Purpose : Studies on stroke were conducted by using the scaling system to estimate, compare severity and to predict prognosis. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale is widely used for this purpose due to its accuracy in predicting clinical symptoms. According to previous studies, neurologic symptoms in acute stage of ischemic stroke did not disappear, and approximately 27% to 43% of them were aggravated, We conducted this study to define clinical aggravation and to improve ischemic stroke in its acute stage by using NIHSS. Methods and Subjects : Due to their acute ischemic stroke, twenty five patients visited Wonkwang Oriental Medicine in Cheonju within forty eight hours from its beginning stage. Two oriental medicine doctors checked NIHSS every six hours during the first ninety six hours and later every twenty four hours for twelve days from the beginning of the disease. Results : The Aggravated group consisted of nineteen out of twenty five cases, which is seventy six % and NIHSS on admissions were $5.88{\pm}0.63$ and it increased linearly over time by the equation of NIHSS on admissions was $8.50{\pm}2.02$ and it decreased linearly over time by the equation of NIHSS=-0.01 one hour+7.91. Conclusion : During the study, we defined the clinical courses of acute ischemic stroke. There have been no reports on this so far. Therefore, we hope that this study will be beneficial to expand the scope of oriental medicine in dealing with aggravating ischemic stroke in the acute stage.

In this paper, dielectric characteristics of pathological tissues cultivated using the xenograft method were analyzed. Since cancerous tissues were extracted from the nude mouse just before the measurements, they were maintained as fresh as living tissues in the measurements. This would be one of the advantages to get more accurate and reliable results. Dielectric properties of four cancerous tissues such as brain cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer and gastric carcinoma were measured in the frequency range between 45 MHz and 5 GHz. For the measurement of the dielectric properties, 58 xenografted samples were used. It was found that all of the cancerous tissues had the similar dielectric constant values. Comparing with the normal tissues, dielectric constant values of brain cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer were higher than those of the normal tissues except gastric carcinoma in the frequency range.

For the purpose of improving hygienic quality of dried-spirullina and dried-sea tangle powders as raw materials of health food, the comparative effects of ozone treatment and gamma irradiation on the microbial and physicochemical properties were investigated. Gamma irradiation at 7.5 kGy resulted in sterilization of total aerobic bacteria, coliforms and molds below detective levels $(<10^{1}\;CFU/g\;sample)$, while ozone treatment for 8 hr up to 18 ppm could not sufficiently eliminate the microorganisms of the samples. Physicochemical properties including compositions of fatty acid and amino acid, minerals, pH and natural pigments were not changed by gamma irradaition up to 10 kGy, whereas, ozone treatment caused changes in pH, TBA value, natural pigments and fatty acid compositions. Especially, ozone treatment markedly decreased unsaturated fatty acid of the samples.

Objective: In order to investigate cell death mechanisms by Gunbibosinhangam-Tang(G.B.H) in cancer cells, the activities of apoptosis signaling pathway were tested in human neuroblastoma cell line BE2. Methods: Viability of BE2 cells was markedly decreased by treatment of the water extract of G.B.H in a dose-dependent manner. G.B.H-induced cell death was confirmed as apoptosis characterized by chromatin condensation, We tested whether the water extract of G.B.H affects the anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bcl-$X_L$ Results: Bcl-$X_L$ was uneffected by the addition of the water extract of G.B.H in a time-dependent manner. Cleavage of PARP(poly-ADP-ribose polymerase) by activation of caspase-8 protease was also observed in BE2 cells by the treatment of the water extract of G.B.H. Conclusion: These results suggest that the water extract of G.B.H exerts anti-cancer effects on human neuroblastoma BE2 cells by inducing the apoptotic death via activation of intrinsic caspase cascades.
