The mineral medicines mean a sort of mineral or rock for medical treatment and natural material using their chemical components and physical properties. In this study, it was apprehended the mineralogical characteristics of As-bearing group mineral medicines. The extraction test is an vitro test system for predicting the bioavailability of the major and minor elements from mineral medicines and incorporates gastrointestinal tract parameters representative of a human(including stomach and small intestinal pH, stomach mixing time and velocity). The results of the extraction test are used for reaction path modeling in human body. Reaction path modeling in human body can predict digestion with gastric juice as well as bioavailability, speciation. Also, it can predict accumulation of arsenic as pH condition. As the results of the extraction test for digestion, the amounts of Fe extraction was the highest, followed by As, Ca, Ni. In addition, as the results of the reaction path modeling between arsenic compounds and gastric juice using thermodynamic data, when absorbed, major species are followed by H₃As₃S/sub 6/(aq), As₃S/sub 6/ (aq), AsO/sup +/, H₂As₃S/sup 6-/, H₂AsO/sup 3-/, HAs₃S6/sup 2-/, HAsO/sub 3//sup 2-/ and AsO/sub 3//sup 3-/. Specifically the concentration of H₃As₃S/sub 6/(aq) is the highest. As pH increases, the concentration of H₂AsO/sup 3-/, HAsO/sub 3//sup 2-/, HAsO/sub 3//sup 3-/, HAs₃S/sub 6//sup 2-/, H₂As₃S/sup 6-/, and H₃As₃S/sub 6/ increases, whereas the concentration of H₃As₃S/sub 6/ and AsO/sup +/ decreases. On the results of this study, it is able to find out effective and toxic components of poisonous arsenic group of mineral medicines and expected to be widely used for the development of new medicines.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of rice bran dietary fiber powder on serum lipid levels, bowel function, and mineral absorption in rats. Four weeks old male Sprague Dawley rats(SD rat) were divided into four groups : control group fed 5% cellulose as a fiber source, RB10 fed 5% of cellulose and 10% of rice bran dietary fiber powder, RB20 and RB30. The animals were fed the experimental diets for 4 weeks. Serum lipid levels were not significantly different among the groups. But, fecal total cholesterol(TC), triglycerides(TG), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-c) excretion increased in the RB30 group. Fecal weight and fecal water content were higher in the rice bran added groups than those in the control group. Transit time was significantly shorter in the rice bran fiber-added groups than that in the control. Weight of the stomach and large intestine in the RB20 and RB30 groups were significantly greater than those in the other groups. Absorption rates of Ca, Mg, P, and Zn decreased significantly in the RB30 group compared to those in the other groups. A high amount of rice bran increased fecal lipids, including TC, TG and HDL-c. Rice bran increased fecal weight and fecal water content and shortened gastrointestinal transit time. However, a high level of rice bran diet decreased mineral absorption rates.

Twenty-three crossbred (Yorkshire $\times$ Duroc $\times$ Hampshire $\times$ Chester White) primiparous sows were used to evaluate the effects of the mineral-salt laxative in lactation diets on sow and litter performance. The sows were fed a sorghum-extruded soybean-based diet with .85% lysine, .90% Ca, .80% P, and 3.2 Mcal ME/kg. Sow body weight (p > .54) and backfat loss (p > .61), average daily feed intake (p > .42), and litter weight gain (p > .74) were not affected by the mineral-salt laxative in the diet. However, survivability of piglets was greater (p < .06) for sows with the mineral-salt laxative in their diet and, thus, number of pigs weaned was increased. As expected, fecal moisture was increased (p < .09) in sows fed the mineral-salt laxative. Apparent digestibilities of DM, N, and GE were not affected by treatment (p > .26). After weaning, stomachs were collected and scored for ulcers and keratinization using a scoring system of 0 = normal to 3 = severe. Severity of ulceration and keratinization was not significantly affected by treatment (row mean scores differ test p > .25), but scores for sows fed the diet containing the mineral-salt laxative were numerically lower than sows fed the control diet. Thus, our data indicate that sows fed the mineral-salt laxative during lactation had improved piglet survivability, greater fecal moisture, and tended to have fewer lesions in the mucosa of the stomach.

Lansoprazole, pharmaceutics for acid-related diseases, is unstable in low pH environments and generally coated with enteric polymer to obtain gastroresistance in stomach. Because its storage stability is influenced by acidic substitutes of enteric polymer, alkaline chemicals wεre generally addεd to dosage form as a stabilizer. In this experience, we coated lansoprazole bead with sodium alginate and evaluated the effect of bead size and sodium alginate coating on the storage stability and dissolution profile of lansoprazole. Sodium alginate solution containing lansoprazole was sprayed as a droplet into 3% (w/v) $CaCl_2$ solution and the resultant bead was coated with starch, sodium alginate, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate. The content of lansoprazole granule not coated with sodium alginate decreased to 57.96% of initial content when stored at a severe condition for 4 weeks, but that of lansoprazole granule coated with sodium alginate before enteric coating decreased little and as the thickness of sodium alginate film increased, the content of bead didn't decreased for 4 weeks. Sodium alginate film also improved the gastroresistance without much influencing the maximum dissolution rate.

Objectives: Hwangryunhaedok-tang (Huang-lian-jie-du-tang, HRHDT, 黃連解毒湯) is a traditional Korean herbal medicine that is formulated with Coptidis Rhizoma, Phellodendri Cortex, Scutellariae Radix and Gardeniae Fructus. HRHDT is cold (寒) and bitter (苦) in nature and has general properties of clearing heat and detoxifying (淸熱解毒), strengthening the stomach and settling the liver (健胃平肝), and reducing inflammation, fever and swelling. This formula can prevent and treat artherosclerosis, hyperplasia of the endothelium, cerebral fluid circulation, cerebral vascular deterioration through aging, impairment of neurotransmitters, or disruption of the functioning of the cerebral cortex following infection or trauma. The purpose of the study reported here was to determine the neuroprotective effect of HRHDT on global ischemia induced by 4-vessel occlusion in Wistar rats. Methods: HRHDT extract was lyophilized after extraction with 85% methanol and 100% water. Rats were induced to 10 minutes of forebrain ischemia by 4-vessel occlusion (4-VO) and reperfused again. HRHDT was administered with a dose of 100 mg/kg, and 500 mg/kg of 85% methanol extracts and 100 mg/kg of 100% water extracts, respectively, at 0 min and 90 min after 4-VO. Rats were killed at 7 days after ischemia and the number of CA1 pyramidal neurons was counted in hippocampal sections stained with cresyl violet. Results: Body temperature of animals showed no significant difference between saline-treated groups and HRHDT extracts-treated groups until 5 hours of reperfusion. This result indicated that neuroprotective effects of HRHDT extracts were not due to hypothermic effects. The administration of HRHDT showed a significant neuroprotective effect on hippocampal CA1 neurons at 7 days after ischemia compared to the saline-treated group (P<0.001). HRHDT methanol extracts of 100 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg and HRHDT water extracts of 100 mg/kg showed 88.5%, 98.3% and 95.1 % neuroprotection, respectively. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate that administration of HRHDT is highly effective in reducing neuronal damage in response to transient global cerebral ischemia. HRHDT may involve many mechanisms that might account for its high degree of efficacy. A number of factors including free radicals, glutamate, calcium overload, NO, and various cytokines have been proposed to have an important role in causing neuronal death after short periods of global ischemia. Further studies are needed to know the neuroprotective mechanisms of HRHDT.

목적 : 국소적으로 진행된 위암치료는 수술이 주 치료로 5년 생존율은 그리높지 않아 좀더 완치율을 높이기 위하여 화학요법이나 화학요법과 병용하여 방사선치료 등이 시행되고 있다 저자들은 위암환자에서 수술후 방사선치료를 받은 환자의 치료성적을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 방법 : 1985년 3월부터 1993년 6월까지 한양대학병원 치료방사선과에서 위절제수술후 방사선 치료를 3500cGy 이상 받고 병기 3및 4기인 68명을 대상으로 후향적인 분석을 하였다. 연령분포는 28세부터 66세였고 중앙연령은 50세였다. 추적기간은 3개월에서 133개월(3명이 36개월 미만)로 중앙값은 50개월이었다. 조직병리상 37명이 non signet ring adenocarclnoma였고 29명이 signet ring cell이었다. 병기로 IIIA가 19명, IIIB가 25명, IV가 24명이었다. 항암화학요법은 65명의 환자에게 투여되었으며 FAM계통의 치료가 28예 cispiatln, 5FU계통이 26예이었다. 결과 : 5년생존율은 36.6% 5년무병생존율은 33.6%였다. 예후인자로 병소침입 임파선개수, 조직세포 종류 등이 생존율에 통계적으로 유의하게 영향을 주었고 잔존세포의 유무, 병기, 나이, 세포분화도 및, 방사선치료 총 기간 등도 생존율에 영향을 주었으나 통계적인 유의성은 없었고 항암화학제의 종류에따른 생존율의 차이는 없었다. 37명환자에서 재발이 있었고 위치로는 장망(omentum) 및 복막에 23.5%로 가장 재발율이 놀았으며 남은 위나 봉합부위에 13.2%의 재발율을 보였다. 전체 국소재발은 20.7% 전체 원격전이는 39.7%였다. 방사선치료로 인한 부작용은 22.1%에서 grade 3의 백혈구감소가 있었고 1.5%에서 grade 4 부작용이 있었다. 치료중 10% 이상의 체중감소는 8.8%였다. 결론 : 본 연구결과 수술후 화학요법과 방사선치료요법은 큰 부작용이 없었으며 실패양상은 주로 장망 및 복막이었고 치료부위내 국소재발율이 다음으로 많았다. 국소재발은 원격전이에 비해 많이 낮아지는 추세를 보였다 방사선역할에 평가를 조금 더 명확하게 규명하기위해 향후 재발 위험이 큰 환자에서 수술후 화학요법만 한 군과 화학요법 및 방사선치료를 병용한 군과의 재발 양상 및 생존율 등의 전향적 비교 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되며 더 나아가 수술후 항암화학요법 및 방사선 병용요법에 복강내 약물치료도 고려되어야 하겠다.

현재 상용화되어 있는 양성자치료의 치료계획장비를 이용하여 방사선회전조사와 같은 치료계획을 양성자치료에 사용하여 대동맥 주위 림프절 종양에 대해 양성자회전치료와 양성자치료, 세기조절방사선치료를 이용하여 선량 평가를 하였다. 대동맥주위 림프절 종양 환자 9명을 대상으로 양성자회전치료, 양성자치료, 세기조절방사선치료의 방사선치료계획을 세워 각각의 선량 체적 히스토그램을 이용하여 선량 평가를 하였다. 양성자회전치료의 치료계획방법으로는 250~120까지 5도 간격으로 48개의 빔을 사용하였으며, 양성자치료와 세기조절방사선치료는 각각 2~3, 4~5개의 빔을 사용하였다. 모든 방사선 치료계획 시스템은 Eclipse planning system(Varian Medical system, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA)을 사용하였으며, 양성자회전치료는 아직 개발이 안된 치료장치이므로 치료계획방법에서 기계적, 물리적인 요소를 양성자치료계획과 동일하게 시행하였다. 선량분석방법으로는 정상장기(간, 신장, 소장, 위, 십이지장)와 종양의 선량 체적 히스토그램(dose-volume histogram: DVH)을 이용하여 생물학적 인자인 normal tissue complication probabilities(NTCP), organ equivalent dose(OED)와 mean dose를 각각의 치료계획방법을 비교 분석 평가하였다. 그 결과 양성자회전치료가 복부에 위치한 small bowel, duodenum, stomach의 볼륨 90%가 받는 선량에서의 결과는 다른 치료계획에 비해 높은 결과를 나타내고 있다. NTCP의 결과에서 양성자회전치료가 liver를 제외한 나머지 장기에서 가장 낮은 결과를 보여주고 있다. 하지만 복부에 위치한 정상장기에 받는 선량이 다른 치료계획에 비해 높아 치료계획 시 주위가 요하며, 물리적, 기계적인 요소는 양성자치료와 동일하다는 전제조건으로 양성자회전치료와 유사한 장비가 제작되어 상용화 되었을 때에 본 연구의 결과와는 다를 거라 사료된다. 현실적으로 아직 불가능한 치료방법이지만 앞으로 추가적인 양성자회전치료의 연구와 기술개발이 되어 상용화가 되면 기존의 특수방사선치료인 세기조절방사선치료, 양성자치료, 세기조절회전치료보다 효과적이고 안전한 치료방법이 될 거라고 사료된다.

This study was undertaken to investigate an involvement of nitroxergic innervation in gastric smooth muscle of rat. Isometric tension study, the measurement of single cell length, NADPH diaphorase stain of smooth muscle layers and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) western blotting were performed. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a nitric oxide donor, relaxed the muscle strips precontracted by acetylcholine (ACh) in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment of L-arginine decreased the contraction induced by electric field stimulation (EFS). Pretreatment of $N^G-nitro-L-arginine$ methyl ester (L-NAME), a NOS inhibitor, increased the EFS-induced contractions. LY 83583, a guanylate cyclase (GC) inhibitor, reversed the inhibitory actions of L-arginine on the muscle contractions. The effects of L-Arginine, L-NAME and LY 83583 on ACh-induced contractions were not significant. L-arginine reduced the EFS-induced contraction in circular muscle, whereas L-NAME enhanced the EFS-induced contraction in longitudinal strips. By EFS, the phasic contractions appeared approximately $20{\sim}25$ seconds later. L-NAME significantly shortened the delay time to about $2{\sim}3$ seconds. In single cell study, ACh contracted gastric smooth muscle cells, SNP relaxed the cells, and the latter also inhibited the ACh-induced contraction. LY 83583 enhanced the ACh-induced contraction and antagonized SNP-induced relaxation. NADPH diaphorase activity was assessed by a histochemistry, nitroblue tetrazolium (NTB) staining. Positive staining was observed in both circular and longitudinal muscle layers. L-arginine increased the staining, while L-NAME decreased the staining. Western blotting for nNOS proved the presence of nNOS in rat gastric smooth muscle. EFS and additional $Ca^{2+}$ increased nNOS protein expression. These results suggest that in rat stomach, both circular and longitudinal muscle layers are innervated with nitroxergic nerves which relax the gastric smooth muscle via NO-cGMP pathway.
