Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting food poisoning bacteria, and more particularly, to a method for rapidly and quantitatively isolating food poisoning bacteria contents which contaminate food and the like. The method according to the present invention is characterized by including the steps of: introducing magnetic nanoparticles which can bind to bacteria into a sample for measuring the bacteria so as to bind the magnetic nanoparticles to the bacteria; isolating the magnetic nanoparticles; passing the nanoparticles which are isolated by using magnetism through a solution having high viscosity so as to separate the magnetic nanoparticles to which bacteria are bound from magnetic nanoparticles to which no bacteria are bound; and quantifying the magnetic nanoparticles to which bacteria are bound.

Abstract: There is provided a composition for preventing and treating obesity including high water-soluble ?-cyclodextrin derivatives as an effective component. Specifically, the composition including the high water-soluble ?-cyclodextrin derivatives, especially, 2-hydroxypropyl-?-cyclodextrin (HP-?-CD, HPBCD) has effects on suppressing an increase in body weight induced by a high fat diet, suppressing appetite through decreasing an amount of dietary intake, decreasing body fat, decreasing liver weight, and significantly decreasing a sharp increase of blood sugar induced by intaking glucose and maltose on an empty stomach so that it can be useful for preventing and treating obesity, preventing and treating various diseases induced by obesity, and suppressing a sharp increase of blood sugar after dinner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for activating dendritic cells having polysaccharides from Angelica gigas Nakai as valid component. The angelan, polysaccharides separated from Angelica gigas Nakai, can improve the revelation of surface molecule of dendritic cells, the secret of cytokine of dendritic cells, the proliferation capability of T cells of dendritic cells, and the generation of cytokine such as IL-2.

Abstract: This invention relates to a composition for the prevention and treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease comprising prodigiosin isolated from Serratia marcescence B-1231 KCTC 0386BP, as an effective ingredient. The prodigiosin is immunosup-pressive by selectively suppressing the proliferation of T-cells through the suppression of the expression of IL-2 receptors, which is needed for the activation of T-cells. Prodigiosin can be used either alone or in conjunction with cyclosporin A for greater effect, since the two substances have different mode of actions. These make prodigiosin effective for the prevention and treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease.

Abstract: Disclosed are ceramide derivatives represented by the following formula 1 or 2, a method for preparing the same, and a therapeutic agent for treating atopic dermatitis including the ceramide derivatives as active ingredients: wherein, R1 and R2 are each independently straight or branched alkyl groups having 4 to 22 carbon atoms. The therapeutic agent for treating atopic dermatitis including the ceramide derivatives as active ingredients according to the present invention may be useful to treat atopic dermatitis, or treat other skin diseases that are required for improving skin inflammations or suppressing epidermal proliferation, by suppressing or improving inflammatory conditions in the atopic dermatitis in addition to giving immunoregulatory functions, and suppressing or improving skin disorders, for example epidermal proliferation that is generally observed in the atopic dermatitis.

Abstract: There is disclosed novel Phellinus linteus Yoo. This mushroom is identified as novel as analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism and by microbiological features. A polysaccharide substance isolated from the fruiting bodies or mycelia the strain and other Phellinus spp. has an anticancer activity by inciting the cytotoxicity of T-cells and the antibody forming potency of B-cells. Also, the polysaccharide substance shows a potent activity against cancer metastasis. The polysaccharide substance, which can stimulate the immunity of the body, may be effective in the prophylaxis and treatment of immune-related diseases, such as cancers and AIDS, and in the study on the basic mechanism of the diseases.
