In order to study the effects of bee venom herbal acupuncture on the neurotransmitters of the rat brain cortex, herbal acupuncture with the bee venom group and normal saline group was performed bilaterally on the point corresponding to LI 4 of the rat. The average optical density of the neurotransmitters from the cerebral cortex was analyzed 30 minutes after the herbal acupuncture with immunohistochemical methods. The results were as follows: 1. The density of NADPH-diaphorase in the bee venom group was increased significantly at the motor cortex, visual cortex, auditory cortex, cingulate cortex, retrosplenial cortex, and perirhinal cortex, compared to the normal saline group. 2. The average optical density of vasoactive intestinal peptide in the bee venom group had significant changes at the insular cortex, retrosplenial cortex, and perirhinal cortex, compared to the normal saline group. 3. The average optical density of neuropeptide-Y in the bee venom group increased significantly at the visual cortex and cingulate cortex, compared to the normal saline group.

Purpose: The ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) is responsible for regulation of consciousness. In this study, using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), we attempted to reconstruct the thalamocortical projections between the intralaminar thalamic nuclei and the frontoparietal cortex in normal subjects. Methods: DTI data were acquired in 24 healthy subjects and eight kinds of thalamocortical projections were reconstructed: the seed region of interest (ROI) - the intralaminar thalamic nuclei and the eight target ROIs - the medial prefrontal cortex, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, premotor cortex, primary motor cortex, primary somatosensory cortex, and posterior parietal cortex. Results: The eight thalamocortical projections were reconstructed in each hemisphere and the pathways were visualized: projections to the prefrontal cortex ascended through the anterior limb and genu of the internal capsule and anterior corona radiata. Projections to the premotor cortex passed through the genu and posterior limb of the internal capsule and middle corona radiata; in contrast, projections to the primary motor cortex, primary somatosensory cortex, and posterior parietal cortex ascended through the posterior limb of the internal capsule. No significant difference in fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity, and fiber volume of all reconstructed thalamocortical projections was observed between the right and left hemispheres (p>0.05). Conclusion: We reconstructed the thalamocortical projections between the intralaminar thalamic nuclei and the frontoparietal cortex in normal subjects. We believe that our findings would be useful to clinicians involved in the care of patients with impaired consciousness and for researchers in studies of the ARAS.

된장의 고유한 향미에는 영향을 미치지 않으면서 기능성이 향상된 유백피 된장 개발을 위해 유백피 된장의 물리화학적 분석을 통해 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 유백피 된장은 일반 된장에 비해 pH와 염도가 낮으며, 관능검사에서는 단맛이 강하고 짠맛은 약하나 구수한 맛을 나타냄으로써 일반 된장에 비해 전체적으로 높은 기호 도를 확인하였다. 항산화 작용의 지표인 DPPH 소거 활성측정 결과 $IC_{50}$값이 일반된장($155.67{\mu}g/mL$)에 비해 훨씬 높은 항산화 활성($29.16{\mu}g/mL$)을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구 결과 기능성과 기호도 고려할 때 유백피가 1% 첨가된 된장이 가장 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

Many studies on plant extracts have been reported for the treatment of candidiasis caused by Candida albicans, a representative fungal infection. This study demonstrates the synergistic antifungal activity of the combination of Phellodendri Cortex and Magnoliae Cortex, previously reported to have antifungal efficacy. Considering the antifungal efficacy and the separation of the active constituents, berberine and magnolol, hot water extraction and carbon dioxide supercritical extraction were selected for Phellodendri Cortex and Magnoliae Cortex, respectively. A combination of 0.55 g/L hot water extract of Phellodendri Cortex and 0.59 g/L carbon dioxide supercritical extract of Magnoliae Cortex showed synergistic antifungal activity. The synergistic antifungal activity of 160 μM berberine and 100 μM magnolol, which are representative antifungal compounds of Phellodendri Cortex and Magnoliae Cortex, respectively, contributes to the synergistic antifungal effect of their extracts. The additive decrease in cellular ergosterol level and the increased antifungal efficacy by extracellular ergosterol suggest that disruption of the biological function of ergosterol in the cell membrane is not responsible for the synergistic antifungal activity of berberine and magnolol. Synergistic cellular release of chromosomal DNA upon mixing berberine and magnolol indicates that disruption of the cellular structure is responsible for the synergistic antifungal effect of berberine and magnolol.

Objectives : This studies were carried out to evaluate the effects on anti-oxidation activities in different parts as trunk bark and root bark of Ulmus devidiana Planchon. var. japonica Nakai and Hemipteleae davidii (Hance) Planchon. Methods : For evaluation of antioxidative effects, scavenging activity on superoxide anion radical and DPPH radical were measured. Also, inhibitory activity on LDL oxidation and linoleic acid peroxidation were measured in each samples. In the in vivo test, inhibitory activity on TBARS production, GSH contents in rat liver were measured. SOD, Catalase, GSH-px and ALDH activity were analysed in ethanol extracts of Ulmi Radicis Cortex. Result : 1. Scavenging activity on superoxide anion radical was higher in water extract than in ethanol extract even in low concentration of 50ppm as over 90%. 2. There was no difference between water extract and ethanol extract in the scavenging activity on DPPH radical but, Ulmi Raclicis Cortex and Ulmi Trunci Cortex showed high effect even in low concentration of 10ppm. 3. GSH reduction was prevented and antioxidative activity such as Mn-SOD, GSH-px in the rat liver recovered in the treatment of ethanol extracts of Ulmi Radicis Cortex. Conclusion : Ulmi Radicis Cortex recorded as Ulmi Trunci Cortex in official regulation book. But, it was known that Ulmi Radicis Cortex was more effective than Ulmi Trunci Cortex in most physical activities.

As a result of comparing the phenolic components of cinnamon medicines, the total phenolic component content of Cinnamomi Cortex in China was about 2.65 times higher than that of Cinnamomi Cortex in Vietnam. In addition, the total phenolic component content of Vietnamese Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus was about 1.80 times higher than that of Chinese Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus. Meanwhile, Vietnamese Cinnamomi Ramulus showed a content about 3.29 times higher than that of Chinese Cinnamomi Ramulus. Cinnamaldehyde, the main component of cinnamon medicines, showed the same tendency as the total phenolic component content. In terms of the average content of the total phenolic components, Cinnamomi Cortex showed the highest content at 23964 ㎍/g, followed by Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus at 17489 ㎍/g and Cinnamomi Ramulus at 5435.8 ㎍/g. These results showed that Cinnamomi Cortex and Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus with stem bark as usage sites had about 3.22 to 4.41 times higher content of phenolic components than Cinnamomi Ramulus with young branches as usage sites.
