An enhanced formation of nitric oxide (NO) is an important mediator of hypotention, peripheral vasodilation and vascular hyporeactivity to vasoconstrictor agents in endotoxaemia. And tumor necrosis factor (TNF${\alpha}$), as a primary mediator of circulatory shock has been known to induce inducible nitric oxide synthase (i-NOS), leading to excessive production of NO. We isolated two sesquiterpene lactone compounds from Saussurea lappa and their structures were elucidated as dehydrocostus lactone and costunolide. These compounds inhibit the production of both NO and TNF${\alpha}$ by LPS (1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$)-activated Raw 264.7 cells. NO was measured spectropho-tometrically as nitrite by the Griess reagent and TNF${\alpha}$ by ELISA. Dehydrocostus lactone (IC$\sub$50/ : 3.0 ${\mu}$M) and costunolide (IC$\sub$50/ : 4.5 ${\mu}$M) inhibited the production of NO in LPS-activated Raw 264.7 cells by suppressing inducible nitric oxide synthase enzyme expression. These compounds also decreased the TNF${\alpha}$ levels in LPS-activated system in vitro and in vivo.

Aristolochic acid (AA) included in the plants Aristolochiaceae have been well known to be nephrotoxic and carcinogenic inducer and to cause renal disease such as Chinese Herb Nephropathy (CHN). In this study, we used a high performance liquid chromatopaphy-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) under the positive ion detection mode for the quantitative change of aristolochic acid-I and-II (AA-I and AA-II) in Aristolochiaceae (Aristolochia contorta Bunge, Aristolochia debilis Sieb. et Zucc., Aristolochia fangchi Wu), some related plants (Cocculus trilobus De candolle, Inula helenium Linne, Saussurea lappa Clarke), and its prescriptions (防己茯笭湯, 定喘散) with or without processing. Here, the processing methods and prescriptions in oriental medicine were generally used to alleviate toxicity or alter property of herbal medicines. However, the concentrations of AA-I and AA-II were highly determined in processed material extracts rather than unprocessed those, not measured in some related plants. Also, the concentrations of AA-I and AA-II even at the prescriptions mixed the plants of Aristolochiaceae were detected to range from 0.73 to 2.53 ppm. Thus, the present results suggest that the content of AA-I and AA-II contained to plants of Aristolochiaceae was not reduced by the processing methods or prescriptions which can induce the physico-chemical change and pharmacological transformation in traditional herbal medicines.

Object: Show the treatment about Jungkijeung (Zhongqizheng) by distinguishing Apoplexy(Zhongfeng), yujungfung(Leizhongfeng), gualjung(Juezheng), and observation of cause, process, quality. Method: Researched definition, cause, process, treatment and herb med through chinese & korean medical publication refered to Jungkijeung(Zhongqizheng) Result: 1. Jungkijeung(Zhongqizheng) is simmilar to Apoplexy(Zhongfeng) that spiritual shock occurred to syncope, dysarthria, trismus, quadriplegia. But the symptom of Jungkijeung(Zhongqizheng) is coldness, no-sputum, sink-pluse; that of Apoplexy(Zhongfeng) is warmness, much secretion, float-pulse. 2. Jungkijeung(Zhongqizheng) is mainly caused by the serious anger and the reverse movement of spints by the seven emotional factor. The process of Jungkijeung(Zhongqizheng) are "Fire and Fever(huore)" "Weatness and sputum(shitan)", and most importantly "Weakness of vital-qi(qixi)" 3. The treatment of Jungkijeung(Zhongqizheng) is adjustment and circulation of jiao. In early stage, don't use of Apoplexial- Med. 4. As following herb-med are used for Jungkijeung (Zhongqizheng). Sohaphang-won(Suhexiangyan) is 18 times; Palmisungi-san(Baweishunqisan) is 13 times; Kang-tang(Jiangtang) is 8 times: Mokhyangsungi san(Muxiangshunqisan) is 6 times. 5. Atractylodes macrocephala KOIDZ(Baishu) is used for 40 times most frequently, Saussurea lappa CLARKE (Muxiang), Cyperus rotundus L (Xiangfuzi), Citrus unshiu MARCOR(Chenpi), Glycyrrhiza uralensis FISCH (Gancao), poria cocos WOLF (Furing), Panax ginseng NESS (Renshen) etc are orderly used. 6. Acupoints same as GV20(Baihui), LI4(Hegu), Liv2(Xingjian), 12 Junghyul(Jingxue) is used for acupunture. And CV8(Shenque), CV4(Guanyan) is used for moxibustion. Conclusion: As Jungkijeung(Zhangqizheng) is differed from Apoplexy(Zhongfeng), yujungfung(Leizhongfeng), gualjung(Juezheng), we must also cure Jungkijeung (Zhongqizheng) to the other disease. It is need to distinguishment Jungkijeung(Zhongqizheng) from neurotic, psychotic disease, though similar to conversation neurosis.

Apoptosis의 유발을 억제하는 한약제를 파악하여 apoptosis와 관련된 정상적 또는 질병에 대한 연구에 자료를 제공하고자 방사선에 의해 유도된 apoptosis를 지표로 한의학적 처방에서 많이 사용되는 대표적 한약제(24종)의 효과를 검증하였다. 용안육, 산조인, 원지, 인삼, 복령 목향, 천궁 백작약, 승마, 시호 및 눈꽃동충하초 투여군에서 apoptosis는 감소되었으며, 이들 생약제는 apoptosis와 관련된 질병의 예방 및 치료에 적용할 수 있을 것이다. 추후 이들 생약의 작용 기전에 대한 연구가 요구된다.

In this study, we evaluated the radioprotective effects of Kuei Pi Tang and its ingredients, as a prescription of traditional Oriental medicine. The jejunal crypt survival, endogenous spleen colony formation, and apoptosis in jejunal crypt cells were investigated in mice irradiated with high and low dose of ${\gamma}$ rays. In the mice administered with Kuei Pi Tang extract before irradiation, the jejunal crypts were protected significantly(p<0.005) and the frequency of radiation induced apoptosis was reduced(p<0.05). In the experiment on the effects of the ingredients of Kuei Pi Tang, the results indicated that the extract of Dangui(Angelica sinensis), Suanzaoren(Zizyphus valgaris), Rensan (Panax ginseng), Fuling(Poria cocos) and Muxiang(Saussurea lappa) might have a major radioprotective effect. Although the mechanisms of this inhibitory effect remain to be elucidated, these results indi cated that Kuei Pi Tang might be a useful radioprotector, especially since it is a relatively nontoxic natural product.

본 연구는 생약의 휘발성 향기추출액을 이용한 염증치료용 기능성 신소재를 개발하기 위해 대식세포주인 Raw 264.7 세포를 이용한 모델시스템에서 천궁 및 당귀의 휘발성 향기추출물의 항염증 효과를 검정하였으며, 아울러 이들 향기추출물의 향기성분을 GC-MS 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 그 결과 8가지 생약(노간주, 목향, 천궁, 당귀, 정향, 고본, 박하, 애엽)의 향기추출물 중 천궁 및 당귀가 LPS 처리에 의한 NO의 생성을 가장 크게 억제하였으며 $PGE_2$의 생성도 현저히 억제시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 천궁 및 당귀의 향기 추출물은 NO의 생합성 효소인 iNOS 단백질의 발현 또한 농도의존적으로 감소시킴을 확인할 수 있었으며, 염증성 사이토카인인 IL-6의 생성 억제효과도 우수하였다. 천궁 및 당귀 향기추출물의 휘발성 향기성분을 GC-MS로 분석한 결과, 천궁은 eugenol, 3-butylphthalide, butylidene phthalide 및 ligustilide를 확인하였으며 이들 향기성분 중 ligustilide가 천궁의 주된 휘발성 향기성분임을 확인하였고, 당귀는 eugenol, ${\beta}$-maaliene, ${\beta}$-eudesmol 및 9-tetradecenoic acid를 확인하였으며 이들 향기성분 중 ${\beta}$-eudesmol이 당귀의 주된 향기성분임을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구결과로 미루어 볼 때 천궁 및 당귀의 휘발성 향기추출물이 대식세포에 의해 생성되는 염증반응의 매개물질인 NO, $PGE_2$, IL-6의 생성을 저해함으로써 항염증 활성을 가지는 것으로 생각되며, 이러한 항염증 활성은 천궁 및 당귀에 함유된 항염증성 향기성분인 ligustilide 및 ${\beta}$-eudesmol이 크게 기여했을 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 천궁 및 당귀의 휘발성 향기추출물은 천연 유래의 항염증 물질로서 잠재적인 가치가 있어 향후 염증질환 예방 및 치료용 기능성식품 및 화장품 소재로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
