A 28-day repeated-dose oral toxicity test was performed to determine the no-observed-effect level (NOEL) and establish an optimum dose of the highly toxic Aconiti Ciliare Tuber (ACT) used as a folk remedy. Repeated oral doses of 1,250, 2,500, and 5,000 mg/kg/day of the hot water extract of ACT were administered to five male and five female Sprague-Dawley rats in each group for 4 weeks. The indicators for toxicity included results of examination of common symptoms and changes in weight and feed intake, eye test, urinalysis, hematological and serum biochemical analyses, and post-mortem weight measurement of organs, and visual inspections. All animals survived at the end of the experiment; in addition, we observed no specific test substance-mediated symptoms. We observed no test substance-mediated changes in body weight and feed intake. We observed statistically significant changes in male OB and pH levels (p<0.05). Further, the biochemical test showed statistically significant changes in the IP value of male rats and $CL^-$valueoffemalerats (p<0.05). However, all changes were within historical data. The post-mortem examinations showed no test substance-mediated changes. Moreover, statistically significant changes under the test conditions were confirmed to have been caused by factors other than the test substance. Thus, the maximum NOEL of ACT extract in rats was estimated to be 5,000 mg/kg/day.

Sauna, or hanjeung (汗蒸) is a physical sweating method that uses external heat to forcibly raise body temperature to treat cold damage disorders (傷寒) in traditional Korean medicine. This study focuses on the fact that the sauna was recorded as a healing and bathing method on the Vinaya Pitaka (律藏), and investigates the records of folk sauna therapy of Joseon Dynasty from the perspective of Buddhist medicine which played a significant role in ancient medicine history in Korea. Although the word 'hanjeung (汗蒸)' first appeared in "The Veritable Records of King Sejong (世宗實錄)" in the Korean literature, this study aims to confirm the possibility that the tradition of Buddhist sauna bathing has already existed since the Three Kingdoms period in Korea, based on the fact that sauna bathing was recorded in the Vinaya Pitaka and that the ancient Buddhist bathing culture was introduced in ancient Japan. In addition, the succession of the Buddhist sauna tradition by Goryeo will be traced back through the records of 1920s urban saunas in Gaesung (개성) which was the old capital of Goryeo and had a strong tendency to adhere to traditional Goryeo customs. Finally, the study tries to identify the elements of the Buddhist sauna bathing on the records of folk sauna therapy in the Joseon Dynasty. As a result, this study examines how the Buddhist sauna bathing culture in ancient Korea, which was led by medical monks, spread in the general public and influenced the folk sauna therapy in the Joseon Dynasty.

Currently, drug-induced liver injury (DILl) has been reported to be common cause of acute hepatitis, and oriental medicine and folk remedies are no exception. However, because many studies about DILl have been reported by western medical society. they has taken the initiative of DILl not only for western drugs but also herbs. So, academia of oriental medicine should make an effort to progress herb-related DILl studies. We describe a patient of acute liver injury which had been caused by comfrey, albizzia julibrissin, ulmus davidiana var. japonica, red ginseng. We hope that this report helps for studying the diagnosis and management of herb-derived DILl. and for establishing a standard of oriental therapy to DILL.

본 연구에서는 민간요법의 과학적인 접근의 일환으로서 현재 당뇨병 환자들이 식용 및 약용으로 이용하고 있는 민간요법에 대해 설문지를 통하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다 1)설문에 응한 73명 중 53.4%에 해당하는 39명이 한 종류 이상의 민간요법을 경험하였으며, 민간요법을 경험하지 않은 환자는 대상자의 46.6%인 34명이었다. 민간요법 경험군과 무경험군 사이의 교육정도, 가족력, 당뇨병 이환기간과의 관계는 관찰되지 않았으나 연령과는 음의 상관관계가 관찰되었다. 2) 당뇨병 환자들이 경험한 민간요법의 종류는 총 54종이었으며 가장 많이 사용된 것으로는 누에분말, 홍삼, 누에번데기, 달개비풀. 날콩, 양배추, 돌미나리 등으로 민간요법 경험군의 97.4%에서 시도하였다. 경험한 민간요법의 종류는 1인당 평균 4.8종이었으며, 1종에서부터 많게는 22종까지 경험해 본 것으로 나타났다. 3) 민간요법 경험군이 민간요법을 접하게 된 경로는 주위의 친구, 친지의 권유에 의한 경우가 가장 많았고, TV, 신문, 잡지 등 매스컴에 의한 소개도 많은 비율을 차지하였다. 복용한 민간요법의 효과에 대해 17%에서 혈당조절에 효과를 보았다고 응답을 하였고. 5.7%는 오히려 증세가 더 나빠졌다고 하였다. 경험한 민간요법에 대해 17.1%에서 위경련, 더부룩함 등의 부작용을 느꼈다고 응답하였다. 4) 민간요법 경험군 중 누에분말을 복용해 본 경험이 있다고 응답한 환자는 82.9%로 가장 사용빈도가 높았다. 누에분말을 접하게 된 경로는 주위의 친구, 친지의 권유에 의한 경우가 가장 많았고, 복용한 누에분말에 대해 20.0%정도가 혈당조절의 효과를 보았다고 응답을 하였으며, 3.3%에서는 오히려 증세가 더 나빠졌다 고 하였다. 5) 민간요법 경험군중 75.0%의 환자들이 새로운 민간요법이 소개되면 시도해 보겠다는 긍정적인 반응을 보였으며, 무경험군에서도 66.7%가 시도해 보겠다는 긍정적인 반응을 보였다.

Antler, deer horn, occupies a particular place in oriental folk medicine as so called tonic remedy. In order to study on the effects of Antler water extract on stress resistance in mice, quantitative response was measured for the change of spontaneous activity by chemical stress drugs in the control group or the Antler water extract pretreated group. Spontaneous activity in mice was measured by counting the number of interruptions of light. The results of experiment were summerized as follows; I) In case of administrating Antler water extract 10mg/kg, 20mg/kg, 50mg/kg, and 100mg/kg, no significant change was observed in spontaneous activity in comparison with the control group. II) In case of administrating Antler water extract for 5 days or 10 days, no significant change was observed in spontaneous activity by chemical stress drugs, caffein and chloropromazine, in comparison with the control group.

Chinese crude drug 'Se Sin'(細辛)has been used to cure headache, cough and expectorant. To the botanical origin of 'Se Sin', Zhong-yao-zhi(中葯志) reported Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum. A. sieboldii and A. sieboldii var. seoulensis, and Zhong-yao-da-ci-dian(中葯大辭典) reported Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum and A. sieboldii of Aristolochiaceae. In Korea, this crude drug has been used as a Korean folk remedy for tothache and aromatic. The botanical origin of 'Se Sin' is considered to be Asarum species of Aristolochoaceae. But there has no pharmacognostical confirmation on it. To clarify the botanical origin of 'Se Sin', we studied on the anatomical characteristics of Asarum species growing wildly in Korea i.e. A. maculatum, A. sieboldii, A. sieboldii var. seoulensis, and of 'Se Sin' from Korea on Korean market. Through our studies, the botanical origin of 'Se Sin' from Korea was proved to be whole plant of Asarum sieboldii and A. sieboldii var. seoulensis.
