본 연구는 국내 생약중 도라지를 포함, 인삼, 당귀, 생강, 마 5가지를 선별하여 각 원물별로 항산화 활성 가장 높은 기준으로 증숙시킨 조건의 흑도라지, 흑삼, 흑당귀, 흑생강, 흑마를 확보하였다. 증숙시킨 5가지 생약은 다시 혼합 추출(BMHE; Black Mixed Herbal Extract)하여 증숙하지 않은 생약 혼합 추출물(MHE; Mixed Herbal extract)과 항산화, 항염 및 항알러지 활성을 비교하여 증숙공정이 생약의 생리활성에 미치는 긍정적인 영향을 바탕으로 피부향장 소재로 활용가능성을 확인하고자 연구하였다. 실험은 MHE와 BMHE를 각각 50% Ethyl alcohol로 추출하여 감압농축하여 생리활성을 평가하였으며, MHE와 BMHE 추출물에 대한 세포생존률을 확인한 결과 $1,000{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 각각 89.4%와 95.3%의 세포생존률을 보임에 따라 $1,000{\mu}g/ml$ 이하의 농도에서 HME와 BMHE 모두 세포독성이 거의 적은 것을 확인하였다. DPPH radical scavenging effects 항산화 활성에 대하여 MHE와 BMHE을 비교한 결과 농도 의존적으로 항산화 활성을 보였으며 $1,000{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서는 각각 66.8%와 74.2%의 라디칼 소거능을 확인하였다. NO assay로부터 항염활성을 비교한 결과에서도 MHE와 BMHE 모두 농도 의존적으로 NO의 함량 감소시켰으며 $1,000{\mu}g/ml$로 처리한 농도에서는 59.5%와 64.7%의 억제율을 각각 보임에 따라 항염 효과도 우수한 것을 확인하였다. 항알레르기 효능 실험 중 하나인 5-LO 억제효능을 측정하여 ME와 BME의 항알러지 효능을 측정한 결과 상기의 결과와 마찬가지로 농도 의존적으로 5-Lipoxygenase를 억제하였으며, $1,000{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 MHE와 BMHE를 처리하였을 시 5-Lipoxygenase 효소활성에 대하여 각각 76.2%와 83.5%의 높은 억제율을 확인 하였다. 이는 양성대조군인 EGCG를 $200{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 처리한 9.10%에 근접한 억제율을 보임에 따라 항알러지 효과가 우수한을 확인할 수 있었다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 BMHE가 MHE보다 항산화, 항염, 항알러지 활성이 우수한 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 이는 증숙기법이 생약의 생리활성을 높여주는 것은 물론 더 나아가 본 연구를 통해 확보된 5가지 흑도라지, 흑삼, 흑당귀, 흑생강, 흑마는 향후 피부향장 소재로 활용이 용이할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was performed to discover the comparison of the understory species composition and the growth velocity of the regeneration seedlings in Pinus densiflora forests being managed by the seed-tree method from 2008 year. The investigation site located in Bonghwa, Gyeongsangbuk-do province was established by eighteen quadrats such as six control ones, six slope ones and 6 concave ones, in which we carried out the vegetation survey and measured annual height growth of each seedlings. As a result of vegetation analysis, the understory vegetation of the seed-tree forest area was mainly composed of shrub plants such as Lespedeza bicolor, Zanthoxylum schinifolium, Securinega suffruticosa, Lespedeza maximowiczii and Stephanandra incisa, herb plants such as Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens, Carex humilis var. nana, Spodiopogon sibiricus and Artemisia keiskeana, and vine plants such as Pueraria lobata, Smilax sieboldii, Dioscorea batatas, Actinidia arguta, Vitis amurensis and Rubus crataegifolius. Especially, the vine plants were relatively more imported to the concave site than the control site and the slope site. As a result of measurement of growth velocity, the seedlings of the Pinus densiflora appeared to be 3,175 trees/ha for the non-suppressed trees and 7,842 trees/ha for the suppressed trees. In cases of the concave site, individuals of seedlings were much lower than those on the slope site, probably due to the competition effects of vine plants. Consideringly, silvicultural practices for clearing the vine plants should be inevitably accompanied. Also, the growth velocity of the suppressed and non-suppressed trees has been constantly increasing, those of the non-suppressed trees much higher than the suppressed trees. This represents that the seedlings grow rapidly after the suppressed period with competition to the surrounding plants. Therefore, specific practices such as blush control and vine clear should be carried out at the beginning stage of regeneration in the seed-tree stand.

This study has observed the development, structure and distribution of oil canals in mitsuba, seri, ashitaba and hamabohu, that are condiment herbs belonging to the Umbelliferae family, using a light microscope. Oil canals were found in the petioles, leaf blades, stems, roots, hypocotyls and cotyledons. Oil classified into distribution due to ring vascular bundles, as in mitsuba and seri, and distribution due to diffuse vascular bundles, as in ashitaba and hamabohu. Oil canal development in the cortex due to petiole thickening was followed by the development of collenchyma and vascular bundles. However, no vascular bundles were formed in some cases. Many oil canals were found in the periphery of the petioles. Oil canals in leaf blades were found on the adaxial and abaxial sides on the veins. Those around the main veins were larger. Steam oil canals were found in the cortex and pith in mitsuba and seri, and in the cortex and fundamental tissues around the xylem, in ashitaba and hamabohu, while those in the roots were found in the pericycle in mitsuba and seri, and in the collenchyma-like tissues and phloem in ashitaba and hamabohu. The transverse sections of oil canals were round or elliptical. The secretory cells in the cortex and pith were smaller than the neighboring parenchyma cells, while they were larger than the neighboring parenchyma cells in the phloem.

Bovine k-casein macropeptide was prepared by adding TCA (3, 6, and $12\%$) treatment after chymosin reaction. Each TCA soluble macropeptide was fractionated into five peak by ion exchange column chromatography. In proportiion to TCA concentrations, the ratio of peak area showed different the elution pattern. At the 6 and $12\%$ TCA concentration, area ratio of P-I which did not content carbohydrates was decreased to 19.9 and $17.0\%$ of total peak area respectively. The area of P-III was changed from $10.2\%\;to\;26.2\;and\;13.2\%$ when the TCA concentration was increased from 3 to 6 and $12\%$ Cholera toxin binding activity of k-casein macropeptide eluted at $0.17\~0.18M$ NaCl gradient was not inhibited by 6 and $12\%$ TCA treatments. The use of $6\%$ TCA as extraction buffer was feasible and led to an effective separation of the peak III.

The objective of this study was to investigate the site and growth characteristics of dominating Cornus controversa in the hardwood stands at Mt. Gariwang and Mt. Joongwang area located in Pyungchang-gun, Kangwon-do. The C. controversa was mainly distributed at the rather steep slope and aspect facing from northeast to northwest, and altitudes ranging from 800 to 1,100m. The C. controversa grew at relatively deep A soil layer with high moisture and nutrients. Major competing species in upper stories were Quercus mongolica, Acer mandshuricum, Salix hulteni, Acer pictum, and herb plants such as Polystichum tripteron, Dryopteris crassirhizoma, Meehania urticifolia, Pseudostellaria pahbiniana, Ligularia fischeri, Impatiens noli-tangere, Corydalis speciosa in the floor. The average annual diameter growth of C. controversa according to the altitude was $4.06({\pm}0.90)mm$ below 900m, $2.51({\pm}0.65)mm$ from 900 to 1,000m, $3.28({\pm}0.12)mm$ from 1,000m to 1,100m and $2.81({\pm}0.35)mm$ above 1,100m. Good annual growth was shown at northwest site, but no difference due to micro-topography.

To investigate the procedure of natural plant succession on cutting slope in the forest roads, considered elapsed years and regional distribution, data were collected from natural and artificial treatment slope. And to elucidate the effective methods of revegetation on forest road slope, each seeding experiments carried out with 4 species(Themeda triandra, Lysimachia clethroides, Artemisia princeps and Lespedeza cyrtobotrya). The pioneer species on cutting slope in the forest road were Pinus densiflora, Lespedeza bicolor, Rhubus crataegiflora etc. in wood species, and Arundinella spp., Lysimachia barystachys, Artemisia spp. etc. in herb species. In process of year, plant coverage was increased and average of plant coverage was 30% in road slope which elapsed 5 years after construction. On short slope less than 3m, broadcast seeding method with straw mulch was more effective way than the other methods. Slope revegation work should be adapted with forest road construction work and revegetation work with native species will be effective.

This study was performed to evaluate the potentiality of Reynoutria elliptica Migo., being used as a folk remedy and a herb medicine for urethritis, cystitis, etc., on growth inhibition of Helicobacter pylori which is known as the ulcerogenic pathogen. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of methanol extract from Reynoutria elliptica Migo, was determined to be 120 ppm for H. pylori and urease activity derived from H. pylori was inhibited over 80% by the extract at 2 mg/mL in urea broth. Among various solvent fraction of the methanol extract, the hexane fraction showed a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of H. pylori reducing both its growth and urease activity. Scanning and transmission electron micrographs of H. pylori treated with the methanol extract at 2 mg/mL for 3 hr showed that the cell walls and membranes were disrupted so that the cytoplasmic components were leaked from the body. These results suggest that Reynoutria elliptica Migo. possesses a therapeutic potential on the gastric disease caused by H. pylori.

We examined the enhancement of thermotolerance for storage conferred on Lactobacillus acidophilus 30SC by adaptation to different stresses. The viable cells of Lactobacillus acidophilus 30SC were compared with their viability prior to heating at $45,\;55^{\circ}C\;and\;60^{\circ}C$. Heat-adapted ($45^{\circ}C$ for 15 min) L. acidophilus 30SC in MRS broth exhibited higher survivability at lethal temperature of $55^{\circ}C$ than control. Cellular protein profiles of L. acidophilus 30SC during heat adaptation were examined with SDS-PAGE, and scanning electron microscopy. When L. acidophilus 30SC was heat-adapted at $55^{\circ}C$ for 15min, 5 new protein spots of ca $8\~45\;kDa$ size were observed on 2D SDS-PAGE. It was presumed that new proteins of L. acidophilus 30SC were produced to adapt to the environment of higher growth temperature.

We have investigated the immunomodulatory activity of water extracts of Acanthopanax divaricatus var. alveofructus in male ICR mice. Mice were administrated with fermented milk containing freeze-dried extract 3 mg/Kg (A), 9 mg/kg (B), 27 mg/Kg (C) per body weight with A. divaricatus var. alveofructus (loots : leaves : stem) : Codonopsis lanceolata = (5 : 2 : 1.5) : 1.5 for 7 and 10 weeks, respectively. Body weight, relative organ weight, cellularity of lymphoid organs, plaque- forming cell (PFC) assay, agglutination (AGG) test and lymphoproliferation were examined in various groups of animals. Any significant differences of body weight gain were not recorded in the tested ICR mice. There was significant different (p<0.05) in the spleen index in B group of 10 weeks and C group of 7 weeks fed mouse. The thymus gain weight was increased during administration of the extract, but there was no significant increase on other organs gain. Humoral immunity as measured by PFC showed more decreased PFC level in 10 weeks than in 7 weeks. In the HT, A. divaricatus var. albeofructus extract also showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in C group of 10 weeks. Administration of extracts from A. divaricatus var. albeofructus increased significantly in the production of IgG antibodies on the mice immunized with SRBC in B group of 7 and 10 weeks (p<0.05).

Antioxidant and anti-hyperglycemic activities of fermented red ginseng added with 5 kinds of medicinal herbs (FRGM) were investigated in vitro. Total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents in FRGM extracts were $22.41{\pm}3.51$ and $16.80{\pm}4.22{\mu}g/mg$, respectively. FRGM extracts were capable of directly scavenging DPPH free radicals ($RC_{50}=95.57{\pm}7.40{\mu}g/mL$), and then showed higher inhibitory activities for ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. This study was also conducted to evaluate the effects of FRGM extracts in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic (DM) rats. The activities with regards to serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were significantly decreased by FRGM extracts compared to those from the STZ group. The hepatic glutathione content depleted by STZ was significantly increased by FRGM extracts, but elevation of lipid peroxide content induced by STZ was significantly decreased by FRGM extracts. The decreased activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase after STZ-treatment were increased through the treatment of FRGM extracts. These results indicated that fermented red ginseng added with medicinal herbs can protect against STZ-induced diabetic rats through its antioxidant properties.
