Objectives : We investigated the effects of Coptidis Rhizoma and Aconiti Lateralis Preparata Radix on the LPS(Lipopolysaccharide) ICV(intracerebroventricular) injection. Methods : We measured plasma corticosterone level and rectal temperature in mice induced by I.C.V. injection of LPS (100ng/mouse). Results : The results were as follows.. 1. The plasma corticosterone levels in CR-1(0.5g/kg), CR-2(1.0g/kg), CR-3(3.0g/kg) were not decreased significant comparing with the control group.(P<0.05) 2. The plasma corticosterone level in AR-1(0.5g/kg) was decreased significant comparing with the control group.(P<0.05), but AR-2(1.0g/Kg) and AR-3(3.0g/kg) were not decreased significant comparing with the control group.(P<0.05). 3. The rectal temperature in CR-1(0.5g/kg), CR-2(1.0g/kg), CR-3(3.0g/kg) was decreased significant comparing with the control group.(P<0.05) 4. The rectal temperature in AR-1(0.5g/kg), AR-2(1.0g/kg), AR-3(3.0g/kg) was not decreased significant comparing with the control group.(P<0.05) Conclusion : These data revealed that Rhizoma Coptidis might have no significant effect on inflammation stress and Aconiti Lateralis Preparata Radix(0.5g/kg/mouse) might have significant effect on inflammation stress.

To study stability of distilled herbal medicine, we chose changes in UV spectrum, pH, conductivity, and HPLC chromatogram. Aconiti Lateralis preparata Radix and Scutellariae Radix were selected and studied. There ws no consistancy in UV spectrums of preparatons and in duration. The changes in pH and conductivity were not correlated to those in UV spectrums. HPLC chromatograms were also compared each other depending on the preparations. One interesting peak of distilled Aconiti solution was appeared at 40 min retention time which was not identified yet. Ingeneral, UV spectrum, pH, conductivity measurements are pretty poor tool to study stability of herbal medicine although HPLC analysis should be studied further.

This study was carried out to investigate the comparison of immunomodualtory effects of water-extracted Aconiti lateralis Preparata Radix(PR), Zingiberis Rhizoma(ZR), Cinnamomi Cortex(CC) and Evodiae Fructus(EF). The parameter examined to assess apparent immunomodulatory effect of the water-extracted PR, ZR, CC and EF included the regulation of Nitric oxide (NO). Also, ZR and EF represent the expression of Th1/Th2 type cytokine, the change of B cell phenotype. The water-extracted PR, ZR, CC and EF inhibited NO production and iNOS protein expression in LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. In the Th1 and Th2 cytokine expression, the water-extracted ZR and EF induced IL-2, IFNr and IL-10 mRNA gene expression. Therefore, it seems that the water-extracted ZR and EF have a inducing effect of Th1 and Th2 type cytokines. In the Flow cytometry analysis, the water-extracted ZR and EF changed B cell phenotype (CD45R/B220), did NOT in PR and CC. The water-extracted PR, ZR, CC and EF have a reducing effect of immune suppression cause by Methotrexate (MTX), an agent of immune suppression. These results suggest that the immunomodulatory effects of the water-extracted ZR and EF may be, in part, associated with the inducing IL-2 and IFNr mRNA gene expression In and regulation of NO production in macrophage cells.

Objective : To suggest a scientific evidence of Aconitum carmichaeli Debx. (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata: ALRP) as one of cooling and heating medicines on the regulation of body temperature, we investigated the effects of ALRP water extract on hypothyroidism. Methods : Hypothyroidism was induced by intradermal injection with PTU for 4 weeks in SD rats. ALRP extract or L-thyroxine as a control drug was orally administrated for 2 weeks with PTU injection in rats. The physiological and serological parameters were measured in rats. The histological change of thyroid tissues was observed by H&E staining, and also the expression of thermo-regulating proteins was determined by Western blot in dorsal root ganglia and brain tissues of rats. Results : The administration of ALRP extract in PTU-induced hypothyroidism rats was significantly increased body temperature, but did not changes on body weight, food and water intake. ALRP extract did not effect on the levels of TSH and T4 in the hypothyroidism rats. ALRP extract significantly decreased the levels of GPT, glucose, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and total cholesterol in the hypothyroidism rats. In histological observation, the enlarged epithelium and atrophic follicles with higher concentration of follicular cells on hypothyroidism were improved by ALRP extract. In addition, ALRP extract increased the expression of TRPV1 and TRPM8 ion channel proteins in hypothyroidism rats. Conclusion : These results indicate that ALRP extract can improve PTU-induced hypothyroidism through regulation of body temperature and lipid accumulation. The action mechanism of ALRP extract is related with body temperature control by thermoregulation with TRP ion channels.

Objectives : Aconiti Lateralis Preparata Radix (Aconitum Carmichaeli, AC) and Cinnamomi Cortex (Cinnamomi Cortex, CC) have been treated to elderly for kidney yang enhancement in Korean traditional medicine. In this study, the effects of water extract of AC and CC on RANKL (Receptor Activator for Nuclear Factor ${\kappa}B$ Ligand)-induced osteoclast differentiation were evaluated in culture system. Methods : MTT assay was used to evaluate the potential cytotoxicity of AC and CC extracts in bone macrophage marrows (BMMs) stimulated with M-CSF. TRAP (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) staining and TRAP activity were performed to know the inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation. The protein expression levels of nuclear factors such as activated T cell(NFAT)c1, c-Fos, MAPKs and ${\beta}$-actin in cell lysates treated with AC and CC extracts were analysed by western blotting. Results : AC, CC extracts and their co-administration inhibited significantly RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in BMMs in a dose dependent manner without toxicity. Each AC and CC extracts inhibited the phosphorylation of p38. Also, AC and CC extracts, respectively, inhibited the protein expression of c-Fos and NFATc1 more than Co-administration of AC and CC even if all treatments did. It was observed that RANKL-induced degradation of I-${\kappa}B$ is significantly suppressed by all treatments. Conclusions : Taken together, It was concluded that AC and CC have beneficial effect on osteoporosis by inhibition of osteoclast differentiation. Thus, Atractylodis AC and CC could be a treatment option for osteoporosis.
