Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the effects of Calculus Bovis-Fel Uris-Moschus pharmacopuncture (BUM) on the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in normal and cerebral ischemic rats and to investigate a possible pathway involved in the effects of BUM. Methods: The changes in the rCBF and the MABP following BUM into Fengfu (GV16) were determined by using a laser-Doppler flow meter and a pressure transducer, respectively. Results: BUM significantly increased the rCBF and decreased the MABP in normal rats in a dose-dependent manner. The effect on the rCBF was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with methylene blue (0.01 mg/kg, intraperitoneal), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, but was not affected by pretreatment with indomethacin (1 mg/kg, intraperitoneal), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase. The BUM-induced decrease of the MABP was changed neither by methylene blue nor by indomethacin pretreatment. In the cerebral ischemic rats, the rCBF was stably increased upon cerebral reperfusion in the BUM group in contrast to the rapid and marked increase in the control group. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that BUM into Fengbu (GV16) increased the rCBF in a dose-dependent manner in the normal state; furthermore, it improved the stability of the rCBF in the ischemic state upon reperfusion. Also, the effects of BUM on the rCBF were attenuated by inhibition of guanylate cyclase, suggesting that the effects involved the guanylate cyclase pathway.

Citri Reticulatae Viride Pericarpium extract(CRVP) have been used in oriental medicine for many centuries as a therapeutic agent for Soothing the liver and regulating the circulation of qi(疏肝理氣), and promoting digestion and removing stagnated food(消積化滯). The effects of CRVP on the vascular system is not known. The purpose of this Study was to investigate the effects of CRVP on the pial arterial diameter and regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) in normal rats and ischemic cerebrovascular pathologic model rats. The changes in rCBF was determinated by Laser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF), and the changes in pial arterial diameter were determinated by video microscopy methods and video analyzer. The results were as follows ; 1. Pial arterial diameter was significantly increased by CRVP in a dose-dependent manner. 2. Pretreatment with L-NNA significantly inhibited CRVP induced increased rCBF and pial arterial diameter. 3. Both the methylene chloride fraction and the hexane fraction of CRVP dose-dependently improved the altered cerebral hemodynamics of cerebral ischemic animal by increasing rCBF. 4. Pretreatment with L-NNA and indomethacin significantly inhibited CRVP(MC) induced increased rCBF. 5. Pretreatment with L-NNA and indomethacin significantly inhibited CRVP(hexane) induced increased rCBF. 6. Pretreatment with CRVP maredly stabilized the changes rCBF and pial arterial diameter during the period of cerebral reperusion. In conclusion, CRVP causes a diverse response of rCBF and pial arterial diameter, and CRVP dose-dependently improved the altered cerebral hemodynamics of cerebral ischemic animal by increasing rCBF and pial arterial diameter. These results suggest that the improvement of cerebral hemodynamics is also mediated by nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase.

솔잎착즙액(PNE)은 엽록소 함유량(40.8 mg/100 g)이 높고 비타민 C도 다량함유(149 mg/100 g)하고 있어 기능성 식품으로 개발가능성이 높으며, 솔잎 발효액은 향미가 좋아지고 기능성이 높아져서 고부가가치가 크므로 발효의 조건과 활성도를 조사 분석하여 고기능성 솔잎발효액(SFPE)을 개발하고자 하였다. 솔잎자체발효(SFPE)에 관여하는 균을 발효단계에 따라 분리, 선발하고 동정하였다. GPYA배지에서 발효균을 스크린하여 Pichia galeiformis, Candida boidinii, Pichia species, Candida species1, Candida species2, Candida ooidensis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida karawaiewii를 선발하였으며, 발효가 진행됨에 따라 2년차에는 Candida boidinii, Candida species2, Candida ooidensis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae가 선발되었고, 3년차에는 Candida species1&2가 선발되어 Candida species2가 우점종으로 나타났다. 그러나 발효 4년차에는 어떤 균도 선발되지 않았다. Candida species2는 Candida ernobii와 99.65%의 homology를 보였다. E. coli, Bacillus subtilis와 Staphylococcus aureus에 대해서 SFPE를 농도별로 처리하였을 때 높은 항균활성을 확인하였다. SFPE 1, 4, 7의 항산화 활성은 $0.025{\mu}{\ell}/ml$의 농도로 처리하였을 경우 SFPE 1, 4, 7이 약 34.8%의 NBT scavenging의 활성을 보여주었고, $0.2{\mu}{\ell}/ml{\sim}0.3{\mu}{\ell}/ml$의 농도에서는 SFPE 1, 4, 7이 약 90%에 달하는 NBT scavenging 의 활성능력을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 전기생리학적 실험을 통하여 솔잎발효액이 쥐의 혈관수축 이완에 미치는 효과를 분석한 결과 Phenylephrine(PE)($10^6M$)으로 유발된 수축반응에 대해 SFPE를 0.15 mg/ml과 0.3 mg/ml을 첨가하였을 때 혈관이 다시 이완되었으며, ATP 민감성 $K^+$ 채널 억제제인 glibenclamide($10^5M$)을 처리하였을 때 SFPE 7 효과가 나타나지 않은 것으로 보아 SFPE의 혈관 이완작용이 세포막 ATP-민감성 $K^+$ 통로를 활성화시켜 이루어짐을 확인하였다.

Several studies have demonstrated that ginseng-berry extract has several beneficial properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and vasodilation properties. Ginseng-berry extract has also been shown to have the great potential against skin aging. Its beneficial mechanism against skin aging, however, has not been examined in detail. Also, the effects of ginseng-berry extract on microcirculation and skin cellular responses have not been investigated. Inhibition of skin microcirculation is the primary cause of many adverse biological effects, which is responsible for the skin aging and darkening. We investigated the beneficial effects of ginseng-berry extract on blood circulation, transcutaneous oxygen pressure in vivo model and also on skin microcirculation, cellular response and skin brightening effect in clinical trial. We found that oral administration of ginseng-berry extract markedly increased blood flow rate and transcutaneous $O_2$ pressure, but decreased transcutaneous $CO_2$ pressure. Also, it improved skin tone on cheeks, as is skin brighteness. These results suggest that ginseng-berry extract is a potent candidate for the treatment of skin aging and brightening by improving skin microcirculation.

In our search for natural products affecting blood circulation, the n-butanol fraction from whole plant of Glehnia littoralis Fr. Schm. (GLB) improved blood lipid parameters, and ameliorated obesity in high-fat-diet (HFD)-fed C57BL/6 mouse model. Hyperlipidemia was induced by high-fat-diet for 4 weeks, and then GLB was orally administrated with 400 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks. GLB-treated group showed that the gain in body weight was significantly attenuated, the levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride significantly lowered on blood chemical analysis, and significantly prolonged the mice bleeding time when compared with those of HFD control group. Concomitantly, phytochemical composition of GLB was investigated by HPLC-hyphenated spectroscopy, and two major phenolic compounds, rutin and chlorogenic acid were identified in the GLB. Taken together, these results indicate that GLB has cardiovascular protective effects and could be a natural medicine candidate for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

이 연구의 목적은 Bacillus polyfermentricus KJS-2 (BP2)와 Bacillus mojavensis KJS-3 (Moja3) 및 이들 균주 복합물의 투여가 혈청 지질 수준을 조절할 수 있는지에 대한 가능성을 밝히기 위한 것이다. 고지질혈증 유발 설치류를 대상으로 균주를 2주 동안 경구 투여한 후 혈액 내 세포수준의 변화, 대사기능 평가, 혈중 지질 수준의 변화를 관찰하였다. 백혈구내 주요세포변화를 측정한 결과 균주 투여에 따른 혈중 백혈구(WBC) 수준에는 크게 영향을 미치지는 않았다. 단위 혈액 내 혈소판(PLT) 수치는 Triton WR-1339처리시 18.4% 감소하였고 약물투여그룹 및 균주 투여그룹에서 다시 정상 그룹 수준으로 회복되었다(p<0.05). Triton WR-1339로 유도된 고지혈증에 의해 적혈구의 기능적인 변화는 초래하지 않았다. 혈중 AST, ALT, BUN, Creatinine 수치는 혼합 균주투여 그룹에서 모두 회복하여 간기능, 신장기능에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 혈중 지질수준 변화는 미생물 균주 투여그룹에서 트리글리세라이드(TG)와 총콜레스테롤(TC) 혈청 수치가 감소했고, 혈청 HDL 콜레스테롤 수치는 증가했다. BP2가 생산하는 SMA의 HMG-CoA reductase 저해율은 atorvastatin에 비해 1,000배 낮은 농도에서 비슷한 활성을 보였다. 또한, 고지혈증 유발 설치류에 미생물 균주의 복합투여는 식이에 영향을 미치지 않으면서 체중증가율은 감소시켰다. 따라서 BP2와 Moja3 균주 복합투여시 혈청 지질 수치를 조절함으로써 혈액 순환을 개선시킬 수 있을 것이다.

With the improvement of hemodialysis, the course of the disease in patient with endstage renal disease has been clearly improved. Nevertheless, among several shortcomings to our present mode of renal replacement therapy, cardiovascular complications have been the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Several factors such as anemia, arteriovenous shunting of blood, intermittent extracorporeal circulation and hypertension may be contributing. But little is known about the quantitative cardiac hemodynamic characteristics occurred during hemodialysis. The purpose of this study is to observe the sequential hemodynamic changes before, during and after the hemodialysis and to investigate reliable parameters in the detection of ventricular dysfunction. In the present study, equilibrium radionuclide cardiac angiography was performed and left and right ventricular volume indices, ejection phase indices of both ventricular, performance were measured in the 16 stable patients with chronic renal failure treated with maintenance hemodialysis sequentially i.e. before, during (early and late phase) and after the hemodialysis. The results obtained were as follows; 1) The indices of the left ventricular function were not changed during the hemodialysis but increased after the hemodialysis. 2) The indices of the right ventricular function(EF, SVI) were significantly decreased in the early phase (15, 30 minutes after starting extracorporeal circulation) but recovered after the hemodialysis. 3) The ratio of right ventricular to left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly decreased in the early phase and the lung volume indices were significantly increased at the same phase. As a conclusion, hemodialysis improves left ventricular function maybe due to increased contractility, and effects on the right ventricular function maybe due to the increased lung volume in the early phase of hemodialysis.
