  • This objectives of this study were to assess the pH and titratable acid (TA) and conduct sensory evaluation of the high-protein yogurt supplemented with Oxya chinensis sinuosa (grasshopper). High-protein yogurt containing Oxya chinensis sinuosa powder displayed TA of 0.93% to 1.1%, and a pH of 4.3 or 4.4. There were no significant differences between the control and treated groups in pH and TA. Organoleptic evaluations revealed that, except for color and texture, taste, flavor, and overall acceptability showed decreased trends in proportion to the amount of Oxya chinensis sinuosa powder. Further studies will explore the potential of Oxya chinensis sinuosa powder as a protein with health benefits for humans.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to confirm effect of reducing inflammation of Coptis chinensis extract-ceramide complex through the endocannabinoid system (ECS) control in atopic dermatitis. Methods: 8-week-old ICR mice were divided into normal group (Ctrl), lipid barrier elimination group (ADE), palmitoylethanolamide treated group after lipid barrier elimination (PEAT), and Coptis chinensis extract-ceramide complex applied group after lipid barrier elimination (CRA). After inducing atopic dermatitis, cannabinoid receptor (CB) 1, CB2, CD68, p-I𝜅B, iNOS, substance P and serotonin were observed to confirm the regulation of the ECS, macrophage activity and mast cell activity. Results: CB1 and CB2 showed higher positive reactions in the CRA than in the ADE and PEAT. CD68, p-I𝜅B and iNOS showed higher positive reaction in the ADE, PEAT and CRA than in the Ctrl, but the increase in the positive reaction was lower in the CEA compared to the ADE and PEAT. Substance P and serotonin showed higher positive reaction in the ADE, PEAT and CRA than in the Ctrl, but the increase in the positive reaction was lower in the CEA compared to the ADE and PEAT. Conclusions: The effects of Coptis chinensis extract -ceramide complex were confirmed on the regulation of the ECS, macrophage activity and mast cell activity.

  • Objectives: The experiment was to estimate the value of Saengmaegsan as a therapeutic anti-aging agent with an analysis of ingredients and their bio-activating effects by enzymologic methods. Methods: We analyzed anti-aging effects of the ingredients of Saengmaegsan being Liriope Platyphylla, Schizandrae Chinensis, and Schizandrae Chinensis. Results: In Liriope Platyphylla and Schizandrae Chinensis, reducing sugar concentration was shown at the highest level. Of mineral contents, K+ and Na+ were the highest in Saengmaegsan and each ingredient also, and then Ca++ and Al. The amount of polyphenol showed was in order Schizandrae Chinensis > Saengmaegsan > Panax Ginseng > Liriope Platyphylla. The electron donating ability of Schizandrae Chinensis doubled that of Saengmaegsan and Panax Ginseng, at the same time that one per 1 ml in Saengmaegsan was significantly found the greatest level as compared to each single ingredient. SOD-like activity was high in Saengmaegsan and Schizandrae Chinensis. SOD-like activity of Saengmaegsan was higher than in single components. Nitric oxide inhibition in pH 1.2 was high in Saengmaegsan and Schizandrae Chinensis, and for per 1 ml it showed the same pattern as above. In pH 3.0 the result was not different from in pH 1.2. Xanthine oxidase inhibition was high in Schizandrae Chinensis and for per 1 ml showed the greatest activity in Liriope Platyphylla. Tyrosinase inhibition in Omija was the most noticeable, and for per 1 ml was Liriope Platyphylla more than any others. Conclusions: With this analysis of ingredients, it is proven that Saengmaegsan and each component fosters antioxidation. On the whole, the composite prescription Saengmaegsan was superior to each individual component.

  • Korean folk medicine 'Jin Hae Cho' has been used as a remedy for neuralgia and an invigorating drug after a childbirth in Korea. The botanical origin of the crude drug has been no pharmacognostical confirmation on it. To clarify the botanical origin of 'Jin Hae Cho', studied on the morphological and anatomical characteristics of the roots of Potentilla species growing wild in Korea i.e. Potentilla chinensis Ser., P. cryptotaeniae Maxim., P. dickinsii Fr. et Sav., P. discolor Bunge, P. fragarioides L. var. major Maxim., P. freyniana Bornm., P. kleiniana Wight et Arnott, P. paradoxa Nutt., P. yokusaiana Makino and 'Jin Hae Cho' from Korea on Korean market. As a result, it was made clear that 'Jin Hae Cho' from Korea was derived from the roots of Potentilla chinensis Ser. and Potentilla discolor Bunge.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Male hypogonadism is a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone and significantly impacts health. Age, obesity, genetics, and oxidative stress are some physiological factors that may contribute to testosterone deficiency. Previous studies have shown many pharmacological benefits of Schisandra chinensis (S. chinensis) Baillon as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. However, the molecular mechanism of attenuating hypogonadism is yet to be well established. This research was undertaken to study the effects of S. chinensis extract (SCE) on testosterone deficiency. MATERIALS/METHODS: S. chinensis fruit was pulverized and extracted using 60% aqueous ethanol. HPLC analysis was performed to analyze and quantify the lignans of the SCE. RESULTS: The 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) scavenging assays confirmed that the SCE and its major lignans (schisandrol A and gomisin N) inhibit oxidative stress. Effects of SCE analysis on the testosterone level under oxidative stress conditions revealed that both schisandrol A and gomisin N were able to recover the lowered testosterone levels. Through mRNA expression of TM3 Leydig cell, we observed that the SCE lignans were able to induce the enzymes involved in testosterone biosynthesis-related genes such as 3β-HSD4 (P < 0.01 for SCE, and P < 0.001 for schisandrol A and gomisin N), 17β-HSD3 (P < 0.001 for SCE, schisandrol A and gomisin N), and 17, 20-desmolase (P < 0.01 for schisandrol A, and P < 0.001 for SCE and gomisin N). CONCLUSIONS: These results support that SCE and its active components could be potential therapeutic agents for regulating and increasing testosterone production.

  • 황해 서식 대하(P. chinenesis) 각 개체군의 유전 구조를 파악하기 위하여 미토콘드리아 DNA(mtDNA)를 추출한 후 BamHI등 15종의 제한효소를 이용한 제한효소 절편 다형 현상 (Restriction Fragment Length Polymer-phisms; RFLPs)을 분석하였으며 보리새우 (P. japonicus)와의 염기 치환 정도를 비교하기 위하여 일본 나가사키 1 집단의 절편 양상도 함께 분석하였다. 한국의 대천, 진도, 나로도 집단과 중국의 발해, 청도 집단 등 5개 집단을 분석한 결과, 대하에서는 3종의 haplotype이 발견되었으나 5개 집단 모두가 하나의 haplotype에 의해 지배되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 나타난 변이는 2종류로 Cla I과 Pvu II 인식부위가 부가된 변이가 청도와 나로도 집단에서 출현하였을 뿐 전 집단에 대한 나머지 13종의 제한 효소 절편 양상은 모두 동일한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과에서 보면 황해산 대하의 각 집단 사이에는 활발한 유전자 교류가 있는 것으로 판단되며, 3개 계군에 대한 지금까지의 구분은 재검토되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 대하와 보리새우의 mtDNA 공통절편을 이용한 p 값에 의한 염기치환은 $13.7\%$ 정도인 것으로 나타났으며, 제한 효소별 절편의 크기를 비교한 결과 대하의 mtDNA의 크기는 평균 16.44kb였고 보리새우는 약 16.31kb였다.

  • Saururus Chinensis Baill (Saururaceae) has been used as folk medicine for analgesics, beriberi, edema, hepatitis, and icterus, etc. Hepatoprotective effects of Saururus chinensis Baill (SCB) administration on function of the biochemical parameters in liver of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) treated rats were investigated. After 7 days from TCDD(1$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg) injection, SCB(200mg/kg) was administered into rats intraperitoneally for 4 week.s We examined the antioxidative enzymatic activity by measuring the level of AST and ALT in serum and SOD, Catalase, GPx, GSH and GSSG in liver tissue of rats.

  • The growth of pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29737, Bacillus subtilis KCTC 1021 and Escherichia coli ATCC 11775 was inhibited as much as 1 to 4 log cycles in tryptic soy broth containing 1% of Schizandra chinensis extract but Salmonella tuphimrium ATCC 14028 and Vibrio parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802 were not inhibited. The essential oil of Schizandra chinensis showed stronger inhibitory activity than ethanol extract against above menioned pathogens. The growth of Listeria monocytogenes was not changed in minced pork containing 1% of Schizandra chinensis extract for 12 days at 4$^{\circ}C$. The sensory quality of hamburger patty such as taste, flavor and overall accepability were not decreased by the addition of 1% Schizandra chinensis extract(p<0.05).
