${\ulcorner}$상한잡병론(傷寒雜病論)${\lrcorner}$에 나오는 양허증의 병인병리(病因病理)에 대한 내용을 종합하여 검토하고, 그 처방의 구성 약물과 용약 규율에 대하여 살펴본 결과, 양허증을 치료하는 상용약물로는 부자 계지 건강 오수유 생강 등이 쓰였음을 알 수 있었다. 임상에서 약을 사용할 때에는 장부의 생리적 특징에 근거하여 약물을 배합하여야 좋은 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 예를 들어 심양허(心陽虛)에는 계지감초(桂枝甘草)에 복령(茯笭)을 배합하고, 신양허(腎陽虛)에는 진무탕(眞武湯) 신기환 등(等)에 복령(茯笭), 택사(澤瀉), 백출(白朮) 등의 약물을 배합하여, 비양허(脾陽虛)로 인한 담음(痰飮)에는 계지감초(桂枝甘草)의 신감(辛甘)한 약성으로 화양(化陽)하고, 복령(茯笭), 백출(白朮)로 건비리습(健脾利濕)하는 영계출감탕을 사용하며, 심하(心下)에 수(水)가 정체된 경우에는 윗 처방에 사인 백두구 등의 온건비위(溫健脾胃)하고 성비소식(醒脾消食)하는 약물을 가하여 사용한다. 폐양허(肺陽虛)하여 폐위가 된 경우에는 감초(甘草) 건강(乾姜) 등을 사용하여 온폐복기하는데, 이는 ‘배토생금(培土生金)’의 의미이다. 간양허(肝陽虛)가 나타나는 경우는 매우 드문데, 위기가 허한(虛寒)하여 간(肝)이 소설(疏泄)작용을 못할 때에는, 오수유(吳茱萸)로 온위산한(溫胃散寒)하고, 인삼(人參) 대조(大棗)로 보중익기하며, 오수유(吳茱萸) 생강(生姜)의 신산(辛散)작용으로 간기를 다스리는 오수유탕(吳茱萸湯)을 사용하여 강역지구(降逆止嘔)하며, 혼(魂)을 수렴하지 못하여 생긴 실안(失眼)에는 산조인탕(酸棗仁湯)으로 보간(補肝)하여 치료하며, 간경(肝經)에 한사(寒邪)가 침입하여 근맥이 연급(攣急)하게 된 경우에는 지주산(蜘蛛散)을 사용하여 온경산한(溫經散寒)한다.

Glycyrrhizin은 감초의 주성분으로 많은 생리활성을 나타내는 성분이다. 감초를 복용하게 되면, 글리시리진은 장내에 서식하고 있는 장내세균에 의해 glycyrrhetic acid로 대사된다. 하지만, 지금까지 대사반응에 관여하고 있는 균주가 분리 후 자원화되지 않았다. 본 연구를 통해 사람의 대변으로부터 glycyrrhizin을 대사하는 균주로 분리된 strain GLY의 16S rRNA 유전자를 분석한 결과, Enterococcus faecium과 99%의 상동성을 보여, Enterococcus faecium GLY (Genebank No. MH048988)로 명명하였다. 대사활성의 특성을 검토하기 위하여 time course, 기질의 농도에 따른 대사활성의 변화, 근연 균주와 대사활성 비교를 실시하였다. Time course 실험에서 GLY균주가 증식함에 따라 기질인 glycyrrhizin은 줄어들고, 대사산물인 glycyrrhetic acid는 새로 생성되었다. 또한, 기질의 농도에 따른 대사활성의 차이 검토를 위해 여러 농도를 처리하여 배양하였을 때, 1.0mM을 처리한 샘플에서 최대값의 대사물 농도를 보였다. Enterococcus faecium와의 근연균주를 이용하여 glycyrrhizin 대사활성을 측정한 결과, strain GLY 균주가 가장 큰 대사능을 가지고 있었다. 본 연구는 앞으로 glycyrrhizin 생체이용 및 대사 연구를 위한 기초연구가 될 것이며, 장내세균에 의한 생약성분의 대사를 이해하는데 도움이 될 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 분쇄방법에 따른 감초 분쇄생성물의 특성을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. Hammer mill의 경우 d$_{80}$=750$\mu\textrm{m}$로 중간미분쇄의 입도범위를 가지며 비표면적은 0.269m/g로 분석되었고, Pin mill의 경우 d$_{80}$=600$\mu\textrm{m}$로 Hammer mill보다 입자크기는 조금 작으나 중간미분쇄영역의 입도범위를 가지며 비표면적은 0.324m$^2$/g로 분석되었고, Turbo mill은 d$_{80}$=250$\mu\textrm{m}$와 비표면적은 0.370m$^2$/g로 입자의 크기가 가장 작아 다른 분쇄기보다 분쇄능이 가장 우수한 것으로 분석되었다. 2. Hammer mill의 분쇄메커니즘은 대부분 충격, 일부 전단과 마찰에 의해 분쇄가 행해지고, Pin mill은 핀 사이에서의 전단, 충격, 마찰에 의해 분쇄된다. 즉 충격과 마찰에 의한 분쇄는 전단력에 의한 분쇄메커니즘보다 분쇄 능이나 분쇄효율이 상대적으로 낮은 것을 알 수 있었으며 주로 전단력과 충격, 반발력에 의해 분쇄가 이루어지는 Turbo mill의 분쇄능 및 분쇄 효율이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에 의해서 감초와 같이 섬유질을 많이 함유하고 있는 원료를 분쇄할 경우 분쇄메커니즘이 전단력인 분쇄기가 가장 적합하고, 분쇄중 소요되는 동력 면에서도 기존 분쇄기보다 우수한 Turbo mill의 분쇄조건을 확립해야 한다고 사료된다. 사료된다.

In an attempt to evaluate licorice quality based on its biological activity, we grafted an on-line high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) bioassay method into the previously established HPLC analysis method. The common antioxidant peaks in licorices of various origin were observed through an on-line HPLC/DPPH system leading to a decrease in absorbance at 517 nm for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Among them, the licorice from Youngju possessed the highest activity. Therefore, three active standard compounds from the dehydroglyasperin C, dehydroglyasperin D, and isoangustone A, were isolated and elucidated by medium pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) and instrumental analysis such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), respectively. On-line HPLC/ABTS analysis method with the simultaneous determination of three standard compounds and their radical scavenging activity was established for the quality evaluation of licorices. 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid radicals (ABTS) which is stable and effective was used in replace of DPPH. The radical scavenging activity of three standards is compared with that of Trolox, known as antioxidant, showing a negative peak with a decrease in absorbance at 734 nm for ABTS. This on-line HPLC/ABTS analysis method was validated for specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy in compliance with international conference on harmonization (ICH) guideline.

This study was conducted to inhibit the browning of fresh-cut lotus roots by blanching in a Glycyrrhiza glabra L. and Astragalus membranaceus Bunge extract solution (0.5%). Lotus roots were cut to 1 cm using a knife. The fresh-cut lotus roots were blanched at $50^{\circ}C$ in distilled water (DW, Cont), Glycyrrhiza glabra L. extract solution (GE), and Astragalus membranaceus Bunge extract solution (AE). After treatment, they were packaged with 0.04 mm PE bags and were stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 12 days. Their color, hardness, DPPH radical scavenging activity, pH, and total soluble solids were then investigated. During storage, the samples treated with GE and AE had high $L^*$ values. They were also found to have higher values compared to the control group in the analysis of the browning index. No difference was found, however, in the hardness analysis. With regard to the DPPH radical scavenging activity, the sample treated with Glycyrrhiza glabra L. extract had the highest activity. In the pH analysis, all the groups were found to have a decrease tendency for all the storage periods. The total soluble solids decreased in the control group and slightly increased in the AE and GE groups. These results show that blanching in Glycyrrhiza glabra L. or Astragalus membranaceus Bunge extract is effective for preventing the browning of fresh-cut lotus roots.

Conditions for extraction of antimicrobial materials from licorice root, Glycyrrhiza glabra, were optimized. Among solvents tested, 95% ethanol gave highest antimicrobial activity, and was chosen as optimal extracting solvent. Extraction temperature and time were optimal at room temperature and for 12 hr, respectively. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 95% ethanol extracts was determined against 14 microorganisms. Reference microorganisms included 6 Gram(-) bacteria, 4 Gram(+) bacteria, and 4 yeast strains. Ethanol extract exerted very strong growth inhibition on Gram(+) bacteria, while was moderately effective for Gram(-) bacteria and yeasts. Treatment at $180^{\circ}C$ for 30 min or extreme pHs merely destroyed antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract. These findings suggest ethanol extract of G glabra may be useful as natural preservative.

We studied the effects of dip treatments of natural extracts (Camellia sinensis, Angelica gigas, Astragalus membranaceus, Glycyrrhiza uralensis: 1% extract) on the quality of peeled 'Daebo' chestnut. After dipping treatment peeled chestnuts were vacuum packaged with $75{\mu}m$ PE+Nylon 7-layer film then stored in $4^{\circ}C$ incubator for 35days. The quality changes including the surface color and off-odor were evaluated for storage days. The natural extracts dipping treatment on peeled chestnut was effective on skin browning inhibition. Especially, Astragalus membranaceus and Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract treatments was significantly effective in reducing surface browning. The color change (${\Delta}E$) of peeled chestnut was the highest (5.6) in control, whereas that was the lowest (3.4) under Astragalus membranaceus extract treatment at 35 storage day. The natural exteacts treatments had no effect on the weight, the mositure loss rate, the firmness and the soluble solid contencts of peeled chestnuts during storage after treatment. The decaying rate of peeled chestnut was 9.0% in control, 9.0% in Camellia sinensis extract treatment, 9.0% in Angelica gigas extract treatment, 21.0% in Astragalus membranaceus extract treatment, and 7.0% Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract treatment at 35 storage day. Sensory evaluation revealed significant differences in off-odor and color attributes. After all, the score of overall sensory evaluation was the lowest in Astragalus membranaceus extract treatment and the highest in Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract treatment. As the results, the natural extract treatments, especially with vacuum packing after Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract treatment, extended the shelf-life of the peeled chestnut by inhibiting the surface browning.

A study was conducted to improve the biological activity of two medicinal plants, Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, by fermentation. The biological activity was assessed by determining antibacterial, antioxidant and antimethanogenic properties. Fermentation was achieved by adding the plant materials in MRS broth at 10% (w/v) and different starter cultures at 1% (v/v). Condition for fermentation were incubation temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and agitation at 150 rpm for 48 h. Six starter cultures, Weissella confusa NJ28 (Genbank accession number KJ914897), Weissella cibaria NJ33 (Genbank accession number KJ914898), Lactobacillus curvatus NJ40 (Genbank accession number KJ914899), Lactobacillus brevis NJ42 (Genbank accession number KJ914900), Lactobacillus plantarum NJ45 (Genbank accession number KJ914901) and Lactobacillus sakei NJ48 (Genbank accession number KJ914902) were used. Antibacterial activity was observed in L. curvatus NJ40 and L. plantarum NJ45 only as opposed to other treatments, including the non-fermented groups, which showed no antibacterial activity. Both plants showed antioxidant activity, although E. ulmoides Oliv. had lower activity than G. uralensis. However, fermentation by all strains significantly improved (p<0.05), antioxidant activity in both plants compared to non-fermented treatment. Six treatments were based on antibacterial activity results, selected for in vitro rumen fermentation; 1) non-fermented E. ulmoides, 2) fermented E. ulmoides NJ40, 3) fermented E. ulmoides NJ45, 4) non-fermented G. uralensis, 5) fermented G. uralensis NJ40, 6) fermented G. uralensis NJ45. A negative control was also added, making a total of 7 treatments for the in vitro experiment. Medicinal plant-based treatments significantly improved (p<0.05) total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration. Significant methane reduction per mol of VFA were observed in G. uralensis (p<0.05). Based on the present study, fermentation improves the biological activity of E. ulmoides Oliv. and G. uralensis. Fermented G. uralensis could also be applied as an enteric methane mitigating agent in ruminant animals.
