The purpose of this study is to investigate the organization and contents of "CheongKangEuiGam" and raise interests in study on Oriental Medicine in the 20th century. Songjae, LeeJongHyeong was a disciple of Cheongkang and published this book in 1984 by organizing the medical theory of Cheongkang, KimYoungHoon who lived in the turbulent period from the late period of Joseon to a chaotic state of Korea after the independence of Korea. Even though it is relatively recently published, it is a very important clinical book as well as historical material to look at the aspects of Oriental Medicine in the 20th century. The book contains several notable medical thoughts. First, you can look at one perspective of the 20th century Oriental Western medical study which is initiated by the introduction of Western Medicine in classification schemes and description of disease symptoms. In addition, he uses medicinal herbs such as Cyperus rotundus L., Pinellia ternate(Thunb.) Breit., Poria cocos Wolf, Angelica gigas Nakai, Cnidium officinale, and Paeonia lactiflora Pall as important items, it is found that qi and blood depressed gallbladder is considered as the main pathology of the disease. In terms of names and meaning of prescriptions, he prefers to use mild medicinal herbs rather than intense medicinal herbs. It seems that he tries to help people's lives with cheap and effective medicinal herbs.

This paper attempts to observe the histological structure of Korean Arisaema ringens $S_{CHOTT}{'s}$ rhizome, to identify it's constituent and to investigate the pharmacological action with it's alcohol extract. The results are : 1) The inner structure of rhizome on the transverse section is divided into external and internal tissues by the ring of intercellular secretary sac. Raphides of calcium oxalate contained in mucilage cell, collateral vascular bundle, are extremely similar to those contained in Pinellia ternata. 2) The organs of the pistillate Arisaema ringens are larger and more plentiful than those of the staminate Arisaema ringens. The sexual identification is easy in the flowering season. 3) The alkaloid is identified by Meyer reagent as white p.p.t. at pH 2 of sulfuric acid. 4) The saponin is indentified remarkably by means of foaming reaction, Lieberman-Burchard reaction and hemolytic reaction. 5) The effect of alcohol extract on the relaxation of the isolated intestine of the rabbit is remarkably shown at the concentration of $10^{-3}g/ml$. 6) The effect of alcohol extract on the isolated ractus muscle of the frog increases the constructive action of acetylcholine at the concentration of $10^{-3}g/ml$. 7) The effect of alcohol extract on the isolated heart movement of the frog is decreased remarkably at the concentration of $10^{-3}g/ml$. 8) The effect of alcohol extract on the blood pressure of the rabbit is decreased by an interavenous injection of $10^{-3}g/kg$.

In this research, the genotoxic effects of Pinelliae Rhizoma (PR) extracts, one of famous herbal agents in Korean medicine were evaluated using the mouse micronucleus test. PR extracts was administered once a day for 2 continuous days by oral gavage to male ICR mice at doses of 2000, 1000, and 500 mg/kg. Cyclophosphamide was used as a known genotoxic agent in a positive control. The appearance of a micronucleus is used as an index for genotoxic potential. No PR extracts treatment-related abnormal clinical signs, body weight changes and mortalities were detected. Significant (p<0.01) increases of the numbers of polychromatic erythrocytes contain micronucleus in prepared bone marrow cells were detected in CPA and PR extracts 2000 mg/kg treated groups as compared with intact control, respectively. The results of intraperitoneal dose mouse bone marrow cell micronucleus test of PR extracts were positive in the present study. It is considered that there were no problems from cytotoxicity of PR extracts tested in this study because the polychromatic erythrocyte ratio was detected as > 0.42 in all tested groups.

In order to search for insulin-like substances from the constituted herbs of Sogal prescriptions, we selected 19 traditional herbs, based on a review of the Donguibogam. The effects of the hot-water extract from the selected herbs on the proliferation and the differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts were tested. The various water-extracts from Pinellia ternata, Magnolia obovata, Rheum palmatum, Acanthopanax sessiliflorun, Atractylodes japonica and Strychnos ignatii inhibited the proliferation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts, did not influence entirely in differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. Treatment of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts with the extract from Ephedra sinica, Trichosanthes kirilowii, Scrophularia buergeriana and Sophora flavescens significantly increased the differentiation of the cells. In conclusion, these may contain such compounds that play a role of insulin-like action.

암을 제외한 대부분의 성인병은 혈액순환과 관련된 혈관계 질환들로 이들에 의한 사망 비율의 합은 암의 비율과 비슷하게 나타나 혈관계 질환의 심각성을 나타내고 있다. 혈전에 의한 혈관계 질환은 혈전용해제와 트롬빈저해제를 이용하여 치료하고 예방할 수 있으며, a-glucosidase 저해제는 당뇨병 예방과 치료에 이용할 수 있다. 예로부터 민간요법에서 다양하게 이용되어 왔던 반하를 성인병 치료와 예방에 관련된 기능성식품의 자료로 사용하기 위해 반하 열수추출물을 유기 용매로 분획화하고 분획물의 혈전용해활성, 트롬빈저해활성, 혈당강하효과를 측정하였다. 혈전을 직접 용해하는 활성을 측정하기위해 100 mg/ml의 농도로 준비한 시료액을 fibrin plate 방법을 이용하여 혈전용해활성을 측정 결과 hexane 층, chloroform 층, ethyl acetate 층, butanol 층에서는 활성을 나타내지 않았지만 물 층에서 만 0.8 plasmin unit의 높은 혈전용해활성을 나타냈다. 혈전의 형성을 억제하기위해 혈전형성의 필수 효소인 트롬빈의 활성을 저해하는 트롬빈저해활성을 측정하기위해 10 배 희석한 (10 mg/ml) 시료 용액을 이용하여 트롬빈저해활성을 측정결과 hexane 층에서 75.3%의 높은 트롬빈저해활성을 나타냈으며, ethyl acetate 층과 chloroform에서도 각각 43.3%와 39.7%의 활성을 나타냈다. 또한 탄수화물의 소화를 지연시킴으로서 소장에서 포도당의 흡수를 억제하여 혈관내 당의 농도를 조절하는 혈당강하제의 개발을 위해 준비된 조효소액(10 mg/ml)을 이용하여 a-glucosidase 저해활성을 측정한 결과 ethyl acetate 층과 hexane 층에서 각각 24.9%와 23.4%의 저해활성을 확인하였다. 따라서 반하의 hexane 층과 ethyl acetate 층과 물층은 혈전관련 혈관계 질환과 당뇨병 관련 기능성 식품의 개발 소재로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 특히 최근 질병 치료에 효과는 크지만 부작용이 동반되는 화학약품들 대신 활성은 조금 뒤지지만 부작용이 없는 생약을 이용하려는 경향이 커지고 있다. 따라서 오랫동안 민간용법에서 사용되고 있는 반하는 안정성이 확인된 장점을 갖고 있어, 식품재료나 기능성 음료에 이용할 경우 장기간 섭취가 가능해 혈관계 질환의 치료와 예방에 큰 효과를 가져 올 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
