Introduction: Inflammation in asthma occured in airway especially in submucous layer, and involve eosinophil, neutrophil, lymphocytes T, epitheliat cel, basophil, mast cell, and lymphocytes B. Inflammatory cells produce inflammatory mediators (histamine, leucotrienes, and prostanoid), cytokines, and chemokines that can cause bronchocontriction. This study was conducted to determine and prove the effect of curcumin as adjunctive therapy in acute exacerbation asthma. Curcumin is expected to increase the quality therapy of acute exacerbation asthma. The effect of curcumin is known wiith evaluate plasma histamine level, PEF variation, and length of stay of patient with acute exacerbation asthma. Methods: This study is a quasi experimental study with pretest and posttest design. Sampel of study is 30 patients hospitalizes acute exacerbation asthma in Moewardi hospital and Sohadi Prijonegoro Sragen hospital in August 2016 until september 2016. The subject was taken with concecutive random sampling. Independent variable is curcumin 4x550 mg and dependent variables are plasma histamin level, PEF variation, and length of stay. Result: There is no significant difference (P=0.462) of decreasing plasma histamine level between treatment group 3,988±2,739 ng/ml and control group 3,376±1,606 ng/ml. There is no significant difference (P=0.501) of PEF variation between treatment group 28,126±7,886% and control group 30,400±10,217%. There is no significant difference (P=0.936) of length of stay between treatment group perlakuan 6,333±2,193 days and control group 6,400±2,292 days. Conclusion: Giving curcumin in acute exacerbation asthma while hospitalized didn’t reduce inflammatory marker plasma histamin, PEF variation, and length of stay. (J Respir Indo 2018; 38(2): 100-8)

Photographic Emulsions

With the advances in preparing biological materials in a thin and highly ordered form, and in maintaining them hydrated under vacuum, electron crystallography has become an important tool for biological structure investigation at high resolution (1,2). However, the electron radiation damage would limit the capability of recording reflections with low intensities in an electron diffraction pattern. It has been demonstrated that the use of a low temperature stage can reduce the radiation damage effect and that one can expose the specimen with a higher dose in order to increase the signal contrast (3). A further improvement can be made by selecting a proper photographic emulsion. The primary factors in evaluating the suitability of photographic emulsion for recording low dose diffraction patterns are speed, fog level, electron response at low electron exposure, linearity, and usable range of exposure. We have compared these factors with three photographic emulsions including Kodak electron microscopic plate (EMP), Industrex AA x-ray film (AA x-ray) and Kodak nuclear track film (NTB3).
