Korean medicinal herb extracts(KMHE) were applied to the preservation of greenhouse produce in order to prove their effectiveness. KMHE showed remarkable antimicrobial effects against Bacillus cereus, Peudomonas syringae, and Corynebacterium xerosis causing the postharvest decay of greenhouse produce. Among KMHE the extracts of Rheum palmatum L. and Coptis chinensis Franch most obviously inhibited the growth of microorganims causing the Postharvest decay of greenhouse produce, which destroyed to undetectable levels when treated with more than 500ppm of KMHE. The activities of KMHE were stable in the wide spectrum of pH and temperature. Direct visualization of microbial cells by using both transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope showed microbial cell membrane the function of which was destroyed by treating with the dilute solutions of KMHE. This change of cellular membrane permeability could be identified in the experiment that O-nitrophenyl-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside(ONPG), the artificial substrate of $\beta$-galactosidase, was hydrolyzed in the presence of KMHE, indicating that the membrane was perturbed by KMHE.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition including severe pruritus, xerosis, visible eczematous skin lesions that mainly begin early in life. Atopic dermatitis exerts a profound impact on the quality of life of patients and their families. The estimated lifetime prevalence of atopic dermatitis has increased 2~3 fold during over the past 30 years, especially in urban areas in industrialized countries, emphasizing the importance of life-style and environment in the pathogenesis of atopic diseases. While the interplay of individual genetic predisposition and environmental factors contribute to the development of atopic dermatitis, the recent increase in the prevalence of atopic dermatitis might be attributed to increased exposure to various environmental factors rather than alterations in human genome. In recent decades, there has been an increasing exposure to chemicals from a variety of sources. In this study, the effects of various environmental chemicals we face in everyday life - air pollutants, contact allergens and skin irritants, ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products, and food additives - on the prevalence and severity of atopic dermatitis are reviewed.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects herbal extracts on the skin inflammatory reactions. Among the herbal ingredients of herbal extracts, ethanol extract of Glycyrrhizae Radix showed potent radical scavenging activity, more than 86$\%$ at a concentration of 0.01$\%$, tested by DPPH(I,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hyrazyl) method. And ethanol extract of Aurantii Immaturus Fructus inhibited the lipopolysaccharide-induced release of nitric oxide(NO), 99$\%$ at 50㎍／㎖, by the macrophage RAW 246.7 cells. In addition, the ethanol extracts of Sophorae Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix showed antibacterial activities on Propionibacterium acnes that causes acne, Sophorae Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix and Aurantii Immaturus Fructus on Corynebacterium xerosis that cause osmidrosis axillae, Glycyrrhizae Radix and Aurantii Immaturus Fructus on Staphylococcus aureus that was reported to cause impetigo and atopic disease. Taken together, I expect that herbal extracts may be used as a drug for treatment on skin inflammation.

소포로리피드(sophorolipid)는 Candida bombicola에 의해 생산되는 당지질 구조의 생물 계면활성제로, 일반적으로 산성형과 락톤형의 혼합으로 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 소포로리피드 생산균주의 유전자조절과 대사공학적 방법을 통해 락톤형이 96% 이상으로 존재하는 소포로리피드의 물리화학적 특성, 항균 특성, 세포독성 등을 살펴보았다. 락톤형 소포로리피드를 물에 1 wt%에서 0.001 wt% 농도로 희석시키면 pH가 3.2~4.6 범위의 약산성을 나타내었다. 산-염기 적정곡선으로부터 락톤형 소포로리피드의 $pK_a$ 값은 대략 4.3으로 측정되었다. 임계 마이셀 농도(CMC)는 $10^{-2}wt%$로, 이때 수용액의 표면장력은 36 mN/m까지 감소하였다. 락톤형 소포로리피드의 항균 활성을 살펴본 결과, Propionibacterium acnes에 대하여 $1{\times}10^{-3}g/mL$, Corynebacterium xerosis에 대하여 $5{\times}10^{-3}g/mL$의 최소저지농도(MIC) 값을 보였다. MTT assay 실험 결과로부터 락톤형 소포로리피드의 세포독성이 트리클로산보다 10배 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

Objective : There is no case report on the Idiopathic Conjunctive treated by CHUNA manual therapy in oriental medicine. We experienced a patient with the Idiopathic Conhunctivitis improved by CHUNA manual therapy in X-ray imagine and visual analogue scale(VAS), and we report It. Methods : During the patient with the Idiopathic Conjunctivitis was treated CHUNA manual therapy, we examined cervial X-ray and evaluated the patient's symptoms by VAS and counting eye drop. And we observed whether the change exist or not in X-ray. Result : Symptoms(Red eye, eye xerosis) was improved significally, and the X -ray image was improved. Conclusion : Conjunctivitis was generally treated steroid eye drop and conservative treatment. But CHUNA manual therapy may be more effective in the Idiopathic Conjunctivitis, if more clinical studies and researchs are accomplished.

We referred to twenty-two Korean medicinal literatures for application of a single-medicine prescription using Asparagi Tuber(Asparagus cochinchinensis) to form the groundwork for scientific modernization of Korean medicine. Our study revealed the following. 1. Principle expectant effects of Asparagi Tuber were prolong life; elevation of stamina or activity; improvement of asthenia; remedy of epilepsy, mental disease or convulsions; relief of xerosis; treatment of tumor, abscess or intumescence; extermination of endoparasite; solution of numbness, etc. 2. The records show that 95% of directions are per oral. 3. 38% of the cases, Asparagi Tuber was used without its jacket or core. 4. Alcohol and honey were generally used as solvent and additive. We suggest to perform the further studies for the scientific verification of the expectant effects of Asparagi Tuber and its different efficacy by processing, solvent and additives.

Flavor characteristics of raw Cordyceps militaris significatntly different from those of dried one. In the case of raw Cordyceps militaris , major flavor components were composed of 5 alcohols, 3 ketones, 4 phenols, 9 alkanes , and 3 alkenes. The major alcohol was 1-octen-3-ol(22.56%, 1147.3% ng/ml), which contributed to the characteristic green flavor. Ketones (3-ocatone, inparticular )were present in the highest concentration in raw Cordyceps militaris . In contrast, major flavor components of dried Cordyceps militaris were composed of 4 alcohols, 4 ketones, 3 furans, 4 pyrizines, 2 dithiazines, 5 phenols , 8alkenes , 17 alkanes, and 8 fatty acids. Dried Cordyceps militaris had unique sweet aroma of sesame as wella s a milky flavor. Green or fruit flavor were rarely detected . In alkanes , 10 cosanes, component fo wax were present. Typical flavor components of alkanes such as $\beta$-caryophyllen and Δ-cadinene were also detected. Fatty acids of dried Cordyceps militaris ranged from myristic acid (14 :0) to linoleic acid (18 ; 2). The sweet aroma of dried Cordyceps militaris was mostly due to pryazines, dithaiazines, and furans. Two dithaizines were identified and characteristics of these flavor components was a roasted bacon flavor. Strong antibacterial acitivity was observed toward Vibrio spp. such as V. vulnificus, V.cholerae, V. parahaemlyticus. Relatively high antibacterial acitivity was shown toward Bacillus subtilis , B,cereus, Staphyllococcus aureus, and Corynebacterium xerosis.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of Cosmetic Acupuncture through reinterpretation of anatomy and physiology. Methods : The causes of wrinkle increases and rapid aging of facial skin were studied and the theoretical system of Cosmetic Acupuncture treatment was analyzed through anatomy and physiology reinterpretation. Results and Conclusions : An increase in wrinkles and rapid aging of facial skin is caused by xerosis. Skin condition represents the condition of subcutaneous muscle. The reason why skin becomes easily dry is the heat produced by craniofacial part. Craniofacial part always generates lot of physiological fever because of the muscles. This physiological fever is produced from the muscles that are responsible for maintaining skull suture, controlling the movement of temporomandibular joint, maintaining head and neck posture. Controlling this fever is the crux of Cosmetic Acupuncture mechanism. These muscles correspond to Foot Taeyang meridian-muscle, Foot Soyang meridian-muscle and Foot Yangmyung meridian-muscle. Cosmetic Acupuncture is effective for preventing facial skin from aging and wrinkle increase by mechanical stimulus on facial muscles, and for controlling craniofacial part meridian-muscle system producing the heat.
