오동나무 열매를 채취하여 건조시킨 후 분말로 제조하여 5.0 kg을 아세톤-물 (7:3, v/v) 혼합용액으로 추출하고 유기용매를 제거한 후 헥산, 메틸렌클로라이드, 에틸아세테이트 및 물 등 네 개의 분획으로 분리하여 에틸아세테이트용성 분획물을 Sephadex LH- 20으로 칼럼 크로마토그래피를 수행하였으며 용리용매는 메탄올 수용액과 에탄올-헥산 혼합액을 사용하였다. 그 결과 phenolic acid 화합물인 caffeic acid와 flavonoid 화합물인 naringenin, kaempferol, apigenin, luteolin 및 quercetin이 단리 되었으며 NMR 및 MS 스펙트럼을 이용하여 구조를 결정하였다. 각 분획물과 단리 된 화합물들 그리고 조추출물은 DPPH radical 소거법을 이용하여 항산화 실험을 실시하였으며, 분획물중에는 에틸아세테이트용성이 그리고 화합물중에는 caffeic acid, kaempferol luteolin 및 quercetin이 우수한 항산화 효능을 나타내었다.

The fruits of Paulownia tomentosa (Thunb.) (PT) Steud. have been reported to exert a variety of biological activities. A previous study confirmed that compounds isolated from PT fruits (PTF) exerted anti-inflammatory effects on TNF-α-stimulated airway epithelial cells. However, there is no report on the protective effects of PTF on acute lung injury (ALI). Here, we examined the ameliorative effects of PTF in an experimental animal model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI. In ALI mice, increased levels of inflammatory cell influx were confirmed in the lungs of mice, and an increase of microphage numbers, TNF-α, IL-6 and MCP-1 production and protein content were detected in mouse bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. However, these increases were significantly reversed with PTF pretreatment. In addition, PTF inhibited the increased expression of iNOS and COX-2 in the lungs of ALI mice. Furthermore, the upregulation of MAPK and NF-κB activation was decreased in the lungs of ALI mice by PTF. In the in vitro experiment, PTF pretreatment exerted an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the secretion of nitric oxide, TNF-α and IL-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Collectively, these results indicated that PTF has ameliorative effects on airway inflammation in an experimental animal model of ALI.

고문서 보관을 위해 사용되고 있는 오동나무상자의 항균활성을 측정하기 위해 오동나무로부터 방출된 휘발성 물질에 대한 항균활성과 휘발성 유기물질의 주성분을 정성분석 하였다. 항균활성은 상자 내부에 TSA 배지를 장착한 미생물 포집기를 설치하고 포집 후 배지에 성장한 미생물의 집락수를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 실외에서 포집한 배지의 집락수 85개 대비 14.82%가 감소한 72개 집락수가 관찰되었다. 포집된 공기질을 열탈착시스템 및 가스크로마토그래피/질량분석법을 통해 분석한 결과, 오동나무 상자 내 VOCs에서 limonene이 특징적으로 검출되었다. Eugenol과 anethole을 주성분으로 하는 천연 살생물제 I과 II를 상자 내에 첨가하여 훈증에 의한 항균활성을 측정한 결과, 약제 모두 실외와 오동나무 상자 내부에서 포집된 미생물 개체수 대비 각각 92.6%, 99.9% 이상 감소율을 보였다. 위의 결과로부터 사용된 오동나무 상자로부터 방출된 휘발성 유기화합물에 의한 항균활성 및 그 유효성분은 분석되지 않았으며, 생물피해로부터 고서적을 장기보관하기 위한 유물 보관함의 효율을 증진시키기 위해 천연 살생물제의 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

We isolated and identified microorganisms from the aerial environment of domestic museums. The fungi, Penicillium spp., Alternaria spp., and Cladosporium spp. were isolated in many museums. It seems that these fungi are related to biological degradation of textile remains. A total of 14 kinds of bacterial strains were isolated: Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Neisseria spp., Alcaligenes spp., Shigella spp., Klebsiella spp., Corynebacterium spp., Aerococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Micrococcus spp., Citrobacter spp., Erwinia spp., Salmonella spp., and Providencia spp. Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Neisseria spp., and Alcaligenes spp. were the predominate bacteria found in samples with a variety of bacteria. This suggests that there is a relationship between bacteria and the damage of textile remains. In the museum, we isolated Alternaria spp, Geotrichum spp., Penicillium spp. Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Alcaligenes spp. from the entrance, exhibit hall and storage, but they were found in smaller number and species in the exhibit cases and paulownia cases. We concluded that paulownia cases were not influenced by the microorganisms because of quality of care provided by the museum staff. Corynebacterium spp., and Bacillus spp. were not detected at the entrance and exhibit hall but were detected in paulownia cases. It is presumed that those bacteria did not flow in from outside, but resulted from contaminants in paulownia cases. In the distribution of microorganisms associated with textile remains, more fungi were detected than bacteria. Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Neisseria spp., were isolated from silk items. Penicillium spp. and Cladosporium spp. were isolated in the silk and hump items. Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp. were isolated from the cotton items. On the other hands, there were no fungi strains in the wool items. Most of the isolated strains from textile remains were aerial microorganisms from the museum environment. These results suggest that textile remains were apt to contaminated by contact with the air.

Nine compounds, caffeic acid, naringenin, apigenin, luteolin, kaempferol, verbascoside, isoverbascoside, isocampneoside II, and cistanoside F, were isolated from the EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions of P. coreana bark. The structures of these compounds (1-9) were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and literature data. All the isolates were subjected to in vitro bioassay to evaluate their inhibitory activity against rat lens aldose reductase. Among these, compounds 6 and 8 indicated the significant inhibitory activity on rat lens aldose reductase with $IC_{50}$ values of 2.67 and 5.59 ${\mu}M$, respectively. Especially, The inhibition activity of acteoside was 3.9 times better than that of quercetin as a positive control (10.6 ${\mu}M$). These results suggested that phenylethanoid glycosides are likely to be the potential compounds for the prevention and/or treatment of diabetic complications.

Heat treatment was performed to improve sound absorption properties for four tree species; Tulip tree, Korean Paulownia, Red pine and Costata birch, at temperature of $175^{\circ}C$ and $200^{\circ}C$under vacuum condition. Sound absorption properties of two kinds of boards, which were in radial and tangential sections, were measured under a frequency range of 100 to 3200 Hz by the two microphone transfer function method. It was found that sound absorption properties were increased by heat treatment and the efficiency was higher at $200^{\circ}C$ than that at $175^{\circ}C$. Even Costata birch had a little effect on low temperature of $175^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$ heat treatment for sound absorption property, the efficiencies of sound absorption were 14, 19%, respectively. The efficiencies of sound absorption ranged 22 to 120% for heat-treated Tulip tree, Korean Paulownia.

Paulownia wood has been used as sound board for Korean traditional musical instruments such as Keomungo(Korean lute), Kayagum(twelve-stringed Korean harp) and Changgu(hour-glass shaped drum), etc. The acoustic properties of wood affected not only by dimensions but also by density and stiffness of wood. Due to inhomogeneity and hygroscopicity of wood. the acoustic properties of wood are inconsistent. To clarify the effect of moisture content and air dry density on acoustic properties, longitudinal vibration experiment was accomplished in 3 moisture content levels of 9.6, 11.1 and 12.5% and in 3 air dry density levels of 0.22, 0.25 and 0.28g/$cm^3$. The results were as follows: As the moisture content increased, the fundamental frequency. specific dynamic Young's modulus and sound velocity decreased, but the internal friction increased so that loss of energy increased. The values in damping of sound radiation were rapidly decreased at 12.5%. It meant that the damping of internal friction was larger than damping of sound radiation at high moisture content. As the air dry density increased, the fundamental frequency, specific dynamic Young's modulus and sound velocity increased, but the internal friction and damping of sound radiation decreased so that loss of energy decreased. And acoustic converting efficiency was hardly influenced by increasing air drying density.

도시화의 과정에서 고립도어 버린 쉬나무군락(Evodia daniellii community)의 현존 색생도, 군락의 구성과 식생구조를 조사하였다. 수도산 동사면의 벼랑에 서식하고 있는 쉬나무군락 지역에 100m$^{2}$의 측구를 30개 설치하였고, 계적넉인 변이를 보정하기 위하여 전 생육기간 동안 15회 현지조사를 수행하여 종조성표를 작성하였다. 이틀 자료에 의한 $x^2$ 계산값으로 constellation을 작성한 결과 Albizzia julbrissin 외 10종, Zanthoxylum shinifolium 외 12종 그리고 Ulmus parvifolia 외 6종의 명확한 3개 종군으로 구분되었다. 주요 목본식물 5종의 흉고직경을 조사한 결과 흉고직경의 크기가 상대적으로 큰 Ailathus altissima, Paulownia tomentosa, Zelkova serrata가 현재의 우점종으로 출현하나 후계림은 분폭역이 가장 넓ㅅ은 Evadia daniellii가 차지할 것으로 보인다.

Three triterpenoids, one sterol glycoside and a phenylpropanoid glycoside were isolated from the n-BuOH soulble fraction of Paulownia coreana twigs. On the basis of spectral data, the structure of isolated compounds were identified as pomolic acid (1), euscaphic acid (2), arjunic acid (3), daucosterol (4), and syringin (5), respectively. All compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time.
