Objectives : This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Junci Medulla Herbal-acupuncture(JM-HA) at $KI_{10}$(Umgok) on nephritis induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) in rats. Methods : Rats with nephritis induced by LPS, were treated with JM-HA at $KI_{10}$ 3 times a week. The rats in the NP group and the saline group were treated with a needle prick and a saline injection respectively. To evaluate the effects of JM-HA at $KI_{10}$ on nephritis in rats, WBC, neutrophils in blood, BUN, creatinine, TNF-${\alpha}$ in serum, creatinine, total protein in urine and renal MPO were measured. Results : JM-HA at $KI_{10}$ significantly inhibited the increase of WBC and neutrophils in blood, BUN, creatinine, TNF-${\alpha}$ in serum, and MPO in kidney of LPS-stimulated rats. Conclusion : JM-HA at $KI_{10}$ has therapeutic effects on nephritis in LPS-stimulated rats. Therefore, it is suggested that JM-HA at $KI_{10}$ may be a useful therapy in clinical field after further researches.

안전성이 확보된 천연항균제 개발을 목표로, 국내에서 유통되고 있는 국내산 및 수입산 한방 생약재 61종류로부터 원산지별, 부위별 에탄올 추출물 68종을 조제하고 이들의 항균활성을 평가하였다. 사용한 생약재는 중국산 46종, 국내산 14종, 북한산 5종 및 베트남산 3종이었으며, 사용 생약재의 부위로는 뿌리가 27종으로 많았으며, 열매, 껍질, 줄기, 잎, 종자, 꽃, 균핵, 꽃가루 순이었다. 생약재의 평균수분함량은 7.10% 이었고, 에탄올에 대한 평균 추출율은 6.75%를 나타내었다. Disc-diffusion법에 의한 생약재의 항균활성 결과, 고본(중국산), 팔각향, 등심초, 오배자, 단삼 및 정향에서 광범위한 항세균 및 항진균 활성을 확인하였으며, 이들에 대한 최소생육억제농도(MIC)와 최소사멸농도(MBC/MFC)를 평가한 결과, 정향에서 다양한 세균, 진균에 대해1.25 mg/mL의 MIC와 1.25~5.00 mg/mL의 MBC/MFC를 나타내어 가장 광범위한 항균활성을 확인하였으며, 등심초, 오배자, 단삼에서는 Escherichia coli와 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 를 제외한 세균에서 0.08~0.63 mg/mL의 MIC와 0.08~2.50 mg/mL의 MBC/MFC를 나타내어 강력한 항세균 활성을 확인하였다. 한편 68종 시료의 인간 적혈구에 대한 용혈활성 평가 결과, 고본(중국산) 추출물이 $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 17.8%의 용혈활성이 나타나, 이를 제외한 팔각향, 등심초, 오배자, 단삼 및 정향 추출물을 천연항균제 한방자원으로 최종 선정하였다.

Blood monocytes are the precursors for the lipid-laden foam cells of early atherosclerotic lesions. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1), a CC chemokine, and chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) play a crucial role in the recruitment of monocytes to the vascular lesion. Using the human monocyte THP-1 cell line, we investigate the inhibitory effects of methanol extracts of 127 medicinal herbs on MCP-1 induced chemotaxis. Seven kinds of methanol extracts of medicinal herbs showed above 40% inhibitory effect with the concentration of $25{\mu}g/ml$. They were divide three fractions of $CHCI_3$, BuOH, $H_2O$ to use solvent partition. Among them, butanol extract of Junci Medulla and $CHCI_3$ extract of Clematidis Radix are showed significant inhibitory activities (above 50% inhibition) at the same concentration.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze some of the TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) clinical research literatures about pediatric night crying in order to learn clinical application of Korean medicine treatment for pediatric night crying. Methods We searched clinical trial literatures about TCM treatment of pediatric night crying from the CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) (January 2000 to June 2018). We analyzed the literature in regards to the treatment methods and the results. Results Among the 459 searched studies, 13 randomized controlled trials and 41 case studies were selected and analyzed. In most of the studies, the effectiveness of TCM in treating patients was significantly high, so we confirmed the effectiveness of TCM on pediatric night crying. The most commonly used pattern differentiations (辨證) were Spirit damage due to fright and fear (驚恐傷神), Spleen deficiency and cold (脾虛寒) and Heart fire heat (心火熱). Methods of treatment include herbal medicines (internal medicine and external application), massage therapy (Tuina methods), acupuncture and other treatments (bloodletting). The most commonly used herb medicines were Cicadidae Periostracum (蟬?), Poria Cocos (茯?), Glycyrrhizae Radix (甘草), Uncariae Ramulus et Uncus (釣鉤藤), Junci Medulla (燈心草), Fossilia Ossis Mastodi (龍骨), Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba (白朮), Cinnabaris (朱砂), and Coptidis Rhizoma (黃連). The most commonly used massage methods were Clearing Liver Channel (淸肝經), Clearing Heart Channel (淸心經), Kneading $Xi{\check{a}}oti{\bar{a}}nx{\bar{i}}n$ (?小天心), Supplementing Spleen Channel (補脾經), Clearing $Ti{\bar{a}}nh{\acute{e}}shu{\check{i}}$ (淸天河水), and Rubbing Abdomen (摩腹). Conclusions Based on the results of clinical studies from China, the use of Korean medicine for the treatment of pediatric night crying has been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to widen the scope of Korean medicine by additionally reviewing clinical and experimental studies on pediatric night crying.
