The purpose of this study was to determine the absorption of [13C]5-formyltetrahydrofolic acid across the human colon with an intact microflora. Bioavailability was determined after administration of a pH-dependent acrylic co-polymer coated barium sulphate caplet containing 855 nmol and measuring the plasma appearance of [13C5]5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid compared to an intravenous injection of the same compound (214 nmol). Blood samples serially collected after both test doses were analyzed by microbiological assay and tandem mass spectrometry to determine total folates and ratio of labeled to unlabeled folates, respectively. Caplet disintegration in the colon was quantitatively assessed by fluoroscopic imaging for six of nine subjects. The plasma [13C5]5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid appearance rate was 4 + 0.9 nmol/h (intravenous) and 0.35 + 0.02 nmol/h (caplet). Mean apparent absorption across the colon was 35%. These findings suggest that physiological doses of natural folate are absorbed across the human colon in the presence of an undisturbed microbiota.

Master of Music / Department of School of Music, Theatre, and Dance / Frank Tracz / The following report is a comprehensive analysis of two works for wind band and one work for small chamber ensemble, prepared by Patrick Sullivan. The report was completed in addition to a Graduate Conducting Recital, taking place on Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 3:00pm. The concert featured the Kansas State University Wind Ensemble and took place on the Kansas State University Campus in McCain Auditorium, the conductors were Andrew Feyes and Patrick Sullivan. Audio and video recordings of the conducted performance can be found within the K-State Research Exchange database. The following report includes three comprehensive Unit Studies or Teacher Research Guides found in the Teaching Music Through Performance in Band book series. The report also includes three Tracz Analysis Grids, newly published in The Art of Interpretation of Band Music. The examined pieces are as follows. Full band works, Flight by Claude T. Smith and Baron Cimetiére’s Mambo by Donald Grantham. A chamber work for double woodwind quintet, Suite Persane by André Caplet.
