  • Effects of royal jelly(RJ) on the immune system in normal and cyclophosphamide(CY)-treated mice were investigated. The results were as following: 1. Body weight, spleen weight, thymus weight, WBC, cell-mediated immunity (CMI, contact hypersensitivity to DNFB), humoral immunity (HI, Hemagglutinin-, Hemolysin-titer) were increased or decreased dependent on the day of administration of RJ in normal mice. But it showed no effect on liver weight and RBC. 2. Combined treatment with RJ in CY-treated mice on the day which RJ showed the increasing activities in normal mice inhibited the decrease of survival rate, body weight, spleen weight, WBC and CMI caused by CY, but no effect on the decrease of thymus weight and HI induced by CY.

  • Ethanolic extracts of T. cordifolia and C. asiatica were evaluated for immunostimulatory effect in mice against sheep RBCs as antigen by three models viz. delayed type hypersensitivity reaction, ercent change in neutrophil count and haemagglutination titre. Immunostimulatory effect in the presence of immunosuppressant agent, cyclophosphamide (100 mg/kg, i.p.) was also investigated. T. cordifolia and C. asiatica significantly (p < 0.001, p < 0.05 respectively) enhanced foot pad thickness when measured after 24 hours of sheep RBC antigen challenge. Both the plant materials increased foot pad thickness even after being subjected to immunosuppressant exposure. T. cordifolia revealed enhanced neutrophil counts, while C. asiatica had no significant effect on neutrophil counts. T. cordifolia exhibited significantly (P < 0.01) elevated neutrophil levels even in the presence of cyclophosphamide administration. Both the plants exhibited humoral antibody response, as haemagglutination titre values were significantly high as compared to control. T. cordifolia and C. asiatica could combat immunosuppressant effect of cyclophosphamide (P < 0.01). This suggests that T. cordifolia and C. asiatica can be regarded as biological response modifiers and can be utilized for the development of immunostimulating agent among plant sources.

  • To assure that cyclophosphamide has been considered something that must be effective to retard wound healing, the Author has studied clinically and histopathologically. All rabbits were incised on the mucogingival junction of anterior teeth in mandible about 1 Cm. in length with mucosa and periosteum layer. The 21 rabbits within 6 months old, weighing about 1.5-1.8 kg were divided into a experimental group and a control group. 1) Group 1 (Experimental group)-After 14 rabbits dieted as the control group were injected with Endoxan (=Cyclophosphamide) in dosage of 30mg per 1kg-body weight intramuscularly, the surgery was performed. 2) Group 2 (Control group)-the surgery in this group was performed without Endoxan. The rabbits were sacrificed on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10the, 14th day after surgery and microscopic slides were made with H-E stain. The results might be summarized as follows; 1) Cyclophosphamide effected to retard healing process on the incised wound of oral mucosa and connective tissue. 2) Control wounds were healed by the 7th day after surgery. 3) Comparison between control and experimental wound did not show significant differences 14th day after surgery.

  • This experiment was performed to investigate the effects of ginseng saponin fraction and cyclophosphamide (CY) on the tumor development, the antitumor effect and the tumoricidal activity of mouse macrophage. When mice were treated with saponin or CY following inoculation with Sarcoma 180, tumor development was inhibited and survival ratio increased, and a combination of both treatments further inhibited the tumor development. Tumoricidal activity of macrophage was effectively increased at 10-7% concentration of CY and it was further increased when macrophage was cotreated with saponin and CY. Tumoricidal activity of macrophage was greatest at the third day after inoculating tumor cell. Both saponin and CY increased the chemiluminescence of macrophage, but CY had no effect on releasing TNF, unlike saponin.

  • In order to investigate the effects of chitosan on the normal and cyclophosphamide (CY)-suppressed primary humoral immune response in mice, chitosan was orally administered alone (single dose of 62.5, 250 mg/kg) or with CY (20 mg/kg, i.p.) to female ICR mice on the 2nd day before or after immunization with SRBC-antigen. When chitosan alone was administered before antigenic challenge, splenic IgM plaque forming cells (PFC) and splenic cellularity were slightly increased and serum IgM was not changed when compared with control group. However, chitosan significantly enhanced PFC, serum IgM and splenic cellularity when administered after antigenic challenge. The PFC numbers, serum IgM and splenic cellularity were significantly decreased by the treatment of CY, whereas those values were slightly increased by the concomitant treament of CY and chitosan when compared with CY alone-administration. These results indicate that chitosan is able to increase normal humoral immunity (HI) and to slightly inhibit the suppressive effects of CY on HI.

  • Objective : This study was performed to investigate the effect of Astragali Radix on leukocytopenia anaphysis with carcinostatic substance elicitation. Methods : We observe if there were differences in a general tendency by EAR (AR extracts) capacity in the Astragali Radix treated group and the cyclophosphamide treated group, a general tendency of recovery from leukocytopenia over lime and checked for liver and kidney toxicity. Results : In cyclophosphamide treated with EAR 1000mg/kg group, the recovery rate of leukocytopenia increased and there were no differences in liver and kidney functions. Conclusions : Astragali Radix was effective and safe in increasing rate of leukocytopenia anaphysis with carcinostatic substance elicitation and indicated possibility for clinically adaptation.

  • Leukotactin-1 (Lkn-1), a human CC chemokine, has been demonstrated to induce chemotaxis of neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils and Iym phocytes and has been shown to suppress colony formation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) in vitro and in vivo. The temporal suppression of HSPC by chemokines could potentially be applicable for various indications, such as the protection of HSPC from the several anti-proliferating chemotherapeutics in cancer treatments. In order to evaluate the protective effects on myeloid progenitor cells, the recombinant Lkn-1 was produced by Pichia pastoris and tested with cyclophosphamide, cytotoxic chemotherapeutics. The pretreatment of Lkn-1 increased the number of HSPC in bone marrow as well as the potency of resulting progenitor cells after the treatment of cyclophosphamide. Af-ter the first cycle of cyclophosphamide treatment these protections of HSPC correlated with the increased number of white blood cells and neutrophils in the peripheral blood. In lethal conditions created by the repeated administration of cyclophosphamide, the treatment of Lkn-1 enhanced the survival of mice, suggesting the potential use of Lkn-1 as the protective agent for HSPC from various cytotoxic insults.

  • Objectives: To observe the mitigating effects of a Traditional Korean Medicine(TKM) treatment program especially including pharmacopuncture, with Cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin chemotherapy on a both sides breast cancer patient. Methods: AA 74 year-old female patient diagnosed with both sides breast cancer (Right) pT1bpN0M0, (Left) pT1cpN1Mx was admitted to hospital of Dong-eui university in May of 2017. She received Cyclophosphamide and Doxorubicin from May $31^{st}$ to August $2^{nd}$, 2017 followed by TKM treatment consisting of herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion and pharmacopuncture (Trionycis Carapax, Non-toxic Bee Venom, and Cultivated Wild Ginseng Extract) for a period of almost 4 months, from May $13^{th}$ to August $19^{th}$, 2017. Symptoms were evaluated by the grade of chief complaints refer to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG). Results: TKM including pharmacopuncture alleviated chemotherapy-induced nausea, fatigue, joint pain, diarrhea, insomnia. Conclusions: This case study potentiates TKM with pharmacopuncture's significant efficacy in aiding breast cancer patients suffering from Cyclophosphamide plus Doxorubicin induced adverse effects. Further research should take place for clear understanding of the exact amount of dosage and safety. Moreover it must be accompanied by long-term follow up researches.
