${\beta}$-asarone (BAS) is an active component of Acori graminei rhizoma, a traditional medicine used clinically in treating dementia and chronic stress in Korea. However, the cognitive effects of BAS and its mechanism of action have remained elusive. The purpose of this study was to examine whether BAS improved spatial cognitive impairment induced in rats following chronic corticosterone (CORT) administration. CORT administration (40 mg/kg, i.p., 21 days) resulted in cognitive impairment in the avoidance conditioning test (AAT) and the Morris water maze (MWM) test that was reversed by BAS (200 mg/kg, i.p). Additionally, as assessed by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR analysis, the administration of BAS significantly alleviated memory-associated decreases in the expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) proteins and mRNAs in the hippocampus. Also, BAS administration significantly restored the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 mRNAs in the hippocampus. Thus, BAS may be an effective therapeutic for learning and memory disturbances, and its neuroprotective effect was mediated, in part, by normalizing the CORT response, resulting in regulation of BDNF and CREB functions and anti-apoptosis in rats.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the trend of traditional Chinese medicine for sudden sensorineural hearing Loss(SSHL) in Chinese journals. Methods : Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) and Wanfang med online were used to search randomized controlled trials(RCTs) on SSHL which were published from January, 2017 to December, 2021. Results : Among Chinese studies, Tonifying and Replenishing medicinal(補益藥) and Exterior-releasing medicinal(解表藥) were the most frequently used medicine in treating SSHL. Acori Graminei Rhizoma(石菖蒲) was the most frequently used herb excluding Glycyrrhizae Radix(甘草). All studies reported that using Traditional Chinese Medicine alone or combining western medicne(WM) is more effective for treating SSHL than using WM alone, although one study reported the result is not statistically significant. Conclusions : In analysis of selected studies, co-treatment of traditional chinese medicine and WM can be more effective way for treating SSHL than using WM alone. Side effects of treating SSHL can also be reduced by co-treatment of traditional chinese medicine and WM.

노화된 노화촉진생쥐 (senescence-accelerated mouse, SAMPB)에 육미지황탕(六味地黃湯)에 원지와 석창포를 가미한 육미지황탕가미방(六味地黃湯加味方)을 4개월간 투여한 후 항산화효능을 검증하기 위하여 간조직의 superoxide dismutase(SOD)와 catalase의 활성도 및 세포소기관의 미세구조적인 특징의 변화를 관찰하였다. 대조군은 12개월령의 SAM P8을, 실험군은 8개월령부터 4개월간 약물을 투여한 12개월령을 사용하였다. 간조직에서 MnSOD의 활성도는 노화된 12개월령의 대조군 SAM P8이 육미지황탕가미방을 4개월간 식이시킨 12개월령의 실험군 SAM P8보다 약 11% 정도 높게 나타났지만, CuZnSOD의 활성도는 실험군이 대조군보다 20% 정도 높게 나타났다. Catalase 활성도는 육미지황탕 가미방을 식이시킨 실험군이 대조군에 비하여 약 67% 높게 나타났다. 전자현미경 관찰 결과, 대조군 SAM P8의 간세포는 실험군에 비하여 과립형질내세망의 내강이 전반적으로 다소 평대되어 있었고, 사립체의 형태는 비정상적이면서 기질의 전자밀도가 높을뿐만 아니라 사립체능선이 뚜렷하지 않았다. 무과립형질내세망은 세포질 전반에 걸쳐 발달해 있었으나 그들의 내강은 다소 팽대해 있었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 육미지황탕가미방(六味地黃湯加味方)은 노화된 SAM P8의 간조직에 대하여 항산화 효능이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The effects of the oriental herbal medicine Saenghyetang(SHT, 生慧湯), which consists of Rehmanniae Radix (熟地黃 九蒸: was made by 9th steam) 40g, Corni Fructus(山茱黃) 16g, Polygalae Radix(遠志) 8g, Zizyphi Spinosae Semen(酸棗仁) 2g, Biotae Semen(柏子仁 去油: oil ingredient was removed) 20g, Poria Cocos(茯笭) 12g, Ginseng Radix(人蔘) 12g, Acori Graminei Rhizoma(石菖蒲) 2g, Sinapis Semen(白芥子) 8g, on learning ability and memory were investigated. Hot water extract(HWE) and ethanol extract(EE) from SHT were used for the studies. Learning ability and memory are related to modifications of synaptic strength among neurons that interactive. Enhanced synaptic coincidence detection leads to improved learning ability and memory. If the NMDA receptor, a synaptic coincidence detector, acts as a graded switch for memory formations, enhanced signal detection by NMDA receptors should enhance learning ability and memory. It was shown that NR2B was increased in the forebrains of oriental medicine-administrated mice, leading to enhanced activation of NMDA receptors and facilitating synaptic potentiation in response to stimulation at 10-100 Hz. These HWE-SHT treated mice exhibited that superior ability in learning and memory when performing various behavioral tasks, showing that NR2B is enhanced by HWE-SHT treatment and also is critical in gating the age-dependent threshold for plasticity and memory formation. NMDA receptor-dependent modifications, which were mediated in part by HWE administration, of synaptic efficacy, therefore, represent a mechanism for associative learning ability and memory. Results suggest that oriental medical enhancement of NR2B contributes to increase intelligence and memory in mammals On the other hand, to examine the effects of EE-SHT on the learning ability and memory in experimental mice, EE-SHT was tested on passive and active avoidance responses. The EE-SHT ameliorated the memory retrieval deficit induced by ethanol in mice, but not other memory impairments. EE-SHT(10, 20mg/100 g, p.o.) did not affect the passive avoidance responses of normal mice in the step through and step down tests, the conditioned and unconditioned avoidance responses of normal mice in the shuttle box, lever press performance tests and the ambulatory activity of normal mice in a normal condition. However, EE-SHT at 20 mg/kg significantly decrease the spontaneous motor activity during the shuttle box test, and also to extend the sleeping time induced by pentobarbital in mice. These results suggest that SHT has an ameliorating effect on memory retrieval impairments and a weak tranquilizing action.
