희토(稀土) 또는 rare earth(RE)라고 하는 것은 15개 란탄족 원소와 이트륨(Y) 그리고 스칸듐(Sc)을 합친 17개 원소를 총칭하는 화학 용어이다. 일부 희토 원소들의 생화학적 작용과 생물학적 기능이 인정됨에 따라, 산란계와 종계에 대한 급여 효과와 급여 수준을 알아보기 위하여 평사에서 산란초기 육계 종계(Ross SP) 16,231수를 대상으로 염화 희토 혼합물$(RECl_3)$을 가지고 30주 동안 사양 시험을 실시하였다. 본 시험에서 희토 사료 첨가는 300 mg/kg와 600 mg/kg, 두 수준이었는데, 후자는 여러 가지 시험 결과로 미루어 적정 첨가 수준을 초과하는 양으로 생각되었으며, 희토 300 mg/kg의 사료 첨가는 종계의 생산 능력을 크게 개선할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다 희토 급여 초기 약간의 스트레스가 있는 듯 하였으나, 피크 산란율에 도달하는 기간을 단축하고, 피크 산란율을 높게 그리고 길게 지속하는 효과가 있었으며, 산란 곡선의 탄력을 좋게 유지하였다. 희토 300 mg/kg의 사료 첨가는 부화에 이용할 수 있는 종란 생산을 3.5% 정도 증가시켰다. 또 하나 관찰된 괄목한 만한 결과는 희토가 종계의 폐사율을 크게 감소시켰다는 사실이다. 희토 사료 첨가는 숫 종계 폐사율을 33.2% 그리고 암 종계 폐사율을 46.5% 감소시키었다. 희토의 난질에 대한 괄목할 만한 효과는 관찰되지 않았다. 난각의 색이나 두께와 강도, 난황색 등은 대조구나 처리구 간에 차이가 없었고, 난중, 난백고, Haugh unit등은 유의하게(P<0.05)는 개선되는 경향을 나타냈다. 희토 급여의 수정을 및 부화율에 대한 본 시험의 결과는 기대했던 바와 같은 개선은 없었다. 34주령, 38주령, 그리고 50주령 모두 3회에 걸쳐 부화 시험을 실시하였는데, 38주령 때에만 소폭 유의한 수정율과 부화율 증가가 나타났고(P<0.05), 전체적으로는 대구나 희토를 급여한 것이나 차이가 없었다. 이 현상은 희토를 급여하지 않은 대조구의 계군에는 숫 종계 폐사율이 높아 대조구에는 혈기 왕성한 젊은 수탉이 지속적으로 편입된 반면, 희토를 급여한 계군에는 노계 수탉이 수용되어 번식능력이 낮았을 것으로 사료되므로 올바른 비교가 될 수 없을 것으로 생각되었다. 본 시험의 결과 종계 사료에 희토의 사료 첨가로 종계의 빠르고 높은 산란 피크 도달과 향상된 산란 지속성 유지, 그리고 현격한 종계 폐사율 감소 등 생산성을 개선하는 효과가 있음을 보여주었다. 그러나 희토가 수정율이나 부화율에 미치는 영향은 앞으로 좀더 연구가 필요하다.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of nicorandil on arterial blood pressure and vascular contractile responses in the normotensive anesthetized rats and to establish the mechanism of action. Nicorandil (30~300 ${\mu}g/kg$) given into a femoral vein of the normotensive anesthetized rat produced a dose-dependent depressor response. These nicorandil-induced hypotensive responses were not affected by pretreatment with atropine (3.0 mg/kg, i.v.) or propranolol (2.0 mg/kg, i.v.), while markedly inhibited in the presence of chlorisondamine (1.0 mg/kg, i.v.) or phentolamine (2.0 mg/kg, i.v.). Futhermore, after the pretreatment with 4-aminopyridine (1.0 mg/kg/30 min, i.v.) or glibenclamide (50.0 ${\mu}g/kg$/30min) into a femoral vein made a significant reproduction in pressor responses induced by intravenous norepinephrine. In he isolated rat aortic strips, both phenylephrine (10$^{-5}$ M)- and high potassium (5.6 ${\times}\;10^{-2}$ M)-inducedcontractile responses were dose-dependently depressed in the presence of nicorandil (25~100 ${\mu}M$). Collectively, these experimental results demonstrate that intravenous nicorandil causes a dose-dependent depressor action in the anesthetized rat at least partly through the blockade of vascular adrenergic ${\alpha}_1$-receptors, in addition to the well-known mechanism of potassium channel opening-induced vasorelaxation.

Ginseng components were examined for their ability to modify immunotoxicity of cyclophosphamide. Ginseng polysaccharide fraction (FO, 300 mg/kg) inhibited decreases in the ratio of spleen to body weight, white blood cells (WBC) count and the number of plaque forming cells (PFC) induced by cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg, i.p.), and increased these variables in normal mice. Ginseng saponin fraction (50 mg/kg) showed to increase hemoglobin content as well as the number of PFC/spleen in normal mice. on the other hand, Panaxytriol (20 mg/kg) Prevented decrease in mc count by cyclophos phamide. Neither saponin fraction nor panaxytriol had any significant effect on the number of PFC and antibody titers in cyclophosphamide-treated mice. These results suggest that ginseng polysaccharine fraction may reduce the immunotoxicity of cyclophosphamide and may be effective in stimulating immune function in normal mice.

Banhasasim-tang(半夏瀉心湯), oriental medicine, has been used for the treatment of the gastric diseases and cimetidine, H2-receptor blocker, has been also used as the gastric ulcer remedy but has some side action. Therefore the concurrent administration of these two drugs may increase antiulcer activities and also decrease cimetidine's side action more than administrating one by one. In order to investigate antiulcer activities, some experiments were conducted. The concurrent administration of Banhasasim-tang extract(BS) and cimetidine(CM) given intraperitoneally (CM 50mg/kg + BS 300mg/kg and CM 50mg/kg + BS 500 mg/kg), significantly inhibited Shay, aspirin and indomethacin ulcers in rats.

Ohyaksungisan, combined preparation of crude drugs, has been used for hemiplegia, arthralgia and paralysis in traditional Korean medicine. The anti-inflammatory activity of the aqueous extract from Ohyaksungisan(OSSE) was investigated on acetic acid-induced edema and adjuvant arthritis in rats. Acute toxicity and analgesic action in mice were also examined. Its anti-inflammatory activity on 5% acetic acid-induced edema and adjuvant arthritis was observed with oral administration. The acute toxicity showed 10% mortality at 2400 mg/kg (p.o), but was not showed at 1200 mg/kg (i.p). OSSE was showed to have significant analgesic action (P<0.05) at 150 mg/kg and this action was strengthened at 300, 600 mg/kg. The anti-inflammatory effect was showed significant preventive effect on the hind paw edema from 90 min. and the adjuvant arthritis, when orally administered for 19 days. showed significant inhibitory effect on the hind paw edema from the 5th day.

The application of microwave technology has been investigated in the remediation of diesel-contaminated soil. The paper deals with economic assessment by means of cost analysis and degradation characteristics at different microwave powers for total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) in diesel contaminated soils. The soils from S Mountain around the D University were sampled. The samples were screened with 2.0 mm mesh and dried for 6 hours before the diesel was added into the dried soils. The diesel-contaminated soil (3,300 mg THP/kg soil) was prepared with diesel (S Co.). The drying process was carried out in a microwave oven, a standard household appliance with a 2,450 MHz frequency and 700 W of power. The experiments were conducted from 0 to 20 minutes as the microwave powers increased from 350W to 500W to 700W. The concentrations of TPH were analysed using a gas chromatography/mass spectrometer (GC/MS). The initial concentration of TPH was 3,300 mg TPH/kg soil. The weight of contaminated soil was 200g. The concentration of TPH was decreased to 1,828 mg TPH/kg soil (44.7%), 1,347 mg TPH/kg soil (59.2%) and 1,014 mg TPH/kg soil (69.3%) at 350W, 500W and 700W for 15 minutes respectively. In addition, the curve was best fit with first order kinetics using the least-square method. The ranges of a first order rate constant k and r-square were $0.0298{\sim}0.0375min^{-1}$ and $0.9373{\sim}0.9541$ respectively.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Jowiseungcheung-tang (JWSCT) extract on the lipid metabolism, anti-oxidation and inflammatory reflex. Methods : Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a high fat diet for 8 weeks and were randomly divided into 4 groups (10 mice in each group): control group, 100 mg/kg JWSCT group, 200 mg/kg JWSCT group, 300 mg/kg JWSCT group. The control group was administered 100 mg/kg of water, but the other three groups were administered 100, 200, 300 mg/kg JWSCT extract for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, we measured lipid level, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and cytokines in plasma and liver. The gene expression level and the ratio of apo-B and apo-E were then investigated by way of reverse transcription -polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results : In the JWSCT group, compared with the control, free fatty acid, triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, TBARS, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ decreased significantly in plasma and liver. However HDL-cholesterol, IL-10, GSH-Px, SOD and CAT increased. In the JWSCT group, compared with the control, the gene expression level and the ratio of apo-A and apo-E decreased significantly in the RT-PCR analysis. Conclusions : The extract of JWSCT has anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects.

Objectives : In this study, acute oral toxicity test of pomace Schisandra chinensis extracts was conducted in order to up-cycling to a high value-added industry using by-products discarded in the production process of Schisandra chinensis products and active ingredients such as dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans in Schisandra chinensis. Methods : Pomace Schisandra chinensis extracts were orally administered to SD-rats(female, n=3) without a control group according to the 'OECD guidelines'. After, mortality and clinical signs were observed, and the deceased animals were subjected to an autopsy. In addition, acute oral toxicity test was sequentially performed in step I (300 mg/kg), step II(300 mg/kg), step III(2,000 mg/kg), and step IV(2,000 mg/kg) according to the mortality. Results : There were no abnormalities caused by pomace Schisandra chinensis extracts in step I and step II. However, one animal each died in step III and step IV. In addition, clinical signs(salivation, decrease in food intake, prone position, decrease of locomotor activity, loss of locomotor activity, convulsion, hypothermia, lacrimation, staining around mouth, soiled perineal region, reddish urine, chromaturia, decrease of fecal volume, lying on side, blackish stool, no stool, compound-colored stool, refusal to feed, excitement, hypersensitivity, rigidity, dorsal position, etc.) were observed. But, no clinical signs were observed from 5th day, and experiment animals recovered completely. Conclusions : As a result of this study, pomace Schisandra chinensis extracts may exhibit acute toxicity at concentrations of 2,000 to 5,000 mg/kg, and the GHS classification was designated as 'Category 5'.

잘게 부순 유채씨를 토양에 처리하여 토양중의 선충을 친환경적으로 방제하고 오이의 수량을 높이고자 2007년부터 2009년까지 3년간 시험한 결과 토양에 유채종실의 시용량이 많을수록 처리 후 50일에 토양 중 cyanate의 량이 많은 것을 볼 수 있었는데 유채 200 kg/10a을 시용한 토양 중 thiocyanate의 량은 30 mg/kg, 400 kg/10a을 시용한 토양은 40 mg/kg 으로 조사되었다. 토양선충 밀도는 관행의 경우 토양 300 g당 463 마리로 피해유발 수준인 150마리보다 보다 훨씬 높은 밀도로 가시적인 피해가 나타났으나 유채를 처리한 모든 시험구 토양의 경우 토양 300 g당 13~17마리로 뿌리혹 선충의 피해는 나타나지 않았다. 수량은 유채 시 용량이 많을수록 6~15% 증수하는 경향이나 선충 피해 예방과 경제성을 고려할 때 10a당 200 kg를 시용하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료되었다.
