한국산 대추로부터 조직의 연화에 작용하는 endo-polygalacturonase를 gel filtration과 이온교환크로마토그라피에 의하여 단일 단백질로 정제할 수 있었고, 수율은 약 6% 정도였다. 정제된 이 효소는 sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis에 의하여 분자량이 약 19,000정도의 monomer로 확인되었고, 결정구조는 육각판상 모양을 나타내었다.

Objectives : We examined the effect of Hwangryunhaedoktang(HH) on the experimental ulcerative colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). Methods : Experimental colitis was induced in rats by daily treatment with 5% DSS in the drinking water for 5 days. Afterward, the mts were divided into two groups: the control group was administered water and the sample group was administered HH for 7 days. Results : The sample group provided HH for 7 days demonstrated fast recovery of body weight compared with the control group. Histologic change showed fast regeneration of crypt and surface epithelial cells and decreased edema of the submucosa and decreased lymphatic follicle of mucosa compared with the control group. Immunohistochemical stain usingCOX-2 gene was decreased and there was localized Ki-67 positive reaction. Regeneration of surface epithelial cell and goblet cell in mucosa was observed by transmission electron microscope. These results indicate therapeutic effect of HH on DSS-induced colitis in rats.

The transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) of scopolamine has various advantages over its oral dosage forms. The ideal scopolamine TTS requires high skin permeation rate in short time after it is applied on the skin. In order to increase the initial skin permeation rate of scopolamine from TTS, various permeation enhancers were employed. Enhancers employed were fatty acids (oleic and linolenic acids), cyclic monoterpenes (menthol, camphor, cineole and limonene) and others (isopropyl myristate, sodium lauryl sulfate and glyceryl monostearate). The concentration of enhancers in the base were fixed to 5% (w/w). While fatty acids had little enhancing effect on the skin permeation of scopolamine, cyclic monoterpenes, isopropyl myristate and sodium lauryl sulfate resulted in $1.5{\sim}2.6-fold$ higher skin permeation rate of the drug compared to the control. However, lag time was not affected by enhancers studied.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease, which is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder. Adenophorae Radix (AR) has been used as a traditional medicine for various diseases including strengthening cardiac function, allaying a fever, and easing pain and cough. However, the regulatory effects of AR in intestinal inflammation are not yet understood. This study attempted to determine the effect of AR in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) - induced colitis in mice. The colitis mice were induced by drinking water containing 5% DSS for 7 days. The results showed that mice treated with DSS showed remarkable clinical signs, including weight loss, and reduced colon length. Administration of AR attenuated weight loss, colon shortening and inhibited the levels of interleukin (IL) - 6 in DSS - treated colon tissues. These results provide experimental evidence that AR might be a useful therapeutic medicine for patients with UC.

Schizandra chinensis fruits (SC) have been used as a traditional Oriental medicine for treatments of many stress-induced diseases. In the present study, we investigated the protective effect of SC aqueous extract(SC-Ex) in the inflammatory diseases of intestine using a mouse model of ulcerative colitis. An experimental colitis was induced by daily treatment with 5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). SC-Ex was orally administered from day 2 of DSS treatment in a dose-dependent manner. Administration of SC-Ex reduced significantly clinic signs of DSS-induced colitis, including body weight loss, shorten colon length, increased disease activity index, and histological colon injury. Moreover, SC-Ex suppressed significantly not only the activities of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and chymase, but also the expressions of $TNF-{\acute{a}}$ and COX-2 in DSS-treated colon tissues. Inhibitory effect of SC-Ex was effective at a dose over 20 mg/kg. Our results indicate that SC-Ex may possess therapeutic effect on the development of DSS-induced colitis.

Objectives : This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Doche-tang on colonic mucosal ulcer induced by dextran sulfate sodium(DSS). Method : The group was divided into three. The normal group consisted of mice that were not inflammation-induced. The control group was composed of untreated colitis elicited mice. The sample group was administered Doche-tang after colitis elicitation. The effects on colonic mucosal ulcers were evaluated by the morphological change of colonic mucosa, the anti-oxidant effect, HSP 70, $NF-{\kappa}B$, COX-1, COX-2 and iNOS. Results : In terms of immunohistochemical findings, the distribution of COX-1 in mice treated with Doche-tang noticeably increased more than that in the control group. The distribution of HSP70, $NF-{\kappa}B$, COX-2, iNOS in mioe treated with Doche-tang decreased more than that in the control group. Regeneration of surface epithelial cell and goblet cell in mucosa was observed by transmission electron microscope. Conclusion : According to the results, Doche-tang is practicable treatment for colonic mucosal ulcer.

To evaluate the anticolitic effect of red ginseng (RG, the steamed root of Panax ginseng CA. Meyer, Araliaceae), RG and its representative constituents, ginsenosides Rg3 and Rh2, were orally administered to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitic mice and inflammatory markers investigated. RG and its constituents, ginsenosides Rg3 and Rh2, inhibited colon shortening and myeloperoxidase activity induced by DSS. The ginsenosides Rg3 and Rh2 inhibited mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-$1{\beta}$ as well as protein levels of IL-$1{\beta}$ and IL-6. These ginsenosides also inhibited the activation of a transcription nuclear factor (NF)-${\kappa}B$. Ginsenoside Rh2 was a more potent inhibitor than ginsenoside Rg3. The anticolitic effects of these ginsenosides were comparable with sulfasalazine.

본 연구에서는 양극 산화를 통해 얻어지는 다공성 니오븀 산화물 제조에 양이온 계면활성제인 Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB)와 음이온 계면활성제인 Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS)의 영향을 비교 관찰하였다. SDS가 전해질에 첨가되어 제조된 다공성 니오븀 산화 막은 표면에 장시간 용출이 발생하지 않았고, 계면활성제가 첨가되지 않고 제조된 다공성 니오븀 산화막의 두께와 비교 하였을 때 두께가 두 배 이상 증가된 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 하지만 CTAB가 전해질에 첨가되어 제조된 다공성 니오븀 산화물의 표면에는 용출이 일어났다. 이러한 차이점을 양성으로 대전된 니오븀산화물과 음이온/또는 양이온 계면활성제 사이의 상호작용에 근거하여 설명하였다.

Trypsin을 비롯한 여러 serine protease를 저해하는 단백질을 계골격근으로부터 여러 chromatography 방법을 이용하여 순수하게 분리하였다. 이 저해제의 분자량은 젤 여과법을 이용하여 측정한 결과 66,000 달톤이었으며 sodium dodecyl sulfate 존지하에서 전기영동하였을 때 66,000과 64,000 달톤의 두 단백질로서 나타났다. 이 중 64,000 달톤의 단백질은 순수분리과정 혹은 생체 내에서 일어난 부분 절제현상에 기인한 66,000 달톤 단백질의 부산물인 것으로 사료된다. 이 저해제는 약 7.4의 등전점을 가진 당 단백질임을 알 수 있었으며, 다량의 cysteine잔기를 포함하고 있다.

Objectives: This study was to investigate the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effect of Psoralea corylifolia water extract (PE) on ulcerative colitis which was induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in mice. Methods: Ulcerative colitis was induced by DSS in male BALB/c mice. The mice were divided into 3 groups. The control group (Ctrl) was not induced ulcerative colitis. The pathological group (CE) was induced the colitis. The experimental group (PT) was administered PE after inducing the colitis. The effects of the PE on ulcerative colitis were evaluated by morphological change in the colon tissue and cells, substance P production, activity of tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ and nuclear factor $(NF)-{\kappa}B$, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 production, and anti-oxidative activity. Results: In the PT group, PE alleviated hemorrhagic erosion in colon mucosa and infiltration of inflammatory cells in lamina propria mucosae. In the colon of the PT group, COX-2 production was inhibited via regulating the activity of $TNF-{\alpha}$ and $NF-{\kappa}B$ p65. PE also had an anti-oxidative effect via activating nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2). Conclusions: In this study, we found the utility of treatment with PE and the potential of developing a medicine for ulcerative colitis by applying our results. Further investigations for the anti-inflammatory mechanism of PE may be needed.
