Serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are widely used in the clinical diagnosis of hepatic diseases and the assessment of liver status. They also have epidemiological significance to be prospective risk factors for bone diseases, such as osteitis deformans, rickets, osteomalacia, hyperparathyroidism, healing fractures, and osteoblastic bone tumors. In the previous study, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in several genes have been reported to be associated with serum levels of liver enzyme in American population. We aimed to confirm whether the genetic variation of RETNLB (resistin like beta) gene also influence the serum levels of liver enzyme in Korean population. We genotyped variants in or near RETNLB in a population-based sample including 994 Korean adults. Here, we performed association analysis to elucidate the possible relations of genetic polymorphisms in RETNLB gene with serum levels of liver enzyme. By examining genotype data of a total of 944 subjects in 5 hospital health promotion centers, we discovered the RETNLB gene polymorphisms are associated with serum levels of ALP. The common and highest significant polymorphism was rs736327 (${\beta}$=8.66, P=2.37E-05), rs7639070 (${\beta}$=8.56, P=3.24E-05) with ALP in all groups. Furthermore, the ALP was consistently associated with rs736327 (${\beta}$=10.40, P=5.23E-05), rs7639070 (${\beta}$=10.32, P=6.74E-05) in the male population. Consequently, we found statistically significant SNPs in RETNLB gene that are associated with serum levels of ALP. In addition, these results suggest that the individuals with the minor alleles of the SNP in the RETNLB gene may have elevated serum levels of ALP in the Korean population.

Objective : To evaluate the relationship between the dose of Clodronate and serum level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcium (Ca), and phosphate (PO4) during orthodontic tooth movement MaterialS and MethodS: A total of 18 sex-matched Wistar rats (weight=180~230g, mean age=8 weeks) were allocated into the 2.5mM Clodronate (2.5C) group, 10mM Clodronate (10C) group, or control group (n=6 for each group). After the application of a nickel-titanium closed coil spring (force of 60g) between the upper central incisors and first molars (UFM), 2.5C, 10C, or saline was injected every third day into the subperiosteum of the alveolar bone adjacent to UFM for the experimental and control groups. The animals were sacrificed 17 days later. Trunk blood was quickly collected into a heparinized tube and centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 20 min. The plasma was used for the biochemical assays of the serum level of ALP, Ca, and PO4. Kruskall-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test with Bonferroni correction were performed for the statistical analyses. Results : Dose-dependent increase in the level of ALP (P<0.01) and decrease in the level of Ca (P<0.001) were observed among the control, 2.5C, and 10C groups. Although there was no significant difference in PO4 between the 2.5C and 10C groups, the 10C group showed a significantly higher level of PO4 than the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion : Since Clodronate induced significant dose-dependent change in the serum level of ALP, Ca, and PO4 during orthodontic tooth movement, orthodontists should consider these biochemical markers not only as a diagnostic tool for bone turnover rate but also as a monitoring tool for orthodontic tooth movement.

간흡충 피낭유충을 9 마리의 토끼에 200-1,000개씩 감염시킨 후 1주, 2주, 3주, 4주, 8주, 12주, 16주, 20주, 24주, 28주, 32주, 40주, 48주 및 52주에 각각 채혈하여 혈청의 생화학 적 검사를 실시하였다. 감염 52주후에 토끼를 도살하여 간흡충을 회수하고 감염 충체수가 100 마리 미만인 토끼는 제1군으로, 100마리 이상 250마리 이하인 토끼는 제2군으로 분류하여 검 사 결과를 분석하였다. 혈청 ALT 수준은 모든 감염군에서 감염 후 3주부터 증가하여 8주에 최고치를 나타내었으며 12주 이후에는 현저히 감소하였으나 52주까지 대조군보다 높은 수준으로 유지되었다. AST는 감염후 3주에 급격히 증가하여 높은 수준으로 8주까지 유지되었으며 12주 이후에는 대조군보다 약간 높은 수준으로 유지되었다. 혈청 ${\gamma}-GT$는 감염후 2주부터 8주까지 급속히 증가하여 16주에 최고치를 나타내었으며 20주에는 현저히 감소되었으나 대조군보다 높은 수준으로 52주까지 유지되었되었다 혈청 ALP는 감염 초기부터 52주까지 계속 감소하였다. 혈청 cholesterol은 감염후 8주부터 점차 증가하여 16주에 높은 검사치를 기록하고 다시 감소하여 24주 이후에는 대조군 수준을 유지하였다. Total blllrubln과 direct bllirubin은 모든 감염군에서 변화가 없었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 토끼에서 혈청 AST, ALT 및 ${\gamma}-GT$는 간흡충 감염 초기 에 증가하고 혈청 ALP는 저하되는 양상을 보이므로 이러한 간기능 검사는 인체 간흡충증을 초기에 진단하는 자료로 활용될 수 있다고 생각된다.

Purpose: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Guibi Tang(GT) and Placenta Hominis blended Guibi Tang(GTPH) on the postmenopausal osteoporosis. Methods: In order to observe the potential effects of GT and GTPH on the osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy, antioxidative effects of GT and GTPH were measured. Antioxidative activity for the samples was investigated by Rancimat method. Animals were observed for 8 weeks, and vehicle and extracts of prescriptions were administered ad libitum. And we measured the variance of body weight, femoral bone weight, serum level of osteocalcin, calcium, alkaline phosphatase(ALP), estradiol, cholesterol, triglyceride, alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and creatinine. Results: As a result, GTPH showed antioxidative effect, but did not in GT. Body weight increased significantly in 6 weeks after ovariectomy, and the weight of GTPH administered group decreased significantly. GT and GTPH decreased the serum level of cholesterol and triglyceride. Administration of GTPH increased the serum level of ALP when compared with control group. Ovariectomy and GT, GTPH administration had no influence on serum level of ALT and creatinine. Conclusion: According to above results. We suggest that GT and GTPH may be used prevention and curing the postmenopausal osteoporosis.

This study was conducted to examine the prognosis of canine pyometra after surgical treatment in terms of their clinical indications, hematology and serum chemistry. A total of 20 bitches diagnosed as pyometra after physical examination was hospitalized at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Seoul National University, during the period of 1998 to 1999. After examining all profiles, ovariohysterectomy was performed to treat pyometra. All bitches had clinical symptoms of general depression, polyuria/polydipsia, anorexia and abdominal distension. In hematologic profiles, 65% of bitches had higher level of leukocyte count compared with normal level, but RBC and PCV values maintained within the normal ranges in most pyometric bitches. In serum chemistry profiler, ALT and ALP values were increased over the normal range, and BUN and creatine values were higher than normal ranges only in 10(50%) and 3 bitches (15%), respectively. Survival rate after ovariohisterectomy was 90% (18/20), but bitches that had higher ALT, ALP, BUN, creatine and potassium than normal values were died after surgical treatment. The results of this clinical investigation show that the recovery of pyometric bitches after ovariohysterectomy can be prognosed by hematologic and serum profiles including ALT, ALP, BUN, creatinine and potassium.

Objectives : The objective of this study is to observe the effect of Saryuktangkamibang, Saryuktang with Liriopis Tuber, Lycii Fructus, Schizandrae Fructus, and Bombyx Batryticatus, on the experimental diabetes. Methods : In order to induce diabetes experimentally, injected streptozotocin to the vein in the tail of rats and then treated oral administration of Saryuktangkamibang water extracts. In the measurement of the variation levels of glucose, ALP, creatinine, and BUN concentration for each concentration levels for serum (0.2g/100g, 0.4g/l00g, 0.6g/100g), concentration level of glucose significantly decreased in 0.4g/l00g concentration level of Saryuktangkamibang. With this 0.4g/l00g concentration level of Saryuktangkamibang, the following conclusion was derived from the measurement of the serum levels of glucose. ALP, AST, ALT, creatinine, and BUN concentration for the injection of each 4th, 11th, and 18th day. Results : 1. In the measurement for each concentrations, the glucose concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 9th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group. 2. The creatinine and BUN concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 9th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group to which 0.6g/100g injected. 3. In the measurement for each dosage dates, the glucose concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 11th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group to which 0.6g/100g injected. 4. The AST concentration level in the serum significantly decreased on the 11th day in the Saryuktangkamibang-dosed group. Conclusion : Saryuktangkamibang, Saruktang with Liriopis Tuber, Lycii Fructus, Schizandrae Fructus, and Bombyx Batryticatus, has an effect of hypoglycemia, with no hepato-renal dysfunction. For the experimental results above, in that nephrotoxicity significantly decreased on the 0.6g/100g concentration, another research such as study for effect in other ranges and study for effect of dosage term except the concentration range of this study is necessary. Also dosage of appropriate concentration of Saryuktangkamibang is thought to provide valuable aid to cure on diabetes.
