Many organic and nonorganic agents can cause chemical pneumonitis. Chemical pneumonitis induced by inhalation of acetic acid is a rare clinical condition. As acetic acid is a water soluble agent, it causes chemical irritation to respiratory tract and causes variable symptoms. We experienced a case of acute lung injury due to inhalation of acetic acid fume. A 56-year-old male patient was admitted due to dyspnea with vomiting for one day. After he inhaled acetic acid fume in occupational situation, he had chest tightness, chilling sense, and productive cough. Our case was good response to oxygen inhalation, antibiotics, and systemic steroids.

아세트산은 테레프탈산 제조 공정에서 용매로 사용되며, 사용된 아세트산은 반응 후 증류 공정을 통하여 분리 회수된다. 그러나 소량의 아세트산은 그대로 폐수에 유입되어 버려지는데, 흡착공정을 이용하면 소량의 아세트산을 회수하여 다시 재사용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 활성탄을 아세트산 흡착제로 활용하여 상용활성탄의 아세트산 흡착능과 흡착능에 대한 온도 및 흡착제 산처리 효과를 살펴보았다. 활성탄의 아세트산 흡착능은 흡착 키네틱 실험으로 관찰한 결과, 303 K에서는 0.176 mmol/g의 흡착능을 보였으나, 343 K에서는 0.118 mmol/g으로 흡착능이 떨어졌다. 즉, 온도가 증가하면 활성탄의 아세트산 흡착능은 감소하는 결과가 나타났다. 산처리실험에서는 활성탄 표면을 염산 혹은 옥살산으로 처리할 경우, 활성탄의 아세트산 흡착능이 소폭 증가하였다. 이는 산처리로 인해 활성탄 표면에 카르복실산, 혹은 페놀 수산화기 등 표면 관능기가 증가하였기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 아세트산 탈착 실험에서는 정량분석결과, 흡착된 아세트산의 89% 정도가 탈착되었다.

The aim of our study is to investigate the anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of an ethanol extract of the leaf and stem of Aralia cordata. Writhing responses induced by acetic acid, tail immersion test, and formalin-induced paw pain response for nociception and formalin-induced paw edema for inflammation were evaluated in mice. A. cordata (50 - 200 mg/kg, p.o.) and ibuprofen (100 mg/kg, p.o.), a positive non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), inhibited the acetic acid-induced writhing response, but they did not protect the thermal nociception in tail immersion test. However, morphine (5 mg/kg, s.c.) used as positive opioid control alleviated both the acetic acid-induced writhing response and thermal nociception in tail immersion test. In the formalin test, A. cordata (50 - 200mg/kg) and ibuprofen (200mg/kg) inhibited the second phase response (peripheral inflammatory response), but not the first phase response (central response), whereas morphine inhibited both phase pain responses. Both A. cordata (100 mg/kg) and ibuprofen (200 mg/kg) significantly alleviated the formalin-induced increase of paw thickness, the index of inflammation. These results show for the first time that the leaf and stem of A. cordata has a significant anti-nociceptive effect that seems to be peripheral, but not central. A. cordata also displays an anti-inflammatory activity in an acute inflammation model. The present study supports a possible use of the leaf and stem of A. cordata to treat pain and inflammation.

CO-intoxication is a serious problem in public health since the coal briquette has been used as one of fuels from 1950's. It has been discussed that the treatment with acetic acid vapor may be effective for CO-intoxication. This study was undertaken to investigate the action of acetic acid therapy, comparing with the spontaneous air treatment The acetic acid vapor was introduced to the blood combined with CO (in vivo and in vitro). The dissociation of COHb, the production of COHb, the levels of Hb and adrenaline and nor-adrenaline were measured. The effect of acetic acid vapor on dissociation of COHb was about 7-9% more effective than the spontaneous air treatment. The acetic acid vapor treatment for the dissociation of COHb was similar effect to the spontaneous air treatment. In an experiment of the combining CO gas with blood, the acetic acid vapor treatment was less effective in the production of COHb than that of spontaneous air treatment. Treatment with the acetic acid vapor to rabbit intoxicated with CO gas induced a little amount of Hb in blood comparing with the spontaneous air treatment. But, it is not a significant increment statistically. By the acetic acid vapor treatment after CO gas intoxication the adrenaline was increased and noradrenaline was decreased. With these results, it is assumed that the effect of acetic acid therapy on CO-gas intoxication would be caused by inductions of Hb and adrenaline and to be reduction of nor-adrenaline.

In a preliminary screening of the plant extracts for the antigastritic action in rats, the extract of Aralia elata(Araliaceae) showed positive activity in HCI plus ethanol induced gastric lesion. Systematic fractions with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and butanol resulted in the most patent activity with the butanol fraction: This butanol fraction at the oral dose of 200 mg/kg exhibited significant inhibition of absolute alcohol induced gastric lesion which was more potent than 100 mg/kg of cimetidine and had significant stimulation of mucus secretion. The butanol fraction showed significant decreases in the ulcer indices of Shay ulcers and inhibition of gastric juice secretion with acid output in pylorus-ligated stomachs of rats. It also suppressed the acetic acid induced gastric ulcer. These results might suggest that the butanol fraction had inhibitory action in gastric lesion and ulceration through inhibition of gastric acid secretion and stimulation of mucin secretion in the stomachs of rats.

Angelicas Tenuissimae Radix (ATR) has traditionally been used for flu-like symptoms, limb-ache and disability, and even for toothache. In the present study, the effect of ATR on carrageenan-induced edema, acetic acid-induced abdominal pain, and heat-induced hyperalgesia were investigated using rats and mice. In the present results, ATR reduced carrageenan-induced edema in rats and inhibited acetic acid-induced abdominal pain in mice. Here in this study, we have shown that ATR possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

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.

Gastritis and gastric ulcer were known to be induced by gastic acid, stress, ethanol, Helicobacter pylori and free radical, etc. This study was performed for the development of a new drug or nutraceutical from medicinal plants or natural products with anti-gastritis, anti-ulcerative and gastroprotective activities. The water extract of Scutellaria baicalensis was exhibited potent inhibition in HCl ethanol-induced gastric lesion, acetic acid-induced and Shay ulcers, indicating the effects on gastric lesion and ulcer in rats. The water extract of Scutellaria baicalensis significantly inhibited HCl ethanol-induced gastric lesions at the oral dose of 300, 500 mg/kg. In pylorus ligated rats, the treatments of the water extract from Scutellaria baicalensis showed decrease in the volume of gastric secretion and acid output and increase pH at oral dose of 300, 500 mg/kg. And significantly reduced acetic acid-induced ulcer at the oral dose of 500 mg/kg for 12 days. In this study, we have found that the water extract from Scutellaria baicalensis had significant improvement in acute gastritis and ulcer at the dose of 300, 500 mg/kg and in chronic gastritis and ulcer at the dose of 500 mg/kg. Also we evaluated the antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori treated with Scutellaria baicalensis. Scutellaria baicalensis had a equivalent antibacterial activity with ampicilin against H. pylori at the dose of $100\;{\mu}/ml$. In histological examination, the water extract of Scutellaria baicalensis drastically restored gastric damages induced by HCl ethanol solution, pylorus- ligature and acetic acid. Therefore, we may use the water extract from Scutellaria baicalensis as antigastritic and antiulcerative agent for the purpose of the improvement or treatment of gastritis and gastric ulcer.

Triterpenoids, ursolic acid (1) and 23-hydroxyursolic acid (2) were obtained from the hydrolysis of BuOH fraction of Cussonia bancoensis extract to test anti nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effect of C. bancoensis (Araliaceae). Compound 1 and 2 exhibited anti-nociceptive effects, which were determined by acetic acid-induced writhing test and hot plate test. The effect of 2 was much more potent in acetic acid-induced writhing test than in hot plate test. Compound 1 and 2 significantly inhibited 1％-carrageenan-induced edema in the rat. These results suggest that the two triterpenes, ursolic acid and 23-hydroxyursolic acid, are responsible for the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effect of C. bancoesnsis.
