In this study, 49 Korean herbal medicines have been investigated with an in vitro evaluation system using glycation end products (AGEs) formation inhibitory activity. Of these, 18 herbal medicines ($IC_{50}$ < $50{\mu}g/ml$) were found to have significant AGEs formation inhibitory activity. Of these, five herbal medicines ($IC_{50}$ < $50{\mu}g/ml$) were found to have significant AGEs formation inhibitory activity. Particularly, Mallotus japonicus (twigs and leaves), Rhus javanica (twigs and leaves), Boehmeria nivea (whole plants), Quercus acuta (stems), and Eurya japonica (stems) showed more potent inhibitory activity (approximately 9-37 fold) than the positive control aminoguanidine ($IC_{50}=76.47{\mu}g/ml$).

Formaldehyde (FA) is a carcinogenic compound present in cigarette smoke. In this study, the amount of formaldehyde was analyzed in 5 kinds of cigarettes and the inhibitory effect of plant volatile extracts on the formation of FA was investigated. After extraction of the cigarette sample, FA was converted into its thiazolidine derivatives by reaction with cysteamine, and then measured using a gas chromatography-nitrogen phosphorus detector (GC-NPD). The concentrations of FA in cigarette smoke were found between 138.24 and $217.82{\mu}mol/g$ cigarette smoke. Extracts isolated from Welsh onion (Allium cepa L.), garlic (Allium sativum L.), crown daisy (Chrylsanthemum coronarium L.), green pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), and sesame dropwort (Oenanthe javanica DC) were used for analyzing their inhibitory effects on the formation of FA. The inhibitory effects of extracts of Welsh onion, garlic, crown daisy, green pepper, and sesame dropwort on the formation of FA were 64, 47, 38, 47, and 19%, respectively.

The phytosociological investigation was carried out at 32 sites of the riparian vegetation in Musim-Chon stream passed through Choengju-City, Chungcheongbuk-Province by Braun-Blanquet's method from August to October, 1997. The flora of vascular plants in this survey was 202 species. The riparian vegetation was classified into 25 communities as follows. The submerged hydrophytes are Potomogeton malaianus var. latifolius community, Potomogeton crispus community, Myriophyllum verticillatum community-Hydrilla verticillata community and Ceratophyllum demersum community. The floating-leaved hydrophyte is Trapa japonica community. The emerged hydrophytes are Phragmites communis community, Perzicaria thunbergii community, Phragmites japonica community, Oenanthe javanica community, Zizania latifolia community and Persicaria hydropiper community. The herbaceous vegetation of floodplain are Artemisia montana community, Humulus japonicus community, Miscanthus sacchariflorus community, Erigeron anmus community, Impatiens balsamina community, Bidens frondosa community, Setaria viridis community, Ambrosia artemisiifolia var. elatior community and Eragrostis ferruginea community. The woody vegetation of floodplain are Robinia pseudo-acacia community, Stephanandra incisa community and Clematis apiifolia community. The species diversity was low in the upper and down stream, while the diversity was high in the mid stream situated at the center of Choengju-City because of frequent disturbance by citizens. These results suggested that distribution of communities and species diversity was closely related to the disturbance.

The aim of this study was to develop higher-value added dyeing materials with the fermentation-dyeing -mordanting system using only the natural ingredients by integrating traditional fermentation techniques with traditional dyeing technique. Nuruk, which is used mainly to ferment traditional foods, was used as a fermenting agent to ferment 5 different types of materials. Acidic burnt alum and alkaline calcium hydroxide were used as natural mordants. The dyeability checked after fermentation showed that both cotton and silk mordanted with Gardenia jasminoides did not show notable changes, and 10 days of fermentation was found to be appropriate. Sophora japonica L. performed better on cotton materials mordanted with slaked lime, and alkaline mordants were found to be more effective than acidic ones. With Rheum coreanum, a fermentation period of more than 24 days ($5^{th}$ fermentation) worked best on cotton material, showing a 5 fold increase in the K/S value after the $5^{th}$ slaked lime fermentation than with no fermentation. Rhus javanica L. was found to increase the color fastness to gentle washing and the fastness to light was found to possess 4 means that natural dyed fabric have the highest level of durability, the grade 1 the lowest level of fastness.

Water extracts of six plants, such as Allium sativum, A. cepa, Zingiber officinale, Platycodon grandiflorum, Oenanthe javanica, and Capsella brusapastoris, were tested in vitro for inhibitory activity against mycelial growth of anthracnose fungi, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, C. dematium, and C. coccodes. Among the plant extracts, an Allium sativum extract has good inhibitory effects in all the fungi. Four phytohormones namely, IAA(indole-3-acetic acid), NAA(a-Naphthyl acetic acid), 2,4-D(2,4-Dichloro phenoxy acetic acid) and BAP(Benzyl adenine purine) were used to find out the role over mycelial growth of these fungi. All the concentrations of BAP have good inhibitory effect against mycelial growth of these fungi than that of other tested plant hormones.

Antioxidant activity of dropwort fermented extract (DFE) was measured according to fermentation period, and liver protective effects were examined using Sprague-Dawley rats. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents as well as DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities increased up to 60~80 days and then decreased slightly. Proper fermentation time for DFE was more than 60 days and less than 80 days. Administration of alcohol to rats for 10 days at 10 mL/kg/day raised serum AST, ALT, total cholesterol, and triglyceride (TG) levels, which were then lowered by DFE and sugar liquid with the same soluble solids. While sugar liquid increased the blood lipid profile, especially TG levels, DFE had no effect due to its antioxidant activity. When TBARS content of the DFE group in liver tissue significantly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner compared to that of the ALH group (p<0.05). Liver damage was recovered by DFE treatment and was confirmed by hamatoxylin-eosin staining. These results suggest that DFE has a protective effect against alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity in SD rats.

Recently, as the demand for masks increases, the use of filter-replaceable cotton masks is increasing. A filter-replaceable cotton mask is one of the ways to solve the environmental problems of a disposable nonwoven mask because only the filter can be replaced after washing. Cotton fiber products are known to be environmentally friendly, but cotton products dyed with general synthetic dyes are not safe for humans. In this study, to prepare of cotton mask applied with natural dyeing, the optimal dyeing conditions are set when dyeing with gallnut extract. A polychromatic natural dye that changes color by mordant, and the functionalities of gallnut dyeing fabrics are evaluated. The experimental method is dyed the gallnut by temperature and time by concentration to set the optimal conditions. The color fastness rating grade of aluminium potassium sulfate dodecahydrate, copper(ll) sulfate pentahydrate, and iron(ll) chloride tetrahydrate were evaluated after the pre/post mordanting.

본 연구는 농업용저수지의 수질개선을 위한 인공습지 시스템에서 수리학적 부하조건과 수질정화 특성간의 상관관계를 평가하고, 습지의 조성과 관리에 관한 기본적이며 주요 인자들을 규명하고자하였다. 인공습지시스템은 저수지 중층수를 유입시키기 위한 양수장과 미나리, 창포, 줄, 부들, 갈대등의 정수식물을 식재한 6개의 개별습지로 구성되어 있다. 시스템은 자유수면흐름방식으로 유입처리유량 $0.012-0.122\;m^3/s$,수리학적 체류시간 0.5-2.0 hr의 수리학적 고부하조건으로 운영하였으며, 수심은 0.1-0.2m, 유입수질은 저수지를 대상으로 하여 비교적 낮은 영양염류 농도(TN 2.224-2.462 mg/L, TP 0.145-0.164 mg/L)를 가지고 있다. 본 연구기간 중 각 개별습지의 평균 수질정화효율은 TN 12.1-14.3%로 갈대조에서 높게 나타났으며, TP는 6.3-9.5%로 식물 종에 따른 른 차이가없었다. SS는 17.4-38.5%, Cht-a는 12.6-20.2%로 미나리조에서 높게 나타났는데, 이는 유입수 농도가 다소 높은 때문으로 판단된다. 시간당 정화량은 TN $1.299-2.343\;g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ TP $0.85-1821\;g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$, SS는 $17.9-111.6\;g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$. Chl-3는 $0.011-0.094\;g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$로 정화효율에서와 달리 TN은 줄에서 가장 높았고, TP는 창포에서 높았다. 침강성 물질인 SS와 Chl-a는 미나리에서 높게 나타났으며, 미나리는 BOD, COD, TN, TP등 다른 수질항목에서도 높은 값을 보여주고 있어 정화효율에서와 같이 유입수농도가 습지내 물질제거에 영향이 있음을 보여준다. 정화효율 및 시간당 정화량과 수리학적 조건간의 상관관계는 수심, 체류시간, 일유입량, 수리학적 부하량, 유입수 농도, 온도 등 다양한 변수에 의한 영향으로 비교적 낮게 나타났다. 정화효율과 수리학적조건간의 상관계수($R^2$)는 수리학적 체류시간과 0.016-0.731,일처리유량과는 0.015-0.868을 나타내었으며, 시간당 정화량과 수리학적 조건간의 상관계수($R^2$)는 수리학적 체류시간과는 0.173-0.763,일처리유량과는 0.209-0.770의 범위를 나타내었다. 정화효율과 수리학적 부하조건간의 상관계수($R^2$)Tt 0.5 이상을 나타내는 각 수생식물 습지별 수질항목은 체류시간과 일처리유량에 대해각각 20%,정화속도와 수리학적 조건간의 상관계수는 체류시간에 대해 53%, 일처리유량에 대해73%가 0.5이상을 보이고 있어 시간당 정화량과 수리학적 조건간의 상관관계가 정화효율과의 상관관계보다 좀더 유의성 있게 나타났다. 이것은 높은 수리학적 부하조건이 영양염류 등의 정화효율에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않음을 보여주고 있으며, 따라서 비교적 낮은 농도의 영양염류를 가지고 있고, 많은 처리수량을 요구하는 부영양화된 저수지의 수질개선을 위해서는 높은 수리학적 부하조건에서 시간당 정화량을 늘리는 관리방법이 경제적이며, 이에 초점을 맞추어 나가야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the practical application and optimum conditions for adding functional dropwort, which is rich in physiological activity to Sulgidduk, toward developing dropwort-added dduk as a healthy food. To this end, samples of Sulgidduk with 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7% added dropwort powder were prepared, stored for 2 days at $20^{\circ}C$, after which the water content, chromaticity, and mechanical and sensory quality characteristics were measured. The results were as follows. The water content of nonglutinous rice powder and dropwort powder used for dropwort-added Sulgidduk was 41.73% and 3.5%, respectively. The water content decreased with increasing amounts of dropwort powder the group with 7% added dropwort powder was 33.88%, the lowest. For chromaticity, the L value decreased with increasing amount of dropwort powder with significant differences between groups with different added amounts (p<0.001). The a and b values increased with increasing amount of dropwort powder while they were 7.21 and 29.22, respectively, in the 7% dropwort powder-added group with significant differences between samples (p<0.001). For mechanical quality characteristics hardness decreased with increasing of amount of dropwort powder with significant differences between samples (p<0.001). There was no difference between samples in cohesiveness and springiness. Gumminess increased with increasing amount of dropwort powder with significant differences between samples (p<0.05). Chewiness and adhesiveness had a tendency to decrease with increasing amounts of dropwort powder. Overall acceptability was in the order of 3%, 5%, 1%, 7%, and 0% dropwort powder-added groups. Overall, for dropwort powder added Sulgidduk, the quality of flavor, color and taste was acceptable, compared to other powder-added groups. The 3% dropwort powder-added group was highly rated in general preference making it most desirable for making dropwort powder-added Sulgidduk.
