  • Herbal medicines are medicinal products containing a single or a mixture of two or more different herbal substances or herbal preparations as active principles. Recently, much attention has been paid to developing various kinds of fermented herbal extracts, a new type of traditional herbal medicine in the field of Korean traditional medicine. The fermentation of medicinal herbs is intended to exert a favorable influence on bioestability, bioavaliablilty and pharmacological activity of herbal extract in the gastrointestinal tract as well as intensifying the nutritional and pharmacological aspects of the medicinal herbs. The purpose of this study was to investigate biological activities of fermented Rehmanniae Radix by lactic acid bacteria at $30^{\circ}C$ for 3 days in comparison with those for Rehmanniae Radix The fermented Rehmanniae Radix exhibited different chemical profile to Rehmanniae Radix generated with HPLC, indicating production of new ingredients during fermentation. Rehmanniae Radix served as good nutritional sources for the growth of lactic acid bacteria showing increased number of bacteria during fermentation. Toxic effect of the fermented Rehmanniae Radix to cells were not seen judged by the MTT assay. The fermented Rehmanniae Radix exhibited better antioxidant effect than non-fermented Rehmanniae Radix analyzed by a SOD-likely assay. Both hypoglycemic and hypotensive effects of the fermented Rehmanniae Radix were also detected and better than those for Rehmanniae Radix in showing dose-dependent inhibitory effects on alpha-glucosidase and ACE, respectively. In conclusion, fermented Rehmanniae Radix appears to have more biological activities than non-feremented Rehmanniae Radix showing not only antioxidant effect but also cardiovascular protection.

  • 남극 킹조지섬 포케이드 빙하의 저면 지형과 내부 모습을 규명하기 위해서 2006년 11월에 4개 조사측선을 따라 헬리콥터 및 지상 레이다(GPR) 탐사를 실시하였다. 혼합위상인 단채널 지상 GPR 자료에 적용한 신호 역대합, f-k 구조보정 속도분석, 유한차분 깊이구조보정 등의 처리과정을 통하여 수직 분해능 향상, 속도함수 추출, 선명한 깊이영상 작성 등을 효과적으로 수행하였다. 헬리콥터 GPR 자료의 경우, 구조보정속도는 공기와 얼음의 2층모델을 가정한 평균제곱근속도로 구하였다. GPR 단연은 울퉁불퉁한 빙저면, 빙하 내부의 미끄러짐면, 운집된 산란잡음 등의 특징적 모습을 보여준다. 기반암까지의 최대 깊이는 포케이드 빙하와 목지들로우스키 빙하 사이의 경계능선 남동사면에 인접한 빙하 골짜기에서 79 m가 넘는다. 빙하 기저수 위에 복잡한 형태의 굴과 수 m의 폭을 갖는 독립된 빈 공간들의 존재를 지상 GPR 자료로부터 해석하였다. 빙하 중단 부근의 GPR 영상은 포토소만의 빙산 형성기작과 관련된 미끄러짐면, 단열, 단층 등의 구조를 보여준다.

  • The chemical formula of indapamide is 3-(aminosulfonyl)-4-chloro-N-(2,3-dihydro-2-methyl-1H-indol-l-yl)-benzamide, Indapamide is an oral antipertensive diuretic agent indicated for the treatment of hypertensive and edema. Indapamide inhibits carbonic anhydrase enzyme. Transdermal drug delivery systems, as compared to their corresponding classical oral or injectable dosage form counterparts, offer many advantages. The most important advantages are improved systemic bioavailability of the pharmaceutical active ingredients (PAI), because the first-pass metabolism by the liver and digestive system are avoided; and the controlled, constant drug delivery profile (that is, controlled zero-order absorption). Also of importance is the reduced dose frequency compared to the conventional oral dosage forms (that is, once-a-day, twice-a-week or once-a-week). Other benefits include longer duration of therapeutic action from a single application, and reversible action. For example, patches can be removed to reverse any adverse effects that may be caused by overdosing. In order to evaluate the effects of vehicles and penetration enhancers on skin permeation of Indapamide, the skin permeation rates of Indapamide from vehicles of different composition were determined using Franz cells fitted with excised hairless skins. Solubility of Indapamide in various solvents was investigated to select a vehicle suitable for the percutaneous absorption of Indapamide, The solvents used were Tween80, Tween20, Labrasol, Lauroglycol90 (LG90) and Peceol. Lauroglycol90 increase the permeability of indapamide approximately 3.75-fold compared with the control. Tween80, Tween20, Labrasol, Lauroglycol90 (LG90) and Peceol showed flux of $0.06ug/cm^2/hr,\;0.4ug/cm^2/hr,\;0.21ug/cm^2/hr,\;0.72ug/cm^2/hr,\;0.29ug/cm^2/hr$, respectively.
