Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate anti-thrombotic effects of Hyulbuchukeotanggamibang(HBCT). Methods: It was measured the effects which was given to blood flow rate through the regular volume of glass tube after the blood was diluted five times with ACD soulution. Antithrombotic effect was calculated as a percentage of the experimental animal figure protected from the paralysis of hind legs or death of the mouse that is caused from the administration of platelet aggregation regent. Results: 1. HBCT showed a safety in toxicity of liver. 2. In experiment of anti-thrombotic effect, HBCT inhibited the platelet aggregation induced by ADP and epinephrine, collagen, arachidonic acid as compared with the control group. 3. HBCT inhibited pulmonary embolism induced by collagen and epinephrine (inhibitory rate is 50%). 4. HBCT increased platelet number and fibrinogen amount significantly and also HBCT shortened PT and APTT significantly as compared with the control group in thrombus model induced by dextran. 5. HBCT increased blood flow rate insignificantly as compared with the control group in vivo. Conclusion: These results suggest that HBCT can be used for treating diverse female diseases caused by thrombosis.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate anti-inflammatory effects of Hyulbuchukeotanggamibang water extract (HBCT). Methods: In the study of anti-inflammatory effects, HBCT was investigated using cultured cells and a murine models. As for the parameters of inflammation, levels of several inflammatory cytokines and chemical mediators which are known to be related to inflammation were determined in mouse lung fibroblast cells (mLFCs) and RAW264.7 cells. Results: Prior to the experiment, we investigated the cytotoxicity of HBCT. HBCT showed a safety in cytotoxicity on mLFCs. In experiment of anti-inflammatory effect, HBCT effected scavenging activity on DPPH free radical, superoxide dismutase and superoxide anion radical. HBCT inhibited $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$, COX-2 and NOS-II mRNA expression in a concentration-dependent manner in RAW264.7 cell line, and inhibited significantly $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$ production at $100{\mu}g/\;ml$ in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion: These results suggest that HBCT can be used for treating diverse female diseases caused by inflammation such as endometriosis, pelvic pain, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and pelvic tuberculosis and so forth.
