  • Total cholesterol level in mice with hypercholesterolemia was determined after intraperitoneal administration of the methanolic extract of some medicinal plants. From the data obtained, it was suggested that the methanolic extract of Elaeagnus crispa, Ixeris dentata, Prunus davidiana, Eriobotrya japonice, Aralia elata and Phragmites communis produced a significant hypocholesterotemic effect. In the case of the extract of Saussurea diamantiaca, on the other band, the total cholesterol level was markedly increased. The methanolic extract of Ixeris dentata, Prunus davidiana and Phragmites communes also decreased the level of blood glucose in alloxan-diabetic male albino mice while that of Eriobotrya japonica, Allium tuberosum, Houttuynia cordata and Eucommia japonica did not produce this effect.

  • To study the chlorophyll contents and photosynthetic characteristics of 4 tree species of deciduous hardwoods; Betula platyphylla var. japonica, Zelkova serrata, Acer mono and Prunus sargentii were treated in 3 stages of shading; the full sun treatment, the medium shade treatment with 30% of transmittance comparing to full sun, the intense shade treatment with 8% of transmittance and their changes in chlorophyll contents and photosynthetic characteristics were examined and analyzed. Most hardwoods showed differences in the total chlorophyll contents in the order of May < September < July, however, that in Prunus sargentii increased progressively along with the lapse of time. Concerning the degree of shading, total chlorophyll contents increased in proportion to the level of shading. Betula platyphylla var. japonica and Prunus sargentii showed more than 2-3 times difference between the full sun treatment and the intense shade treatment. The changes in photosynthetic characteristics, the range of the light saturation point of the trees was $1,000{\sim}1,100{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ in May, before the shading was applied, and the intensity was shown in the order of Betula platyphylla var. japonica > Zelkova serrata > Acer mono > Prunus sargentii. The photosynthetic rate was $6.4{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}{\sim}27.1{\mu}mol{\cdot}CO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ in the order of Betula platyphylla var. japonica > Prunus sargentii > Acer mono > Zelkova serrata that there were differences between species. Concerning the changes in light saturation point in each growth period after shading treatment, the light saturation point in the full sun treatment was found in the range of $560{\sim}1,100{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and the level of intensity was shown in the order of May > July > September. The light saturation point decreased as the level of shading intensified and the level of changes in light compensation point in the full sun treatment for Betula platyphylla var. japonica and Prunus sargentii was shown in the range of $2.9{\sim}27.1{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ in the order of May > July > September, however, for Zelkova serrata and Acer mono was shown in the range of $3.9{\sim}11.7{\mu}mol{\cdot}CO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ in the order of July > May > September that there were differences between species.

  • The antibacterial activity-guided fractionation of the MeOH extract of seeds of traditional medicinal plant Prunus japonica resulted in the isolation of linoleic acid and cis-11-eicosenoic acids, and their methyl esters. Linoleic acid inhibited the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, the acne-causing anaerobic bacterium, but cis-11-eicosenoic acid, methyl linoleate, and cis-11-eicosenoate were found to be inactive. Together with isolated linoleic acid, authentic saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were also tested against P. acnes with other bacteria and fungi. Most of the unsaturated fatty acids possessed anti-acne (MIC $16-128{\mu}g/mL$) and antimicrobial properties.

In terms of flower color based on KBS standard color number, 83 species were white, 44 species wer red, 21 species were yellow, 12 species were violet, and 3 species were green. 6. In terms of the flower color by month. Hamamelis japonica was yellow February. Flower colors in March were : yellow-7 species, red-3 species and white-5 species. Flower colors in April were : White-21 species, red-19 species and yellow-6 species. Flower colors in May were : White-36 species, red-16 species. The white flowers in June were 16 species. Flower colors in July were : white-4 species, red-4 species. 7. The white flower color of woody landscape plants of trees was 35 species. The red flower color was 18 species, yellow flower color was 5 species, violet flower color was 2 species, and green flower color was 3 species. Also the white flower color of woody landscape plants of shrubs was 48 species, red flower color was 25 species, yellow flower color was 17 species and violet flower color was 10 species. 8. The new 'Cultivars' of woody landscape plants are needed to introduced the development of planting design. 9. Present data of illustrated books of plants should be checked by new data that was studied in this research.

  • 수종의 한약계를 70% 메탄올로 추출하여 식중독 세균인 Staphylococcus aureus에 대한 항균활성으로 생균수의 측정, 생육저해환의 측정, 최소저해농도와 최소사멸농도를 조사한 결과 이들 추출물의 Staphylococcus aureus에 대한 항균활성의 크기는 Rubus coreanus > Sanguisorba officinalis > Eriobotrya japonica > Prunus mume > Crataegus pinnatifida로 나타났다. 생육저해환은 복분자가 16.5 mm, 지유 14.3 mm, 오매 14.0 mm, 산사 12.7 mm로 측정되었다. MIC는 지유가 5mg / ml로 가장 낮았으며, MBC는 복분자가 10mg / ml로 나타났다. 실험에 사용된 한약재 추출물중 복분자, 비파엽, 산사, 오매, 지유는 Staphylococcus aureus에 대해서 강한 항균활성을 나타내었다. 따라서 이들 추출물을 이용한 천연보존료를 개발하여 식품에 적용한다면 그 기대효과가 상당히 클 것으로 생각된다.

  • 오매 추출물 첨가 사료의 투여가 양식 뱀장어의 비특이적 면역 반응에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 뱀장어의 혈청 내 lysozyme의 활성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났고, 점액 내 lysozyme 및 혈청의 살균능에 있어서는 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 혈청 내 lysozyme의 활성은 추출물 첨가 사료 투여 후 2주째에 증가하기 시작하여 5주째에 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 어류 병원성 세균인 Edwardsiella tarda와 Aeromonas hydrophila 균에 대한 저항성 실험에 서 오매 추출물 첨가 사료을 투여한 실험구가 대조구에 비해 세균에 대한 저항성이 높게 나타났다. 또한 오매 추출물 첨가 사료를 투여한 실험구에서 대조구에 비해 성장이 좋게 나타났다.

  • 우리는 우리 지방에 자생하면서 기후풍토에 적응된 아름답고 진귀한 많은 야생 화목류와 교목류 등을 부존하고 있으면서도 이들을 연구 개발하지 않고 주로 도업종과 재배종에만 의존하고 있는 것이 오늘의 현실이다. 그러므로, 국내외의 관광객이 요구하는 즉, 강원도는 물론 우리나라 고유의 정취와 이미지를 줄 수 있는 많은 야생종들을 연구, 개발하여 조경식물화시켜 대량으로 번식시키는 동시에 일반 재배화함으로써 향토색 짙은 관광한국을 만들어 관광사업의 근본목표인 경제적 효용을 다하기 위해 매우 개발가치가 있는 교목류 37종과 관목류 73종의 특성, 재배법, 용도 등을 조사하였다.

  • The aim of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant efficacies between extracts of Prunus yedoensis(PY) and Betulae platyphyllae var. japonica(BP). HPLC pattern was different between barks and extract solvents. Content of total phenolic compound was the highest in ethanol extract of BP(382.201 mg/g ext.) and its content was 1.9 times higher than that from the water extract of PY. Total antioxidant efficacy also was the highest in ethanol extract of BP (292 copper reducing equivalents). Nitric oxide scavenging activity was almost 70% in ethanol extract of BP treated 200 ug/ml and it was higher than positive control(ascorbic acid). DPPH radical scavenging ability was up by 80% in all samples. ABTS cation decolorization from each barks was activated over 85% in all samples at 100 ug/ml concentration, especially, the activity was the highest (94.4%) in ethanol extract of BP. Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities were also highest (45%) in ethanol extract of BP at 200 ug/ml concentration and were as high as positive control. Stimulation of the macrophages RAW 264.7 cells with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increased intracellular ROS levels and ethanol extract of BP at 200 ug/ml concentration reduced ROS levels up to 41 %. The results indicated that the barks of PY and BP has potent antioxidant activities and ethanol extract of BP of them has the highest antioxidant activities.
