The ichthyofauna and structure of the fish community of Hapcheon Lake on the Hwang River were surveyed at six localities from May 2004 to Feb. 2005. There were 36 species belonging to 31 genera and 12 families in the Hapcheon Lake system. Of these, 24 species (66.7%) were cyprinids; cobitids and centropomids were next with 2 species (5.6%) each. The dominant species in the Hapcheon Lake system was Hemiculter eigenmanni (relative abundance 28.4%), the subdominant species Hemibarbus labeo (24.1%). Ten species (28.3%) of the 36 were Korean endemic species. Among the endemic species, H. eigenmanni and Squalidus chankaensis tsuchigae were abundant at each locality except site 6, but the eight other species were rare. In biomass, H. labeo comprised about 36.5% of the total weight, H. eigenmanni 22.3%, Cyprinus carpio 7.5%, Hypomesus nipponensis 6.9%, Culter brevicauda 3.7% and Lepomis macrochirus 3.6%. Average dominance, diversity, and evenness index of the fish community collected from six localities in the Hapcheon Lake system were 0.21, 0.85, and 0.67, respectively.

To investigate the effects of protein concentration, heat treatment and pH on the foaming properties of sodium caseinate, surface tension, apparent viscosity, turbidity, foaming ability and foam stability at 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0 and 10.0% (W/V), at 55 and $65^{\circ}C$ and at pH 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 were examined. The conditions of protein concentrations for the foaming abilities were $3.0{\sim}7.0%$ (W/V). Foam stabilities of heated sodium caseinates were worse than those of unheated sodium caseinates (control) at pH6.0 and 7.0 (p<0.05), while the heated one were better than the unheated at pH 8.0, 10.0% concentrations (p<0.05). Also foam stabilities of sodium caseinate at pH 6.0 were higher than those at pH 7.0 and 8.0. Foaming ability and foam stability were inconsistently effected by changing protein concentration, heat treatment and pH.

The inhibition of cholesterol autoxidation by commercial ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol (0, 50, 100, and 300 ppm) was studied in an aqueous model system for 20 h at pH 5.5 and $80^{\circ}C$. The inhibition effectiveness of the commercial ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol was followed by the retention of cholesterol and the formation of C-7 oxidized cholesterol derivatives (OCDs). Changes in the amount of ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol in the aqueous system were determined during cholesterol autoxidation. A method to detect the levels of 7-ketocholesterol, $7{\alpha}$-hydroxycholesterol and $7{\beta}$-hydroxycholesterol in an aqueous model system with ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol was developed by using the hexane-ethyl acetate extraction system and high-performance liquid chromatography. Results showed that the levels of C-7 OCDs in an aqueous dispersion containing 300 ppm of ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol were not significantly (p>0.05) increased, when compared to other treatments (0, 50, and 100 ppm), during the accelerated cholesterol oxidation.

A new series of 7-deazapurine derivatives[7,8] as purine antagonists was prepared. Diethyl 4-cyano-N-(diphenyimethylene)-3-arylglutamate[3] were synthesized by LDA-catalyzed Michael addition of N-(diphenylrnethylene)glycine ethyl ester with (E)-2-cyano-3-arylacrylate. Deprotection yields diethyl 4-cyano-3-arylglutamate, which were easily cyclized to 4-cyano-2-ethoxycarbonyl-5-oxo-3-arylpyrrolidine[4]. The compounds[4] were treated with NaBH$_{4}$ and then with (C$_{2}$H$_{5}$)$_{3}$OBF$_{4}$ to give 4-cyano-5-ethoxy-2H-2-ethoxymethyl-3-aryl-3,4-dihydropyrrole[6], which were converted to 7-aryl-6-amino-8-ethoxymethyl-7,8-dihydro-7(3H, 9H)-deazapurine-2-thione[7] and 7-aryl-2,6-diamino-8-ethoxymethyl-7,8-dihydro-7(9H)-deazapurine[8] with possible activity against neoplastic disease.

The thermal stability and elevated temperature mechanical properties of $SiC_P$/Al-11.7Fe-1.3V-1.7Si (Al-11.7Fe-1.3V-1.7Si reinforced with SiC particulates) composites sheets prepared by spray deposition (SD) $\rightarrow$ hot pressing $\rightarrow$ rolling process were investigated. The experimental results showed that the composite possessed high ${\sigma}_b$ (elevated temperature tensile strength), for instance, ${\sigma}_b$ was 315.8 MPa, which was tested at $315^{\circ}C$, meanwhile the figure was 232.6 MPa tested at $400^{\circ}C$, and the elongations were 2.5% and 1.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the composite sheets exhibited excellent thermal stability: the hardness showed no significant decline after annealing at $550^{\circ}C$ for 200 h or at $600^{\circ}C$ for 10 h. The good elevated temperature mechanical properties and excellent thermal stability should mainly be attributed to the formation of spherical ${\alpha}-Al_{12}(Fe,\;V)_3Si$ dispersed phase particulates in the aluminum matrix. Furthermore, the addition of SiC particles into the alloy is another important factor, which the following properties are responsible for. The resultant Si of the reaction between Al matrix and SiC particles diffused into Al matrix can stabilize ${\alpha}-Al_{12}(Fe,\;V)_3Si$ dispersed phase; in addition, the interface (Si layer) improved the wettability of Al/$SiC_P$, hence, elevated the bonding between them. Furthermore, the fine $Al_4C_3$ phase also strengthened the matrix as a dispersion-strengthened phase. Meanwhile, load is transferred from Al matrix to SiC particles, which increased the cooling rate of the melt droplets and improved the solution strengthening and dispersion strengthening.

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of practical variations in feed restriction, pre-slaughter handing and chilling regime on pork quality during ageing. A total of twenty male landraces were allocated into three treatments(i.e., pre-slaughter feeding, stress and chilling regime) in a factorial arrangement. pH, temperature, free calcium ions, WB-shear force, sarcomere length, cooking loss, drip loss and objective color were determined during rigor development and/or 1, 3, 7 d postmortem. Pre-slaughter chasing stress for approximately 15 min had no effects on pH/temperature profile and objective meat quality. There was an interaction(P < 0.05) between the fasting treatment and chi1ling regime for muscle temperature at pH 6.2. Sarcomere length indicated that the current experiment conditions did not induce muscle shortening, with 1.7 to 1.8 ${\mu}m$, in spite of a significant effect of the fasting treatment (P<0.01). Pigs fed until the morning of slaughter showed a low WB-shear force(P < 0.05) until 3 d at I "C. The treatment also resulted in a higher Hunter L* and a*(P < 0.05) at 24 h and 7 d. Fasted pigs showed a significantly(P < 0.05) reduced cooking loss. The current results indicated that feeding upon the morning of slaughter became detrimental on meat color and the negative effect on cooking loss were linearly elevated with increased ageing time. On the other hand, WB-shear force did not distinguishable after 3 d. Collectively, it appeared that feed restriction from a day before slaughter could produce more a desirable meat quality at the time of consuming. However, the limited effect of animal handling and chilling rate on meat quality is not necessarily to extend to that these do not affect pork quality, as that largely depends on experimental design.

Background: Levofloxacin is an effective medication for second line Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication. However, limited studies have approved its use as an effective antibiotic in first line therapy. Dexlansoprazole is a new PPI and lacks of evidence in support of a role in H. pylori eradication. This study was designed to evaluate efficacy of levofloxacin-dexlansoprazole-based quadruple therapy for H. pylori eradication in Thailand. Materials and Methods: This prospective randomized control study was performed during June 2014 to December 2014. H. pylori infected gastritis patients were randomized to receive 7- or 14-day levofloxacin-dexlansoprazole based on quadruple therapy (levofloxacin 500 mg OD, dexlansoprazole 60 mg bid, clarithromycin MR 1000 mg OD, bismuth subsalicylate 1048 mg bid). CYP2C19 genotyping and antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted for all patients. A 13C urea breath test was performed to confirm H. pylori eradication at least 4 weeks after treatment. Results: A total of 100 patients were enrolled, comprising 44 males and 56 females (mean age of 52.6 years). Eradication rate by PP analysis was 85.7% (42/49) with the 7-day regimen and 98% (48/49) with the 14-day regimen (85.7% vs 98%; p-value=0.059). ITT analysis was 84% and 96% with 7- and 14-day regimens, respectively (84% vs 96%; p-value=0.092). Antibiotic susceptibility testing demonstrated 35.1% resistance to metronidazole, 18.3% to clarithromycin, and 13.5% to levofloxacin. CYP2C19 genotyping revealed 54.1% RM, 34.7% IM and 11.2% PM. The 14-day regimen provided 100% eradication in patients with clarithromycin or dual clarithromycin and metronidazole H. pylori resistant strains. Moreover, the eradication rate was 96.6% in patients with CYP2C19 genotype RM. Conclusions: The 14-day levofloxacin-dexlansoprazole based quadruple therapy provides high H. pylori eradication regardless of CYP2C19 genotype, clarithromycin or dual clarithromycin and metronidazole resistant strains. This regimen could be use as an alternative first line therapy for H. pylori eradication in Thailand.
