십전대보탕의 10가지 구성 천연물을 열수추출하여 장관면역 활성을 비교 검토한 결과, 창출(Atractylodes lancea DC., ALR)과 인삼(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, PG)에서는 높은 활성을 나타내었으나 약한 활성을 갖는 황기(Astragalus membranacues, ASR)와 당귀(Angelica aculiloba Kitagawa, AR)를 제외하고는 어떤 생약에서도 거의 활성을 갖지 않았다. 한편 이러한 활성을 가진 생약(ALR, PG와 ASR) 중에서도 특히 ALR만이 종류, 생산지 및 육종조건에 관계없이 항상 일정하게 높은 활성을 보여주어 창출의 열수추출물 획분(ALR-0)이 십전대보탕의 장관면역 활성에 중요하게 관여하는 시료로 선정되었다. ALR-0 획분은 다시 용매별로 분획되어 메탄올-가용성 획분(ALR-1), 메탄올-불용성/에탄올-가용성 획분(ALR-2) 및 조다당 획분(ALR-3)으로 조제되었으며 이들의 활성을 측정한 결과, 단지 ALR-3 획분만이 Peyer's patch를 통한 골수세포의 증식을 활성화시키는 장관면역 활성을 시료농도에 의존적으로 나타내었으며 그 외의 획분에는 활성이 거의 없었다. 한편 ALR-3 획분을 $NaIO_4,\;NaClO_2$ 및 pronase로 처리한 후 활성을 측정한 결과, 모든 처리군에서 활성이 감소되었으며 특히 periodate 산화에 의해 심한 활성감소를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 십전대보탕의 장관면역 활성은 10종의 생약 중에서도 특히 창출이 중요하게 활성에 관여하는 것으로 보이며 다양한 용매별 분획을 통해 저분자보다는 에탄올에 침전된 고분자가 주요 함유물질인 조다당 획분이 장관면역 활성에 관여하는 것으로 추정되었다. 또한 periodate 산화에 의해 활성이 크게 감소되는 것으로 보아 주로 다당류가 창출의 장관면역에 중요한 활성물질인 것으로 생각된다.

Bupleuri radix (Umbelliferae), the dried root of Bupleurum Chinense DC, has been clinically used to mitigate pain sensation. The descending pain control system consists of three major components, and modulation of pain in the periaqueductal gray is the most extensively studied descending pain control system. However, the relation of Bupleuri radix on the descending pain control system has not been clarified. In the present study, modulation of the aqueous extract of Bupleuri radix on glycine-induced ion current in the acutely dissociated periaqueductal gray neurons was investigated by using nystatin-perforated patch-clamp technique under voltage-clamp condition. In the present results, the glycine-induced ion current was significantly suppressed by 0.1 mg/ml Bupleuri radix, while treatment with $10^{-5}\;M$ naltrexone, opioid receptor antagonist, alleviated Bupleuri radix-induced inhibition on glycine-induced ion current. The present study showed that the aqueous extract of Bupleuri radix may activate descending pain control system through inhibition on glycine-induced ion current in the periaqueductal gray neurons and this effect is mediated by opioid receptors.

Obejectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Yijin-tang on pacemaker potentials of small intestinal interstitial Cells of Cajal (ICC). Methods : To dissociate the ICC, we used enzymatic digestions from the small intestine in mice. The electrophysiological whole-cell patch-clamp configuration was used to record pacemaker potentials in the cultured ICC and the in vivo effects of Yijin-tang on GI motility were investigated by calculating percent intestinal transit rates (ITR). Results : 1. The ICC generated pacemaker potentials in the murine small intestine. Yijin-tang produced membrane depolarization with concentration-dependent manners in the current clamp mode. 2. Pretreatment with a Ca²⁺ free solution and thapsigargin, a Ca²⁺-ATPase inhibitor in the endoplasmic reticulum, stopped the pacemaker potentials. In the case of Ca²⁺-free solutions and thapsigargin, Yijin-tang did not induce membrane potential depolarizations. 3. U73122, a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitors, blocked the Yijin-tang-induced membrane potential depolarizations. However, U73343, an inactive PLC inhibitors, did not block. 4. In the presence of protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors, staurosporine or Rottlerin, Yijin-tang depolarized the pacemaker potentials. However, in the presence of Go6976, Yijin-tang did not depolarize the pacemaker potentials. 5. In mice, intestinal transit rate (ITR) values were significantly and dose-dependently increased by the intragastric administration of Yijin-tang. Conclusions : These results suggest that Yijin-tang can modulate the pacemaker activity of ICC through an internal/external Ca²⁺ and PLC/PKC-dependent pathway in ICC. In addition, Yijin-tang is a good candidate for the development of a prokinetic agent.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Carthami flos on pacemaker potentials of small intestinal and colonic Interstitial Cells of Cajal (ICC). Methods : To dissociate the ICC, we used enzymatic digestions from the small intestine and colon in mice. In the ICC, the electrophysiological whole-cell patch-clamp configuration was used to record pacemaker potentials in the cultured ICC. Results : 1. The ICC generated pacemaker potentials in the murine small intestine and colon. 2. Pretreatment with a Ca²⁺ free solution and thapsigargin, a Ca²⁺-ATPase inhibitor in the endoplasmic reticulum, stopped the pacemaker potentials. In the case of Ca²⁺-free solutions, Carthami flos did not induce membrane depolarizations in the murine small intestine and colon. However, when thapsigargin in a bath solution was applied, Carthami flos induced membrane depolarizations only in the murine colon. 3. Pretreatment with 2-APB (transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) channel inhibitor) abolished the pacemaker potentials and suppressed Carthami flos-induced effects in the murine small intestine and colon. 4. However, pretreatment with T16Ainh-AO1 (Ca²⁺ activated Cl- channel; anoctamin 1 (ANO1) inhibitor) did not affect the pacemaker potentials and induced Carthami flos-induced effects only in the murine small intestine. Conclusions : These results suggest that Carthami flos can modulate the pacemaker activity of ICC and the mechanisms underlying pacemaking in ICC might be different in the small intestine and the colon.

Flos magnoliae (FM), the dry flower buds of Magnolia officinalis or its related species, is a traditional herbal medicine commonly used in Asia for symptomatic relief of and treating allergic rhinitis, headache, and sinusitis. Although several studies have reported the effects of FM on store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) via the ORAI1 channel, which is essential during intracellular calcium signaling cascade generation for T cell activation and mast cell degranulation, the effects of its isolated constituents on SOCE remain unidentified. Therefore, we investigated which of the five major constituents of 30% ethanoic FM (vanillic acid, tiliroside, eudesmin, magnolin, and fargesin) inhibit SOCE and their physiological effects on immune cells. The conventional whole-cell patch clamp results showed that fargesin, magnolin, and eudesmin significantly inhibited SOCE and thus human primary CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferation, as well as allergen-induced histamine release in mast cells. Among them, fargesin demonstrated the most potent inhibitory effects not only on ORAI1 (IC50 = 12.46 ± 1.300 μM) but also on T-cell proliferation (by 87.74% ± 1.835%) and mast cell degranulation (by 20.11% ± 5.366%) at 100 μM. Our findings suggest that fargesin can be a promising candidate for the development of therapeutic drugs to treat allergic diseases.

Two years ago, a 75-year-old female was diagnosed left renal cancer and went on radical nephrectomy. Recently, metastatized lesions on lumbar spine and various lymph nodes including paraaortic lymph node of which diameter was about 5.5 cm was identified. She suffered from extreme low back pain despite using opioid agents of fentanyl patch and oral oxycodone. During about one month, Korean medicine therpies including herbal medicine(Yang-He tang), acupuncture with her conventional medications were co-administered. However her pain didn't improved and gradual cough and dyspnea developed. So she transferred to the hemato-oncology part for 2 weeks under the diagnosis of everolimus-induced noninfectious pneumonitis. After quitting everolimus her pneumonitis was improved and she came back our ward and started another herbal medicine, Ai-Tong-Ning tang for about 2 months. During this period, her pain was well managed without oral opioid agents and her paraaortic lymph node was regressed to about 2.2cm in diameter.
