BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a corn silk extract on improving benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MATERIALS/METHODS: The experimental animals, 6-week-old male Wistar rats, were divided into sham-operated control (Sham) and experimental groups. The experimental group, which underwent orchiectomy and received subcutaneous injection of 10 mg/kg of testosterone propionate to induce BPH, was divided into a Testo Only group that received only testosterone, a Testo+Fina group that received testosterone and 5 mg/kg finasteride, a Testo+CSE10 group that received testosterone and 10 mg/kg of corn silk extract, and a Testo+CSE100 group that received testosterone and 100 mg/kg of corn silk extract. Prostate weight and concentrations of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), $5{\alpha}$- reductase $2(5{\alpha}-R2)$, and prostate specific antigen (PSA) in serum or prostate tissue were determined. The mRNA expressions of $(5{\alpha}-R2)$ and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in prostate tissue were also measured. RESULTS: Compared to the Sham group, prostate weight was significantly higher in the Testo Only group and decreased significantly in the Testo+Fina, Testo+CSE10, and Testo+CSE100 groups (P < 0.05), results that were consistent with those for serum DHT concentrations. The concentrations of $(5{\alpha}-R2)$ in serum and prostate as well as the mRNA expression of $(5{\alpha}-R2)$ in prostate were significantly lower in the Testo+Fina, Testo+CSE10, and Testo+CSE100 groups than that in the Testo Only group (P < 0.05). Similarly, the concentrations of PSA in serum and prostate were significantly lower in the Testo+Fina, Testo+CSE10, and Testo+CSE100 groups (P < 0.05) than in the Testo Only group. The mRNA expression of PCNA in prostate dose-independently decreased in the Testo+CSE-treated groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: BPH was induced through injection of testosterone, and corn silk extract treatment improved BPH symptoms by inhibiting the mRNA expression of $(5{\alpha}-R2)$ and decreasing the amount of $(5{\alpha}-R2)$, DHT, and PSA in serum and prostate tissue.

본 연구는 옥수수 수염 추출물을 핵물질로 사용하였고 피복물질로는 maltodextrin (MD), cyclodextrin (CD), MD와 CD를 1:1(w/w)로 혼합한(MD+CD) 세 가지 피복물질을 이용하여 미세캡슐화 하였을 때 흡습제어, DPPH radical 소거능(DRSA), hydroxyl radical 소거능(HRSA) 및 tyrosinase 저해활성(TIA)의 향상 정도를 비교 분석하였다. 대조구의 WAI 값은 0.68로 가장 높은 지수를 보였으며 처리구의 경우는 MD+CD 처리구가 0.20으로 가장 낮게 나타내었다. 이러한 현상은 피복물질에 의한 유리전이온도 상승과 같은 수분함량에서의 수분활성도 증가에 기인되기 때문이다. WSI에서는 대조구가 72.23%로 가장 낮은 지수를 나타내었으며 CD 처리구가 95.23%로 가장 높은 지수를 나타내었으며 피복물질의 수분용해도 및 미세캡슐화 과정에서의 입자크기감소가 주요원인이다. DRSA의 경우 대조구는 18.60%로 가장 낮았으며 CD 처리구에서는 89.25%이었고 HRSA는 대조구의 경우 16.89%인 반면 MD+CD 처리구는 47.64%로 나타났다. TIA에서는 대조구는 7.16%로 낮은 활성을 보인 반면 MD 처리구가 40.42%로 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 이와 같은 생리활성도 향상은 수분용해도와 비표면적 증가에 기인되었기 때문이다. 모든 분석 치에서 대조구와 처리구간에 유의성차이를 보였다(p<0.05).

As the consumption of corn increases, the production of by-products is also increasing. In this study, functional substances and antioxidant activities of corn by-products were investigated to determine their applicability as functional materials. Total polyphenol, flavonoid contents, and ABTS antioxidant activity were the highest in leaves. The total phenolic acid content was the highest in cobs; p-coumaric and ferulic acid were the main components. Phytosterol content in leaves and stems was high at 64 and 50 days after sowing, 261.4 and 274.7 mg/100 g, respectively. β-sitosterol of the leaves and stems was the highest, 149.2 and 138.7 mg/100 g. The total phytosterol content of grains and by-products harvested 106 days after sowing was in the order of: corn silk, husk, grain, leaf, stem, and cob. Among the phytosterols, β-sitosterol was the highest, followed by stigmasterol and campesterol, and the composition was different depending on part. The total phytosterol content was the highest in husk and corn silk, but the stems and leaves, which account for 50% of the total corn biomass, also contained high phytosterol content. Therefore, corn leaves and stems are expected to be used as functional raw materials for the development of functional materials in the future.

This experiment was conducted in 1992 and 1993 at the forage experimental field, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Seoul National University, Suweon to determine timing of rye(Secde cemde L.) harvest and residue chemical treatment prior to tillage in minimizing the adverse effects of the rye residue on growth and yield of succeeding corn(Zea muys L.). Eight treatments were established in 1993 which included four treatments such as no paraquat (1, l'diiethyl- 4, 4'-bipyridinium dichloride), paraquat treatment at 10, 23, and both 23 and 10 days prior to tillage when rye was harvested on April 14, and another four treatments such as no paraquat, paraquat treatment at 1, 5 and 10 days prior to tillage when rye was harvested on April 26. No paraquat treatment significantly resulted in reductions in corn plant height on June 3 and 10 when rye was harvested on April 14, but differences in the plant height and leaf number of corn among treatments were generally nonsignificant. Corn LA1 and silk emergence were not affected by paraquat treatment times regardless of rye harvested dates, but silk emergence was delayed by 1 to 2 days with no paraquat when rye harvested on April 14. Corn dry matter and TDN yields were significantly increased by paraquat treatment at 10 and 5 days prior to tillage treatment when rye was harvested on April 14 and 26, respectively, but other agronomic characteristics such as dry matter percentage, ear percent to total dry matter, and stover and ear yields of corn at harvest showed little or no response to paraquat treatment times.

No-tillage silage corn with legume hairy vetch(Vicia villosa Roth, HV) has renewed interest in supply of mineral N, soil erosion control at sloping land and weed control by cover of HV killed. This study was conducted to monitor concentration of soil mineral N ($NO_3^-$ -N + $NH_4^+$-N) and to find out variation of growth, yield and N uptake of silage corn according to quantity of HV cover; HV-removed, 1X-HV, 2X-HV at field of Crop Experiment Station in 1996. HV groM in early spring decreased the mineral N of soil depth 7.5 -22cm before corn seeding. But, killed HV cover increased the concentration of soil mineral N at surface soil (0-7.5cm) up to 45.4mglkg at early growth stage of corn. Dry matter(Dh4) of corn at harvest was lower in W-removed than in Okg FNlha. But DM and N uptake of corn at harvest were increased by quantity of HV-cover increasing liom HV-removed to 2X-HV. Hairy vetch could substitute N fertilizer for silage corn by N mineralized h m HV killed, but reduced early growth and N uptake of corn before silk by reducing soil mineral N of plow layer.

The Purpose of this study is to analyze the clothing excavated in Xinjinag, concerned with the study of clothing culture in Central Asia. The results are as follows : A headwear is a corn hat or round hat, the material is field, fur or woolen textiles. For hair accessories, feathers or wooden pins were used. The corn hats of the Scythians and the Huns also had same design and did not change even after being influenced from the culture of Han Dynasty. A woman's hair styles was many strips of braid, a man's hair style was a braid or a topknot. Regarding the clothing, a woman wore pull-over type and a man wore caftan for a jacket. Both a man and a woman wore widened coat and trousers as well as felt socks and leather boots, and longer socks than boots are the characteristics of the clothing of nomadic horsemen. The textiles was mainly wool, but silk was used for coats, socks and gloves in high society imported from China through the Silk Road after the 2nd century B.C. Compared with Korea clothing, a corn hat, widened coat, trousers and leather boots are similar with those of Koguryo. The influence of western culture is shown in a man's short hair, animal design, W1-Kum, a woman's pull-over type and a round neckline.

This study was conducted to evaluate the synergistic protective effects of mixtures of corn silk, perilla leaf and grape stem extract (CPG mixture) against UVB-induced skin damage and compound 48/80-induced pruritus in mice. The results showed that treatment with CPG mixture exhibited much stronger suppressive effect on erythema and melanin index as well as melanin formation than treatment with ascorbic acid (AA) in UVB-irradiated mice. Moreover, the treatment with CPG mixture showed ameliorative effect on immune cell infiltration and collagen fiber destruction in UV-irradiated mice. The treatment with CPG mixture inhibited glutathione (GSH) depletion, lipid peroxidation and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in UVB-irradiated mice. Furthermore, the treatment with CPG mixture inhibited compound 48/80-induced scratching behavior and histological changes in mice. Taken together, these results indicated that CPG mixture has potentials as functional and therapeutic materials against skin damage and itch-related skin diseases.

한약재의 재료로 사용되는 옥발에서 항응고물질(anticoagulant)을 추출하여 정제하였다. 정제된 항응고물질의 분자량은 135 kDa으로 측정되었고 옥발로부터 정제된 항응고물질의 회수율은 11%이고, 24배 농축되었다. 옥발의 항응고물질은 열에 안정하고 비특이적 단백질 가수분해 효소 처리 후에도 활성을 유지하였으나, periodate 산화 처리시 현저하게 활성이 소실되어 항응고물질의 성분은 당류인 것으로 추정된다. 옥발의 항응고물질을 thin layer chromatography(TLC)와 Bio-LC로 구성당을 분석한 결과 galactose, glucose, mannose, glucosamine, galactosamine, fucose로 구성되어있고, IR을 통하여 확인된 OH, N-H bond가 확인되어 항응고물질이 중성당과 아미노당으로 구성된 것을 뒷받침해주고 있다. 옥발의 항응고물질은 thrombin time(TT)에 가장 민감하고, TT에서 항응고 활성을 2배, 3배 지연시키는 농도는 60 nM와 88 nM이었다. Prothrombin time(PT)에도 민감하였지만, snake venom activity와 activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)의 clotting activity에는 상대적으로 별 영향을 끼치지 않았다. 옥발의 항응고물질을 정제된 fibrinogen을 이용하여 thrombin과의 반응 시 fibrinogen의 농도가 증가함에 따라 응고 저해 정도가 감소하여 thrombin에 대해fibrinogen과 결합자리를 경쟁하고, 이 때 Ki 값은 23 nM이다.
