Shikryochanyo written by Jeon Soonyi is a text that extracted paragraphs related to food therapy from medical books or materia medica of Korea and China. "Shikryochanyo" treats disease by food instead of herbs(or drugs) and pork is the majority of methods as food therapy in "Shikryochanyo". So there are 25 paragraphs of using pork, in 15 categories out of 45 in "Shikryochanyo". However, it is known that pork is not recommended as a food when a person got disease and not allowed during medication in Oriental Medicine. As a food therapy in "Shikryochanyo", not only pork itself but liver, kidney, stomach, bladder, heart, etc. are used and diverse food styles are applied as soup, porridge, roasting and so on.

Norditerpene alkaloids are the main toxic principles of traditional oriental herb 'chuawu(bu-shi),' which have been used in Chinese materia medica mainly for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. They are biosynthesized via cyclization of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, incoration of 2-aminoethanol and decarboxylation not via amino acid pathway, and the structural characteristics have tempted several oxidative reactions. In this study various norditerpene alkaloids were subjected to react active manganese dioxide and oxoammonium salt as oxidants. The oxidation was proceeded as dealkylation with aconitine type and dehydrogenations with lycoctonin and heteratisine type.

Platycodi Radix, as one of the most important traditional oriental materia medica, is utilized frequently in clinical practice and dietary in China, Korea, and Japan. To evaluate definitely the quality of Platycodi Radix, and provide scientific data for commodity circulation, new product development and clinical application of Platycodi Radix, we summarized its medical history, application status, chemical compositions, bioactivities, cultivation, international circulation, quality evaluation, dosage and safety, and brought forward some constructive suggestions on further establishment of international criteria for quality control of Platycodon grandiflorum.

The plants medicinal resources of Mt. Chu-woL were investigated 21times from APril, 1975 to August , 1977 and from JuLy, 1988 to August 1989In orther to analyze the vegetation of Chu-woL mountain area , medical wildplants structure and distribution. MedicaL wild plants of Chu-woL moun-tain consisted of 113 familis, 428 species in alL. The resources of important herb drugs were Polypodiaceae, Graminea, Liliaceae , Polygonaceae,Ranunculaceae, Brassicaceae, Rosaceae , Fabaceae, Apiaceae, tabiatae, so-lanaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Campanulaceae, Compositae. The herb drugswere comparatively more than in other mountains in our country .

Magnoflorine, an important compound in Aristolochia, was usually used as an anxiolytic chemical. In this study, the magnoflorine was isolated from Aristolochia and the biological activities such as antioxidant, ${\alpha}$-tyrosinase inhibitory, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities were investigated. The magnoflorine showed significant antioxidant activity as a 2,2-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenger, $50{\mu}g/mL$ of the magnoflorine scavenged about 70.8% of all the free radicals. And it was good at ${\alpha}$-tyrosinase inhibiting, $100{\mu}g/mL$ of the magnoflorine inhibited 36.5% of the tyrosinase. High dosage of magnoflorine inhibited the inflammation production nitric oxide (NO), and the magnoflorine protected the murine macrophage cells (RAW 264.7) from LPS-induced apoptosis. The cell viability of human colon cancer calls (HT-29) was around 100% when treated with different dose of magnoflorine, it's suggesting that magnoflorine had no anticancer effect.

The paper describes the practice and purpose of the medical missionaries research on the traditional Chinese drugs(中藥). Searches were made using the journal of the China Medical Missionary Association. The China Medical Missionary Association established the committee of the Chinese Materia Medica in 1890. This committee aimed to research on the traditional Chinese drugs. Then why did the medical missionaries study traditional Chinese drugs? This is because the western drugs(西洋藥）was not easy to acquire, especially in land areas. Also, some western drugs have poor quality and expensive. Therefore they need to understand that Chinese drugs will help in the production of the western drugs. But from around 1920, the main purpose of the research was changed. The scientific and systematic investigation on the Chinese medicine itself became more important. And this change partly influenced that medical missionaries' views on traditional Chinese drugs.

A new cycloartane glycoside was isolated from the dried whole herbs of Camptosorus sibiricus Rupr By means of chemical (hydrolysis) and spectroscopic methods (IR, 1D, and 2D NMR, ESI-MS), the structure was established as $3{\beta}$, $7{\beta}$, $24{\beta}$, 25, 30-pentahydroxycycloartane-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside-24-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (1).

Anginal symptoms are frequently encountered in patients without the presence of significant obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). It is increasingly recognized that vasomotor disorders, such as an abnormal vasodilatory capacity of the coronary microcirculation or coronary vasospasm, are the dominant pathophysiological substrate in these patients. Although the evidence with respect to angina in patients with non-obstructive coronary arteries is accumulating, the diagnosis and treatment of these patients remains challenging. In this review, we aimed to provide a comprehensive overview regarding the pathophysiological origins of angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries disorders and its diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. Hereby, we provide a practical approach for the management of patents with angina and non-obstructive CAD.
