This study was designed to potentiate the vasodilation effect of Banhabackchulchunma-Tang(BCT) prescription by change of mixture. Six different BCT compositions were made according to mixture of herbs. The vascular relaxation effects of 6 different BCT compositions were examined on phenylephrine(PE)-precontracted rat thoracic aorta. The BCT-1 composition exerted significant relaxation on phenylephrine- or KCI- contracted rat thoracic aorta. Its elaxation was endothelium- independent in both PE- and KCl-induced contraction. Treatment of glibenclamide or tetraethylammonium(TEA) did not affect the relaxation of BCT-1. Vasorelaxation efficacy of BCT-1 was also not influenced by low (25mM) or high (50mM, 80mM) KCl-induced contraction. Furthermore, the contraction by increasing $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations (0.3-10.0mM) to a $Ca^{2+}$-free high K+ (60mM) was significantly reduced by pretreatment with BCT-1 In addition, the relaxant effects were not inhibited by pretreatment of rat aorta with L-NAME, MB, indomethacin and atropine. These results confirm that BCT-1 may exerts its vasodilation effect by endothelium-independent manner. According to the above results, we suggest that the relaxation effect of BCT-1 is endothelium-independent and is related with block of $Ca^{2+}$ influx via $Ca^{2+}$ channel.

In order to determine the effect of Oryeongsan reputed to have diuretic action since Han Dynasty and possible synergetic action of Dianthi Semen, Polygonum avicularis Herba, Kochiae Fructus and Akebiae Lignum, herbs with similar reputation, when added to the above prescription, their decoction powders were solved into distilled water and injected into rabbits through the ear vein. Upon the treatment, the excretion of sodium, potassium and chloride ion together with urine volume was kinetically determined. At the same time the clearance of plasma creatinine and sodium ion was determined and the following results were obtained. Every experimental group demonstrated diuretic action, though feable, of relatively long duration. The diuretic mechanism in the case of Oryeongsan made up by mixing the seperate extracts of individual components and Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen was found to be inhibitory effect of renal tubular reabsorption in contrast to the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Polygonum avicularis Herba, Kochiae Fructus or Akebiae Lignum in which case the diuretic mechanism was found to be glomerular vascular dilatation. The urinary excretion of potassium ion was increased in the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen, Kochiae Fructus of Akebiae Lignum whereas in the other cases no similar change was registered. The diuretic action was most remarkable in the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Polygonum avicularis Herba followed by Oryeongsan(A) plus Kochiae Fructus, Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen, extract mixture of individual component of Oryeongsan, Oryeongsan(A) and Oryeongsan(A) plus Akebiae Lignum decreasing order. The duration of diuretic action was found to be 90 minutes in the case of Oryeongsan and mixture of individual component of Oryeongsan, and 60 minutes in the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Dianthi Semen, Kochiae Fructus or Akebiae Lignum in contrast to the case of Oryeongsan(A) plus Polygonum avicularis Herba which lasted up to 120 minutes.

The consumption of herbal medicine and related products (herbal products) have increased in South Korea. At the same time the quality, safety, and efficacy of herbal products is being raised. Currently, the herbal products are standardized and controlled according to the requirements of the Korean Pharmacopoeia, the National Institute of Health and the Ministry of Public Health and Social Affairs. The validation of herbal products and their medicinal component is important, since many of these herbal products are composed of two or more medicinal plants. However, there are no tools to support the validation process. Interest in deep learning has exploded over the past decade, for herbal medicine using algorithms to achieve herb recognition, symptom related target prediction, and drug repositioning have been reported. In this study, individual images of four herbs (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz, Poria cocos Wolf, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer), actually sold in the market, were achieved. Certain image preprocessing steps such as noise reduction and resize were formatted. After the features are optimized, we applied GoogLeNet_Inception v4 model for herb image recognition. Experimental results show that our method achieved test accuracy of 95%. However, there are two limitations in the current study. Firstly, due to the relatively small data collection (100 images), the training loss is much lower than validation loss which possess overfitting problem. Secondly, herbal products are mostly in a mixture, the applied method cannot be reliable to detect a single herb from a mixture. Thus, further large data collection and improved object detection is needed for better classification.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Houttuynia cordata Thunb and Oriental Herb Mixture Extract (HCTM) through anti-oxidation against the hepatotoxicity-inducing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in HCTM and LPS-treated rats. HCTM of 100 mg/kg concentration was intraperitoneally administered into rats at dose of 1.5 ml/kg for 20 days. On the day 21, 1.5 ml/kg of LPS was injected 5 hours before anesthetization. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was measured in mitochondrial fraction and malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were measured in liver homogenate. LPS-treatment markedly increased the levels of MDA and significantly decreased those of SOD, CAT and GPx. But HCTM pretreatment significantly increased those of SOD, CAT and GPx by 86.9%, 57.2% and 72.7% respectively. Moreover HCTM pretreatment decreased the levels of MDA. These results showed the HCTM had the effects against the hepatotoxicity-inducing LPS in the anti-oxidation. This suggested that HCTM could be used for functional beverage.

In the oriental medicine, a mixture of herbs has been commonly used as important components to control allergic and inflammatory diseases. In the present study, we prepared a mixture of Dictamni Radicis Cortex(Baiksunpee), Houttuyniae Herba(Uhsungcho), and Aurantii Immaturus Fructus(Jisil) to examine its anti-allergic effects in activated mouse splenic cells and found that Mix-1 is involved in regulating levels of B cell activating factors (CD23 and CD11a), IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and 1gE as well as HRF expression. It was observed that Mix-1 did not have cytotoxic effects on mLFC. Mix-1 showed inhibition of CD23 and CD11 alpaha expression in mouse B cells, and also decreased the production of IL-6, TNF-α, and 1gE. Both RT-PCR and ELISA analyses indicated that IL-6 and TNF alpha production were regulated at the gene expression level. In contrast, IL-10 mRNA and protein levels were increased in activated B cells by Mix-1 treatment. We also found that Mix-1 inhibited B cell proliferation and inhibited histamine releasing factor(HRF) expression, suggesting its inhibitory effect on histamine secretion. These data indicated that Mix-1 has an anti-allergic effect in activated macrophages and further suggest the possible application of Mix-1 as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of allergy-related diseases.

The purpose of this study was to provide the basic information of making Skate pipyun made of skate skin. Test for quality characteristics of skate pipyuns seasoned with garlic, ginger, rosemary and basil were carried out. Hardness of GAR(4% of garlic and rosemary) was the highest, while that of GIB(4% of ginger and basil) was the lowest. As for the adhesiveness, springiness and cohesiveness, each specimen did not manifest significant difference. Water contents (82.43~85.56%) were no significant differences. The pipyuns added with spices and herbs were appeared weakly alkali with a range of pH 8.46~8.58. In the sensory evaluation, GIB was the most preferred in overall preference with significantly higher evaluation of flavor, savory taste, and lower fishy odor. The stability of gels decreased during storage at $10^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours, and at $20^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, and the greater was in GIB. Therefore, heating a mixture of 40% skate skin with 60% water for 10 min is recommended as optimum conditions for producing Skate pipyun.

Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze the research trends in herbal medicine as a treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD) in an animal model. Methods We conducted a search targeting papers published from 2013 onwards in Korean and English databases. The search terms were focused on "AD", "dermatitis", and "Korean medicine". Only animal experimental studies involving the oral administration of single or complex prescriptions of Korean medicine were included, whereas in vitro studies, local administration studies, and studies of specific components of Korean medicine were excluded. We searched the PubMed and Embase databases for English databases and the Science on Research Information Sharing Service (RISS) and Korean Studies Information Service System (KISS) databases for Korean studies. Results Among the herbal medicine intervention groups, the most commonly used single herbs were baekseonpi, danggui, and douchi, whereas a mixture of hwangryun and gamcho was used in three studies, making it the most frequently used combination. There were significant improvements in indicators related to the symptoms of AD and various pro-inflammatory markers. Conclusions These results indicate the efficacy of herbal medicines in the treatment of AD in animal models. However, this study had several limitations. Therefore, future systematic reviews that address these limitations and provide more comprehensive analyses are required.

Medical supplies have contradiction of efficacy and side effect to the various diseases together. Therefore, people have tried to reduce the side effects and also provide various methods to cope with any damages from the medicine quickly. In the case of accidents by medical supplies, the victim can be protected with advantage by the Product Liability Law rather than the Torts. The limit of Product Liability Law's application depends on whether medical supplies belong to the product or not. According to Product Liability Law, the product should be processed. Therefore, medical supplied should be processed to be the category of product. It can be said that the medical supplies in pharmacy, Chinese medicine, medical herbs, biological medicine manufactures, blood manufactured medicine, cord blood, hemopoietic progenitior cell and stem cell belongs to the manufactured products. The mixture by the prescription of doctor or preparation of pharmacist can be recognized as the product because prescription or preparation is a manufacturing act. Therefore, applying Product Liability Law to manufacturer, doctor or pharmacist would achieve the goal which is protecting the victims extensively.
