Objective : Daehwangmokdanpi-Tang (DWT) has been frequently used as a remedy for antiinflamation. To evaluate effect of acute pancreatitis by DWT, we examined the effects of DWT on the cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK)-induced acute pancreatitis (AP) in rats. Methods : Male Wistar rats weighing 200 to 250 g were divided into three groups. Normal untreated group, in treatment with DWT group; DWT was administered orally, followed by $75\;{\mu}g/kg$ CCK subcutaneously three times, after 1, 3 and 5 h. This whole procedure was repeated for 5 days. In treatment with saline group, the protocol was the same as in treatment group with DWT. Results : The author determined the pancreatic weight/body weight ratio, the levels of pancreatic HSP (heat shock protein)60 and HSP72 and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Repeated CCK treatment resulted in the typical laboratory and morphological changes of experimentally induced pancreatitis. DWT was significantly decreased the pancreatic weight/body weight ratio in CCK-induced AP. Futhermore, The author demonstrated that DWT increased HSP60 and HSP72 compared with CCK-induced AP. Additionally, the secretion of $IL-1{\beta}\;and\;TNF-{\alpha}$ and the levels of amylase and lipase were lower than that saline. Conclusions : These results suggested that DWT may has a protective effect against CCK-induced AP.

In order to assess the diagnostic aid of serum gammaglutamyl transpeptidase values in hepatitis, obstructive jaundice and pancreatitis, four groups of 14 health dogs were subjected to the gastric intubatin of $CCl_4$(1.5ml/kg of body weight), the ligation of common bile duct, the ligation of pancreatic ducts and the injection of chloroform(0.2ml/kg of body weight) in the parenchyma of the pancreas. Some serum enzymes serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase(SGPT), serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase(SGOT), total bilirubin, amylase and lipase known to be indicative of hepatic and pancreatic diseases were monitored. In comparision of these enzymes, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGTP) valuers were determined in these dogs before and after the experimental procedures. The results were summarized as follows: 1. In $CCl_4$ intoxication gorup, there were no significant changes in serum GGTP activities(mean: 6.0~14.6 IU/L). 2. In bile duct ligation group, serum GGTP activities shelved marked increases, beginning at postsurgical day 1 and rose the highest mean value(342.7 IU/L) on day 12. Then the activities never approached to the base-line values. 3. After the ligation of pancreatic ducts and the injection of chloroform in the pancreas, serum GGTP activities did not rise throughout the experiment. 4. SGPT:GGTP ratio did not increase in bile duct ligation group, but increase markedly in $ccl_4$ intoxication group. 5. The results indicated that serum GGTP values or SGPT:GGTP ratio could provide valuable indicators for differential diagnosis between hepatobiliary obstruction and hepatocellular disease.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to review the current research trend on the acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for pancreatitis. Methods : Through nine search engines, articles were collected, which had involved the use of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for pancreatitis. Data were extracted from the selected articles regarding the year, country, type of pancreatitis, study design, evaluation variable, intervention, point for acupuncture and moxibustion, and effectiveness of treatment. Results : Total 56 articles were reviewed. The number of studies increased gradually every ten years. Fifty-one studies(91%) were conducted in China. Most of clinical studies and animal experimentations reported on acute pancreatitis. Thirty-nine studies were randomized controlled trials(RCTs), but most of them were assessed as uncertain in the risk of bias evaluation. The degree of overall improvement(79%) was used mainly as evaluation variable of clinical studies. In animal experimentations, the examination of pancreatitis tissue(77%) and blood test(77%) were used the most. Most of studies were conducted with the acupuncture, one with moxibustion. Among them, electroacupuncture was the most common intervention of treatment group. ST36 was the most frequently used acupuncture point in the included studies. Effective rate increased and serum amylase, clinical symptoms, recovery time of gastrointestinal function decreased statistically significantly in the treatment group of clinical studies. Conclusions : The result of this study could be used for the future practice and research about the acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for pancreatitis.

Objectives : Dioscorea batas Decaisne (DB) has been known to be good for the digestive system on Eastern Asia. However, the protective effect of DB on acute pancreatitis (AP) has not been studied. In this study, we tried to investigate the protective effect of DB water extract on caerulein-induced AP. Methods : To measure the protective effect of DB on AP, Mice were injected with cholecystokinin analogue caerulein (50 ㎍/kg) hourly for 6 times. DB water extract (200 or 400 mg/kg) or saline (control group) was administered orally 1 h before the first injection of caerulein. The mice were sacrificed at 6 h after the last injection of caerulein. The pancreas tissues and serum samples were immediately taken for further analysis. Results : Administration of DB water extract showed the inhibitory effect on the increase of pancreas weight/body weight ratio, pancreatic histological damage. And the rise of serum lipase level was significantly reduced in DB water extract treatment group during AP in mice. However administration of DB water extract did not show significant reduction in serum amylase level. Also, mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines Interleukin (IL)-6 and Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-𝛼 but not IL-1𝛽 were inhibited by administration of DB water extract. Conclusions : Taken together, we found that administration of DB water extract ameliorates the severity of caerulein-induced AP, which suggests the potential to be an effective treatment on AP.

Objectives : Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma (SGR) has been used in traditional medicine for treating diseases related to inflammation and cancer. However, the protective effect of SGR has not been reported in the study of acute pancreatitis (AP). Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the protective effects of SGR water extract on cerulein-induced AP. Methods : AP was induced by intraperitoneal injection of supramaximal concentrations of stable cholecystokinin analogue cerulein ($50{\mu}g/kg$) 6 times at intervals of one hour in mice. SGR water extract (0.01, 0.05, or 0.1 g/kg) was administrated intraperitoneally 1 h prior to the first injection of cerulein. The mice were sacrificed at 6 h after the final injection of cerulein. Pancreas and lung were rapidly removed for histochemical examination and myeloperoxidase (MPO) assay. In addition, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to examine mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin(IL)-6, $IL-1{\beta}$ and Tumor necrosis $factor(TNF)-{\alpha}$. Results : Administration of SGR water extract significantly inhibited pancreatic weight to body weight ratio. In addition, SGR treatment inhibited the histological damages and increase of MPO activity in both pancreas and lung during AP. Also, mRNA levels of IL-6 but not $IL-1{\beta}$and $TNF-{\alpha}$ were inhibited by SGR water extract against AP. Conclusion : Our results revealed that pre-treatment of SGR water extract reduces the severity of cerulein-induced AP. Therefore, this study suggest that SGR could be used as a drug or agent to prevent AP.

한 지역사회에서 최충 감염을 반드시 관리해야 하는 궁극적 이유 또는 그 당위성에 대하여 답하기 어려운 경우가 있다. 그것은 회충 관리 결과 충란 양성률이나 감염량의 감소 이외에 실제로 무엇이 호전되었는지를 알기가 그리 쉽지 않기 때문이다. 이 연구는 우리 나라에서 전국적으로 시행해 온 회을 집단관리 사업이 성공적 결실을 맺게 됨에 따라 국내 각 종합병원급 이상의 담도(또는 담석증), 충수, 췌장 등에 대한 수술 환자 중 회충미립중(迷入症)의 빈도가 크게 감소된 점을 중시하고 이들 외과적 회충중의 감소를 우리 나라 회충 관리의 실질적 효과 중 하나로 제시하고자 하였다. 우리 나라 국민의 회충 감염률 감소 양상은 전국 학생 검변 자료(1969~1989) 및 전국민 장내 기생충 감염현황 자료(1971, '76, '81, '86)에서 파악하였다 외과적 회충증의 빈도는 주로 문헌 고찰에 의하되 1959~1990년 사이에 외과학회지 등에 발표된 담도 질환, 충수염, 췌장염, 장폐쇄 등에 관한 논문을 총 망라하여 참고로 하였다. 분석 결과 종합병원중 이상의 총 담도 수술례(또는 총 담석증례) 중 회충 미립이 차지하는 비율을 YA(또는 YB)라 할 때 YA(또는 YB)의 감소 양상은 전국 학생 회충란 양성률(X)의 감소와 매우 밀접한 순 상관관계를 나타내고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 수치로 표시하면 $Y_A=0.25X^2+0.013(r=0.96),{\;}Y_B=0.19X^2+0.016(r=0.94)$의 관계를 보였다. 다른 외과적 회충증의 경우에도 담도 회충증과 비슷한 양상을 보였다. 결국 우리 나라의 회충 관리사업은 회충 감염률 및 감염량의 감소 뿐만 아니라 회충 감염시 심각한 합병증의 하나인 담도 회충증 또는 기타 외과적 회충증의 빈도를 격감시키는 데에도 크게 기여한 것으로 판단되었다.

CA19-9의 상승은 췌장 및 담도계 악성 종양을 시사하는 소견이다. 하지만, 최근에 양성 소화기계 질환 뿐 아니라 특발성 간질성 폐렴, 교원성 폐 질환, 미만성 범세기관지염, 기관지확장증 등 다양한 양성 폐 질환에서도 혈중 CA19-9 수치가 증가되어 있다고 보고된다. 저자들은 최근 지속적으로 혈중 CA19-9 수치는 증가되어 있지만, 내시경적 역류성 담도 췌장 조영술, 복부 전산화 단층 촬영, PET-CT에서 악성 종양이 발견되지 않은 기관지확장증 1예를 경험 하였다. 3년 10개월의 추적 관찰 기간 중에도 췌장암과 같은 악성 종양은 발견되지 않아서, 혈중 CA19-9 수치의 상승은 기관지확장증에 의한 것으로 추정 되었다. 혈중 CA19-9 수치의 상승은 환자의 임상 양상과 연관하여 조심스럽게 판단하여야 될 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 Goto-Kakizaki 당뇨질환 모델을 통해 미네랄이 풍부한 천일염의 항당뇨 효과를 관찰하고자 하였다. 동일한 주령의 Wistar rat 정상군에 비해 소금투여군에서는 간, 신장, 비장 등 장기무게는 유의적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였지만 소금투여군 사이에는 유의성이 나타나지 않았다. 혈중 성분 변화에서는 총 콜레스테롤 함량은 죽염투여군(BS)이 정제염투여군(PS)에 비해 유의적으로 감소하는 경향을 보여주었으며 혈청 중성지방은 모든 천일염투여군이 정제염보다 유의적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 혈당수치는 정제염투여군은 실험기간 동안 지속적인 상승추세를 보여주었지만 천일염투여군은 상승하다가 일정 기간에서는 유지되는 경향을 보였으며 12주차 결과에서는 정제염투여군에 비해 유의적인 차이로 혈당 저하 효과를 보였다. 혈중 인슐린 농도는 정제염투여군에서 정상군에 비해 유의적인 감소를 보였으며 천일염투여군에서 다소 상승하는 추세를 보였지만 유의성은 나타나지 않았다. 췌장의 조직학적 변화를 관찰한 결과 정제염투여군에 비해 천일염투여군에서 랑게르한스섬의 배열이 비교적 규칙적이고 원형에 근접하는 형태를 유지하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 토대로 미네랄이 풍부한 천일염이 당뇨질환을 완화시킬 수 있는 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료되나 앞으로 이에 대한 보다 심도 있는 메커니즘 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.
