In order to investigate experimentally the effects of Sung-yangikgibujat'ang (SIT) and Kwangyebujalijungt'ang (KBT) on Yang-insufficient syndrome (陽虛證) induced by Hydrocortisone acetate (H.A.) in experimental animals (Mice and Rat), the author experimented various activities. Delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH), Rosette forming cells (RFC), hemagglutinin (HA) titers, Hemolysin (HL) titers, Body weight, Whole blood viscosity, Plasma Viscosity, Hematocrit, RBC, Albumin, Total protein, Triglyceride, cholesterol and Glucose were measured. The results summerized as follows; 1. In DTH and RFC all the experimental groups were increased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 2. In HA titers SIT_treated group were increased significantly and KBT-treated group showed increasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 3. In HL titers all the experimental groups showed increasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 4. In body weight all the experimental groups showed increasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 5. In whole blood viscosity all the experimental groups were decreased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 5. In whole blood viscosity all the experimental groups were decreased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 6. In plasma viscosity KBT-treated group were decreased significantly and SIT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 7. In Hematocrit SIT-treated group were decreased significantly and KBT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 8. In RBC, albumin and cholesterol all the experimental groups were decreased significantly in comparison to the H.A.-treated group. 9. In total protein and triglyceride KBT-treated group were decreased significantly and SIT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. 10. In Glucose SIT-treated group were decreased significantly and KBT-treated group showed decreasing tendancy, but showed no significance. From above findings, it has been demonstrated that Sungyangikgibujat'ang and Kwangyebujalijungt'ang seem to produce the effectiveness on the recovery from depression of the cell-mediated immune response, blood circulation and energy metabolic rate, induced by Hydrocortisone acetate, and in the humoral immune response Sungyangikgibujat'ang have the effectiveness on the recovery, and in cellular component of blood Sungyangikgibujat'ang was more effective than Kwangyebujalijungt' ang, and in plasma of blood Kwangyebujalijungt'ang was more effective than Sungyangikgibujat'ang. Therefore it is suggested that Sungyangikgibujat'ang and Kwangyebujalijungt'ang have the effectiveness on the recovery from Yang-insufficient syndrome more or less.

It is well known that red blood cells (RBCs) are suffered from chronic stresses in systemic circulation. The objective of this study is to clarify the effect of the aging of RBCs on rheological properties and hemolysis. Initially, RBCs age fractionation was performed by using a high-speed centrifugation (15[min] at 1500[G]), then young and aged RBCs were suspended in plasma to adjust the hematocrit level of 40[%]. After this pretreatment, the viscosity was measured by using a capillary type and a cone-plate type viscometers, respectively, and the hemolysis test was carried out by a seesaw type shaker. Results from these experiments showed that the viscosity of the aged RBCs measured by the capillary viscometer was increased by 10[%] as compared with that of the young RBCs. Under the condition of all shear zones, the viscosity of the aged RBCs was increased in case of using the cone-plate type viscometer. And the hemolytic level was increased twice as the aging. The data obtained in this study indicated that the ability of aggregation of RBCs was increased and the deformability of RBCs membrane got lower with the aging. Furthermore, it was exhibited that the fragility of RBCs ’ membrane was increased with the aging.

본 연구는 이질환과 소음에 폭로되지 않은 정상 성인 남자들을 대상으로 연령과 적혈구 일반검사 즉 혈구용적치, 적혈구수, 혈색소 및 기도청력역치의 산술평균과의 관계를 살펴본 단면조사연구이다. 적혈구 일반검사중 혈구용적치의 경우 혈액의 점도와 관계있다고 알려져 있으며 이를 중점적으로 살펴보았다. 연령과 적혈구 일반검사 결과와의 관계에서 혈구용 적치, 적혈구수, 혈색소가 연령이 증가할수록 낮았고 통계적으로 유의하였다. 연령과 청력역치 검사에서는 500Hz를 제외한 나머지 주파수대 및 산술평균값에서 연령이 증가할수록 청력역치가 높음을 볼 수 있었고 통계적으로 유의하였다(p<0.01). 청력역치를 산술평균한 3분법에 기초하여 10, 10dB 미만, $10.0\sim19.9dB$, 20.0dB 이상으로 임의로 3등급한 분류에서 연령대 별로 보여준 적혈구 일반검사의 결과와는 반대로 혈구용적치와 적혈구수가 청력저하가 클수록 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 일반 분산분석시 혈구용적치(p<0.01)의 경우 적혈구수(p<0.05)보다 통계적으로 더 유의한 결과를 보았으며, 연령을 보정한 공분산분석에서 혈구용적치 및 적혈구수 모두 통계적으로도 더욱 유의하였다(p<0.01). 앞으로의 과제는 이를 토대로 산업장의 소음성난청과 혈액의 점도와의 연구가 활발하게 이루어져야 하겠으며 혈구용적치 외 서론에서 언급한 혈액의 점도와 관련된 다른 요인들과 혈압, 고지혈증, 흡연과 같은 심혈관 위험요인들에 대한 연구가 함께 이루어져야 하겠다. 나아가 이런 연구들이 진행되어 산업장에서 소음부서 근로자들에 대한 건강관리에서 기도 청력역치검사와 혈액검사에서 혈구용적치 및 기타 혈액검사의 활용여부 등이 잘 검토되어 소음성난청에 대한 건강관리에 적용되어져야 하겠다고 본다.

이 연구는 최대근력형과 근지구력형 저항운동이 총운동량과 혈액점도 및 적혈구용적률에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 저항운동 경력 12개월 이상의 20대 남성 15명으로 선정하였으며, 실험 전 벤치프레스 1RM을 측정하였으며, 조건 별 실험은 1주일간의 간격을 두고 교차배분하여 6세트 씩 최대반복수행 하였다. 그 결과 총운동량은 근지구력강도가 최대근력강도에 비해 높게 나타났으며(p<.001), 혈액점도와 적혈구용적률은 총운동량에 관계없이 운동 전보다 운동 후에 높아졌다(p<.01). 종합하면 혈액점도는 운동강도와 운동량에 영향을 받지 않으며, 일회성 저항운동으로 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 저항운동 프로그램을 구성하는데 있어 임상적으로 의의가 있으며 혈관질환에 관련된 임상환자들의 운동프로그램을 작성하는데 있어 참고자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A slit-flow apparatus with laser diffraction method has been developed with significant advances in ektacytometry design, operation and data analysis. In the slit-flow ektacytometry (or laser-diffractometry), the deformation of red blood cells subjected to continuously decreasing shear stress in slit flow is measured. A laser beam traverses a diluted blood suspension flowing through a slit and is diffracted by RBCs in the volume. The diffraction patterns are captured by a CCD-video camera, linked to a frame grabber integrated with a computer, while the differential pressure variation is measured by a pressure transducer. Both measurements of laser-diffraction image and pressure with respect to time enable to determine deformation index and the shear stress. The range of shear stress of 0 ${\sim}$ 35 Pa and measuring time is less than 2 min. When deforming under decreasing shear stress, RBCs change gradually from the prolate ellipsoid towards a circular biconcave morphology. The Deformation Index (DI) as a measure of RBC deformability is determined from an isointensity curve in the diffraction pattern using an ellipse-fitting program. The advantages of this design are simplicity, i.e., ease of operation and no moving parts, low cost, short operating time, and the disposable kit which is contacted with blood sample.

A soluble dietary fiber, $\beta$-glucan, contained in oat and barley has nutritional benefits such as hypocholesterolemic effects and influences blood glucose regulation. The contents of $\beta$-glucan in both cereals range from 3 to 7% with the exception of a certain barley genotype which contains up to 16% $\beta$-glucan. $\beta$-Glucan is distributed mainly in the cell walls of endosperm and the distal (bran) portion of kernel. Various procedures have been developed for increasing the extraction yield of $\beta$-glucan. Oat gum prepared with weak alkali extractionand alcohol proecipitation following protein removal usually contains 80% $\beta$-glucan.The most commonly used method for $\beta$-glucan quantitiation is an enzymatic procedure combining lichenase plus $\beta$-glucosidase followed by measuring the amount of glucos released by glucose oxidase-peroxidase treatment. The increase in foam-and emulsion-stabilizing capacity of $\beta$-glucan is due to the increase in viscosity of the aqueous phase. Therefore, $\beta$-glucan shows great potentials as a thickener and a stabilizer.

This article described the numerical investigation of shear-thinning blood flow characteristics when subjected to longitudinal and transverse vibrations and delineated the underlying mechanisms of the flow rate enhancements, respectively. In order to fully consider the mechanical vibrations of the capillary, a moving wall boundary condition was adopted. The present numerical results showed that the longitudinal vibration caused a significant increase of wall shear rates, which resulted in a decrease of viscosity and the subsequent increase of flow rates. However, the shear rate for the transverse vibration was slightly increased and the calculated flow rate was underestimated comparing with the previous experimental results.

Blood glue was prepared to reutilize porcine blood. Plasma proteins after lyophilization were treated by addition of wood flour, sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate, and hydrated lime to make blood glue with a suitable adhesivity. Characteristics of the prepared blood glue was monitored by measuring the viscosity with time, and the relationship between degree of hydrolysis of plasma proteins by addition of various amounts of sodium hydroxide and adhesivity was studied. To prevent the emission of formaldehyde during manufacturing of plywood by blood glue, the cross-linking reaction of plasma protein with formaldehyde was also examined. Fourier transform infrared, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectroscopy study showed that blood plasma proteins react with formaldehyde, resulting in removal of formaldehyde by cross-linking reaction.
