To study the species diversity of the genus Boletellus in Korea, 56 specimens were collected from 1982 to 1996 at 20 locations including Odaesan. Collected specimens were observed and seven species among them were identified and described by observing macroscopic and microscopic characters, two of which were confirmed new to Korea: Boletellus chrysenteroides (Snell) Snell. Boletellus fallax Corner. Seven species were described here: Boletellus chrysenteroides (Snell) Snell, B. elatus Nagasawa, B. emodensis (Berk.) Singer, B. fallax Corner, B. obscurecoccineus $(V{\"{o}}hn)$ Singer, B. russellii (Frost) Gilbert, B. shichianus (Teng & Ling) Teng.

Various lines of evidence suggest that dietary components protect the initiation step of carcinogenesis. In this study, the ethylacetate (PGMEA), ethylether (PGMEE), butanol (PGMB) and aqueous (PGMA) soluble fractions of Punica granatum L. (PG) were screened for their growth inhibition using the MTT assay on HepG2, HeLa, C6, MCF-7 and HT-29 cells and for their activity to induce quinone reductase (QR) in HepG2 cells. Among various fractions of Punica granatum L., the PGMEE showed the strongest growth inhibition at 500 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL which resulted 92.5% on Hela cell lines and 97.8% on C6 cell lines. The PGMEA and PGMB also showed significant growth inhibition. The assay of QR induction on HepG2 cells, grown in the presence of PGMEE at the concentration of 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL, was 1.4 times more effective compared with the control value of1.0. These results suggested that useful cancer chemoprevention materials could be isolated from PGMEE fraction of Punica granatum L.

This study was undertaken to design Ginyeo's character and costume in the early-middle Goryeo Dynasty which had a few relics, and to make practical cultural contents. The famous Goryeo Ginyeos who had real names are costume characters. Goryeo women dressed in delicate white ramie jarket in "Goryeo-dokyung", and the shape of Jacket can be two kinds: long-wide jacket enough to tie a belt, and long caftan cover the knee. Goryeo women enjoyed wide yellow skirt, but Ginyeo in "Dongguk-isanggutjip" put on pink, flower, pomegranate, red skirt for high class ladies. In the case of Mong-su(a head cloth with black gauze train), it is thought that Ginyeo fold up train like lower class or just hang down like ordinary women, because of their status. As underwear, a ramie jacket and wide underpants were set up. It is needed that many Golden bells and jade trinkets must be attached to Goryeo Ginyeo's waist to stress their characteristics. Ginyeo's hair style can be designed so that a bunch of right hair was dropped down and the rest hair was rolled on reft shoulder. To design a Ginyeo's costume chatacter of the early-middle Goryeo, the richness of wide skirt, delicacy of white ramie, a great deal of trinkets must be emphasized correctly as a characteristic of Goryeo women's costume in that period.

Objectives: The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the effects of MYRISTICAE SEMEN, GRANATI PERICARPIUM and ALPINIAE KATSUMADAI SEMEN on the anticatharsis by using mice and Guinea pigs. Methods : We evaluated the effect of herbs on the extracted organs contraction, the barium sulfate transport, and the anticathartic action induced by acetylcholine chloride, barium chloride, histamine chloride, neostigmine, castor oil, pilocarpine in the ileums, large intestines, small intestines of animals. Results : In the extracted organs, all herbs showed concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on the constriction of extracted ileum. The transport of barium sulfate in the large and small intestine was increased in comparing with the control group. And every three herbs showed the anticathartic action. Conclusions : These results demonstrate that MYRISTICAE SEMEN, GRANATI PERICARPIUM and ALPINIAE KATSUMADAI SEMEN extracts have an advantageous effects on diarrhea induced by drugs and will contribute to the development of diarrhea treatment through further related studies.

The time-spatial distributional changes of fourteen warmth-tolerant plants have reconstructed by the use of the historical records of the Chosun Dynasty on the periods of 1454, 1531, 1660, 1760, 1842∼45, 1864, 1907 and 1931. Nine types of geographical distribution, and four types of temporal distribution are, respectively, recognised from fourteen warmth-tolerant plants. The most widely distributed species which occur at more than 100 counties was the persimmon. Species occurred more than 50 counties include the large bamboo, small bamboo and pomegranate. Tea plant and ramie are also commonly found species at more than 30 counties. Past geographical distribution of warmth-tolerant plants seems to be the result of both natural and anthropogenic environments.

The test results of Teriyaki sauce produced adding pomegranate concentrate are as follows: pH of Teriyaki sauce adding pomegranate concentrate showed significant difference among all samples (p<0.05). In case of sugar content, the higher the amount of pomegranate concentrate rose, the higher in sugar content it was. The test result of the amount of water showed significant difference among all samples (p<0.05). As the amount of added pomegranate concentrate was increased, the amount of water in the sauce was decreased. For viscosity, as the amount of added pomegranate concentrate was increased, viscosity of Teriyaki sauce was increased. The test result of chromaticity showed that as the amount of added pomegranate concentrate was increased, brightness (L), redness (a), and yellowness (b) were increased. According to the result of sensory evaluation, overall-acceptability was 7.5 highest at 6% compared to the control group. In view of the above results, it is advised to produce Teriyaki sauce with 6% pomegranate concentrate for its practical use.

The quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of makgeolli added with different amounts of pomegranate powder (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) were investigated. Although pH was reduced with increasing concentrations of pomegranate powder, all pH values rapidly decreased for 2 days, and then gently increased afterwards. Total acidity increased until 3 days of fermentation and then slowly increased. Sugar and reducing sugar contents reached maximum levels after 1 day of fermentation and gradually decreased until 7 days. Alcohol content remarkably increased until 2 days and gradually increased until 7 days. The addition of over 10% pomegranate powder increased yeast count until 3 days of fermentation, followed by a decrease. In the sensory evaluation, color, flavor, sweetness, and overall acceptance decreased with increasing concentrations of pomegranate powder, and sourness and bitterness slightly increased. Early antioxidant activity improved according to the concentration of pomegranate powder, but addition of 15% and 20% pomegranate powders reduced antioxidant activity from 3 days of fermentation. In conclusion, addition of 10% pomegranate powder would be the most suitable to manufacture pomegranate makgeolli.

Punica granatum, L. (Pomegranate) has 613 seeds which accidentally corresponds to the 613 commandments in the Bible. Accordingly, the fruit has been worshipped by the Jewish and other religious people from the ancient. Pomegranate's seed, peel and juice contain a variety of ethnomedical components so much as the sum of three kinds of other common fruits. The number of published papers related to the pomegranate in recent 7 years flourished 7 times more than before at the bases of Medline record. Since the containments of estrogen, as $17{\alpha}-estradiol,\;17{\beta}-estradiol$, estrone, and estradiol, etc., in pomegranate have been reported, public interests and commercial values of pomegranate arose considerably. The report was disproved later, however, merits of this fruit remained yet; clinical efficacy for preventing and remediating cancers including breast and prostate cancers by oral administration of the juice, seed oil, and peel extract is still believed to be true. In this review, target components of pomegranate such as antioxidants, anticancers, antiestrogens and ethnomedical components were analyzed and discussed along with examining its pharmaceutical efficacy and prescription to postmenopausal lesion, cardiosclerosis, cosmetic beautification, viral and allergic symptoms, and diabetes mellitus, etc.
