Objectives : The purpose of this study was to confirm whether Codonopsis Radix(CR) could be used in the same way for expected indications or diseases of adaptation instead of Ginseng Radix(GR), which acts as a principal herb in Sagunja-tang. Methods : The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems pharmacology(TCMSP), a database for the study of systems biology related to Chinese medicine, screened potential active compounds in each quartet. By searching for all the proteins that each compound provides, the target of Sagunja-tang with GR(GRST) and the target of Sagunja-tang with CR(CRST) were compared using the network analysis method, and the top ranked target of each serving was selected. Results : Through TCMSP, a Chinese medicine database, the potential effective ingredients of GRST or CRST screened, and the target proteins related to these substances were found to be the most affected by Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizome, an herbal medicine mixed in Sagunja-tang, and the target diseases were the same. And the same were found for the target protein, gene and target diseases of GRST and CRST. Conclusions : The prescription with similar composition is likely to have similar network pharmacology analysis results, and the analysis result may be controlled by the herbal medicines which are assumed to be the main function. Therefore, rich and reproducible basic studies is more important because network pharmacological studies can be dominated by data that has been done a lot of previous studies.

In this study, we developed and validated the HPLC method using the isolated components from Erycibae caulis. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including UV, $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR, FAB-Mass and ESI-Mass as Compound 1 (crypto-chlorogenic acid), Compound 2 (scopolin), Compound 3 (neochlorogenic acid) and Compound 4 (3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid). Major three compounds and scopoletin were decided as representative components of Erycibae caulis. We established HPLC analytical method by using the representative components and 20 commercial samples which were collected considering to various cultivated area. The HPLC fingerprinting was successfully achieved with an AKZO NOBEL Kromasil 100-5C18 column. The mobile phase consisted of 0.5% acetic acid in water (A) and methanol (B) using gradient method of 85(A) to 50(A) for 35min. The fingerprints of chromatograms were recorded at an optimized wavelength of 330 nm. This developed analytical method was validated with specificity, selectivity, accuracy and precision. And it is suggested that scopolin, scopoletin, neochlorogenic acid, 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid were more than 0.162%, 0.133%, 0.057%, 0.044%, respectively. In addition, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on the analytical data of 20 different Erycibae caulis samples in order to classify samples collected from different regions. We hope that this assay can be readily utilized as quality control method for Erycibae caulis.

The physical properties of perilla leaves cultivated in Geumsan province were analyzed according storage conditions. The a/b values of perilla leaves increased with increasing storage period. Electronic nose composed of 12 different metal oxide sensors was used to differentiate flavors of perilla leaves. Sensitivities(delta $R_{gas}/R_{air}$) of sensors from electronic nose were obtained by principal compound analysis(PCA). Proportion of the first principal component was 93.07% at $25^{\circ}C$ and 97.81% at $4^{\circ}C$, respectively. In our result, flavor patterns of perilla leaves can be differentiated according to the storage temperature.

Pneumatic tires usually contain a variety of rubber compositions, each designed to contribute some particular factor to overall performance. Rubber compounds designed for a specific function will usually be similar but not identical In composition and properties. Since 1970`s finite element analysis of tire has been performed extensively, which requires some energy density functions of rubber components of a tire. The conventional Mooney-Rivlin material model is one of the description that is commonly used in the analysis of tire. In this paper, we report the two material constants of gooney-Rivlin material model for some rubber compounds of a real pneumatic tire, which are obtained through uniaxial tension test.

Consumers primarily consider flavor when they take yogurt. Recent researches on yogurt flavor productron its analytical technique have been extensively developed. These studies have provided a better understanding on the role of starter culture microorganisms on flavor formation and degradation. Yogurt volatile flavor compounds produced by the lactic cultures include acetaldehyde, diacetyl, ethanol and organic acid. Among them, acetaldehyde is recognized as a principal flavor component. since yogurt contains a delicate and low intense flavor, mild sample isolation techniques and sensitive identification means might be used. This paper attempts to discuss recent findings in yogurt flavor and to describe the application of yogurt flavor separation techniques. The section on practical aspects of culture selection based on flavor compound production and flavor analysis is also included.

Soybean paste is a staple food used to make doenjang (DE), cheonggukjang (CGJ), and miso (MI). In this study, solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to identify volatile components in DE, CGJ, and MI, and principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to determine their correlation between soybean pastes. Esters and hydrocarbons accounted for more than 55% of the total volatile components. PCA showed that esters were highly correlated with DE; pyrazines were correlated with CGJ; and alcohols were highly correlated with MI. Because DE, CGJ, and MI are made of the same material, their overall volatile content tended to be similar. However, the main volatile components and fragrances were different. These findings will be used as basic research data to promote quality improvement of soybean-based fermented foods in Korea and Japan.

Green shoot cuttings of 10 different grapevine species were inoculated with Agrobacterium vitis to find disease-related metabolites in the grapevine. Crown galls formed 60 days after inoculation varied in gall severity (GS) evaluated by gall incidence (GI) and gall diameter (GD), which were classified into three response types as RR (low GI and small GD), SR (high GI and small GD), and SS (high GI and large GD), corresponding to resistant, moderately resistant, and susceptible responses, respectively. In this, 4, 4, and 2 Vitis species were classified into RR, SR, and SS, respectively. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the grapevine stem metabolites with A. vitis infection showed 134 metabolites in various compound classes critically occurred, which were differentially clustered with the response types by the principal component analysis. Multivariate analysis of the metabolite profile revealed that 11 metabolites increased significantly in relation to the response types, mostly at post-inoculation stages, more prevalently (8 metabolites) at two days after inoculation than other stages, and more related to SS (7 metabolites) than RR (3 metabolites) or SR (one metabolite). This suggests most of the disease-related metabolites may be rarely pre-existing but mostly induced by pathogen infection largely for facilitating gall development except stilbene compound resveratrol, a phytoalexin that may be involved in the resistance response. All of these aspects may be used for the selection of resistant grapevine cultivars and their rootstocks for the control of the crown gall disease of the grapevine.

In this study, we report the optimal extraction conditions for obtaining organosulfur compounds, such as cycloalliin, from garlic by using principal component analysis (PCA). Extraction variables including temperature ($40{\sim}80^{\circ}C$), time (0.5~12 h), and pH (4~12) were investigated for the highest cycloalliin yields. The cycloalliin yield (5.5 mmol/mL) at pH 10 was enhanced by ~40% relative to those (~3.9 mmol/mL) at pH 4 and pH 6. The cycloalliin level at $80^{\circ}C$ showed the highest yield among the tested temperatures (5.05 mmol/mL). Prolonged extraction times also increased cycloalliin yield; the yield after 12 h was enhanced ~2-fold (4 mmol/mL) compared to the control. Isoalliin and cycloalliin levels were inversely correlated, whereas a direct correlation between polyphenol and cycloalliin levels was observed. In storage for 30 days, garlic stored at $60^{\circ}C$ (11 mmol/mL) showed higher levels of cycloalliin and polyphenols than those at $40^{\circ}C$, with the maximum cycloalliin level (13 mmol/mL) on day 15. Based on the PCA analysis, the isoalliin level depended on the extraction time, while cycloalliin amounts were influenced not only by extraction time, but also by pH and temperature. Taken together, extraction of garlic at $80^{\circ}C$, with an incubation time of 12 h, at pH 10 afforded the maximum yield of cycloalliin.

This principal objective of this study was to evaluate the sensory properties and flavor compounds of Kimchi prepared with different levels (0.0%, 0.4%, 0.8%, and 1.2%) of Backryeoncho extracts (BE). At high levels of BE, Kimchi showed increased level of crispness and flavor, and also jeotgal odor decreased in the sensory evaluation. Addition of 0.8 % BE resulted in the highest scores for color, taste, and overall acceptance of Kimchi. Therefore, addition of 0.8 % BE appears to be an acceptable approach to enhance the quality of Kimchi without reducing acceptability. As a result of flavor compound analysis, a total of 24 volatile flavor compound, including 11 S-containing compounds, 6 terpenes, 1 acid, 1 ester, 1 alcohol, 2 miscellaneous compounds, 2 thiocyanates, etc., were detected by GC/MS. The major volatile compounds were s-containing compounds and terpene hydrocarbon, and especially terpene of sabinene was newly detected in Kimchi with added BE. Levels of 2-vinyl-[4H]-1,3-dithin derived from garlic flavor as a sulfide-containing compound along with diallyl trisulfide derived from green onion flavor were reduced in Kimchi with added 0.8% BE. Most sulfide-containing compounds were reduced in Kimchi with added BE, whereas most terpenes detected in control Kimchi were not detected.

In this study, we carried out extensive in vitro studies on various concentrations of tioxolone along with benzoxonium chloride and their niosomal forms against Leishmania tropica. Niosomes were prepared by the hydration method and were evaluated for morphology, size, release study, and encapsulation efficiency. This study measured leishmanicidal activity against promastigote and amastigote, apoptosis and gene expression levels of free solution and niosomal-encapsulated tioxolone along with benzoxonium chloride. Span/Tween 60 niosome had good physical stability and high encapsulation efficiency (more than 97%). The release profile of the entrapped compound showed that a gradual release rate. The combination of niosomal forms on promastigote and amastigote were more effective than glucantime. Also, the niosomal form of this compound was significantly less toxic than glucantime ($P{\leq}0.05$). The flowcytometric analysis on niosomal form of drugs showed that higher number of early apoptotic event as the principal mode of action (89.13% in $200{\mu}g/ml$). Also, the niosomal compound increased the expression level of IL-12 and metacaspase genes and decreased the expression level of the IL-10 gene, which further confirming the immunomodulatory role as the mechanism of action. We observed the synergistic effects of these 2 drugs that induced the apoptotic pathways and also up regulation of an immunomodulatory role against as the main mode of action. Also, niosomal form of this combination was safe and demonstrated strong anti-leishmaniasis effects highlights further therapeutic approaches against anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in future planning.
