Abstract: A probiotic for inhibiting and preventing the progression of a renal disease and a composition containing the same are disclosed. The probiotic contains a novel Lactobacillus acidophilus BP105 strain, a novel Lactobacillus salivarius BP121 strain. The novel probiotics, the Lactobacillus acidophilus BP105 strain and the Lactobacillus salivarius BP121 strain exhibit excellent indoxyl sulfate removal ability, p-cresol removal ability, and phosphorus absorption ability.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a Lonicera Japonica flower water extract composition for preventing or treating Helicobacter pylori infection, the composition containing secoxyloganin as an active ingredient. The extract contains a specific amount of secoxyloganin, and thus exhibited excellent antibacterial effects when used on Helicobacter pylori bacteria, and exhibited excellent effects in terms of reducing Helicobacter pylori IgG antibody expression in the blood, alleviating histopathological lesions, and reducing cytokine expression when used on Helicobacter pylori-infected mice. Thus, the Lonicera Japonica flower water extract of the present invention can be usefully used as a composition for preventing or treating Helicobacter pylori infection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for promoting myogenesis, containing, as an active ingredient, a processed ginseng extract in which a trace amount of a ginsenoside ingredient is increased. It has been ascertained that the processed ginseng extract promotes the differentiation of myoblasts into muscle and inhibits muscle atrophy caused by myostatin, which is a myogenesis inhibitory factor, and thus it is expected that a composition for preventing or treating muscle disorder-related diseases, having excellent effects, can be developed.

Abstract: A probiotic for inhibiting and preventing the progression of a renal disease and a composition containing the same are disclosed. The probiotic contains a novel Lactobacillus acidophilus BP105 strain, a novel Lactobacillus salivarius BP121 strain. The novel probiotics, the Lactobacillus acidophilus BP105 strain and the Lactobacillus salivarius BP121 strain exhibit excellent indoxyl sulfate removal ability, p-cresol removal ability, and phosphorus absorption ability.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cosmetic composition and a pharmaceutical composition comprising secretions of natural killer cells, which are excellent in increasing various factors related to improvement of atopic dermatitis, hair loss, wounds or skin wrinkles, and in enhancing an expression level, and thereby having excellent alleviation effects on the symptoms.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing and treating cancer-related fatigue, characterized by containing a new processed ginseng powder or a new processed ginseng extract having an increased amount of a ginsenoside constituent, which was previously minute, by preparing a saponin-decomposing enzyme and subsequently using hydrolysis by the prepared saponin-decomposing enzyme and an organic acid. The composition according to the present invention can be very effectively used for preventing and treating cancer-related fatigue, the most destructive and universal side effect, which is caused by cancer itself or occurs in association with the treatment of cancer.
