This study compared the effects of black, white, and red ginseng extracts (WGE, RGE, BGE, 200 mg/kg, p.o.) on learning and memory deficits associated with scopolamine treatment (SCOP, 2 mg/kg, i.p.). Tacrine (THA, 10 mg/kg, p.o.) was used as a positive control. Ginseng significantly reversed SCOP-induced memory impairment in the passiveavoidance test and also reduced escape latency in training trials of the Morris water maze test. The increased acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity produced by SCOP was significantly inhibited by WGE and RGE (p<0.001). SCOP administration had no effect on choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity, but RGE and BGE significantly increased ChAT activity (p<0.05). SCOP administration increased oxidative damage in the brain. Treatment of amnesic mice with ginseng extracts decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and restored superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity to control levels. These results suggest that black ginseng enhances cognitive activity by regulation of cholinergic enzymes and antioxidant systems.

우리나라를 인삼 종주국으로 자리매김한 고려인삼의 기원은 산삼이다. 그 산삼의 채삼 관습의 근거를 조선왕조실록, 일제 강점기 법령, 우리나라 산림법령과 민법 등에서 찾고자 하였다. 조선 시대와 일제 강점기 이전에는 심마니 채삼 관습은 입회관행으로 존재하였지만, 1910년 일제는 강점기 동안 우리나라 고유한 입회권 법리를 왜곡하였다. 일제가 왜곡한 입회권 법리는 해방 이후에 계속돼 1960년 민법 시행 때까지 유지되었다. 민법 시행 이후 입회권 법리는 특수지역권으로 바뀌었다. 입회권의 연원은 조선 시대의 시초장으로 난방용 땔감이나 사료용 풀을 채취할 수 있는 시초장은 조선 시대 그 당시 지역주민이 생존할 수 있는 최소한의 생존권이자 권익이었다. 생존권으로서의 입회권이었기 때문에 일제가 이를 폐지하려고 시도하였지만 실패하였다. 그럼에도 일제가 왜곡한 입회권 법리는 산림관련법령 등에서 지금까지도 유지되고 있다. 1945년 광복이 된 지 70년이 지난 이제는 일제의 심마니 채삼 관습에 관한 왜곡된 법리에서 탈피하여야 하고, 채삼 관행의 근거가 입회관행에서 민법상 특수지역권으로 변화된 것을 인정하여야 한다. 이에 심마니 단체는 법인 아닌 사단이고, 심마니의 채삼 관행은 민법상 특수지역권으로 법리 구성할 수 있고, 심마니의 산삼 채삼 행위는 관습법적으로 유효하다고 보아야 한다. 이를 통해 인삼과 관련된 산삼 채취행위에 관한 법적 성질과 그 근거를 명확히 할 수 있고, 심마니 채삼 행위의 민사법적 책임소재도 명확하게 할 수 있을 것이다.

Red ginsengs are inspected manually by examining those in the dark room with back light illumination. Manual inspection is often influenced by physical condition of inspectors. Sometimes. the best grade, heaven. has some inner holes though it was inspected by a specialist. In order to resolve this problem, this study was performed to develop image processing algorithm to detect the inner holes in the x-ray image of ginseng. Because of little gray value difference between background and ginseng in the image. simple thresholding method was not appropriate. Modified watershed algorithm was used to differentiate the inner holes from background and normal ginseng body. Inner hole edge region detected by watershed algorithm consists of many number of blobs including normal portions. With line profile analysis with scanning one line at a time beginning the starting point. it shelved two peaks both ends representing extracting each blobs. in which setting threshold value as of lower peak value enabled us to obtain inner hole image. Once this procedure has to be done till the finishing point it is completing inner hole detection for one blob. Thus. conducting ail blobs by this procedure is completing inner detection of one whole ginseng. Detection results of the inner holes fer various size of red ginsengs were good even though there was small detection variation. 6.2%. according to position of x-rat tube.

To develop a ginseng product possessing an efficacy for diabetes, ginseng radix ethanol extract was treated with pectinase and obtained the GINST. In the present study, we evaluate the beneficial effect of GINST on high fat diet (HFD)-induced hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia and action mechanism(s) in ICR mice. The mice were randomly divided into five groups: regular diet group (RD), high fat diet group (HFD), HFD plus GINST at 75 mg/kg (GINST75), 150 mg/kg (GINST150), and 300 mg/kg (GINST300). Oral glucose tolerance test reveals that GINST improves the glucose tolerance after glucose challenge. Fasting plasma glucose and insulin levels were decreased by 4.3% and 4.2% in GINST75, 10.9% and 20.0% in GINST150, and 19.6% and 20.9% in GINST300 compared to those in HFD control group. Insulin resistance indices were also markedly decreased by 8.2% in GINST75, 28.7% in GINST150, and 36.4% in GINST300, compared to the HFD control group. Plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol and non-esterified fatty acid levels in the GINST300 group were decreased by 13.5%, 22.7% and 24.1%, respectively, compared to those in HFD control group. Enlarged adipocytes of HFD control group were markedly decreased in GINST-treated groups, and shrunken islets of HFD control mice were brought back to near normal shape in GINST300 group. Furthermore, GINST enhanced phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4). In summary, GINST prevents HFD-induced hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia through reducing insulin resistance via activating AMPK-GLUT4 pathways, and could be a potential therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetes.

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of Korean ginseng extract on carcinogenesis induced by various chemical carcinogens. Red ginseng extract was used for this study and was administered orally to the experimental animals. Carcinogens that were injected in subscapsular region of ICR newborn mice within 24 hours after birth were 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzan-thracene (DMBA), urethane, N-2-fluorenylacetamide(AAF), aflatoxin $B_1$ and tobacco smoke condensate. N -methyl-N -nitroso-N'-nitroguani-dine(MNNG) was injected subcutaneously at the back of wistar rats. Experimental animals were autopsied in immediately after being sacrificed. All major organs were examined grossly and weighted. After fixation histopathological preparations were made for microscopical study. Following results were obtained. In DMBA group sacrificed at the 26th week after the treatment with DMBA, the incidence of lung adenoma was $77\%$ and the average number of the tumor was 17. However, in DMBA combined with red ginseng group, the incidence was $78\%$ and the average number of lung adenoma was 14.1. This indicates that ginseng extract had no effect on the incidence of lung adenoma but decreased the average number of lung adenoma by $17\%.$ In DMBA group sacrificed at the 48th week after the injection of DMBA, the lung adenoma incidence was $88\%.$ The average diameter of the largest lung adenoma was 3.5 cm, the incidence of diffuse pulmonary infiltration was $18\%$ and the average lung weight of male experimental mice was $528.2{\pm}469.1\;gm.$ On the other hand, in DMBA combined with red ginseng group sacrificed at the 48th week, the incidence of lung adenoma was $96\%.$ The average diameter of the largest adenoma was 2.7 cm, the incidence of diffuse pulmonary infiltration was $7\%$ and the average lung weight of male mice was $418.0{\pm}520\;gm.$ These observations show that ginseng extract did not have any inhibitory effect on the incidence of lung adenoma but decreased the average diameter of the largest lung adenoma by $23\%,$ the incidence of duffuse pulmonary infiltration by $63\%$ and the average lung weight of male experimental mice by $21\%.$ From these results we have found that the prolonged administration with ginseng extract showed no inhibitory effect on the incidence of adenoma but it had the inhibitory effect on the proliferation of lung adenomas induced by DMBA. In urethane group sacrificed at the 28th week after the injection of urethane, the incidence of lung adenoma was $94\%$ and the average number of lung adenoma was 8.6. In urethane combined with red ginseng group, the. incidence of lung adenoma was $73\%$ and the average number of adenoma was 6.0. These results indicate that there were $22\%$ decrease of the lung adenoma incidence and $31\%$ decrease of the average number of adenoma in urethane combined with red ginseng group. And in urethane group sacrificed at the 50th week, the incidence of lung adenoma was $98\%$ and the incidence of diffuse pulmonary infiltration was $14\%$. In urethane combined with ginseng group the incidence of lung adenoma was $85\%$ and the incidence of diffuse pulmonary infiltration was $12\%$. Therefore the ginseng administration resulted in $15\%$ decrease of the lung adenoma incidence and $14\%$ decrease of the diffuse pulmonary infiltration incidence. From these results we knew that the prolonged administration with ginseng extract inhibited the incidence and also the proliferation of the lung adenoma induced by urethane. Lung adenoma and hepatoma were induced in the experimental mice sacrificed at the 68th week but not in the experimental mice sacrificed at the 28th week after the injection of AAF. In AAF group sacrificed at the 68th week after the injection of AAF the incidence of lung adenoma was $18\%$ and the incidence of hepatoma was $27\%$. And in AAF combined with ginseng group the lung adenoma incidence was $12\%$ and the hepatoma incidence was $37\%$. So the ginseng seemed to decrease the lung adenoma incidence by AAF, but we were unable to conclude the significant inhibitory effect of the ginseng extract on the incidence of lung adenoma by AAF because the above incidence of lung adenoma were similar to that of control group which was $11\%$. And these experimental data revealed that ginseng extract didn't have any inhibitory effect on the incidence of hepatoma induced by AAF. In aflatoxin $B_1$ group sacrificed at the 56th week, the incidence of lung adenoma was $24\%$ and hepatoma was $11\%$. However in aflatoxin $B_1$ combined with ginseng group the incidence of lung adenoma was $17\%$ and hepatoma was $3\%$ These results indicate that there were $29\%$ decrease of the lung adenoma incidence and $75\%$ decrease of the hepatoma incidence in aflatoxin $B_1$ combined with ginseng group. In tobacco smoke condensate experimental group sacrificed at 67th week, no tumors were induced except just a few lung adenoma. The lung adenoma incidence both in tobacco smoke condensate group and in tobacco smoke condensate combined with ginseng group was $8\%$. And this incidence rate was similar to that of control group. These results indicate that the injection of 320 ug tobacco smoke condensate per ICR newborn mouse was unable to induce lung adenoma in our experiments. In MNNG group sacrificed at the 27th week the tumor incidence was $38.5\%$ and in MNNG combined with ginseng extract group was $37\%$. In MNNG group for investigation of the life span of tumor bearing rats the tumor incidence was $93\%$ and the average life span of tumor bearing rats was 318 days. And in MNNG combined with ginseng extract group the tumor incidence was $96\%$ and the average life span was 337 days. Tumor induced by MNNG was almost sarcoma. This indicates that there was no inhibitory effect of ginseng extract on the tumor incidence, but the extract prolonged the average life span of tumor bearing rats by approximately 19 days.

홍삼박의 보존성을 향상시켜 반추동물사료 또는 사료첨가제로 이용할 목적으로 옥수수silage(대조구, corn silage; CS)와 홍삼박silage(GS), 홍삼박+0.5%분쇄옥수수(GS0.5), 홍삼박+1.0%분쇄옥수수(GS1.0) 및 홍삼박+유산균(GSL) silage를 제조하였다. silage 발효 기간중 0, 3, 7 및 60일에 pH를 측정하고 60일에 시료를 건조하여 분쇄한 후 화학조성분과 in vivo 건물 소화율은 측정한 결과는 다음과 같이 요약되었다. 1. Silage의 화학조성분은 원료 홍삼박에 비하여 silage의 성분변화는 크게 나타나지 않았다. 전반적인 홍삼박 silage의 건물기준 조단백질(17.7~18.8%)이 옥수수 silage(8.8%)보다 높았다(P<0.05). 또한 홍삼박silage의 Ca함량은 GS, GS0.5, GS1.0 및 GSL이 0.99, 1.13, 0.99 및 1.03%로 나타나 옥수수silage(CS)의 0.31%보다 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 그러나 홍삼박 silage와 간에는 유의차가 나타내지 않았다. 2. Silage의 pH는 처음(0일)부터 홍삼박 silage가 낮았고, 발효 3, 7, 60일에서는 분쇄옥수수 0.5% 첨가구(GS0.5)가 4.2, 3.6 및 3.3으로 가장 낮았고 60일 기준으로는, 무처리구(GS)(3.6)과 유산균구(GSL)(3.7)가 높았다(p<0.05). 3. Silage의 in vivo 건물소화율에서 72시간소화율은 CS, GS, GS0.5, GS1.0 및 GSL이 각각 52.1, 76.5, 75.8, 72.9 및 77.3%로 나타나 옥수수silage보다 모든 홍삼박 silage에서 높았고(p<0.05) 홍삼박silage간에는 유이차를 보이지 않았다. 4. Silage의 발효특성중 총유기산 함량은 CS, GS, GS0.5, GS1.0 및 GSL이 각각 87.3, 44.7, 37.8, 46.3 및 47.2mM/dl로 CS가 가장 높았다. 총산 대유산 함량은 각각 53.7, 60.2, 77.2, 83.4 및 77.3%로 CS와 GS만 70% 미만이고 다른구는 70%이상으로 높게 나타났다. 5. Silage의 in vivo 건물 소화율은 발효 72시간에서 CS, GS, GS0.5, GS1.0 및 GSL이 각각 52.1, 76.5, 75.8, 72.7 및 77.3%로 나타나 CS보다 홍삼박 silage에서 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 홍삼박 silage의 품질은 분쇄 옥수수와 유산균첨가제구에서 양호했으나, 경제적인 면을 고려하여 분쇄옥수수 0.5%(GS0.5)가 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다.
