Reynoutria japonica and R. sachalinensis have been used as medicinal resources in Korea. However, it is difficult to identify and determine these medicinal herbs correctly because they are usually customized and purchased as the fragmented rhizomes types. To develop molecular markers for distinguishing two species, we analyzed and compared the chloroplast DNA sequences of seven loci (atpB, matK, ccD-psaI, atpF-H, trnL-trnF, psbK-I and rpl32-trnL). Among them, we found two effective SNPs in psbK-I region for R. japonica and atpF-H region for R. sachalinensis. Based on these SNP sites, we designed the new R. japonica- specific primer which is able to amplify 300 bp fragment in psbK-I region. A similar strategy was applied for the atpF-H region of R. sachalinensis. These molecular markers would be successfully applied to recognize R. japonica and R. sachalinensis.

콩과 식물인 갈근에는 genistein과 daidzein이 함유된 것으로 알려졌으므로 본 연구는 갈근(PR), 갈화(PF) 및 어린순인 갈용(PL)에 함유된 phytoestrogen의 함량을 HPLC법으로 정량 분석하였다. 동시에 phytoestrogen의 골다공증 치료제에 대한 효능 검색의 일환으로 조골세포의 증식작용(MTT법 및 ALP분석)과 피골세포의 활성(TRAP법)을 측정하였고 난소절제 흰쥐에 PR 1 g/kg/day(PR-1) 및 PR 5 g/kg/day(PR-5)을 9주 동안 투여한 후 혈액분석, 혈장 Alkaline phospatase(ALP), 칼슘, 무기성 인산염, 총콜레스테롤, LDL- 및 HDL-콜레스테롤을 측정하였고 적출된 경골 및 요추골의 소주골면적을 측정하였다. PR과 PF의 총 daidzein의 함량은 $10436{\pm}2144\;mg/kg$와 $1003{\pm}206\;mg/kg$이었고 genistein과 formononetin은 PR에만 존재하고 PF 및 PL에는 함유되어 있지 않았다. 인간 유사 조골 세포주인 Saos-2에 PR은 대조군의 158% 정도(5 mg/mL)의 세포증식효과와 ALP 활성을 증가시켰으나 전처리한 PR, PF 및 PL의 세포증식효과는 없었고 PL만이 ALP 활성을 증가시켰다. 파골세포의 증식억제실험에서 genistein의 $IC_{50}$는 $1.57{\times}10^{-4}\;mg/mL$ $(5.81{\times}10^{-7}\;M)$이었고, daidzein과 PR은 효과가 없었다. 난소절제 흰쥐에 대한 in vivo 실험에서 대조군이 sham군보다 난소적출 1주 후부터 체중의 증가가 급격하게 나타났으나 PR의 투여로 둔화되었다. PR 투약에 의한 자궁의 무게는 PR-5군은 대조군에 비해 증가되었고(p<0.05), PR-1군은 대조군과 유의성이 없었다. 혈장 ALP의 활성은 주령의 증가에 EK라 감소하는 경향을 보였고, HDL-콜레스테롤의 농도는 모든 군에서 주령에 따라 감소되었으나(p<0.01), PR-5군의 LDL-콜레스테롤의 농도는 대조군에 비해 감소되었다(p<0.01). 대조군에 비해 sham군의 경골 및 요추골의 면적은 증가되었고(p<0.01), PR 투여군(PR-1 및 PR-5)도 sham보다 적으나 대조군에 비해 소주골 면적이 증가되었다(각 p<0.01). 특히 고용량의 PR 투여는 PR의 골다공증 치료효과가 우수함을 증명하였으며(p<0.01), PL과 PF는 효능이 미비하나 PR은 골다공증의 예방 및 치료제로는 상당히 우수한 한약재임이 확인되었다.

Objectives : The processing of Pinelliae Tuber and Arisaematis Rhizoma is a crucial step to reduce the severe acrid irritation mainly due to the needle-like crystals (raphides). Ginger, alum and bile juice have been used as adjuvant materials for the processing. Methods : Bibliographic research on ancient processing and experimental processing was performed to investigate the toxicity reduction mechanisms of the processing with ginger, alum and bile juice. Results : Ginger has been a major adjuvant for the processing of Pinelliae Tuber, followed by alum and bile juice since Song (宋) and Myeong (明) dynasties, and Arisaematis Rhizoma has been mainly used as Damnamseong (膽南星). The raphides consisting of calcium oxalate, lectin, agglutinin and polysaccharides can induce acrid irritation and the inflammatory reactions. The lipophilic components in the ginger denatured the structure of raphides and 6-gingerol-contained ginger extract attenuated the inflammatory reaction. The calcium ion (Ca²⁺) of calcium oxalate was substituted to the aluminium ion (Al³⁺) of the alum, which damaged the calcium oxalate structure. Lectin attached to the surface of raphides was dissolved in alum solution and consequently its structure was denatured. The cholate in the bile juice formed the complex with the oxalate anion or the calcium cation. Moreover, the enzymes activated by Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium during the fermentation promoted the fragmentation of oxalate. Conclusion : The adjuvant materials damaged the raphides by denaturing or degrading the calcium oxalate, resulting in the reduction of acrid irritation. Further experimental studies would support the toxicity reduction mechanism of the processing.

Three species of genus Polygonum, namely P. cuspidatum, P. sachalinense and P. ellipticum are distributed in Korea. Polygonum ellipticum Migo is a perennial herb in Polygonaceous plants. The root of the plant (Polygoni Rhizoma, 'Ho-jang') have been used as laxative, diuretic and for the treatment suppurative dermatitis in the oriental medicine. As the part of the study for the comparison of the three species in their components, the authors attempted to isolate the anthraquinones and stilbene derivative from the rhizome of P. ellipticum. The methanolic extract of dried rhizome of this plant was fractionated into ether soluble and insoluble fraction and each fraction was applied to column chromatography to isolate above mentioned components. Anthraquinone derivatives were isolated first; comp. I, mp $204{\sim}205^{\circ}$ (physcion), comp. II, mp $254{\sim}255^{\circ}$ (emodin), comp. IV, mp $191{\sim}192^{\circ}$ $(emodin-8-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside)$ and comp. III, mp $280{\sim}282^{\circ}$ $({\beta}-sitosterol-glucoside)$. They were identified by chemical properties and UV, IR and NMR spectra and by the direct comparison with authentic samples. Stilbene derivative was isolated secondly; comp. V, mp $255{\sim}256^{\circ}$ which was reported to possess antibacterial and antifungal activities.

Objectives This study was aimed to evaluate clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) of traffic injuries, which has already been developed at domestic or outside of country, and to explore the Korean medical treatments included in the CPGs. Methods Twelve electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI {Chinese Academic Journals, CAJ}], Research Information Sharing Service [RISS], Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System [OASIS], KoreaMed, Korean Medical Guideline Information [KoMGI), National Guideline Clearinghouse [AHRQ], Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials Initiative Website [COMET], Turning Research into Practice [TRIP], The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [NICE], and Medical Research Information Center [MedRIC]) up to July 2021 were searched. Only systematically developed CPGs for traffic injuries were selected and appraised. The appraisal was conducted by using Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation (AGREE) II tool. Results Six CPGs were included and evaluated. All CPGs were appraised as highly recommended because they exceeded 60% in more than 4 among 6 domains of AGREE II, including domain of 'rigor of development', and 30% in the rest. Recommendations related to Korean medicine treatments such as on manual therapy related to Chuna were given in 6 CPGs, 4 for acupuncture, 1 for Qigong and 1 for Taping. Conclusions The 6 CPGs were developed up to now through a systematic development methodology and there were many recommendations for Korean medical treatments related to manual (Chuna) treatment, acupuncture and Qigong. However, the evidence for the side effects and risk factors of Korean medical treatments was scantly reflected in CPGs. Therefore, it is considered that balanced CPG with benefits and risks should be developed, covering Korean medical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

Angelicae tenuissimae Radix의 정유성분에 대한 구조규명과 채취장소에 따른 정유성분의 정량실험 결과 및 Ligustici rhizoma와의 정성 정량적 차이점에 관한 실험을 하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. Ligustici rhizoma와 Angelicae tenuissimae Radix 산지별 네가지 시료의 용출함량을 비교한 결과 경북 석포에서 채집한 시료가 11.32%로 가장 높은 값을 나타내었고, 중국산 Ligustici rhizoma가 3.49%로 가장 낮은 용출함량을 나타냈다. GC/MS로 구조를 분석한 결과 Angelicae tenuissimae Radix의 정유성 분은 ${\alpha}-pinene,\;{\alpha}-phellendrene,\;{\delta}-3-carene,\;{\gamma}-terpinene$, 4-vinylguaiacol, ${\alpha}-farnesene,\;(t)-{\beta}-farnessene,\;{\gamma}-elemene$, sesquiterpene alcohol, butylphthalide, senkyunolide, butylidenephthalide, z-butylidenedihydrophthalide (z-ligustilide) 등을 확인할 수 있었는데, Ligustici rhizoma 정유성분에서는 Angelicae tenuissimae Radix와 다르게 senkyunolide가 38.7%로 주성분이었으며, butylphthalide(17%), cnidilide(8.8%), z-ligustilide(8.8%) 등을 함유하였다. 따라서 Ligustici rhizoma와 Angelicae tenuissimae Radix의 주성분이 서로 상이하며, 그 조성비도 큰 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과로부터 고본의 주성분은 ligustilide (한국산 고본)과 senkyunolide (중국산)로서 앞으로 임상실험을 통하여 이들 성분의 정확한 약리효과를 규정함으로써 고본(藁本)을 규격화 하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 기후분포가 다른 3개 그룹 지역(G1, G2, G3)에 겉보리를 파종하고, 월동 전(12월), 월동 후(2월) 및 출수기(4월)에 생육과 수확기(6월)에 수량 차이를 조사하였고, 이들 그룹 지역간 생육과 수량차이와 작물생육기 기상요인과 출수기에 토양화학성과 잎 무기성분과 관련성을 조사하였다. 또한 수확기에는 그룹 지역간에 수확한 겉보리 종자의 일반성분, 무기물 및 아미노산 함량을 조사하였다. 월동 전, 후 분얼수는 G1지역이 G2와 G3지역에 비해 높았다. 그러나 출수기의 분얼수와 지상부 건물중은 G2와 G3 지역이 G1지역에 비해 높았다. 재생기, 유수형성기 및 출수일의 경우 G2 지역은 G1과 G3지역에 비해 다소 늦었다. 그러나 엽록소 함량(SPAD값)은 그룹 간에 차이가 없었다. 수량의 경우 G2지역이 G1과 G3지역에 비해 9~15% 감소하였다. G2지역의 수량 감소는 수수, 영화수 및 등숙율 감소에 기인되는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 G2지역에서 수량이 감소했던 것은 G2지역이 작물 생육기에 최고, 최저 및 일 평균기온이 G1과 G3지역에 비해 낮았기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 토양 내 무기성분은 G2지역에서 G1과 G3 지역에 비해 높았다. 식물체의 무기성분 함량은 G1지역에서 G2와 G3 지역에 비해 높은 경향이었다. Cu, K, Mg 및 P와 같은 무기물 함량은 G3 지역에서 그리고 조단백질과 대부분 아미노산은 G2 지역에서 다른 지역에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 경향을 보였다. 따라서 재배한계지 G1지역은 주산지 G3 지역에 비해 겉보리 수량과 일반성분, 아미노산 및 무기물 함량 등에 부정적인 영향없이 안정적으로 재배가 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

Over the period between January 1997 and December 1998, herbal medicine was more than three times administered to the patients coming to Na dong gyu's Oriental Medical Clinic on account of the symptom of growth deficiency. According to radiological opinions about the patients providing cooperation for measuring their height and weight as well as their bone age every three months, it was found that the growth plates were not closed. A research was conducted for 200 children randomly selected of patients in prepuberty (they grew by less than 5cm a year before treatment at a age of 12years for female children and 14years for male children). As a result, the following conclusion was drawn: 1. The randomly selected subjects were made up of 116 male and 84 female children in terms of gender. The age direstribution was most 10 to 12 years in 86 children(34.00%), followed by 8-10 years(27.50%) and 12 to 14 years(19.50%). 2. Considering the distribution of sick children's parental height, the fathers of 141 children(70.50%) measured less than 170cm high, the subaverage height, while the mothers of 172 children(86%) measured less than 160cm high, the subaverage height. It was shown that sick childen's height was genetically influenced by their parents. 3. Children patients's weight at a time of birth was most 3.1-3.5kg for 85 children(44%) and less than 2.5kg which came under the range of growth dificiency for 19 children(9.5%). 4. The highest proportian of the children patients with growth dificiency(56.33%) had the symptom of digestive disorders, of which 77 children patients(18.78%) had anorexia, 16.59% of children patients had the high level of respiratory disorders. Both the digestive disorder and the respiratory disorder put together, they had the high rate of 72.92%. Therefore, this indicates that both the digestive disorder and the respiratory disorder have a great effect on children's growth dificiency. 10.74% of chilren patients were shown to have allergic disorders, which indicates that they also exert an effect on growth deficiency. Specifically, 7.07% of the children patients had the high level of obesity, which shows that an excessive uptake of nutrition may rather induce children to have growth dificiency though an appropriate amount of nutritional uptake is necessary. 5. Comparing their bone age and their chronological age, 58 children patients(29.00%) showed that they were the same at the highest percent. 79 children patients(39.50%) showed that thier bone age was lower than their chronological age. And 63 children patients(31.50%) showed that their bone age was higher than their chronological age. 6. As regards the prescription administered to children patients for treating their growth dificiency, Growth tang A related to the kidney, the congenital factor, of the causes for growth dificiency in traditional Oriental Medicine was administered to 108 children patients(54%), whereas the Growth tang B related to the spleen, the acquired factor, was administered to 92 children patients(46%). 7. 116 male children patients with growth dificiency had the average value of growth for one year before treatment, 4.39cm, while 84 female children patients had the average value of growth for one year before treatment, 4.24cm. A total of 200 children had the average value of growth for one year before treatment, 4.33cm. The annual average value of growth in growth curve surveyed by the Korea Pediatrics Society was 5.79cm. Compared to this value, the one year average value of growth for 108 male and female children patients taking Growth tang A was shown be 8.44cm, which indicates a greater growth by 4.12cm(95.37%) in comparison with the average value of growth before treatment, 4.32cm, and a greater growth by 2.65cm(45.77%) compared to 5.79cm, the average value of growth in growth curve surveyed by the Korea Pediatrics Society. Also, the average value of growth before treatment for 92 male and female children patients taking Growth tang B was shown to be 8.47cm, which indicates a greater increase by 4.15cm(96.06%) compared to 4.32cm, the average value of growth before treatment and a greater increase by 2.67cm(46.29%) in comparison with 5.79cm, the average value of growth in growth curve surveyed by the Korea Pediatrics Society. Considering the average value of growth for male and female children patients taking Growth tang A and B, it was shown to be 8.46cm, which indicates a greater increase by 4.14cm(95.81%) compared to 4.32cm, the average value of growth before treatment, and a greater increase by 2.67cm(46.11%) compared to 5.79cm, the average value of growth in growth curve surveyed by the Korea Pediatrics Society.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to seek ways to improve the quality of life of workers by separating workers into the low fatigue group and the severe fatigue group depending on the level of fatigue level, and analyzing and understanding the difference between quality of life and job stress according to the fatigue level. Methods: For the 'Development of Mibyeong management system which was a consumer-directed health care service', the data of job stress, fatigue and quality of life was collected from 115 workers who visited the oriental hospitals located in J city and C city from Jul, 2012 to Dec, 2012. Results: The severe fatigue group showed significantly higher job stress than the low fatigue group in physical environment (p=.004), job demand (p<.001), interpersonal conflict (p=.012), lack of reward (p=.062). The severe fatigue group showed lower degrees both in physical component summary (PCS) (p<.001) and mental component summary (MCS) (p<.001) measured by SF-12 and the quality of life (p<.001) measured by EQ5D than the lower fatigue group. A relatively strong negative correlation was found in the item of mental component summary (MCS) measured by SF-12. Conclusion: Considering our results that high fatigue level show negative impact on quality of life and job stress, we suggest to provide a variety of health promotion strategies to improve the quality of life through the prevention and relief of fatigue for workers.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of Yigong-san on anorexia in children by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: Eleven electronic databases were searched on May 30, 2022 to collect relevant studies. All studies published up to the search date were considered. RCTs reporting the effect of Yigong-san on the treatment of anorexia in children were included. The primary outcome was an improvement in clinical anorexia symptoms after treatment. In this meta-analysis, continuous and binary outcomes were assessed, and the data were presented as the mean difference and risk ratio with their 95% confidence intervals. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool. Results: A total of nine studies were included in this systematic review. The treatment group (Yigong-san only or Yigong-san plus conventional treatment) showed a statistically significant effect compared to the control group (conventional treatment only) in total effective rate (Yigong-san only: RR 1.26, 95% CI 1.17, 1.36, I²=0%; Yigong-san plus conventional treatment: RR 1.32, 95% CI 1.18, 1.47, I²=0%), clinical symptoms, some of the anthropometric outcomes, and biological markers related to appetite and growth in children with anorexia. No serious adverse events related to Yigong-san were reported. Conclusions: Yigong-san showed statistically significant effects as a treatment for anorexia in children. However, the number of studies included in the meta-analysis was insufficient, and the herbs contained in the Yigong-san used in the included studies were not standardized. Future research should focus on the implementation of methodologically robust clinical research.
