본 연구는 상표소와 상심자가 난소적출로 유발된 흰쥐의 골다공증 치료효과에 미치는 영향에 관한 것으로서 주요 내용은 다음과 같다. 본 연구에서는 상표소와 상심자 물 추출물을 난소를 절제한 흰쥐에 투여하여 대퇴골, 비골경골의 골밀도, 혈청 중 오스테오칼신 함량, 알칼리성 인산가수분해효소 활성도, 칼슘 함량, 인 함량, 소변 중 무기성분의 변화, deoxypyridinoline 함량 등과 뼈의 함량, 인 함량, ash 무게에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 본 실험 결과 상표소와 상심자 물 추출물은 폐경기 이후 골다공증에 대한 치료에 효과적이라고 판단된다는 내용이다.

The in vitro anticoagulant and fibrinolytic activities of crude extracts from insects were evaluated in order to find effective therapeutic drugs for the treatment of myocardial and cerebral thrombosis. We prepared three types of extracts (water, methanol and ethylacetate) from 28 insects for use as raw materials for the activity assays. The fibrinolytic activity was tested using the fibrin plate method and the activated partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time were measured for blood clotting activity. With regards to the fibrinolytic system, water extracts of six kinds of insects displayed a remarkable level of activity with a plasmin-like action. The water extracts of [Catharsius molossus, Eupolyphaga sinensis, Huechys sanguinea, Mantidis $o\ddot{o}theca$, Mimela splendens, and Polistes mandarinus (Vespae Nidus)] exhibited the activity. On the other hand, the methanol extracts did not display any fibrinolytic activity. In terms of the coagulation system, an aqueous extract of silkworm Tongchunghacho (Paecilomyces japonica), Oxya japonica japonica and Buthus martensi (Scorpion) increased the clotting time significantly longer (181 times) than the control. These results suggest that crude drugs from insects are useful sources for the development of new drugs for use in treatments involving blood coagulation and fibrinolysis.
