국산 한약재추출물을 첨가하여 제조한 전통 콩된장의 맛 성분 및 미생물학적 특성을 검토하였다. 한약재추출물 첨가 된장의 지방산 조성은 대조구와 유사한 패턴을 나타내었으며, 그 비율은 linoleic acid가 전체 지방산중에 약 $50\%$로 가장 높았으며, 다음은 oleic acid가 $26\%$를 차지하였다. 유리 아미노산 함량은 대조구$(446.79\;mg\%)$보다 한약재추출물 첨가 된장에서$(434.47\~621.6\;mg\%)$ 높게 나타났다. 유기산의 주성분은 phytic acid, lactic acid, butyric acid였고, 그 외에 acetic acid, citric acid, malonic acid, tartaric acid 및 pyroglutamic acid 등이 검출되었다. Daidzein 및 genistein 함량은 전체적으로 비슷하였으나 III군과 IV군은 약간 높은 값을 나타내었다. 한약재추출물 첨가 된장의 생균수는 대조구와 비슷한 $2.5\times10^7\;CFU/ml$정도 이였으며, protease활성은 대조구(67.65 units) 보다 약간 높은 값을 나타내었으나 amylase활성은 거의 비슷하였다. 관능검사 결과 III군과 IV군은 I과 II군의 된장보다 밝은 색깔을 나타내고 이상취를 절감하는 효과를 나타내었다. 특히 단맛이 적절하게 보완되어 대조구보다 종합적인 맛이 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.

Effects of Bupleuri Radix, Paeonie Radix or Uncariae Ramulus et rncus on experimental yperlipidemia were studied. Hyperlipidemia was induced on male Wistar rats by feeding them on high holesterol diet for one week, as previously described by the authors. Blood lipid profile was verified on these ats by measuring total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL) and low ensity lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL). Then, the rats were followed by feeding normal diet. At the same time, ethanol extracts of the three individual herb medicines were orally administered to the rats for 4 weeks and the parameters above mentioned were monitored. Methanol extract of 5Bupleuri radix reduced the TC value significantly at 2 week point and Paeoneae Radix reduced the TC value at 4 week point in compare to control group, suggesting the antihyperlipidemic effect of the two herbal medicines in vivo. The extract of Uncariae Ramulus et Uncus however did not show antihyperlipidemic effect in our experiment.

Objectives: This study aimed to review the experimental research trends in asthma caused by particulate matter to conduct further researches, especially in clinical trials. Methods: We searched for the meaningful literature using medicinal herb for asthma through the Pubmed databases. Results: Finally, six studies were finally selected. These studies showed recent trends, from 2018 to 2021 and conducted mostly in South Korea. The type of fine dust and the method of inducing asthma are different for each paper, but the effective mechanism is relatively common. It was commonly confirmed that the ratio and number of eosinophils, th2 cells and related cytokines are decreased in BALF and lung tissue by administration of medicinal herb. Conclusions: Although the method of inducing asthma using fine dust has not yet been standardized, it is thought that more meaningful evaluation results can be derived if a standardized animal model is established in the future. Nevertheless, based on the results that herbal medicine is effective for particular matter induced asthma, it is expected that it will be the basis for expanding into future clinical studies.

Objects : The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of five herbal medicines on cytochrome P450 3A4 drug-metabolizing enzymes in human liver microsomes. Methods : To use human liver microsomes, an extract of five herbal medicines, which are Artemisia princeps Pampan, Sophora jeponica Linne, Panax notoginseng F. H. Chen, Lithospermum Erythrorhizon Sieb., and Cirsium maackii Maxim, which together are called Jihyulyak(止血藥, drugs for arresting bleeding, hemostatics), was co-incubated and measured for relative enzyme activity in incubation condition compared to ketoconazole, a representative inhibitor of CYP 3A4. Results : We showed that all five of the traditional herbal medicines had no inhibition effect of CYP 3A4 at 10, 20, 30, 40, and $50{\mu}g/ml$ doses in human liver microsomes, although Sophora japonica Linne(SJL) showed a little inhibition at about 81% inhibition rate of control. However, this result is not enough to prove that SJL has a CYP 3A4 inhibition effect. Moreover, we can't make sure that those rates had significant induction effect on CYP 3A4. Conclusions : The result of this study could support that those herbal medicines are safer than chemical drugs, even if this is the basic step to prove that result.

The "tang[tɑ:ŋ]" in Korean pronounciation means the beverage made of boiled medicinal herbs. The"Jeho-tang", the name of Drink in this abstract, is described in a variety of medical books including the "Dongeui Bogam" as being effective for illness from the summer heat in promoting digestion, curing the heatstroke and bringing it to a halt. The Drink was used as the Royal gifts granted to retainers and royal families on the Day of Dano-festival on the fifth of the fifth month of the year according to the lunar calendar, the items of encouragement for those who worked hard in sacrifices, and the awards for students of Confucianism who were proficient in their learning. The Jeho-tang used in this study was scientifically cooked again after a long time in history through looking at the methods written in the documents concerned with the Drink such as the "Dongeui Bogam" and the "Taste of Korea". In preparation of the medicinal herbs for the Drink, the powder of thinner than 30 mesh of the "Prunus mume", which is a species of Asian plum in the family of Rosaceae, and those of 50 mesh of the "Santalum album", which is the fragrant wood of trees in the genus Santalum and the "Amomum Xanthioides", which is produced in Vietnam and is the name of a kind of herb medicines, being very effective in the desease caused from heatstrare, were used. The sugar concentration of the honey boiled down long time at low heat was $82.43^{\circ}Bx$. When cooking in a double boiler, the inner part of the liquid for the Drink was kept at $80^{\circ}C$ for 12 hours to make it finished in a state of ointment. In the general composition of the finished Jeho-tang, the moisture content was 24.4%, 1.3% of crude fat, 1.4% crude protein and 0.7% ash, along with pH3.2. The acceptance on the whole was come out to be the highest in the sample diluted with the drinking water of 7-fold of the Jeho-tang, indicating that the 7-fold's addition of water was optimum level for drinking. In the Drink cooked by a vaccum pressure extractor for herb medicine, which was developed to improve the art of cooking, the longer the time of pressure was, the less the heterogeneous feeling at tongue was and the more the glossiness of the Drink was. The Jeho-tang cooked under pressure for 7 hours received an excellent evaluation in its acceptability in every way.

The three crude drugs of the Kalopanax pictus (Araliaceae) roots (K), Pueraria thunbergiana (Leguminosae) flowers (P), and the Rhus verniciflua (Anacardiaceae) heartwood(R) used for anti-thirst drugs in Oriental herb medicine were extracted with MeOH, respectively, and the successive fractionation of the extract gave EtOAc extract. Certain amount ratios of the three extracts were also prepared to compare the antimutagenicity in Ames test. In N-methyl-N(-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG; 0.4 (g/plate)-induced test, the activities of complex mixture were observed between the highest antimutagenic activity of K extract and the lowest P extract. In aflatoxin (AFB$_1$)-induced test, the EtOAc complex (K : P : R=l : 1 : 3) labeled E-113 decreased the revertants of Salmonella typhimurium TA100 by 95％, which activity were highest among other extracts or complexes mixture used. Fractionation of organic solvent mostly increased the antimutagenicity. These trends were also observed in the antimutagenicity test of the mixture of each active component of kalopanaxsaponin A, tectorigenin and sulfuretin. These results supported that many kinds of anti-thirst herb medicine in the prescription could effectively prevent cancer disease.

Many plants and animal have long been known to have medicinal effects and therefore have been used as medicines. There are many substances that show various pharmacologic efficacy such as anti-tumor efficacy, anti-inflammatory efficacy, cholesterol-lowering efficacy, anti-coagulant of blood efficacy and anti-bacterial efficacy. I summarized the recent advances in research on physiologically functional foods. The pharmacological efficacy of dietary fiber, chitin & chitosan, DHA(docosahexaenoic acid), mushroom, alginic acid and herbs have selected as topices for discussion. I was examining the anti-coagulant activity of herbs, I discovered that Eugenia caryophyllata T. (clove) had a relatively high anti-coagulant activity.
