Since the first report of Drury and $Szent-Gy{\ddot{o}}rgyi$ in 1929, the inhibitory influences of adenosine on the heart have repeatedly been described by many investigators. These studies have shown that adenosine and adenine nucleotides have overall depressant effects, similar to those of acetylcholine. Heart beats become slow and weak. It is also well known that adenosine is a potent endogenous coronary vasodilator. Many investigations on the working mechanisms of adenosine have been focused mainly on the effects of the coronary blood flow. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying the inhibitory action of adenosine on sinus node are not well understood yet. Thus, this study was undertaken to examine the behavior of rabbit SA node under influence of adenosine. In these series of experiments three kinds of preparations were used: whole atrial pair, left atrial strip, and isolated SA node preparations. The electrical activity of SA node was recorded with conventional glass microelectrodes 30 to 50 $M{\Omega}$. The preparations were superfused with bicarbonate-buffered Tyrode solution of pH 7.35 and aerated with a gas mixture of $3%\;CO_2-97%\;O_2$ at $35^{\circ}C$. In whole atrial pair, adenosine suppressed sinoatrial rhythm in a dose-dependent manner. Effect of adenosine on atrial rate appeared at the concentration of $10^{-5}M$ and was enhanced in parallel with the increase in adenosine concentration. Inhibitory action of adenosine on pacemaker activity was more prominent in the preparation pretreated with norepinephrine, which can steepen the slope of pacemaker potential by increasing permeability of $Ca^{+2}$. Calcium ions in perfusate slowly produced a marked change in sinoatrial rhythm. Elevation of the calcium concentration from 0.3 to 8 mM increased the atrial rate from 132 to 174 beats/min, but over 10 mM $Ca^{+2}$ decreased. The inhibitory effect of adenosine on sinoatrial rhythm developed very rapidly. Atrial rate was recovered promptly from the adenosine-induced suppression by the addition of norepinephrine, but extra $Ca^{+2}$ was less suitable to restore the suppression of atrial rate. Adenosine suppressed also atrial contractility in the same dosage range that restricted pacemaker activity, even in the reserpinized preparation. In isolated SA node preparation, spontaneous firing rate of SA node at $35^{\circ}C$(mean{\pm}SEM, n=16) was $154{\pm}3.3\;beats/min. The parameters of action potentials were: maximum diastolic potential(MDP), $-73{\pm}1.7\;mV: overshoot(OS), $9{\pm}1.4\;mV: slope of pacemaker potential(SPP), $94{\pm}3.0\;mV/sec. Adenosine suppressed the firing rate of SA node in a dose-dependent manner. This inhibitory effect appeared at the concentration of $10^{-6}M$ and was in parallel with the increase in adenosine concentration. Changes in action potential by adenosine were dose-dependent increase of MDP and decrease of SPP until $10^{-4}M$. Above this concentration, however, the amplitude of action potential decreased markedly due to the simultaneous decrease of both MDP and OS. All these effects of adenosine were not affected by pretreatment of atropine and propranolol. Lowering extra $Ca^{2+}$ irom 2 mM to 0.3 mM resulted in a marked decrease of OS and SPP, but almost no change of MDP. However, increase of perfusate $Ca^{2+}$ from 2 mM to 6 or 8 mM produced a prominent decrease of MDP and a slight increase of OS and SPP. Dipyridamole(DPM), which is known to block the adenosine transport across the cell membrane, definately potentiated the action of adenosine. The results of this experiment suggest that adenosine suppressed pacemaker activity and atrial contractility simultaneously and directly, by decreasing $Ca^{2+}-permeability$ of nodal and atrial cell membranes.

The uterus receives adrenergic terminals from the mesenteric ganglia and considerably large amount of catecholamines have been shown to be contained in this organ. On the other hand, the activities of epinephrine, norepinephrine or adrenergic nerve on uterine motility is so complicated that many controversial results have been reporter. Recently, a large number of reports concerning the changes of uterine catecholamines content have appeared, but little is known about the role of uterine catecholamines in their activities on uterine motility. The present experiments were undertaken to determine the significance of the intrinsic uterine catecholamines in the physiology of uterus. Female albino rabbits weighing approximately 2 kg were employed in this experiment. uterine strip3 were prepared and suspended in a constant temperature $bath(38^{\circ}C)$ containing 100 ml of Locke's solution aerated with 95% oxygen and 5% carbon dioxide. Spontaneous motility was recorded on a smoked drum with an isotonic lever. The catecholamines concentration of the uterus was determined according to the Procedure described of Shore and Olin (1958). Human uterus obtained from patients was also used to determine the catecholam ines content of myometrium. Followings are summarized results. 1) On the non-pregnant rabbit uterine strips, epinephrine and norepinephrine significantly elevated the tonus and stimulated the spontaneous motility. Pretreatment with dichloroisoproterenol(DCI), an adrenergic beta-receptor blocker, enhanced the stimulatory activity of epinephrine or norepinephrine. On the other hand, pretreatment with dibenamine, an adrenergic alpha-receptor blocker, rendered the uterine muscle to exhibit inhibition after the administration of epinephrine or norepinephrine. Following the treatment with both DCI and dibenamine, epinephrine or norepinephrine produced no appreciable effects on the spontaneous motility of the uterus. These results suggest there exist both alpha and beta-adrenergic receptors in the uterine muscle and the response to epinephrine of the former is predominant over that of latter in the non-pregnant uterus of rabbits. The total catecholamines concentration of the non-pregnant uterus was $351\;m{\mu}g/g$ and the fractional concentrations of epinephrine and norepinephrine were $125\;m{\mu}g/g(35.7%)$ and $226\;m{\mu}g/g$ respectively. It is interesting to note that the catecholamines content of uterus was characterized by a high fractional corcentration of epinephrine relative to norepinephrine. 2) On the pregnant rabbit uterine strips, the effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine varied according to the period of pregnancy. The response to epinephrine of adrenergic beta receptor of uterus increased during pregnancy, and the effect of catecholamine was inhibitory in the early pregnancy but became stimulatory as the pregnancy progressed. This stimulating action on the uterine motility was found to occur through the action of norepinephrine. The uterine catecholamines concentration was markedly reduced during pregnancy. The catecholamines concentration was started to decrease in the early pregnancy, reached the lowest level in the mid-pregnancy and then started to increaae again in the late pregnancy when the total catecholamines content became the highest level of all. This increase of catefholamines in late pregnancy was chiefly due to the increase of norepinephrine. These results suggest that the uterine motility may be related to the catecholamines content, especially norepinephrine content in the uterus. 3) Bilateral oophorectomy of rabbits results in a marked shrink of the uterus in size. The spontaneous motility of the uterine segment of these animals was very weak and irregular. Norepinephrine produced inhibitory effect, whereas epinephrine was stimulatory or inhibitory effect on the uterine segment. The total catecholamines tontent in whole uterus was markedly reduced. The injection of estrogen into the oophorectornized rabbit increased the weight of uterus to approximately three times of that of oophorectornized animal. The apontaneous motility and the response to epinephrine and norepinephrine of the uterine segment were greatly enhanced. Both epinephrine and norepinephrine produced a marked stimulatory effects of the uterine motility. The uterine content of catecholamines, particularly epinephrine, was markedly increased. The injection of progesterone into the oophorectornized rabbit increaeed the weight of uterus to approximately 2.5 times of that of eophorectornized animal. The spontaneous motility of the uterine segment was weak and irregular. Epinephrine produced stimulatory effect at high concentrations but norepinephrine always prcdnced inhibitory effect on the uterine segment. The uterine content of catecholamines, particularly of norepinephrine, was markedly reduced. These results suggested that ovarian hormones play an important role not only on the growth and spontaneous norepinephrine of uterus but also on the catecholamines content and responee to epinephrine and norepinephrine of the uterus. 4) The intraperitoneal injection of reserpine(3 mg/kg) into the non-pregnant, pregnant and oophorectornieed rabbits markedly decreased the uterine content of catecholamines, particularly of the norepinephrine. The stimulatory response to epinephrine and. norepinephrine of the uterine segment of these reserpinized ratbits was markedly reduced whereas the inhibitory response to these catecholamines was enhanced. This finding further support the close relationship between the uterine catecholamines content and uterine response to epineptrire and norepinephrine. 5) In the human uterus, the concentration of epinephrine was actrally greater than that of norepinephrine and it was significantly greater during the proliferative phase of the menstrtal cycle. In the human pregnant uterus, the concentrations of toth epinephrine and ncrefinephrine were markedly reduced and showed about 45 percent rednction after 6-8 weeks of ectopic Pregnancy. At full term ana during labor, the concentrations of epinephrine and norepinephrine at placental sites were less than those found in the non-pregnant group. Of interest was the finding that the norepinephrine concentration of uterus from toxemic patients was two and half times higher than that of lower uterine segment of the nontoxemic pregnant individuals. Also the epinephrine concentraticn was slightly increaeed.

The effects of ouabain on the contractile and electrical activities were investigated in the isolated preparations of guinea-pig taenia coli, and compared with those of vanadate. Spontaneous contractions were recorded with force transducer, and electrical activites were measured by use of suction electrode, or single sucrose-gap technique. The contractions were induced by the electrical stimulation for 5 seconds every 1 minute with alternating current (60 Hz, 3.0 V/cm) through the platinum electrodes located in parallel with the long axis of the preparation. All experiments were performed in tris-buffered Tyrode solution which was aerated with $100%{\;}O_2$ and kept at $35^{\circ}C$. The results obtained were as follows: 1) Responses of spontaneous contractions to ouabain were concentration-dependent; $10^{-7}M$ ouabain caused a rise of basal tone. Above the concentration of $10^{-6}M$ ouabain, an initial increase followed by a decrease in tension was observed. 2) A continuous spike discharge was induced by the administration of $10^{-7}M$ ouabain. Above $10^{-6}M$ ouabain, a transient initial increase followed by a decrease in spike frequency and amplitude was produced, and finally membrane potential was sustained at a certain level without a spike discharge. 3) The characteristic response to $10^{-7}M$ ouabain was not blocked by the pretreatment with $10^{-7}M$ atropine. 4) The electrically induced contractions were completely suppressed at the concentration of $2{\times}10^{-7}M$ ouabain. These contractions were blocked more rapidly in paralled with the increase in ouabain concentration. 5) Effects of vanadate on the spontaneous activities were quite different from those of ouabain; $10^{-6}M$ vanadate increased the amplitude of contractions and $10^{-5}M$ vanadate increased slightly both amplitude and frequency of spontaneous contractions. $10^{-4}M$ vanadate showed irregular phasic contractions superimposed on the increased basal tone. 6) $10^{-5}M$ vanadate depolarized the membrane potential and shortened the interval between the bursts of spike discharge, whereas $10^{-4}M$ vanadate induced continuous spike discharge with membrane depolarization. 7) Vanadate caused a characteristic inhibitory response to the contractions induced by electrical stimulation; An initial rapid inhibition of tension development and then gradual recovery to a certain level. From the above results, the following conclusions could be made: 1) The rise of basal tone at $10^{-7}M$ ouabain is due to continuous spike discharge without a silent period. The continuous spike discharge is likely to be associated with a slight membrane depolarization caused by the blockage of Na pump. 2) The biphasic response induced by above $10^{-6}M$ ouabain seems to occur by the different mechanisms. The initial increase in tension is associated with depolarization along with an increase in spike frquency, whereas the subsequent relaxation occurs through a non-electrical mechanism. 3) The characteristic response to $10^{-7}M$ ouabain is resulted not from the action on intrinsic nerve terminal, but from its direct action on the membrane of smooth muscle cells. 4) The phasic contractions superimposed on the increased basal tone at the concentration of $10^{-4}M$ vanadate is resulted from the continuous spike discharge with membrane depolarization, of which mechanism remains unknown. 5) The inhibitory action of ouabain on the electrically induced contractions suggests that the increasein intracellular Na in some way inhibits the electrically induced $Ca^{2+}$ influx. The mechanism of vanadate action on the induced contractions remains unknown.

The effects of pre-treatments, the hot water extraction of wood meal and the addition of chemical ($CaCl_2$) to wood-cement water system on the properties of wood-cement composite such as modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), water sorption ratio and swelling ratio of resulting boards were studied in this experiment. The wood meals through 0.83mm(20 mesh) and retained on 0.42mm(35 mesh) screen were prepared from Pinus densiflora S. at Z. and Larix leptolepsis G. For hot water extraction, 500 grams of wood meal for each species were heated to boiling with 1,500ml of distilled water in 2-liter beaker for 6 hours. Every 2 hours, the wood meals were washed with boiling distil1ed water and reheated to boiling again. After 6 hours boiling, the boiled wood particles were collected by pouring this particles on 200 mesh screen. The collected particles then washed twice with hot distilled water and dried for 24 hours in an oven at $109{\pm}20^{\circ}C$. A mixture of 663.4 grams of cement with 331.7 grams of wood meal based on oven-dry weight were dry-mixed in a plastic vessel. The mixture was kneaded with 497.6ml of distilled water in the ratio of 1.5ml of water to a gram of wood meal. To add calcium chloride to the mixture as an accelerator, $CaCl_2$ 4% solution by weight per volume, was added to pine-or larch-cement board in the ratio of 3% to cement weight. To set wood-cement board, this mixture was clamped at 30cm ${\times}$ 30cm, in thickness of 1.5cm for 3 days at room temperature, declamped and then placed at open condition for 17 days. The target density was 1.0. The four specimens sized to 5cm in width and 28cm in length were used for MOR and MOE test for each treatment. After MOR test, the tested specimens were cut to the size of 5cm ${\times}$ 5cm for water sorption and swelling test. The twenty specimens used to measure the water sorption ratio (soaking 24 hours) and ten of these were used for swelling ratio measurement The results obtained were as follows: 1) Larch was not suitable for wood-cement boards because larch-cement board developed no strength, but pine showed 97.9kg/$cm^2$ by hot water extraction. 2) To increase MOR, hot water extraction was more effective than the addition of $CaCl_2$ in pine and larch because the $CaCl_2$ addition was seemed to speed up the ratio of cement hydration without reacting with the wood substances. 3) The water sorption ratio was lowered by the addition of $CaCl_2$ to wood-cement system because the chemical additive accelerated the rate of cement hydration. 4) In pine-cement board, the swelling ratio from 0.37 to 0.42 percent was observed in length and the swelling ratio from 0.88 to 2.0 percent in thickness. As a rule, the swelling ratio of wood-cement board was very low and the swelling ratio in thickness was higher than in length.

GABA는 중추신경계의 대표적인 신경전달 물질로서 $GABA_A$수용체 또는 $GABA_B$수용체에 작용하여 진정 작용, 항 불안 작용, 및 근이완 작용을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 근래에는 말초조직에도 GABA가 존재하며 신경조정인자 혹은 신경전달인자로서 작용한다는 보고가 있다. 정관에 대한 자율신경 지배는 아드레날린성, 콜린성과 비콜린성 비아드레날린성 신경섬유들이 분포하고 있으나, 종 혹은 부위에 따라 이들 구성요소들의 수축성에 대한기여도가 다른 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 실험에서는 흰쥐의 전립선 부위 정관의 기본장력 및 전기장 유발 수축에 대한 교감 신경성, 부교감 신경성 및 퓨린성 효현제의 영향을 관찰하였으며, 정관의 흥분성 약물 및 전기장 유발 수축에 미치는 GABA 및 GABA 관련 약물의 영향을 관찰함으로서 정관의 수축운동에 대한 GABA의 작용기전을 규명해 보고자 흰쥐(Sprague-Dawley)의 전립선 부위 정관 절편을 적출 근편 실조에 현수하고, 등척성 장력을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. GABA, muscimol 및 baclofen은 전기장자극(0.2 Hz, 1 msec, 80 V) 유발 수축을 농도 의존적으로 억제하였으며 그 효력은 GABA, baclofen 그리고 muscimol 순이었다. 2. GABA의 억제작용은 $GABA_B$ 수용체 길항제인 DAVA에 의하여 길항되었으나, $GABA_A$ 수용체 길항제인 bicuculline에 의해서는 길항되지 않았다. 3. Baclofen의 억제작용은 DAVA에 의하여 길항되었으나 muscimol의 억제작용은 bicuculline에 의해서는 길항되지 않았다. 4. Norepinephrine과 ATP는 농도 의존적으로 정관의 수축력을 증가 시켰으나 acetylcholine은 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 5. GABA, baclofen 및 muscimol은 정관의 기본 장력에는 영향을 미치지 않았으며, GABA는 norepinephrine과 ATP 유발 수축에는 영향을 주지 못하였다. 6. 적출 정관을 20초간 전기장 자극을 가하였을 때 ATP 수용체 탈감작제인 mATP를 전처치한 경우에는 FPC가 감소되었고, 신경원에서 catecholamine을 고갈시키는 reserpine을 전처치한 경우에는 STC가 감소되었다. 7. GABA는 mATP를 전처치한 군에서는 정관의 전기장 유발 수축에 영향을 주지 못하였으나, reserpine을 전처치한 군에서는 전기장 유발 수축을 억제하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 흰쥐정관의 전립선 부위에는 아드레날린성 신경전달기전과 퓨린성 신경전달기전이 동시에 작용하고 있으며, GABA는 주로 신경원의 $GABA_B$ 수용체를 통하여 ATP의 유리를 억제하는 것으로 사료된다.

연구배경 : 결핵균 항원으로 세포 매개성 면역반응이 활성화되면 여러 종류의 cytokine이 분비되고 각기 다른 cytokine과 network system으로 작용하여 여러 병태생리적인 과정을 조절한다. 결핵 환자에서 염증반응, 조직파괴 및 질환의 중증도는 proinflammatory cytokine과 suppressive cytokine의 균형과 조합에 의하여 결정되며, 결핵 진행의 제한과 악화에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 생각되고 있다. 따라서 결핵의 이환과정에서 cytokine의 분비 및 변화와 역할을 파악하는 것이 질환의 병태생리를 이해하는데 크게 도움이 될 수 있다. 대상 및 방법 : 활동성 폐결핵 83명, 기관지 결핵 10명의 치료전과 정상 대조군 20명에서 말초혈액을 채취하여 혈청을 분리하여 $-70^{\circ}C$에 보관하였고, sandwich ELISA 방법을 이용하여 혈청 IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12(p40), TNF-${\alpha}$, IFN-${\gamma}$, TGF-${\beta}$를 측정하였다. 폐결핵 환자 83명을 ATS guideline에 따라 중증도를 분류하였고, 추적관찰 중 탈락자를 제외한 45명에서 초치료 2개월과 6개월 후 각각 혈청 sIL-$1{\beta}$, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12(p40), TNF-${\alpha}$, IFN-${\gamma}$, TGF-${\beta}$를 재측정하였다. 결 과 : 1) IL-$1{\beta}$, TNF-${\alpha}$, IFN-${\gamma}$는 폐결핵 환자에서 대조군에 비하여 증가된 경향을 보였고(p>0.05), IL-6는 폐결핵군에서 통계적으로 유의하게 증가되었다(p<0.05). TGF-${\beta}$는 폐결핵과 기관지 결핵환자에서의 분비가 대조군에 비하여 감소된 경향을 보였으며(p>0.05), IL-2, IL-12(p40), IL-4, IL-10은 대조군과 폐결핵 환자에서 별다른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 2) 기관지 결핵 환자에서 IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$는 대조군에 비해 증가되고 TGF-${\beta}$는 감소된 경향을 보였다(p>0.05). 폐결핵에 비해 IL-12(p40)의 분비는 증가된 경향을 보였다. 3) 결핵의 중증도가 심할수록 IFN-${\gamma}$와 IL-6가 유의하게 증가하였고(P<0.05), 특히 중증군에서 현저하였다. 4) 폐결핵 환자에서 치료전 측정한 IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$ 간 및 IL-2, IL-4, IL-12 간에는 강한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). 5) 폐결핵 환자 45명에서 측정한 IL-6와 IFN-${\gamma}$는 치료후 2개월과 6개월에 각각 통계적으로 유의하게 감소되었다(p<0.05). 결 론 : 이상의 결과로 결핵의 병태생리에 있어서 여러 cytokine간의 균형과 조합의 변화가 숙주의 염증, 조직파괴 및 결핵의 중증도와 관련되어 있을 것으로 생각되지만 결핵의 형태나 면역반응 정도에 따른 다양성을 보여서 결과의 해석과 cytokine 측정의 임상적 이용에 대한 연구가 더욱 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

단순 가공 식재료 개발의 고부가가치와 국내산 식품재료의 활용도를 높이기 위하여 무생채 원재료인 무와 배를 혼합한 무배생채를 개발하여 저장 중 미생물학적 및 품질특성을 측정하였으며, 매실 소스를 개발하여 레시피 기준 설정을 위한 관능적 특성을 평가한 결과는 다음과 같다. 단순가공 과정을 거친 무배생채(SWRP)와 무생채(Control)에 오염된 총호기성균은 무배생채는 $3.20{\pm}0.08$ log CFU/g, 무생채는 $3.00{\pm}0.14$ log CFU/g으로 낮은 수준의 균이 검출되었다. 저장 기간 중 무배생채와 무생채의 총호기성균은 5.00 log CFU/g 미만의 수치를 나타내었다. 대장균 또한 무배생채는 $3.20{\pm}0.08$ log CFU/g, 무생채는 $1.84{\pm}0.17$ log CFU/g으로 낮은 수준의 균이 검출되었다. 효모 및 곰팡이의 경우 무배생채는 저장 기간 중 1.09~2.64 log CFU/g, 무생채의 저장기간 중 2.23~2.76 log CFU/g으로 낮은 수치로 검출되었다. 무배생채의 0일 pH는 5.99~6.09였으며, 무생채의 0일 pH는 5.93~5.96으로 유사한 pH 범위를 보였다. 무배생채의 경우, 3일 이후 유의적으로 pH가 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, 무생채는 1일 이후부터 유의적으로 증가하였다. 산도는 pH와 유사한 경향으로 혼합 무배생채의 산도 변화가 적었다. 명도(lightness) 측정 결과, 혼합 무배생채는 3일 이후 명도가 낮아졌으며, 무생채는 저장 5일 이후 유의적으로 감소하여 갈변이 일어난 것을 확인할 수 있었다(p<0.05). 적색도(redness)의 경우 혼합 무배생채와 무생채 모두 저장 3일 이후 적색도가 유의적으로 낮아졌다. 황색도(yellowness)는 적색도와 반대로 혼합 무배생채와 무생채 모두 저장기간이 길어질수록 황색도가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 저장 기간에 따른 배의 경도는 저장 3일부터 경도가 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 무의 경도는 저장 5일부터 경도가 감소하였다(p<0.05). 전반적으로 배가 무보다 경도가 낮았는데, 이는 배가 무에 비해 수분함량이 높고, 배 특유의 조직감이 원인이라 사료된다. 관능적 특성 결과, 맛(taste)과 원재료의 어울림(harmony of ingrediegnt) 그리고 소스의 어울림(harmony of sauce)은 배 30% 첨가군이 가장 우수하게 평가되었다. 전반적인 바람직성(ovrall preference) 역시 배 30% 첨가군이 가장 높게 평가되었다. 따라서 본 연구 결과, 국내 외식 및 급식업체용 단순가공 식품재료로 무배생채가 이용되는 경우 미생물적 특성 및 관능적 특성을 고려할 때 무 70%와 배 30%를 혼합한 무배생채를 최대 3일 저장하는 것이 최적의 저장기간으로 바람직하며, 미생물학적 안전성을 고려할 때 매실소스를 이용한 혼합 무배생채가 관능적 품질에서도 우수한 것으로 판단된다.
