Ethanol extract obtained from bark, roots, stem, leaves and seeds of 30 species of plants and mushroom, Dicyophora indusiata were examined antimicrobial effect on fish pathogenic bacteria, Listoneria anguillamm, Lactococcus garvieae, Streptococcus iniae by disk method. Ethanol extract of D. indusiata was found to be the most active against all fish pathogenic bacteria in test system. Ethyl acetate fraction from ethanol extract of D. indusiata showed the strongest compared with those from other solvent fractions such as dichloromethane, n-buthanol and water. The antimicrobial effect of ethyl acetate fraction was particularly evident against S. iniae.

Certain parts of 36 kinds of plant were extracted by 75% ethanol and water. The extracts were tested their microbial inhibition activities against several food spoilage microorganisms, Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus cereus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The ethanol extract of amur cork was shown inhibitory effect on all 6 species of the microorganisms tested. Chinese pepper, sesame cake, gromwell and oak were on 5 species except S. cerevisiae or P. fluorescens and bamboo leaves, lycopi herba, paulownia and rigida were on 4 species. In general amur cork exhibited the strongest inhibition with a few exceptions on certain species. By disc diffusion method, the ethanol extract of leaf mustard showed the highest inhibition effect on B. subtilis, amur cork on L.plantarum, L. mesenteroides and B. cereus, and amur cork and gallnut on P. fluorescens. Mostly the ethanol extracts in comparison with water extracts showed higher inhibition in most of plants but a few exhibited higher in water extracts.

In this study, we investigated the boosting effects on collagen biosynthesis of $Anthriscus$ $sylvestris$ ethanol extract (ASE) in human dermal fibroblasts. To obtain more effective fraction and subfraction for collagen biosynthesis, standard solvent partition and open column chromatography were performed. The EtOH extract, solvent fractions, and 8 EtOAc subfractions were tested for their collagen synthesis capacity by [$^3H$]Proline-incorporation and ELISA assay. ASE increased 25% of total collagen synthesis and 27% of procollagen biosynthesis. The total collagen biosynthesis was increased by EtOAc fraction and E6 subfraction to 28% and 50% respectively. Type I procollagens were also upregulated by EtOAc fraction and E6 subfraction to 30% and 47%, each. Taken together, our data suggest that potential anti-aging effect of ASE on skin is via increasing collagen biosynthesis and effective subtraction is E6 subfraction of EtOAc fraction.

Certain parts of 95 species of edible and medical plants were extracted with water and 75% of ethyl alcohol. After addition of those extracts to palm oil, lard and soybean oil at different level, their antioxidative activities were compared by Rancimat test. Six species among them seemed to have rather strong antioxidative activity and high extracting yields(i.e. Taraxacum platycarpum, Plantago asiatica, Rhus javanica L., Lycopus lucidus, Astragalus membranaceus, Taraxacum platycarpumH). Among them, the Rhus javanica L. ethanol extract retarded greatly the induction period of palm oil and lard. When 600 ppm of Rhus javanica L. extract were added to palm oil and lard, AI(antioxidant index was expressed as induction period of oil containing various plant extracts/induction period of control oil) of each was 1.35 and 3.03 respectively. This result indicated that the Rhus javanica L. extract was more effective on lard than the other oils.

African marigold is a common plant easily available in many flower beds. It has been reported as a practical and prospective resource of dyes since the dyes can be extracted from their bodies as well as petals. In this research, cotton and ramie fabrics which are made from natural cellulose were dyed using the extract of the African Marigold which is a variety of marigold. Dyeing tests were carried out under different pH of the dye solution and mordants. Dyeability was evaluated by examining and measuring surface color, K/S value, and the changes in the maximum absorption wavelength. The probability of improving dyeability was investigated by pre-mordanting with pre-treated chitosan. For the dyeing with marigold extract, the color tone did not differ by pre-mordanting and non-mordanting. Reaction with post-mordanting was excellent, which was colored in various yellow series. The best dyeability was achieved in dye solution of pH 6.5-7.0 which is not conditioned. The largest K/S value and color difference were obtained in tin mordanting. The dye uptake was greatly increased in chitosan pre-treated mordanting compared with the post-mordanting without chitosan pre-treatment. Due to its high heat resistance, African Marigold extract is easy for dye extraction and dyeing, and its dyeability is excellent for natural cellulose fibers. Also, colorfastness was proved to be practically usable.

Platelet anti-aggregating activities were evaluated with three combined crude drug preparations which have been used for 'eahyul'-one of the pathological concept in oriental medicine presumably concerning blood stasis or stagnant syndrome. The water extract of each combined preparation and each component plant was tested for their effects against ADP, arachidonic acid (AA) or collagen induced rat platelet aggregations. Mild inhibitory activities were observed with all the three tested preparations, Kaechibokryung-Hwan, Dangkqijakyak-San and Ohnkyung-Tang, and the component plants which are included in at least two of the above preparations.

Phytochemical investigation of the MeOH extract of the leaves of Nelumbo nucifera resulted in the isolation of five norsesquiterpenes, four flavonoids, two triterpenes and one alkaloid. Their chemical structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods to be (E)-3-hydroxymegastigm-7-en-9-one (1), (3S,5R,6S,7E)- megastigma-7-ene-3,5,6,9-tetrol (2), dendranthemoside B (3), icariside $B_2$ (4), sedumoside $F_1$ (5), luteolin (6), quercetin 3-0-${\beta}$-D-glucuronide (7), quercetin 3-0-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (8), isorhamnetin 3-0-rutinoside (9), alphitolic acid (10), maslinic acid (11), and N-methylasimilobine (12).
