Ghent, 16 January 2015 The promoto r The author Prof. Dr. Bart De Spiegeleer Matthias D’Hondt . 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Writing this doctoral thesis would have been impossible without the help and support of many people. First of all, I would like to thank my promoter, prof. Dr. Bart De Spiegeleer , for passing along or rather infecting me with his interests in peptide medicines and analytical technology. From our first meeting, his enthusiastic, stimulating and science-driven state-of-mind was immediately clear. Our countless discussions throughout the past few years have thought me invaluable lessons in numerous pharmaceutical (and other) aspects and were crucial for this work. It was a real honour completing this thesis under his guidance and hope that we may continue working together in the future, one way or the other. I also like to express my sincere gratitude to the members of the reading and examination committee (i.e. prof. Dr. Jean Paul Remon as chairman, prof. Dr. Deirdre Cabooter, prof. Dr. Catherine Delesalle, prof. Dr. Ralf Hoffmann, prof. Dr. Chris Vervaet, prof. Dr. Bruno De Geest and prof. Dr. Marleen Temmerman) for taking the time to read this work with a critical view; the fruitful, dynamic and open-minded discussions revealed aspects which were suited for improvement and truly pushed the quality of this thesis to a higher level. I would also like to acknowledge the Ghent University and IWT (Instituut voor Innovatie door Wetenschap en Technologie Vlaanderen; mandate 101529), who provided me with the necessary funding. Without their financial help, it would have been impossible for me to pursue and successfully complete this Ph.D. project. Next, I am grateful to my former DruQuaR colleagues Dr. Valentijn Vergote and Dr. Sylvia Van Dorpe, for familiarizing me with peptide mass spectrometry. Dr. Jente Boonen, Elien Vangheluwe and the previous lab technicians for guiding me during my first few months, teaching me the ropes of chromatography, and Dr. Bram Baert for introducing me into the quality assurance aspect of the DruQuaR lab. My gratitude also goes out to my present colle agues for their support during experiments and writing, scientific discussions, fun intermezzo’s and the general DruQuaR atmosphere: Dr. Evelien Wynendaele, Mathieu Verbeken, Nathalie Bracke, Sultan Suleman, Sofie Stalmans, Kirsten Vandercruyssen, Lieselotte Veryser, Lien Taevernier, Bert Gevaert, Frederick Verbeke, Han Hao, Xiaolong Xu and Marianne Lauwers. 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Furthermore, I would like to thank the people I worked with during our collaborations. I’m grateful to Bart De Spiegeleer Jr. for his help in the relative response factor calculations, Dr. Herwig Jansen (Dafra Pharma International), Dr. Ilse Koijen and Dr. Jacques van Gompel (both Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V) for providing necessary drug substances and their help in the AMES test experiments. I’m also indebted to Dr. Maria Fedorova (University of Leipzig, Faculty of Chemistry) for her help in identifying the peptide degradants and prof. Dr. Chien-Yu Peng (Academia Sinica, Institute of Statistical Science) for his contribution to the kinetic degradation models. I’m very thankful to Pieter Wuytens and prof. Dr. Andre Skirtach (UGhent, Department of Molecular Biotechnology) for the confocal Raman images of the implant and Dr. Steven Mullens (Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO)) for the R a determination of the mortar surfaces. I wish to thank my friends for providing timely distractions and sometimes showing me there’s more to life than work, be it at my tennis club or whilst attending a football game. Last but foremost, I wish to thank my family , especially my parents and sister, for their encouragement, help and support during this long “school” career and their understanding nature.

It expresses Molina's determination as to whether certain services or supplies are medically necessary, experimental, investigational, or cosmetic for purposes of determining appropriateness of payment. The conclusion that a particular service or supply is medically necessary does not constitute a representation or warranty that this service or supply is covered (i.e., will be paid for by Molina) for a particular member. The member's benefit plan determines coverage. Each benefit plan defines which services are covered, which are excluded, and which are subject to dollar caps or other limits. Members and their providers will need to consult the member's benefit plan to determine if there are any exclusion(s) or other benefit limitations applicable to this service or supply. If there is a discrepancy between this policy and a member's plan of benefits, the benefits plan will govern. In addition, coverage may be mandated by applicable legal requirements of a State, the Federal government or CMS for Medicare and Medicaid members. CMS's Coverage Database can be found on the CMS website. The coverage directive(s) and criteria from an existing National Coverage Determination (NCD) or Local Coverage Determination (LCD) will supersede the contents of this Molina medical coverage policy (MCP) document and provide the directive for all Medicare members.

  • Gastric Secretory and Plasma Hormonal Responses to Sham-Feeding of Varying Duration in Patients with Duodenal Ulcer
    Gut: first published as 10.1136/gut.22.12.1003 on 1 December 1981. Downloaded from Gut, 1981, 22,1003-1010 Gastric secretory and plasma hormonal responses to sham-feeding of varying duration in patients with duodenal ulcer S J KONTUREK,* J SWIERCZEK, N KWIECIEN, W OBTUTOWICZ, M DOBRZANSKA, B KOPP, AND J OLEKSY From the Institute ofPhysiology, Medica, Academy, Krakow, and District Hospital, Krakow, Poland SUMMARY Gastric acid and serum gastrin, pancreatic polypeptide, and insulin responses to cephalic vagal stimulation were studied in eight patients with duodenal ulcer using modified sham- feeding for periods varying from four to 30 minutes. In addition, the maximal acid response to sham-feeding was compared with that induced by pentagastrin in 10 healthy subjects and 14 patients with duodenal ulcer. It was found that the gastric acid response to modified sham-feeding reached the maximal value after 15 minutes of sham-feeding and amounted to about 68% of the pentagastrin maximum. The serum pancreatic polypeptide response was also increased after modified sham-feeding and depended on the duration of this procedure, whereas gastrin and insulin responses were not significantly affected by modified sham-feeding. When the peak acid output induced by modified sham-feeding was normalised as percentage of the peak response to pentagastrin, it was similar in healthy subjects and in patients with duodenal ulcer; this indicates that the increased peak acid response to modified sham-feeding observed in patients with duodenal ulcer corresponded with

Due to the slow-growing nature of these tumors and the lack of early symptoms, most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, when curative treatment options are no longer available. Prognosis and survival of patients with NETs are determined by the location of the primary lesion, biochemical functional status, differentiation, initial staging, and response to treatment. Somatostatin analogue (SSA) therapy has been a mainstay of antisecretory therapy in functioning neuroendocrine tumors, which cause various clinical symptoms depending on hormonal hypersecretion. Beyond symptomatic management, recent research demonstrates that SSAs exert antiproliferative effects and inhibit tumor growth via the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2).
