The objective of this study was to confirm the effect of the type of dissolution media and paddle speed on nifedipine (ND) release profile from osmotic granule and the storage stability. Osmotic granule was manufactured by fluidized bed coating method. At each coating step, morphology of osmotic granule was differed. The size of osmotic granule was $750\;{\mu}m$ at 3 wt% membrane thickness. ND release was changed in diverse dissolution media, paddle speed. ND release is governed by not only osmotic pressure but diffusion from osmotic granule. ND release from osmotic granule decreased as storage period increased. These may be caused by liquid excipient which has low molecular weight. Storage stability of osmotic granule could be improved by removing liquid excipient from semipermeable membrane.

Changes in the release and uptake of glutamate in cerebellar granule and glial cells of offspring of lead-exposed mothers were determined. In cultured cerebellar granule cells exposed to lead for 5 days, glutamate release was less influenced upon N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) stimulation than that in the control. Although the NMDA-stimulated release of glutamate in cerebellar granule cells prepared from lead-exposed first generation pups was not different from that of the control group, the S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP)-stimulated release of glutamate in cerebellar granule cells obtained from lead-treated pups was less elevated than that in the control. Furthermore, in cerebellar granule cells obtained from lead-exposed second generations pups, glutamate release did not respond to both NMDA and SNAP stimulation. In cerebellar glial cells exposed to lead, the basal glutamate uptake was not changed. However, the L-trans-pyrollidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (PDC)-blocking effects was significantly reduced. In glial cells obtained from lead-exposed pups, the glutamate uptake was also less blocked by PDC than that in the control. Further decreases in PDC-blocking effects were observed in cerebellar glial cells obtained from lead-treated second generation pups compared to those from the control group. These results indicate that lead exposure induces the changes in the sensitivities of the glutamate release and uptake transporter. In addition, these results suggest that lead exposure might affect the intracellular signalling pathway and transmission in glutamatergic nervous system.

Calcium phosphate bone cement was prepared to contain antibiotics for release after setting using granulated ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate (${\beta}$-TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA). Gentamicin sulfate (GS) solution was infiltrated within the interconnected pores of the granule to avoid affecting the setting reaction and for protection of GS during the setting. Consequently, the setting time and the temperature increase were not affected, regardless of the loading of GS. The release of the GS from the cement was estimated by measuring the concentration at regular intervals from the cement dipped solution. The ${\beta}$-TCP granule loaded with GS exhibited the saturation of accumulative concentration at 16 h. In contrast, the HA granule with GS exhibited steady increase in accumulative concentration of over $10{\mu}g/ml$ at 144 h. Thus, the granulated cement could release the GS greater than the minimum inhibitory concentration of staphylococcus during the prescription peroid of the oral antibiotics.

Platelets are activated at sites of vascular injury via several molecules, such as adenosine diphosphate, collagen and thrombin. Full platelet aggregation is absolutely essential for normal hemostasis. Moreover, this physiological event can trigger circulatory disorders, such as thrombosis, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, platelet function inhibition is a promising approach in preventing platelet-mediated circulatory disease. Many studies reported the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signaling pathways in platelet functions. However, these studies were limited. Thus, we examined MAPK signaling pathways in human platelets using specific MAPK inhibitors, such as PD98059, SB203580, and SP600125. We observed that these inhibitors were involved in calcium mobilization and influx in human platelets. They also suppressed thrombin-induced ${\alpha}$- and ${\delta}$-granule release. These results suggest that PD98059, SB203580, and SP600125 exhibit $Ca^{2+}$ antagonistic effects.

Changes in glutamate release and uptake on cerebellar cells after the chronic exposure to lead were investigated. Rats were received 0.25% lead acetate in drinking water from the beginning of the pregnancy. The control group was given 0.125% sodium acetate in drinking water. The cerebellar cells from 7 or 8 day-old pups were cultured. Amino acid release from cerebellar granule cells and the glutamate uptake into cerebellar glial cells were measured using HPLC-ECD. Basal glutamate release and NMDA-induced glutamate release didn't show significant difference. However, the other amino acids in the granule cells obtained from lead exposed pups were less released than the control after the stimulation by NMDA (50$\mu$M). SNAP-induced (50$\mu$M) glutamate release was significantly reduced in granule cells prepared from lead exposed pups. The basal glutamate uptake in glial cells didn't show any difference. However, the uptake in glial cells prepared from lead exposed pups was significantly less blocked by PDC (24$\mu$M) compared to the control group. These results indicate that lead exposure to the mother might affect the Excitatory amino acid system during the development of the offspring.

Cerebellar granule and glial cells prepared from 7 day-old rat pups were used to investigate the effects of sub-acute nicotine exposure on the glutamatergic nervous system. These cells were exposed to nicotine in various concentrations for 2 to 10 days in situ. Nicotine-exposure did not result in any changes in cerebellar granule and glial cell viability at concentrations of up to 500 $\mu\textrm{M}$. In cerebellar granule cells, the basal extracellular levels of glutamate, aspartate and glycine were enhanced in the nicotine-exposed granule cells. In addition, the responses of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced glutamate release were enhanced at low NMDA concentrations in the nicotine-exposed granule cells. However, this decreased at higher NMDA concentrations. The glutaminase activity was increased after nicotine exposure. In cerebellar glial cells, glutamate uptake in the nicotine-exposed glial cells were either increased at low nicotine exposure levels or decreased at higher levels. The inhibition of glutamate uptake by L-trans-pyrollidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (PDC) was lower in glial cells exposed to 50 $\mu\textrm{M}$ nicotine. Glutamine synthetase activity was lower in glial cells exposed to 100 or 500 $\mu\textrm{M}$ of nicotine. These results indicate that the properties of cerebellar granule and glial cells may alter after subacute nicotine exposure. Furthermore, they suggest that nicotine exposure during development may modulate glutamatergic nervous activity.

약물을 전달하기 위한 많은 방법들 중의 하나인 삼투압을 이용한 과립화는 타블렛 제형의 단점인 제조공정의 복잡함과 여러 문제점을 보완하기 위해 시도되었다. 유동층 코팅기로 제조된 삼투압을 이용한 과립은 물을 흡수하면 팽윤하는 시드층과 모델 약물인 니페디핀을 포함하는 약물층, 그리고 약물의 방출을 조절할 수 있는 반투막으로 구성되었다. 서로 다른 크기와 반투막의 두께는 각기 다른 양의 시드와 반투막 코팅액을 사용하여 얻을 수 있었다. 얻어진 과립은 각 코팅 단계에 따라서 서로 다른 모폴로지는 코팅되는 용액의 형태에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 과립의 크기가 클수록 방출은 지연되며, 이는 과립이 가지는 비표면적의 차이로 인한 것이라 사료된다. 또한 반투막의 두께가 두꺼울수록 약물의 방출이 지연되는데 이는 반투막이 두꺼울수록 물의 흡수가 늦어지는 것으로 추정된다 용출액의 약물 용해도는 약물의 방출에 큰 영향을 미쳐 용출액 선택의 중요성을 알 수 있었다. 이 실험을 통해 삼투압을 이용한 과립은 유동층 코팅을 이용하여 제조할 수 있었으며, 과립의 크기와 반투막의 두께, 돗출액에 따라 약물의 방출을 조절할수 있음을 확인하였다.

약물전달 시스템 중의 하나인 삼투압정의 단점을 보완하기 위해 많은 장점을 가지는 유동층 코팅 기술을 이용하여 내부의 삼투염의 양과 반투막 내의 결합제의 종류가 다른 삼투압을 이용하는 과립을 제조하였다. 얻어진 과립은 코팅 단계에 따라 과립의 형태가 상이하였으며, 약물층에 포함된 삼투염의 양이 많을수록 많은 양의 약물을 방출하였다. 이는 과립의 내부와 외부의 삼투압 차이가 커져서 약물을 방출시키는 추진력이 증가하였기 때문으로 사료된다. 또한 반투막의 결합제 종류에 따른 약물의 방출은 결합제의 물에 대한 용해도에 따라 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 반투막 내의 다공의 형성은 SEM과 DSC를 이용하여 확인하였으며, 물에 대한 용해도가 큰 결합제를 사용한 반투막이 더 많은 양의 약물을 방출함을 확인하였다. 이 실험을 통해 삼투압을 이용한 과립의 약물방출은 과립 내부와 외부의 삼투압 차이와 반투막의 다공도에 의해 영향을 받는다는 것을 확인하였다.

These studies were designed to examine the effects of ginsenosides on glutamate neurotansmission. In primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule cells, ginsenosides (Rb1, Rc did not Rg1, $500\mug/ml$) increased glutamate release which was measured by HPLC. but HPLC, but Re did not shwo an elevation of glutamate release. However, all of these ginsenosides down-regulated N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced glutamate release. Rc strongly increased glutamate release and elevated intracellular clcium concentrations $([Ca_{2+}]_i)$ which was measured by ratio fluorometry with FURA-2AM. These results indicate that ginsenosides have a homeostatic effect on glutamate neurotransmission, and there is a structure-function relationship among the ginsenosides tested.
