Peripheral nerve injuries are a commonly encountered clinical problem and often result in chronic pain and severe functional deficits. At the Dept. of Oriental Rehab. Medicine, we have used for pain control a herbal bath containing the following herbs: Harpagophytum radix, Atractylodes japonica and Corydalis tuber. In the present study, we investigated the effects of this herbal bath on the recovery rate of the locomotor function and the expression of c-Fos in the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vIPAG) region of the brain following sciatic crushed nerve injury in rats. In the present study, characteristic gait change with decreasing of the sciatic function index (SFI) was observed and c-Fos expression in the vIPAG was suppressed following sciatic crushed nerve injury in rats. Immersion into herbal bath enhanced SFI value and restored c-Fos expression in the vIPAG to the control value. These results suggest the herbal bath might activate neurons in the vIPAG, and could facilitate functional recovery from peripheral nerve injury.

Objectives : The present study was undertaken to evaluate whether Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba ethanol (ARA-E) extract, which is the pericarp of $Atractylodes$ $japonica$ Koidz. has an effect on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice. Methods : Male DBA/1J mice were induced by intradermal injection of bovine collagen-II in Freund's incomplete adjuvant (IFA). The CIA mice in the onset of arthritis were treated daily with oral administration of ARA-E extract at dose of 50 mg/kg/bw for 28 days. Arthritis index, histopathological changes and the levels of anti-type II collagen (CII) IgG and inflammatory cytokine, TNF-${\alpha}$ in sera of mice were measured to evaluate the antiarthritic effect of ARA-E. Results : ARA-E extract significantly decreased the arthritic scores and inhibited pathological changes of knee joint tissues in CIA mice. ARA-E extract also significantly decreased the serum levels of anti-CII IgG and TNF-${\alpha}$ in CIA mice. These results indicate that ARA-E extract may effectively prevent arthritic damages in CIA mice, at least partially, by inhibiting the production of autoantibodies and inflammatory cytokine. Conclusions : This studies suggest that ARA-E has a therapeutic potential in inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

In order to search for potential antidotes for T-2 toxin poisoning, seven Chinese herbal drug extracts and five natural constituents were tested on mice intoxicated with T-2 toxin. When extracts of Panax ginseng and Atractylodes japonica (500 mg/kg) were administered p.o. once 3 hrs before and once 1 hr after T-2 toxin treatment, a 30% complete survival rate was noted. In case of Paeonia albiflora var. typica, a 30% complete survival rate was also produced at a dose of 250 mg/kg. Other extracts, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Rehmannia glutinosa and Plantago asiatica exhibited no significant protection from the T-2 toxin poisoning. A nucleoside, thymidine showed protective activity against T-2 toxin toxicity and it produced a 40% complete survival rate when administered i.p. once 0.5 hr after T-2 toxin treatment. Other natural constituents, aucubin, vitamin C and E, and lipoic acid did not show any significant protective activities.

본 연구는 생약의 추출분획 용매 중 헥산추출에 따른 우식원인균의 억제효과와 배양시간 경과에 따른 항균력을 시간별로 비교 검토함으로써 치아우식예방제재로서의 가능성을 살펴보고자 헥산 분획에 의한 생약추출물 11종을 대상으로 우식원인균인 S. sobrinus B13를 사용하여 항균활성을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 생약 추출물에 S. sobrinus를 접종한 직후, 6, 12, 24시간 후의 항균효과를 측정해 보았을 때, 단삼이 가장 좋은 항균효과를 나타냈고, 그 다음으로 향부자와 목향, 백출 순으로 나타났다.

To identify potential gastrointestinal prokinetic agents, water and 70% ethanol extracts and isolated compounds from 41 different traditional medicinal herbs were evaluated for the stimulation of gastrointestinal (GI) motility in vivo. Of the 41 water and 70% ethanol extracts, 12 extracts were found to enhance GI motility activity in mice by more than 10%. The 12 extracts are as follows: Atractylodes japonica (root), Crataegus pinnatifida (flower), Aucklandia lappa (root), Inula helenium (root), Cynanchum wilfordii (root), Chinese Liriope platyphylla (root), Codonopsis pilosula (root), Glehnia littoralis (root), Pinellia ternate (tuber), Agastache rugosa (aerial part), Angelica decursiva (whole plant), and Peucedanum praeruptorum (whole plant). In particular, the extracts from Atractylodes japonica (root), Cynanchum wilfordii (root) and Angelica decursiva (whole plant) have demonstrated the highest GI motility activity. In addition, 26 isolated compounds from the medicinal herbs were tested, and 8 isolated compounds were found to be active. They are ${\alpha}$-ionone, ${\beta}$-ionone, trans-caryophyllene, cedrol, methyl-3,5-di-O-E-caffeoyl-quinate, lobetyolin, oleoyllinoleoylolein and cis-jasmone. ${\beta}$-ionone from Aucklandia lappa (root) showed the most potent GI motility activity. The active traditional medicinal herbs and isolated compounds might be therapeutically advantageous in the treatment of GI motility disorders.

재배 생력용으로 많이 이용되고 있는 멀칭 방법이 삽주의 생육에 미치는 효과를 구명하여 최적 멀칭방법을 확립하고자 무멀칭, 볏짚, 투명비닐, 흑색비닐, 이들 비닐과 왕겨를 혼용한 멀칭이 삽주의 어린싹, 초기 및 후기 생장과 수량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였던 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 삽주의 어린싹 무게는 투명 비닐을 이용한 멀칭에서 가장 많았던 반면, 어린싹과 관련된 형질중에서는 엽수, 어린싹의 길이는 볏짚을 이용한 멀칭에서 가장 작았다. 2. 생장초기에는 볏짚을 이용한 멀칭시 엽수, 근수, 경수, 엽폭, 지상부 및 근경의 생체중이 가장 적었던 반면, 왕겨와 흑색비닐 혼합멀칭시 뿌리 관련 형질인 근수, 근경중 및 근중이 가장 많았다. 3. 생장후기에는 지온이 낮았던 생장초기의 멀칭효과가 고온기를 경과하면서 그 효과가 사라져 생장 및 형태적 형질에서는 멀칭처리간 차이가 거의 없었다. 4. 단위면적당 수량과 상품 수량은 볏짚 단독멀칭과 왕겨와 흑색비닐의 혼합멀칭 에서 가장 높았다.

Lonicera japonica 에탄올 추출물의 처리에 의하여 LPS에 의해서 활성화된 RAW 264.7 세포에서 NO의 생성량과 TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$ 및 IL-6와 같은 염증성 사이토카인의 분비를 억제하였고, MAPK family인 ERK, p38 및 JNK의 인산화와 $I{\kappa}-B{\alpha}$의 분해를 억제하였다. LPS로 유도한 endotoxin shock 동물실험에서 Lonicera japonica 에탄올 추출물 20 mg/kg에서 LPS로 유도한 endotoxin shock에 대한 생존율을 3배 이상 증가시켰으며, 생존시간도 1.3~1.4배 증가시켰다.

The result is the followings after investigating composition, dosage and usage of Sagunjatang(四君子湯), Samultang(四物湯), Palmultang(八物湯), Sipjeondaebotang(十全大補湯) in literature by country and Era 1. Sagunjatang has become equal to Panax ginseng(人蔘), Atractylodes japonica(白朮), Poria cocos(복령) each for 2 Jeon(錢), Glycyrrhiza uralensis(甘草) 1 jeon since the Ming Dynasty in China and it is standardized by Panax ginseng, Atractylodes japonica, Poria cocos and Glycyrrhiza uralensis each for 1 Jeon 2 Pun(分) 5 Ri(里) since Dongeuibogam in Korea. 2. Samultang has become equal to Angelica gigas(當歸) and Rehmannia glutinosa(地黃) each three Jeon, Cnidium officinale(川芎) is 1 Jeon 2 Pun or 1 jeon and Paeonia lactiflora(芎藥) 2 Jeon since the Ming Dynasty in China and it is standardized by Angelica gigas, Cnidium officinale, Paeonia lactiflora and Rehmannia glutinosa each for 1 Jeon 2 Pun 5 Ri since Dongeuibogam in Korea. 3. In the case of Palmultang, compositional usage of medicine was different in the Ming Dynastry and the Ching(靑) Dynastry in China. Total dosage was increased and ratio of Angelica gigas and Rehmannia glutinosa was increased comparatively in the Ching Dynasty. All prescription of medicine was consisted of 1 Jeon 2 Pun and specific dosage was presented except Euirimchwalyo(醫林撮要) that dosage was not recorded in Korea. 4. Sipjeondaebotang tended to increase total dosage in the latter part in China. Dosage was mostly used 1 Jeon thus Dongeuibogam but Bangyakhap(方藥合編) used 1 Jeon 5 Pun differentially.
