The use of therapeutic ultrasound(US) in humans with malignant neoplasms has been contra-indicated in physical therapy practice. Some studies have shown the results after application of US inhibited of tumor growth but some studies have shown the results facilitated of tumor growth in mouse. The purpose of this study were to determine the effects of US on rectal sarcoma(CT-26) in mouse and to determine the histological change of tumor. Thirty-five female BALB/C mouse, age 6 to 8 weeks received subcutaneous injection of 0.1 105 tumor cells. When tumors grew to 5 mm in diameters, the mouse were randomly assigned to control group(n=7) and high powered continuous US group(n=7) and low powered continuous US group(n=7) and high powered pulsed US group(n=7) and low powered pulsed US group(n=7). The experimental group (four groups) received 10 treatments over a 10-day period of 3 MHz ultrasound. Tumor dimension were measured on days 1(start of treatment), 5(midtreatment), and 10(end of treatment, preexcision and postexcision). Tumors were weighed after excision and the mouse were observated histological change of tumor. All tumors grew larger over time. Mean tumor weights(in grams) and volumes(in cubic millimeters) were 2.063 g and $2729.313\;mm^3$ for the high powered continuous US group 1.881 g and $2428.002\;mm^3$ for the low powered continuous US group 1.730 g and $2381.002\;mm^3$ for the high powered pulsed US 1.673 g and $2289.562\;mm^3$ for the low powered pulsed US group 1.670 g and $2297.333\;mm^3$ for the control group. Ultrasound increased the weight and volume of subcutaneous tumor in mouse. We urge caution in the use of ultrasound in the areas of tumors.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of warm needling at $GB_{30}{\cdot}GB_{34}$ on Complete Freund's Adjuvant(CFA)-induced rheumatoid arthritis in rats. Methods : Arthritis was induced by injecting CFA subcutaneously into the left knee joint and paw. Acupuncture(AT) and warm needling(W-AT0.5, W-AT1.0) were injected at $GB_{30}{\cdot}GB_{34}$, every other day for a total of 5 times beginning on day 10 after the CFA injection. Thereafter, external shape, paw edema, serum aminotransferase and anti-inflammatory factors were assessed, and hematological and histological observations were made. Results : In paw edema volume all 3 groups(AT, W-AT0.5, W-AT1.0) showed significant decrease compared to the CFA control group. In TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6, all 3 groups showed significant decrease compared to CFA control group. In AST and ALT all 3 groups showed no significant change. In IL-$1{\beta}$, W-AT0.5 and W-AT1.0, groups showed significant decrease compared to the CFA control group. Leucocyte, erythrocyte and thrombocyte, all 3 groups showed no significant change. In histological observations, all 3 groups were similar to the intact group in terms of synoviocyte, cartilage lacuna and cartilage cells. Conclusions : The results suggest that warm needling at $GB_{30}{\cdot}GB_{34}$, has the effect of suppressing inflammation of CFA-induced rheumatoid arthritis in rats.

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Cannabis Fructus on exercise capacity and cognitive function in chronic hypoperfusion induced vascular dementia rat model. Methods Vascular dementia rat models were induced by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion through bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion (BCCAO). All rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal group; control group; CF I group (feeding Cannabis Fructus 100 mg/kg); CF II group (feeding Cannabis Fructus 300 mg/kg). In order to study the effects of oral administration of Cannabis Fructus on vascular dementia rat models, corner turn test, hole board test, radial arm maze test, passive avoidance test were taken and Acetylcholine (ACh) activity, Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, serum of Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein level were measured. Also histological findings of the liver, kidney, brain and the change of Tau immunoreactive neurons in hippocampus were observed. Results CF I and CF II showed significant improvement in corner turn test, hole board test, radial arm maze test, passive avoidance test, Acetylcholine (ACh) activity, Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, the serum of Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein level and the change of Tau immunoreactive neurons in hippocampus. CF I showed more significant effect than CF II in these tests. However in histological observations of the liver and kidney both CF I and CF II showed glomerular injury and hepatotoxicity. Conclusions These results suggest that Cannabis Fructus was helpful in improving exercise capacity and cognitive function on Chronic hypoperfusion induced Vascular Dementia rats. However Cannabis Fructus affects the liver and kidney, therefore suggest that this is an area for further study.

The studies were attempted to evaluated the therapeutic effects of various fractions(ether, methanol, butanol) of Caragana chamlagu roots on the hyperlipemia induced by feeding the diet containing 1%, cholesterol and 0.5%, cholic acid in rats, and on the hyperglycemia induced by streptozotocin in rats. Also the preventive effects of these fractions were studies on the liver damage in $CCl_4-intoxicated$ rats. The followings were obtained as the results: 1.The butanol fraction was significantly shown to down the serum lipid level in 1%, cholesterol and 0.5%, cholic acid diet-feeding rats and streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemic rats. Cholesterol level in $CCl_4-intoxicated$ rats was reduced in the case of all pre-treated groups. 2.The serum glucose level of streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemic rats was significantly decreased by the administration of various fractions of C. chamlagu roots, and the lipid-peroxidation of pancreas was significantly decreased in the case of administration of these fractions. 3.The activates of s-GOT and s-GPT were decreased by the administration of various fractions, especially in butanol fraction, of C. chamlagu roots in the $CCl_4-intoxicated$ rats. The liver lipid-peroxidation was decreased by administration of 200mg/kg of these fractions in the $CCl_4-intoxicated$ rats. In histological observation, hepatic cellular necrosis and fatty acid deposit were increased remarkably by $CCl_4-intoxication$, but the pretreatment of various fractions of C. chamlagu roots improved the pathological change of parenchymatous cell necrosis and fatty change around centrilobular area of the control.

연구 목적: 임플란트 경부가 잘 설계된 경우 양호한 연조직 반응을 통해 변연골을 보존하는데 도움이 된다. 본 실험에서는 연, 경조직 경계부에 가장 가까이 위치하는 임플란트의 collar design이 변연골 변화와 연조직 반응에 미치는 영향을 동물실험을 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 2마리의 건강한 Beagle dog에 임플란트 collar design만 다른 두 종류의 임플란트(Neobiotech Co. Seoul, Korea)를 식립하였다. Collar에 bevel 을 부여한 군(Bevel군)과 "S"자 형태를 부여한 군(Bioseal 군)으로 나누어 마리 당 7개, 군당 7개, 총 14개의 임플란트를 무작위로 식립한 후 Healing abutment를 즉시 체결하였다. 디지털 표준구내 방사선사진을 이용해 4주 간격으로 총 12주간 근원심 변연골 변화를 관찰하였고, 12주에 희생하여 조직학적 분석을 통해 협설 변연골 흡수 및 임플란트 주변 연조직 반응을 평가하였다. Mann-Whitney test를 통해 동일한 방사선 사진 촬영 시점에서 근원심 변연골 변화량 및 조직계측치를 군 간 비교하였고, Kruskal-Wallis test를 통해 방사선 사진상 근원심 변연골 변화량이 시간에 따른 차이가 있는지 군 내 분석 한 후 Duncan test를 통해 사후 검증하였다(${\alpha}=.05$). 결과: 방사선학적 분석 결과 각 촬영 시점에서 두 군간 근원심 변연골 변화량의 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>.05). 군내에서 시간에 따른 근원심 변연골의 흡수량을 분석한 결과 Bevel 군에서는 시간에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았으나 (P>.05), Bioseal 군에서는 시간에 따른 차이를 보였으며, 4주및 8주와 비교했을 때 12주에서 변연골의 증가를 보였다(P<.05). 조직학적 분석 결과 협설측 변연골 흡수량에서 두 군간 차이를 보이지 않았으나 (P>.05), Bevel 군에 비해 Bioseal 군에서 더 견고한 결합조직부착을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 생물학적 폭경의 값은 두 집단 간 차이를 보이지 않은 반면에 (P>.05), 접합상피부착은 Bevel 군에서 유의하게 길었고, 결합조직부착은 Bioseal 군에서 더 길게 나타났다(P<.05). 결론: Bevel 군에 비해 Bioseal 군에서 결합조직부착은 길게 형성된 반면에 접합상피부착은 더 짧게 나타났으며, 생물학적 폭경과 초기 변연골 흡수에는 차이가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 연조직 반응의 차이가 실제 기능하중 하에서 변연골 변화에 미치는 영향에 대해서 향후 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

나프탈렌이 조피볼락의 생존과 아가미의 조직학적 변화에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 실험에 사용된 조피볼락은 전장 $10.36{\pm}0.49cm$, 전중 $16.28{\pm}1.86g$, 270개체이며, 실험기간은 28일이었다. 실험농도는 6개 농도구를 설정하였다(대조구, 에탄올(solvent) 대조구, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mg Nap $L^{-1}$). 실험기간 동안 사망개체를 매일 파악하여 생존율로 환산하였으며, 실험 종료 후 생존개체의 아가미는 조직표본 제작 후 조직손상의 정도(degree of tissue change (DTC))를 파악하였다. 생존율은 대조구, 에탄올 대조구, 0.5 및 1.0 mg Nap $L^{-1}$에 노출된 개체들은 90% 이상을 나타냈다. 1.5 및 2.0 mg Nap $L^{-1}$에 노출된 개체들은 노출 후 약 20일부터 급격히 감소하여 각각 80%와 62.2%를 나타냈다. 아가미의 조직학적 변화는 새엽 및 새판 상피세포의 증식이 대조구를 포함해 전 노출 농도구에서 관찰되었으며, 농도 증가에 따른 DTC의 증가는 나타나지 않았다. 하지만, 새판 상피층의 탈락 및 융합, 새판 모세혈관 확장, 울혈, 동맥류 및 괴사는 농도의존적 증가를 보였다. 특히 새판의 융합, 모세혈관 확장 및 울혈은 1.0 mg Nap $L^{-1}$ 이상의 농도에서 관찰되었으며, 동맥류와 괴사는 1.5 mg Nap $L^{-1}$ 이상의 농도에서만 관찰되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 생존율의 감소와 아가미의 조직학적 변화가 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 나프탈렌의 독성영향을 결정하는데 있어 DTC의 유용성을 보여준다.
