This study was carried out to investigate the effects of diet of Korean safflower(Carthamus tinctorious L.) seed powder on bone tissue during the recovery of rib-fracture in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats of 10 weeks old, weighing 370$\pm$5g, were divided into two groups including the control group(C group, AIN-76 semipurified diet) and safflower seed group(S group, AIN-76 semipurified diet+10% safflower seed powder) and were fed experimental diets for 12 days after adaptation period. After this period, the 9th right rib was fractured surgically and sham-operation was also performed. Rats were fed with experimental diets for up to 30 more days after rib-fracture. The degree of bone repair was evaluated during the recovery period at the 8th, 11th, 16th, 21st, 30th days after the surgical operation by microscopic observation of the fractured rib tissue. In callus formation, the portion of hyaline cartilage was noticably higher in S group than C group. The intracatilagenous ossification was observed at the 8th day in S group, but at 11th day in C group. The intramembranous ossification in callus was widely found over the 8th day to the 11th day in S group, but it was shown over the 11th day to the 16th day in C group. Bone resorption was also occured more rapidly in S group as indicated by large numbers of osteoclasts observed. At the 30th day, most of trabecular bones were disappeared in S group, whereas still shwon in C group over wide ranges of fractured ribs. These results imply that the supplementation of Korean safflower seed powder influences in the recovery of bone fracture by accelerating the process of bone repair.

Magnoliae cortex has been used as a drug for treatment of fractures in Chinese medicine and safflower(Carthamus tinctorius $Linn{\acute{e}}$) has been traditionally used for treatment of blood stasis. The purpose of present study was to examine the biologic effects of magnoliae cortex extract and safflower extract mixture(MSM) on human periodontal ligament cells and fetal rat calvarial osteoblasts and on healing of rat calvarial defects. The ethanolic extracts of magnoliae cortex(MCE), safflower seed(SSE), Zea May L(ZML) were prepared as positive control group. MSM mixed to the ratios of 1 : 1, 1 : 2, 1 : 5 and 1 : 10 were used as test group. The effects of each agents on the growth and survival, ALPase activity, cell proliferation and tissue regenerative effect of each extracts was evaluated by histomorphometric measuring of newly formed bone on the 8 mm defect in rat calvaria after oral administration of 2 ratio groups(1 : 5 and 1 : 10) at 3 different doses (0.1, 0.25 and 0.5g/kg per day). MSM stimulated the growth and survival rate of osteoblasts and PDL cells more than any other agents. The growth and survival rate were increased as the proportion of safflower seed extract was increased. MCE, SSE, ZML stimulated the ALPase activity of osteoblast and PDL cell in comparison to the negative control group. But all groups of MSM regardless of ratio of safflower seed extract stimulated the ALPase activity than any other agent. The ALPase activity was also increased as the proportion of safflower seed extract was increased. Although MCE, SSE, ZML stimulated the proliferation of osteoblasts. 1 : 5 and 1 : 10 ratio MSM showed significant increase in stimulation of proliferation of osteoblasts. No agent significantly increased proliferation of PDL cells. Significant new bone formation were seen where 1 : 5 ratio, 0.5g/kg group and 1 : 10 ratio, 0.25, 0.5g/kg groups were used. These results show that magnoliae cortex extract and safflower seed extract mixture can potentially increase bone regeneration ability.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the sensory and mechanical characteristics, moisture content and color values of Hongwhasulgi by varying the quantity of Safflower seed powder and the types of sugar used. As a result of the quantitative analysis, it was found that as more Safflower seed powder was added to the non-glutinous rice powder, the tastiness, sweetness and coarseness of the resultant rice cake tasted almost the same as that of the raw seeds. When the quantity of the seed powder was the same, Hongwhasulgi with sugar added was moister than that with oligosaccharide, and as more seed powder was added, the rice cake became less chewy. The preference of flavor did not differ significantly among the samples. As a result of analyzing the texture, Hongwhasulgi with more Safflower seed power added and oligosaccharide used exhibited greater hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess and chewiness but lower cohesiveness, whereas springiness did not differ significantly among the samples. The moisture content of Hongwhasulgi ranged from $32.35{\sim}39.87%$. Hongwhasulgi with the sugar added was significantly moister than that with oligosaccharide added(p<0.05). Based on the above results, it is considered that the most desirable mix ratio for Hongwhasulgi is non-glutinous rice powder 190 g(95%), Safflower seed power 10 g(5%), sugar 20 g, salt 2 g, and water 35 mL.

홍화씨는 예로부터 국내에서 재배되어 한방 및 민간에서 특히 뼈에 우수한 작용이 있는 것으로 생각되어 오랫동안 복용되어 왔다. 최근 홍화씨를 성분분석한 바에 의하면 칼륨과 마그녜슘, 칼슘이 다량 함유되어 있어서 뼈의 발달과 유지에 도움이 있을 것이라고 추측된다. 그러나 아직까지 확실한 실험적 자료가 제시된 것은 별로 없다. 이에 저자들은 홍화씨 분말이 골다공증의 예방에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위하여 본 실험을 실시하였다. 실험동물은 체중 230g의 12주령의 Sprague-Dawley Rats를 사용하였으며, 양쪽난소를 제거한 후 홍화씨 분말을 매일 0.3g씩 복용시키면서 1, 3, 5 및 7주 후에 경골을 채취하여 관찰하였다. 채취된 조직은 통상적인 주사전자현미경 시료제작법으로 고정과정을 거친 후 10% 질산으로 12시간 탈회하여 뼈의 단면을 노출시키고 탈수, 건조 및 금도금 과정을 거쳐 주사전자현미경(Hitachi, S-450)으로 관찰하여 촬영하였다. 관찰결과 난소적출 후 골소실이 일어나기 시작하여 7주 후에 대조군은 골수강에서 피질골까지의 두께의 감소와 골수강의 확장이 심하였으나, 홍화씨 분말을 투여한 실험군에서는 1주에서 7주까지 거의 같은 소견을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면 홍화씨 분말은 여성호르몬 결핍으로 인한 골다공증의 예방에 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

홍화씨가 골절, 골다공증 및 골형성부전증 등의 골 질환 치료에 효과가 있다는 것이 알려져 민간요법으로 사용되고 있으나 홍화씨의 어떤 성분이 이러한 작용을 하는지에 관해서는 거의 밝혀져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 흥화씨의 sterol 조성을 분석하고 폐경기 여성들의 골다공증 치료에 사용되고 있는 합성 estrogen 대체물질로써 그 기능이 확인된 phytoestrogen 활성을 측정하였다. Cholesterol에서 성호르몬인 estrogen이 합성되는 것처럼 식물 sterol 도 phytoestrogen 합성을 위한 전구체 작용을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 홍화씨에 존재하는 식물성 sterol은 stigmast-5-en-3-ol (3$\beta$, 24S)-form인 ${\gamma}$-sitosterol (clionasterol)로 확인되었으며 홍화에 존재하는 식물성 sterol의 함량은 총지질의 약 4%를 함유하였다. 홍화씨의 sterol 분석은 GC-MS와 Wiley MS spectrum library를 사용하여 분석하였으며 홍화씨에 존재하는 중요한 4-desmethyl sterols 에는 sitosterol 만이 확인되었다. 홍화씨의 식물성 estrogen 효과는 $\beta$-estradiol ($10^{-8}$ M)의 활성을 1로 했을 때 홍화씨의 에탄을 층(5 mg/ml) 및 메탄올 층(5 mg/ml)에서 각각 0.37과 0.43으로 estrogen 유사효과를 나타내었다(ANOVA p<0.001). 홍화씨에 포함된 estrogen에 의한 전사활성 촉진은 MCF7/pDS-CAT-ERE119-Ad2MLP system을 사용하여 estrogen수용체와 reporter gene 발현을 이용하는 방법으로 세포에 직접 처리함으로써 phytoestrogen 활성을 측정할 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Korean safflower(Carthamus. tinctorious L.) seed powder supplementation on bone metabolism during the recovery of rib-fracture induced by surgical operation in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats of 10 weeks old, weighing 370$\pm$5g, were divided into two groups after arrival : the control group(C group, AIN-76 semifurified diet) and safflower seed group(S group, AIN-76 semifurified diet+10% safflower seed powder). They were fed experimental diets for 12 days before the rib fracture operation and for 30 more days after the operation. A number 9 rib was fractured surgically and sham-operation was also performed. After the rib-fracture operation, rats were sacrificed on the 8th, 11th, 16th, 21st, and 30th day, respectively. The body weights were decreased on the 8th day after operation in both groups but recovered gradually thereafter. The fractured sections of the S group were more strongly adhered and more rapidly repaired than those of C group. Effects of safflower seed powder supplementation on indices of bone metabolism during the repairing of rib-fracture can be summarized as following. There were no differences between C and S group. In the levels of PTH and calcitonin, which regulate the concentration of plasma calcium. However, PTH level on the 8th day was significantly higher than that on the 16th day in control group. There were also no differences between groups or within groups in the levels of calcitonin. Osteocalcin levels, one of the bone-formation indices, were similar in two groups. Activities of total-ALP in plasma were highest at the 8th day in both groups and decreased thereafter, except on the 30th day in control group. The activities of bone-specific ALP that is directly related to bone calcification, showed higher levels in the S group than in the C group throughout the experimental period. They were significantly increased in the S group on the 11th, 16th, and 21st days. In comparisons of plasma calcium and phosphate levels, Ca levels were tended to be lower in the S group than in the C group and P levels showed the opposite trend. It seems that the fractured ribs were more rapidly repaired in rats supplemented with safflower seed powder than in control rats, possibly due to stimulation of bone calcification from increased activity of bone-specific ALP.

A study was carried out to investigate the effects of safflower seed powder on the improvement of lipid metabolism in high fat and high cholesterol fed rats. Male Sprague Dawley rats of 10 weeks old, weighing 325$\pm$5g, were divided into two groups; the control group(C group, high fat(10% lard) and high cholesterol(1% cholesterol)) and safflower seed group(S group, 10% safflower seed powder), they were fed experimental diets for 6 weeks. Food intake, body weight gains and organ weight had little differences between the groups. Concentration of lipoprotein in serum was remarkably lower in S group than in C group. Serum cholesterol levels were significantly lower in S group(72.94$\pm$4.08 mg/dl) than in C group(89.41$\pm$4.19mg/dl). The level of serum HDL cholesterol was higher in S group than in C group. The level of serum LDL C was significantly lower in S group than in C group. The ratio of HDL cholesterol to total cholesterol were higher in the S group than in the C group, too. The value of atherogenic index(AI) was determined to be low in S group. The content of liver triglyceride and cholesterol in the S group was lower than that of C group. ACAT activities which involves in cholesterol esterification in liver, was not significantly different between two groups.
