ABSTRACT
Objectives:
This study was designed to investigate the effects of Yukmijiwhang-tang on contusion of the mice induced with medicine.

Methods :
I observed the effects of light and electron microscopes, and examined hematological changes and VEGFimmunohistochemistry.

Results:
Hematology: Leukocytes were increased significantly in a control group of mice compared with the experimental group. Light microscope : A few neurons were condensed in the 7-day experimental group, but condensed remarkedly in the 3- day control group. Most glial cells were observed in the 3-day experimental group. Edema and dilatation of vessels occurred significantly in the 3-day control group, and these results occurred weakly in the 7-day experimental group. VEGF-immunohistochemistry : VEGF-immunohistochemical reactivity for the glial cells was the highest in the 3-day experimental group, and immunoreactivity for the vessels and neurons highly increased in the 7-day experimental group. Electron microscope : In the 3-day control group, protoplasmic astrocytes concerned with angiogenesis contained weakly developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, and a few of glial filaments were observed. In the 7-day experimental group, the bundles of glial filaments were found in the cytoplasmic process of astrocytes.

Conclusion:
medication using Yukmijiwhang-tang of mice contused by medical stress is highly effective in inflamatory response, curing cell damage and angiogenesis.
Key words: Yukmijiwhang-tang, VEGF-immunohistochemistry, angiogenesis.
