Because activated human macrophages can be potent sources of IL-10, and because immunosuppressive tolerance-inducing populate the skin after UV exposure, we determined whether IL-10 is induced exposure it related to immigrating macrophages. Keratomes were obtained from control or 72 h a single four minimal erythemal doses UVB. Quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR on total RNA extracted immediately keratomes showed that mRNA was elevated in UV-exposed skin. Epidermal cell suspensions...
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...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is an infectious with multiple symptoms, such as fever over 37.5°C, cough, dyspnea, and pneumonia.In our research, microRNAs (miRNAs) binding to the genome sequences of (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory-related (MERS-CoV), SARS-CoV-2 were identified bioinformatic tools.Five miRNAs (hsa-miR-15a-5p, hsa-miR-15b-5p, hsa-miR-195-5p, hsa-miR-16-5p, hsa-miR-196a-1-3p) found commonly bind...
Purpose To evaluate the effects of acupuncture compared to a control group using artificial tears. Methods Setting & design: multicenter randomised controlled trial (three local research hospitals South Korea). Study Population: 150 patients with moderate severe dry eye. Intervention: Participants were randomly allocated into four weeks treatment (bilateral BL2, GB14, TE 23, Ex1, ST1, GB20, LI4, LI11 and single GV23) or tears (sodium carboxymethylcellulose). Main Outcome Measure(s): The...
Introduction This study tested the effectiveness of moxibustion on pain and function in chronic knee osteoarthritis (KOA) evaluated safety. Methods A multi-centre, non-blinded, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial compared with usual care (UC) KOA. 212 South Korean patients aged 40–70 were recruited from 2011–12, stratified by mild (Kellgren/Lawrence scale grades 0/1) moderate-severe KOA (grades 2/3/4), randomly allocated to or UC for four weeks. Moxibustion involved burning mugwort...
A previously unknown SARS-CoV-2 vaccine protecting nonhuman primates from challenge was developed using RBD-P2 and N.
Acta Ophthalmol. 2010: 88: e328–e333 Abstract. Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for ocular symptoms, tear film stability secretion in dry eye patients. Methods: This is a randomized, patient‐assessor blinded, sham controlled trial. Forty‐two participants with defined moderate to severe underwent treatment three times week 3 weeks. Seventeen standard points (GV23; bilateral BL2, GB14, TE23, Ex1, ST1 GB20; unilateral SP3, LU9, LU10 HT8 on left men right women) ‘ de...
Objectives To determine the effect of acupuncture in treating hot flushes perimenopausal or postmenopausal women. Methods The study was a randomised single-blind sham-controlled clinical trial. Perimenopausal women with moderate severe were to receive real sham acupuncture. Both groups underwent 4-week run-in period before treatment. group received 11 treatments for 7 weeks, and control on non-acupuncture points during same period. followed 8 weeks after end treatment Changes from baseline...
We investigated the effects of activated charcoal (AC), culture medium strength and various levels thidiazuron (TDZ) on asymbiotic in vitro seed germination seedlings development Pecteilis radiata, an endangered terrestrial orchid. Seeds were inoculated bottle containing quarter-, half- full-strength Murashige Skoog (1962) (MS) with 0, 1, 2, 4 or 8 μM (TDZ), 3% (w/v) sucrose, 0.8% plant agar. The strength, TDZ levels, their interactions had a significant (P < .0001) effect germination....
Gastrochilus matsuran (Makino) Schltr. (Orchidaceae) populations are declining quickly because of overexploitation, climatic changes, and deforestation; therefore, mass-production protocols required for this orchid. Natural propagation species is often hampered by meager seed germination slow growth. Thus, our aim was to establish an effective protocol the in vitro G. reduce risk its extinction. We investigated impacts culture media, coconut water (CW), plant hormones (gibberellic acid...
Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene delivery holds great promise for therapy. However, the non-invasive of AAV lung tissues has not been adequately established. Here, we revealed that intratracheal administration an appropriate amount AAV2/8 predominantly targets tissue. AAV-mediated used in this study induced expression desired protein parenchymal cells, including alveolar type II cells. We harnessed technique to develop severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2...
Abstract Background Moxibustion is an ancient traditional medicine using burning mugworts to stimulate acupuncture points. The aim of this study was investigate the safety and efficacy moxibustion for treatment constipation a randomized, sham-controlled, participant-blinded, pilot trial. Methods Twenty-six participants (identified with either qi (vital energy) deficiency or excess syndrome) were randomly divided into sham group. Participants treated real at 4 points, ST23 ST27, bilaterally,...
Patients undergoing hemodialysis suffer from a variety of complications related to end-stage renal disease. This prospective, observational pilot study aims determine the feasibility, safety, and possible benefits acupuncture for symptom management in patients hemodialysis.Twenty-four (24) received treatment their symptoms. Manually stimulated, individualized treatments were provided twice week 6 consecutive weeks on nondialysis day or prior initiating treatment. Symptoms evaluated using...
The causes of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and idiopathic (ICF) are not clearly known, there no definitive treatments for them. Therefore, patients with CFS ICF interested in Oriental medicine or complementary alternative medicine. For this reason, the effectiveness should be verified. We investigated two forms acupuncture added to usual care compared alone.A three-arm parallel, non-blinded, randomized controlled trial was performed four hospitals. divided 150 participants into treatment...
Chronic viral infections are often established by the exploitation of immune-regulatory mechanisms that result in nonfunctional T cell responses. Viruses establish persistent remain a serious threat to human health. Sphingosine kinase 2 (SphK2) generates sphingosine 1-phosphate, which is molecule known regulate multiple cellular processes. However, little about SphK2's role during host immune responses infection. Here, we demonstrate SphK2 functions lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus Cl 13...
Purpose: In this study, a microneedle patch (MNP) containing cannabidiol (CBD, YC-2106) was produced, and its efficacy evaluated for human safety the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Methods: First, MNPs 0%, 1%, 3% were prepared. To evaluate anti-inflammatory efficacy, skin tissue model (KeraSkin™) purchased, culture medium collected 24 h 48 after MNP attachment, expression interleukin-8 (IL-8) compared analyzed. A primary dermal irritation test performed by requesting SGS certification...
