Objectives : To study the use of Cinnamomum cassia among the 394 prescriptions listed in Donguibogam Methods : After selecting a total of 394 prescriptions, 284 prescriptions with Cinnamon Cassia as the protagonist were analyzed and summarized in the table. In particular, the investigation was conducted by comparing the Cinnamomi Ramulus and Cinnamomi Cortex. Results : The Cinnamomum cassia is used in 52 fields of treatment such as common cold & flu diseases, abscess and stroke, etc. Prescriptions containing Cinnamomi Ramulus were most commonly used for cold disease. And prescriptions containing Cinnamomi Cortex were most commonly used for wind diseases. Prescriptions that utilize Cinnamomum cassia are used in the treatment of feeling of cold, numbness, low back pain, cough and so on. Prescriptions containing Cinnamomi Ramulus mainly treat cold disease. And prescriptions containing Cinnamomi Cortex treat mainly abdominal pain and diarrhea. 14 prescriptions of the same name are included with Cinnamomum cassia. The other unclassified Cinnamomum cassia is considered suitable for use with Cinnamomi Cortex. Cinnamomum cassia is only used as a raw material. Conclusions : According to the classification of Cinnamomum cassia, further study of prescription utilization is needed.

본 연구는 고려시대 및 조선시대 고문헌에 출현한 녹나무의 기록을 고찰한 논문이다. 녹나무의 한자 표기인 '장(樟)' 자를 바탕으로 녹나무의 정의와 용도를 살펴보았고, 현대적 개념과의 오류 사례를 분석하여 다음과 같은 가능성을 제시하고자하였다. 첫째, 녹나무에 대한 정의와 사례를 분석한 결과, 현재 녹나무로 해석되는 남(枏) 남(楠) 예(豫) 장(樟) 가운데, '장(樟)'이 현대적인 개념의 녹나무에 가장 부합한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 과거의 기록에서 녹나무가 생육 불가능한 지역에 출현하는 모습을 확인하였는데, 녹나무는 대표적인 남부수종이니 녹나무가 아닌 다른 나무를 녹나무라 지칭한 오류로 사료된다. 셋째, 다른 수종과 오인한 사례들을 추적하여 기록을 고찰한 결과, 이규경의 "오주연문장전산고" 중 "침뇌변증설"에서 모감주나무와 혼동했을 가능성이 확인되었다. 이상 본 연구에서 살펴본 녹나무의 경우 외에도 여타 문헌에 나타난 오류 사례의 검증이 요구된다. 또한 현대의 성상별 기준과 문헌의 대조를 통해 선별하는 과정을 병행하여, 녹나무에 대한 새로운 가능성을 도출할 후속연구를 기대하는 바이다.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the immunological effect of Ramulus Cinnamomum aqua-acupuncture on the cellular immune response in mice with LPS induced arthritis. Methods : All the BALB/C mice used in this study were bred and maintaned in our pathogen-free mouse colony and were 6wk of age at the start of the experiment. The experimental model of arthritis was induced by injeciton of 300${\mu}g$/kg LPS in mice knee joint. Ramulus Cinnamomum aqua-acupuncture was injected into Yangnungchon(Gb34) of mice 2daily for 14days. Immunohistochemical analysis was carried out to assess CD4+, CD8+, CD11b, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-2R and CD106 expression in common iliac lymph nodes and synovial menbrane after stimulation with Ramulus Cinnamomum. Electron microscopy was carried out to assess change of synovial membrane. Ramulus Cinnamomum aqua-acupuncture stimulation group was compared to control group and non stimutated with aqua-acupuncture. Resutts : At day 14 post arthritis onset, Immunohistological studies using monoclonal antibodies showed that Ramulus Cinnamomum aqua-acupuncture goup had decreased expression of CD4+, CD8+, CD11b, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-2R and CD106 at common illiac lymph nodes and synovial membrane compared with control group. Conclusions : Ramulus Cinnamomum aqua-acupuncture stimulation inhibited the development of cellular immunity to LPS-induced arthritis in mice. Thus, aqua-acupuncture stimulation may have preventive effects on autoimmune inflammatory joint diseases. The effects of AA on immune function and disease activity in patients with RA warrant further investigation.

Plant extracts produced from branches of Crataegus pinnatifida and barks of Crataegus pinnatifida inhibited ethanol-induced cytotoxicity and DNA damage in liver cells. Furthermore, these two extracts inhibited the expression and activities of CYP2E1 enzyme. Cinnamomum cassia had a better effect on inhibition of DNA damage than Crataegus pinnatifida, as well as showed a high tendency to inhibit CYP2E1 expression and catalytic activities. It is considered that extracts produced from Crataegus pinnatifida or Cinnamomum cassia have an effect to reduce ethanol-induced cytotoxicity and DNA damage in liver cells. Therefore, we suggest to use Crataegus pinnatifida and Cinnamomum cassia and their ingredients as potential candidate substances to prevent and treat ethanol-induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in liver cells.

Objectives : This study was designed to evaluate the antidiabetes effects of Cinnamomum cassia and Aconitum carmichaeli in type II diabetes mellitus model mice. Methods : The experimental animals were divided into 3 groups and treated for 50 days as follows:control group, pharmacopuncture group and extract administration group. The effects of Cinnamomum cassia and Aconitum carmichaeli were observed by measuring body weight, blood glucose, insulin, insulin immunoreactivity of the pancreas and subpopulation of splenocytes. Results : Cinnamomum cassia sample groups were reduced a little body weight than control group. Glucose level of extract administration group lowered than control and pharmacopuncture group. Insulin immunoreactivity of Aconitum carmichaeli extract group appeared more effective than control and pharmacopuncture group. Conclusions : This study shows that Cinnamomum cassia and Aconitum carmichaeli have a distinct antidiabetes effect in type II diabetes mellitus model.

Background & Objective: Articular cartilage is a potential target for drugs designed to inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to stop or slow the destruction of the proteoglycanand collagen in the cartilage extracellular matrix. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Cinnamomum cassia in inhibiting the release of glycosaminoglycan (GAG), the degradation of collagen, and MMP activity in rabbit and human articular cartilage explants. Methods: The cartilage-protective effects of Cinnamomum cassia were evaluated by using glycosaminoglycan degradation assay, collagen degradation assay, colorimetric analysis of MMP activity, measurement of lactate dehydrogenase activity and histological analysis in rabbit cartilage explants culture. Results: Interleukin-1a (IL-1a) rapidly induced GAG, but collagen was much less readily released from cartilage explants. Cinnamomum cassia significantly inhibited GAG and collagen release in a concentration-dependent manner. Cinnamomum cassia dose-dependently inhibited MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-13 activities from IL-1a-treated cartilage explants culture when tested at concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 1 mg/ml. Conclusion : These results indicate that Cinnamomum cassia inhibits the degradation of proteoglycan and collagen through the down regulation of MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-13 activities of IL-1a-stimulated rabbit and human articular cartilage explants.

계피(Cinnamomum cassia Presl)의 열수 추출물은 alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)의 활성을 저해하였고 IC₅₀값은 45.6 ㎍/mL이었다. 계피 추출물의 ADH 저해 성분은 산과 열에 비교적 안정하였으나 휘발성을 가진 물질로 나타났다. 계피에서 ADH 저해 물질의 추출을 위한 최적 온도와 시간은 각각 80 ℃와 2시간이었다. 계피의 정유 성분 중 cinnamaldehyde가 ADH 저해의 주된 물질이었다. Cinnamaldehyde는 기질인 에탄올에 대해 ADH 활성의 경쟁적 저해제로 여겨진다. 따라서 계피 열수 추출물과 cinnamaldehyde는 ADH의 활성을 효과적으로 저해하는 숙취해소 천연소재로서의 활용가능성을 보여주었다.

Chinese crude drug 'Gye Ji(桂枝)' is listed in Shen-nung-pen-tsao-ching(神農本草經), as the remedy for dispelling pathogenic factor from the exterior of the body by diaphoresis. In Korean, herbals origin of Gye Ji is branch of Cinnamomum cassia. Considering the descriptions in many herbals(本草書), the origin of Gye Ji reported by Su-Ching(蘇敬), Han-Pao-Sheng(韓保昇) and Li -Shin-Chen(李時珍) is regarded as the bark of branch of Cinnamomum cassia.

The active antifouling compounds coumarin and its derivatives were isolated from the cinnamon tree Cinnamomum loureiroi. The antifouling activities were determined using representative soft fouling organisms: the seaweed Ulvapertusa and diatom Navicula annexa. The chemical constituents with antifouling activities were identified as coumarin, hydroxylcoumarin, coumaric acid, and cinnamaldehyde by interpreting nuclear magnetic resonance, and high-resolution mass spectroscopy data. These compounds were isolated from 1.09 g of crude Cinnamomum sp. methanol extract, yielding approximately 18.4, 6.3, 9.8, and 14.7 mg of coumarin, hydroxylcoumarin, coumaric acid, and cinnamaldehyde, respectively. The compounds inhibited U. pertusa zoospores with $EC_{50}$ values of $0.13-0.25{\mu}g/mL$, and the diatom N. annexa with $EC_{50}$ of $0.21-0.81{\mu}g/mL$.
