  • The oriental medicine Jangwonhwan, which is a boiled extract of 12 medicinal herbs/mushroom, has been prescribed for patients with cognitive dysfunction and it is originally from the Korean medical text, DonguiBogam(amnesia chapter). Recently, a modified recipe of Jangwonhwan (LMK02-Jangwonhwan) consisting of seven medicinal plants/mushroom, was shown to reduce ${\beta}$-amyloid deposition in the brain of Tg-APPswe/PS1dE9 mouse model of Alzheimer disease. The toxicity of LMK02 was investigated in SD rats by oral repeated adminstration for 4 weeks and we tried to determine test does for 13 weeks repeated study. Quality control of tablet form of LMK02 was established by estimating indicative components, Ginsenoside Rg3 of Red Ginseng and Decursin of Angelicagigas Nakai. The toxicity of LMK02 was investigated in 6 weeks old specific pathogen free (SPF) Sprageu-Dawley rats by oral administration. Each test group were consist of 5 male and 5 female and they received doses of 500, 1,000 and 2,000 mg/kg/day of test substance for 4 weeks. The clinical signs, death rate, body weight, food consumption, ophthalmic examination, urinalysis, hematological and serum biochemistry, organ weight and pathological changes were examined and compared with those of control group. Urinalysis : We observed increase of PRO(p<0.01), SG(p<0.01) in female rats of 1,000 mg/kg/day and 2,000 mg/kg/day(p<0.01). Also, we observed increase of pH and KET in female rats of 1,000 mg/kg/day(p<0.05) and of 2,000 mg/kg/day(p<0.01). WBC in female rats in 1,000 mg/kg/day and 2,000 mg/kg/day were on increase. Hematological test : We observed increase of MCV in male rats of 250 mg/kg/day. (p<0.05) Serum biochemistry test : We found increase of CHO in female rats of 2,000 mg/kg/day(p<0.05). During the experimental period, there were no animals dead or moribund. There were no treatment related changes of general symptom, food and water consumption, organ weight and autopsy According to the results of 4-week repeated dose range finding study, the highest dose was established as 1000 mg/kg for 13-week repeated dose toxicity study and we determined to put 2 more groups by common ratio two.

  • 생활 식습관의 변화와 비만은 성인성 대사질환 증가를 급속히 증가시켜왔고, 이에 따라 간내 지방축적으로 야기된 간염질환인 NAFLD의 유병률도 ~33%의 수준으로 높게 나타나고 있어 간경변증, 간세포암종을 포함한 간손상의 진행을 심각하게 고려해야 할 시점이다. 특히 알코올섭취와 관계없이 비만과 연계된 인슐린 저항성 간조직에서 지방간염과 간경화를 시작으로 간손상이 지속적으로 일어난다는 점에서 비교적 가벼운 간소견을 보이는 NAFLD라 할지라도 적극적인 치료의 대상으로 해야 한다. 본 연구에서 $\text\tiny{D}$-GalN/LPS로 유도된 급성간독성의 지표들(ALT, AST, ALP 및 LDH)이 SGBE 투여 시 유의한 수준으로 감소되어 효과적인 간 보호 효과가 입증되었으며 세포수준에서 NAFLD에서 높게 나타나는 염증성 사이토카인($TNF{\alpha}$, IL-6)의 발현이 현격히 억제되어 비만과 인슐린저항성으로 인한 간 내 지방의 침착으로 유발되는 NAFLD의 염증반응 조절이 예상된다. 특히 간 조직 H&E 염색 및 주요장기 비교분석에서 SGBE 투여 시 간 손상의 특징이 최소화 또는 정상소견을 나타냈을 뿐 아니라 주요장기(간, 비장, 신장 및 위)도 간 손상의 특징을 나타내지 않아 안전하게 사용할 수 있는 NAFLD 소재로 사용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다. 이와 같은 SGBE의 효능은 신호전달 단백질인 p38의 제어를 통해 NAFLD 유발 및 악화의 주된 cytokine인 $TNF{\alpha}$의 생성을 억제한 결과로 생각되며, 이는 SGBE에 포함된 linoleic acid 및 SGBE에 독특하게 높게 나타나는 ginsenoside Re 및 Rd가 주된 역할을 한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구결과는 SGBE가 효과적인 간 보호 효능을 가지며 특히 비만과 인슐린저항성 질환(2형 당뇨 등)과 상관관계가 깊은 NAFLD에 유용한 보조치료법이 가능함을 제시하고 있어 간기능개선 및 보호 소재로서 개발이 기대된다.

  • 인삼뿌리썩음병균, Cylindrocarpon destructans(Zins.) Scholten을 접종한 인삼절편으로 부터 얻은 섬유소분해효소 및 펙틴질분해광소의 역가는 그 농도, 시간에 비례하였다. Cellulase (Cx), endo-polygalacturonase(endo-PG), endo-poiymethylgalacturonase (endo-PMG), exo-polygalacturonase (exe-PG)와 exo-polymeth-ylgalacturonase(exo-PMG)의 역가는 접종후 4 일째 최대였으며 endo-PG와 endo-PMG는 1일 및 2일째는 전혀 검출되지 않았으나 exo-PG와 exo-PMG는 검출되었다. 접종후 6 일째에는 모든 펙틴질분해효소는 활성을 완전히 잃었으나 섬유소분해효소는 높은 역가을 유지하였다. Cx, endo-PG, endo-PMG, exo-PG 및 exo-PMG의 최적 pH는 각각 6.0, 5.5, 8.0, 7.0-7.5, 8.5이였다. Cx, endo-PG, endo-PMG, 및 exo-PG의 최적온도는 각각 exo-PMG $66^{\circ}C\;53^{\circ}C\;41^{\circ}C\;37^{\circ}C\;and\;40^{\circ}C$였다. 섬유소분해효소는 공시한 16개 이온중에서 0.05M $Hg^{++}$만이 억제하였다. 펙틴질분해효소는 이온에 따라 상이하였으나 $0.05M\; Fe^{+++}$$0.05M\;Al^{+++}$이 가장 현저히 억제하였다. 공시한 8개 농약중에서 어느 것도 $0.1\%$ 유효성분으로는 모든 효소작용을 억제하지 못했으며 exo-PG만은 모든 농약의 의하여 상당히 억제되었다. 그 중에서 Difolatan은 모든 펙틴질분해효소를 가장 잘 억제시켰다. $0.2M\;Ca^{++}$$0.02M\;Fe^{+++}$은 펙틴질분해효소를 거의 억제시켰으나 섬유소분해효소는 같은 농도에서 각각 $30\%,\;70\%$에 이르렀다. Formalin은 exo-PG와 endo-PMG를 완전 억제시켰으나 다른 효소 특히 Cx는 그렇지 못했다. $0.8\%$ Difolatan은 모든 효소를 $0.8\%$이상 억제하였으나 Cx는 그 이하였다. C. destructans가 분필하는 섬유소분해효소 및 펙틴질분해효소는 인삼뿌리썩음병과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있으며 이 병을 효과적으로 방제하기 위하여 억제되어야 하겠다.

  • 부자(附子)는 흔히 한증(寒證)이나 음증(陰證)을 치료하는 약물로서 화열증(火熱證)을 치료하는 경우는 흔하지 않다. 경악(景岳)은 부자(附子)가 능인화귀원(能引火歸源)하여 제복허열(制伏虛熱)하는 효능이 있다고 하였다. 심계(心系)영역 질환의 치료에 있어서 부대(附子)가 한증(寒證)이나 음증(陰證)의 경우외에 부자(附子)가 화열증(火熱證)을 치료하는데 이용된 예(例)가 있는지 역대(歷代)의 문헌에서 찾아보고 그 처방(處方)에서 부자(附子)의 역할과 그에 따라 배합(配合)되는 약물 및 활용특징을 살펴보는 것은 부자(附子)를 이용한 심계(心系)영역 질환의 치료범위와 이해를 넓히는데 도움이 될 것이다. 심계(心系)영역질환 화열증(火熱證)의 치료에 사용된 부자(附子)의 역할을 살펴보면 크게 네 부류로 나눌 수가 있으며 이들 유형에 따라 배합되는 약물의 종류도 다르다. 특히 많은 경우에서 자음약(滋陰藥)과 배합되므로 이체하지 않도록 하는 약물(藥物)의 배합(配合)에 대하여 많은 임상적 연구가 있어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Pattern identify and classify selected case records and again classified with deficiency syndrome and excess syndrome. Also analyzed prescriptions and herbs used in the case records. Nature of herbs and properties and flavors that were used in the case records were classified and frequency of each nature of herbs were analyzed. Applicable case records were interpreted and suggested prescriptions, pulse feelings, pattern classification were analyzed and described. Results : Among the 5254 case records stated on the complete collection, it is researched that there are 63 case records for the symptom complex of dyspnea as 1.2% of the whole case records, and the case records on the symptom complex of wheezing asthma are 14 as the 0.27% of the total examples. 63 case record examples related with symptom complex of dyspnea were pattern identified and classified. As a result, deficiency syndrome of the Kidney(33 %), deficiency syndrome of the Spleen(26.0%), Wind-Cold(12.3%), phlegm turbidity(12.3%), Heat in the Lung(8.2%), asthenia of the Lung(8.2%) were investigated as above order. 14 case record examples related with wheezing asthma were pattern identified and classified. As a result, phlegm-Heat(26.3%), upper excess and lower deficiency(26.3%), external affections Wind-Cold(15.8%), Dampness-phlegm(10.5%), Lung asthenia(10.5%), Cold phlegm(5.3%), mutual deficiency and detriment of Heart and Kidneys(5.3%) were investigated as above order. Symptom complex of dyspnea has 67.1% of deficiency syndrome, 32.9% of excess syndrome resulting more deficiency syndrome than excess syndrome. Symptom complex of wheezing asthma has 42.1 % of deficiency syndrome and 57.9% of excess syndrome resulting more excess syndrome than deficiency syndrome. In case of symptom complex of dyspnea prescription used in the case record, the order of frequency is as following. Palmijihwang-tang, Bojung-ikgitang, Yungmijihwang-tang, Ijintang, Sojaganggitang, Igongsan. In case of symptom complex of wheezing asthma prescription in the case record, Yungmijihwang-tang, Ohotang, Dodamtang were mostly used. Herbs used in case records of symptom complex of dyspnea are Ginseng Radix, Poria, Glycyrrhizae Radix, Aconiti Iateralis Preparata Radix, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Rehmanniae Radix Preparat, Pinelliae Rhizoma, Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens are mostly used. Nature of herb properties used for symptom complex of dyspnea and symptom complex of wheezing asthma are herbs that are warm properties. When the symptom complex of dyspnea and the symptom complex of wheezing asthma were treated. if the patient felt tenderness at Pyesu, doctors conducted pricking blood around the opposite Pyesu or Sipseon acupoint. when the patient didn't have tenderness at Pyesu by soft press, pricking blood was performed both sidees, right and left Pyesu. In case of the treatment of symptom complex of dyspnea and symptom complex of wheezing asthma, when they got treatment, when the symptom complex of disease is severe, a doctor cauterized the opposite Pyesu while the other Pyesu felt tenderness, and decided how the above treatment is performed whether the degree of the symptom compolex of disease is severe or not. In case of the treatment of symptom complex of dyspnea and symptom complex of wheezing asthma, if the person felt tenderness at Pyesu and is caught by the Wind-Cold pathogen, slight acupuncture is treated at relevant Pyesu with Fire needling.

  • This study looks at the various alternative therapy methods used in day to day life by elderly, over 60 years of age. The elderly have come to know and practice these methods for the following reasons it is good for the health ; it is the method used in the of fen days when there wesn't modern medicine ; it has been passed down from generations ; it can be done at home without having the need to go to the hospital ; acupuncture or poulticing can be used ; it can be done at home, which was an important factor in rural areas where hospitals are few and far between ; and 〔herbal〕 medicine could be prepared at home at no cost ; it derives from experience ; it is impossible to ignore tradition passed down through the generations. Diet control and plants (herbs) are methods most often used. as they are easy to find and can be readily used in critical situations. Other methods include oriental medicine practices of moxibustion with moxa cone, negative therapy, hand and finger acupunture, finger press method. ordinary acupunture, manual healing methods of massage. diaphoretic therapy and meditation to reach a state of calm, and qigong dirigation. The reasons for its use are as follows ; it has been used before ; it is effective ; there is some improvement after the treatment ; it is not harmful to the body ; medicine cannot be obtained and it is the only thing available ; it is not good for an old person to go to the hospital everyday. the symptoms are not serious enough to go to a hospital : and acupuncture is for these things. The means that the elderly have come to practice these methods are : it has been used since the past ; it has been told by the elders ; they have been told by friends ; it was part of their knowledge ; and they have come to know by watching their mother. Further, to regain vitality lost through old age, the elderly have relied on hot soup. a hearty meal. brewed honey water, pumpkin, or ginseng. Humans, by instinct. would rub or massage the areas that caused pain. These actions, combined with a breathing technique have been recognized in Tong-Eui-Bo-Gam(the essential of eastern medicine), the complete work of early modern medicine, are a useful means to revive chi(기). This knowledge is thought to have greatly affected our heathy lifestyle. Furthermore, though the demand for medical services would increase with age, the elderly have not always been able to tend to their needs at the hospital for reasons economic or other. Hence, these alternative therapy methods seem to have been practiced as a temporary means of relief. The excellence of our traditional therapeutic custom has not received full recognition due to the argument relating to its scientific merits. As a result, it has become vital to prove their effectiveness through scientific and other experimental means. The potency of moxibustion with moxa cone and hand and finger acupunture have been proven scientifically. but diet and herbal methods appear to be practiced as a result of customs passed down from generations. In addition, it is submitted that the effectiveness of the traditional methods of disease control and our heathy lifestyle that are easily found in the nursing field must be verified.

  • 지질은 인간내에서 에너지원으로 또 여러 가지 필수 영양소의 원천으로 가장 중요한 영양소 중의 하나이며, 특히 식품에 특유한 풍미를 부여 할 뿐만 아니라, 저장 중에도 중요한 영향을 미치는 영양소이다$^{19}$ ). 그러나 현재 동맥경화나 고혈압 등의 원인으로 지질의 질이 상당히 문제가 되고 있는데 이러한 지질의 물리적, 화학적 성질을 결정지어 주는 중요한 성분은 지방산이다$^{20}$ ). 본 연구는 양질의 사료와 미생물 생균제(INPEX), 액젓을 추출하고 남은 부산물을 먹인 청정닭고기와 국내에서 현재 유통되고 있는 일반닭고기와 조단백질, 조지방, 칼슘 함량 및 지방산 조성을 분석하였다. 조단백질과 칼슘은 청정닭고기가 높았으며 조지방 함량은 일반 닭고기가 높았다. 그러나 지방산 조성에 청정닭고기는 불포화지방산의 비율이 높았으며 이 중에서도 n-3계열 지방산의 함량이 높았고 특히 뇌발달에 필수적인 영양소인 고도불포화지방산인 DHA의 함량이 월등히 높았다. 또한 간접적으로는 단위동물들의 대사적 이향율 즉, 양질의 사료와 미생물 생균제(INPEX), 액젓을 추출하고 남은 부산물중에 함유된 linolenic acid를 ecosapentaenoic acid(EPA)와 decosahexanoic acid(DHA)등의 성분을 청정닭이 보유하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 자료에는 없지만 이러한 청정닭고기는 육질이 부드럽고 맛있으며 고기가 쪽득거리고 씹는 맛(조직감)이 뛰어날 뿐만 아니라 특히 일반닭고기 특유의 비린내가 없고, 지방이 적어 국물이 담백한 관능 결과도 나타내었다.

  • 1. All the male students and female students who had taken these herb medicines showed a strong increase in immunity (P<0.01) and they were more effective to the male students (P<0.01) rather than the female students (P<0.05) (figure 1). Generally, immunity may be reduced at the time of fatigue and overwork but as these herb medicines have the effect of increasing immunity. Therefore, it is considered that they not only reduce the fatigue of human body but also heighten immunity against disease. 2. The students who had taken these herb medicines showed some reduction in Cortisol concentration in blood, which didn't show the difference of concentration up to statistical meaning compared to before taking the medicines (figure 2). Accordingly, it is regarded that these herb medicine drink restrained stress slightly. 3. The students who had taken these herb medicines showed some reduction in BUN concentration in blood, which didn't show the difference of concentration up to statistical meaning compared to before taking the medicines (figure 3). For the women, they restrained the toxicity of the kidneys just a little. Accordingly, it shows that these medicines are safe herb medicines without the toxicity of the kidneys. 4. The students who had taken these herb medicines didn't show the difference of concentration up to statistical meaning in sFOT and sGPT concentration in blood compared to taking them (figure $4{\sim}5$). Accordingly, it is suggested that these medicines are safe stuffs without the toxity of the liver. 5. Seven members of the university students answered to the questionaire that they were pleasant while taking the medicines and didn't feel fatigue. They answered very positively that they had better effects than before taking the medicines in many things (Refer to the Questionaire). However, one male student and two female students of them complained of temporary headache and indigestion for 2 days after taking these herb medicines but they said they had been taking cold medicines due to cold symptom before taking the medicines. Accordingly, it turns out that such temporary symptom is not irrelevant to these medicines. In conclusion, it is considered that these herb medicines have the effects of increasing immunity, restraining fatigue and stress through this clinical study carried out in simple way and that they are valuable as herb medicines without the toxity of the liver and kidneys.
