A rapid, sensitive and specific method was developed and validated using electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for determination of misoprostol acid in human plasma. Misoprostol $acid-d_5$ was used as in internal standard (IS). The analyte and IS were extracted by simple one step solid phase extraction (SPE). Linearity in plasma was obtained over the concentration range 10~3000 pg/mL and lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was identifiable and reproducible at 10 pg/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision values were below 9% and the accuracy was ranged from 93.81% to 102.02% at all four quality control samples. The method was has been successfully applied for routine assay to support pharmacokinetic study of misoprostol acid in human plasma after an oral administration of 0.4 mg misoprostol.

Objective : This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Jisildochehwan extract on indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal lesions of mice. as compared with misoprostol. Methods : Experimental mice were classified into four groups. No gastro-inflammation elicited mice were the normal group(NOR). Gastro-inflammation elicited mice were the control group (CON). Misoprostol-administered mice after gastro-inflammation elicitation were the misoprostol-administered group (MA). Jisildochehwan-administered mice after gastro-inflammation elicitation were the Jisildochehwan-administered group(JA). In this study, we examined superoxide dismutase(SOD) ability, anti-inflammatory ability arrangement of mucous-secreted cells. distribution of mucosal neck cells, mucosal surface cells. neutral mucous-secreted cells. PAS reaction. COX-1, $TNF-{\alpha}$, $NF-{\kappa}B$ p65 and iNOS. Results : The SOD ability of the Jisildochehwan group increased dose-dependently. The hemorrhagic erosion and the damage of arrangement of mucous-secreted cells increased in the CON group. but decreased in the MA and JA groups. The COX-1 positive were decreased in the CON group, but increased in the MA and JA groups. The distribution of mucosal neck cells and mucosal surface cells. PAS positive reaction of surface mucous cells were decreased in CON group, but increased in MA and JA group. $TNF-{\alpha}$, $NF-{\kappa}B$ p65 and iNOS increased in the CON group, but decreased in the MA and JA groups. In all the results, the effects were better in the JA group than in the MA group. Conclusion : Jisildochehwan extract was more effective than Misoprostol. Jisildochehwan has excellent protective effects on indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal lesions.

Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Hyangsayukgunja-tang extract on indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal lesions of mice. Methods: To evaluate the effects of Hyangsayukgunja-tang extract and Misoprostol, the morphology of gastric mucosa, and the distribution of mucose cells, PNA(Peanut Agglutinin), ICAM(intercellular adhesion molecule), and apoptotic cells were observed. Hyangsayukgunja-tang extract and Misoprostol were intragastric injected to the test groups at hour 72 before and just before indomethacin treatment(HYT-J, HYT-72, M-J, M-72), while the INDO group was injected only with indomethacin and the control group was subcutaneously injected only with saline. Results: The gastric mucosal lesions incresed in the fundus and body of INDO group, but softened in HYT group and M group, the effects were more excellent in the HYT-72, M-72 groups than the HYT-J, M-J groups and in the HYT group than M group. The disappearance of surface and neck mucose cells were shown in INDO group, but softened in HYT group and M group. The mucosal configuration of HYT-72 group was the same as control group. The numerical increase of PNA positive reaction in cytoplasm of perietal cells were appeared in INDO group. The PNA positive reaction in HYT group and Miso-group were shown in surface mucous cells and microvilli of apical surface in chief cells as control group, and were the same as control group in all mucosa of HYT-72 group. The distribution of ICAM positive cells, increased in INDO group, but decreased in M-72 group, and were the same as control group in HYT-72 group. The apoptotic cells, increased noticeably in gastric mucosa of INDO group, decreased in HYT group and M group, and decreased noticeably in HYT-72 group.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate about missed abortion pathophysiology, diagnosis, medical treatment and to research the trend of the study related to missed abortion. Methods: We referred a PubMed site by using search word of "missed abortion"(Limits: 3 Year, only items with abstracts, Human). Results: 37 journals with 49 papers were searched. Conclusion: 1. The study of missed abortion pathophysiology was the following. The first was that important pathologies such as molar pregnancy and placental trophoblastic disease can be diagnosed by routine histopathologic analysis of product of conception following first-trimester spontaneous miscarriages. The second was that coelomic fluid leptin concentration in missed abortion is higher than in normal. The third was that adenosine deaminae activity in serum and placenta of patients with anembryonic pregnancies and missed abortions was low. The forth was that Leptotrichia amnionii sp. nov. was the etiopathogenetic factor in missed abortion. 2. Transvaginal ultrasound assessment of irregular vaginal bleeding is effective in diagonosis of missed abortion. 3. There were medical therapy with misoprostol, mifepristone or anti progesterone for missed abortion. Misoprostol was administrated oral(sublingual) and vaginal.
