Objectives : Polygoni Multiflori Radix (PMR), the roots of Polygonum multiflorum Thunberg, is used to nourish the blood and yin and used for preventing premature greying of the hair. There are some articles on its preventing effects on the melanogenesis. However, there is no report about its effects on the collagen and elastin. The present study was designed to investigate its effects on collagen metabolism and elastase activity. Methods : The effects of PMR on type I procollagen production and collagenase activity in human normal fibroblasts Hs68 after UVB (312 nm) irradiation were measured by ELISA method. Cells were pretreated with the PMR for 24 hours prior to UVB irradiation. After UVB irradiation, cells were retreated with the sample and incubated for additional 24 hours. The amount of collagen type I was measured with a procollagen type I C-peptide assay kit. The activity of collagenase was measured with a MMP-1 human biotrak ELISA system. The elastase activities after treatment of PMR were measured as well. Results : In the present study, the collagen production was not increased. However, the increased collagenase activity after UVB damage was significantly recovered to $50.2{\pm}14.5%$, $8.2{\pm}3.1%$, and $10.0{\pm}3.3%$ (10, 30, and $100{\mu}g/ml$). The elastase activities (10, 100, and $1000{\mu}g/ml$) significantly reduced to $75.2{\pm}5.2%$, $40.3{\pm}1.2%$, and $27.0{\pm}1.9%$, respectively. Conclusion : PMR showed the inhibitory effects on collagenase and elastase activity. These results suggest that PMR may have potential as an anti-aging ingredient in cosmetic herbal treatment.

본 연구는 증자, 숙성 및 발효에 따른 Polygoni multiflori Radix의 이화학적 특성, phytochemical 함량, 영양성분 및 항산화 활성 변화를 확인하였다. Polygoni multiflori Radix (PMR)은 가공 후 pH는 약간 감소하고 산도는 증가하였다(pH 5.70→4.78, 산도 0.23→0.29%). 환원당 함량은 숙성과 발효 후 PMR (1.19mg/g)에서 1.40 (FPMR), 1.30 (RPMR), 1.53 (FRPMR), 1.99 (BPMR) 및 2.33 mg/g (FBPMR)으로 증가하였다. Total phenolic 함량은 PMR (6.05 mg/g)에서 가장 높았으며, total flavonoid 함량과 maillard product는 PMR을 숙성과 발효 후 증가하였으며 각각 BPMR (1.60 mg/g)과 FBPMR (2.76 O.D.)에서 가장 높았다. 주요 phytochemical은 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-0-α-glucoside로 PMR (64.9 mg/g)에서 가장 높았으며, FPMR에서 46.47 mg/g, RPMR에서 33.94 mg/g, FRPMR에서 48.76 mg/g, BPMR에서 36.68 mg/g, FBPMR에서 34.35 mg/g이 검출되었다. 주요 지방산과 유리아미노산은 palmitic acid(C16:0)과 proline이었다. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt 라디칼 소거활성 및 FRAP 환원력은 대체로 PMR(39.06%, 98.32%, 및 2.61 O.D. - 추출물 농도 1.0 mg/mL)에 가장 높은 활성을 보였으며 숙성과 발효 후에 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Polygoni Multiflori Radix Water Extract (PM) on the production of inflammatory mediators in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Method : We examined effect of PM Extract on the cell viability of RAW 264.7 cells. Futhermore, we investigated anti-inflammatory effect of PM Extract by the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as NO, intracellular calcium, interleukin(IL)-$1{\alpha}$, IL-3, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, interferon inducible protein-10(IP-10), keratinocyte-derived chemokine(KC) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF). Result : No significant changes have been found in the mouse macrophge cell viability by the PM Extract at the concentration of 25, 50, 100 and $200{\mu}g/mL$. The water extract of PM significantly inhibited the production of NO and intracellular calcium in the LPS-induced macrophages at the concentration of 25, 50, 100 and $200{\mu}g/mL$. The water extract of PM significantly inhibited the production of IL-$1{\alpha}$, IL-${\beta}$, IL-3, IP-10, KC, VEGF in the LPS-induced macrophages at the concentration of 50, 100, and $200{\mu}g/mL$; IL-6 at the concentration of 100 and $200{\mu}g/mL$ ; and IL-17 at $200{\mu}g/mL$. Conclusion : The water extract of PM significantly inhibited the production of NO, intracellular calcium, IL-$1{\alpha}$, IL-3, IL-${\beta}$, IP-10, KC, VEGF at the concentration of 50 ㎍/mL or higher in the LPS-induced macrophages with no changes in the cell viability of them. These results suggest that water extract of Polygoni Multiflori Radix has anti-inflammatory effect regulating the production of proinflammatory cytokines in the LPS-induced macrophages.

We observed the efficacy of natural herbs and mixture in treating atopic dermatitis using anti-human IgE treated Human HMC-I cell and NCNga mice model. First, we selected three herbs, Cynonchum witfordii, Diospyros kaki, Ilite which were used to treat skin disease in Traditional Korea Medicine. Using Human HMC-I cell treated with anti-human IgE, we investigate in vitro whether each herb effects on IL-4, IL-13, $TNF-{\alpha}$ expression and $TNF-{\alpha}$, Histamine secretion value. Finally, we conducted study whether the mixture of the selected herbs is more effective than each herb which consist the mixture and control group. The results show that the mixture is better in improving atopic dermatitis condition.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of Sulgidduk prepared with different amounts of Hasuo (Polygoni Multiflori Radix) powder. Proximate composition analysis showed that the moisture content, pH, acidity, and volume of Sulgidduk decreased with a rise in the level of added hasuo powder. The L-value decreased, while a and b values increased, with increasing amounts of hasuo powder. In mechanical evaluation of physical properties, hardness decreased while springiness, chewiness, cohesiveness, and brittleness increased with increasing hasuo powder content. Scanning election microscopy indicated that the number of air cells decreased as the ratio of hasuo powder increased. Sensory evaluation showed that moistness and springiness decreased significantly when the amounts of hasuo powder increased. The sample containing 30 g hasuo powder scored the highest for sweet taste, savory taste, springiness, chewiness, swallowing, and in overall acceptability scores. Next, the sample containing 60 g hasuo powder scored higher than control. The optimum concentration indicate that addition of 30~60 g hasuo powder to Sulgidduk resulted in highest quality.

Objectives: Cynanchi wilfordii Radix has commonly been used with or instead of Polygoni multiflori Radix in Korea. The purpose of this study was to investigate their history in the traditional Oriental medical literature and quantitative determination of conduritol F from Cynanchi wilfordii Radix according to various harvest times. Methods: We conducted studies of the traditional Oriental medical literature and analysis of the component, conduritol F, simultaneously. Efficacy and origin of Cynanchi wilfordii Radix in literature study, time of harvest in component research. Chromatographic analysis performed using Silica(2) 100A column (Phenomenex 5 um, 250 mm 4.6 mm) with a mixture of acetonitrile and water (98 : 2)(v/v). The analyses detected at UV (210 nm). Results: Conduritol F was detected in Cynanchi wilfordii Radix, but in Cynanchi auriculati Radix was not. We indicate that conduritol F is as a distinguishable indicator with other materia medica. We think the proper harvesting time is October and November. Conclusions: Measures of trunk control were significantly related with values of dynamic balance and gait. Based on these results, trunk control is an essential core component of balance and gait. Trunk control training programs after stroke should be developed and emphasized.
