The carbon tetrachloride($CCl_4$) has been demonstrated to have a hepatotoxic effect in human or many other species. To investigate the enzyme induction of mixed function oxygenases in liver of male Sprague-Dawley rats a single 0.1, 0.5 mι/kg dose of carbon tetrachloride were given. At 24 hr after a single dose of 0.1 mι CC1$_4$/kg weight, methanol extract of Hedera rhombea leaves was administered with 100, 500 mg/kg weight. Assays of 7-ethoxyresorufin-Ο-deethylation(EROD),7-benzyloxyresorufin-Ο-deathylation(BROD),4-nitro-phenol-UDP-glucuronosyltransferase(UDPGT), Western blot and RNA slot blot were used as representatives of the activities of cytochrome P-450 enzymes. The change of the activity of CYP1A1 form measured by EROD assay and Western analysis using 1-7-1 monoclonal antibody was not observed. The activity CYP2B1 form by BROD assay and using 2-66-3 monoclonal antibody was remarkably increased. Elevated level of CYP2B1 mRNA was shown by slot hybridization with 2B1-specific probe. Administration of methanol extract of Hedera rhombea leaves reversed the enzyme activity and the level of mRNA, which suggest the chemoprotective effect of methanol extracts of Hedera rhombea leaves to carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxlcity.

The object of this work was to study the pharmacokinetic differences and the cause of these differences in cirrhotic rats induced by N,N-dimethylnitrosamine or carbon tetrachloride treatment when aminophylline (8 mg/kg as theophylline, i.v.) was injected. The concentrations of theophylline and its major metabolite (1,3-dimethyluric acid) in plasma were determined by HPLC. In addition, formation of 1,3-dimethyluric acid from theophylline in microsomes was determined. In cirrhotic rats, the systemic clearance of theophylline was reduced to $17\%$ of the control value while AUC (area under the plasma concentration-time curve) and $(t_{1/2})_{\beta}$ were increased to about 6 fold and 10 fold, respectively. The formation of 1,3-dimethyluric acid was decreased to $33-41\%$ of the control value in microsomes of cirrhotic rat liver. From these results, it can be concluded that in cirrhotic rats induced by N,N-dimethylnitrosamine or carbon tetrachloride the total body clearance of theophylline is markedly reduced due to a reduced hepatic metabolism.

동물의 간소엽에 심한 지방성병변과 괴사성병변을 일으키는 사염화탄소와 이와 비슷한 독작용을 가지고 동물의 간소엽에 심한 출혈성 괴사성병변을 초래하는 Dimethylnitrosamine이 동일물질의 2~3회 반복투여에 의해서 어떠한 영향을 받는가를 비교, 관찰하기 위하여 체중 150~200gm의 백서를 실험동물로 사용하여 Sublethal dose의 사염화탄소(0.4ml/kg)와 DMN(40mg/kg)을 1회, 2회 및 3회 복강내로 주입하여 간소엽에 나타난 병리조직학적 병변을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 사염화탄소를 1회 투여한 동물의 간소엽에 있어서 지방변성 괴사성병변에 비해 2회 또는 3회 반복투여한 동물의 병변정도가 경하였고, 또 간세포나 동양세포의 재생성 변화도 더 빨리 일어났다. 2. DMN을 1회 투여한 동물에 있어서의 괴사성병변은 2회 또는 3회 투여한 군의 그것과 큰 차이는 없었지만 간세포의 증식성 변화는 DMN의 투여회수가 많을수록 비례해서 강하게 나타나는 경향을 보였다.

Effects of Ssang Wha Tang (SWT), a blended Chinease traditional medicine, on the pharmacokinetics of sulfobromophthalein (BSP) in the rats of hepatic failure induced by carbon tetrachloride were examined. The disposition of plasma BSP in carbon tetrachloride-treated rats (Group I) and in carbon tetrachloride+SWT-treated rats (Group II) followed a three-compartment model, while those in control group followed two-compartment model. GOT, GPT level and some pharmacokinetic paramiters like plasma clearance but except distribution volume (Vdss) recovered in Group II compared to Group I. Therefore, SWT seemed to have an apparent restoring effect of hepatic function damaged by carbon tetrachloride treatment. From the fact that Vdss of BSP in Group II was considered as an one of the probable mechanisms. More intensive increase in BSP-free fraction ($f_p$) in Group II than that in Group I might also explain the increases of BSP clearance and Vdss in Group II compared to Group I. Assuming no changes in hepatic plasma flow(Q) in each group, hepatic intrinsic clearance($CL^h_{int}$) decreased in Group I did not recovered not at all in Group II. Therefore SWT seemed not to have any restoring effect of true hepaticfunction to biotransform and excrete BSP, and the apparent restoring effect of SWT might be due only to the replacement of BSP-plasma protein binding. Whether $f_p$ is actually higer in Group II than in Group I, and Q is constant in each group are being examined in our laboratory. The changes of Q, which might lead to another conculusions, also should be taken into consideration to clarify the apparent hepatorestoring effect of SWT.

A water-soluble DDB derivative (Bis{2-(methylamino)ethyl}-4,4-dimethoxy-5,5',6,6'-dimethylenedioxy-biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylate, DDB-S) was synthesized and its therapeutic effects on the liver damage induced by carbon tetrachloride in rats were evaluated. Oral administration of DDB-S reduced the aspartate aminotransferase(AST) and alanine aminotransferase(ALT) activities and increased total protein and albumin contents in the serum of the carbon tetrachloride intoxicated rat. Therapeutic effects of DDB-S by intravenous injection was also investigated using carbon tetrachloride intoxicated rats. Histological studies showed that IV injection of DDB-S had improved the typical necrosis around centrilobular area in liver tissue due to the carbon tetrachloride intoxication and also prevented the elevation of liver weigh/body weight ratio. IV administration of DDB-S to $CCl_4-treated$ rats significantly decreased AST & ALT activities and also prevented the decrease of aniline hydroxylation activity of the liver. These results indicate that i.v. administration of DDB-S is very effective in recovering the liver function in $CCl_4-treated$ rats.

사염화탄소는 C-Cl결합이 끊어진 후에 생성되는 삼염화탄소 라디칼의 공명 안정성에 의해 매우 반응성이 높은 사슬이동제로 알려져 있으며, 본 논문은 벤질 라디칼과 삼염화탄소 라디칼의 안정성을 비교연구하였다. 큐밀클로라이드는 C-Cl결합이 끊어진 후에 벤질 라디칼을 생성하므로 이 연구에 적합한 구조이다. 큐밀클로라이드와 사염화탄소의 반응성은 스티렌을 단량체로 한 자유라디칼 중합을 통해 계산된 사슬 이동 상수로 비교하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면 큐밀클로라이드는 사염화탄소보다 더 반응성이 높았다. 계산된 큐밀클로라이드의 스티렌에 대한 사슬이동상수 값이 약 0.0463으로 0.0011인 사염화탄소 보다 훨씬 높았다. 이 결과는 벤질 라디칼이 삼염화탄소 라디칼보다 훨씬 높은 안정성을 보여주기 때문인 것으로 추정된다. 큐밀클로라이드의 사슬이동상수의 유효성을 조사하기 위하여 Monte Carlo 모의 실험방법을 사용하였다.

In this study the sillicon-alloyed isotropic pyrolytic carbon was deposited in the tumbling bed from the pyrolysis of propane and silicon tetrachloride and investigated whether the silicon-alloyed isotropic pyrolytic carbon deposited in this study was usable as bionaterial or not. The silicon-allyed isotropic pyrolytic carbon was varied by controlling the process variables such as propane con-concentration and the argon flow rate flowing in to the silicon tetrachloride bubbler at a fixed reaction bed tempera-ture of 120$0^{\circ}C$ a rotation of reaction tube of 40 rpm a bed particle weight of 7.5 g and a total flow rate of 21/min; the propane concentration was varied from 10 to 70 and the argon flow rate flowing into the silicon tetrachloride bubble from 0 to 1000 cc/min. The results show that the silicon-alloyed isotropic pyrolytic carbon was obtained at all conditions investigated, . And then the alloyed silicon content is rangion from 7 to 14.5 wt%. The density and deposition rate of deposited silicon-alloyed isotropic carbon increased axxording to silicon content and propane concentration. And the apparent crystal-size(Lc) of pyrolytic carbon is not changed with silicon content. The density and apparant crystallite size are respec-tively in the range of 1.94 to 2.06 and 20 to 25$\AA$ It is shown that the silicon-alloyed isotropic pyrolytic carbon ob-tained in this experiment is usable as biomaterial.

The effects of dichloromethane (DCM) on carbon tetrachloride (CT) toxicity were examined in adult male rats. A concomitant treatment of rats with DCM (0.3, 0.6, 1.2 g/kg, po) significantly potentiated the hepatotoxicity of CT (1.0 g/kg, po) as determined by increase in serum GPT (glutamic pyruvic transaminase), GOT (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase), and SDH (sorbitol dehydrogenase) activity 24 hr following the treatments. Serum LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) activity was increased by either DCM or CT treatment.

Extraction of Sedum sarmentosum Bunge by super critical carbon dioxide was operated under $40-50^{\circ}C$and 200-250 atm, thus, yield of extraction was very low as 4 wt%. Rats were administrated with the extract orally once a day for succesive 6 days, followed by treatment with carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$) on the sixth day. The activities of aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transpeptidase, lactate dehydrogenase and contents of triglyceride, total cholesterol in the extract-pretreated rats were decreased compared to the $CCl_4$controled rats, whereas content of HDL-cholesterol was increased. Especially content of hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) and atherogenic index (AI) were decreased and HTR was increased in the extract-pretreated rats, and reduced peroxidative liver damage in the $CCl_4$-induced hepatotoxicity rats. In addition, activities of hepatic superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase in the extract-pretreated rats were significantly decreased compared to the $CCl_4$ controled rats, but the content of glutathione was significantly increased. These results suggest that extract of Sedum sarmentosum Bunge has hepatoprotective effect in the $CCl_4$-intoxicated rats.
