AxleWulf (born August 31,[1] 1994) is the primary username of Robert Wulfman, used when just Axle is not available. He is a DJ, musician, podcaster and mixed media furry and abstract artist, who lives in Arlington, Texas, USA.[2]
Character Description[edit]
Axle (the character) was born a fusky but after various encounters he's gained shapeshifting abilities, tentacles and unique biology.[3] After one particular encounter his tail gained sentience and was later named Zenyx.[4] The Zenyx character also has his own social media profiles on various sites.
Most commonly known as Axle, he frequently changes suffixes. This is usually done to denote what form he is currently taking, but is also used for comedic effect. This sort of name changing is most common over IRC, Twitter and Telegram. He wears a badge that has 49 different versions of his nickname on it in reference of this.[5]
The common "Wulf" suffix is more of a reference to his real name then it is to actual wolves.[3] Born Robert Birchett, he started using Wulfman as a stage name and is working to make it his legal surname to avoid confusion.[citation needed] Many of his online profiles list him as Robert Wulfman, or sometimes AxleFusky, instead of AxleWulf.
Music Career[edit]
Axle has been DJing and making his own music in a variety of electronic genres since mid 2008.[6] He has been releasing most of his music via Soundcloud and DJ mixes via Mixcloud.
At Furry Fiesta 2016 he performed a two and a half hour long DJ set in the basement con suite, the recording of which can be found on his Mixcloud page[7].
Music For Deaf People[edit]
In 2010 AxleWulf recorded an experimental album under the name Music For Deaf People using KORG DS-10[citation needed] and burned 35 copies which he handed out to friends and family.[8] A year later he recorded a second half to the album which went unreleased until 2012 when both parts were uploaded to his Bandcamp account.[9][10] Stylistically, the project can be described as a combination of dark ambient, noise and space music.
Tracks of the Month[edit]
Since November 2014 he has been releasing a monthly DJ chart on Beatport called Tracks Of The Month[11] which was later expanded into playlists on Soundcloud[12] and Spotify.[13] In June 2016, a podcast was started for the series with the first episode uploaded to Mixcloud,[14] with later episodes on iTunes.[15] The show also features new & unreleased tracks produced by Axle.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has ordered intelligence officials to conduct a broad review of election-season cyberattacks, including the email hacks that rattled the presidential campaign and raised fresh concerns about Russia's meddling in U.S. elections, the White House said Friday.
The CIA has concluded that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help President-elect Donald Trump win the White House, and not just to undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral system, the Washington Post reported on Friday. Citing U.S. officials briefed on the matter, the Post said intelligence agencies had identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who provided thousands of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and others, including the chairman of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, to WikiLeaks. The officials described the individuals as people known to the intelligence community who were part of a wider Russian operation to boost Trump and reduce Clinton's chances of winning the election.
Syrian warplanes again pounded Aleppo's last rebel-held districts, as the United States said American and Russian officials would meet on Saturday in a bid to save the city from "complete" destruction.

US officials will meet Saturday with their Russian counterparts in Geneva to try to stop Aleppo "being absolutely, completely destroyed", US Secretary of State John Kerry said.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This elegant wine with lovely texture and many different layers, speaks to the potential of the Jacob Hart site for Chardonnay. When first opened and poured into the glass aromas of lemon curd, quince, orange, lime & cherry blossom, tangerine and nectarine emerge. As the wine opens aromas of yellow plums, sea shells, smoke, toasted hazelnuts and English ivy give greater complexity to the whole. In the mouth, the attack is pure, full and rich, but balanced with bright acidity and an intense structure that lends precision and focus to the wine. The mid-palate is beautifully balanced with flavors of citrus zest, river stones, elderflower, lemon grass and some herbal and honeyed notes. Walking a tightrope between ripeness, structure and freshness, the wine showcases the intensity and depth of the 2014 vintage. As the wine moves to the finish, it becomes almost weightless and transparent while lasting forever on the palate with a pronounced minerality. Complex and complete, well-structured and intense, the 2014 REX HILL Jacob Hart Chardonnay has the power and balance to age for many years. Enjoy and savor!

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE,v.EDWARD J. SMITH, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
Appeal from Circuit Court of Champaign County No. 03CF2166 Honorable Thomas J. Difanis, Judge Presiding.
Published opinion
The Supreme Court of Illinois has remanded this cause to our court to address a jurisdictional question it raised with regard to defendant's notice of appeal. We address the supreme court's question and vacate our March 13, 2007, opinion.
On November 10, 2004, pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant, Edward J. Smith, pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver (720 ILCS 570/401(c)(2) (West 2002)), and the trial court sentenced him to 10 years' imprisonment. After a January 31, 2005, hearing, the court denied defendant's amended motion to withdraw his guilty plea, and defendant appealed. In November 2005, this court affirmed the trial court's judgment. People v. Smith, No. 4-05-0104 (November 1, 2005) (unpublished order under Supreme Court Rule 23).
In February 2006, defendant filed a pro se pleading entitled "motion to correct sentence," in which he argued his two-year term of mandatory supervised release (MSR) (actually a three-year term (see 730 ILCS 5/5-8-1(d)(1) (West 2002))) was void because it was unconstitutional. Defendant requested the trial court to "encompass" his MSR term into his sentence. On 21, 2006, the court sua sponte denied the motion, noting the pleadings were "frivolous and patently without merit." The court also sent a letter to the warden of the prison where defendant was housed, informing the warden of its finding and noting section 3-6-3(d) of the Unified Code of Corrections (Unified Code) (730 ILCS 5/3-6-3(d) (West Supp. 2003)) with regard to defendant's good-conduct credit.
On March 20, 2006, defendant filed a notice of appeal. The notice of appeal listed the date of judgment appealed as November 10, 2004, and labeled the nature of the order appealed as a "conviction." In a March 21, 2006, docket entry, the trial court directed the circuit clerk to prepare and file a notice of appeal and appointed OSAD to represent defendant. In a written order dated March 21, 2006, and filed March 23, 2006, the trial court appointed OSAD to represent defendant and ordered the circuit clerk to prepare a notice of appeal. On March 23, 2006, the circuit clerk filed a document certifying she sent a copy of the attached notice of appeal to various offices, including this court. A notice of appeal was not attached to the copy of the circuit clerk's certification in the appellate record, and this court's records indicate we only received defendant's pro se notice of appeal.
On appeal, defendant contended the trial court erred by finding his February 2006 "motion to correct sentence" was a "lawsuit" as defined by section 3-6-3(d)(2) of the Unified Code (730 ILCS 5/3-6-3(d)(2) (West Supp. 2003)). While this court always examines the record to verify our jurisdiction, we have normally, in the past, only expressly addressed our jurisdiction when raised by the parties or when we have lacked jurisdiction. Since defendant's appeal is in a criminal matter and the rules governing criminal appeals also apply to post-conviction proceedings (see 134 Ill. 2d R. 651(d)), this court believed it had jurisdiction under Supreme Court Rule 606 (210 Ill. 2d R. 606), which only requires substantial compliance with the form notice set forth in subsection (d) of that rule (210 Ill. 2d R. 606(d)). Moreover, we note the facts of this case clearly indicate what order the pro se defendant was appealing, and the State, as appellee, has never made a claim to the contrary.
Thus, we entered an opinion that found defendant's motion to correct sentence was a post-conviction petition, rejected defendant's "lawsuit" argument, and affirmed the trial court's dismissal. People v. Smith, 371 Ill. App. 3d 817, 820-21, 867 N.E.2d 1150, 1153-54 (2007).
Defendant filed a petition for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Illinois, which that court granted. People v. Smith, 224 Ill. 2d 589, 871 N.E.2d 60 (2007). Citing Supreme Court Rule 303(b)(2) (210 Ill. 2d R. 303(b)(2)), the supreme court found defendant's March 20, 2006, pro se notice of appeal was deficient and did not confer jurisdiction on this court to review defendant's appellate contentions. People v. Smith, 228 Ill. 2d 95, 104-05, 885 N.E.2d 1053, 1058-59 (2008). The court further noted that if defendant had filed an amended notice of appeal under Rule 303(b)(5) (210 Ill. 2d R. 303(b)(5)), the jurisdictional defect might have been corrected and the appellate court might have acquired jurisdiction. Smith, 228 Ill. 2d at 105, 885 N.E.2d at 1059. Thus, the supreme court remanded the cause to this court to consider the jurisdictional question it raised regarding defendant's notice of appeal. Smith, 228 Ill. 2d at 105-06, 885 N.E.2d at 1059. On March 24, 2008, the supreme court denied a petition for rehearing. We now address the supreme court's question.
A. Motion Taken with the Case
On remand, defendant filed a motion to order the trial court to amend the notice of appeal nunc pro tunc to reflect the exact nature and date of the appealed order. In the alternative, defendant requested this court to allow him to brief the issue of jurisdiction.
Given the procedural posture of this case, we decline to entertain defendant's motion and thus dismiss it. First, we note defendant raised similar arguments in his petition for rehearing in the supreme court, and the supreme court denied the petition. Moreover, the supreme court remanded the cause with specific instructions to ascertain whether an amended notice of appeal was filed and did not instruct us to entertain a motion to cure the defect it found. Further, while we originally concluded this court had jurisdiction under Rule 606, the supreme court's analysis cites Rule 303(b)(2) (210 Ill. 2d R. 303(b)(2)) and cases that address Rule 303(b)(2). See Smith, 228 Ill. 2d at 104-05, 885 N.E.2d at 1058-59. Thus, we do not construe the supreme court's opinion as authorizing us to conclude we were vested with jurisdiction under Rule 606.
B. Amendment
As stated, the supreme court has remanded the cause for an answer to a very specific question, whether defendant amended his notice of appeal under Rule 303(b)(5) (210 Ill. 2d R. 303(b)(5)). The record on appeal contains only one notice of appeal, which is defendant's pro se notice of appeal.
We do note that, on the day after defendant filed his March 20, 2006, pro se notice of appeal, the trial court ordered the circuit clerk to prepare and file a notice of appeal on defendant's behalf. Under Rule 303(a)(1) (210 Ill. 2d R. 303(a)(1)), defendant had until March 23, 2006, to file a timely notice of appeal. Even if the circuit clerk had filed a notice of appeal but not designated it as an amended notice, we could have regarded it as such since, under Rule 303(b)(5) (210 Ill. 2d R. 303(b)(5)), an appellant may amend the notice of appeal without leave of court within the period for filing the notice of appeal. See Hammond v. Firefighters Pension Fund, 369 Ill. App. 3d 294, 302, 859 N.E.2d 1094, 1100 (2006). However, neither the record on appeal nor our court file contains a notice of appeal prepared by the circuit clerk. Thus, we find an amended notice of appeal was not filed in this case.
Accordingly, based on the supreme court's opinion, we lacked jurisdiction to entertain defendant's appeal from the February 16, 2006, summary dismissal of his motion to correct sentence, and our prior opinion should be vacated.
For the reasons stated, we find defendant did not file an amended notice of appeal. Thus, under the supreme court's decision in Smith, 228 Ill. 2d at 106, 885 N.E.2d at 1059, our March 13, 2007, opinion addressing defendant's appeal is vacated for lack of jurisdiction.
Question answered and opinion vacated.

Although it seems that just about every earnings report this quarter has included some combination of a revenue/earnings miss and reduced guidance (or all the above), companies do exist that have done just the opposite - beat and raise. One that definitely merits mention is a small cap company called American CareSource (ANCI).
This aggregator of ancillary care providers reported EPS of $0.06 on revenues of $16.1 million for the quarter. The revenue figure was in line with a positive revenue-only pre-announcement a couple weeks ago, while EPS beat by 2 cents. Furthermore, ANCI upped its guidance for full year 2008 revenue from $50m - $55m to $55m - $57m. When pressed on the conference call, management reiterated its opinion that their guidance is "conservative".
So, why is this company performing so well? Simply put, they satisfy a definitive need while also helping clients lower their costs. ANCI maintains a national network of ancillary care providers such as MRI clinics, dialysis centers, and surgical facilities. The vast majority of health care spending in the US (~ 70%) goes to hospitals and primary care physicians, leaving payors such as Unions, PPOs and TPAs with less incentive to focus on constructing the ancillary care portion of their networks. This is where ANCI comes in. By partnering with ANCI, these insurers can typically save roughly 10-15% on their claims right out of the gate while also benefitting from increased network density, which is good for their plan members. As the insurer and ANCI work together, network overlap becomes seamless, saving the insurer even more, while also routing more patients to ANCI's providers, resulting in increased revenues for ANCI.
ANCI has announced the signing of 6 new clients this year as revenues have grown to $16.1m in Q3 2008 versus $7m in Q3 2007. Notbaly, revenues have increased on a sequential basis for the last 7 quarters and show no signs of breaking that trend. Management believes the model supports 15% organic growth and also notes a policy of announcing new contracts only when implemented. In one recent contract, full implementation (and thus announcement) was delayed due to a merger on the client side and its effect on IT rollover. Given management's policy here, it would appear possible, if not probable, that additional client(s) are in the process of coming online and thus additional announcements may be forthcoming.
ANCI appears on track to exit 2008 with a revenue run rate of $65m - $70m. Assuming organic growth of 15%, that leaves 2009 revenues approaching $80m assuming no new business wins. At $80m, the resulting EV/Sales ratio of 1.16x is clearly compelling given year over year revenue growth well in excess of 100%. In light of ANCI's track record, it appears safe to assume new business wins will occur. Particularly in a recessionary environment where cost savings are crucial, ANCI offers a value proposition that is very compelling both in terms of reduced claims costs and reduced overhead on the part of the insurer. ANCI's business model also provides operating leverage as more and more claims flow through its relatively fixed-cost IT platform. Margins have continued to tick up and appear set to continue doing so.
The chief complaint with respect to ANCI is that its stock can be illiquid at times, giving way to wide intra-day trading ranges. However, with Q3 now in the books, management is doing its part to get the word out as it hits the investor conference circuit. Next up is a presentation on Tuesday November 18 with a webcast available on ANCI's website, which I highly recommend listening to.

JEFFREY STEVEN GARRETT,PLAINTIFF,v.HARRY TURNER, ET AL.,DEFENDANTS.
United States District Court For the Northern District of California
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS IN PART WITH PREJUDICE AND IN PART WITH LEAVE TO AMEND (re: Dkt. #4)
Presently before the Court is Defendants' unopposed motion to dismiss Plaintiff's complaint. See Dkt. #4. The Court deems this matter appropriate for resolution without oral argument. See Civ. L.R. 7-1(b). Accordingly, the March 24, 2011 motion hearing and Case Management Conference are vacated. For the reasons described below, Defendants' motion is
GRANTED in part with prejudice and GRANTED in part with leave to amend.
Plaintiff Jeffrey Garrett filed a claim in Small Claims Court for the Superior Court of Santa Clara County on December 1, 2010. See Exh. A. to Defs.' Notice of Removal. In that document, Plaintiff alleges that he "was a member of Local Lodge #93 for 6 months at Northrop Grumman," "was overcharged EVERY week for dues," and that the "Union did not help him when [he] was terminated." Plaintiff claimed that Defendants owed him $730.00 for the alleged overcharged dues that occurred between October 2009 and April 2010. Plaintiff named as Defendants: Harry Turner, Laura Saiu, Richard Breckenridge, and Kim Foss.
Defendants timely removed this matter on December 9, 2010. See Defs.' Notice of Removal. According to Defendants, all Defendants named by Plaintiff are individual officers or representatives of Machinists Local Lodge 93 (the "Union"), a labor organization. In addition, Defendants state that Plaintiff was an employee under the terms and conditions of a collective bargaining agreement between the Union and the employer. Id. at 2. Defendants removed this action arguing that it arises under, and is preempted by, §301 of the Labor Management Relations
On December 21, 2010, Defendants moved to dismiss on the ground that Union officers acting in their union capacity are shielded from liability under the LMRA. Upon reassignment, Act ("LMRA"), 29 U.S.C. §185.
Defendants' motion was set for a hearing on March 24, 2011. Plaintiff, proceeding pro se in this 13 action, did not file an Opposition.
"proper only where there is no cognizable legal theory or an absence of sufficient facts alleged to support a cognizable legal theory." Shroyer v. New Cingular Wireless Services, Inc., 606 F.3d 658, 664 (9th Cir. 2010) (quoting Navarro v. Block, 250 F.3d 729, 732 (9th Cir. 2001)). In considering whether the complaint is sufficient to state a claim, the court must accept as true all of the factual allegations contained in the complaint. Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949 (2009). However, the court need not accept as true "allegations that contradict matters properly subject to judicial notice or by exhibit" or "allegations that are merely conclusory, unwarranted deductions of fact, or unreasonable inferences." St. Clare v. Gilead Scis., Inc. (In re Gilead Scis. Sec. Litig.), 536 F.3d
If the Court concludes that the complaint should be dismissed, it must then decide whether to grant leave to amend. "[A] district court should grant leave to amend even if no request to amend the pleading was made, unless it determines that the pleading could not possibly be cured
Dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim is 1049, 1055 (9th Cir. 2008).
by the allegation of other facts." Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1130 (9th Cir. 2000) (quoting Doe v. United States, 58 F.3d 494, 497 (9th Cir. 1995)). In addition, the Court recognizes that it has "a duty to construe pro se pleadings liberally, including pro se motions as well as complaints."
Bernhardt v. Los Angeles County, 339 F.3d 920, 925 (9th Cir. 2003).
Section 301(b) of the LMRA provides:
(b) Responsibility for acts of agent; entity for purposes of suit; enforcement of money judgments. Any labor organization which represents employees in an industry affecting commerce as defined in this Act and any employer whose activities affect commerce as defined in this Act shall be bound by the acts of its agents. Any such labor organization may sue or be sued as an entity and in behalf of the employees whom it represents in the courts of the United States.
Any money judgment against a labor organization in a district court of the United States shall be enforceable only against the organization as an entity and against its assets, and shall not be enforceable against any individual member or his assets.
29 U.S.C. §185(b) (emphasis added). The Supreme Court has held that Section 301(b) of the LMRA "exempts agents and members from personal liability for judgments against the union (apparently even when the union is without assets to pay the judgment)." See Atkinson v. Sinclair Ref. Co., 370 U.S. 238, 248 (1962); see also Peterson v. Kennedy, 771 F.2d 1244, 1257-58 (9th Cir. 1985) ("It has long been recognized that union officers and employees are not individually liable to third parties for acts performed as representatives of the union in the collective bargaining process.")
Plaintiff's claims that his dues were improperly deducted and that the union officials did not help him with his employment are clearly claims that the Union breached its duty of fair representation, and are subject to removal under federal question jurisdiction. See Stallcop v. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, 820 F.2d 1044, 1047 (9th Cir. 1987) (claim that union breached duty of fair representation is based on federal labor law). Plaintiff, however, may not bring a damages claim against individual union officials under section 301 of the LMRA. See Carter v. Smith Food King, 765 F.2d 916, 920-21 (9th Cir. 1985) ("It is well settled that section 301 provides the basis for an action for breach of the duty of fair representation only against a union as an entity, and not against individuals who happen to hold positions in that union.").
Thus, Plaintiff's damages claim must be dismissed with prejudice as against the individual union defendants. In recognition of Plaintiff's pro se status and this case's origination in Small Claims Court, however, the Court grants Plaintiff leave to amend to attempt to state a valid claim against a proper Defendant.
For the reasons specified above, Defendants' motion to dismiss is GRANTED WITH PREJUDICE as to the four individual union officers named as Defendants in this case. Plaintiff is granted leave to amend to attempt to state a valid claim against a proper Defendant. Any amended complaint must respond to the deficiencies identified above, and must be filed and served no later than Friday, April 15, 2011. Failure to file a timely amended complaint risks dismissal of this entire action with prejudice.

Ana Luiza Sereia, Renata Longhini, Gisely Cristiny Lopes and João Carlos Palazzo de Mello
Version of Record online: 2 DEC 2016 | DOI: 10.1002/pca.2653
The tree Trichilia catigua shows several biological activities and has emerged as a potential source of new drugs. A methodology using CE-UV was developed and validated for analyzing ethyl-acetate fraction (EAF) of T. catigua. The method proved to be simple, sensitive, accurate, linear, precise and reproducible. When compared to the HPLC-PDA method previously developed, the CE method was more efficient, faster, less expensive and less polluting. This method could be employed for quality control of EAF of T. catigua.

Effect of Herbal Acupuncture with Sang-hwang(Phellinus linteus) on High Fat Diet-induced Obesity in Rats
Kim, Ji-Hyun ; Park, Chang-Shin ; Hahm, Dae-Hyun ; Lee, Hye-Jung ; Shim, In-Sop ;
Journal of Pharmacopuncture, volume 7, issue 1, 2004, Pages 5~14
Acupuncture has fairly good weight-reducing effect in treating simple obesity due to the neuroendocrine regulation. In this study, the antiobesity effects of herbal acupuncture(HA) with Sang-hwang(phellinus linteus) at Fuai(SP16) were investigated in the rat fed on high-fat(HF) diet. Sang-hwang mushroom has been proven to have anti-carcinogenic effects and Sang-hwang extracts are highly effective in treatment and preventive treatment of AIDS, diabetes and high blood-pressure. To determine whether the Sang-hwang herbal acupuncture may have the anti-obesity effect, male Sprague-Dawley(4-wk-old) rats were fed a HF diet for 5 wk, which produced significant weight gain compared to rats were fed a normal diet, and then herbal acupuncture were treated for 3 wk in HF diet group. The body weight, food consumption, food effeciency ratio(FER), body fat mass, plasma nitric oxide(NO) were investigated in rats fed on normal diet, HF diet, and HF diet with HA(HF-diet-HA) groups. NO has been proposed to be involved in the regulation of food intake. In addition, the expression of appetite peptides such as orexigenic peptide neuropeptide Y(NPY) and the anorectic peptide cholecystokinin(CCK) were observed in the hypothalamus. HF-HA group reduced body weight gain, FER, body fat contents and NO concentration compared to HF diet group. The expression of NPY was reduced in arcuate nucleus(ARC), and CCK was increased in the paraventricular nucleus(PVN) after treatment of HA. In conclusion, Sang-hwang HA reduced adipocity, plasma NO and hypothalamic NPY, but increased CCK expression in the HF dietinduced obesity rat, therefore HA may have anti-obesity action through regulating body weight and appetite peptide of the central nervous system.
A Clinical Study on the Effects of Intravenous Wild ginseng Herbal Acupuncture on the Human Body
Kwon, Ki-Rok ;
Journal of Pharmacopuncture, volume 7, issue 1, 2004, Pages 15~26
Background : This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of wild ginseng herbal acupuncture developed for the intravenous use. Healthy male and female volunteers(n=57) went through Randomized Control Trials(RCT). Methods : For those who are under a medication due to common cold or other illnesses were excluded in the primary stage and the subjects with possible abnormalities in the pre-screening process were also excluded in the secondary stage. Then the examination groups were determined by random sampling. Experiment groups were divided into Normal saline injection group(control group), cultivated wild ginseng herbal acupuncture group(experiment group 1) and natural wild ginseng herbal acupuncture group(experiment group 2) Blood tension, body temperature, pulse, and other criteria were measured and analyzed. Results : 1. Intravenous injection of cultivated wild ginseng herbal acupuncture and natural wild ginseng herbal acupuncture didn't cause significant changes in the blood tension, pulse, body temperature, and etc. 2. No significant differences were witnessed in CBC, ESR, biochemistry of blood test and UA between the experiment groups. 3. No significant changes were noted in the thermography before and after the test in the experiment groups. 4. Some of the common physical changes occurring during and after the administration were fatigue, chest distension, and headache in all of the experiment groups. 5. Comparing general condition after one week from the termination of administration, the control group showed worst condition while as the natural wild ginseng herbal acupuncture group displayed best condition. Conclusion : From the above results, we can carefully deduce that the intravenous injection of the wild ginseng herbal acupuncture didn't show significant differences compared to injection of the normal saline. We can infer it is safe on the human body and further studies and reports must be followed.

Objective : This study was aimed to validate the Herbal Acupuncture Therapies(HAT) for cancer patients. Patients and methods : This retrospective study was performed on 8 patients who were diagnosed as cancer in Korea and treated with HAT in the oriental hospital of Daejeon University, from January 2003 to January 2004. We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 8 patients for improvement of symptoms, toxic effects of liver and kidney, myelosupression and changes of Quality of Life(QOL). Results : Analysis of change of chief complaints showed that 75% patients replied moderate relief and 25% replied complete relief in Likert scale. Analysis of Liver Function Test(LFT), Renal Function Test(RFT) level showed that HAT does not have toxic effects on liver and kidney. Analysis of Complete Blood Count(CBC) level showed that HAT does not have myelosuppression effects on bone marrow. Analysis of QOL showed that 100% patients replied improvement in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group status(ECOG) status. Conclusion : Our findings suggest that HAT offer potential benefits for cancer patients.

Journal of Pharmacopuncture, volume 7, issue 1, 2004, Pages 37~51
Objective : Recently scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture has been a good effect on pain control but it has not been known about clinical safety. The purpose of this study was to investigate acute toxicity of scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture. Method : In order to prove the clinical safety of scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture, We have observed a bacteriological examination and clinical pathology test after scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture treatment. Balb/c mice were injected intravenous with Scolopendrid aquaacupuncture treatment for
and acute toxicity test. We analyzed physical reaction(side effect)and clinical pathology test before and after Scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture treatment of mice and 20 patients suffering from pain, who admitted department of Acupunture and Moxibustion, College of Oriental Medicine, Won-Kwang University Kwangju hospital. Results : In the Blood agar plate and Nutrient agar plate, a bacteriological examination did not show a bacillus. In acute
toxicity test, there was no mortality thus unable to attain the value. Examining the toxic response in the acute toxicity test, there was no sign of toxication. In acute toxic test, running biochemical serum test couldn't yield any differences between the control and experiment groups. In the 20 patients treated with Scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture, hematologic test did not show remarkable change. In the 20 patients treated with Scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture, Liver function test(AST, ALT, ALP) showed a slight decrease on the contrary, and abnormal rate showed a decrease of 5.0% compared with previous study. Reanl function test(BUN, Cr) and abnormal rate showed a decrease of 5.0% compared with previous study. In the 20 patients treated with Scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture, Electrolyte were normal range before and after treatment. In the Urine analysis of 20 patients, Leukocyte, Protein, Glucose, Keton, Bilirubin, U-bilinogen were not detected before and after Scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture treatment, and the rest almost made no difference.
Effect of Herbal-Acupuncture on Repeated Cocaine-induced Behavioral Sensitization in the Rat
Lee, B.B ; Yang, C.H. ; Hahm, D.H. ; Lee, H.J. ; Shim, I.S. ;
Journal of Pharmacopuncture, volume 7, issue 1, 2004, Pages 53~61
Substantial evidence suggests that behavioral and reinforcing effects of cocaine can be mediated by the mesolimbic dopaminergic system. It has been shown that repeated injections of cocaine produce increase in locomotor activity, expression of the immediate-early gene, c-fos in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), which was one of the main dopaminergic terminal areas. Herbal-acupuncture as a therapeutic intervention has been widely used for the treatment of many functional disorders such as drug abuse. Coptidis Rhizoma (CR) and its main component, berberine (BER) were selected as herbal medicine of herbal-acupuncture. Both medicines have been known to have the therapeutic effect on the central nervous system. In order to investigate the effects of CR and BER herbalacupuncture at shenmen (HT7) point (CR/H and BER/H) on the cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization, the influence of CR/H and BER/H on repeated cocaine-induced locomotor activity, the change of c-Fos expression in the brain by immunohistochemistry were examined. Male SD rats were given CR/H (0.4mg/kg) and BER/H (0.1mg/kg) 30 min before daily injections of cocaine hydrochloride (15mg/kg. i.p.) 10 days. After 3 days withdrawal, rats received a challenge injection of cocaine (15mg/kg, i.p.). Systemic challenge with cocaine produced much larger increased locomotor activity, accumbal Fos-like immunoreactivity in the NAc. Pretreatment with CR/H and BER/H significantly inhibited cocaine-induced locomotor activity, the change of c-Fos expression in the rats. Our data demonstrated that the inhibitory effects of cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization by CR/H and BER/H were closely associated with the reduction of presynaptic dopamine release in the NAc. These results suggest that CR/H and BER/H can be effectively applied to cocaine addiction.

Seo, Jung-Chul ; Yoon, Jong-Seok ; Han, Sang-Won ; Park, Hi-Joon ; Lee, Hye-Jung ;
Journal of Pharmacopuncture, volume 7, issue 1, 2004, Pages 63~69
Objective : This study was designed to find out whether NS(normal saline) is able to be constituted as an appropriate control group for CC(Cervi Cornu Parvum herbal acupuncture), CF(Carthami-Flos herbal acupuncture) and BV(bee venom herbal acupuncture). Method : NS and three herbal acupuncture were inserted into Quchi(LI 11) of the subjects. After 5 minutes the subjects completed a questionnaire rating the intensity of 21 kinds of acupuncture sensation; hurting, penetrating, sharp, aching, intense, spreading, radiating, tingling, pricking, stinging, pulling, heavy, dull, numb, electric, shocking, hot, burning, cool, pulsing, and throbbing. We compared subjective evaluations of acupuncture sensation between or among the groups. Results : As for CC half items of the acupuncture sensation were significantly different from NS. As for CF all items were not significantly different from NS. As for CC all items were significantly different from NS except one item. In general the score of CF acupuncture sensation was lower than the others and the score of BV acupuncture sensation was higher than the others from comparison of sensation among herbal acupunctures(CC, CF, BV). Conclusion : We found that NS is able to be an appropriate placebo herbal acupuncture for CF. Further study is needed for new placebo herbal acupuncture for CC and BV.
