In the present study, hormonal changes in uterine tissue and circulation were evaluated during the implantation period in rats in order to understand the mechanism by which implantation takes place. The results obtained were as follows. 1. Concentrations of serum estradiol and progesterone were significantly increased on days 4 and 5. 2. Concentration of estrogen receptor reached maximum on day 5 when implantation normally occurred in rats. On the other hand, progesterone receptor was gradually decreased, reaching the lowest on day 5. 3. Uterine PGs and cAMP concentrations were significantly increased on day 5. 4. Uterine PGs and cAMP concentrations in implant sites were significantly greater than those in non-implant sites. It is, therefore, concluded that prostaglandins and cAMP in uterine tissue as well as circulating ovarian steroid hormones were increased during the period of implantation, suggesting that these hormones might be actively involved in the process of implantation in rats.

This study was carried out to prove the effect of GMSKOHG on the cytotoxicity of human monocyte, the inhibition for prostaglandins($PGE_2$) and interleukins($IL-l.{\Beta}$), the produce of $TNF-{\alpha}$, and the size of mouse wounded. The result were obtainde as follows : 1. $0.001\%\;and\;0.0005\%$ of GMSKOHG was not showed the cytotoxicity of human monocyte. 2. $0.01\%\;and\;0.005\%$ of GMSKOHG inhibited the production of interleukins($IL-l{\Beta}$) in the human monocyte, but $0.001\%\;and\;0.0005\%$ of GMSKOHG didn't. 3. $0.001\%$ of GMSKOHG inhibited the production of $TNF-{\alpha}$ in the human monocyte. 4. $0.01\$(MeOH 및 EtOH) of GMSKOHG inhibited the production of prostaglandins($PGE_2$) in the human monocyte. 5. Wound healing was not effect.

This study aimed to develop analytical method for 8-isoprostanes as biomarkers for oxidative stress with LC/MS/MS technique and to apply the method for human urine samples. Analyzed compounds for urinary oxidative stress markers were 7 stereo-isomers of prostaglandins and the internal standard (iso-$PGF_{2{\alpha}}-d_4$) was used to adjust the recovery rate. The method for determining urinary iso-$PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ consisted of solid phase extraction and LC/MS/MS detection. Separation of isomers of prostaglandins completed by porous graphitic carbon column and buffer solution. Detection limits for urinary markers of oxidative stress, iso-$PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ with LC/MS/MS were 0.01 ng/ml by S/N ratio 3 and 0.028 ng/ml by calculated as to FDA method. The recovery (92.8~101.9%) and precision (8.8~20.7%) of analysis were feasible for detecting iso-$PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ in real human urine samples. We detected 4 isomers of prostaglandins in human urine samples. Mean (standard deviation) of urinary iso-$PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ concentration were 0.231 (0.117) ng/mg creatinine for smoking group and 0.154 (0.082) ng/mg creatinine for non-smoking group.

Two isoforms of cyclooxygenase (COX) have been identified - COX-1, which is constitlitively expressed in most tissues, and the inducible form, COX-2, of which expression is induced by inflammatory signals and mitogens. It has been considered that the beneficial effects of NSAIDs are due to the inhibition of COX-2 activity and the side effects are from the inhibition of COX-1 activity. Therefore, it is essential to develop selective COX-2 inhibitor for developing new GI-tolerable NSAIDS. To discover new leads for developing selective COX-2 inhibitors, three-hundred extracts of natural products were primarily screened with the system of prostaglandin accumulation in LPS-stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages. To identify whether these inhibitory activities of crude extracts on the accumulation of Prostaglandins were derived from direct action against COX-2, the effects of selected extracts on exogenous arachidonic acid-derived production of prostaglandins by LPS-stimulated macrophages were determined. Among them, 5 methanol extracts of natural products, such as Zingiberis Rhizoma, Alpinae Officinarum Rhizoma, Caryophilli Flos, Scutellariae Radix, Dalbergia ordorifera. inhibited more than 70% of the prostaglandin production in LPS-stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages at a con-centration of 1${\mu}$g/ml.

This study focused on the association of prostaglandins and a progestin, $17{\alpha}$, $20{\beta}P$-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one ($17{\alpha}20{\beta}P$) during the ovulation process in longchin goby, Chasmichthys dolichognathus. We performed several in vitro experiments using $850-920{\mu}m$ diameter oocytes which were at the migratory nucleus stage. With the $890-920{\mu}m$ diameter oocytes, no significant difference in ovulation was observed in any of the prostaglandins (PGE1, PGE2, and $PGF2{\alpha}$) treated groups although PGE2 and $PGF2{\alpha}$ at concentrations of 50 ng/mL increased ovulation slightly compared with controls; however, $17{\alpha}20{\beta}P$ production was stimulated with PGE1 alone at low concentrations (5 ng/mL). In $850{\mu}m$ diameter oocytes, $PGF2{\alpha}$ at concentrations of 50 and 500 ng/mL resulted in a significant increase in ovulation. $17{\alpha}20{\beta}P$ (50 ng/mL) alone had no observable effect on ovulation, but in the combined of $PGF2{\alpha}$ 50 or 500 ng/mL it caused the greatest effect on ovulation. The sensitivity of oocytes to the induction of ovulation varies between 850 and $890-920{\mu}m$, it appeared to vary depending on the migration status of nucleus. These results suggest that $PGF2{\alpha}$ (or combined of $17{\alpha}20{\beta}P$) was more potent in inducing ovulation of the longchin goby.
