It has value as a local cultural heritage because it has unique characteristics in terms of the shape of the furniture, the metal ornament and various functions are integrated in accordance with user's requirements. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to define the structural characteristics of the Jeonju-Jang through case studies of 16 existing artifacts in order to preserve and inherit the value as local cultural resources.

First, Jeonju-Jang in the late period of Joseon Dynasty that is made up of one board to the bottom with the binding of the board. and the front wall, the Juibyuckkan and the Meoruemkan are omitted or made small, so the structure of the surface is simple. There are three or four drawers under the Cheon pan(top plate). There are drawers and shelf inside the hinged door. In the case of a two-layer type, there is a Gaegumeong type door which has half of one side hinged. Second, Jeonju-Jang of the Japanese Ruling Era had a Juibyuckkan by frame binding and an increase in the number of Meoruemkan. and it had independent legs.

  • This study was designed to elucidate the effects of Cirsium japonicum (CJ) extracts on hepatic stellate cells (HSCs, LX-2 cells) proliferation, which is induced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or transforming growth factor-${\beta}$ (TGF-${\beta}$). The content of total phenol, flavonoid, and silymarin derivatives was more higher in CJ-flower than in CJ-root. Consistent with these results, the LX-2 cells growth inhibition was more effective in CJ-flower extract than in CJ-root extract, the complete growth inhibition concentration was $1{\mu}g/mL$ and $50{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. These results suggest that extracts from CJ-flower can be potentially used as therapeutic substances for the regulatioin of HSCs activation.
