  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is frequently observed in intact middle-aged or older male dogs with symptoms ranging from asymptomatic to various symptoms such as urination, dyschezia, dysuria, tenesmus, and intermittent serosanguinous or clear serous exudate. A 4-year-old, intact male Welsh corgi with symptoms of intermittent hematuria and serosanguinous exudate at the urethral opening was diagnosed with BPH and intraprostatic hematocyst through ultrasonographic examination and cytology test. The dog was internationally adopted for reproductive purposes and needed to undergo BPH treatment while maintaining fertility. Thus, 2.5 mg finasteride was administered orally once a day for treatment option and therapeutic effects were observed, including loss of clinical symptoms and reduced prostate and intraparenchymal cyst size.

  • Plants protect themselves from diverse potential pathogens by induction of the immune systems such as systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Most bacterial plant pathogens thrive in the intercellular space (apoplast) of plant tissues and cause symptoms. The apoplastic leaf exudate (LE) is believed to contain nutrients to provide food resource for phytopathogenic bacteria to survive and to bring harmful phytocompounds to protect plants against bacterial pathogens. In this study, we employed the pepper-Xanthomonas axonopodis system to assess whether apoplastic fluid from LE in pepper affects the fitness of X. axonopodis during the induction of SAR. The LE was extracted from pepper leaves 7 days after soil drench-application of a chemical trigger, benzothiadiazole (BTH). Elicitation of plant immunity was confirmed by significant up-regulation of four genes, CaPR1, CaPR4, CaPR9, and CaCHI2, by BTH treatment. Bacterial fitness was evaluated by measuring growth rate during cultivation with LE from BTH- or water-treated leaves. LE from BTH-treatment significantly inhibited bacterial growth when compared to that from the water-treated control. The antibacterial activity of LE from BTH-treated samples was not affected by heating at $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Although the antibacterial molecules were not precisely identified, the data suggest that small (less than 5 kDa), heat-stable compound(s) that are present in BTH-induced LE directly attenuate bacterial growth during the elicitation of plant immunity.

  • Author made a clinical study of 248 cases of pleural effusion patients who were diagnosed and treated at departments of chest surgery and internal medicine, Pusan National University Hospital, during the period from Jan. 1983 to Dec. 1985. The age distribution ranged from 1 to 76 years old and the ratio of male to female was 1.38:1. The cardinal symptoms were chest pain[69.4%], dyspnea[66.1%], cough[57.7%], fever[37.1%], sputum[26.2%], general malais[13.7%] and cyanosis[1.6%] in this order. The causes of pleural effusion were pulmonary tuberculosis[42.4%], pneumonia[23.0%], malignancy[16.5%], congestive heart failure[9.3%], liver cirrhosis[2.8%] and nephrosis[2.0%] in this order. The protein in the pleural effusions was 1.61*0.90[mean*SD] gm% in transudate and 5.05*1.10[Mean*SD] gm% in exudate. In 34 cases[89.5%]out of 38 transudates, the protein was under 3 gm% and in 201 cases [95.7%] out of 210 exudates, the protein was over 3 gm%. The protein ratio of pleural effusion to serum was 0.2650.11[Mean LSD] in transudates and 0.73*0.12[Mean LSD] in exudate. The ratio under 0.5 was in 36 cases[94.8%] out of 38 transudates and over 0.5 was in 206 cases[98.1%] out of 210 exudates. The LDH in the pleural effusion was 114.7550.3[mean*SD] units / ml in transudate and 627.05325.9[mean*SD] units / ml in exudate. The LDH less than 200 units / ml was in 36 cases[94.6%] out of 38 transudates and more than 200 units / ml was in 199 cases[94.7%] out of 210 exudates. The LDH ratio of pleural effusion to serum was 0.34k 0.11[mean*SD] in transudate and 1.15*1.12[mean*SD] in exudate. The LDH ratio of pleural effusion to serum was less than 0.6 in 36 cases[94.8%]out of 38 transudates and more than 0.6 in 200 cases[95.2%] out of 210 exudates. Etiologic organisms were confirmed in 78 cases[48.1%] among the requested 162 cases. In the 78 cases of etiologic organisms, staphylococcus was 33 cases[20.3%], streptococcus 24 cases[14.8%], Klebsiella pneumonia 7 cases[4.3%], pseudomonas 6 cases[3.7%], E. coli[3.1%], enterobacter 3 cases[1.9%]. 43 patient of pleural effusion from malignancy were undergone three or more thoracenteses. In 13 cases[31.7%], three specimen were negative and in 7 cases[17.1%], three specimens were positive for malignancy. In the remaining of 21 cases[51.2%], malignant cells were found in one or more of the specimens but not in all. Methods of treatment of pleural effusion by closed thoracotomy was 188 cases[75.8%], thoracentesis 27 cases[10.9%], decortication 16 cases[6.5%], thoracoplasty 6 cases[2.4%] and decortication with thoracoplasty 3 cases[1.2%].

  • Objectives : This study was to investigate the antiarthritic effect of Hwallak-dan(Huoluo-dan) on the complete freund's adjuvant(CFA)-induced arthritis in Lewis rats. Methods : Arthritis was induced by intradermal injection of CFA into base of tail. Experimental groups divided into normal(n=10), control(n=10) and treated(n=10) group. Animals of control group received normal saline for twenty days, treated group received extracts Hwallak-dan(Huoluo-dan) for same duration, light mineral oil only injected non-arthritic rats were served as normal group. The incidence of arthritis and arthritic index were observed after treatment. Body weight, paw edema volume and thickness of ankle joint were measured at 0, 11, 14, 17, 20 days after treatment. White blood cell(WBC) counts in blood were analysed at 20 days after treatment and tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}(TNF-{\alpha})$, $interleukin-1{\beta}(IL-1{\beta}$), IL-6 contents in paw exudate were analysed by ELISA at 20 days after treatment. Histopathology on the ankle joint were performed at 20 days after treatment. Results : 1. Incidence of arthritis of treated group was 60% and control group was 100% at 20 days after treatment. 2. Arthritic index of treated group was significantly decreased compared with control group at 20 days after treatment. 3. Paw edema volume and thickness of ankle joint of treated group was significantly decreased compared with control group at 20 days after treatment. 4. Total WBC of treated group was significantly decreased compared with control group at 20 days after treatment. 5. Neutrophils of treated group was significantly decreased compared with control group at 20 days after treatment. 6. $TNF-{\alpha}$ content in paw exudate of treated group was significantly decreased compared with control group at 20 days after treatment. 7. $IL-1{\beta}$ content content in paw exudate of treated group was significantly decreased compared with control group at 20 days after treatment. 8. IL-6 content content in paw exudate of treated group was significantly decreased compared with control group at 20 days after treatment. 9. Histopathological arthritic index of treated group was significantly decreased compared with control group at 20 days after treatment. Conclusions : These results indicate that Hwallak-dan(Huoluo-dan) has inhibitory effect on the development and progression of CFA-induced arthritis in rats.

  • Five phenolic compounds 1-5 were isolated for the first time from the exudate of geminating peanut (Arachis hypogaea). The structures were fully characterized by analysis of physical and spectral data. All isolated compounds were tested for antioxidant activities using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and hydroxyl radical. Compounds 2, 3, and 5 exhibited a strong scavenging effect on DPPH (2: $IC_{50}\;=\;10.4\;{\um}M$, 3: $IC_{50}\;=\;45.2\;{\mu}M$, 5: $IC_{50}\;=\;5.0\;{\mu}M$), and ABTS (2: $IC_{50}\;=\;9.6\;{\mu}M$, 3: $IC_{50}\;=\;5.5\;{\mu}M$, 5: $IC_{50}\;=\;3.3\;{\mu}M$) radical activity, whereas these compounds had weak hydroxyl radical scavenging activity ($IC_{50}\;>\;200\;{\mu}M$). The total phenolic contents of the extracts using n-hexane, EtOAc, and n-BuOH were found to be 96.4-964.3 mg gallic acid equivalent per g dry material (GAE/g) and n-BuOH fraction showed the highest total phenolic content (964.3 mg GAE/g). These studies suggest that the exudate of geminating peanut may possess possible health related benefits to humans.

  • The experiment attempted to detect the loss of mineral substances in the crude herb, especially for the Platycodon graucum Nakai after removal of its acrid flavor. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The quantity of the mineral substance was K Ca P Mg and Na in orders. The above substances were more prevalent in the part of the plant above the ground than the plant below the ground, however Na remained the same in both parts of the plant. 2. As a result of water immersion, in order to clear away the acrid flavor, the one day exudate showed that K was highest in amount and in the others there was no significant difference. There was a slight increase, however, in the amount of Ca K Mg P and Na because of exudation on the 3rd and 5 th days. 3. The amount of the exudate was increased by boiling rather than simple water immersion, but the amount of Ca was decreased.

  • Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi is one of major herbs used to treat patients with skin diseases diagnosed by wind-heat syndrome. This study was designed to investigate the effects of Scutellaria baicalensis Extract (SBE) on skin lesion of Contact dermatitis (CD) in mice. We investigated the effects of SBE on skin thickness, skin lesions, erythema index and melanin index in vivo. The effects on body weights and spleen/body weight ratio were also investigated in mice with CD induced by topical application of 1-Fluoro-2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB). In our results, topical application of SBE lowered skin thickness significantly. In addition, SBE ameliorated skin lesions such as erythema, exudate and petechia in mice with CD. SBE also inhibited erythema index elevated by DNFB significantly. finally, SBE did not affect body weight and spleen/body weight ratio. In conclusion, these data imply that SBE can ameliorate skin lesion of CD such as erythema, exudate and petechia, and be used to treat CD patients with relative safety.
