Polyphenolic compounds widely occurring in the traditional medicine plants have been reported to possess strong antioxidant activity. The antioxidative substances of water soluble extract from leaves, stem bark, root bark and fruit powder of Cudrania tricuspidata were tested in three different in vitro experimental models. In oxidation models using DPPH( , ' diphenyl picrylhydrazyl) method, Fe2+ induced linoleic acid peroxidation, and autooxidation of hepatic microsomal membranes, the antioxidative activities of water soluble extract from stem bark were strong than that from leaves and root bark. Fruits of Cudrania tricuspidata contained the highest amounts of polyphenolic compounds among the parts of this plant. The changes in polyphenolic compound contents of fruit powder caused by heat treatment (20oC, 40oC, and 60oC) were also monitored. After water blanching, contents of phenolic compounds was increased slightly in the following order; 20oC(1454mg), 40oC(1487mg), and 60oC(1511mg). These results supports that water soluble extracts from Cudrania tricuspidata contain antioxidative compounds.

뽕나무(Morus alba) 및 꾸지뽕나무(Cudrania tricuspidata)의 잎과 줄기 껍질의 수용성 추출물에 대하여 in vitro 실험계에서 항산화 활성을 비교 검토하였다. 성장기 마우스의 간장 microsome을 이용한 생체막 지질 과산화 억제정도는 꾸지뽕나무 줄기 껍질(53%)>뽕나무 줄기 껍질(43%)>꾸지뽕나무 잎(38%)>뽕나무 및(34%) 순으로 나타났다. Linoleic acid산화 실험계에서는 꾸지뽕나무 줄기 껍질과 뽕나무 잎의 추출물이 강한 항산화 활성을 나타내었으며, 꾸지뽕나무 줄기 껍질의 추출물은 반응 8일째까지 강한 활성을 보였다. TBA method에서는 뽕나무 줄기 껍질이 다른 것에 비해 약간 강한 활성을 보였으며, 또한 DPPH에 의한 수소공여능은 각 시료첨가 0.05%에서 뽕나무 잎>꾸지뽕나무 잎>통나무 줄기 껍질>꾸지뽕나무 줄기 껍질 순으로 나타나 및 추출물에서 비교적 수소공여 작용이 강하였다. 이들 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 화합물의 함량을 측정한 결과 뽕나무 잎(1.32%), 뽕나무 줄기 껍질(1.28%), 꾸지뽕나무 잎(1.34%), 꾸지뽕나무 줄기 껍질(1.30%)로 큰 차이가 없었다.

To evaluate the leaf shoots and stem barks of Kalopanax pictus (Araliaceae) as an edible vegetable and a traditional medicinal drug, respectively, the compounds of syringin, liriodendrin, astragalin, quercetin, and kalopanaxsaponins were quantitatively measured by HPLC analysis. The leaf shoot exhibited low contents of syringin, liriodendrin and kalopanaxsaponins but a high chlorogenic acid content, whereas the grown leaves contained very high amounts of kalopananxsaponins. In contrast, the stem bark had very high amounts of syringin and liriodendrin and relatively low kalopanaxsaponins. In particular, the kalopanaxsaponin contents were rapidly increased with monthly variation until October but decreased from September. It was also observed that the leaf shoot contained chlorogenic acid by 30.73 mg/g and the barks showed the concentration of liriodendrin by 20.75 mg/g. These results indicate that high contents of syringin and liriodendrin in the stem bark and high contents of chlorogenic acid in the leaf shoot support scientific bases on the traditional uses of K. pictus as a medicinal drug and a functional food, respectively.

The study was performed to analyze the growth of the red pine (Pinus densiflora) in the Eastern Region of Korea. Stem profile data from a total of 8 dominant trees of which each tree represents its site were collected and used for the analysis. The stem volumes were calculated using Smalian's formula and much higher than the ones by Korea Forest Research Institute in larger than dbh 40 cm. The total bark volumes were more proportionally related to dbh and stem volume than to height and age. The bark thickness and volume decreased as relative height increases but increased as relative dbh increased. The average PAI of dbh and height reached the highest at 0.8 cm/yr (age 15) and at 0.45 m/yr (age 30) respectively, while the average PAI of volume steadily tended to increase up to age 80. The growth percentages of dbh, height and volume tended to decrease with age and volume growth percentage was higher than dbh and height.

Determining the nutrient stoichiometry in plant organs is critical for understanding nutrient uptake and cycling in forest ecosystems. This study evaluated nutrient concentrations and stoichiometry in various plant organs (stem, bark, branches, and foliage) of species found in four warm-temperate forests in southern Korea. Cryptomeria japonica D. Don (CJ), Quercus serrata Thunb. (QS), evergreen broadleaved tree species (EB), and bamboo spp. (BB) were destructively sampled to measure nutrient (C, N, and P) concentrations in the plant organs. The mean C concentration in the stem was significantly higher in CJ than in QS, BB, or EB, whereas the C concentration in the foliage was the lowest in BB. The mean foliar N and P concentrations were higher in BB than in EB or CJ. The mean stem C:N and C:P ratios were highest in CJ but were lowest in the foliage of BB. Overall, stems of all species showed a strong positive correlation between C concentration and dry weight, but a negative correlation between N and dry weight. The N and P concentrations of foliage and bark were strongly correlated, whereas those of the stem and branches were poorly correlated. Positive correlations were detected between the C:N and C:P ratios in bark and foliage. These results indicate the existence of intraspecific differences in nutrient requirements in warm-temperate forest species and add to the understanding of nutrient uptake and storage patterns in the organs of species growing in warm-temperate forests.

Objectives : This study was designed to compare the effects of acanthopanax stem bark (ASB) and acanthopanax root bark (ARB) on the monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced osteoarthritis rats. Methods : The antioxidant activities were evaluated through radical scavenging assays using 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radicals and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. Also, we examined total poly phenol and flavonoids contents. Osteoarthritis was caused by injection MIA($50{\mu}{\ell}$ with $80mg/m{\ell}$) into the knee joint cavity of rats. Rats were divided by 4 groups (normal group, control group, ASB treated group, ARB treated group, each n=6). The changes in the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum were analyzed after experiment. Also, the anti-oxidant, inflammatory protein levels were investigated western blot analysis. Knee joint tissue, histopathological observation hematoxylin & eosin staining and safranin-O staining were measured. Results : In the present study, ARB treated group showed superior inhibitory effects on the inflammatory parameters than the ASB treated group. ARB aqueous extract was effective in antioxidant measurements. The administration of ARB showed a significant reduction of changes in relative hind paw weight distribution. Morever, it decreased ROS, ALT and AST levels in serum, compared with those of the control rats. The ARB administration inhibited the biomarkers of inflammatory in tissues. Conclusions : ASB aqueous extract and ARB aqueous extract have a great effect on osteoarthritis, and ARB aqueous extract has excellent effect on osteoarthritis through antioxidant and anti-inflammation.

In order to find an environment-friendly method to suppress astragal stem rot caused by the isolates of Rhizoctonia solani AG 1 and AG 4, we tested an antagonistic fungus Gliocladium virens G1 was evaluated as a biocontrol agent and estimated inorganic compounds and organic materials were tested for their effect of the disease suppression. G. virens G1 effectively inhibited mycelial growth in a dual culture and caused mycelial lysis in the culture filtrate. No adverse effect was observed when examined for seed germination and seedling growth. Promoted seedling growth was observed with the seed treatment. Seeds of astragal plant were germinated higher in the sterile soil than the natural soil. Of 14 inorganics tested, alum, aluminum sulfate and calcium oxide significantly suppressed the mycelial growth and sclerotial germination. Milled pine bark and oak sawdust also suppressed the mycelial growth. Soil amended with 1% of G. virens G1 composted with pine bark (w/v) significantly controlled astragal stem rot in the glasshouse experiments.
