The patients who were treated with the moxifloxacinbased triple therapy(oral 20 mg rabeprazole b.i.d., 1000 mg amoxicillin b.i.d., and 400 mg moxifloxacin q.d.) for 7 d were assigned to the RAM-7 group(n = 79) while those who took them for 14 days were assigned to RAM-14 group(n = 81). The eradication rates for both groups were determined by intentionto-treat(ITT) and per-protocol(PP) analyses. ITT analysis compared the treatment groups as originally allocated while the PP analysis including only those patients who had completed the treatment as originally allocated. Successful eradication therapy for H. pylori infection was defined as the documentation of a negative 13C-urea breath test 4 wk after the end of the eradication treatment.RESULTS: The overall ITT eradication rate was 76.2%(122/160). The final ITT eradication rates were 70.8%(56/79; 95%CI: 63.3%-77.1%) in the RAM-7 group and 81.4%(66/81; 95%CI: 74.6%-88.3%) in the RAM-14 group(P = 0.034). The overall PP eradication rate was 84.1%(122/145), and the final PP eradication rates were 77.7%(56/72; 95%CI: 70.2%-85.3%) in the RAM-7 group and 90.4%(66/73; 95%CI: 82.8%-98.1%) in the RAM-14 group(P = 0.017). The H. pylori-eradication rates in the RAM-14 group were significantly higher compared with that of the RAM-7 group according to both the ITT(P = 0.034) and the PP analyses(P = 0.017). Both groups exhibited good treatment compliance(RAM-7/RAM-14 group: 100%/100%). The adverse event rates were19.4%(14/72)and 20.5%(15/73)in the RAM-7 and RAM-14 groups,respectively(P=0.441).Adverse events occurred in 14 of the 72 patients(19.4)in the RAM-7 group and in 15 of the 73 patients(20.5)in the RAM-14 group.No statistically significant differences(P=0.441)were observed.CONCLUSION:The 14-d moxifloxacin-based triple therapy is a significantly more effective secondline eradication treatment as compared to the 7-d alternative for H.pylori infection in South Korea.展开更多
The phase behaviors of toluene/polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mixture systems were investigated with a continuous-flow type apparatus at 573.2, 598.2, 623.2 and 648.2 K, while the pressure changed from 1 to 5MPa.

The pseudo-binary phase behaviors were predicted with the Peng-Robinson equation of state with interaction parameters between toluene and pseudo-components considered. The phase diagrams of the system have been classified following the category of phase boundary diagram models. The extraction selectivity and efficiency of tolu-ene as a solvent was discussed by comparing with that of hexane. The prediction model for selectivity was also suggested.展开更多

The proteinyield of alkali-aided processing is higher than those of conventional and acid-aided processing. The addition of sarcoplasmicprotein increases the breaking force and deformation value. The breaking force of recovered protein gel from alkali-aidedprocessing is decreased by the addition of NaCl. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) re-vealed that fish protein of alkali is similar to that at pH 7.0. Alkali-aided processing for recovering fish protein is a valuablemethod for increasing the utilization of frozen and pelagic fishes and for making kamaboko products.展开更多
