Abstract: Disclosed are a sensitizing composition for thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves and a method of treating cancer using the composition. The sensitizing composition includes a metal ion, a metal ion-bound material, metal ion-noncovalently bound apotransferrin (transferrin), or a metal ion-noncovalently bound apotransferrin derivative. The sensitizing composition enables selective delivery of the metal ion to tumorous tissue when administered in vivo, and thus the generation of heat in tumorous tissue in which the metal ion accumulates is increased upon thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves, thereby maximizing efficacy of thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves in treating cancer.

Abstract: Provided are gut microbes or cultures having anti-obesity efficacy and a pharmaceutical composition containing them. The gut microbes or cultures have anti-obesity efficacy by lowering fatty acid concentration of the gut fluid contents in a mammalian gastrointestinal tract for the prevention and treatment of obesity and obesity related diseases. This invention demonstrated that said gut microbes having anti-obesity efficacy by lowering fatty acid concentration of the gut fluid contents in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals have the anti-obesity efficacy as much as that of the representative anti-obesity drug, orlistat, without any side effects in animal experiments and clinical trials. Therefore, the gut microbes h can be used to develop universal anti-obesity drugs for obese patients, contributing greatly to the health of mankind.

Abstract: A sensitizing composition for thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves. The sensitizing composition increases sensitivity upon treatment of cancer using electromagnetic waves, and includes a metal ion, a metal ion-bound material, “metal ion-noncovalently bound apotransferrin” (transferrin), or a metal ion-noncovalently bound apotransferrin derivative. The sensitizing composition that targets cancer enables selective delivery of the metal ion to tumorous tissue when administered in vivo, and thus the generation of heat in tumorous tissue in which the metal ion accumulates is increased upon thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves, thereby maximizing the efficacy of the thermal cancer therapy using electromagnetic waves in treating cancer. A thermal therapy using the sensitizing composition is effective for treating cancer without pain or side effects and can also be used in combination with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, etc., ultimately increasing the potential to cure cancer.
