본 연구는 수분함유량이 많아 장기간의 보관이 어려운 아이스플랜트의 저장성을 높이기 위하여 발효하였을 경우, triglyceride, cholesterol 합성 및 tyrosinase 활성 등의 변화를 조사하였다. 유기산의 함량은 발효 후에는 lactic acid가 $23.672{\pm}3.74mg/g$으로 가장 많았으며 malic acid, acetic acid citric acid의 순이었다. 발효 전 후의 cyclitol 화합물의 변화를 보면, D-pinitol은 각각 $6.670{\pm}0.187mg/g$과 $5.541{\pm}0.088mg/g$으로 감소하였으나, myo-inositol은 $0.653{\pm}0.022mg/g$과 $3.848{\pm}0.216mg/g$, D-chiro-inositol은 $3.848{\pm}0.216mg/g$과 $4.945{\pm}0.098mg/g$으로 증가하였다. HepG2 세포 내 중성지방의 감소율은 발효 전 후에 각각 $3.04{\pm}1.70{\sim}35.73{\pm}5.06%$와 $5.13{\pm}0.90{\sim}53.32{\pm}1.79%$로서 발효 후 저해효과가 약간 높게 나타났으며, 대체로 극성이 큰 n-butanol과 aqueous 분획에서는 각각 $25.93{\pm}1.47{\sim}35.73{\pm}5.06%$과 $26.26{\pm}2.07{\sim}53.32{\pm}1.79%$로서 발효 후에 비교적 큰 폭으로 중성지방의 축적을 저해하였다. HepG2 세포 내 콜레스테롤의 감소율도 발효 전 후에 각각 $4.02{\pm}1.50{\sim}56.34{\pm}5.55%$와 $6.56{\pm}1.46{\sim}64.52{\pm}5.50%$ 정도로서 발효 후에 콜레스테롤의 합성 저해효과가 약간 크게 나타났다. 특히 처리농도가 $100{\mu}g/ml$ 이상에서 n-hexane, chloroform 및 ethylacetate 분획에서는 발효 전 후에 각각 $8.15{\pm}0.60{\sim}9.16{\pm}0.71%$와 $9.81{\pm}1.26{\sim}12.96{\pm}0.97%$로서 저해효과가 크지 않았으나, n-butanol과 aqueous 분획에서는 발효 전 후에 각각 $28.68{\pm}0.86{\sim}56.34{\pm}5.55%$와 $28.32{\pm}2.87{\sim}64.52{\pm}5.50%$로서 비교적 큰 폭으로 콜레스테롤의 합성을 저해하였다. Tyrosinase 활성억제효과도 발효 후에 약간 증가하는 경향이었다. 기질로서 L-tyrosine을 사용하였을 경우, 극성이 큰 aqueous 분획에서 발효 전 후에 각각 $60.58{\pm}4.035$와 $63.35{\pm}4.35%$로서 저해활성이 가장 높았으며, 양성대조군(arbutin, $100{\mu}g/ml$)의 72%에 달하는 활성이었다. 또한 기질로서 L-DOPA을 사용하였을 경우에도 aqueous 분획에서 발효 전 후에 각각 $56.85{\pm}1.57%$와 $59.38{\pm}1.74%$로서 저해활성이 가장 높았으며 양성대조군(kojic acid, $100{\mu}g/ml$)의 88% 이상의 높은 활성을 가지고 있었다. 전체적으로 발효 아이스플랜트의 중성지방 및 콜레스테롤 합성억제 효과, tyrosinase 활성억제효과는 대체로 발효 전에 비하여 다소 향상되었다. 특히 극성이 큰 용매의 분획추출물에서 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 발효 등의 다양한 가공방법이 개발되어 저장성과 활용도가 높아질 수 있는 계기가 되기를 기대한다.

본 연구는 이팝나무 잎의 용매분획물을 이용하여 DPPH 소거 작용, 환원력과 같은 항산화 활성과 tyrosinase 저해 활성을 실험한 결과 에틸 아세테이트 분획물에서 높은 항산화 및 tyrosinase 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 따라서 silica gel column chromatography와 MPLC를 이용하여 그 활성물질을 분리하였으며, 분리한 화합물은 $^1H$, $^{13}C$-NMR 및 2DNMR을 이용하여 luteolin-4'-O-glucoside로 구조동정을 하였다. 분리한 luteolin-4'-O-glucoside와 기존 항산화제와의 비교실험에서 DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성과 환원력은 시료의 농도가 증가함에 따라 활성이 증가하였다. 순수하게 분리한 luteolin-4'-O-glucoside를 이용하여 tyrosinase 저해 활성도 농도 의존적이었으며, $IC_{50}$ 값은 23.2 ${\mu}g/mL$로 나타났다. 그러므로 luteolin-4'-O-glucoside는 식품첨가물로 항산화제로서의 활용도 및 미백효과를 지니는 기능성 화장품원료로서 이용가치가 높을 것으로 생각된다.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor neurological disorder in which the primary symptom is a compelling urge to move the legs, accompanied by unpleasant and disturbing sensations in the legs. Although pathophysiologic mechanism of RLS is still unclear, several evidences suggest that RLS is related to dysfunction in central nervous system involving brain and spinal cord. L-DOPA, as the precursor of dopamine, as well as dopamine agonists, plays an essential role in the treatment of RLS leading to the assumption of a key role of dopamine function in the pathophysiology of RLS. Patients with RLS have lower levels of dopamine in the substantia nigra and respond to iron administration. Iron, as a cofactor in dopamine production, plays a central role in the etiology of RLS. Functional neuroimaging studies using PET and SPECT support a central striatal D2 receptor abnormality in the pathophysiology of RLS. Functional MRI suggested a central generator of periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMs) in RLS. However, to date, we have no direct evidence of pathogenic mechanisms of RLS.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the gait characteristics in Parkinson's disease patients. Specifically, the total stance time and the ratio of each stance phase (heel strike, mid-stance, propulsion) are analyzed from the foot-pressure measurement system which requires low cost and small space compared to the conventional gait analysis system. The gait characteristics were analyzed in 23 Parkinson's disease patients (before and after L-dopa medication), 34 elderly (sixties) normal subjects and 21 young (twenties) normal subjects. Bradykinesia global score (self-developed score of slowness of body movement) of patients before medication was determined to see the relationship between the score and the gait characteristics. The total stance time was greater in the erde. of patients, elderly, youngs (p<0.05). The phase ratio of heel strike and propulsion was smaller and that of mid-stance was greater in the order of patients, elderly, youngs (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the above gait characteristics of patients before and after medication. There was a tendency, though statistically non-significant, that the total stance time is longer and the propulsion phase ratio is shorter in patients with greater Bradikinesia global scale, and this tendency was relieved after medication.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate whitening effects and anti-wrinkle effects of a few 80% ethanol extracted herbal medicines. Methods : In the first study, a few 80% ethanol extracted herbal medicines were screened for their inhibitory activities against the tyrosinase. In the second study, a few 80% ethanol extracted herbal medicines were screened for their inhibitory activities against elastase. Results : 1. We showed 28%, 27% and 19% inhibitions of mushroom tyrosinase at 500 $\mu$g/ml concentration of ASR, AIF and ABR extracts and they were showed higher anti-tyrosinase activity than arbutin's. We also could observe that the decreased mushroom tyrosinase activities in RR, CML, LR, AGR and TH extracts. 2. RR, AF and ABR (final concentrstion 1 mg/ml) were appeared 60%, 98%, 83% of inhibitions of elastase activity, and they were showed higher anti-elastase activity than that of ursolic acid. We also could observe that the decreased elastase activities in AIF, AR, LR and CML extracts. Conclusions : These results suggest that ASR, AIF and ABR extracts contribute to the anti-melanin activities and represent potential sources of whitening agent, and RR, AF and ABR extracts contribute to the anti-elastase activities and represent potential sources of anti-wrinkle agent. These results suggest that some herbal medicines could be strong potential sources of inhibition about anti-aging and whitening effects for the skin.

The present study investigated the effects of (-)-sesamin on dopamine biosynthesis in PC12 cells. Treatment with (-)-sesamin (25 and $50{\mu}M$) increased intracellular dopamine levels and enhanced L-DOPA-induced increase in dopamine levels in PC12 cells. (-)-Sesamin (25 and $50{\mu}M$) also induced the phosphorylation of cyclic AMP-dependent kinase A (PKA), cyclic AMP-response element binding protein (CREB) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in PC12 cells. These results suggest that (-)-sesamin induces dopamine biosynthesis via the PKA-CREB-TH pathways in PC12 cells. (-)-Sesamin needs to be studied further to serve as an adjuvant phytonutrient in neurodegenerative disease.

Objectives : This study was designed to investigate the collagen metabolism and tyrosinase activity of Angelicae Gigantis Radix extracts (AGR). Methods : The effect of AGR on type I procollagen production and collagenase activity in human normal fibroblasts HS68 after UVB (312 nm) irradiation was measured by ELISA method. The tyrosinase activity after treatment of AGR was measured. Results : Type I procollagen production was recovered by AGR in UVB damaged HS68 cells. The increased collagenase activity after UVB damage was significantly recovered by AGR and the tyrosinase activity was significantly reduced. However, the L-DOPA oxidation was not changed. Conclusion : AGR showed the anti-wrinkle effects and whitening effects in vitro. These results suggest that AGR may have potential as an anti-aging ingredient in cosmetic herbs.

Objective : This experimental study was preformed to investigate the effect of ethanol extract of Belamcandae Rhizoma (EBR) on dermal bioactive properties related to cosmeceuticals such as radical scavenging activity and depigmentation. Methods : The free radical scavenging activity of EBR was assayed in cell free systems using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Antibacterial potency was measured by the size of inhibition zone with change of volume. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay and tyrosinase activity was assessed using L-DOPA. Results : EBR showed slightly radical scavenging activity and protected against UVB-induced cell cytotoxicity. Futhermore, EBR showed antibacterial activities on S. epidermidis and S. aureus. Although the proliferation of B16/F10 cells was decreased by EBR, necrosis was not revealed. EBR augmented tyrosinase activity and dendrite outgrowth in B16/F10 cells. Conclusions : These results suggest that EBR has antioxidative ＆ antibacterial activities, and stimulate melanogenesis.

Objectives : Draconis Resina (DR), the resin of Daemonorops draco Bl., is used to circulate the blood and to stop bleeding. It also has been used to generate flesh including ulceration. The present study investigated the effects of DR extract on collagen metabolism in human fibroblasts and tyrosinase activity in mushroom tyrosinase.Methods : The effect of DR extract on type I procollagen production (collagen type I synthesis) and collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-1, henceforth referred as MMP-1) activity in human normal fibroblasts cell line. Hs68 cells after ultraviolet B (UVB, 312 nm) irradiation was measured using the enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The tyrosinase activity was also measured to find out the whitening effects in mushroom tyrosinase by ELISA method.Results : There was no cytotoxicity at DR extract at concentrations of 10 μg/ml, 30 μg/ml, and 100 μg/ml. DR extract significantly inhibited the increase of collagenase activity, whereas it did not show on the reduction of type I procollagen in UVB damaged Hs68 cells. DR extract did not reduce the L - DOPA oxidation. However, it significantly reduced the tyrosinase activity by DR extract at concentraions of 0.1 mg/ml, 1 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml.Conclusions : In conclusion, DR showed the anti-wrinkle and whitening effects via the inhibition of collagenase production and the tyrosinase activity. These results suggest that DR may have potential as an anti-aging ingredient in cosmetic herb markets.
