Traditional medicines usually use combinational formula that is prepared by mixing different varieties of medicinal herbs and boiling them in water to yield a decoction. In recent years a modified method has been proposed and practiced wherein the individual herbs are boiled with water separately and later these extracts are mixed together for use. This practice has lead to a constant controversy concerning the chemical and biological equivalence between the preparations arriving out of these two methodologies. In this research, we attempted to study the effects of traditional and individual preparation of Ssanghwa-tang (ST) to evaluate their equivalence in terms of its antioxidant activity and polyphenol content. The study results indicate that the polyphenol contents as well as the extraction yields of these two preparations were very similar to each other.

Ssanghwa-tang (SHT) is a traditional Korean herbal medicine widely prescribed to decrease fatigue following an illness. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of SHT on osteoclast differentiation in vitro, and on bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) rats in vivo. SHT significantly reduced the receptor activator for the nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$) ligand (RANKL)-induced tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity, and multinucleated osteoclast formation in RAW264.7 cells without affecting cell viability. In addition, SHT significantly attenuated RANKL-induced mRNA expression levels of c-Src and cathepsin K. To examine the in vivo effect of SHT on OVX-induced bone loss in OVX rats, we administered SHT (0.6 g/kg BID) orally to OVX rats for 12 weeks. SHT administration significantly blocked OVX-induced decrease of femoral bone mineral density (BMD) and femoral trabeculae in OVX rats. In conclusion, these results suggest that SHT treatment effectively prevents OVX-induced bone loss, and this effect may result from its inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation.

Objectives: Ssanghwa-tang (SHT) is a traditional herbal formula comprising nine medicinal herbs, and it is used for reducing fatigue in Korea. SHT exerts various effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-aging activities, and protection against acute hepatotoxicity. However, the genotoxicity of SHT has not yet been established. Methods: Ten components were identified in SHT water extract by using high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. We assessed the genotoxicity of SHT by using bacterial reverse mutation (Ames test), chromosome aberration, and in vivo micronucleus tests. Results: The contents of paeoniflorin, glycyrrhizin, and liquiritin apioside in SHT were 15.57, 6.94, and 3.48 mg/g extract, respectively. SHT did not increase the revertant colonies of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli strains in the presence or absence of metabolic activity. Although SHT did not induce structurally abnormal chromosomes in Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells in the presence of metabolic activity, the number of structurally aberrated chromosomes increased dose-dependently in the absence of metabolic activity. In the in vivo micronucleus test, SHT did not affect the formation of micronuclei compared with the vehicle control. Conclusions: Genotoxicity of SHT was not observed in the Ames test and in vivo micronucleus test. However, based on the results of chromosome aberration test, it can be presumed that SHT has the potential to induce genotoxicity because it induced structurally abnormal chromosomes in the absence of metabolic activity.

Objectives : The present study was designed to investigate effects of Ssanghwa-tang (Shu$\bar{a}$nghu$\bar{a}$-g$\bar{e}$ng) on oxidation/reduction reaction-related and aging-related enzymes $in$ $vitro$. Methods : We performed MTT assay, collagenase inhibition assay, elastase inhibition assay, tyrosinase inhibition assay, DPPH free radical scavenging assay, SOD-like activity and xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibition assay. Results : The 50% ethanol (EtOH) extract of Ssanghwa-tang (SHT) showed 55% inhibition of collagenase activity, and 42% inhibition of elastase activity at 1 mg/ml concentration. Also it's treatment showed 18% inhibition of tyrosinase activity, to relate whitening effect, at the same dose of 50% ethanol extract of SHT. Antioxidant activities were determined by DPPH radical scavenging, XO inhibiting activity and SOD-like activity. These scavenging, XO-inhibiting and SOD-like activities were measured in 80%, 75%, and 28% inhibitions, respectively, at a 1 mg/ml treated dose, compared to those of control. The inhibitory effects of 50% EtOH extract on aging and oxidation-related enzyme activities were higher than those of water extract and 95% EtOH extract. Conclusions : Taken together, our findings suggest that the SHT has potential and applicable benefits for development of cosmetics to have anti-aging (anti-wrinkle and whitening) and anti-oxidation functions.

유통과정(流通過程)중의 품질안정성(品質安定性) 유지(維持)가 항상 문제시되고 있는 홍삼정분(紅蓼精粉)(동결(凍結) 및 분무(噴霧))의 안정성(安定性)을 시판차류정품(市販茶類精品)과 비교(比較)하기 위하여 이들 제품(製品)의 흡습특성(吸濕特性)을 비교(比較)하였고 또 초기수분함량(初期水分含臺), 조지방함량(粗脂肪含量) 및 밀도(密度)와의 관계(關係)를 조사(調査)하여 홍삼정립(紅蓼精粒)의 안정성(安定性) 미치는 영향(影響)을 비교(比較)하였다. (1) 홍삼정분(紅蔘精粉) 및 시판차류제품(市販茶類製品)의 입도(粒度)는 100 mesh 이하였으며 동결건조제품(凍結乾燥製品)이 분무건조제품(噴霧乾燥製品)보다 입도(粒度)가 컸다. (2) 홍삼정분(紅蓼精粉)(동결(凍結) 및 분무(噴霧))이 3.85% 및 4.56% 로 초기수분함량(初期水分舍量)이 높은데 비해 커피(동결(凍結) 및 분무(噴霧))가 2.17% 및 3.52%로 낮았으며 홍삼정분(紅蔘精粉)이 커피 보다 1.3$\sim$l.8배의 높은 초기수분함량(初期水分含量)을 나타냈다. (3) 탱이나 쌍화차가 흡습율(吸濕率)이 가장 낮아 높은 안정성(安定性)을 나타냈는데 이는 탱과 쌍화차의 지방함량(脂肪含量) (4.12% 및 0.62%)이 높을 뿐만 아니라 밀도(密度)(0.89g/ml 및 0.59g/ml)도 다른 제품(製品)에 비해 훨씬 높기 때문으로 판단된다. (4) 커피의 흡습율(吸濕率)이 홍삼정분(紅參精粒)보다 컸으나 커피의 안정성(安定性)이 홍삼정분(紅蔘精紛)보다 더 높은 것은 커피의 초기수분함량(初期水分含量) (2.17${\sim}$3.52%)이 홍삼정분(紅蓼精粉) (3.85${\sim}$4.56%)보다 낮을 뿐만 아니라 커피의 지방함량(脂肪含量)(0.31${\sim}$0.38%)도 홍삼정분(紅蔘精粉)(0.12${\sim}$0.16%) 보다 훨신 높기 때문으로 판단된다. (5) 따라서 홍삼정분(紅蓼精粉)의 안정성(安定性)을 높이기 위해서는 현행 물추출방벙(抽出方法)을 용매추축(溶媒抽出)로의 전환(轉換)이나 지방피막(脂肪皮膜) 처리(處理)에 의한 흡습물성(吸濕物性)을 개선(改善)함이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of Ssanghwa-tang (SHT) on lung injury and muscle loss in a COPD mouse model. Methods: C57BL/6 mice were challenged with cigarette smoke extract and lipopolysaccharide, and then treated with two concentrations of SHT (250 and 500 mg/kg). After sacrifice, the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) or lung tissue was analyzed by cytospin, ELISA, real-time PCR, flow cytometry analysis, and H&E and Masson's trichrome staining. The grip strength of COPD mice was measured using a grip strength meter. The running time of COPD mice was measured by a treadmill test. Muscle tissue of the quadriceps was stained with H&E and Masson's trichrome staining. Results: SHT significantly inhibited the increase in neutrophil numbers in BALF and significantly decreased immune cell activity in BALF and lung tissue. It also significantly inhibited the increase in TNF-α, IL-17, and MIP2 in BALF. Real-time PCR analysis revealed that the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-17, MIP2, and TRPV1 in lung tissue showed a significant decrease compared with the control group. Lung tissue damage was significantly reduced in the histological analysis. The grip strength and running time of the COPD mice showed a significant decrease compared with the control group. In histological staining, SHT was found to reduce the damage to muscle tissue. Conclusions: This study indicates that SHT can be used as a therapeutic agent for COPD patients by inhibiting lung injury and muscle loss.
