Previous studies have shown that modified Je-Ho-Tang (MJHT) has anti-platelet effects. Je-Ho-Tang (JHT), a Korean court beverage, is a traditional Korean herbal medicine that has been used for the treatment of a disease attended by great thirst, and for prevention of illness in hot summers. We made MJHT from JHT by excluding honey. The present study was performed to determine the acute oral toxicity of crude extract of MJHT in male and female ICR mice. We investigated the in vivo single dose acute toxicity of MJHT hot-water extraction. This test was orally administered once by gavage to 20 mice of each sex received doses of 0 (control group), 1250, 2500 and 5000 mg/kg body weight. Mortalities, clinical findings, autopsy findings and body weight changes were monitored daily for 14 days following the administration. We observed survival rates, general toxicities, changes of body weight, and autopsy. No significant lethality was observed after single oral administration of MJHT at the different dosages. Autopsies on the animals revealed no gross abnormalities. Therefore, the LD50 value of MJHT for ICR mice was estimated more than 5000 mg/kg by the oral route. These results suggest that no toxic dose level of MJHT in mice is considered to be more than 5000 mg/kg. Consequently, it was concluded that MJHT have no effect on acute toxicity and side effect in ICR mice.

This study was performed to investigate the in vitro and in vivo anticancer effects of persimmon leaf extracts on human gastric cancer cells. In vitro anticancer effects of persimmon leaf extracts (water extract at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours, water extract at room temperature for 48 hours, 50% ethanol extract at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours, 50% ethanol extract at room temperature for 48 hours, 75% ethanol extract at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours and 75% ethanol extract at room temperature for 48 hours) on SNU16 (Korean gastric cancer cell) were investigated by MTT assay. Persimmon leaf extracts exhibited strong in vitro anticancer effects. We found that the higher the ethanol content of the solvent, the stronger the in vitro anticancer effects. Extraction yields, contents of flavonoids, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E were measured. We found that the higher the ethanol content of the solvent, the higher the extraction yields and the contents of flavonoids, vitamin A and vitamin E. Among persimmon leaf extracts, 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract showed the highest extraction yield, the highest contents of flavonoids, vitamin A and vitamin E and exhibitied the strongest in vitro anticancer effect on SNU16. Therefore, 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract was chosen as the material to investigate in vivo anticancer effects. In vivo anticancer effect of persimmon leaf 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract was investigated in SNU16 transplanted nude mice. Twenty five female nude mice (BALB/c) were blocked into five groups according to body weight and raised for 4 weeks with diets containing 4% (w/w), 8% (w/w) persimmon leaf 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract, with IT (intratumoral) injection treatment with 1.65 mg/100 $\mu$1, 3.3 mg/100 $\mu$1 concentration every other day 3 weeks after SNU16 was transplanted. Persimmon 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract significantly lowered tumor weight and tumor volume in SNU16 transplanted nude mice. Tumor weight and tumor volume in all experimental groups were significantly lower than those in the control group. Helper T cell (CD4) levels of mice injected with 3.3 mg/100 $\mu$1 extract significantly increased. Cytotoxic T cell (CD8) levels in all experimental groups significantly increased and helper/cytotoxic T cell ratios in all experimental groups significantly decreased. Natural killer cell and MHC class II molecule in all experimental groups significantly increased. In conclusion, persimmon leaf 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract exhibited strong in vitro and in vivo anticancer effects against SNU16 cells and it increased cytotoxic T cell, natural killer cell and MHC classII molecule in experimental groups in SNU16 transplanted nude mice.

본 연구에서는 은행잎 추출물의 Staphylococcus aureus에 대한 항균효과를 검증하기 위해 먼저 에탄올 농도별로 bilobalide와 ginkgolide A, B의 성분을 분석한 결과 40% 에탄올 용매를 최적 활성농도로 결정하였다. Disc diffusion test, Optical density test을 통한 S. aureus 항균실험 결과 에탄올 추출농도가 증가할수록 항균효과가 증가하나 40% 에탄올 이상에서는 항균활성에 큰 차이가 없었다. 주사전자현미경을 통하여 은행잎 에탄올 40% 추출물 16배 농축액을 처리한 균의 세포표면을 확인한 결과 심하게 손상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰한 결과 은행잎 추출물로 처리한 균주에서는 세포벽이 관찰되지 않았으며, 이는 은행잎 추출물의 주성분인 bilobalide와 ginkgolide A, B가 세포벽 합성을 저해하는 것으로 보여진다.

We selected Pleurotus ostreatus from among several edible mushrooms because it has high anti-gout xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory activity. The maximal amount of XOD inhibitor was extracted when the Pleurotus ostreatus fruiting body was treated with distilled water at $40^{\circ}C$ for 48 hr. The XOD inhibitor thus obtained was purified by Sephadex G-50 gel permeation chromatography, ultrafiltration, $C_{18}$ solid phase extraction chromatography and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with 3% of solid yield, and its XOD inhibitory activity was 0.9 mg/mL of $IC_{50}$. The purified XOD inhibitor was a tripeptide with the amino acid sequence phenylalanine-cysteine-histidine and a molecular weight of 441.3 Da. The XOD inhibitor-containing ultrafiltrates from Pleurotus ostreatus demonstrated dose-dependent anti-gout effects in a Sprague-Dawley rat model of potassium oxonate-induced gout, as shown by decreased serum urated levels at doses of 500 and 1,000 mg/kg, although the effect was not as great as that achieved with the commercial anti-gout agent, allopurinol when administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg.

Crocin was extracted from Gardenia fructus in order to manufacture a natural food dye. In the extraction and purification process methanol and ethanol were used as the most Suitable solvent selected in preliminary test and 9.28%g/100g of Cretin product in 99.89% of purity was acquired. The lethal dose of Cretin administered in mouse by intra peridoneal was 5.36g/kg which is much lower toxic than any other. The toxic dose which caused diarrhoea in rat was 2.55g/kg and maximum no effect level was found to be 272mg/kg. From the $1%{\sim}2.5%$ content of Crocin in rat diet reduction of body weight appeared and GTP and GOT (Transaminase) value in creased significantly. Crocin showed a good properties of tolerating acid, alkali, sunlight, reductant, oxidant, and salt compared with tar dyes. The range from 100 ppm to 500ppm bring out bright $yellow{\sim}orange$ color, the most effective color, with a good solubility in water-slightly in oil. The acceptable daily intake of crocin was calculated as 2.72mg/kg based on maximum no effect dose (2% additive dose).

제주도 지질학적 선구조 및 용천연구를 위한 RADARSAT SAR의 활용 타당성 검토 연구가 Candain space agency의 도움으로 얻어진 2종류 다른 모드를 갖는 SAR 자료를 이용하여 수행되었다. 제주도는 현무암이 우세한 화산섬으로 지질학적 선구조의 발달이 매우 미약하나, 본 연구결과 기존에 Landat TM 만을 이용하여 얻어진 선구조보다 많은 선구조를 추출할 수 있었다. 이는 특히 TM 과 다른 관측방향과 입사각을 갖는 RADARSAT SAR 영상자료를 함께 사용함으로서, 보다 다양한 파장과 관측형태를 활용할 수 있는 장점을 극대화 할 수 있는 것으로 사료된다. 본 지역에서 연안에 발달한 용천의 분포와 선구조 혹은 수계망과의 연관은 거의 없는 것으로 사료되나, 중산간 지역에 발달한 일부 용천은 선구조와 연관되어 발달한 것으로 사료된다. SAR 및 광학원격탐사 자료를 이용한 용천의 위치파악을 위한 연구결과는 계상보다 힘든 것으로 나타났다. 이를 위해 열적외선 관측자료를 이용한 연안의 온도분포와 관측된 SAR 자료로부터 정규화된 레이더단면을 이용한 분석이 실시되었다. 해수의 온도는 소규모의 온도 이상분포가 방사상으로 나타나는 경우 가장 용천의 위치와 연관성이 높은 것으로 판단되나 해상도가 충분하지 못하며, SAR 의 경우 해상의 상태와 speckle 잡음의 영향으로 육지에 어느 정도 대규모의 저수지가 발달하지 않은 경우를 제외하고는 용천의 위치를 파악하는 데는 효과적이지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 본 지역에 얻어지는 SAR 자료의 speckle 및 영상특성은 입사각에 매우 민감하며, 특히 작은 입사각을 갖는 ERS-1의 경우가 비교적 큰 입사각을 갖는 RADARSAT SAR 영상보다 낮은 speckle 잡음비와 구조적 특징을 잘 반영하였다. 따라서 향후 제주도 지역에 대한 RADARSAT SAR 영상 획득을 위해서는 약 30$^{\circ}$이하의 낮은 입사각을 갖는 모드를 이용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

수평아리 사체를 이용한 효모의 최적 배양 조건과 효모배양물이 육계의 성장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수평아리 추출물의 단백질 농도는 72시간 동안 추출되었을 때 가장 높았으며, 수평아리 사체에서 추출물을 얻기 위한 물의 첨가 비율은 수평아리 사체의 무게에 1.5배(v/w ratio)가 적당하였다. 수평아리 사체의 추출물에서 지방은 효모의 성장에 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 수평아리 사체의 추출물과 4% sugarcane molasses로 구성된 SCELP2 배지는 1% yeast extract, 2% bacto pepton 그리고 2% glucose로 구성된 YEPD 배지보다 효모수가 26% 더 증가하였다. 또한 SCELP2 배지에 4% 폐이스트를 첨가한 SBYW2 배지는 SCELP2 배지보다 효모수가 8% 증가하였다. SBYW2 배지에서 배양된 효모배양물을 5주 동안 육계에 급여한 결과 종체량은 4% 첨가구가 대조구보다 9% 증가하였다. 따라서 본 연구 결과 부화부산물로 발생되는 수평아리 사체는 사료용 효모배양물을 생산하기 위한 효모배양 배지의 질소원으로서 이용될 수 있음을 의미한다.

Objectives : In this study, it was investigated the effects of solid-phase fermentation extraction with Phellinus linteus of discarded Schisandra chinensis extract (PS) and its action mechanism on dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy in mice. Methods : In mice, muscle atrophy model was induced by dexamethasone (5 mg/kg, I.p) once daily for 2 weeks and with PS extract administration (100 and 300 mg/kg, p.o.) as treatment groups. The changes in body weights, grip strength, Treadmill test, muscle weights, and the expression of atrophy-related genes were measured in muscle atrophy mice. The histological changes of gastrocnemius tissues were also observed by H&E staining with measurement of myofiber size. Results : The administration of PS extract increased significantly body weights, grip strength, treadmill test and muscle weights in muscle atrophy mice. PS extract administration increased significantly the area of myofibers and inhibited structural damages of muscle and increased significantly the expression of myogenin and decreased significantly the expression of MuRF1, Atrogin1 and phosphorylation of AMPK and PGC1α in muscle tissues of muscle atrophy mice. Conclusions : These results indicate that PS extract has a improvement effects on muscle atrophy with stimulation of myogenic differentiation and inhibition of mRNA degradation that could be related with the activation of AMPK and PGC1α signaling pathways in muscle. This suggests that PS extract can apply to treat muscle atrophy in clinics.
