A Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Study of Esomeprazole Comparing a Dual Delayed-Release Formulation (YYD601) to a Conventional Formulation Following Multiple Administrations in Healthy Adult Subjects.

Background: YYD601 is a new dual delayed-release formulation of esomeprazole, developed to enhance plasma exposure and prolong the duration of acid suppression.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of YYD601 20 mg following single and multiple oral administrations in healthy, fasting adult Koreans, and to compare these outcomes to those of the conventional esomeprazole 20 mg capsule.

Methods: A randomized, open-label, two-period crossover study was conducted in 28 participants, who were divided into two treatment groups: one group received YYD601 20 mg, and the other received conventional esomeprazole 20 mg, once daily for five consecutive days.

Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous Sodium Taurodeoxycholate, HY209, a GPCR19 Agonist Inhibiting Inflammasomal Activation.

Background: HY209 is a synthesized sodium taurodeoxycholate (TDCA) that is expected to serve as a novel treatment for sepsis by inhibiting the inflammasomal activation that suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This study aimed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PKs) of HY209 after intravenous administration in healthy subjects.

Methods: A dose-block randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study was conducted.

Feasibility and Safety of ArtiSential for Minimally Invasive Surgery in Early-stage Gynecologic Cancer: Results from the KGOG 4002/GYANT Study.

Objectives: The objective is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of ArtiSential for performing minimally invasive surgeries for gynecological cancers.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study at 10 Tertiary Institutional Hospitals in Korea between November 2021 and April 2022. Eligible patients were 18 years or older and planned to undergo minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic cancer.

A collaborative study to establish the second national standard for antithrombin concentrate in Korea.

This study aimed to establish a second national standard for antithrombin (AT) concentrate that can be used for potency assays of AT products. A collaborative study was conducted involving four laboratories, including national control laboratories and manufacturers in Korea, and the suitability of a candidate material to serve as the second national standard for AT concentrate was evaluated. The candidate material was manufactured using a process approved for Good Manufacturing Practices.

The MCP-3/Ccr3 axis contributes to increased bone mass by affecting osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation.

Several CC subfamily chemokines have been reported to regulate bone metabolism by affecting osteoblast or osteoclast differentiation. However, the role of monocyte chemotactic protein 3 (MCP-3), a CC chemokine, in bone remodeling is not well understood. Here, we show that MCP-3 regulates bone remodeling by promoting osteoblast differentiation and inhibiting osteoclast differentiation.
