천연물을 기반으로 한 신약 개발은 일반적으로 오랜 기간 동안의 원료 약물로써 사용해 온 경험에 의한 다양한 임상적 결과의 축적과 이로 인한 안정성(stability)과 안전성(safety)의 확보 및 신약 개발 시간의 단축과 같은 이점을 가지고 있어, 천연물 유래 약물 연구는 꼭 필요한 실정이다. 다양한 신경질환에서 신경세포의 사멸과 미세아교세포의 과도한 활성화 즉 뇌염증이 관찰되며 이를 억제할 수 있는 물질에 대한 연구는 활발히 진행 중이지만, 현재까지 신경세포 사멸과 뇌염증을 동시에 억제하는 물질 개발 시도는 거의 없었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 천연물에서 추출한 물질로 총 240개로 구성된 라이브러리로부터 신경전달물질 중의 하나인 glutamate 과잉처리에 의한 산화적 스트레스 유도 신경세포(HT22) 사멸과 LPS에 의한 미세아교세포(BV2)의 과도한 활성화 즉 뇌염증의 표지 인자 중 하나인 NO의 생산량의 감소 효과가 동시에 나타나는 물질을 검출한 결과, 대황에서 추출한 Chrysophanol이 검출되었으며 더욱이 Chrysophanol이 신경세포와 미세아교세포 모두에서 glutamate와 LPS에 의해 각각 유도된 세포내 활성산소(ROS) 발생을 억제하는 것을 확인하였다. 앞으로 Chrysophanol에 대한 보다 깊은 연구를 통하여 산화적 스트레스에 의한 신경세포 사멸과 미세아교세포의 과잉 활성화에 따른 뇌염증의 발생을 동시에 억제하는 신경질환의 치료 및 예방 신약개발 후보 물질 가능성을 제시 하고자 한다.

Literatural study for Delirious speech and Fading murmuring, the results were as follows. 1. Delirious speech and Fading murmuring are given at the speech impediment. Derious speech to be out of language's order and slur the end of his words, and Fading murmuring is to repeat in losing conscious. 2. In constrast with Delirious speech and Fading murmuring, Maniac speech is induced by a general term for manic-depressive psychosis. Luoyan is to say in a feeble voice and mumble in a sleeping condition, and Paraphasia and Solioquy are appeared in a clear mental condition. The speech impediment is caused by damages of the nervous system and speech organ, and Yuyancuoluan is appeared in a feverless condition. 3. The symptoms of Delirious speech are to utter ravings and have a loud and heavy voice, and these resemble the delirium which specially has a speech impediment and muddle in the western medical world. The symptoms of Fading murmuring are to speak ambigously, repeatedly, and illogically and so are similar to the Wernicke dysphasia which is caused by a incomprehensible conversation. 4. The causes of Delirious speech are to spread a stomach heat and the lungs pathogenic qi into heart, not to sweat in cold damage, the Three Yang Combination of syndrome, stomach repletion, yang collapse due to excessive sweat, diarrhea, after diarrhea, heat to enter the blood chamer, feces to remain in the stomach, stasis blood to enter the viscera, to carry anger to extremity, and to be constipated. the cause of Fading murmuring is to despair vacuity desertion of vital essence and energy after a serious illness. 5. The causes of delirium are general infection, postoperative states, and metabolism disorders and those of Wernicke dysphasia are disorders of the blood vessel, brain tumors and traumas. 6. Delirious speech is cured with the discrimination of vacuity and repletion. Baitong Tang(白通湯), Chaihu Guizhi Tang(柴胡桂枝湯), Chaihu Jia Longgu Muli Tang(柴胡加龍骨牡蠣湯) are prescribed in case of vacuity, while Chengqi Tang(承氣湯), Baihu Tang(白虎湯), Liangge San(凉膈散) are in case of repletion. Fading murmuring is treated with Xiao Chaihu Tang(小柴胡湯), Fuzi Tang Jiawei(附子湯加味), Shengmai San(生脈散), and Renshen Sanbai Tang(人蔘三白湯). 7. To acupunture Qimen-Xue(期門穴) is required when it is late to prescribe a medical decoction or the hyperactive liver qi attacking the spleen.

목 적: 수면 장애는 자율신경계의 변화를 유발하여 심혈관계에 영향을 준다. 일차성 불면증(primary insomnia, 이하 PI)은 수면부족 및 각성으로, 폐쇄성 수면무호흡 증후군(obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, 이하 OSAS)은 수면 중 빈번한 각성, 저산소증 등으로 교감신경계 항진을 유발한다. 이에 OSAS와 PI 사이에서 심박동률 변이도(heart rate variability, 이하 HRV) 분석을 통해 자율신경계의 변화 정도를 비교하고자 하였다. 방 법: 임상병력 및 야간수면다원검사(nocturnal polysomnography, 이하 NPSG)로 선택된 PI와 OSAS 전체 315 명의 대상자 중 OSAS는 무호흡-저호흡 지수(apnea-hypopnea index, 이하 AHI)에 따라서 경도, 중등도, 중증도 OSAS로 분류하여 PI를 포함하여 4개의 군으로 분류되었다. 이후 연령, 성별, 군간 개체수를 고려하여 최종적으로 110명의 대상자가 선택되었고, PI군(평균나이 41.50, 표준편차 13.16, AHI <5, n=20), 경도 OSAS군(평균나이 43.67, 표준편차 12.11, AHI 5~15, n=30), 중등도 OSAS군(평균나이 44.93, 표준편차 12.38, AHI 16~30, n=30), 중증도 OSAS군(평균 나이 45.87, 표준편차 12.44, AHI >30, n=30)의 4개 군으로 나누었다. 이후 NPSG를 통해 얻은 각 군의 HRV 지수 비교를 위하여 연령과 체질량지수(body weight index, BMI)를 공변량으로 하여 공분산분석(analysis of covariance, ANCOVA)를 실시한 후 사후분석으로 Sidak test를 실시하였다. 결 과: HRV 지수의 비교 결과 PI군과 경도, 중등도의 OSAS군 간에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 그러나 PI군과 중증도 OSAS군 사이에는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 군간비교에서 통계적으로 가장 현저한 차이를 보인 PI군과 중증도 OSAS군에서 HRV 지수 중 통계적으로 의미 있는 각각의 값은 다음과 같았다. Average RR interval은 $991.1{\pm}27.1$과 $875.8{\pm}22.0$ ms(p=0.016), standard deviation of NN interval(SDNN)은 $85.4{\pm}6.6$과 $112.8{\pm}5.4$ ms(p=0.022), SDNN index는 $57.5{\pm}5.2$과 $87.6{\pm}4.2$(p<0.001), total power는 $11893.5{\pm}1359.9$과 $8097.0{\pm}1107.2ms^2$(p=0.008), very low frequency(VLF)는 $7534.8{\pm}1120.1$과 $11883.8{\pm}912.0ms^2$(p=0.035), low frequency(LF)는 $2724.2{\pm}327.8$과 $4351.6{\pm}266.9ms^2$였다(p=0.003). 결 론: 본 연구에서는 PI군에 비해 중증도의 OSAS군에서 HRV 지수 중 교감신경계의 영향을 많이 받는 VLF, LF 등이 상승하는 양상을 보였고, 이를 통해 PI에 비해 중증도의 OSAS가 교감신경계 활동증가에 보다 더 큰 영향을 끼치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Substantial evidence suggests that behavioral and reinforcing effects of cocaine can be mediated by the mesolimbic dopaminergic system. It has been shown that repeated injections of cocaine produce increase in locomotor activity, expression of the immediate-early gene, c-fos in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), which was one of the main dopaminergic terminal areas. Herbal-acupuncture as a therapeutic intervention has been widely used for the treatment of many functional disorders such as drug abuse. Coptidis Rhizoma (CR) and its main component, berberine (BER) were selected as herbal medicine of herbal-acupuncture. Both medicines have been known to have the therapeutic effect on the central nervous system. In order to investigate the effects of CR and BER herbalacupuncture at shenmen (HT7) point (CR/H and BER/H) on the cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization, the influence of CR/H and BER/H on repeated cocaine-induced locomotor activity, the change of c-Fos expression in the brain by immunohistochemistry were examined. Male SD rats were given CR/H (0.4mg/kg) and BER/H (0.1mg/kg) 30 min before daily injections of cocaine hydrochloride (15mg/kg. i.p.) 10 days. After 3 days withdrawal, rats received a challenge injection of cocaine (15mg/kg, i.p.). Systemic challenge with cocaine produced much larger increased locomotor activity, accumbal Fos-like immunoreactivity in the NAc. Pretreatment with CR/H and BER/H significantly inhibited cocaine-induced locomotor activity, the change of c-Fos expression in the rats. Our data demonstrated that the inhibitory effects of cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization by CR/H and BER/H were closely associated with the reduction of presynaptic dopamine release in the NAc. These results suggest that CR/H and BER/H can be effectively applied to cocaine addiction.

This research has conducted studies on an Oriental medicine-based method of diagnosing of occupational musculoskeletal system diseases. This researcher has searched through existing relevant medical literature. Also, this researcher has worked on a moire topography using moire topography. In this course, this researcher has reached the following conclusion in relation to the possibility of using a moire topography as a diagnosing device of musculoskeletal system diseases under Oriental medicine . 1 The Western medicine outlines its criteria of screening occupational musculoskeletal system diseases as follows A. The occupational musculoskeletal diseases must clearly include one or more of the subjective symptoms characterized by pain, hypoesthesia dysaesthesia, anaesthesia. etc . B, There should be clinically admitted objective observations and diagnosis outlining that the disease concerned shows symptoms such as tenderness, induration. and edema that can appear with occupational musculoskeletal system diseases. dyscinesia should be admitted with the disease concerned, or there should be observations and diagnosis outlining that abnormality exists in electric muscular or nervous diagnosis and examination . C. It should be admitted that prior to the occurrence of symptoms or observations and diagnosis on musculoskeletal system-related diseases, a patient has been engaged in works with conditions requiring improper work posture or work movement. That is, this is an approach whereby they see abnormality in the musculoskeletal system come from material and structural defect, and adjust and control abnormality in the musculoskeletal system and secreta . 2. The Oriental medicines sees that a patient develops the pain of occupational musculoskeletal diseases as he cannot properly activate the flow of his life force and blood thus not only causing formation of lumps in the body and blocking the flow of life force and blood in some parts of the body. Hence, The Oriental medicine focuses on resolving the cause of weakening the flow of life force and blood, instead of taking material approach of correcting structural abnormality Furthermore , Oriental medicine sees that when muscle tension builds up, this presses blood vessels and nerves passing by, triggering circulation dyscrasia and neurological reaction and thus leading to lesion. Thus, instead of taking skeletal or neurophysiological approach. it seeks to fundamentally resolve the cause of the flow of the life force and blood in muscles not being activated. As a result Oriental medicine attributes the main cause of musculoskeletal system diseases to muscle tension and its build-up that stem from an individual's long formed chronicle habit and work environment. This approach considers not only the social structure aspect including companies owners and work environment that the existing methods have looked at, but also individual workers' responsibility and their environmental factors. Hence, this is a step forward method. 3 The diagnosis of musculoskeletal diseases under Oriental medicine is characterized by the fact that an Oriental medicine doctor uses not only photos taken by himself, but also various detection devices to gather information and pass comprehensive judgment on it. Thus, it is the core of diagnosis under Oriental medicine to develop diagnosing devices matching the characteristics of information to be induced and to interpret information so induced from the views of Oriental medicine. Diagnosis using diagnosing devices values the whole state of a patient and formal abnormality alike, and the whole balance and muscular state of a patient serves as the basis of diagnosis. Hence, this method, instead of depending on the information gathered from devices under Western medicine, requires devices that provide information on the whole state of a patient in addition to the local abnormality information that X-ray. CT, etc., can offer. This method sees muscle as the central part of the abnormality in the musculoskeletal system and thus requires diagnosing devices enabling the muscular state. 4. The diagnosing device using moire topography under Oriental medicine has advantages below and can be used for diagnosing musculoskeletal system diseases with industrial workers . First, the device can Provide information on the body in an unbalanced state. and thus identify the imbalance and difference of height in the left and right stature that a patient can not notice at normal times. Second, the device shows the twisting of muscles or induration regions in a contour map. This is not possible with existing shooting machines such as X-ray, CT, etc., thus differentiating itself from existing machines. Third, this device makes it possible for Oriental medicine to take its unique approach to the abnormality in the musculoskeletal system. Oriental medicine sees the state and imbalance state in muscles as major factors in determining the lesion of musculoskeletal system, and the device makes it possible to shoot the state of muscles in detail. In this respect, the device is significant. Fourth, the device has an advantage as non-aggression diagnosing device.

Objectives : This study is to observe the changes in the expression of neurotransmitters, such as NO, nNOS, and NE, upon the needle insertion to the sea points, which is one of the five transport points. Methods : Needles were inserted into rats, on both left and right sides of all sea points, including the LU5, PC3, HT3, LI11, TE10, SI8, SP9, LR8, KI10, ST36, GB34, and BL40, which are the sea points of five transport points for 12 meridian vessels. After insertion, needles were retained for five minutes. After the retention, blood was drawn via cardiac puncture, and tissues of each point near meridian vessels were extracted to examine the changes in the expression of NO, nNOS and NE. Results : In terms of the effect in NO production, there was a significant decrease only in the LU5 point, whereas there was a significant increase in the TE10 point alone. In terms of the expression of nNOS within tissues, none of the experimental groups showed significant changes based on the results of immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Regarding the formation of norepinephrine within tissues, the HT3, SP9, and KI10 point showed a significant decrease, while the PC3 and LR8 point showed a significant increase. Production of plasma norepinephrine was significantly increased at the TE10, SP9, LR8, GB34, and BL40 point. Conclusions : The effect of needles applied at the sea points of five transport points of 12 meridian vessels on the functions of NO, nNOS, and NE could be observed, and it is considered that the effect of needle stimulation on nervous system disorders could be studied through additional researches based on this one.
