Objective : This study was performed to compare anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and anti-bacterial effects of Ligustici Rhizoma (LR) extracted with two kinds of solvents, ethanol and distilled water. Methods : It is prepared two kinds of LR extracts 20, 50, 100 ${\mu}l/mg$ by first. MTT assay way to measure cytotoxicity is formed in Raw 264.7 cell. The anti-inflammation effect is measured by ability to inhibit production of NO in Raw 264.7 cell. The anti-oxidation effect was measured by DPPH Radical scavenging ability in HaCaT cell. The anti-bacterial effect was measured by inhibition zone diameter on Propionibacterium acnes. Results : 1. LR (20 ${\mu}l/mg$) extracted with ethanol was showed 80% cytotoxicity, LR (50 ${\mu}l/mg$) extracted with ethanol and LR (20, 50 ${\mu}l/mg$) extracted with water were showed 70% cytotoxicity, LR (100 ${\mu}l/mg$) extracted with ethanol and LR (100 ${\mu}l/mg$) extracted with water were showed 60% cytotoxicity in Raw 264.7 cell. 2. LR (100 ${\mu}l/mg$) extracted with ethanol was showed more significantly inhibitory effect on NO production than the water extraction. 3. Two kinds of LR extraction groups did not show significantly scavenging effect of DPPH radicals. 4. Two kinds of LR extractions did not have a inhibitory effect on Propionibactrium acnes. Conclusion : Two kinds of LR extracts have not cytotoxicity, statistically significant ability to scavenge DPPH radicals and effect to inhibit Propionibactrium acnes. LR extracted with ethanol only have a little effect to inhibit NO production. This study proposes that LR extracted with ethanol is more effective in anti-inflammation.

Effect of single administration of Polygala tenuipolia was examined on short-term memory in step through test and the intensity of the immunoreactive c-Fos protein induced by oral administration of ethanol. The acquisition of memory was significantly reduced by ethanol, and ethanol amnesia was remarkably reversed following oral administration of Polygala tenuifolia. c-Fos protein in normal rat brain was highly expressed in order of thalamus, pariental cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, amygdaloid and cingulate cortex. The expression of Fos protein was remarkably suppressed by single administration of ethanol. The inhibitory effect of ethanol on expression of Fos protein was reversed by single administration of Polygara tenuipolia, especially tissues of limbic areas such as amygdala, parietal cortex and CA3 of hippocampus. These results suggested that the amelioration process of Polygala tenuipolia on ethanol amnesia seems to be involve the expression of c-Fos protein in partly.

The extracts fermented of rice germ are called GMT (Glumate) which is a main ingredient of Condition$^{\circledR}$. It has been reported that GMT reduced the blood concentrations of alcohol in heathy adults. The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of GMT on blood concentrations of ethanol and on heart rate increase induced by ethanol. GMT was administered orally to 15 healthy adults before (10 min) and after (1 h) ethanol ingestion. The oral administration of GMT before (10 min) and after (1 h) ethanol ingestion reduced the area under the blood concentration of ethanol-time curve (p<0.12) and tended to inhibit the ethanol-induced heart rate increase.

흰쥐에게 ethanol과 xylene을 투여시 간손상 정도를 알아보기 위해 정상적인 S-D계 수컷 흰쥐를 4군으로 나누어 실험을 수행하였다. 생화학적 검사 결과에서 혈청 AST, ALT, LDH활성은 대조군보다 ethanol 투여군, xylene투여군, ethanol+xylene투여군으로 갈수록 활성이 유의하게 증가되었으며, 그 증가율은 ethanol+xylene투여군에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 산화적 손상정도를 알아보기 위한 혈청 MDA함량은 대조군보다 ethanol투여군과 xylene투여군 그리고 ethanol+xylene투여군으로 갈수록 활성이 증가되었으며, 그 증가율은 ethanol+xylene투여군에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 그러나 혈청 ALP는 대조군에 비해 모두 감소하였다. Xylene의 투여시 최종대사산물인 요 중 m-methylhippuric acid는 대조군에 비해 xylene투여군과 ethanol+xylene투여군에서 증가되었으며, 그 증가율은 xylene투여군이 ethanol+xylene투여군보다 더 높게 나타났다. 간 조직검사에서는 xylene투여군은 지방변화를, ethanol+xylene 투여군은 경도~중등도의 괴사와 염증을 보였다. 이상의 혈청학적 검사와 조직학적 검사결과 xylene 단독 투여에 비하여 ethanol과 xylene을 병행 투여했을 때 간손상이 더 크게 초래된 것으로 나타났다.

갈화(Puerariae flos)추출물이 rat의 혈액, 뇌 및 간의 ethanol농도를 유의차있게 감소시켰다. 혈중 ethanol의 감소 효과는 ethanol을 투여한지 1시간 경과한 때에 대조군과 가장 많은 차이를 보였으며 열수 추출물이 80% ethanol 추출물보다 혈중 ethanol 농도를 더 크게 감소시킴이 관찰되었다. Ethanol 투여 10분 전에 갈화추출물 투여가 1시간 전 혹은 10분 후에 투여한 군에 비해서 ethanol 농도 저하에 더 효과적이었으며, 간과 뇌 조직에서도 ethanol의 농도가 저하되는 현상이 관찰되었다. 그러나 이 때 acetaldehyde는 검출되지 않았다. 혈중 ethanol 농도를 가장 효율적으로 감소시키는 갈화 추출물의 적정량은 55.7 mg/kg body weight이었다. 이번 실험을 위해 새로이 시도된 dichloromethane에 의한 시료 추출과 GC를 이용한 분석법은 간단, 신속 하면서도 좋은 분석결과를 보였다.

The effect of chemical additives, such as dimethyl ether(DME), ethanol, carbon disulfide on the soot formation were examined numerically. ill this study, the Frenklach soot mechanism was used as a base mechanism to predict the soot formation in the ethane flame. The combination of Westbrook's DME mechanism, Marinov's ethanol mechanism, and chemical kinetic mechanism for hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide flames was made with the base mechanism because the DME, ethanol, $CS_2$ additives are added into the ethane fuel. CHEMKIN code was used as a numerical analysis software to simulate the effect of chemical additives on reduction of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAH's) which are soot precursors. From the numerical results it is observed that addition of DME, ethanol and $CS_2$ into ethane fuel can reduce PAH species significantly. That means theses additives can reduce soot formation significantly. Results also strongly suggest suppression of soot formation by these additives to be mainly a chemical effect. Hand OH radicals may be the key species to the reduction of PAH species for additives.

Protective effect of DA-9601, an extract of Artemisia Herb, against ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury was evaluated in rats. In the prophylactic study, DA-9601 exhibited total protection (99.4%) against absolute ethanol-induced gastropathy, And the protective effect of DA-9601 lasted up to 2 hours, which was longer than those of other contemporary mucoprotectants. In the treatment study, DA-9601 significantly facilitated the healing of 70% ethanol-induced mucosal damage, which was superior to cetraxate, a commonly used anti-ulcer drug. The mechanisms of mucoprotection of DA-9601 were also assessed. DA-9601 increased the release of prostaglandin E$_2$ from murine neutrophils in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. The cytoprotective effect of DA-9601 against ethanol-induced mucosal damage was significantly diminished by the concommitant injection of N$\omega$-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 5 mg/kg, i.v.), a non-specific nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, while it was not affected by preinjection of indomethacin (5 mg/kg, s.c.), a prostaglandins-depletor. And it was found that DA-9601 significantly enhanced adaptive cytoprotective action of 10% ethanol against absolute ethanol (56.9$\pm$6.5 vs 23.0$\pm$3.3 mm$^2$, p<0.05, mean$\pm$SEM), though its exact underlying mechanism remains to be clarified. The present fin[lings demonstrate that DA-9601 exerts gastroprotecticv actions for the stomach against ethanol through several different underlying mechanisms, in which prostanglandins and NO are involved. In conclusion, the results obtained suggest that DA-9601 can be useful both in prevention and treatment of ethanol-induced gastric damage.
