Abnormal thyroid cell proliferation has a very important role in hypothyroidism. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates proliferation and maintains differentiated function in thyroid follicular cells. A functioning rat thyroid cell line (FRTL) was used to study the effect of Gamgung-tang (GGT, Glycyrrhizae Radix, black beans, Angelicae Radix and Cnidii Rhizoma) on proliferation and cAMP accumulation of thyrocytes. Proliferation of cell was assessed by DNA synthesis and incorporation of $[^3H]thymidine$ into DNA. The concentration of cAMP was measured simultaneously with growth assessment. Extract of GGT ($0.15{\sim}0.9\;mg/ml$ increased DNA synthesis in a dose-dependent manner. GGT at 0.6 (p<0.05) and 0.9 mg/ml (p<0.01) significantly increased $[^3H]thymidine$ incorporation. A comparable effect was observed with TSH. GGT also enhanced cAMP accumulation. These results indicate that GGT increases the proliferation of thyrocytes and may be considered a promising agent for the treatment of autoimmune thyroid disease.

Inflammatory cytokine, abundantly produced in Hashimoto's thyroiditis, induced Fas expression in normal thyrocytes. We determined that susceptibility to Fas-activated apoptosis could be influenced by inflammatory cytokine and investigated a potential role of Gamgung-tang (GGT, Glycyrrhizae Radix, black beans, Angelicae Radix and Cnidii Rhizoma) in the thyroid follicular cells. $IL-1\beta$ was able to induce Fas expression in normal thyrocytes. GGT inhibited $IL-1\beta-induced$ Fas expression. Thyroid follicular cells were found to undergo DNA fragmentation with the inflammatory cytokines. GGT inhibited DNA fragmentation in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that GGT inhibit Fas-mediated apoptosis in thyroid follicular cells, therefore, may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of autoimmune chronic thyroiditis.

Purpose: This experiment is designed to find out anti-oxidant effects of Samultang-Gami which was composed of Rehmanniae Radix(RR), Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Cnidii Rhizoma(CR), Paeoniae Radix(PR), Cortex Moutan Radicis, Hedyotis Diffusa(HD) and Caesalpinia Sappan on MEF cells. Methods: In vitro antioxidant effects were measured by MTT assay, DPPH assay, cell cycle analysis, AnnexinV-FITC/PI assay and DAPI staining using MEF cells treated with various concentrations of 70% ethanol extract of Samultang-Gami. Results: 1. In the scavenging for DPPH radical, the each treated groups of PR, CR and HD showed positive effects. RR and CR increased the viability of oxidative damaged MEF cells in a dose-dependent manner. 2. 70% ethanol extract of Samultang-Gami was shown best antioxidative effect in the concentration of $0.5mg/m{\ell}$. 3. The treatment of Samultang-Gami in oxidative damaged MEF cells didn't have any effect on cell cycle restoration. but it could lower late apoptosis rate a little and be observed the protection of nucleus. Conclusion: It can be concluded that Samultang-Gami, RR and CR have antioxidant effects on MEF cells.

본 연구는 상기생, 진피, 국화 및 맥문동 혼헙물이 혈관건강을 증진 시킬 수 있는 건강차를 개발하는데 기초 자료를 확보하고자 한다. 이에 따라 상기생, 진피, 국화 및 맥문동의 혼합 조성물이 농도별로 수축혈관에 미치는 영향과 농도에 따른 조성물이 세포생존율에 미치는 영향을 통해 안정성을 검증하였다. 조성물의 농도가 높을수록 혈관의 이완효과가 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 본 조성물이 혈관의 수축 이완에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 세포생존율이 대조군보다 높게 나타나 정상 간과 신장 세포의 성장에 유익한 경향을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 한약자원을 활용한 차별화된 건강차 개발의 기초자료이며, 개발된 차로 혈관 수축률 억제 기전연구가 이루어진다면 동양의 한약자원을 활용한 현대화된 분석법을 통해 융복합적 방법으로 건강차 개발에 기초자료로 제공하고자 한다.

Objective: This research reviews and investigates the trends in recent clinical studies of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in China. Method: We searched for clinical studies discussing Oriental medicine-based treatments for PKD in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database. Thirteen clinical articles published from 2001 to 2019 were analyzed. The search focused on the authors, publication year, type of study, purposes of study, method and duration of treatment, evaluation criteria, and results of the selected articles. Results: Of the articles from the database, 9 case series and 4 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were analyzed. Ten articles used herbal medicine; 4 used herbal medicine for external use. Gamigyejibokryeong-hwan was the most common herbal prescription. The most frequently used herb was Polia Sclerotium (茯苓), and Cnidii Rhizoma (川芎) was employed in all the external uses. All 13 studies confirmed the efficacy of Oriental medicine treatments. Conclusion: 1. Scientifically designed and more varied clinical studies are required to develop treatments for PKD. 2. The current study could be used as basic data in future clinical studies on treatment and further studies of PKD.

Objectives : The purpose of the study is to test the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of BPH, which is composed of Pini Densiflorae Nodi Lignum and Querci Acutissimae Fructus, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Cnidii Rhizoma, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Angelicae Tenuissimae Radix. Method : Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of BPH on Propionibacterium acnes, one of anaerobic bacteria species were evaluated by measuring the levels of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) elimination and lipid peroxidation. Result : When BPH was applied to CCD-986sk (Human normal fibroblast) to confirm the level of cytokine(tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-8), its level increased in proportion to that of BPH's concentration, which indicated dose-dependent relationship. Using the Disk diffusion to measure the bacterial growth inhibition zone varying BPH concentration, it was found that the antibacterial effect of BPH was less than that of erythromycin, the control group, but was higher than that of saline, and it increased with higher concentrations. In a liquid culture medium containing BPH, the growth rate of Propionibacterium acnes was decreased by more than 10% at 25% BPH. After adding P. acnes to THP-1 monocyte, and treated it with BPH, and measuring the concentration of TNF-a and IL-8, it was observed that the amount of TNF-alpha and IL-8 significantly decreased depending on the level of BPH concentration. The ability to eliminate DPPH increased with higher BPH concentration. The inhibition of lipid peroxidation was increased by BHT treatment in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion : Using Propionibacterium acnes, an anaerobic bacteria, we confirmed that BPH has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
