Objectives: We investigated the effects of Allii Fistulosi Bulbus (AFB) on high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity in mice and the regulation of energy metabolism in muscle tissues of mice. Methods: The C57BL/6 mice (6 weeks, male) were fed a HFD for 8 weeks and then administrated with AFB extract at 500 mg/kg (p.o.) once daily for 4 weeks. The body weight (BW), muscle weight, calorie intake, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and serum glucose, insulin, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were measured in mice. It was also observed the histological changes of pancreas, liver, and fat tissues with hematoxylin and eosin staining. It was investigated the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), Ser/Thr kinase (AKT), and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and the expression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4), and sirtuin1 (Sirt1) in gastrocnemius tissues by western blot, respectively. Results: The increases of BWs, calorie intakes and FBG levels in obesity mice were decreased significantly by the administration of AFB extract. The AFB extract administration was reduced significantly serum levels of glucose, insulin, and LDL-C in obesity mice. The AFB extract inhibited lipid accumulation in liver tissues, hyperplasia of pancreatic islets, and enlargement of fat tissues in obesity mice. The phosphorylation of IRS-1 and AKT was increased significantly in muscle tissues and AMPK phosphorylation and the GLUT4 and Sirt1 expression were decreased significantly in muscle tissues after the AFB administration. Conclusions: Our study indicates that AFB extract improves symptoms of obesity through regulation of energy regulating proteins in muscle tissues.

To certify the protective effect of herbal medicine against oxygen free radical-induced myocardiotoxicity, cytotoxicity was measured using MTT, LDH activity and Beating rate assay in the presence of Guaruhaebaekbanha-tang(GHBT) extracts or single constituents of this prescription. Myocardial toxicity was evaluated in neonatal rat myocardiocytes in cultures. In the present study, xanthine oxidase/hypoxanthine(XO/HX) resulted in a decrease in cell viability, increases in LDH activity in culture medium and decreases in beating rate in cultured myocardial cells. In the effect of GHBT extract, it showed the prevention from the XO/HX-induced cardiotoxicity by the increases of cell viability and beating rate as well as the decrease of LDH activity. In the protective effect of Fructus Trichosanthis(FT), Bulbus Allii Macrostemi(BAM) and Rhizoma Pinelliae(RP), all the extracts were significantly effective in the protection of XO/HX-induced cardiotoxocity in cultured myocardial cells by the increase of beating rate as well as th decrease of LDH activity. From these results, they show that XO/HX is cardiotoxic in cultured myocardial cells derived from neonatal rat, and it suggests that GHBT, FT, SAM, RP extracts are positively effective in the blocking in XO/HX-induced cardiotoxicity.

The purpose of this research was to investigate cytotoxity of Sunbanhwalmyungeum extract. Cytotoxity was determined by MTT assay method. After tumor cell lines(G361, BI6F10, MDA, A549) transplantation, the extracts of SunBangHwalMyungEum and its composition oriental medicines were administered, cytotoxity was measured by absorbance. The results were obtained as follows. 1. Sunbanhwalmyungeum extract and its composition oriental medicines extracts showed the concentration was higher, the more cytotoxity increased. 2. Both water and ethanol extracts of Sunbanhwalmyungeum showed excellent cytotoxity against G361, B16F10, MDA, A549 and high cytotoxity over 80$\%$ against G361, B16F10, MDA except A549 at the concentration of 1000ppm. 3. In water extract, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Gleditsiae Spina, Trichosanthis Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix, Ledebouriellae Radix showed excellent cytotoxity.

Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Gleditsiae Spina, Trichosanthis Radix, Paeoniae Radix Rubra showed high cytotoxity in both water and ethanol extrats. 5. In water extract, Glycyrrhizae Radix, Ledebouriellae Radix, Myrrha showed high cytotoxity against A361, Lonicerae Flos, Olibanum, Fritillariae cirrhosae Bulbus, Paeoniae Radix Rubra, Manitis Squama against B16F10, Paeoniae Radix Rubra, Manitis Squama against MDA, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Angelicae gigantis Radix against A549. 6. In ethanol extract, Lonicerae Flos, Trichosanthis Radix showed high cytotoxity against G361, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Angelicae gigantis Radix, Gleditsiae Spina, Olibanum, Angelicae dahuricae Radix, Fritillariae cirrhosae Bulbus, Paeoniae Radix Rubra, Glycyrrhizae Radix, Ledebouriellae Radix, Myrrha against B16F10, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Manitis Squama against MDA, Citri Pericarpium, Manitis Squama against A549.

To certify the protective effect of herbal medicine on myocardial damage against oxygen free radical-induced myocardiotoxicity, cytotoxicity was measured using by MTT assay, LDH activity and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) assay in the presence of Guaruhaebaekbaekju-tang(GHBT) extracts or single constituents of this prescription, Myocardial toxicity was evaluated in neonatal rat myocardiocytes in cultures. In the present study, xanthine oxidase/hypoxanthine (XO/HX) resulted in a decrease in cell viability, an increase in LDH activity in culture medium and lipid peroxidation in cultured myocardial cells, In the effect of GHBT extract, it showed the prevention from the XO/HX-induced cardiotoxicity such as the decrease of LDH activity and lipid peroxidation. In the protective effect of Fructus Trichosanthis (FT) and Bulbus Allii Macrostemi (BAM), all the extracts were significantly effective in the protection of XO/HX-induced cardiotoxocity in cultured myocardial cells. From these results, they show that XO/HX is cardiotoxic in cultured myocardial cells derived from neonatal rats, and it suggests that GHBT, FT and BAM extracts are positively effective in the blocking XO/HX-induced cardiotoxicity.

In order to estimate accurate quality of crude drugs in which pest was found during the storage, damaged 15 items were collected on current markets. We identified insect name by investigation of insect morphology, bug cluster, and morphology of damaged crude drugs. Three kind of pests were identified in the above 15 items as follows: A: Pyralis sp. (Pyralidae) was observed in damaged Platycodi Radix. B: Anthreus verbasci (Anobiidae) was found out in damaged Angelicae gigantis Radix, and Dioscoreae Rhizoma. C: Stegobium pamceum (Anobiidae) was discovered in the 12 crude drugs as follows: Puerariae Radix, Angelicae koreanae Radix, Angehcae tenuissimae Radix, Codonopsis Radix, Ledebouriellae Radix, Ginseng Radix alba, Angelicae dahuricae Radix, Belamcandae Rhizoma, Paeoniae Radix, Cnidii Rhizoma, Alismatis Rhizoma, and Fritillariae Bulbus.

A 14-year-old castrated Shih Tzu weighing 5.4 kg presented with painful penile erection and dysuria that had been ongoing for 2 days. Treatment with salbutamol and gabapentin was initiated, but after 24 hours, the dog had not responded, so it was decided to proceed with penile amputation. The patient went into cardiac arrest during the surgery and died, despite attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation. During the surgery, the penis was found to have an enlarged, tortuous, purple blood vessel located dorso-caudally to the bulbus glandis. A hemi-circular fibrous mass was found inside the vessel on histopathological examination; this mass may have induced the ischemic priapism by occluding the vein. This report describes a rare case of ischemic priapism in dogs.

The oculocardiac reflex is a trigeminal-vagal reflex that manifests as cardiac arrythmias, most often bradycardia. The reflex can be triggered by manipulation of periorbital structures and unintended pressure on the bulbus oculi maxillofacial procedures. In this brief communication, we describe an unusual trigger of the oculocardiac reflex during maxillofacial surgery that resulted in severe bradycardia. This case highlights the need for careful securement of medical devices and attention to surgical technique to avoid undue pressure on draped fascial structures.

80% extract of Gamigwaruhaebaekbaekju-Tang (GGHBT), Gagamgwaruhaebaekbaekju-Tang (GGGHBT) and Gamigwaruhaebaekwhanggum-Tang (GGHWT) remarkably showed inhibitory effects on HMG-CoA reductase, lipid peroxidation of rat liver and LDL oxidation, and DPPH free radical scavenging effect in a dose-dependent manner. Especially, GGHWT which is formulated with Trichosanthis Fructus, Pinelliae Tuber, Aurantii Immatures Fructus, Magnoliae Cortex, Allii Macrostemi Bulbus, Cinnamomi Ramulus and Scutellariae Radix on the basis of Gwaruhaebaekbaekiu-Tang listed on the traditional medicinal references showed more effective hypocholesterolemic activities in vitro bioassay than the other prescriptions.
