwellers in Malaysia estimated using a choice experiment. Wetland conservation alternatives were described in terms of environmental protection zones, biodiversity protection, recreational services and flood. Each alternative was connected to a cost for the household, which was a reduction in subsidies for daily goods. Using a latent class model, three groups were identified with distinctly different preferences. The results indicated potential conflicts over wetland conservation impacts and targets. Accordingly, the divide in preferences should be taken into account in policy-making, and the insights provided here may inform efforts to avoid conflict across the population.

16.	RNA-SEQUENCING OF LYMPH, SPLEEN, AND THYMUS TRANSCRIPTOME OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA M. FASCICULARIS DESCRIPTION : The cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is an extensively utilised nonhuman primate model for biomedical research due to its biological, behavioural, and genetic similarities to humans. Genomic information of cynomolgus macaque is vital for research in various fields; however, there is presently a shortage of genomic information on the Malaysian cynomolgus macaque. This study aimed to sequence, assemble, annotate, and profile the Peninsular Malaysian cynomolgus macaque transcriptome derived from three tissues (lymph node, spleen, and thymus) using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology. A total of 174,208,078 paired end 70 base pair sequencing reads were obtained from the Illumina Hi-Seq 2500 sequencer. The overall mapping percentage of the sequencing reads to the M. fascicularis reference genome ranged from 53-63%. Categorisation of expressed genes to Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway categories revealed that GO terms with the highest number of associated expressed genes include Cellular process, Catalytic activity, and Cell part, while for pathway categorisation, the majority of expressed genes in lymph node, spleen, and thymus fall under the Global overview and maps pathway category, while 266, 221, and 138 genes from lymph node, spleen, and thymus were respectively enriched in the Immune system category. Enriched Immune system pathways include Platelet activation pathway, Antigen processing and presentation, B cell receptor signalling pathway, and Intestinal immune network for IgA production. Differential gene expression analysis among the three tissues revealed 574 differentially expressed genes (DEG) between lymph and spleen, 5402 DEGs between lymph and thymus, and 7008 DEGs between spleen and thymus. Venn diagram analysis of expressed genes revealed a total of 2,630, 253, and 279 tissue-specific genes respectively for lymph node, spleen, and thymus tissues. This is the first time the lymph node, spleen, and thymus transcriptome of the Peninsular Malaysian cynomolgus macaque have been sequenced via RNA-Seq. Novel transcriptomic data will further enrich the present M. fascicularis genomic database and provide future research potentials, including novel transcript discovery, comparative studies, and molecular markers development.

18.	FLORAL MICROMORPHOLOGY AND TRANSCRIPTOME ANALYSES OF A FRAGRANT VANDACEOUS ORCHID, VANDA MIMI PALMER, FOR ITS FRAGRANCE PRODUCTION SITES DESCRIPTION : Vanda Mimi Palmer (VMP) is commercially valuable for its strong fragrance but little is known regarding the fragrance production and emission sites on the flowers. Results Olfactory perception detected fragrance only from the petals and sepals. Light and Environmental Scanning Electron microscopy analyses on fresh tissues showed distributions of stomata and trichomes concentrated mostly around the edges. These results paralleled the rich starch deposits and intense neutral red stain, indicating strong fragrance and trichomes as potential main fragrance release sites. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) transcriptomic data of adaxial and abaxial layers of the tissues showed monoterpene synthase transcripts specifically linalool and ocimene synthases distributed throughout the tissues. qPCR analyses taken at different time points revealed high levels of linalool and ocimene synthases transcripts in the early morning with maximal level at 4.00 am but remained low throughout daylight hours. Conclusions Knowledge of the VMP floral anatomy and its fragrance production characteristics, which complemented our previous molecular and biochemical data on VMP, provided additional knowledge on how fragrance and flower morphology are closely intertwined. Further investigation on the mechanisms of fragrance biosynthesis and interaction of potential pollinators would elucidate the evolution of the flower morphology to maximize the reproduction success of this plant.

19.	MULTIPLE GENE TARGETING SIRNAS FOR DOWN REGULATION OF IMMEDIATE EARLY-2 (IE2) AND DNA POLYMERASE GENES MEDIATED INHIBITION OF NOVEL RAT CYTOMEGALOVIRUS (STRAIN ALL-03) DESCRIPTION : Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe complications in congenitally infected newborns and non-immunocompetent individuals. Developing an effective vaccine is a major public health priority and current drugs are fronting resistance and side effects on recipients. In the present study, with the aim of exploring new strategies to counteract CMV replication, several anti-CMV siRNAs targeting IE2 and DNA polymerase gene regions were characterized and used as in combinations for antiviral therapy. Methods The rat embryo fibroblast (REF) cells were transfected with multi siRNA before infecting with CMV strain ALL-03. Viral growth inhibition was measured by tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50), cytopathic effect (CPE) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) while IE2 and DNA polymerase gene knockdown was determined by real-time PCR. Ganciclovir was deployed as a control to benchmark the efficacy of antiviral activities of respective individual siRNAs. Results There was no significant cytotoxicity encountered for all the combinations of siRNAs on REF cells analyzed by MTT colorimetric assay (P > 0.05). Cytopathic effects (CPE) in cells infected by RCMV ALL-03 had developed significantly less and at much slower rate compared to control group. The expression of targeted genes was downregulated successfully resulted in significant reduction (P < 0.05) of viral mRNA and DNA copies (dpb + dpc: 79%, 68%; dpb + ie2b: 68%, 60%; dpb + dpc + ie2b: 48%, 42%). Flow cytometry analysis showed a greater percentage of viable and early apoptosis of combined siRNAs-treated cells compared to control group. Notably, the siRNAs targeting gene regions were sequenced and mutations were not encountered, thereby avoiding the formation of mutant with potential resistant viruses. Conclusions In conclusion. The study demonstrated a tremendous promise of innovative approach with the deployment of combined siRNAs targeting at several genes simultaneously with the aim to control CMV replication in host cells.

20.	COMBINATION OF VP3 AND CD147-KNOCKDOWN ENHANCE APOPTOSIS AND TUMOR GROWTH DELAY INDEX IN COLORECTAL TUMOR ALLOGRAFT DESCRIPTION : Cancer therapies that kill cancer cells without affecting normal cells is the ultimate mode of treating cancers. The VP3, an avian virus-derived protein, can specifically initiate cell death through several signal transduction pathways leading to apoptosis. In cancer, chemoresistance and cell survivability implicate the cell surface protein, CD147. Methods In this study, transfection of VP3 and silencing of CD147 genes was achieved through the treatment of tumors with pVIVO1-GFP/VP3 (VP3), psiRNA-CD147/2 (shCD147/2), and their combination of CT26 colon cancer cell-induced in mice. The effectiveness of tumor-treatment was ascertained by electrophoresis, TUNEL assay, and flow cytometry analysis. While histopathological and biochemical analysis were used as toxic side effect identification. Results The tumor growth delay index (TGDI) after treatment with VP3, shCD147/2, and their combination treatments increased by 1.3-, 1.2-, 2.0- and 2.3-fold respectively, over untreated control. The VP3-shCD147/2 combination treatment was more efficacious then either VP3 or shCD147/2 alone in the retardation of mouse CT26 colorectal cell tumor allograft. Conclusion The antitumor effect of the combination treatment is the result of synergistic effects of VP3 and shCD147/2 on the tumor cells resulting in apoptosis. Thus, the study shows that combination of VP3 and shCD147/2 treatment can be developed into a potential approach for anticolorectal cancer treatment regimen.

21.	A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HEPATITIS E VIRUS INFECTION IN SOUTH – EASTERN ASIA DESCRIPTION : Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is an emerging zoonotic viral disease, with an increasingly international public health challenge. Despite the concerns that the global disease burden may be underestimated. Therefore, evaluation of the disease epidemiology in South – eastern Asia through a systematic review will assist in unraveling the burden of the disease in the subregion. A priori protocol was prepared for the systematic review and followed by a literature search involving five electronic databases. Identified publications were screened for high quality studies and the elimination of bias and relevant data extracted. A total of 4157 citations were captured, and only 35 were included in the review. A wide range of HEV seroprevalence was recorded from 2% (urban blood donors in Malaysia) to 77.7% (lowland communities in Lao PDR). Sporadic HEV infection and epidemics were also detected in the subregion.

BRAIN MRI DATASET OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS WITH CONSENSUS MANUAL LESION SEGMENTATION AND PATIENT META INFORMATION DESCRIPTION : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a significant key to diagnose and monitor the progression of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease. Manual MS-Lesion segmentation, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and patient’s meta information can provide a gold standard for research in terms of automated MS-lesion quantification, automated EDSS prediction and identification of the correlation between MS-lesion and patient disability. In this dataset, we provide a novel multi-sequence MRI dataset of 60 MS patients with consensus manual lesion segmentation, EDSS, general patient information and clinical information. On this dataset, three radiologists and neurologist experts segmented and validated the manual MS-lesion segmentation for three MRI sequences T1-weighted, T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR). The dataset can be used to study the relationship between MS-lesion, EDSS and patient clinical information. Furthermore, it also can be used to development of automated MS-lesion segmentation, patient disability prediction using MRI and correlation analysis between patient disability and MRI brain abnormalities include MS lesion location, size, number and type.

HUMAN MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS-MEDIATED TRANSCRIPTOMIC REGULATION OF LEUKEMIC CELLS IN DELIVERING ANTI-TUMORIGENIC EFFECTS DESCRIPTION : Treatment of leukemia has become much difficult because of resistance to the existing anticancer therapies. This has thus expedited the search for alternativ therapies, and one of these is the exploitation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) towards control of tumor cells. The present study investigated the effect of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) on the proliferation of leukemic cells and gauged the transcriptomic modulation and the signaling pathways potentially affected by UC-MSCs. The inhibition of growth of leukemic tumor cell lines was assessed by proliferation assays, apoptosis and cell cycle analysis. BV173 and HL-60 cells were further analyzed using microarray gene expression profiling. The microarray results were validated by RT-qPCR and western blot assay for the corresponding expression of genes and proteins. The UC-MSCs attenuated leukemic cell viability and proliferation in a dose-dependent manner without inducing apoptosis. Cell cycle analysis revealed that the growth of tumor cells was arrested at the G0/G1 phase. The microarray results identified that HL-60 and BV173 share 35 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (same expression direction) in the presence of UC-MSCs. In silico analysis of these selected DEGs indicated a significant influence in the cell cycle and cell cycle-related biological processes and signaling pathways. Among these, the expression of DBF4, MDM2, CCNE2, CDK6, CDKN1A, and CDKN2A was implicated in six different signaling pathways that play a pivotal role in the anti-tumorigenic activity exerted by UC-MSCs. The UC-MSCs perturbate the cell cycle process of leukemic cells via dysregulation of tumor suppressor and oncogene expression.

DATA FROM: PRODUCTION OF BIOADSORBENT FROM PHOSPHORIC ACID PRETREATED PALM KERNEL SHELL AND COCONUT SHELL BY TWO-STAGE CONTINUOUS PHYSICAL ACTIVATION VIA N2 AND AIR DESCRIPTION : In the present study, agricultural biomass; palm kernel shell (PKS) and coconut shell (CS) were used to produce high porosity bioadsorbent using two-stage continuous physical activation method with different gas carrier (air and N2) in each stage. The activation temperature was set constant at 600°C, 700°C, 800°C or 900°C for both activation stages with the heating rate of 3°C min-1. Two parameters including the gas carrier and activation temperature were determined as the significant factors on the adsorption properties of bioadsorbent. BET, SEM, FTIR, TGA, CHNS/O and ash content were used to elucidate the developed bioadsorbent prepared from PKS and CS and its capacity towards the adsorption of methylene blue and iodine. The novel process of two-stage continuous physical activation method was capable to emerge mesopores and micropores that were previously covered/clogged in nature, and simultaneously creating new pores. The synthesized bioadsorbents showed that the surface area (PKS: 456.47 m2 g-1; CS: 479.17 m2 g-1), pore size (PKS: 0.63 nm: CS: 0.62 nm) and pore volume (PKS: 0.13 cm3 g-1, CS: 0.15 cm3 g-1) were significantly higher than that of non-treated bioadsorbent. The surface morphology of the raw materials and synthesized bioadsorbent were accessed by SEM. Furthermore, the novel process meets the recent industrial adsorbent requirements such as low activation temperature, high fixed carbon content, high yield, high adsorption properties and high surface area which are the key factors for large scale production of bioadsorbent and its usage.

SEPTICEMIA OF SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES COPTOTERMES CURVIGNATHUS CAUSED BY DISTURBANCE OF BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM TERMITE GUT AND ITS FORAGING PATHWAYS DESCRIPTION : Microbial pathogens continue to attract a great deal of attention to manage termite population. Every bacterium has its own mode of action and in fact, the mechanisms used by bacteria to attack termites remains elusive at the moment. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of subterranean termites Coptotermes curvignathus to opportunistic pathogens using culturable aerobic bacteria isolated from the termite gut and its foraging pathways. Bacterial suspensions were prepared in concentrations of 103, 106, and 109 CFU/mL and introduced to the termites via oral-contact and physical contact treatment. The data shows that contact method acted slower and gave lower mortality, compared to oral-contact method. C. curvignathus were highly susceptible to Serratia marcescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Serratia marcescens showed the highest mortality percentage of 68% and 54% at bacterial concentration of 109 CFU/mL via oral-contact and contact method, respectively. S. marcescens was also defined as the bacteria with the highest ability to induce high mortality of C. curvignathus with the lowest concentration of bacterial suspension at a given time under laboratory condition. The results of this study indicate that P. aeruginosa and S. marcescens in particular may be attractive candidates worth further examination as a possible biocontrol agent against C. curvignathus in the field and, to evaluate environmental and ecological risks of the biocontrol.

DATA FROM: MOBILE PHONE REMINDERS AND PEER COUNSELING IMPROVE ADHERENCE AND TREATMENT OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS ON ART IN MALAYSIA: A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL DESCRIPTION : Background: Adherence to treatment remains the cornerstone of long term viral suppression and successful treatment outcomes among patients receiving Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). Objective(s): Evaluate the effectiveness of mobile phone reminders and peer counseling in improving adherence and treatment outcomes among HIV positive patients on ART in Malaysia. Methods: A single-blind, parallel group RCT conducted in Hospital Sungai Buloh, Malaysia in which 242 adult Malaysian patients were randomized to intervention or control groups. Intervention consisted of a reminder module delivered through SMS and telephone call reminders by trained research assistants for 24 consecutive weeks (starting from date of ART initiation), in addition to adherence counseling at every clinic visit. The length of intended follow up for each patient was 6 months. Data on adherence behavior of patients was collected using specialized, pre-validated Adult AIDS Clinical Trial Group (AACTG) adherence questionnaires. Data on weight, clinical symptoms, CD4 count and viral load tests were also collected. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22 and R software. Repeated measures ANOVA, Friedman's ANOVA and Multivariate regression models were used to evaluate efficacy of the intervention. Results: The response rate after 6 months follow up was 93%. There were no significant differences at baseline in gender, employment status, income distribution and residential location of respondents between the intervention and control group. After 6 months follow up, the mean adherence was significantly higher in the intervention group (95.7; 95% CI: 94.39–96.97) as compared to the control group (87.5; 95% CI: 86.14–88.81). The proportion of respondents who had Good (>95%) adherence was significantly higher in the intervention group (92.2%) compared to the control group (54.6%). A significantly lower frequency in missed appointments (14.0% vs 35.5%) (p = 0.001), lower viral load (p = 0.001), higher rise in CD4 count (p = 0.017), lower incidence of tuberculosis (p = 0.001) and OIs (p = 0.001) at 6 months follow up, was observed among patients in the intervention group. Conclusion: Mobile phone reminders (SMS and telephone call reminders) and peer counseling are effective in improving adherence and treatment outcomes among HIV positive patients on ART in Malaysia. These findings may be of potential benefit for collaborative adherence planning between patients and health care providers at ART commencement.

29.	DATASET OF TANDEM MASS SPECTRA FOR NON-HALAL PORK-BASED FOOD PRODUCTS DESCRIPTION : Shotgun proteomics is a high-throughput proteomic studies that commonly used to establish the peptide markers. Massive amounts of tandem mass spectra will be produced after an LC-MS/MS acquisition, as a consequence of thousands of proteins from several biological samples is digested by an enzyme. Manual interpretation for these massive mass spectra is unfeasible; instead, database search engine is used to match the spectra with sequence information contained in the database. Each search engine has a unique algorithm to provide a list of the best matching peptide sequences, as well as a score that related to the confidence level for an individual tandem mass spectrum. In this dataset, three proteomic database search engines namely Comet, X! Tandem, and ProteinProspector have been used against 45 types of pork-based food products with triplicate each for halal analysis. The dataset can be used to compare and discuss the ability of each database search engine, in term of detected spectra, matched peptide-spectrum, and inferred proteins. A false-discovery rate can also be compared and discussed from this dataset, in respect of database searching. A result of combined database search engine can be generated from this dataset to leverage the information contained in the database during interpretation of massive amounts of tandem mass spectra.

30.	DATA FROM: PREDATION OF POTENTIAL INSECT PESTS IN OIL PALM PLANTATIONS, RUBBER TREE PLANTATIONS AND FRUIT ORCHARDS DESCRIPTION : In human-modified landscapes, important ecological functions such as predation are negatively affected by anthropogenic activities, including the use of pesticides and habitat degradation. Predation of insect pests is an indicator of healthy ecosystem functioning, which provides important ecosystem services, especially for agricultural systems. In this study, we compare predation attempts from arthropods, mammals, and birds on artificial caterpillars in the understory, between three tropical agricultural land-use types: oil palm plantations, rubber tree plantations, and fruit orchards. We collected a range of local and landscape-scale data including: undergrowth vegetation structure; elevation; proximity to forest; and canopy cover in order to understand how environmental variables can affect predation. In all three land-use types, our results showed that arthropods and mammals were important predators of artificial caterpillars and there was little predation by birds. We did not find any effect of the environmental variables on predation. There was an interactive effect between land-use type and predator type. Predation by mammals was considerably higher in fruit orchards and rubber tree than in oil palm plantations, likely due to their ability to support higher abundances of insectivorous mammals. In order to maintain or enhance natural pest-control in these common tropical agricultural land-use types, management practices that benefit insectivorous animals should be introduced, such as the reduction of pesticides, improvement of understory vegetation and local and landscape heterogeneity.

32.	APPLICATION STRATEGIES BY SELECTIVE MEDIUM TREATED WITH ENTOMOPATHOGENIC BACTERIA SERRATIA MARCESCENS AND PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA AS POTENTIAL BIOCONTROL AGAINST COPTOTERMES CURVIGNATHUS DESCRIPTION : The success of microbial termiticides in controlling termites depends on the ability of microbes to grow in different medium and the functionality of the microbes as a resistant barrier or toxic bait. This study was conducted to understand the mortality rate and behaviour changes of subterranean termite (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren) introduced with different concentrations of Serratia marcescens strain LGMS 1 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain LGMS 3 using wood and soil as bacterial transfer medium. In general, higher concentration of bacteria in soil caused reduction in tunnelling activity, wood consumption and an increased in mortality. However, application on wood revealed a different outcome. Wood treated with S. marcescens of 106 CFU/mL concentration proved to be more efficient as bait than higher concentration applications as it caused high mortality rate while still highly palatable for termites. Wood or soil treated with S. marcescens concentration higher than 109 CFU/mL creates a high toxicity and repellent barrier for termites. P. aeruginosa of 109 CFU/mL concentrations applied on wood served as a slow-acting toxic bait. However, the ability for S. marcescens and P. aeruginosa to survive on wood are low which caused the bait unable to retain a useful level of toxicity for a long period of time and frequent reapplication is needed.

CONCHOPHILUS (SILURIFORMES: PANGASIIDAE) DESCRIPTION : The catfish, Pangasius nasutus and P. conchophilus, are often misidentified between each other due to their similar morphology. Thus, the current study was conducted to differentiate them based on a molecular approach. The complete mitochondrial genomes of P. nasutus and P. conchophilus obtained from the Pahang River (Peninsular Malaysia) were sequenced, assembled, and annotated using Next-generation sequencing (NGS). A 16,465 bp and 16,470 bp length mitogenome sequence of P. nasutus and P. conchophilus, respectively were generated, each containing 13 protein genes, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs, typical of most vertebrates. This is the first report of the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of P. nasutus and P. conchophilus. This data is a valuable genetic resource for future studies of these two commercially important species.

39.	HABITAT FRAGMENTATION AND LOGGING AFFECTS THE OCCURRENCE OF THE LESSER MOUSE DEER IN TROPICAL FOREST RESERVES DESCRIPTION : Due to rapid urbanization, logging, and agricultural expansion, forest fragmentation is negatively affecting native wildlife populations throughout the tropics. This study examined the effects of landscape and habitat characteristics on the lesser mouse deer, Tragulus kanchil, populations in Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 315 camera traps were deployed in eight forest reserves. This study provides critical ecological information for managing and conserving understudied populations of T. kanchil. We found that the detection of T. kanchil was attributed to forest fragmentation. Forest patches had the detection of T. kanchil four times greater than continuous forests. The detection of T. kanchil was nearly three times higher in the peat swamp forest compared to the lowland dipterocarp forests. Surprisingly, the detection of T. kanchil was almost twice lower in the unlogged forests compared to logged forests. The detection of T. kanchil increased with the presence of trees, particularly those with DBH of 5 cm to 45 cm, canopy cover, number of saplings and palms, number of dead fallen trees, and distance from nearest roads. However, detection decreased with a greater number of trees with a DBH greater than 45 cm and higher elevation. We recommend that conservation stakeholders take the necessary steps to support the conservation of mouse deer species and its natural habitats regardless of whether these forests are fragmented or continuous. These steps include eradicating poaching, habitat degradation, and further deforestation.

EVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO ADDRESS THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF SELFISH MAC BEHAVIOR ON RESOURCE AVAILABILITY IN M2M NETWORKS DESCRIPTION : The emergence of sophisticated applications has created a demand of diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirement. Depending on the type of services provided by the application, the main concern of the wireless communication can shift from reliable transmission to high throughput delivery, stringent delay or vice versa. To cater for such QoS requirement, communication protocol such as IEEE 802.11ah and user programmable network interface card are introduced. Responsible for 70 percent (70%) of the performance of a network, modifications are introduced in Media Access Control (MAC) Layer of the protocol to improve the performance. These changes allow MAC parameters to be adjusted as needed for their respective QoS requirement. However, the dynamic tuning ability has changed the facet of resource contention for the conventional MAC protocol. The ability of tuning the MAC parameters at will has violated the fair share policy of conventional MAC parameters, and can be abused to gain individual benefit over the loss of other connected terminals in the associated network. This creates a security threat of resource availability in the network when connected terminals are denied their access to the radio resources, which is a case of Denial-of-Service (DoS). When a terminal tunes its parameter to gain personal benefit, this behavior is regarded as selfish behavior while terminal which tuned the parameter according to the standard are consider as behaving honestly. As the severity of selfish behavior intensify, the degree of effect of DoS for honest terminal will increase. In this work, we will analyze the interaction between terminals of different behavior using Evolutionary Game Theory. Using the framework from evolutionary game, the dynamic decision making and the change of behavior will be studied. A mechanism to discourage selfish behavior will be introduced towards the end of result analysis as a measure to enforce security for MAC layer in the network.

CHANGES IN ANTHROPOMETRIC, BODY COMPOSITION, CLINICAL PARAMETERS, BIOCHEMICAL PROFILES, AND BIOMARKERS CONCENTRATION OF SUBCLINICAL ATHEROSCLEROSIS OF THE EBN INTERVENTION AMONG PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN: A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL
DESCRIPTION : Introduction: The menopausal transition is an important physiological stage in the lives of women that is associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Objective: This study aimed to describe changes in anthropometric measurements, body composition, clinical parameters, biochemical profiles, biomarker concentration, and carotid ultrasound to address risk factors for subclinical atherosclerosis disease among premenopausal women with borderline hypercholesterolemia before and after intervention. This was a 12-week randomized control trial comparing an intervention with an edible bird nest with a control. Subjects: The study involved 39 premenopausal women 40-55 years of age who, following inclusion and exclusion criteria, were allocated into two groups, an intervention group consuming one (1) pouch (250 g) of edible bird nest mix (EBN) daily for 12 weeks (between days 84 and 90 days from day 1 of menses) and the control group consuming the same weight, texture and taste of the placebo. Main outcome measures: Assessment before and after inclusion of the anthropometric status parameters [weight, height, body mass index, hip, waist to hip ratio (WHR), body composition (body fat, body age, whole body skeletal, trunk skeletal, arm skeletal, leg skeletal, total body subcutaneous, trunk subcutaneous, arm subcutaneous, leg subcutaneous, visceral fat), clinical parameters (blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), thickness of the carotid intima, biochemical profiles (lipid profile, lasting blood glucose), biomarker concentrations (APO AI, APO AII, APO B, APO CII, APO CIII, APO E). This study showed that the EBN intervention for premenopausal women with mild hypercholesterolemia resulted in slightly beneficial changes in anthropometric measurement, body composition, clinical parameters, and biomarker concentration associated with cardiovascular risk in older women. These findings present a potential for the use of EBN in individuals with borderline hypercholesterolemia to provide cholesterol lowering benefit based on an animal-based diet strategy that can improve overall health outcomes when reaching menopausal age.

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT DRYING TREATMENTS AND SOLVENT RATIOS ON PHYTOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF IPOMOEA AQUATICA AND CORRELATION WITH Α-GLUCOSIDASE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY
DESCRIPTION : Ipomoea aquatica is an aquatic plant that is widely consumed in Southeast Asia as a vegetable. In this study, the influence of various ethanol ratios (0, 20, 50, 80, and 100%) as an extraction solvent and different drying methods including air drying (AD), sun drying (SD) and oven drying (OD) on phytochemical constituents of I. aquatica was investigated using a proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) based metabolomics approach. The effect on α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and total phenolic content (TPC) was also examined. Clear discrimination was observed between different ethanol ratios and different drying processes by principal component analysis (PCA). The highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was observed for absolute ethanol extract from the OD method with IC50 value of 204.0 ± 59.0 µg/mL and TPC value of 22.0 ± 0.7 µg GAE/mg extract. Correlation between the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and the metabolite were analyzed using a partial least square (PLS) analysis. The metabolites that are responsible for the activity were quercetin derivatives, chlorogenic acid derivatives, sucrose and fructose. This study highlights the basis for future investigations of I. aquatica as a source of food that has the potential for nutraceutical enhancement and as ingredient in medicinal preparation.

DATA FROM: CRYPTIC SPECIATION YIELDS REMARKABLE MIMICS: A NEW GENUS OF SEA SLUGS THAT MASQUERADE AS TOXIC ALGAE (CAULERPA SPP.)
DESCRIPTION : "Cryptic" can refer to species that match their background through camouflage or disruptive coloration, or in taxonomy to externally similar but unrecognized congeners. In adaptive resemblance, organisms resemble parts of a larger host animal or plant on which the mimic is highly cryptic. Mimetic lineages that radiate onto superficially similar hosts may contain cryptic species in both senses: taxa that are difficult to detect, and challenging for taxonomists to distinguish. Here, we describe a new genus and four species of herbivorous sea slugs (Gastropoda, Heterobranchia, Sacoglossa), including remarkable mimics of toxic green algae (Caulerpa spp.) on which the slugs feed. The long-recognized Stiliger smaragdinus Baba 1949 is highly mimetic of 'sea grapes' (C. racemosa-lentilifera), but phylogenetic analyses of four genes indicated Stiliger was polyphyletic: the name-bearing species grouped within Placida, whereas Caulerpa-mimetic lineages were phylogenetically distinct. We erect the genus Sacoproteus gen. n. for S. smaragdinus (Baba 1949), and describe four new species: S. nishae sp. n. from the Indo-Pacific, which mimics C. chemnitzia; S. yhiae sp. n. and S. browni sp. n. from southern Australia, which mimic C. cactoides and C. gemminata; and S. thomasleei sp. n., a non-mimetic west Pacific species that shared key features. Stiliger s.s. and Placida species show crypsis and aposematism but not host mimicry, although Stiliger spp. feeding on undefended algae may be Batesian mimics. Investigating the ecology and biogeography of Sacoproteus gen. n. will yield insight into how selection generates such extraordinary examples of adaptive resemblance in the marine realm.

DATA FROM: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND BONDING QUALITY OF LAMINATED VENEER LUMBER PRODUCED WITH VENEERS PEELED FROM SMALL-DIAMETER RUBBERWOOD LOG
DESCRIPTION : The peeling of small diameter rubber logs from the current short-rotation practices, undoubtedly will produced lower-grade veneers compared to the veneers from the conventional planting rotation. Hence, this raises the question of the properties of the produced laminated veneer lumber (LVL) from veneers peeled from small diameter rubber logs using spindleless lathe technology. Different thickness of rubberwood veneers were peeled from rubber logs with diameter less than 20 cm using spindleless lathe. Three layer LVLs were prepared using phenol formaldehyde (PF) adhesive and hot pressed at different temperature. During the peeling of veneer, lathe checks as deep as 30 to 60% of the veneer thickness are formed. This study showed that deep lathe check of 3 mm rubberwood veneer significantly reduced the gluebond shear strength of PF bonded LVL. In addition, lathe checks frequency were also shown to influence bond strengths. The presence of higher lathe check frequency on 2 mm veneer increased the wettability, thus, facilitated optimum penetration of adhesive for stronger bonding. These findings stress the importance of measuring and considering the lathe check depth and frequency during lamination process to get a better understanding of bonding quality in veneer-based products.

ASSOCIATION OF SOIL FUNGAL COMMUNITY COMPOSITION WITH INCIDENCE OF FUSARIUM WILT OF BANANA IN MALAYSIA
DESCRIPTION : Banana (Musa spp.), an important food crop in many parts of the world, is threatened by a deadly wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4). Increasing evidence indicates that plant actively recruits beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere to suppress soil-borne pathogens. Hence, studies on the composition and diversity of the root-associated microbial communities are important for banana health. Research on beneficial microbial communities has focused on bacteria, although fungi can also influence soil-borne disease. Here, high-throughput sequencing targeting the fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) was employed to systematically characterize the difference in the soil fungal community associated with Fusarium wilt (FW) of banana. The community structure of fungi in the healthy and TR4-infected rhizospheres was significantly different compared with that of bulk soil within the same farm. The rhizosphere soils of infected plants exhibited higher richness and diversity compared with healthy plants, with significant abundance of Fusarium genus at 14%. In the healthy rhizosphere soil, Penicillium spp. were more abundant at 7% and positively correlated with magnesium. This study produced a detailed description of fungal community structure in healthy and TR4-infected banana soils in Malaysia and identified candidate biomarker taxa that may be associated with FW disease promotion and suppression. The findings also expand the global inventory of fungal communities associated with the components of asymptomatic and symptomatic banana plants infected by TR4.

DATA FROM: TRAVELLING WAVE PULSE COUPLED OSCILLATOR (TWPCO) USING A SELF-ORGANIZING SCHEME FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
DESCRIPTION : Recently, Pulse Coupled Oscillator (PCO)-based travelling waves have attracted substantial attention by researchers in wireless sensor network (WSN) synchronization. Because WSNs are generally artificial occurrences that mimic natural phenomena, the PCO utilizes firefly synchronization of attracting mating partners for modelling the WSN. However, given that sensor nodes are unable to receive messages while transmitting data packets (due to deafness), the PCO model may not be efficient for sensor network modelling. To overcome this limitation, the current study proposed a new scheme called the Travelling Wave Pulse Coupled Oscillator (TWPCO). For this, the study used a self-organizing scheme for energy-efficient WSNs that adopted travelling wave biologically inspired network systems based on phase locking of the PCO model to counteract deafness. From the simulation, it was found that the proposed TWPCO scheme attained a steady state after a number of cycles. It also showed superior performance compared to other mechanisms, with a reduction in the total energy consumption of 25 %. The results showed that the performance improved by 13 % in terms of data gathering. Based on the results, the proposed scheme avoids the deafness that occurs in the transmit state in WSNs and increases the data collection throughout the transmission states in WSNs

PERCEPTION OF MALAYSIAN HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL TOWARDS FAMILY MEDICINE SPECIALISTS
DESCRIPTION : Perception of healthcare providers who worked with family medicine specialists (FMSs) could translate into the effectiveness of primary healthcare delivery in daily practices. This study examined perceptions of public healthcare providers/professionals (PHCPs) on FMSs at public health clinics throughout Malaysia. This was a cross-sectional study in 2012-2013 using postal method targeting PHCPs from three categories of health facilities, namely health clinics, health offices and hospitals. A structured questionnaire was developed to assess PHCP's perception of FMS's clinical competency, safety practice, ethical and professional values, and research involvement. It consists of 37 items with Likert scale of strongly disagree (a score of 1) to strongly agree (a score of 5). Interaction and independent effect of the independent variables were tested and adjusted means score were reported. The participants' response rate was 58.0% (780/1345) with almost equal proportion from each of the three public healthcare facilities. There were more positive perceptions than negative among the PHCPs. FMSs were perceived to provide effective and safe treatment to their patients equally disregards of patient's social background. However, there were some concerns of FMSs not doing home visits, not seeing walk-in patients, had long appointment time, not active in scientific research, writing and publication. There were significant differences in perception based on a respondent's health care facility (p < 0.0001) and frequency of encounter (p < 0.0001). PHCPs had overall positive perceptions on FMSs across all the domains investigated. PHCPs from different health care facilities and frequency of encounter with FMSs had different perception. Practicing FMSs could improve on the critical service areas that were perceived to be important but lacking. FMSs might need further support in conducting research and writing for publication.

DATA FOR URBAN AND RURAL PREFERENCES TOWARDS WETLAND CONSERVATION USING SUBSIDY REDUCTION AS PAYMENT VEHICLE
DESCRIPTION : The preferences for wetland conservation among urban and rural dwellers in Malaysia estimated using a choice experiment. Wetland conservation alternatives were described in terms of environmental protection zones, biodiversity protection, recreational services and flood. Each alternative was connected to a cost for the household, which was a reduction in subsidies for daily goods. Using a latent class model, three groups were identified with distinctly different preferences. The results indicated potential conflicts over wetland conservation impacts and targets. Accordingly, the divide in preferences should be taken into account in policy-making, and the insights provided here may inform efforts to avoid conflict across the population.

RNA-SEQUENCING OF LYMPH, SPLEEN, AND THYMUS TRANSCRIPTOME OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA M. FASCICULARIS
DESCRIPTION : The cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is an extensively utilised nonhuman primate model for biomedical research due to its biological, behavioural, and genetic similarities to humans. Genomic information of cynomolgus macaque is vital for research in various fields; however, there is presently a shortage of genomic information on the Malaysian cynomolgus macaque. This study aimed to sequence, assemble, annotate, and profile the Peninsular Malaysian cynomolgus macaque transcriptome derived from three tissues (lymph node, spleen, and thymus) using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology. A total of 174,208,078 paired end 70 base pair sequencing reads were obtained from the Illumina Hi-Seq 2500 sequencer. The overall mapping percentage of the sequencing reads to the M. fascicularis reference genome ranged from 53-63%. Categorisation of expressed genes to Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway categories revealed that GO terms with the highest number of associated expressed genes include Cellular process, Catalytic activity, and Cell part, while for pathway categorisation, the majority of expressed genes in lymph node, spleen, and thymus fall under the Global overview and maps pathway category, while 266, 221, and 138 genes from lymph node, spleen, and thymus were respectively enriched in the Immune system category. Enriched Immune system pathways include Platelet activation pathway, Antigen processing and presentation, B cell receptor signalling pathway, and Intestinal immune network for IgA production. Differential gene expression analysis among the three tissues revealed 574 differentially expressed genes (DEG) between lymph and spleen, 5402 DEGs between lymph and thymus, and 7008 DEGs between spleen and thymus. Venn diagram analysis of expressed genes revealed a total of 2,630, 253, and 279 tissue-specific genes respectively for lymph node, spleen, and thymus tissues. This is the first time the lymph node, spleen, and thymus transcriptome of the Peninsular Malaysian cynomolgus macaque have been sequenced via RNA-Seq. Novel transcriptomic data will further enrich the present M. fascicularis genomic database and provide future research potentials, including novel transcript discovery, comparative studies, and molecular markers development.

FLORAL MICROMORPHOLOGY AND TRANSCRIPTOME ANALYSES OF A FRAGRANT VANDACEOUS ORCHID, VANDA MIMI PALMER, FOR ITS FRAGRANCE PRODUCTION SITES
DESCRIPTION : Vanda Mimi Palmer (VMP) is commercially valuable for its strong fragrance but little is known regarding the fragrance production and emission sites on the flowers. Results Olfactory perception detected fragrance only from the petals and sepals. Light and Environmental Scanning Electron microscopy analyses on fresh tissues showed distributions of stomata and trichomes concentrated mostly around the edges. These results paralleled the rich starch deposits and intense neutral red stain, indicating strong fragrance and trichomes as potential main fragrance release sites. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) transcriptomic data of adaxial and abaxial layers of the tissues showed monoterpene synthase transcripts specifically linalool and ocimene synthases distributed throughout the tissues. qPCR analyses taken at different time points revealed high levels of linalool and ocimene synthases transcripts in the early morning with maximal level at 4.00 am but remained low throughout daylight hours. Conclusions Knowledge of the VMP floral anatomy and its fragrance production characteristics, which complemented our previous molecular and biochemical data on VMP, provided additional knowledge on how fragrance and flower morphology are closely intertwined. Further investigation on the mechanisms of fragrance biosynthesis and interaction of potential pollinators would elucidate the evolution of the flower morphology to maximize the reproduction success of this plant.

MULTIPLE GENE TARGETING SIRNAS FOR DOWN REGULATION OF IMMEDIATE EARLY-2 (IE2) AND DNA POLYMERASE GENES MEDIATED INHIBITION OF NOVEL RAT CYTOMEGALOVIRUS (STRAIN ALL-03)
DESCRIPTION : Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe complications in congenitally infected newborns and non-immunocompetent individuals. Developing an effective vaccine is a major public health priority and current drugs are fronting resistance and side effects on recipients. In the present study, with the aim of exploring new strategies to counteract CMV replication, several anti-CMV siRNAs targeting IE2 and DNA polymerase gene regions were characterized and used as in combinations for antiviral therapy. Methods The rat embryo fibroblast (REF) cells were transfected with multi siRNA before infecting with CMV strain ALL-03. Viral growth inhibition was measured by tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50), cytopathic effect (CPE) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) while IE2 and DNA polymerase gene knockdown was determined by real-time PCR. Ganciclovir was deployed as a control to benchmark the efficacy of antiviral activities of respective individual siRNAs. Results There was no significant cytotoxicity encountered for all the combinations of siRNAs on REF cells analyzed by MTT colorimetric assay (P > 0.05). Cytopathic effects (CPE) in cells infected by RCMV ALL-03 had developed significantly less and at much slower rate compared to control group. The expression of targeted genes was downregulated successfully resulted in significant reduction (P < 0.05) of viral mRNA and DNA copies (dpb + dpc: 79%, 68%; dpb + ie2b: 68%, 60%; dpb + dpc + ie2b: 48%, 42%). Flow cytometry analysis showed a greater percentage of viable and early apoptosis of combined siRNAs-treated cells compared to control group. Notably, the siRNAs targeting gene regions were sequenced and mutations were not encountered, thereby avoiding the formation of mutant with potential resistant viruses. Conclusions In conclusion. The study demonstrated a tremendous promise of innovative approach with the deployment of combined siRNAs targeting at several genes simultaneously with the aim to control CMV replication in host cells.

COMBINATION OF VP3 AND CD147-KNOCKDOWN ENHANCE APOPTOSIS AND TUMOR GROWTH DELAY INDEX IN COLORECTAL TUMOR ALLOGRAFT
DESCRIPTION : Cancer therapies that kill cancer cells without affecting normal cells is the ultimate mode of treating cancers. The VP3, an avian virus-derived protein, can specifically initiate cell death through several signal transduction pathways leading to apoptosis. In cancer, chemoresistance and cell survivability implicate the cell surface protein, CD147. Methods In this study, transfection of VP3 and silencing of CD147 genes was achieved through the treatment of tumors with pVIVO1-GFP/VP3 (VP3), psiRNA-CD147/2 (shCD147/2), and their combination of CT26 colon cancer cell-induced in mice. The effectiveness of tumor-treatment was ascertained by electrophoresis, TUNEL assay, and flow cytometry analysis. While histopathological and biochemical analysis were used as toxic side effect identification. Results The tumor growth delay index (TGDI) after treatment with VP3, shCD147/2, and their combination treatments increased by 1.3-, 1.2-, 2.0- and 2.3-fold respectively, over untreated control. The VP3-shCD147/2 combination treatment was more efficacious then either VP3 or shCD147/2 alone in the retardation of mouse CT26 colorectal cell tumor allograft. Conclusion The antitumor effect of the combination treatment is the result of synergistic effects of VP3 and shCD147/2 on the tumor cells resulting in apoptosis. Thus, the study shows that combination of VP3 and shCD147/2 treatment can be developed into a potential approach for anticolorectal cancer treatment regimen.

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HEPATITIS E VIRUS INFECTION IN SOUTH – EASTERN ASIA
DESCRIPTION : Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is an emerging zoonotic viral disease, with an increasingly international public health challenge. Despite the concerns that the global disease burden may be underestimated. Therefore, evaluation of the disease epidemiology in South – eastern Asia through a systematic review will assist in unraveling the burden of the disease in the subregion. A priori protocol was prepared for the systematic review and followed by a literature search involving five electronic databases. Identified publications were screened for high quality studies and the elimination of bias and relevant data extracted. A total of 4157 citations were captured, and only 35 were included in the review. A wide range of HEV seroprevalence was recorded from 2% (urban blood donors in Malaysia) to 77.7% (lowland communities in Lao PDR). Sporadic HEV infection and epidemics were also detected in the subregion. Indicating hyperendemicity of the disease in South – eastern Asia

BRAIN MRI DATASET OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS WITH CONSENSUS MANUAL LESION SEGMENTATION AND PATIENT META INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a significant key to diagnose and monitor the progression of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease. Manual MS-Lesion segmentation, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and patient’s meta information can provide a gold standard for research in terms of automated MS-lesion quantification, automated EDSS prediction and identification of the correlation between MS-lesion and patient disability. In this dataset, we provide a novel multi-sequence MRI dataset of 60 MS patients with consensus manual lesion segmentation, EDSS, general patient information and clinical information. On this dataset, three radiologists and neurologist experts segmented and validated the manual MS-lesion segmentation for three MRI sequences T1-weighted, T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR). The dataset can be used to study the relationship between MS-lesion, EDSS and patient clinical information. Furthermore, it also can be used to development of automated MS-lesion segmentation, patient disability prediction using MRI and correlation analysis between patient disability and MRI brain abnormalities include MS lesion location, size, number and type.

HUMAN MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS-MEDIATED TRANSCRIPTOMIC REGULATION OF LEUKEMIC CELLS IN DELIVERING ANTI-TUMORIGENIC EFFECTS
DESCRIPTION : Treatment of leukemia has become much difficult because of resistance to the existing anticancer therapies. This has thus expedited the search for alternativ therapies, and one of these is the exploitation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) towards control of tumor cells. The present study investigated the effect of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) on the proliferation of leukemic cells and gauged the transcriptomic modulation and the signaling pathways potentially affected by UC-MSCs. The inhibition of growth of leukemic tumor cell lines was assessed by proliferation assays, apoptosis and cell cycle analysis. BV173 and HL-60 cells were further analyzed using microarray gene expression profiling. The microarray results were validated by RT-qPCR and western blot assay for the corresponding expression of genes and proteins. The UC-MSCs attenuated leukemic cell viability and proliferation in a dose-dependent manner without inducing apoptosis. Cell cycle analysis revealed that the growth of tumor cells was arrested at the G0/G1 phase. The microarray results identified that HL-60 and BV173 share 35 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (same expression direction) in the presence of UC-MSCs. In silico analysis of these selected DEGs indicated a significant influence in the cell cycle and cell cycle-related biological processes and signaling pathways. Among these, the expression of DBF4, MDM2, CCNE2, CDK6, CDKN1A, and CDKN2A was implicated in six different signaling pathways that play a pivotal role in the anti-tumorigenic activity exerted by UC-MSCs. The UC-MSCs perturbate the cell cycle process of leukemic cells via dysregulation of tumor suppressor and oncogene expression.

DATA FROM: PRODUCTION OF BIOADSORBENT FROM PHOSPHORIC ACID PRETREATED PALM KERNEL SHELL AND COCONUT SHELL BY TWO-STAGE CONTINUOUS PHYSICAL ACTIVATION VIA N2 AND AIR
DESCRIPTION : In the present study, agricultural biomass; palm kernel shell (PKS) and coconut shell (CS) were used to produce high porosity bioadsorbent using two-stage continuous physical activation method with different gas carrier (air and N2) in each stage. The activation temperature was set constant at 600°C, 700°C, 800°C or 900°C for both activation stages with the heating rate of 3°C min-1. Two parameters including the gas carrier and activation temperature were determined as the significant factors on the adsorption properties of bioadsorbent. BET, SEM, FTIR, TGA, CHNS/O and ash content were used to elucidate the developed bioadsorbent prepared from PKS and CS and its capacity towards the adsorption of methylene blue and iodine. The novel process of two-stage continuous physical activation method was capable to emerge mesopores and micropores that were previously covered/clogged in nature, and simultaneously creating new pores. The synthesized bioadsorbents showed that the surface area (PKS: 456.47 m2 g-1; CS: 479.17 m2 g-1), pore size (PKS: 0.63 nm: CS: 0.62 nm) and pore volume (PKS: 0.13 cm3 g-1, CS: 0.15 cm3 g-1) were significantly higher than that of non-treated bioadsorbent. The surface morphology of the raw materials and synthesized bioadsorbent were accessed by SEM. Furthermore, the novel process meets the recent industrial adsorbent requirements such as low activation temperature, high fixed carbon content, high yield, high adsorption properties and high surface area which are the key factors for large scale production of bioadsorbent and its usage.

SEPTICEMIA OF SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES COPTOTERMES CURVIGNATHUS CAUSED BY DISTURBANCE OF BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM TERMITE GUT AND ITS FORAGING PATHWAYS
DESCRIPTION : Microbial pathogens continue to attract a great deal of attention to manage termite population. Every bacterium has its own mode of action and in fact, the mechanisms used by bacteria to attack termites remains elusive at the moment. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of subterranean termites Coptotermes curvignathus to opportunistic pathogens using culturable aerobic bacteria isolated from the termite gut and its foraging pathways. Bacterial suspensions were prepared in concentrations of 103, 106, and 109 CFU/mL and introduced to the termites via oral-contact and physical contact treatment. The data shows that contact method acted slower and gave lower mortality, compared to oral-contact method. C. curvignathus were highly susceptible to Serratia marcescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Serratia marcescens showed the highest mortality percentage of 68% and 54% at bacterial concentration of 109 CFU/mL via oral-contact and contact method, respectively. S. marcescens was also defined as the bacteria with the highest ability to induce high mortality of C. curvignathus with the lowest concentration of bacterial suspension at a given time under laboratory condition. The results of this study indicate that P. aeruginosa and S. marcescens in particular may be attractive candidates worth further examination as a possible biocontrol agent against C. curvignathus in the field and, to evaluate environmental and ecological risks of the biocontrol.

DATA FROM: MOBILE PHONE REMINDERS AND PEER COUNSELING IMPROVE ADHERENCE AND TREATMENT OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS ON ART IN MALAYSIA: A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL
DESCRIPTION : Background: Adherence to treatment remains the cornerstone of long term viral suppression and successful treatment outcomes among patients receiving Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). Objective(s): Evaluate the effectiveness of mobile phone reminders and peer counseling in improving adherence and treatment outcomes among HIV positive patients on ART in Malaysia. Methods: A single-blind, parallel group RCT conducted in Hospital Sungai Buloh, Malaysia in which 242 adult Malaysian patients were randomized to intervention or control groups. Intervention consisted of a reminder module delivered through SMS and telephone call reminders by trained research assistants for 24 consecutive weeks (starting from date of ART initiation), in addition to adherence counseling at every clinic visit. The length of intended follow up for each patient was 6 months. Data on adherence behavior of patients was collected using specialized, pre-validated Adult AIDS Clinical Trial Group (AACTG) adherence questionnaires. Data on weight, clinical symptoms, CD4 count and viral load tests were also collected. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22 and R software. Repeated measures ANOVA, Friedman's ANOVA and Multivariate regression models were used to evaluate efficacy of the intervention. Results: The response rate after 6 months follow up was 93%. There were no significant differences at baseline in gender, employment status, income distribution and residential location of respondents between the intervention and control group. After 6 months follow up, the mean adherence was significantly higher in the intervention group (95.7; 95% CI: 94.39–96.97) as compared to the control group (87.5; 95% CI: 86.14–88.81). The proportion of respondents who had Good (>95%) adherence was significantly higher in the intervention group (92.2%) compared to the control group (54.6%). A significantly lower frequency in missed appointments (14.0% vs 35.5%) (p = 0.001), lower viral load (p = 0.001), higher rise in CD4 count (p = 0.017), lower incidence of tuberculosis (p = 0.001) and OIs (p = 0.001) at 6 months follow up, was observed among patients in the intervention group. Conclusion: Mobile phone reminders (SMS and telephone call reminders) and peer counseling are effective in improving adherence and treatment outcomes among HIV positive patients on ART in Malaysia. These findings may be of potential benefit for collaborative adherence planning between patients and health care providers at ART commencement.

DATASET OF TANDEM MASS SPECTRA FOR NON-HALAL PORK-BASED FOOD PRODUCTS
DESCRIPTION : Shotgun proteomics is a high-throughput proteomic studies that commonly used to establish the peptide markers. Massive amounts of tandem mass spectra will be produced after an LC-MS/MS acquisition, as a consequence of thousands of proteins from several biological samples is digested by an enzyme. Manual interpretation for these massive mass spectra is unfeasible; instead, database search engine is used to match the spectra with sequence information contained in the database. Each search engine has a unique algorithm to provide a list of the best matching peptide sequences, as well as a score that related to the confidence level for an individual tandem mass spectrum. In this dataset, three proteomic database search engines namely Comet, X! Tandem, and ProteinProspector have been used against 45 types of pork-based food products with triplicate each for halal analysis. The dataset can be used to compare and discuss the ability of each database search engine, in term of detected spectra, matched peptide-spectrum, and inferred proteins. A false-discovery rate can also be compared and discussed from this dataset, in respect of database searching. A result of combined database search engine can be generated from this dataset to leverage the information contained in the database during interpretation of massive amounts of tandem mass spectra.

DATA FROM: PREDATION OF POTENTIAL INSECT PESTS IN OIL PALM PLANTATIONS, RUBBER TREE PLANTATIONS AND FRUIT ORCHARDS
DESCRIPTION : In human-modified landscapes, important ecological functions such as predation are negatively affected by anthropogenic activities, including the use of pesticides and habitat degradation. Predation of insect pests is an indicator of healthy ecosystem functioning, which provides important ecosystem services, especially for agricultural systems. In this study, we compare predation attempts from arthropods, mammals, and birds on artificial caterpillars in the understory, between three tropical agricultural land-use types: oil palm plantations, rubber tree plantations, and fruit orchards. We collected a range of local and landscape-scale data including: undergrowth vegetation structure; elevation; proximity to forest; and canopy cover in order to understand how environmental variables can affect predation. In all three land-use types, our results showed that arthropods and mammals were important predators of artificial caterpillars and there was little predation by birds. We did not find any effect of the environmental variables on predation. There was an interactive effect between land-use type and predator type. Predation by mammals was considerably higher in fruit orchards and rubber tree than in oil palm plantations, likely due to their ability to support higher abundances of insectivorous mammals. In order to maintain or enhance natural pest-control in these common tropical agricultural land-use types, management practices that benefit insectivorous animals should be introduced, such as the reduction of pesticides, improvement of understory vegetation and local and landscape heterogeneity.

APPLICATION STRATEGIES BY SELECTIVE MEDIUM TREATED WITH ENTOMOPATHOGENIC BACTERIA SERRATIA MARCESCENS AND PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA AS POTENTIAL BIOCONTROL AGAINST COPTOTERMES CURVIGNATHUS
DESCRIPTION : The success of microbial termiticides in controlling termites depends on the ability of microbes to grow in different medium and the functionality of the microbes as a resistant barrier or toxic bait. This study was conducted to understand the mortality rate and behaviour changes of subterranean termite (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren) introduced with different concentrations of Serratia marcescens strain LGMS 1 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain LGMS 3 using wood and soil as bacterial transfer medium. In general, higher concentration of bacteria in soil caused reduction in tunnelling activity, wood consumption and an increased in mortality. However, application on wood revealed a different outcome. Wood treated with S. marcescens of 106 CFU/mL concentration proved to be more efficient as bait than higher concentration applications as it caused high mortality rate while still highly palatable for termites. Wood or soil treated with S. marcescens concentration higher than 109 CFU/mL creates a high toxicity and repellent barrier for termites. P. aeruginosa of 109 CFU/mL concentrations applied on wood served as a slow-acting toxic bait. However, the ability for S. marcescens and P. aeruginosa to survive on wood are low which caused the bait unable to retain a useful level of toxicity for a long period of time and frequent reapplication is needed.

THE COMPLETE MITOCHONDRIAL GENOMES OF PANGASIUS NASUTUS AND P. CONCHOPHILUS (SILURIFORMES: PANGASIIDAE)
DESCRIPTION : The catfish, Pangasius nasutus and P. conchophilus, are often misidentified between each other due to their similar morphology. Thus, the current study was conducted to differentiate them based on a molecular approach. The complete mitochondrial genomes of P. nasutus and P. conchophilus obtained from the Pahang River (Peninsular Malaysia) were sequenced, assembled, and annotated using Next-generation sequencing (NGS). A 16,465 bp and 16,470 bp length mitogenome sequence of P. nasutus and P. conchophilus, respectively were generated, each containing 13 protein genes, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs, typical of most vertebrates. This is the first report of the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of P. nasutus and P. conchophilus. This data is a valuable genetic resource for future studies of these two commercially important species.

HABITAT FRAGMENTATION AND LOGGING AFFECTS THE OCCURRENCE OF THE LESSER MOUSE DEER IN TROPICAL FOREST RESERVES
DESCRIPTION : Due to rapid urbanization, logging, and agricultural expansion, forest fragmentation is negatively affecting native wildlife populations throughout the tropics. This study examined the effects of landscape and habitat characteristics on the lesser mouse deer, Tragulus kanchil, populations in Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 315 camera traps were deployed in eight forest reserves. This study provides critical ecological information for managing and conserving understudied populations of T. kanchil. We found that the detection of T. kanchil was attributed to forest fragmentation. Forest patches had the detection of T. kanchil four times greater than continuous forests. The detection of T. kanchil was nearly three times higher in the peat swamp forest compared to the lowland dipterocarp forests. Surprisingly, the detection of T. kanchil was almost twice lower in the unlogged forests compared to logged forests. The detection of T. kanchil increased with the presence of trees, particularly those with DBH of 5 cm to 45 cm, canopy cover, number of saplings and palms, number of dead fallen trees, and distance from nearest roads. However, detection decreased with a greater number of trees with a DBH greater than 45 cm and higher elevation. We recommend that conservation stakeholders take the necessary steps to support the conservation of mouse deer species and its natural habitats regardless of whether these forests are fragmented or continuous. These steps include eradicating poaching, habitat degradation, and further deforestation.

EVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO ADDRESS THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF SELFISH MAC BEHAVIOR ON RESOURCE AVAILABILITY IN M2M NETWORKS
DESCRIPTION : The emergence of sophisticated applications has created a demand of diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirement. Depending on the type of services provided by the application, the main concern of the wireless communication can shift from reliable transmission to high throughput delivery, stringent delay or vice versa. To cater for such QoS requirement, communication protocol such as IEEE 802.11ah and user programmable network interface card are introduced. Responsible for 70 percent (70%) of the performance of a network, modifications are introduced in Media Access Control (MAC) Layer of the protocol to improve the performance. These changes allow MAC parameters to be adjusted as needed for their respective QoS requirement. However, the dynamic tuning ability has changed the facet of resource contention for the conventional MAC protocol. The ability of tuning the MAC parameters at will has violated the fair share policy of conventional MAC parameters, and can be abused to gain individual benefit over the loss of other connected terminals in the associated network. This creates a security threat of resource availability in the network when connected terminals are denied their access to the radio resources, which is a case of Denial-of-Service (DoS). When a terminal tunes its parameter to gain personal benefit, this behavior is regarded as selfish behavior while terminal which tuned the parameter according to the standard are consider as behaving honestly. As the severity of selfish behavior intensify, the degree of effect of DoS for honest terminal will increase. In this work, we will analyze the interaction between terminals of different behavior using Evolutionary Game Theory. Using the framework from evolutionary game, the dynamic decision making and the change of behavior will be studied. A mechanism to discourage selfish behavior will be introduced towards the end of result analysis as a measure to enforce security for MAC layer in the network.
