Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica var saboten Makino) is a tropical or subtropical plant, which is widely used as folk medicine for burned wound, edema and indigestion. We previously found that the ethanol extract of cactus stem showed anti-inflanunatory action. This investigation was designed to isolate the active fraction of anti-inflanimatory action from cactus stem by solvent extraction and colunm chromatography. Carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats and acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice were used as animal models to search anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. respectively. The ethanol extract of cactus stem was consecutively extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. The hexane fraction was the most effective in carrageenan-induced paw edema, and then was separated in colunm chromatography of silica gel by the elution with hexane/ethyl acetate mixture. The most effective fraction 1 was separated in a second colunm chromatography by eluting with hexane/diethyl ether mixture. The most effective fraction 1-5 was obtained, and separated in a third column chromatography by eluting with hexane/chloroform mixture. It produced the most effective fraction 1-5-1. Moreover, fraction 1-5-1 showed an inhibitory effect on acetic acid-induced writhing in the doses of 30mg/kg and 60mg/kg,p.o.,indicating that it also contained analgesic activity.

The rhizoma of Zingiber officinale has been used as antiemetic, expectorants, stomachache relieving drugs and digestive accelerators. From the observation of antigastritic action of the methanol extract of the rhizoma, it was fractionated with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and butanol, followed by bioassay on antigastritic and antiulcerative activity. The hexane and the chloroform fraction reduced significantly HCl ethanol induced gastric lesion at the dose of 370 and 210 mg/kg, p.o., respectively. On the gastric ulceration and gastric secretion in pylorus-ligated rats, the hexane fraction decreased the volume of gastric secretion and acid output, and also increased pH at the dose of 370 mg/kg, i.d.. It showed considerable curative ratio of acetic acid induced ulcer without inhibition of indomethacin induced gastric lesion. The methanol extract showed low acute toxicity with minimum lethal dose of more than 3000 mg/kg, p.o. in mice. In conclusion, Zingiberis rhizoma exhibited antigastric and antiulcerative activity which might be attributable to inhibition of gastric secretion. It is revealed that the active component may be present in the hexane fraction.

A methanol extract of the roots of bupleurum longiradiatum (Umbelliferar) showed antiinflammatory activity in rats. Hexane, chloroform, butanol, and aqueous fractions from the methanol extract were tested with the result that only the hexane fraction exhibited positive activity. Fractionation of the hexane extract resulted in isolation of arborinone as an active principle.

Water extract, and methanol extract, its chloroform and hexane fractions, and estragole from Agastache rugosa O. Kuntze were tested to find the inhibition effect on the growth of several microorganisms. The organisms used were Escherichia coli ATCC 1129, Staphylococcus aureus IAM 1011, Vibrio parahaemolyticus WP, Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633, Aspergillus oryzae KFCC 890, Aspergillus niger KCCM 11240. Water and methanol extracts at the concentration of 0.5%, and chloroform and hexane fraction at the concentration of 0.05% inhibited the growth of microorganisms from 1/5 to 2/3 of the control group. Estragole identified from the hexane faction as a major component, its authentic compound completely inhibited the growth of Vibrio parahaemolyticus completely at the concentration of 0.03%, and the other bacteria were at 0.05%.

The Korean-made passive samplers were evaluated at the working environment for field testing. Tested materials were n-hexane, toluene and trichloroethylene. The performance of passive samplers depended on types and concentrations of organic vapors. Sampling rates were not steady until certain concentrations. The optimum concentration for determination of airborne toluene by passive samplers was equal to or over 10 ppm which is 1/10 of the Korean occupational exposure limit. Optimum concentration of n-hexane was equal to and over 1 ppm which is 1/50 of Korean occupational exposure limit. But for trichloroehtylene, coefficient of variation was 53.5 %. Passive samplers may be used for determination of n-hexane. For other materials, further study on the performance of Korean-made passive samplers is required.

적외선 흡수법을 사용하여 액체 헵탄 수직분사제트의 증기농도를 정성적으로 측정하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 모형 램젯 연소기에서 레이저를 이용한 적외선 흡수법으로 액체연료의 분열부터 기화까지의 과정을 이해하는 것이다. 실험결과로부터 헥산 증기 몰분율은 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나 연료공기 운동량비 변화에 대해서는 큰 차이가 나지 않았다.

Present study evaluated the low-temperature destruction of n-hexane and benzene using mesh-type transition-metal platinum(Pt)/stainless steel(SS) catalyst. The parameters tested for the evaluation of catalytic destruction efficiencies of the two volatile organic compounds(VOC) included input concentration, reaction time, reaction temperature, and surface area of catalyst. It was found that the input concentration affected the destruction efficiencies of n-hexane and benzene, but that this input-concentration effect depended upon VOC type. The destruction efficiencies increased as the reaction time increased, but they were similar between two reaction times for benzene(50 and 60 sec), thereby suggesting that high temperatures are not always proper for thermal destruction of VOCs, when considering the destruction efficiency and operation costs of thermal catalytic system together. Similar to the effects of the input concentration on destruction efficiency of VOCs, the reaction temperature influenced the destruction efficiencies of n-hexane and benzene, but this temperature effect depended upon VOC type. As expected, the destruction efficiencies of n-hexane increased as the surface area of catalyst, but for benzene, the increase rate was not significant, thereby suggesting that similar to the effects of the re- action temperature on destruction efficiency of VOCs, high catalyst surface areas are not always proper for economical thermal destruction of VOCs. Depending upon the inlet concentrations and reaction temperatures, almost 100% of both n-hexane and benzene could be destructed, The current results also suggested that when applying the mesh type transition Metal Pt/SS catalyst for the better catalytic pyrolysis of VOC, VOC type should be considered, along with reaction temperature, surface area of catalyst, reaction time and input concentration.

본 연구는 와송에 유기용매를 활용하여 순차적으로 추출하여 항염증 활성에 대한 가능성을 평가하기 하기 위해 수행되었다. 대식세포에 와송 hexane 추출물을 전처리하고 LPS로 염증을 자극하여 염증과 관련한 세포내 신호전달 경로에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 대식세포에 와송 hexane 추출물은 LPS 자극에 의해 세포 독성이 나타나지 않았고, ROS의 생성을 억제하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IP-10과 같은 전염증성 사이토카인의 분비를 mRNA 수준에서 확인한 결과 탁월하게 억제하였다. 이러한 전염증성 사이토카인의 생성 억제는 상위 전사인자인 AP-1과 IRF3의 조절을 통해 이루어지므로 이들을 단백질 수준에서 발현량을 확인하였다. 그 결과 c-Jun, c-Fos, IRF-3의 인산화 억제로 핵 내 전사활성이 제한되었을 것으로 생각된다. 이들 결과를 종합해볼 때, 와송 hexane 추출물은 염증 반응을 저해하는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타나 다양한 염증성 질환의 예방 및 개선에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
