These studies were conducted to investigate the alcohol degradation effects of the extract of herbal composition (DTS20) containing Viscum album L., Lycium chinense L., Inonotus obliquus and Acanthopanax senticosus H., on the alcohol administered mice. To investigate anti-hangover effect, alcohol and alcohol dehydrogensae (ADH) concentration of blood were measured after oral administration of ethanol. The administration of DTS20 (200-500 mg/kg) had beneficial actions toward alcohol degradation in acute alcohol treated mice model. The oral administration of DTS20 showed decreased gastric mucous membrane damage produced in ethanol treated mice. In addition, intraperitoneal administration of DTS20 showed anti-inflammatory effects in inhibition tests of vascular permeability produced by acetic acid. DTS20 also reduced the concentration of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ in macrophages that were activated by LPS. These results demonstrate that DTS20 possesses potential to stimulate the alcohol degradation and inhibit the inflammatory effects in mice.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has rapidly escalated in Asia (including Korea) due to increasing westernized diet patterns subsequent to industrialization. Factors associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are demonstrated to be one of the major causes of IBD. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Lycium barbarum (L. barbarum) on ER stress. MATERIALS/METHODS: Mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cell line and polarized Caco-2 human intestinal epithelial cells were treated with crude extract of the L. chinense fruit (LF). Paracellular permeability was measured to examine the effect of tight junction (TJ) integrity. The regulatory pathways of ER stress were evaluated in MEF knockout (KO) cell lines by qPCR for interleukin (IL) 6, IL8 and XBP1 spliced form (XBP1s). Immunoglobulin binding protein (BiP), XBP1s and CCAAT/enhancer-binding homologous protein (CHOP) expressions were measured by RT-PCR. Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM) at high resolution was applied to observe morphological changes after treatments. RESULTS: Exposure to LF extract strengthened the TJ, both in the presence and absence of inflammation. In polarized Caco-2 pretreated with LF, induction in the expression of proinflammatory marker IL8 was not significant, whereas ER stress marker XBP1s expression was significantly increased. In wild type (wt) MEF cells, IL6, CHOP and XBP1 spliced form were dose-dependently induced when exposed to $12.5-50{\mu}g/mL$ extract. However, absence of XBP1 or $IRE1{\alpha}$ in MEF cells abolished this effect. CONCLUSION: Results of this study show that LF treatment enhances the barrier function and reduces inflammation and ER stress in an $IRE1{\alpha}$-XBP1-dependent manner. These results suggest the preventive effect of LF on healthy intestine, and the possibility of reducing the degree of inflammatory symptoms in IBD patients.

효율적인 선발방법으로서 분자표지는 실제적인 고추(Capsicum annuum L.) 육종 과정에 사용되어 왔다. 최근에는 고추의 양적 형질로 알려진 매운맛, 색소 및 당 함량 등에 관한 다수의 유전분석 연구가 세계적으로 수행되고 있다. 또한 양적형질과 연관된 분자표지를 개발하기 위해서는 QTL mapping이 필수적이라고 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하나의 새로운 방법으로, 양친의 NGS resequencing을 통해 고추 유전자지도 상의 위치가 알려져 있는 분자표지를 일부 선발하여 SNP(HRM) 분자표지로 개발한 후 이를 이용하여 고추 유전체 전체를 포함하는 유전자지도 작성을 제안하고자 하였다. 식물재료는 C. annuum 'NB1'(모친)과 C. chinense 'Jolokia'(부친) 및 이들의 $F_2$ 세대 94개체를 사용하였다. 양친에 대해 NGS resequencing을 수행하여 각각 4.6Gbp와 6.2Gbp의 염기서열을 얻었다. 'NB1'과 'Jolokia' 간의 총 SNP 수는 429만개였으며, 그 중 확실한 SNP 수는 176만개였다. 이 중에서 고추 유전자지도 내 위치를 고려하여 145개의 SNP(HRM) 분석용 프라이머를 디자인하였으며, 그 중 116개가 성공적으로 다형성을 보여 유전자지도 작성에 사용되었다. 총 연관거리는 1,167.9cM였고, 연관군 수는 고추의 기본염색체 수와 일치하는 12개였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 제시된 방법은 시간적인 효율성과 예측의 정확성 면에서 새로운 고추 유전자지도 작성에 매우 적합함은 물론 작성된 유전자지도는 양친에서 차이를 보이는 특정 형질에 대한 QTL 분석을 하는데 바로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

This study examined hwangbek dyeability for cotton, silk, and wool from different tree species and origin as well as their berberine and palmatine content. A total of 12 different hwangbek were examined, six purchased directly from different locations of China and six purchased from the Seoul Medicine Market. Hwangbek purchased from China were 3 Kwanhwangbek (Phellodendron amurense Rupr.) from Jilin, Liaoning, Heilongjiang and 3 Chunhwangbek (Phellodendron chinense Schneid.) from Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guangxi. Hwangbek purchased from the Seoul Medicine Market included 3 hwangbek that originated from Korea and 3 hwangbek imported from China. We extracted 2.5g of each hwangbek into 500mL of water for 60 min at $80^{\circ}C$. Dyeing was conducted using the IR dyeing machine for 30min at $55^{\circ}C$ using a 1:100 liquor ratio. Cotton was mordanted using tannic acid followed by potassium antimonyl tartrate trihydrate treatment before dyeing. Berberine and palmatine pigments in hwangbek were identified with the HPLC-DAD-MS instrument and the amount of pigment was quantified using an ion chromatogram. The results indicated that the K/S values of dyed fabrics were highly related to the amount of pigment in hwangbek used for dyeing.

This experiment was performed to investigate the effect of Sinjigolpy-tang on the diabetic rats induced by STZ. After experimental diabets was induced by 55mg/kg of STZ injection, we administered Sinjigolpy-tang extract for 14 days after STZ injection. Glucagon and insulin granules in Langerhans islets were stained by use of immunohistochemical(ABC) method and observed the relative amount of the each granules in Langerhans islet by light microscope and image analysis system. Area % of insulin granules in Langerhans islets in Sinjigolpy-tang increased and showed the statistically significant difference with the control group at 14th day. Area % of glucagon granules in Langerhans islets in Sinjigolpy-tang decreased and showed the statistically significant difference with the control group at 7th and 14th day. It can be inferred that Sinjigolpy-tang has a control effect on glucagon and insulin granules in Langerhans islets of diabetic rats induced by STZ.

In vitro에서 한약 재조성물 메탄올 추출물의 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성을 측정한 결과, 경구 혈당강하제로 사용중인 아카보스 (20.7%)에 비해 높은 저해활성 (25.2%)을 나타내었다. 4주령의 수컷 db/db 마우스 (C57BL/KsJ, n = 14)를 1주간의 적응기간이 지난 후 2군으로 나누어 대조군에게는 AIN-93G diet를 기본으로 한 basal diet를, 실험군에게는 동결건조된 한약재조성물 가루를 식이의 10% 수준으로 함유한 식이를 6주간 제공하였다. 한약 재조성물의 섭취는 실험동물의 체중 및 식이 섭취량에 유의적인 영향을 주지 않았으나 공복 혈당 (442.5 ${\pm}$ 36.0mg/dL)을 대조군 (489.8 ${\pm}$ 34.6mg/dL)에 비해 유의적으로 감소시켰다 (p < 0.05). 또한 한약재조성물 섭취군의 혈장 콜레스테롤 (159.2 ${\pm}$ 18.4mg/dL) 농도는 대조군 (185.4 ${\pm}$ 13.7mg/dL)에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였으며 (p < 0.05), 혈장 중성지방 농도는 한약재 조성물 섭취군 (99.4 ${\pm}$ 15.0mg/dL)이 대조군 (108.8 ${\pm}$11.0mg/dL)에 비해 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 한약 재조성물의 섭취는 당뇨동물모델에 있어서 혈당 및 혈장 콜레스테롤 농도를 감소시켜, 당뇨병 개선 및 당뇨합병증 예방에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

This review deals briefly with the various medicinal components(mainly saikosaponins), their biological activities and the variation of their contents by different cultivation environment and plant parts in Bupleurum species. Bupleuri radix, a crude drug, is the root of Bupleurum falcatum L. (Korea, Japan), B. chinense(China), and their related species (Umbelliferae). There are over 120 species in Bupleurum genus throughout world, mainly Asian area, and over 5 species in Korea, investigated up to now. These plants contain many physiological active compounds and the principal components are saikosaponins. Major activities of this crude drug and saikosaponins are the anti-inflammatory and antihepatotoxic activities. Saikosaponins and their derivatives in Bupleurum spp. have been chemically studied, isolated and identified over 70 compounds in over 50 species. Other components, physiologically active ones, also have been investigated, which are the groups of lignan, flavonoid, essential oil, polyacetylene, polysaccharide, etc. Saikosaponins belong to the group of triterpenoid saponin chemotaxonomically and occur the accumulation and turnover in plant tissues through secondary metabolism, mevalonic acid pathway. The contents and kinds of saikosaponins and other components in Bupleurum spp. plants are various due to different species and growing environments, as the plant growth characters and yield are various. Most of medicinal plants as well as Bupleurum species are very useful as agricultural products and traditional medicines, and also are very valuable as genetic resources and natural products. So we need to collect, evaluate, preserve, and utilize various medicinal plants, and also to under-stand secondary metabolism and improve the breeding and cultivation techniques for the safe production of crude drugs with high quality and yielding.
