This research was planned and executed to evaluate how the composition of Yack-sun (oriental diet therapy) tea can effect the health conditions of people who are suffering from diet-related diseases such as being overweight, obese and hyperlipidemic, by taking Yack-sun tea in a form of nutritional supplement with daily meals. We produced Kangjieum with Lycense Mill., Polygonum multflorum Thunb, Cassia tora L., Crataegus pinnatifida Bge and Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge. We evaluated the effects of this tea on serum lipids, on homocysteine concentration, and on active oxygen contents, oxidative stress by clinical practices. We have determined that this tea has a significant effect on decreasing body fat content, decreasing total cholesterol, decreasing LDL-cholesterol, and decreses triglyceride and homocysteine concentrations. In addition, blood active oxygen content and oxidative stress were significantly decreased. We think that scientific and objective evaluation was performed on the components of Kangjieum prescription. We concluded that we could apply the components, not only in a form of tea, but also in other forms of various foods. The information we received from this conclusion will be basic information on how we can apply oriental medicinal resources into other food and will be a steppingstone for medicinal herbs to place a foot in the field of functional food research, which already draws sizable attention world-wide.

Purpose : Nowadays, there are many studies of growth retardation treatment by oriental medical therapy. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of Hwalhyulsungjang-san (Huoxuechengzhang-san) and KC101 on physical development in growth, Methods : 60 young (3 weeks old) male rats, whose mean weight was $46.8{\pm}0,7g$, were divided into 5 groups : groups A, B, C, and D were fed an experimental diet containing respectively Hwalhyulsungjang-san 2.5%, Hwalhyulsungjang-san 7.5%, KC101 5.0%, and KC101 10.0%, and the other group were fed an AIN-diet containing neither Hwalhyulsungjang-san nor KC101 as a control. Study of each group used 2 rats and was repeated in 6 times. Body weight, daily weight gain, dietary intake, body length, femur length, backbone length and serum concentration of IGF-I and hemoglobin were measured. Result : 1. Body weight and daily weight gain of group D (KC101 10%) were highest; dietary intake of group D was also increased by 13% over the control group. 2. Average body length of group D was increased to 1.69cm, which was 3.2% over the control group. Backbone length of group D was also increased 4% compared to control group. 3. Serum concentration of IGF-I of group D increased 17% compared to control group. 4. Serum concentration of hemoglobin of group B (Hwalhyulsungjang-san 7.5%) increased 8% compared to control group. Conclusion : This study showed that Hwalhyulsungjang-san and KC101 composed of oriental medicinal stuffs have effect on physical development in growing rats. There were not any statistical meaning compared to control group, but this study suggests that intake of these compounds from a young age may lead to increase physical development in growth.

The condition contrary to the physiological conditions obtained by the normal functioning of seven constituents of the body is defined as disease. The primary causes of the disease are emotional defilements of desire, hatred and delusion. The secondary causes of diseases are seasonal climatic changes, the agency of harmful demons, and improper diet or conduct. Once a disease occurs, it brings the disfunctioning of the three humors of wind, bile, and phlegm. Therefore all the disease should be examined and determined which of theses three humors effect its nature the most. There are five main techniques of external therapy, namely bloodletting, which extract the impure blood produced by disease of heat; moxibustion, which debilitates cold diseases, medicinal compresses, fomentation, massage with ointment, and minor surgery. Among these, the former three are the mild treatment and the latter three the severe ones because of the pain the patient has to suffer during the whole procedure.

This study was penonned to provide basic data that predict the usefulness of Gastrodiae rhizoma as food materials for oriental medicinal cuisine(YakSun). We measured the changes of regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) and blood pressure(BP) in rats, following the intravenous injection of Gastrodiae rhizoma water extract The measurement was continually monitored by laser-doppler flowmeter and pressure transducer in anesthetized adult Sprague-Dawley rats for about two to two and half hours through the data acquisition system composed of MacLab and Macintosh computer. The results of this experiment were as follows. Gastrodiae rhizoma increased the changes of rCBF in rats significantly. The rCBF of Gastrodiae rhizoma did not change by pretreated propranolol, atropin, methylene blue and indomethacin. But the rCBF of Gastrodiae rhizoma was increased by pretreated L-NNA. Gastrodiae rhizaoma decreased the changes of BP significantly. The BP of Gastrodiae rhizoma did not change by pretreated propranolol, atropin, methylene blue and indomethacin. But the BP of Gastrodiae rhizoma was decreased by pretreated L-NNA. These results indicated that Gastrodiae rhizoma might increase the rCBF and the BP which related to nitric oxide synthesis. Also these results indicate that Gastrodiae rhizoma can be used as a safe and clinically applicable to diet therapy of cerebral cardiovascular disease.

Insamsokmieum (人蔘粟米飮), which is a kind of water gruels made with millet, ginseng, glutinous rice, and some minor ingredients, was frequently used as a medicinal food for the royal family, and it appeared first at the 10th year of King Sukjong's reign. We investigated Insamsokmieum through a literature review and the "SeungjeongwonIlgi(承政院日記)" of King Sukjong (肅宗) from his 1st year (1674) to 46th year (1720). We analyzed the nutritional value and efficacy of Insamsokmieum. In Oriental medicine, Insamsokmieum is prescribed mainly to treat symptoms such as nausea, languidness, and exhaustion in King Sukjong and Queen Inhyun (仁顯王后). In nutritional terms, Insamsokmieum has higher nutrition density than that of rice porridges (白粥) and has relatively high vitamin and mineral contents. Some nutrients such as leucine and glutamic acid, which are contained in the millet, are also known to help alleviate these symptoms. Whereas there have been studies on the efficacy and types of diet during the Joseon Dynasty, studies regarding nutrition characteristics are lacking. This study will demonstrate the superiority of dietary treatments of the Joseon Dynasty and their potential for application to modern nutrition.

본 연구는 식이 습관병 예방을 위한 건강식품을 개발하기 위한 기초 연구로써 계획되어 선행 연구와 문헌상의 기록을 바탕으로 한 천마의 여러 기능 중 혈류 개선 효과에 중점을 두고 그 기능을 과학적으로 확인하여 보고자 하였다 즉, 쌀뜨물을 주로하여 소화 흡수 및 면역력의 증강을 기대할 수 있고 독성 성분을 제거할 수 있으며, 더불어 활혈(活血) 및 청열량혈(靑熱凉血)기능을 가지는 천궁과 이수(利水) 및 안신(安神)작용을 하는 복령을 포제에 함께 이용하여 뇌혈류와심혈관 기능을 증진시키고자 하였다. 따라서 흰쥐를 대상으로 Laser-Doppler flowmeter system(LDF)을 이용하여 천마가 국소 뇌혈류량과 혈압에 미치는 효과를 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 천마를 0.1mg/kg, 1.0mg/kg 및 10.0 mg/kg 농도로 주사 시 농도 의존적으로 국소 뇌혈류량이 증가되었다. 2. 천마가 국소 뇌혈류량을 증가시키는 기전을 확인하기 위해 propranolol, atropine, methylene blue, indomethacin으로 전처리한 후 천마를 주사했을 때는 국소뇌혈류량에 유의한 변화를 관찰할 수 없었으나, anti-nitric oxide synthetase를 전처리한 후 천마를 주사했을 때는 국소 뇌혈류량이 유의적으로 증가함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 3. 천마를 0.1 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg 및 10.0 mg/kg 농도로 주사 시 농도 의존적으로 혈압이 저하되었다. 4. 천마가 어떤 기전으로 혈압의 변화를 초래하는지를 확인하기 위해 propranolol, atropine, methylene blue, indomethacin으로 전처리한 후 천마를 주사했을 때는 혈압에 유의한 변화를 관찰할 수 없었으나 anti-nitric oxide synthetase로 전처리한 후 천마를 주사했을 때에는 혈압이 유의적으로 저하되는 변화가 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 포제 천마는 뇌혈류량을 증가시키고 혈압을 강하시키는 작용이 있음을 확인하였고, 그 기전은 nitric oxide 생성과 관련되어 나타나는 결과로 판단된다. 따라서 혈관 질환을 포함한 식이 습관병과 관계된 질환의 예방 및 치료의 보조 식이물로써 활용이 가능하다고 판단되며, 향후 포제 천마를 이용한 건강식품을 개발하고 완제품에 대한 유효성에 대한 연구를 수행할 때 기초 자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
