Twelve dogs weighing less than 10 kg underwent unilateral TTO to stabilize the stifle joint with cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Surgical findings, intra-operative and post-operative complications were recorded. Radiographic examinations were performed for 8 weeks following surgery. Postoperative outcome was evaluated using a visual analogue lameness scoring system. Mean preoperative PTA (the angle created by the intersection of the tibial plateau extrapolation line and the patellar tendon) was 103.8 degrees. Mean tibial wedge angle was 16.6 degrees. Mean postoperative PTA was 92.1 degrees. Intraoperatively, fracture through the caudal tibial cortex occurred in all dogs, through the distal tibial crest cortex in 2 dogs, through the lateral tibial cortex in 2 dogs and through the fibula in 1 dog. Four-week postoperative radiographs demonstrated evidence of progressive bone union at osteotomy site and complete unions were identified at 8 week in 10 dogs. All dogs were healed in 11 weeks. Most of dogs revealed weak lameness in 4 weeks and normal ambulation in 8 weeks postoperatively except for only one dog returned in 11 weeks. Despite frequent minor complication, it appears that the TTO is an alternative procedure for management of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in small breed dogs.

Objective: We investigated the oral malodor inhibitory effect of Scutellariae Radix (SR), Phellodendri Cortex (PC), Moutan Cortex (MTC) and Magnoliae Cortex (MGC) for the development of a gargle solution. Methods: 1. Against P. gingivalis and Pr. intermedia, the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) and the change of viable cells that were exposed to 1% each herbal extract were observed. 2. Deodorizing activity of 2% herbal extract and Garglin $Mint^{(R)}$ against methyl mercaptan were evaluated by gas chromatography (GC). 3. We used the salivary sediment system (SSS) as the malodor model. 4. The clinical examination was repeated 3 times by 2 subjects by $Halimeter^{(R)}$. Baseline VSC of each subject was measured. Then, the control subject gargled with cysteine for 30 sec. After 4 min, subjects would gargle for 30 seconds with herbal extracts (2%) and Garglin $Mint^{(R)}$. Subsequently, the concentration of VSC was measured at 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 40 and 60 minutes. Results: 1. Against P. gingivalis, MBC of SR, PC and MTC was 0.1%, and MBC of MGC was 1%. Removal time of P. gingivalis was as follows; 5 hr in MGC, 24 hr in SR and PC, and 48 hr in MTC. Against Pr. intermedia, MBC of SR and PC was 0.5%, and MBC of MTC, MGC was 1%. Removal time of Pr. intermedia was as follows; 5 hr in MTC and 24 hr in SR, PC and MGC. 2. Deodorizing effect of herbal extracts against methyl mercaptan was as follows; MGC and MTC had 100%, SR had 82.22%, PC had 66.60%, Garglin $Mint^{(R)}$ had 40.54%. 3. In the experiment using SSS, PC and MTC had statistically significant malodor-inhibitory effects (p<.05). 4. In the clinical examination, PC and MGC had statistically significant inhibitory effects at every elapsed time compared to the control subject. MTC had that until 40 min. SR had that at 0, 4, 8, 20, and 60 min. Conclusions: SR, PC, MTC and MGC have an antibacterial effect and the chemical removable activity of the oral malodor caused by VSC. These four herbs could have potential as effective anti-malodor agents.

The radical scavenging effect of the MeOH extract of Fraxini Cortex on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical was examined. The $CH_2Cl_2$-and n-BuOH-soluble fractions of MeOH extract showed the promising DPPH radical scavenging effects, and further purified by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and reversed-phase C-18 MPLC to yield five coumarins, esculetin (1), fraxidin (2), fraxetin (3), fraxidin $8-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (fraxin methyl ether) (5), esculin (6), and a secoiridoid oleuropein (4), and a coumarin-secoiridoid escuside (7). Compounds 1, 3, and 4 showed potent DPPH radical scavenging effects, exhibiting $IC_{50}$ values of 14.68, 9.64, and $22.03\;{\mu}M$, respectively. Compounds 6 and 7 also showed moderate effects with $IC_{50}$ values of 147.79 and $72.73\;{\mu}M$, respectively. L-Ascorbic acid was used as a positive control and exhibited the $IC_{50}$ value of $50.31\;{\mu}M$.

I. Purpose of Study Zea Mays L. has been known to be effective for improving periodontal health and Magnoliae cortex to have effective antibacterial and antimicrobial activity against periodontal pathogens. The purpose of this study was to examine the biologic effects of Zea Mays L. and Magnoliae cortex extract mixtures on healing of rat calvarial bone defects. II. Materials & Methods 8mm circular defects were prepared on rat calvaria during surgical procedures of 180 Sprague-Dawley rats. The ethanolic extracts of Magnoliae cortex and Zea Mays L. and these two natural extract 1:1 and 2:1 (Magnoliae: Zea Mays L.) ratio mixtures were oral administrated by oral zondes once a day at two different dose of 94.5mg/kg, 189mg/kg body weight. There are nine groups of rats in this study: control group (no sample loading), Magnoliae cortex extract loading groups (I,II)(94.5mg/kg,189mg/kg respectively), Zea Mays L. extract loading groups (I,II), M:Z(1:1) loading groups (I,II), M:Z(2:1) loading groups(I,II). Rats were sacrificed at 4 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery. New bone formations around calvarial defects were radiographically and histologically measured by computerassisted histomorphometry. Each data was statistically analyzed by One-way ANOVA test. III. Results There were statistical significances between negative control group and the other test groups on radiographical and histological quantitative assessments. Among test groups, mixture groups showed statistical significances, especially, M:Z (2:1) groups (I and II) were highly significant.(p<0.05) These results implicated that the mixture of Magnoliae and Zea Mays L. (2:1 mixing ratio) with 94.5mg/kg concentration might be highly effective on the wound healing of bony defected site and have potential possibilities as a useful drug to promote bone tissue regeneration.

본 연구의 목적은 학습상황에서 피드백으로 주어지는 금전적 획득/손실(학습 피드백)과 비학습적 상황에서 우연히 제시되는 의사 피드백(무선 피드백)을 비교하는 방법을 사용하여, 금전적 보상과 처벌의 학습 피드백으로서만 가지는 정보처리에 어느 두뇌 영역이 관여하는지를 규명하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 정상 성인(n = 22)을 대상으로 fMRI scan 동안 단서 자극에 대한 범주 버튼 반응(좌/우)의 정확 여부에 따라 피드백이 제시되는 시행(학습시행)과 단서 자극의 위치판단 반응과 무관하게 피드백이 제시되는 시행(무선시행)을 사건 관련 fMRI 방략으로 제시하였다. 두 시행 간 보상과 처벌과 같은 동기적 사건에 대한 두뇌 반응이 변별적으로 나타나는지를 알아보기 위해 시행 유형(학습 vs. 무선)과 피드백 유형(보상 vs, 처벌)을 두 독립변인으로 한 반복측정 이원분산분석을 하였다(voxel-wise FWE p < .001). 그 결과, 좌측 배외측 전두피질(dorsolateral prefrontal cortex), 좌측 전측 도(anterior insular), 배내측 전두피질(dorsomedial prefrontal cortex) 등의 영역에서 유의한 상호작용 효과가 관찰되었는데, 이들 영역은 모두 학습-보상 피드백 및 무선-처벌 피드백보다 학습-처벌 피드백에 대해 증가한 두뇌 활성을 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 학습상황에서 주어지는 처벌 피드백에 대한 기존 전략의 변경이나 재평가를 위한 집행적 처리, 적절하지 못하거나 틀린 행동에 대한 오류처리 과정 그리고 실패 경험에 대한 부정적 정서처리가 위에서 언급한 피질신경망을 중심으로 이루어질 가능성을 보여준다. 따라서 학습의 처벌 피드백은 보상과 달리 위와 같은 추가적 정보처리 과정이 존재할 가능성을 시사한다.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of Moutan Cortex Radicis extracts and paeonol, a major component, on rabbit platelet aggregation and thromboxane (TX) $A_2$ formation. Moutan Cortex Radicis methanol and butanol layers (100 ${\mu}g/mL$) showed the weak inhibitions, and water layer (100 ${\mu}g/mL$) had no effect on the collagen-induced platelet aggregation. Whereas, hexane and EtOAc layers potently inhibited the collagen (3 ${\mu}g/mL$)-induced platelet aggregation with the $IC_{50}$ values of 10.9${\pm}$1.0 and 31.5${\pm}$0.8 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Paeonol isolated from the hexane-acetone layer specifically inhibited the collagen-induced platelet aggregation with the $IC_{50}$ value of 113.1 ${\pm}$ 0.9 ${\mu}M$, whereas it had little effects on the other agonists such as AA-, thrombin-, A23187- and thapsigargin-induced platelet aggregations. Paeonol also potently inhibited the collagen-induced TXB formation in rabbit platelet in a concentration-dependent manner. These results suggest that paeonol may inhibit rabbit platelet aggregation by interfering with an essential step in collagen-induced platelet activation and $TXA_2$ formation. Paeonol may be a promising candidate for an antiplatelet agent.

Cortex Mori radicis has been used as a components of antidiabetics, antiasthma and diuresis in Oriental Medicine. This experiment examined the effect of an extracts, obtained from the acetone(CM-A) and aqueous(CM-W) extracts of Cortex Mori radicis, on hair growing activity of the C57BL/6N mice after topical application to skin. We investigated the number of hair follicle and mast cells, and changes of subpopulation of splenocytes and thymocytes in skin for 16 day. The results were as follows : The Hair growing effect in experimental groups was more increased in 85%(CM-A) and 90%(CM-W) than control group(10%) in hair depilated area. The number of hair follicle in experimental groups(CM-A and CM-W) was more increased than control group. Splenic B/T lymphocytes of CM-A group were decreased compare to control group. CD4/CD8 positive TH cells in splenic T lymphocytes of CM-W group were increased compare to control group. These results suggest that CM-A and CM-W may be used in treatment of alopecia areata.

천연 약용식물에 있어서 감마선 조사 처리는 기능성 물질탐색에 적용 시 추출수율 증진, 색상 개선 등 산업적 응용을 용이하게 하는 방법으로 활용이 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 감마선 조사가 총목피 추출물의 생리활성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 감마선 조사 처리한 총목피의 감마선 조사여부를 확인하기 위하여 광자극 발광(PSL) 및 열 발광(TL) 방법을 활용하여 감마선 조사 판별 확인시험을 진행하였다. PSL법의 경우 비조사구 0 kGy에서 400.00 PCs로 음성(negative) 시료로 판단되었으며, 조사구 5, 10, 30 kGy에서 각각 90,100.00 PCs, 312,614.33 PCs, 321,661.67 PCs로 나타나 감마선을 조사한 양성(positive) 시료로 확인되었다. TL법 적용 시 비조사구 0 kGy에서 자연방사선에 의한 $300^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 조사구 5, 10, 30 kGy는 $150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$의 부근에서 특유의 glow curve를 나타내었다. TL ratio는 비조사구 0 kGy에서 0.011로 0.1 이하의 값을 나타냈으며, 조사구 5, 10, 30 kGy는 각각 1.105, 1.009, 2.206으로 0.1이상의 값을 나타내어 조사구로 확인되었다. 감마선 조사처리한 총목피의 total phenolics 함량을 측정한 결과 0, 10, 30 kGy 선량 중 10 kGy의 조사선량에서 총목피 열수 및 50% ethanol 추출물의 total phenolics 함량이 각각 $17.30{\pm}0.40mg/g$, $18.87{\pm}0.46mg/g$으로 가장 높은 phenolics 함량을 나타내었다. 감마선 조사 처리한 총목피의 angiotensin converting enzyme 저해효과와 xanthin oxidase 저해효과는 비조사구에 비해 조사구에서 열수 및 50% ethanol 추출물 모두 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Pancreatin ${\alpha}$-amylase 저해효과와 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해효과는 총목피 열수 및 50% ethanol 추출물 $200{\mu}g/mL$ phenolics 농도 처리 시 0~30 kGy의 모든 선량에서 60~100%에 가까운 높은 저해율을 나타내어 현재 당뇨병 치료제로 사용되고 있는 acarbose와 비교 시 월등히 우수한 항당뇨 효과를 확인할 수 있었고, 이를 통해 감마선 조사 처리한 총목피 추출물은 천연소재로써 항당뇨 관련 기능성 소재로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과 총목피 추출물은 다양한 생리활성을 가진 기능성 소재로 활용이 가능한 것으로 생각되었으며 감마선의 조사에 의해서 총목피의 생리활성이 증대되는 현상을 확인함으로써 감마선 조사가 식물체가 나타내는 생리활성을 증폭시킬 수 있는 수단으로 활용이 가능할 것이라 판단되었다.

Objective: Post stroke motor recovery is facilitated by the brain reorganization or the neuroplastic changes. The therapeutic approach mentioned in the current case is one of the approaches for enhancing motor recovery by stimulating the damaged neural networks directing the motor behaviour of a person. The aim of the present study was to establish the changes in the balance and gait pattern of an individual through multi target stimulation of areas of cerebral cortex by utilising multichannel trans cranial direct current stimulation (M-tDCS) in a sub-acute stroke survivor. Design: A Case Report Methods: The present patient was the participant of the trial (CTRI/2021/02/031044).The patient was intervened with M-tDCS (anodes over left primary motor cortex that is C3 point and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex i.e., F3 point and cathodes over supraorbital areas, Intensity - 1.2mA) for the duration of 20 minutes along with turbo med extern - an AFO to facilitate ankle dorsi flexion and conventional physiotherapy rehabilitation. The Fugl-Meyer assessment lower extremity (FMA-LE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Wisconsin Gait Scale (WGS) and the Stroke Specific Quality of Life (SSQOL) measures were used for outcome assessment. Baseline assessment was done on day 0 followed by assessment on 10 and 20 post intervention. Results: Improvement was seen in all the tools i.e. (FMA -LE), BBS, SSQOL and WGS over the time period of 20 days. Conclusions: M-tDCS resulted in improvement in gait parameters, balance and motor functions of lower extremity of the patient.
