Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate the effect of HTE001, a multi-herbal mixture consisting of 10 herbs, Cornus Frutus, Schizandrae Fructus, Rubi Fructus, Cnidi Fructus, Acanthopanacis senticosi Radix, Cinnamomi Cortex, Eucommiae Cortex, Allii Bulbus, Rehmanniae Radix and Ginseng Radix, on electrostimulation-induced penile erection in rats. Methods : Intracavernous pressure (ICP) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were simultaneously monitored through electric stimulation of the cavernous nerve after the oral administration of HTE001 (30, 100, 300 mg/kg) in normal rats. Statistical analysis was performed on maximal intracavernous pressure (ICP), maximal intracavernous pressure/mean arterial blood pressure (ICP/MAP) ratio, and the area under the curve (AUC) of ICP/MAP ratio. Results : Oral administration of HTE001 300 mg/kg caused the ICP to increase in a frequency-dependent manner. And HTE001 300 mg/kg treatment group showed the highest value in the ICP/MAP ratio and the AUC value of the ICP/MAP ratio compared to the control group at 2 Hz, 6 Hz and 10 Hz, respectively without an effect on the mean arterial blood pressure under the same stimulation of the cavernous nerve. Conclusions : These results show that HTE001 improve penile erection and prolong the decay period in normal rats without affecting mean arterial blood pressure, and suggest that HTE001 could be a good therapeutic candidate to treat erectile dysfunction.

We have performed left lung transplantation followed by ligation of right pulmonary artery in 14 dogs at the Chest Disease Research Institute, Yonsei University College of Medicine from May 1992 to February 1994. Excised left lung was perfused with 1500cc of 4$^{\circ}$C cold Euro-Collin`s[E-C] solution at a pressure of 30cmH2O through main pulmonary artery and preserved in 4$^{\circ}$C cold E-C solution for one hour. Left lung transplantation were proceeded in order of left atrium, left main bronchus, left pulmonary artery and right pulmonary artery ligation as usual method. The femoral artery and pulmonary artery pressures were monitored for more than 5 hours after the transplantations in 14 dogs. Six recipient dogs had elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure to greater than 30mmHg after the left lung transplantation and ligation of right pulmonary artery. The cause of elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure was due to inadequate preservation resulting in ischemic damage to donor lungs in 3 cases, and inadequate surgical techniques in 3 cases. Two recipient dogs without surgical complications died immediate post-operatively due to hemorrhagic shock. The bleeding focuses were LA anastomotic site in one case and femoral artery puncture site in another case. The remaining 6 recipient dogs showed mean pulmonary arterial pressure less than 30mmHg. However, one dog had spontaneous pneumothorax in post-operative 4 days, and another dog had rejection phenomenon in post-operative 5 days which was confirmed by pathologic findings of extracted transplanted lung. One dog succumbed of severe hemoptysis which was due to lung abscess with pin point stenosis of bronchial anastomosis in post-operative 38 days. In conclusion, elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 30mmHg in immediate postoperative period can be due to inadequate preservation of extracted lung or poor surgical techniques. And the two dogs succumbed of hemorrhagic shock even though the mean pulmonary arterial pressure was less than 30mmHg. It is thought that careful preservation of the extracted donor lung in 4oC E-C solution and complete surgical techniques are the most important factors early and late complications.

In 30 rats divided into salt, ethanol and salt plus ethanol groups, the effect of ethanol on the course of hypertension induction with the salt ingestion was studied. The results obtained from the present study are as follows. 1) In salt group mean arterial blood pressure elevated to plateau (about 140 mmHg) in two weeks and the increased blood pressure was well maintained throughout entire experimental period. 2) By four weeks after ethanol ingestion, mean arterial blood pressure of ethanol group was slightly decreased followed thereafter by slow restoration to control value. And it was believed that decline of blood pressure observed in this case probably was not resulted from cardiac depression. 3) As mean arterial pressure in salt plus ethanol group remained rather low compared with that of salt group, it was suggested that ethanol may have a dose reduction effect in the course of hypertension induction by excessive salt ingestion. It was, however, not possible from the result of present study to decide that low blood Pressure in this group was resulted whether from enhanced sodium excretion activity of ethanol or from effect on blood pressure of ethanol itself.

급성 신성 고혈압쥐 (2-kidney, 1-ligation type)의 전신성 동맥계와 폐 동맥계에 대한 내피 의존적 혈관반응성을 규명하기 위하여, 적출 혈관 및 마취상태의 흰쥐에 대한 acetylcholine (ACh)의 혈관이완작용 및 혈압강하 작용을 측정하였다. 혈장 renin 활성(PRA)은 신동맥 결찰전 $7.31{\pm}0.63\;ng/ml/hr$ A I에 비해 결찰 $6{\sim}8$일후에는 $19{\sim}22\;ng/ml/hr$ A I으로 유의성있게 증가하였으며, 이는 수축기혈압의 상승과 $(154{\pm}1.83{\rightarrow}190{\sim}215\;mmHg)$ 일정한 상관성을 유지하였다. 신성 고혈압쥐 및 정상 혈압쥐의 흉곽 대동맥은 내피세포 존재시 ACh에 의해 용량의존적으로 이완되었으며, 이때 신성고혈압쥐에서의 반응은 정상 혈압쥐에 비해 유의성있게 감소하였다(각각 34% 및 86%, p<0.01). 또한 ACh은 신성 고혈압쥐 및 정상 혈압쥐의 폐동맥에 대해서도 내피세포 존재시에 이완반응을 초래하였다. 그러나, 흉곽 대동맥에서와는 달리 두 군간에 유의성있는 차이가 없었다. 이들 반응은 내피세포 제거후 또는 EDRF 억제제 (L-NAME, MB, $10^{-5}$ M) 투여후 유의성있게 억제되었다. $ACh(0.1{\sim}10\;{\mu}g/kg,\;i.v.)$은 신성 고혈압쥐 및 정상 혈압쥐에서 전신성 동맥압의 강하를 초래하였는데, 신성 고혈압쥐에서 다소 감소하였으나 유의성있는 차이는 없었으며 ($SAPm;\;10\;{\mu}g/kg$에서 각각 39%, 46 %), 이들 작용은 L-NAME(30 mg/kg, i.v.) 전처치후 유의성있게 억제되었다. ACh에 의한 폐동맥압 강하는 신성 고혈압쥐 및 정상 혈압쥐 사이에 서로 비슷하게 나타났다. 그러나, 신성 고혈압 쥐 및 정상 혈압쥐에서 ACh에 의한 폐동맥압의 강하율은 전신성 동맥압의 강하율보다 유의성있게(p<0.01) 작았으며, 또한 L-NAME $(0.1{\sim}100\;mg/kg,\;i.v.)$에 의한 폐동맥압의 상승은 전신성 동맥압의 상승보다 유의성있게(p<0.01) 작았다. 이상의 실험 결과들은 급성 신성 고혈압쥐의 전신성 동맥계에서는 내피세포 손상이 초래되지만, 폐동맥계에서는 초래되지 않는다는것을 제시해준다. 또 신성고혈압쥐 및 정상 혈압쥐에서 EDRF 의 basal release 및 ACh 유발성 EDRF function은 전신성 동맥계에 비해 폐동맥계에서 적다는 것을 제시해준다.

To see the change of pulmonary arterial pressure after mitral valve replacement, postoperative cardiac catheterization and echocardiographies were performed in 12 patients of mitral valvular disease with pulmonary hypertension[systolic pulmonary arterial pressure>50 mm Hg]. The mean follow-up duration was 35.4[range: 15-47] months per patient. The following results were obtained. 1] Preoperative systolic pulmonary arterial pressure value of 66.17\ulcorner10.73mmHg decreased significantly to 29.17\ulcorner6.86mmHg postoperatively[p<0.01]. 2] Preoperative Pp/Ps value of 0.67\ulcorner0.13 decreased significantly to 0.28\ulcorner0.06 postoperatively[p<0.01]. 3] Preoperative PAWP value of 29.00\ulcorner4.02mmHg decreased significantly to 9.92\ulcorner4.27 mmHg postoperatively[p<0.01]. 4] Preoperative LAD value of 5.58\ulcorner1.20cm decreased significantly to 4.37\ulcorner0.67cm postoperatively [p<0.01]. In conclusion, pulmonary arterial hypertension secondary to mitral valvular disease could be reduced to normal range after successful mitral valve replacement.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of Samul-tang Extract and Bambusae caulis in liquamen(SEB) on the changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in normal rats. The results were as follows ; SBE significantly increased rCBF in a dose-dependent manner, and increased MABP in a dose-dependent manner. This result suggests that SBE significantly increased rCBF by dilating pial arterial diameter. Increase of SBE-induced rCBF was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with indomethacin (1 mg/kg, i.p.), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase and increase of SBE-induced rCBF was inhibited by pretreatment with methylene blue ($10\;{\mu}g/kg$, i.p.), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase. Increase of SBE-induced MABP was significantly increased by pretreatment with methylene blue but increase of SBE-induced MABP was decreased by pretreatment with indomethacin. These results suggested that the action of SBE was mediated by cyclooxygenase.

The study was designed to investigate the effects of Leonuri herba extract (LHE) on the change of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in normal rats, and further to determine the mechanism of action of LHE. The results in normal rats were as follows, LHE significantly increased rCBF in a dose-dependent manner, and MABP did not change in a dose-dependent manner. This results were suggested that LHE significantly increased rCBF by dilating pial arterial diameter. The LHE-induced increase in rCBF was significantly inhibited by Pretreatment with indomethacin(1 mg/kg, i.p.), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, and was significantly inhibited by methylene blue($10{\mu}g/kg$, i.p.), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase. The LHE-induced MABP did not change by pretreatment with indomethacin but was significantly inhibited by methylene blue. This results were suggested that the mechanism of LHE was mediated by cyclooxygenase.

The study was designed to investigate the effects of MokhwyangJoki-san Extract (MJSE) on the change of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in normal rats, and further to determine the mechanism of MJSE. The results in normal rats were as follows ; MJSE significantly increased rCBF in a dose-dependent manner, and MABP did not change in a dose-dependent manner. This results were suggested that MJSE significantly increased rCBF by dilating pial arterial diameter. The MJSE-induced increase in rCBF was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with methylene blue (10 ${\mu}g/kg$, i.p.), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, and was not changed by indomethacin (1 ${\mu}g/kg$, i.p.), an inhibitro of cyclooxygenase. The MJSE-was not changed MABP was decreased by pretreatment with indomethacin but was not changed by methylene blue. This results were suggested that the mechanism of MJSE was mediated by guanylate cyclase.

Cardiovascular effects of propofol, were assessed after premedication with xylazine(1.0 mUkg, IM) under oxygen supply(200 ml/kg/min) via a endotracheal tube. Twelve adult mixed-breed dogs were divided into four groups; 0.2(Group 1), 0.4(Group 2), 0.6(Group 3) and 0.8 mg/kg/min(Group 4) of propofol respectively. Arterial blood pressure and electrocardiogram were monitored with a physiograph after an arterial catheter was inserted into the femoral artery. pH, arterial carbon dioxide tension($PaCO_2$and arterial oxygen tension($PaO_2$) were evaluated with arterial blood collected through the inserted catheter. Diastolic arterial pressure, systolic arterial pressure and mean arterial pressure were decreased slightly in Group I IIand III, but decreased significantly in Group IV. They were increased rapidly after stopping propofol infusion in Group IV pH was maintained in normal range in Group I, II and m, but was decreased in proportion to time passing in Group IV. $PaCO_2$ was increased significantly only in Group IV but $PaO_2$ was maintained in normal range in all groups Although heart rate was recorded in normal range for 90 minutes, arythmia was noted after stopping propofol infusion in all groups. It was concluded that propofol depressed the cardiovascular system in proportion to infusion dosage, and 0.8 mg/kg/min of propofol infusion rate was not appropriated in canine anesthesia with xylazine premedication.

본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 동맥압 파형 형태에 대한 오실로메트릭 방법을 분석하고 수축기압과 이완기압을 검출할 수 있는 새로운 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 동맥압 파형 형태에 대한 오실로메트릭 방법을 분석하고 수축기압과 이완기압을 검출할 수 있는 새로운 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 동맥압 파형 형태에 대한 오실로메트릭 방법을 분석하기 위해 동맥압 파형 형태를 쉽게 가변할 수 있는 동맥압 모델을 만들었으며, 기존의 정적인 동맥 압력-용적 지수함수 모델을 이용하여 오실로메트릭 모델의 구현 및 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 동맥압 파형 형태와 보편화된 혈압 검출 기준인 특성비율과의 상관관계 분석을 통하여 동맥압 파형 형태와 맥압의 영향 때문에 특성비율이 수축기압과 이완기압을 결정하는 유일한 기준이 될 수 없음을 밝혔으며, 동맥압 파형 형태와 오실레이션 파형 형태의 상관관계 분석을 통하여 오실레이션 파형으로부터 동맥압 파형 형태를 추정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 최대 크기 오실레이션 파형과 동맥압 파형의 관계로부터 맥압을 구할 수 있는 맥압 표를 구성하여 수축기압과 이완기압을 검출할 수 있는 혈압 검출 알고리즘을 제시하였으며 그 결과 수축압, 이완압, 평균압의 절대편차 평균값은 각각 1.62%, 2.40%, 2.20%를 얻었다. 결론적으로 제안된 알고리즘은 정확한 혈압검출을 위한 유용 가능성을 보였다.
