This study was conducted to observe the cause of injury of fig plant. Nitrogen dioxide gas can be evolved at low pH or reduced in soil. Fig plant cultivated with nutrient solution was wilted or withered. Injury symptom for nutrient solution containing nitrous acid was worse as pH of soil decreased. However, increase in pH of nutrient solution treated with increasing $Ca(OH)_2$ solution prevented nutrient solution from producing nitrogen dioxide gas. Recovery of the fig plant by pH increase indicated that the cause of injury was nitrogen dioxide gas.

미량원소인 붕소(B)의 시비농도를 인위적으로 조절한 관비용액으로 '금향', '매향' 및 '설향' 딸기를 재배하면서 시비수준이 생육에 미치는 영향, 생육을 우수하게 유지할 수 있는 식물체의 한계농도, 그리고 B 과잉시비로 유발되는 생리장해의 특징을 구명하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 0.25mM B 시비구에서 세 종류 딸기 품종의 생체중 및 건물 중이 가장 무거웠고 관부직경도 가장 굵었지만 B 시비농도가 높아짐에 지상부 생장량이 급격하게 감소하였다. B가 과다하게 시비되면 신생엽에서는 황화현상, 중간에 위치한 잎들에서는 잎 가장자리의 갈변 및 괴사현상, 그리고 하위엽들이 괴사하면서 안쪽으로 말리는 증상이 나타났다. 하위엽에서 나타나는 증상은 '금향'의 경우 2mM 이상의 처리구, '매향'과 '설향'은 0.5mM 이상의 시비구에서 잎 선단부의 갈변 및 괴사, 그리고 잎 내부에 갈변 및 괴사현상이 나타났다. B 시비농도가 증가하여도 다량원소중 양이온인 K, Ca 및 Mg 함량에는 차이가 나타나지 않았으며, 음이온인 인산 함량이 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. B 시비농도가 증가할 때 '금향'과 '설향' 딸기에서 Fe 함량이 감소하였으며, Zn 함량이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 건물중에 기초한 지상부 생장량의 90%와 이 때의 B 함량을 정상생육을 위한 최대한계점으로 간주할 때 '금향', '매향' 및 '설향' 딸기에서 식물체내 B 함량이 각각 25.1, 44.2 및 $62.5mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ 이하를 유지하도록 B 시비농도를 조절하여야 과잉피해를 방지할 수 있다고 판단하였다.

It has been reported that 50~70% of child asthma, bronchial asthma in adult, and allergic rhinitis are caused by house dust mite. The antigen extracted from house dust mite has been used for effective treatment against allergic diseases and for clinical test. This house dust mite antigen has been entirely imported from abroad. However, the composition and content of all the antigen imported vary from a brand to other brand. Thus, we need to standardize the composition and content of the antigen by developing it domestically. We proceeded pre-clinically general pharmacological test and toxicological test that are required for the eventual human use by utilizing the house dust mite cultured in Korea. In order to obtain information on general pharmacological tests such as its toxic signs in tissues or organs which are mainly affected, we examined the effect of house dust mite on the tensions of the isolated tissues and heart rates of cardiac muscle by recording with force displacement transducer of polygragh (Glass Model 7). We determined lethality of antigen extracted from house dust mite in mice and guinea pigs. We examined acute and subacute toxicity by administrating house dust mite extract of 500, 100, 20 times of the expected clinical dose. In male and female mice and guinea pigs, given a sigle intraperitoneal dose of antigen, $LD_{50}$ values were over 5.0 $\textrm{m}{\ell}$/kg, respectively. In animals administrated with house dust mite, there were no significant change of clinical symptom, body weight, food consumption, water consumption, eye examinations, urinalysis, blood biochemistry, and histopathological examinations in any animals tested. We found no toxic effect of this house dust mite. These results show that the house dust mite cultured by us could be used in the development of medicine against allergic diseases caused by the antigen of house dust mite.

This study was conducted to evaluate the safety of a recombinant human Factor VIII(GC-$\gamma$ AHF) manufactured by Korea Green Cross Company with different technology according to the Regulation of Korean Food and Drug Administration (l 998. 12. 3). In acute toxicity test, both genders of Sprague-Dawley rats and Beagle dogs were administered intravenously with GC-$\gamma$ AHF of three doses (3,125, 625 and 125 IU/kg), and single dose of 3,125 IU/kg, respectively. No dead animal and abnormal autopsy findings were found in Control and GC-$\gamma$ AHF treated group. Therefore, the 50% lethal dose ($LD_{50}$) of GC-$\gamma$ AHF was conidered to be higher than 3,125 IU/kg in rats and dogs. In the four weeks repeated intravenous toxicity study, GC-$\gamma$ AHF was administrated intravenosly to both genders of rats and dogs with 3 doses (500, 150, 50 IU/kg). There were neither dead animals nor significant changes of body weights during the experimental Period. In addition, no significant GC-$\gamma$ AHF related changes were found in clinical sign, urinalysis and other finding. Statistically changes were observed in hematological, biochemical and organ weight parameters of treated groups: however these changes were not dose dependent. No histopathological lesion were observed in both control and treated animals. Above data suggest that no observed adverse effect level of test materials in rats and dogs might be over 500 IU/kg/day in this study. In ocular irritation test, any injury on iris, conjunctiva and cornea in rabbits were not observed. The acute ocular irritation index (A.O.I.), mean ocular irritation index (M.O.I.) and Day-7 individual ocular irritation Index (I.O.I.) of GC-$\gamma$ AHF were 0. In the primary skin Irritation test, the primary irritation index (P.I.I.) oj GC-$\gamma$ AHF were 0. Therefore, the GC-$\gamma$ AHF is considered not to have the primary skin and eye toxicity in rabbits. In active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) test, GC-$\gamma$ AHF and GC-$\gamma$ AHF emulsified with Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) did not induce any symptom of anaphylactic shock in guinea pigs. In passive cutaneous anaphylxis (PCA) test, after sensitization with antisera of GC-$\gamma$ AHF sensitized mice, blue spots were observed on the hypodermis of back of rats, but diameter of each spot was smaller than 5 mm in each test groups except the positive control group. Based on the results of this study, GC-$\gamma$ AHF is not conidered to have any antigenic potential. In conclusion, at levels of up to 500 IU/kg, GC-$\gamma$ AHF did not produce treatment-related toxicity under the conditions of these acute-, four week repeated-toxicity, primary skin and eye toxicity, and antigenicity test.

미량원소인 Cu 시비농도를 인위적으로 조절하여 '금향', '매향' 및 '설향' 딸기를 재배하면서 시비수준이 생장에 미치는 영향을 구명하였다. 또한 생육을 우수하게 유지할 수 있는 식물체의 Cu 한계농도를 밝혀 딸기 재배 시 영양장해를 진단할 수 있는 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있도록 하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. Cu 시비농도에 영향을 받은 세 종류 딸기 품종의 건물중에서 '금향'과 '매향'은 0.25mM-1.0mM 시비구 간, '설향' 딸기의 경우 0.25mM-3.0mM 시비구 간통계적인 유의차가 없었고, '설향'이 '금향'이나 '매향'보다 Cu 과다시비에 대한 내성이 강함을 알 수 있었다. Cu가 과다하게 시비되어 식물체의 흡수량이 증가하면 신엽에서 엽맥 간 황화현상이나 엽맥 사이에 직선형태의 황화현상이 그리고 하위엽에서는 잎 가장자리가 주황색으로 변하는 증상이 나타났다. 관비용액의 Cu 시비농도를 증가시켜도 세 종류 딸기의 식물체 내 P, K, Ca 및 Mg 함량은 뚜렷한 경향을 발견할 수 없었다. 미량원소 중 Cu 함량은 시비농도가 높아짐에 따라 식물체 내 함량이 직선적으로 증가하였으며, Fe 및 Mo 함량은 관비용액의 Cu 농도에 대한 반응이 뚜렷하지 않았고, 경향도 발견할 수 없었다. '금향', '매향' 및 '설향' 딸기의 최대생장량보다 10% 적은 생장량과 이 때의 식물체내 Cu 함량을 정상 생장을 위한 최대한계점으로 간주하면 '금향' $71.4mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$, '매향' $57.9mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$, 그리고 '설향' $74.81mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ 이하를 유지하도록 Cu 시비농도를 조절해야 한다고 판단하였다.

Dehydroevodiamine-HCl (DHED), which is a component separated from Evodia rutaecarpa Bentham, has novel anticholinesterase and antiamnesic activities in a scopolamine-induced amnesia model. Several studies suggest that DHED might be an effective drug for Alzheimer's disease and a vascular type of dementia. DHED was at dose levels of 0, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg/day administered intraperitoneally to Sprague-Dawley male rats for 60 days before mating and to females from 14 days before mating to 7 days after mating. Effects of the DHED on general symptom and reproductive performance of parent animals and embryonic development were examined. In male parents, whereas no death was observed, reduction in the increase rate of body weight was found at 200 mg/kg. In female parents, both of the mating performance and the fertility of parent animals were decreased at 200 mg/kg, but not significantly. In 200 mg/kg treated group, the fetal death rate was increased but total fetuses showed no changes compared to the control group. There were no malformed F1 fetuses in all groups.

Background and Purpose : Chunghyul-dan has been widely used in the Department of Cardiovascular ＆ Neurologic Diseases, Kyung Hee Oriental Medical Center to prevent stroke by lowering serum cholesterol level. Previous experimental and clinical studies revealed that Chunghyul-dan had therapeutic effects on hyperlipidemia by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase and pancreatic lipase. It was also reported that Chunghyul-dan showed an anti-oxidation effect by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting nitric oxide synthesis. Therefore, we examined the safety of Chunghyul-dan on all subjects who had been treated with it. Methods : We performed a retrospective study by reviewing the medical records of those who had been administrated Chunghyul-dan at Kyung Hee Oriental Medical Center from February 8,2001 to December 31,2002. The subjects' general characteristics (gender, age, medical history, and present illness), recorded adverse effects, and the results of laboratory findings were obtained and analyzed to assess the clinical safety of Chunghyul-dan. Results : Six hundred fifty six subjects were treated with Chunghyul-dan. Clinical adverse effects appeared in 13 subjects, the major symptom being indigestion (8 subjects). The apparent frequency of adverse effects was much lower than that in previous reports on the safety of certain medications. On investigation of laboratory findings, we could not find any hepatic or renal toxicity. Conclusion : We suggest that our results contribute towards confirming the safety of Chunghyul-dan by offering clinical evidence.
