This study had a purpose of further investigating and developing the usage of the eco-friendly functional dye that has physiological and pharmacological functions. This study was implemented complex dyeing method which used both natural dyes such as Gardenia jasminoides J.Ellis colorant, which are the yellow dyes that have high brightness and low chroma, and Xanthium strumarium L. extract. The silk fabrics were used to dye in various methods. They were also used to investigate functionalities dyed fabrics by various treating method, such as their color fastness, antibacterial activities and deodorization, the following were obtained. The fabrics that were dyed with herbs had decreasing brightness as the herbs extract concentrations were increased and had subtly changing chroma. But, because their K/S values were under 0.5, they were not properly dyed. Color fastness differed according to the natural dyes and herbs' complex dyeing order. The Color fastness was good when the fabrics were dyed with the colorant first, and then with the herb. When the fabrics were dyed with mixture dyeing solution, the natural dye and the herb extract, the herb didn't affect the dyeabilities of fabrics as much. When the fabrics were dyed with the mixture of the colorant and the herb extract, the dyeabilities didn't have much changes. However, their color fastnesses were improved a little bit due to the complex dyeing condition. When the fabrics were dyed with the mixture of the colorant and the herbs extract, their antibacterial activities and deodorization were increased.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory effects of Juglans regia complex extract(JCE) consisted of Juglans regia, Eucommia ulmoides, Eleutherococcus senticosus and Zingiber officinale on osteoclast differentiation. Cell toxicity test by using CCK-8, TRAP activity and TRAP positive multi-nucleated cell counting were performed to evaluate inhibitory effect on differentiation of osteoclast from bone marrow derived macrophages(BMMs) induced by receptor activator of nuclear $factor-{\kappa}B$ ligand(RANKL). As a result, JCE inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in BMMs dose-dependently without cytotoxicity. These results suggest that JCE may have a potential role for treating bone lytic diseases such as osteoporosis.

The effect of aqueous and alcoholic extract of roots of Berberis aristata was studied on the spontaneous movements of the whole worm (w.w) preparation and nerve muscle (n.m) complex of cattle filarial parasite Setaria cervi and on the survival of microfilariae. Only aqueous extract could inhibit the spontaneous movements of S. cervi, characterized by initial stimulation followed by reversible paralysis. The concentration required to produce similar effect on n.m complex was less as compared to the w.w. The lethal concentration 50 and lethal concentration 90 for aqueous extract were 48 ng/ml and 65 ng/ml.

We examined the wound healing effect and toxicity of Forsythia suspensa extract to verify the therapeutic usefulness on wound treatment. Additionally, we examined its antibacterial effect. The wound healing effect of Forsythia suspensa extract was compared with the tetrachlorodecaoxygen anion complex (TCDO), protein free haemodialysate (Haemyl), and physiological saline. The wound areas on the 4th, 11th, 14th day of treatment with Forsythia suspensa extract, TCDO, and Haemyl were significantly smaller than with the saline treatment. The wounds on the 8th day of treatment with Forsythia suspensa extract were only siginificantly smaller than the saline treatment. On the 8th day of treatment with Forsythia suspensa extract, TCDO, and Haemyl accerlerlated the wound epithelization more than saline treatment. There was not a significant difference in liver enzyme activity (GOT, GPT) and blood cell count between the Fosythia suspensa extract and the saline treatment. In addition, the Forsythia suspensa extract did not inhibit bacterial proliferation. These results suggest that Forsythia suspensa extract has great possibility of being developed into new wound healing drugs. Its pharmacological effects seem to have no relation with antibacterial effect.

Operational modal analysis is being widely used in aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering. Common research fields include optimal design and rehabilitation under dynamic loads, structural health monitoring, modification and control of dynamic response and analytical model updating. In many practical cases, influence of noise contamination in the recorded data makes it difficult to identify the modal parameters accurately. In this paper, an improved frequency domain method called Enhanced Least Square Complex Frequency (eLSCF) is developed to extract modal parameters from noisy recorded data. The proposed method makes the use of pre-defined approximate mode shape vectors to refine the cross-power spectral density matrix and extract fundamental frequency for the mode of interest. The efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated using an example five story shear frame loaded by random excitation and different noise signals.

In Oriental medicine, the prescriptions composed of several herb medicines have been used. It is still unclear how the sum of several extracts of anti-thirst drugs represents the anti-lipid peroxidative action. Three anti-thirst herb medicines, Kalopanax pictus (K), Pueraria thunbergiana (P) and Rhus verniciflua (R), were extracted with MeOH and $H_2O$, respectively, and the former one was fractionated into the resultant EtOAc extract. Each extract was reconstituted to give KPR311, KPR131 and KPR113 where, for example, KPR311 represents the complex of K-P-R {3:1:1 (w/w/w)} of the three extracts. The order of the inhibitory effect in bromobenzene-induced lipid peroxidation in rats was as follows: EtOAc extract＞$H_2O$ extract＞MeOH extract. Extract complexes were found to be more potent than the extracts of individual crude drugs. The KPR131 of EtOAc extract was found to be the most potent among the tested samples. These anti-lipid peroxidative effects were also supported by the decrease of aniline hydroxylase activity and aminopyrine N-demethylase activity, on the other hand by the increase of epoxide hydrolase activity. All the tested samples were assayed in vitro antioxidative effects such as DPPH assay, ADP/NADPH/Fe$^{3+}$ assay and ascorbic acid/Fe$^{2+}$ assay. The EtOAc extracts also showed the most significant antioxidative effects. These results suggest that the sum of anti-thirst drugs could reflect the effects of respective crude drugs.s.s.

In this study, NF Complex of 0%, 0.5%, 2.5%, 12.5%, and 100% was prepared by complexing and extracting Indian gooseberry, Rosa multiflora Thunberg roots, and saw palmetto fruit in a ratio of 5:1:1. The manufactured NF Complex was applied to bleached sample hair and then compared and analyzed with damaged hair. To confirm the improvement effect, tensile strength, gloss, absorbance, and brightness were measured. As a result of the measurement, the tensile strength increased. The gloss content decreased by 100%, but the remaining content increased. The change in absorbance was minimal. There was also a change in brightness, but it was minimal. It was confirmed that there is a significant difference in the average value of NF Complex, and it is judged necessary to study various ratios in the future.

Reactive oxygen scavenging activity and immune stimulatory activity of lactobacilli were investigated by different free radical scavenging assays and Ig G assay. Lactobacilli culture (S/N) and its complex with $Mn^{2+}$ have significant effects in XOD assay and response to paraquat. Cell free extract significantly prevented the photohemolysis. Thus, it seems that each sample from lactobacilli has a different free radical scavening mechanism. Furthermore, it is assumed that cell free extract from lactobacilli activates antibody stimulation of B cell through a stimulation of T cell.
