Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of extract Asarum sieboldii(AS) on the peritoneal macrophage. Methods : To evaluate of anti-inflammatory of AS, we examined cytokines production in lipopolysacchride (LPS)-induced macrophages. Furthermore, we checked molecular mechanism using western blot. Results : 1. Extract from AS reduced LPS-induced Nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-12 production in peritoneal macrophages 2. Extract from AS itself does not have any cytotoxic effect. AS inhibited the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) such as p38, extracelluar signal-regulated kinase B a (IkBa) in the LPS-stimulated peritoneal macrophages Conclusion : AS down-regulated LPS-induced NO and cytokines production, which could provide a clinical basis for anti-inflammatory properties of AS

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone response to anodized titanium implants coated with the extract of black cohosh, Asarum Sieboldii, and pharbitis semen. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty anodized titanium implants were prepared as follows: group 1 was for control; group 2 were implants soaked in a solution containing triterpenoids extracted from black cohosh for 24 hours; group 3 were implants soaked in a solution containing extracts of black cohosh and Asarum Sieboldii for 24 hours; group 4 were implants soaked in a solution containing extracts of pharbitis semen for 24 hours. The implants from these groups were randomly and surgically implanted into the tibiae of ten rabbits. After 1, 2, and 4 weeks of healing, the nondecalcified ground sections were subjected to histological observation, and the percentage of bone-to-implant contact (BIC%) was calculated. RESULTS. All groups exhibited good bone healing with the bone tissue in direct contact with the surface of the implant. Group 2 ($52.44{\pm}10.98$, $25.54{\pm}5.56$) showed a significantly greater BIC% compared to that of group 3 ($45.34{\pm}5.00$, $22.24{\pm}2.20$) with respect to the four consecutive threads and total length, respectively. The BIC% of group 1 ($25.22{\pm}6.00$) was significantly greater than that of group 3 ($22.24{\pm}2.20$) only for total length. CONCLUSION. This study did not show any remarkable effects of the extract of black coshosh and the other natural products on osseointegration of anodized titanium implants as coating agents. Further studies about the application method of the natural products on to the surface of implants are required.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the asthma-suppressive and immuno-regulatory effect of AHCR-HA (Root of Asarum sieboldii Miq. water extract) on OVA (ovalbumin)-induced asthma in mice. Methods : All C57BL/6 mice experimental groups, except the Normal and N-AHCR groups, were sensitized with OVA. The mice in the N-AHCR group and the OVA-AHCR group were treated with water extract of AHCR (1 %) by an oral administration, and the OVA-Saline group were treated with saline solution. Oral dosesof AHCR water extract and saline were administered for 8 weeks, three times a week. Results & Conclusion : The lung weight and total cells in the lungs of the OVA-AHCR group decreased significantly compared with those of the OVA-Saline group. Total leukocytes and eosinophils in BALF and photomicrographs of the OVA-AHCR group decreased significantly compared with those of the OVA-Saline group. The collagen accumulation in the lung sections of the OVA-AHCR group decreased significantly compared with those of the OVA-Saline group. The concentrations of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and IgE in BALF and the serum of the OVA-AHCR group decreased significantly compared with those of the OVA-Saline group. The mRNA expressions of $TNF-{\alpha}$, $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 in the lungs of the OVA-AHCR group decreased significantly compared with those of the OVA-Saline group.

Background: Asarum sieboldii Miq., a species of forest understory vegetation, is an herbaceous perennial belonging to the family Aristolochiaceae. The metapopulation of A. sieboldii is distributed sparsely and has a short seed dispersal distance by ants as their seed distributor. It is known that many flowers of A. sieboldii depend on self-fertilization. Because these characteristics can affect negatively in genetic structure, investigating habitat structure and assessment of genetic structure is needed. A total of 27 individuals in a valley were sampled for measuring genetic diversity, genetic distance, and genetic differentiation by RAPDPCR. Results: The habitat areas of A. sieboldii metapopulation were relatively small (3.78~33.60 m²) and population density was very low (five to seven individuals in 20×20 m quadrat). The habitat of A. sieboldii was a very shady (relative light intensity = 0.9%) and mature forest with a high evenness value (J = 0.81~0.99) and a low dominance value (D = 0.19~0.28). The total genetic diversity of A. sieboldii was quite high (h = 0.338, I = 0.506). A total of 33 band loci were observed in five selected primers, and 31 band loci (94%) were polymorphic. However, genetic differentiation along the valley was highly progressed (G_st = 0.548, N_m = 0.412). The average genetic distance between subpopulations was 0.387. The results of AMOVA showed 52.77% of variance occurs among populations, which is evidence of population structuring. Conclusions: It is expected that a small-scale founder effect had occurred, an individual spread far from the original subpopulation formed a new subpopulation. However, geographical distance between individuals would have been far and genetic flow occurred only within each subpopulation because of the low density of population. This made significant genetic distance between the original and new population by distance. Although genetic diversity of A. sieboldii metapopulation is not as low as concerned, the subpopulation of A. sieboldii can disappear by stochastic events due to small subpopulation size and low density of population. To prevent genetic isolation and to enhance the stable population size, conservative efforts such as increasing the size of each subpopulation or the connection between subpopulations are needed.

치아우식 예방제를 개발하기 위해 천연물인 세신을 메탄올, 물로 추출하여 S. mutans의 성장과 산 생성 억제, S-HA에 부착 억제, 비수용성 글루칸 합성 효과를 측정하고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. S. mutans의 성장억제율이 세신 추출물은 넣지 않은 대조군에 비해 10, 100, 1,000, 2,000 μg/ml 농도에서 메탄올 추출물은 각각 9%, 14%, 34%, 53%, 물추출물은 4%, 8%, 17%, 21%를 나타내어, 100 μg/ml이상 농도에서 S. mutans의 성장억제 효과가 유의적으로 있었고(p<0.01), S. mutans의 산 생성량은 대조군에 pH는 3.76, 메탄올 추출물은 10, 100, 1,000, 2,000 μg/ml 농도에서 각각 3.91, 4.21, 4.74, 5.36, 물 추출물은 3.75, 3.97, 4.66, 5.15를 나타내어, 100μg/ml 이상 농도에서 S. mutans의 산 생성억제 효과가 유의적으로 있었다(p<0.05). 또 S-HA에 S. mutans 부착 억제율이 대조군에 비해 메탄올 추출물은 10, 100, 1,000, 2,000 μg/ml 농도에서 각각 56%, 61%, 63%, 96%, 물 추출물은 51%, 74%, 81%, 98%로 부착억제 효과가 유의적으로 있었으며(p<0.05), 10μg/ml 농도에서도 50% 이상의 S. mutans의 hydroxyapatite bead 부착억제 효과가 있었고, GTFase에 의한 비수용성 글루칸 정량 실험을 한 결과 대조군에 비해 메탄올 추출물은 10, 100, 1,000, 2,000 g/ml 농도에서 각각 4%, 18%, 75%, 99%, 물 추출물은 8%, 32%, 73%, 99%의 합성억제 효과가 있었고(p<0.05), 2,000 μg/ml 농도에서는 비수용성 글루칸 합성이 거의 이루어지지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 하여 볼 때, 세신은 S. mutans의 살균 작용과 유기산의 생성 억제 보다는, S. mutans의 치아표면에의 부착과 비수용성 글루칸 합성 억제에 관여하여, 항치아우식 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
