Objectives : Anti-oxidation activities of Malvae Semen and Abutili Semen were compared and evaluated. Methods : We tested the anti-oxidant effect through in vitro experiment and in vivo experiment that induced oxidative stress using ethanol. Results : 1. In the anti-oxidative activities of Malvae Semen and Abutili Semen they had high effects in case of the scavenging activitie of DPPH and superoxide anion radical, and inhibitory effect of linoleic acid oxidation. 2. Malvae Semen had large quantities of phenolic compound than Abutili Semen, but the anti-oxidative activity of Malvae Semen was weaker than that of Abutili Semen. 3. The anti-oxidative effect of Abutili Semen was more strong than that of Malvae Semen in the rat stressed by ethanol. Conclusion : Anti-oxidation activities of Abutili Semen were stronger than those of Malvae Semen. Therefore, the complementary usage of Malvae Semen and Abutili Semen can be considered.

Objectives : This study is to propose discriminative keys with stereoscope for minute seed herbs easily mixed up, but hard to discriminate by naked eyes: Alli Tuberosi Semen(ATS)✳Alli Fistulosi Semen(AFS), Malvae Semen(MS)✳ Abutili Semen(AS), Plantaginis Semen(PS)✳Schizonepetae Semen(SS).Objectives : We reviewed the description of original plants and medicinal herbs from literature. The specimen of original plant were collected, determinated and compared to samples in the market. Primary classification was performed with naked eyes. and we found out other discrimination keys for non-distinctive herbs with stereoscope. Discrimination keys were set as the morphological criteria of authentic herbs, percentage of adulteration, and standards for discriminating genuine herbs from adulteration.Results : 1) ATS is bigger, has reticulate pattern on protuberant side and unique garlic chives taste. AFS which is usually mixed up, is smaller, has 1~2 ridges and unique welsh onion taste. 2) MS is smaller, has no villus, but its length of bumps are similar. AS easily mixed up, is bigger and has white villus. Its upper side bump is longer and more sharp. 3) PS has dent at middle of the back side. It becomes very sticky when it is put or boiled in water. SS which can be mixed up has no dent and low viscosity compared to PS.Conclusions : With this result, we propose discriminative keys which can identify the original plants and processed herbal state of six herbs. Because minute medicinal herbs are hardly distinguishable by sensory test, It is essential to differentiate by using stereoscope.

Objectives : This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Malvae Semen herbal-acupuncture (MS-HA) at$KI_{10}$($Eumgok$) on nephritis induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rat. Methods : Rats with nephritis induced by LPS, were treated with Malvae Semen herbal-acupuncture(MS-HA) injection at $KI_{10}$. Two control groups, N.P group and Saline group, were treated with 26 gauge needle at $KI_{10}$, 3 times a week. In Saline group, normal saline was injected at $KI_{10}$. To evaluate the effects of Malvae Semen Herbal-acupuncture at $KI_{10}$ on nephritis in rats, WBC, Neutrophils in blood, BUN, Creatinine, TNF-a, CINC-1 in serum, urinal volume, creatinine, total protein in urine and renal TNF-a, renal tissue were analyzed. Results : MS-HA at $KI_{10}$ significantly reduced WBC and neutrophil in blood, TNF-${\alpha}$ in serum of LPS-stimulated rats. MS-HA at $KI_{10}$ significantly reduced total protein level in urine. MS-HA at $KI_{10}$ reduced accumulation of neutrophil in renal tissue of LPS-stimulated rats. Conclusions : Taken together, MS-HA at $KI_{10}$ has a therapeutic effect on nephritis in LPS-stimulated rat. Therefore, it is suggested that MS-HA at $KI_{10}$ may be an useful therapeutics for nephritis in clinical field.

Purpose : This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial effects of herb for removing dampness and promoting urination against vaginal microbes. Methods : Staphylococcus aureus. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA), Candida albicans and Gardnerella vaginalis were used for vaginitis-induced microbes. Lactobacillus gasseri, Streptococcus spp. and Escherichia coil HB101 were used for normal vaginal florae. And herbs for removing dampness and promoting urination(Dianthi herbs. Tokoro Rhizoma, Saururi Herbs, Pyrrosiae Folium, Artemisiae Iwayomogii Herba, Plantaginis Semen, Tetrapanacis Medulla, Polygoni Avicularis Herba, Malvae Semen, Akebiae Caulis, Kochiae Fructus, Lygodii Spora) were used. Antimicrobial activities were estimated by the change of optical densities and colony test in vitro. Results : Plantaginis Semen, Artemisiae Iwayomogii Herba and Lygodii Spora had the antimicrobial susceptibility and selective toxicity against MRSA and Gardnerella vaginalis. Polygoni Avicularis Herba had the antimicrobial susceptibility and selective toxicity against Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA and Gardnerella vaginalis. Malvae Semen and Kochiae Fructus had the antimicrobial susceptibility and selective toxicity against MRSA. Dianthi Herba had the antimicrobial susceptibility and selective toxicity against Gardnerella vaginalis. Conclusion : According to these results, we can suggest that Plantaginis Semen, Artemisiae Iwayomogii Herba, Lygodii Spora, Polygoni Avicularis Herba, Malvae Semen, Kochiae Fructus and Dianthi Herba would be available to the antimicrobial agent for vaginitis-induced microbe in vitro.

당뇨병에 효과가 있는 식품소재의 탐색과 그 소재를 이용한 기능성 빵제품 개발에 관한 연구의 일환으로 당뇨병에 효과가 있다고 알려진 소장흡수 저해효소인 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase를 target로 시중에 유통되는 다양한 생약재를 대상으로 탐색을 하였다. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase 저해활성을 조사하고자 생약재 200여종을 대상으로 물층과 메탄올 층으로 구분하여 탐색한 결과 물층에서는 황기(70.9%)가, MeOH층에서는 구인(72.9%)이 70%이상의 강력한 저해효과를 나타났으며 60%이상으로는 물층에서는 육두구(69%), 상백피(66.9%), 오미자(65%), 삼칠(63.9%), 전호(62.9%), 천문동(62.1%), 정공등(60.9%), 호장근(60.7%), 창출(60.2%), 소자(60.2%)등 이었으며, MeOH층으로는 만삼(67.8%), 도인(67.6%), 방기(63.5%), 동규자(61.6%) 순으로 활성효과를 나타내었으며 50%이상의 저해효과를 보인 것으로는 물층에서는 황정(59.8%), 신곡(59.7%), 택사(59.5%), 의인(59.2%), 세신(59.0%), 시호(53.0%)를 포함한 31여종, MeOH층에서는 사군자(58.8%), 구기자(58.3%), 과루인(58.0%), 백자인(55.9%), 백강잠(55.6%), 계내금(55.4%), 독활(55.3%), 구척(52.7%), 대극(52.7%), 백편두(52.5%) 10종이 저해효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 당뇨병 환자의 기능성 소재로 개발하는데 기초 자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.
