In order to prove the anticonvulsive effect of the fragrance of Magnoliae Flos in convulsion-induced mice, experiments were performed on anticonvulsive effect, GABA level, glutamic acid level, GABA-T activity and GAD activity. The results were obtained as follows: 1. As far as anticonvulsive effect was concerned, on the convulsion induced by such as maximal electric seizure, strychnine, bicuculline, or picrotoxin it was not significant, but the convulsion induced by pentylenetetrazole it was significant comparing to the control group. 2. GABA level was increased significantly in mice. 3. Glutamic acid level was decreased significantly in mice. 4. GABA-T activity was decreased by the fragrance of Magnoliae Flos. 5. The fragrance of Magnoliae Flos was not effective in GAD activity. From above result, the fragrance of Magnoliae Flos had significant effects on convulsion induced by pentylenetetrazole, so it is expected to clinical application on convulsive diseases such as epilepsy.

For experimental studies on the anticonvulsion effect and it was measured in mice that toxigenic effect, influence on the central nervous system, anticonvulsion effect, mechanism of anticonvulsion effect by change of GABA level and glutamic acid in brain, effect of the creation and degradation system of brain oxygen free radicals in convulsion. The results were obtained as follows: 1. Samulanshintang was perfect medicine without toxigenic effect. 2. Pretreatment of Samulanshintang did not influence on the central nervous system. 3. Pretreatment of Samulanshintang did not influence on maximal electric seizure(MES), strychnine, bicuculine and picrotoxin, but pentylenetrazol(PTZ)-induced convulsion significantly decreased. 4. Effect of Samulanshintang except for Jinsa on the PTZ-Induced convulsion decreased. 5. Effect of Samulanshintang fragrance(SMATF) and Samulanshintang distiled water(SMATW) on the PTZ-induced convulsion did not influence. 6. Decrease of brain GABA level in PTZ-induced convulsion was increased by pretreatment of Samulanshintang. 7. Decrease of brain glutathione content in PTZ-induced convulsion was increased by pretreatment of Samu- lanshintang. 8. GABA-T activity increased by PTZ-induced was controlled by the pretreatment of Samulanshintang. 9. Increase of brain lipid peroxide content in PTZ-induced convulsion was decreased by pretreatment of Samulanshintang. 10. Significant increase of brain xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase activities in PTZ-induced was controlled by pretreatment of Samulanshintang. 11. Decrease of brain superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities in PTZ-induced was decreased by pretreatment of Samulanshintang. From the above results, Samulanshintang was perfect medicine without toxigenic effect and was recognized anticonvulsion effect by decreasing brain glutamic acid level and increasing brain GABA level. Samulanshintang have an effect on creation and degradation system of brain oxygen free radicals in convulsion, thus it was considered that Samulanshintang could be applied in convulsive disorder as epilepsy, febrile seizure and spasm etc.

Objectives: Ethanol withdrawal following its chronic use is a serious outcome and challenging to treatment. The chronic use of ethanol induces a progressive neuroplasticity in different reigns of brain. In this study we evaluated the effects of aqueous extract of Crocus sativus L. (saffron) and its active compound, crocin, on the withdrawal behavior induced after repeated administration of ethanol, in two regimens of prophylactic (administration of drugs concomitant with the induction of dependence) and treatment (administration of drugs during the period of ethanol withdrawal) in mice which received ethanol. Methods: Ethanol dependence was induced by oral administration of 10% v/v ethanol (2 g/kg) for 7 days. The aqueous extracts of saffron (40, 80 and 160) and crocin (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg) were administered to mice in two regimens of prophylactic (along with ethanol) and treatment (during withdrawal period). Diazepam (1 mg/kg) was used as a positive control. Six hours after discontinuation of the ethanol, seizure was evaluated by the sub-convulsive dose of pentyleneltetrazole (PTZ) (30 mg/kg). The open field test and Rota rod test were used for evaluation of locomotor activity and motor incoordination, respectively. Results: Both extracts and crocin increased the number of crossed lined in the open field test. PTZ kindling seizure was inhibited in animals received extract (80 and 160 mg/kg) in both regimens. Motor incoordination was only improved following administration of crocin. Conclusion: The aqueous extract of saffron and crocin can be considered as safe agents and reliable alternative to diazepam in management of ethanol withdrawal syndrome.

Gastrodia elata is a medicinal plant which has been used as anticonvulsant in Korea, Japan and China. This study was conducted to examine the action mechanism of Gastrodia elata centering around the change of GABA and glutamic acid level in brain while observing the anticonvulsive effect in PTZ-induced seizure model. Seizures were reduced effectively by pretreatment of ether soluble part of methanol extract of Gastrodia elata. The pretreatment of ether soluble part inhibited not only the decrease of brain GABA level but also the increase of brain glutamic acid level observed in PTZ model of convulsive dose. Although there was not any change in glutamic acid level, the same development was also observed in the model of subconvulsive dose. From above results, it seems that the anticonvulsive component of Gastrodia elata is lipophilic, and its action mechanism is originated from both control action of GABA level and inhibition of glutaminergic neurotransmission.

A 52-year-old woman with hypertension and moyamoya disease presented with chronic subdural hematoma [CSDH]. The presumed cause of bleeding was ascribed to administrated antiplatelet agents. She responded slowy and clumsily to verbal commands and had right arm weakness. After surgery, her clinical condition improved. But two days after surgery, her symptoms became aggravated and a convulsive seizure was noted within 24 hours. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed no organic lesion except a small amount of residual CSDH. In addition, there was no laboratory evidence of metabolic brain disease. Moreover, after the administration of an antiepileptic drug [phenytoin], her manifestations disappeared. Therefore, the authors presume that her symptoms were resulted from nonconvulsive status epilepticus [NCSE], despite a lack of ictal period electroencephalographic findings. The authors were unable to find a single case report on postoperative NCSE in Korea. Therefore, the authors report this case of nonconvulsive status epilepticus after drainage of a CSDH in a patient with moyamoya disease.

Experimental studies were performed to observe the difference in tolerance of small animals to oxygen poisoning, and also to examine the effects of certain drug for it. The three experimental groups consisted of mature rat group, immature rat group and mouse group. The animals were exposed to 5 atm. of 100% oxygen using hyperbaric chamber, and they were observed for oxygen poisoning by pulmonary and central nervous system manifestation. The tolerance to oxygen poisoning was represented by half fatality time in each experimental group. The drug applied was ammonium chloride $NH_4Cl$ and it was administered intraperitoneally in various dosages for particular attribution of its prophylactic effect. The following conclusions were made; 1. The immature rat group showed the higher degree of tolerance to oxygen poisoning, as evidenced by a more prolonged half fatality time in the group. No significant difference in the half fatality time between the mature rat and the mouse group was observed. 2. The fact that the immature group showed the higher degree of tolerance as compared with the mature rat group represented by delayed onset of convulsion. 3. There was a remarkable difference in the Lung Weight/Body Weight ratio between the experimental and control group. 4. The animals with a shorter half fatality time uniformally displayed an earlier onset of convulsive seizure as the sign of oxygen poisoning and a significant elevated Lung Weight/Body Weight ratio. 5. Ammonium chloride at the dosage of 450mg per kg body weight had the most pronounced prophylactic effect on oxygen poisoning.

목 적: 대부분의 소아과 의사들이 장중첩증의 진단이 지연되었을 경우의 문제점과 심각성을 알고 있음에도 불구하고 진단이 늦어져 수술, 심지어는 사망에 이르는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 따라서 저자들은 다른 진단명으로 입원하였다가 나중에 장중첩증으로 진단된 사례들을 조사하여 진단이 늦어지게 된 이유와 경과를 알아봄으로써 다시 한 번 의학적, 사회적 측면에서의 조기 진단의 중요성을 일깨우고자 하였다. 방 법: 저자들은 1990년 1월부터 2003년 12월까지 만 14년 간 경상대학교병원 응급실과 소아과에 장중첩증으로 내원하였던 환아들의 의무기록을 토대로 초기 진단이 장중첩증이 아니었던 경우의 14례의 증상과 첫 진단명, 진단되기까지의 경과 및 치료 결과를 조사하였다. 결 과: 1) 최종 진단이 장중첩증인 환아 중 입원 시 장중첩증을 의심하지 못했던 경우는 14례였으며 남자 8례(57.1%), 여자 6례(42.9%)였다. 2) 연령 분포는 대부분 2세 이하로 1세 이하가 10례(71.4%)였고 한 예가 10세에서 발생하였는데 그 환아는 Peutz-Jegher 증후군으로 대장 용종이 선두로 작용하였었다. 3) 내원 당시 주 증상은 구토, 경련, 설사, 기면, 보챔, 혈변, 종괴, 복부 팽만과 그 외 불쾌한 소변 냄새, 빈맥이 있었다. 입원 당시 진단명은 급성 위장관염, 세균성 이질과 독성 뇌증의증, 경련성 질환, 요로 감염, 패혈증, 복부 종괴, 장폐쇄 의심의 순으로 나타났다. 이들 중 입원 후 혈변이나 보챔 등의 증상이 있어 장중첩증을 의심하여 진단된 경우는 8례(57.1%)였으며 나머지 6례(42.9%)는 복부 팽만이나 종괴 등의 다른 이유로 복부 초음파나 전산화 촬영을 하던 중 발견되었다. 4) 입원 후 진단까지의 시간은 9례(64.3%)가 24시간이내에 진단이 되었고, 4례(28.6%)는 2~3일 사이에, 1례(7.1%)가 6일째에 진단이 되었으나 6일 째에 진단되었던 요로 감염 예는 5일 째 보채기 시작하여 6일째 신 초음파 중 발견이 되었다. 5) 장중첩증의 유형은 회장-결장형이 10례(71.4%)로 가장 많았고 그 외 회장-회장-결장형, 결장-결장형의 순으로 나타났다. 6) 전체 14례 중 9례가 수술을 하였는데 24시간 이내에 진단된 9례는 6례(66.7%), 2~3일 사이 진단되었던 4례는 3례(75%)에서 수술을 하였었다. 입원 5일 째 보채기 시작하여 6일 째 진단되었던 요로 감염의 경우는 바륨 정복술로 정복되었다. 결 론: 호발 연령에서 발생하지 않았거나 2차성 원인에 의해 발생한 경우, 첫 진단에 연연하여 증상이 설명되지 않거나 새로운 증상이 나타났는데도 장중첩증을 의심하지 못한 경우 진단이 늦어지고 결과적으로 수술을 시행하게 될 확률이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 장중첩증 진단 지연과 그에 따르는 치료 후유증, 합병증 및 2차적으로 발생 할 수 있는 법적 문제를 피하기 위해서는 편견에서 벗어나 항상 가능성이 있을 수 있음을 염두에 두고 환자를 대하는 것이 가장 중요하다 하겠다.
