Objectives To evaluate the effect of InsamGobonHwan (IGH) on growth of rats. Methods We divided male Sprague-Dawley rats into 4 groups(IGHE1, IGHE2, IGHE3 and sham group). IGHE1, IGHE2, IGHE3 groups were administered with IGHE water extracts once a day at the dose of 1,000, 500 and 250mg/kg/$10m{ell}$ for 1 week, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks. Sham group was administered with normal saline with using the same method. We measured body weight, amount of body weight increasing, length of femur, serum Growth Hormone(GH), serum Insulin-like Growth Factor-I(IGF-I), serum Thyroid-stimulating Hormone(TSH) and serum testosterone at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks of experiment. Results The body weight and the changes of body weight increased significantly in IGHE1 group compared to sham group after 2 and 3 weeks, and in IGHE2 group after 2 weeks. The lengths of the femur increased significantly in IGHE1 group as compared with sham group after 1, 2 and 3 weeks, and in IGHE3 group after 1 week. The level of IGF-I in the serum increased significantly in S1 group as compared tosham group after 1 and 3 weeks, and in IGHE13 group after 3 weeks. The level of TSH in the serum increased significantly in IGHE1group as compared to sham group after 2 and 3 weeks. The level of GH and testosterone in the serum does not change significantly. Conclusions SGT have an effect of promoting growth of rats and might be effect to treat various kinds of growth delay in children.

1. Objectives : This paper was written in order to understand the origin and changes of Galgeunhaegi-tang. 2. Methods : We analysis Galgeunhaegi-tang through pathology and new prescription in "Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑)", "Chobongwon(草本卷)", "Gabobon(甲午本)" and "Sinchukbon(辛丑本)" of "Dongyi Suse Bowon". 3. Results and Conclusions : We can find the first origin of Galgeunhaegi-tang in "Sinchukbon(辛丑本)" in "Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑)" which invelves Galgeunhaegi-tang in the categories of pestilence(瘟疫) and Yangmyeonggyeongbyeong(陽明經病). Also, we can find the origin in Jugoeng(朱肱)' Jojung-tang. Seungeumgalgeun-tang in the "Chobongwon(草本卷)" developed by a Galgeunhaegi-tang of "Gabobon(甲午本)", and Galgeunnabokja-tang in the "Chobongwon(草本卷)" developed by a Galgeunhaegi-tang of "Sinchukbon(辛丑本)". It is considered that Galgeunhaegi-tang of "Gabobon(甲午本)" solves heat depression(鬱熱), due to not throwing off, by using Galgeun(葛根) and Daehwang(大黃), and accompanied dryness(燥) by using Hangin(杏仁) and Sanjoin(酸棗仁) which moisten dryness(燥). It is considered that Galgeunhaegi-tang of "Sinchukbon(辛丑本)" solves heat depression(鬱熱) by using Galgeun(葛根) and accompanied dryness(燥) by using Gobon(藁本) which sets free dryness(燥).

Objectives : Because Ligusticum sinense Root as well as those of Angelica tenuissima Root are sole as Gobon(藁本) in domestic markets, morphological characteristics of them are attempted to be distinguished. Methods : The slice of the tested material made by paraffin section technique was colored with Safranine Malachite Green contrast methods, and then observed and photographed by olymphus-BHT. Results : 1. Angelica tenuissima Root has considerable number of thick roots, but Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root and Ligusticum jeholense Root are composed of rhizomes mostly with small roots. 2. Intersection of rhizomes of Angelica tenuissima Root shows a 'V'-like arrangement of xylem vessel. 3. Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root and Ligusticum jeholense Root did not show the 'V'-like arrangement, and sliced fiber bundles were found in xylem. 4. There was no difference between Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root and Ligusticum jeholense Root. Conclusions : In conclusion, Angelica tenuissima Root, Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root, and Ligusticum jeholense Root show characteristic differences in internal forms, so that it is possible to distinguish them with optical microscope.
