The purpose of this study was to identify the applicability, main compounds, and target genes of Cnidii Fructus (CF) in the treatment of gastritis using network pharmacology. The compounds in CF were searched in Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and a database of medicinal materials and chemical compounds in Northeast Asian traditional medicine (TM-MC). The target gene information of the compounds was collected from pubchem and cross-compared with the gastritis-related target gene information collected from Genecard to derive the target genes. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were performed on the derived target genes. Afterwards, network analysis between compounds and disease target genes was performed using cytoscape. We identified 121 active compounds and 139 target genes associated with gastritis. Pathways derived from the GO biological process and KEGG pathway DB primarily focus on target genes related to inflammation (IL-6, IL-8, TNF production, NF-κB transcription factor activity, and NF-κB signaling pathway) and cell death (PI3K-Akt, FoxO). Major targets for CF treatment of gastritis include TP53, TNF, BCL2, EGFR, NFKB1, ABCB1, PPARG, PTGS2, IL6, IL1B, and SOD1, along with major compounds such as coumarin, osthol, hexadecanoic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and stigmasterol. This study provided CF's applicability for gastritis, related compounds, and target information. Evaluating CF's effectiveness in a preclinical gastritis model suggests its potential use in clinical practice for digestive system diseases.

This study analyzed contents of organic acids, free sugars, and volatile flavor compounds by type of Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.). Organic acids in dried Jerusalem artichoke were mainly composed of malic acid, citric acid, and succinic acid. Sucrose, fructose, and glucose were the major sugar components of dried Jerusalem artichoke. Free sugars were more abundant in the white colored sample than in the purple colored sample. In contrast, purple colored sample contained more organic acids than the white colored one. Volatile compounds in Jerusalem artichoke were investigated using the solid-phase micro-extraction method of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. A total of 117 volatile compounds were identified in Jerusalem artichoke, and chemical classification was as follows: 5 acids, 13 alcohols, 19 aldehydes, 12 hydrocarbons, 15 ketones, 8 miscellaneous, 27 pyrazines, and 18 terpenes in all samples. Terpene was the most abundant in Jerusalem artichoke, and ${\beta}$-bisabolene was the main component in terpenes. The second most common compound was aldehyde, and hexanal was the highest.

Garlic(Allium sativum L.) is one of the oldest cultivated plants and has been used throughout the world as food supplement and folk medicine for thousands of years. In modem times a number of garlic derived products are introduced on the market as health food supplement in ever growing scale. In 1844 German chemist Wertheim investigated the garlic first time chemically and thereafter many kinds of organosulfur compounds were isolated and their biological activities were elucidated scientifically. The main biological activities are antibacterial, antifungal, antithrombotic, cholesterol-lowering, antineoplastic and hepatoprotective activities. Chemical works as well as therapeutic and preventive effects of garlic are reviewed.

Three ring type liquid crystalline compounds having 4-alklycyclohexyl group, 1,2-difluorobenzene and phenylisothiocyanate moieties as main skeleton were designed to have negative dielectricity. However, the compounds with 2,3,2'-trifluoro-3'-isothiocyanated biphenylcyclohexane core did not exhibit the nematic liquid crystalline phase because of two conformers by interaction of isothiocyanate and adjacent fluorine atoms. Also, 4-alkyl-2,2',3'-trifluoro-3-isothiocyanated biphenylcyclohexane core was designed expecting to have uniform conformers of isothiocyanate group. In the course of developing polyimides for VA mode LCD, we synthesized alkyl-3,5-diaminobenzene efficiently with various length of alkyl chains from commercially available di-t-butyl malonate and 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride as starting material.

Tea is an aqueous infusion of dried leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis L. and is the second most widely consumed beverage around the world after water. Aroma compounds of tea differ largely depending on the manufacturing process, even from the same categories of different origins. The flavor of tea can be divided into two categories: taste (non-volatile compounds) and aroma (volatile compounds). In the present study, we review the formation mechanism of main aromas generated from carotenoids, lipids, glycosides as precursors, and Maillard reaction during the tea manufacturing process, with biological and chemical mechanisms.

Volatile flavor compounds were isolated from the flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum L. (gamguk) produced in Korea and China by the hydro distillation, and were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The yield of oils from Korean and Chinese gamguk were 2.0 and 0.5%(v/w), respectively. Sixty-three volatile compounds of Korean gamguk representing 89.28% of the total peak area were tentatively identified, including 35 hydrocarbons, 12 alcohols, 6 ketones, 3 esters, 5 aldehydes, 1 oxide, and 1 miscellaneous component. Thirty-six volatile components of Chinese gamguk constituted 58.15% of the total volatile composition were tentatively characterized, consisting of 19 hydrocarbons, 7 alcohols, 2 ketones, 2 esters, 4 aldehydes, 1 oxide, and 1 miscellaneous component. The predominant components of Korean oil were ${\alpha}$-pinene, 1,8-cineol, and chrysanthenone. Whereas, camphor, ${\alpha}$-curcumene, and ${\beta}$-sesquiphellandrene were the main aroma compounds of Chinese gamguk.

The effects of different filling materials and stabilizers in polymer based materials that are used as shoe soles in the shoemaking industry on the mechanical properties (strength, failure, tensile, tearing, bending etc.) of the final products have been examined in this study. Natural rubber (NR RSS3) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR 1502) were used as the main matrix material. New compounds were formed by replacing the fillings in the general compound of the existing factory ($SiO_2$, $CaCO_3$) with 40% (1200 g) blast furnace flue dust, rice husk, reclaimed rubber (recycled) and wood ash. Comparison of the new compounds with the existing compounds revealed a decrease in hardness, density, dimension stability, bending, tearing, % elongation and failure strength and an increase in wearing.

Lithospermi radix, the dried roots of Litospermum erythrorhizon Sieboid et Zuccarini (Boraginaceae), has long been used to treat detoxification and inflammation. In this study, we isolated two main quinoid compounds, ${\beta}$-hydroxyisovalerylshikonin (1) and acetylshikonin (2) from L. erythrorhizon. As acetylshikonin is considered as a marker compound of L. erythrorhizon, a rapid analysis method for the simultaneous determination of quinoid compounds including 2 was also developed by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and validation of this analytical method. By the developed method, two quinoid marker compounds (${\beta}$-hydroxyisovalerylshikonin and acetylshikonin) were successfully quantified in 31 commercial samples which were collected from different regions. The contents were 0.20% (${\beta}$-hydroxyisovalerylshikonin) and 0.22% (acetylshikonin), respectively.

In this study, an NF₃ plasma etching reaction with a cobalt oxide (Co₃O₄) films grown on the surface of inorganic compounds using granite was investigated. Experimental results showed that the etching rate can be up to 1.604 mm/min at 380 ℃ under 150 W of RF power. EDS and XPS analysis showed that main reaction product is CoF₂, which is generated by fluorination in NF₃ plasma. The etching rate of cobalt oxide films grown on inorganic compounds in this study was affected by surface roughness and etch selectivity. This study demonstrates that the plasma surface decontamination can effectively and efficiently remove contaminated nuclides such as cobalt attached to aggregate in concrete generated when decommissioning of nuclear power plants.
