The larynx has three major functions such as protective reflex, respiration and phonation, and is richly innervated by sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. The sensory innervation of the laryngeal mucosa, which is involved in the perception of pain, mechanical and chemical irritation, prtects the airway via various laryngeal reflexes. We studied the distribution of Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) sensory fibers in the rat's larynx using the immuno-histochemical methods. Many SP and CGRP immunoreactive fibers were found in all regions of the laryngeal mucosa except the vocal cords. SP immunoreactive fibers showed a very similar distribution to the CGRP fibers in the epithelium and submucosa. But SP immunoreactive fibers were sparser than CGRP immunoreactive fibers in distribution density. Both reactive fibers were denser in the supraglottic region than subglottic region. Especially, intraepithelial fibers displayed the densest innervation to the laryngeal surface of the epiglottis. h the subepithelium, SP and CGRP immunoreactive fibers were distributed along the wall of vessels and around the glands. The present results suggest that the regional distribution of SP and CGRP immunoreactivity may be responsible for the protective reflex function of the laryngeal inlet.

본 연구는 치수 염증 시 IL-8과 MCP-1 분비에서 neuropeptide의 역할에 대해 관찰하고자 발거된 건전한 치아를 수직 파절시켜 치수조직을 채취하여 배양된 치수세포 및 혈관내피세포(ECV 304세포)를 각기 다른 농도의 Substance P(SP)로 12시간 자극하였고, 24시간 동안 4시간 간격으로 시간대별로 자극하였으며, 또 치수세포를 Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)로 12시간 자극하였다. 이들 세포를 SP길항제 (Spantide)로 15분간 차단한 후 SP로 12시간 재 자극하였으며, SP와 CGRP혼합액을 12시간 자극하였다. 상기의 실험 후 부유물로 ELISA를 시행하여 IL-8과 MCP-1의 분비 량을 측정하였다. 치수세포는 SP로 자극 시 IL-8이 현저히 증가한 반면, CGRP는 효과가 없었으며, SP와 CGRP를 혼합자극 시 시너지 효과 또한 없었고, Spantide는 치수세포의 IL-8과 MCP-1의 분비를 차단시켰다. 치수세포를 SP로 24시간 동안 4시간 간격으로 자극 시 8시간 후 최대의 IL-8은 분비량 나타내었으며, 8시간과 12시간 사이에서 최대의 MCP-1 분비량을 나타내었다. ECV 304세포를 SP로 자극 시 IL-8과 MCP-1 분비량이 미약하게 증가하였으며, Spantide는 ECV 304세포의 IL-8과 MCP-1 분비를 억제시켰다.

bombesin의 생물학적 활성중 하나는 위장관의 평활근을 수축시키는 작용이다. 그러므로, 본 실험에서는 bombesin이 위장관의 운동성과 관계가 깊은 평활근의 전기적 활동에 미치는 영향과 신경기전을 밝히고자 하였다. 고양이 60마리로부터 urethane마취하에 위를 적출한 다음 대만 쪽에서 체부와 유문부가 포함된 평활근 절편을 얻었으며 또한 체부에서 윤상근 절편을 얻었다. 평활근 절편을 Krebs-Ringer 용액으로 채워진 기록용기에 넣고 Ag-AgCl전극을 사용하여 체부와 유문부에서 서파를 기록하는 한편 윤상근 절편의 자발적 수축을 기록하였다. 기록용기 속의 용액에는 5% $Co_{2}$를 내포한 $O_{2}$를 계속 공급하였으며, 용액의 온도는 $36^{\circ}C$가 유지되도록 하였다. 기록용기 속에서 1시간 동안 안정시킨 다음 서파빈도와 수축빈도가 일정하여지면 bombesin과 그 유도체, substance P와 그 유도체 그리고 몇가지 종류의 신경차단제를 각각 투여하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) bombesin은 $10^{-9}\;M$에서부터 $3\;{\times}\;10^{-8}\;M$ 사이의 농도에서 서파빈도와 수축빈도를 농도-의존적으로 증가시켰다. 2) bombesin 유도체인 $D-leu^{13}-{\psi}\;(CH_{2}NH)-D-leu^{14}-bombesin$은 서파빈도를 증가시키는 bombesin의 작용을 억제하였다. 3) 서파빈도를 증가시키는 bombesin의 작용에 대하여 tetrodotoxin과 hexamethonium은 억제적으로 작용하였으나 atropine, phentolamine 그리고 propranolol은 이렇다할 영향을 비치지 않았다. 4) 서파빈도를 증가시키는 bombesin의 작용에 대하여 substance P 유도체인 $D-pro^{2}-D-trp^{7,9}-substance\;P$는 억제적으로 작용하였다. 5) sunstance P 자체는 서파빈도에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 보아 (1) bombesin은 적출한 고양이 위 평활근의 서파빈도와 체부 윤상근의 수축빈도를 증가시키며, (2) bombesin은 신경-근 연접에서 acetylcholine이나 noradrenalin을 신경전달물질로 사용하지 않는 내원성 신경을 거쳐 서파빈도를 증가시키는 것으로 생각된다. (3) 그러나, bombesin이 서파의 발생빈도를 증가시키는 과정에 substance P를 신경전달물질로 사용하는 신경이 개재하는 것 같지는 않았다.

Lactic acid bacteria in Kimchi fermentation were tested for inhibitory activity against Gram positive bacteria and Gram negative bacteria. The Lactobacillus brevis (KCCM 35464) was found to produce a antimicrobial substance. It showed relatively wide range of inhibition spectrum against gram positive and gram negative bacteria and maintained the inhibitory activity between pH 4.0 and pH 9.0. The antimicrobial substance was obtained in the stationary growth phase and was purified by gel chromatography. The inhibitory effect of the antimicrobial substance on sensitive bacterial strains was determined by filter paper test. The activity of antimicrobial substa- nce was stable at 75$\circ$C. On the basis of its electrophoretic pattern is SDS-PAGE, antimicrobial substance appeared as a single band of 59 KDalton.

Substance P can stimulate secretion of tumor necrosis $factor-\;{\alpha}\;(TNF-\;{\alpha}\;)$ from astrocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Here I report that Chilbogeum can modulate cytokines secretion from primary cultures of rat astrocytes. Chilbogeum $(10\;{\mu}g/ml)$ significantly inhibited the $TNF-\;{\alpha}$ secretion by astrocytes stimulated with LPS and Substance P. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) has been shown to elevate $TNF-\;{\alpha}$ secretion from LPS-stimulated astrocytes while having no effect on astrocytes in the absence of LPS. Treatment of Chilbogeum $(10,\;100\;{\mu}g/ml)$ to astrocytes stimulated with both LPS and Substance P decreased IL-1 secretion significantly. The secretion of $TNF-\;{\alpha}$ by LPS and Substance P in astrocytes was progressively inhibited with increasing amount of IL-1 neutralizing antibody. Upon stimulation from various agents, these cells adopt a reactive phenotype, a morphological hallmark in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, during which they themselves may produce still more inflammatory cytokines. Chilbogeum $(10,\;100\;{\mu}g/ml)$ significantly inhibited the $TNF-\;{\alpha}$ secretion by CCF-STTG1 astrocytoma cells stimulated with $A\;{\beta}$ and IL-1. These results suggest that Chilbogeum may inhibit $TNF-\;{\alpha}$ secretion by inhibiting IL-1 secretion and that Chilbogeum has an antiinflammatory activity in AD brain.

Background: Though a number of studies have described the distribution of substance P(SP)-like immunoreactivity in the spinal cord, they have been focused on lamina I and II of the dorsal horn and there are little morphological studies on the topographic distribution and ultrastructure of the SP immunoreactive neurons especially in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. this study was conducted to identify distribution pattern of SP immunoreactive neurons and to difine the synaptic organization of their processes in ventral horn of the thoracic cord of the cat by preembbeding immunocytochemical method using SP antiserum. Methods: Five adults cats of either sex were used and deeply anesthetized by intramuscular injection of ketamine. After removal of the spinal cord, samples of thoracic cord were taken and placed in fresh fixative at $4^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Transverse sections $50{\mu}m$ thick were processed using the preembbeding immunocytochemical method and incubated consecutively in the specific primary antibody and the 10% normal goat serum, the rabbit anti-substance P antiserum, the biotin-labelled goat anti-rabbit IgG and finally the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex. The processed tissue sections were throughly washed and stained in the black with 1% uranyl acetate. Section were examined on a electron microscope. Results: 1) SP immunoreactive neurons were observed in the gray matter around central canal. 2) In lamina I and II SP immunoreactivity was observed in both myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers, but in ventral horn only in the unmyelinated nerve fibers. 3) SP immunoreactive axon terminals with small round and large dense core vesicles made chemical synapses onto the dendrites of motor neurons in the ventral horn. Conclusion: SP immunoreactive neurons might play an important role in modulation of motor neurons in the ventral horn of the thoracic cord of the cat.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of low power laser irradiation on Substance P(SP) expression in the burned skin of the rats. Burns of about 3cm in diameter were created with $75^{\cric}C$ water on the back of the rats, and the lesion of experimental group were irradiated on days 1, 2, 3 and 4 postwounding. Control leasions were not irradiated. After burns, low power laser irradiation was applied by using 1000Hz, 830nm GaAlAs(Gallium-aluminum-arsenide) semiconductor diode laser. The expression of evaluated Substance P(SP) immunohistochemistry on rabbit anti-SP The results of this study wereas follows 1. The Substance P was expressed in the lamina I and II of dorsal horn of spinal cord. In expression of SP, the lesion of control group made SP to more induce significantly than experimental leasions. 2. SP immunoreactivity in burned leasion of spinal cord were decreased markedly 4 days after burns, and decreased gradually from 1 day to 2 days in burns which is laser irradiation These data suggest that low power laser have a pain release effect in the burned skin of the rats.

This study was performed, using c-fos and Substance P, to investigate the effect of GaAlAs laser on acute pain model induced by wound in lumbar region's spinal level. The test group was divided into control and experimental group. Control group is shamed group(c-fos and substance P expression after non-irradiation by a GaAlAs laser), The experimental group was divided into two subgroups: one is experimental group I (c-fos expression after irradiation by a GaAlAs laser), and the other is experimental group II (substance P expression after irradiation by a GaAlAs laser). The results of this study were as following: 1. The numbers of c-fos immunoreactive neuron in spinal cord was increased markedly 1 day after wound, and decreased gradually from 1 day to 2 days in wound with GaAlAs laser irradiation. 2. The changes of the average percentages of substance P immunoreactive neurons in spinal cord was increased markedly 1 day after wound, and decreased gradually from 1 day to 2 days in wound with GaAlAs laser irradiation. Therefore, decreasing the changes of c-fos and substance P expression after irradiation by a GaAlAs laser indicates and GaAlAs laser have effect on pain control.

This study aimed to investigate the analgesic effect of substance P (SP) in an animal model of neuropathic pain. An experimental model of neuropathic pain, the chronic constriction injury (CCI) model, was established using ICR mice. An intravenous (i.v.) injection of SP (1 nmole/kg) was administered to the mice to examine the analgesic effects of systemic SP on neuropathic pain. Behavioral testing and immunostaining was performed following treatment of the CCI model with SP. SP attenuated mechanical allodynia in a time-dependent manner, beginning at 1 h following administration, peaking at 1 day post-injection, and decaying by 3 days post-injection. The second injection of SP also increased the threshold of mechanical allodynia, with the effects peaking on day 1 and decaying by day 3. A reduction in phospho-ERK and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) accompanied the attenuation of mechanical allodynia. We have shown for the first time that i.v. administration of substance P attenuated mechanical allodynia in the maintenance phase of neuropathic pain using von Frey's test, and simultaneously reduced levels of phospho-ERK and GFAP, which are representative biochemical markers of neuropathic pain. Importantly, glial cells in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord (L4-L5) of SP-treated CCI mice, expressed the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10, which was not seen in vehicle saline-treated mice. Thus, i.v. administration of substance P may be beneficial for improving the treatment of patients with neuropathic pain, since it decreases the activity of nociceptive factors and increases the expression of anti-nociceptive factors.
