In order to investigate the effect of the Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herb-acupuncture treated on Shinsu($BL_{23}$) and Taejo($BL_{11}$) loci on the estrogen-deficiency osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy in rats, serum osteocalcin estradiol progesterone follicular stimulating hormone(FSH) calcium(Ca) and phosphorous(P) levels were monitored. The results were as follows : 1. Serum osteocalcin levels were significantly (p<0.01, p<0.05) increased in the Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herb-acupuncture treated on Shinsu and Taejo group compared with control group. 2. Serum estradiol levels were increased In the Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herb-acupuncture treated on Shinsu and Taejo group compared with control group, but Taejo group did not show significant value. 3. Serum progesterone levels were significantly(p<0.01) increased in the Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herb-acupuncture treated on Shinsu and Taejo group compared with control group. 4. Serum FSH levels were significantly(p<0.01, p<0.05) decreased in the Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herb-acupuncture treated on Shinsu and Taejo group compared with control group. 5. Serum Ca levels were significantly(p<0.01) increased in the Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herb-acupuncture treated on Shinsu group compared with control group, but Taejo group did not show significant value. 6. Serum P levels were significantly(p<0.01, p<0.05) decreased in the Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herb-acupuncture treated on Shinsu and Taejo group compared with control group. According to these results, the Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herb-acupuncture treated on Shinsu and Taejo loci have favorable effect on treatment and prevention of osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy in rats.

This study introduces the development of new supercritical water oxidation(SCW)(multiple step oxidation) to destruct recalcitrant organic substances totally and safely by using sodium nitrate as an oxidant. This method has solved the problems of conventional SCW, such as precipitation of salt due to lowered permittivity, pressure increase following rapid rise of reaction temperature, and corrosion of reactor due to the generation of strong acid. Destruction condition and rate in the supercritical water were examined using Polyvinyl Chloride(PVC) and ion exchange resins as organic substances. The experiment was carried out at $450^{\circ}C$ for 30min, which is relatively lower than the temperature for supercritical water oxidation $(600-650^{\circ}C)$. The decomposition rates of various incombustible organic substances were very high [PVC$(87.5\%)$, Anion exchange resin$(98.6\%)$, Cationexchange resin$(98.0\%)$]. It was observed that hetero atoms existed in organic compounds and chlorine was neutralized by sodium (salt formation). However, relatively large amount of sodium nitrate (4 equivalent) was required to raise the decomposition ratio. For complete oxidation of PCB was intended, the amount of oxidizer was an important parameter.

Objective: This study was perfomled to examine the therapeutic effect of aqua-acupuncture solution of Hominis Placenta(HP) on kidney and liver intoxicated by $HgCI_2$ in rats. Methods: $10\%$ and $25\%$ HP aqua-acupuncture were carried out everyday for 8 days on corresponding bilateral loci of Shinsu(BL23) and Kansu(BL18), respectively, after mercuric chloride intoxication in rats. Thereafter BUN, creatinine, GOT, GPT, ALP, ${\gamma}$-GT, albumin and total bilirubin were measured before intoxication, and at the 4th and the 8th experimental day. Histopathological and immunochemical observation were also carried out. Results: 1. It showed significant decreases of BUN in the group of $10\%$ HP aqua-acupuncture into Shinsu on the 4th experimental day as compared with the control group. 2. It showed significant decreases of creatinine in the group of $10\%$ HP aqua-acupuncture into Shinsu on the 4th and the 8th experimental days as compared with the control group. 3. There were not any significant changes of GOT, GPT, ALP,${\gamma}$-GT, albumin and total bilirubin in the HP aqua-acupuncture groups compared with the control group. 4. By the histopathological observations on kidney under a light microscope, alt the $10\%$ and $25\%$ HP aqua-acupuncture into Shinsu showed the preventive effect on tubulo-interstitial necrosis and muItifocal calcification in tubular lumen respectively compared with the control group. 5. By the histopathological observations on liver under a light mIcroscope, the groups $10\%$ and $25\%$ HP aqua--acupuncture into Kansu did not show any significant changes in the liver compared with the control group. 6. By the immunochemical analysis of heat shock protein(hsp) and glucose-regulated protein(grp) in rat renal cortex, the expressions of hsp70 and grp78 were decreased in the $10\%$ and $25\%$ HP aqua-acupuncture into Shinsu respectively compared with the control group. Conclusion: These results suggest that Hominis Placenta aqua-acupuncture have an effect on prevention and protection of renal intoxication by $HgCI_2$ in rats.

Counts of RBC and proportion of packed cell volume(PCV) showdc no difference among treatment groups. the values of hemoglobin in rat showed a tendeuy to increase in herbal-acupuncture group, however the values of hemoglobin in guineapig and rabbit showed no significant difference in the treatnent groups. the count of WBC showed high in the chishiI(BL52) herbal-acupuncture group. The proprtion of neutrophils showed no significant difference in rabbit, however the values in guinea-pig and rat showed a tendency to increased in herbal-acupuncture groups. The proportion of lymphocytes in rabbit and guinea-pig showed a tendency to decreast in herbal-acupuncture groups, however the values in rat showed no significant difference. The proportion of Eosinophils and monocytes showed no significant difference in all the treated groups. Results from this study indicated that shinsu(BL23) and chishil(BL52) herbal-acupuncture with palmijihwangtang elivate the biglogical function in Rabbit Guinea-pig and Rat.

Amun(GV15), Habkook(LI4) and Shinsu(B23) have been used as a meridian point for apoplexy, hypertention, vertigo etc. The effects of GV 15, LI4 and B23 on the vascular system is not known. The purpose of this Study was to investigate the effect of several meridian points on the regional cerebral bloof flow(rCBF), mean arterial blood pressure(BP) in rats. The changes of BP and rCBF were tested Laser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF). Results : The results of this Study were obtained as follows ; 1. GV15 and LI4 were increased significantly rCBF. 2. GV15, LI4 and B23 were increased BP, but have not significance. Conclusion : This results suggest that GV15 was increased rCBF by increasing pial arterial diameter, and LI4 was increased rCBF by increasing BP.

In order to study the effect of aqua-acupuncture with Cervi Cornu (C.C.) extract solution manufactured by water-alcohol method on the lipid metabolism and osteoporosis, C.C. aqua-acupuncture was carried out every two days for 60 days on the corresponding bilateral loci of Shinsu (BL23), Taejo (BL11), and Hyonjong (GB39) from the 10th day after the ovariectomy for induced osteoporosis and thereafter the level of serum triglyceride, LDL, Ca, phosphorus and osteocalcin, as well as urine hydroxyproline were measured in the ovariectomized rats. The rats being studied were divided into a normal group (sham operation group), a control group (ovariectomized group), and a C.C. aqua-acupuncture group (group with C.C. aqua-acupunctured to the points of Shinsu, Taejo, and Hyonjong every two days for 60 days from the 10th day after the ovariectomy). The following results were obtained: 1. The serum triglyceride indicated an inhibited increase with statistical significance in the C.C. aqua-acupuncture group compared with the control group. 2. The serum LDL indicated an inhibited increase without any statistical significance in the C.C. aqua-acupuncture group compared with the control group. 3. The serum Ca showed an inhibited decrease without any statistical significance in the C.C. aqua-acupuncture group compared with the control group. 4. The serum phosphorus showed an inhibited decrease with statistical significance in the C.C. aqua-acupuncture group compared with the control group. 5. The serum osteocalcin indicated an inhibited decrease without any statistical significance in the C.C. aqua-acupuncture group compared with the control group. 6. The urine hydroxyproline showed an inhibited increase with statistical significance in the C.C. aqua-acupuncture group compared with the control group.
