?In order to investigate effects of Zanthoxyli Fructus (Sample-A) and Fagarae mandshuricae Fructus (Sample-B), experimental study was performed through observation on isolated - ileum analgesic, hypothermal, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory, capillary permeability, blood flow rate, blood pressure and respiratory works. The results were as follows; 1. In spontaneous movement of mice isolated-ileum, both samples were noted to have strong inhibitory action after temporary contraction, and to show antagonism against acetylcholine chloride and barium chloride. 2. Both samples were showed to have antihistamin work on guinea pig isolated-ileum 3. In analgesic work by the acetic acid method, only Fagarae mandshuricae Fructus was proved to have significant analgesic effect in mice. 4. Both sample groups indicated anti-pyretic and anti-inflammatory effect. 5. Both samples were noted to have inhibitory effect against capillary permeability ?rise in mice. ?6. Both samples were noted to have dose-dependent falling effect on blood pressure in rabbits.

The present study examined the effect of a methanol extract of Evodiae Fructus on the cardiovascular function in N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (NAME)-induced hypertensive Wistar rats after treatment over 6 weeks. In rats treated with NAME, blood pressure, weight of heart, aorta media thickness and media/lumen ratio significantly (p<0.05) increased, whereas coronary flow and heart rate of isolated heart significantly (p<0.05) decreased compared with control group at 6 weeks. In rats treated with NAME and Evodiae Fructus, blood pressure, aorta media/lumen ratio significantly(p<0.05) decreased compared with NAME treated group at 6 weeks. These results suggest that Evodiae Fructus is applicable to the treatment of hypertension and vascular hypertrophy.

Objective; This study was designed to investigate the effect of Sa-am acupuncture and Arctii Fructus water extract on Post-herpetic Neuralgia. Method: We have treated them with acupuncture treatment of Sa-am acupuncture and Arctii Fructus water extract and evaluated the effect by Pain Rating Score(P.R.S.) and Visual Analogue Scale(V.A.S.) scale. Result: Before theraphy, the grades of Song's scale were P.R.S. 80 and V.A.S. 100, Kim's sclae's P.R.S. 77 and V.A.S. 100. After theraphy, the grades of song's scale were P.R.S. 5 and V.A.S. 10, Kim's scales's P.R.S. 10 and V.A.S. 10 Conclusion: The treatment of Sa-am-acupuncture and Arctii Fructus water extract on Post-herpetic Neuralgia was effective and will be attempted to the patients with it.

Food quality in food processing and storage were affected by the kinds of phenolics involved. To analyze phenolics of Chebulae Fructus by the way of GC-MSm methylation and trimethylsilyation(TMS) are necessary. The methods of methylation were dimethyl sulfate method and diazomethane method. so this study was undertaken to research the better methylation method before measuring GC-MS. But dimethyl sulfate method of methylation was not sufficient to analyze phenolics. So the phenolics of Chebulae Fructus were analyzed by the diazomethane methylation method and TMS with the pyridine, N-O-bis-trimethylsilyl-acetamide(BSTFA) and trimethylchlorosilane(TMCS). With the exception of pyrogallol and phloroglucinol in insoluble phenolics of Chebulae Fructus, the greater part of phenolics. analysis could be analyzed by GC-MS in company with diazomethane methylation method and TMS.

This study investigated the effect of Corni Fructus(Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc.) extract on hyperglycemia and renal function in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups including normal control(NC), diabetic control(DC), and diabetic treatment with Corni Fructus(DCF). Over a 4-week experimental period, Corni Fructus aqueous extract was administered orally at 500 mg/kg BW/day. The final fasting serum glucose, serum urea nitrogen, triglyceride, urinary total protein level, and relative weight of the left kidney in the DCF group were significantly lower than the DC group. Serum insulin level in the DCF group was higher than the DC group by 23%. The renal xanthine oxidase and superoxide dismutase activities in the DCF group were significantly lower than the DC group. The renal catalase activity in the DCF group was significantly higher than the DC group. In conclusion, these results indicated that Corni Fructus can reduce glucose level and prevent or retard the development of diabetic complication via its antioxidative effect and protecting against diabetic renal damage in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

We investigated the effects of Ponciri Fructus (PF) and Aurantii Fructus Immaturus (AI) on the cicular and longitudinal smooth muscle of rat gastric fundus. Methanol extracts of PF (PFM) and AI (AIM), water-fractions (PFW, AIW) and chloroform-fractions (PFC, AIC) of the extracts induced relaxation in the rat fundic circular muscle pre-contracted by U46619. All extracts showed relaxation without significant differences among the extracts. In the longitudinal smooth muscle, PFM and its water fraction, PFW, showed multiphasic effects, fast relaxation and rebound contraction followed by lasting relaxation. AIM and AIW showed diphasic effects, transient contraction followed by lasting relaxation. However, PFC and AIC induced only relaxation in the rat fundic longitudinal muscle contracted by U46619. PFM showed significantly more effective relaxation compared with PFW, AIM and AIW. Hesperidin, flavonoids known as common constituent of PF and AI and it's an aglycon, hesperetin, induced relaxation in both fundic circular and longitudinal smooth muscle pre-contracted by U46619. Poncirin, known as flavonoid content of PF showed also induced relaxation in the both circular and longitudinal smooth muscle pre-contracted by U46619. These results suggest that both PF and AI has relaxing effects on the gastric fundus smooth muscle and its effects might be caused by their flavonoids constituents.

Cornis fructus has been traditionally used for treating allergy, asthma, hepatitis, and chronic nephritis. It major chemical constituents have been saponins, phenolic acids and loganin. The main aim of the present study was to examine the effect of methanol extract from Cornis fructus on melanogenesis. Cell were cultured in the presence of methanol extracts from Cornis fructus for 48 h, and there were estimated total melanin content as a final product and activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme, in melanogenesis. Methanol extract from Cornis fructus increased the melanin content and tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner. Particularly, it was observed that only methanol extract $200\;{\mu}g/ml$ stimulated the melanin secretion in B16/F10 melanoma cells by 152% at 48 h treatment and the activity of tyrosinase was increased by 261% in the presence of same concentration.

호도에 4。Bx의 영지, 녹차 및 구기자물 추출물을 첨가하여 저장 안전성을 조사 비교한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 4。Bx로 제조한 천연 첨가물의 종류가 호도의 AV와 POV에 미치는 영향은 구기자가 가장 효과적이었으며, 영지<녹차의 순으로 나타났으나 저장기간 2개월까지 첨가물에 의한 영향은 거의 없었다. 저장기간이 증가함에 따라 첨가물에 의한 항산화효과가 증가되는 것으로 나타나 영지 첨가 시 2개월, 녹차 첨가 시 4개월, 구기자 첨가 시 8개월 연장하여 권장유통기간을 설정하여도 안전성을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 2. 4。Bx의 구기자는 가장 우수한 항산화력이 있어 호도의 저장 안전성을 높일 수 있는 것으로 생각되었으며 새로운 천연 항산화제로서의 응용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

The preventive effects of Sophorae Fructus extracts (I: hot water extract and II: combination product using I) on bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) rats were investigated. Sophorae Fructus extracts were orally administrated to OVX rats for 9 weeks. Ovariectomy caused the increase of body weight and deoxypyridinoline (Dpd: bone resorption marker) and decrease of calcium (Ca: bone formation marker) level in serum. Dpd level were significantly decreased and Ca levels were elevated at 9 weeks in Sophorae Fructus extracts administered groups after ovariectomy at a dose of 0.556 g/kg/day compared with control group. In administered groups, trabecular bone area (TBA) in the tibia and lumbar were also increased compared with control group in histomorphological analysis. The preventive or treatment effects of Sophorae Fructus extracts on bone loss in OVX rats appears to be due to suppression of bone turnover.
