Aldose reductase (AR) has been demonstrated to play important role in the development of the diabetic complications such as diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy and diabetic nephropathy. To discover novel treatments for diabetic complications from natural sources, 69 Korean herbal medicines have been investigated for inhibitory activities on AR. Among them, 7 herbal medicines, Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus (stems), Artemisia japonica (whole plants), Wisteria floribunda (leaves), Eurya japonica (stems, twigs and leaves, leaves), Ampelopsis brevipedunculata (stems) exhibited a significant inhibitory activity compared with 3,3-tetramethyleneglutaric acid as positive control.

Effects of calcium on mulberry growth and freezing tolerance were examined by water culture. Calcium was supplied by folar spray with the levels of 0, 5, and 40 ppm. Muberry stems developed by 130 cm at Ca2+ 40ppm, 82 cm at Ca2+ 5 ppm and 23 cm at Ca2+ 0 ppm. Muberry roots also developed vigorously at Ca2+ 40 ppm, but did poorly at Ca2+ 5 ppm and changed to brown in color, and died becoming necrosis at Ca2+ 0 ppm. Content of calcium in leaves and barks were increased at Ca2+ 40 ppm compared with at Ca2+ 5 ppm. Total sugar, RNA, proline and phospholipid at Ca2+ 40 ppm were also more increased than those at Ca2+ 5 ppm. Mulberry stems grown at Ca2+ 40 ppm showed a sufficient tolerance at -10 for 24 hours while stems grown at Ca2+ 5 ppm did a weak tolerance at the same conditions.

The methanol extract of Rhododendron mucronulatum for. albiflorum (RMFA) stems inhibited aldose reductase (AR) activity. The RMFA fractions obtained by stepwise extraction with solvents of different polarity were tested for AR inhibition in vitro using the lens of a rat. Among them, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction inhibited AR more than the other fractions. Quercetin (1) from the EtOAc fraction showed a high AR inhibition with $IC_{50}$ of $2.11{\mu}M$. The stems of RMFA contained the highest amount (5.12 mg/g extract) of quercetin. Our results suggest that RMFA, which contained quercetin, could be a useful material for the development of supplementary functional foods.

The purpose of this study was to investigate nutritional component changes (chlorophylls, vitamin C, and minerals) in two Korean spinach cultivars (Cheongrok, Ddangddali) according to different growth periods, as well as differences in the components of three plant parts (leaves, stems, and roots). Chlorophyll, vitamin C, Na, and Hunter‘s color a/b values reached maximum levels in the spinach leaves after 35 days of planting, while these components did not significantly change in the stems and roots during the growth period. Chlorophyll and vitamin C contents were higher in the leaves than in thestems and roots. On the other hand, moisture content was higher in the stems than in the leaves and roots, and Fe content was highest in the roots. The vitamin C content of this fresh harvested spinach was 2.5 times higher compared to the existing data (Food Nutritive Value Table 2005).

We studied the effects of the methanolic extracts and fractions from leaves, fruits, stems and roots of Curadrania tricuspidata on the formation of lipid peroxide. The methanol extracts of leaves, fructus and stem of this plants decreased the formation of lipid peroxide in the isolated rat liver. The ethyl acetate fraction of leaves and n-butanol fraction of stems reduced the lipid peroxide formation. It showed that arthocarpesin, one of the constituents isolated from this plant, lowered the formation of lipic peroxide by 13%, 21%, 22% and 25% at the concentration of $10^{-8},\;10^{-6},\;10^{-4}\;and\;10^{-2}mg/ml$, respectively.

Polysaccharide (PS) was fractionated from hot-water extract of Artemisia iwayomogi Kitamura stems. PS showed considerably higher hydroxyl radical scavenging activity than caffeic acid and glutathione. PS showed lower superoxide anion radical scavenging activity than hydroquinone and ascorbic acid. The scavenging activity of PS on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by human neutrophils with zymosan was determined by the lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence assay. The scavenging effect of the PS on ROS as determined by the chemiluminescence assay was about 2-fold stronger than that of ascorbic acid at the same concentration. PS significantly decreased protein carbonyl and malonaldehyde contents in UVB irradiated skin homogenates, which was comparable to glutathione at the same concentration. This result suggested that PS derived from A. iwayomogi Kitamura stems may be a potent candidate as functional compound for the protection on UVB induced skin damage in cosmetics.

The chemical components of tobacco stalk, stems of tobacco caltivations, were analyzed and reconstituted tobacco sheet were made from the stalk and tobacco hyproducts by rolled and paper reconstitute tobacco sheet making process. The results were summarized as follow 1. In the viewpoint of chemical components, nicotine, total nitrogen and ash content of stalk were lower than those of stems, but crude fiber was two times higher than stems. 2. Reconstituted tobacco sheet of tobacco stalk blended were improved fragility and specific gravity than those of control. 3. Smoke components delivery of cigarette made from reconstituted tobacco sheet of tobacco stalk blended were similar to control cigarette. 4. According to the result of ranking preference test for control and sample cigarette, were not recognized significant at 5 percent level. 5. According to the result of areas test for control and sample cigarette, were not recognized significant at 5 percent level. 6. Optimum stalk blend ratio of reconstituted tobacco sheet manufacturing was from about 20 to 40% to the rolled sheet, and was from about 5 to 10% to the paper making process tobacco sheet.

The Present study was undertaken to obtain the basic information on the development of multistem varieties of ginseng. The root weight per plant of multi-stem ginseng was hi燥or than that of single stem ginseng, and it was found that the greater variance due to the growing area was clear in the frequency of multistem plant. The broad heritability estimate for the number of steams was lower with the increase of the age of ginseng. The number of stems per plant was positively correlated with the number of branch roots, number of dormancy buds, and root weight. However, the root diameter was negatively correlated with the number of stems is per plant. Based on path analysis, the number of branch roots and dormancy buds showed the maximum indirect positive effects on the number of stems.
