The essential oil of Acorus gramineus(Aracease), which has been used as an antioconvulsant in Korean folk medicine, was evaluated for its effects on antioxidative system in vitro and in vivo. This mixture of terpenes showed inhibitory effects on xanthine oxidase activity with 13.3% at 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml and on aldehyde oxidase activity with 5.0% at 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. Lipid perosidation was inhibited by 49.4% at 1.0 mg/ml of the essential oil in vitro and by 16.7% after 7 days inhablation of an oil as compared to PTZ-treated control group. DPPH radical scavenging activity of this essential oil was ralatively werak.

Induction of phase II enzymes such as quinone reductase (QR) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) is considered a major mechanism of protection against initiation of carcinogenesis. The present study was performed to evaluate the chemopreventive activity of Acori Graminei Rhizoma aqua-acupuncture solution (AGRAS) and Acori Graminei Rhizoma water-extracted solution (AGRWS) by measuring the induction of phase II enzymes. AGRAS and AGRWS are potent inducers of quinone reductase activity in murine hepatoma Hepa1c1c7 cells. The levels of GSH and GST was increased sightly with AGRAS and AGRWS. These results suggest that AGRAS and AGRWS may act as blocking agents against carcinogenesis by induction of phase II enzymes.

This study was carried out to search for the anti-inflammatory activities of ethanol extracts obtained from 5 kinds of oriental medical plant; Pleuropterus multiflorus extract (PME), Acorus calamus L. extract (ACE), Lithospermum erythrorhizon Siebold & Zucc. extract (LEE), Xanthium strumarium L. extract (XSE), Lonicera japonica extract (LJE), which have traditionally been used as a drug in oriental medical plants in Korea. XSE showed cytotoxicity at 100, $200{\mu}g/ml$ concentration in RAW264.7 cells (p<0.05) and ACE showed cytotoxicity at $200{\mu}g/ml$ concentration in RAW264.7 cells (p<0.05). But other oriental medical plants did not showed cytotoxicity was observed in RAW264.7 cells below $200{\mu}g/ml$ concentration. These extracts at non-toxic concentrations showed anti-inflammatory effects. PME, ACE, XSE and LJE showed a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on NO production and $PGE_2$ production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. In particular, XSE showed the highest NO production inhibition ($52.9{\mu}g/ml$, $IC_{50}$) as well as the highest $PGE_2$ production inhibition at $50{\mu}g/ml$ (73.6%). ACE and LEE showed cell proliferation effects on HaCaT keratinocyte cells. Especially, LEE showed 21.1, 53.5 and 99.6% proliferative activity by incubation for 1, 3, 5days at $100{\mu}g/ml$ concentration. ACE also showed 11.2, 26.0% proliferative activity for 1day and 3days at $10{\mu}g/ml$ concentration. As a result of this study, ethanol extracts obtained from 5 kinds of oriental medical plant showed anti-inflammatory activity and HaCaT cell regeneration effect.

The aquatic plants were cultivated in pots containing pig waste water, adjusted to three levels of $NH_4-N$ concentration 50, 100 and 200ppm. The aquatic plants were Eichhornia crassipes solms-laub, Monochoria korsakowii Regel et maack, Zizania caduciflora, Typha orientalis, Acorus asiaticus, Cyperus exaltaus, Colocasia antiquorum var. Yield, content and amount of nitrogen and phosphorus absorped by plants, and growth status were investigated. The results obtained are as follows. 1. The content and removal amount of nitrogen and phosphrus by plants were the highest in Eichhornia crassipes solms-laub. 2. Yield of dry matter in plants in 100ppm $NH_4-N$ was in the order of Eichhornia crassipes solms-laub>Zizania caduciflora>Typha orientalis>Monochoria korsakowii Regel et maack>Acorus asiaticus. 3. The removal amount of nitrogen by plants in the 100ppm $NH_4-N$ was in the order of Eichhornia crassipes solms-laub>Zizania caduciflora>Monochoria korsakowii Regel et maack>Typha orientalis>Acorus asiaticus>Colocasia antiquorum var>Cyperus exaltatus. Removal amount of phosphorus was in the order of Eichhornia cras sipes solms-laub>Monochoria korsakowii Regel et maack>Zizania caducilora>Typha orientalis>Acorus asiaticus> Cyperus exaltatus>Colocasia antiquorum var. 4. Concentration causing growth damage was 200ppm of $NH_4-N$ in Eichhornia crassipes solms-laub, Zizania caduciflora and Typha orientalis and 100ppm in Monochoria korsakowii Regel et maack and Acorus asiaticus. 5. Nitrogen content was the highest in leaf and phosphorus content was the highest in float of the water hyacinth. 6. The number of panicles of the water hyacinth increased by 752 pieces and dry matters were about 5,000kg/l0a during one year.

1. Purpose and Method : We have many difficulty of using the existing medical Hurbs based on the theory of Em-Yang and the five elements, this is why we still do not explain the Sasang Constitutional medical Hurb Classification and do not have the Sasang Constitutional Pharmacology exactly, so we easily enter into a dispute and confusion. So through literary consideration about Acorus gramineus Soland. I try to objectify Sasang Constitutional Classification of Acorus gramineus Soland and the spirit of using Acorus gramineus Soland and common property of Sasang Constitutional Medical Hurb and try to find out a clue that search the effect of other Sasang Constitutional Medical Hurb. 2. Result : Qi(氣) and mi(味) of Acorus gramineus Soland have aroma and hot taste and have won Qi(溫氣), the using portion of Acorus gramineus Soland is root as medical Hurb. So Acorus gramineus Soland rise from Goonghacho(中下焦) to Sangcho(上焦) and divied impurity and purity and able to remove the turbidity Qi(氣)Ack(液) Acorus gramineus Soland have the effect of progressing the involution of Paeqi(肺氣) and divided impurity and purity of Qi(氣) and ack(液) and improve the fuction and structure of Tae-Em-ln. I think that the method of literay consideration on objectification of Sasang Constitution Pharmacology is of great value.
