The developmental changes of three enteroendocrine cells, i.e. gastrln, somatostatin and serotonin, of gastric and small intestinal mucosa in pre- and postnatal rat were examined by peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method. In the course of development, gastrin cells were obsenred in the pyloric gland region and the whole part of small intestine, while somstostatin and serotonin cells in the whole gastric gland region and small intestine. More entroendocrine cells were detected in the pyloric gland region and duodenum than in the other portion. In the stomach, gastrin, somatostatin and serotonin ceils were first obsenred in the pyloric Bland region on 17, 19 and 19 days of gestation respectively. The small intestinal gastrin and serotonin cells were first appeared in the duodenum and iriunum on 17 and 15 days of gestation respectively, and somatostBtin cells in duodenum on 17 days of gestation. The number of cells examined from the stomach were increased from fetal to weanling period and showed a decrease during adult period: the notable increase was shown at the end of suckling period or at early weanling period. The cells of the small intestine increased from fetal to suckling period, especially, these cells markedly increased at the end of fetal period or at early suckling period, and decreased from weanling period. The shape of these cells was oval or fusiform during fetal period. In the stomach, most of gastrin cells turned out to be oval and open-type from suckling period, while the remaining two tripes of cells were oval and open- or closed-type. In the small intestine, 311%Ves of cells examined were changed to fusiform and open-type from the end of fetal period. Three types of cell were distributed over the stratified epithelium on 15 and 17 days of gestation. In the stomach, these cells were distributed lower gastric pit and gland from the following fetal period, and were detected mainly on the upper part of gland from suckling period, and then obsenred on the whole part of gland. In the small intestine, most of cells distributed over only between epithelium of villi on 19 days of gestation, increased in number on the crypt from following fetal period, and also observed abundantly in the crypt at adult period.

Comparative studies were made on some sulfonamides, used individually and combined with parasympatholytic agents as regards (1) the absorption rate through isolated rat small intestine (in vitro), (2) the absorption rate through rat small intestine (in vivo), and (3) the blood concentration of sulfonamides were examined by its oral administration with each combined drug to rabbits, and the following effects were found, parasympatholytic agents inhibit the absorption of sulfonamides from the small intestinal tract. Comparison of the inhibitic efficiency of parasympatholytic agents is as follows: oxazepam, oxyphencyclimine hydrochloride, probantheline bromide, atropine sulfate (The examples are from the weakest to the strongest). Decrement of the absorption rate of sulfonamides is as follows: sulfadiazine, sulfathiazole, sulfamethoxypyridazine, sulfadimethoxine, sulfamerazine, sulfamethazine (The example are from the strongest to the weakest). Additionally, it is assumed that if the combined drugs were absorbed from the small intestine in the original form, those inhibitic effects should be best regarding to their sulfonamide per parasympatholytic agent combined rate "25:1" than to their any other rates.her rates.

To evaluate the physiological significance of xanthine oxidase (XO) in rat skin, the activity of XO (type O) in skin was compared with that of small intestine or liver. Concomitantly, XO activities in some partial portions (scalp, leg, dorsal and ventral part) of skin were determined and then compared with each partial portion. XO activity of skin was lower than that of small intestine and rather higher than that of liver. Furthermore, the activity of XO in skin, after clipping of hairs and then in 5 days, was more increased than that of rat which was clipped before having been sacrificed. As for activities of free radical scavenging system (GPx, GST, SOD), skin is lower than liver and small intestine. Although it is hewn that the oxygen free radical generated by XO system lead to injurious effect on the cell, the XO activity of ventral part which is to be less exposed to xenobiotics and biological agents was the lowest among those of ventral, dorsal, leg and scalp parts in skin. In conclusion, it may be hypothesized that XO system in skin act on defence mechanism.

The absorption of Aminopyrine from the small intestine of a rat in combination with antihistamic agent, Diphenhydramine, Pheniramine, Tripelennamine and Diphenhydramine respectively, was examined. Through the rat small intestine canal, a definite quantity of a sample solution comprising 0.5 mM of Aminopyrine and 0.1 mM of each antihistamic agent in phosphate buffer solution (pH=7.4) was perfused through the rat small intestine at rate 5 ml per minute. The samples of the circulating solution were taken out after 5 minutes of the perfusion to give initial concentration and every 30 minutes for 3 hours. The amount of residual Aminopyrine in the solution was determined photometrically at 720 m.mu. by using 0.4% potassium ferricyanate solution and 1% ferric nitrate in 0.1N nitric solution. The mixed compounds of Aminopyrine with antihistamic agent, such as Aminopyrine with Diphehydramine, Aminopyrine with Pheniramine, Aminopyrine with Tripelennamine and Aminopyrine with Chloropheniramine showed more increased absorption than Aminopyrine alone. the absorption rate constants and apparent permeability coefficients of the mixed compounds were shown in detail.

Objectives : In order to study the clinical efficiency of Dohwatang, based on Oriental Medical References, using experimental animals, we studied ulcers, gastric juice secretion, free acidity, total acidity, and the action of transport rates in the intestine. Methods : We used rats administered with the above herbs. Results : Dohwa-tang showed remarkable inhibitory effects on peptic ulcers, gastric juice secretion, free acidity, and total acidity in pyloricligated rat. It also showed remarkable inhibitory effects on the transportability in the large intestine of rats. But Dohwa-tang didn't show any remarkable difference on stressed rats. Conclusions : Dohwatang works better for chronic pyloristenosis-peptic ulcer and for diarrhea than acute stress ulcer.

Phytase of rat intestine had a large amount of oilgosacchanrides ; The enzyme consisted of two different subunits with the molecular weights of 90 KDa and 70 KDa in its intack form, whereas the apparent molecular weights tumed to 72 KDa and 52 KDa, respectively, after deglycosylation. The treatment with glycopeptidase F reduced the molecular weights from 90 KDa and 70 KDa to 83 KDa and 52 KDa, respectively, While endoglycosidase H caused no change in their molecular weights. These results indicate that the 70KDa subunit contains only the N-linked oilgosaccharide chains, while the 90KDa subunit ocntains O-linked oilgosaccharides as well as N-linked ones. Enzyme-linked lectin assays suggeted that bisecting N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and galactose 1-4 N-acetyl-D-glucosamine structures were present and that fucose was included in these oilgosaccharide moieties. Sialic acid was not found in either subunit.

This study was carried out to investigate the motor activity and glucose transport and metabolism of Gaewool-Whadam-Jian(GWJ) in rat gastro-intestinal tract. The motor activity of the rat gastro-intestinal tract has been investigated by means of measuring barium sulfate passage degrees. Atropine treatment significantly delayed barium sulfate transit, and GWJ pretreatment increased intestinal motor activity, but not significant. GWJ administration showed no toxicity to kidney and liver. Transport and metabolism of glucose were studied in everted sac of rat small intestine with incubation under several conditions. The transport and metabolism of glucose were greater at jejunum than ileum. So, everted jejunum of rat were used to study the effect of GWJ. When GWJ were treated, the concentration of glucose were higher than untreated group. This result was thought to be influenced by the glucose in GWJ. When 2, 4 dinitrophenol and phlorizin were treated, the transport and metabolism of glucose were decreased, but GWJ treated together, the concentration of glucose in serosal solution increased. Gastric juice secretion and total acidity significantly decreased by administration of GWJ through duodenum region. The mechanism of effect of GWJ was still unidentified, Dut through continuous investigation, the effect of GWJ should be investigated.

The inhibitory effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the isolated intestinal strips of the tortoise (Amyda japonica), rat, rabbit and guinea pig was investigated. 1) The strips from the middle or lower part of the tortoise intestine responded with relaxation to 5-HT $(10^{-9}{\sim}10^{-5}g/ml)$, and the magnitude of the relaxation was proportional to the dose of 5-HT. The rectal part of the tortoise intestine, in contrast, showed contraction, the magnitude of which also was proportional to the dose of 5-HT. 2) Various blocking agents such as methysergide, morphine, tetracaine, nethalide, bretylium, hexamethonium, mecamylamine and chlorisondamine, showed no selective blocking activity on the relaxant effect of 5-HT on the tortoise intestine. The inhibitory effect of isoproterenol on the tortoise intestine, however, was selectively blocked by nethalide, and the stimulatory effect of 5-HT on the rectal part of the tortoise was blocked by methysergide. 3) In the presence of 5-HT, the stimulatory effect of DMPP on the tortoise intestine was remarkably attenuated, whereas that of acetylcholine and $BaCl_2$ was little affected. In the presence of isoproterenol, the stimulatory effect of acetylcholine and $BaCl_2$ were affected, but that of DMPP was little affected. 4) Large dose of 5-HT($10^{-4}$g/ml) produced inhibitory effect on the strips from the distal part of the isolated colon of the rat, rabbit and guinea pig, when the strips had been exposed to 5-HT($10^{-4}$g/ml), methysergide or phen`oxybenzamine. 5) Bretylium, as well as nethalide, abolished or remarkably reduced, in a few cases of the experiments, the inhibitory effect of the large dose of 5-HT on the distal part of the colon, whereas morphine did not affect it. 6) The ileal strips of the guinea pig also showed relaxation, as in the colonic strips, having been exposed to the large dose of 5-HT or phenoxybenzamine. This effect, however, was not obsered in the case of the rabbit ileum. 7) The property of the action-site of 5-HT in the tortoise intestine seemd to be different from the 5-HT receptors which have been revealed by several investigators. 8) Adrenergic component seemed to be participated in the inhibitory effect of 5-HT on the colon of the rat and rabbit.
