Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease affecting the central nervous system that either sporadic or familial origin and causing death of motor neurons. One genetic factors contributing to etiology ALS mutant SOD1 (mtSOD1), which induces vulnerability neurons through protein misfolding, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative damage, cytoskeletal abnormalities, defective axonal transport, glutamate excitotoxicity, inadequate growth factor signaling, neuroinflammation. Bee venom has...
Abstract Background Persistent non-specific low back pain (PNSLBP) is one of the most frequently experienced types around world. Wet-cupping a common intervention for various conditions, especially in Korea. In this context, we conducted pilot study to determine effectiveness and safety wet-cupping treatment PNSLBP. Methods We recruited 32 participants (21 group 11 waiting-list group) who had been having PNSLBP at least 3 months. The were clinical research centre Korea Institute Oriental...

Abstract Background Microglial activation plays an important role in neurodegenerative diseases by producing several pro-inflammatory enzymes and cytokines. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation leads to the of microglial cells central nervous system (CNS) is associated with pathological mechanisms diseases, including PD, AD, ALS. Ginseng a natural antioxidant used herbal medicine contains ginsenosides (Rb1, Rg1, Rg3, Re, Rd), which have anti-neoplastic anti-stress properties. This...

Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag (EAFOS) represents 80% of the electric generated. Recently, EAFOS has been utilized as high value-added functional aggregate in a growing number cases for construction air-cooling technology that turns into fine aggregate-sized particles by spraying it air using high-pressure compressed air. Ladle (LFS) is product reduction process, accounting approximately 20% steel enerated; however, LFS predominantly landfilled without being utilized. This mainly...
