Purpose: This study was performed to identify the effects of oriental herbal tea on the brain function elders at the day care center and the nursing home. Methods: This study used a pre-post quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. Total 38 of elderly population (20 of experimental group and 18 of control group) was recruited. 100 mL of a type of oriental herbal tea developed for purpose of this study was given to each subject 3 times a day for 30 days (from May to Jun 2013). The brain function quotient was used to measure brain function. The data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 18.0. Results: After drinking the oriental herbal tea, more significant improvement on attention quotient (AQ), anti-stress quotient (ASQ), emotion quotient (EQ) and brain quotient (BQ) were found in the experimental group than control group. Conclusion: This study shows that oriental herbal tea can be a health promotion option in elders. Therefore the tea can be utilized as an effective intervention for the health of elders in health facilities.

평균수명이 연장되면서 노인인구비율 증가와 함께 각종 노인성 질환이 증가하고 있다. 노인성 질환을 대상으로 한약재를 이용한 치료적 접근위주의 연구는 시도되고 있으나, 건강관리 차원에서 예방적 접근방법으로 한방건강 음료로서의 한방차에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 본 연구는 노인요양시설을 이용하는 노인을 대상으로 한방차의 섭취가 생리적 기능과 행동변화에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위한 비동등성 대조군 전후 설계의 유사 실험연구이다. 대상자는 실험군 20명, 대조군 18명으로 총 38명이었다. 2013년 5월부터 6월까지 1회 100ml씩, 일 3회, 30일간 본 연구에서 개발한 한방차를 적용하였고, 양자분석기로 생리적 기능을, 구조화된 설문지로 행동변화를 측정하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 실험군에서 생리적 기능 중 혈류순환(t=-4.466, p<.001), 간기능(t=-2.855, p=.007), 뇌기능(t=-2.545, p=.015), 골밀도(t=-6.125, p<.001), 혈당(t=-4.180, p=<.001)과 행동변화의 하위지수인 정서적 요인(t=2.389, p=.023)에서 유의한 변화가 나타났다. 따라서 노인의 생리적 기능 향상과 정서적 안정에 긍정적인 효과가 나타난 한방차의 음용은 노인요양시설에서 노인 건강을 위한 효과적인 중재 방법으로 활용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

This research evaluated how the composition of Yak-sun(oriental diet therapy), taken as a nutritional supplement with daily meals, can effect the medical condition of those suffering from modern diseases like obesity and hyperlipideia. We produced Yak-sun tea, determined its nutrient composition and physical characteristics and evaluated how this tea effects affects the active oxygen concentration inside the body by clinical practices. The study results indicated that this tea significantly decrease active oxygen concentration. We think that scientific and objective evaluation was done on the components of Yak-sun tea prescription. We concluded that we could apply the components not only in the form of tea, but also in other food forms. The information we received from this conclusion will provide basic information for the application of oriental medicinal resources into other foods and will also be a steppingstone in the field of functional food research for the development of medicinal herbs which is already an important research field world-wide.

Objectives : This research was performed to investigate the effect of herbal acupuncture(Ephedra sinica and Green tea) at Umnungchon(SP9) and Pungnyung(ST40) on weight gain, food intakes, food efficiency ratios, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acid on rats fed high fat diet for 5weeks. Methods : Experimental groups were divided into normal group(Sham), high fat diet group(Con), high fat diet and Ephedra sinica-herbal acupuncture in SP9 ST40 treated group(ES), high fat diet and Green tea-herbal acupuncture in SP9 ST40 treated group (GT), high fat diet and Ephedra sinica+Green tea-herbal acupuncture in SP9 ST40 treated group(ES+GT). Herbal acupuncture was bilaterally treated at the level of 19.125mg/ml per 2 days during 5 weeks. Results : Body weight, feed intake and feed efficiency ratio were decreased in Sham, ES, ES+GT, compared with control group. The level of serum HDL-cholesterol was increased in sham, tender to increase in ES, ES+GT. The change on that of serum triglyceride was decreased in sham, ES, ES+GT and free fatty acid was decrease in sham, ES+GT. Conclusions : Ephedra sinica with Green tea-herbal acupuncture in SP9 ST40 can control the Body weight, feed intake and feed efficiency ratio, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acid.

The aqueous Green tea comes to be used with the Oriental medicine plant, it has the numerous health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti- carcinogenic properties. Epidermal progenitor cells give rise to multiple skin lineages: hair follicle, sebaceous gland and the overlying interfollicular epidermis. Sebocytes are the cells of the sebaceous gland, which synthesize and accumulate lipid dropolets. In order to determine the effect of Green tea on lipid production, several experiments were performed in SZ95 cells (sebocytes). We found that Green tea increased lipid droplets compared with control in a dose-dependent manner. Human sebaceous glands produce sebum, a lipid mixture of squalene, wax esters, triglycerides, cholesterol esters, and free fatty acids that is secreted onto the skin. Therefore, to investigate the effects of Green tea on intracellular lipid levels, we treated SZ95 cells with Green tea, and then examined cholesterol and triglyceride levels. After treatment of the cells with Green tea, the cholesterol and triglyceride levels of SZ95 cells were increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective : This research was performed to investigate the effect of herbal acupuncture(Atratylodes japonica, Coix lachrymajobi, Ephedra sinica, Atratylodes japonica mixed with Coix lachrymajobi and Ephedra sinica mixed with Green tea) at Pungnyung(ST40) and Umnungchon(SP9) on weight gain, food intake, food efficiency, serum of lipid concentrations, liver function and HDL to total cholesterol ratio of rats fed high fat diet for 5weeks. Method : Experimental groups were divided into normal group(Normal), high fat diet group(Control), high fat diet and Atractylodes japonica-herbal acupuncture group(AJ), high fat diet and Coix lachrymajobi-herbal acupuncture group(CL), high fat diet and Ephedra sinica-herbaI acupuncture group(ES), high fat diet and Atractylodes japonica+Coix lachrymajobi-herbal acupuncture group(AJ+CL), Ephedra sinica+Green tea-herbal acupuncture group(ES+GT). Herbal acupuncture was bilaterally treated at the level of 132.5mg/kg body weight per 2day. Results : Body weight and food efficiency were decreased in AJ, ES, AJ+CL, ES+GT. The level of serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and free fatty acid were increased in AJ, ES, ES+GT. That of serum HDL-cholesterol was increased in AJ. The change of food intake, the level of serum phospholipid and ALP were not significant. The HDL to Total cholesterol ratio was increased in AJ and ES. Conclusion : Atractylodes japonica-herbal acupuncture in ST40 SP9 is effective on Body weight, food efficiency ratio, the level of serum lipid, protection of liver function and prevention cardiovascular risk by obesity induced by high fat diet. Herbal acupuncture mixed Ephedra sinica with Green tea can control the body weight, food efficiency ratio and the level of serum lipid.

차는 세계적으로 인기있는 음료로 불발효차(녹차), 반발효차(우롱차), 완전발효차(홍차)와 흑차(미생물발효차 or 후발효차)를 포함하고 구분된다. 미생물발효차는 차나무(Camellia sinensis)의 잎을 미생물 발효과정을 통해 제조된다. 삼국시대부터 전해 내려온 청태전은 한국 남해안지역에서 제조되며 돈차 또는 떡차로 불리는 독창적인 한국의 미생물발효차이다. 본 연구에서는 청태전에 우점하는 미생물군집구조 분석을 위해 16S rRNA 유전자를 이용하였다. 청태전에 우점하는 미생물은 ${\gamma}$-proteobacteria에 속하는 Pantoea sp.와 Klebsiella oxytoca가 우점하였다. 미생물 군집크기 분석을 통해 청태전의 미생물 군집크기가 다른 미생물발효차와 비교해 가장 큰 것을 확인하였다.

The effects of aqueous extracts from Korean commercial teas on excessive free radicals were examined utilizing spin trapping, 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and lipid peroxidation. A potent scavenging effect of green tea and oriental senna tea was dound using sipin trapping. The most effective teasagainst the DPPH radical was green tea, followed inorder by pine leak tea, Chinese gutta percha tea and orietnal senna tea. Similar to the effects of DPPH radical , green tea, pine leaf tea, Chinese gutta percha tea and oriential senna tea had an inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation. These findings predict that Korean tea is a promising material for scavenging free radicals, and for curing diseases related to free-radical reactions.
