The order of relative efficacy of the extracts in both experiments was as follows: C < D equal to or greater than A < B. Using EPR spectroscopy, the Kampo extracts were found to be oxidated by means of PbO2 and to become relatively stable radicals, which shows that they possess electro-donor properties. A relationship between their ability to inhibit peroxidation of LDL and liposomes and their ability to become a radical was found. The Kampo medicines which produced more radicals inhibited peroxidation of LDL and liposomes more effectively. By means of EPR spectroscopy, Kampo B was found to reduce the vitamin E radical. The results contribute to the understanding of the positive effects of Kampo extracts in the diseases in which a negative influence of free radicals is assumed.</p>","PeriodicalId":9871,"journal":{"name":"Ceskoslovenska farmacie","volume":"41 7-8","pages":"253-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12659697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the establishment of the University of Trnava to 1777, they attended lectures and took examinations at its Faculty of Medicine, then from 1784 onwards in Budapest. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia, the candidates of pharmacy studied in Prague, and after the closing of Czech universities (1939) in Bratislava. Between 1940 and 1948 there existed a three-year course, and later a four-year course at the Faculty of Medicine, the contents of which were close to the level of the development of sciences and the requirements of pharmaceutical practice. A logical completion of the development of the course of studies was the establishment of independent Faculties of Pharmacy in Bratislava and Brno and the prolongation of the course to five years. Commencing with the academic year 1977/78, the course of studies was divided into three specializations, General Pharmacy, Clinical Pharmacy and Technological Pharmacy.
