The sensory and mechanical characteristics of muffin using different levels (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100％) of Glycyrrhiza radix extract were investigated. The lightness of crust and crumb of the muffins were significantly (p〈0.05) decreased, but the redness was increased with increasing content of Glycyrrhizae radix extract. The mechanical texture parameters, such as hardness, gumminess and chewiness, were significantly (p〈0.05) low in the groups with 40∼80％ Glycyrrhizae radix extract. With regard to the sensory evaluation, a brown crust, yellow crumbs, surface roughness, Glycyrrhizae radix flavor, roasted nutty taste, sweetness, bitterness and springiness of the muffins were significantly increases with increasing content of Glycyrrhizae radix extract. However, the hardness was significantly (p〈0.05) low without the addition of Giycyrrhizae radix extract, the overall acceptability was excellent in the group with the addition of 60％ Glycyrrhizae radix extract. As a result, with the addition of Glycyrrhizae radix extract to the muffin, the sensory and mechanical properties were improved therefore, Glycyrrhizae radix extract could be prepared as a useful functional additive to sugar free muffins.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-cancer effects of Sophorae Radix and the effects of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (HT-29). We used human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, HT-29 cells. We examined cell death by MTT assay and caspase 3 assay with Sophorae Radix. To examine the inhibitory effects of Sophorae Radix, cell cycle (sub G1) analysis was done the HT-29 cells after three days with Sophorae Radix. The reversibility of Sophorae Radix was examined on one day to five days treatment with $150{\mu}g$ Sophorae Radix. Sophorae Radix inhibited the growth of HT-29 cells in a dose-dependent fashion. Also we showed that Sophorae Radix induced apoptosis in HT-29 cells by MTT assay, caspase 3 assay and sub-G1 analysis. Sophorae Radix combined with 5-FU markedly inhibited the growth of HT-29 cells compared to Sophorae Radix or 5-FU alone. After 3 days treatment of HT-29 cells with Sophorae Radix, the fraction of cells in sub-G1 phase was much higher than that of the control group. Our findings provide insight into unraveling the effects of Sophorae Radix in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells and developing therapeutic agents against colorectal cancer.

Objectives : To investigate the immunological activities, we evaluated the combination ratio of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata and Glycyrrhizae Radix (AG) on murine macrophage cell line (RAW 264.7) and ovalbumin/aluminium (OVA/Alum)-immunized mice. Methods : The cellular proliferation and the production of nitric oxide were examined in a macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 cells, in the presence of the combination ratio of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata and Glycyrrhizae Radix. C57BL/6 mice were immunized intraperitonially with ovalbumin/aluminium ($100{\mu}g/200{\mu}g$) on day 1, 8, and 15. The combination ratio of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata and Glycyrrhizae Radix (1 g/kg/day) was orally administrated for 3 weeks. On day 22, splenocyte and plasma were collected for mitogen-induced proliferation, lymphocyte subpopulation by flow cytometry and measurement of AST (Aspirate aminotransferase), ALT (Alanine aminotransferase), and antibodies (OVA-specific antibodies of the IgG, IgG1, and total IgM classes). Results : Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata treatment had no influence on immune responses. The proliferation and NO production of macrophage and proliferation of splenocyte were increased as the higher ratio of Glycrrhizae Radix. The proliferation of splenocyte, lymphocyte subpopulation and production of antibody (total IgM, OVA-specific IgG and OVA-specific IgG1) were increased as the higher ratio of Glycrrhizae Radix on OVA-immunzed mice. Conclusions : These results suggest that the higher ratio of Glycyrrhizae Radix can increase immunological activities such as NO production in RAW264.7 cells, splenocyte proliferation and immunoglobulin production in OVA-immunized mice.

Objectives : This study was undertaken to define the effect of Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Folium on phenylephrine-induced arterial contraction and the mechanism of Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Foliuminduced relaxation. Methods : In order to investigate the effect of Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Folium on contracted rabbit carotid arterial strips, transverse strips with intact or damaged endothelium were used for the experiment using organ bath. Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Folium extract was infused into contracted arterial strips induced by phenylephrine. To analyze the mechanism of Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Folium-induced relaxation, Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Folium extract was infused into contracted arterial strips induced by phenylephrine after treatment with indomethacin, $N{\omega}-nitro-L-arginine$, methylene blue or tetraethylammonium chloride, and $Ca^{2+}$ was infused into contracted arterial strips induced by phenylephrine after treatment of Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Folium in a $Ca^{2+}$-free solution. Results : Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Folium showed relaxation effect on arterial strip with endothelium contracted by phenylephrine, but in the strips without endothelium, Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Folium-induced relaxation was significantly inhibited. The endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Folium was decreased by pretreatment with $N{\omega}-nitro-L-arginine$ or methylene blue but it was not observed in the strips pretreated with indomethacin or tetraethylammonium chloride. When $Ca^{2+}$ was applied to the strips which were contracted by phenylephrine in a $Ca^{2+}$-free solution, arterial contraction was increased. However, pretreatment with Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Folium inhibited contractile response to $Ca^{2+}$. Conclusions : Diospyros kaki L. Radix or Diospyros kaki L. Folium may suppress influx of extra- cellular $Ca^{2+}$ through the formation of nitric oxide in the vascular endothelial cells.
