This study was undertaken to determine whether Juglandis Semen (JAS) extraction exerts protective effect against oxidant-induced inhibition of $Na^+$-pump activity in cerebral cortex. $Na^+$-pump activity was estimated by measuring ouabain-sensitive oxygen consumption. The oxygen consumption significantly inhibited by 1 mM t-butylhydroperoxide (tBHP), which was prevented by addition of 2% JAS extraction. The oxygen consumption was increased by an increase in $Na^+$ concentration from 5 to 100mM, $K^+$ concentration from 0.5 to 10 mM, and $Mg^{++}$ concentration from 0.2 to 5 mM. These changes in ion concentrations did not affect the inhibitory effct of tBHP and protective action of JAS on oxygen consumption. tBHP(1mM) produced a significant increase in lipid peroxidation in cerebral cortex, which was prevented by 2% JAS extraction. These result suggest that JAS exerts protective effect against tBHP-induced inhibition of $Na^+$-pump activity in the cerebral cortex, this effect may be due to by an antioxidant action.

Objectives : This study was to investigate using FIM(functional independence measure) in 70patients with stroke and to evaluate prognosis. Methods : The subjects of this study were 70 patients who were admitted to the Dong-Eui oriental hospital within 7days after stroke. Improving rate were measured by using the FIM(at admission, after 2week and 4week). Each patients was diagnosed with sasang constitutional analysis(QSCC ll), Brain-CT, MRI scan and clinical observation. Results : There were significant results statistically between FIM(degree of improvement) and sex, age, side of hemiparesis, and hypertension. While diabetes mellitus, heart disease, hypercholesterolemia, and severity of early state were not significant meaning statistically. Conclusions : Sex, age, side of hemiparesis, and hypertension were relevant factors in predicting the functional outcome in the patients with stroke. I thought that the meaning of man-left and woman-right(男左女右) is not severity of early state but degree of improvement.

Objectives : The purpose of this is to prove that using burning acupuncture therapy with chuna therapy can be more effective therapy for low bock pain patient. Methods : 43 patients with low back pan were divided into 2 groups; using burning acupuncture therapy with chuna therapy group and using chuna therapy only group. The patients were evaluated by visual analogue scale(VAS) and pain rating score(PRS). Results : Each group showed significant in decreasing VAS score and PRS score. After 2nd treatment, the sample group was significant mere effective in decreasing VAS. And after 3rd treatment, the sample group was significantly more effective in decreasing PRS(p<0.05). Constructive disease didn't affect the change of pain significantly. Conclusions : In this clinical study, using burning acupuncture therapy with chuna therapy group was more effective in relieving low back pain than using chuna therapy only group.

Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate the role of lipid peroxidation in oxidant-induced apoptosis and effect of JS on the apoptosis in opossum kidney (OK) cells, an established renal proximal tubular cells. Methods : Exposure of cells to 0.1mM tBHP for 2hr did not induce apoptosis, but subsequent incubation in normal culture medium for 18hr after tBHP treatment induced apoptotic cell death which is dependent of tBHP concentration. Results : JS decreased tBHP-induced apoptotic cell death in a dose-dependent fashion and at concentrations higher than 0.01 mg/ml completely prevented the apoptosis. tBHP-induced apoptosis was prevented by the lipid soluble antioxidant N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPPD) and water-soluble antioxidant Trolox. tBHP increased lipid peroxidation, which was inhibited by JS and DPPD. tBHP-induced DNA damage was prevented by JS and DPPD. Conclusion : These results indicate that tBHP induces apoptosis through a lipid peroxidation-dependent mechanism and JS exerts the protective effect against the apoptosis by preventing peroxidation of membrane lipids.

Objective : The present study was carried out to determine if Juglandis Semen Aquacupuncture(JSA) exerts beneficial effect against the urine concentrating defect induced by glycerol injection in rabbits. Methods : In order to test the effect of JSA, rabbits were acupunctured with $0.5m{\ell}$ of 1%JSA for 7days at both sides of $Sh{\grave{e}}ns{\bar{u}}$(BL23) before the glycerol injection. The other animals were pretreated with an equal volume of saline instead of JSA. Results : The urine flow was reduced, but the urine osmolality was significantly lower than the basal period in glycerol-injected animals, indicating that glycerol causes the urine concentrating defect. The fractional excretion of Na and K was increased in glycerol-treated animals. The Free-water clearance and fractional water excretion(V/GFR) were increased in animals treated with glycerol. Conclusion : These results indicate that glycerol injection resulted an impairment in the urine concentrating ability in rabbits. Such changes were prevented by JSA. JSA may be used as a method to treat and prevent glycerol-induced acute renal failure.

Objective : This study was undertaken to determine whether Cordyceps sinensis Sacc. (CSS) extract exerts the protective effect against oxidant-induced alterations in membrane transport function in renal tubules. Methods : Membrane transport fucntion was estimated by examining alterations in p-aminohippurate (PAH) uptake in rabbit renal cortical slices. For induction oxidative stress, slices were treated with an organic peroxide cumene hydroperoxide for 60 min at $37^{\circ}C$. Cumene hydroperoxide inhibited PAH uptake in a time dependent manner. Results : CSS at 0.5-5% concentrations prevented cumene hydroperoxide-induced inhibition of PAH uptake. CSS at 1% also attenuated LDH release and lipid peroxidation induced by cumene hydroperoxide. When slices were treated with 0.2 mM mercury chloride, PAH uptake was inhibited and lipid peroxidation was increased. These changes by mercury were significantly prevented by CSS. Conclusion : These results suggest that CSS prevents oxidant-induced alterations in membrane transport function in rabbit renal cortical slices. Such protective effect of CSS may be attributed to inhibition of peroxidation of membrane lipid.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to show the effectiveness of Chuna Cranio-Sacral Therapy for remaining pain and muscle strength decrease after herniated intervertebral disc surgery. Methods : Two patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome(FBSS) were hospitalized and treated by Korean medical treatments with Chuna Cranio-Sacral Therapy. The Range of Motion(ROM) of the lumbar spine and Manual Muscle Test(MMT) were adopted to measure the resulting motor recovery after treatment. And the Numerical Rating Scale(NRS) was adopted to measure changes of pain level. Two patients both had Chuna Cranio-Sacral Therapy category III disorder with short right leg. We applied category III blocking technique everyday for 20 minutes with Korean medical treatments. Results : In both cases, the range of motions were improved and the pain level decreased. And in case 1, muscle strength also showed improvements. Conclusions : We suggest Chuna Cranio-Sacral Therapy is effective for pain decrease and motor recovery of FBSS patients. Further studies are needed to set up an Korean medical protocol for FBSS.
