Background : Ginseng has traditionally been used in oriental countries to recover vital energy from Qi deficiency, and has shown various biomedical effects in the scientific literature. Recent reports suggest that ginseng could regulate blood pressure (BP), but much controversy still remains. Therefore, we intended to assess the anti-hypertensive effect of several ginseng types frequently used in clinics. We also investigated the anti-hypertensive effect on Koreans and Chinese, and by the body type according to Sasang Constitution Medicine (SCM). Methods : The study subjects were recruited from mildly hypertensive patients who exhibited pre-hypertension(120/80 to 139/89 mmHg) and stage I hypertension (140/90 to 159/99 mmHg) in Korea and China. After assigning the subjects into a Korean, a Chinese, a red, and an American ginseng group by randomization, we prescribed ginseng at a dose of 4.5 g per day for 4 weeks. To assess the anti-hypertensive effect, we compared the mean of systolic and diastolic BP between before and after ginseng medication using a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (24 hr ABPM. We also monitored adverse effect and laboratory findings to secure the subjects' safety. In addition, all of the subjects in Korea consulted a specialist of Sasang Constitution Medicine to identify their constitutional type. Results : There were 64 subjects treated with Korean ginseng, 58 treated with Chinese ginseng, 33 treated with red ginseng, and 64 treated with American ginseng. Korean, Chinese, and American ginseng all reduced subjects' BP; Korean and Chinese ginseng showed more effect. The secondary analysis on the subjects' nationality revealed that all of the ginseng types showed more significant anti-hypertensive effect in Chinese patients than in Koreans. The third analysis on the constitutional type of SCM showed there was no significant difference in the effectiveness and the safety of ginseng among the constitutional types. Conclusions : We suggest ginseng, especially Panax ginseng without any steaming-drying process, could be useful for mild hypertension. Further, ginseng is safe regardless of subjects' constitutional type or type of ginseng within a dosage of 4.5g per day.

In this study, two kinds of chestnut-sweet potato (CSP) and pumpkin-sweet potato (PSP) were cooked by three methods: raw, steaming, and roasting. These samples were investigated in food compositions such as moisture, protein, ash, dietary fiber, fat, minerals, and vitamins. As the results of this study, the moisture contents of raw CSP and raw PSP were higher than those of steamed and roasted samples in two cultivars. The contents of protein in raw CSP and raw PSP were 2.57 g/100 g and 3.22 g/100 g, respectively, which were higher than those of other cultivars. The protein contents of roasted CSP and steamed PSP were lower than those of their raw samples. The potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and iron values of PSP were 1,048.46 mg/100g, 152.02 mg/100g, 74.70 mg/100g, 57.22 mg/100g, 22.28 mg/100g, and 1.44 mg/100g, respectively, which were the highest values in tested sweet potato cultivars. The content of dietary fiber in CSP was higher generally than that in PSP. The values of total dietary fiber in cooked sweet potatoes were higher than those of raw sweet potatoes. The contents of vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, in PSP were higher than those in CSP. Overall, two cultivars of raw, boiled, and roasted sweet potatoes had enhanced food composition. Therefore, these sweet potato cultivars are expected to be highly valuable food items for the development and application of functional foods.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sensory and physicochemical attributes of Cham-chwi dduk with various amounts of Cham-chwi(Aster scaber) and salt. Cham-chwi dduk was made by steaming glutinous rice flour with Cham-chwi powder for 15 min. Cham-chwi powder was added 1, 3, 5% of glutinous rice flour weight and salt was added 0.5, 1.0 1.5%. According to the sensory evaluation, bitterness and Cham-chwi flavor increased as the amount of Cham-chwi increased and saltiness increased as the amount of salt increased(p<0.05). In the textural profiles, chewiness, adhesiveness, hardness and gumminess were highest when 3% Cham-chwi was added. The moisture content of Cham-chwi dduk was increased as the amount of Cham-chwi was increased and the amount of salt was decreased. The more amount of added Cham-chwi increase, the more green color was strong and yellow color was weak. These results were used to determine the optimum conditions of adding levels of Cham-chwi and salt. Conditions were standardized with minimum range of firmness when expected value of Cham-chwi flavor was more than six and expected value of bitterness was less five. The optimum conditions of Cham-chwi dduk was established as the 3.1% Cham-chwi and 0.6% salt.

This paper aimed to find out the eco-friendly approach enabling to directly print patterns and dye colors on fabrics using leaves of plants. In the research process, I found out the 'eco-printing' which could effectively express unique colors and patterns of plants. While eco-printing can design the patterns and colors of plants in nature using the leaves of plant(Eucalyptus), it is difficult to implement because it is not systematically and academically investigated including the dictionary definition in Korea until now. Thus, I tried to define the eco-printing and natural dyeing using leaves or flowers of plants enabling to get natural patterns and colors and do the experimental research and production using the leaves of Eucalyptus. The leaves of Eucalyptus were arranged on a wool scarf and a silk scarf, tied and applied pressure to them and made pigments penetrate into fabrics by heating or steaming them. This approach is to directly print the patterns using the shapes of plants on fabrics unlike the existing approaches dyeing by extracting dyeing solution from natural materials. Furthermore, the change of colors was attempted by using the color fixers. In accordance with the results of this experimental research, the scarf design differentiated from the existing products could be acquired. It was identified that eco-printing could induce the color variables depending on the conditions of each material and environment. For improving the color variables, various kinds of fabrics and divers kinds of materials which can be easily acquired in a daily life will be investigated and compared. Furthermore, it is expected that the experimental research and production techniques on eco-printing be utilized when starting natural dyeing and the scope of natural dyeing be more expanded.

Objectives : In order to comprehend and utilize external therapy, we considered that we needed to research Wu Shi-Ji who was a medical specialist of external therapy. We looked at the special study on external therapy in his book, ${\ll}li-yao-pian-wen{\gg}$, especially ; in this part his generai approach to external therapy was well-detaiied. Methods : We translated and analyzed . Results : In , he gives a supplementary explanation about the insufficient attention paid to external therapy, 膏(gao) - (ti) 坐(zuo) (yu) 抹(mo) 纏法(chan fa), through San Jiao(三焦). And he insisted on his conception of external therapy: ointment(膏) and the moth of sneezing, sitting on herbs(坐), steaming or attaching herbs patients's navel, rubbing(抹) and binding(縛), based on ${\ll}nei-jing{\gg}$ and ${\ll}shang-han-lun{\gg}$. He put forward the general rules of external therapy using those methods. And through , he explained that the efficacy of his external therapy was basically the same as internal therapy and medicine, the only difference was in the method. In addition, this external therapy has some merits when compared with internal medicine. First, it's easier to diagnose a disease and treat patients compared to internal medicine. For instance, when a patient has a problem with his abdomen, we just have to diagnose a disease of the abdomen and treat using one method of external therapy on the abdomenal area. Second, external therapy has fewer side effects. And third, we can utilize the meridian theory when we use external therapy. Conclusions : Through , we basically understood his conception of external therapy. Although more research is needed, we suggest that we need to enlarge our usage of external therapy, not just confine ourselves to smaller areas of focus. His point of view suggests that external therapy is not merely an adjunct to internal therapy, but an interdependent course of study and action in its own right.

This study aimed to find an effective preservation method of lotus leaves for the preparation of lotus-leaf Yakju throughout the year. The characteristics of Yakju containing lotus leaves pretreated by blanching, steaming, roasting, and drying were investigated in this study. The chemical properties of Yakju (pH, amino acidity, alcohol content, and volatile acid content) were significantly different for all treatments, except for the total acid content. The polyphenol content ranging from 315.89 to 462.63 ppm (p<0.05) was significantly different depending on pretreatment method L color value for Yakju was not significantly different all treatments, while a value was significantly different in Yakju containing frozen stored leaves after pretreatment. The b value was lowest for the blanching treatment, and was significantly different for all treatments. Among the organic acids present in Yakju, the oxalic, citric, and malic acid contents were significantly different for all treatments. In sensory evaluation, lotus-leaf Yakjus containing fresh leaves and dried leaves were preferred to the others in color and flavor among Yakjus prepared with lotus leaves before cold storage. However, among the Yakjus prepared with lotus leaves after cold storage, that containing blanched leaves was preferred to the others in terms of flavor, taste, and overall acceptability.

"LeiGongPaoZhiLun" is the first pharmaceutical book, and there are various opinion on when LeiXiao(雷斅), the author lived. From the aspect of several data, it is appropriate most that LeiXiao live in the period of Sui(隋) Dynasty, like SuSong(蘇頌) in the Sung Dynasty said, This book was not made at one time by one person. At the beginning, it was written by LeiXiao and the later generations enlarged to finish. The original of "LeiGongPaoZhiLun" disappeared already but a large amount of this book was quoted to "ZhengLeiBenCao(證類本草)" to be preserved. The contents of "LeiGongPaoZhiLun" are the first professional book about processing of medicinal, in which most of processing of medicinal that is generally used today, is included and some methods are unused. Besides, the regulations of this book are specific, the range is broad, and theoretical frame is established for the first time. This book has abundant contents, in which several processing of medicinal are written. There are 10 methods such as steaming(蒸法), boiling(煮法), baking(炮法), stir-frying(炒法), calcining(煅法), long time boiling(煉法), scorching(燒法), baking after wrapping(煨法), immersing(浸法), washing(洗法), flying(飛法), etc. How to remove some section that is not used for drug, how to separate according to medical use and region to be applied, how to smash, how to cut, how to dry, container for medicine, warning for making a prescription, time to make medicine and amount of medicine, how to distinguish superior and inferior and origin, how to make medicine partially, etc, are contained in this book. The contents of "LeiGongPaoZhiLun" can be mixture of processing of medicinal of medical scientists and taoists. In conclusion, however, the effect by the later medical generations of "LeiGongPaoZhiLun" was not great on processing of medicinal. It stemmed from the difference of processing of medicinal in this very taoistic book that realistic difficulties were disregarded by taoists for training and practical purpose, treatment that is the reason that later medical generations used processing of medicinal. Consequently, there is no great relation between the development of processing of medicinal in the Sung Dynasty and this book. "LeiGongYaoXingFu(雷公藥性賦)" that was abundant in medical market in Ming(明) and Qing(清) period has no relation with "LeiGongPaoZhiLun" is kind of a distribution-purposed book that was mnge in or after Ming Dynasty. However, since a book that is said to be written by 'LiGao(李杲)'PaoZhihis nof a dijust borrowed and focus on a brief summery, it is not desirable for beginners to learn medical knowledge. "LeiGongPaoZhiLun" is the first pharmaceutical book and is a model to show how a science in the history of the herb medicine generated and developed and how such a book is changed and modified to make a change of value.
