본 연구에서는 숙취제거 및 간기능 개선에 전통적으로 사용되어온 한약재로 구성된 조성물 JBU의 효능을 동물실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 숙취제거 효능을 확인하기 위하여 알코올과 그 대사산물인 아세트알데히드의 혈중 농도를 측정한 결과, 혈중 알코을 농도에서 JBU 추출물 처리군은 대조군에 비해 유의적인 감소를 보였고, 특히 숙취의 원인물질로 지목되는 아세트알데히드 감소에 있어서도 유의적인 효과를 보였다. 간기능개선 효능의 확인을 위하여서는 사염화탄소 유발 간손상 동물모델에서 GPT와 GOT의 활성도를 측정하여 간손상 정도를 확인하였고, 조직병리학적 관찰을 통하여 간의 병적 변화를 관찰하였다. 사염화탄소는 확연하게 간손상을 유발시켰고, JBU 추출물은 GPT 및 GOT의 증가를 유의적으로 억제하였으며 조직학적으로도 간조직의 손상을 뚜렷하게 억제하였다.

전신마취를 필요로 하는 무증상 HBsAg양성 간효소치가 증가된 환자 11명을 대상으로 enflurane으로 마취한후 술전, 술후 3일, 7일 및 10일에 간기능검사를 실시하여 그 변화를 비교 검사한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) SGOT, SGPT SGOT, SGPT는 술후 3일에는 술전수치보다 약간 증가하였으나 7일, 10일에는 현저한 증가를 보였다. 8예에 있어서는 술후 3일에 술전치 보다 약간 증가한 양상을 보였고 7일, 10일에 술전치와 비슷하게 되었으나 3예에서는 3일에 SGOT, SGPT가 약간 증가하더니 7일, 10일에는 SGOT, SGPT가 300-500IU로 상당히 증가하여 간염치료를 하여 술후 2개월후에 술전치와 비슷하게 하강하였다. 2) Alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, and direct bilirubin은 술후 3일에 정상범위를 벗어난 변화를 보였으며 7일부터 정상범위내로 회복되었다. 이상의 결과를 보아 enflurane마취가 간기능에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는다고는 하나 HBaAg양성 간효소치가 증가한 환자에게는 마취시 간염으로 이행될 가능성이 높으므로 상당히 조심을 하여 마취를 시행하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report the safety of diarrhea-inducing treatment (Xie-xia Fa, 瀉下法) by Euphorbia kansui Radix, especially in the respect of clinical features, liver and kidney functions. Methods: Patients who were treated with Euphorbia kansui Radix powder between September 2013 and September 2014 were assessed retrospectively. Results: Less than 6 grams dosage of Euphorbia kansui Radix can induce several mild intestinal reactions but have no harmful effects on liver and kidney functions. Conclusions: Through this study, diarrhea-inducing treatment by less than 6 grams of Euphorbia kansui Radix can considered safe enough to be used in local clinics, but a cautious approach is needed.

다양한 연구에 따르면, 고려인삼은 허약한 체질, 숙취, 폐경과 월경불순, 초기 당뇨병, 영양실조, 빈혈 및 단백질 부족, 간기능 악화, 각종 독성물질에 기인한 중독, 피로, 추위, 스트레스, 산후조리, 체력쇠퇴 등에 효능이 있음이 알려져 있다. 특히 고려인삼은 혈관 기능을 효과적으로 조절함으로 고혈압, 뇌졸중, 심근경색, 동맥경화, 관절염, 당뇨, 비만 등의 질환을 효과적으로 치료하거나 예방할 수 있는 효능이 있음이 최근 연구에 의하여 밝혀지고 있다. 그러나 고려인삼 약리효능의 표적분자(target molecule)나 생화학적 작용기전(biochemical mechanism)이 세포 및 분자 수준에서 규명되지 못하여 고려인삼이 의약품으로 인정받지 못하고 건강식품으로 분류되고 있어 소비가 한인 흑인 히스패닉 시장에 한정되고 있고, 최근에는 타 경쟁국 인삼에 비해 수출 경쟁력이 약화되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 고려인삼 추출물과 효능성분이 혈관내피세포 기능조절에 미치는 효능 및 작용기전을 규명하여 고려인삼이 호발성 혈관질환에 대한 예방 및 치료 효능이 있음을 분자 및 유전자 수준에서 확인하고자 하였다.

Effects of Hwangryeun(Copitidis rhizoma) extract on recovery of liver function were researched in $CCl_4$ intoxicated rats. Concentration ${\alpha}$-fetoprotein, total protein in plasma showed a tendency to decrease in Hwangryeun(Copitidis rhizoma) extract applied groups while that of albumin showed a increase. Activities of plasma aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in Hwangryeun(Copitidis rhizoma) extract applied groups showed a lower value than those of controlled groups. Alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase and ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transpeptidase activities showed a tendency to decrease in Hwangryeun(Copitidis rhizoma) extract applied groups. Concentration of plasma triglyceride and total cholesterol showed a lower values than that of control group.

Meliae toosendan Fructus, the seed of Pagoda tree, Melia toosendan Sieb. et Zucc. (Meliaceae), has been used as a liver protective herbal drug in the Orient. Administration of seed oil to hyperlipedemic rats revealed the lipid lowering effects in serum and liver tissue without any toxicity in body weight increase and liver function.

A triterpenoid(melianone) and a limonoid(28-deacetyl sendanin) were isolated from the chloroform fraction of Meliae toosendan Fructus, the rippen fruits of Melia toosendan SIEB. et ZUCC.(Meliaceae) and were applied to serial experiments to clarify the liver protective activities. We found that the compounds promoted slightly the drug metabolizing enzyme activities and decreased serum transaminase activities which was elevated by carbon tetrachloride intoxication. And also they slightly increased the secretion of bile juice in rat.

Mugwort has been used as a Korean folk medicine in treating liver diseases acting as an analgesics, sedative, diuresis, choleretics. This study was perfomed to evaluate the effect of mugwort extracts on the changes of enzyme activities, lipid accumulation of the serum and liver, when hepatotoxicity was induced by benzo(a)pyrene. The results are as follows: 1. Mugwort water extract administration prevented the increase of serum and liver AST, ALT, LDH, ${\gamma}$-GTP, liver ALP activities and bilirubin content caused by B(a)P injection. 2. The increase of serum and liver ALT, LDH, ${\gamma}$-GTP, serum AST activities and liver bilirubin contents in B(a)P treated group were decreased by mugwort methanol extract treatment. 3. Serum and liver total cholesterol, phospholipid, triglyceride level and serum HDL-cholesterol level were increased by B(a)P treatment. After combined treatment of mugwort water and methanul extracts, these lipid content were significantly decreased. 4. The hepatotropic effect of mugwort water extract and after-treatment against B(a)P induced hepatotoxicity was superior to that of methanol extract and pretreatment.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of Angelicae gigantis Radix extract oil the hepatic detoxifying enzyme activities and lipids. Male sprague-dawley rats were administrated the extracts with benzo(a)pyrene, a hepatotoxic agent, inducing liver damages. Results obtained from this study were as follows: 1. The markedly increased enzyme activities (AST, ALT, LDH, ALP, ${\gamma}$-GTP, GSH-Px) in B(a)P induced groups tended to be decreased by the treatment of the Angelicae gigantis Radix extract. 2. Liver GSH content and lipid peroxide activity were decreased by the administration of the extracts. 3. It tended that the curative effects were better than the protective effects of the extracts.

The components were isolated from the root of Astragalus membranaceus and their structures were characterized as 3,4-methylenedioxypyrrolealdehyde, $7-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl$ 7, 3'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy isoflavone and a naphthalene derivative on the basis of spectral and physical methods. $7-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl$ 7, 3'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy isoflavone and the naphthalene compound showed protective effect on $CC_{l4}-induced$ cytotoxicity in primary cultured rat hepatocytes.
