In this study, in order to improve the disadvantages of the environmental error of the infusion set that performs infusion therapy in the existing clinical practice and to maximize the user's convenience by miniaturizing the existing infusion pump system, the structure of the muscle pump of the human vein was imitated. As a double check valve method, a method for preventing the backflow of fluid and discharging a constant fluid in one direction by external pressure was proposed. The proposed bio-mimic muscle pump uses a check valve that controls the flow of fluid in one direction and a silicone tube with elasticity, and a chamber is constructed. A peristaltic pump for applying intermittent pressure to the tube chamber was constructed using a multi-cam structure roller. In order to verify the performance of the proposed pump, optimization was performed while changing the number of multi-cam rollers and adjusting the speed of the roller driving motor, and the reproducibility of the instantaneous discharge amount and the continuous discharge amount of the pump was compared and tested. The performance of the muscle pump proposed in this study was verified through experiments that it can inject up to 1L of fluid within 12 hours, and that it is possible to inject the fluid with an accuracy of ±0.1ml. Real-time monitoring of the fluid injection volume through the bio-mimic muscle pump proposed in this study not only increases the convenience of the administrator, but also provides a precise fluid administration environment to more patients at a low cost, and additionally applies bubble detection and occlusion detection technology If so, it is believed that a safer medical environment can be provided to patients.

To study the underlying mechanism through which the endothelium-dependent relaxation is inhibited by blocking the $Na^+\;-K^+$ pump, the effects of $Na^+\;-K^+$ pump blockade on the release of EDRF and its relaxing activity were examined, using organ bath study, bioassay technique, and cGMP measurement. Endothelium-dependent relaxation was attenuated by blocking the $Na^+\;-K^+$ pump in the vascular ring with intact endothelium. In bioassay experiment EDRF release was decreased with the blockade of the $Na^+\;-K^+$ pump in the EDRF donor strip. Endothelium-dependent increase of cGMP level was suppressed by inhibiting the $Na^+\;-K^+$ pump in the test strips. The magnitude of relaxation of test strip which was induced by the perfusate that had passed through the EDRF donor strip was decreased with the blockade of the $Na^+\;-K^+$ pump in the test strip. Therefore, it could be suggested that the attenuation of endothelium-dependent relaxation caused by inhibiting $Na^+\;-K^+$ pump activity is due to both the decreased release of EDRF from endothelial cells and the decreased sensitivity of the smooth muscle cells to EDRF.

Vanadate의 수축에 이용되는 $Ca^{2+}$의 동원 경로와 Na-Pump억제가 vanadate의 수축에 어떤 영향을 미치는 지를 밝히기 위해 본 실험을 시행하여 다음과 같은 곁과를 얻었다. 1) 흰쥐의 자궁근에서는 vanadate는 수축을 일으켜 $5{\times}10^{-4}M$에서 최대수축을 나타내었으며 사람의 자궁근이 흰쥐의 자중근에 비해 vanadate에 더 민감한 반응을 보였다. 2) Vanadate에 의한 수축은 $Ca^{2+}$제거에 의해 완전히 억제되지 않았고 사람의 자궁근이 외부 $Ca^{2+}$의 농도변화에 더 민감한 반응을 보였다. 3) Vanadate에 의한 수축은 verapamil농도를 증가시킴에 따 억제되었으며 100k에 극한 수축을 완전 억제시키는$3{\times}10^{-5}M$ verapamil 존재하에서도 최대수의 40%정도가 남아있었고, 이 크기는 $Ca^{2+}$없는 용액에서의 수축의 크기와 유사하였다. 4) Na-pump억제시 vanadate의 수축은 증가하였고 이 현상은 $3{\times}10^{-5}M$ verapamil 존재하에서도 나타났다. 5) $Ca^{2+}$없는 ouabain용액에서 전처치후에 vanadate에 의한 수축은 증가하지 않았으나 외부내 $Ca^{2+}$을 부가할 나타나는 반음은 대조군에 비해 현저히 증가하였다. 6) Verapamil 존재시 vanadate에 의한 $Ca^{45}$유입은 완전히 억제되었으나 ouabain으로 처리한 후는 verapamil 존재하에서도 vanadate가 현저히 $Ca^{45}$유입을 일으켰다. 7) Ouabain이나 K 없는 용액으로 치리시간이 증가함에 따라 vanadate에 의한 수축의 증가정도는 더욱 더 현저하였다. 8) Ouabain 전처치시 증가된 vanadate에 의한 수축은 $10^{-4}M$ papaverine에 의해 현저히 억제되었다. 9) Acetylcholine에 의한 수축은 verapamil 존재하에서도 Na-pump억제 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 vanadate에 대해 사람의 자궁근이 흰쥐의 자궁근에 비해 더 민감한 반응을 보이고 vanadate에 의한 수축에는 외부와 내부 $Ca^{2+}$이 모두 이용되며 Na-pump 억제시 여러가지 근수축물질이 verapamil에 의해 억제되지 않는 $Ca^{2+}$유입을 일으키며 이 유입경로의 성질은 확실히 알 수 없으나 Papaverine에 의해 억제되며 막전위의 변화와 관련이 있는 것으로 생각된다.

Force development of smooth muscle cells is directly regulated by the concentration of free calcium ions in the sarcoplasm, and the sarcoplasmic concentration of calcium ion can be modulated by electrogenic Na-K pump. The role of Na-K pump on vascular tone was studied in isolated rabbit renal artery. Helical strips of arterial muscle were prepared from left renal arteries. All experiments were performed in $HCO_3^--buffered$ Tyrode solution which was aerated with $3%CO_2-97%\;O_2$ mixed gas and kept at $35^{\circ}C$. In some experiments, rabbit was injected intraperitoneally $18{\sim}24$ hours prior to the experiments, with a large dose(5 mg/kg body wt) of reserpine, in order to eliminate the catecholamines present in intrinsic adrenergic nerve terminate. Treatment used in this experiment that inhibits Na-K pump was the exposure of strips to K-free Tyrode solution. Contractile response to K free Tyrode solution developed slowly and the time required for maximum contracture was $20{\sim}30$ minutes. This K-free contracture was rapidly relaxed by the addition of potassium to the bathing solution. No K-free contracture occurred in a Ca-free Tyrode solution. But contraction developed rapidly when calcium ion was added to the bathing solution after 30 minute exposure of the strip to Ca-free Tyrode solution. This contracture was completely inhibited by Ca-antagonist, verapamil. The K-free contracture was abolished by ${\alpha}-adrenergic$ blocker, phentolamine, as well as by the catecholamine depletion from adrenergic nerve terminals. Even in reserpinized strip, the exogenous norepinephrine-induced contraction in K-free Tyrode solution was rapidly suppressed by the addition of potassium ion. The results of this experiment suggest that K free contracture develops by norepinephrine release from adrenergic nerve terminals, while the relaxation of K-free contracture is induced by the activation of electrogenic Na-K pump.

Recently endogenous digitalis-like substances were found in the blood of various cardiovascular diseases and they have been considered one of the causes of evoking hypertension. However, the mechanism of endogenous digitalis-like substances-induced hypertension is not clarified yet. Therefore, the effects of Na-K pump inhibition on the contractility of vascular smooth muscle[conduit and resistant artery were investigated, using organ bath and bioassay experiment. Aortic and carotid arterial rings[conduit artery and the branches of brachial and superior mesenteric artery[resistant artery were used to find the effect of Na-K pump inhibition. The results obtained were as followes;The magnitudes of contractions induced by norepinephrine, serotonin, or acetylcholine in all these arteries were significantly increased by the inhibition of Na-K pump. The increased contractile responses to these agonists, especially to serotonin, were much more prominant in resistant arteries. Nitroprusside-induced relaxations were attenuated by Na-K pump inhibition and there were no significant differences in the effects of Na-K pump inhibition on nitroprusside-induced relaxations of these blood vessels. Endothelium-dependent relaxation was suppressed by the inhibition of Na-K pump, especially by the administration of ouabain, and this inhibitory effect was much more prominent in the branches of superior mesenteric artery, compared with other arteries. In the branches of superior mesenteric arteries, endothelium-dependent relaxation was completely blocked by ouabain. The release of EDRF was partially suppressed by Na-K pump inhibition.From the above results, it is suggested that the hypertension due to the increase in vascular resistance can be evoked by the inhibition of Na-K pump and endogenous digitalis-like substances induce hypertension through this mechanism.

To get a better insight into the exxistence and the role of a Na-Ca exchange mechanism in smooth muscle, the effect of Na substitution with sucrose on tension development, cellular Ca uptake and $^{45}Ca$ efflux was investigated using isolated cat ileal longitudinal muscle strips. Experimental results were summarized as follows;1) Exposure of the cat ileal longitudinal muscle to Na-free solution induced a contraction, and the magnitude of the contraction increased after incubation of the muscle strips with ouabain ($2{\times10^{-}5}$M) for 1hr. 2) Cellular Ca uptake in Na-free solution increased with an increase in Na content of the Na-loading media, and a linear relationship existed between tissue Na content and cellular Ca uptake for 10 min 3) After tissues were equilibrated in PSS containing $^{45}Ca$ for 2hr, cellular Ca uptake decreased with rising the external Na concentration. 4)Removal of medium Na or inhibition of the Na-K pump decreased the rate of $^{45}Ca$ efflux. These results strongly suggested that Na substitution increases cellular Ca uptake and decreases the rate of $^{45}Ca$ efflux via a Na-Ca exchange mechanism.

The present study investigated the role of peripheral group I, II, and III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in mustard oil (MO)-induced nociceptive response in the masseter muscles of lightly anesthetized rats. Experiments were carried out on male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 300-350 gm. After initial anesthesia with sodium pentobarbital (40 mg/kg, i.p.), one femoral vein was cannulated and connected to an infusion pump for intravenous infusion of sodium pentobarbital. The rate of infusion was adjusted to provide a constant level of anesthesia. MO (30 ${\mu}L$) was injected into the mid-region of the left masseter muscle via a 30-gauge needle over 10 seconds. After 30 mL injection of 5, 10, 15, or 20% MO into the masseter muscle, total number of hindpaw-shaking behavior was monitored. Intramuscular administration of MO significantly produced hindpawshaking behavior in a dose-dependent manner, as compared with the vehicle (mineral oil)-treated group. Intramuscular pretreatment with 10 or 100 ng DHPG, a group I mGluRs agonist, enhanced MO-induced hindpaw-shaking behavior, while APDC (20 or 200 ${\mu}g$), a group II mGluRs agonist, or L-AP4 (2 ${\mu}g$), a group III mGluRs agonist, significantly reduced MO-induced nociceptive behavior. The antinociception, produced by group II or III mGluRs agonists, was abolished by pretreatment with LY341495, a group II mGluRs antagonist, or CPPG, a group III mGluRs antagonist, res-pectively. Based on these observations, peripheral mGluRs differentially modulated MO-induced nociceptive behavior response in the craniofacial muscle pain and peripheral group II and III mGluRs agonists could be used in treatment of craniofacial muscle nociception.

Long QT syndrome is a cardiac repolarization disorder and is associated with an increased risk of torsades de pointes. The acquired form is most often attributable to administration of specific medications and/or electrolyte imbalance. This review provides insights into the risk for QT prolongation associated with drugs frequently used in the treatment of chronic pain. In the field of pain medicine all the major drug classes (i.e. NSAIDs, opioids, anticonvulsive and antidepressant drugs, cannabinoids, muscle relaxants) contain agents that increase the risk of QT prolongation. Other substances, not used in the treatment of pain, such as proton pump inhibitors, antiemetics, and diuretics are also associated with long QT syndrome. When the possible benefits of therapy outweigh the associated risks, slow dose titration and electrocardiography monitoring are recommended.

Fluoroquinolones in muscle and egg were separated by liquid extraction and determined. The analysis was carried out using following conditions; C18 column ($150{\times}4.6mm$, $5{\mu}m$), mobile phase composed of D.W. (containing 0.4% triethylamine and phosphoric acid) : methanol : acetonitrile (780:100:120, v/v/v), quarternary pump at a flow rate of 0.9ml/min and $20{\mu}l$ of injection volume, fluorescence detector with EX 278nm/Em 456nm. The calibration range of seven fluoroquinolones showed linearity ($r^2{\geq}0.999$) at concentration range of $0.025{\sim}0.8{\mu}g/ml$. The recoveries in fortified muscle and egg represented more than 81.3%. The detection limits for ofloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, danofloxacin, saraloxacin and orbifloxacin were 3.1, 2.5, 3.6, 1.7, 0.9, 2.5 and $2.1{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. We also monitored fluoroquinolones residue in the sample (chicken muscle 182, cattle muscle 140, pig muscle 139, egg 212) using EEC-plate (E. coli ATCC 11303) screening and HPLC confirmation methods. The screening test results, fluoroquinolones, antibacterial substances were all negative.
