가토 심실근에서 추출한 mitochondria에서 $Na^+$ 및 $K^+$이온에 의한 $Ca^{++}$ 유리작용을 관찰하였다. 반응액에 첨가한 1-3mM의 소량 $Na^+$은 mitochondria막에 미리 결합되어있던 $Ca^{++}$을 현저히 유리시켰으며, $K^+$은 단독으로는 $Ca^{++}$ 유리를 유도하지 않았으나 $Na^+$에 의한 $Ca^{++}$ 유리에 대하여는 $Na^+/K^+$비에 따라 그것이 클수록 $Ca^{++}$ 유리를 증가시켰다. 간 및 신장 mitochondria에서도 $Na^+$에 의하 $Ca^{++}$ 유리현상을 보였으나 심근mitochondria에 비하여 $Na^+$에 대한 감수성이 훨씬 미약하여 약 $1/10{\sim}1/5$에 지나지 않았다. 이와같은 mitochondria의 $Ca^{++}$ 유리현상은 비교적 $Na^+$에 특이한 작용이었으며 다른 일가양이온중에서는 $Li^+$에 의해서만 어느 정도 보였다. 부전심근 mitochondria에서의 $Na^+$에 의한 $Ca^{++}$유리는 정상심근 mitochondria에서와 같았으며 이때 digitalis 강심배당체가 직접적으로는 별 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이상에서 심근의 경우 mitochondria는 세포내 $Ca^{++}$을 조절할 수 있는 기구로서 심근수축의 E-C coupling과정에서 세포막의 전기적 흥분현상과 결부하여 $Ca^{++}$을 유리할 수 있을 것으로 추정하였으며, 한편 digitalis배당체의 강심작용기전에 있어서는 digitalis 배당체에 의한 세포막의 $Na^+$, $K^+$-ATPase 억제결과 초래될 수 있는 세포내의 $Na^+$ 증가 및(또는) $K^+$감소가 간접적으로 mitochondria에서부터 $Ca^{++}$ 유리를 증가하여 E-C coupling 과정을 촉진할 수 있을 것을 사료하였다.

1) Urethane 마취가토(痲醉家兎)의 내뇌(腦內)(측뇌실(刻腦室) 또는 소뇌연수조내(小腦延髓槽內)에 norepinephrine (NE), clonidine을 주입(注入)할 때 일어나는 심박감소(心搏減少), 혈압하강(血壓下降)에 관한 이들 약물(藥物)의 작용점(作用點)을 조사(調査)할 것을 시도(試圖)하였다. 2) NE의 뇌내주입(腦內注入)은 심박감소(心搏減少)를 일으켰으나 혈압(血壓)에 미치는 영향(影響)은 뚜렷치 않았다. Clonidine은 심박감소(心搏減少), 혈압하강(血壓下降)을 일으켰다. 3) 측뇌실내주입(刻腦室內注入) 소뇌연수조내주입간(小腦延髓槽內注入間)에는 NE, clonidine, phenylephrine, isoproterenol의 심박(心搏), 혈압효과(血壓效果)에 차이(差異)가 없었다. 또 NE에 의한 심박감소효과(心搏減少效果)의 출현(出現)은 소뇌연수조내주입시(小腦延髓槽內注入時) 더 빨랐다. 4) 약(約) 2시간(時間) 간격(間隔)으로 NE를 반복(反復) 주입(注入)할 때 심박효과(心搏效果)에는 거의 변동(變動)이 없었으나 혈압효과(血壓效果)는 반복주입(反復注入)함에 따라 혈압상승효과(血壓上昇效果)가 현저(顯著)히 나타났다. Clonidine의 심박감소(心搏減少) 및 혈압하강효과(血壓下降效果)는 반복주입(反復注入)에 따라 점차 약화(弱化)되었다. 5) NE 주입후(注入後) NE 효과(效果)가 지속(持續)하고 있을 때 clonidine은 더 이상(以上)의 심박감소(心搏減少)를 일으키지 않고, 혈압하강(血壓下降)도 일으키지 않았다. Clonidine 주입후(注入後) clonidine 효과(效果)가 지속(持續)하고 있을 때 NE는 더 이상(以上)의 심박감소(心搏減少)를 일으키지 않았고 현저(顯著)한 혈압상승(血壓上昇)을 일으켰다. 6) Regitine 또는 desmethylimipramine의 뇌내주입후(腦內注入後) NE는 심박(心搏)에 거의 변동(變動)을 일으키지 않았으나 현저(顯著)한 혈압상승(血壓上昇)을 일으켰다. Clonidine은 심박(心搏), 혈압(血壓)에 거의 변동(變動)을 일으키지 않았다. 7) Reserpine 처리가토(處理家兎)에서는 NE는 심박증가(心搏增加)와 혈압상승(血壓上昇)을 일으켰으며, clonidine은 심박(心搏)에는 거의 변동(變動)을 일으키지 않았고 경미(輕微)한 혈압상승(血壓上昇)을 일으켰다. 8) NE 및 clonidine에 의한 심박감소(心搏減少), clonidine에 의한 혈압하강(血壓下降)은 주(主)로 presynaptic ${\alpha}$-adrenoceptor를 중개(仲介)하여 일어나나, NE 및 clonidine에 의한 혈압상승(血壓上昇)은 presynaptic site 이외(以外)의 부위(部位)를 중개(仲介)하여 일어나는것 같다.

It has recently been reported that prostaglandin $(PG)F_{2\alpha}$ produces diruesis and natriuresis when given directly into a lateral ventricle of the brain in rabbits (Kook et al). In this study attempts were made to elucidate the mechanism of the natriuresis utilizing dogs. In mongrel dogs of both sexes weighing 9-l2kg, a lateral ventricle of the cerebrum was cannulated and the agent was delivered in less than 0.2ml of 0.9% saline. $PGF_{2\alpha}$, $100\;{\mu}g$, ivt, elicited mild diuresis, while glomerular filtration rate and systemic blood pressure remained unchanged. In 8 chloralso-anesthetized, hydrated dogs undergoing water diuresis, ivt $PGF_{2\alpha}$ produced antidiuresis concomitant with marked natriuresis, which resembles the action of large doses of Arginine vasopressin in doses of 0.3-1.5mu/kg/min produced marked natriuresis. In 9 experiments, $PGF_{2\alpha}$ was given intraventricularly during the maximal diuresis induced by ADH. The kidney responded with significant natriuresis though less marked and transient than during water diuresis. It is thus concluded that beside ADH still other natriuretic factor(s) may be involved in the natriuresis induced by ivt $PGF_{2\alpha}$ in the dog.

1. guinea-pig 요관(尿管) 평골근(平滑筋)의 수축(收縮) 및 이완반응(弛緩反應) 연령이 증가(增加)에 의(依)하여 크게 영향(影響)을 받는다는 사실(事實)을 관찰(觀察)하였다. 2. 2-3주, 3개월 및 2-3년 guinea-pig 요관(尿管)을 적출하고 Tyrode 액내(液內)에서 train stimulation법(法)으로 일정(一定)하게 수축반응(收縮反應)을 일으킨다. 3. $Ca^{++}$-free Tyrode 액(液)에서 전기자극(電氣刺戟) 반응(反應)이 소실(消失)된 후(後) $Ca^{++}$ 함유(含有) Tyrode 액(液)을 가(加)하여 야기(惹起)되는 수축반응(收縮反應)의 회복(恢復)에는 3개월(個月) 및 2-3년(年) 요관(尿管)에 비(比)하여 2-3주(週) 요관(尿管)은 훨씬 낮은 농도(濃度)의 $Ca^{++}$을 필요(必要)로 하였으며 비록 2.7mM $Ca^{++}$을 가(加)하여도 2-3주(週) 및 3개월(個月) 요관에 있어서는 처음 수축고의 90% 이상을 회복하였으나 2-3년(年) 요관(尿管)에서는 77.2%만 회복하였다. 4.

The effects of sodium taurocholate(STC) and sodium deoxycholate(SDC) on cardiac function were examined by using isolated atria of rabbit and guinea pig and heart of anesthetized frog. Also the antiarrythmic action of STC and SDC on atrial arrhythmias induced by epinephrine or ouabain was studied. The results were following. The cholates exhibited a slight decrease in rate and contractile amplitude of the isolated rabbit atria. The cholates abolished partially the spontaneous arrhythmic occurring in isolated rabbit and guinea pig atria but no effect on the atrial arrhythmia induced by ouabain and epinephrine was observed. Concomitant administration of cholates with ouabain produced a marked prolongation of atrial arrhythmia in comparison to that of ouabain alone in both isolated rabbit and guinea pig atria. The cholates exhibited a marked prolongation in ventricular arrhythmia and cardiac arrest time in comparison to that of ouabain treatment. However, the combined treatment with cholates and ouabain produced a slight prolongation in comparison to that of ouabain alone in the heart of anesthetized frog. The above results suggest that cholates have a slight antiarrythmic effect on the heart but this effectiveness is different from those of propranolol that is non-selective antiarrhythmic drug.

Recently, a major resection of the pancreas has been carried out not only to treat carcinoma of pancreas but also chronic pancreatitis. But limited and often contradictory reports have been made on the exocrine effects after partial surgical pancreatectomy in mammals. It was suggested that the growth of the residual tissue in pancreatectomized rat is very active, because pancreas has the great power of regeneration after partial pancreatectomy, while others observed that rat pancreas after partial surgical resection revealed a perplexing mixture of atrophy and regeneration of acinar tissue. On the other hand, another results showed that the amount of insulin required to control diabetes after partial resection of pancreas is much greater than that needed after total pancreatectomy. Because the anti-insulin system, such as glucagon secretion and hypophyseoadrenal function, is probably depressed after total pancreatectomy. Furthermore, minimal resection line which will not influence the normal function of pancreas is not agreeable, such 75%, 80% or 95% resection of the total pancreas in rat. So far, studies on the exocrine function other than endocrine function after partial pancreatectomy have been limited. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to examine the changes of exocrine as well as endocrine function of pancreas at the different time interval after 60% or 80% pancreatectomy in rats. The results summerized as follow: 1) In both 60% and 80% resected groups, a slight decrease of the total body weight was observed at a day after partial pancreatectomy in rats, but the body weight was continued to increase for following 100 days. 2) The weight of residual pancreas was continuously increased during experiment in both 60% and 80% resected groups. But the content of tissue protein in residual pancreas was significantly decreased comparing with those of resected pancreas. 3) The flow rate of pancreatico-biliary juice was significantly decreased immediately after pancreatectomy in both resected groups. But it was recovered to control level after a day in 60% resected group, after 30 days in 80% resected group. 4) The output of amylase and lipase in resected groups were significantly decreased right after pancreatectomy comparing with control group. In the 60% resected group, the output of amylase was recovered during the following 100 days after pancreatectomy, while lipase output in 3 days. However, in the 80% resected group, the output of amylase and lipase were not recovered during 100 days after pancreatectomy. 5) In order to examine the endocrine function, blood sugar level were examined at all experimental periods after partial pancreatectomy. There was no difference between control and 60% resected group in the sugar level. But in the 80% resected group the level was significantly incresed immediately after pancreatectomy, and reached the highest level at 3 days. Then it was decreased to control level during the next 10 days after pancreatectomy. The above results showed that in 60% resected group little changes were observed on pancreatic function, but severe functional impairments were observed in 80% resected group. This results suggested that the endocrine function was recovered within a short period, although the exocrine function was not recovered for a long time after 80% pancreatectomy in rats.

Ban formulated the concept of 'sympathetic center' and 'parasympathetic center' in the central nervous system, and Folkow et al. reported that the electric stimulation of the posterior part of hypothalamus induced the marked liberation of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla. Tatum reported that the hyperglycemic action of picrotoxin is contributed to the cathecholamines liberation from adrenal medulla by the excitation of hypothalamus via splanchnic nervous plexus. In this paper, the relationship between the convulsive action and the hyperglycemic effect of picrotoxin was investigated, with references to the influences of several drugs related with adrenergic function and two intravenous anesthetics on the picrotoxin hyperglycemia. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1) There was no difference between the convulsive dose(1. 5mg/kg) and the subconvulsive dose (0.75mg/kg) of picrotoxin in its hyperglycemic effect that was not affected with the phenobarbital pretreatment, but the efficacy of its hyperglycemic action was more prominent than that of strychnine. 2) The hyperglycemic effect of picrotoxin was markedly suppressed by the pretreatment of thiopental or ketamine. 3) The hyperglycemic effect was not affected by the reserpine pretreatment, but the effect was markedly suppressed by the pretreatment of iproniazid or chlorpromazine. 4) The hyperglycemic effect of picrotoxin was significantly suppressed by the pretreatment of hexamethonium, propranolol or guanethidine, and the order of those suppressing efficacy was propranolol> hexamethonium> guanethidine.
