Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating hypertrophic scars. The present inventors have found that the inhibition of expression of TXNDC5, PRRC1, S100A11, Galectin 1, Filamin A, eIF-5A, Annexin A2, and FABP5 can be a new target for improving and treating hypertrophic scars. In the present invention, TXNDC5-, PRRC1-, S100A11-, Galectin 1-, Filamin A-, eIF-5A-, Annexin A2-, and FABP5-specific siRNAs were constructed to determine the probability of treating the hypertrophic scars. As a result, the knockdown of the protein or a gene encoding the protein induces apoptosis in the hypertrophic scars and reduces collagen expression, which can be very useful in treating wounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for skin improvement containing at least one chemokine selected from the group consisting of B lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC), also known as C-X-C motif ligand 13 (CXCL13), and thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK), also known as C-C motif ligand 25 (CCL25), as an active ingredient. Since the BLC (CXCL13) and TECK (CCL25) of the present invention increase the expression of proliferation marker Ki-67 and collagen IV, which are proteins concerning skin regeneration and skin elasticity, and exhibit excellent melanin-reducing and wound-healing effects and the ability to induce chemotaxis of keratinocytes, they can be applied in a cosmetic composition for skin improvement.

Abstract: A present invention provides an internal circulating irradiation capsule available for the production of iodine-125 and a related production method. The irradiation capsule filled with xenon gas has a lower irradiation part, an upper irradiation part, and a neutron control member. The lower irradiation part is inserted into an irradiation hole of a reactor core and irradiated with a large quantity of neutron directly. When neutron is radiated to the xenon gas, iodine-125 is produced from xenon gas. The upper irradiation part protrudes from the irradiation hole, and iodine-125 is transferred to the upper irradiation part by convection and solidified in the upper part. The neutron control member reduces neutron in the upper part to produce iodine-125 of high purity and radioactivity in a large quantity.
