Introduction HX110B is an herbal formulation that contains Taraxacum officinale , Dioscorea batatas and Schizonepeta tenuifolia . Each plant known to relieve respiratory symptoms. In our previous study, administering ameliorated acute lung injury (ALI) caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice. Herein, we investigated the antitussive expectorant activities of vitro vivo Methods The effects were tested citric acid-induced guinea pig model. examined phenol red secretion assay. Additionally,...
TADIOS is an herbal formulation prepared from a mixture of Taraxacum officinale (L.) Weber ex F.H.Wigg, Dioscorea batatas Decaisne and Schizonepeta tenuifolia (Benth.) Briquet. These plants have traditionally been used in Asia to treat variety respiratory diseases. A bulk literature on traditional Korean medicine describe their activities functions for problems. Therefore, we hypothesized that the combination these might be effective alleviating symptoms.In this study, investigated whether...
Visfatin, a member of the adipokine family, plays an important role in many metabolic and stress responses. The mechanisms underlying direct therapeutic effects visfatin on wound healing have not been reported yet. In this study, we examined vitro vivo. Visfatin enhanced proliferation migration human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) keratinocytes expression healing-related vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) Treatment HDFs with induced activation both extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1...
Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disease, which characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), high serum levels of immunoglobulin (Ig)E, and recruitment various cells such as eosinophils lymphocytes. Korean traditional fermented foods have been reported to exert beneficial effects against allergic diseases asthma atopic dermatitis. In this study, we investigated whether Staphylococcus succinus strain 14BME20 (14BME20) isolated from doenjang, high-salt-fermented soybean food...

The mechanisms underlying direct therapeutic effects visfatin on wound healing have not been reported yet. In this study, we examined vitro vivo. Visfatin enhanced proliferation migration human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) keratinocytes, significantly increased expression healing-related vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) Treatment HDFs with induced activation both extracellular...
Peptide materials have recently been considered for use in various industrial fields. Because of their efficacy, safety, and low cost, therapeutic peptides are studied diseases, including atopic dermatitis (AD). AD is a common inflammatory skin disease impairing the patient’s quality life. Various therapies, such as treatments with corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, antibody drugs, applied, but numerous side effects reported, atrophy, burning, infection. In case immunogenicity against...
The erythroid differentiation regulator 1 (Erdr1) protein has been studied for its role in various inflammatory skin diseases, including cancer, actinic keratosis and psoriasis. However, the therapeutic effects of Erdr1 on wound repair underlying mechanisms remain unknown. present study aimed to investigate healing vitro vivo. results demonstrated that treatment with recombinant enhanced vivo vitro. In addition, increased proliferation migration human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). Notably,...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that associated with systemic inflammation and results in the destruction of joints cartilage. The pathogenesis RA involves complex inflammatory process resulting from action various proinflammatory cytokines and, therefore, many novel therapeutic agents to block or cytokine-mediated signaling have been developed. Here, we tested preventive effects small peptide, AESIS-1, mouse model collagen-induced (CIA) aim identifying safe...
This study analyzes how the aid allocation pattern of OECD DAC’s emerging donor Korea is different from that Greece. By using dataset 153 recipient countries 1996 to 2008 and 1987 2011 respectively, this reveals Greece display similar patterns disbursement. They favor recipients with higher income level, larger population, closer trade ties, better social development, protection freedom human rights, nearby located neighbors. However, in case Korea, conjectures fragmentation obscure...
While variables for recipient countries are taken into considerations when aid is disbursed, how the amount of volume shaped before it disbursed determined by factors within donors. In this regard, study examines dual determinants Japanese aid. It in sense that both disbursement and examined – former based on recipient-side latter, donor-side ones. first part where considered, with an emphasis 1960s 1970s, finds Japan's pattern earlier period different from rest. War reparations lacking...
Purpose: This study examines Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) trade and tourism as the country's key business for sustainable financing growth. Design/methodology/approach: uses a panel dataset DRC's flows from 165 countries over two years (2014-2015). An empirical analysis based on gravity model is conducted. Findings: The results are basically consistent with general prediction that both size distance matter, but, this stereotype result seems to fade away when consumer price index...
Purpose: This paper analyzes the ODA management system, including internal communication partnership structure, and policy decision-making implementation process, of Lao PDR, Indonesia Vietnam, which are Korea’s key partner countries in Asia. Based on analysis, aims to draw recommendations for donors enhance aid effectiveness. Originality: study recipient countries’ system from effectiveness perspective, is relatively understudied compared donors’ system. It specifies scope by developing a...
Financial sustainability has been a perennial problem in international development. Furthermore, among different areas of developmental support, securing sufficient financial resources is particularly significant the health sector where people’s very lives are at stake. Given above, we examine innovative development finance (IDF) for with particular focus on air ticket solidarity levy system Republic Korea. After an overview origins and present state tax system, explain how it was...
Abstract With the disproportionate impact of global pandemic on developing countries, health aid has become crucial in improving people’s and well-being more than ever. Reflecting countries’ needs, Korea, like other donors, made significant contributions to support COVID -19 response. Considering increased amount importance sector Korea’s foreign aid, this article aims investigate motivations total bilateral using panel data 128 countries from 2006 2021 with random-effects Tobit model. The...
