Amun(GV15), Habkook(LI4) and Shinsu(B23) have been used as a meridian point for apoplexy, hypertention, vertigo etc. The effects of GV 15, LI4 and B23 on the vascular system is not known. The purpose of this Study was to investigate the effect of several meridian points on the regional cerebral bloof flow(rCBF), mean arterial blood pressure(BP) in rats. The changes of BP and rCBF were tested Laser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF). Results : The results of this Study were obtained as follows ; 1. GV15 and LI4 were increased significantly rCBF. 2. GV15, LI4 and B23 were increased BP, but have not significance. Conclusion : This results suggest that GV15 was increased rCBF by increasing pial arterial diameter, and LI4 was increased rCBF by increasing BP.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of inner skin of chestnut on the activation of a living body's function (regional cerebral blood flow and mean arterial blood pressure in Sprague-Dawley rats, proliferation of thymocytes in normal mice and L1210 cells transplanted mice) . We used inner skin of chestnut extract(Sample A : inner skin of chestnut-panbroiled after driedextract (100$\^{C}$ ), Sample B , inner skin of chestnut-panbroiled-extract(100$\^{C}$ ) , Sample C : inner skin of chestnut -panbroiled after dried-extract(80$\^{C}$ ), Sample D : inner skin of chestnut-panbroiled-extract(80$\^{C}$)} Regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) and Mean arterial blood pressure(MABP) were tested using Leser -Doppler Flowmetry(LDF), and the proliferation of thymcytes was tested using a colorimetric tetrazoliun assay ( MTT assay) The experimental results as follows 1. rCBF was significantly increased by Sample C in a dose-dependent manner. 2. MABP was not changed by Sample C in a 0.1mg/kg∼10.0mg/kg treated group. 3. Proliferation of thymocytes was not changed by Sample C in normal mice. 4. Proliferation of thymocytes was significantly accelerated by Sample C in L1210 cells transplanted mice.

SosokMyeongTang(SMT) have been used in oriental medicine for many centuries as a therapeutic agent for cerebral disease. The effects of SMT on the vascular system is not known. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of SMT on the changes in blood pressure(BP) and regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) of rats. SMT consists of the following components : Radix Ledebouriellae(防風), Radix Cocculi or Stephaniae(防己), Semen Armeniacae(杏仁), Cortex Cinnamomi(肉桂), Radix Scutellariae(黃芩), Radix Paeoniae Lactiflorae(白芍藥), Radix Ginseng(人蔘), Rhizoma Cnidll(川芎), Herba Ephedrae(麻黃), Radix Glycyrrhizae(甘草), Radix Aconiti(附子?), Fructus Zizyphi Jujubae(大棗), Rhizoma Zingiberis(生薑) and the changes of BP and rCBF were tested Leser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF) The experimental results were as follows ; BP was not affected by SMT in rats, but rCBF was increased significantly by SMT in a dose dependent manner. SMT increased previous decreasd rCBF due to pretreatment methylene blue, but did not increased previous decreasd rCBF due to pretreatment L-NNA, indomethacin. Pretreatment with indomethacin decreased BP compaired with control group. These results suggest that SMT causes a diverse response of blood pressure and regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF). The increased rCBF is mediated by nitric oxide synthease.

결명자차, 녹차 및 밤차가 인체의 생체기능활성화에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 국소뇌혈류량 및 혈압, in vitro상에서의 면역세포의 활성화, 그리고 암세포가 이식된 동물에서의 면역세포 활성화와 암세포의 증식억제 효과를 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 단당류는 현미녹차와 결명자차에는 glucose, ga-lactose등이 들어 있으나 밤차에는 glucose, gal-actose, mannose가 들어 있다. 2. 아미노산은 현미녹차, 밤차, 결명자차 순으로 들어 있다. 3. 카페인은 현미녹차에는 들어 있으나 밤차와 결명자차에는 들어 있지 않았다. 4. 결명자 차는 국소뇌혈류량을 증가시킨 반면 밤차는 감소시켰다. 5. 녹차는 혈압을 증가시켰다. 6. 밤차는 in vitro 상에서 흉선세포와 비장세포의 증식을 유의성있게 증가시켰다. 7. 결명자차와 녹차는 in bitro 상에서 흉선세포의 증식을 감소시켰다. 8. 결명자차와 녹차는 L1210세포가 이식된 동물의 흉선세포 증식을 감소시켰다. 9. 밤차는 L1210세포가 이식된 동물의 비장세포 증식을 촉진시켰다. 10. 밤차와 결명자차는 L1210세포가 이식된 동물의 암세포 증식을 억제하였다.
