Objective : The aim of this study is to determine the effects of Dendrobii herba extract and Punica granatum extract on skin disease and skin beauty. Methods : To investigate in vitro anti-oxidant activity assay, ethanol extracts of medicinal plants tested by DPPH radical, xanthine oxidase activity. In the next experiment, to investigate anti-inflammatory activity assay, examined by relations in NO synthesis, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$, NF-${\kappa}B$, COX-2, MAP kinase. To study Skin wrinkle formation effect, we were examined by tyrosinase activities, melanin synthesis in MNT-1 cell. Results : 1. In an anti-oxidant test, Dendrobii and Punica granatum extract showed high radical scavenging activity. 2. In an anti-inflammatory test, Dendrobii herba and Punica granatum extract weakly inhibited the lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced nitric oxide(NO) release from RAW 246.7 macrophage cells. Dendrobii herba and Punica granatum extract also inhibited LPS-induced IL-$1{\beta}$ and COX-2 expressions. The inhibitory effect of Dendrobii herba and Punica granatum extract on macrophage activation were via the inhibition of NF-${\kappa}B$, evidenced by transient transfection assay. however, Dendrobii herba and Punica granatum extract did not have any effects about activation of Jun-N-terminal kinase(JNK) and inhibition of p38 MAP kinase in RAW 264.7 cells. 3. In the skin wrinkle formation assay, Dendrobii herba and Punica granatum extract weakly inhibited collagenase and elastase, however it was not statistically significant. 4. In the skin whitening assay, Dendrobii herba and Punica granatum extract weakly inhibited tyrosinase activity, however, it was not statistically significant. They did not have any effect on melanin synthesis, indicating that they could not be applicable for skin whitening. Conclusion : Dendrobii herba extract and Punica granatum extract may play a significant role in skin disease and skin beauty.

Objectives : This study was carried out to determine if Dendrobii Herba have protective effect against cell injury induced by various toxic agents in rat kidney slices. Water(DWe) and methanol(DMe) extracts were prepared for this experiment. Methods : Cell injury was estimated by measuring lactate dehydrogenase(LDH). Lipid peroxidation was examined by measuring malondialdehyde, a product of lipid peroxidation. Results : DMe prevented the LDH release by $CCl_4$, menadione, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and mercury treatment in vitro in kidney slices, but DWe prevented the LDH release by $CCl_4$ and mercury. DMe also prevented reduction in GSH and lipid peroxidation induced by $CCl_4$ and mercury. Conclusion : Thus, DMe may have more powerful efficacy on anti-oxidative effects when compared with DWe. And further studies have to be followed concerned with extraction of Dendrobii Herba and its change of effects.

난초과의 석곡(石斛; Dendrobii herba) 에탄올 추출물(EED)의 항당뇨 활성 및 항당뇨 기전을 조사하였다. 스트렙토 조 토신에 의해 유도된 당뇨병 마우스에서 EED를 하루 4회 경구 투여하여 공복 혈당, 당화혈색소 수치, 인슐린 수치 및 글루탐산 옥살 아세트산 트랜스 아미나 아제 및 글루탐산 피루브산 트랜스 아미나 아제의 간 기능을 감소시키는 실험연구를 통해 그 약리적 기전을 밝혀내고자 했다. EED는 L6 근육 세포에서 세포 내 포도당 섭취뿐만 아니라 RINm5F 베타 세포에서 포도당에 의한 인슐린 분비를 증가시켰다. 따라서 EED는 인슐린 분비를 증가시킬 뿐만 아니라 세포 당 흡수를 증가시킴으로써 항당뇨병 활성을 나타내는데 커다란 가능성을 보여주었으며, 향후 석곡(石斛; Dendrobii herba) 에탄올 추출물에 대한 약리적 기전에 대한 연구가 더욱 활발하게 이루어져 당뇨병 치료에 큰 공헌을 할 수 있게 되기를 기대해본다.

Adenophorae Radix (AR), Liriopis Tuber (LT), Dendrobii Monile (DM), Polygonati Officinalis (PO), Polygonati Rhizoma (PR) have been used to treated a variety condition/diseases in traditional oriental medicine. The present study was conducted to investigate the immunmodulatory effects of the water-extracted AR, LT, DH, PO and PR. In spleen cell proliferation assay, DH was significantly enhanced mitogenic activity compared with control group. In RT-PCR, DH ad PO induced IL-2 and IFNr cytokine gene expression in mouse spleen cells. Methotrexate(MTX), immune supression agent, was significantly inhibited mouse spleen cell proliferation(1600 mg/ml). In spite of MTX treatement, DH and PO sustained the spleen cell proliferation, In the flow cytometry analysis, DH stimulated mouse spleen cells showed an increase in B-cell phenotype (CD45R/B220). The water-extracted DH and PO inhibited NO production and iNOS expression in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cell. DH induced IL-2 and IFNg gene expression in human peripheral mononuclear cells. The GC-MS analysis show that the main component of water-extracted DH was b-Nitroethyl alcohol. The main components of water-extracted PO were Dipirartril-tropico, Methyl sulfoxide and Demsodrox. These data suggest that among these extracts, DH has a protective effcet of immune suppression caused by MTX. DH may be enhance cellular and humoral immune response by the regulation of cytokine gene expression, NO production and B cell production.
