Purpose : The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of Ulmus(root-bark) dressing with vaseline gauze dressing on burn wound(third degree) in rats. Method : Ten male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in the study. The rats were anesthetized with Ketamine l00mg/kg. burn wounds were made for each animal by specially designed apparatus. Ulmus dressing was applied once a day for 4 weeks in the experimental group(n=5), vaseline gauze dressing in the control group(n=5). The wounds were photographed and excised. Result : After 10 days of dressing, size of burn wounds of Ulmus dressing group decreased significantly compared to that of vaseline gauze dressing group. After 10 days of dressing, degree of inflammatory infiltration was shown lower in Ulmus dressing than in vaseline gauze group. There was no significant difference after dressing at day of 19 and 27 in degree of inflammatory infiltration.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Ulmus root-bark dressing in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of induced pressure ulcers in rats. Methods: 54 male Sprague-Dawley rats were used and randomly divided into 2 groups. The rats were anesthetized and pressure ulcers were induced at 140 mmHg for three hours, using a personally-designed pressing apparatus. Ulmus dressing was applied in the experimental group (n=27) and saline gauze dressing in the control group (n=27). Each of the dressings was changed every other day, and after a month, the wounds were examined by microscopy biweekly for 20 weeks. Results: After 4 weeks, the epidermis of the wounds was recovered, but inflammatory infiltration of the dermis was remained. After 6 weeks, inflammatory cells were diminished and the number of capillaries was decreased. Examined by immunofluorescence staining, the FGF positive cells in the experimental group changed negatively after 18 weeks, but the control group still existed even after 20 weeks. VEGF positive cells in the experimental group also changed negatively after 20 weeks, but the control group still existed. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that Ulmus dressing is effective in minimizing scar formation and inflammatory reaction by decreasing FGF and VEGF in the terminal phase of wound healing.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the ulmus root-bark dressing on tissue regeneration in experimentally-induced pressure ulcers in rats. Method: A randomized pretest/post-test control group time-series study design was used. Thirty-three male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. The rats were anesthetized with 100mg/kg of ketamine. Pressure ulcers were induced at 140mmHg for three hours using a personally-designed pressing apparatus. For four weeks, the ulmus root-bark dressing was applied every other day in the experimental group (n=18) and a wet gauze dressing in the control group (n=15). For data analysis, the statistical program SPSS WIN 12 was used. The wounds were examined by light microscopy andelectron microscopy. Result: There were significant statistical differences in the size of the pressure ulcers as time went by(p=0.006). It should be noted that there were no significant statistical differences in the number of capillaries. Using light microscopy the inflammatory infiltration and neovascularization in the dermis in the experimental group emerged densely in the early stages, but recovered rapidly at the latter stages. In addition, the reepithelization of the epidermis occurred earlier than in the control group. By electron microscopy, the cell organelles of the capillary endothelial cells and the basal lamina of capillaries in the experimental group showed a more rapid maturation during the latter stages, compared with the control group. Conclusion: According to this study, it can be concluded that the ulmus root-bark dressing is effective regarding the healing of pressure ulcers.

이 연구는 지난 3년간 북경임업대학교와 공동연구과제로 중국의 사막화방지 및 방사기술개발을 위한 연구의 일환으로 사막화현황 및 녹화기술수준조사 및 평가를 위하여 수행되었으며, 특히 본고에서는 중국의 황막사지에 대한 녹화기술을 분석하고자 하였다. 사막화지역 식생분포의 일반적인 특징은 부분적으로 집중된 식생분포, 즉 사막의 저지대 또는 분지의 낮은 곳의 사구에 있는 사막식물, 염수호 주변의 내염성식물, 담수 염수호와 하천연안의 포플러 및 위성류의 군생, 사력퇴적지(고비)의 사퇴식생, 하천선상지의 초생지 및 오아시스(녹주(綠洲))숲 등이다. 일반적으로 사막화지역에는 중국식물명(中國植物名)으로 정류(檉柳)(홍류(紅柳))(Tamarix chinensis Lour.), 사사(梭梭)(Haloxylon ammodendron Bunge.), 사괴조(沙拐棗)(Calligonum Spp.), 호루(胡楊)(Populus euphratica Oliver.), 사조(沙棗)(Elaeagnus angustifolia L.), 유(楡)백유(白楡)(Ulmus pumila L.), 류류(柳類)(Salix spp.), 암황시(岩黃蓍)(Hedysarum spp.), 금계아(錦鷄兒)(Caragana spp.), 문관과(文冠果)(Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge.), 백자(白刺)(Nitraria tangutorum Bobr.), 호기자(胡技子)(Lespedeza bicolor), 낙타자(駱駝刺)(Alhagi sparsifolia Shap.), 자산감(刺山柑)(Capparis spinosa L.), 사호(沙蒿)(Artemisia arenaria DC.) 등이 널리 분포하며, 이와 같은 사막화지역 자생식물에 관한 연구가 더욱 필요한 상황에 있다. 풍식지역에서는 합리적인 경작체계(지역계획, 방풍림체계 및 오아시스보호체계, 관개수로네트워크설치, 광대한 농지관리기술 등), 식물자원의 합리적 이용기술(연료림, 약용식물, 방목, 초지관리 등), 수자원이용(유역계획 및 관리, 수로건설, 절수관개기법 등), 방풍림조성, 인구증가의 조절, 농용림 연료목 사료증산기술 등에 관해서, 그리고 수식지역에서는 합리적인 토지이용기술, 식생이용기술, 공학적기술, 농작물보호기술 개발 등에 관한 시험연구사업이 중점적으로 추진되고 있다. 또한, 사막화지역에서의 염성토양 알카리토양개량을 위한 수리적(관개, 배수, 세탈, 수도재배 등), 농업적(토지정리, 경작, 시비, 파종, 윤작, 혼작, 객토 등), 생물적(내염성 작물 및 녹비의 재배, 조림 등) 방법 등에 관한 시험연구도 활발하게 추진되고 있으며, 이와 같은 사막화지역의 녹화사업에 국제적인 협력을 절실하게 요망하고 있다.
