Nutrients and drugs are similar to biological fate, such as absorption, metabolism and excretion. Such procedure may interact with nutrients and drugs. Drugs can influence nutrient absorption, metabolism or excretion ; the effects may impair the nutritional status of a patient. Specific nutrient, nutritional status, or dietary factors alter drug utilization. Therefore, medicated patients need to be aware of good nutrition practices and to understand the importance of dietary modifications associated with certain diseases. A nutritious and well balanced diet not only makes an important contribution to the health of those patients, but also reduces the risk of nutrition disorders or altered the pharmacological action of drugs.

In this study, dietitians working in the school foodservice industry in the Chungbuk region were surveyed to determine their perception of medicinal herbs and medicinal foods in order to obtain basic data for developing medicinal food menus. The findings of this study are as follows. Many of the dietitians had low confidence in medicinal herbs used in medicinal foods. However the more the subjects ate such food, the higher their perception was. The higher the perception and reliability were, the more positive the answer was in terms of taste, nutrition and efficacy. Regarding the familiarity with medicinal herbs, the subjects, regardless of their age, showed a high perception of easily accessible medicinal herbs; younger subjects preferred Schisandrae fructus, Rubi fructus and Acanthopanacis cortex. The higher the perception and the eating frequency were, the higher the familiarity was. Regarding the development of medicinal food menus, the older the subjects were, the more positive they viewed the development of menus. Also, dietitians with 15 years of experience showed a high interest in the development of new menus.

The research studied the nutritional composition and health effects of the Giwongo with its efficacy in providing nourishment to blood, liver and kidney as well as being an aid to the mental stability. The Giwongo is made by boiling the same amounts of Lycium fructus and Longanae arillus. Giwongo was analyzed to measure proximate nutritional composition, mineral contents, free sugar content and polyphenol compound content. The DPPH scavenging activity and its antioxidative effectiveness were also analyzed. Giwongo was composed of 16.7% water, 4.9% crude protein, 3.7% crude fat, 3.8%, crude ash 70.9% carbohydrate with the content per 100 g of 336.5 kcal. The Giwongo mineral contents were potassium, sodium and calcium in sequence according to contents. Per 100 g Giwongo were found 9.62 g glucose, 4.67 g fructose and 18.00 g sugar. The Giwongo had 60.67% DPPH electron donating ability and $32.19^{\circ}Brix$. The Giwongo made of Lycium fructus and Longanae arillus had effectiveness of tonify the liver and kidney, nourish blood, and psychologic stability.

The effects of red, blue, and far-red light by illumination of light emitting diodes (LEDs) on growth, morphogenesis and eleutheroside contents of in vitro plantlets of Eleutherococcus senticosus were examined. As a control, plantlets were grown under a broad spectrum white fluorescent lamp (16/8 h illumination). The length of plantlets grown under the red/blue LEDs was taller than those under fluorescent lamps. Leaf area, root length and fresh weight of plantlets were highest under blue light compared to other kinds of light sources. Chlorophyll contents in plantlets grown under fluorescent lamps were higher than those in plantlets grown under LED illumination. Production of eleuthroside B and E in plantlets was highest under blue LED. However, production of eleuthroside E1 was highest under fluorescent lamps. These results suggest that plant growth and eleuthroside accumulation can be controlled by wave length of light under LED illumination system.
