마늘과 한약재 추출물이 20% 알코올을 섭취한 흰쥐의 간기능 및 지질대사에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실험군은 기본식이(Normal), 기본식이+알코올 투여(Control), 알코올투여+마늘 추출물 0.5%+한약재 추출물 1.0%(GP-I), 알코올투여+마늘 추출물 1.0%+한약재 추출물 1.0%(GP-II)로 하였다. 마늘과 한약재 추출물의 급이 시 혈당은 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소되었으나, 마늘 첨가량에 따른 유의차는 적었다. 알부민 함량은 마늘 첨가량에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였다. 혈청 중 총 지질, 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방 함량은 마늘과 한약재 추출물의 급이 시 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방 함량은 마늘의 첨가량에 따른 유의차가 없었다. LDL-콜레스테롤은 대조군에 비해 GP-I군에서는 약 58%, GP-II군에서는 73% 정도 감소되어, 혈중 지질 함량의 변화 중 가장 큰 폭으로 감소되었다. 간조직의 지질 함량 변화는 혈액과 비슷한 경향이었으며, GP-II군에서 유의적으로 감소되었다. 알코올 투여로 혈청 GOT 및 r-GTP 활성은 정상군에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였으나, GPT 및 ALP 활성은 유의차가 적었다. 마늘과 한약재 추출물의 급이로 GOT, GPT 및 r-GTP 활성은 유의적으로 감소되었으나, ALP 활성은 모든 실험군 간에 유의차가 없었다. 마늘과 한약재 추출물의 급이에 따른 TBARS 함량은 혈액에서 유의차가 없었으나, 간 조직에서는 마늘 첨가량에 따라 유의적으로 감소되었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거에 의한 항산화활성은 혈액 및 간 조직에서 마늘의 첨가량에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였다. 따라서 마늘과 한약재 추출물의 급이는 알코올성 간 기능 개선 및 예방에 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

Biological activity of phenolic compounds in seeds and leaves of safflower (Carthamu tinctorius L.) were evaluated using several in vitro and in vivo assays. Six phenolic constituents were isolated from the seeds and identified as N-feruloylserotonia, N- (p-coumaroyl)serotonin, matairesinol, 8′-hydroxyarctigenin, acacetin 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucoside (tilianine) and acacetin. Six phenolic compounds exhibited considerable antioxidative activity, and especially two serotonins showed potent DPPH radical scavenging activity and antiperoxidative activity against rat liver microsomal lipid peroxidation induced by the hydroxyl radical generated via a Fenton-type reaction. Additionally, six phenolic compounds possessed comparable cytotoxicity against three cancer cells, Hela cell, MCF-7 and HepG2 cell, and particularly acacetin and its glycosides had the most potent cytotoxicity. Moreover, we found that feeding safflower seeds attenuated bone loss, and lowered levels of plasma and liver lipids in ovariectomized rats. Serotonins, lignans and flavones stimulated proliferation of the osteoblast-like cells in a dose-dependent manner (10$^{-15}$ ~10$^{-6}$ M), as potently as E$_2$ (17$\beta$-estradiol). Particularly, serotonins were mainly responsible for bone-protecting and lipid lowering effects in ovariectomized rats. Meanwhile, eight flavonoids, including a novel quercetin-7-O-(6"-O-acetyl)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside and seven kown flavonoids, luteolin quercetin, luteolin 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside, luteolin-7-O-(6"-O-acetyl)-$\beta$-D-gluco-pyranoside, quercetin 7-O- -glucopyranoside, acacetin 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucuronide and apigenin-6-C-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl-8-C-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside were first isolated and identified from safflower leaf. Among these flavonoids, luteolin-acetyl-glucoside and $\beta$quercetin- acetyl-glucoside showed potent antioxidative activities against 2-deoxyribose degradation and lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes. Luteolin, quercetin and their corresponding glycosides also exhibited strong antioxidative activity, while acacetin glucuronide and apigenin-6, 8-di-C-glucoside were relatively less active. Finally, changes in phenolic compositions were also determined by HPLC in the safflower seed and leaf during growth stages and roasting process to produce standardized supplement powerds. These results suggest that phenolic compounds in the roasted safflower seed and leaf may be useful as potential sources of therapeutic agents against several pathological disorders such as carcinogenesis, atherosclerosis and osteoporosis.

Though, these days there are increasing many patient of insomnia, there was not considered literatual study on insomnia. So, the result of consideration about cause and process of insomnia from thirty kinds of literatures, are as follows. 1. Early literature like Huangjaenankyung(黃帝內經), Sanghanron(傷寒論) reffered to insomnia as accompanying symptom. on the other hand, Myung(明), Chung(淸)'s literatures reffered to that as chief symptom or distinguished chief symptom from accompanying symptom. 2. There were tendency of deductive expanding of various masters and tendency of induction of simple theory that was based on Huangjaenankyung(黃帝內經). 3. Huangjaenankyung(黃帝內經) showed basic process of the sleep disorder that 'exhausting of Yin and excess of Yang (陰盡陽盛)', protecting energy does not invade Yin portion(陽氣不入於陰). And Huangjaenankyung(黃帝內經) showed cause of insomnia that deficiency of vital energy and blood, imbalanced of spleen and stomach, a fever as a invasion in the outside, lung system's disease. This became a basic cause and process of the sleep disorder in ancient period. 4. Sanghanron(傷寒論) occurred to insomnia as accompanying symptom in progress, remedy of a fever invaded outside, Kumkyeyoriak showed as origination in weakness, fatique, various diseases. Out of that, there is a significance in description of insomnia from some disease like histery or neurosis. 5. Jaebyungwonhuron(諸病源候論), Chunkumbang(千金方), Kukbangseo(局方書.) occured to a fire of heart(心慤) and a deficiency of heart and gall bladder(心膽虛) in defails. Insomnia is caused by agony of seven emotion, delivering of a child, are similar to insomnia is caused by psychologic disorders. Injaesanghanyusu(仁劑傷寒類書) occured to exhausting of Yin and excess of Yang (陰盡陽盛), imbalanced of stomach(胃不和) invasion of coldness(傷寒) are brought a conclusion of assumption of sap(津液耗損) brought about unreturn of yin energy. 6. Manbyunghuechum(萬病回春) in Myung period (明代) made much of portion of phlegm's influence about spiritual function. Kyungakjunsu(景岳全書) valued much of treatment divided according to excess and deficiency. Junginmaekchi(證因脈治) occurred to concept of pyorihesil(表裏虛實), Dongyibokam(東醫寶鑑) synthesised various theories. 7. Hyuljungron(血證論), Byunjungkimun(辨證奇聞), Suksilbirok(石室秘錄) made much of surprisemeni(驚恐) Consideration(思慮), liver's dryness(肝燥) is caused by liver's weakness(肝虛), imbalance of haert -kidney(心腎不交), seven emotion(七情). Especially, ftyujungchijae(類證治載) said that heart, liver, gall-bladder, kidney, surprisment, consideration baought to a conclusion of inbalance of Yang and Yin (陽不交陰). There is a tendency in literature mostly that literature showed separation of insomnia as a chief symptom. 8. These days there are increasing many patient of insomnia. So, it is needed to study about insomnia as a psychologic disease. Saying in conclusion, it is needed that we have to recognize in modern style based on ancient style of cause and process of insomnia. It is regarded to study about insomnia definitely and experimently.

Soybean polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PC) is thought to exert anti-inflammatory activities and has potent effects in attenuating acute renal failure and liver dysfunction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of PC in protecting multiple organ injury (MOI) from lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Six groups of rats (N=8) were used in this study. Three groups acted as controls and received only saline, hydrocortisone (HC, 6 mg/kg, i.v.) or PC (600 mg/kg, i.p.) without LPS (15 mg/kg, i.p.) injections. Other 3 groups, as the test groups, were administered saline, HC or PC in the presence of LPS. Six hours after the LPS injection, blood and organs (lung, liver and kidney) were collected from each group to measure inflammatory cytokines and perform histopathology and myeloperoxidase (MPO) assessment. Serum cytokines (TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and IL-10) and MPO activities were significantly increased, and significant histopathological changes in the organs were observed by LPS challenge. These findings were significantly attenuated by PC or HC. The treatment with PC or HC resulted in a significant attenuation on the increase in serum levels of TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6, pro-inflammatory cytokines, while neither PC nor HC significantly attenuated serum levels of IL-10, anti-inflammatory cytokine. In the organs, the enhanced infiltration of neutrophils and expression of ED2 positive macrophage were attenuated by PC or HC. Inductions of MPO activity were also significantly attenuated by PC or HC. From the findings, we suggest that PC may be a functional material for its use as an anti-inflammatory agent.

The aim of this study was to clarify the origins of grubs which were used in the experiments, and to determine many other effects that are now written in the classical medical and herbal books. We compared the efficacy of grubs written in the herbal and medical books on the one hand, and studied the origins of grubs used in the experiments, on the other hand. The following results were obtained. There are three kinds of grub species for medicinal uses. Holorichia diomphalia Bates mainly produced in China, Cetoniidae species mainly produced in Korea, and Protaeria brevitarsis in Korean folk remedy are three species. Grubs were used in 25 experiments. Of these experiments, Holotrichia diomphalia were used 12 times, Larve of Protaeria brevitarsis 3 times, and Protaetia orientalis was used once. So, of total 25 experiments, 36%(9 experiments) did not clarify the origins of grubs used in the experiments. Currently, the grubs, which are imported from China and used in Korea, are Holotrichia diomphalia Bates from China. Current experimental study shows that grubs have efficacy for protecting liver. So the use of grubs in folk medicine is believed to be based on the scientific evidence. Efficacy of grubs, though it is not recorded in the medical books, has the effects of anti-cancer(anti-tumor), antioxidant, and anti-diabetes mellitus. The ingredients of Holotrichia are protein, peptide, fat, enzyme, mineral, and other several nutrients. Study on the grubs so far has a tendency to be done with little focus on the differen of origin of grubs. So, from now on, it needs that the origin of grubs be clarified, and the study on the efficacy from each origin be done. Considering the effects that the classical herbal books have recorded, it is necessary that more profound study proceed to prevent and treat diseases on eyes and ears, on the basis of the fact that grub has multiple ingredients to replenish the vital essence.

On the assumption that the supplementation of certain nutrients or foods to the rice diet (low protein, low fat, and low vitamins) may decrease, to some extent, the degree of suffering from abnormal environments, such as vibration, noises, gases, dusts, smog etc. a series of experiments were started. As the first report the nutrition under vibration was studied in this experiment. Sixty (60) young growing male rats weighing about 65 grams were used, grouping to five (5) groups, twelve (12) rats each group. They were fed on the following five (5) experimental diets: rice diet (basal diet), rice diet+casein, rice diet+vitamins, rice $diet+{\alpha}-tocopherol$, and rice diet+ginseng powder (see the tables 1 and 2) for the period of 14 weeks experiment. During the experiment period the half number of the rats of each group were exposed to the three (3) hours vibration every day. The protective effect of each diet against the vibration may be summarized as follows. 1. The growth of rice diet group was impaired significantly under vibration, However, those of other groups (protein-supplemented, vitamin-supplemented, ${\alpha}-tocopherol-supplemented$ and ginseng-supplemented groups) were impaired much less compared with rice diet group. 2. The feed efficiency of the rice diet group was decreased significantly under vibration. It is estimated that the biological availability of nutrients was impaired under this environment. On the other hand, the feed efficiencies of protein supplemented, of vitamin supplemented, and of ginseng supplemented groups were not decreased under vibration, statistically. 3. There is tendency that the food spillages of vibration groups are higher than those of non-vibration groups. Especially it seems true in the case of rice diet group. The food spillage may be, to some extent, related with mental nervousness of animals. From the point that the food spillage of ginseng supplemented group is significantly lower than those of other groups it is thought ginseng acts some good role in protecting nervous system from suffering from vibration. 4. In all groups except protein supplemented group, liver fat of vibration group tends to be higher than that of non-vibration group. 5. It shows that, in general, the serum alkaline phosphatase activity of the vibration group is significantly higher than that of the non-vibration group. It seems that there may be, to some extent, corelation between the amount of liver fat and serum alkaline phosphatase activity. 6. There is tendency that, in rice diet group, the organs of vibration group are smaller than those of non-vibration group, especially lung is so. It is thought that this may be due to the poor growth of whole body size in vibration group.

김치유산균추출물의 비만억제 및 지질 저하 효과를 20%(w/w) 고지방식이를 섭취시킨 횐 쥐에서 살펴보았다. 제한식이를 하였음에도 불구하고 HFD의 체중은 ND에 비해 약 50%증가 하였고, HFK10 및 HFK20에서는 HFD에 비해 각각 13%그리고 15%(p<0.01) 감소하였다. HFD의 복부지방의 함량은 ND에비해 98% 증가하였고(p<0.01), HFK10 및 HFK20에 서 각각 42%, 48% 유의적으로 감소하여(p<0.01) 체중 저하 효과 보다 복부지방 축적을 억제하는 효과가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 혈장 중성지방의 농도는 HFD가 ND에 비해 약 55% 증가하였고(p<0.01), HFK10 및 HFK20은 HFD에 비해 26%, 및 35% 농도 의존적으로 감소하였다(p<0.01). 혈장 총 콜레스테롤 농도 역시 HFK10 및 HFK20에서 농도의존적으로 유의적인 감소를 보였고(p<0.01) LDL 농도는 HFD가 ND보다 61% 정도 증가하였고(p<0.01), HFK10 및 HFK20에서 약 8%, 33%감소하여(p<0.01)총 콜레스테롤 보다 LDL의 감소가 더 현저하였다. HDL은 증가하여 김치유산균추출물의 첨가에 의한 지질 개선 효과가 관찰되었다. 김치 유산균 추출물의 간 기능 개선 효과는 고지방 식이에 의해 유발된 지방간 현상으로 정상대조군에 비해 상승되었던 혈장 AST 및 ALT 활성이 감소됨으로서 관찰되었다. 분변의 지방농도를 HFD와 HFK10 및 HFK20간에 비교하였을 때 중성지방 농도는 각 62%와 111% 정도 현저하게 증가하였고, 콜레스테롤 농도는 HFK20에서 약 31% 정도 증가하였다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과에서 사균의 형태인 김치유산균 추출물은 비만을 억제하고 혈장 지질을 저하시키는 효과가 있음이 확인되었으며, 간 기능 보호효과도 확인되었다. 이러한 김치유산균 추출물의 효과는 장내에서 지방의 흡수를 억제하기 때문으로 생각된다.

아세트아미노펜(APAP)으로 유도된 간독성 모델에 미치는 잔대를 주재료로 하는 추출물(ATJH)의 간보호 효능을 관찰하기 위하여 동물모델에서 혈청 간기능 지표효소의 활성도를 측정하고 조직학적인 변화를 관찰하였다. APAP를 투여한 동물군은 ALT와 AST활성을 현저하게 증가시켰다. ATJH를 1000 mg/kg의 용량으로 3일간 전투여한 후 APAP로 간 독성을 유도한 동물은 증가된 AST, ALT활성을 약 60-80% 감소시켰으며, 500 mg/kg의 용량으로 장기간(7일간) 전투여한 동물에서도 APAP독성방어효과가 현저하였다. APAP를 고농도(450 mg/kg)로 투여하여 간손상에 의한 사망을 유도한 동물군에서 ATJH는 생존율을 대조군에 비하여 130% 증가시켰다. APAP 단독 투여한 군에서 80-90% 정도 간세포 괴사가 관찰되었으나 ATJH(500, 1000 mg/kg)를 3일간 전투여 한 군에서는 간조직 손상이 억제되었다. 동물모델에서 ATJH에 의한 간독성 방어효능의 기전을 연구하기 위하여 간세포에서 제2상 해독화 효소인 GST의 단백 발현 변화를 면역화학적으로 관찰하였다. ATJH는 농도의존적으로 GSTA2, GSTA3/5의 단백 발현을 유의성있게 유도하였다. 본 연구에서는 잔대를 주원료로 한 추출물이 간세포의 해독화효소의 발현을 증가시킴으로서 APAP에 의해 유발된 간손상을 억제함을 처음으로 증명하였고, 간조직 보호를 위한 화학적 예방 효능을 갖는 활성물질로서 ATJH의 가능성을 제시한다.

In Korea, China, and Japan, Paeonia lactiflora Pall (PL) has been used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis, and fever for more than 1200 years. It has been reported that PL has protective effects against $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress and LPS-induced liver inflammation. However cellular and molecular mechanism of PL protection against oxidative stress has not fully been elucidated. Here, we describe that the water-soluble extract of PL decreased $H_2O_2$-induced hepatotoxicity. This hepatoprotective effect of PL is reason to decrease the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increase expression of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) which proteins are involved in protecting the cells from stress like as oxidative stress. We also elucidated that hepatoprotective effect of PL was abolished by knock down of HO-1 and HSP72 by siRNA. These results suggest that the increasing of HO-1 and HSP72 protein by PL treatment might be participated in hepatoprotective effect against oxidative stress such as $H_2O_2$.
