The effects of Artemisia princeps var orientalis(mugwort), Circium japonicum var ussuriense (Unggungqui) on cadiovascular system in hyperlipidemic rats were investgated. Thirty rats devided into 5 experimental groups, were fed with the diet contained 1% chlesterol, 0.25% sodium cholate, 10% coconut oil and 5% lard by the same method of previous paper1). Contractile and relaxation responses in the isolated artria and thoracic aortae were measured and the morphological changes of the aortic endotherium from the rats were inspected. The responses of the right atrial to isoproterenol were significantly lower value in Ungungqui powder diet group(UP) and mugwort powder diet group(MP) than the control. The contraction force by injectin of phenylephrine and calcium in isolated thoracic aortae was significantly low value in the UP and the MP groups compaired to the control. The relaxation rate by acetylcholine in isolated thoracic aortae represented significantly higher value in UP than control. The morphological changes of endothelial cell suface was smallest in UP and the damage of endothelium by retarded in MP. Although Ungungqui and mugwort extract diet groups(UE, ME) were advanced, those were less than control.

To examine the effect of Artemisia princeps var orientalis on cardiovascular system, cadiovascular response from its water extracts were studied in the atria and aortae of normal rats. The extracts diminished spontaneous beat and contractile force in the left and right atria, and caused the relaxation of thoraic aortae. As for the blood pressure, the mugwort extract had a descending effect.

자외선조사는 흰쥐흉부대동맥의 휴지기장력에 거의 영향을 미치지 못했으나, phenylephrine으로 수축된 표본에서는 자외선조사로 내피세포가 존재하면 수축반응을, 내피세포가 제거되면 이완반응이 나타났다. 이 수축반응은 조사시간의 길이($10{\sim}320$초)에 비례하여 증가하였으나 이완반응은 그렇지 못하였다. 내피세포 존재표본에서 자외선의 수축반응은 phenylephrine농도의 증가($10^{-7}{\sim}10^{-5}M$) 그리고 $acetylcholine(10^{-6}M)$, $isoproterenol(10^{-7}M)$ 및 $nitroglycerin(3.5{\times}10^{-8} M)$의 추가투여시 크게 강화되었다. 그러나 $phentolamine(10^{-6}M)$ 또는 $LY83583(10^{-7},10^{-6}M)$의 추가투여시에는 자외선 수축반응이 억제 또는 이완반응으로 역전되었다. 내피세포 제거표본에서의 자외선 이완반응은 phenylephrine농도의 증가 그리고 isoproterenol, nitroglycerine, phentolamine 및 LY83583의 추가투여시 유의하게 감약되었다. 이상의 성적은 흰쥐 적출 흥부대동맥에서 자외선조사는 내피세포 존재유무에 따라 수축과 이완반응이 각각 나타나며, 수축반응은 자외선에 의한 EDRF 유리억제 또는 부분적으로 어떤 EDCF와도 관련이 있음을 시사하고 있다.

The inhibitory effects of glipizide on cromakalim-induced relaxation of aortae and hypotension in the anesthetized rats was examined. In rat thoracic aortic rings pre-contracted with norepinephrine, cromakalim produced a relaxation sustainedly. This relaxation was completely inhibited by pre- or post-treatment of glipizide. In the anesthetized rat, cromakalim produced a rapid and sustained fall in the arterial blood pressure. This hypotensive action of cromakalim was abolished by pre- or post-treatment of glipizide. It is suggested that glipizide is the potent inhibitor of cromakalim, $K^{+}$ channel opener, in the rats.

엉겅퀴 지상부 중 심혈관계에 대한 영향과 활성성분을 구명하기 위하여 S.D.계 흰쥐의 적출한 성장과 혈관에 대한 작용과 혈압을 측정하였고 그 유효성분을 분리하였다. 엉겅퀴 지상부의 MeOH 추출엑스를 계통분획법에 의하여 분획하여 심장과 혈관에 작용하는 BuOH층을 분리, 정제한 후 UV, IR, $^{1}H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$ 등의 분석방법으로 동정한 결과 flavonoid 배당체인 hispidulin $7-0-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}2)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$로 밝혀졌으며 흰쥐의 심박수 증가 및 심근과 흉부대동맥을 수축시켰고 혈압을 상승시키는 효과가 있었다.

Deer hemal nodes were studied by gross anatomy and light microscopy. Hemal nodes were scattered in the periphery of thoracic and abdominal aortae, and spherical or avoid in shape. A hemal node consisted of a thin capsule and a hilum, and had numerous small subcapsular and deep sinuses distended by a great number of erythrocytes. Although a few lymphatic nodules and tissues were seen in the parenchyma, no typical cortex and medulla was defined. Blood vessels occurred, but lymph vessel was not observed in nodes. The parenchyma of the hemal node consisted of many erythrocytes and lymphocytes, and a few granulocytes, plasma cells megakaryocytes and macrophages. The stroma was composed of reticular cells and fibers. The capsule and trabecula was a collagenous connective tissue with smooth myofibers. The above findings suggest that the hemal nodes are involved in blood storage, blood filtration and immune reaction.

Hemolymph nodes of the Korean native cattle were observed gross anatomically and light microscopically in this study. Hemolymph nodes of the Korean native cattle were found mainly at the periphery of the thoracic and abdominal aortae although there were some other parts to observe these small organs. These organs were small in size and spherical or ovoid in shape, and color of them was dark red or gray in common with red band. The hemolymph nodes were surrounded by a relatively thick connective tissue capsules composed of dense collagen fibers with many scattered smooth muscle fibers and there was a hilus in each node. The parenchyma was divided into an outer cortex and an inner medulla. A few primary and secondary lymph nodules were observed in the cortex and there were diffuse lymphatic tissues among them. The medullary cords consisted of diffuse lymphatic tissues were separated by the medullary sinuses which filled with erythrocytes. The afferent and efferent lymph vessels were observed at the periphery of the capsule and the hilus area, respectively. The stroma of the hemolymph nodes was composed of reticular cells and fibers, and the meshwork of the stroma was filled with many lymphocytes and erythrocytes, and a few macrophages and megakaryocytes etc. These findings suggest that the hemolymph node of the Korean native cattle is involved in blood filtration and immune reaction.

Microvel knitted double velour vascular grafts coated with biodegradable algin were evaluated in the canine experimental model as a new biologically coated Dacron graft. Three series of implantations were conducted involving the insertion of 6 mm diameter grafts in the abdominal aortae of mongrel dogs. The first series used the regular Microvel vascular grafts coated with algin,whereas the second and third series used Hemashield [collagen-coated grafts and the regular Microvel grafts with preclotting,respectively as control groups. Each series involved the implantation of one prosthesis for each of 2 preselected periods,namely 3 months and 6 months. In addition,algin-impregnated grafts were implanted for 4 hours,72 hours,2 weeks,and 4 weeks. All grafts were patent when the animals were sacrificed at intervals ranging from 4 hours to 6 months. Histological examinations revealed no obvious or significant differences in the healing characteristics of the algin-coated grafts and the control grafts after 3 months and 6 months of implantation. Endothelial cell-like cells were present on the midsegments of all grafts explanted from animals sacrificed after 3 months and 6 months,except a suspicious finding in the 3 month-implantation animal of a preclotted graft. With special stains,the algin became invisible between the polyester filaments during the first 3 months of implantation. This study has demonstrated that the use of a biodegradable algin coating is a feasible approach as biological sealants for textile arterial prostheses.

This study was performed to investigate the gross anatomical features and microscopical structures of the hemal nodes and the hemolymph nodes in the water deer (Hydropotes inermis) found in Kangwon-do, Korea. The hemal nodes and hemolymph nodes were observed mainly in the periphery of the thoracic and abdominal aortae of the animals. The size of hemal nodes was generally smaller than that of the hemolymph nodes, and the shape of the both organs was spherical or ovoid. The color of the hemal nodes was red or black while that of the hemolymph nodes was gray with red bands. The hemal nodes were surrounded by a thin connective tissue capsule and there were extensive subcapsular and deep sinuses distended by a great number of erythrocytes. Although a few number of lymphatic nodules and small areas of diffuse lymphatic tissues were observed in the parenchyma, no typical cortex and medulla were defined in the hemal node. Small numbers of blood vessels were found at the connective tissue capsule but lymph vessel was not observed microscopically in this organ. The hemolymph nodes were covered by a relatively thick connective tissue capsule and there was a hilus in each node. The parenchyma was divided into cortex and medulla. The cortex was composed of a few numbers of lymphatic nodules and some diffuse lymphatic tissues. The medulla comprised medullary sinus and cords. Afferent and efferent lymph vessels were observed at the periphery of the capsule and the hilus, respectively. The subcapsular and medullary sinuses were not extensive but filled with small numbers of erythrocytes. The stroma of hemal node and hemolymph node was composed of reticular cells and fibers, and the capsule and trabecula consisted of collagenous fibers with smooth muscle fibers.
