Abstract: A tread pattern of a tire is disclosed which has wave-shaped and straight grooves capable of maintaining desired block rigidity and hydroplaning performance of the tire. In the tread pattern, which includes circumferential main grooves, transversal grooves formed between adjacent ones of the circumferential main grooves, and blocks formed between adjacent ones of the transversal grooves, at least one of the circumferential main grooves has a wave-shaped structure having opposite inclined side surfaces each comprising an upper surface portion having first and second curved surfaces alternately arranged along a circumferential direction of the tire while having substantially opposite curvatures, respectively, to form a continuous wave-shaped surface, and a lower surface portion having a straight side surface connected to the alternate first and second curved surfaces while extending along the circumferential direction to form a circumferential straight groove.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition for use in liver function improvement, blood alcohol level reduction and in-vivo antioxidant activity enhancement, comprising Lactobacillus brevis HY7401, Lactobacillus fermentum CS332, Lactobacillus acidophilus CSG, Bifidobacterium longum HY8001, an Alder tree extract, a Selfheal extract, a milk thistle extract, a green bean-rice bran fermentation extract, a turnip extract, a tomato extract, a broccoli extract, a pineapple extract, a colostrum powder, betaine, vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C, and E. The composition can improve declined liver functions and shows excellent hepatoprotective and hepatocurative activity against alcohol on excessive or habitual drinking with the ability to reduce blood alcohol levels. Its superior enhancement of in-vivo antioxidant activity also contributes to the use of the composition in the prevention of liver diseases and the improvement of liver functions.
