An extract of Alnus japonica (Betulaceae) cortex has been traditionally used for purifying blood, and curing feces containing blood, enteritis, diarrhea, alcoholism and cut wounds. Alnus japonica cortex extract significantly inhibited carrageenan-induced paw edema at 1, 2 and 3 hrs after oral administration by 32.8, 24.4, and 46.9%. It also inhibited acetic acid-induced vascular permeability in mice by 15.3 and 28.0% at oral doses of 500 and 1,000 mg/kg, and it significantly reduced the volume of hindpaw of adjuvant-induced arthritis rats at the day 6 and 10 by 22.5 and 18.7% after the sample administration. Alnus japonica cortex extract increased threshold on inflamed paw (Randall-Selitto assay) at 3 hr by 137.5% compared to the control group. It also reduced the number of writhing syndrome dose- dependently.

Background: This research main objective was to evaluate a proliposomes (PLs) formulation for the enhancement of oral bioavailability of ginsenosides, using ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) as a marker. Methods: A novel PLs formulation was prepared using a modified evaporation-on-matrix method. Soy phosphatidylcholine, Rg3-enriched extract, poloxamer 188 (Lutrol® F 68) and sorbitol were mixed and dissolved using a aqueous ethanolic solution, followed by the removal of ethanol and lyophilization. The characterization of Rg3-PLs formulations was performed by powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and in vitro release. The enhancement of oral bioavailability was investigated and analyzed by noncompartmental parameters after oral administration of the formulations. Results: PXRD of Rg3-PLs indicated that Rg3 was transformed from crystalline into its amorphous form during the preparation process. The Rg3-encapsulated liposomes with vesicular-shaped morphology were generated after the reconstitution by gentle hand-shaking in water; they had a mean diameter of approximately 350 nm, a negative zeta potential (- 28.6 mV) and a high entrapment efficiency (97.3%). The results of the in vitro release study exhibited that significantly more amount of Rg3 was released from the PLs formulation in comparison with that from the suspension of Rg3-enriched extract (control group). The pharmacokinetic parameters after oral administration of PLs formulation in rats showed an approximately 11.8-fold increase in the bioavailability of Rg3, compared to that of the control group. Conclusion: The developed PLs formulation could be a favorable delivery system to improve the oral bioavailability of ginsenosides, including Rg3.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical parameters in terms of the midazolam sedation in patients undergoing dental practice. Patients and Methods: Total 28 patients were included in this study. They received the dental practice in the daycare center and sedation was done with midazolam. The recorded variables were blood pressure, pulse rate, $SpO_2$, and patient's response. The differences between observations were analyzed with paired samples t-test. Results: The blood pressure was significantly decreased after the administration of midazolam and the systolic pressure was significantly increased at the start of operation (P<0.05). The pulse rate was significantly increased after lidocaine injection (P<0.001). The amnesic effect was shown 21 cases out of 28 cases (75%). Conclusions: The effect of midazolam on pulse rate was not significant. However, midazolam could decrease the blood pressure significantly. Therefore, the sedation with midazolam could be successfully used in the dental practice, particularly for the patients having the hypertension.

The purpose of this study was to probe the influences of NaF oral administration on a dose-effect relationship between fluoride levels of serum enzyme activity such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in rats fed experimental diets for 5 weeks. All groups increased the activity of serum ALP, AST, ALT, and LDH levels with increasing NaF. In addition the fluoride levels of serum and organ tissues (liver, brain, heart, lung, kidney) in oral NaF groups (NF3~NF50) were significantly increased by adding sodium fluoride in comparison with normal diet group (ND) (p<0.05). These results, a high concentration of sodium fluoride was determined that the toxicity to various organ tissues.

심히 진행된 위암 환자에서 경정맥 포도당 투여시의 insulin 및 성장 흐르몬 반응을 관찰하고 경구 투여시와 비교 검토하였다. 다시 위암 환자에게 아미노산 용액을 투여하고 혈중 insulin 농도와 성장 흐르몬 농도 및 혈당량을 경시적으로 측정하고 정상인에서의 결과와 비교하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. 위암 환자에게 포도당 용액을 경구 부하하면 혈중 포도당 농도의 상승은 감소되었다. 2. 위암 환자에게 포도당 용액을 경구투여 하였더니 insulin 반응은 정상인에서 보다 감소되어 경정맥투여시와 유사하였다. 3. 위암 환자에게 포도당 용액 또는 아미노산용액을 경정맥 투여하여 성장 호르몬 농도의 상승을 관찰하였다. 4. 위암 환자에게 아미노산 용액을 정맥내로 투여하면 정상인에서와 같이 경구투여시에 비하여 insulin반응의 감소가 관찰되었다. 5. 위암 환자에게 포도당 경정맥 투여시의 insulin반응이 경구 투여시와 유사한 점에 대하여 고찰하였으며 아미노산 경정맥 투여시에는 insulin 반응에 유의할 필요성을 지적하였다.

To understand the micro-mechanical changes and the effects of the fluoride on rat's femur after administration of sodium fluoride, the three-point bending test, acoustic emission analysis during the three-point bending test and scanning electron microscopy were performed. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Bone strength increased in the rats given 1, 5, 10 and 20 ppm of fluoride but, there were no statistical significances (p>0.05). 2. With increasing the concentration of fluoride, most AE events released rapidly just before the maximum load and smaller events were recorded than the control group's. The average of cumulative AE event counts until maximum load of the femur in 20 ppm group were significantly small with respect to the control group's (p<0.05). 3. Fracture surfaces were well coincide with the results of acoustic emission behavior. Analyses of fracture surfaces indicated that, consistent with its the highest load, rat femur in 20 ppm fluoride group displays the roughest surface.

본 연구에서는 제모된 마우스 모델을 대상으로 목향 추출물의 경구 투여가 발모에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 목향 70% prethanol 추출물(ALD)을 제조하여 추출수율과 추출물에 함유된 총 폴리페놀 함량을 측정한 결과 각각 27.30±0.01과 28.39 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g extract로 측정되었다. ALD를 제모된 CL57BL/6 마우스에 6주간 경구 투여하며 관찰한 결과, 식이량과 체중 변화에 유의적인 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 혈액 생화학적 검사 및 조직학적 검사를 통해 ALD의 6주간 반복 투여가 주요 장기인 간과 신장의 기능에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 대조군에 비해 간기능과 콩팥기능 모두 유의적인 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 이와 더불어 ALD 투여에 따른 모발 성장 정도를 육안적으로 관찰한 결과, ALD 투여군에서 대조군 및 판시딜 투여군(양성 대조군)보다 현저하게 발모가 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 모낭수와 진피의 콜라겐 생성 정도를 비교한 결과, 대조군 및 판시딜 투여군 대비 ALD 투여군에서 두 항목 모두 유의적으로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구로부터 ALD의 경구 투여는 제모된 마우스 모델에서 모발 성장을 촉진하며 진피내 콜라겐 합성 증가와 모낭수 증가를 유도한다는 결론을 도출할 수 있었으며, 이는 ALD를 함유하는 경구용 발모 촉진제 개발을 위한 기초자료로써 그 가치가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of combined oral and enema therapy using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 3350 with electrolyte solution for disimpaction in hospitalized children. Methods: We retrospectively studied 28 children having functional constipation who received inpatient treatment between 2008 and 2016. The amount of oral PEG 3350 electrolyte solution administered was 50-70 mL/kg/d (PEG 3350, 3-4.1 g/kg/d), and an enema solution was administered 1-2 times a day as a single dose of 15-25 mL/kg (PEG 3350, 0.975-1.625 g/kg/d). A colon transit time (CTT) test based on the Metcalf protocol was performed in some patients. Results: Administration of oral and enema doses of PEG 3350 electrolyte solution showed $2.1{\pm}0.3$ times and $2.9{\pm}0.4$ times, respectively. After disimpaction, the frequency of defecation increased from $2.2{\pm}0.3$ per week to once a day ($1.1{\pm}0.1$ per day). The number of patients who complained of abdominal pain was reduced from 15 (53.6%) to 4 (14.3%). Before hospitalization, nine patients underwent a CTT test, and 5 of 9 patients (55.6%) were classified as belonging to a group showing abnormalities. And in some patients, mild adverse effects were noted. We examined electrolytes and osmolality before and after disimpaction in 16 of 28 patients, and no abnormalities were noted. Conclusion: In terms of therapeutic efficacy and safety, combined oral and enema therapy using high-dose PEG 3350 with electrolytes is considered superior to conventional oral monotherapy or combined oral and enema therapy on an outpatient basis.

겨우살이 (Viscum atbum)는 민간요법에서 여러 질환에 치료제로 쓰이고 있다. 이는 겨우살이가 가지고 있는 lectin의 약리작용에 의한 것으로 그 가능성을 알아보고자 겨우살이 lectin의 항당뇨 효과를 연구하였다. 이를 위해 streptozotocin으로 당뇨를 유발시킨 흰쥐에 국내 참나무류에 기생하는 겨우살이의 추출물과 정제된 lectin을 경구와 복강내에 투여하여 조사하였다. 추출물을 29일 동안 경구 투여시 혈당치가 36%까지 현저히 감소하였으나, 정제된 lectin을 경구 투여시 항당뇨 효과가 현저히 나타나지 않았다 또한 정제된 lectin 0.4 mg/kg을 복강내에 주사시 당뇨군에서 2시간과 4시간에서 saline에 비 해 혈당치가 각각 32%와 28% 감소하였으므로 lectin의 항당뇨 효과는 뚜렷하였다.
