We investigated the antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects of extracts from the leaves, stems, and fruit of Cudrania tricuspidata (CT) against $H_2O_2$ or ethanol-induced oxidative damage. The total polyphenol and flavonoid content was the highest in the 80% ethanol extracts from the leaves of the plant (CTL80). Also, the radical scavenging activity of DPPH and ABTS in the CTL80 was significantly higher than that of the non-treated control. To determine the hepatoprotective effects of CT in $H_2O_2$ and ethanol-induced oxidative damage, cell viability was measured using an XTT assay. Pre-treatment of CTL80 significantly increased cell viability compared with the non-treated control cells by 71.21% and 80.40%, respectively. The data suggests that CTL80 exhibits hepatoprotective antioxidant effects. Therefore, CTL80 may be considered a potential agent to control $H_2O_2$ or ethanol-induced liver damage.

오디는 옛부터 보혈자음(補血滋陰), 생진윤조(生津閏操), 현훈이명(眩最耳鳴), 심계실면(心悸失眠), 수발조백(鬚髮早白) 등을 치료하는 효능을 가진다고 알려져 있다. 상심자(桑 子)라 하여 뽕나무 열매로서 한방에서 상심(桑 ), 상실(桑實), 오심(烏 ), 흑심(黑 ) 등으로 지칭되며, 뽕나무과(Moraceae)에 속하는 뽕나무(Morus alba L)의 성숙한 과실로 취화과(聚花果)에 속하며 작은 수과(瘦果)가 많이 모여 이루어진 장원형으로 길이 1 내지 2 cm, 지름 0.5 내지 0.8 cm이며 황갈색, 갈홍색 또는 암자색을 띠고 짧은 줄기가 있다. 작은 수과(瘦果)는 난원형으로 조금 납작한 편이며, 길이는 약 2 mm, 너비는 약 1 mm 이고 육질의 화편(花片) 4개가 둘러싸고 있다. 그러나 아직까지는 오디에 대하여 자연과학적인 연구방법을 이용하여 구체적으로 연구된 바가 많지 않다. 또한 이의 생리활성 성분에 대해서도 그 작용과 연관지어 보고된 바가 많지 않다. 뇌졸중 가운데 뇌조직으로 가는 혈액 공급의 감소 혹은 차단으로 발생되는 허혈성 뇌졸중(ischemic stroke)은 전체 뇌졸중 환자의 약 80%정도를 차지하고 있으나 아직까지 뇌신경세포 손상기전의 복잡성 등으로 뇌졸중으로 발생하는 뇌신경세포의 손상을 보호해 줄 수 있는 물질이 개발되어 있지 못한 실정이다. 한편, 천연물로부터 뇌허혈 보호작용을 가지는 물질의 도출은 주로 한방에서 처방을 중심으로 이루어지고 있으며, 따라서 처방으로부터 신경보호작용을 가지는 물질의 도출은 그 처방에 함유되어 있는 각종 생약이 갖는 다양한 활성으로 인해 어려운 점이 있으며, 비록 효과가 있다고 하더라도 과학적인 입증자료가 매우 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 위에 언급된 자료를 토대로 오디추출물이 뇌허혈에 효과가 있을 것이라는 가정하에 in vitro system을 이용하여 오디추출물의 신경보호작용기전을 검색하고자 DPPH radical 의 생성억제효과, PC12 cell line을 이용한 산화적 스트레스에 의한 오디추출물의 방어효과, LSP에 의하여 활성화된 BV-2 cell에 미치는 영향 등을 검색하였다. 오디의 DPPH 소거활성은 단일화랍물인 bacicalein과 유사한 효과를 나타냈으며 PC12 cell line을 이용한 산화적 스트레스에 의한 오디의 방어 효과는 LDH activity를 행한 결과 농도 의존적으로 LDH 유리 량을 감소시켰다. 뇌손상시에 오디추출물의 염증방어 효과를 관찰하기 위하여 microglial cell line인 BV2 세포주를 선택하여 배양한 후 LPS로 자극을 준 후 일차적인 염증지표인 NO양을 측정한 결과 BV2 cell에 LPS 100 ng/ml을 처리하는 경우 nitrite량이 유의적으로 증가하였는데 이때 오디추출물을 1, 5, 10 ug/ml의 용량으로 처리하는 경우 역시 저농도에서 NO생성량을 감소시켰다. 정리해보면 뽕나무과 식물인 오디는 신경보호효과가 있는 것으로 사료되는데 이러한 효과는 아마도 오디의 항산화효과에 기인한 것으로 추정된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the food value of Cudrania tricuspidata at its various maturation stages. The pH, total acid and reducing sugar contents of its fruit juice were determined to have been 4.2~5.1, 1.4~2.0% and 5.4~8.6%, respectively. The general chemical components of its fruit were observed as 76~80% moisture, 2.2~3.5% crude protein, 1.7~2.9% crude fat, 0.8~1.2% ash and 14.5~16.4% carbohydrate. Its free sugar, glucose and fructose contents were determined. The fructose contents of both its ripened and over-ripened fruits were higher than their glucose contents. Organic acids such as oxalic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and succinic acid were detected, and the concentration of the malic acid and the succinic acid were found to have been most abundant. The K content was higher than the amounts of other minerals, such as Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na and P. Its vitamin C and the total amount of its dietary fiber were 127.5~149.2 mg% and 22.7~38.7%, respectively. Its insoluble dietary fiber content was higher than its soluble dietary fiber content. Its total polyphenol and flavonoid content were 18.9~19.6 mg% and 40.9~48.2 mg%, respectively.

To investigate symbiotic relationship of 'Chunma (Gastrodia elata) and the rhizomorph of Armillaria mellea, volatile organic acids and alcoholic compounds which were considered to be contained in Gastrodia elata were tested to determine stimulatory effects on rhizomorph growth on a chemically defined medium. Also, volatile organic acids were isolated from Gastrodia elata and analyzed by gas chromatography. The growth of rhizomorph was stimulated by the presence of alcohols and volatile organic acids, but acetic acid and methanol were ineffective. In the presence of valeric acid and ethanol, Armillaria mellea produced abundant rhizomorph at concentrations of 0.1 and 1%, respectively. Ethanol and valeric acid supplemented at regular intervals of 3 days as lower concentrations in the medium stimulated the growth of Armillaria mellea. The concentrations of ethanol and valeric acid as low at 0.01% added 3 days intervals for 15 days were more effective than initial concentrations of 0.1 and 1% in stimulating rhizomorph development of Armillaria mellea. Eight kinds of volatile organic acids were identified and quantified by gas chromatography. The major compounds were n-propionic, valeric, iso-carproic and caproic acids, and the minor compounds were iso-butyric, butyric, iso-valeric and hepatanoic acids. Valeric acid was the most abundant among them.

We analyzed rutin content using mulberry genetic resources. They were grown under the same environment and conditions. Mulberry leaves were collected and then freeze-dried and powdered for rutin test. As a result, mean content of mulberry strains was $0.38{\pm}0.17%$, and the coefficient of variation (CV) was 45.7%. The variation was greatly severe. Among the tested strains, 'Jangloe' was showed the highest content of 0.97%, whereas 'Sungsu 3' was showed the lowest content of 0.01% respectively. Finally we selected rutin high-containing 6 strains. They are as follows. 'Jangloe', 'Pumbo 6', 'Youjin', 'Kaeryangjeonjeon', 'Baekhak', and 'Pumbo 32' which are more than twice of the overall average content.

The Studies were conducted to provide the state of mulberry cultivation and it's development in Banguet province (high land) of Philippines. Philippines initiated the sericulture industry with the technical asistance of Japan in 1974 and established mulberry field and sericultural facilities with technical asistance of Korea in 1990 and 1995. The required average of 100 to 150mm per month is not available during the dry season from December to March. Therefore mulching with grass which is available abundantly in the Philippines should be established to conserve moisture, to control soil erosion, surface ran-off and also to increase the humus content in the soil. In chemical properties of mulberry field, the pH value of soil is 4.7, organic matter 1.6%, and available phosphorus 6ppm. Therefore, all fields should do liming and be applied compost. To improve leaf yield for mulberry planted under partial shade area of pine trees, more pruning of pine tree should be done for good sunshining of mulberry, more liming and compost should be applied to improve acidic soil. To control the leaf roller, DDVP and KAFIL are able to be used. When spraying insecticides to control mulberry insect pests, care should be taken to consider the residual effects of chemicals on the leaf. Leaf should be fed to silkworms only after the leaves are free of any residual effects.

The authors studied on mulberry cutting of soft wood. It had been known that the rootability of softwood cuttings was formed after 25 days after winter bud sprouting. But, the result showed that the formation of rootability of soft wood was 9 days earlier than the conventional time.
