A simple LC-MS/MS method of rabeprazole in human plasma was developed and validated. Rabeprazole and Internal standard (I.S), omeprazole, were extracted from human plasma by liquid liquid extraction, chromatographic separation of rabaprazole in plasma was achieved at $45^{\circ}C$ with a Shiseido UG120 $C_{18}$ column and methanol-10 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 9.42 with ammonium water), as mobile phase. Rabeprazole produced a protonated precursor ion [$(M+H)^+$] at m/z 360.10 and corresponding product ion at m/z 242.21. Internal standard produced a protonated precursor ion [$(M+H)^+$] at 346.09 and corresponding product ion at m/z 198.09. This method showed linear response over the concentration range of $1{\sim}500\;ng/mL$ with correalation coefficient greater than 0.99. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) using 0.2 mL plasma was 1 ng/mL, which was sensitive enough for pharmacokinetics studies. The method was specific and validated with a limit of quantitation of 1 ng/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy were acceptable for all samples including the LLOQ. The applicability of the method was demonstrated by analysis of plasma after administration of a single 10 mg dose to 36 healthy subject. From the plasma rabeprazole concentration versus time curves, the mean $AUC_t$ (The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to 12 hr ) was $691.36{\pm}321.88\;ng{\cdot}hr/mL$, $C_{max}$ (maximum plasma drug concentration) of $353.21{\pm}131.52\;ng/mL$ reached $3.4{\pm}1.1\;hr$ after adiministration. The mean biological half-life of rabeprazole was $1.37{\pm}0.75\;hr$. Based on the results, this simple method could readily be used in pharmacokinetics studies.

목 적: 카우치의 회전없이 갠트리 회전에 국한된 토모테라피 치료 시 환자머리의 각도를 올려 non-coplanar 빔처럼 치료하는 방법을 모색하였다. 이러한 방식의 토모테라피 치료 시 환자자세와 구강고정기구의 사용으로 인한 치료시 환자의 움직임을 분석하여 임상 치료에 이와 같은 결과를 참조하여 보다 정밀하고 정확한 치료를 하는데 도움을 주고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 나선형 토모테라피를 이용하여 방사선 치료를 받는 뇌종양 환자 8명을 대상으로 모의치료 시 기존의 방식대로 앙와위(supine)자세에서 2명의 환자는 S-plate를 사용하여 환자의 머리를 원래대로 똑바로 하고 머리고정장치(thermoplastic mask)를 사용하였고, 3명의 환자는 S-plate에 Variable Axis Baseplate를 장착하여 머리의 각도를 올린 후 머리고정기구를 사용하였으며, 나머지 3명의 환자는 두 번째 그룹의 환자들과 동일한 방법으로 머리를 올린 후 환자가 아래로 밀려 내려가는 것을 줄이고자 하는 방안으로 구강고정기구(mouthpiece immobilization device)와 머리고정기구를 사용하였다. 토모테라피 치료 계획용 장비로 치료계획을 세운 후 치료를 시행하였다. 치료 시 초고압 전산화단층 촬영(Megavoltage computed tomography; MVCT)을 치료 후에 한번 더 시행하여 lateral (X), longitudinal (Y), and vertical (Z) 각 방향의 이동값을 확인하고 전체의 움직임을 vector값($\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}$)으로 계산하여 치료 중 오차를 살펴보고 정상 뇌를 포함한 결정장기에 들어가는 선량을 비교하였다. 결 과: 세 그룹으로 나누어 X, Y, Z, vector값으로 치료 중 오차를 비교하였다. 치료 전 MVCT의 보정 값으로 이동하여 치료하고 난 후 그대로 치료 후 MVCT를 시행한 후의 보정 값(X, Y, Z)은 0에 가까워야 환자의 움직임이 적은 것으로 알 수가 있다. Variable Axis Baseplate과 S-plate를 사용하여 머리의 각도를 올린 상태로 치료한 환자를 똑바로 치료한 환자와 비교했을 때, 머리를 기울여서 치료하다 보니 X축에 비해(13% 감소) 아래로 밀려 Y (109% 증가), Z (88% 증가)축의 이동값이 상대적으로 컸다. 머리를 기울인 후, 구강고정기구를 사용한 경우는 사용하지 않은 그룹보다 X축의 이동은 평균값이 9.4% 증가하였지만, 상대적으로 움직임이 많았던 Y축은 이동의 평균값이 64% 이상, Z축은 평균값이 67% 이상, vector값은 59% 이상 감소하였다. 8명의 환자 중 전두엽과 기저핵의 왼쪽에 종양이 위치한 환자의 경우 non-coplanar 방식으로 치료할 경우, 선량의 평균값이 오른쪽 눈에는 38%, 왼쪽 눈에는 23%, 시신경교차에는 30%, 뇌간에는 27%, 정상 뇌에는 8% 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 결 론: Coplanar 방식의 IMRT 치료만 가능한 토모테라피는 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 종양이 결정장기 주위에 있거나 고선량으로 치료해야 하는 경우 인위적으로 머리를 기울이고 구강고정기구를 함께 사용하여 환자의 움직임을 최소화하면서 non-coplanar 방식을 적절히 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A study was conducted to investigate the release pattern of zinc form the zinc containing boluses and to see whether the released zinc can cure a zinc deficiency in sheep. Three sheep were used in this experiment and were fed a low zinc semi-synthetic diet throughout the experimental period. Each sheep was given a single pre-weighed zinc containing bolus when blood variables showed continuous zinc deficiency. The zinc containing boluses when placed within the reticulo-rumen of zinc deficient sheep, release zinc at the rate of 106.6 mg zinc/day for 39 days. At the end of depletion period there was a reduced feed consumption, plasma zinc concentration, plasma alkaline phosphatase activity and increased plasma zinc binding capacity which were 409 g, 0.18 mg/l, 87 U/l and 88.7% respectively and 521 g, 0.18 mg/l, 142 U/l, and 89.5% respectively before first and second blousing. After the administration of the first and second boluses, the feed consumption, plasma zinc levels and plasma alkaline phosphatase activities rose rapidly and far exceeded the starting values. The zinc binding capacity was reduced to 21.9% due to the administration of the first and second boluses. It is concluded that zinc boluses can be used for curing a zinc deficiency in sheep.

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dihydropyridine on laying performance and fat metabolism of laying hens. Five hundred and forty laying hens, 40 weeks old, were randomly allotted to three groups, each of which included four replicates of 45 hens. The groups were given a basal corn-soybean meal diet supplemented with 0, 150 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg dihydropyridine. Results showed that compared with the control group (0 mg/kg dihydropyridine), supplements of 150 and 300 mg/kg dihydropyridine increased egg production rate by 9.39% (p<0.01) and 12.97% (p<0.01), increased mean egg weight by 3% (p>0.05) and 4.8% (p>0.05), and improved feed efficiency by 9.54% (p<0.05) and 7.25% (p<0.05), respectively; The addition of 150 and 300 mg/kg dihydropyridine decreased percentage of abdominal fat by 35.4% (p<0.05) and 46.9% (p<0.05), decreased liver fat content by 32.4% (p<0.05) and 10.5% (p<0.05), increased HSL activity of abdominal fat by 39.64% (p<0.05) and 48.48% (p<0.05), increased HSL activity of liver by 9.4% (p>0.05) and 47.34% (p<0.05) and increased the content of cAMP in adenohypophysis by 14.67% (p<0.05) and 10.91% (p<0.05), respectively; The inclusion of 150 mg/kg dihydropyridine increased liver superoxide dismutase activity by 69.61% (p<0.05), and increased hepatic apoB concentration by 53.96% (p<0.05); The supplementation of 150 or 300 mg/kg dihydropyridine decreased malondialdehyde concentration of hepatic mitochondria by 30.90% (p<0.01) and 10.39% (p<0.05), respectively; Supplemented dihydropyridine had no significant effects on TG, Ch HDL-C and VLDL-C concentrations in serum; addition of 150 or 300 mg/kg dihydropyridine increased T3 levels in serum by 15.34% (p<0.05) and 11.88% (p<0.05) and decreased insulin concentration by 40.44% (p<0.05) and 54.37% (p<0.05), respectively. The results demonstrated that adding dihydropyridine had the tendency of improving very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) content in the ovary. It was concluded that dihydropyridine could improve laying performance and regulate the fat metabolism of laying hens and that 150 mg/kg dihydropyridine is the optimum dose for laying birds in practical conditions.

A simple, rapid method for determining amoxicillin (AMO) and ampicillin (AMP) in aquatic products (flatfish, salmon, shrimp, tilapia, and yellow croaker) was evaluated. For quantification, the AMO and AMP ions at m/z 348.9 and 105.9, respectively, were selected. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for detecting AMO were 0.09 and $0.25\;{\mu}g/L$, respectively. The respective values for AMP were 0.02 and $0.05\;{\mu}g/L$. After $100\;{\mu}g/L$ AMO treatment, the level decreased 10% after 7 days at $5^{\circ}C$, while it decreased 20% at $25^{\circ}C$. After 7 days, 94.9.100% of $100\;{\mu}g/L$ AMP remained after storage at $5^{\circ}C$, while 62.3.100% remained after storage at $25^{\circ}C$. Using the food code method, the recovery of AMO ranged from 64.1.92.0% and that of AMP from 44.8.86.2%. With a protein centrifugation method, the recovery of AMO ranged from 39.8.87.9% and that of AMP from 78.0.98.1%. With liquid-liquid extraction, the recovery of AMO ranged from 36.5.88.3% and that of AMP from 31.8.75.1%.

Serine proteases are the most versatile proteolytic enzymes with tremendous applications in various industrial processes. This study was designed to investigate the biochemical properties, critical residues, and the catalytic potential of alkaline serine protease using in-silico approaches. The primary sequence was analyzed using ProtParam, SignalP, and Phyre2 tools to investigate biochemical properties, signal peptide, and secondary structure, respectively. The three-dimensional structure of the enzyme was modeled using the MODELLER program present in Discovery Studio followed by Molecular Dynamics simulation using GROMACS 5.0.7 package with CHARMM36m force field. The proteolytic potential was measured by performing docking with casein- and keratin-enriched residues, while the effect of the inhibitor was studied using phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, (PMSF) applying GOLDv5.2.2. Molecular weight, instability index, aliphatic index, and isoelectric point for serine protease were 39.53 kDa, 27.79, 82.20 and 8.91, respectively. The best model was selected based on the lowest MOLPDF score (1382.82) and DOPE score (-29984.07). The analysis using ProSA-web revealed a Z-score of -9.7, whereas 88.86% of the residues occupied the most favored region in the Ramachandran plot. Ser327, Asp138, Asn261, and Thr326 were found as critical residues involved in ligand binding and execution of biocatalysis. Our findings suggest that bioengineering of these critical residues may enhance the catalytic potential of this enzyme.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the chemical composition and amino acid (AA) digestibility of sunflower seed meal (SFSM) and to use this data to develop prediction equations for estimating AA digestibility for growing pigs. Ten SFSM were collected from five provinces in China. Twelve barrows ($38.8{\pm}4.6kg$), fitted with ileal T-cannula were allotted into two $6{\times}6$ Latin square designs. Each of six experimental periods comprised a 5-d adaption period followed by a 2-d collection of ileal digesta. The ten test diets contained 50% SFSM as the sole source of AA. Another nitrogen-free diet was used to measure the basal endogenous losses of crude protein (CP) and AA. Chromic oxide (0.3%) was used as an inert marker in each diet. There was considerable variation (CV>10%) among the ten SFSM in chemical composition (dry matter [DM]). The concentration of CP and ether extract (EE) ranged from 29.33% to 39.09% and 0.88% to 11.33%, respectively. Crude fibre (CF), neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre ranged from 21.46% to 36.42%, 38.15% to 55.40%, and 24.59% to 37.34%, respectively. There was variation among the ten SFSM in apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) for lysine and threonine, which ranged from 63.16 to 79.21 and 55.19% to 72.04% for AID and 67.03% to 82.07% and 61.97% to 77.01% for SID, respectively. The variation in CP and methionine ranged from 60.13% to 74.72% and 74.79% to 88.60% for AID and 66.70% to 79.31% and 77.16% to 90.27% for SID, respectively. Methionine was a good indicator to predict AA digestibility. These results indicate that conventional chemical composition of SFSM was variable (CV>10%) among the ten SFSM (DM). The results of AID, SID and prediction equations could be used to evaluate the digestibility of SFSM in growing pigs.
