The effect of Korean ginseng(Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) on glucose and protein metabolism was studied. In this experiment, powdered Panax ginseng was administered to rats for 6 weeks. The rats were divided into three groups, namely, I, II, and IIII, each group consisting of 15 rats. The amounts of powdered Panax ginseng which were added to the basal diet for the diets of group II and group III were 2.5 g/kg and 12.5g/kg, respectively. The group I was used as the control group fed the basal diet. The weight gains of the rats fed the ginseng containing diets were higher than those of the control rats, tut not significant. The serum glucose levels of all ginseng-treated rats were decreased with significance (P<0.001). In the rats fed the ginseng containing diet (2.5 g/kg of diet), there were no significant differences in contents of albumin, ${\alpha}_1-globulin$, ${\alpha}_2-globulin$, ${\gamma}-globulin$ and A/G ratio compared with those of the control rats, however, the levels of total protein and ${\beta}-globulin$ were increased significantly (p<0.005). The levels of total protein and ${\alpha}_2-globulin$ obtained from the rats fed the ginseng containing diet(12.5 g/kg of diet) revealed higher than those of the control rats (p<0.05), the contents of ${\alpha}_1-globulin$, ${\beta}-globulin$ and ${\gamma}-globulin$ were also increased significantly (p<0.001). Albumin level and A/G ratio obtained from the rats of group III were lower than those of the control group, especially A/G ratio was statistically significant (p<0.001).

One of the cardinal findings of the renal diseases is proteinuria, which appears in the early phase of kidney diseases and is very important in diagnosis, prognosis and decision making in the treatment process and results of the treatment. The study subjects were 126 patients who visited the nephrology department of Kangbuk Samsung Hospital. Serum was requested for urine protein electrophoresis. Total protein was measured with Bayer Advia 1650 (Biuret). Quantitation of each fraction was done by multiplying the percentage of each fraction by the total protein. Serum creatinine and BUN were also measured with Bayer Advia 1650 (Jaffe and Urease). Serum protein EP was done with REP(rapid electrophoresis) using Helena Kit reagents (REP Ultra SPE Kit, Ponceau S stain, Acetic acid, Methanol, EP Control). Concentrated urine was used for urine protein EP. The SPSS package was used for statistics analysis. Percentage and quantitation of the level of albumin in renal diseases were significantly lower than those in healthy controls. Total protein was correlated with albumin. In terms of proportion, ${\alpha}1$-globulin, ${\alpha}2$-globulin, ${\beta}$-globulin, and ${\gamma}$-globulin fractions were increased in the disease group. But, in the quantified level, ${\alpha}2$-globulin was increased and ${\beta}$-globulin and ${\gamma}$-globulin were decreased. ESRD patients showed an increased secretion of high molecular proteins in urine protein EP. A decreased level in serum total protein correlated with the decreased level of serum albumin and the total amount of urine total protein. This study revealed the variety in the level of serum and urine proteins and their subgroups by EP.

Serum proteins of Korean native dogs (Gyeongju DongGyeong dogs) was analyzed by capillary electrophoresis system. Electrophoretic patterns showed six fractions. Total serum protein and ratio of albumin to globulin were $5.99{\pm}0.83$ (g/dl) and $1.41{\pm}0.29$ (g/dl) in DongGyeong dogs. Relative percentages of total serum albumin and $\alpha-1$, $\alpha-2$, $\beta-1$, $\beta-2$, $\gamma$-globulin fraction were $57.94{\pm}5.43$, $3.15{\pm}2.30$, $7.49{\pm}4.09$, $9.43{\pm}3.50$, $7.63{\pm}5.70$, and $14.36{\pm}7.63$, respectively. It was observed that $\beta$-globulin was higher than other fractions. The most striking alternation with age was founded in the $\gamma$-fractions. Also, it was observed that ratios of albumin to globulin in DongGyeong dogs were higher than on other dogs.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of Korean ginseng and tocopherol on serum testosterone level, protein metabolism and swimming endurance in rats. Powdered ginseng (2.5 g/kg) and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ (250 mg/kg) were added directly into the basal diet of rats feeding for 6 weeks. The serum testosterone level of ginseng-treated rats had no difference from that of control rats, but the level was slightly increased in tocopherol-treated rats. In the case of ginseng-treated rats, there were no significant difference in the contents of albumin, ${\alpha}_1-globulin$, ${\alpha}_2-globulin$, ${\gamma}-globulin$ and A/G ratio compared with those of the control rats, however, the levels of total protein and ${\beta}-globulin$ were increased significantly(p<0.005). Total protein value of tocopherol-treated rats was higher than that of the control rats(p<0.005). In contrast, albumin content was slightly decreased. The contents of ${\alpha}_1-globulin$, ${\alpha}_2-globulin$, ${\beta}-globuiln$ and ${\gamma}-globulin$ were higher in the rats fed tocopherol diet that those obtained from the control rats. Accordingly A/G value was markedly decreased (p<0.001). In swimming endurance test, both Korean ginseng and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ did not appear to have any effect on rats' stamina.

To observe the changes of serum proteins according to the process of Babesia gibsoni(B gibsoni) infection, the babesia protozoa($10^8/kg$) were inoculated into the cephalic vein of healthy dogs. The serum proteins of experimentally infected dogs were separated by using cellulose acetate electrophoresis. The results obtained were as follows; 1. Cellulose acetate electrophoresis was fractionated to total 6 of bands such as, albumin, ${\alpha}_1$, ${\alpha}_2$, ${\beta}_1$, ${\beta}_2$ and $\gamma$-globulin. 2. The concentration of total protein was shown a decreasing tendency after B gibsoni infection. Albumin and A/G ratio were lowered through all periods of the infection, but they were not significant changes. 3. The level of ${\alpha}_1$-globulin was significantly(p<0.05) incresed in early stage of the infection. 4. The levels of ${\alpha}_2$ and total $\alpha$-globulin were shown highly significant decreases (p<0.01) through all periods of the infection. 5. The levels of ${\beta}_1$ and total $\beta$-globulin had highly significant changes (p<0.01) that was increased in early stage of infection and decreased later. 6. The level of $\gamma$-globulin was seen to be constantly increased through all periods of infection. It was a highly significant change (p<0.01). 7. Plasma protein: fibrinogen (PP:F) ratio was shown a temporally significant increase (p<0.05) following the decrease in early infection.

Surgically collected cystic fluid of Taenia solium metacestodes from patients of intracranial cystic lesion were compared in their protein composition with those from naturally infected pigs in Cheju Do, Korea and Ecuador. In non-denaturing discontinuous-polyacryla aide gel electrophoresis (disc-PAGE) , no discernible differences were recognized in banding patterns between the cystic fluids from Cheju Do and Ecuador, and between the cystic quids from pigs and human lesions except wider bands that corresponded to human albumin and T-globulin (in 4 of 9 patients). In reducing SDS-PAGE, bands in the cystic Ruid from Ecuador showed the same banding pattern with that from Cheju Do but two bands of 21 and 17 kDa were stained darker. Cystic quids (rom patients revealed the same protein compositions of the major protein bands of 94, 64, 15, 10 and 7 kDa as in the cystic fluid of pig origin, but human albumin (66 kDa), heavy and light chains of gamma globulin (55 and 22.5 kDa) were contaminated in 4 of 9 cystic fluids. Human CSF proteins seem to have been contaminated during cystic ftuid collection. In any cystic quid from patients, the majcr Protein component was 150 kDa which was subdivided into 15, 10 and 7 kDa in reducing SDS-PAGE.

Purpose : Several methods of IV ${\gamma}-globulin$(IVG) infusion are effective in the treatment of autoimmune disease, including idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP). But it is not known which method is more effective in the treatment of ITP. The effectiveness of these two methods of IVG infusion was studied in terms of platelet recovery rate, side effects and recurrence rate. Methods : Forty seven patients with acute ITP in the department of pediatrics, Eulji University Hospital from January 1995 to June 2001 were enrolled. We assesssed the treatment effects of 47 patients blindly selected; IV ${\gamma}-globulin$ 2 g/kg/day in one day(treatment group A, n=25), 400 mg/kg/day in five days(treatment group B, n=22). Results : Treatment group A increased platelet count more rapidly on the 2nd, 4th and 6th day of treatment than treatment group B. Side effects like fever, chill and vomiting were more frequent in treatment group A than treatment group B. The platelet count on the sixth day of treatment showed a greater increase in the cases which had side effects than in the cases which did not. There was no difference between the two groups in the recurrence rate. Conclusion : IV ${\gamma}-globulin$ 2 g/kg/day in one day increases platelet count more rapidly than 400 mg/kg/day in five days, and is favorable for the prevention of a severe hemorrhagic episode like early intracranial hemorrhage.
