Morphological characteristics of the Eucommia barks produced in Korea and China and of the barks of Euonymus japonicus $T_{HUMBERGI}$ in Korea and Euonymus pellucidifolia $H_{AGATA}$ in Taiwan were compared. The similarity in morphological features between Eucommiae Cortex produced in Korea and that of China suggests that both plants are of same botanical origin. However, the size of tissues and cells indicates that there is only one difference due to warm climatic environment. The similarity and difference of the barks of Euonymus japonicus produced in Korea and Euonymus pellucidifolia produced in Taiwan comfirmed that the two plants belong to the same genus and that they are different species.

GCSB-5 is a purified extract from a mixture of 6 Oriental herbs (Ledebouriellae Radix, Achyranthis Radix, Acanthopanacis Cortex, Cibotii Rhizoma, Glycine Semen, and Eucommiae Cortex) that have been widely used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases in the East Asia. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory potential of GCSB-5. The animals used in this study were administered either vehicle or GCSB-5 (30, 100, 300, and 600 mg/kg) orally. The GCSB-5 significantly inhibited the increased of acetic acid-induced vascular permeability (30.9%-34.2% inhibition at 30-300 mg/kg). The swelling of the rat's hind paw induced by carrageenan was significantly inhibited by GCSB-5 in doses of 100, 300, and 600 mg/kg. Maximal inhibition (50.9%) was obtained with GCSB-5 at dose of 300 mg/kg. However, it did not have any anti-inflammatory action in the rheumatoid arthritis induced by Freund's complete adjuvant or in the granuloma induced by carrageenan. Our finding suggest that GCSB-5 has a anti-inflammatory activity.

Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate the effect of HTE001, a multi-herbal mixture consisting of 10 herbs, Cornus Frutus, Schizandrae Fructus, Rubi Fructus, Cnidi Fructus, Acanthopanacis senticosi Radix, Cinnamomi Cortex, Eucommiae Cortex, Allii Bulbus, Rehmanniae Radix and Ginseng Radix, on electrostimulation-induced penile erection in rats. Methods : Intracavernous pressure (ICP) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were simultaneously monitored through electric stimulation of the cavernous nerve after the oral administration of HTE001 (30, 100, 300 mg/kg) in normal rats. Statistical analysis was performed on maximal intracavernous pressure (ICP), maximal intracavernous pressure/mean arterial blood pressure (ICP/MAP) ratio, and the area under the curve (AUC) of ICP/MAP ratio. Results : Oral administration of HTE001 300 mg/kg caused the ICP to increase in a frequency-dependent manner. And HTE001 300 mg/kg treatment group showed the highest value in the ICP/MAP ratio and the AUC value of the ICP/MAP ratio compared to the control group at 2 Hz, 6 Hz and 10 Hz, respectively without an effect on the mean arterial blood pressure under the same stimulation of the cavernous nerve. Conclusions : These results show that HTE001 improve penile erection and prolong the decay period in normal rats without affecting mean arterial blood pressure, and suggest that HTE001 could be a good therapeutic candidate to treat erectile dysfunction.

본 연구는 다류원료 식물류의 물 추출물에 대해 항산화성을 검토하고 그 항산화 물질(페놀성 화합물, 비타민 C, 셀레늄)을 분석하였다. 대두유에 식물류의 물 추출물을 0.02%(추출고형분 함량, w/w) 첨가하여 $55^{\circ}C$ 공기순환식 인큐베이터에서 36일 저장기간 동안 과산화물가 측정과 $110^{\circ}C$에서 Rancimat 방법에 의해 항산화성을 검토하였으며 첨가제가 들어있지 않은 대두유를 대조구에 사용했고 0.02% BHT 첨가한 대두유는 비교구로 사용하였다. 대조구와 BHT 첨가구에 비해 산화 유도기간이 $55^{\circ}C$에서는 구기자, 우롱차, 귤껍질(진피), 유자, 매실 물 추출물 등이 길었으며 $110^{\circ}C$에서는 우롱차, 인스탄트커피, 유자, 구기자, 오미자, 매실 물 추출물 등이 길었다. 추출고형분 g당 총페놀성 물질 함량은 우롱차, 녹차, 홍차, 커피, 계피, 결명자 물 추출물 등에서 높았고 비타민 C 함량은 커피, 두충, 홍차, 영지, 계피, 감잎, 치커리, 녹차, 우롱차 물 추출물 등에서 높았으며 셀레늄은 모든 물 추출물에서 검출되지 않았다. 이들의 항산화성은 단일 항산화성 물질의 효과에 기인하기 보다는 페놀성 화합물, 비타민 C 등 복합적 효과에 의한 것으로 사료된다.

Solvent fractions were prepared from traditional herbal drugs which of methanol extracts inhibited $CCl_4$-induced cytotoxicity in primary cultured rat hepatocytes and c ontinuously assayed their effects. Ethylacetate and n-buthanol fractions from Cibotii Rhizoma and chloroform fraction from Gelatina Nigra inhibited the release of LDH and GPT from $CCl_4$-treated hepatocytes, respectively. Water fraction (WAR) among solvent fractions from Astragali Radix showed the most potent inhibitory effect on the release of GOT or GPT by treatment with $CCl_4$. All of solvent fractions prepared from Eucommiae Cortex had no effect on $CCl_4$-induced cytotoxicity. Chloroform and ethylacetate fractions from Rehmanniae Radix Preparata increased the release of GPT from $CCl_4$-treated hepatocytes. n-Hexan, chloroform or ethylacetate fraction from 5 herbal drugs increased the release of LDH, GOT or GPT from normal hepatocytes at the dose of 1.Omg/ml. Administration of WAR suppressed the elevation of GOT, ALP activities and MDA contents in the serum as well as in the liver tissue of $CCl_4$-intoxicated rats. Based on these results, isolation of antihepatotoxic substances from WAR is under the process.

Simple formulas (單方) of muscle section in Donguibogam (東醫寶鑑) have long been prescribed for strengthening muscle and/or prevention of age-related muscle loss. However, biological activity and mechanisms by which they influence myoblast differentiation have not been studied. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the effects of 14 simple formulas on myoblast differentiation in C2C12 myoblast cells under non-cytotoxic ($0.5mg/m{\ell}$) conditions. C2C12 cells were treated with water extracts of simple formulas for 72 h, and RT-PCR was performed to determine the gene expression levels of myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs), including myoD, myogenin, MRF4, myf5, and insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Treatment with Colocasiae Rhizoma (CR), Pini Semen (PS), and Sesami Semen (SS) resulted in a significant increase in expression of myogenin in C2C12 cells. Treatment with Allii Macrostemi Bulbus (AM), Colocasiae Rhizoma (CR), and Pini Semen (PS) also resulted in increased expression of MRF4 in C2C12 cells. In addition, enhanced expression of IGF-1 was observed in treatment with Eucommiae cortex (EC), Dioscoreae Rhizoma (DR), Colocasiae Rhizoma (CR), Pini Semen (PS), and Sesami Semen (SS) in C2C12 cells. These results indicate that simple formulas of muscle section in Donguibogam could potentially enhance myoblast differentiation at least in part via increasing expression of myogenin, and/or MRF4 and/or IGF-1.

체내에서 멜라닌 생합성을 촉매하는 tyrosinase에 대한 천연의 지용성 저해제 발굴을 위하여, isooctane/AOT(100 mM)/인산완충용액(20 mM, pH 8.0)으로 구성되고 tyrosinase(105.3 units/mL)와 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-alanine(0.18 mM)을 함유한 역미셀계에서 식물체 75종의 petroleum ether 추출물이 tyrosinase 반응을 억제하는 효과를 분석하였다. 조사대상 식물체중에서 마늘이 in vitro 멜라닌 합성 반응을 완전히 저해하였고(100%), 모과, 고구마, 양파, 무순, 사과의 저해활성이 60% 이상이었다. 한약재와 향신료 중에서는 로즈마리, 고수, 계피, 산사자, 측백엽, 오매, 두충, 박하, 정향이 60% 이상의 저해능을 보였다. 그리고 각 식물체의 tyrosinase 저해효과와 더불어 추출수율을 함께 고려했을 때, 단위 원재료로부터 tyrosianse 저해제 생산을 많이 할 수 있는 소재를 선정할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 역미셀계를 이용함으로서 기존에는 분석이 어려웠던 지용성 물질의 tyrosinase 저해효과를 측정할 수 있었다.

Objectives : To research trends of studies on treatments of knee osteoarthritis in Korean medicine. Methods : Domestic theses, published from 2000 to 2010, mentioning the treatments of knee osteoarthritis in Korean medicine were reviewed and analyzed. This study researched 79 theses and classified again according to the fields of the treatment. Results : The results were obtained as below ; 1. Studies on pharmacoacupuncture account for 41% of the total (32cases/79cases). The target of treatments had changed from pain alleviation and anti-inflammation to cartilage-protection since 2006. 2. Herbal Drug, Bee Venom, Cervi Cornu Parvum pharmacoacupuncture, Taping Therapy and Tai-Chi Exercise program were more effective than others. Moreover research on exercise program such as Tai-Chi has been increasing. 3. Some Herbal Drug (Glycyrrhizae Radix, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Achyrantis Radix, Paeoniae Radix, Eucommiae Cortex and so on) were mainly used to investigate the effect on cartilage protection, pain relief and anti-inflammation in laboratory test. 4. Acupuncture including individualized, local acupoints and constitution acupuncture were effective than others in pain alleviation and symptom relief. 5. Pharmacoacupuncture Bee Venom were effective in recovery of joint function and pain relief while Buthus martensii Karsch, Homnis Placenta and Cervi Cornu Parvum were effective in cartilage protection and recovery. 6. Moxibustion was efficient to reduce joint pain and partly increase ROM (range of motion) of knee joint, but was not efficient to recover the function of knee joint. Conclusions : These results indicate that research trends on knee osteoarthritis were changed from symptomatic treatment (pain alleviation and anti-inflammation) to conservative treatment (cartilage protection and recovery).
