The effect of the developed symmetric upper extremity motion trainer on the cortical activation pattern was investigated in three chronic hemiparetic patients using both fMRI and Fugl-Meyer test. The training program was performed at 1 hr/day, 5 days/week during 6 weeks. Fugl-Meyer tests were performed every two weeks during the training. fMRI was performed at 3T scanner with wrist flexion-extension in two different tasks before and after the training program: the only unaffected hand movement (Task 1) and passive movements of affected hand by the active movement of unaffected hand (Task 2). fMRI studies in Task 1 showed that cortical activations decreased in ipsilateral SMC but increased in contralateral SMC. Task 2 showed cortical reorganizations in bilateral SMC, PMA and SMA. Therefore, it seems that the cortical reorganization in chronic hemiparetic patients can be induced by the training with the developed symmetric upper extremity motion trainer.

Two lignanes, Comp.-I, mp 108-1$0^{\circ}C$ and Comp.-II, mp 50-52$^{\circ}C$ were isolated from Korean ginseng extract by repeated column chromatographic purification. Comp-1 was identified as gomisin-N and Comp. -II as gomisin-A by spectrometric analysis, both of which have already been described as the anti-hepatotoxic lignin components of Schizandra chinensis Bail.

The causal organism of Phytophthora disease on Panax ginseng Meyer in Korea was isolated and identified as Phytophthora cactorum. It's pathogenicity, etiology, and possible control measures were investigated. Disease symptoms on various parts of ginseng plants were also described The fungus caused seedling and mature plant blight and root rot. Oospores were easily formed on potato dextrose agar and corn meal agar. Oospores, however, were not formed in the diseased root tissues but did in the in footed shoots such as leaves, petioles, and stems and in the inoculated berries.

Some of the dammarane-type saponins. ginsenosides of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (Araliaceae) are now well established as a potent chemotherapeutic agent against a wide variety of aliments. Its various pharmacological and biological activities have been thoroughly reviewed (S. Shibata, 2001). The limited supply of the drug from the original source. the hairy root of the Panax ginseng promoted intense efforts to develop alternate sources and means of production. (omitted)

인삼의 효능 및 유효성분에 관한 수많은 문헌 및 연구사례가 보고 되어 있음에도 불구하고 인삼의 주성분인 ginsenosides의 합성경로나 그와 관련된 유전인자에 대하여서는 거의 밝혀져 있지 않다. 인삼의 생리적 특성규명 및 ginsenosides의 생합성 경로를 밝히기 위한 한 방법으로써 프로테옴 분석이 시도되었다. 본지에서는 고려인삼 (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer)을 대상으로 이루어진 최근의 프로테옴 분석 및 이차 대사산물의 생산과 연관된 유전인자를 찾기 위하여 이루어진 인삼의 기능유전체 분석을 소개하고자 한다.

Effects of plant growth regulators on the germination of ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) seeds were investigated. Ginseng seeds germinated more vigorously in the treatments of kinetin and BA, and the promoting effect of kinetic on the germination and the growth of rootlet enhanced in low temperature ($10^{\circ}C$). However, GA did not promote the germination of dehiscent seed. The optimum temperature for germination of dehiscent seed was $10^{\circ}C$ and the range of effective concentration of kinetin for germination was 50 to 100 ppm.

We studied the chloroplast rearrangement, short-term regulation depending on the light conditions in plants, and the characteristic of photosynthic rate as affected by in Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer. The chloroplast rearrangement of ginseng mesophyll cell was induced with the irradiation of blue light (400~500 nm) and through this process the rate of leaf transmittance increased 5~7.5%. The time to reach the maximum value of photosynthesis was shorter above 20 minutes with the blue light irradiation than that of the red light.

We investigated the effect of antioxidants (ascorbate, glutathione, and sodium azide), which efEectively inhibited the chlorophyll bleaching of Panax ginseng CA Meyer under the high light intensity, treated by folilar wiping on the early stage of photosynthesis and transpiration of ginseng in the 5000 $\mu$mol photon.$m^{-2}$.$s^{-1}$. Ascorbate and glutathione, endogenous antioxidant, completely recovered ginseng from the photoinhibition, but sodium azide, synthetic quencher, showed negative effect. We assumed that endogenous antioxidants could be available to the protection of the leaf-burning phenomenon of ginseng.

Specific activities of ADC and ODC from 2-4 year old ones were higher than that from seedlings whereas those activities were not changed significantly from 2 to 4 years. Generally, activity of ADC was predorminant compared to that of ODC. Free arginine content in roots was much higher than that of leaves. And arginase specific activity from roots was higher than that of leaves. Cumulative results suggest that putrscine formation from ornithine in roots may be more effective than leaves and contribute to putrescine biosynthesis to some extract.

Curde $\beta$-amylase was prepared by frationation of the water extracts from Korean ginseng, Panax Ginseng C.A. Meyer, with 0.2-0.6 saturation of ammonium sulfate. The enzyme showed the typical properties of $\beta$-amylase, producing only maltase from starch. The enzyme preparation also showed no maltase activity. The enzyme was stable at the pH 5-9 and at the temperature below $40^{\circ}C$. The enzyme showed the optimum pH at 5.0 and the optimum temperature at $35^{\circ}C$. Its activities had proportional relations with substrate concentration below 12 mg%, showing Km V slues of 4.76 mg%. The enzyme was inhibited by $Ag^{+}$, $Hg^{++}$, $Cd^{++}$, $Cu^{++}$,$ Al^{3+}$, and $Fe^{3+}$.
