The proliferative effects of thirty Oriental medicinal herbs on MCF-7 (estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cell line) and ROS 17/2.8 osteoblast-like cells were determined using the MTT assay. Methanol extracts from several herbs was found to show proliferative activity on the above two cell lines in the range of 5 to 100 $\mu$g/mL. Among these active herbs, the methanol extract from the rhizomes of Drynaria fortunei showed the most potent proliferative activity, and the cell proliferations were significantly increase by 136 and 158% in the MCF-7 and ROS 17/2.8 cells, respectively, when treated with 100 $\mu$ g/mL. Through a bioassay-guided separation, eight flavonoids, including four new flavan-3-ols and two propelargonidins, together with the known (-)-epiafzelechin and naringin, were isolated. Their chemical structures were characterized as (-)-epiafzelechin (1), (-)-epiafzelechin-3-O-$\beta$-D-allopyranoside (2), (-)-epiafzelechin-3-O-(6"-O-acetyl)-$\beta$-D-allopyranoside (3), 4$\beta$-carboxymethyl-(-)-epiafzelechin methyl ester (4), 4$\beta$-car-boxymethyl-(-)-epiafzelechin sodium salt (5), naringin (6), (-)-epiafzelechin-(4$\beta$\rightarrow8)-4$\beta$-car-boxymethylepiafzelechin methyl ester (7) and (-)-epiafzelechin-($4\beta\rightarrow8, 2\beta\rightarrowΟ\rightarrow7)-epiafzelechin-(4\beta\righarrow8)-epiafzelechin (8) by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Most of these flavonoids, in the range of $10^{-15}∼10^{-6}$ M, accelerated the proliferation of MCF-7 cell, with compounds 7 and 8, in the range of $10^{-15}∼10^{-12}$ M, showing especially potent proliferation effects. Meanwhile, seven flavonoids, with the exception of compound 4, stimulated the proliferation of ROS 17/2.8 cells in the range of $10^{-15}∼10^{-6}$ M, with compounds 5-8 especially accelerating the proliferation, in dose-dependent manners ($10^{-15}∼10^{-9}$ M), and their proliferative effect was much stronger than that of $E_2$ and genistein. These results suggest that propelargonidin dimers and trimers isolated from the rhizomes of Drynaria fortunei may be useful as potential phytoestrogens, which play important physiological roles in the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Among aging diseases, the most basic problem is a decrease in bone mineral density. Patients with osteoporosis are steadily increasing in the world. This study was investigated to show the relationship between osteoporotic effects and oxidative damage. Water extracts of 15 medicinal plants and ethanol extracts of 14 medicinal plants with known anti-osteoporotic effects, were tested for their radical scavenging activity using DPPH, ABTS, SRSA and FRAP assay. Water extract of Cornus officinalis, Rubus coreanus and ethanol extract of Rubus coreanus, Viscium album var. coloratum, Cimicifuga heracleifolia showed about 15-20 mg/g of total phenolic contents. Water extract of Cornus officinalis, Rubus coreanus and Epimedium koreanum showed high radical scavenging activity. Ethanol extract of Drynaria fortunei, Cornus officinalis, Rubus coreanus, Gentiana scabra and Astragalus membranaceus showed high radical scavenging activity. Water extract of Drynaria fortunei, Cornus officinalis, Nelumbo nucifera, Epimedium koreanum, and Gentiana scabra showed very strong protective effect against oxidative damage to DNA. These results suggest the correlation between anti-osteoporotic effects and antioxidative effects.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical research literature of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) which is applicable to pediatric fracture and to broaden the field about clinical application of Korean medicine treatment for pediatric fracture. Methods We searched randomized controlled trials about TCM treatment of pediatric fracture from the CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) January 2013 to December 2017. We searched the literature and analyzed the treatment methods and the results. Results 31 papers were selected from 63 studies. In most studies, the total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the bone healing time of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group. Methods of herb treatment include internal medicine (IM), fumigation (FG) and external application (EA). The most commonly used herb medicine were Angelicae Gigantis Radix (當歸), Carthami Flos (紅花), Drynaria Fortunei (骨碎補), Paeonia Lactiflora Pallas (芍藥), Persicae Semen (桃仁), Lycopodii Herba (伸筋草), Ligusticum Chuanxiong Hort (川芎), Olibanum (乳香), Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix (丹蔘), and Panax Noto Ginseng (三七). Conclusions The use of herb medicine in pediatric fractures has resulted in faster and more effective restoration of fracture union than the Western medical therapy alone. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to widen the scope of Korean medicine if additional clinical studies on pediatric fracture were conducted.

장수상황버섯(Phellinus baumii) 균사체를 이용한 한약재의 고체발효를 통한 기능성 강화 한약재 생산을 목적으로, 항산화 활성 또는 혈류 개선활성이 우수하다고 알려진 36종의 한약재를 멸균 후, 장수상황버섯 균사체를 접종하여 고체발효 가능성을 검토하였다. $2^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 90% 배양기에서 20일간 발효시킨 결과, 감국, 대추, 백부자, 신이 및 황정을 제외한 31종에서 양호한 발효가 진행되었으며, 발효 가능여부는 한약재 식물체의 사용부위의 구조적 견고성, 영양조건 및 항진균 활성 등과 연관되리라 판단된다. 한약재의 고체발효 이후, 발효전과 비교하였을 때 평균 수분함량은 $30.84{\pm}15.67%$에서 $67.21{\pm}11.43%$로 2.2배 증대되었으며, 평균 메탄올 추출효율과 평균 pH는 $13.91{\pm}12.22%$ 및 $5.06{\pm}0.87$에서 각각 $11.16{\pm}7.06%$ 및 $4.83{\pm}0.73$ 다소 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 각각의 메탄올 추출물을 이용한 항혈전 활성 및 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과, 골쇄보, 천련자, 도엽, 와송의 경우에는 트롬빈 저해 활성이 각각 발효전에 비하여 31.38, 23.63, 22.57, 13.85% 증가되었으며, 원지, 현삼, 백지, 향부자, 골쇄보 및 육종용에서는 DPPH 소거능이 발효전에 비해 각각 58.9, 49.8, 48.1, 32.8, 24.1, 20.7% 증가되어 장수상황버섯 균사체 발효 한약재의 긍정적 생리활성 증가를 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 상황버섯 균사체를 이용한 한약재의 고체발효를 통해, 특정 기능성의 강화 원재료를 생산할 수 있으며, 골쇄보의 경우와 같이 항혈전 활성 및 항산화 활성이 동시에 증대된 한약재 생산이 가능함을 제시하고 있다.

본 연구에서는, 장수상황버섯(Phellinus baumii) 균사체를 이용한 한약재 고체발효 추출물의 암세포 성장억제 효과를 확인하고자 36종의 한약재 및 이들의 고체발효 한약재 추출물을 대상으로, 인간 대장암세포(HCT116) 성장억제능, 정상세포(HEK-293, 3T3-L1 및MC3T3-E1)에 대한 세포독성 및 인간 적혈구 용혈활성을 평가하였다. 선별된 36종의 한약재 추출물은 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서, 사인, 천궁, 석곡, 백선피, 시체, 두충, 백과, 신이, 와송, 삼칠, 견우자, 원지 및 괄루인의 13종에서 암세포 성장률이 50% 이하를 나타내었으며, 균사체 추출물은 46.3%의 성장률을 나타내었다. 반면 25종의 발효한약재 추출물은 대부분 암세포 성장억제능의 변화가 미미하였으나, 백선피, 백과, 신이, 황부자, 산약, 현삼 및 괄루인은 암세포 증식억제능이 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 도인, 골쇄보, 구기자 및 패모에서는 암세포 성장억제능이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 특히 골쇄보, 구기자 및 패모 추출물의 대장암세포에 대한 $IC_{50}$는 각각 394, 917 및 149 ${\mu}g/ml$이었으나, 발효 후 각각 28, 85 및 80 ${\mu}g/ml$를 나타내었다. 또한 발효 골쇄보, 구기자 및 패모 추출물은 200 ${\mu}g/ml$ 농도까지 정상세포에서 미미한 세포독성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 장수상황버섯 균사체를 이용한 한약재 고체발효가 새로운 항암 활성물질 개발 및 신규의 생리활성물질 생산에 이용될 수 있음을 제시하고 있다.
