The present study was undertaken to investigate effects of Perillae Folium juice on the respiration and blood pressure in cats. Also studied was the mechanism of depressor action of PFJ. The results obtained are as follows; 1) Following administration of 0.2 ml/kg, 0.4 ml/kg and 0.6 ml/kg PFJ into cats the maximum depressor responses observed were 48.5+3.6 mmHg, 56.8+4.3 mmHg and 71.1+2.9 mmHg respectively. 2) Depressor responses to PFJ were blocked makedly by atropine and partially by propranolol. Therefore it is strongly suggested that depressor action of PFJ results mainly from cholinergic effect and partly from activity of ${\beta}-receptor$. 3) After administration of PFJ into cats tachypnea preceded by a short period of apnea was observed invariably.

The interaction between probencid and nalidixic acid was studied pharmacokinetically in rabbits infused with or without acidic soiution (5% $NH_4Cl$). The results were as fellows. The blood level and the area under the blood concentration curve of nalidixic acid administered intravenously was elevated by coadministration of probenecid and more elevated in rabbits infused with acidic solution. Probenecid inhibited the urinary excretion of nalidixic acid in rabbits infused with adidic solution. Therefore, biolgcal half-life of nalidixic acid was prolonged by coadministration of probencid.

In this study the influence of Bradykinin, a biogenic polypeptide, on the excretory function of the dog kidney was investigated, utilizing the clearance and stop-flow method. The results are summarized as follows; 1) Bradykinin administered intravenously elicited a marked antidiuresis. 2) When given into the renal artery, however, prompt increase of the urine flow, sodium excretion and free water clearance without significant change in the glomerular filtration rate ensued. 3) It was also effective during an osmotic diuresis with 10% Mannitol infusion, though the response was not so marked. 4) The stop-flow experiment showed that sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubules is inhibited by the infusion of bradykinin into the renal artery. It was thus concluded that the diuretic effect of bradykinin given intra-arterially results from the inhibition of sodium transport in the proximal tubules.

Excretory urography is a procedure where opacification of the kidneys, renal pelvic diverticula, ureters, and urinary bladder is a result of renal excretion of an intravenously administered iodinated contrast agent providing both anatomical and functional assessment. And ultrasonography is a non-invasive modality to evaluate the important anatomic information concerning the size, shape, and internal architecture of kidney even in the presence of impaired renal function or abdominal fluid. We describe four dogs with urological signs diagnosed with excretory urography and ultrasonography. Parients showed a variety of clinical signs including vomiting, hematuria, anorexia, abdominal pain, and abdominal distension. The hydronephrosis was diagnosed in case 1, 2, and 3 that had pelvic dilation, dilation of pelvic recesses, ureteral dilation. In case 3, proximal ureteral rupture was diagnosed with evidence of contrast media leakage was seen in proximal ureter. In case 4, the rupture of urinary bladder was diagnosed with leakage of contrast media through its ventral portion.

A recombinant human erythropoietin (rHu-EPO), was administered intravenously to beagle dogs at doses of 100, 500 and 2, 500IU/kg/day for 30 days. There were no significant clinical signs such as body weight, food intake, physical and opthalmic examination, urine analysis, etc. Any toxic response was not observed except for enlarged spleen and extramedullary hematopoiesis. No observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of rHu-EPO for 30 days was considered to be 100IU/kg/day in beagle dogs.

The subchronic toxicity study of rHuEPO, a newly developed recombinant erythropoietin, was investigated for 13 weeks in Beagle dogs intravenously treated with doses of 100, 500 and 2,500 lU/kg/day. There were no significant changes in body weight, food intake, physical and opthalmic examination, urine analysis, etc. Any toxic response was not observed except for enlarged spleen and extramedullary hematopoiesis. These results indicate that the no-observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of rHuEPO is 100 lU/kg in Beagle dogs.

The fact that colloidal particulates of rdaiogold are mainly and effectively eliminated from the blood stream by phagocytic activity of Kupffer's cells of the liver has been successfully adopted to the diagnosis if certain liver diseases and the same principle has opened a new avenue to the study of the organ by obtaining scan. Indeed, the latter procedure has been widely used for the detection of space-occupying lesions of cirrhosis of the liver. Nevertheless problem of differential diagnosis of monochromatic "cold" areas or "mottling" of the internal structure on the scan limited the value of this diagnostic modality. The present investigation is aimed at improving intepretation of photoscan findings with the aid of blood clearance rate of the intravenously injected colloidal $^{198}Au$.

Effect of grape seed extract (GSE) against Candida albicans was examined under in-vitro and in-vivo conditions. The GSE was extracted in ethanol. In-vitro results from an agar diffusion susceptibility assay showed the GSE inhibited C. albicans growth. This anticandidal effect was at dose-dependency. In experiments with animals, mice that received the GSE (0.5 mg per mice), intravenously (i.v.), before i.v.-infection wish viable C. albicans yeast cells survived longer than diluent (buffer)-received control mice. In contrast, when GSE was given to mice after the mice were infected with the yeast cells, these mice showed a similar survival rate as compared to control mice that received no treatment with the GSE. Taken together, these data indicate that GSE has prophylactic effect but not therapeutic effect against disseminated candidiasis.

Antiinflammatory action of phytolaccosides B and E isolated from the roots of Phytolacca americana was investigated and compared with that of aescin. Phytolaccoside B, when it was administered intravenously, exerted a potent inhibitory effect on the transudation caused by absorptive sponge pellet implanted s.c. in rats and on carrageenin induced edema in rats. Phytolaccoside E showed a weaker action than Phytolaccoside B did. Hemolytic potency of the saponins was decreased in the order of aescin, phytolaccosides B and E showing a same tendency as in antiinflammatory action. The experimental result suggests that the mode of action of phytolaccosides is the same as that of aescin.

This study was designed to evaluate an acute and subacute intravenous dose toxicity of a new cephalosporin antibiotic agent, IDC-7181 in 7-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats. IDC-7181 was intravenously injected to rats at dose levels of 0, 3.2, 16, 80, 400 and 2, 000 mg/kg/day for single dose toxicity study and at dose levels of 0, 10, 50 and 250 mg/kg/day for 4 week-repeated dose toxicity study. All rats survived throughout the study periods.(omitted)
