Ten substituted phenacyl derivatives of 4-hydroxypiperidine were synthesized and studied for their effects on the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in normotensive anaesthetized rats and smooth muscles contractions of isolated rabbit jejunum. Two derivatives caused fall in blood pressure at the dose of 10-20 mg/kg and one rise in blood pressure at the dose of 20 mg/kg. Two compounds exhibited biphasic response (hypotensive followed by hypertensive) and one gave triphasic response at 10 mg/kg dose. Rest of four derivatives were found devoid of any effect on mean arterial blood pressure up to the dose of 30 mg/kg. All the derivatives except two caused relaxant effect on the spontaneous contraction of rabbit jejunum at the dose range of 0.1 -2 mg/kg.

The study was designed to investigate the effects of Mixture of Yukgunja-tang and Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen (YTBCL) on the change of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in rats, and further to determine the mechanism of action of YTBCL. The results in rats were as follows ; YTBCL 25 ${\mu}l$ significantly decreased rCBF and MABP compared with basal condition. YTBCL 100 ${\mu}l$ significantly increased rCBF compared with basal condition, but decreased MABP compared with basal condition. YTBCL 50 ${\mu}l$ significantly increased rCBF compared with basal condition, but MABP was somewhat decreased compared with basal condition. The VTBCL 50 ${\mu}l$-induced increase in rCBF was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with methylene blue (10 ${\mu}g$/kg, i.p.), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase and indomethacin (1 mg/kg, i.p.), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase. The YTBCL 50 ${\mu}l$-induced decreased MABP significantly increased by pretreatment with methylene blue but was inhibited by indomethacin. This results were suggested that the mechanism of YTBCL was mediated Dy guanylate cyclase.

Objectives: The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of Yupoongyangyeong-tang(YYT) on changes of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in rats. In addition, the author also investigated action mechanisms of YYT on changes in rCBF and MABP. Methods and Results : In this study, treatment with YYT elevated rCBF in a dose-dependent manner, but MABP levels were elevated only in the 10 mg/ml treatment group. Pre-treatment with indomethacin. an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, inhibited increase of rCBF effectively. Pre-treatment with methylene blue, an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, inhibited increase of rCBF induced by YYT, too. In addition. pre-treatment with indomethacin also inhibited increase of MABP. However, pre-treatment with methylene blue did not affect MABP levels. Conclusion : These results suggest that YYT is useful to treat patients with diseases related to cerebral ischemia, because YYT can increase rCBF. In addition, the mechanisms are thought to be related to both cyclooxygenase and guanylate cyclase.

This experimental studies were done to investigate the effects of Sambutang(SBT) and consitituent herbs on the regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure(BP) in rats. The results are as follows: SBT and consitituent herbs(SBT omitting Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens. Ginseng Radix and Aconiti iateralis preparata Radix) was increased rCBF significantly in a dose-dependent manner. SBT omitting Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens and Ginseng Radix were decreased significantly BP in rats. But, SBT, Aconiti iateralis preparata Radix and Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens were not affected BP in rats. According to the above findings. it is suggested that SBT causes a diverse response of rCBF, and specially the rCBF by increasing SBT is mediated action of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens.

CheonghunHwadam-tang(CHT) have been used in oriental medicine for many centuries as a therapeutic agent of vertigo by wind, fire and phlegm. CHTS was CHT adding Schizonepetae Herba. The effects of CHTS on the cerebral blood flow and blood pressure is not known. The purpose of this Study was to investigate effects of CHTS on the regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure(BP), action-mechanism of CHTS-induced changed-rCBF and BP. The changes of rCBF and BP was determinated by Laser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF). The results were as follows ; CHTS extract was increased significantly rCBF in a dose-dependent, but was not changed BP compared with CHTS non-treated group. Pretreatment with propranolol, indomethacin and methylene blue were inhibited CHTS induced increase of rCBF, propranolol(all CHTS-treated group) and indomethacin(CHTS 0.01 mg/kg) of them were significantly decreased. Pretreatment with propranonol and indomethacin were inhibited CHTS induced increase of BP, but pretreated with methylene blue was significantly accelerated BP in high dosage. This results suggest that CHTS increased rCBF by dilating pial arterial diameter and the action of CHTS is also mediated by adrenergic β -receptor and cyclooxygenase.

The effects of ethanol extacts of aconite root (Aconitum koreanum) on mean arterial pressure, heart rate, pulse pressure, and respiration were investigated and also studied the effect on electrical activation of the hypothalamus in cats. From the present experiment the following results were obtained. 1) On administering 5 mg or 10 mg aconite extracts per kg of body weight, the mean arterial blood pressure declined markedly possibly as the result of negative inotropic and chronotropic effects of aconite. 2) From the enhanced pressor responses to intravenously injected epinephrine, the existance of vasodilatory effect of the aconite was suggested. 3) After administration of aconite extract, no significant differences were observed in the presser responses to carotid occlusion and to electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus. It is, therefore, concluded that the aconite extract exerts no significant effect on the excitability of hypothalamus as well as medullary cardiovascular center of cats. 4) After administration of $5{\sim}10$ mg/kg aconite extracts, respiratory rate was increased while depth of respiration decreased. On the otherhand, respiratory rate was markedly decreased by injection of 20 mg/kg aconite into animal.

Objectives : This experimental study was designed to investigate the effects of Lumbricus extract (LE) on the changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in normal rats, and further to determine the mechanism of action of LE. Methods : The changes of rCBF were observed by Laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and the changes of MABP were recorded by a data acquisition system assembled with MacLab and Macintosh. Results : LE significantly increased rCBF in a high dosage(10.0 mg/kg, i.p), but MABP was somewhat increased as compared with baseline. This result suggests that LE significantly increased rCBF by dilating pial arterial diameter. Increase of LE-induced rCBF was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with indomethacin (1 mg/kg, i.p), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, but was not significantly inhibited by pretreatment with methylene blue ($10{\mu}g/kg$, i.p), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase. Conclusions : LE increased rCBF by dilating pial arterial diameter, and the action of this response was mediated by cyclooxygenase.

The study was designed to investigate the effects of Palmul-Tang(PMT) on the change of cerebral hemodynamics [regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF), pial arterial diameter(PAD) and mean arterial blood pressure(MABP)] in normal and cerebral ischemic rats. The change of rCBF and MABP were determinated by laser-doppler flowmetry(LDF), and the change of PAD was determinated by video-microscopy. The results in normal rats were as follows ; PMT significantly increased rCBF and PAD in a dose-dependent, and PMT increased MABP in a dose-dependent. This results were suggested that PMT significantly increased rCBF by dilating PAD. The results in cerebral ischemic rats were as follows ; Both rCBF and PAD were significantly and stably increased by PMT(10㎎/㎏, i.p.) during the period of cerebral reperfusion, which contrasted with the findings of rapid and marked increase in control group. The present authors thought that PMT had an anti-ischemic effect through the improvement of cerebral hemodynamics.

Background: Inhaled nitric oxide therapy causes selective pulmonary vasodilation in congenital heart diseases with pulmonary hypertension. However discontinuation of inhaled nitric oxide therapy may be complicated by abrupt life-threatening rebound pulmonary hypertension(RPH) The purpose of this study was to prevent by comparing group I(without RPH n=13) and group II(with RPH n=6) to determine the risk factors involved inthe development of the RPH. Material and Method: Between Januarty 6, 1998 and April 14, 1999. we studied 19 consecutive children who were treated with inhaled nitric oxide for clinically significant pulmonary hypertension after an open heart surgery for congenital heart disease. the ratio of males and females was 12:7 ranging in age from 10 days to 6040 days(16 years) To identify the effects of nitric oxide between two groups we measured heart rate mean and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure mean and systolic systemic arterial pressure central venous pressure pH paO2/FiO2 and O2 saturation before and after the initiation and just before the withdrawal of the inhaled nitric oxide. result: In 6 of 19 patients(32%) withdrawal of inhaled nitric oxide caused RPH. In the two groups inhaled nitrix oxide decreased in pulmonary arterial pressure(PAP) without decreasing the systemic arterial pressure(SAP) and increased PaO2/FiO2 Compared with patients who had no RPH(group I) patients who had RPH(group II) were older in age (1204$\pm$1688 versus 546$\pm$1654 days p<0.05) received less nitric oxide therapy(34$\pm$18 versus 67$\pm$46 hours p<0.05) has shorter weaning process(5$\pm$3 versus 15一13 hours p<0.05) and received lowerconcentration of initial nitric oxide supply(11$\pm$8 versus 17$\pm$8 ppm p>0.05) and lower concentration just before the withdrawal nitric oxide(4.2$\pm$2.6 versus 5.6$\pm$2.6 ppm, p>0.05) Conclusion : We speculate that older age shorter of nitric oxide therapy shorter weaning process are the risk factors of RPH.
