A rapid and sensitive method for the determination of glyphosate, a phosphated amino acid herbicide, in whole blood is presented. After removal of protein, the whale blood was purified by using the anion exchange resin (Dowex 1), and derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMCL). Derivatized glyphosate from blood sample was injected onto a Whatman partisil 10SAX column and separated with 0.1M phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) and acetonitrile (ratio=3:1). The high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection gave the detection limit of 86pg and linearity of 0.9999 in the range of 0.25 $\mu$g/ml and 25 $\mu$g/ml. The recoveries of glyphosate added to the blood samples were ranged from 75.3% to 100.4% compared to the samples prepared in water. The derivatized glyphosate was stable at various acidity and temperature. This method has been successfully applied to the blood samples of lethal intoxication with the herbicide glyphosate.

The hemopoietic effects of deer blood (whole blood, blood cell, plasma, respectively) were examined using in vivo rat model. Experimental animals (Sprague-Dawley rat, male, 200 g) were divided into negative control group (injection of saline), positive control group (injection of Sipjeondaebotang) experimental groups (injection of whole blood, blood cell, plasma) and healthy control group. Cyclophosphamide(150mg/kg) was injected into experimental groups, negative and positive control group to induce bone marrow supression. After 8 days, freez dried deer blood (whole blood, blood cell, plasma respectively) and Sipjeondaebotang of 200 mg/kg in dose was administered orally into experimental groups and positive control group, once a day for 3 days (A group) and once a day for 12 days (B group) respectively. And then body weight and organ weight, biochemical profile (ALB, GOT, GPT, PRO, CRE), hematological values (WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PLT) and CBC differentiation (Neutro, Lymph, Mono, Reticulo) were carried out. Finally, platelets were specially increased in the plasma treated A group and reticulocytes were specially increased in the plasma treated B group.

In order to investigate the effect of Qingbaozhuyutang(淸胞逐瘀湯), Bee Veenom on 'Blood Stasis Pattern', here We regard Thrombosis and Elevated Blood viscosity as Blood Stasis Pattern. rats were injected Endotoxin into the caudal vein to make experimental thrombosis model(control group), and at sample group, rats were orally administrated solid extract of Qingbaozhuyutang(淸胞逐瘀湯) 0.5g/200g or were injected Apitoxin 1mg/Kg into the abdominal region(sample group), and then we observed platelet, fibrinogen, prothrombin time and FDP level. Another group were injected HA into the muscular rump to make experimental elevated blood viscosity instead of Endotoxin. Thereafter we measured whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity. The results were summarized as follows. 1. Platelets were increased significantly in sample I compared with the control group. 2. Fibrinogen levels were increased significantly in sample I compared with the control group. 3. Prothrombin times were shortened significantly in sample II and sample III compared with the control group. 4. FDP levels were decreased significantly in sample II and sample III compared with the control group. 5. Whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were decreased significantly in all shear rates compared with the control group. According to the above results, it is considered that Qingbaozhuyutang(淸胞逐瘀湯) has significant effects on platelets, fibrinogens, prothrombin times, FDP levels, whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosities, therefore it seems to be applicable to disease related to 'Blood Stasis Pattern' through the thrombosis and elevated blood viscosity. But, Veenom has a little effect. the mechanism concerned for the effects is to be investigated in future.

The present experiments were designed to investigate the effects of BangPoongSan on the cardiovascular system in the experimental Animals. And thus the change of blood pressure, auricular blood flow, artery contraction, death rate, platelet aggregation repression, plasma coagulation factor activity, plasma antithrombin activity, whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were studied. The result were summarized as the followings: 1. BangPoongSan dropped the blood pressure in the spontaneous hypertensive rat. 2. The drug increased the auricular blood flow in rabbit. 3. The drug relaxed the artery contraction by pretreated norepinephrine in white rat. 4. The drug inhibited the death rate of mouse which was led to thromboembolism by serotonin and collagen. 5. The drug inhibited the platelet aggregation in rat. 6. The drug prolonged the prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time on the test of plasma coagulation factor activity in rat, but was not valuable. 7. The drug presented the antithrombin activity in rat. 8. The drug reduced the whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity in rat, but the latter was not valuable. According to the results, Bangpoongsan increased the blood flow and dropped the blood pressure by dilatation of blood vessel smooth muscle. And the drug presented the antithrombin acivity, inhibited the platelet aggregation and reduced blood viscosity. Therefore these effects are assumed to improve the cardiovascular circulation disorder and prevent thrombosis.

This study was designed to provide the base of nursing intervention that could help apheresis blood-donors to promote self-efficacy effectively by analyzing critical factors that influence on this. The subjects recruited for the research were 468 persons who participated in platelet donation at a university hospital apheresis unit in Seoul. The data for this study were collected between May and June, 2002 using questionnaires. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, and stepwise multiple regression. The results were as follows. 1. The mean self-efficacy score on the questions related to blood donation was $32.9\pm5.1$, indicating that blood donors have above the mean level of self-efficacy related to blood donation. 2. The self-efficacy score was significantly higher for the group of persons who have more than 5 times of experiences in blood donation than others who have only one experience. 3. The critical factors that influence self-efficacy related to donation were the marital status, educational level. and previous experiences of whole blood donation, while the critical factor that influence on general self-efficacy was previous experiences of whole blood donation. Therefore, it is necessary to establish more effective and organized nursing intervention strategies that can promote the self-efficacy of apheresis blood-donors.

This study aimed to analyze a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation using a pentafluorophenyl column of parent drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and its active metabolite, desethylhydroxchloroquine (DHCQ) applying to determine bioequivalence of two different formulations administered to patients. A rapid, simple, sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method has been developed and validated for bioanalysis of HCQ and its metabolite DHCQ in human whole blood using deuterium derivative $hydroxychloroquine-D_4$ as an internal standard (IS). A triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer was operated using electrospray ionization in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Sample preparation involves a two-step precipitation of protein techniques. The removed protein blood samples were chromatographed on a pentafluorophenyl (PFP) column ($50mm{\times}4.6mm$, $2.6{\mu}m$) with a mobile phase (ammonium formate solution containing dilute formic acid) in an isocratic mode at a flow rate of 0.45 mL/min. The standard curves were found to be linear in the range of 2 - 500 ng/mL for HCQ; 2 - 2,000 ng/mL for DHCQ in spite of lacking a highly sensitive MS spectrometry system. Results of intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were within acceptable limits. A run time of 2.2 min for HCQ and 2.03 min for DHCQ in blood sample facilitated the analysis of more than 300 human whole blood samples per day. Taken together, we concluded that the assay developed herein represents a highly qualified technology for the quantification of HCQ in human whole blood for a parallel design bioequivalence study in a healthy male.

Background: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are commonly used to assess in vitro immune responses. However, PBMC isolation is a time-consuming procedure, introduces technical variability, and requires a relatively large volume of blood. By contrast, whole blood assay (WBA) is faster, cheaper, maintains more physiological conditions, and requires less sample volume, laboratory training, and equipment. Objectives: Herein, this study aimed to develop a porcine WBA for in vitro evaluation of immune responses. Methods: Heparinized whole blood (WB) was diluted (non-diluted, 1/2, 1/8, and 1/16) in RPMI-1640 media, followed by phorbol myristate acetate and ionomycin. After 24 h, cells were stained for interferon (IFN)-γ secreting T-cells followed by flow cytometry, and the supernatant was analyzed for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. In addition, diluted WB was stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), reference strain KCTC3557 (RS), field isolate (FI), of heat-killed (HK) Streptococcus suis, and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Results: The frequency of IFN-γ⁺CD3⁺ T-cells and concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant of WB increased with increasing dilution factor and were optimal at 1/8. WB TNF-α and interleukin (IL)-10 cytokine levels increased significantly following stimulation with LPS or poly I:C. Further, FI and RS induced IL-10 production in WB. Additionally, PRRSV strains increased the frequency of IFN-γ⁺ CD4^-CD8⁺ cells, and IFN-γ was non-significantly induced in the supernatant of re-stimulated samples. Conclusions: We propose that the WBA is a rapid, reliable, and simple method to evaluate immune responses and WB should be diluted to trigger immune cells.

Many types of chemical data tend to be characterized by many measured variables on each of a few observations. In this situation, target concentration can be predicted using multivariate statistical modeling. However, it is necessary to use a few variables considering size and cost of instrumentation, for an example, for development of a portable biomedical instrument. This study presents, with a spectral data set of total hemoglobin in whole blood, the possibility that modeling using only a few variables can improve predictability compared to modeling using all of the variables. Predictability from the model using three wavelengths selected from all possible regression method was improved, compared to the model using whole spectra (whole spectra: SEP = 0.4 g/dL, 3-wavelengths: SEP=0.3 g/dL). It appears that the proper selection of variables can be more effective than using whole spectra for determining the hemoglobin concentration in whole blood.

The role of ascorbate as an antioxidant in the prevention and cure of disease that result from free radicals has been of considerable interest and controversy lately. As an antioxidant, we can expect it to protect against radiation damage caused by free radicals that are produced when radiation, especially sparsely ionizing radiation, interacts with living tissues. The plasma and whole blood concentration of ascorbate was analyzed before and just after the radiation therapy for the purpose of estimating the consumption amount of ascorbate during radiotherapy. Whole blood ascorbate was decreased from 1.82 mg/dl to 1.58 mg/dl, plasma ascorbate was decreased from 1.13 mg/dl to 1.08 mg/dl, and urine ascorbate was decreased from 9.33 mg/dl to 6.96 mg/dl after radiotherapy. Although the difference was not significant statistically, further human study should be followed to define the role of ascorbate as a radioprotector.

To evaluate anti-aggregatory activity of traditional prescriptions and medicines for treatment of Ohyul symptom, 70% methanol extracts were examined using collagen stimulated in vitro platelet aggregation by impedance method in rat whole blood. The crude extracts from DoHaekSeungKiTang, BoYangHwanOhTang, Caesalpinia sappan, Rhus verniciflua, Rheum palmatum, Polygonum cuspidatum, Salvia miltiorrhiza were found to inhibit platelet aggregation. The effective crude extracts of traditional medicine were fractionated to dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol and aqueous layer. Polygonum cuspidatum, Caesalpinia sappan aud Rhus verniciflua ethyl acetate fractions concentration-dependently $(250-50{\mu}m/ml)$ inhibited the aggregation of platelet in whole blood induced by collagen. These results suggested that ethyl acetate fractions of Polygonum cuspidatum, Caesalpinia sappan and Rhus verniciflua have potent anti-aggregatory activity.
