Objective : This research was carried out to compare the effect of Gorynju and a Soju extract Psoraleae fructus on melanin synthesis of B16 melanoma cells. Methods : To investigate melanin synthesis of B16 melanoma cells, this research was measured cell survival, tyrosinase activity, melanin synthesis, western blot. Results : Both Gorynju and Soju extract Psoraleae fructus, cell toxicity depended on the density. Tyrosinase activity depended on the density of Gorynju extract Psoraleae fructus and statistic was showed significant(0.5, 1, 2, 3 ${\mu}g/ml$), in a Soju extract Psoraleae fructus, 1 ${\mu}g/ml$ were showed significant. Melanin synthesis was showed significant in a Soju extract Psoraleae fructus(3, 4 ${\mu}g/ml$). Western blot was showed to depend on the density of Gorynju and a Soju extract Psoraleae fructus. Conclusions : In a tyrosinase activity and a melanin synthesis, the intermediate alcohol of Gorynju and a Soju may be suitable to use.

The present study was conducted to compare antioxidant activity of Cuscutae Semen, Psoraleae Fructus, Cnidii Fructus and Epimedii Herba by DPPH radical scavenging activity. The extract was studied using diphenyl-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) for DPPH method. DPPH radical scavenging activity was measured after. .10, 20 and 30 minutes. The extract was tested by 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and $1000{\mu}g/ml$ concentrations. The results showed that the extract scavenged DPPH radical with time-dependent manner. Also, the extract showed dose-dependent DPPH radical scavenging activity. The extract of Cuscutae Semen, Psoraleae Fructus, Cnidii Fructus and Epimedii Herba scavenged DPPH radical with the IC50 being 2.7, 3.2, 2.9 and 1.1 mg/ml, respectively. In conclusion, the extract of Epimedii Herba, Cuscutae Semen, Cnidii Fructus and Psoraleae Fructus have antioxidant activity for the treatment of male sterility.

The purpose of this study is to examine the antioxidant activity in the germ cells of the extract of Psoraleae fructus. The extract was studied for dipheny-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, GC-1 cell viability by a modified MTT assay, the effects on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity by MTT assay and lipid perixidation by malondialdehyde (MDA) formation, respectively. The results showed that the extract scavenged DPPH radical with the IC50 being 0.427 mg/mL. The extract was dose-dependent in growth of GC-1 cell. $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity (67.7 %) was blocked by the extract concentration- dependently. Furthermore, the extract also displayed a dose-dependent reduction of MDA formation on $H_2O_2$-induced lipid peroxidation. In conclusion, the extract of Psoraleae fructus has potent antioxidant activity.

It was claimed that the herbal medicine with the function of strengthening the body resistance exerts to enhance the immunity. And the medicine with the effect of eliminating the pathogenic factor is stated to inhibit the immune response. To evaluate the the effects of the herbal medicine on the immune response, the mice were administrated with the herbal medicine for 2 weeks. And the responses were analyzed. As the result, water extract of Radix Astragali, Fructus Psoraleae, Cortex Acanthopanacis, Semen Coicis, Herba Ecliptae, Spica Prunellae, and Radix Sophorae increased the ROI production, while Radix Tripterygia inhibited it. Phagocytic activity was increased after administration of Radix Astragal, Fructus Psoraleae, Cortex Acanthopanacis, Herba Ecliptae, Spica Prunellae and Radix Sophorae. NK cell activity was also significantly inhibited by Radix Tripterygia. Administration of Radix Astragali, Fructus Psoraleae, Cortex Acanthopanacis, Herba Ecliptae, Spica Prunellae and Semen Coicis enhanced the antibodies(hemagglutinin and hemolysin) formation and the appearance of rosette forming cells of the spleen, while Radix Sophorae and Radix Tripterygia decreased it. Radix Sophorae and Radix Tripterygia also decreased the allogenic immune response and mixed-lymphocyte reaction. And all the experimental herbs decreased contact hypersensitivity against dinitroflurobenzene. These results show Radix Astragali, Fructus Psoraleae, Spica Prunellae, Cortex Acanthopanacis, Semen Coicis and Herba Ecliptae enhanced innate immunity, humoral and cellular immune responses. However Radix Sophorae and Radix Tripterygia exert imunosuppressive action. Also these results indicate that the medicine with the action of the strengthening the body resistance enhances the immunity. And the the some of drugs belonging to the eliminating the pathogenic factor also increase the immune responses.

본 연구에서는 신생혈관형성 제어에 바탕을 둔 비만세포제어 정도를 확인하기 위하여 4가지 지역 천연산물인 전호(Anthrisci radix), 파고지 (Psoraleae semen), 희첨 (Siegesbeckiae herba) 및 산수유 (Corni fructus)를 이용한 지방 축적물 변화 및 기전을 확인하기 위해 3T3-L1 adipocyte를 이용한 Oil Red O 염색 및 western blot을 실시하였다. 그 결과 전호, 파고지, 희첨, 산수유의 세포 독성 이내의 농도 증가에 따라 지방 축적물이 감소됨을 보였다. 또한 western blot을 위해 lipogenesis와 관련된 SREBP-1 및 adipogenesis와 관련된 $PPAR\gamma$와 C/$EBP\alpha$의 신호전달 정도를 확인한 결과 4가지 지역 천연산물의 농도 증가에 따라 단백질의 발현양이 감소됨을 확인하였다. 이는 4가지 지역 천연산물 추출물이 지방분화와 관련된 신호분자를 차단함으로써 지방형성이 억제되었음을 보였다. 따라서 4가지 지역 천연산물인 전호, 파고지, 희첨 및 산수유는 신생혈관형성 억제에 따른 항비만제제로서의 이용 가능함을 시사하였다.

Vitiligo does not have a baneful influence on life and function of the body directly, but is a serious disease in that most patients suffer from difficulties in social life and considerable stress. We cured a vitiligo patient with a few depigmented patches in front of the left ear using aqua-acupuncture with hominis placenta and psoraleae fructus extract. Since this is just one case report, more case studies and research will be necessary.
