The aims of this study were to investigate the efficacy of acupuncture on myoelectrical activity of inflamed or normal colon in the rat, and whether the effect of acupuncture on colonic motility was related to endogenous opioids. Twenty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups. Experimental groups were normal group (n = 8), colitis group (n = 6) and naloxone group (n = 8). Stainless steel bipolar electrodes were implanted on the serosal layer of the proximal colon of rats. Colitis was induced 7 days after electrode implantation using trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) and ethanol. Electromyograms (EMG) were recorded by using polygraph 11 days after implantation of electrodes. In normal group, normal colonic motility was recorded for 60 min, and then traditional acupuncture at GV-1 was applied for 20 min and EMG was recorded for further 60 min in untreated rats. In colitis group, after recording of basal colonic motility for 60 min, 20 min of acupuncture treatment and further EMG recording was performed for 60 min in TNBS/ethanol treated rats. In naloxone group, following subcutaneous administration of naloxone (3 mg/kg), recording of EMG and acupuncture treatment were performed in TNBS/ethanol treated rats. In the normal group, acupuncture at GV-1 did not induce significant changes in colonic motility. TNBS/ethanol treatment had no significant effect on the frequency of colonic motility. And in colitis group, GV-1 acupuncture significantly decreased colonic motility (p < 0.01). In naloxone group, after injection of naloxone, acupuncture at GV-1 did not change colonic motility in TNBS/ethanol treated rats. On the inflamed colon, naloxone blocked the effect of acupuncture. The present results suggested that endogenous opioids released by acupuncture at GV-1 decrease the motility of inflamed colon in rats, but not normal colon.

Objectives: The object of this study is to observe the possible ameliorating effects of Nokyongdaebo-tang (NYDBT) on the experimental subacute hemorrhagic anemia (SHA) in rats. Methods: In the present study, SHA in rats was induced by exsanguinations from orbital plexus, and ameliorating effects of NYDBT was observed based on the changes of body and hematopoietic organ (spleen, liver and femur) weights, red blood cell (RBC) related hematological values, smear cytology, histopathological changes and immunohistochemistrical analysis of hematopoietic stem cells in the femur bone marrow, liver and spleen. In addition, the gastrointestinal motility and the surface mucosa thicknesses of remnant fecal pellets in the colon lumen, mucosa thicknesses and the mucous producing cell numbers in the colonic mucosa were analyzed to observe the digestive disorders, especially on the constipation, the major discomfort problems in iron supplement. Results: SHA related abnormal anemic signs were markedly and dose-dependently inhibited by oral administration of NYDBT 500, 250 and 125 mg/kg in a condition of this experiment. In addition, no meaningful changes on the gastrointestinal motilities and mucous component on the colon and remnant feces were noticed in all three different dosages of NYDBT treated rats as compared with intact vehicle and SHA control rats in this study. Conclusions: It, therefore, is expected that NYDBT will be promising as a novel alternative hematopoietic and therapeutic agent for anemia.

The aim of the study was to observe the influence and related mechanism of rebamipide on the intestinal contraction. Intestinal contraction includes the activation of thick or thin filament regulation. However, there are few reports addressing the question whether this regulation is involved in rebamipide-induced regulation. We hypothesized that rebamipide plays a role in intestinal contraction evoked by carbachol in rat intestine. Interestingly, rebamipide alone didn't inhibit and rather slightly increased the contraction in the denuded muscle. Therefore, rebamipide alone and together with indomethacin increases the ileal contraction suggesting that additional pathways might be involved in the regulation of ileal contractility. In conclusion, rebamipide has some effect on the regulation of contractility and anti-ulcer by NSAIDs.

The aim of the study was to observe the influence and related mechanism of histamine and its analogues used for hypersensitivity tests and used as an indicator of impurities in drugs on the tissue-specific intestinal contraction. Intestinal contraction includes the activation of thick or thin filament regulation. However, there are few reports addressing the question whether this regulation is involved in histamine-induced regulation. We hypothesized that histamine plays a role in tissue-dependent regulation of intestinal contractility. Denuded ileal/colonic longitudinal and circular muscles of male rats were used and isometric contractions were recorded using a data acquisition system. Interestingly, histamine alone didn't increase the contraction of the circular muscle but increased the contraction of the longitudinal muscle. Histamine together with atropine (M3 receptor antagonist) didn't inhibit the contraction of the longitudinal and circular muscle. Therefore, histamine alone and together with atropine increases the ileal longitudinal muscle contraction suggesting that additional mechanisms (decreased receptor density, postreceptor signaling or distribution of agonists) might be involved in the regulation of ileal muscle contractility. In conclusion, histamine and/or atropine has some effect on the regulation of the longitudinal contractility regardless of M3 receptor and the simpler test would be preferred as the drug impurity test compared to more complicated tests.

위장관에서 분비되는 많은 국소호르몬 중에서 이미 널리 알려진 것을 외에 구조적인 공통점을 가진 새로운 group인 pancreatic polypeptide family에 대한 정보를 요약하여 보았다. PP, NPY 및 PYY는 그 구조적 유사점들에도 불구하고 분비되는 장소가 판이하여, PP는 위와 췌장의 국소호르몬으로서, NPY는 중추 및 말초신경의 신경충동전달체로서, 또 PYY는 하부위장관 점막에서부터 분비되어 전신 호르몬처럼 작용하고 있다. 이들 NPY와 PYY의 혈관수축작용과 혈압상승작용은 우리의 흥미를 끌기에 충분하다. 특히 PYY는 주로 하부장관 특히 결장과 직장의 분비조직에서 많이 발견된다는 점과 돼지의 뇌혈관을 수축시켰다는 점이 주목할 만한 것이다. 우리나라에는 많은 고혈압 환자가 있으며, 고혈압을 비롯한 여러가지 원인에 의한 뇌졸중(뇌출혈 포함) 환자도 많이 발생하고 있다. 민간의 속설에 의하면 출혈성 뇌졸증이 기온이 낮은 계절에 보다 자주 발생하는 경향이 있으며, 이른아침 화장실에서의 배변시 자주 발생한다고 한다. 물론 이러한 속설을 뒷받침할 만한 자료가 없으므로 학문적 견지에서의 신빙성 여부를 논할 가치는 없겠으나, 배변시 비교적 강한 자극을 받고 활발한 운동을 하는 결장과 직장에 PYY의 분비세포가 집결되어 있다는 점과 PYY의 뇌혈관수축작용 및 혈압 상승작용 등을 고려해 볼 때, 출혈성 뇌졸증과 PYY의 상관관계는 추구해볼 만한 사항이라 사료된다.

We previously reported 344 cases of esophageal reconstruction for caustic esophageal stricture between 1959 and 1982, and this is the second report of 69 cases during 12 year period from Jan. 1983 to Feb. 1995. There were 32 males and 37 females, ranging in age from 4 to 65 years(mean 36.4 years). Caustic materials were acid in 37 (53.7%) and alkali in 31 (44.9%). All cases underwent colon interposition without esophageal resection except 3 cases of cancer complication which were resected through thoracotomy. In 64 cases isoperistaltic right colon with teminal ileum interposition were performed, and 5 cases were interposed with left colon either isoperistaltic (2 cases) or antiperistaltic (3 cases) method. Anastomotic leakage was the most frequently encountered c mplication (14.4%, 10 cases), and they were 11.6%(8 cases) from cervical, 2.8% (2 cases) from ileocolostoma. Overall operative mortality was 2.9% (2169), main causes of death were sepsis due to graft necrosis and mediastinitis. During 6 months to 12years (mean 2.Syears) follow-up of survived 67 cases, 88.1% (59 cases) ate normally, 7.5% (5 cases) complained of moderate dysphagia (eating liquid diet), and 4.5% (3 cases) were unable to eat by mouth. In our experience, reconstruction of the esphagus with the colon is a satisfactory method that can be accomplished with acceptable morbidity and mortality. The right colon is a durable and functional esophageal substitute.

This study was performed to investigate effects of raw sea tangle products on idiopathic constipation. A total of thirty-eight women participated voluntarily in this study. They were placed into one of four groups by their total colonic transit time (TCTT) to make the four groups have the same TCTT. In the first trial, the subjects in Control group were fed 3 times of 150 mL of mineral water per day for 2 weeks, those in +Control group were fed a kind of stool softener as well as the same mineral water for 3 times, those in STT group were fed 3 times of 150 mL of sea tangle tea and those in STB group were fed 3 times of 150 mL of sea tangle beverage. After 6 weeks, a second trial was performed for another 2 weeks. Although the TCTT of the group exposed to of KolomarkTM was not significantly reduced, the subjects in STT group answered that their evacuation activities were significantly improved; evacuation frequency was increased, stool hardness was reduced, evacuation straining was lessened, stool amount was increased, incomplete sense of evacuation was lessened, and major evacuation time was improved like those in +Control group. The results imply that it is worthy to develop some products of raw sea tangle such as STT, which are effective in treating or preventing constipation.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of xylazine on the motility of abomasum and proximal colon in cattle. Bipolar electrodes were implanted in the subserosa of the abomasum and colon. Electromyogram of the motility was recorded by polygraph after intramuscular administration of xylazine at the doses of 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg. The mtility of abomasum was completely inhibited at 5~11 minutes after xylazine administration. However, that of the abomasum was reappeared at 15 minutes and greatly increased to supranormal motility at 41~51 minutes, then recovered to normal activity at 70~123 minutes. Meanwhile, the motility of proximal colon was completely inhibited at 3~10 minutes and reappeared at 60~150 minutes after xylazine administration, then recovered gradually to normal pattern at 240 minutes. Our data indicate that xylazine (0.1~0.2 mg/kg) affect on the abomasal motility in a biphasic manner, initial inhibition and following activation, but on the colon motility in a monophasic inhibition.

본 연구에서는 체가름 시험을 통해 얻은 대표입경으로 조도계수를 산정하고 그 산정된 조도계수의 효용을 검정하고자 하였다. 체가름 분석을 통해 입도곡선을 작성하고 대표입경을 구함으로서 기 수립된 공식에 의한 조도계수를 산정하였다. 산정된 조도계수는 HEC-HMS의 하도추적 방법 중에 하나인 Muskingum-Cunge 8 point 방법과 HEC-RAS의 부정류 해석을 이용한 방법으로 얻은 조도계수를 비교하였다. HEC-HMS의 경우 대상유역인 오산천 유역에 대해 선행연구과정으로 저수지 방류량을 고려한 강우-유출 모형의 매개변수 추정에 관한 연구가 이뤄졌다(2006, 이아름). 선행연구에서는 계산된 유량과 실측 유량을 비교하여 Clark 단위도 방법의 매개변수를 추정하여 그 중 빈도가 큰 유출사상의 경우에 Sabol 식에 의한 모의 결과가 첨두유량의 재현성이 우수하게 나타남을 확인했다. 따라서 HEC-HMS 모형은 Clark 단위도 방법의 매개변수는 Sabol의 식에 의해 모형을 구성하고 2001년, 2002년, 2004년, 2005년의 사상에 대해 강우량, 기흥 저수지와 이동저수지의 실제 방류량을 이용해 유출량을 산정하였다. 이중 오산천 유역에 대해 선행연구에서 사용된 Muskingum의 하도추적 방법은 Muskingum-Cunge 8 point 방법으로 변경하여 대상유역에서의 조도계수를 산정하였다. HEC-RAS 모형의 부정류 해석은 2002년과 2005년의 사상으로서 상류단 경계조건으로 기흥 저수지의 방류량을 유량수문곡선으로 이용하였고, 하류단 경계조건으로는 회화수위관측소의 수위수문곡선을 이용했다. 대표입경을 이용해 얻은 조도계수를 HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS를 통해 검정한 결과 실측된 유량과 수위를 비교적 잘 재현해 내는 것으로 나타났으나, 조도계수의 보정을 통한 재현 유량과 수위를 비교했을 때, 대표입경을 통해 얻은 조도계수가 보정 조도계수보다 다소 작은 것으로 해석되었다.하고자 한다.해결책을 얻어내는 상호보완적인 결과를 추구한다. 그가 디자인하는 작품은 전형적인 이미지를 내포하지 않는다. 즉 그의 작품은 기존의 가치와 이념적인 것은 배제하고, 창의적인 개념을 도출하였다.형모서리는 건물 특화 성격이 강하므로 불가피할 경우 소형 액센트 광고 위치를 미리 벽면으로 할애하는 것이 경관 및 입면계획에 유리한 것으로 분석되었다. 불확실도 해석모형 등의 새로운 기능을 추가하여 제시하였다. 모든 입출력자료는 프로젝트 단위별로 운영되어 data의 관리가 손쉽도록 하였으며 결과를 DB에 저장하여 다른 모형에서도 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 그리고 HyGIS-HMS 및 HyGIS-RAS 모형에서 강우-유출-하도 수리해석-범람해석 등이 일괄되게 하나의 시스템 내에서 구현될 수 있도록 하였다. 따라서 HyGIS와 통합된 수리, 수문모형은 국내 하천 및 유역에 적합한 시스템으로서 향후 HydroInformatics 구현을 염두에 둔 특화된 국내 수자원 분야 소프트웨어의 개발에 기본 토대를 제공할 것으로 판단된다.았다. 또한 저자들의 임상병리학적 연구결과가 다른 문헌에서 보고된 소아 신증후군의 연구결과와 큰 차이를 보이지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 자극에 차이가 있지 않나 추측되며 이에 관한 추후 연구가 요망된다. 총대장통과시간의 단축은 결장 분절 모두에서 줄어들어 나타났으나 좌측결장 통과시간의 감소 및 이로 인한 이 부위의 통과시간 비율의 저하가 가장 주요하였다. 이러한 결과는 차가운 생수 섭취가 주로 결장 근위부를 자극하는 효과를 발휘하는 것이 아닌가 해석된다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 통해 생다시마를 주원료로 개발된 생다시마차와 생다시마 음료가 만성 기능성 변비 증세를 개선하는 효능이 잠재적으로 있음을 확인하였다. 그러나 생약제재의 변비약 수준으로 변비 개선 효능을 증대하기 위해서는 재료 배합비의 개선이나 대장 운동기능을 향상시키는 유효성분의 보강 등이 필요하다는 점도 알 수 있었다.더불어
