This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of 'Jakyakgamcho-Tang' and parched 'Jakyakgamcho-Tang' on anti-inflammatory and antiulcerative actions, and motility of isolated intestine of mice. The results of this study were summarized as follows; Anti-inflammatory effect was showed markedly by the administration of water extract of 'Jakyakgamcho-Tang' and parched 'Jakyakgamcho-Tang'. Isolated intestine of mice was relaxed with the treatment of 'Jakyakgamcho-Tang' and parched 'Jakyakgamcho-Tang' and intestinal contraction induced by $BaCl_2$ and acetylcholine was also inhibited. The water extract of 'Jakyakgamcho-Tang' and parched 'Jakyakgamcho-Tang' were significantly inhibited Shay's ulceration in rats.

The antiulcerative effect of Sikhe(Korean traditional sweet rice drink) on stomach ulcer induced by ethanol treatment was investigated. Fifty male mice were divided into 5 groups consisting of control group and 4 Sikhe groups fed 0.3% commercial Sikhe(group I), 3% commercial Sikhe(group II), 0.3% home-made Sikhe(group III) and 3% home-made Sikhe(group IV). Mice were fed experimental diet ad libitum for 45 days. Growth, stomach surface pH, gastric wall mucosa and ulcer index were examined. Feed intake and weight gain did not show significant differences among 5 groups(p>0.05). The stomach surface pH and the amount of gastric wall mucosa of Sikhe fed groups(group I~IV) were higher than those of the control group, but were not significantly different(p>0.05) . The ulcer indices of the control and Sikhe fed groups were 18.6$\pm$6.58mm and 13.7$\pm$5.87~17.8$\pm$9.10, respectively. But significant differences were not found between the control and the Sikhe fed groups(p>0.05) though mean values of Sikhe fed groups were lower than that of the control group.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the gastrotherapeutic effects of the extract of Rosa rugosa. It can be regarded that the antigastric and anti-ulcerative effect of Rosa rugosa is originated from the reduction of total acid output identified by gastric secretion test. To clarify the protective mechanism of the Rosa rugosa extract, the gastropathy was induced in rats with alcohol-salicylate and the activities of the free radical scavenging enzymes were examined. The acitivity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxide were significantly increased and the total content of glutathione was recovered. We concluded that the protective effect of the extract of Rosa rugosa on gastropathy in rats is its ability increased the activities of the free radical scavenging enzymes.

Cirsium japonicum var. ussuriense (CJ) is used as a folk medicine for diuretic, arthritis, dyspepsia, and bleeding in Korea. Until now, more than fifteen kinds of CJ were identified and among them, Cirsium japonicum var. nakaianum Nakai was selected as experimental material. Both that from The Medical Herb Garden of Seoul National University located at Gayang-dong, Koyang city and native that from a hillock near Dangjin, Chungnam were collected and analyzed to determine whether it is varied in efficacy on their habitats. Extracts and fractions of CJ had a strong effect of antibacterial activity on H. pylori and antioxidant effects. And the CJ from Garden and Dangjin were showed to be more efficient in acute gastritis through the HCl${\cdot}$ethanol-induced gastric lesion test and chronic gastritis through the indomethacin-induced gastric lesion test, respectively. This study proved that the effects of CJ are varied by their habitats. Also, these results suggest that the CJ has potentials for use as functional food and medicine.

This study was designed to determine the effect of newly synthesized antiulcer agent, 5-pyrrolyl-6-halo-2-(pyridyl-2-methylthio)benzimidazole derivatives (IY-81233), on various experimental ulcers and on the secretion of prostaglandin $E_2(PGE_2)$ into the gastric lumen of rat. IY-81233 was previously reported to have a strong inhibitory effect on $H^+/K^$-ATPase and on gastric acid secretion in rats. Oral administration of IY-81233 at concentrations of 0.2, 2.0, and 20 mg/kg inhibited gastric lesions and duodenal ulcer induced by indomethacin, HCI-ethanol, water-immersion stress, cysteamine, and acetic acid in a dose dependent manner. Their IC$IC_{50}$ values were 3.4, 1.4, 0.8, 1.3, and 1.2 mg/kg, respectively. These results indicate that IY-81233 is a potent antiulcer agent although it is slightly less potent than omeprazole in healing of gastritis and ulcers. The secretion of $PGE_2$ into gastric lumen was also investigated in relation to the cytoprotective effect by IY-81233 in rats. The $PGE_2$ level was not changed significantly by an oral administration of IY-81233, suggesting that IY-81233 has little effect on the gastric protection. Therefore, it can be concluded that IY-81233 exerts prominent antiulcer activity by suppressing gastric acid secretion via an inhibition of a proton pump and not by protecting the gastrointestinal mucosa against various ulcerative stimuli.

Present study was performed for the development of a new supplementary product with gastroprotective effect. The preliminary screening were conducted for the effects of HCl-ethanol-induced gastric lesions in rats. Samples were aloe gel, active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) mentioned that have GI protective property and pulmuone healthy aloe gel (PHAG) that mixture of natural products from Pulmuone company. Aloe gel significantly inhibited HCl-ethanol-induced gastric lesions at the oral dose of 5 ml/kg. AHCC showed the strongest effectiveness at the oral dose of 1,200 mg/kg. PHAG also showed the significant effects at the oral dose of 10, 20 g/kg. In pylorus ligated rats, the treatments of aloe gel, AHCC and PHAG showed decrease in the volume of gastric secretion and acid output. And aloe gel, AHCC and PHAG significantly suppressed the aspirin-induced ulcer and chronic ulcer in pylorus ligated rats. The treatments of aloe gel and PHAG significantly reduced acetic acid-induced ulcer at the oral dose of 5 ml/kg and 10 g/kg for 12 days. In this study; we have found that PHAG had significant improvement in acute gastritis and ulcer at the dose of 20 g/kg and in chronic gastritis and ulcer at the dose of 10 g/kg. Also we evaluated the anti-bacterial activity against H. pylori treated with aloe gel, AHCC and PHAG. PHAG had a equivalent anti bacterial activity with ampicillin against H. pylori at the dose of 1 g/kg.
