The reason that aromatherapy began to draw attention again as the alternative therapy is because the essential oils that are used for aromatherapy not only allow the human body to maintain homeostasis but also have an effect on curing a mental feeling of fatigue and because these efficacies and effects are proceeding with being proved scientifically. Also, with coming to be high in a voice of concern about severally side effects that the modern medicine and the synthetic chemistry have, the aromatherapy came to be paid attention as the replacement therapy that can substitute for and supplement this. In particular, at the time of requiring a study on a substance to substitute for this after having been announced in Japan for 1998 a risk of Zincpyrithione that is being used as a component of dandruff treatment, it is thought that the aroma oil that was known for having an anti-dandruff effect has a merit of being easy in a user's access, thus it will be effective in curing the symptom of dandruff. Accordingly, this study conducted the following experiment in a bid to examine whether the aroma oil has the anti-microbial effect on the actual malassezia. First of all, it measured the minimum concentration of aroma oil in which the growth of malassezia is inhibited, by carrying out MIC(Minimum Inhibition Concentration) test in terms of anti-microbial activity against Malassezia furfur KCTC 7744 while using oils of Patchouli, Rosemary, Lavender, and Tea tree among aroma oils that are being used for dandruff treatment. As a result of that, Tea tree oil has the most excellent anti-microbial activity, and the measurement result of anti-microbial activity was shown in order of Lavender oil>Rosemary oil>Patchouli oil. Next, it carried out the is actually eased by applying Tea tree oil directly to the scalp of dandruff. In consequence of the experiment, the massage of Tea tree oil indicated the result of relieving the symptoms of dandruff such as scale, itch, pain, inflammation, and sebum, and among these symptoms of dandruff, it was shown to be most effective in easing itch. Especially, this clinical experiment was indicated that the massage of Tea tree oil has the most effect on relieving itch of targets with a dry-skin type who had no experience of dandruff treatment.

Cocoon production, which is a representative of traditional sericulture shifted into silkworm powder production in the spring of 1995. This, infect, signifies the change from the dress-centered textile business to the bio-industry and the functional resource industry. One of the most outstanding shifting is utilization of silkworm larvae for anti-diabetic agent. In Asian countries including Korea, silkworm powder derived from the domestic silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) has long been favored for anti-diabetic agent, but its efficacy was not tested until last decade by modern scientific methods. In this article, we reviewed the major researches on the silkworm powder as a blood glucose-lowering substance. After the beginning test of the efficacy of silkworm powder by a cooperative research between Department of Sericulture and Entomlogy, NIAST, RDA and Kyung Hee University, substantial data have been accumulated so far, In a serial experiment to select best condition, the fifth instar larvae prepared by freeze dry method turned out to have the best blood glucose-lowering effect. In the pharmacological experiment to understand the mechanism of silkworm powder in small intestine, the silkworm powder turned out to inhibit the activity of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, by competitively binding to $\alpha$-type disaccharides. The animal experiment showed that the extract of silkworm powder prevents a rapid increase of blood glucose level after meal and prevents hunger and law blood glucose level during empty stomach. In the experiment to isolate the major component of silkworm powder, which exerts blood glucose-lowering effect, 1-deoxynojirimy-cin (DNJ) was eventually mass-purified, and it turned out that DNJ isolated from silkworm powder was excellent in its blood glucose-lowering effect. In the experiment to understand the personal difference of the efficacy of the silkworm powder, clinical candidates were divided on the basis of the criterion of traditional Chinese medicine: Tae-Yang, Tae-Um, So-yang, and So-Um. The result showed that silkworm powder has a tendency to reduce blood glucose level at fasting and at 2 hours after meal, and this trend was somewhat obvious in the Tae-Um body type. In summary, we reviewed scientific papers on the efficacy of silkworm powder and its purified DNJ as a blood glucose-lowering agent. These suggest that silkworm powder truly possesses blood glucose-lowering effect as documented in the traditional Chinese medicine, although further researches will be required to develop them as "medical" resource instead of functional food.

추출조건에 따른 생리활성 영향을 검토하기 위하여 차가버섯(Inonotus obliquus)을 물($50^{\circ}C$ reflux, $90^{\circ}C$ 이상 decoction, $12^{\circ}C$ 가압추출)과 에탄올(50, 70과 $90^{\circ}C$ reflux)로 추출한 후 물 추출물을 조다당획분(IO-CP)으로 분획하였을 때 IO-CP(4.8~16.8%)의 수율은 에탄올추출물(IO-E, 1.9~2.7%)보다 높았으며 추출온도 증가에 따라 그 차이는 더 컸다. 가압추출로 조제된 조다당획분(IO-CP-121)은 가장 높은 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량(35.10 mg TAE/g와 18.48 mg QE/g)과 DPPH와 ABTS를 이용한 자유 라디칼소거능(26.08과 27.99 mg AEAC/100 mg)을 나타내었다. IO-CP-D(decoction)와 IO-CP-50(reflux)은 IO-CP-121보다 유의적으로 높은 마이토젠(saline 대조군의 2.10과 1.95배, 100 ${\mu}g/mL$)과 장관면역 활성(6.30과 5.74배)을 보였으나 에탄올추출물 활성은 확인되지 않았다. 또한, 모든 IO-CP는 0.1 mg/mL 농도에서 RAW 264.7 세포주에 대하여 독성을 나타내지 않았으나, IO-CP-121이 LPS-자극 RAW 264.7 세포주에 대하여 가장 유의적으로 염증성 인자인 TNF-${\alpha}$와 nitric oxide(NO) 생성을 억제하였다(29.2와 63.5%). 에탄올추출물도 0.1 mg/mL 농도에서 독성을 보이지 않았으나 TNF-${\alpha}$와 NO의 생성 억제능은 IO-CP-121보다 현저히 낮음을 알수 있었다. 한편, 활성 다당획분을 분리하기 위하여 면역활성 획분인 IO-CP-D를 DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B column에서 비흡착 획분(IO-CP-I)과 7개의 흡착 획분(IO-CP-II~VIII)으로 분획한 결과, IO-CP-II가 가장 우수한 마이토젠과 마크로파지 활성(4.51과 1.64배)을 나타내었다. 이와 같이 분리된 면역활성 획분인 IO-CP-II는 주로 중성당(61.86%)과 함께 소량의 산성당(2.96%)을 포함하고 있는 다당류임이 밝혀졌으며, 주요 구성당으로서 Glc, Gal와 Man(molar ratio of 1.00:0.55:0.31)를 포함하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로부터 추출조건은 차가버섯 생리활성에 중요하게 작용하고 있으며, decoction 추출방법으로 제조하여 분획한 면역활성 획분으로부터 차가버섯 면역활성은 적어도 중성 다당류가 관여하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In the present study, we has been isolated the anti-cariogenic component, stigmasterol, from Aralia continentalis (A. continentalis) and identified by MS, $^1$H-NMR and $^{13}$C-NMR and also investigated the anti-cariogenic properties of stigmasterol. The methanol extract of ,A. continentalis showed concentration-dependent inhibitory activity against the growth and acid production of S. mutans. The MeOH extract was suspended in H$_2$O and sequentially partitioned with n-hexane, CHCl$_3$, EtOAc, and n-BuOH. The CHCl$_3$ fraction showed remarkable antibacterial activity against S. mutans. The anti-cariogenic compound, stigmasterol, has been isolated successively through the screening system and various chromatography methods. Anti-cariogenic properties of stigmasterol were also investigated. From this active chloroform subfraction, isolation and identification finally gave (24E)-stigmasta-5,22-dien-3${\beta}$-ol (stigmasterol) {[a]$_D\;^{25}$ -48.33$^{\circ}C$(C 0.28, CHCl$_3$)} by spectroscopic methods (MS, $^1$H-NMR and $^{13}$C-NMR) as an active principle. The compound, stigmasterol, showed significant growth, acid production, adhesion and water-insoluble glucan synthesis inhibitory effect against S. mutans. These results suggest that stigmasterol from ,A. continentalis may inhibit cariogenic properties of S. mutans and these properties may provide some scientific rationales that the local inhabitants used the extracts for treatment of dental diseases.

Humans use insects as food and traditional medicine for many years. Hemolymph is the circulating fluid of insects and is a key component of their immune system. However, limited information is available regarding hemolymph identification, development, and differentiation, as well as the related cellular immune responses. In a previous study, hemolymph extracts prepared from Bombyx mori larvae were found to exert anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we aimed to identify and compare the antioxidant activity of immune-challenged and unchallenged B. mori hemolymph extracts in vitro. For this purpose, human epithelial Caco-2 cells were first exposed to oxidative stress and then treated with various concentrations and incubation times of either immune-challenged or unchallenged B. mori hemolymph extracts. Next, we determined the effect of treatment on the relative expression of GPX-1, SOD-1, and SOD-2 antioxidant marker genes. We found that the expression rates of the three marker genes were markedly higher at a immune-challenged hemolymph extract concentration of 80 ppm compared to those at other concentrations, and the antioxidant effects were enhanced after treatment for 48 hr. Thus, B. mori hemolymph extracts showed antioxidant activity within the limited time and dose. Especially, the immune-challenged B. mori hemolymph extracts showed higher the antioxidant activities than unchallenged one. The activity of silkworm hemolymph extracts could facilitate the development of new types of functional foods, feed additives, and biomaterials with antioxidant properties.

The current review seeks to highlight the concerns that have been raised on pre-slaughter stress, contributing factors and its consequent effects on cattle behavioural responses and the quality of beef; inter-linking the activities involved from birth to slaughter. Such information is crucial in light of the consumer concerns on overall animal welfare, quality of meat and food security. Slaughter animals are exposed to different conditions during production and transportation to abattoirs on a daily basis. However; the majority of studies that have been done previously singled out different environments in the meat production chain, while conclusions have been made that the welfare of slaughter animals and the quality of meat harvested from them is dependent on the whole chain. Behaviour is a critical component used to evaluate the animals' wellbeing and it has been reported to have an effect on product quality. Apart from the influence of on-farm, transportation and abattoir conditions, the genetic background of the animal also affects how it perceives and responds to certain encounters. Stress activates the animals' hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal activity, triggering release of various stress hormones such as catecholamines and cortisol, thus glycogen depletion prior slaughter, elevated ultimate pH and poor muscle-meat conversion. Pre-slaughter stress sometimes results to cattle attaining bruises, resulting to the affected parts of the carcass being trimmed and condemned for human consumption, downgrading of the carcass and thus profit losses.

Very little research has been carried out on safflower seed for the prevention and treatment of the bone deficiency diseases, including osteoporosis, which are supported by scientific evidences. In the present study, $3{\mu}l$ of 0.1% dried crude extract or $2{\mu}l$ of 0.1% dried aqueous fraction were shown to significantly accelerate the rate of differentiation of osteoblast. Also, the crude extract and aqueous fraction increased the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ of the cultured osteoblast cells: $3{\mu}l$ of 0.1% dried crude extract and $2{\mu}l$ of 0.1% dried aqueous fraction significantly increased the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ of the cultured osteoblast cells ($8{\times}10^{-4}$) to the extent that it deserves a considerable attention. Furthermore, the crude extract and aqueous fraction increased the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ of the cultured osteoblast cells, and $300{\mu}M$ $Cd^{2+}$, specific calcium channel blocker, completely blocked the increase. Therefore, the increased $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ of the cultured osteoblast cells by safflower seed component continued to activate calcium channel.
