In order to measure the bioavailability of Coptidis Rhizoma preparations, berberine was extracted by the mixture (1:1 v/v) of methanol and water from Coptidis Rhizoma and formulated into pills with some excipients. Disintegration time, dissolution rate, intestinal absorption rate, antibacterial effect, and serum concentration were measured. All pills were disintegrated about 60 minutes in gastric and intestinal juices and disintegration time did not change upon storage at $40^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. The pills manufactured using the extract which was extracted with the solvent containing dilute sulfuric acid showed faster dissolution and absorption from the small intestine than the other samples. It also showed not only the largest area under the serum concentration time curve and relative bioavailability, but also more potent antibacterial effect against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterias than the other samples. The correlation of the dissolution rate with absorption rate constant or $t_{max}$ showed a significant linear relationship.

Accurate counting and packaging pills is one of the most fundamental works of the pharmaceutical industry. But it is so labor consuming and very hard to be automated. As the pharmaceutical industry is growing bigger, the need of counting and packaging automation is increasing to obtain effective mass production. Precise and quick sensing is required in the counting and processing of quickly dropping pills to improve the productivity. There are many trials for this automation and automatic machine. But the performance of the existing counting machine varies with the size, shape and the dispersion degree of pills In this research, authors design the counting and packing machine of medicinal pills that is more accurate and highly trustworthy After getting analog signal from optical sensor, pill passage is discriminated from chosen characteristic feature using microprocessor.

Nowadays, the interests about medical service and health concerting, in other words "Healthcare",are increasing. For healthcare, one of the most convenient and populated methods is taking nutritional supplements like vitamin everyday. According to social currency, we realize ' Automatic Pill Dispenser (APD)' in order to make the storage of pills easy and to help people take pills steadily periodically. First, the APD alerts at the time when the user sets. To prevent polluting pills, if the ultrasonic sensor recognizes user hands, and then after the APD distributes pills through activating the motor. If there are more the APDs, for example, hospitals can manage manpower more efficiently. Furthermore, If it is recorded which and how much pills are distributed automatically, It can be expected that people can take the pills more efficiently and healthfully.

As the pharmaceutical industry grows and becomes more competitive, the need of automation increases to establish effective mass production and to maintain consistent quality control. Accurate counting and packing of medicinal pills is one of the most essential processes that the automation can benefit. In conventional automated counting and packing processes, the performance of counting process varies with the size, the shape and the dispersion degree of pills. In this research, the authors developed a new pill-counting algorithm based on carefully analyzed characteristics of the pill-drop behavior. Also a new scheme for the packing of an exact number of pills has been implemented. A pill counting and packing machine with the new pill-counting algorithm and the new packing scheme has been constructed and put in an actual production line. To achieve precise and quick sensing of pills dropping at a high speed from the preceding processors, the machine uses non-contact photo sensors. Experimental results from the actual process using the machine are included to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and the machine.

It is fundamental to count and pack the pills in the medicine manufacture field but those tasks are time and labor consuming. Thus, the need fur automation of those tasks is necessarily getting increased in order to get effective mass production. It Is significant to perceive pills quickly and precisely. There were many trials for this processing but the performance of the existing counting machines varies about size, shape and dispersion tendency of pills. In this paper, the authors try to improve the counting performance of a pill counting machine that has optical sensors with the neural network. The passing signal of pill is acquired with optical sensor and the passage signal of the pill is extracted as input patterns. The gradient and integration of signal during passing time and the time keeping the pill interrupt the light from the LED are used as characteristic feature. The back propagation and perception algorithm are used for training. Experimental results with several pills show that the designed algorithm is a little bit effective to reduce the noise effect which is generated from interference among the machine components and unreliable environment.

Objective : We searched and collected the various ways of taking medicine in Naegyeong, Dongeuibogam and studied the possibilities to apply the traditional ways of taking medicine to the current way of taking medicine. Method : We collected all the ways of taking medicine in Naegyeong and classified the ways according to the relative importance, urgency, pathosis, time of disease, and, the conditions of patients. Result : Medicinal forms are decoction, pills, trituration, and thin porridge. Various kinds of water and the prepared rice forms were used. A single herb was boiled and its water was used to take the medicine. Also, liquor and honey were used to take medicine. More than two herbs or special prescriptions were boiled and the extract water was taken. The same medicine was taken by different boiled water according to the condition and age of a patient, time, acute or chronic illness, and, severe or mild disease. Conclusion : There are a lot of pills and trituration prescriptions in Naegyeong, Dongeuibogam. Water, various rice preparations, and several herbs are used to take these prescriptions. The reason is that these ways of taking medicine promote the medicinal effect and fast treatment to maximize the medicinal effects. From now on, the in-depth and mutilple studies are needed based on this research.

This study investigated the pollution status of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as benzopyran, which is a harmful substance, in convergence herbal pills distributed in Seoul. During 2010 ~ 2013, 31 items and 93 samples were collected from the herbal medicines vendors in Seoul, and the samples were extracted, filtered, concentrated, and then spun out with SPE (Sep-pak florisil) and concentrated again and analyzed by liquid chromatography. The results of the analysis showed that the average contents of PAHs were below $10{\mu}g/kg$, and the PAHs were lower than those of daily life exposure, and MOEs was evaluated as safe to a negligible level. In the future, comparative fusion studies on the harmful substances of medicinal pills and food pills are needed.

A 23-year-old female has visited university hospital for abdominal colic and constipation. She took home-made herb pills for 15 days as a traditional remedy for skin eczema. On clinical examinations, conjunctiva was pale, sclera was icteric and lead line was visible on gingiva. Laboratory examinations are as follows; hemoglobin was 8.6g/$d{\ell}$, reticulocyte was 4.2% and there was basophilic stippling of erythrocytes in peripheral blood smear. Blood level of lead was elevated as $69{\mu}g/d{\ell}$. The herb pills contained 3.32% lead, with cumulative dose of lead over 3.2g. The herb pills were manufactured by a 70-year-old man who was not aware of the health hazard of lead. We suppose that he made herb pills with the imported raw materials from China that contained a high percentage of lead.
