Since cotton fabrics with ripple finish treatment form wavy furrows on the surface or bumpy patterns, air circulation during wearing is good and the fabric is cool to the touch. The finishing principle is based on the mercerization, which utilizes the fact that cotton fibers contract in a concentrated NaOH solution. In this study, as fabric specimens, cotton fabrics with yarn counts of 40's, 60's and 80's were used. Concentrations of the NaOH solutions were 15%, 25%, and 35%. After dyeing fabrics using Rubia akane nakai, color and other properties were measured. As the concentration of the NaOH solution increased, the fabric became thicker and denser, and the number of occurrence of the prominence and depression per unit length became larger. The color of the region contracted by ripple finish became darker after dyeing, while the color of the untreated region became lighter, which enhanced the cubic effect of the ripple finish. As the count of the cotton yarn increased, the dyeability became better. As the concentration of the NaOH solution increased, the air permeability became lower.

It is thought that highly reactive oxygen radicals generated at the ischemia-reperfusion in case of strokes play an important role in damaging the brain. We examined the neuroprotective effects from the several medicinal herbs in the transient ischemic rat model and compared their effects with the free radical scavenging activities. Transient ischemia was induced by intraluminal occusion of the right middle cerebral artety for 120 min and reperfusion was continued for 22 h in rats. The free radical scavenging properties of medicinal herbs were examined in vitro by determination of the interaction with the 1,l-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) stable free radical. Aqueous extracts of 11 medicinal herbs (200 mg/kg) were orally administered, promptly prior to reperfusion and 2 h after reperfusion. Total infarction volume in the ipsilateral hemisphere of ischemia reperfusion rats was significantly lowered by the treatment of 7 medicinal herbs (Sophora flavescens, Lycopus lucidus, Sanguisorba officinalis, Caesalpinia sappan, Albizia julibrissin, Rubia akane, Psoralea corylifolia, Prunella vulgaris). However, all of these medicinal herbs did not show antioxidative activities. These results suggest that neuroprotective effects of several drugs are not always correlated with their antioxidative properties.

본 연구는 꼭두서니의 뿌리인 천초근의 물 추출물과 에탄올 추출물을 이용하여 대장암 세포에 대한 암세포 성장 억제 및 사멸효과가 있는지 알아보고자 수행하였다. ERA(천초근 에탄올 추출물)은 폴리페놀($45.77{\pm}2.03mg/g$)과 플라보노이드($22.82{\pm}1.33mg/g$)를 함유하고 있었으며, $H_2O_2$에 의해 증가된 ROS(reactive oxygen species)를 억제하는 효과를 나타냈지만 WRA(천초근 물 추출물)은 효과가 없었다. 또한 ERA는 $500{\mu}g/m{\ell}$의 농도로 대장암 세포주(HCT-116)에 처리했을 때 세포사멸을 유도할 뿐만 아니라 caspase-3 단백질 활성화, DNA fragmentation 및 apoptotic cell death를 일으키는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 ERA가 HCT-116 세포주에 대해 apoptosis(세포자멸사)를 통해 항암효과를 나타내는 것으로 생각되지만 다른 연구결과들과 비교하였을 때 농도 대비 효능이 미미하다. 따라서 천초근 에탄올 추출물에 대장암 세포의 성장을 억제하는 유효성분을 분석하여 그 효능을 탐색하는 추가실험이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
