Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that is known to have the characteristics of destructed periodontal tissue. Anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of mulberry leaves in periodontal tissue is not well known until now. We investigated the effects of n-butanol extract of mulberry leaves on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced proinflammatory cytokines, such as $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, IL-8 and modulates osteogenic differentiation in periodontal ligament cells. The expression levels of Runx2, ALP and mRNA were increased by n-butanol extract of mulberry leaves at the concentration of $100{\mu}g/ml$ in periodontal ligament cells. n-Butanol extract of mulberry leaves extract reduced the range of pathophysiological processes, such as inflammation and increase in the level of osteogenic-related genes. These findings suggest that n-butanol extract of mulberry leaves has therapeutic effects on periodontitis and periodontal tissue regeneartion.

Aqueous extract of Enicostemma littorale is reported to have antidiabetic activity. In the present investigation, we studied the effect of aqueous extract of E. littorale and its different fractions i.e., toluene, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol fractions and remaining residual fraction in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced neonatal type 2 diabetic rats. Fasting glucose and insulin levels in NIDDM were significantly (P<0.05) higher than control rats and they were significantly decreased by treatment with aqueous extract of E. littorale and its n-butanol and ethyl acetate fractions. Results of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) showed that aqueous extract and its n-butanol and ethyl acetate fractions significantly (P<0.05) decrease both $AUC_{glucose}$ and $AUC_{insulin}$ values in NIDDM treated groups. Insulin sensitivity $(K_{ITT})$ index of NIDDM control was significantly lower as compared to normal control and this was significantly (P<0.05) increased after treatment with aqueous extract, its n-butanol and ethyl acetate fractions. Treatment with aqueous extract of E. littorale and its n-butanol and ethyl acetate fractions lowered the elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels observed in NIDDM rats. Treatment with aqueous extract of E. littorale and its n-butanol fraction showed significant decrease in creatinine, urea, SGPT and SGOT levels as compared to NIDDM control rats. However ethyl acetate fraction showed significant changes only in creatinine and SGOT levels, and not in the levels of urea, and SGPT as compared to NIDDM control rats. Treatment with toluene, chloroform and residual fractions of E. littorale did not produce any effect on glucose, insulin, triglyceride, cholesterol, creatinine, urea, SGPT or SGOT levels as compared to NIDDM control rats. Our data suggest that n-butanol and ethyl acetate fractions contain the active compounds which may be responsible for the above activity and associated complications in NIDDM diabetes mellitus.

n-Butanol and ethyl acetate extracts of thermal treatment yam (Dioscorea batatas $D_{ECNE.}$) belonging to the family Dioscoreaceae were measured for their radical scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation inhibition ability. In this study, ethyl acetate extract showed the most potent antioxidant activity evaluated by ferrous ion chelating activity and NO radical scavenging activity. Nevertheless, n-butanol extract was more effective in inhibiting linoleic acid peroxidation. A significant difference between n-butanol extract and ethyl acetate extract in nitrite scavenging activity ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching assays could not be found. Also, the results of this study showed that thermal treatment yam could be used as easily accessible source of natural antioxidants and as a possible food supplement.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of Taraxacum herba extract on the hepatic xanthine oxidase activity as a oxygen free radical generating enzyme in vitro and in vivo. It was observed that partial purified hepatic xanthine oxidase (type O) activity was strongly inhibited by the addition of Taraxacum herba n-butanol extract in vitro. The Km value of xanthine oxidase without affecting the Vmax value for xanthine was significantly increased by the addition of ta-dase (type O) activity was significantly inhibited by the treatment of Taraxacum gerba n-butanol ex-tract for 5days(over 40mg/kg, i.p), whereas, xanthine oxidase (type D) activity was not changed by the injection of Taracacum herba n-butanol extract. Meanwhile, liver weight / body weight(%), serum alanine aminotransferase activity and hepatic lipid peroxide content in Taraxacum herba n-buta-nol extract-treated rat were not changed. These findings led us to conclude that Taraxacum herba n-butanol extract may regulate the hepatic xanthine oxidase type O activity to prevent toxic effect of oxidative stress by the oxygen free radicals.

민들레 (Taraxacum mongolicum H.) 추출물에 대한 위장보호효과를 측정하기 위하여 민들레를 ethanol로 추출한 후 methylene chloride과 n-butanol을 이용하여 용매의 극성에 따라 순차적으로 추출물을 분획하여 각 분획물을 얻었다. 이들 분획물로 총플라보노이드 및 luteolin 함량을 측정하고 H. pylori 항균작용, urease 저해 효과, 프리라디칼소거작용, 세포막 보호 효과에 대해 시험하였다. 각 분획물의 총 플라보노이드와 luteolin 함량을 측정을 한 결과 n-butanol 분획에서 각각 27.75%, 1.14%로 다른 분획들보다 2가지 성분 모두 가장 많이 함유하고 있었다. 효능 시험에서도 n-butanol 분획은 위장 질환을 일으키는 직접적인 요인 중 하나인 H. pylori에 대한 항균 및 urease 저해 시험에서 다른 분획물 보다 좋은 결과를 보였다. 또한, 위장 장애의 간접적인 요인이 될 수 있는 라디칼의 소거 작용 및 활성산소로부터 세포막 보호에 대한 각 분획물의 시험에서도 n-butanol 분획물이 가장 우수한 효과를 나타내었으며 DPPH 라디칼소거능의 $SC_{50}$ 값은 $47{\mu}g/ml$, 세포막 보호실험에서 ${\tau}_{50}$=172min$(C=5.0{\mu}g/mL)$이었다. 따라서 각 분획물의 성분 분석과 수행되어진 효능 실험 결과들을 비교하여 볼 때 민들레 추출물의 n-butanol 분획물이 위점막 보호에 효과가 있음을 예측할 수 있었으며 위장 보호를 위한 조성물의 성분으로 사용될 수 있음을 시사하였다.

Spherically expanding flames are used to measure flame speeds, which are derived the corresponding laminar flame speeds at zero stretch. Flame speeds of n-butanol at high pressure are studied over an extensive range of equivalence ratios. The classical shadowgraph technique is used to detect the reaction zone. In analytical methodology the optimization process using least mean squares is performed to extract the laminar flame speeds. Laminar flame speeds are compared with results obtained from numerical work.

In Korea, yam with thermal treatment is widely used to produce tea and beverage, which appeals to all age groups. To better understand the antioxidative activity of thermal treatment yam (Dioscorea batatas $D_{ECNE.}$), n-butanol and ethyl acetate extracts were evaluated with different antioxidant testing system. Their antioxidant activities, including ABTS [2,2' -azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt] radical scavenging activity, DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and ferric reducing antioxidant power as well as total phenol contents were assessed in vitro. Results showed ethyl acetate extract ($51.63{\pm}2.51mg\;CAE/g$) possessed similar total phenol content compared with n-butanol extract ($53.93{\pm}1.00mg\;CAE/g$). Ethyl acetate extract also exhibited similarly stronger antioxidant activity compared with n-butanol extract apart from ABTS radical scavenging activity assay.

This study aimed at evaluating the antioxidant activity of raw yam (Dioscorea batatas $D_{ECNE.}$) extracted by n-butanol and ethyl acetate. The antioxidant activities, including ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt] radical scavenging activity, DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and ferric reducing antioxidant power as well as total phenol contents were studied in vitro. Results showed ethyl acetate extract ($111.88{\pm}0.66mg\;CAE/g$) possessed higher total phenol content than n-butanol extract ($78.68{\pm}0.58mg\;CAE/g$). Ethyl acetate extract exhibited stronger antioxidant activity compared with n-butanol extract apart from reducing power assay.

To investigate the antioxidant activities of Pinus densiflora needle (Pinaceae), which is widely used as a traditional medicine in Korea, Caenorhabditis elegans model system was used. The n-butanol fraction of P. densiflora needle methanol extract showed the most potent DPPH radical scavenging and superoxide quenching activities in a dose-dependent manner. The n-butanol fraction was measured for the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and oxidative stress tolerance by using C. elegans with reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. In addition, to see that the regulation of the stress response gene is responsible for the increased stress tolerance of C. elegans treated by the butanol extract, SOD-3 expression was measured using a transgenic strain. As a result, the P. densiflora needle n-butanol fraction increased SOD and catalase activities, and decreased ROS accumulation, dose-dependently. Furthermore, the n-butanol fraction-treated CF1553 worm showed higher SOD-3::GFP intensity than the control.
