This experiment was conducted to study the effects of medicinal plant extract on performance in broiler chickens. A total of eight hundred forty, 1-d-old broiler chicks(Ross) were randomly allocated to 7 treatments with 4 replicates of 30 birds per replicate. The treatments were negative control (NC, diets without antibiotics), positive control (PC, diets with-containing antibiotics), Schisandrae fructus (T1), Scutellariae radix (T2), Camellia sinensis (T3), Artemisia capillaris (T4) and mixed medicinal plants (T5) extracts added to drinking water. The final body weight, body weight gain and feed conversion rate were significantly improved in all treatments compared to NC (P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in the relative weights of liver, spleen, pancreas, bursa of Fabricius and intestinal tract among the groups. The relative lengths of duodenum, jejunum and ileum were significantly decreased in PC compared with other groups (P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in the cecal microflora. The contents of triacylglycerol (TG), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) in blood serum were not significantly influenced. The concentration of cholesterol in blood serum was significantly decreased in all treated groups as compared to those of the control (P<0.05). There was no difference in the components of leukocytes and erythrocytes among the groups.

In this study, we focused to identify whether eupatilin (5,7-dihydroxy-3',4',6-trimethoxyflavone), an extract from Artemisia argyi folium, prevents $H_2O_2$-induced injury of cultured feline esophageal epithelial cells. Cell viability was measured by the conventional MTT reduction assay. Western blot analysis was performed to investigate the expression of 5-lipoxygenase by $H_2O_2$ treatment in the absence and presence of inhibitors. When cells were exposed to 600 ${\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$ for 24 hours, cell viability was decreased to 40%. However, when cells were pretreated with 25~150 ${\mu}M$ eupatilin for 12 hours, viability was significantly restored in a concentration-dependent manner. $H_2O_2$-treated cells were shown to express 5-lipoxygenase, whereas the cells pretreated with eupatilin exhibited reduction in the expression of 5-lipoxygenase. The $H_2O_2$-induced increase of 5-lipoxygenase expression was prevented by SB202190, SP600125, or NAC. We further demonstrated that the level of leukotriene $B_4$ ($LTB_4$) was also reduced by eupatilin, SB202190, SP600125, NAC, or nordihydroguaiaretic acid (a lipoxygenase inhibitor) pretreatment. $H_2O_2$ induced the activation of p38MAPK and JNK, this activation was inhibited by eupatilin. These results indicate that eupatilin may reduce $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity, and 5-lipoxygenase expression and $LTB_4$ production by controlling the p38 MAPK and JNK signaling pathways through antioxidative action in feline esophageal epithelial cells.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effect of medicinal plants used by diabetic patients. Fourteen medicinal plants were selected and antioxidant activity such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, inhibition effect of linoleic acid autoxidation and low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value were measured. The Cornus officinalis had DPPH radical scavenging activity of 84.79%, which was higher than the 78.79% for $\alpha$-tocopherol. Rosa rugosa Thunberg, Pueraria thundergiana Bentham, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis and Sasamorpha purpurascens Nakai also had high values. Extracts with higher DPPH radical scavenging activities had higher total phenol concentrations, and positive correlations between these parameters were found. Inhibitory activities of linoleic acid autoxidation, LDL oxidation and TBA value, used as indices of oxidative stress, were observed in most of the selected medicinal plants. The highest inhibitory activity for TBA value was observed in the extract of Pueraria thundergiana Bentham. Rosa rugosa Thunberg (75.50 %), Sasamorpha purpurascens Nakai (74.00 %), and Cornus officinalis (73.00 %) all had high antioxidant activity against linoleic acid autoxidation, similar to that of $\alpha$-tocopherol. The same 3 plants also had high in inhibitory activity against LDL oxidation. Therefore, we demonstrated that medicinal plants used as folk remedy by diabetic patients had antioxidant activity. Especially, Rosa rugosa Thunberg, Cornus officinalis, Pueraria thundergiana Bentham, Arlemisia princeps var. orientalis, and Sasamorpha purpurascens Nakai had high phenol concentrations which resulted in high values for DPPH radical scavenging. These same plants exhibited high values for inhibitory activities for TBA value, linoleic acid autoxidation and LDL oxidation, indices associated with lipid peroxidation.

Isoniazid was discovered in 1950's and since then it has been widely used as a synthetic bactericidal agent in the treatment of tuberculosis. However, the adverse effect of isoniazid has been reported to show significant hepatotoxicity in approximately 1-2% of patients. Nitrofurantoin {1-(5-nitro-2-furfurylideneamino)-hydantoin} is a synthetic nitrofuran that is commonly used for the treatment and prophylaxis of urinary tract infections, but its use is associated with liver cirrhosis and fatal liver necrosis. Therefore, studies for natural products with protective effect on the isoniazid- and/or nitrofurantoin-induced hepatotoxcity would be valuable as the potential therapeutic use. 107 plants sources were collected at Mt. Baekdu, and extracted with methanol. These extracts had been screened for the protective effects against isoniazid- and/or nitrofurantoin-induced cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells at the both 100 and $300{\mu}g/ml$. Five methanolic extracts, Acanthopanax senticosus, Acer mono, Asparagus schoberioides, Fagopyrum tataricum, Potentilla centigrana, showed significant protective effects against isoniazidinduced hepatotoxicity. Two methanolic extracts, Acer mono and Leonurus artemisia, showed significant protective effects against nitrofurantoin-induced cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the world's most common primary malignant tumor of the liver. In-Jin-ho-Tang (IJHT) has been used as a traditional Chinese herbal medicine since ancient times, and today it is widely used as a medication for jaundice associated with inflammation of the liver. In-Jin-Ho-Tang is a drug preparation consisting of three herbs: Artemisiae Capillaris Herba (Artemisia capillaries $T_{HUNS}$, Injinho in Korean), Gardeniae Fructus (Gardenia jasminodes $E_{LLIS}$, Chija in Korean) and Rhei radix et rhizoma (Rheum palmatum L., Daehwang in Korean). This study investigated whether or not methanol extract of IJHT could induce HepG2 cancer cell death. Cytotoxic activity of IJHT on HepG2 cells was measured using an XTT assay, with an $IC_{50}$ value of $700{\mu}g/ml$ at 24 h Apoptosis induction by IJHT in HepG2 cells was verified by the cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase, and a decrease in procaspase-3, -8, -9. Treatment of IJHT resulted in the release of cytochrome c into cytosol, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (${\Delta}{\Psi}_m$), decrease in anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, and an increase in pro-apoptotic Bax expression. Thus, IJHT induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells via activation of caspase and mitochondria pathway. These results indicate that IJHT has potential as an anti-cancer agent.

ρ-Hydroxyacetophenone is an important and versatile compound that has been widely used in medicine, cosmetics, new materials, and other fields. At present, there are two ways to obtain ρ-hydroxyacetophenone. One is to extract it from plants, such as Artemisia capillaris Thunb and Cynanchum otophyllum Schneid, and the other is to synthesize it by using chemical methods. Of these two methods, the second is the main one, although it has problems, such as flammable and explosive reagents, difficult separation of by-products, and harsh reaction conditions. To solve these issues, we adopted genetic engineering in this study to construct engineered Escherichia coli containing Hped gene or EbA309 gene. Whole-cell biotransformation was conducted under the same conditions to select the engineered E. coli with the higher activity. Orthogonal tests were conducted to determine the optimal biotransformation condition of the engineered E. coli. The results showed that the optimal condition was as follows: substrate concentration of 40 mmol/l, IPTG concentration of 0.1 mmol/l, an induction temperature of 25℃, and a transformation temperature of 35℃. Under this condition, the effects of transformation time on the ρ-hydroxyacetophenone concentration and cell growth were further studied. We found that as the transformation time extended, the ρ-hydroxyacetophenone concentration showed a gradually increasing trend. However, when the ρ-hydroxyacetophenone concentration increased to 1583.19 ± 44.34 mg/l in 24 h, cell growth was inhibited and then entered a plateau. In this research, we realized the synthesis of ρ-hydroxyacetophenone by biotransformation, and our findings lay a preliminary foundation for further improving and developing this method.

전통 음료인 식혜의 기능성 강화를 위한 연구의 일환으로 섬애약쑥 추출물을 0. 5, 10, 15 및 20% 첨가하여 식혜를 제조하고, 5시간 동안 당화 시키면서 1시간 간격으로 품질특성을 분석하였다. 섬애약쑥 추출물을 첨가한 식혜의 탁도는 당화 2시간에 최고치를 보인 후 점차 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 당화 5시간에는 섬애약쑥 추출물 5-15% 첨가군 간에는 유의적인 차이가 없었고, 20% 첨가군은 유의적으로 높았다. 쑥 식혜의 명도값은 당화 완료 후 모든 실험군에서 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 적색도와 황색도는 당화시간이 경과하고 섬애약쑥 추출물의 첨가량이 많을수록 더 높은 경향이었다. 당화 전 pH는 섬애약쑥 추출물의 첨가 비율에 따른 유의차는 없었고, 당화 완료 후 5.68-5.73의 범위로 증가하였다. 가용성 고형분 및 환원당의 함량은 당화 시간의 경과와 섬애약쑥 추출물의 첨가 비율이 많을수록 높아지는 경향이었다. 총 폴리페놀 화합물의 함량과 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성도 당화 시간과 섬애약쑥 추출물의 첨가와 정의 상관관계를 나타내며 높아졌다. 관능평가 결과에서는 섬애약쑥 추출물 5% 첨가군은 대조군과 차이가 없었으나 20% 첨가군의 경우 강한 색과 쑥 향으로 인해 기호도가 낮았고 전체적인 기호도도 유의적으로 낮았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 섬애약쑥 추출물을 첨가한 식혜의 경우 쑥 추출액의 첨가량이 높을수록 항산화활성이나 이화학적 특성은 향상되었지만 관능평가에서는 오히려 기호도가 낮아지므로 적정 첨가비율은 15% 이내가 적합한 것으로 판단된다.

생쑥의 건조방법에 따른 지방산 변화를 검토하기 위하여 강화도산 생쑥을 양건(陽乾), 음건(陰乾), 열풍건조(熱風乾燥) 및 냉동건조(冷凍乾燥)시켜 ethyl ether extract함량과 그 구성 지방산의 함량 변화를 조사하였다. 1. Ethyl ether extract의 함량은 냉동건조(冷凍乾燥)된 쑥이 5.68%로 가장 높았고 열풍건조(熱風乾燥)된 쑥이 2.45%로 가장 낮았다. 2. GLC에 의한 지방산 분석 결과 11종의 지방산 중 주된 지방산은 필수 지방산인 linoleic acid와 linolenic acid외에 palmitic acid가 다량 함유되어 식품 영양학적인 면에서 고무적인 것으로 사료된다. 3. 건조 방법에 따른 건조쑥의 지방산의 종류에는 차이가 없었으나 그 조성은 상이하였다. 즉 냉동건조(冷凍乾燥)된 쑥은 산화(酸化)되기 쉬운 고도(高度) 불포화지방산(不飽和脂肪酸)$(C_{18:2}+C_{18:3})$의 함량이 높을 뿐만 아니라 저비점지방산(低沸點脂肪酸)들의 감소가 가장 적었다. 한편 열풍건조(熱風乾燥)된 쑥은 저비점지방산(低沸點脂肪酸)들이 상당량 감소되었으나 고도(高度) 불포화지방산(不飽和脂肪酸)은 음건(陰乾) 및 양건(陽乾)시킨 쑥보다 다소 안정하였으며 양건(陽乾)시킨 쑥의 변화가 가장 현저하였다.
