가토 적출 신동맥에 있어서 purinergic 신경 분포를 perivascular nerve stimulation을 통해서 확인하였다. 1. 가토 적출 신동맥은 perivascular nerve stimulation에 의해 수축성 반응을 나타내었다. 2. Perivascular nerve stimulation에 의한 수축현상은 자극의 크기와 자극의 빈도에 의존적이었으며, 내피세포의 유무에는 영향을 받지 않았다. 3. Perivascular nerve stimulation에 의한 수축현상은 prazosin$(1{\mu}M)$에 의해 강하게 억제되어졌으며, tetrodotoxin$(1{\mu}M)$ 또는 ${\alpha},{\beta}-methylene$ATP$(10{\mu}M)$에 의한 $P_{2x}-purinoceptor $ desensitization에 의해 완전히 수축현상이 사라졌다. 이와같은 결과는 가토 신동맥에는 purinergic신경이 분포되어 있으며, perivascular nerve stimulation에 의해 purinergic 신경전달물질이 norepinephrine과 함께 유리되어지는 것을 시사하고 있다.

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of action of baclofen on the detrusor muscle isolated from rat. Rats (Sprague-Dawley) were sacrificed by decapitation and exsanguination. Horizontal muscle strips of $2mm{\times}15mm$ were prepared for isometric myography in isolated muscle chamber bubbled with 95% / 5%-$O_2$ / $CO_2$ at $37^{\circ}C$, and the pH was maintained at 7.4. Detrusor strips contracted responding to the electrical field stimulation (EFS) by 2 Hz, 20 msec, monophasic square wave of 60 VDC. The initial peak of EFS-Induced contraction was tended to be suppresed by ${\alpha},{\beta}$-methylene-adenosine 5'-triphosphate (mATP), a partial agonist of purinergic receptor, and baclofen, a $GABA_B$ receptor agonist (statistically nonsignificant). The late sustained contraction by EFS was suppressed significantly (p < 0.05) by additions of atropione, a cholinergic muscarinic receptor antagonist and baclofen. The adenosine 5'-triphosphate-induced contraction was completely abolished by mA TP but not by baclofen. In the presence of atropine, the subsequent addition of acetylcholine could not contract the muscle strips: but the addition of acetylcholine in the presence of baclofen evoked a contraction to a remarkable extent. These results suggest that in the condition of present study, the cholinergic innervation may play a more important role than the purinergic one, and baclofen suppresses the contractility of rat detrusor by the stimulation of the $GABA_B$ receptors to inhibit the release of neurotransmitter from the cholinergic nerve ending.

To elucidate whether or not innervation of purinergic nerve and functional action of $P_{2X}$-, $P_{2Y}$-purinoceptor, the neurogenic effects of perivascular nerve stimulation were investigated using by physiograph recording system in isolated coronary artery of pig. 1. The contractile responses induced by perivascular nerve stimulation (20V, 0.5msec, 20sec) were the frequency (2~64Hz) dependent manner. 2. The neurogenic contractile responses induced by perivascular nerve stimulation were inhibited by the pretreatment with either ATP or adenosine ($10^{-7}{\sim}10^{-4}M$). 3. The neurogenic contractile responses induced by perivascular nerve stimulation (20V, 16Hz, 0.5msec, 20sec) were increased by the pretreatment with reactive blue 2, but were not affected by the pretreatment with 8-phenyltheopylline ($10^{-5}M$). 4. The neurogenic contractile responses induced by perivascular nerve stimulation (20V, 16Hz, 0.5msec, 20sec) were inhibited by the desensitization of the P2X-purinoceptor using by treatment of $10^{-5}M$, -methylene ATP as 3 times over again. The accomplished present study on isolated coronary artery of pig suggest that purinergic nerve is innervated and that the neurogenic contractile response was mediated by activation of $P_{2X}$-purinoceptor and the neurogenic relaxative response was mediated by activation of both $P_1$ and $P_{2Y}$-purinoceptor.

This study was aimed at investigation of the stimulatory innervations on the rat urinary bladder. Detrusor muscle strips of 15 mm long were suspended in isolated muscle chambers containing 1 ml of PSS maintained at $37^{\circ}C$ and aerated with 95% $O_2/5%CO_2$. Isometric myography was perfomed, and the results were as followings : Muscle strips showed "on-contraction" by electric field stimulation (EFS) frequency-dependently. The EFS-induced contraction was not affected by hexamethonium, a ganglion blocker, but abolished, by tetrodotoxin, a nerve conduction blocker. Physostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor enhanced the EFS-induced contraction which was inhibited by hemicholinium, an inhibitor of choline uptake at the cholinergic nerve ending. Such an EFS-induced contraction was antagonized by atropine only partially, and the atropine-resistant portion was completely abolished by the desensitization of purinergic receptors by prolonged incubatin of the strips in the presence of high concentratin of ATP. Bethanechol, a cholinergic agonist, elicited concentration-dependent contraction. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a purinergic agonist, induced a weak but concentration-dependent contraction of short duration. Bethanechol-induced contraction was not affected by ATP-desensitization, and ATP-induced contraction was not affected by tetrodotoxin. These results suggest that there are at least two main stimulatory components of innervations in the detrusor muscle, cholinergic muscarinic and purinergic ; and those receptors are independent each other.
