This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Heapyoyangjintang and Haepyoejintang extract on the contractile force of the isolated guinea pig trachea smooth muscle and elucidate its mechanism. The results were obtained as follows : 1. The isolated trachea smooth muscle was suspended in the organ bath with oxygenated kreb's Henseleit bicarbonate buffer solution at $37^{\circ}C$, and the developed tension by the drug was recorded with Isometric transducer(nacro F-60). The resting tension was approximately 0.5g. 2. The trachea smooth muscle of the isolated guinea pig was significantly relaxed by the administration of Haepyoyangjintang and Haepyoejintang extract. 3. The contractile response of the trachea smooth muscle of the isolated guinea pig to histamine$10^4M$ Was significantly inhibited by Heapyoyangjintang and Haepyoejintang extract. 4. The contractile response of the trachea smooth muscle of the isolated guinea pig to acetylcholine$10^4M$ was considerably inhibited by Haepyoyangjintang and Haepyoejintang extract. 5. The contractile response of the trachea smooth muscle of the isolated guinea pig to 5-hydorxytrtrypptamine $10^4M$ was considerably inhibited by Haepyoyangjintang and haepyoejintang extract.

To elucidate the action of the cholinergic nerve on the isolated uterine smooth muscle of the pig, effects of electrical transmural nerve stimulation and acetylcholine were investigated on the pretreatment of the physostigmine ; cholinestrase inhibitor and atropine ; cholinergic receptor blocker from physiograph. 1. The contractile response induced by acetylcholine was responsed in the concentration of 10^{-8}$ M at first and the maximum contractility was concentration of $10^{-6}$ M. 2. The contractile response induced by electrical transmural nerve stimulation(20 V, 0.5 Msec, 20 sec) was the frequency(2-64 Hz) -dependent manner. 3. The contractile response induced by acetylcholine was completely blocked by the pretreatment with cholinergic receptor blocker, atropine and was increased by the pretrement of cholinestrase inhibitor, physostigmine. 4. The contractile response induced by electrical transmural nerve stimulation was completely blocked by the pretreatment with cholinergic receptor blocker, atropine, and was increased by the pretretment of cholinestrase inhibitor, physostigmine. These findings suggest that it was powerful excitatory action by cholinergic nerve on uterine smooth muscle of the pig.

The effects of histamine were investigated on the uterine smooth muscle motility in the pig. The results were summarized as fellows : 1. Histamine caused the contraction of the porcine uterine smooth muscle and the contractile responses increased between the concetration of histamine $10^{-8}$ and $10^{-5}$ M with a dose-dependent manner. 2. The contractile response Induced by histamine ($10^{-6}$ M) was completely blocked by pretrevatment with $H_1$-histaminergic receptor blocker, pyrilamine($10^{-6}$ M) 3. The contractile response induced by histamine($10^{-6}$ M) was increased by pretreatment with $H_2$-histaminergic receptor blocker, cimetidine($10^{-6}$ M) From these results, it was concluded that the effects of uterine smooth muscle by histamine were the contraction mediated by $H_1$-histaminergic receptor and the relaxation mediated by $H_2$-histaminergic receptor in pig.

The Influence of age on the endothelial modulation of angiotensin II (AII)-induced contractile response was investigated in isolated aortic rings of rats ranging in age from 0.7 to 20 months. Hemoglobin and L-NAME were used to examine whether age-related changes in the EDRF-releasing system were involved in endothelial modulation of All-induced contraction in rat aorta. In all five age groups (0.7, 1.5, 3, 6, 20 months), hemoglobin (10 ${\mu}$M) significantly enhanced All-induced contractile response only in aorta with endothelium intact. L-NAME (10 ${\mu}$M) Produced a significant enhancement in All responses in endothelium-intact aortas from rats aged 0.7 and 1.5 months, but it had no effect in aortas from older rats aged 6 and 20 months. Indomethacin (10 ${\mu}$M) did not affect All-induced contractile responses in both endothelium intact and removed aortas from rats at the age of 0.7 to 20 months. Hemoglobin (10 ${\mu}$M) abolished acetylcholine-induced relaxation response in aortas from young and old rats. L-NAME completely abolished the relaxation in aortas from young (0.7 and 1.5 months), but incompletely in aortas from older (6 and 20 months) rats. The sensitivity of endothelium-dependent relaxation to A23187 increased with age between ages of 0.7 and 6 months, with no further increase noted up to 20 months of age. These results suggest that endothelial modulation of AII-induced contraction in rat aorta might involve age-related alteration in EDRF-releasing system, probably via post-receptor mechanism.

To elucidate the action of the cholinergic and ${\alpha}_2$-adrenergic nerve on the isolated ileal smooth muscle of the dog, effect a of electrical field stimulation were investigated on the pretreatment of the physostigmine; cholinestrase inhibitor, yohimbine; ${\alpha}_2$-adrenoceptor blocker, atropine ; cholinergic receptor blocker and phentolamine; non-selective $\alpha$-adrenoceptor blocker from physiograph. 1. The contractile response induced by electrical field stimulation was the frequency (2-40 Hz)-dependent manner. 2. The contractile response induced by electrical field stimulation was markedly increased by the pretreatment of physostigmine$(1{\mu}M)$; cholinestrase inhibitor. 3. The contractile response induced by electrical field stimulation was increased by the pretreatment of yohimbine$(1{\mu}M)$; ${\alpha}_2$-adrenoceptor blocker. These finding suggest that it was powerful excitatory action by cholinergic nerve and inhibitory action by ${\alpha}_2$-adrenergic nerve on ileal smooth muscle of the dog.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a combined functional intervention program on the pain-related questionnaire, the erector spinae contractile properties, and trunk extensor strength of prime-aged females with non-specific chronic low back pain. Method: 16 (female: 16) prime-aged subjects (age: 60.88 ± 6.09 years, height: 158.16 ± 5.58 cm, weight: 59.05 ± 9.44 kg) participated in this study. Results: Except for Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia all pain-related questionnaires revealed a significant decrease after the intervention program (p<.001). Tensiomyography of the erector spinae revealed a significant post-intervention program increase in the maximum radial displacement (p<.05) and velocity of contraction (p<.05), however, there wasn't a significant post-intervention program change in the contraction time. Additionally, Trunk extensor strength showed a significant increase post-intervention program (p<.001). Conclusion: Our results indicated that the combined functional intervention program positively changed pain-related questionnaires and reduced erector spinae muscle stiffness, increasing the velocity of erector spinae contraction. Additionally, improved the trunk extensor strength.

To elucidate whether or not innervation of purinergic nerve and functional action of $P_{2X}$-, $P_{2Y}$-purinoceptor, the neurogenic effects of perivascular nerve stimulation were investigated using by physiograph recording system in isolated coronary artery of pig. 1. The contractile responses induced by perivascular nerve stimulation (20V, 0.5msec, 20sec) were the frequency (2~64Hz) dependent manner. 2. The neurogenic contractile responses induced by perivascular nerve stimulation were inhibited by the pretreatment with either ATP or adenosine ($10^{-7}{\sim}10^{-4}M$). 3. The neurogenic contractile responses induced by perivascular nerve stimulation (20V, 16Hz, 0.5msec, 20sec) were increased by the pretreatment with reactive blue 2, but were not affected by the pretreatment with 8-phenyltheopylline ($10^{-5}M$). 4. The neurogenic contractile responses induced by perivascular nerve stimulation (20V, 16Hz, 0.5msec, 20sec) were inhibited by the desensitization of the P2X-purinoceptor using by treatment of $10^{-5}M$, -methylene ATP as 3 times over again. The accomplished present study on isolated coronary artery of pig suggest that purinergic nerve is innervated and that the neurogenic contractile response was mediated by activation of $P_{2X}$-purinoceptor and the neurogenic relaxative response was mediated by activation of both $P_1$ and $P_{2Y}$-purinoceptor.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of green tea extract (GTE) on arterial blood pressure and contractile responses of isolated aortic strips of the normotensive rats and to establish the mechanism of action. The phenylephrine ($10^{-6}~10^{-5}M$)-induced contractile responses were greatly inhibited in the presence of GTE (0.3~1.2 mg/mL) in a dose-dependent fashion. Also, high potassium ($3.5{\times}10^{-2}~5.6{\times}10^{-2}{\;}M$)-induced contractile responses were depressed in the presence of 0.6~1.2 mg/mL of GTE, but not affected in low concentration of GTE (0.3 mg/mL). However, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG, $4~12{\;}{\mu}g/mL$) did not affect the contractile responses evoked by phenylephrine and high $K^+$. GTE (5~20 mg/kg) given into a femoral vein of the normotensive rat produced a dose-dependent depressor response, which is transient. Interestingly, the infusion of a moderate dose of GTE (10 mg/kg/30 min) made a significant reduction in pressor responses induced by intravenous norepinephrine. However, EGCG (1 mg/kg/30 min) did not affect them. Collectively, these results obtained from the present study demonstrate that intravenous GTE causes a dose-dependent depressor action in the anesthetized rat at least partly through the blockade of adrenergic $\alpha_1$-receptors. GTE also causes the relaxation in the isolated aortic strips of the rat via the blockade of adrenergic $\alpha_1$-receptors, in addition to the unknown direct mechanism. It seems that there is a big difference in the vascular effect between GTE and EGCG.

The experiments were carried out to elucidate the relationships between neurogenic effects of electrical transmural nerve stimulation and effect of adenosine 5'-triphosphate(ATP) to purinoceptor on the urinary bladder smooth muscle of pig. The results were as follows : 1. The contractile responses induced by electrical transmural nerve stimulation(10V or 20V, 0.5msec, 10sec) were the frequency(2~64Hz) dependent manner. 2. The contractile response induced by carbachol was responsed with a dose-dependent manner and the maximum contractility was $10^{-4}M$. 3. The contractile responses induced by ATP were increased in a dose-dependent manner ($10^{-5}{\sim}10^{-3}M$). 4. The contractile response induced by electrical transmural nerve stimulation(10V, 2~32Hz, 0.5msec, 10sec) was partially blocked by the treatment with atropine($10^{-5}M$), and was powerfully inhibited by 3 times of addition with ATP($10^{-5}M$). 5. The contractile response induced by electrical transmural nerve stimulation(10V, 2~32Hz, 0.5msec, 10sec) was partially blocked by the treatment with atropine($10^{-5}M$), and was completely blocked by the desensitization of the $P_{2X}$-purinoceptor using ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$-methylene ATP($5{\times}10^{-5}M$). These results suggest that purinergic nerve was innervated, and ATP and acetylcholine was released by the electrical transmural nerve stimulation in urinary bladder smooth muscle of pig.

It was previously reported that the deterioration rate of contractile force of the isolated heart from ginseng extract treated rat was slower than that from control. Present study was carried out to investigate the mechanism of the action of ginseng on the contractile force of the papillary muscle in terms of calcium metabolism. Rats weighing 200-300g were administered orally with ginseng ethanol extract (100mg/kg/day) for more than 10 days. The isolated papillary muscles from rat hearts were suspended in bath containing Krebs-Henseleit solution. When equilibration of contractile force of papillary muscle was reached, the rates of deterioration of contractile forces of papillary muscle from ginseng component treated rats were determined by washing with Ca-free Krebs-Henseleit solution and compared with that of normal hearts. At the beginning of washing, the rate of deterioration of contractile force of the papillary muscle was slower significantly in ginseng treated rats than in control rats, suggesting that calcium may be somehow involved in sustaining the contractility in ginseng treated hearts. Anoxia of papillary muscle with nitrogen gas to muscles inhibited the contractility, but differences between control and ginseng treated groups in the rate of deterioration were not observed. Influence of diltiazem, calcium blocker, on the contractility of papillary muscle from ginseng treated and control hearts was studied. Contractility of papillary muscle from control and ginseng treated hearts was inhibited by diltiazem in dose dependent manner but the inhibition of the ginseng treated muscles was much weak. The effect was significantly different. From the results, it seemed that slowing in deterioration rate of papillary muscle from ginseng treated hearts might be related to calcium which was mobilized from plasma membrane of internal organelle by ginseng.
