Objectives : The purpose of this study is to examine whether Eucommiae Cortex pharmacopuncture may affect to the neuropathic pain in a rat model. Methods : To produce the model of neuropathic pain, under isoflurane 2.5 % anesthesia, underwent tight ligation by 6.0 silk thread and transection of the tibial and sural nerves, leaving the common peroneal nerve intact. After neuropathic surgery, the author examined if the exhibited the behavioral sign of allodynia. The allodynia was assessed by stimulating the plantar with Dynamic Plantar Aesthesiometer. Three days after the neuropathic surgery, Eucommiae Cortex pharmacopuncture was injected at Sinsu($BL_{23}$) once every week for 6 weeks. After that, the author examined the withdrawal response of neuropathic rats' leg by Dynamic Plantar Aesthesiometer. And also the author examined Bax, Bcl-2, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in the spinal cord of neuropathic rats and the change of WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT count in the blood of neuropathic rats. Results : 1. The Eucommiae Cortex pharmacopuncture decreased the withdrawal response of mechanical allodynia that assessed with Dynamic Plantar Aesthesiometer in EC2-$BL_{23}$ group as compared with control group. 2. The Eucommiae Cortex pharmacopuncture decreased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in EC1-$BL_{23}$, EC2-$BL_{23}$ group. But The Eucommiae Cortex pharmacopuncture injected at Sinsu($BL_{23}$) didn't change Bax, Bcl-2 expression level in the all group. 3. The Eucommiae Cortex pharmacopuncture decreased WBC count in EC1-$BL_{23}$, EC2-$BL_{23}$ group. Conclusions : We have noticed that Eucommiae Cortex pharmacopuncture decreased mechanical allodynia in the model of neuropathic pain compared with the control group. Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in spinal cord of that group was also decreased compared with the control group. This study can be used as a basic resource on a study and a treatment of neuropathic pain.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute and subacute toxicity and sarcoma- 180 anti-cancer effects of Herbal acupuncture with Triglii Semen in mice and rats. Method: Balble mice were injected intraperitoneally with Triglii semen Herbal acupuncture for $LD_{50}$ and acute toxicity test. Sprague Dawley rats were injected intraperitoneally with Triglii semen Herbal acupuncture for subacute toxicity test. The Triglii semen Herbal acupuncture was injected on Chung-wan(CV12) of mice with S-180 cancer cell line. Results: 1. In acute toxicity test, the $LD_{50}$ value was $7.49{\times}10^3$ml, 0.30ml/kg.2. The body weights of mice treated with Triglii semen Herbal acupuncture increased during the acute toxicity test. 3. In acute toxicity test of serum biochenrical values of mice, total protein was decreased in treatment groups I, 2 and 3, albunrin was decreased in treatment groups 2 and 3 compared to the control group. GOT was increased in treatment group I and Alk. Phosphatase was increased in treatment groups 1,2 and 3 compared to the normal group(p<0.05). 4.ln subacute toxicity test, severe tissue injury was found in lung and liver. 5. In subacute toxicity test, the body weight was decreased in treatment groups I and 2 compared to the normal group and the weight of liver. lung and kidney were increased in treatment groups 1, 2 and 3 compared to the normal group.(p<0.05) 6. In subacute toxicity test, RBC, HGB and HCT were decreased in treatment groups 1 and 2 compared to the normal group. MCV was increased in treatment group1 compared to the normal group, MCH was increased in treatment groups 1 and 2 compared to the control group in complete blood count test.(p<0.05) 7. In subacute toxicity test, total protein was decreased in treatment groups 1 and 2 compared to the nonnal group, BUN was increased in treatment groups 1 and 2 compared to the nonnal group, creatinine and uric acid were decreased in treatment groups 1 and 2 compared to the normal group, glucose was increased in treatment group 2 compared to the nonnal group, triglycelide was decreased in treatment groups I and 2 compared to the normal group, total cholesterol was increased in treatment groups 1 and 2 compared to the control group. GOT was decreased in treatment group 2 compared to the normal and control group, AIk. Phosphatase was increased in treatment group 1 compared to the normal and control group.(p<0.05) 8. Median survival time was 17days in treatment group 2 for S- 180 cancer cell treated with Triglii semen Herbal acupuncture. 9. Natural killer cell activity was insignificant for S-180 cell treated with Triglii semen Herbal acupuncture.(p<0.05) 10. lnterieukin-2 productivity was decreased for S-180 cell treated with Triglii semen Herbal acupuncture compared to the normal and control group.(p<0.05) Conclusion: According to the results, we can conclude Herbal-acupuncture with Triglii semen caused toxicity, and caused no effects in S-180 cancer cell.

배경: 염증성 폐질환에 의한 객혈에 대해서는 여러가지 치료전략이 제시되고 있다. 하지만 출혈이 진행 중인 환자에서 수술적 처치 여부 및 시기에 대해서는 논란의 여지가 많다. 본 연구에서 염증성 폐질환에 의한 객혈로 인해 폐절제술을 시행받은 환자들에 대한 임상 결과를 분석해보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2001년 1월부터 2007년 12월까지 양성 폐질환에 의해 객혈이 발생하여 폐절제술을 시행받은 75명의 환자들을 대상으로 하였고, 수술 후 이환율과 사망률에 미치는 요인들을 의무기록을 토대로 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 원인 질환으로는 폐국균증 30예, 결핵 20예, 기관지확장증 18예, 기타 7예가 있었고, 수술은 단일 폐엽절제술 55예, 이엽절제술 2예, 전폐 절제술 17예, 쐐기절제술 1예가 시행되었다. 28명은 응급 수술로 진행하였고, 47명은 정규 수술로 진행하였다. 수술 후 조기 사망은 3명(4.0%)였으며 원인으로는 폐렴 1예, 기관지늑막루 2예였다. 술 전 혈색소 수치가 10 g/dL 미만으로 수혈을 받은 경우(p=0.01)와 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환이 있는 경우(p=0.003), 그리고 응급으로 수술을 시행한 경우(p=0.003)에 조기 사망률이 높았다. 술 후 합병증은 30명(40%)에서 발생하였고, 남자가 통계적으로 유의하게 많았다(p=0.008). 그리고, 통계적으로 유의하지는 않지만 응급 수술을 시행한 경우(15/28, 53.5%)에서 정규 수술을 시행한 경우(15/47, 31.9%)보다 높았다. 합병증으로는 지속적인 공기 누출 9예, 술 후 출혈로 인한 재수술을 시행한 경우가 7예, 농흉 5예, 폐렴 4예, 기관지늑막루 3예, 재발된 객혈 1예, 우중엽 무기폐 1예가 있었다. 결론: 염증성 폐질환에 의한 객혈의 치료로써 폐절제술은 비교적 낮은 사망률을 보이고 있다. 하지만 여전히 응급 수술인 경우에는 사망률과 합병증 이환율이 높은 편이다. 염증성 폐질환에 의한 객혈에 대해 수술적 치료는 효과적이며, 응급 수술의 경우 술 후에도 각별한 주의를 요한다.
