Objectives : This study was conducted to compare Chaenomelis Sinensis Fructus with Chaenomelis Lagenariae Fructus, and to examine Fructus chaenomelis having an influence on Intestinal Motility. Methods : We compared Chaenomelis Sinensis Fructus with Chaenomelis Lagenariae Fructus, by observing their effects on Intestinal Motility. Oral administration of water extracts of Chaenomelis Sinensis Fructus and Chaenomelis Lagenariae Fructus into albino rats was followed by dealing with carbachol or loperamide, injecting charcoal meal and measuring the moving length in the intestine. Results : By Chaenomelis Sinensis Fructus and Chaenomelis Lagenariae Fructus, the Intestinal Motility of normal albino rats did not change significantly. Chaenomelis Sinensis Fructus and Chaenomelis Lagenariae Fructus controled the accelerated Intestinal Motility of albino rats. Chaenomelis Sinensis Fructus was not different from the extracting method, Chaenomelis Lagenariae Fructus had effects of control on extracting by methanol significantly. When Chaenomelis Sinensis Fructus was compared with Chaenomelis Lagenariae Fructus, the former was proved to have control effects on Intestinal Motility in decoction extracts and extracts by ethyl ether higher than the latter. By both Chaenomelis Sinensis Fructus and Chaenomelis Lagenariae Fructus, the declined Intestinal Motility was not changed significantly. Conclusion : Chaenomelis Fructus suppressed the exasperated Intestinal Motility by carbachol, but did not influence the dropped Intestinal Motility by loperamide. In addition, Chaenomelis Sinensis Fructus was more excellent than Chaenomelis Lagenariae Fructus in its control effects of Intestinal Motility. inhibitory effects by DKT represent a potential therapeutic approach to the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Objectives : This research was investigated anticoagulant effect of the Chaenomelis Fructus extract. Methods : To examine an active effect of anticoagulation in Chaenomelis Fructus extract, the study measured Prothrombin time(PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) of human plasma in vitro and measured bleeding time and arterio-venous shunt model in rats in vivo. Results : Bleeding time of Chaenomelis Fructus extract in vivo had a significant increase as about 1.6 times and thrombus weight of Chaenomelis Fructus extract had a significant reduction of thrombus weight as 50%. Chaenomelis Fructus extract represented an effect of anticoagulation by operating on extrinsic pathway factor II, V, VII, X and intrinsic pathway factor VIII, IX, X, XI, XII in the coagulation system. Conclusions : Considering the above mentioned results, it is judged that a Chaenomelis Fructus extract has a control effect of thrombus creation.

The dying properties of fabrics with Chaenomelis Fructus extract were studied through an investigation of the characteristic of Chaenomelis Fructus colorants, the effect of dyeing conditions (dye temperature, dyeing concentration, and times on dye uptakes), effect of mordant, effect of UV irradiation, and color change in addition, antimicrobial ability and deodorant ability were estimated. In the UV-Visible spectrum, the wavelength of maximum absorption of Chaenomelis Fructus extract was 280 nm and showed that tannin is the major pigment component. From the increase of absorbance by UV irradiation, it was assumed that catechol tannin color was developed through UV irradiation. An increased dyeing concentration resulted in a larger dye uptake. Dye uptake increased as the dyeing time and temperature increased. Chaenomelis Fructus extract showed relatively good affinity to silk than cotton. Mordant, Fe and Cu were effective to increase the dye uptake of cotton fabric in addition, the dye uptake of silk fabric mordanted with Fe and K improved. UV irradiation let the color of dyed fabrics develop regardless of the UV irradiation stage however, UV irradiation on the dyed fabric was more effective than on the extract for the color development. Dyed silk fabric showed very good antimicrobial abilities of 99.9% in addition, deodorant ability improved in the fabric dyed with Chaenomelis Fructus extract.

본 연구에서 8종의 생약 추출물이 A. parasiticus의 배양시 aflatoxin $B_1$ 생성에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 배지의 pH는 배양 3일 후에 모든 생약 추출물이 pH 4 이하를 나타냈으며 구기자, 오매, 계피, 두충은 배양 6일에 다시 pH 4 이상으로 상승하였고 이중 대추가 배양 기간 중 가장 낮은 pH를 나타냈다. 균체 생성량은 모든 실험군이 대조군보다 높았으며 갈근, 두충, 오미자, 대추, 오매,구기자, 목과의 순으로 나타났다. 이중 갈근이 최대 생성량을 나타냈으며 목과가 가장 낮은 생성량을 나타냈다. Aflatoxin $B_1$은 갈근과 대추 추출물을 제외한 모든 실험군에서 생성이 억제되었다. 특히 계피, 오매, 두충 구기자, 오미자 추출물 에서 aflatoxin $B_1$ 생성이 현저히 저하되었으며 계피가 가장 큰 억제 효과를 나타냈다. 균체량이 많이 생성되면 aflatoxin $B_1$ 생성이 적어지고 균체량이 적게 생성되면 aflatoxin $B_1$의 생성이 많아졌다. Aspergillus parasiticus에 의해 aflatoxin $B_1$을 가장 적게 생성하는 계피와 가장 많이 생성하는 갈근 추출물의 총단백질 생성량은 계피는 3일째 (34.5%), 갈근 ext ract는 4일째 (36.4%) 총단백질의 함량이 최대가 되어 균체 내의 총단백질의 함량은 계피와 갈근 추출물을 첨가한 시험군이 게조군의 총단백질 함량 (32.7%)보다 약간 많았으며 aflatoxin $B_1$ 생성 및 축적이 최대가 되는 시기는 총단백질량이 최대가 되는 시기보다 대체로 1일 정도 늦게 나타났다.

Control group: group of hindlimb suspension for 7 days 3. NT group: non-treatment group for 2 or 4 weeks after 7days of hindlimb suspension. 4. EX gtoup: running exercise group for 2 or 4 weeks after 7days of hindlimb suspension. 5. HA group: administration of Chaenomelis fructus herbal acupuncture during 2 or 4 weeks after 7 days of hindlimb suspension. 6. EXHA group: administration of Chaenomelis fructus herbal acupuncture and running exercise during 2 or 4 weeks after 7 days of hindlimb suspension. Results Results : 1. The composition of type I muscle fibers in the soleus muscle significantly increased in 2 or 4 weeks HA and EXHA groups more than control group, and the composition of type IIa muscle fibers in the soleus muscle significantly decreased in 2 or 4 weeks HA and EXHA goups more than control group. 2. The composition of type I muscie fibers in the tibialis anterior muscle significantly increased in 2 or 4 weeks HA and EXHA groups more than control group, and the composition of type IIb muscle fibers in the soleus muscle significantly decreased in 2 or 4 weeks HA and EXHA groups more than control group. 3. The size of type I muscle fibers in the soleus muscle significantly increased in 2 or 4 weeks HA and EXHA groups more than control group, and the size of type IIa muscle fibers in the soleus muscle significantly increased in 2 weeks EXHA group and 4 weeks HA and EXHA groups more than control group. 4. The size of type I, IIa muscle fibers in the tibialis anterior muscle significantly increased in 2 or 4weeks HA, EXHA and EX groups more than control group, and the size of type IIb muscle fibers significantly increased in 2 weeks EXHA group and 4 weeks HA, EXHA and EX groups more than control group. 5. The capiliaries number per fiber of muscle fibers in the soleus and tibialis anterior muscle showed no differences in all experimental groups more than control group. Conclusion : According to the above results, it is shown that Chaenomelis fructus herbal acupuncture could be effective in the treatment of muscle atrophy.
