Diospyros lotus has been cultivated for its edible fruits and leaves which are considered for its medicinal importance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-melanogenesis of ethyl acetate (EA) fractions from D. lotus leaves in B16 cells. The order of the total polyphenol content with regard to the different solvent fractions from D. lotus leaves was EA>butanol>metahanol>chloroform>n-hexane. The major compounds of EA fraction from D. lotus leaves by HPLC analysis were myricitrin and myricetin. Cellular TYR activity and melanin content in response to treatment with 100 mg/mL of EA fraction was inhibited more strongly than group treated with arbutin. Further, EA fraction exhibited significant anti-melanogenesis effects by reducing the levels of microphthalima-associated transcription factor (MITE), inhibiting the synthesis of TYR, tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) and TRP-2. Therefore, EA fractions from D. lotus leaves may be a good source of skin-whitening agents in the future development of medicine-based trouble skin therapy.

연(Nelumbo nucifera)은 우리나라에 널리 분포하며 뿌리는 식용으로 잎은 민간에서 치료제로 사용되어왔다. 연잎은 또한 차와 술 등으로 가공되어 음용되고 있지만 이에 대한 생리활성 연구가 미비해 본 연구에서는 연잎 추출물의 흰쥐에 대한 혈청 및 간 조직 지질 함량에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 실험동물은 rat를 사용했으며 일반식이 섭취군(Con)과 고지방식이 섭취군(HFG) 그리고 고지방식이 섭취 및 연잎 추출물 투여군(HL40, HL80, HL120)으로 나누었으며 연잎 추출물 투여군은 rat의 체중(kg) 대비 고형분 40 mg 투여군(HL40), 80 mg 투여군(HL80), 120 mg 투여군(HL120)으로 세분하여 총 4주간 사육하였다. 4주간 사료 섭취량 대비 체중증가량을 측정한 결과 HL40, 80, 120의 경우 고지방 식이를 하였기에 Cont군보다는 높은 체중증가량을 보여주었지만 동일한 고지방 식이를 행한 HFG군과 비교하여 유의적으로 낮은 체중증가량을 보여주었고 섭취량이 증가할수록 그 폭이 낮아져 HL120군의 경우는 Cont군과 오차범위 내에 있을 만큼 그 효과가 두드러졌다. 간의 총 지질 함량 측정결과 HL120군이 HFG군보다 지질생성량이 낮게 나왔으나 유의적인 차이를 보여주지 못했다. 총 콜레스테롤 함량의 경우에는 Cont군과 HL120군에서 동일한 수치로 가장 낮게 나타났다. HFG군과 비교하여 HL120군에서 수치가 40% 가량 떨어졌고 HL40, 80군과는 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 미루어 일정 수준 이상의 연잎 추출물 급여 시 총콜레스테롤 수치를 떨어뜨리는데 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 중성지방의 경우 연잎 추출물을 급여한 모든 군이 HFG군뿐만 아니라 Cont군에 비해서도 낮은 수치를 보였다. 특히 HL120군에서는 HFG군에 비해 그 수치가 절반가량 줄어듦을 볼 수 있었다. 혈청 내 지질 패턴을 분석하기 위해 총 지질, 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방 농도를 측정한 결과, 혈청 내 총 지질은 Cont군을 제외한 나머지 군들은 오차범위 내에 있었으며 변별력을 보여주지 못했다. 중성지방의 경우 HL40, 80, 120군이 HFG보다 낮게 측정되었으며 총 콜레스테롤의 경우에도 동일한 경향을 보여주었다. 이 결과 연잎이 면이나 빵류 등에 첨가되어 각종 다이어트식품의 개발에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The current study aims to link Korean tradition to modern culture; to re-produce patterns of lotus depicted in Minwha, The study also aims to discover the beauty of Korean tradition and to modernize it. The current study is based upon document searches(including research papers) and the Internet searches. Through these searches, it investigates the concept of Minhwa, the origin of lotus depiction and its symbolic meanings, the traits of such pattern. Based upon this investigation, the study attempts to modernize the patterns of lotus and apply the modernized patterns to designing shirts. The process which employs the lotus patterns illustrated in Minhwa to shirt design includes four sub-processes: selecting, allocating, coloring, and selecting production techniques. The sub- process of selecting patterns is two folded: the first stage covers carbon-copying the distinctive features of lotus, lotus leaf, lotus bud, lotus pip, and lotus stem; the second stage is making these features suitable to shirt sizes. For the process of coloring those shirts, Piccaso's work(Pablo Picasso, 1881~1973) has been selected and the colors in his work have been adopted to dye the rest of the shirts as well as the lotus features. The process of selecting production techniques includes ornament tail in order to modernize the patterns allocated in the shirts. Once these processes are completed, the shirts are made on a scale of real-life size. These processes of creating shirt design by modernizing traditional patterns will hopefully contribute to researchers expanding the domain of shirt design.

Research was initiated to investigate vegetation coverage and growth of main herbaceous flowers under low maintenance condition like a wild state. Eleven entries were comprised of 1 annual, 2 biennials and 8 perennials from widely used herbaceous flowers in Korea. Vegetation coverage and germination rate were high on annual and biennials when compared to perennials. Callistephus chinensis showed high vegetation coverage but lasted only for a year in 2001 and disappeared in 2002 as an annual. Oenothera odorata and Oenothera lamarckiana were also high vegetation coverage species with persistent only for two years as biennials. Therefore, these species should not be used in a large amount for ecological restoration when mixed with perennials because of affecting the vegetation coverage of perennials. There were considerable variations in vegetation coverage with perennial herbaceous flowers : Lotus corniculatus and Taraxacum platycarpum-high vegetation coverage species, Platycodon grandiflorum, Aster tataricus and Aster koraiensis-medium vegetation coverage species, and Aster yomena, Patrinia scabiosaefolia and Chrysanthemum indicum-low vegetation coverage species. Growth types of herbaceous flowers tested in this research were divided into 4 types : Callistephus chinensis, Oenothera lamarckiana and Aster koraiensis-wide leaf and tall type, Aster tataricus, Patrinia scabiosaefolia, Oenothera odorata, Taraxacum platycarpum, and Aster yomena-medium leaf and medium tall type, Platycodon grandiflorum-fine leaf and dwarf type, and Lotus corniculatus-fine leaf and tall type.

Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate the effects of fermented lotus extracts on the inhibition of differentiation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Methods: Extracts of lotus leaf and lotus root were fermented using 4 different probiotics separately, including Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium breve, and Bifidobacterium longum. Inhibition of preadipocyte differentiation was examined by Oil red O dye staining. Expressions of adipogenic transcription factors including CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (C/$EBP{\alpha}$) and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$) were analyzed by real time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting analysis. Results: Fermented lotus extracts inhibited adipogenic transcription factors by inhibiting preadipocytes differentiation. All of the groups fermented by 4 kinds of probiotics showed reduction in Oil Red O dye staining. Bifidobacterium breve showed the most effective inhibition of C/$EBP{\alpha}$. Bifidobacterium breve and Bifidobacterium longum showed the best downregulation of $PPAR{\gamma}$ expressions compared with the control and the unfermented lotus group. Conclusions: Fermented lotus extracts showed significant effects on inhibition of preadipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes showing correlation with insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism related with obesity.

D. kaki and D. lotus are used as rootstocks for astringent persimmons in Korea but characteristics of their seedlings have not been determined. In this experiment, their seeds were sown in 3-L pots on April 18 and the seedlings were grown until October 24. Growth and nutrient absorption were compared at the end of the season after destructively harvesting the seedlings. Seedling growth of D. lotus was much faster than that of D. kaki in terms of total stem length, stem diameter, and number of leaves. However, chlorophyll value and specific leaf weight were higher in D. kaki than in D. lotus. Dry weight of D. lotus was 3.6- and 3.7-fold higher than that of D. kaki in above-ground parts and the root, respectively. D. kaki seedlings were characterized by higher concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg in the leaves, stem, or the root. However, total contents of the elements were 1.8- to 3.7-fold higher in a D. lotus seedling due to its greater dry weight. Since D. lotus seedlings absorbed more inorganic elements on a tree basis and grew more vigorously than D. kaki seedlings, the level of fertilization for astringent persimmons should be adjusted depending on rootstocks to maintain the trees at the optimum vigor.

All the parts of lotus, including the seed, rhizome, leaf, stalk, petal, anther, pericarp, and fruit receptacle, have been used in traditional medicine system as a health beneficial supplement. However the most usually used from lotus plant is only the root. Therefore in this study, it will be discussed more the utilization of other parts of the lotus, namely the flower of lotus. The petals and stamens of lotus actually are also rich in bioactive components such as flavonoids and alkaloids, are used in the treatment of tissue inflammation, cancer, skin disease, and also for us as antidotes. One of the biotechnological process that can be used to improve the nutritional content, sensory, and also antioxidant activities is fermentation process. The final product desired from the fermentation process in this study is vinegar. The microbial strain powder used is Uinkin fermented powder with three variations of fermentation. The variations given in this study were initial sugar 32%, 24%, and 14% with the same fermentation temperature, $35^{\circ}C$ for 3 months. The results obtained showed that the pH value and sugar content of products during the fermentation process were decreasing during the fermentation process, with total polyphenol content of $283.7{\pm}97.6mg/100g\;QAE$, and total flavonoid content of $3.3{\pm}0.0mg/100g\;QAE$. For the DPPH radical scavenging ability of the fermentation product also increased in a concentration dependent manner, with ORAC activity of the product showed a high activity of $20.7{\pm}0.41{\mu}M$ TE. Therefore, fermentation process can be the one of method for improving the product. The efficiency of lotus flower vinegar fermentation can be reached with an initial sugar condition of 25% (sample B).
