To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of compound K after oral administration of HYFRG and RG in humans, an open-label, randomized, single-dose, fasting, and one-period pharmacokinetic study was conducted. After oral administration of a single 3 g dose of HYFRG and RG to 24 healthy Korean males, the mean (±SD) ofAUC0–tandCmaxof compound K from HYFRG were 1466.83 ± 295.89 ng·h/mL and 254.45 ± 51.20 ng/mL, being 115.2- and 80-fold higher than those for RG (12.73 ± 7.83 ng·h/mL and 3.18 ± 1.70 ng/mL), respectively; in case of Sprague Dawley rats the mean (±SD) ofAUC0–tandCmaxof compound K from HYFRG was 58.03 ± 32.53 ng·h/mL and 15.19 ± 10.69 ng/mL, being 6.3- and 6.0-fold higher than those from RG (9.21 ± 7.52 ng·h/mL and 2.55 ± 0.99 ng/mL), respectively.Tmaxof compound K in humans and rats was 2.54 ± 0.92 and 3.33 ± 0.50 h for HYFRG and 9.11 ± 1.45 and 6.75 ± 3.97 hours for RG, respectively. In conclusion, the administration of HYFRG resulted in a higher and faster absorption of compound K in both humans and rats compared to RG.

ABSTRACT Background: Infertility may give an impact on psychosocial. In Indonesia, the habit of consuming young dates is often done by couples to increase fertility. FSH is one of the factors that play a role in folliculogenesis. The lack of scientific evidence of young dates consumption effects on female reproduction has led to this study. This study aims to determine the levels of FSH hormone and the picture of ovarian tissue in mice after administration of young dates. Method: This study used an experimental design using 28 female Sprague-Dawley rats which were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group I to III was given young dates in successive doses: 17 mg, 34 mg, 68 mg per 200 grams of body weight and group IV was given distilled water. The treatment was carried out for 28 days. FSH levels were examined before treatment during the proestrus phase which was known from microscopic examination of rat vaginal swabs. The treatment begins during the proestrus phase. Result: The mean baseline and post-treatment FSH levels were 0.08 and 0.09 respectively Conclusion: There is no significant increase of FSH levels and FSH receptors as the effect of giving young dates (Phoenix Dactylifera) to female Sprague-Dawley rats Keywords: Dates, FSH, FSH receptors, Rats   ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Infertilitas dapat memberikan dampak psikososial. Di Indonesia, kebiasaan mengkonsumsi kurma muda sering dilakukan oleh pasangan untuk meningkatkan kesuburan. Hormon FSH merupakan salah satu faktor yang berperan dalam folikelgenesis.  Belum adanya bukti ilmiah efek konsumsi buah kurma muda terhadap reproduksi wanita mendorong dilakukannya studi ini. Studi ini bertujuan mengetahui kadar hormon FSH dan gambaran jaringan ovarium pada tikus setelah pemberian kurma muda. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain ekperimental menggunakan tikus Sprague dawney betina sebanyak 28 ekor yang dibagi secara acak menjadi 4 kelompok. Kelompok I-III diberikan kurma muda dosis berturut -turut 17 mg, 34 mg, 68 mg per 200 gram BB dan kelompok IV diberikan aquadest. Perlakuan dilakukan selama 28 hari. Kadar hormon FSH diperiksa sebelum perlakuan saat fase proestrus yang diketahui dari pemeriksaan mikroskopis swab vagina tikus. Perlakuan dimulai saat fase proestrus. Hasil: Rerata kadar FSH baseline dan paska perlakuan adalah 0,08 dan 0,09 Kesimpulan: Tidak terdapat peningkatan yang signifikan kadar FSH dan reseptor FSH terhadap efek pemberian buah kurma muda (Phoenix Dactylifera) pada uterus tikus Spague Dawney Kata kunci : kurma, FSH, Reseptor FSH, tikus

To develop a mathematical model of the distribution and metabolism of rat corticotropin-releasing factor (rCRF), the time course of 125I-labelled rCRF in plasma was measured in male Sprague–Dawley rats (i) following a rapid injection of 24 ng rCRF/100 g body weight (BW), or (ii) following a rapid injection of 424 ng rCRF/100 g BW, or (iii) during an infusion at a rate ranging from 0.28 to0.73 ng rCRF∙min−1∙100 g BW−1. The comparison of the one-, two-, and three-compartment models shows that the two-pool structure fits better to the dynamics of CRF in plasma as measured in each rat. Following a rapid injection the decay curve occurs in a biphasic manner; the early phase of disappearance is 25 times faster than the late one. There is no significant difference between the estimates of the metabolic clearance rate following both amplitudes of injection (0.40 ± 0.06 and 0.48 ± 0.05 mL∙min−1∙100 g BW−1). The volume of the first pool, 16.8 ± 1.1 mL/100 g BW, is four times larger than the plasma volume. It would thus appear that CRF is rapidly distributed from plasma into several tissues which are represented in the first pool of the model. The mean residence time of every CRF molecule in the second compartment, from the moment of secretion to its elimination, is from three to four times longer than in the first one. It stays, on average, between 140 min and 3 h in the system before an irreversible exit. At steady state, the disposal rate represents only 3% of the CRF mass of the first compartment every minute. These results could explain the prolonged effects of CRF on pituitary-adrenocortical secretion.

Background For surgeons learning microsurgery, uneven spacing between sutures while performing microvascular arterial anastomoses is one of the most common technical errors made that can lead to leakage. Based on the previous surgical experience and training of these surgeons, the first option chosen to prevent bleeding is to place a vascular clamp proximal to the anastomosis and an additional suture at the site of the leak. Because this technique may have technical and thrombosis concerns, our study proposes an alternative technique of performing post-anastomotic revisions without the use of clamps. Methods Our technique involves placing a cotton-tipped applicator under the artery and lifting it to partially occlude flow within the vessel as an additional suture is placed at the leakage site to complete the revision. One-hundred eighty-four microvascular anastomoses were performed on the femoral arteries of 92 Sprague-Dawley rats, and of the 184 anastomoses, 147 had a leak and required a post-anastomotic revision. All revisions were completed using our technique, and no clamps were used during any of the revisions. Results Of the 147 post-anastomotic revisions completed using our technique, 141 (95.9%) were patent 2 hours post-revision. The mean operating time for the revisions was 5:03 minutes (range, 1:44–6:30 minutes). Conclusion Our technique of partially occluding an artery with a cotton-tipped applicator while performing a post-anastomotic revision is a safe and effective alternative to using vascular clamps. Our technique may also reduce technical errors and have a low risk of causing thrombosis when completing post-anastomotic revisions.
