본 연구에서는 헛개나무 열매 추출물을 당 분해효소를 이용하여 효소처리 시 알코올 분해능에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 당분해효소인 Maxinvert(invertase), Optidex L-400(glucoamylase), Rohament CL(cellulase & pectinase)를 각각 농도별(0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0,5, 1%)로 첨가하여 48시간 효소처리 하면서 6시간 간격으로 sample을 채취해 ADH 효소 활성을 측정하였다. 효소 농도가 높을수록 효소 활성이 증가하였으며, 시간이 지남에 따라 활성이 높아졌다. Maxinvert 효소 처리 시 기존의 활성보다 약 10% 증가하여 가장 낮은 활성 증가를 보였고, Rohament CL 효소를 1% 첨가하여 효소처리할 경우, 기존의 활성에 비해 효소 활성이 67% 증가한 것으로 가장 많은 효소 활성 증가를 보였다. Rohament CL 효소를 1% 첨가할 경우, 시간이 지남에 따라 활성이 증가하다가 30시간대부터 활성의 증가가 변화가 거의 없었다. 이로 보아 36시간까지 효소처리하는 것이 가장 효율적일 것이라 사료된다. Rohament CL 효소 1% 첨가하여 36시간 효소 처리한 헛개나무 열매 추출물을 이용하여 동물 실험 및 임상 실험을 실시한 결과, control군 및 헛개나무 열매 추출물 군에 비해 알코올 농도가 줄어드는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 특히 알코올 섭취 초기에 그 효과가 가장 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 이로 보아 효소 처리한 헛개나무 열매 추출물이 기존의 헛개나무 열매 추출물에 비해 더 많은 체내 알코올 농도 감소를 나타낼 것으로 생각되며, 음주 초기에 더 많은 영향을 줄 것으로 사료되어 진다. 이는 기존의 배당체(glycoside) 형태로 존재하던 생리활성 물질이 당 분해 효소에 의해 당이 분해된 무배당체(aglycone) 형태로 전환되어 그 활성이 높아졌기 때문으로 사료되어진다.

Background: Type I allergy is involved in allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis which are accompanied by an acute and chronic allergic inflammatory responses. Rehmannia glutinosa is a traditional medicine in the East Asian region. This study examined whether a Rehmannia Glutinosa pharmacopuncture solution (RGPS) had anti-allergic or anti-inflammatory effects in antigen-stimulated-RBL-2H3 cells. Methods: We determined the effect of RGPS on cell viability using the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazolyl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. We also examined the effect of RGPS on the release of ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase and the secretion of IL-4 and TNF-${\alpha}$ using ELISA. In addition, we evaluated the effect of RGPS on the mRNA expression of various cytokines; IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and TNF-${\alpha}$ using RT-PCR. Furthermore, we assessed the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor (NF)-${\kappa}$B using Western blotting after RGPS treatment. Results: We found that RGPS ($10^{-4}$ to $10^{-1}$ dilution) did not cause any cytotoxicity. We observed significant inhibition of ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase release and suppression of the protein secretion of IL-4 and TNF-${\alpha}$ and mRNA expression of multiple cytokines in antigen-stimulated-RBL-2H3 cells after RGPS treatment. Additionally, RGPS suppressed not only the phosphorylation of MAPKs, but also the transcriptional activation of NF-${\kappa}$B in antigen-stimulated-RBL-2H3 cells. Conclusions: These results suggest that RGPS inhibits degranulation and expression of cytokines including IL-4 and TNF-${\alpha}$ via down-regulation of MAPKs and NF-${\kappa}$B activation in antigen-stimulated-RBL-2H3 cells. In conclusion, RGPS may have beneficial effects in the exerting anti-allergic or anti-inflammatory activities.

Pulse diagnosis has been highly valued in many East Asian medical books, since "Huangdaineijing(黃帝內經)" published. Gigoo-inyoung pulse method(氣口人迎脈法) is one of the four pulse diagnostic methods originally written in"Huangdaineijing(黃帝內經)". At the late 3rd century, "Maijing(脈經)" redefined the positions of Gigoo-inyoung pulse(氣口人迎脈). According to "Maijing(脈經)", both spots were 1fen(分) in front of guan(關) but Gigoo on the right hand and Inyoung on the left hand. At the middle of 13th century, "Maekgyolejijangbyungsikdoseol(脈訣指掌病式圖說)" had detailed view points about the manner of reading Gigoo-inyoung pulse. "Maekgyolejijangbyungsikdoseol(脈訣指掌病式圖說)" explained clearly the position of 1fen(分) in front of guan(關) by sketch of wrist. The location indicated the border of cun(寸) and guan(關). It also explained clearly corresponding certain cun-guan-chi(寸關尺) with Gigoo-inyoung pulse by sketch. "Euihackipmoon(醫學入門)" is a comprehensive book on medicine written by Lee-Cheon(李梴) in Ming(明) dynasty. In this book, pulse diagnosis is the most emphasized method among the four techniques of diagnosis(四診). Furthermore, it introduces detailed information about Gigoo-inyoung pulse method(氣口人迎脈法) in "Gigoo-inyoungmaekgyole(氣口人迎脈訣)". Lee-Cheon concured in the theory of "Yeongruegumbang(永類鈐方)" and "Maekgyolejijangbyungsikdoseol(脈訣指掌病式圖說)" and put a short essay about Gigoo-inyoung pulse named "Gigoo-inyoungmaekgyole(氣口人迎脈訣)" quoted from the two books. Therefore, throughout many chapters of "Euihackipmoon(醫學入門)", Gigoo-inyoung pulse is used in order to distinguish internal damage(內傷) and external contraction(外感). "Maekgyolejijangbyungsikdoseol(脈訣指掌病式圖說)" and "Euihackipmoon(醫學入門)" understood Gigoo-inyoung pulse commonly by corresponding certain cun-guan-chi(寸關尺) with Gigoo-inyoung pulse. Therefrom, Gigoo-inyoung pulse can distinguish seven emotions(七情) of internal damage(內傷) or six excesses(六淫) of external contraction(外感).

This paper aims to find out the unique Oriental Medical characteristics of the prescription Gami-Bojeongsan(加味普正散), which can only be found in "Cheong-gang Euigam(晴崗醫鑑)" and the records of diagnosis by Kim Yeong Hoon. First, clues regarding Gami-Bojeongsan (加味普正散) in "Cheong-gang Euigam(晴崗醫鑑)" and the records of diagnosis by Kim Yeong Hoon have been collected, and then the origin of Gami-Bojeongsan(加味普正散) has been studied. Moreover, changes of prescriptions for common cold in East Asian Medicine have been looked into from historical perspective, and their connection to Gami-Bojeongsan(加味普正散) has also been researched. Lastly, connection of prescriptions for common cold found in royal records of the Chosun Dynasty to Gami-Bojeongsan(加味普正散) has been confirmed. The results are as follow: 1) Gami-Bojeongsan(加味普正散) is a most frequently used prescription in the records of diagnosis by Kim Yeong Hoon, and was used mostly in winter. It includes various modified versions. 2) Prescriptions that adopt Cyperi Rhizoma(香附子) as the sovereign medicinal, such as Gami-Bojeongsan(加味普正散), include Hyangsosan(香蘇散) of "Hejijufang(和劑局方)" and Hyang-gal-tang (香葛湯) of "Dexiaofang(得效方)". Hyang-gal-tang(香葛湯) is thought to have adopted Korean characteristics through "Dong-Eui-Bo-Gam (東醫寶鑑)" and "Je-Jung-Shin-Pyeon(濟衆新編)", and have continued its existence until it reached Gami-Bojeongsan(加味普正散). 3) These characteristics can be found in the royal records of the Chosun Dynasty, and also in Shin-Su-Tae-Eul-San(神授太乙散) of "Euibang-Yuchui (醫方類聚)".

Objective : This article shows that while Seishu Hanaoka(華岡靑洲) is known to have developed an effective anesthetic formula composed of traditional herbs and performed the world first partial mastectomy under a general anesthesia in 1804, anesthetic formulas very similar to those developed by him were widely recorded and deemed used in Japan and Northeast Asia before his invention. The origin of the formulas will be tracked down to compare with the several formulas broadly administered in the region. Methods : Historical literature analysis was adopted to achieve the objective. 1. Mayaku-ku (麻藥考): this book is the main medical classic by Nakagawa Syutei(中川修亭) that introduces Seishu Hanaoka, his anesthetic formulas and mastectomy. 2. Northeast medical classics: Seuideukhyobang (世醫得效方) in 1337, Uibangryuchui (醫方類聚), Uihui(宜彙) and so on. Result : Herbs such as aconitum and datura were applied as a anesthetic agent early on before the Chinese Yuan dynasty. In Korea as well, some old medical books documented such use of those herbs and relevant formulas. Conclusion : Formulas that counted as invented and employed by Seishu Hanaoka as anesthetics, in fact, had been widely known and used in the region before his era. We should pay due attention to his creativity that combined a western surgical intervention and traditional anesthetic agents and successfully performed a newly introduced surgical practice in Japan. The point is that Hanaoka took note of anesthetic herbs or formulas traditionally inherited in North-east Asian medicine and successfully applied them to the surgical procedures for breast cancer, or mastectomy and mammotomy. This history alerts us to neglected or forgotten potentials of traditional medicine in anesthetic treatment and more.

Shihosamul-tang (柴胡四物湯, Bupleurum Four Substances Decoction) is a very effective and widely utilized prescription in Korean medicine. However, there has not been a clinical example written in the classical literature of Korean medicine that deals with Shihosamul-tang and the delicate and changeable clinical use of Shihosamul-tang remains unknown. This study tries, for the first time, to show the clinical practice of Shihosamul-tang through review of KyungBoSinPyun (輕寶新篇). KyungBoSinPyun is a medical book containing 143 case records in the tradition of the East Asian practice of describing clinical encounters and the therapies employed. This study examines eight examples of case records within KyungBoSinPyun highlighting use of Shihosamul-tang. The purpose is to understand how Shihosamul-tang is applied in clinical practice compared to the description of Shihosamul-tang in Donguibogam (東醫寶鑑). Different descriptions about the symptoms and transformation methods of the prescription have been found in the eight examples of Shihosamul-tang case records contained in KyungBoSinPyun. This paper concludes that the difference between clinical practice and a typical description in medical books should be overcome by medical virtuosity and the potential for change for each clinical case, which is gained when seeing beyond the text of medical books.

Objectives: In recent years, transboundary air pollution from mainland East Asia has led to growing concerns about air pollution in Japan. Air pollution is reportedly associated with the exacerbation of respiratory diseases. In this study, we assessed the effects of air pollution on respiratory symptoms and the health status of participants with and without chronic respiratory diseases. Methods: Participants (n=2753) with and without chronic respiratory diseases who visited healthcare facilities in Japan during February from 2010 to 2015 filled out a self-report questionnaire regarding their symptoms and perceived health status. Participants were followed up during April-May and June-July. Results: Oxidant concentrations were associated with respiratory symptoms, overall health, and quality of life (QoL). Suspended particulate matter (SPM) and particulate matter <$2.5{\mu}m$ levels were associated with physical fitness; SPM was also associated with QoL. Recent experience of an Asian sand dust event had a significant effect on allergic symptoms, change in health, and QoL. Conclusions: Respiratory symptoms were more strongly affected by oxidants than by other pollutants. Significant associations of air pollutants were found with a comprehensive range of items related to perceived health status, including overall health and QoL. Although the effects of air pollutants on respiratory symptoms and health status were more apparent among patients with respiratory diseases, the adverse effects of air pollutants were significant even among participants without such conditions.

Objectives : Polygoni Multiflori Radix (Jeokhasuo in Korean) is a Oriental traditional herbs widely used in East Asian countries. Overconsumption of fructose results in hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity and impaired glucose tolerance which have documented as a risk of cardiovascular diseases. This experimental study was designed to investigate the beneficial effects of an ethanol extract from Polygoni Multiflori Radix (PMR) in high-fructose (HF) diet-induced metabolic syndrome rat model. Methods : Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into three groups; Control group, receiving regular diet and tap water, HF group, and HF + PMR group both receiving supplemented with 65% fructose (n=10), respectively. The HF + PMR group initially received HF diet with PMR (100 mg/kg/day) for 8 weeks. Results : PMR significantly prevented the metabolic disturbances such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension and impaired glucose tolerance. Chronic treatment with PMR significantly decreased body weight, fat weight and adipocyte size, suggesting a role of anti-obesity effect. PMR led to improve the hyperlipidemia through the increase in HDL cholesterol level as well as the decrease in triglyceride and LDL cholesterol level. In addition, PMR suppressed adhesion molecules and endothelin-1 (ET-1) expression in aorta resulting in the decrease of hypertension. In muscle tissue, PMR significantly recovered the HF-induced insulin resistance through increase of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), p-$AMPK{\alpha}1/2$, and p-Akt expression. PMR improved HF-induced metabolic disorders and its action was caused by energy metabolism-mediated insulin signaling activation. Conclusions : These results demonstrate that PMR may be a beneficial therapeutic for metabolic syndrome through the improvement of hyperlipidemia, obesity, insulin resistance and hypertension.

A 46-year-old female presented a mass on her right lower leg where she had a burn injury due to moxibustion 10 years ago. Physical examination revealed a 3 cm sized firm nodule with tenderness. Plain radiograph was performed and it revealed well-defined calcifications. According to the history of moxibustion burn injury and the result of plain radiograph, dystrophic calcinosis cutis caused by burn injury was suspected. The patient underwent excisional biopsy using pre-,intra-, and post-operative ultrasonography (USG). There was no sign of recurrence. Herein, we report a case of a 46-year-old healthy woman who presented with single hard nodule on the right lower leg. Our case is worthwhile in two respects. First, It is first case report of dystrophic calcinosis cutis due to moxibustion burn injury. In east asian culture, moxibustion is a commonly conducted procedure and it often induces burn injury. Second, USG was used pre-, intra-, and post-operatively to assess the shape, location, and depth of the calcinosis cutis and to determine the surgical margin.
