AbstractTrigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) is a well-established neurogenic reflex although its exact mechanism and clinical significance remain unclear. This reflex may be incited by stimulation of the trigeminal nerve anywhere along its course starting from the peripheral distribution to the central nucleus. It usually manifests as bradycardia, asystole, hypotension, apnoea and gastric hypermotility; though other clinical manifestation such as tachycardia and hypertension may also occur. Diving reflex (DR) shares many similarities with TCR in both clinical manifestation and mechanism of action and is often considered as a modified or subtype of TCR. DR is an important physiological adaptation to withstand hypoxia during apnoea in many animal species including humans and thus belongs to a group of oxygen-conserving reflexes. Although TCR is a physiological reflex having protective function, an exaggerated response may have fatal consequences. Surgeries or stimulation involving head, neck and face region (area supplied by trigeminal nerve) are particularly prone to provoke this reflex. Vigilant and continuous monitoring for early identification of warning signs and communication with surgeon to interrupt the stimulus immediately is enough to cease the reflex in most of the cases. However, failure to identify and treat in time may have deleterious consequences and thus TCR has gained much attention and awareness in recent years. Over the last two decades, our knowledge on TCR has expanded but we still remain far from complete elucidation of pathophysiology, mechanism and clinical significance of this unique ‘brain and heart connection’ called TCR.

<p>Indonesia is the main centre of banana biodiversity. Banana is preferred because of its high nutrient content and economical value. Besides, banana leaves, particularly from “Klutuk” banana (Musa balbisiana Colla.) is also well-known used as traditional wrapper of cakes and foods. The objective of this research was to know and to compare the anatomical structure of Musa balbisiana Colla. and Musa paradisiaca L. leaves, and their anatomical characters as quality indication of banana leaves used as cakes and foods wrapper. Cross sections of banana leaves were prepared using free hand section and paraffin embedding methods. Leaf clearing method was used to prepare upper and lower epidermal tissue slides. Parameters used were the arrangement of cells/tissues, length and width of vascular bundles, mesophyll thickness, the thickness of schlerenchyma tissue, the number of laticiferous and tanin cells, and stomata indexs. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (Anova) continued by Duncan test at level 5%. The results showed that the anatomical structure of M.balbisiana Colla. and M. paradisiaca L. leaves consisted of epidermis, hypodermis, mesophyll, and vascular bundles. The supporting tissues were composed of sclerenchyma located at upper and lower side of vascular bundle. The number of cell layers composing upper and lower hypodermis; stomata number, stomata index, the length and width of stomata; the thickness of vascular bundles; the thickness of layers composing adaxial and abaxial mesophyll; the thickness of schlerenchyma layers and width of schlerenchyma tissue at vascular bundle as well as laticiferous and tannin cell were found differently between M. balbisiana Colla. and M. paradisiaca L. The values of meshophyll thickness, length and width of vascular bundle, the thickness of schlerenchyma tissue, the number of laticiferous cells and the number of tanin cells were higher for M. paradisiaca L than in M. balbisiana Colla. The smaller the thickness of schlerenchyma layers and the width of schlerenchyma tissue at vascular bundle as well as the less number of laticiferous and tannin cells were assumed to be correlated with the good quality of M. balbisiana Colla leaves as foods and cakes wrapper. </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: anatomy, banana leaves, Musa balbisiana Colla., Musa paradisiaca L.</p>

Indonesia has a potential to be exposed to the threat of dengue hemorrhagic fever with the point vector, the Aedes aegypti mosquito, so development need to be stopped. The use of synthetic larvicides in eradicating mosquito larvae can cause environmental pollution. To reduce it, an alternative is needed using plant larvacides with banana leaf. Banana leaves are obtained from Candi Sidoarjo. Ethanol extract of banana leaf contains tannin compounds, alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, and flavonoids which can be used as larvicides. This research was conducted to determine the toxic effects of banana leaf extract (Musa paradisiaca L.) on the larvae of Aedes aegypti mosquito mortality. This research was conducted using the post test only the control group design with 6 treatment groups including control (aquades) and banana leaf  extract concentrations of 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, 3000 ppm, 4000 ppm, 5000 ppm. This study used third instar larvae, each test group countaining 20 larvae with 4 repetitions. That obtained were analyzed using data and probit tests. The results of this study that banana leaf extract has a toxic effect on Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae with LC50 at a concentration of 4638 ppm.

One of food materials wrappings used are leaves. The leaves are natural and safe material to wrap foods. The use of materials are traditional knowledge is very valuable and including culture wealth. It must be give more attention to perpetuated and developed. This research was taked from April to Desember 2015 in Merawang district Bangka regency. Data colecting tecnic in this research were interview and direct observation, determining informans and location with purposive tecnic. The result of research showed to consist of 12 type from 7 plants family that it’s leaves used as traditional foods wrapping by people Merawang district Bangka regency. Plants species used is Arenga pinnata, Cocos nucifera, Nypa fruticans, Areca cathecu (Arecaceae); Dillenia suffruticosa (Dilleniaceae); Curculigo capitulata (Hypoxidaceae); Musa paradisiaca (Musaceae); Pandanus furcatus, Pandanus tectorius, Pandanus amaryllifolius (Pandanaceae); Bambusa sp.
