The purgative activity of Seunggitang prescriptions (Deseunggitang, Soseunggitang and Joweseunggitang) was measured to compare the laxative potency of these herbal prescriptions. Daeseunggitang and Jowiseunggitang more potently stimulated the transportation of small and large intestine than Rhei Rhizoma alone. However, the small and large intestine transportation activities of Soseunggitang were similar to those of Rhei Rhizoma alone. Soseunggitang inhibited nitrite production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells and trypsin than the other Seunggitangs. The inhibitory activity of Jowiseunggitang was more potent on nitrite production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells than those of Daeseunggitang. These results suggest that Daeseunggitang can be used as a emergent purgative for patients with severe fever and constipation, Soseunggitang can be as a mild purgative for chronic constipation with inflammation and Jowiseunggitang can be as a potent purgative for patients for severe constipation and weak colitis.

To analyze scientifically the fundamental formulation theory and drug interaction on the purgative action of Chungpesagan-tang, which is one of the traditional Korean medical prescriptions that has been most frequently used for stroke, water extracts of herbal medicines with Rhei Rhizoma were administered into mice and the purgative action was measured. Water extracts of Raphani Semen or Cimicifugae Rhizoma with Rhei Rhizoma had more potent purgative activity than Rhei Rhizoma alone, although Raphani Semen alone displayed no purgative action. However, Platycodi Radix and Puerariae Radix inhibited the purgative action of Rhei Rhizoma. When Rhei Rhizoma with Raphani Semen or Cimicifugae Radix was extracted with water, sennoside A content in the water extract was increased. However, Puerariae Radix and Platycodi Radix decreased the content of sennoside A in the extracted water. The transforming rate of sennoside A of Rhei Rhizoma was inhibited by Puerariae Radix and Platycodi Radix. The transforming rate of sennoside A of Chungpesagan-tang to rheinan-throne by human intestinal microflora and its purgative activity were similar to those of Rhei Rhizoma. Finally we thought that the purgative action of Chungpesagan-tang could be controlled by the addition and subtraction of Chungpesagan-tang-composing herbal medicines.

Herbal medicinal interaction on the purgative action of Chungpesagan-tang, which is one of the traditional Korean medical prescriptions that has been most frequently used for stroke was investigated. Chungpesagan-tang had more potent purgative activity than Rhei Rhizoma alone. When each Chungpesagan-tang composing herbal medicine with Rhei Rhizoma was extracted with water, water extract of Raphani Semen with Rhei Rhizoma had the most potent purgative activity. However, Raphani Semen had not purgative activity. When Rhei Rhizoma with Raphani Semen was extracted, sennoside A content in the water extract was increased. The transformation of sennoside A of Rhei Rhizoma to rheinanthrone by human intestinal microflora was weakly induced by Raphani Semen. These results suggest that the purgative action of Chungpesagan-tang could be controlled by the addition and subtraction of Chungpesagan-tang-composing herbal medicines.

The purgative activities of Whangryunhaedoktang (WT), Chunghyuldan (CD) and Rhei Rhizoma were measured to choose herbal formulae available for stroke patients suffering from constipation. When the laxative activity of Rhei Rhizoma and CD (the same dose as Rhei Rhizoma) compared, Rhei Rhizoma was more potent than CD. WT contained Gardeniae Fructus, which has been used as a laxative, as a ingredient. Nevertheless, WT did not show the purgative activity. WT and CD did not stimulate the transportation of small intestine. However, CD weakly stimulated the transportation of large intestine than Rhei Rhizoma. Accordingly, we believe that CD can be used as a useful purgative for stroke patients with constipation.

Objectives: This study was conducted to analyze scientifically the purgative action of Chungpesagan-tang, which was widely used for stroke In Oriental Medicine. Methods: The contents of sennoside A on the water-extraction of Rhei Rhizoma, the transforming activity of sennoside A to rheinanthrone by human intestinal bacteria, and the anti-costive activity of Chungpesagan-tang, Rhei Rhizoma and Yuldahanso-tang on mice were investigated. Results: Rhei Rhizoma (Rheum palmatum, from China) had dose-dependent potent purgative action. Chungpesagan-tang containing this Rhei Rhizoma had more potent purgative action than Rhei Rhizoma only. However, Korean cultivated Rhei Rhizoma (Rheum undulatum) and Chungpesagan-tang containing this Korean cultivated Rhei Rhizoma had no purgative action. Conclusions: These results suggest that Chungpesagan-tang polyprescription should be considered to enhance the purgative action of Rhei Rhizoma.

Objectives : This study was designed to report the effect of Jawon(Ziuan)'s purgative action for insomnia. Methods : A 60 year-old male patient has been suffered from insomnia for 2 years and has been on taking sleeping tablets during about a year and a half. We administered Sihogayonggolmoryeo-tang because we thougt that the disease was So-Yang-Bing Li Jeung. And Jawon was added for quick improvement. Results : 1. The score of PSQI(Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) decreased from 18 to 16 after the patient tooks Sihogayonggolmoryeo-tang. 2. After 23 days, the patient tooks Sihogayonggolmoryeo-tang with Jawon at the same time. With the purgative action with Jawon appearing, the score of PSQI decreased from 16 to 4 extremely and accompanying symptoms were also improved. Conclusions : In this case, for the patient taking Sihogayonggolmoryeo-tang with Jawon at the same time is far more effective than only doing Sihogayonggolmoryeo-tang. The result was more improved with appearing the effect of purgative action.

We have examined the purgative effect of three Jechun-jun formulas in sprague dawley(SD) rat. Three jechun-jun formulas were Jechun-jun(Sample I ) and augmented Jechun-jun(Sample II) and augmented Jechun-jun add rhubarb(sample III ). We examined the amount and the humidity of feces in rat. The experimental animals were devided into four groups. as control group and three Jechun-jun (sample I, II, III). We administerd the water extract of sample I, II, III to rat per oral for 8days long. After every 24hours measured the amount of wet feces from rats in metabolic cage. Humidity rate of feces from rat was at first measure wet feces for 24hours (W) and measure dried feces (W1) and then we consider W-W1 as humidity. High humidity rate means constipation changes into moistening stool. The amount of wet feces and humidity rate of feces in rats were increased in sample I, II, III. Sample I has highest humidity rate of feces. so showed strong moistening effect. Sample II has mild effect in treating constipation. sample III has most amount of wet feces. in conclusion Jechun-jun has an effect of moistening stool. and augmented Jechun-jun add rhubarb has strong purgative effect.

Generally, clause 273 of Shanghan-lun was called as a principle of Taeeum-byung and was regarded that it contains essential substances of Taeeum-byung. In this study, I compared the text of diverse woodblock-printed versions, the opinions of many annotators, and other clauses of Shanghan-lun which related with clause 273 in pathologic view points. As results, "the symptoms become worsen by purgative medicine" of remained version is more reasonable rather than "diarrhea become worsen" of Song version, in the side of pathologic interpretation of Taeeum-byung and to understand the reason of mistreatment. In addition, the symptoms of "an intermittent and autonomous abdominal cramp" and "feeling hard on sub-chest region" should be recognized as transformed symptoms by mistreatment of purgative medicine. Thus, diarrhea cannot be accepted as a peculiar symptom of Taeeum-byung, but should be regarded as a possible symptom transformed from Taeeum-byung or its preceding diseases by purgative medicine.

이제마는 사상의학의 생리, 병리를 설명함에 있어서 상한론을 많이 인용하였는데 치법에 있어서는 상한론의 것과 일치하지 않으며 특히 소음인편에서는 상한론의 한법이나 하법에 대해서 많은 비판을 가하고 있다. 이에 동의수세보원 소음인편에 나타난 상한론 인용문과 동무의 의론을 한법과 하법을 위주로 비교하여 본 결과 사상의학과 상한론은 공통적인 사기의 개념과 병증구성상의 표리구조를 가지고 있었으며, 한과 하의 개념에 있어서도 별다른 차이가 없었다. 그러나 치료법에 있어서 사상의학에서는 소음인에 대하여 승양이 안되는 체질상의 부족을 보충하는 승양익기법을 중요시하여 상한론과 차이가 남을 알 수 있었다.

We have conducted to characterize the physico-chemical change and pharmacological transformation of traditional herbal medicines by means of processing. Processed Gardeniae Fructus was prepared by heating of fruit of Gardenia jasminoides(GF) for $30{\sim}50\;minute$ in the roster designed for herb processing. The contents of drying loss, water extract, diluted ethanol extract, ether extract and geniposide in non-processed GF and processed GF were examined. The contents of drying loss, water extract and geniposide in processed GF showed a decrease as compared with those of non-processed GF, however the contents of dilute ethanol and ether extract showed a increase as compared with those of non-processed GF. The rate of decrease/increase of those index were in proportion to heating time. And, biological activities of methanol extract of non-processed GF and processed GF were investigated. DPPH scavenging effects and inhibitory effect of xanthine oxidate and hemolysis of processed GF exhibited more effective than those of non-processed GF in vitro. Accelerating effect of large intestinal transport and purgative action of non- processed GF were discriminated by processing of GF. Methanol extracts of non-pro- cessed GF and processed GF showed the protective effects against the hepatotoxicity induced by ${\alpha}-naphthylisothiocyanate$ in rats. These results suggested that the transformation of biological activities of GF by means of processing may be due to the physico-chemical change of the constituents in GF by heating.
