Clinical symptoms of acute stroke include loss of consciousness, aphasia, dysphagia, hemiplegia, without urination or defecation, headache, dizziness, chest discomfort, etc. As methods of oriental medical treatment at acute stroke state, acupuncture, fumigating, emetic, sternutatory therapy etc. were known. We treated a 69-year-old female patient who was unconscious after acute stroke with acupuncture and herbal medicine. Also, we chose Croton seed (Crotonis Fructus) Tansy (Artemisiae Argi Folium)-hwan for treatment and fumed it on the patient's nose once a day. After 7 days of treatment with fumigating therapy, we observed improvement in consciousness on the Glasgow coma scale, and other symptoms (aphasia, dysphagia, hemiplegia, without urination or defecation)

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are largely involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. As part of our ongoing project directed toward the discovery of preventive and/or delay agents for diabetic complications from natural sources, 92 Korean traditional herbal medicines have been investigated with an in vitro evaluation system using AGEs inhibitory activity. Of these, 17 herbal medicines exhibited a significant inhibitory activity against AGEs formation. Particularly, 9 herbal medicines, i.e., Cinnamomi Cortex, Artemisiae Argyi Herba, Ammoni Tsao-ko Fructus, Menthae Herba, Amomi Semen, Polygoni Avicularis Herba, Lycopi Herba, Salviae Radix, and Nelumbinis Semen showed more potent inhibitory activity (2-4 fold) than the positive control aminoguanidine.

동의보감에 수재되어 있는 약쑥은 식용뿐만이 아니고 한방에서는 출혈 및 지혈약으로 자궁출혈, 임신중의 출혈, 코피지혈 등에 효과가 크다고 알려져 왔다. 또한 부인병과 건위, 설사치료와 항암활성, HeLa cell에 대한 억제작용도 보고되어 있다. MeOH엑스가 HCl-EtOH유발법, $1\%$ 암모니아 수용액 유발법, HCl-aspirin 유발법등에 의하여 유발된 위 손상에 대하여 강한 억제 작용을 나타내고 있는데 이는 flavonoid의 일종인 eupatilin으로 확인된 바 있다. 이 물질이 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor ($ID_{50}=14{\times}16^{-6}M$) 작용과 prosta glandin synthase의 활성을 약간 억제한다고 보고되었다. 약쑥의 eupatilin과 jaceosidin을 분리하여 그 화학구조를 구명하였다. 이를 지표물질로 하여 HPLC 분석조건과 HPLC용 검체의 조제, 표준검량선을 작성하였다. 강화사자발쑥 100 g의 잎에는 eupatilin은 240 mg, jaceosidin은 10 mg함유되어 있고 싸주아리쑥에는 eupatilin은 330 mg, jaceosidin은 123 mg 함유되어 있음이 확인되었다.

헤파린은 혈액응고계에서 antithrombin III 존재하에서 thrombin과 factor Xa의 작용을 억제함으로써 항응고제로서 작용을 한다. 심정맥혈전증 등 임상에 응용성이 높지만 장기적 사용시 혈소판 감소효과, 출혈, 골다공증 등의 부작용이 나타나고 있다. 본연구는 식물성 생약으로부터 당을 분리 정제하여 화학적으로 sulfation시켜 in vitro와 ex vivo에서 항응고활성을 비교하였다. 우선적으로 aPTT를 측정하여 응고시간의 연장을 시키는 다섯종류의 식물생약을 선택하였고 이 중에서 청호(Artemisiae apiaceae)로부터 산성당을 분리하여 pyridine과 chlorosulfonic산으로 sulfation 시켰율 때 in vitro상에서 항응고활성은 sulfation전에 비해 두드러지게 증가하였다. 농도를 달리 하여 실험동물에 투여시 응고시간의 연장 역시 비슷한 양상을 보여주었다. Thrombin 억제는 발견되지 않았지만 sulfate기와 항응고 활성과는 관계가 있는 것처럼 보였다.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is predicted to be therapeutic target in treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Thus, in order to search for PTP1B inhibitors, we screened the inhibitory activity of PTP1B in the water extracts of 84 medicinal herbs. Among them, the extracts of Pini Folium, Magnoliae Cortex, Artemisiae asiaticae Herba, Schizonepetae Herba, Menthae Herba, Mume Fructus, Cimicifugae Rhizoma, and Amomi Cardamomi Fructus showed relatively significant (58-68%) inhibitory activity against PTP1B. Especially, the methylene chloride fraction of the methanol extract of Menthae Herba (81% inhibition at 30 ${\mu}g$/ml) showed more potent inhibitory activity against PTP1B than others.

This study was attempted to investigate the effects of Composite Preparation (Samulchungkan-Tang) extract (SCTE), Scutellarias Radix extract (SRE), Artemisiae iwayomogii Herba extract (AIHE), Artemisia capillaris Flos extract (ACFE), Paeaniae Radix extract (PRE) and Gardeniae Fructus extract (GFE) on the activities of GOT, GPT, ALP and LDH, and Content of total cholesterol in serum of $CCl_4$ and ${_D}-galactosamime$ intoxicated rats, and bile flow in rats. 1) In $CCl_4-intoxicated$ rats-The activities of S-GOT and S-GPT which were elevated by $CCl_4$ were significantly decreased in dose of SCTE 450 mg/kg, ACFE 600 mg/kg and GFE 300 mg/kg, respectively as compared to $CCl_4$ intoxicated rats. ALP activity increased by $CC1_4-treatment$ was markedly decreased in dose of SCTE 450 mg and 600 mg/kg, SRE 400 mg/kg, AIHE 400 mg/kg, ACFE 600 mg/kg and PRE 300 mg/kg, and LDH activity in SCTE 450 mg and 600 mg/kg, ACFE 600 mg/kg and GFE 300 mg/kg, respectively compared to $CCl_4$ treated rates. ACFE 400 mg/kg and PRE 300 mg/kg decreased the content of total cholesterol increased by $CCl_4$, the liver weight in all sample administered groups was decreased significantly as compared to $CCl_4$ treated groups. 2) In ${_D}-galactosamine$ intoxicated rats-Sample of SCTE 450 mg and 600 mg/kg, SRE 400 mg/kg, AIHF 400 mg and 600 mg/kg, ACFE 600 mg/kg, PRE 300 mg/kg and GFE 300 mg and 500 mg/kg decreased the activities of S-GPT, ALP and LDH which was increased by ${_D}-galactosamine$ intoxication, compared to ${_D}-galactosamine$ intoxicated groups. In S-GOT activity elevated by ${_D}-galactosamine$ was significantly decreased by SCTE 450 mg/kg, ACFE 600mg/kg, AIHE 600 mg/kg, PRE 300 mg/kg, GFE 300 mg and 500 mg/kg. However, SCTE 600 mg/kg, SRE 400 mg/kg, and AIHE 400 mg/kg were not effected significantly. 3) In bile secretion-SCTE 450 mg and 600 mg/kg, ACFE 600 mg/kg and GFE 500mg/kg increased significantly the amount of bile secretion as compared to normal groups, but AIHE 400 mg/kg, SRE 400 mg/kg, and PRE 300 mg/kg did not effected significantiy.
