We studied the action of methyleugenol on immediate hypersensitivity. Methyleugenol completely inhibited systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 in mice. Methyleugenol al so inhibited local anaphylaxis induced by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE. Moreover, methyleugenol dose-dependently inhibited histamine release in peritoneal mast cells activated by compound 48/80 or anti-DNP IgE. These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of methyleugenol on anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 or anti-DNP IgE is due to, in part at least, the membrane stabilization of mast cells.

Effects of the aqueous extract of Aquilariae Lignum (Thymelaeaceae) on the allergic reactions were investigated. Oral administration of this extract (50, 250, and 500mg/kg) exhi bited a dose-dependent inhibition on passive cutaneous anaphylactic reactions in rats. Administrations of this extract (500mg/kg, i.p.) at 60 min before and 5, 10 min after the compound 48/80 treatment (8mg/kg, i.p.) decreased the mortality rates to 0, 0, and 14.2%, respectively. The aqueous extract of Aquilariae Lignum (0.05 ~ 1.6mg/ml) showed a dose-related inhibition on histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells. The morphological examination also clearly showed that the aqueous extract of Aquilariae Lignum prevented the degranulation of mast cells in rats.

We investigated the effect of aqueous extract of Terminalia chebula (Combretaceae)(TCAE) on the immediate hypersensitivity reaction in vivo and in vivo. TCAE (0.01 to 1 g/kg) dose-dependently inhibited compound 48/80 induced systemic anaphylaxis in mice. When TCAE was pretreated at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 1 g/kg, the plasma histamine levels were reduced in a dose-dependent manner. TCAE (0.1 and 1 g/kg) significantly inhibited local immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylactic reaction. TCAE (0.001 to 1 mg/ml) also dose-dependently inhibited the histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMC) activated by compound 48/80 or anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE. TCAE (0.01 to 1 mg/ml) had a significant inhibitory effect on anti-DNP IgE-induced tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ production from RPMC. These results indicate that TCAE inhibits immediate hypersensitivity reaction in vivo and in vitro.

We studied the effects of the powders of Spirulina platensis (SPP) on anaphylactic reactions. SPP inhibited systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 in rats. SPP also inhibited local anaphylaxis activated by anti-dinitrophenyl(DNP) IgE. Moreover, SPP dose-dependently inhibited histamine release in rat peritoneal mast cells activated by compound 48/80 or anti DNP-IgE. These results suggest that SPP may contain compounds with actions that inhibit mast cell degranulation in the rat.

The purpose of this research was to investigate effects of Bangpoongtongsungsan water extract(BTSE) on the immune reaction, anti-allergy action and anti-inflammatory action in BALB/c mice. The administration of BTSE (500mg/kg) enhanced the cell viability of thymocytes and the population of helper T cells in splenic T-lymphocytes. BTSE suppressed the production of nitric oxide, but enhanced the phagocytic activity in peritoneal macrophages. BTSE enhanced hemagglutination titer in mice. BTSE inhibited passive cutaneous anaphylaxis induced by egg albumin in rat, the lethal anaphylaxis induced by platelet activating factor and compound 48/80 in mice, and then inhibited the degranulation of peritoneal mast cells induced by compound 48/80. BTSE did not inhibit Arthus reaction, but inhibited the delayed type hypersensitivity induced by SRBC and contact dermatitis induced by DNFB. BTSE inhibited the acute hind paw edema induced by histamine after 30 minutes, the permeability of evans blue into peritoneal cavity induced by acetic acid and the writhing syndrome induced by acetic acid. These results suggest that BTSE has an immunopotentiative action, anti-allergy action and anti-inflammatory action via the inhibition of histamine release.

Purpose : This study is to examine the effects of Hwaganjeon water extract(HGJ) on immobilization-stress or cold-stress in BALB/C mice. Methods : We have Hwaganjeon water extract(HGJ) by freeze-dryer & melt it by a saline solution. We feed HGJ 500mg/Kg to 5mice, and add immobilization-stress by putting mice in plastic cylinder 10 hours, and add cold-stress by putting mice in $4^{\circ}C$ cold room 6 hours. Results : 1. HGJ decreased the serum level of histamine and corticosterone increased by immobilization-stress or cold-stress. HGJ inhibited the release of histamine from mast cells at the concentration of 1 mg/ml. 2. HGJ did not affect the cell viability of thymocytes decreased by immobilization-stress or cold-stress, but increased the cell viability of splenocytes decreased by immobilization-stress or cold-stress. 3. HGJ decreased the population of splenic $CD4^{+}$ and $CD8^{+}$cells increased by immobolization-stress or cold-stress. 4. HGJ enhanced the production of ${\gamma}$-interferon(IFN) and interleukin(IL)-2 decreased by immobilization-stress or cold-stress. Conclusion : These results indicate that HGJ may be useful for the prevention and treatment of stress via suppression of serum histamine and corticosterone level and enhancement of immune response.

This study was done to evaluate the antiallergic effects of Naenghyohwan(NHH). Cytotoxic activity for lung fibroblast cells, cytokines transcript expression of IL-1, IL-4, IL-5, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, IL-10, TGF-${\beta}$1, IFN-${\gamma}$, production of IL-4, IL-10. IFN-${\gamma}$, IgE in anti-CD40mAb plus rIL-4 stimulated murine splenic B cells and the production of histamin released in mast cells, and the expression of histamine release factor(HRF) in splenic B cells were measurd. The following results were obtained. NHH did not showed cytotoxicity in fibroblast cells. NHH increased the gene synthesis of TNF-${\alpha}$, IFN-${\gamma}$(m-RNA). NHH decreased the gene synthesis of IL-1${\beta}$, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, TGF-${\beta}1$(m-RNA). NHH decreased the appearance of IL-4, IgE significantly. NHH increased the appearance of IL-10. IFN-${\gamma}$ significantly. NHH decreased the proliferation of B cells significantly. NHH decreased the appearance of histamin expression of HRF in mast cells significantly. The results suggest NHH is effective against the allergies. Continued studies of the antiallergic effects of NHH are urged.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of medial amygdala on the gastric acid secretion and plasma gastrin concentration in the rats with chronic gastric fistula. After the medial nucleus of amygdala was damaged bilaterally by radiofrequency a. c. through stereotaxically inserted electrodes, the gastric juice was collected in the basal and histamine-stimulated states for 1 hour. The gastric juice was also collected while the medial nucleus of amygdala was stimulated with biphasic square wave in the both states. After the collection of the gastric juice, blood samples were drawn from the abdominal aorta for the radioimmunoassay of plasma gastrin. The results were as follows: 1) The damage of the medial amygdala significantly decreased the gastric juice volume and the acid output in the histamine-stimulated state. 2) The electrical stimulation of the medial amygdala significantly increased the gastric juice volume and the acid output in the histamine-stimulated state, and the acid output in the basal state. 3) The damage of the medial amygdala significantly decreased the plasma gastrin concentration but the electrical stimulation of the medial amygdala did not affect the plasma gastrin concentration. It is therefore suggested that the medial amygdala has a facilitatory influence on the histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in rats, and the influence may not be attributed to gastrin release.

Objectives: The root and stem of Sinomenium acutum has been used for treatment of arthritis and neuralgia in oriental medicine. To find new substances of the anti-anaphylactic drugs, we studied Sinomenium acutum. Methods: To investigate the effect of this plant, the effect on anaphylactic reaction, plasma histamine level, and tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}-(TNF-{\alpha})$ production were measured after the aqueous extract of Sinomenium acutum stem (SSAE) was administrated to mice and rats. Results: The SSAE (0.1 to 1000 mg/kg) dose-dependently inhibited systemic anaphylactic reaction induced by compound 48/80 in mice. Especially, SSAE reduced compound 48/80-induced anaphylactic reaction with 50% at the dose of 1000 mg/kg. SSAE (100 to 1000 mg/kg) also significantly inhibited local anaphylactic reaction activated by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE. When mice were pretreated with SSAE at a concentration ranging from 0.1 to 1000 mg/kg, the plasma histamine levels were reduced in a dose-dependent manner. SSAE (1 to 1000 g/ml) dose-dependently inhibited histamine release from the rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMCs) activated by compound 48/80 or anti-DNP IgE. The level of cAMP in RPMCs, when SSAE was added, increased compared with that of a normal control. In addition, SSAE (0.1 g/ml) had a significant inhibitory effect on anti-DNP IgE-induced $TNF-{\alpha}$ production. Conclusions: These results indicate that SSAE inhibits mast cell-mediated anaphylactic reactions and $TNF-{\alpha}$ production from mast cells.
