  Synthetic resin containing nephritic jade powder and process for its preparation.



  Field of the invention
The present invention relates to a new synthetic resin containing a fine nephritic jade powder, and to a process for its preparation.



   More particularly, the present invention relates to a synthetic resin which exerts an excellent effect in our daily life, by treating pathological symptoms (headache, feeling of numbness, indigestion, insomnia or the like), by eliminating impurities (such as metals heavy), by improving the quality of the water, by promoting the growth of plants or the like, by incorporating nephritic jade powder having a microstructure made up of a very fine combination of fibers entwined with the cryptocrystalline tremolite type in the basic materials a synthetic resin, for example thermoplastic resins such as polyethylene (PE), poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer

   or thermosetting resins such as phenol resins, melamine urea or the like during their preparation; or by incorporating nephritic jade powder during the manufacturing process of utensils, leisure or sports equipment, as well as containers or packaging products during the manufacturing process.



  STATE OF THE ART
We know in general that jade is divided at first analysis into jadeite and nephrite.



   Jadeite belongs to the pyroxene family and has a monoclinic system comprising silicic acid, aluminum oxide and sodium hydroxide. It is a dense mass, and its hardness is comparable to that of crystal. It is transparent or translucent, black, blue-green or green in color. Usually jadeite is

  <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

 called "jade".



   Nephritis or nephritic jade is a mineral material presenting the monoclinic system of inosilicates. The quality of nephritic jade is determined by the fineness of the structure, and its quality is all the better as the fiber is fine (Journal of Mining Promotion, 1993, new year issue, the Korea Mining Promotion Corporation).



   According to a German medical bibliographic source [Mauda Palmer Die Verborgene, "KRAFF der KRISTALLE und der EDELSTEINE"], the two different minerals, jadeite and nephritic jade, both contain silicon and oxygen like most other precious stones.



  However, jadeite is formed of granular crystals, while nephritic jade is made up of a large number of crystals and aggregates of microparticles of fibrous structure similar to hair. In particular, nephritic jade has three elements, Ca, Fe and Mg, which are good for the human body, while jadeite is a component of sodium and aluminum. It has recently been reported that when nephritic jade is attached to the body, it exerts a considerable effect in the treatment of hypertension, diabetes, diseases of the circulatory system, heart disease, and kidney disease.



   A classic of traditional oriental medicine, "Treasures in oriental medicine" indicates that, if jade is added to black rice liqueur, it transforms the liquor into water, and that the ingestion of jade powder from the size of sesame seeds promotes intestinal transit. He also describes that if we cook jade powder (1 part by volume), rice (1 part by volume) and white dew (3 parts by volume) in a copper container, the powder jade becomes water (which is called jade liquid, "divine jade water").



   "Plants of Divine Agriculture", "Plants of Tang Age" and "List of Basic Plants" describe that ingestion of powder

  <Desc / Clms Page number 3>

 jade the size of sesame seeds enriches five viscera and six entrails and completely removes waste. In addition, it acts on the digestive system by removing heat from the stomach, and it is good for the treatment of bronchial asthma, body fevers and feelings of heaviness in the chest, as well as thirst. When taking jade powder for a long time, the body becomes lighter and loosens, the function of the lungs improves, which facilitates vocal expression by the vocal cords.

   It is also good for the throat, hair nutrition, the functioning of the five viscera and six bowels, and the treatment of nerve diseases such as stress. In addition, the components of nephritic jade are excellent for body functions without any side effects. For example, ingestion of white jade powder is good for tension or muscle cramps, and a multi-day massage of an injury to the skin with nephritic jade removes the scar. As described above, it has been known since antiquity that the main components of nephritic jade have an excellent effect on the human body, with no significant negative effect ["Treasures in oriental medicine" and "List of Basic Plants "].



   However, since nephritic jade does not exist in large quantities in nature, its use is limited to personal jewelry ornaments such as necklaces, rings, bracelets or the like, despite its excellent known medical effects. In addition, the treatment of nephritic jade requires the delicate care of highly experienced experts, and nephritic jade is economically disadvantageous because of its very high price, so that there is a high demand for the development of practical products of general use using nephritic jade.



  Summary of the invention
The present inventors have focused on

  <Desc / Clms Page number 4>

 excellent medical effects of nephritic jade, and have studied them extensively for many years; as a result, they discovered that the molded articles, which were molded by a conventional method but by mixing nephritic jade powder of al80 cryptocrystalline tremolite with synthetic resin raw materials during the preparation of the raw materials or the operation for manufacturing the synthetic resin product, exerting actions to remove heavy metals, eliminate bad odors, promote plant growth, improve water quality and strengthen the physical properties of product itself, to realize the invention.

   



   Thus, the object of the present invention is to provide a new synthetic resin having excellent medical and physical effects due to the intrinsic properties of nephritic jade (powder), when applied to household products such as tableware , products for sport or leisure, agricultural products such as gardening equipment, fishing products such as fish tanks, products for vehicles such as components for automobile, products for transport, films packaging of food, medical products such as spectacle parts, electronic instruments such as electrical or electronic parts.



   Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for preparing a synthetic resin having excellent effects, by adding fine nephritic jade powder during the preparation of the base materials of the synthetic resin or during the manufacture of the product. in resin, by stirring or kneading.



   Yet another object of the present invention is to maximize the use of nephritic jade powder which constitutes a residue or waste from the extraction or fine processing of nephritic jade ornaments.

In the nephritic jade powder used in the present invention, the particle size can be chosen according to the material of the synthetic resin and the use of the molded object. In general, a nephritic jade powder, the particles of which have a size of 100 to 350 mesh, is suitably used. If the size of the molded article is complicated, or if for example an increased ductility is required in the case where the article is thin, preferably finer particles (about 250-350 mesh) are used and the a powder of 100-500 mesh can be added to prepare a molded article

  <Desc / Clms Page number 14>

 general type.

   If the particle size is larger than this range, this has a disadvantage because the roughness of the surface of the article increases while, if the particle size is smaller than this range, spraying poses difficulties.



   The amount of nephritic jade added to the raw materials (resin) is preferably 5 to 15%. If the amount is less than 5%, we cannot expect the effect of nephritic jade. The greater the quantity, the better the effect of nephritic jade. However, if the amount is beyond this range, the properties of the base resin (and in particular the ductility) degrade, making the article brittle, lowering the flowability for molding, and increases the cost of the product because of the high price of nephritic jade.



  Thus, the amount of 15% by weight or less is suitable.



   The nephritic jade powder used in the present invention can come from the nephritic jade stone which remains after making personal ornaments, vases or sculptures, so as to lower the production costs to improve its economy. Using the resin, one can obtain a variety of products of practical use which have the intrinsic properties of nephritic jade, at a cost much lower than that of products produced in nephritic jade alone (for example, a jade cut).



   The nephritic jade powder used in the present invention is crypto-crystalline tremolite of alsO, the composition of which is given in Table 1 below, but the present invention is not limited to this composition.

 Description of the preferred embodiment
The preparation of synthetic resin products containing nephritic jade powder according to the present invention, and the effects manifested by the products will be described in more detail with reference to the examples and the experimental examples below.



  Example 1
Nephritic jade powder (10 parts by weight) sprayed to a size of 150 mesh, is mixed with 90 parts by weight of polyethylene, a kind of thermoplastic resin. The mixture is injected into an injection mold via a hopper, and heated to 100-130 C to press it into the mold with increased ductility.



   Molded articles of various types (a variety of receptacles such as tableware, an interior finisher for a refrigerator, personal ornaments such as necklaces, bracelets or rings, and other ornaments) are obtained after cooling the mold.



  Example 2
Nephritic jade powder (10 parts by weight) sprayed to a particle size of 150 mesh is

  <Desc / Clms Page number 16>

 mixed with 90 parts by weight of polyethylene. The mixture is injected into an injection mold and heated to 35-45 C to compress it in the mold with increased ductility using a jack.



   We obtain molded articles of various types (dishes, tea cups, ornaments, necklaces, bracelets, rings or earrings).



  Example 3
Nephritic jade powder (10 parts by weight) pulverized to a particle size of 300 mesh is mixed with 90 parts by weight of polyethylene. The mixture is injected into an injection mold, and heated to 35-45 C to compress it in the mold with increased ductility using a jack.



   Molded articles of various types are obtained such as dishes, tea cups, ornaments, necklaces, bracelets, rings or earrings.



   The synthetic resin products prepared as described above have high heat resistance and impact resistance. In addition, when they are used as dishes, they can keep food fresher longer thanks to the far infrared radiation produced by nephritic jade. In addition, if the ornaments according to the present invention are maintained on the human body, certain therapeutic effects appear in the body. In particular, if one uses as material for interior finishing panel of a refrigerator, there is a marked effect of saving electricity. (See experimental examples below).

1.

   The weight of the larvae of the jade group is greater than that of the control group at each stage of development. In particular, in the case of mature larvae, the weight of the group treated with jade is greater than 0.48 g per larva than that of the control group.



   2. The percentage of pupation in the jade group is 71.2%, 15% less than that in the control group.



  The quantity of silk produced per 10,000 silkworms of the jade-treated group is 15.4%, which is 7% lower than that of the control group.



   3. The individual weight of the cocoons in the jade group is 2.14 g, which is approximately 6% higher than that of the control group. In addition, the weight of the cocoon shell of the jade-treated group is 44.5 cg, which is approximately 9% higher than that of the control group. The percentage of shell in the cocoon of the jade-treated group is 2% higher than that of the control group when expressed as a clue.



   4. The winding performance of the jade group is generally better than that of the control group. In particular, the jade-treated group is excellent in this

  <Desc / Clms Page number 25>

 which concerns the length of the cocoon filaments, the weight of the cocoon filaments and the windability (9% greater than that of the control group).



   5. From the point of view of the quality of the silk thread, the silk thread of the jade group turns out to be slightly superior to that of the control group as regards thickness, resistance, elongation and rate raw silk. However, the production of silk for 10,000 silkworms is lower than that of the control group.



   6. No essential difference is observed between the surface structure of the control group and that of the jade group.



   7. The reducing effects of the glucose content in the blood of the jade-treated group is 70.3%, that is to say 24% greater than that of the control group if expressed in terms of index.



   8. The crystal structure of the nephritic jade used in the experiment is a bar structure with a pointed end.



  Experimental example 6
This experiment was carried out to study the effect of containers (bowls) made of synthetic resin containing nephritic jade according to the present invention (example 1 to 3) on the freshness of pork, when meat is preserved pork in the bowl. The experiment is carried out by Korea Food Research Institute.

   Details are given below:
Pork is kept either in a synthetic resin bowl containing jade or in a simple bowl (control) for 0.4, 7.14 or 21 days, at OOC or 4 C. One hundred grams (100 g) of pork cut in the ham is kept in each container, and the losses by drainage are measured, the color of the meat, the pH, the volatile basic nitrogen (VBN for "Volatile Basic Nitrogen": denaturation of proteins) and the oxidation of lipids (TBA).

Figure 3A shows the effect of the jade container on the dripping losses (%) when pork is stored at 0 C or 4 C for 21 days.



   Figure 3B shows the effect of a jade container on the pH of meat when storing meat.

  <Desc / Clms Page number 27>

 pork at OOC or 40C for 21 days.



   Figure 3C shows the effect of the jade container on the VBN content when pork is kept at 0C or 40C for 21 days.



   Figure 3D shows the effect of the jade container on the TBA value when storing pork at OOC or 40C for 21 days.



   FIG. 3E shows the effect of a jade container on the color of the meat when pork is kept at 0 ° C. or 40 ° C. for 21 days.



   As can be seen from the results, the dripping losses are much less for pork stored in a jade bowl, and tend to decrease considerably over time, whatever the storage temperature. . As an important indicator of post mortem modification of muscles, the pH normally drops immediately after slaughter and then remains at 6, 5-6, 8. In the present experiment, the type of container does not seem to directly affect the modification of pH (although at 40C the pH is higher than at OOC) and the VBN value (which indicates the degree of protein denaturation) of pork.

   However, the value of TBA (which indicates the degree of lipid oxidation) remains lower in pork stored in a jade bowl, regardless of the storage temperature. The color of the meat is measured by a differential color measurement device, and is due to the absorption and reflection of the pigments coloring the meat. The AE value is lower in the control (group of simple bowls) than that of the group of jade bowls at 0 C, and no clear trend is observed in pork preserved at 4 C, although the value of AE at OOC is lower than that at 4 C. This could result from a greater formation of metamyoglobin due to a greater dehydration caused by the higher temperature.



   From experience we see that, if containers

  <Desc / Clms Page number 28>

 made of jade or packaging materials (such as polyvinyl film) coated with jade powder are used to preserve food, we can maintain the sanitary condition and the quality in the distribution of degradable food, and thus increase the shelf life and improve safety.

 Experimental example 9
The experiment consists in examining the effects of a jade cup prepared from examples 1 to 3 according to the present invention, which could modify the taste characteristics of a drink (commercial instant coffee) when the drink is served in a jade container. The experiment is carried out by the Department of Food & Nutrition of the University of Chung-Ang and the Korea Food Research Institute.

   The details are described below:
1> Object of the experiment
Check the changes in taste, aroma, aftertaste and / or color of the coffee, when it is served in a jade cup or in an ordinary cup (control).



   2> Test method: Pair Preference Test to test the preference of one sample over the other - characteristics tested: taste, aroma, aftertaste, color
3> Test groups - 20 - 25 graduate students in food and nutrition at Chung-Ang University in Korea (with experience in test groups and

  <Desc / Clms Page number 30>

 having knowledge of the test method)
4> Duration of the test from March to June 1996 once a week
10 times in total
5> test container and type of drink
Jade cup and regular cup: both have the same appearance
Drink: instant coffee (Taster's Choice)
6> Preparation of samples
1 teaspoon of coffee is mixed with 1/2 cup of water at 100 C.



   7> Statistics: T test (psO, 05) Results
1. Taste: The coffee contained in the jade cup gives a much less bitter taste (psO, 05).



   2. Color and aftertaste: The jade cup tends to give a more beautiful color and a better aftertaste, but without this being statistically significant.



   3. Aroma: The ordinary goblet gives a coffee with a better aroma than the jade goblet, without this being statistically significant.



   * Table 14 below shows the effect of the jade cup on the sensory qualities of coffee.

Claims (5)

Conclusion The jade cup seems to give the coffee a milder (statistically significant) taste. The aftertaste and color of the coffee in the jade cup is similar or better than that in ordinary cups (statistically insignificant). The flavor of the coffee in the regular cup is better than that in the jade cup (statistically insignificant). Experimental example 10 The experiment consists in studying the effect of a synthetic resin plate containing jade and supernatant jade water after precipitation of jade powder on the reproduction and growth of rats when the jade plates are placed on the cage and when giving jade water rather than tap water. The test was carried out by the Korea Food Research Institute. The details are described below.  Thirty male and female Sprague Dawley rats (9 weeks old) each received treatment. The rats of group A are housed in cages provided with jade plates, and are supplied with tap water. The rats of group B receive water with jade supernatant after precipitation of jade powder (2 mg / ml of tap water), but a jade plate is not placed on the cage. The rats of group C form a control group (no jade plate and no jade water). The rats are left together for nine days, the male rats are then separated and sacrificed for sperm concentration and mobility tests.  The results are presented in Table 15 below.  <Desc / Clms Page number 32>  Table 15: Effects of jade products on the reproduction and growth of rats  EMI32.1   <tb> <tb> Group <SEP> C <tb> Parturition <SEP> (Number <SEP> of <SEP> rats) <SEP> 9 <SEP> 9 <SEP> 8 <tb> Taitte <SEP> of <SEP> Litter <SEP> (# / #) <SEP> 96 <SEP> (57/39) <SEP> 94 <SEP> (57/37) <SEP> 102 <SEP > (54/48) <tb> Size <SEP> of <SEP> litter <SEP> (head / 9 <SEP> rat) <SEP> 11, <SEP> 811, <SEP> 9 <SEP> 10, <SEP> 9¯1, <SEP> 4 <SEP> 12, <SEP> 6t2, <SEP> 1 <tb> Body weight <SEP> <SEP> at <SEP> <SEP> birth <SEP> (g) <SEP> 4, <SEP> 73¯1, <SEP> 10 <SEP> 5, <SEP> ¯79¯0, <SEP> 95 <SEP> 5.35¯0, <SEP> 35 <tb> Mortality <SEP> (Number <SEP> of <SEP> head) <SEP> 443 <tb> Days <SEP> between <SEP> sailLie <SEP> and <SEP> parturition <SEP> 23, <SEP> 8¯1, <SEP> 4 <SEP> (n = 10) <SEP> 25,  <SEP> 1¯1, <SEP> 7 <SEP> (n = 9) <SEP> 25, <SEP> 5t3, <SEP> 7 <SEP> (n = 8) <tb> Body weight <SEP> at <SEP> at <SEP> weaning <SEP> (g) <SEP> 43, <SEP> 45¯8, <SEP> 04 <SEP> 42, <SEP> 73i8, <SEP > 76 <SEP> 42, <SEP> 07i10, <SEP> 71 <tb> Body weight <SEP> <SEP> to <SEP> Slaughter <SEP> (9) <SEP> 294, <SEP> 0i10, <SEP> 9 <SEP> 274, <SEP> 4t8, <SEP > 6 <SEP> 288, <SEP> 4i26, <SEP> 7 <tb> Weight <SEP> testicute <SEP> (g) <SEP> 3.90¯0.21 <SEP> 3.57¯0.30 <SEP> 3.99¯0.15 <tb> <SEP> concentration of <SEP> sperm <SEP> (105 / ml) <SEP> 6.32¯2.4 <SEP> 4.80¯1.3 <SEP> 4.60¯1.9 <tb> Motility <SEP> of <SEP> sperm <SEP> (X) <SEP> 91, <SEP> 0¯4, <SEP> 2 <SEP> 92, <SEP> 0¯2, <SEP> 7 <SEP> 88, <SEP> out7, <SEP> 6 <tb>   The results show that the treatments with jade plate (group A) and with jade water (group B) have better parturition results.  Parturition rates in groups A and B (90% respectively) are higher than those in group C (80%). The number of male newborns is higher in groups A and B (3 more newborns respectively), although rats in group C give birth to several more newborns (6-8). Also, the duration between mating and parturition is shorter for rats of group A than for those of the other two groups.  In addition to these findings, the sperm concentration and mobility of rats in both groups A and B are greater than those in group C. However, the effects of simultaneous treatment with jade plate and jade water have not been studied in this study.  In conclusion, the results suggest that jade plates and jade water seem to have an effect on the reproduction and growth of rats: the treated groups  <Desc / Clms Page number 33>  jade plates or jade water have better reproductive and growth indices. It would be very interesting to study these effects further for future application. These findings could be used as basic data for improving reproductive efficiency and enhancing the concentration and mobility rate of sperm. Experimental example 11 The experiment consists in studying the positive effect of different jade products on the symptoms of diabetes mellitus when applying different jade products to rats to which diabetes mellitus was induced by streptozotocin. It is carried out by the Korea Food Research Institute. The details are described below. (See Figures 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E and 4F).  Thirty-two (32) Sprague Dawley rats weighing 252-292 g receive per streptozotocin injection peritoneal [35-40 mg (per kg bodyweight) dissolved in 0.1 M citrate buffer pH 4.0] induce diabetes. Seven days after administration of streptozotocin, rats with a blood glucose level above 25 mg / dl are selected on the basis of a urine test (Uropaper from Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd., Japan) . Over 50 days of the duration of the experiment, four groups are used, each comprising 5 rats. In rats of group A, 1.0 ml of distilled jade water (pH 6.4) is injected peritoneal daily. The rats of group B are housed throughout the experiment in cages at the bottom of which are placed jade plates. The rats of group C are given a daily drink of supernatant jade water after precipitation of jade powder. Group D rats serve as a control and receive no treatment. Diets consist of commercial rat food, and rats are treated according to general practices. Rats are sacrificed on day 50, and blood is collected from the abdominal aorta.  Plasma is prepared by centrifuging blood containing heparin at  <Desc / Clms Page number 34>  5000 rpm for 15 min, after allowing the blood to stand at room temperature for 30 min. Extracted organs (liver, kidneys) are weighed and the data recorded. The measurements made on blood plasma are HBA (plasma ss-hydroxybutyrate), FFA (free fatty acids), cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. The HBA content is analyzed qualitatively by measuring the increase in absorbance at 340 nm (OD) of the NADH produced by oxidation by the dehydrogenase of ss-hydroxybutyrate. Blood lipids are measured using a clinical kit (Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd., Japan).

In general, the weight of the kidneys increases in patients with DM ("diabetes mellitus" or diabetes mellitus) and this tendency is also observed in this experiment. With the exception of the controls, the weight of the kidneys in group C is the lowest among all the treatments, outside the control group. Liver weights also increase following induction of diabetes, but liver weights are lowest in rats fed jade water.  The concentrations of blood glucose, ketone in the body and FFA increase in the order of groups A, B, C and D. The cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in blood plasma follow the same trend (A> B > C> D) as the parameters mentioned below. From the results, the rats having received jade water (group C) present for all  <Desc / Clms Page number 36>  parameters measured comparatively lower values than those of the other two experimental groups, and the cholesterol and FFA concentrations in the blood are lower in the rats of group C than in the controls who received no treatment with jade.  The concentrations of TC (blood cholesterol) and TG (neutral lipid) are in the order A> B> C> D. The result of the glycemic index during a reaction to blood sugar after a meal differs according to the researchers. However, during the experiment, although a commercial compound food (TMR) was given without taking into account the glycemic index of the cereals, the rats of group C having received jade water show a mitigating effect of hyperlipidemia, one of the symptoms of diabetes. There was no difference in the concentration of HDL cholesterol between the test groups.  The administration of jade water to rats suffering from streptozotocin-induced diabetes manifests effects of prevention of reduction of body weight, prevention of growth of the kidneys or liver, as well as attenuation of hyperlipidemia, one of the symptoms of diabetes. Experimental example 12 The study is being done to investigate the effects of nephritic jade on the lowering of blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats when jade litter is placed in their cages rather than normal straw. The experiment is carried out by the Korea Food Research Institute.  The details are described below.  Twelve 8-week-old male SHR rats are divided into a group A (jade litter), consisting of 6 animals, or B (control) of 6 animals. Group A receives jade litter products placed at the bottom of the cage, while group B receives common straw. The rats are given a commercial extruded feed formula (Samyang Oil & Fats Co.), and the general recommendations of the  <Desc / Clms Page number 37>  control of sunlight and reproduction. The experiment continues for 5 weeks, including the 1 week period of adaptation to the support for measuring blood pressure. Body weight and blood pressure are measured weekly.  After placing the animal in the support, and stabilizing the animal in the incubator at a temperature of 291 C for about 10 minutes, the blood pressure is measured indirectly by a method of recording pulsations from the tail to the using a noninvasive blood pressure analyzer (IITC Inc., Woodland Hills, California). The general standard for assessing blood pressure is used in clinical trials.  The body weight of SHR rats increased during the experiment, as can be seen in fig. 5A, but is not statistically significant between rats of group A (1.43 t 1.04 g) and B (1.50 t 0.27 g). It is generally known that the growth rate of spontaneously hypertensive SHR rats is lower than that of normal SHR rats.  The weekly variation in systolic blood pressure (mmHg) of SHR rats treated with jade products for 4 weeks is presented in Table 18 below.  <Desc / Clms Page number 38>  Table 18  EMI38.1   <tb> <tb> Week <SEP> Treatment <tb> A <SEP> (Jade <SEP> nephritic) <SEP> B <SEP> (Witness) <tb> 0 <SEP> 202, <SEP> 6 <SEP> 9, <SEP> 19 <SEP> 199.8 <SEP> 11, <SEP> 68 <tb> 1 <SEP> 193.1 <SEP> 7, <SEP> 72 <SEP> 205.9 <SEP> 8, <SEP> 50 <tb> 2 <SEP> 191.7 <SEP> 6, <SEP> 97 <SEP> 213, <SEP> 0 <SEP>: <SEP> t <SEP> 11, <SEP> 75 <tb> 3 <SEP> 187, <SEP> 3 <SEP> 8, <SEP> 65 <SEP> 212.7 <SEP>: <SEP> t <SEP> 16, <SEP> 69 <tb> 4 <SEP> 187, <SEP> 1 <SEP> 8, <SEP> 89 <SEP> 208.5 <SEP>:  <SEP> t <SEP> 17, <SEP> 61 <tb> Hypotensive <SEP> effect <SEP> (week) <tb> 0-2-10, <SEP> 5 <SEP> 3, <SEP> 21 <SEP> + <SEP> 13.4 <SEP> ¯ <SEP> 3, <SEP> 75 <tb> 2-4-4, <SEP> 6 <SEP> 5, <SEP> 36-4, <SEP> 5 <SEP> ¯ <SEP> 5, <SEP> 45 <tb>   After a week of experience, the systolic blood pressure of the jade-treated rats (group A) tends to drop by about 10 mmHg from 202.6 mmHg to the normalized point, as shown in Table 18 and Figure SB. From the third week, the systolic blood pressure is maintained almost permanently near 187 mmHg. Throughout the study, in group A rats, blood pressure drops a total of about 16 mmHg (more than 10 mmHg, the standard for assessing blood pressure changes in clinical trials), so that the change is believed to be significant. On the other hand, the rats of group B have an increased systolic blood pressure at 213 mmHg, starting from 200 mmHg from the reference point during the first half of the study; it then drops slightly during the second half of the study, showing a fairly stable trend at around 209 mmHg in week 4.  As shown in Figure 5C, rats in group A showed a considerable drop in systolic blood pressure (-10.5 mmHg) throughout the experiment, and those in group B a significant increase (+13.4  <Desc / Clms Page number 39>  mmHg) during the first half of the study period. In addition, the systolic blood pressure (-4.6, -4.5 mmHg) of the rats of the two groups showed a decreasing trend during the second half of the period.
