Methods for the production of L-glufosinate (also known as phosphinothricin or (S)-2 -amino-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphonoyl)butanoic acid) are provided. The methods comprise a two-step process. The first step involves the oxidative deamination of D-glufosinate to PPO (2-oxo-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl)butyric acid). The second step involves the specific amination of PPO to L-glufosinate, using an amine group from one or more amine donors. By combining these two reactions, the proportion of L-glufosinate in a mixture of L-glufosinate and D-glufosinate can be substantially increased.

The present invention provides compositions comprising phosphatidylcholine derived compounds carrying an omega-3 fatty acid for use in prophylaxis or therapy, particularly when administered systemically. This invention further relates to a modified krill oil composition enriched in LPC-DHA and LPC-EPA, methods of making and methods of using to treat neurological and ocular disorders.

A clip dispensing system, clip dispenser, and method is described herein for dispensing and applying clips to tissue during minimally invasive surgery. The system may include a grasping surgical instrument having a shaft and a grasping tool, and a clip dispenser assembled to the shaft. The clip dispenser includes an inner tube surrounded by an outer tube and a plurality of clips housed between the inner tube and the outer tube. The clips include a first jaw, an opposing second jaw, and a cavity between the first jaw and the second jaw. The cavity permits the clip to slide along the length of the shaft and over the grasping tool of the grasping surgical instrument to be clamped onto a grasped piece of tissue with the aid of a second grasping instrument.
