Since atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease, natural remedies, such as Filipendula glaberrima Nakai (FG), with anti-inflammatory properties are possible promising therapeutic options. This study aimed to investigate the potential of FG extracts at different growth stages. Seven compounds were isolated from leaf using open-column chromatography, and they analyzed HPLC. The further evaluated for their total polyphenol flavonoid content (TPC TFC). in vitro antioxidant radical...

Potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 17 (KCTD17) protein, an adaptor for the cullin3 (Cul3) ubiquitin ligase complex, has been implicated in various human diseases; however, its role hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. Here, we aimed to elucidate clinical features of KCTD17, and investigate mechanisms by which KCTD17 affects HCC progression.

To introduce a case of corneal endothelial toxicity caused by Asclepias curassavica (Milkweed) in Korea.A 37-year-old Asian man presented with decreased vision and redness the right eye, which developed after contact curassavica. At presentation, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/60 eye. Slit lamp examination demonstrated severe stromal edema Descemet's folds conjunctival hyperemia. We prescribed topical prednisolone acetate 1% eye drops (8 times day), cyclosporine 0.1% (once day)...

Background : This study examined the effect of harvesting time on growth, yield characteristics, and major beneficial components in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Methods Results Although plant height, stem diameter branch length were not affected by time, number stems was highest when harvested mid October. There no differences root thickness, however, rhizome thicker it at end October or early November than The dried weight also showed a similar pattern. However, there statistically significant...

Background: Glycyrrhiza radix (licorice root) have been used as an oriental medicine material for long time, and its protective effects on oxidative stress, inflammation cognition deficit recently reported.

Oligonucleotides that carry a detectable label can be used to probe for mRNA targets in situ hybridization experiments. Oligonucleotide probes (OPs) have several advantages over cDNA and riboprobes. These include the easy synthesis of large quantities probe, superior penetration into cells tissues, ability design gene- or allele-specific probes. One significant disadvantage OPs is poor sensitivity, part due constraints adding subsequently detecting multiple labels per oligonucleotide. In...
