To get a better insight into the exxistence and the role of a Na-Ca exchange mechanism in smooth muscle, the effect of Na substitution with sucrose on tension development, cellular Ca uptake and $^{45}Ca$ efflux was investigated using isolated cat ileal longitudinal muscle strips. Experimental results were summarized as follows;1) Exposure of the cat ileal longitudinal muscle to Na-free solution induced a contraction, and the magnitude of the contraction increased after incubation of the muscle strips with ouabain ($2{\times10^{-}5}$M) for 1hr. 2) Cellular Ca uptake in Na-free solution increased with an increase in Na content of the Na-loading media, and a linear relationship existed between tissue Na content and cellular Ca uptake for 10 min 3) After tissues were equilibrated in PSS containing $^{45}Ca$ for 2hr, cellular Ca uptake decreased with rising the external Na concentration. 4)Removal of medium Na or inhibition of the Na-K pump decreased the rate of $^{45}Ca$ efflux. These results strongly suggested that Na substitution increases cellular Ca uptake and decreases the rate of $^{45}Ca$ efflux via a Na-Ca exchange mechanism.

미 연준은 2015년부터 통화정책의 정상화를 진행하고 있으며, 이는 우리 경제에 상당한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구는 '시변모수 벡터자기회귀' (Time-varying parameter vector auto regression, TVP-VAR) 모형을 바탕으로 미국 통화정책이 우리나라 금융시장과 자본유출입에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 미국 통화정책의 변화는 신용스프레드, 페더럴펀드 금리(정책금리), 기간프리미엄 등 세 변수를 통해 파악하였다. 국내 변수로는 금융시장 지표(장기금리, 원/달러 환율, 신용스프레드)와 국제수지표 금융계정을 분석하였다. 미국 정책금리 충격은 2004~2006년 금리인상기에는 국내 금융시장에 불안을 야기 시키고 외국인 국내 투자와 내국인 해외투자의 동시 감소를 초래하였으나 2015년 이후에는 그 효과가 제한적인 것으로 드러났다. 미국 기간프리미엄의 영향력은 양적완화 (Quantitative Easing, QE) 정책 실시 이후 확대되었다. 미국 신용스프레드가 국내 금융시장과 자본유출입에 미친 충격은 글로벌 금융위기 이후 크게 확대된 것으로 나타났다. 미국 통화정책 정상화의 파급효과 예측을 위한 시뮬레이션을 실시한 결과 정책금리 인상 자체보다 이로 인해 금융시장이 불안해질 때 발생할 수 있는 신용스프레드의 상승이 국내 금융시장에 더 큰 부작용을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 자금유출입 측면에서 미국 통화정책 정상화는 외국인 투자자금의 국외이탈 압력 증가로 이어지나, 내국인의 해외투자자금이 국내로 환수되면서 이를 상쇄한다.

Ketoprofen has been used as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAI) agent for analgesia in surgical patients and increasing numbers of surgical patients are chronically take some forms of NSAI drugs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of ketoprofen on the healing of a closed linear surgical wound and on the contraction of an opened surgical wound in rats. The experimental groups were divided into two groups and ten rats were allocated in each group. In ketoprofen-treated group, the rats were given 2.5 mg/mg/day of ketoprofen by s.c. for ten days. In control group, the rats were given 1ml of benzyl alcohol and distilled water by s.c. for ten days. After time period, all rats were sacrificed, and the breaking strength and the collagen concentrations, at the wound site, were measured. In ketoprofen-treated group, the mean breaking strength and the mean collagen concentration were significantly decreased when compared with those of controls. The ketoprofen-treated group had shown a mean rate of wound contraction less than that of the control, although not statistically significant. These results suggested that ketoprofen impaired wound healing.

The flow characteristics of ice slurry which was made from $6.5{\%}$ ethylene glycol-water solution flowing in the special pipings including the enlargement, the contraction and the orifice were experimentally investigated. The flow patterns and the pressure drops were measured in acrylic pipes when the fraction of ice were varied from $0\;to\;30{\%}$. The pressure drop behavior of the contraction and the orifice appears to be similar to that of the elbow pipe, since these piping may provide similar frictional resistance to the elbow. In the mean while, the pressure drop increased unexpectedly high with the Ice fraction in the enlargement pipe. It seems that the onset of sharp increase in the pressure drop depends on the flowing time as well as the ice fraction and the flow rate.

곤충의 혈액순환은 심장 박동에 의해 도움을 받는다. 다양한 생리적 변화는 심장 박동 조절을 수반하게 된다. 심장박동에 대한 교란은 곤충의 생존을 위협하게 된다. 본 연구는 활성산소를 유발하여 살충력을 발휘하는 이산화염소가 혈액순환계에 미치는 영향을 심장박동을 통해 분석하였다. 화랑곡나방(Plodia interpunctella) 유충의 등핏줄은 몸의 윗면 중앙에 위치하고 후방으로 복부 10번째 마디에서 시작하여 전방으로 첫 번째 가슴 마디까지 연결된 관 구조를 나타냈다. 등핏줄의 수축과 이완은 주로 복부 3-10번째 마디에 위치한 등핏줄에서 일어났으며 이 부위에 5개의 심실이 관찰되었다. 심장박동빈도는 $25^{\circ}C$에서 분당 평균 118.6회의 수축 리듬을 보였다. 그러나 온도에 따라 심장박동빈도는 현격한 변화를 보였다. 혈강에 이산화염소를 다양한 농도로 투여한 경우 심장박동빈도는 약제 농도 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 이산화염소(100 ppm)을 훈증 처리할 경우 노출 시간의 경과에 따라 심장박동리듬이 현격하게 감소하였다. 이러한 이산화염소의 심장박동 억제효과는 활성산소 저해제인 비타민 E와 함께 주입할 경우 회복되는 현상을 나타냈다. 이상의 결과는 이산화염소가 화랑곡나방의 심장박동에 억제효과를 주었으며 이러한 억제효과는 이물질이 유발하는 활성산소에 기인된 것으로 해석된다.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to compare changes in the thickness of the gluteus medius muscle fiber between chronic low back pain(clbp) with gluteus medius weakness and healthy subject. METHODS: Ultrasound imaging was used to measure in the thickness of each fiber of the gluteus medius muscle based on maximal muscle contraction during abduction motion of the hip joint in a healthy group (11 subjects) and a chronic CLBP group (21 subjects). An independent t-test was performed to analyze the difference of thickness in each fiber of the gluteus medius muscle and the rate of changes in the fibers in the two groups. RESULTS: The fiber thickness changes in the gluteus medius muscle were significantly lower for the posterior fiber in the CLBP group compared to the healthy group (p<0.01). The changes in rate of difference of thickness the posterior part of the gluteus medius muscle was significantly lower in the CLBP group than in the healthy group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The findings of this study CLBP patients with weakness of the gluteus medius muscle that lower for the posterior fiber's difference of thickness and rate of change in the CLBP group compared to the healthy group. Indicate that rehabilitation of CLBP patients with weakness of the gluteus medius muscle should consider the functions of posterior fiber of the gluteus medius muscle.

Objectives : In this study, we investigated whether Astragali Radix Pharmacocupuncture (ARP) has an effective on the full thickness defect wound healing process of mouse. Methods : A total of 50 mice (ICR mouse, 7 week-old male) were divided into control group and ARP group. A single full thickness skin defect was made on the dorsal side of the each mouse using an 8mm diameter biopsy punch. Control group were treated with 0.2㎖ saline and ARP group were treat with 0.2ml ARP at 8 points around the wound every three days total 4 times during the experimental period. The change in wound size, contraction rate, healing rate, and epithelization rate was measured by digital images taken on days 3, 6, 9, and 13, and evaluated using a digital image analysis program. Tissues were collected for histological analysis, RT-PCR, and Western blot on days 3, 6, 9, and 15. Results : The results are as follows. ARP group accelerated the rate of wound contraction, wound healing and epithelization compared to the control group. ARP group showed the decrease of inflammatory cells in early inflammatory phase compared to the control group. ARP group upregulated PECAM-1 mRNA and protein expression compared to the control group. ARP group inhibited the scar width and area compared to the control group. Conclusions: ARP showed positive effects on wound healing through the inhibition of inflammatory reaction and increase of PECAM-1 expression related to the wound healing process.

We consider the estimation of failure rate and acceleration factor under type-I censoring without using acceleration model when testing is conducted in only one highly accelerated condition. Failure times of an item are assumed to be exponentially distributed. It is also assumed that the uncertainty about the acceleration factor, the failure time contraction ratio between accelerated condition and use condition, can be modeled by the uniform or gamma prior distribution of appropriate parameters. We respectively use Bayes and maximum likelihood approaches to estimate acceleration factor and failure rate in the use condition. An example is given to show how the method can be applied.

This study was designed to elucidate the anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular, anti-thrombotic and analgesic effects of Shintongchugeotang. The anti-inflammatory effect was measured by the method of carragenin induced edema, protein leakage test using CMC-pouch, and the analgesic effect was measured by the acetic acid method and hot plate method, and the effect of Shintongchugeotang on the cardiovascular system was observed by the change of flow rate of Ringer solution in the vascular system in the ear of rabbit, and the contraction and dilatation of rat tail artery. Death rate, platelet aggregation, plasma coagulation activity was observed for the measurement of the anti-coagurative effect of Shintongchugeotang. The result was as follows : 1. After the administration of Shintongchugeotang extract, Carragenin induced edema and CMC-pouch protein leakage were significantly decreased. 2. The slight analgesic effect of Shintongchugeotang extract was confirmed by the observation of writhing syndrome, paw licking time, and escape time. 3. The drug increased the auricular blood flow in rabbit. 4. The drug relaxed the artery contraction by pretreated norepinephrine in rat. 5. The drug inhibited the death rate of mouse which was led to thromboembolism by serotonin and collagen. 6. The drug inhibited the platelet aggregation in rat. 7. The drug prolonged the prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time on the test of plasma coagulation factor activity in rat, but was not valuable.
