This following is effect of Buthus martensi Karsch(BMK) extract on dextran-thrombus model, KCN-induced coma, cytotoxicity of brain etc. BMK extract significantly increased number of platelet and fibrogen and significantly shortened the prothrombin time as compared with control group treated with dextran. BMK extract didn't affect the changes of hematocrit as compared with control group treated with dextran. BMK extract induced a significant inhibition of human platelet aggregation induced by thrombin and ADP but did not affect human platelet aggregation induced by collagen. BMK extract showed a protective effect on pulmonary thrombosis induced by collagen and epinephrine. BMK extract prolonged the duration of KCN-induced coma and showed a protective effect on cytotoxicity of PC12 cells induced by amyloid ${\beta}$ protein(25-35) in a dose dependent manner. These results suggested that BMK extract might be usefully applied for prevention and treatment of thrombosis and brain damage.

In this study, we have examined pyrethroid actions on sodium channels in the pest insect Heliothis virescens. The synthetic pyrethroid permethrin increased steady-state sodium current in H. virescens central neurons and prolonged tail currents (I_Na-tail) due to extreme slowing of sodium channel deactivation. Prolongation of I_Na-tail was evident at permethrin concentrations as low as 60 nM, which modified ~1.7% of sodium channels and 10 μM permethrin modified about 30% of channels. The average time constant (τ₁) of tail current decay was ~335 ms for permethrin-modified channels. These modified channels activated at more negative potentials and showed slower activation kinetics, and failed to inactivate. Permethrin modification of sodium channels was dramatically potentiated by the α scorpion toxin LqhαIT, showing positive cooperativity between two binding sites. The amplitude of the tail current induced by 0.3 μM permethrin was enhanced ~8-fold by LqhαIT (200 pM). Positive cooperativity was also observed between permethrin and the insect-specific scorpion toxin AaIT as 10 nM permethrin potentiated the shift of voltage dependence caused by AaIT (~2-fold).

엄청난 위협소구로 콘돔 사용을 권장하는 유럽의 광고 몇 편을 소개한다. 에이즈 예방을 위해 콘돔 사용은 필수. 예전에도 콘돔을 쓰지 않는 섹스를 독거미나 전갈과의 섹스에 비유하여 겁을 주거나, 더미인형과외 섹스에 비유하여 바보로 만들거나, 심지어 여성들에게 콘돔 없는 섹스는 당신에게 권총을 들이대는 것과 마찬가지이니 무조건 거부하라고 강요하는 광고를 소개한 바 있다. 에이즈 예방을 위한 콘돔 사용은 아무리 강조해도 지나침이 없으므로 이런 광고들은 계속 나올 것이다.

There are many colors in the world, the colors can always send any signal or sign to humans. This paper find out color preference and hunam character. Humans unconsciously react to the colors and are affected be the color. These colors give humans a very large effect and impacrt. Seeing colors, we are look up or sinking and lighter or better of atmosphere. In other words, a man gets a message of color from the light. If you accept the message by recognizing and self-awareness, you can see the general meaning of the color, and you can know how to use color more effectively.

In convulsion state by PTZ in rat, anticonvulsive effect and some of ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid(GABA)-related mechanisms of Buthus extract in brain was experimented. It was inhibited GABA-T activity, lipid peroxide generation and xanthine oxidase activity as scheduled administration in vitro and vivo. And the content of brain glutathione was increased as scheduled administration in rat. In convulsion state by PTZ of previously managed rat by Buthus extract, onset time and duration were non-specific changes but recovery time and severity was remarkably reduced. In conclusion speculated that Buthus extract inhibits convulsion by control of GABA content In brain.

목적 : 면역억제 작용을 지닌 것으로 알려진 전갈약침(BMK)의 IL-1으로 야기된 1차성 골관절염 인체 연골 세포에 대한 항염증 효과 골 기능 효과에 대해 연구하였다. 방법 : 골관절염 연골에서 채취된 인체 연골세포는 ID-1(2ng/ml)에 의해 처리되어졌으며, IL-1과 BMK($10{\mu}g/ml$)를 함께 처리한 연골세포와 비교하였다. 결과 : IL-1 단독처리된 연골세포에 비해 BMK가 함께 처리된 연골세포에서 연골세포의 손실과 퇴화의 중요한 요소인 NO의 생산량이 의미있게 저하되었다. IL-1단독으로 처리된 연골세포보다 IL-1과 BMK가 함께 처리된 연골세포에서 iNOS mRNA의 단백질 합성이 의미있게 감소하였다. 또한, 전사인자로서의 NF-B의 활성화가 IL-1 단독으로 처리된 연골세포에 비하여 BMK가 함께 처리된 군에서 상대적으로 의미있게 억제되었다. 결론: 이상의 결과를 종합하면 BMK가 인제 골관절염 연골에 있어서 NF-B 활성화에 의존한 IL-1 유도염증의 치료상에 효과적인 반응억제제임을 시사하며, 골 세포의 골 재흡수 활동에 효과적임을 시사한다.

The effects of scorpion (Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus, Lqh) venom were evaluated on the activities of microsomal $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ and $Ca^{2+}$ release channel prepared from the epithelial cells of pig airway. Whole venom of Lqh $(120\;{\mu}g/ml)$ increased the activity of microsomal $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ about 32% in the tight-sealed microsomes and about 28% in the Triton X-100-treated or $Ca^{2+}$ ionophore A23187-treated leaky microsomes. Thapsigargin, a specific antagonist of $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$, inhibited 42% of total ATPase activity and also completely blocked the effects of Lqh venom, suggesting that Lqh venom directly activiates the microsomal $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$. In order to determine if Lqh venom increases the microsomal uptake of $^{45}Ca^{2+}$, Lqh venom was added in the uptake medium. The Lqh venom increased microsomal $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ uptake up to ${\sim}20%$ and the increase was only observed when heparin, an antagonist of $InsP_3$ receptor channel, was added in the uptake medium. Lqh venom in the absence of heparin unexpectedly decreased the rate and the amount of $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ uptake. These results were explained by simultaneous increases in $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ release as well as $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ uptake by Lqh venom. Lqh venom itself increased the release of $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ as much as $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ release by $4\;{\mu}m\;InsP_3$, implying that Lqh venom also activates $InsP_3$ receptor, microsomal $Ca^{2+}$ release channel. Based on these results, we suggest that the Lqh venom consists of at least two components; one activates the $InsP_3$ receptor and the other avates the $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$. Currently we a investigating the chemical and electrophysiological properties of the active components of Lqh venom.

To clarifiy the activating effects of Buthus martensi Karsch(BMK) on tumor promotion in two-stage carcinogenesis in mice was investigated. In vivo system, BMK was seen to gave an inhibitory activity on TPA-induced mouse ear edema. In addition, the BMK was proved to have antitumor-promoting activity in two-stage mouse skin carcinogenesis induced by DMBA and two-stage mouse lung carcinogenesis induced by 4-NQO as a initiator plus TPA and glycerol as a promoter. Moreover, BMK significantly exhibited an cytolytic effect in HepG2 cells and showed significant antitumor activity against Sarcoma-180 bearing mice by oral administration. These results suggest that BMK could be effective in adjuvant chemotherapy for human cancer.
