NMR-based metabolomics needs various knowledge to elucidate metabolic perturbation such as NMR experiments, NMR spectrum processing, raw data processing, metabolite identification, statistical analysis, and metabolic pathway analysis regarding technical aspects. Among them, some concepts of raw data processing and multivariate analysis are not easy to understand but are important to correctly interpret metabolic profile. This article introduces NMR spectrum processing, raw data processing, and multivariate analysis.

An $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitor, CK-4416, was identified from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. CK-4416. CK-4416, which had some specificity against intestinal disaccharidases, especially sucrase and matlase activities, was purified by adsorption and cationic ion exchange chromatographies. The molecular formula was determined to be $C_{37}H_{63}NO_{30}$ (MW 1001.31) by FAB-MS and NMR analyses. In vitro studies found CK-4416 to show a potent inhibitory activity against sucrase and maltase, but it had low inhibition against $\alpha$-amylase.

The agar diffustion method using Escherichia coli was investigated for determination of Vitamin $B_{l2}$ instead of turbidimetric method using Lactobacillus leichannii (USP XXII method). The turbidimetric method is difficult to control the test organism and it has complicated procedure. From this study, it was found that the agar diffusion method on the determination of Vitamin $B_{12}$ in pharamaceutical preparation is simple and convenient as compared with turbidimetric method. Also we found that the coefficient of variation in reproducibility and the standard error in recovery were 2.18% and 1.83%, respectively.

To estimate the effect of some injectable antibiotics (ampicillin sodium, cefazolin sodium, cephaloridine, cefuroxime sodium and chloramphenicol sodium succinate) on pyrogen tests, the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) test and an ultrafiltration technique were used. The rabbit pyrogen test was also used in the case of cafazolin sodium. At high antibiotic concentrations, these samples which were artificially contaminated with endotoxin inhibited the gelation reaction of LAL. But the gelation reaction occurred when most of the antibiotic was removed by ultrafiltration. Likewise, cefazolin sodium interfered not only with the LAL test but also with the rabbit pyrogen test. From these results it can be said that special modification to eliminate interference should be taken into consideration for valid method of pyrogen tests in the parenteral products containing these antibiotics.

Objective : This study designed to find out the effects of deep acupuncture in cerebrovascular hemiplegia. Methods : This study was performed on 30 patients with cerebrovascular hemiplegia to observe difference in temperature of skin surface between general acupuncture and deep acupuncture at Hapkok using digital infrared thermographic imaging(D.I.T.I.) Results : 1. Temperature of paralytic side is sigficantly higer $0.39{\pm}0.78^{\circ}C$ than that of contralateral side. 2. Thermal difference(${\Delta}T$) of paralytic side-contralateral side decreased $0.08{\pm}0.53^{\circ}C$ after general acupuncture, but there is no significant. $0.20{\pm}0.50^{\circ}C$ after deep acupuncture decreased significantly. So deep acupuncture is more effective than general acupuncture. 3. Thermal difference of paralytic side-paralytic side and contralateral side-contralateral side decreased significantly after acupuncture, and thermal difference of deep acupuncture on paralytic side-paralytic side decreased $0.42{\pm}1.07^{\circ}C$ more than that of general acupuncture. So deep acupuncture is more effective than general acupuncture. Conclusions: This study showed that deep acupuncture is more effective than general acupuncture In cerebrovascular hemiplegia, and further study is needed on clinical trials.

Objective : Hemifacial spasm is painless uncommon disorder characterized by involuntary paroxysmal movement of one side of face, In this study, the effect of Dong-Si acupuncture therapy for three patients with hemifacial spasm were evaluated. Methods : We have treated them with acupuncture treatment of Dong-Si acupuncture points(Cheuk-Samni and Cheuk-ha-Samni) and evaluated the effect by Scott's scale, For the first two weeks, it was dine once a day, and after two weeks, the other day. Results : Before therapy, the grades of spasm intensity classified by Scott's description in three cases were 3. And after Dong-Si acupuncture therapy, the grade of one case was 0, and two cases were 1. Conclusion : The Dong-Si acupuncture therapy for hemifacial spasm was effective and will be attempted to the patients with it.

Sibutramine is an orally administered centrally-acting antiobesity agent and inhibits both noradrenaline(norephinephirine) and serotonin(5-HT) reuptake. These effects are contributed by its active metabolites, M1 and M2. However, as the free base form of sibutramine is an oil form in room temperature, it had the problem of handling and stability. Thus, this drug should be used in the form of acid salt form in the pharmaceutical application. Unfortunately, anhydrous sibutramine hydrochloride is highly hygroscopic and unstable. In order to solve the hygroscopicity of the anhydrous salt form, another sibutramine acid salt form must be developed as a hydrate form. In this study. to overcome these problems, various of sibutramine acid salt forms were prepared with the pharmaceutically available salts such as maleate, esylate, mandelate, camsylate, besylate, salicylate, tartrate, isethionate and malate forms, and their physicochemical properties were investigated. Sibutramine malate was selected for excellent solubility and stability among the listed salt forms above. Its pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated in rats comparing with sibutramine HCl, resulting in similar parameters. In vitro dissolution study of sibutramine malate-loaded capsule was performed comparison with commercial product ($Reductil^{(R)}$) in pH 1.2, pH 4.0, pH 6.8 and water medium. Our results indicated that there were no significant differences in their dissolution profiles were similar in all tested medium. Thus, sibutramine malate-loaded capsule should be a potential candiate due to its excellent solubility, good stability and biosimilar absorption.

The study was performed to compare the dissolution, diffusion and absorption characteristics using Sartorius dissolution and absorption simulator and in vivo bioavailability of commercially available rifampicin capsules. Both brands C and F showed similar dissolution patterns and absorption properties through artificial gastric barrier in Sartorius simulator. Diffusion rate constants through the membrane of brands C and F were $3.04\;{\times}40^{-3}$ and $2.88\;{\times}\;10^{-3}cm/min$, respectively. Rifampicin capsules were administered orally to six fasted healthy volunteers according to cross-over design. The pharmacokinetic parameters between brands C and F, maximum plasma drug concentration$(C_{max})$, the time to reach $C_{max}$, absorption rate constant and area under the curve $(AUC_{0-24hr})$, elimination rate constant, and amount of drug excreted in urine were 6.11 and $7.27\;{\mu}g/ml$, 2.71 and 1.52 hr, 0.6371 and $1.6456 hr^{-1}$, 57.84 and $57.28\;{\mu}g\;{\cdot}\;hr/ml$, 0.1891 and $0.1734 hr^{-l}$, 119.98 and 119.93 mg, respectively. On the basis of experimental results, it was concluded that the bioavailability of brand C rifampicin capsules was almost the same as that of brand F rifampicin capsules.

본 연구에서는 무철분식이로 철분결핍성 빈혈 유발을 시킨 흰쥐에게 3주간 무철분식이를 섭취시키면서 saline, 참당귀 추출물 및 철분보충제를 투여한 후, 무철분식이를 일반식이로 대체하여 다시 3주간 같은 처리를 한 후 혈액학적 빈혈지표를 조사하여 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 실험동물의 체중은 무철분식이군에서 일반식이군에서 보다 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 무철분식이로 인한 저체중은 참당귀 추출물과 철분 보충제에 의해서 회복되지 않았다. 2) 혈액분석 결과 무철분식이는 모든 혈액 빈혈지표를 저하시켰으며, 철분보충제의 투여는 헤모글빈, 헤마토크릿, 평균 혈구 부피, 평균 혈구혈색소, 평균 혈구혈색소 농도, 총철결합능력이 유의적으로 회복시켰다. 무철분식이와 함께 투여한 참당귀 추출물은 혈액지표를 개선시키지 못하였다. 한편, 일반식이와 함께 섭취하였을 경우, 헤모글로빈, 헤마토크릿, 평균 혈구부피, 평균 혈구혈색소, 평균 혈구혈색소 농도, 총철결합능력 모두 유의적인 회복효과를 보였으나 일반식이만을 섭취한 군에서도 같은 회복효과를 보였다. 결론적으로, 장기간에 걸쳐 철분 섭취가 불량할 경우, 체중증가가 지연되며 후에 철분을 보충할 경우에도 체중의 회복은 개선되지 않았다. 철분결핍으로 인한 저체중의 경우, 철분보충제의 복용은 체중을 만회시키지 못하였으나 혈액학적 빈혈 지표들은 회복시키는 것으로 나타났다. 철분결핍 빈혈에서 식이철분이 부족할 경우, 참당귀의 회복효과는 미비한 것으로 나타났다. 향후 철분결핍 빈혈의 치료를 위한 생약제의 다양한 작용을 밝히기 위하여서는 영양학적인 관점에서 체내 이용률에 관한 심도 깊은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.
