Objective : This experimental studies were done to research the effects of Bojungikgi-tang added Magnoliae Flos on the pulmonary thromboembolism and delayed allergy response. Methods : Healthy rats were devided into each group. This test is to inject sodium arachidonic acid to one group, and ADP(adenocine diphophate) to the other one afterward to compare the survival rate between each other. Delayed allergy response test is to inject PC(picryl chloride) to one group and measure the thickness of their ears, to inject SRBC(sheep red blood cell) allergen to the other, and measure their foot edema, and compare the each other rates Results : The extract of the Bojungikgi-tang added Magnoliae Flos revealed significant effect on the pulmonary thromboembolism induced by sodium arachidonate, or adenocine diphophate(ADP). And the extract of the Bojungikgi-tang added Magnoliae Flos revealed significant effect on delayed type hypersensitivity induced by picryl chloride(PC), or sheep red blood cell(SRBC). Conclusions : According to the above findings it is suggested that the extract of the Bojungikgi-tang added Magnoliae Flos revealed significant effect on the delayed type hypersensitivity and effect on the pulmonary thromboembolism.
