Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) is a widely used herbal plant with various biological properties. Our previous study using in vitro platelet aggregation in whole blood showed that ethyl acetate layer of RVS had strong anti-aggregatory activity. In this study. to investigate the anti-aggregatory activity and antioxidative effects of RVS ethyl acetate layer. the layer was subsequently fractionated by ODS columm chromatograph (50% MeOH). As a result. the fraction 3 was most inhibited the aggregation of platelet in rat whole blood induced by thrombin and all fraction of RVS was detected strong antioxidative effect. (omitted)

Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) and the derived myofibroblasts are known to play a central role in liver fibrogenesis. Rhus verniciflua Strokes (RVS) has traditionally been used in Korea herbal medicine for a stomachic tonic. In this study, we observed the effect of RVS acetone extract (Ra) and its five major components on the proliferation, the collagen synthesis, and hepatic fibrosis related proteins mRNA levels in HSC-T6 cells which is a fully activated rat hepatic stellate cell line. Ra inhibited the proliferation and decreased the content of collagen in the HSC-T6 cells. (omitted)

For a long time Rhus vemiciflua Stokes (RVS) has been traditionally used as a herbal plant in Asia. In this study, we have investigated the effect of acetone extract of Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVSE) and fisetin, a component of RVSE, on DNA damage response in NIH3T3 cells. Exposure of cells to DVB light $(200 J/m^2)$ and postincubation in growth medium for 48 hr resulted in a decrease of cell viability to about $10-20\%$ of nontreated control. Addition of various concentrations of RVSE in the postincubation medium, however, significantly increased the cell viability as compared with the values expected. The genotoxicity-decreasing effect was also demonstrated in cells exposed to UVB light and incubated in medium containing fisetin. The genotoxicity-decreasing effect of RVSE and fisetin was further demonstrated by various analyses including cell morphology studies, trypan blue exclusion assay and DAPI staining. By Annexin V binding analysis, RVSE and fisetin were shown to decrease the early apoptosis induced by UVB exposure. These results suggest the RVSE contain components that either increase the DNA repair or decrease the apoptosis in UVB-exposed cells.

본 연구에서는 주요 어류 병원성 그람음성세균인 E. tarda 및 V. anguillarum에 대하여 14 종의 생약 추출물의 항균활성을 검색하였다. 그 결과, 감초, 지유 및 칠피 추출물이 항균활성을 나타냄을 밝혔다. 그 중, 가장 우수한 항균활성을 나타낸 칠피 추출물에 대하여 활성지향적인 분리기법을 적용하여 활성분획물인 EtOAc분획물로부터 항균활성물질 1종을 분리하고 페놀성 화합물인 methyl gallate로 동정하였다. methyl gallate는 실험에 사용된 E. tarda 및 V. anguillarum의 균주들의 증식을 효과적으로 저해하였으며 이에 대한 MIC는 모두 1 mg/ml로 측정되었다.

본 연구는 과거부터 전해져 내려온 전통방식의 옻채취방법인 화칠법을 기계적 방식으로 전환시킬 수 있는가에 대한 가능성을 파악하기 위하여 전통적인 방법과 기계적 방법으로 화칠채취공정을 조사 분석하였다. 옻나무의 중량단위당 나무개수에 따른 화칠채취공정에서 기계식이 재래식에 비해 약 45% 옻액을 더 많이 생산하는 것으로 나타났으며, 일반적으로 옻나무의 단위 중량당 화칠채취의 소요시간은 나무개수가 많을 수록 시간이 더 많이 소요되었으나 기계식이 재래식 보다 시간이 좀 더 걸리는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 연속적으로 작업을 계속할 경우에 재래식은 줄기에 홈을 낼 때 육체적 힘을 많이 소비하므로 오랜 시간 작업을 하기가 어려운 것으로 판단된다.

The ethanol extract of Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS), the Korean Lacquer tree, was subsequentely isolated and fractioned into two portions using distilled water (SED) and 99% ethanol (SEE) as elution buffers through silica gel column (4x28 em, 22 $\AA$. 28~200 mesh). To know the antioxidative effect of the RVS extracts, primary hepatocytes were exposed to hydroxyl radical generated by 20 mU/$m\ell$ glucose oxidase with SED or SEE for 4 hr. The addition of 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ SED in culture medium showed good protection from glucose oxidase (GO)-mediated cytotoxicity of hepatocytes, showing approximately equivalent to control. When the hepatocytes were incubated with 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ SED or SEE only for 4 hr. the activities of cell-associated superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase were elevated up to 1.22 fold and 1.4 fold, respectively, compared to control. Further increase, 1.88fold in SOD activity or 1.64fold in catalase activity, was also observed when the hepatocytes were incubated with 100 units/$m\ell$ of commercial SOD or catalase for 4 hr. Moreover. the glucose oxidase-mediated cytotoxicity in cultured hepatocytes was generally reduced upon addition of lysate obtained from SED or SEE-stimulated hepatocytes in a dose-dependent manner. From these results, we suggest that, in cultured hepatocytes, RVS ethanol extract can efficiently reduce cytotoxicity induced by glucose oxidase and may increase the activity of cell-associated SOD and/or catalase, thereby preventing and/or scavenging superoxides and hydroxyl radicals in this experiment.

Background : Approximately 50% of patients with low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) develops recurrent disease, mainly in lung or pelvis. Peritoneal metastasis of LGESS is an extremely rare phenomenon. Optimal treatment for metsatatic LGESS has not been established. Case : A 43-year-old woman had been diagnosed with LGESS with aortocaval lymphadenopathy. Despite of surgical resection, adjuvant radiation, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy, multiple lung and peritoneal metastasis developed after 15 months from initial treatment. Additional chemotherapy was done, but disease progressed. She had treatment with the allergen-removed Rhus verniciflua Stokes (aRVS) from November 2010 to May 2011. About 5 months to progression was observed. Conclusion : We suggests that aRVS could be an alternative treatment option for the metastatic LGESS patients. Further clinical studies on the efficacy of aRVS against metastatic LGESS are needed.

The MeOH extract of Rhus verniciflua heartwood inhibited lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Chromatographic methods including of silica gel, RP-18 and high-pressure liquid chromatography isolated sulfuretin and fisetin from the extract as active constituents. The isolated compounds, especially sulfuretin, strongly inhibited lipid accumulation in adipocytes. The treatment of sulfuretin and fisetin led to decreased expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma ($PPAR{\gamma}$), as an important transcription factor in fat cell differentiation, which was equal to the decrease in the quercetin positive control. The presence of a hydroxyl group (C-5) in quercetin compared to fisetin, and the presence of C-2 double bonds in fisetin compared with fustin increased the inhibitory effect of lipid accumulation.

본 연구에서는 urushiol 제거에 적합한 장수버섯 종균용 원료에 대하여 평가하였다. 세 가지 곡물조, 현미, 통밀에서의 장수버섯 균사체 증식속도는 각각 4.92±0.05, 2.20±0.03, 1.93±0.03 mm/day 이었다. 장수버섯이 배양된 곡물종균의 laccase의 활성은 각각 0.86±0.02, 0.04±0.01, 0.01±0.00 U/mL 이었다. 증식속도와 효소활성 측면에서 장수버섯 종균용 곡물로는 조를 사용하는 것이 적합하였다. 조에 배양된 장수버섯 종균을 옻나무에 배양하였더니 3일차에 urushiol이 최대 86.6% 감소하였고 7일차에 98.5%까지 감소하였다. Urushiol 제거를 위한 적정 배양기간은 3일이었으며 이때 flavonoid 잔존량은 68%, phenolic 성분의 잔존량은 42% 이었다. 액체종균을 사용하여 배양한 것과 비교했을 때 urushiol을 제거하기 위한 증식기간이 10일에서 3일로 단축되었다.

The Rhus verniciflua contains alkly(en)-catechol type allergens with a saiurated or unsaturated alkly chain of 15 or 17 carbon atoms. It has been recognized as an extremely active allergen causing skin reactions similar In poison ivy. The allergic contact dermatitis induced by the urushiol is known to be mediated be T lymphocytes whicht specifically recognize the hepten urushiol. Therefore. direct use of this plant as a medicinal purpose might imply a considerable hazard in Korea. In this study, using the established method for the detoxification from the stem bark of Rhus verniciflua, an strong antioxidant substance was isolated and characterized DPPH (diphenypricryl hydrazyl) assay measures hydrogen atom-donating activity and hence provides a measure of free radical scavenging antioxidant activity. DPPH, a purple-colored stable free radical, is reduced to yellow-colored diphenylpicryl hydrazine by antioxidants to deducing agents. Antioxidative effects of the water extract from RV were measured by DPPH assay. Twenty microliters of the extract was added to 1ml of 100mM DPPH solution in ethanol The mixture was shaken and left to stand for 10min at room temperature. The crude water extracts was purified by using HPLC method with a DEAE (anionic type), CN, ODS column. The purified compound remained stable at pH 3.0-6,0, but unstable above pH 6.5. It was stable heat at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours, but still had about 80% of residual activity after treatment at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. The elemental composition of the HR-EI mass spectrum at m/z 170.02 was estimated the empirical formula as $C_{7}$ $H_{6}$ $O_{5}$. $C_{10}$ $H_4$ $O_2$N$_1$, $C_{5}$ $H_4$ $O_4$N$_3$, $C_{8}$$H_2O$$_1$N$_4$. In antimicrobial test, no inhibition was observed against Gram-positive and negative bacteria. This compound was stronger than that of commercial antioxidant by DPPH test, such as BHT, BHC at the same concentration (20$\mu$g/ml).ml).
