  • There are over 4,000 different chemicals in cigarette smoke, including nicotine and tar. These compounds influence on lung tissue directly or indirectly. In this study, we have examined whether an aqueous extract of Se-Yeon-Eum (SYE), composed of Oriental medicine that has been known to be effective to symptom by smoking, inhibits nicotine- or cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced cytotoxicity in human embryonic lung fibroblast, MRC-9. Assessment of cell viability using 3-(4,5-dimethythiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide colorimetric assay indicated that SYE inhibited not only nicotine-induced cytotoxicity but also CSE-induced cytotoxicity. These results suggest the possibility that the use of SYE may be useful for improvement of many symptoms by smoking.

  • Adrenal insufficiency is caused by adrenal failure or impairment of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The main symptoms of adrenal insufficiency are chronic fatigue, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and weight loss. We report a case of adrenal insufficiency in a 38-year-old female. The patient complained of headache, dizziness, anorexia, and general weakness. We treated her with Iggisaengjin-tang and acupuncture. After treatment, the patient's symptoms were improved and serum cortisol levels rose to a normal range without the aid of steroid supplementation therapy. This case suggests that Korean medicine can be effective in the treatment of adrenal insufficiency, but more clinical reports are needed.

  • This study was to evaluate the in vitro survival of vitrified-thawed bovine MII enucleated (MIIe) oocytes according to activation timing and minimun volume cooling (MVC) method and their in vitro development after somatic cell nuclear transfer (SONT). Bovine oocytes were recovered from slaughtered bovine ovary and matured in TCM-199 supplemented with 10% FBS. (omitted)
