Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for promoting proliferation of bone marrow derived stem cells using an angelicae gigantis radix extract, and more particularly, to a composition which administers a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor into an object, and administers the angelicae gigantis radix extract to the object to promote the proliferation of the bone marrow derived stem cells. The composition of the present invention solves side effects such as splenomegaly which were caused by a method of administering only the G-CSF for proliferation and differentiation of the stem cells, thereby significantly mitigating the side effects through co-administration of the angelicae gigantis radix extract, and further promoting the proliferation and the differentiation of the stem cells.

Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell system has a carbon monoxide generator using ash-free coal or graphite, which includes a carbon supply unit, a carbon dioxide supply unit, a carbon monoxide generating unit, and a fuel cell unit. The carbon monoxide generating unit supplies CO to the anode of the fuel cell unit, and CO2 discharged from the fuel cell unit is recycled to the carbon dioxide supply unit. Because ash-free coal or graphite is used, a separate reformer does not need to be used, and thus energy can be produced with high efficiency even at low costs. Because CO2 discharged from the solid oxide fuel cell, which uses carbon monoxide as a fuel, after a fuel cell reaction, is reused as reactant gas, carbon dioxide is not emitted into the atmosphere. Gasification can be smoothly achieved by the carbon monoxide generating unit including heating powder or a heating reaction chamber.
