Abstract: The present invention relates to a Eupatorium spp. extract having anti-obesity effects as a result of decreasing adipocytes and increasing osteoblasts, as well as the effects of preventing bone disease or fractures by increasing osteoblasts and of preventing osteoporosis by decreasing adipocytes and increasing osteoblasts by the same proportion in mesenchymal stem cells. DCM fraction layers of a Eupatorium spp. stem extract collected on a monthly basis and Eupatorium spp. stem extract collected only in September may inhibit the activity of PPAR?, AP2, CD36, adiponectin C/EBP?, and LPL, which serve as significant factors for adipocyte differentiation in C3H10T1/2 cells and primary mesenchymal stem cells, which are pluripotent stem cell lines, and may increase the activity of ALP, osterix, CO1I and RUNX2, which serve as significant factors for osteoblast differentiation. The Eupatorium spp.

Abstract: A washing machine that performs refresh washing in which smell or mold that permeates laundry can be removed, and a method of controlling the washing machine. When clothes that are kept for a long time without being worn or laundries that are hardly contaminated due to a short wearing time are washed, a refresh washing course in which various smell or mold that permeates laundry can be removed using a very small amount of detergent, is performed. Thus, overuse of detergent caused by an excessive use of detergent can be prevented, and since the necessity for rinsing is low due to the use of the very small amount of detergent, an intermediate dehydration operation may be omitted, or an intermediate dehydration revolutions per minute (rpm) may be reduced so that washing and rinsing operations do not need to be excessively performed and thus damage of laundry is reduced.
