Objectives : Native to East Asia, Japan, and Korea, Cinnamomum japonicum Siebold (CJ) is renowned for its aromatic leaves and bark. We previously assessed the antioxidant activity of fractionated CJ branches (CJB:70% EtOH extract), including hexane (CJB1), chloroform (CJB2), ethyl acetate (CJB3), butanol (CJB4), and water (CJB5). Our findings revealed that CJB3 exhibited the highest antioxidant activity. Here, we aimed to investigate whether CJB3 possesses cytoprotective effects and induces the activity of antioxidant enzymes in hepatocytes. Methods : As HepG2 cells were the first to exhibit the key characteristics of hepatocytes, we investigated the hepatoprotective effects of CJB3 on HepG2 cells. Results : Before conducting the cell experiment, we checked that CJB3, up to a concentration of 100 ㎍/mL, did not exhibit cytotoxicity toward HepG2 cells. ROS production increased because of t-BHP treatment decreased in a concentration-dependent manner upon CJB3 treatment. We confirmed that CJB3 inhibited t-BHP-induced cell death. CJB3 was found to reverse the expression of proteins associated with t-BHP-induced apoptosis. We also observed that CJB3 induced Nrf2 phosphorylation and the nuclear translocation of Nrf2. And, CJB3 treatment caused a time-dependent enhancement of GCL and NQO1 protein expression. We further confirmed that CJB3 increased the expression of Nrf2 target genes, and this effect was associated with the activation of JNK, p38, and AMPK. Conclusion : CJB3 prevents t-BHP-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis and enhances the expression of Nrf2 target genes via JNK, p38, and AMPK activation. These results suggest that CJB3 is a promising candidate for the treatment of liver diseases.

This study was conducted to investigte the visual preference and response between introduced and native trees for utilization of the south native trees in interior space. 1. The intensity of illumination was below 500lux at 24 buildings of interior spaces surveyed. Generally the temperature was 24~$26^{\circ}C$, and humidity was 60~70%. 2. Total number of introduced tree species were 9 familiar, 16 genus, 18 species, especially palm genus were the largest tree among them at these surveyed interior spaces, but native trees were only 2 species. The introduced tree of 2 to 3m in height was 46 percent, and the case of 1.2 to 2m was 42 percent. 3. The mean of visual preference was the highest at Rhapis excelsa and howeia belmoreana, and followed with Neolitsea sericea, Daphniphllum macropodum, Listsea japonicum. In the mean of visual preference for selected tree groups, native tree was not different as compared with introduced tree. 4. Visual image factor of the native and introduced trees at interior spaces was classified by individual factor and emotional factor. These 2 factors were shown 66.5% total variance. The native tree was strongly recognized on individual factor, as , and introduced tree was also strongly recognized on emotional factor. 5. In the analysis of visual preference and image, a difference between the selected groups of the introduced and native trees were not shown significant, and the introduced trees were similar to the native trees on the visual image. This result was as follow There was an analogy between Cinnamomum camphora, Ligustrum japonicum and Ficus retusa, Ficus benjamina. There is an analogy between Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii, Cinnamomum japonicum and Ficus retusa, Ficus benjamina. There was an analogy between Elaeocarpus sylvestris var. ellipticus, Fatsia japonica and Rhapis excelsa, Howeia belmoreana. There was an analogy between Neolitsea sericea, Daphniphyllum macropo여, Listsea japonica and Rhapis excelsa, Howeia belmoreana. There was an analogy between Elaeocarpus sylvestris var. ellipticus, Fatsia japonica and Dracaena fragranse, Ficus elastica, Monstera deliciosa.

정도리 해안방풍림은 바다와 육지 사이에 위치하면서 육상 경작지나 어촌 마을을 보호하는 생태적 천이지역으로서 매우 중요한 곳이다. 정도리 방풍림 식생 중 해안가 갯돌밭 지역에서는 상동나무 망토군락을 이루며 그 안쪽에 광나무나 쥐똥나무가 아교목상으로 우점한다. 안쪽부분은 광나무-굴참나무군락, 광나무-덜꿩나무군락, 광나무-생달나무군락, 생달나무-개서나무군락 및 소나무-덜꿩나무군락으로 확인되었다. 정도리 방풍림은 교목층 평균수고는 10.3m, 평균흉고 직경은 30.3cm로 인공 숲이지만 자연림에 가까운 이차림으로 생태학적인 보전가치가 높다. 명송 3 호로 지정된 정도리 방풍림은 많은 방문객들로 안해 인위적인 간섭을 당할 가능성이 크다. 따라서 국립공원 관리공단에서는 정도랴 방풍림을 보전하기 위해 지속적인 유지관리를 해야 할 것이다. 그리고 정도리 구계등 갯돌의 문화적 가치와 숲의 자연성을 고려하여 장차 문화재청은 정도리 방풍림을 병승으로 뿐만 아니라 천연기념물로 지정하여 보전해야 할 것이다.

Leaf venation of 12 species of Lauraceae in Korea, native or introduced, was investigated and described by the use of Soft X-Ray. They could be grouped by the venation types, such as, 1. Actinodromous; Lindera obtusiloba, 2. Acrodromous; Cinnamomum camphora, C. japonicum, C. loureirii, 3. Brochidodromous having strongly developed basal secondary vein; Neolitsea aciculata, N. sericea, 4. Brochidodromous hoving irregulary branched secondary vein; Lindera erythrocarpa, L. glauca, 5. Brochidodromous having weak marginal loop; Machilus thunbergii, M.Japonica, 6. Brochidodromous having typical venation; Iozoste lancifolia, Litsea japonicum. This grouping corresponded with current classifying system at genus level except for genus Lindera, and supported Nakai's system at Tribe level. They also showed a gradual transition from brochidodromous to actinodromous types, but to certify the systematic value of this transition warrented more study. Identifying key for the species could be made by the venation type.

Of crude drugs having showed over 50% of inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation, at the concentration of $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, the inhibitory rates were 82.2% in Ganoderma japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd., 55% in Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., 50.8% in Gastrodia elata Bl., while at the concentration of $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, antithrombotic rates were 89.4% in Ganoderma japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd., 59.2% in Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., 57.9% in Thea sinensis, 52.7% in Gastrodia elata Bl.. These results suggest that the study sholuld be necessary on antithrombotic effect of solvent fractions of Ganoderma japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd., Panax ginseng C. A.

본 연구는 상록활엽수림의 합리적인 관리를 위한 기초정보를 제공하기 위하여 동백나무림 주변 산림군집에 대한 상록활엽수종의 치수발생량과 종자산포량을 분석하였다. 치수밀도와 비율의 경우, 동백나무림과 동백나무림 가장자리, 동백나무림내 해송아래, 편백림에서 발생하는 전체치수의 약 90%이상이 동백나무를 포함한 참식나무와 후박나무, 광나무, 생달나무, 까마귀쪽나무, 돈나무 등의 상록활엽수류가 차지하고 있었으며, 특히 참식나무, 후박나무, 광나무는 동백나무림에서 200 m 정도 떨어진 해송림과 낙엽활엽수림에까지 밀도는 낮지만 치수발생이 이루어지고 있어 상록활엽수림으로 천이가 시작되고 있었다. 흉고 직경급 분포에서 동백나무는 역J자형의 분포를 나타내고 있었고 후박나무, 참식나무, 광나무는 뚜렷한 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 동백나무 종자는 동백나무림 주변 50 m 이내에 주로 산포되고 있는 것으로 조사되었다.
