  • Pulsatillae Radix and Cicadidae Periostracum have long been used for treatment of injuries, inflammations or itchiness in Korea. This study was carried out to examine the acne-remedy effects of the mixture made with equal parts of Pulsatillae Radix extract and Cicadidae Periostracum extract (PRCP) compared with 2%-benzoyl peroxide (Standard) used commercially as anti-acne. The results showed the mixture (PRCP) was more effective than each crude drug extract. The 10%-PRCP showed significant antimicrobial activity against Propionibacterium acnes, the major cause of acne, and also showed significant inhibition from type 1 $5{\alpha}$-reductase ($5{\alpha}R$), another cause of acne, And the cream made with PRCP demonstrated anti-sebum and acne-improvement effects on examinee's facial skin.

  • Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by dopaminergic neuronal loss in the substantia nigra, resulting in reduced dopamine levels and consequent motor dysfunction. Genetic and environmental factors contribute to oxidative stress in PD. Cicadidae Periostracum (CP), a traditional Korean medicine, has shown neuroprotective effects against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity in PD. However, its effects on the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) model have not been established. This study examined CP's effects on a 6-OHDA-induced PD model. CP protected against 6-OHDA damage in both in vitro and in vivo studies. Furthermore, CP reduced the production of reactive oxygen species, inhibited apoptosis, preserved dopamine levels, protected tyrosine hydroxylase in the substantia nigra, and improved motor function. These findings suggest that CP may delay PD progression by maintaining the redox balance.

  • Objective : Cicadae Periostracum (CP), which is the discarded shell of the Cryptotympana atrata (Fabricius, 1775), is a recognized component of oriental medicine for treatment sore throat, itching, shock, sedation, edema. However, the safety and toxicity of CP have not yet been established. It has been reported that symptoms of addiction or side effects may occur in patients who take high doses of CP or who are hypersensitive to it. Therefore, we investigated the acute toxicity of an CP extracts in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Methods : To study acute toxicity, five SD rats of each sex per group were treated with CP extracts at single doses of 0, 500, 1000, or 2000 mg/kg administrated by oral gavage, and body weight, clinical signs, and mortality were observed after dosing. At the end of 14-day observation period, all animals were sacrificed and complete hematological and macroscopic examinations were performed. Results : There were no dead animal and test article-related effects on body weight change or the gross finding. No toxicologically significant results were observed between control and treated groups in hematology. Although salivation related to stress at the highest dose was observed in clinical signs immediately after administration, it is considered to have no toxicological significance. Conclusion : As the results, we did not find any adverse effect at the dose levels of 500, 1000, or 2000 mg/kg in rats. The minimal lethal dose was considered to be over 2000 mg/kg body weight in rats.

피부각질형성세포에서 동의보감 충부약재 14 종이 염증성 사이토카인 생성에 미치는 영향 (Effects of 14 Chung-bu Medicinal Materials Described in the Dongui Bogam on Inflammatory Cytokines Production in HaCaT Keratinocytes)

  • 본 연구에서는 피부각질형성세포에서 동의보감에 기록된 14 종의 충부약재에 대한 염증성 사이토카인 생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이를 확인하기 위하여 멀티플렉스 사이토카인 분석으로 17 종에 대한 사이토카인을 스크리닝 하였다. 충부약재 14 종 중, 제조 및 전갈 추출물은 IL-5 생성을 억제하였고, 제조, 상표초 및 수질 추출물은 IL-6 생성을, 제조, 상표초, 지룡, 수질 및 문합 추출물은 IL-8 생성에 억제 효과를 보였다. 합개, 잠사, 선퇴 및 문합 추출물은 IL-13 생성을 억제하였으며, 귀판, 잠사 및 지룡 추출물은 MIP-1β 생성에 유의적인 효과를 확인하였다. 이러한 충부약재는 피부염증 억제를 위한 항염증제 활용 가능성에 의미를 둘 수 있지만, 그 가치를 증명하기 위해서는 피부개선을 위한 기전연구를 포함하여 인체피부모사판 모델에서 추가 실험을 통한 검증이 선행 되어야 한다.
