Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the anti-proliferative effects of Ulmi Pumilae Cortex Extracts(UPCE) on MCF-7(human, breast, adenocaecinoma) and NIH3T3 (human, murine, fibroblast). Methods: MCF-7 cells and NIH3T3 cells were cultured and seeded in cell culture plates, respectively. UPC was extracted with hot water and then further fractionated it into five types: hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water soluable fractions. These five different fractions from UPCE were tested for their anti-proliferative effects on MCF-7 cells and NIH3T3 cells by MMT assay. Results: Among the five solvent-fractions of UPCE, n-hexane fraction and ethyl acetate fraction showed a strong anti-proliferative effects on MCF-7 cells but they displayed significant cytotoxicity on NIH3T3 cells, too. On the other hand, chloroform fraction showed a marked anti-proliferative effects on MCF-7 cells and low cytotoxicity on NIH3T3 cells. Conclusion: Chloloform fraction from UPCE showed selective anti-cancer activities on human breast cancer cell MCF-7 relatively to the other fractions.

Articles were grouped into journal of publication, subject, and publication year. Experimental study subjects and models were analysed.

Most of the studies used experimental models of MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease and MTT assay was used to analyse cell toxicity and cell viability. Pole test, rotarod test, Morris water maze test, and forced swimming test were commonly used to analyse MPTP-induced behavioral deficits in animals. Analysis on experimental studies of Parkinson's disease was categorized into the subjects of dopaminergic cell protective effect, cell-apoptosis protectiveness, anti-inflammatory effect, and anti-oxidative effect.

Objectives: This Study was designed to investigate the effect of Oxygen chamber to recover muscle fatigue. Methods: Twenty Subjects were divided into Oxygen Chamber Group (n=10) and Rest group (n=10). Subjects visited hospital two times, blood tests were performed 3 times for each visit. 1st blood test was performed in 4 hours hunger state. 2nd blood test was performed within 5 minutes after the 6 minutes bike exercise. 3rd blood test was performed after the 40 minutes Oxygen treatment or 40 minutes rest in bed. Blood test items were Lactate, Glucose, Lactate Dehydrogenase, Creatine Kinase, Free Fatty Acid. 2nd visit was applied 1st visit process, But Oxygen Chamber group was crossed over to Rest Group, Rest Group was crossed over to Oxygen Chamber group. The Blood test result was analyzed with paired T-test using SPSS for Windows version 21. Results: The reduction of Lactate in Oxygen Chamber Group (6.86±2.07 mmol/ℓ) was higher than Rest group (6.57±2.33 mmol/ℓ), but it was not statically significant (p=0.68). The reduction of Glucose in Oxygen Chamber Group (6.85±12.14 mg/dl) was lower than Rest group (7.60±9.83 mg/dl), but it was not statically significant (p=0.83). The reduction of Lactate Dehydrogenase in Oxygen Chamber Group (16.10±14.91 mmol/ℓ) was lower than Rest group (19.75±12.46 mg/dl), but it was not statically significant (p=0.41). The reduction of Creatine Kinase in Oxygen Chamber Group (13.40±5.69 U/ℓ) was lower than Rest group (15.25±8.01 U/ℓ), but it was not statically significant (p=0.41). The reduction of Free Fatty Acid in Oxygen Chamber Group (285.50±174.13 uEq/ℓ) was higher than Rest group (196.15±131.58 uEq/ℓ), but it was not statically significant (p=0.07). Conclusions: This study showed Oxygen chamber therapy could be effective to recover muscle fatigue.
