The effects of sodium taurocholate(STC) and sodium deoxycholate(SDC) on cardiac function were examined by using isolated atria of rabbit and guinea pig and heart of anesthetized frog. Also the antiarrythmic action of STC and SDC on atrial arrhythmias induced by epinephrine or ouabain was studied. The results were following. The cholates exhibited a slight decrease in rate and contractile amplitude of the isolated rabbit atria. The cholates abolished partially the spontaneous arrhythmic occurring in isolated rabbit and guinea pig atria but no effect on the atrial arrhythmia induced by ouabain and epinephrine was observed. Concomitant administration of cholates with ouabain produced a marked prolongation of atrial arrhythmia in comparison to that of ouabain alone in both isolated rabbit and guinea pig atria. The cholates exhibited a marked prolongation in ventricular arrhythmia and cardiac arrest time in comparison to that of ouabain treatment. However, the combined treatment with cholates and ouabain produced a slight prolongation in comparison to that of ouabain alone in the heart of anesthetized frog. The above results suggest that cholates have a slight antiarrythmic effect on the heart but this effectiveness is different from those of propranolol that is non-selective antiarrhythmic drug.

CJ-50002 is an oral vaccine against V.vulnificus infection composed of whole cell lysate of V. vulnificus. The general pharmacological properties of CJ-50002 were evaluated in various animals and in vitro system. CJ-50002 at oral doses of 0.2, 2 and 20 mg/kg had no effect on general behavior in mice, chromo- and electro-convulsions in mice, writhing syndrome induced by acetic acid in mice, body temperature in rats, charcoal meal propulsion in mice and urine and electrolytes excretion in rats. However, oral administration of CJ-50002 at dose of 20 mg/kg prolonged the hexobarbital-inuced sleeping inducing time in mice. In anesthetized dogs, CJ-50002 showed no effect on blood pressure, heart rate and ECG but decreased the respiratory rate and femoral blood flow at dose of 20 mg/kg. p.o. CJ-50002 had no effect on the contractile response of the isolated guinea pig ileum to various spasmogen at concentrations of 0.2, 2 and 20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, respectively. Since these pharmacological effects of CJ-500o2 were observed at dose much greater than those in clinical use (approximately 0.16 mg/kg, p.o.), it is likely that this vaccine may be relatively free of undesirable effects in clinical practice.

Lidocaine의 심근 수축력 억제 기전이 적출 심장에서 내인성 기질의 사용과 관련이 있는가를 규명하기 위하여, 심장의 phosphofructokinase (PFK)에 대한 강력한 억제 작용을 나타내는 citracte와 bicarbonate-free medium을 이용하여 쥐의 적출 심방 수축성에 대한 lidocaine의 영향을 연구하여 다음과 같은 실험 결과를 얻었다. Citrate와 bicarbonate-free medium은 쥐의 적출 심방의 수축력을 현저히 저하시켰다. Pyruvate나 acetate는 citracte와 bicarbonate-free medium에서 저하된 심방 수축력을 현저히 증가시키는 반면, fructose는 수축력을 증가시키지 못했다. 이 결과는 citrate와 bicarbonate-free medium이 Embden-Meyerhof pathway의 일부, 즉 PFK step을 억제함을 시사한다. 외인성 기질이 없을때 citrate와 bicarbonate-free medium은 기질 제거 용액에서 심방 수축력을 현저히 감소시키며, acetate에 의해 수축력이 회복되었다. 이는 PFK step 이전 단계의 내인성 기질 (glycogen)이 citrated에 의해 억제됨을 시사한다. Lidocaine은 citrate에 의해 억제된 수축력을 더욱 감소시켰다. 이 결과는 lidocaine에 의한 심방 수축력 억제가 PFK step 이후 단계의 내인성 기질 억제에 의한 것임을 시사한다. 이상의 결과로 보아 lidocaine의 적출 심방에 대한 수축력 억제 작용은 두가지 (또는 그 이상)의 기전에 의한 것으로 사료된다: 하나는 PFK step 전단계의 해당과정의 억제기전이고 또 다른 기전은 PFK step 이후의 내인성 기질(들)의 억제인 것으로 사료된다.

In an attempt to better understand the effect of whole body irradiation on the spontaneous motility and oxygen consumption rate of the isolated mouse duodenum, a whole body X-irradiation of 1,000r. was given to albino mouse, and 1) the total length of contraction of isolated duodenum was recorded on kymograph every five minutes for 60 minutes, 2) glucose and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) were added to the reaction medium of Kreb's-Ringer-bicarbonate buffer(KRB) and response of the isolated duodenum to the drugs was observed, and 3) the oxygen consumption rate $(QO_2)$ of the isolated duodenum as well as the effect of glucose and 5-HT on $QO_2$ were measured by Warburg's standard manometric method and the comparison was made with the control(i.e. normal) group. The results thus obtained are summarized as follows. 1. The spontaneous motility of the isolated duodenum in the irradiated groups showed a significantly elevated pattern for the first 15 minutes comparing with the control. The motility, however, decreased after 15 minutes and remained so in the irradiated groups to the level of the nonirradiated control, but 24 hours post-irradiation group showed a tendency of an increased motility while one hour post-irradiation group showed no difference comparing with the control. 2. Addition of glucose produced generally elevated motility of the isolated duodenum in both irradiated and non-irradiated groups comparing with the control throughout the experiment, but no difference was observed in contractile amplitude between the irradiated and non·irradiated groups. 3. When 5-HT was added to the irradiated group, the contractile amplitude of isolated duodenum was similar to that of the control, and 5-HT alone caused a slight increase of the motility comparing with the control. 4. The oxygen consumption rate $(QO_2)$ of the isolated duodenum was found to be ,slightly increased in one hour post·irradiated group, but similar in 24 hour post·irradiated group comparing with the control. Glucose produced a significant increase of $QO_2$ in all the groups, but 5-HT produced a tendency of decrease of $QO_2$ in all the groups.

심장에 작용하는 약물의 기전연구에 있어서 약물의 작용이 심근수축에 필요한 대사 기질과의 관계를 검토하고자, 심근 수축력 유지에 필요한 에너지원인 각종 대사기질의 정상쥐 적출 심방 수축력 유지능력과 굶긴 쥐 적출 심방의 수축력 유지 능력을 비교 관찰한 바 다음과 같은 실험결과를 얻었다. 1. 굶긴 쥐의 체중은 정상쥐에 비해 기아 (starvation) 시작 2일에서 약 15%의 체중감소를 나타냈다. 2. 정상 쥐의 적출 심방은 기질제거 용액에서 30분에 약 40%의 현저한 수축력의 감소를 보였다. 그러나 2일간 굶긴 쥐의 적출 심장은 기질제거액에서 30분에 약 13%의 수축력의 감소를 보여 정상 쥐에서의 수축력 저하보다 현저히 낮은 감소율을 나타냈다. 3. 기질제거 용액에서 glucose, pyruvate 및 acetate가 적출 심장의 수축력을 회복시키는 능력은 굶긴 쥐에서보다 정상쥐에서 현저히 높게 나타났다 4. 이상의 data들은 기질제거 용액에서 굻긴 쥐 적출 심장은 정상 쥐 적출 심장에 비해 현저히 적게 외인성 기질을 쓰고 있음을 시사하고 있다. 이상의 연구 결과로 미루어 보아 기아가 흰쥐의 현저한 체중감소를 초래하나, 심근의 수축성에 대해서는 유해하지 않은 것 같이 보여지며, 오히려 기아 기간 중 흰쥐의 적출 심장의 수축 기능에 필요한 내인성 대사 기질의 축적을 증가시킨다는 사실을 시사하고 있다.

Contractile responses of myocardium and vascular smooth muscle to angiotensin II were studied in isolated rabbit papillary muscles and aortic helical strips, with respect to the sensitivity and the mechanism of action. All experiments were performed in $HCO-_3\;-buffered Tyrode solution which was aerated with $3%\;CO_2-97%\;O_2$ and kept pH 7.35 at $35^{\circ}C$. Action potentials were measured by conventional microelectrode technique in the papillary muscles. Helical strips of vascular smooth muscle were prepared from the descending thoracic aorta of the rabbit. Angiotensin II elicited a positive inotropic effect in doses from $10^{-8}$ to $10^{-6}\;M$, and this effect was dose-dependent and characterized by a symmetrical increase of maximum dP/dt during contraction and relaxation phase. Slow responses (or slow action potentials) were induced by A. II $(10^{-6}\;M)$ in the papillary muscle hypopolarized by 27 mM $K^+$. These A. II-induced slow action potentials were eliminated by verapamil (2 mg/l), but not affected by propranolol $(10^{-5}\;M)$. In aortic helical strips, contractile force was increased dose-dependently in the range of $10^{-10}{\sim}10^{-7}\;M$ A. II. $ED_{50}$ in aorta was $3{\times}10^{-9}\;M$ A. II, whereas that in paillary muscle was $2.5{\times}10^{-7}\;M$ A. II. A. II contracted vascular smooth muscle in depolarizing concentration of $K^+$ (100 mM $K^+$), and also produced a sustained contraction even in the presence of verapamil and regitine. The results of this experiment suggest that the primarily important physiological role of A. II is the action on the blood vessel, and the positive inotropic effect of A. II in papillary muscle results from the increase of slow inward $Ca^{++}$ current, and that A. II-induced contraction of aorta is independent of transmembrane potential and associated with promoting bet transmembrane $Ca^{++}\;-influx$ and the mobilization of cellular $Ca^{++}$.

가토의 회장평활근에서 substance P의 수축기전을 밝히기 위하여 본 실험을 시행하여 다음과 같이 요약하였다. 1) SP는 $10^{-9}M$부터 수축을 일으켜 $10^{-7}M$에서 최대수축을 나타내었고 그 생도는 $10^{-6}M$ acetylcholine에 의한 수축의 90%에 달하였다. 2) SP를 농도별로 부가적으로 투여할 때는 SP를 각 농도마다 따로 투여함 때보다 수축의 크기가 크게 감소하였다. 3) $10^{-7}M$ SP로 5분간 처리한 회장평활근의 $10^{-8}M$ SP에 글한 반응은 $10^{-7}M$과 $10^{-8}M$ SP 투여시간의 간격이 클수록 증가하여 20분후 정상으로 회복되었다. 4) $10^{-7}M$ SP로 3분 처리후에도 $10^{-6}M$ acetylcholine에 의한 수축은 영향을 받지 않았다. 5) $10^{-7}M$ SP에 의한 수축은 $10^{-6}M$ atropine에 의해 영향을 받지 않았고 3mM TEA전처치시 $10^{-7}M$ SP에 의한 수축은 정상이거나 약간 감소하였고 SP 전처치시 TEA 수축은 감소하였다. 6) $10^{-8}M$ SP와 3mM TEA에 의한 수축은 Na없는 용액, $10^{-4}M$ ouabain, 100k용액에 의해 완전히 억제되었고 $10^{-6}M$ NE 존재시는 40% 정도 억제되었다. $10^{-7}M$ SP에 의한 수축은 각 조건내서 완전히 억제되지 않았다. K없는 용액에서 $10^{-8}M$ SP 의한 수축은 완전히 억제되고 $10^{-7}M$ SP와 TEA에 의한 수축은 완전히 억제되지 않았다. 7) SP에 의한 수축은 0. 1 mM $Ca^{2+}$존재시 상당히 억제되었고 외부 $Ca^{2+}$증가시 증가하여 1.8 mM $Ca^{2+}$에서 최고에 달하였으며 그 이후는 오히려 감소하였다. SP수축의 감소속도는 0.5mM $Ca^{2+}$에 의해 증가하였으나 1.8mM이상의 $Ca^{2+}$농도에서는 영향을 받지 않았다. 8) $Ca^{2+}$없는 용액에서 $10^{-7}M$ SP는 수축을 일으켰고 그 수축의 크기는 $Ca^{2+}$없는 용액으로 처리시간이 증가함에 따라 감소하며 10분후 완전 소실되었다. 9) $Ca^{2+}$없는 용액으로 처리시간이 길어질수록 0.5mM $Ca^{2+}$에서 $10^{-7}M$ SP에 의한 수축은 감소하였다. 10) $Ca^{2+}$없는 용액에서 10분간 처리한 후 $10^{-7}M$ SP에 의한 수축은 Ca loading time이 길수록 외부 $Ca^{2+}$농도가 높을수록 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 저농도의 SP는 주로 외부 $Ca^{2+}$의 유입에 의해 수축을 일으키는 것으로 생각되며 이 $Ca^{2+}$의 유입에 관여하는 기전은 $K^+$투과도의 감소에 의한 막전위의 탈분극만으로 완전히 설명할 수 없었고 고농도의 SP에 의한 수축에는 세포내부 $Ca^{2+}$의 유리도 관여하고 이 $Ca^{2+}$저장고는 세포막과 밀접하게 연결되어 있는 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of supercritical fluid extract of Kamichungbieum (SFE) on the contraction of isolated rat aorta. The contractile force of rat aorta was measured with force displacement transducer under 1.5g loading tension. The contraction of aorta induced by phenylephrine 0.1 μM was inhibited by SFE. The aorta relaxed by SFE was inhibited by the pretreatment of L-NNA, ODQ or indomethacin, respectively. These results indicate that SFE induce the relaxation of isolated aorta via activation of nitric oxide, cAMP and cyclooxygenase in epithelium cells.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of KST221085, a newly synthesized antidiabetic agent, on the hearts from streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. In isolated diabetic hearts, left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), heart rate (HR) and coronary flow rate (CFR) were decreased compared to normal control, indicating cardiovascular dysfunction in diabetic heart. The treatment with 10 $\mu$M KST221085 remarkably improved the diabetes-induced contractile impairment, without any influence on HR. Reduced coronary flow in diabetic heart was also significantly increased by treatment with 10 $\mu$M KST221085. In isolated aorta from diabetic rat, treatment with 10 $\mu$M KST221085 increased endothelium-dependent relaxation, suggesting that KST221085 can improve the impaired endothelial function in diabetic aorta. Our results suggest that KST221085 treatment can improve the cardiovascular dysfunction in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

To investigate the difference of contractile mechanism between KCI and phenylephrine-induced contraction, we observed effects of $Ca^{2+}$ antagonists and protein kinase inhibitors on aorta contraction of rats. Verapamil dose-dependently inhibited the contraction induced by KCI and phenylephrine, the inhibitory effect of verapamil was more potent in KCI-induced contraction than phenylephrine-induced contraction. Econazole and TMB-8 significantly inhibited CKI-induced contraction but did not inhibit phenylephrine-induced contraction. Staurosporine dose-dependently inhibited both KCI and phenylephrine-induced contraction. Genistein and calmodulin antagonists (W-7 and trifluoperazine) also inhibited both contraction in a dose dependent manner. However, the inhibitory effects of genistein and calmodulin antagonists were more potent in phenylephrine-induced contraction than KCI-induced contraction. These results suggest that involvements of $Ca^{2+}$ channel and protein kinase in rat aorta contraction were dependent on agonist causing aorta smooth muscle contraction.
