One Helicosporium strain, isolated from a wilted chestnut tree, evidenced in vitro antimicrobial activity against various types of bacteria and fungi, and generated a diffusible pigment. The antimicrobial compounds and the diffusible pigment of the Helicosporium sp. isolate were purified via solvent fractionation, column chromatography, and recycling preparative chromatography. Both the major antimicrobial compound and the diffusible pigment were identified as 2-methylresorcinol via nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Therefore, 2-methylresorcinol, a diffusible pigment generated by Helicosporium sp., appears to be an active antimicrobial principle. This pigment also exhibited considerable cytotoxicity against mammalian cells.

The methanol extracts of AraIia elata showed antimicrobial activity against bacteria. The antimicrobial active principle was successively purified with solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, silica gel partition column chromatography and HPLC. The active substance was isolated by HPLC on $C_{18}$ column with an acetic acid-MeOH system. The active substance was identified as trans-4-hydroxycinnamic acid by MS, $^1H-NMR\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$.

A phenyl propanoid derivative, dillapionall(7) was found to be a antimicrobial principle of the stems of Foeniculum vuigare (Umbelliferae) with MIC values of 125, 250 and 125/ against Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger and Cladosprium cladosporioides respectively. A coumarin derivative, scopoletin(2) was also isolated as marginally antimicrobial agent along with inactive compounds, dillapiol(3), bergapten(4), imperatorin(5) and psolaren(6) from this plant. The isolates 1-6 were not active against the Escherichia coli.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity of petroleum ether and ethanol extracts of Scutia myrtina (Family: Rhamnaceae). In anti-inflammatory activity carrageenan and histamine induced paw oedema and cotton pellet induced granuloma for acute and chronic inflammatory models were studied in Wister albino rats. Based on the results of the present study it can be concluded that petroleum ether and ethanol extract of Scutia myrtina at 400 mg/kg has potential anti-inflammatory effect and they act in a dose dependent manner. Both extracts of Scutia myrtina showed antimicrobial activity against all bacterial and fungal strains tested at the concentration of $100\;{\mu}g$/ml. From the result, it can be concluded that the Scutia myrtina contain antibacterial and antifungal principle. Further more, besides the confirmation of the popular use; the obtained results demonstrate this herbal drug to represent a new source of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent.

서양산 고추냉이 (Horseradish, Armoracia rusticana)의 항균 성분 중 주 성분인 Allyl isothiocyanate(AIT)는 천연물을 이용한 추출이나 유기합성을 통해서 얻을 수 있으며, 이제까지 사용되고 있는 항균제품 및 식품첨가물들은 주로 유기합성법에 의해서 얻어졌다. 이전 연구에서 서양산 고추냉이 천연추출물의 다양한 구강 내 미생물에 대한 항균활성은 보고된 바 있으나 유기합성한 AIT용액의 구강 내 미생물에 대한 항균활성은 아직까지 연구된 바가 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유기합성을 통해 얻은 AIT 용액과 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 천연추출물의 구강 내 미생물에 대한 항균활성을 평가하였다. 항균활성을 평가하기 위해 최소억제농도와 최소 살균농도를 측정하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 본 연구에 사용된 7종의 구강 내 미생물에 대한 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 천연추출물의 최소억제농도는 약 117$\sim$1,750 ppm(0.0117$\sim$0.175%)이었으며, 유기합성한 AIT 용액의 최소억제농도는 약 344$\sim$3,000 ppm(0.0344$\sim$0.3%)으로 모든 균주에 대해 항균활성을 나타내었다. 2. 본 연구에 사용된 7종의 구강 내 미생물에 대한 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 천연추출물의 최소살균농도는 약 625.2$\sim$6,000 ppm(0.06252$\sim$0.6%)이었으며, 유기합성한 AIT용액의 최소살균농도는 약 1,750$\sim$7,000 ppm(0.175$\sim$0.7%)이었다.

Purpose: Hydrofluoric acid(HF) is one of the most dangerous mineral acids with the dissociated fluoride ions. The initial corrosive burn is caused by free hydrogen ion, and the second and more severe burn is caused by penetration of fluoride ions into subcutaneous tissues. Silver is a cation producing dressing, an effective antimicrobial agent, but older silver-containing formulations are rapidly inactivated by wound environment, requiring frequent replenishment. But, $Acticoat^{(R)}$ is a relatively new form of silver dressing which helps avoid the problems of earlier agents. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of $Acticoat^{(R)}$, silver-containing dressing on the treatment for HF injury wound. Methods: From september 2006 to september 2007, the study was carried out with 10 patients who had HF partial thickness burns. $Acticoat^{(R)}$ dressing and 10% calcium gluconate wet gauze dressings in 10 cases. As a principle, in the emergency treatment, partial or complete removal of the nail and early bullectomy along with copious washing with normal saline was done, depending on the degree of HF invasion of the wound. Wound was dressed with $Acticoat^{(R)}$ and 10% calcium gluconate solution. The effect of dressing was investgated by serial bacterial culture and wound exudates assessment. Results: We therefore reviewed 10 cases of HF-induced chemical burns and treatment principle. The 10 cases who came to the hospital nearly immediately after the injury healed completely without sequelae. Conclusion: As the industrial sector develops, the use of HF is increasing more and more, leading to increased incidences of HF-induced chemical burns. The education of patients regarding this subject should be empathized accordingly. In conclusion, $Acticoat^{(R)}$ dressing is a better choice for HF partial thickness burn injuries because of shorter healing time, less pain and more comfortable dressing.

Marine sponges are a rich source of highly diversified bioactive compounds. These medicinally valuable molecules represent extreme physiological and ecological functions in sponges, more presumably involving in the resistance to the feeding by other marine organisms like fish and fouling by barnacles, bacteria, fungi, etc. This feature of attaining resistance made sponges as successful poriferans that possess an impressive array of biological properties ranging from antimicrobial to anticancerous activities. The diversified bioactive principle of sponges might be due to their spacio-temporal distribution and although, the gateway for exploiting the sponges for isolating these distinct, potential molecules is open, suitable technical and methodological approaches are yet to be implemented in order to bring the sponges as successful pharmaceutical leads in the field of marine biotechnology. Despite of the identified difficulties of marine sponge research from past few decades, one should concentrate not only on the basic and applied technical/methodological considerations, but also on the novel strategies like in vitro sponge cell, fragment and whole sponge culture; sponge symbiont cell culture; in situ and ex situ sponge cultivation; and sponge bioreactors and metagenomic approaches, for the successful exploitation of marine sponges towards the novelty in sponge biotechnology. The present review narrates the pros and cons of the nowadays-marine sponge research by focusing on the suggestive ecobiotechnological approaches, based on the latest studies for feasible ecological exploitation and biotechnological application of sponges from the sea.

치수 및 치근단의 감염은 미생물에 의해 야기되며, 성공적인 근관치료는 근관 내의 미생물의 수를 감소시키는 것에 의해 좌우된다. 서양산 고추냉이(Horseradish, Armoracia ruticana)의 주성분인 Allyl isothiocyanate (AIT)는 여러 연구에서 항균효과가 있음이 보고되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 근관세척제로써 서양산 고추냉이 추출물의 항균효과를 알아보고자 발거된 사람의 치아에 Enterococcus faecalis를 접종하여, 대표적인 근관세척제인 차아염소산나트륨(NaOCl)과 항균력을 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을얻었다. 1. 치큰관 내를 21일간 E. faecalis에 감염시키고, 근관세척제로써 각 실험군을 1분간 적용한 후 1차 표본(S1)을 채취하여 배양한 결과, 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물은 $5.815{\times}10^3$ CFU/ml, NaOCl은 $3.465{\times}10^3$ CFU/ml이었다(p=0.086). 2. 1차 표본을 채취한 후 실험 치아를 7일 동안 더 배양하여 2차 표본(S2)을 채취한 결과 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물은 $3.100{\times}10^3$ CFU/ml, NaOCl은 $5.252{\times}10^5$ CFU/ml로, 서양산 고추냉이 뿌리 추출물을 적용한 실험 치아에서 더 적은 수의 세균수가 측정되었다(p<.05). 3. NaOCl로 근관세척을 시행한 치아의 1차 표본(S1)과 2차 표본(S2)을 채취하여 배양한 결과 2차 표본에서 CFU 값이 더 증가하였다(p<.05). 반면에 고추냉이 추출물로 근관세척을 시행한 치아의 1차 표본(S1)과 2차 표본(S2)을 채취하여 배양한 결과 유의한 차이는 없는 것(p=0.076)으로 보아 근관세척후 7일 후에도 향균효과가 지속됨을 알 수 있었다.
