This study is aimed to test physiological and hematological actions of Rheum palmatum through clinical pilot study optimized for usual oriental medicine prescription. Thirty-one cases were finally collected and the sample extract 100 $m{\ell}$ of Rheum palmatum (ERP) was administered two times in a day during 3 days and checked with blood CBC test, urinalysis, liver function test, abdominal X-ray as well as general diagnostic process of oriental medicine; pattern identification, assessment of shapes and constitution. The total toxic effective rate of ERP was 9.68% in 3 cases of the whole in case of consistent uneasy state in the subjective symptomatic assessment and aggravation of blood and urine examination. The relevant diagnostic factors were so-eum constitution and essence type subject, carapaces species, lung type in the aspect of Jisan shape theory. On the other hand, the positive effective rate of ERP was 29.03% manifesting improvement of vital signs or present illness and no abnormal changes of blood chemistry and urinalysis and simple abdomen radiology. The relevant diagnostic factors were tae-eum constitution, energy type subject, aves species, heart and liver type in Jisan's shape theory. And the other cases were manifesting no specific change through the administration of ERP. The ratio of the numbers of decrease and increase was 44:5 in the tenderness and hardness of abdominal palpation. But if the pattern identification doesn't comply with the aim of rhubarb application despite of constipation and abdominal pain, the tendeness and biochemical report was shown in abnormal change. The mean number of diarrhea by ERP was $16.77{\pm}6.95$ during 3 days after administration, and the frequent areas of abdominal pain were lower>middle>upper in order, and it meant the target site of ERP too. Besides, the toxic reaction against ERP was expressed highly in case of decrease in blood cell count and hemoglobin, hematocrit having blood deficiency syndrome. Likewise, the toxicity of ERP was influenced by pattern identification manifesting present disease condition and diagnostic factors of four constitutions, Jisan's shape theory collaterally. In conclusion, evaluation of herbal toxicity in order for using as a clinical guideline, various diagnostic pattern information and shape features like the above should be studied together with other pharmacologic toxicology test for the future.

Strawberry and cucumber were dipped with Korean medical herb extracts such as Rheum palmatum L. and Coptis chinensis Franch. to maintain the keeping quality during storage at 5$^{\circ}$C and 10$^{\circ}$C, respectively. Treatment with 500 ppm solutions gor strawberry retarded weight loss, microbial load increase, and decay during storage. Decay ratio was shown 68.8% for control, 45.0% for Rheum palmatum L. and 42.5% for Coptis chinensis Franch. at 10 days. Strawberry treated with Coptis chinensis Franch. showed a higher hardness and soluble solid content than others. Cucumber treated with 1,000 ppm solutions revealed a different O$_2$ and CO$_2$ concentrations after 16 days. Korean medical herb extracts showed an antimicrobial activity for the quality retention of cucumber during storage. Ascorbic acid content was generally increased till 8 days, but decreased thereafter.

풋고추를 수확하여 선도를 유지할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 천연항균소재를 이용한 항균용제와 항균포장필름에 대한 각각의 효과와 두 가지를 병행한 상승효과를 확인하기 위하여 풋고추를 항균용제에 침지 처리후 1$0^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 품질변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과 항균용제와 항균포장필름에 대한 각각의 효과뿐만 아니라 두 가지를 병행하여 저장하는 경우 상승효과가 더욱 두드러지게 나타나는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 풋고추의 선도를 유지하는 데에 천연항균소재가 효과적으로 사용될 수 있는 것으로 나타났고, 이러한 용제가 실용가능성을 가질 수 있도록 다각도로 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

항균력이 있는 것으로 확인된 대황 및 황련추출물을 오이, 호박, 상치 및 고추에 처리하였을 때 총균수가 감소하였다. 채소의 종류에 따라서 적절한 처리농도는 달랐는 데, 호박, 상치 및 고추는 100 ppm, 오이는 500 ppm 처리가 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 채소를 침지할 때의 시간은 10분 정도가 적절한 것으로 나타났으며, 세척수의 온도를 4$0^{\circ}C$로 높일 경우에도 채소류 표면의 총균수 감소 효과는 실온의 세척수와 비슷하였다. 또한 오이와 호박을 대황 및 황련 추출물로 처리한 다음 1$0^{\circ}C$에서 건조하고 PVC랩으로 포장하여 저장한 결과 대조구에 비하여 총균수가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 저장 기간 중 무게는 지속적으로 감소하였으며, 처리구와 대조구간에 큰 차이를 나타내지는 않았다. Ascorbic acid의 함량은 저장 기간 중 지속적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났는데, 대황 및 황련추출물을 처리한 시험구가 대조구에 비하여 ascorbic acid의 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다

The polyherbal drug Gyeongshingangjeehwan 18 (GGEx18) from Rheum palmatum L. (Polygonaceae), Laminaria japonica Aresch (Laminariaceae), and Ephedra sinica Stapf (Ephedraceae) has traditionally been used as an antiobesity drug in Korean local clinics. This study investigates the effects of GGEx18 on pancreatic fibroinflammation in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed obese C57BL/6J mice and the molecular mechanism involved in this process. After HFD-fed obese C57BL/6J mice were treated with GGEx18 (125, 250, and 500 mg/kg) for 12 weeks, variables and determinants of obesity, pancreatic inflammation, and fibrosis were measured using histology, immunohistochemistry, and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Administration of GGEx18 at 500 mg/kg/day to obese mice decreased body weight gain, mesenteric adipose tissue mass, and adipocyte size. GGEx18 treatment not only reduced mast cells and CD68-immunoreactive cells, but also decreased collagen levels and ${\alpha}$-smooth muscle actin-positive cells in the pancreas of HFD-fed mice. Concomitantly, GGEx18 decreased the expression of genes for inflammation (i.e., CD68 and tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}$) and fibrosis (i.e., collagen ${\alpha}1$ and transforming growth factor ${\beta}$) in the pancreas of obese mice. These results suggest that GGEx18 may inhibit visceral obesity and related pancreatic fibroinflammation in HFD-fed obese mice.

Objectives : This study was undertaken to verify the modulation mechanism of Gyeongshingangjeehwan18 (GGEx18) in ob/ob male mice. Methods : Eight-week old mice (wild-type C57BL/6J and ob/ob) were used for all experiments. Wild-type C57BL/6J mice were used as lean control and obese ob/ob mice were randomly divided into 5 groups : obese control, GGEx15 (Ephedra sinica Stapf + Rheum palmatum L.), GGEx16 (Ephedra sinica Stapf + Laminaria japonica Aresch), GGEx17 (Rheum palmatum L. + Laminaria japonica Aresch), and GGEx18 (Ephedra sinica Stapf + Laminaria japonica Aresch + Rheum palmatum L.). After mice were treated with several kinds of GGEx for 11 weeks, the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) target genes and uncoupling protein (UCP) were measured. In addition, $PPAR{\alpha}$ and $PPAR{\beta}$ transactivation was examined in NMu2Li hepatocytes, C2C12 myocytes, and 3T3-L1 preadipocytes using transient transfection assays. Results : 1. Hepatic $PPAR{\alpha}$ target genes, such as ACOX and VLCAD mRNA levels were significantly increased by GGEx18 compared with obese controls. In skeletal muscle, LCAD mRNA expression was stimulated by GGEx16, GGEx17, and GGEx18, whereas MCAD mRNA expression by GGEx17 and GGEx18. $PPAR{\beta}$ target LPL mRNA levels were also increased by GGEx16, GGEx17, and GGEx18 in skeletal muscle, but adipose LPL mRNA levels were decreased. In addition, GGEx18 upregulated UCP mRNA expression in skeletal muslce. 2. $PPAR{\alpha}$ reporter gene expression was increased by GGEx18 in NMu2Li cells compared with vehicle. $PPAR{\alpha}$ and $PPAR{\beta}$ reporter activities were also increased by all GGEx treatments in C2C12 and 3T3-L1 cells. Conclusions : These results suggest that GGEx can act as $PPAR{\alpha}$ and $PPAR{\beta}$ activators, and that GGEx may regulate obesity by stimulating $PPAR{\alpha}$, $PPAR{\beta}$, and UCP activity. Of the 4 compositions, GGEx18 seems to be most effective in improving obesity and lipid disorders.

대황추출물, 황련추출물, 지르코니움계 은치환무기 이온교환체 등의 항균성 소재를 1% 농도로 함유시킨 LDPE 필름($O_2$, 투과도 : $68{\sim}80\;mL/m^2$ atm hr, $CO_2$ 투과도 : $304{\sim}360\;mL/m^2$ atm hr)을 사용하여 200 g 단위의 딸기에 대해서 환경기체조절포장을 실시하고 $5^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 포장내 기체조성, 미생물 증식, 물리화학적 품질변화를 측정하였다. 또한 대황추출물 함유 필름의 포장에 0.5 mm의 핀홀을 2개 낸 세공성 포장, 항균제 무첨가의 대조구 LDPE 밀봉포장, PVC wrap 포장과도 비교하였다. 항균성 LDPE 필름은 포장된 딸기의 총균수, 유산균수, 효모수에서 미생물의 생육을 억제하였고, 밀봉포장될 때 4% 이하의 낮은 $O_2$ 농도 및 $6.3{\sim}9.0%$의 $CO_2$ 농도의 변형기체조성을 유지하였다. 포장필름의 미생물생육억제와 변형기체의 복합적인 상승 효과로 인해 항균성 LDPE 밀봉포장은 대조구 LDPE 포장, 통기성의 PVC wrap 및 세공성 핀홀 포장에 비해 현저하게 낮은 부패율을 보였다. 그리고 이러한 포장은 딸기의 경도 유지에도 긍정적인 효과를 가짐과 아울러 다른 물리화학적 변화에도 부정적인 영향을 주지 않았다.

The phytoremediation of trinitrotoluene, nitroglycerine, pentaerytritoltetranitrate in plant tissue cultures of Solanum aviculare, Rheum palmatum and Populus simonii were studied. All above mentioned explosives were degradated to to less toxic products and finally mineralized or bound to the cell wall.
