Solanum nigrum L. (SNL), generally known as black nightshade, is traditionally used as medicine to reduce inflammation caused by several diseases like asthma, chronic bronchitis and liver cirrhosis. In this study, anti-inflammatory effects of SNL extract were examined and possible molecular mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory effects were investigated. The inhibitory effects of SNL extract on nitric oxide (NO), pro-inflammatory cytokines ($TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6) and Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) productions were dissected using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated murine macrophage-like cell line Raw264.7 cells and human microglial cell line BV2 cells. We further investigated whether SNL extract could suppress the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, and p38 and the nuclear expression of nuclear factor $NF-{\kappa}B$ p65 in LPS-stimulated Raw264.7 cells and BV2 cells. As a result, we showed that the SNL extract significantly decreased the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, NO, and MMP-9. In addition, the SNL strongly inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, p38 and nuclear translocation of $NF-{\kappa}B$ p65 in activated cells. We confirmed that the extracts of SNL effectively inhibits the anti-inflammatory and may be used as a therapeutic to various inflammatory diseases.

본 연구에서는 한국산 자작나무과 식물 5속 6종의 뿌리와 줄기의 이기목부를 비교해부학적으로 연구하였다. 뿌리와 줄기의 이기목부에 있어서 해부학적 특징은 도관 및 섬유의 직경은 줄기에 비해 뿌리에서 더 넓은 반면 단위면적당 도관 및 섬유의 분포수는 뿌리에서 더 적었으며, 도관요소의 길이는 줄기에서 더 긴 반면 섬유의 길이는 뿌리에서 더 길었다. 천공판상의 횡대수는 뿌리보다 줄기에서 더 많았고, 단위면적당 방사조직의 수는 뿌리에서 더 많았다.

Symplocos Jacq. including about 350 species is the sole isolated genus of the family Symplocaceae. Despite poorly documented species delimitation and unresolved taxonomic nomenclature four species of Symplocos (S. coreana, S purnifolia, S sawafutagi, and S. tanakana) have been described in Korea. In this study, we carried the comparative wood anatomy of all the four species of Korean Symplocos to understand the wood anatomical variations within these four species. The result of this study indicated that Korean Symplocos are comparatively indistinguishable in terms of their qualitative wood features except for exclusively uniseriate rays present in S. purnifolia instead of uni- to- multiseriate in other three species. However, discrepancies are observed in quantitative wood variables such as vessel density, vessel size, and ray density. The vessel density of S. purnifolia (highest among the four species) is more than two times higher than the S. sawafutagi (lowest among the four species) and S. tanakana. On the other hand, vessel size is likewise reverse to the vessel number relationships i. e. vessel circumference and diameter in both planes of S. sawafutagi and S. tanakana is almost twice a larger than S. purnifolia. Interestingly, S. coreana remains in between of these two groups in terms of vessel features and closer to S. purnifolia in terms of ray density. The cluster analysis based on the paired group (UPGMA) algorithm using the Euclidean similarity index clearly differentiates S. purnifolia from the rest of the taxa representing the first isolated clade of the tree.

곰솔의 지역간 잎 형태 변이를 이해하기 위하여 한반도의 해안지역 12군데에서 채집한 곰솔의 잎 해부형태를 비교 연구하였다. 곰솔 잎의 해부학적 특징은 섬유상 표피, 2-3층의 하피, 표피보다 내려앉은 기공구조, 한가지 형태로 구성된 엽육조직, 뚜렷한 유관속초 등을 가진 전형적인 바늘상 잎이다. 곰솔 잎에 있어서 수지도는 발생위치에 따라 유관속초의 외부, 중간, 내부 등 3가지 분포형태로 구분되었다. 조사된 모든 재료에서 수지도의 개수는 4개에서 12개까지 지역간 변이가 관찰되었다. 기공은 잎 전체를 통하여 기공선으로 발달하였다. 곰솔 잎 해부형태에서 관찰된 중요한 차이는 수지도의 발생위치와 전체개수 그리고 잎 표면에 나타나는 기공의 기공선 개수이었다.

An analysis of the vegetative and reproductive anatomy of Sargassum lapazeanum was performed based on extensive sampling in three areas within its geographical range: a) San Juan de la Costa, b) Punta Calera, c) Punta Machos. Material was collected from low intertidal to subtidal populations and evaluated based on variations present within and between populations. Our goal was to comprehensively analyze the features of the vegetative and reproductive anatomy of this species. Our observations showed that this species has cauline, which is anatomically composed of three tissues layers. This species is dioic, with male and female conceptacles in the same receptacle but with different maturation times. The present study confirmed the presence of cauline in this species; this structure was previously described for some species in the Gulf of California, such as Sargassum horridum, and for several species in Japan. This structure could be responsible for the growth of primary branches and may also generate a new plant. This trend might explain the perennial nature of this species at the population level. Field and laboratory experiments could help to delimit the ecophysiological conditions under which this structure starts to develop.

The inhibitory effect of Inula sesquiterpene lactones on the growth of Phaseolus vulgaris was tested and the abnormality of the stem organization caused by the lactones was also examined. The longitudinal growth of the young stem and the expansion of the young leaf were stopped by the application of the lactones. However, this inhibitory effect was appeared and strictly restricted within the treated area. So the young shoot was observed for possible bending as a result of the unilateral application of the lactones. When the application of the lactones into the medium, the growth of the plant was entirely repressed. However, the growth of shoot and re-initiation of root were started after the plant was transfered to the lactone free medium. And partial reversal of inhibition of the stem growth was achieved by the additions of gibberelline and the lactones.

개나리족(Abeliophyllum: 1 sp., Forsythia: 12 spp.)과 향선나무족(Fontanesia: 2 spp.) 및 근연분류군인 Myxopyreae족(Myxopyrum: 5 spp.)을 포함한 총 20분류군의 엽병의 해부학적인 형질을 검토하고자 광학현미경(LM)을 이용하여 연구하였다. 모든 해부학적 형질은 엽병의 횡단면을 단부, 중앙부, 기부로 나누어 관찰하였고, 측정된 정량적 형질과 정성적 형질에 대해 자세히 비교하고 기재하였다. 세 가지 유형(침상, 프리즘형, 선정체)의 결정체가 Fontanesia속과 Myxopyrum속에서만 확인되었다. 미선나무속과 개나리속의 일부 분류군(Forsythia europaea, F. giraldiana, F. japonica)에서만 단세포성 비선모(uni-cellular non-glandular trichome)가 관찰되었다. 본 연구 결과에서는 엽병의 유관속 패턴을 크게 두 타입으로 구분하여 기재하였다. Type 1A: 결정체가 존재하지 않는 단순호형(Abeliophyllum, Forsythia), 1B: 결정체가 존재하는 단순호형(Myxopyrum), Type 2: 결정체가 존재하는 함입호형(Fontanesia). 또한 세부적인 해부학적 형질에 대해 자세히 기재하였고, 분류학적 중요성에 대해 논의하였다. 결론적으로 일부 엽병 해부학적 형질(예, 주유관속 패턴, 결정체의 유무)은 진단형질로서 유용할 뿐 아니라 최근의 분자계통학적 결과를 지지하였다.

Bacopa monnieri is a medicinal plant with a long history of use in Ayurveda, especially in the treatment of poor memory and cognitive deficits. In the present study, we hypothesized that Bacopa monnieri extract (BME) can improve memory via increased cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the dentate gyrus. BME was administered to 7-week-old mice once a day for 4 weeks and a novel object recognition memory test was performed. Thereafter, the mice were euthanized followed by immunohistochemistry analysis for Ki67, doublecortin (DCX), and phosphorylated cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), and western blot analysis of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). BME-treated mice showed moderate increases in the exploration of new objects when compared with that of familiar objects, leading to a significant higher discrimination index compared with vehicle-treated mice. Ki67 and DCX immunohistochemistry showed a facilitation of cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation following the administration of BME in the dentate gyrus. In addition, administration of BME significantly elevated the BDNF protein expression in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, and increased CREB phosphorylation in the dentate gyrus. These data suggest that BME improves novel object recognition by increasing the cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the dentate gyrus, and this may be closely related to elevated levels of BDNF and CREB phosphorylation in the dentate gyrus.
