To screen the effective materials for hair loss treatment, several natural extracts were tested using in vivo and in vitro test models. Firstly, all test materials were applicated onto the back skin of C57BL／6 mouse and then hair growth pormoting effect were measured using hair growth index As a result, Polygonum muitifiorum Thunb and Terrninalia chebula Retz. showed potent hair growth promoting effect, ranking as 1.5-2.0 of hair growth index. However, there were no plant extracts, which have remarkable potential of growth promotion of human hair dermal papilla cells cultured in vitro. In the experiments of 5${\alpha}$-reductase type Ⅱ inhibition assay, Morus alba L., Chaenomelis Fructus, Saussureae Radix, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Polygonum multifiorum Thunb, and Angelica dahurica (Fischer) Bentham et Hooker f. showed effective potential to inhibit the activity of 5${\alpha}$-reductase type Ⅱ. To investigate the possible involvement of effects of several plant extracts on the gene expression of growth factors in human hair dermal papilla cells, RT-PCR analyses were performed. As a consequences, Mentha haplocalyx Briq., Cimicifuga foetida L., Eclipta prostrata (L.) L., Pinus densiflora S. et. Z, and Polygonum muitifiorum Thunb revealed the regulatory roles on the expression of growth factors such as IGF-I, KGF, HGF and VEGF in the dermal papilla cells. Another test for inhibition of microbial such as P. acne and P. ovale were also carried out to find whether these plant extracts have anti-microbial activities. Morus alba L. and Chaenomelis Fructus showed anti-microbial effects on Propionibacterium acnes, which is believed as a pathogen of acne. Together, these results showed several plant extracts can be used for hair growth promotion.

백지는 산형과(Umbelliferae)에 속하는 구릿대(Angelica dahurica)의 뿌리를 건조한 것으로, 다양한 약리작용을 하는 것으로 알려져 예로부터 한약재로 사용되어 왔다. 백지의 대표적인 활성 성분인 coumarin을 포함하여 다양한 성분이 알려져 있으며, 최근 백지의 다양한 생리활성이 보고되고 있다. 본 연구는 백지를 건강기능식품의 기능성 원료로 활용하고자, 백지의 지표성분 설정 및 이에 대한 UPLC 분석법을 확립하여 분석법 유효성 검증을 실시하였다. 백지의 지표성분으로는 oxypeucedanin hydrate, byakangelicol, oxypeucedanin, imperatoin, phellopterin, isoimperatorin의6종을 설정하였다. 분석법 유효성 검증은 특이성, 직선성, 검출한계, 정량한계, 정확성, 정밀성 등의 항목을 이용하여 확인하였다. 본 시험법에서 지표성분 6종은 서로 간섭없이 분리되어 특이성을 확인하였고, 결정계수의 값도 0.999 이상으로 나타나 높은 직선성을 나타내었다. 분석법 유효성 검증 결과, 지표 성분 6종의 RSD는 5% 이하로 나타났으며 90-110%의 범위의 회수율을 나타내 높은 정확성과 정밀성이 있는 것을 확인할 수있었다. 이러한 결과는 UPLC를 이용한 백지의 지표성분 분석법이, 새롭게 제시한 6종에 대해 적합한 동시분석 분석법임을 나타낸다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통하여 확립된 백지의 지표성분 분석법이 향후 백지(구릿대)의 건강기능식품 기능성 원료 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

The composition of Hwoangbaec-tang has been traditionally used in Korea to treat cancer. Hwoangbaec-tang I is the water extracts prepared from Angelica dahurica, Fritillariae verticillata, Ailanthus altissima, Viscum coloratun, Scutellaria Radix, Ginseng Radix, Astragalus membranaceus, and Glycyrrhizae Radix. Hwoangbaec-tang II also is the water extracts prepared from Ginseng Radix, Astragalus membranaceus, and Glycyrrhizae Radix. The anti-leukemic effects of human promyelocytic leukaemia (HL-60 cells) by Hwoangbaec-tang I or II was accessed by propidium iodide staining flow cytometric analysis, and apoptosis-inducing activity was further confirmed by a nuclear morphological change, a ladder pattern of DNA fragmentation, and an activation of caspase-3 and 9. Hwoangbaec-tang I was found to induce the apoptosis of HL-60 cells via caspase-3 and 9 pathway. In the other side, Hwoangbaec-tang II was found to inhibit the growth of HL-60 cells by inducing these cells to differentiate toward granulocytes. These results indicate that the different anti-leukemic effects of Hwoangbaec-tang in HL-60 cells can be induce the apoptosis or differnetiation of HL-60 cells in Hwoangbaec-tang composition dependent manner.

본 연구는 근생성 효능을 가진 천연화합물을 발굴하고자 oxypeucedanin hydrate가 근생성과 미토콘드리아에 미치는 영향 및 항암제 유도 미토콘드리아 손상에 대한 완화효과를 C2C12 근원세포와 zebrafish 모델을 통해 각각 확인하였다. 그 결과, oxypeucedanin hydrate는 다핵의 근관세포의 수와 분화말기 표지자인 Myh4의 발현량을 증가시켰고 근육단백질 분해 인자인 MuRF1과 MAFbx의 발현량은 감소시켰다. 또한 미토콘드리아 생합성 조절인자인 Pgc1α, Tfam과 전자전달계 구성인자인 Sdha, Cox1의 발현은 증가시키고, 미토콘드리아 융합인자인 Opa1의 발현 또한 증가시킴과 동시에 미토콘드리아 분열을 표지하는 Drp1의 발현은 감소시켰다. 한편 zebrafish 모델을 통해 항암제 유도 미토콘드리아 손상에 대한 개선효과를 확인한 결과, oxypeucedanin hydrate는 항암제에 의해 유도된 미토콘드리아 손상을 완화시켰다. 이상의 결과들은 oxypeucedanin hydrate가 미토콘드리아 기능 증진을 매개로 근원세포 분화 촉진 및 근육 단백질 분해 저하 효과를 나타냄을 시사한다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 oxypeucedanin hydrate가 근생성 효과를 나타낼 수 있는 잠재적인 유효소재로서의 가능성을 제시하였다.

Subjects : We tried to analysis dermatosurgical prescriptions including 477 WonBang(元方) prescriptions for SangJungHaTong(上中下統) introduced by HwangDoYeon(黃道淵). Methods : Prescriptions in BangYakHapPyun(方藥合編) is generally categorized into SangTong(上統), JungTong(中統), HaTong(下統) which are called PoJe(補劑), HwaJe(和劑), KongJe(功劑) respectively. This study classified and analyzed major diseases and symptoms appeared in dermatosurgical prescription and composition of medicine, as well as in BangYakHapPyun(方藥合編). Results and conclusions : The results of examining dermatosurgical prescriptions in WonBang(元方) of SangJungHaTong(上中下統) in BangYakHapPyun(方藥合編) are as follows; 1. The proportion of dematosurgical prescriptions was SangTong(上統) $\frac{10}{126}$(7.9$\%$). JungTong(中統) $\frac{22}{181}$(12.1$\%$), and HaTong(下統) $\frac{16}{163}$(9.8$\%$), which means that JungTong(中統)(HwaJe 和劑) takes up relatively the largest portion. 2. As for SangTong(上統), upper level herbs used in medicine are Glycyrrhiza uralensis(甘草), Paeonia japonica(白芍藥), Angelica gigas(當歸). Astragalus membranaceus(황기). Ginseng(人蔘), Poria cocos(복령), Atractylodis macrocephalae rhizoma(白朮). Cinnamon(肉桂), Rehmaniniae radix preparat(熱地黃). And these herbs are the components of Sipjundaebo-tang(十全大補湯), one of the most well-known medicine for weak energy and blood(補氣血). 3. As for JungTong(中統), in addition to medicine for weak energy and blood. Ledebouriella seseloides(防風) that removes ill elements on skin surface and Pung(風) called "wind". Limonium tetragonum(桔梗) that eliminates discharges and sputum, Angelica dahurica(白芷) that removes discharge and suppress tumor are applied. Other herbs are Ostericum koreanum(羌活). Skullcap(황령),Schizonepeta tenuifolia(荊芥), Aurantii fructus(地殼), Cimicifuga heracleifolia(升麻), Bupleurum falcatum(柴胡), Lonicerae flos(金銀花). These herbs are more effective for wind-calming treatment. cooling down fever, clearing skin irritation, detoxication. removal of tumor and discharge than replenishing energy and blood. 4. As for HaTong(下統), Angelica gigas(當歸) and Ledebouriella seseloides(防風), the two major herbs for SangTong(上統) and JungTong(中統), are mostly used. In addition, Skullcap(黃芩), Gardenia jasminoides(梔子), Eisenia bicyclis(大黃) are other major components and their key efficacy is to lower fever and KongHa(功下). 5. Herbs applied for SangTong(上統), JungTong(中統), and HaTong(下統) in large quantity are Glycyrrhiza uralensis(甘草) that harmoniously combine different herbal elements and Poria cocos(복령) that discharges humidity and watery elements out of body, removes humid and hot elements, and strengthen gastrointestinal system. Based on this, it is inferred that prescriptions for this study focus largely on treatment of humid and hot elements. In the composition of this prescription, Angelica gigas(當歸), Paeonia japonica(白芍藥), and Cnidium officinale(川芎) are taking up relatively large proportion, which are basic herbs for Samul-tang(四物湯). Therefore, it is incurred here that the concept of "replenishing blood" bears importance in dermatosurgical treatment. 6. As for herb medicines used for more than two types of prescriptions of SangTong(上統), JungTong(中統), and HaTong(下統), most of them are simultaneously used for SangTong(上統) and JungTong(中統), or for JungTong(中統), and HaTong(下統) except for Atractylodis macrocephalae rhizoma(白朮) and Gleditsia sinensis(조각자). This finding implies that prescription or treatment that are simultaneously applied are replenishing and harmonizing, or harmonizing and attacking while replenishing and attacking never go together.
