More specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition and a health functional food composition for prevention, treatment or amelioration of diabetic complications or angioedema further containing an extract of Rheum palmatum, Puerariae radix, Ginkgo leaves, Cassiae semen, blueberry, bilberry, raspberry, or grape seeds as an active ingredient, in addition to the mixed extract of Hedera helix leaves and Coptis chinensis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition including an Amomi Rotundus Fructus extract or a fraction thereof as an active ingredient, which can be used for the prevention, amelioration, or treatment of acute renal failure.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a composition including an Elsholtziae Herba extract as an active ingredient, which can be used for the prevention, improvement, or treatment of acute renal failure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for treating, improving, or preventing Alzheimer's disease caused by ApoE4 gene mutation, the composition including Banha-Sasim-Tang as an active ingredient. The composition including Banha-Sasim-Tang as an active ingredient of the present invention and a treatment method exhibit excellent effects of reducing amyloid beta proteins and inhibiting deposition thereof, which are specific to Alzheimer's disease caused by ApoE4 gene mutation, thereby having high applicability as a specific composition for preventing, improving, or treating Alzheimer's disease caused by ApoE4 gene mutation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for preventing, alleviating, or treating allergic skin diseases comprising, as an active ingredient, an extract of gardenia fruit from which pigment is removed, and since the extract of gardenia fruit from which pigment is removed is more effective for allergic skin diseases compared to an extract of gardenia fruit from which pigment is not removed, the composition can be very advantageously used for allergic skin diseases, in particular, atopic dermatitis.
Abstract:
A composition for inhibiting proliferation of tumor comprising Rubus coreanus extract as effective component. It was found that the Rubus coreanus extract binds to PD-L1 present on the surface of cancer cells, thus blocking the interaction between cancer cells and PD-1 on the surface of T cells to activate T cells and exhibit an inhibitory effect on tumor proliferation, and it was also found that the Rubus coreanus extract shows an excellent anti-tumor immune activity in humanized PD-1 animal model induced with MC38 colorectal cancer expressing human PD-L1 and also a synergistic effect when co-administered with anti-cancer agents.
Abstract:
A composition for strengthening, developing, differentiating, or regenerating muscle, or preventing, ameliorating, or treating muscle loss or muscle fatigue includes a Schizonepeta tenuifolia extract as an effective component. The Schizonepeta tenuifolia extract as an effective component has the effects of restoring the viability of muscle cells, increasing the endurance time on the rotarod performance test, i.e., the holding time without falling off from the rod, compared to the control group, reducing the content of LDH, AST, and ALT in blood, increasing the grip strength, enhancing the expression amount of energy metabolism-related genes in muscle tissues, increasing the density of muscle fibers in muscle tissues, inducing a change in the fibroblast arrangement to have a well-organized structure, and reducing the expression of MuRF1 in muscle tissues, as compared to the control group.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for measuring a mutation rate, comprising preparing a library for next generation sequencing (NGS). Accordingly, the present invention can measure the effect of drugs, radiation, gene composition, aging, and various stresses experienced by an individual, etc. on the occurrence of mutations in a subject sample, and thus can be used for testing, diagnosis, management and evaluation related to toxicity tests, medical tests, maintenance and management of health, etc.
Abstract:
A method for treating sleep disturbance according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes administering to a subject in need thereof a composition including saponarin of Chemical Formula 1, a salt thereof acceptable for use in food, or a hydrate thereof as an effective component: In an animal model with lack of sleep caused by caffeine, saponarin of the present invention restores the travel distance, mobility time, mobility frequency, and immobility time to normal as well as increases the mRNA expression of neuropeptide Y, cholecystokinin, and GABA A α1 receptor, thereby alleviating sleep disturbance. Therefore, the saponarin of the present invention can be advantageously used as a raw material for a functional health food or a pharmaceutical product for preventing, alleviating, or treating sleep disturbance.
Abstract:
The extract of a mixture of cinnamon twig and moutan root bark, cinnamon twig and peony root, or cinnamon twig and poria according to the present invention has been confirmed to inhibit the excessive generation of advanced glycation end-products, which occurs under chronic diabetic conditions, exhibit the effect of fragmentizing a cross-link between the advanced glycation end-products and matrix proteins, have an excellent effect in inhibiting the generation of the advanced glycation end-products in a human retinal pigment epithelial cell line subjected to a hyperglycemic or aging environment, and have excellent effects in delaying, preventing, and treating diabetic complications, muscular degeneration, commotio retinae, and lower extremity edema in various animal models of diabetic complications, macular degeneration, and lower extremity edema, and thus the mixture extract can effectively be used as an active ingredient for a composition for preventing and treating diabetic complications, including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, and diabetic neuropathy, and angioedema, including macular (retinal) edema, macular degeneration, and varicose veins.
