  • Purpose: Lingual nerve (LN) damage may be caused by either tumor resection or injury such as wisdom tooth extraction, Although autologous nerve graft is sometimes used to repair the damaged nerve, it has the disadvantage of necessity of another operation for nerve harvesting. Moreover, the results of nerve grafting is not satisfactory. The nerve growth factor (NGF) is well-known to play a critical role in peripheral nerve regeneration and its local delivery to the injured nerve has been continuously tried to enhance nerve regeneration. However, its application has limitations like repeated administration due to short half life of 30 minutes and an in vivo delivery model must allow for direct and local delivery. The aim of this study was to construct a well-functioning $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus for the ultimate development of improved method to promote peripheral nerve regeneration with enhanced and extended secretion of hNGF from the injured nerve by injecting $rhNGF-{\beta}$ gene directly into crush-injured LN in rat model. Materials and Methods: $hNGF-{\beta}$ gene was prepared from fetal brain cDNA library and cloned into E1/E3 deleted adenoviral vector which contains green fluorescence protein (GFP) gene as a reporter. After large scale production and purification of $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus, transfection efficiency and its expression at various cells (primary cultured Schwann cells, HEK293 cells, Schwann cell lines, NIH3T3 and CRH cells) were evaluated by fluorescent microscopy, RT-PCR, ELISA, immunocytochemistry. Furthermore, the function of rhNGF-beta, which was secreted from various cells infected with $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus, was evaluated using neuritogenesis of PC-12 cells. For in vivo evaluation of efficacy of $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus, the LNs of 8-week old rats were exposed and crush-injured with a small hemostat for 10 seconds. After the injury, $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus($2{\mu}l,\;1.5{\times}10^{11}pfu$) or saline was administered into the crushed site in the experimental (n=24) and the control group (n=24), respectively. Sham operation of another group of rats (n=9) was performed without administration of either saline or adenovirus. The taste recovery and the change of fungiform papilla were studied at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. Each of the 6 animals was tested with different solutions (0.1M NaCl, 0.1M sucrose, 0.01M QHCl, or 0.01M HCl) by two-bottle test paradigm and the number of papilla was counted using SEM picture of tongue dorsum. LN was explored at the same interval as taste study and evaluated electro-physiologically (peak voltage and nerve conduction velocity) and histomorphometrically (axon count, myelin thickness). Results: The recombinant adenovirus vector carrying $rhNGF-{\beta}$ was constructed and confirmed by restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA sequence analysis. GFP expression was observed in 90% of $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus infected cells compared with uninfected cells. Total mRNA isolated from $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus infected cells showed strong RT-PCR band, however uninfected or LacZ recombinant adenovirus infected cells did not. NGF quantification by ELISA showed a maximal release of $18865.4{\pm}310.9pg/ml$ NGF at the 4th day and stably continued till 14 days by $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus infected Schwann cells. PC-12 cells exposed to media with $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus infected Schwann cell revealed at the same level of neurite-extension as the commercial NGF did. $rhNGF-{\beta}$ adenovirus injected experimental groups in comparison to the control group exhibited different taste preference ratio. Salty, sweet and sour taste preference ratio were significantly different after 2 weeks from the beginning of the experiment, which were similar to the sham group, but not to the control group.

  • 최근 국내 기후 변화로 인해 열대 과일 재배가 가능해지게 되었다. 특히 대표적으로 제주도에서 애플망고의 재배가 활발히 이루어지고 있으며 이로 인해 소비자들의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 애플망고 과육을 제외한 껍질과 같은 부산물은 활용도가 떨어져 폐기되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 부산물로서 폐기되어지는 애플망고 껍질을 활용하기 위해 이를 이용하여 항산화 및 항염증 효과를 검증하고자 열수 및 70% 에탄올로 추출하여 실험을 진행하였다. 먼저 애플망고 껍질의 열수 및 70% 에탄올 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량을 확인하였으며, 그 결과 66.08 ± 0.12 mg TAE/100 g, 100.13 ± 0.23 mg TAE/100 g의 함량을 나타내었다. 항산화 활성을 측정하기 위해 전자공여능과 2,2'- azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) 라디칼 소거능을 측정하였다. 전자공여능 측정결과, 1,000 ㎍/ml 농도에서 열수 추출물은 86.89%가 나타났고, 70% 에탄올 추출물은 94.06%를 확인하였다. ABTS 라디칼 소거능을 측정 결과로 1,000 ㎍/ml 농도에서 열수 추출물은 80.62% 를 나타내었고, 70% 에탄올 추출물은 98.66%의 소거능을 확인하였다. 이로 인해 애플망고 껍질 추출물의 항산화 활성은 대조군인 비타민 C와 유사한 효과를 가진 것을 확인하였다. 애플망고 껍질 추출물의 세포 생존율을 측정한 결과, 대식세포인 RAW 264.7 세포에서는 500 ㎍/ml 농도에서 99% 이상의 세포 생존율을 확인하였다. 이후 세포실험은 세포생존율이 99% 이상인 농도구간을 설정하여 진행하였다. 염증성 매개 물질로 알려진 nitric oxide (NO)에 대한 생성 억제 효과를 확인한 결과, 애플망고 껍질의 열수 추출물은 46%의 억제 효과가 나타났고, 70% 에탄올 추출물은 40%의 억제 효과를 확인하여 애플망고 추출물의 NO 생성량 저해 효과를 가진 것을 확인하였다. 염증 매개 인자의 억제 효과를 확인하기 위해 RAW 264.7 세포를 이용하여 iNOS와 COX-2의 단백질 및 mRNA 발현량을 측정하였다. 그 결과, LPS 단독 처리군에 비해 애플망고 껍질 추출물을 처리하였을 때 iNOS와 COX-2의 단백질 발현량은 최종 농도인 500 ㎍/ml에서 열수 추출물은 12%, 97% 억제하는 것을 확인하였고, 70% 에탄올 추출물은 62%, 91% 억제하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 LPS 단독 처리군에 비해 iNOS와 COX-2의 mRNA 발현량 결과, 500 ㎍/ml 농도에서 열수 추출물은 3%, 33%의 억제효과를 확인하였고, 70% 에탄올 추출물은 29%, 36%의 억제효과가 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과들을 토대로 애플망고 껍질이 항산화 및 항염증 활성을 갖고 있는 것을 검증하여 천연 소재로서의 활용 가치가 높을 것으로 사료된다.

  • Fibricola seoulensis의 피낭유충을 in vitro 및 닭 장뇨막(chorioallantoic membrane)에서 배양하고 그 발육 및 성장을 흰쥐 및 갓난 병아리에서의 정상 성숙 과정과 비교하였다. 성숙 과정을 충체 염색 전체 표본과 절편 표본에서 현미경적으로 관찰하고 편의상 다음 여섯 시기로 구분하였다. 제 1시기 : 세포 증식, 제2시기 : 체형의 구성, 제 3시기 . 생식원기의 분리, 제 4시기 : 기된 형성기, 제 5시기 : 생식 분열기, 제 6시기 : 산란기 1. Hank's 및 Tyrode액에 $4^{\circ}C$에 보존한 피낭유충은 아무런 발육없이 200여일 이상 생존할 수 있음이 확인되었다. 2. 흰쥐 및 병아리 숙주 내(in vive)에서의 성숙 과정을 실험 감염 후 6시간에서 9일 사이에 회수한 충체의 발육 시기를 결정함으로써 경시적으로 관찰한 바 정상 숙주인 흰쥐에서 감염 후 6시간에서 tribocytic organ 내 선 세포의 수 증가가 인정되 었고(제 1시기), 24시 간에서 생식 활기의 증대와 전후 양부의 충체 형성이 시작되 었으 며(제 2시기), 48~72시간에서 생식 원기 세포 군의 분리가 인식되었다(제 3시기). 감염 후 3~4일째에서는 뚜 렷한 전후 층체의 구분과 난소 및 고환의 은과이 형성되기 시작하였으며(제 4시기), 4~5일째 충체에서는 자웅 생식기 및 난형성이 출현되었고(제 5시기), 5~8일째 충체에서는 산란을 인정할 수 있었다(제 6시기). 부화 12일째 된 병아리 실험 감염에서는 충체를 회수할 수 없었으나 112일 된 갓난 병아리에서는 제 5 내지 제 6시기로 인정되는 성숙된 충체를 회수하였다. 갓난 병아리에사의 피낭유충 실험 감염 후 성숙 과정은 정상 숙 주 내에서와 거의 유사하였다. 3. In vitro 내에서의 F. seoulensis 피낭유충은 완전한 성숙 과정을 관찰할 수 없었으나 생식 원기 세포 군의 분리를 관찰할 수 있는 제 3시기 까지의 발육 및 성장이 인정되었다. In vitro 배양 총체를 배양 전 penicillin (200단위/ml) 및 streptomycin ($100{\;}{\mu}g/ml$)을 포함한 생리 식염수에 수회 세척하는 살균 조작은 만족할 만한 결과를 가져 왔다. 각종 배지를 사용하였으나 이 중 NCTC 109(Gibco) 또는 NCTC 135(Gibco)에 20% 난환 또는 20% 전란 닥 리액 또는 0.5% yeast를 첨가한 것이 충체 발육 성장에 기초적으로 필요한 것이라 생각되었다. 각종 in vitro 배지 6종류 109개의 시험관에서 시험하였던 바 248마리 충체 중 11마리의 충체가 배양 후 평균 16.1일에 제 3시기에 도달하였으나 더 이상 성장하지는 못하신다. 4. 발육 중인 5일 테지 13일째 된 닭 대아(chick embryo)의 잔뇨막 상에서 $37~38^{\circ}C$로 3일 내지 13일간 배양 한 후 회수한 충체를 관찰한 라 이들의 발육 및 성장이 퀴 또는 병아리에서보다 상당히 지연되기는 하였으나 모든 발육 시기를 볼 수 있었다. 배양 충체에서 34일째는 아무런 발육을 인정할 수 없었으나 봬양 후 평균 5일 내지 10일 사이에 처음으로 제 1 내지 제 2시기 충체가, 평균 제 8일째에서는 제 3시기 충체를 발견할 수 있었다. 한편 소수이기는 하나 산란 시기의 성충 또는 그 이상 성숙한 충체도 배양 후 7일 내지 13일 사이에서 회수할 수 있었다. 따라서 닭 장뇨막 상에서도 성숙 과정의 진행이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 5. In mitre 배지에서 정상 숙주 또는 장뇨막상으로 이식 실험을 시행하였던 바 in vitro에서 in vivo 이식 실험은 성공하지 못하였으나, in vitro에서 장뇨막으로 및 장뇨막에서 in vivo 숙주로의 실험은 충체의 발육 성장과 관계없이 이식에는 성공하여 생존이 가능하였다. 이상의 결과로 F. seoulensis 피낭유충을 in vitro에서 보존할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 1~2일 된 갓난 병아리 또 는 닭 장뇨막 상에서 저율이기는 하나 성숙시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

  • Objectives Alismatis Rhizoma has been known to suppress inflammation and allergic reaction. However, the cellular target of Alismatis Rhizoma and its mechanism of action remain unclear. This study was designed to examine the effect of Alismatis Rhizoma extract (ALC) on the RBL-2H3 mast cells in vitro and on the OVA/alum sensitized mice ex vivo. Methods In the study, RBL-2H3 mast cells were cultured in minimal essential medium (MEM) for 24 hours, and treated separately with cyclosporin A and varying doses of ALC, and then stimulated with Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (50 ng/ml) and Ionomycin ($0.5{\mu}M$). The levels of IL-13, IL-4 were measured by ELISA analysis. The mRNA levels of IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, GM-CSF, $TNF-{\alpha}$ were analyzed with Real-time PCR. Also, manifestations of MAPKs transcription factors and $NF-{\kappa}B$ p65 translocation were analyzed by western blotting in vitro. Subsequently, for ex vivo experiment, we induced allergic inflammation on Balb/c mice by OVA/alum and administered ALC orally. And we measured serum OVA-specific IgE level and IL-4, IL-13 in the splenocyte culture supernatant by ELISA analysis. Results ALC was shown to suppress mRNA expression of IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, GM-CSF, $TNF-{\alpha}$, and to inhibit the IL-13, IL-4 production. Also ALC reduced an activation of mast cells specific signal MAPKs transcription factors and $NF-{\kappa}B$ p65 from the western blot analysis in in vitro experiment. In ex vivo, ALC oral adminstration decreased the level of OVA-specific IgE in serum, and IL-4, IL-13 in the splenocyte culture supernatant. Conclusions ALC is shown to reduce inflammation and allergic response by suppressing Th2 cytokines through the regulation of transcription factors MAPKs and $NF-{\kappa}B$ p65 in mast cells. Administration of ALC suppressed OVA-specific IgE in ovalbumin allergy model through the inhibition of Th2 cytokine. In conclusion, ALC can be considered as an effective treatment for allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis.

  • The main goal of this study was to produce transgenic piglets by the method of injection of sperm-mediated exogenous DNA. Spermatozoa (1$\times$106 sperm of final concentration) obtained from caudal epididymis were mixed with pBC1-hEPO (20 ng/${mu}ell$) or pcDNA3 LAC Z (20 ng/${mu}ell$), and followed by electroporation (500 V, 25 ㎌). Matured oocytes having the first polar body and dense cytoplasm were selected and centrifuged at 12,000g for 6 min. After sperm injection, the oocytes were activated electrically (1.7 ㎸/cm, 30 $\mu$ sec, single pulse) in 0.3 M mannitol solution. Eggs injected sperm were cultured in NCSU 23 medium (0.4% BSA) at 39$^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ in air for 192 h. This study were comprised 3 experiments. Experiment 1 compared the developmental efficiencies between the sperm-injected oocytes (Group 1) and further activated electrically (Group 2). Experiment 2 compared the expression of pcDNA3 LAC Z in the embryos produced by Group 1 and Group 2. Finally, experiment 3 carried out transfer of embryos (1-8 cell stage) transfected with pBC1 -hEPO into surrogate recipients synchronized by injection of combination of PG600 with hCG. The rates of cleavage and development into blastocyst stage in Group 2 were significantly higher than those of Group 1 (71.3% and 28.1% vs. 43.3% and 10.3%, respectively, p<0.05). Thirty (24.2%) out of 124 embryos analyzed in Group 2 were positive by X-gal. Similarly, in Group 1, 16.3% (8/49) were positive. After transfer of 789 embryos to 7 recipient gilts, three out of them examined by ultrasound became pregnant. One recipient is in day 50 pregnancy. On day 54 of gestation, two were carried out uterotomy in order to confirm the pregnancy One had 7 and another had 2 fetuses. We conclude that injection of sperm-mediated gene transfer will be used as a valuable tool for the production of transgenic piglets.

  • 본 연구는 아까시나무의 물 추출물, 에탄올 추출물 및 고온 추출물을 이용하여 마우스 대식세포주인 Raw 264.7 세포에 대해 염증억제 효과가 있는지 알아보고자 수행하였다. RP1(아까시 나무 물 추출물), RP2(아까시 나무 에탄올 추출물) 및 RP3(아까시 나무 고온 추출물)은 세포생존율 분석에서 $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$의 농도까지 Raw 264.7 세포에 세포독성을 나타나지 않았다. NO 생성 억제효과를 분석하였을 때 LPS 처리군과 비교하여 RP3는 약 87% 정도의 억제효과를 나타내 RP1과 RP2에 비해 NO 억제활성이 가장 높았다. 뿐만 아니라 RP3는 RP1과 RP2와 비교하여 염증매개인자의 억제율이 각각 $PGE_2$ (86.3%), $TNF-{\alpha}$ (64.1%), IL-6 (65.1%) 및 $IL-1{\beta}$ (63.3%)로 가장 높았다. 이는 RP3의 처리가 LPS에 의해 증가된 염증매개인자의 분비를 억제함을 통해 항염증 효과가 있을 것으로 생각되며, 염증관련 신호전달경로에 직접적으로 작용할 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 하지만 Raw 264.7 세포주는 염증조절복합체를 구성하는 ASC 단백질이 발현되지 않아 다른 신호전달 경로를 통해 염증매개인자를 분비하기 때문에, 설치류의 대식세포를 직접 일차배양(primary culture)하여 이에 관련된 신호전달경로를 확인하는 추가 실험이 필요하다고 사료된다.

  • 식물에 존재하는 천연물질은 예로부터 건강증진 및 질병치료를 위하여 다양하게 이용되어 왔고, 실제로 morphine, ephedrine 등과 같이 천연물에서 유래한 의약품이 현재에도 질병치료에 널리 응용되고 있다. 메밀 (Fagopyrum esculentum $M{\ddot{o}}ench$)의 proanghocyanidine, rutin, lignan 등은 항산화, 항균활성 및 항암효과를 나타내는 성분으로 보고 (Cassidy, 1996; Rym of al., 1996)되었다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 메밀의 기능성 물질의 확보와 가공을 통한 원료 고부가가치 창출을 목표로 국내산 메밀을 발이 길이별로 추출물을 제조하여 식품성 성분의 생리활성 인자를 탐색할 목적으로 각 길이별 추출물로 항산화활성 및 항미생물 활성을 측정하였다. 먼저, 항산화 활성에서 DPPH의 50%를 환원 시키는데 필요한 시료의 양$(RC_{50})$은 무발아에서 $50.41\;{\mu}g/mL$, 발아길이 10 mm에서 $80.57\;{\mu}g/mL$, 발아길이 2 mm에서 $93.77\;{\mu}g/mL$, 발아길이 5 mm에서 $107.09\;{\mu}g/mL$순으로 천연항산화제인 Vit. C $5.98\;{\mu}g/mL$보다는 약하지만, 합성항산화제인 BHT $163.96\;{\mu}g/mL$보다는 월등히 뛰어난 라디칼 소거능이 확인되었다. 발아 길이별 각 추출물의 항미생물 활성은 최고농도 $40\;mg/mL$에서 그람양성균인 S. aureus의 투명저지대의 직경이 4{\sim}10\;mm$ 였고, 그람음성균인 P. aeruginosa는 $2{\sim}9\;mm$의 범위에서 증식이 억제되어 항균활성은 비교적 높은 것으로 판단되었으며, 그 외의 균주에서는 본 실험에서 사용한 첨가농도로는 완전한 증식억제 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 무발아 시료와 비교할 때 발아가 진행되면서 항균력이 떨어졌다. 암세포 증식 억제효과는 최고농도 $800\;{\mu}g/mL$에서 Calu-6 세포의 경우 발아 길이 5 mm 시료에서 95.12%, 무발아 추출물은 87.15%의 높은 암세포 생육억제활성을 나타내었다. 동일 농도에서 발아 길이 5 mm인 시료의 경우 SNU-601에 대하여 85.33%의 억제효과를 보였다. 그러나 유방암세포인 MCF-7과 대장암세포인 Caco-2의 경우 최대농도의 시료를 첨가한 경우에도 세포증식을 억제하지 못하였다. 메밀의 발아 길이별 $IC_{50}$값을 살펴보면, Calu-6에서 발아 길이 5 mm 추출물에서 $301.06\;{\mu}g/mL$, SNU-601에서 2 mm 추출물이 $510.20\;{\mu}g/mL$로 탁월한 효과를 보였다. 즉, Calu-6와 SNU-601 세포주에 대한 $IC_{50}$은 대조군에 비해 발아에 의하여 세포독성 효과를 증가되었지만, MCF-7와 Caco-2에 대한 항암효과는 없음을 알 수 있었다.

  • A rise in the occurrence of allergic diseases is attributed to the dysregulated balance of type 1/type 2 immunity, where type 2 T-helper (Th2) cells predominate over type 1 T-helper (Th1) cells, leading to an abnormally increased production of IgE in response to unharmful antigens. Kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food, is a rich source of beneficial lactic acid bacteria. In this study, we investigated the ability of Enterococcus faecium FC-K derived from kimchi to induce type I immunity in the presence of Th2 polarizing conditions in vitro and in vivo. Stimulation of mouse peritoneal macrophages with E. faecium FC-K induced the production of tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-12. Under the in vitro Th2 conditions in which splenic T cells were activated in the presence of IL-4, E. faecium FC-K enhanced the ability of T cells to produce interferon $(IFN)-{\gamma}$. Using the ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergy model, male BALB/c mice receiving E. faecium FC-K reduced the serum level of total IgE, but not that of OVA-specific IgE. Furthermore, the population of activated splenic B cells during OVA immunization was decreased in E. faecium FC-K-treated mice, accounting for a reduction of total IgE in the serum. Restimulating splenocytes from OVA-immunized mice with OVA ex vivo resulted in an increased production of $IFN-{\gamma}$, with no effect on IL-4, in E. faecium FC-K-treated mice. These observations provide the evidence that E. faecium FC-K can be a beneficial probiotic strain that can modulate the Th2-mediated pathologic response.

  • Major objectives were to evaluate effects of three schemes of bST-supplementation of Holstein cows (142.8 mg/14 d, POSILAC) during the prepartum and/or postpartum periods through 63 d (${\pm}3d$) of lactation. Measures evaluated the potential of treatments to improve body weight (BW) and body condition score (BCS), provoke changes in plasma concentrations of somatotropin (ST) and IGF-I, and improve milk yield, milk composition (percentages of protein and fat, and somatic cell counts), and several calving variables. Multiparous Holstein cows were randomly assigned to a $2{\times}2$ factorial arrangement of treatments (TRT) to give four groups (I = no bST, n = 26; II = bST postpartum, n = 25; III = bST prepartum, n = 27; IV = bST prepartum and postpartum, n = 25). During the prepartum period, cows in groups I and II were not supplemented but those in groups III and IV were supplemented every 2-wk beginning 21 d before expected calving date through calving. During the first 63 DIM only cows in groups II and IV were supplemented with bST. From 64 DIM through the end of lactation cows in all groups were supplemented with the full lactation dose of bST (500 mg/14 d). The BW and BCS were recorded weekly throughout the prepartum and postpartum periods and every 2-wk beyond 70 DIM. Blood samples were collected 3-times a week for analyses of ST and IGF-I. Milk yields were recorded daily though 150 DIM. Prepartum supplementation of bST did not affect BW or BCS, but mean concentrations of ST were increased 12.2% and were 15.5% greater at calving. Overall, mean concentration of IGF-I was not affected by treatment but concentrations were greater at 1 and 2 wk before calving in bST-supplemented cows. During the first 63 DIM the BW and BCS were not affected by treatment. Significant effects of bST-supplementation were detected on concentrations of ST, IGF-I and on milk yield compared to non-supplemented cows in group I. Postpartum concentrations of ST were greater in bST-supplemented cows (TRT II and IV; +41.9 and 54.6%). However, concentrations of IGF-I were greater only in cows in group IV (+25.9%) during the postpartum period. Overall, the three bST-supplemented groups had greater actual milk yield than the control group (I) during the first 63 and 150 DIM. The actual milk yields during 63 and 150 DIM were 6.5 and 4.6 kg/d greater for cows in group IV than cows in group I and the 305-d ME milk yield also was 15.6% greater. No adverse effects of TRT were observed on calf birth weight, colostrum immunoglobulins, ease of calving or other measures evaluated.

  • Clinical perfusion data on 16 cases of cardiopulmonary bypass using Sigmamotor pump and RyggKyvsgaard Oxygenator which performed at Seoul National University Hospital during the period of Aug. 1968 to Aug. 1970 was analized. AIl cases were hemodiluted and the perfusion was carried out under the normothermic condition. The age of the patients ranged between 6 and 43 years. The b:dy weight varied between 18.3 and 54.0 kg and the body surface area between 0.78 and 1. 59$M^2$. The priming solution was consiste:I with fresh ACD blood. Hartmann solution and Mannitol. The average amount of priming was approximately 2242 ml. The average hemodilution rate was 17%. The flow rate ranged from 1.7L to 3.5L/Min/$M^2$ and averaged 2.4L/Min/$M^2$ or 78mI/Min/kg. The duration of perfusion varied from 22 to 110 min with average of 56.9 minutes. Some hemodynamic responses were observed. The arterial pressure dropped immediately after the initiation of partial perfusion and was more marked after the total perfusion foIlowed by gradual increase to the safety level. The central venous pressure reflected the reduced blood volume especially in the cases of prolonged perfusion which lasted over 60 min. In most of the cases, red blood cell count decreased and white blood ceIl count increased after the perfusion. Hemoglobin level was decreased, averaging of 12.5mg%, Hct 3.3% and platelets count of 18% postoperatively. Plasma hemoglobin increased mildly, from pre-perfusion average value of 4. 06mg% to postperfusion value of 22.5mg%. Serum potassium was 4.4mEq/L pre-operatively and was decreased to 3.7mEq/L postoperatively. Five cases showed definite hypopotassemia immediately after the operation. Sodium and chloride decreased mildly. These electrolyte changes are thought to be related with hemodilution. diuretics and reduced blood volume during and after the perfusion. Arterial blood pH value revealed minimal to moderate elevation from preperfusion average value of 7.376 to 7.461 during perfusion and then 7.365 after perfusion. The pC02 and hicarbonate showed minimal to moderately lowered values. The total CO2 was decreased. Buffer base decreased during perfusion (Av. 42.6mEq/L) and further decreased after the perfusion (Av. 40.8mEq/L). These arterial blood acid base changes suggested that the metabolic acidosis was accompanied by respiratory alkalosis during and immediately after the perfusion. Authors belived that the acidosis could more effectively be corrected with the more additional dose of bicarbonate than we used by this study. The chest tune drainage during the first 24 hours following operation was 1158 ml in average. One case (Case No. 15) showd definite bleeding tendency and it was believed that the cause might be due to the defect of heparin and protamine titration. The average urinary out put during 24 hours post-perfusion was 1291ml. One case (Case No. ]) showed definite post perfusion oliguria. As conclusion hemodilution using fresh ACD blood. Hartmann and Mannitol solution added with Bivon and high flow rate unler normothermia. was thought to amelioratc the severity of mctabolic acidosis during and after perfusion with relatively satisfactory effect on the diuresis and bleeding tendency.
