Dengropanax morfiferus (D), Broussonitia kazinoki (B), and Cudriania tricuspidata (E), a widely cultivated species in South Korea, has been used as traditional medicine to treat numerous diseases. In this study, we evaluated the antidiabetic effects in a various signaling mechanisms using mixed extract and major component contents were analyzed by HPLC in the combined extracts from Dengropanax morfiferus, Broussonitia kazinoki, and Cudriania tricuspidata (DBCE). DBCE inhibited ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase activation and showed potent antioxidant effects, which are evaluated using DPPH, ABTS, and SOD assay. Cytokines, which are released by inflammatory cells in pancreatic islets, are involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. DBCE showed the protective effects in RINm5F cells against cytokines-induced damage by suppressing inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase and COX-2 expression and NO production. Insulin resistance is the primary characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the regulatory effect of DBCE on glucose uptake and production are investigated in insulin-responsive human HepG2 cells. DBCE stimulated glucose uptake, prevented Glut2 and phosphor-IRS1 downregulation induced by high glucose (HG, 30 mM). Moreover, DBCE pretreatment diminished glucose levels, PEPCK and G6Pase overexpression provoked by HG. These findings suggest that DBCE might be used for diabetes treatment through alpha-glucosidase or alpha-amylase activity regulation, pancreatic beta cell protection, hepatic glucose sensitivity improvement. Cytokines, which are released by inflammatory cells' infiltrations around the pancreatic islets, are involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

An HPLC analysis method was developed for standard determination of marmesin as a functional health material in Broussonetia kazinoki extract. HPLC was performed on a $C_{18}$ Kromasil column ($4.6{\times}250mm$, $5{\mu}m$) with a gradient elution of 0.1% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min at $30^{\circ}C$. The analyte was detected at 330 nm. The HPLC method was validated in accordance with International Conference on Harmonization guidelines for analytical procedures with respect to specificity, precision, accuracy, and linearity. The limit of detection and quantitation were 6.2 and $18.6{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Calibration curves showed good linearity ($r^2$>0.9999), and the precision of analysis was satisfactory (less than 0.3%). Recoveries of quantified compound ranged from 100.35 to 101.18%. This result indicates that the established HPLC method is very useful for the determination of marker compounds in B. kazinoki extracts.

뽕나무과(Moraceae) 닥나무속(Broussonetia)의 품종에 대한 국내 연구동향으로는 잎의 성상이나 암꽃의 포길이, 엽신의 폭과 같은 수목학 분수학적 관점으로 특징을 파악하기 때문에 구분이 어려운 실정이다. 또한 닥나무(Broussonetia kazinoki Siebold)와 꾸지나무[Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) $L^{\prime}H{\acute{e}}r.$ ex Vent.]의 수목학적 특징이 유사하여 오동정의 사례가 발생하기도 한다. 닥나무의 향명은 다양하게 불리지만 그 분류기준은 명확하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 총 4개 마커(ITS, matK, trnL-F, ndhF)의 염기서열 분석과 분자계통학적 분류를 통해 닥나무와 꾸지나무의 교잡종으로 확인된 전라도지역 닥나무 8개체에 대하여 펄프제지 자원으로써의 특성을 확인하였다. 8개체 인피섬유의 형태학적 특징인 섬유장, 섬유폭, 섬유 내강(Lumen)폭을 통해 Runkel ratio, Slenderness ratio, Flexibility coefficient, Rigidity coefficient를 도출하고 종이의 기계적 강도, 내절도와의 상관관계, 섬유와 섬유간의 결합력 등을 예측하였다. 상기와 같은 연구결과는 유전형질이 동일한 전라도지역 닥나무의 형태학적 특성을 통해 펄프제지 공정에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 인자들을 분석 하였다. 이러한 특성에 따라 다양한 품질의 종이를 제조 할 수 있는 기초 자료로 제공될 것이다.

닥나무(Paper mulberry)는 뽕나무과(Moraceae) 닥나무속(Broussonetia)에 속하는 낙엽 활엽 관목으로 중국, 일본, 한국 등에 자생하며 Hutchinson(1967)에 의하면 닥나무 속은 열대, 아열대, 난대지방에서 자라는 낙엽성 관목으로 세계적으로 약 6종이 있다고 보고되었다. 일반적으로 닥나무의 품종을 구분하는 것은 수목학적 관점으로 잎의 성상, 줄기의 색과 무늬 유무로 구분한다. 그러나 상기의 수목학적 특징은 닥나무(Broussonetia kazinoki Siebold)와 꾸지나무[Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) L'Her. ex Vent.]가 유사하여 오동정의 사례가 발생하기도 한다. 경상도지역에서는 닥나무를 참닥나무, 머구닥나무, 개닥나무 3가지의 향명으로 구분하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경상도지역 9개체 닥나무를 대상으로 수목학적 특징을 확인하였다. 나아가 식물종의 기준을 명확히 규명하기 위하여 엽록체 속의 matK, trnL-F, ndhF, 3개 마커와 핵에 존재하는 ITS, 총 4개 마커의 염기서열을 생산하였고 상기 구간에서 얻어진 염기서열 비교분석 및 계통학적 분류를 통해 유연관계를 파악하였다. 수목학적 관점으로는 품종을 명확하게 구분하기가 어려웠으며 분자계통학적 연구로 모든 시료는 닥나무와 꾸지나무의 교잡종으로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과는 우리나라 전통한지의 원재료로 사용되는 닥나무류 식물자원의 분류체계의 확립을 위한 기초자료로 활용 될 것이다.

In this paper, the stability criteria of cosmeceuticals emulsion containing Broussonetia kazinoki extracts was established using the central composite design model. As optimization conditions of the emulsification using the central composite design model, concentrations of the emulsifier and emulsion stabilizer were used as a quantitative factor while emulsion stability index (ESI) and polydispersity index (PDI) were used as a reaction value. The targeted values of ESI and PDI were estimated as over 60% and the minimum number, respectively. Optimized concentrations of the emulsifier and emulsion stabilizer were 3.73 and 3.07 wt%, respectively, from the emulsification optimization based on ESI and PDI values. The estimated reaction values of ESI and PDI were 60% and 0.585, respectively. As concentrations of the emulsifier and emulsion stabilizer increased, the stability of the emulsion prepared tended to increase. The emulsifier was one of the most influential factors for ESI than the emulsion stabilizer. On the other hand, the PDI value was similarly affected by both the emulsion and emulsion stabilizer. The ESI of the cosmeceuticals emulsion prepared under experimental conditions deduced from the central synthesis planning model showed at least about 45% of the stability. However, all of the emulsions were separated after 4 weeks from the initial preparation. When the concentration of the emulsifier was more than 3.72 wt%, the ESI value was over 60%. Also the layer separation rate decreased with increasing the emulsion stabilizer concentration.

The annals of Joseon Dynasty is the most valuable resource containing the record of Korean history and has been known as one of the UNESCO's Memory of the World Register. There was a period that the annals of Joseon Dynasty was used with beeswax to control pests. It is considered as the prior reason of damage on the annals of Joseon Dynasty. Therefore, in this study we analysed the spectrum of traditional paper inside and outside of Korea, beeswax and accelerated artificial aging paper to restore the waxed volume in the annals of Joseon Dynasty by using FT-IR. As a result of FT-IR analysis, spectrum did not showed its big difference in all paper used in this study. However, there was a different spectrum in paper which was made with not Broussonetia kazinoki, but Echinochloa crus-galli var. frumentacea and Dioscorea batatas. Among traditional papers in various countries, spectrum of Korean paper showed the most similarity from the annals of Joseon Dynasty. In comparison between accelerated artificial aging paper and waxed volume, we could identify the change of spectrum affected by the damage.

The anticancer effect of the bark of Broussonetia kazinoki root extracts (hexane. chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol, aqueous) were studied. The cytotoxicity by MTT assay and inhibitory effect on the growth of sarcoma 180 cells were tested in vitro. The reduction rate of the tumor formation and spleen/body weight rate on BALB/c mouse were tested in vivo. From the tests, each fraction showed the cytotoxic effect against the sarcoma 180 cells. In addition, as the concentration of the fractions increased, cytotoxic effect tendency increased as well. The cytotoxic rate of the hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol and aqueous fractions showed by 58.7%, 40.1%, 75.7%, 52.6% and 62.7% respectively after testing by MTT assay system. And sarcoma 180 cells were incubated for 6 days at 37$^{\circ}C$ with various concentrations of each fraction. As the incubation days go on, the number of cells increased, while the inhibition rate on the growth of sarcoma 180 cells were decreased. Especially the ethylacetate fraction at the concentration of 1.0 mg/ml strongly inhibited the growth of sarcoma 180 cells by 74% compared with the control for a day 37$^{\circ}C$ The hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol and aqueous fractions inhibited on the growth of sarcoma 180 cells by 31%, 19%, 60%, 30% and 42% respectively, when sarcoma 180 cells has been incubated for 6 days at 37$^{\circ}C$. The each fraction exhibited the antitumor effect in vivo. The ethylacetate fraction reduced the tumor formation by 41% compared with the control, when sarcoma 180 cells were injected subcutaneously into the left groin of BALB/c mice. Also spleen/body weight rate of ethylacetate fraction was increased by 2.10% compared with the control (1.08%). And it is considered that there would be no toxic effect caused by each fraction of body weight and organ as there was on more changes in mouse' weight compared with the control.
