Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) is a fast-growing species that exhibits a lower natural resistance than that exhibited by the timber sourced from natural forests. Jabon's resistance to termite attack can be improved by impregnating its wood structure with poisonous organic materials. This study examined jabon's resistance to termite attack when impregnated with wood vinegar and an animal adhesive. The wood specimens were impregnated using sengon wood vinegar and an animal adhesive (8% and 10%, respectively) using a vacuum pressure machine. The specimens were tested for their resistance to subterranean and dry-wood termites according to Indonesian National Standard (SNI 7207-2014). The results denoted that jabon impregnated with wood vinegar and an animal adhesive concentration of at least 8% with the addition of 4% borate was effective to resist termite attacks. The impregnated jabon exhibited a lower weight loss and higher termite mortality when compared with those exhibited by the control specimens. Thus, the resistance class improved from class IV to class I.

Background: The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of storage conditions on the growth of Saururus chinensis (Lour.) Baill. rootstock. Methods and Results: Rootstocks of S. chinensis were stored in either soil or vermiculite that had been treated with a control treatment, diluted wood vinegar (50 or 100-fold), DF-100 (50-fold), or 1-naphthylacetamide and at $5^{\circ}C$ or $15^{\circ}C$. After 8 weeks, the stored roots were planted in the field, and both plant height and leaf number were observed after transplantation. The greatest number of leaves ($5.60{\pm}0.80$) was produced by roots that had been stored in soil treated with 100 fold dilution of wood vinegar and at $5^{\circ}C$. Meanwhile the maximum plant height ($6.92{\pm}0.78cm$) at 30 d after transplanting was observed for rootstocks that had been stored in soil treated with the 100 fold dilution of wood vinegar and at $15^{\circ}C$, whereas the maximum plant height at 60 d after transplanting ($26.46{\pm}0.71cm$) was observed for rootstocks that had been stored in soil treated with the 100-fold dilution of wood vinegar and at $5^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the storage of rootstocks in soil treated with the 100-fold dilution of wood vinegar and at temperatures at or below $5^{\circ}C$ was most effective, and it can be used to prevent the decay of roots during the postharvest management of S. chinensis rootstocks. Conclusions: The results of the present study indicate that, among the parameters examined, the storage of roots in soil that had been treated with the 100-foil dilution of wood vinegar is the most effective method for improving the growth of S. chinensis.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize molecular structures derived from microbes including bacteria, viruses, yeast, and fungi. TLRs have emerged as a major signaling component of the mammalian host defense. TLR4 is a member of the Toll family that senses lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a cell wall component of gram negative bacteria. LPS recognition by TLR4 requires an additional accessory molecule, MD-2. LPS induces the activation of NF-${\kappa}B$ and IRF3 through MyD88 or TRIF-dependent pathways. The activation of NF-${\kappa}B$ leads to the induction of inflammatory gene products including cytokines and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). This study was carried out to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of oak wood vinegar. Oak wood vinegar inhibits the NF-${\kappa}B$ activation and COX-2 expression induced by LPS. These results provide new ideas to understand the mechanism of oak wood vinegar for its anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory activities.

The effects of environment-friendly materials carbonized rice hull and wood vinegar on the improvement of rice quality and soil fertility were investigated. Combined application of carbonized rice hull and chemical fertilizer resulted in lower protein in rice, similar amylose content and generally higher palatability values. Combined application of wood vinegar and chemical fertilizer obtained high protein and amylose contents, and palatability values. However, both carbonized rice hull and wood vinegar did not exhibit weed control. In the carbonized rice hull treatments, soil K was high during heading stage while soil pH during harvest stage was low. In the case of wood vinegar treatments, clear distinction between total K and Ca was observed. K was high during tillering stage while Ca was high until harvest stage.

The antimicrobial effect of the wood vinegar of C. japanica sapwood and its constituents was evaluated against Ralstonia salanacearum, Phytophthora capsid, Fusarium oxysporum, and Pythium splendens. Phenols and guaiacols had a strong antimicrobial effect against four kinds of microorganisms, but methanol and acetic acid exhibited little or no antimicrobial activity.

This study is a continuation of our previous work, which focused on the resistance of jabon wood to termites after impregnation with wood vinegar (WV) and animal-based adhesive (kak). This paper presents the physicomechanical properties of fast-growing jabon wood impregnated with kak at two concentrations (8% and 10%) in wood vinegar or water as a solvent with and without 4% borax. The physical properties of the impregnation solution, that is, viscosity, density, pH, and solid content, were evaluated according to SNI 06-4567-1998. Some physical parameters, such as weight percent gain (WPG), density, water uptake, anti-swelling efficiency (ASE), crystallinity, and mechanical properties, i.e., modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and compression strength parallel to the grain (CS), of the impregnated wood were determined. Based on these results, wood impregnated using a mixture of kak in WV presented better physical (increased WPG, density, dimensional stability, and crystallinity) and mechanical (increased MOE/MOR and compression strength) properties than wood impregnated with a water solvent or untreated wood. The wood impregnated using WV and water solvent improved the physical and mechanical properties. The density of the wood increased by 44%-58% and 32%-47%, ASE radial-tangential increased by 38%-45%; 15%-28% after 24 h of water immersion, crystallinity increased by 59%-74%; 36%, MOE increased by 46%-57%; 28%-31%, MOR increased by 29%-34%; 14%-27%, and compression strength increased by 40%-76%; 38%-72% values to untreated wood.

제초제에 의한 인축 및 환경오염 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안의 하나로 최근 유기농가 목초액을 잡초방제에 도입하려는 시도를 하고 있다. 본 실험의 목적은 유기농가에서 사용하고 있는 신갈나무 목초액의 살초효과를 검정하는데 있다. 목초액 0.01%는 고형배지에서 피(Echinochloa crus-gulli P. Beauv), 개밀(Agropyron smithii RYDB), 캐놀라(Brassica napus L.), 어저귀(Abutilon avicennae Gaetrn), 자귀풀(Aeschynomene indica L.), 수수(Sorghum bicolor Moench)의 생장에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않았으나, $0.1{\sim}1%$는 식물의 생장을 둔화시켰고, > 5%는 식물의 생장을 완전저해시켰다. 목초액 1배량(80L $80L^{-1}\;10a^{-1}$)을 토양처리시 캐놀라, 어저귀, 피, 바랭이(Digitaria sanguinalis Scop.)의 생장은 아무런 영향을 받지 않은 반면, 경엽처리시 식물의 생장은 1/2배량 혹은 1배량 처리시 둔화되었다. 목초액의 살초력을 춘천과 태백 2곳의 포장에서 검정한 결과, 목초액 1배량 처리구의 잡초생체중은 무처리구의 잡초생체중과 비교하여 $34{\sim}36%$ 작았으나, >1/2배량 처리구의 잡초생체중은 무처리구의 잡초생체중과 차이가 없었다. 그러나 목초액 1배량의 살초력은 glyphosate 1/2 배량의 살초력에도 훨씬 못미쳤기에 목초액의 실제 살초력은 매우 낮은 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 목초액의 섭취가 훈련된 흰쥐의 항산화방어기전에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 실험대상으로는 Sprague-Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐를 사용하였는데 실험그룹은 비운동 대조군과 운동 대조군, 목초액 섭취 비 운동 대조군, 목초액 섭취 운동 대조군으로 나누어 수행하였는데 체중과 혈중성분 변화, 글리코겐 함량, SOD 활성 수준, MDA 함량에 관한 분석을 하였다. 체중과 체지방(장간막, 복막후, 부고환)은 각 그룹 간에 유의한 차이가 없었고, TG와 FFA 농도도 목초액 섭취로 인한 차이는 없었다. Glucose 농도는 대조군 보다 운동군에서 유의한 차이를 나타내었으나 목초액 섭취로 인한 차이는 없었다. 목초액 투여 운동군에서의 SOD 활성은 다른 그룹보다 유의하게 높았다. 운동 대조군에서의 MDA 함량은 비운동 대조군보다 유의하게 낮게 나타났으나 대조군과 목초액 투여군 간의 차이는 없었다. 결론적으로 운동과 목초액 섭취는 산화적 스트레스의 감소에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 것으로 예상된다.

활성 산소종은 반응성이 매우 크고 지질, 단백질 및 핵산에 산화를 유발하여 잠재적으로 세포에 매우 해로운 물질이다. 활성 산소종은 또한 인체에 있어서 노화, 발암, 죽상경화증 유발과 같은 해로운 영향을 준다고 알려졌다. 본 연구에서는 총산도, 초산, pH 및 총 폴리페놀과 총 플라보노이드의 함량 등을 분석하였고, 생물전환된 목초액의 항산화 활성을 조사하기 위하여 DPPH, 초과산화물 음이온, 과산화수소, 산화질소 라디칼 소거 활성을 측정하였다. 생물전환된 목초액의 총산도와 초산의 양은 생물전환 전보다 낮았지만, pH는 오히려 높게 나타났다. 생물전환된 목초액의 총 폴리페놀과 총 플라보노이드의 함량은 각각 11.17 mg/$m{\ell}$ 과 0.42 mg/$m{\ell}$였다. 생물전환된 목초액의 각종 라디칼을 50% 소거하는 농도는 초과산화물 라디칼 소거활성 < DPPH 라디칼 소거활성 < 과산화수소 라디칼 소거활성 < 산화질소 라디칼 소거활성 순으로 나타났다. 따라서 목초액을 생물전환할 경우 여러 가지 라디칼에 대한 소거활성을 높여 천연 의약품 및 화장품 소재로 개발 가능성이 있음을 알 수 있다.
