Abstract
This study attempted to investigate the effects of Sojagangkitang and Gamisojagangkitang on the variation of lung thiobarbituric acid(TBA) value, tracheal glycoprotein, serum sodium ion$(Na^+)$ contents, serum potassium ion$(K^+)$ contents ; immediatly type allergy reaction, delayed type allergy reaction in rats and mice. The results were as follows: 1. Sojagangkitang and Gami-sojagangkitang revealed significant effect on immediatly type hypersensitivity responds to histamine. 2. Sojagangkitang and Gami-sojagangkitang revealed significant effect on delayed type hypersensitivity responds to picryl chloride. 3. Sojagangkitang and Gami-sojagangkitang revealed significant effect on delayed type hypersensitivity responds to SRBC, effect of Gami-sojagangkitang was outstanding. 4. Lung thiobarbituric acid(TBA) value was decreased with statistical significance. 5. Sojagangkitang and Gami-sojagangkitang revealed decreasing effect on Tracheal glycoprotein contents, effect of Gami-sojagangkitang was outstanding. 6. Sojagangkitang and Gami-sojagangkitang revealed decreasing effect on phenol red excretion of respiratory tract. 7. Viscosity of mucine solution was decreased in proportion to increasing dosage of the Sample. 8. Serum $Na^+$ contents was not recognized significance. 9. Sojagangkitang and Gami-sojagangkitang revealed decreasing effect on Serum $K^+$ contents, effect of Gami-sojagangkitang were outstanding. According to the above results, it seems that Sojagangkitang and Gami-sojagangkitang can be applied for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, allergic respiratory diseases.
