Objectives : These present study was designed to investigate the relaxation effects of Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus(AOF) on isolated corpus cavernosum smooth muscle.Methods : Rabbit corpus cavernous tissues were prepared in strip. Then relaxation responses of AOF at 0.01-3 ㎎/㎖ in contracted strips induced by phenylephrine(PE) were measured. To evaluate mechanisms, indomethacin(IM) tetraethylammonium chloride(TEA), Nω-nitro-L-arginine(_L-NNA), methylene blue(MB) were treated before AOF extract(0.1-3 ㎎/㎖) infused into precontracted strips induced by PE. And 1 mM Ca²⁺was infused into precontracted strips after pretreatment of AOF extract(3 ㎎/㎖) in Ca²⁺-free krebs-ringer solution. NO concentration was measured by Griess reagent system. Ratio of smooth muscles to collagen fibers and eNOS positive reaction were measured by histocheminal and immunohistochemical process.Results : The cavernous strips were significantly relaxed by AOF extract 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3 ㎎/㎖ and the pretreatment with IM 10 μM,_L-NNA 100 μM, MB 10 μM inhibited relaxation of AOF compared to non-pretreatment, but the pretreatment with TEA 100 μM didn't affect relaxation of AOF. In a Ca²⁺-free solution, pretreatment with AOF reduced increase on contraction of strips by Ca²⁺supply than non-pretreatment. On HUVEC, NO concentration was increased. On corpus cavernosum of penis in Spontaneous Hypertensive Rat, ratio of smooth muscles to collagen fibers and eNOS positive reaction in AOF group were increased compared to PE groupConclusions : Taken this results, we can suggest that AOF extract exerts a relaxation effects on rabbit corpus cavernosum smooth muscle in part by suppressing influx of extracellular Ca²⁺throughout prostacyclin, the NO-cGMP system.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Oja-Shingiwhan(OS) in contracted corpus cavernosum smooth muscle and its mechanism. To evaluate the relaxation of OS in contracted corpus cavernosum, OS was treated in strips which were precontracted with phenylephrine(PE). To examine its mechanism, OS was treated into corporal strips contracted by PE after pretreatment of Nω-nitro-L-arginine(L-NNA) and compared with non-pretreatment of _L-NNA. In calcium chloride(Ca²⁺)-free krebs solution, Ca²⁺ 1 mM was treated into corporal strips contracted by PE after pretreatment of OS and compared with non-pretreatment of OS. action were measured by histochemical, immunohistochemical methods. OS significantly affected on the relaxation of corporal strips, and the relaxation effects were inhibited by pretreatment of L-NNA. Contractions induced by Ca²⁺ influx were inhibited by pretreatment of OS in Ca²⁺-free krebs solution. OS increased eNOS positive reaction in corpus cavernosum, but decreased PDE-5 positive reaction. These result suggest that the effect of OS in contracted corpus cavernosum smooth muscle are shown by suppressing extracellular Ca²⁺ influx and increase of eNOS, NO production and decrease of PDE-5.

The aim of this experiment was to elucidate the effects of Saseuptang water extract on the renal function plasma renin activity and plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide and aldosterone in rat The results were as follows; 1. Water balance decreased significantly after the administration of Saseuptang water extract, 0.4 and 0.8ml/kg. 2. Urine volume increased significantly after the administration of Saseuptang water extract, $0.4\;m{\ell}/kg$. 3. Urinary excretion of chloride increased significantly after the administration of Saseupthang water extract, $0.8\;m{\ell}/kg$. 4. Free water clearance increased significantly after the administration of Saseuptang water extract, $0.8\;m{\ell}/kg$. 5. Urinary excretion of creatinine increased significantly after the administration of Saseuptang water extract, $0.8\;m{\ell}/kg$. 6. Plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) decreased significantly after administration of Saseupthang water extract, $0.8\;m{\ell}/kg$. These results suggest that the changes of urine volume after the administration of Saseuptang water extracts are related to the increments of glomerular filtration rate and free water clearance, and it is suggested that the changes of renal function by which Saseuotang may related to the renin-angiotensin and atrial natriuretic peptide system.

For microbial production of acetaminophen, a popular analgesic-antipyretic from aniline, we screened various fungi and bacteria. And we succeeded to some extents in acetaminophen production by successful protoplast fusion between S. lividans and S. globisporus and also between S. rimosus and S. aureofaciens. However, more fertile results might be brought via performing the cloning of acetanilide p-hydroxylation genes of Streptomyces in yeast. This study was initiated to determine whether the acetanilide p-hydroxylase of Streptomyces is cytochrome P-450 species or non-heme iron protein species. The p-hydroxylationactivity on acetanilide in S. aureofaciens ATCC 10762 was found to be unstable on exposing to the air. However, 100,000xg supernatant of the cell free extracts which were prepared in $N_2$ atmosphere showed the p-hydroxylation activity. Characteristic absorption peak of cytochrome P-450 after reduction with dithionite and addition of CO was not observed in the region of 450nm. Moreover, metyrapone and 2, 6-dichloroindophenol did not affect this enzyme activity, but sodium azide, sodium cyanide, cupric sulfate, cadmium chloride, ${\alpha}$, ${\alpha}'-dipyridyl$, and o-phenanthroline reduced p-hydroxylase activity considerably. S. fradiae NRRL 2702 was shown to have strong p-hydroxylation activity in intact cells. This activity disappeared in its cell free extracts. In its 100,000xg supernatant, however, characteristic absorption peak of cytochrome P-450 after reduction with dithionite and addition of CO was observed at 446nm. Thus, the results herein presented suggest that acetanilide p-hydroxylase of Streptomyces aureofaciens is not related to cytochrome P-450 and may include non-heme iron protein for its activity. However, it is not clear whether acetanilide p-hydroxylase in S. fradiae belongs to the same category of S. aureofaciens.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the relaxation effects and underlying mechanisms of Cynomorii herba (CH) extract in isolated rabbit corpus cavernous tissues.Methods: We experimented with CH extract (0.01-3.0 mg/mL). Nω-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) was experimented before the CH extract to contracted strips induced by phenylephrine (PE, 1 μM)and compared with nonexperimented. In addition, we experimented with calcium chloride (Ca²⁺, 1 mM) after pretreatment of the CH extract in Ca²⁺-free Krebs-Ringer solution to contracted strips induced by PE. The cell viability and nitric oxide (NO) concentration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were measured by an methylthiazol-2-yl-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay and Griess reagent system. The ratio of smooth muscles to collagen fibers, in addition to eNOS- and PDE-5-positive reactions, was examined by histochemical and immunohistochemical staining.Results: The CH extract significantly induced the relaxation of the cavernous strips, and the pretreatment with L-NNA inhibited CH extract-induced relaxation. The L-NNA pretreatment reduced the increased contraction induced by the addition of Ca²⁺in Ca²⁺-free solution. Furthermore, the NO concentration of the HUVECs increased. When the CH extract was applied to the corpus cavernosum of the penis (CCP) of Sprague Dawley rats, the ratio of smooth muscles to collagen fibers by PE and the formation of eNOS around the helicine artery increased. However, the CH extract treatment decreased PDE-5 positive reactions.Conclusions: These results show that the relaxation effects induced by the CH extract are associated with the suppression of the influx of extracellular Ca²⁺ via the production of NO and eNOS and inhibition of PDE-5.

Objectives : Agrimoniae Herba is a herbal medicine widely distributed in Asia and contains flavonoids including catechin, quercitrin, rutin, hyperoside, and quercetin. This study aimed to investigate the anti-oxidant activity and skin barrier function of different solvent fractions (Hexane; methylene chloride, MC; ethyl acetate, EA; n-butanol, Bu; Water) obtained from Agrimoniae Herba. Methods : Anti-oxidant activity of different solvent fractions obtained from Agrimoniae Herba was investigated through total polyphenol contents, total flavonoid contents, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity measurements. Then, filament aggregating protein (Filaggrin), Type I collagen, ceramide synthase (CERS) 3, and CERS4 were analyzed to evaluate the skin barrier strengthening effect of different solvent fractions obtained from Agrimoniae Herba on UVB-stimulated HaCaT cells. Results : As a result of measuring total polyphenol contents, total flavonoid contents, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, and ABTS radical scavenging activity, antioxidant activity was found to be excellent in the order of EA > Bu > MC > Hexane > Water. As a result of measuring mRNA gene expression of Type I collagen, Filaggrin, CERS3, and CERS4 after UVB-stimulated was applied to HaCaT cells treated with different solvent fractions obtained from Agrimoniae Herba, it was found to increase significantly in the Bu-treated group. Conclusion : Our findings show that the Bu sample obtained from Agrimoniae Herba has excellent anti-oxidant ability, which increases Type I collagen, Filaggrin, and ceramide synthetase in UVB-stimulated HaCaT cells to control the skin barrier improvement effect.

목 적 : 지속적으로 증가하는 소아 비만은 성인 비만으로 이행되기 쉽고 합병증으로 고혈압, 지방간, 동맥경화증이 동반될 수 있다. Carnitine은 장쇄 지방산이 미토콘드리아로 이동할 때 필요한 조효소로 지방산 대사에서 중요한 역할을 한다. 지방간을 가진 비만 소아에서 혈중 지방산과 carnitine 농도를 측정함으로써 L-carnitine을 임상적으로 비만 치료에 적용할 수 있는지를 알아보고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 방 법 : 7-18세의 지방간으로 진단받은 비만아 9명과 정상 대조군 소아 10명을 대상으로 하였다. 혈장을 sodium borate를 섞어 원심분리 후 하층을 methylene chloride를 이용하여 계층 분리하였고, MSTFA와 acetonitrile을 넣고 유도체화 반응을 시켰다. GC-MS 자동 분석기로 혈청 지방산 fraction을 정량 분석하였고, carnitine(free, acyl, total)은 cycling technique을 이용하여 415 nm에서 정량 분석하였다. 결 과 : 혈중 총 지방산은 지방간이 동반된 비만아 군에서 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였고 특히 장쇄 지방산(myristic acid, palmitoleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid)이 의미 있게 증가되어 있었다. 총 carnitine과 유리 carnitine 농도가 비만아에서 정상아에 비해 유의하게 증가하였으나 acyl carnitine은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 지방간이 동반된 비만아에서 장쇄 지방산이 뚜렷이 증가되었으며, 비만아군에서 정상아에 비해 혈청 carnitine이 증가되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이것을 기초로 하여 비만아에서 L-carnitine 투여 후 지방산 대사의 변화에 대해 추후에 연구할 예정이다.
