This research was performed to make functional papers by using the waste of herbal medicine such as Astragalus membranaceus, Angelica acutiloba, and Artemisia capillaris as additives, and to evaluate their physical and optical properties of the manufactured paper. The physical and optical properties were decreased with the increase of the amount of herbal medicine. Of those manufactured papers, the functional paper with Artemisia capillaris showed the dramatic decrease in its physical properties. Adding the herbal medicine waste as additives developed the aesthetic pattern on the surface of the manufactured paper. The paper showing the black pattern on white surface was most favored. Different patterns could be made by changing the size of fibers and the amount of wastes. There was odor emitted from the paper due to the herbal medicine waste, which make the paper to have a potential for the diverse purpose. The herbal medicine waste can be applied to replace weighting agents in the manufacturing process of paper or used for the fuctional additives, resulting in the reduce of the quantity of a pulp consumed. The paper with 10-20% Angelica acutiloba waste were thought to have the most excellent quality on the process point of view.

This study evaluated the in vitro effect of medicinal plant extracts on ruminal methanogenesis, four different groups of methanogens and ruminal fermentation characteristics. A fistulated Holstein cow was used as a donor of rumen fluid. Licorice and mugwort extracts (Glycyrrhiza uralensis and Artemisia capillaris, 0.5% and 1% of total substrate DM, respectively), previously used as folk remedies, were added to an in vitro fermentation incubated with buffered-rumen fluid. Total gas production in Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract treatment was not significantly different between treatments (p<0.05) while total gas production in the Artemisia capillaris extract treatment was lower than that of the control. Artemisia capillaris extract and Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract reduced $CH_4$ emission by 14% (p<0.05) and 8% (p<0.05), respectively. Ciliate-associated methanogens population decreased by 18% in the medicinal plant extracts treatments. Medicinal plant extracts also affected the order Methanobacteriales community. Methanobacteriales diversity decreased by 35% in the Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract treatment and 30% in the Artemisia capillaris extract treatment. The order Methanomicrobiales population decreased by 50% in the 0.5% of Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract treatment. These findings demonstrate that medicinal plant extracts have the potential to inhibit in vitro ruminal methanogenesis.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of sulfate ion concentration in nutrient solution on the growth and qualify of Mongolian wormwood (Artemisia mongolica var. tenuifolia). Sulfate ion concentration was treated 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3mM using the modified nutrient solution composition for herb plants developed by European Vegetable R & D Center in Belgium. The growth of Mongolian wormwood was good at 3mM treatment and dry weight was best at 3mM treatment, Chlorophyll content increased with sulfate ion concentration. Mineral content did not show any significant difference among treatments. But Ca content in tissue markedly decreased at 3mM treatment. Sulfate ion uptake increased in proportion to sulfate ion concentration in nutreint solution, the higher sulfate ion concentration, the more uptake of sulfate ion by plant. At 1mM sulfate ion treatment, essential oil content was best, but the higher sulfate ion concentration resulted in decrease of essential oil content.

Han In-jin (Artemisia iwayomogi Kitamura) and Cham Dang-gwi (Angelica gigas Nakai) exhibit antibacterial, antiparasitic, antifungal, and antiviral properties in vitro. In this study, mixture of the extracts of these two medicinal plants was absorbed on pellets. Thereafter, these pellets were fed to olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus for 12 weeks at laboratory (1^st experiment) and 24 weeks at field test (2^nd experiment), and the immune activity and disease resistance properties of the extracts were examined. It was observed that lysozyme activities of plasma, spleen, and kidney improved after 12 weeks. Furthermore, when the olive flounders were artificially infected with bacterial pathogens, their cumulative mortality decreased in the group that was fed the extracts for 12 weeks compared to that in control group, and the relative percent survival also improved. This study concluded that mixture of Han In-jin and Cham Dang-gwi extracts provides disease resistance in vivo.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential mechanism of Artemisia capillaris Thunb. for psoriasis vulgaris. Methods : We conducted the network pharmacological analysis. It contains the process that search the compounds of the herb, the target proteins of the compounds, related genes of psoariasis vulgaris and the pathway/terms of the common protein lists between psoriasis vulgaris and Artemisia capillaris Thunb.. Results : 13 compounds and 30 protein targets of Artemisia Capillaris Herba were searched. And 997 psoriasis-related genes were searched. The common proteins were 11, and the core genes were 3; AKT1, CASP3, MAPK8. The related pathway/terms of 11 proteins were analyzed. ω-hydroxylase P450 pathway(60%), nitric oxide(NO) biosynthetic process(20%) were resulted. Also, 19 proteins of Artemisia Capillaris Herba were analyzed, and sterol homeostasis(78.95%), sterol biosynthetic process(15.79%), Type 2 diabetes mellitus(5.26%) were resulted. Conclusion : The Artemisia Capillaris Herba can potentially act through the ω-hydroxylase P450 pathway and nitric oxide(NO) biosynthetic process for psoriasis. Also, the metabolism of sterol biosynthesis and homeostasis can be involved in a roundabout way for psoriasis.

In this study we investigated the effect of vaccine efficacy and immune activities by feeding additives several natural herbal remedies extracts of Sweet Wormwood (Artemisia annua), Galla Rhois, Oriental raisin tree (Havenia Dulicis) and 6-mixed herb to Oilve flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. Each group of fish fed with the herbal remedies added feed and basic formula during the seven weeks and vaccinated with Edwardsiella tarda Formalin killed vaccine after 4 weeks feeding. Relative Percentage Survival values (RPS) in the group was assessed by the challenge with E.tarda. All groups with the herbal remedies added feed enhanced growth rate, but there were not significantly different in lysozyme activity and agglutination titer. In a challenge experiment with E.tarda, RPS in the all groups feeding additives natural herbal remedies was higher than that of the control group. These results suggest that the natural herbal remedies extracts of Sweet Wormwood (Artemisia annua), Galla Rhois, Oriental raisin tree (Havenia Dulicis) and 6-mixed herb would be effective to enhance efficacy of vaccination to Olive flounder.

Protective effect of DA-9601, an extract of Artemisia Herb, against ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury was evaluated in rats. In the prophylactic study, DA-9601 exhibited total protection (99.4%) against absolute ethanol-induced gastropathy, And the protective effect of DA-9601 lasted up to 2 hours, which was longer than those of other contemporary mucoprotectants. In the treatment study, DA-9601 significantly facilitated the healing of 70% ethanol-induced mucosal damage, which was superior to cetraxate, a commonly used anti-ulcer drug. The mechanisms of mucoprotection of DA-9601 were also assessed. DA-9601 increased the release of prostaglandin E$_2$ from murine neutrophils in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. The cytoprotective effect of DA-9601 against ethanol-induced mucosal damage was significantly diminished by the concommitant injection of N$\omega$-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 5 mg/kg, i.v.), a non-specific nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, while it was not affected by preinjection of indomethacin (5 mg/kg, s.c.), a prostaglandins-depletor. And it was found that DA-9601 significantly enhanced adaptive cytoprotective action of 10% ethanol against absolute ethanol (56.9$\pm$6.5 vs 23.0$\pm$3.3 mm$^2$, p<0.05, mean$\pm$SEM), though its exact underlying mechanism remains to be clarified. The present fin[lings demonstrate that DA-9601 exerts gastroprotecticv actions for the stomach against ethanol through several different underlying mechanisms, in which prostanglandins and NO are involved. In conclusion, the results obtained suggest that DA-9601 can be useful both in prevention and treatment of ethanol-induced gastric damage.

The Artemisia capillaris THUNB is a perennial herb that belongs to the family Compositae spp. and probably the most common plant among the various herbal folk remedies being used in the treatment of abdominal pain, hepatitis, chronic liver disease, jaundice and coughing in Korea. This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of Artemisia capillaris extracts on the amounts of splenocytes-derived cytokine ($TNF-{\alpha},\;IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-10). In in vivo experimental tests using 210 ICR mice with Hepa-1c1c7 or sarcoma 180 cancer line, splenocytes derived cytokine contents were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in the Hepa-1c1c7 and Sarcoma 180 inoculated vehicle controls, HP and SP, compared to those of the intact vehicle control on both the $28^{th}$ day and the $42^{nd}$ day, respectively. However, these decreases of $TNF-{\alpha},\;IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-10 levels induced by tumor inoculations were significantly (p < 0.01, p < 0.05) inhibited by mACH (Artemisia capillaris methanol extracts) treatment regardless of the type of experiments and tumor cells inoculated. The results suggest that Artemisia capillaris methanol extracts have prominent anti-inflammation effects on the cancer cell lines Hepa-1c1c7 and Sarcoma 180.

The airborne pollens were investigated by Durhan's pollen trap in Mt. Kwanak from March 1, 1984 to February 28, 1985. The observed airborn pollens were identified 22 families and 49 genera, which were divided into 27 tree pollens. Most airborne pollens were found from late-March to late-September and a few from early-November to late-February, 1985. The first observed pollen of the year was Alnus on March 5 and the last was Artemisia on Decomber 19, 1984. The maximum amount of daily airborne pollens was 823 grains/cm2 on May 16. Peak day and the maximum amount of major airborne pollens were as follows; 166 grains/cm2/day of Alnus pollen on April 4, 38 gr. of Populus on April. 13, 22 gr. of Quercus on May 10, 791 gr. of Pinus on May 26, 139 gr. on May 26 and 104 gr. of Graminae on September 6, 24 gr. of Ambrosia on Sep. 10 and 236 gr. on May 26 and 104 gr. of Graminae on September 6, 24 gr. of Ambrosia airborne pollen for one year was 12,733 grains/cm2 which were composed of 61% tree pollens and 39% herb ones. Decreasing order of pollen counts was Pinus, Alnus, Quercus and Populus in trees, and Graiminae, Artemisia and Ambrosia in herbs. Most of the airborn pollens were deposited in the day-time and a few at night, the maximum at 2∼4p.m.and the mininum at 8∼10 p.m.
