Introduction on the factors influence dosage that is equivalent in effectiveness between animals. They comprised drug metabolism, minimum concentration have with effect in serum, the effective time, cellular respiration, organic weight rate comparison with body weight, heat production, cytochrom C, volume of kidney and body surface.

Diuretic effect of Bach hac fluid extract was investigated on white rat. Results showed that Bach hac (Acaramthus nasutin – Acanthaceae) in the dose of 4g/kg – 6g/kg body weight has increased the elimination of Na+, K+, Cl- and Ca++ ions through kidney, the effect was most obvious in the 2nd and 4th hours after administration under any doses.

Restorative effects of Radix Notoginseng on liver damage provoked by CCl4 in experimental rats. Results showed that an oral adminitration of Radix Notoginseng (RN) 5g/kg of body weight exerted moderate effect of recovering on CCl4 induced liver damage in rats. Although the serum ASAT enzym/concentration in CCl4 – intoxicated and RN treated group was still higher than that of control group after 1 day, it was significantly lower than that of intoxicated and non treated group (p<0,01). There were no difference in ALAT concentration between these 2 groups. 4day course of treatment by RN has reduced both ASAT and ALAT serum levels to normal levels while ASAT level in CCl4 intoxicated rats was still higher

The study was carried out on 100 healthy rats, weight of 12020g which were divided into 10 groups. Raw materials: BB103 pure powder and mefloquine. Results: In rats received BB103 with doses of 50 mg/kg and mefloquine 50 mg/kg in 5 days, there were no significant changes on process of conditioned reflex, speed of reflex establishment was stable, response time and extinguishing time of reflex were similar to those of the control group (p>0.05). In rats received BB103 with doses of 100 mg/kg and mefloquine 100 mg/kg in 5 days, there were significant changes on speed of reflex establishment and response time (p<0.01-0.05). There were differences on speed of reflex establishment, speed of stable reflex in rats received BB103 and mefloquine (p<0.01-0.05)

The tonic effect of Poliarchis dives (CT1) was studied on the change of weight of the spermatic bag in male mice. Results showed that this preparation enhanced the weight of spermatic bag by 183,33%. Testosterone-like spermatogenesis activity of the preparation was suggested

Antioxydant effect of radix notogingseng fluid extract 1:2 was studied in mice. Experiment mice were divided randomly into 3 groups x 10 animals. Control group (group 1) was given orally with NaCl 0,9% + oliver oil infiction, group 2 was given orally with NaCl 0,9% + CCl4 infection, group 3 with notogingseng extract 5g/kg of mice. Results showed the antioxydant effect of notogingseng at moderate level. It increased the liver GSH content in comparing with intocicated group.

There was no acute toxic on rabbit's bodies after ingested activated charcoal suspension (1g/kg and 1,2g/kg body weight). Circulating blood cells and the function of kidney and liver were not changed after 7 days ingested activated charcoals

A study on the roborant effect of drug by swimming test in the experimental rat or mice was carried out. The swimming time calculated from standing swimming until rat was exhausted that can not swim. There were 2 method of calculation, including average swimming time and second swimming time comparing with the first swimming time.

Gamma irradiator is widely used for cell, animal experiment, irradiation for blood, dose measurement, and education. Biobeam8000 gamma irradiator (STS Steuerungstechnik &. Strahlenschutz GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany, Cs137, 81.4 TBq) that KIRAMS (Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Science) has is a irradiation device that enables to be used in large-capacity of 7.5 L and extensive area. Cs-137 source moves range of 24 cm back-and-forth in a regular cycle in beaker for uniform irradiation and a beaker that puts a specimen like existing radiation irradiator such as Gammacell3000 rotates 360degrees during irradiation. Precise dose information according to the location of radiation source would be needed because of the movement of radiation source, whereas radiation could be uniformly irradiated in comparison with existing gamma irradiator. In this study, dose distribution of the inside beaker located in Biomeam8000 gamma irradiator was measured using glass dosimeter, and dose evaluation and distribution regarding dose linearity and dose reproducibility were implemented based on measurement results. This aims to show guideline for efficient use of irradiator based on measurement result when doing experiment or radiation exposure.
