Objectives This study was done to investigate the safety of Soyeom pharmacopuncture solution manufactured with freezing dryness method to use eye drop. Methods The eye irritation test of this material was performed according to the Regulation of Korea Food & Drug Administration(2005. 10. 21, KFDA 2005-60). After Soyeom pharmacopuncture solution was medicated in the left eye of the rabbits, the auther observed eye irritation of the cornea, iris, conjunctiva at 1, 2, 3, 4 & 7day. Results 1. After Soyeom pharmacopuncture solution was medicated in the left eye of the rabbits, there wasn't physical problem at 9 rabbits. 2. After Soyeom pharmacopuncture solution was medicated in the left eye of the rabbits, there wasn't eye irritation of the cornea, iris, conjunctiva at 1, 2, 3, 4 & 7day. Conclusions I suggested that Soyeom pharmacopuncture solution didn't induced eye irritation in rabbits.

This study was attempted to investigate the pharmacokinetic interaction of vancomycin (10 mg/kg, i.v.) and probenecid (7.5. 15, and 30 mg/kg, oral) in rabbits. The area under curve (AUC) of plasma vancomycin concentration was significantly increased (p<0.01) in rabbits when the probenecid was coadministrated. Volume of distribution (Vd) was significantly decreased (p<0.05) in rabbits coadministrated with probenecid (15 and 30 mg/kg) and total body clearance (CLt) was decreased significantly (p<0.05. p<0.01) in rabbits coadministrated with probenecid (7.5, 15 and 30 mg/kg). There was significant correlation between AUC and probenecid dose. From the results of this experiment, it is desirable to adjust dosage regimen of vancomycin for reduction of side or toxic effect when the probenecid is coadministered in clinical practice.

Adult male and female Setaria cervi worms were implanted in the peritoneal cavity of rabbits to develop microfilaraemia. These infected rabbits revealed non-significant rise in total protein, significant reduction in albumin content and albumin-globulin ratio and significant increase in globulin and total bilirubin. The levels of total cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen and urea in blood were elevated from day 20 to 40, 25 to 70 and 30 to 70 respectively whereas, uric acid remained high from day 25 to 50 and creatinine from 15th day to 50th day of worm implantation. Biochemical changes suggested the involvement of liver and kidney in the infected rabbits.

The effects of the ether extract of Zizyphi spinosi semen and lithium chloride on the serum ceruloplasmin level in blood of rabbits were examined. An oral dose 1gm/kg/day of the ether extract and oral dose of lithium chloride 1 Meq/kg/day with 1gm/kg/day of the ether extract were administered respectively to rabbits for eight days, The results are: 1)Serum ceruloplasmin level in blood of the rabbits treated with the ether extract was higher than that of the control group. 2)The level of the rabbits treated with both the ether extract and lithium chloride was higher than that of the control. 3)The administration of lithium chloride alone also increased ceruloplasmin blood level.

This study was performed to assess the effects of exogenous collagen gel for the re-epithelialization of partial thickness skin wound healing in rabbits. Adult male rabbits (New Zealand White Rabbit) 1.5~2 kg, were used for experimental animals. Skin wounds (1.5$\times$2 cm length) were created bilaterally on the flank of 10 rabbits and then treated a periods of 9 days. Wounds on the experimental site were treated with exogenous collagen gel as well as fabric material gauze dressing. Control site wounds were covered with fabric material gauze dressing alone. Histological findings indicated that the epithelial migration of the experimental site of rabbits was far more rapid than that in the other control wound sites. Moreover, exogenous collagen gel provided a moist environment to keep wound clean, and facilitate keratinocyte proliferation. The wound dressed with exogenous collagen gel demonstrated a significant increase in the healing rate and re-epithelialization.

Three tropical legumes, very different in growth form, but believed to be of potential value for animal production were evaluated by substituting the leaf meal made from each for lucerne at the level used in a standard diet for growing rabbits (50%). Each leaf meal had a nitrogen content of close to 3.5% and contributed about 60% of the crude protein in the diet. Albizia lebbeck and Clitoria ternatea showed no evidence of toxic or antinutrient effects. The protein digestibility of the complete diets were 66 and 61% respectively, implying a protein digestibility of the leaf of at least 50%. Both species would be suitable for practical production diets for rabbits and should be excellent for ruminants. In contrast, the diet containing Desmanthus virgatus had a protein digestibility of only 40%, implying that only about 15% of the leaf protein was available. The leaves showed marked non-enzymic browning on drying. When dried this species is clearly unsuitable as a feed for rabbits and possibly also for ruminants. However, it may well be valuable as fresh forage.

In domestic rabbits, pasteurellosis is a primary respiratory disease entity caused by Pasteurella multocida. Respiratory pasteurellsos in rabbits is highly contagious due to dissemination of the organism in the nasal discharge (Benirschke, et al., 1978). The disease reflects a varied and complex host-parasite relationship. Acute infection with high mortality occurs sporadically especially in stressed rabbits less than 10 weeks old, in the form either an enzootic pneumonia, infection of the upper respiratory tract or septicemia. In addition to respiratory form, infection with P. multocida results in a variety of disease processes in rabbits including rhinitis, otitis media, otitis interna, abscesses, metritis, orchitis and meningoencephalaitis (Manning et al., 1989). The deleterious effects of pasteurellosis are common and pose serious problems for rabbit breeders and researchers (Flatt, 1974). (omitted)

The pharmacokinetics of acetaminophen administered intravenously(20mg/kg) was investigated in the rabbits of carbon tetrachloride induced hepatic failure. The blood level, the total AUC and the biological half life of acetaminophen were increased significantly in hepatic failure rabbits compared with those of normal rabbits. The urinary excretion and the overall elimination rate of acetaminophen were decreased significantly in hepatic failure rabbits. There was significant relationship between GOT value and AUC or biological half life of acetaminophen.

Background and Objectives : The aim of the this study is to determine the efficacy of an external prosthesis made of ringed Polytetrafluoroethylene to prevent Postanastomotic stenosis after surgical correction of extensive tracheal defects in rabbits. Materials and Methods : Thirty rabbits were used, divided into two groups of 15 animals each. Group A rabbits underwent resection of six-ring segments of the cervical trachea and tracheal end-to-end anastomosis. The Procedure used in group B was similar to that used in group A. but the tracheal anastomosis was supported by an external ringed polytetrafluoroethylene prosthesis. After six months, rabbits were killed and tracheas were resected and then compared the postanastomotic tracheal stenosis using morphometry. Results : Anteroposterior diameter, transverse diameter, cross sectional area and intra luminal perimeter of trachea was greater in group B than group A. Also inflammatory changes of mucosa and submucosa were greater in group A than group B. Conclusion : A ringed PTFE as a external stent was effective to prevent tracheal stenosis resulting from the extensive tracheal resection and tracheal reconstruction in rabbits.
