Objectives : Aucklandiae Radix (Muxiang) one of important herbal medicines in oriental medicine, is defined as the dried root of Aucklandia lappa (Asteraceae). Owing to the similarities in the morphology and name, Inulae Radix (Tu-Muxiang) and Vladimiriae Radix (Chuan-Muxiang) as well as Aristolochiae Radix (Qing-Muxiang) originated from other medicinal plants are often used as substitutes and/or adulterants of Aucklandiae Radix. Therefore, a reliable authentication of these herbal medicines is necessarily for the public health and prevention of misuse. Methods : 32 samples of medicinal plants supplying Aucklandiae Radix, Inulae Radix, Vladimiriae Radix, and Aristolochiae Radix were collected in Korea and China. The ITS (Internal transcribed spacer) nucleotide sequences of samples were determined. The PCR primers to amply DNA marker of each herbal medicine were designed basing on the specific ITS regions showing differences in the sequences among medicinal plants. Results : Primer set Al R/IS F designed in this work amplified 220 bp PCR product only in samples of Aucklandiae Radix. In contrast, primer set Ih F/IS R, Vs R/IS F, and AcR F1/Ac R amplified 250 bp product, 356 bp prouct, and 516 bp product respectively to identify Inulae Radix, Vladimiriae Radix, and Aristolochiae Radix. Conclusions : The primers designed basing on the nucleotide sequences of ITS regions appearing differenced in the sequences among medicinal plants amplified the DNA markers for the identification of Aucklandiae Radix, Inulae Radix, Vladimiriae Radix, and Aristolochiae Radix. These herbal medicines were more efficiently identified by multiplex PCR method using all primers in a single PCR process.

It has been known that Gentianae macrophyllae Radix is reputed to be effective in removal of 'Pungseub' and 'Heoyeol', and to be analgesic. Since ancient times, however, there have been many examples of substituting Lycoctoni Radix for Gentianae macrophyllae Radix. For that reason, this experiment was conducted to compare the diuretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, anti-bacterial effect, and toxicity of Lycoctoni Radix with those of Gentianae macrophyllae Radix. The results obtained in this work were summarized as follows; In the test of acute toxicity, Lycoctoni Radix was found to be toxic in comparison to Gentianae macrophyllae Radix which was found to be non-toxic. Both herbs were found to be diuretic and Gentianae macrophyllae Radix was more effective than the other and to be ineffective for the blood pressure and respiration. Lycoctoni Radix was found to be more analgesic than the other. Gentianae macrophyllae Radix was found to be more anti-inflammatory of the two and both demonstrated anti-pyretic effect. Anti-bacterial effect was detected only in Lycoctoni Radix. It is concluded that Gentianae macrophyllae Radix has mild diuretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic effect, but Lycoctoni Radix, due to its toxicity, can not be substituted for Gentianae macrophyllae Radix.

Objectives: This study aimed for establishing the discriminative criteria for Aucklandiae Radix, Inulae Radix, Vladimiriae Radix and Aristolochiae Radix, which can be confused as 'Mokhyang', because of similar appearances and synonyms. Methods: Morphological characteristics of dried herbal medicines were compared by macroscopic observation. To examine microscopic features of 'Mokhyang', paraffin embedding and the staining by using Ju's method were conducted. Physicochemical experiments were performed using HPLC analysis and antioxidant assay. Results: The types of stem, phyllotaxy and leaf shape were chosen as macroscopic criteria and the size, oil spots, color and root top as well as phloem and central cylinder were compared using microscopic features. The HPLC results showed different amounts of costunolide and dehydrocostuslactone among Aucklandiae Radix, Inulae Radix and Vladimiriae Radix. However, Aristolochiae Radix only contained aristolochic acid. The antioxidant assays also showed that Vladimiriae Radix exhibited strongest antioxidant activity followed by Aucklandiae Radix, Inulae Radix and Aristolochiae Radix. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that macroscopic, microscopic and physicochemical methods would be useful tools for the discrimination of 4 kinds of 'Mokhyang'.

In order to evaluate the direct effect of estrogenic compounds in oriental herbal medicines, the estrogenic activity was measured using an in vitro detection system. For this system, human breast cancer cell line MCF7 was transfected using an estrogen responsive CAT reporter plasmid. Estrogenic activities of Platycodi radix, Astragali radix and Glycyrrhizae radix were evaluated using this system. Estrogenic activity of a 500 ㎍/ml ethanol extract of Platycodi radix was as same as that of a 10/sup -8/ M standard solution (17β-estradiol) and activity of a 50 ㎍/ml ethanol extract was between those of a 10/sup -8/ M and a 10/sup -9/ M standard solutions. In addition, estrogenic activity of a 50 ㎍/ml ethanol extract of Platycodi radix was as same as that of a 10/sup -10/ M standard solution. The same activity patterns were observed in the system which was treated by Astragali radix or Glycyrrhizae radix extracts. The most effective activity was observed in a system which was treated by Platycodi radix extract, but the least activity was observed by Glycyrrhizae radix extract. In this result, it was confirmed that Platycodi radix, Astragali radix and Glycyrrhizae radix extracts possess estrogenic compounds.

This paper is about a high-speed MAC (multiplier and accumulator) design applying radix-4 and radix-8 Booth's algorithm at the same time. The optimized hybrid radix design for high speed MAC has taken advantage of both a radix-4 and a radix-8 architectures. A radix-4 architecture meets high-speed, but it takes much more power and chip area than a radix-8 architecture. A radix-8 architecture needs less power and chip area than the other, but it has a bottleneck of generating three times the multiplicand problem. An optimized hybrid architecture performs the radix-4 multiplication partially in parallel with the generation of three times the multiplicand for use of the radix-8 multiplication. It reduces the concerned bit width of multiplier in radix-8 multiplication.

이 논문에서는 고속 FFT 구현을 위한 Radix-8 구조를 제안한다. 제안 FFT 구조의 핵심은 Radix-8 DIF(Decimation In Frequency) 나비연산기 구조이다. Radix-8 알고리즘은 고속처리는 가능하나 구현면적이 증가하는 단점이 있는데, 제안 구조는 곱셈연산을 DA(Distributed Arithmetic) 방식을 사용하여 구현함으로써 구현 면적이 증가하는 것을 줄일 수 있었다. 64-point FFT에 대하여 기존의 Radix-4 나비연산기와 제안된 Radix-8 나비연산기를 각각 사용하여 구현한 결과 구현면적이 49.2%가 증가하였다. 즉, Throughput을 2배로 증가시키기 위하여 하드웨어는 49.2%만 증가함을 Verilog-HDL 코딩을 통하여 확인하였다. 또한 기존 구조와 제안 구조가 같은 Throughput을 얻는 경우에는 전력소모가 25.4%가 감소하게 된다. 따라서 제안된 나비연산기를 사용하는 FFT 구조는 고속/저전력 FFT를 필요로하는 OFDM용 통신단말기에 사용될 수 있다.

To analyze scientifically the prescription principle of polyprescriptions (Gamchotang, Daewhanggamchotang, Jakyakgamchotang, Gamchogungangtang and Gilkyungtang) containing Glycyrrhizae Radix, the transforming rate of glycyrrhizin in these polyprescriptions to 18 ${\beta}-glycyrrhetinic$ acid and their inhibitory effect on ${\beta}-glucuronidase$, hyaluronidase, phosphodiesterase and trypsin were investigated. When Glycyrrhizae Radix containing polyprescriptions were extracted with water, the contents of glycyrrhizin in water extract of Glycyrrhizae Radix with Rhei Rhizoma or with Zingiberis Rhizoma were higher than that of Glycyrrhizae Radix only, but that in water extract of Glycyrrhizae Radix with Platicodi Radix was lower than that of Glycyrrhizae Radix only. By human intestinal bacteria, glycyrrhizin was metabolized to 18 ${\beta}-glycyrrhetinic$ acid. These metabolism of glycyrrhizin in polyprescriptions containing Glycyrrhizae Radix was inhibited by Rhei Rhizoma, Paeoniae Radix and Platicodi Radix, but was not affected by Zingiberis Rhizoma. The inhibitory activity of Glycyrrhizae Radix on hyaluronidase and ${\beta}-glucuronidase$, was synergistic with Rhei Rhizoma or Zingiberis Rhizoma, but was antagonistic by Platicodi Radix.
