The effects of the Evodiae fructus on the cardiovascular function were assessed in spontaneously hypertensive rats, and isolated preparation of spontaneously hypertensive rats aortic strip. In spontaneously hypertensive rats, intraperitoneal administration of methanol crude extract of Evodiae Fructus (0.5mg/kg) lowered aterial blood pressure which lasted for at least 4 hours. The hypotensive effect of Evodiae Fructus was more stronger with ${\alpha}-adrenoreceptor$ inhibitor(Phentholamine) and it was not affected by ${\beta}-adrenoreceptor$ inhibitor(Propranolol). The hypotensive effect of Evodiae Fructus was abolished by NAME. It is suggested that the hypotensive effect of Evodiae Fructus may be concern with endothelium-derived relaxing factor and it may be mediated through NO synthesis. Evodiae Fructus showed a vasorelaxing effect on denude aortic strip. It is suggested that Evodiae Fructus has a direct relaxing effect on vascular smooth muscle cells. Judging from above results, it was proved that hypotensive effect of Evodiae Fructus. The mechanism of hypotensive action may be concern with endothelium-derived relaxing factor and direct relaxing effect on vascular smooth muscle cells. Therefore, it is suggested that Evodiae Fructus is applicable to hypertension.

Several physiological components containing a secondary amino group were capable of reacting sodium nitroprusside to form potentially carcinogenic nitrosamines under physiological conditions (pH 7.3, 37). In each case the products were identical to those produced upon reaction with nitrous acid at much lower pH values. Reaction rates measured with proline were shown to reflect a first order dependence on both amine and nitroprusside concentrations. The strong influences of pH on the reactions of sodium nitro prusside with amines were also observed. These results show sodium nitroprusside could be a very potent nitrosation agent under physiological conditions.

Pole assignment adaptive controller has been suggested for automatic regulation of blood pressure by means of hypertinsive of hypotensive drugs. The relationship between the drug infusion rate and the blood pressure was described by an ARMA model. This adaptive algorithm does not reguire preliminary tests for the purpose of tuning the parameters, and have the capability to adjust automatically to changes in the curculatory state of subject. Experimental results on rabbits showed that stable control are occurred during operation. On the basis of theoretical considerations and experimental results, we expected that adaptive drug infusion system using pole assignment procedure might be effectively applied to the blood pressure control in clinical application.

본 실험실에서는 한국 특산인 매자나무 (Berberis koreana Palibin)의 뿌리에서 majarine(isoquinoline alkaloid)을 분리하여 여러 가지의 약리작용을 검토한 바 있다. 현재는 majarine의 화학적 구조를 변화시켜 그 유도체의 약리작용을 검색하고 있으며, 그 중 majarine의 isoquinoline ring에 치환되어 있는 두 methoxy group 중 하나를 hydroxy기로 치환된 majarol을 합성하였다. Majarol을 흰쥐 정맥내로 투여하여 혈압 및 심박동수의 변화와 epinephrine, phentolamine, isoproterenol, propranolol, atropine, diphenhydramine과 hexamethonium 등에 대한 약물 상호작용을 관찰하였으며 또 적출 개구리 심장에 대한 작용을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 성적을 얻었다. Majarine을 저용량(0.5-2 mg/kg)에서 용량의존적으로 현저하고 일시적인 혈압 강하와 약간의 심박동수 감소를 나타냈으며, 고용량(>5mg/kg)에서는 이차적으로 지속적인 혈압강하와 심박동수 감소를 나타냈다. 일시적인 혈압강하작용은 atropine sulfate, diphenhydramine과 hexamethonium에 의해 억제되지 않았고, epinephrine의 혈압 상승작용은 majarol의 전처치로 현저하게 차단되었으며, majarol 투여시 나타나는 지속적인 혈압 강하는 심박동수 감소에 수반되어 나타났고 이는 propranolol에 의해 억제되지 않았으며, isoproterenol의 positive chronotropic effect는 majarol 전처치로 차단되지 않았다. majarol은 저용량에서 적출개구리 심장의 수축기 장력을 증가시켰으며 고용량에서는 개구리 적출심장에 대해 억제적으로 작용하였다. 이러한 결과로 보아 majarol의 일시적이고 현저한 혈압강하작용은 ${\alpha}$-adrenoceptor 차단작용에 의한 것으로 사료되고, 이차적으로 나타나는 지속적인 혈압강하작용은 심박동수의 감소와 동시에 나타나는 것으로 보아 심장에 대한 작용인 것으로 추정되며, majarol의 심장에 대한 작용을 ${\beta}$-adrenoceptor에 대한 작용보다는 심근에 대한 직접적인 작용인 것으로 추정된다.

In order to investigate the effect of nifedipine, $Ca^{+2}$ channel antagoninst, on the action of some drugs participating in blood pressure, this experiment was peformed in rabbits. Nifedipine decreased the pressor actions of norepinephrine, angiotensin and carotid artery clamping, but did not affect the pressor actions of tyramine and depressor actions of acetylcholine and pilocarpine. Nifedipine inhibited the potentiated pressor action of norepinephrine and angiotensin, but did not influence the potentiated pressor action of tyramine in rabbits pretreated with chlorisondamine, ganglionic blocking agent. Nifedipine weakened the potentiated pressor action of norepinephrine, did not affect the pressor action of angiotensin and the potentiated pressor action of tyramine in rabbits pretreated with debrisoquine, sympathetic neuronal blocking agent.

In this study, Artemisia capillaris, which has been used in oriental medicine and folks remedy, was investigated to characterize the nutritional composition (protein, lipid, ash, fiber, amino acids, fatty acids, Na, K, P, Mg, Ca and Fe) and effective substance (scopoletin). Artemisia capillaris has often been cited in medical literature for its medicinal effects. The Korean Food and Drug Administration allowed Artemisia capillaris as a food stuff and indicated as In-Jin-Sook. From the view point of the subjects who eat In-Jin-Sook products, most of them ingested it for a certain pharmacological efficacy rather than as a beverage or a food. Therefore, we need to develop functional foods using In-Jin-Sook. Artemisia capillaris was superior in protein, crude fiber, amino acid and fatty acid compositions to wild greens according to Korean Nutritional Composition Table. Also scopoletin, blown for blood vessel relaxation and hypotensive effect, was detected at the level of 326.13 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g. These results demonstrated that Artemisia capillaris has both pharmaceutical effects and balanced nutritional contents. Artemisia capillaris has sufficient values to use as a food stuff for functional foods.

Gastritis is a major disease that has the potential to grow as gastric cancer. Gastric cancer is a very common cancer, and it is related to a very high mortality rate in Korea. This disease is known to have various reasons, including infection with Helicobacter pylori, dietary habits, tobacco, and alcohol. The incidence rate of gastritis has reported to differ between age, population, and gender. However, unlike other factors, there has been no analysis based on gender. So, we examined the high risk factors of gastritis in each gender in the Korean population by focusing on sex. We performed an analysis of 120 clinical characteristics and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using 349,184 single-nucleotide polymorphisms from the results of Anseong and Ansan cohort study in the Korea Association Resource (KARE) project. As the result, we could not prove a strong relation with these factors and gastritis or gastric ulcer in the GWAS. However, we confirmed several already-known risk factors and also found some differences of clinical characteristics in each gender using logistic regression. As a result of the logistic regression, a relation with hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, hyperlipidemia therapy, hypotensive or antihypotensive drug, diastolic blood pressure, and gastritis was seen in males; the results of this study suggest that vascular disease has a potential association with gastritis in males.
