Bradykinin modulates the sympathetic system in various ways. It can stimulate sympathetic neurotransmission directly through presynaptic receptors (Llona et al., 1991) and indirectly via its hypotensive or nociceptive effects which activate central and ganglionic mechanisms (Kuo and Keeton, 1991; Dray et al., 1988). However, it has been found that bradykinin can also liberate prostaglandins in peripheral tissues, thereby attenuating the release of catecholamines(Starke et al., 1977). (omitted)

리튬(Lithium)은 임상에서 조울병 치료에 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 흰쥐 적출 관류부신 으로부터 catecholamine (CA) 분비에 대한 리튬의 작용을 검색 하고 그 기전을 규명하고자 하여 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 정상 Krebs-bicarbonate 용액내의 $Na^+$ (118.4 mM)을 리튬으로 대치하여 관류하였을때 CA 분비는 점차적인 증가를 나타내었으며, $30{\sim}60$분에서 최대 분비작용을 나타내었다. Li-Krebs액은 모든 실험에서 부신정맥을 통해서 2시간동안 관류하였다. Li-Krebs에 의한 CA 분비반응은 $Ca^{++}-free$ Krebs액으로 전처치한 상태에서 유의하게 억제되었다. 이와같은 Li-Krebs 액에 의한 CA 분비작용은 nicardipine ($10^{-6}$ M), TMB-8 ($10^{-5}$ M) 및 chlorisondamine ($10^{-6}$ M) 등을 20 분간 각각 전처치 하였을때 현저히 감약되었으나 pirenzepine ($2{\times}10^{-6}$ M)에 의해서는 별다른 영향을 받지 않았다. $Na^+$ pump 억제제인 ouabain ($10^{-4}$ M)으로 20 분간 전처치한 후 Li-Krebs에 의한 CA 유리작용은 뚜렷이 억제되었다. 더우기 tetrodotoxin ($5{\times}10^{-7}$ M)으로 20 분간 전처치 하였을때도 Li-Krebs에 의한 CA 분비반응은 현저히 감약되었다. 이상과 같은 실험결과를 종합하여 보면, 리튬은 흰쥐 부신수질의 크롬 친화성 세포내에 측적됨으로써 칼슘의존성의 CA 분비작용을 일으키며, 이러한 분비작용은 i) 크롬친화성 세포의 탈분극과 이어서 voltage-sensitive 칼슘채널의 개방과 ii) $[Li]_i-[Ca]_0$ counter-transport system의 활성화를 통한 두가지 작용기전에 의해서 매개되는 것으로 생각된다.

교감신경계는 광범위한 각종 기능의 항상성 조절에 결정적인 역할을 하고 있으며, 저산소증, 출혈, 통증 등에 따른 스트레스 반응에 의해 자극되어 심박출량의 증가 및 조직으로 산소공급 향상을 위한 혈류 조절 반응이 나타나게 되나 주어진 환경에 따라 반응 정도는 다양하게 보고되고 있다. 고농도의 $N_2O$로 인해 발생된 저산소혈증 상태에서 혈역학적 변화가 저산소혈증을 발견하는 지표로서 유용한 지를 관찰하기 위해 본 실험에서는 마취후 기계적 환기를 시행한 한국산 잡견에서 고농도의 $N_2O$를 이용하여 흡입산소농도를 점진적으로 감소시킬 때 발생된 저산소혈증이 혈중 catecholarnine의 분비와 혈액 가스 및 혈역학적 변화를 비교 관찰하였다. Halothane으로 흡입 마취하여 기계적 환기를 시행한 뒤 10 마리의 한국산 잡견에서 21%, 15%, 10%, 5%의 산소를 5분씩 공급하여 혈역학상의 변화와 조직의 산소이용 상태 및 혈중 catecholamine치를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 조절호흡의 결과, 실험견은 등탄산성 저산소혈증이 초래되었으며 흡입산소농도의 감소 정도에 따라 동맥혈 및 혼합정맥혈의 산소분압 및 포화도가 감소되었고, 산소섭취율이 증가함에 따라 동정맥혈 산소함량의 차이는 증가하였으며 동시에 심박출량이 증가하는 대상성 반응을 보였다. 중심 정맥압은 10%와 5%의 흡입산소농도에서 측정치가 유의하게 증가되었고, 평균 폐동맥압은 10%와 5%의 흡입산소농도에서 각각 55% 및 82% 증가되었으며 폐혈관저항도 각각 76%, 95%로 유의하게 증가되었으나 전신혈관저항의 변화는 유의성이 없었다. 실험견에서 혈중 norepinephrine, epinephrine 및 dopamine의 대조치는 각각 $141.4{\pm}94.4$ pg/ml, $172.6{\pm}130.1$ pg/ml, $151.1{\pm}282$ pg/ml이었다. 15% 산소 흡입 시 norepinephrine, epinephrine 및 dopamine치는 모두 유의한 증가를 나타내기 시작하였고 dopamine은 10% 흡입산소농도에서 가장 많이 증가하였으나 5% 흡입산소농도에서는 오히려 감소되었고 60%의 흡입산소로 재산소화하는 동안 대조치 수준으로 회복되었다. 이에 비해 norepinephrine은 15%의 흡입 산소농도에서 74% 증가한 후 저산소혈증이 심화될수록 더욱 증가하는 양상이 계속되었다. Epinephrine은 대조치에 비해 15% 산소 흡입시 29% 증가하였으나 10% 및 5% 흡입산소농도에서 각각 382%, 350% 증가되었다. 60%의 흡입산소로 재산소화하였을 때는 norepinephrine과 epinephrine치는 감소되었으나 대조치보다는 여전히 증가되어 있었다. 이상의 결과로 볼때 마취후 고농도의 $N_2O$에 의한 저산소 가스 흡입은 혈중 catecholamine의 농도를 증가시키나 심혈관계 및 교감 신경계의 반응을 매우 둔화시키는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 임상 마취에서 환자에게 고농도의 $N_2O$를 흡입시켜 저산소혈증이 초래되는 경우 혈압 및 맥박수의 변화는 저산소혈증을 발견하는 지표로 유용하지 않은 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise therapy and relaxation therapy on catecholamine and heart rate in people in white color jobs and to determine this information the effectiveness of applied exercise therapy and relaxation therapy as a nursing intervention method for stress patients. The subjects were divided into an exercise therapy group, a relaxation therapy group, and control group and the research design was a nonequivalent control group pretest-post test design(exercise therapy : n= 12, relaxation therapy : n=12, control group, the group without any treatment in exercise on relaxation therapy : n=12), The subjects in the exercise therapy group were given a particular intensity for each kp during 30min, bicycle ergometer which is using an LX PE training system before & after 4weeks of training. The exercise therapy that was used was Astrard load method which tested absolute exercise load of heart rate before & after four weeks, and resting heart rate was tested for exercise and relaxation therapy before, after four weeks, and at eight weeks. The results of each kp & absolute exercise load were calculated with the target rate formula(maximal heart rate-rest heart rate) x exercise intensity(%) + rest heart rate so the subjects could continue 60-70% exercise intensity for exercise therapy over eight weeks. The relaxation therapy subjects were trained using a modified Jacobson's relaxation technique for eight weeks. The exercise and relaxation therapy were trained at the following intensity for eight weeks(3times/week, 30min/day) to see changes in catecholamine & heart rates. After eight weeks, statistical analysis of exercise & relaxation therapy were carried out Two-way ANOVA and multiple range test(SNK : Student Newman Keul) were used. The results are as follows : 1. The change of epinephrine & norepinephrine in the exercise therapy, relaxation therapy, and control group was statistically significant at the .05 level after four weeks & eight weeks. Also, exercise therapy was statistically significant at .05 level over that of the control group after 4weeks. 2. The change of heart rate in relaxation therapy was statistically significant at the .05 level, and was statistically significant at the .05 level over that of the exercise therapy and control group. In conclusion, it is obvious that exercise therapy and relaxation therapy should be one of the most effective stress treatment and desirable nursing interventions methods for job stress in people in white color jobs.

Head-down tilt (HDT) at $-6^{\circ}$ has been commonly used as the experimental model in both man and animals to induce the blood shift toward the head or central protion of the body, demonstrating similar physiological effect encountered in the weightlessness in the orbital flight. There are few reports about the physiological response upon the cardiovascular regulatory system or the tolerance to the $(-6^{\circ})$ HDT within a relatively short period less than 1 hour. Therefore, the purpose of this study way to observe the effects of $-6^{\circ}$ HDT on cardiovascular system within 30 minutes and to evaluate early regulatory mechanism for simulated hypogravity. Ten mongrel dogs weighing 8-12 kg were anesthetized with the infusion of 1% ${\alpha}-chloralose$ (100 mg/kg) intravenously, and the postural changes were performed from the supine to the $-6^{\circ}$ head-down Position, then from the head-down to the supine (SUP), and each posture was maintained for 30 minutes. Blood flow $({\dot{Q}})$ through common carotid and femoral arteries were determined by the electromagnetic flowmeter. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate , and pH, $P_{O_2}$, $P_{CO_2}$ and hematocrit (Hct) of arterial and venous blood were also measured. The peripheral vascular resistance was calculated by dividing respective MAP values by ${\dot{Q}}$ through both sides of common carotid or femoral arteries. The concentration of plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine was determined by Peuler & Johnson's radioenzymatic method. The results are summarized as follows: In the initial 5 minutes in $-6^{\circ}$ HDT, HR was significantly (p<0.05) increased and MAP slightly decreased. Although ${\dot{Q}}$ and carotid peripheral artery resistance were not significantly changed, ${\dot{Q}}$ through femoral artery was diminished and femoral peripheral artery resistance was elevated. In the SUP, the initial changes of MAP and HR were increased (p<0.05), but those of ${\dot{Q}}$ and peripheral vascular resistance through both common carotid and femoral arteries were not significant. After 10 minutes of each postural change in both HDT and SUP, MAP was maintained almost equal to that of the level of pretilting control. During 60 minutes of both postural changes of HDT and SUP, $P_{O_2}$ and Hct were not changed significantly. However pH tended to increase slowly and $P_{CO_2}$ was gradually decreased. The pH and $P_{CO_2}$ seemed to be related to the increased respiratory rate. Plasma epinephrine concentration was not changed significantly and plasma norepinephrine concentration was slightly decreased in the course of HDT and also at 10 minutes of SUP. However these concentration changes were statistically insignificant. From these results, it may be concluded that the effect of $-6^{\circ}$ HDT for 30 minutes on the cardiovascular system and plasma catecholamine levels of the dog is minimum and it is suggestive that the cardiovascular regulatory mechanism, possibly mediated by so called gravity receptors including baroreceptor and volume receptor, has been properly and adequately operated.

Envenoming by Russells viper causes a broad spectrum of renal impairment. Renal failure is an important complication in patients bitten by Russells viper. Experimental work in animals and in vitro has elucidated pathophysiological mechanisms that contribute to life threatening complications and have suggested possibilities for therapeutic intervention. The evidence in experimental animals regarding mechanisms of venom action in relation to changes in either extrarenal or intrarenal factors is presented. The cardiovascular system and renal hemodynamics are affected by venom. Reductions of renal function including renal hemodynamics are associated directly with changes in general circulation during envenomation. Possible endogenous mechanisms for releasing the hormone inducing renal vasoconstriction after envenomation are evident. Hormonal factor such as the catecholamine, prostaglandin and renin angiotensin systems induce these changes. Direct nephrotoxicity of venom action is studied in the isolated per-fused kidney. Characteristic polarization of the cell membrane, changes of mitochondrial activity and Na-K ATPase in renal tubular cells are observed. Changes in renal function and the cardiovascular system are observed of ter envenomation and are reversed by the administration of Russells viper antivenom (purified equine immunoglobulin, $Fab_2$ fragment). The neutralizing effects are more efficient when the intravenous injection of antivenom is given within 30 min after the envenomation.

It has been known that the pronounced hypotension resulting from hemorrhage gives rise to compensatory stimulation of the adrenosympathetic system, which leads to an increase of liberation of catecholamines from sympathetic nervous system and adrenal medulla. It is obvious, therefore, that numerous physiological and biochemical changes during the hemorrhagic hypotention might be mediated through the increased liberation of catecholamines. Although an extensive studies have been reported on changes of protein and carbohydrate metabolism in hemorrhagic shock a few studies on the changes of lipid metabolism have been reported. Levenson(1961) observed a marked increase of serum lipids content during hemorrhagic shock and also noticed a marked elevation of serum free fatty acids. He suggested that these effects were due to mobilization and accelerated metabolic breakdown of lipids which might be resulted by sympathetic stimulation as a cause. To elucidate the mechanism of this, author studied the change of serum free fatty acids and blood sugar with relation to catecholamines during experimentally induced hemorrhagic shock in dog. Healthy male mongrel dogs weighing approximately 15kg were used. Under the general anesthesia with pentobarbital, rapid hemorrhage was produced from the femoral artery maintaining blood pressure level of 40 mmHg measured by the manometer connected with the opposite femoral artery throughout the experiment. Serum free fatty acids(FFA) and blood sugar were measured by the methods of Dole(1956) and Folin-wu,(1920) respectively. Tissue catecholamine was measured by Shore and Olin method(1958) using Aminco-Bowman spectrophotofluorometer.

Stress reaction can be shown widely in the systems of psychology, endocrinology, immunology and so on. Stress promotes catecholamine from the autonomic nerve system, and this activates the sympathetic nerve system. As the sympathetic nerve system is activated, high blood pressure, tachycardia, vertigo, anxiety, diaphoresis, myotonic reaction and others can happen. Autonomic imbalance is the syndrome that people suffer from various symptoms accompanying no organic lesions and no psychological disorders by losing the hormonies between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve system. We experienced a 55 year-old female who complained of sudden abdominal pain after being frightened at trouble with her husband. Her abdominal pain was very characteristic, "Something is like rising in my abdomen.", that occurred several times a day. We diagnosed 'Bun-Ton Disease' from her abdominal sign. Several oriental medicine books recorded aspects of Bun-Ton disease and treatments, we had given herbal medicine and treated acupuncture be based on those. Results from studies to date suggest the Bun-Ton Disease's main cause is fright or shock, and they stimulate releasing epinephrine or norepinephrine, that result in various symptoms. In this case report, we will present this patient's case and review the Bun-Ton Disease.

The present study was designed to investigate the characteristics of gintonin, one of components isolated from Korean Ginseng on secretion of catecholamines (CA) from the isolated perfused model of rat adrenal gland and to clarify its mechanism of action. Gintonin (1 to $30{\mu}g/ml$), perfused into an adrenal vein, markedly increased the CA secretion from the perfused rat adrenal medulla in a dose-dependent fashion. The gintonin-evoked CA secretion was greatly inhibited in the presence of chlorisondamine ($1{\mu}M$, an autonomic ganglionic bloker), pirenzepine ($2{\mu}M$, a muscarinic $M_1$ receptor antagonist), Ki14625 ($10{\mu}M$, an $LPA_{1/3}$ receptor antagonist), amiloride (1 mM, an inhibitor of $Na^+/Ca^{2+}$ exchanger), a nicardipine ($1{\mu}M$, a voltage-dependent $Ca^{2+}$ channel blocker), TMB-8 ($1{\mu}M$, an intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ antagonist), and perfusion of $Ca^{2+}$-free Krebs solution with 5mM EGTA (a $Ca^{2+}$chelater), while was not affected by sodium nitroprusside ($100{\mu}M$, a nitrosovasodialtor). Interestingly, LPA ($0.3{\sim}3{\mu}M$, an LPA receptor agonist) also dose-dependently enhanced the CA secretion from the adrenal medulla, but this facilitatory effect of LPA was greatly inhibited in the presence of Ki 14625 ($10{\mu}M$). Moreover, acetylcholine (AC)-evoked CA secretion was greatly potentiated during the perfusion of gintonin ($3{\mu}g/ml$). Taken together, these results demonstrate the first evidence that gintonin increases the CA secretion from the perfused rat adrenal medulla in a dose-dependent fashion. This facilitatory effect of gintonin seems to be associated with activation of LPA- and cholinergic-receptors, which are relevant to the cytoplasmic $Ca^{2+}$ increase by stimulation of the $Ca^{2+}$ influx as well as by the inhibition of $Ca^{2+}$ uptake into the cytoplasmic $Ca^{2+}$ stores, without the increased nitric oxide (NO). Based on these results, it is thought that gintonin, one of ginseng components, can elevate the CA secretion from adrenal medulla by regulating the $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization for exocytosis, suggesting facilitation of cardiovascular system. Also, these findings show that gintonin might be at least one of ginseng-induced hypertensive components.
