  • The purgative activities of Whangryunhaedoktang (WT), Chunghyuldan (CD) and Rhei Rhizoma were measured to choose herbal formulae available for stroke patients suffering from constipation. When the laxative activity of Rhei Rhizoma and CD (the same dose as Rhei Rhizoma) compared, Rhei Rhizoma was more potent than CD. WT contained Gardeniae Fructus, which has been used as a laxative, as a ingredient. Nevertheless, WT did not show the purgative activity. WT and CD did not stimulate the transportation of small intestine. However, CD weakly stimulated the transportation of large intestine than Rhei Rhizoma. Accordingly, we believe that CD can be used as a useful purgative for stroke patients with constipation.

  • 경희대학교 우주과학과 학술동아리 [New K.O.A.L.A]는 학부 학생들의 학술적 관심을 바탕으로 1996년에 결성되었다. 지난 20년 동안, 학생들은 측광 및 분광학적 관측을 중심으로 다양한 프로젝트들을 진행해왔으며, 본 프로젝트는 그 중 하나다. 우리는 2014년 10월에 교내 76cm 반사망원경을 이용하여 W UMa형 접촉쌍성 AB And를 측광 관측했고, 이번에 그 분석 결과들을 발표한다. 마지막으로, 학부 학생들의 입장에서 바라본 '연구'에 대한 고찰 및 애로사항들도 간단히 소개한다.

  • Objectives : Postural instability and gait difficulty(PIGD) can develop in all Parkinson's disease patients, especially late in the disease course, but does not respond well to conventional dopamine treatment. This study aimed to report three cases of PIGD in Parkinson's disease patients treated with Korean and Western medicine treatment. Methods : We used acupuncture, bee venom acupuncture, herbal medicine and moxibustion to treat patients during hospitalization. They continued Western medication and received rehabilitation treatment. We observed the changes of PIGD using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS). Results : After treatment, PIGD symptoms improved and UPDRS scores were decreased. Especially, scores of falling, walking, gait and postural stability subsections related with PIGD were decreased. In addition, general conditions of patients were improved. Conclusions : This study suggests that Korean medicine treatment could be effective in the treatment of PIGD in Parkinson's disease patients.

  • Backgrounds and objectives: Cardiotonic Pills® (CP) are used for vascular diseases such as coronary diseases, atherosclerosis, and cerebral infarction. This study aimed to determine the transient effects of CP on cerebrovascular CO2 reactivity (CVR) and erythrocyte deformability in normal subjects. Methods: This study had a crossover design and included 10 participants who were randomly allocated to 2 groups. The experimental group was given CP with water, while the control group was given only water. CVR was measured by hyperventilation-induced CVR of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) using transcranial Doppler (TCD). Erythrocyte deformability was measured using a Rheoscan-D microfluidic ektacytometer. All measurements were performed prior to and 1, 2, and 3 hours after CP or water administration. Blood pressure and heart rate were also measured before and after administration. Results: CP significantly improved CVR 3 hours after administration in the experimental group compared to the control group (p = 0.042). The corrected blood flow velocity at partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) = 40mmHg (CV40) was also significantly improved 2 and 3 hours after administration in the CP group compared to the control group (p = 0.036 and p = 0.021, respectively). CP significantly improved erythrocyte deformability 3 hours after administration in the experimental group compared to the control group (p = 0.027). Mean heart rate and mean blood pressure showed no change. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that CP increases CVR and erythrocyte deformability. These results suggested that CP improves cerebral microcirculation which provide evidence for the future use of CP for prevention of ischemic stroke and neurodegenerative diseases.
