Main reasons for non-participation included lack of request from assigned schools or scheduling conflicts between the desired program time and the conditions of Korean medicine doctors. Participants who conducted the program reported its effectiveness in fostering positive perceptions of Korean medicine. Despite obstacles, the majority expressed willingness to participate in the 2024 program. To promote the program, there is a need for a structured system to facilitate school cooperation and promote the School Doctor Program of Korean Medicine.Conclusions: Promoting the School Doctor Program of Korean Medicine requires collaboration from schools, provision of standardized manuals and programs, and support from the Korean Medicine Association.

The survey data were subjected to basic statistical analysis and logistic regression.Results: A total of 773 respondents participated in the survey, yielding a response rate of approximately 3%. Most respondents recognized the necessity of BT in Korean medicine, with 74.77% reporting prior utilization. However, only 43.73% currently utilize BTs. Key barriers to BT utilization included insufficient legal and institutional safeguards and cost burdens. Although 77.62% reported receiving BT education, only 54.85% deemed it useful, yet 95.21% expressed intent for future education. Younger KMDs exhibited lower BT utilization and lower agreement rates on the usefulness of education but higher demand for education. The longer the training period in Korean medicine hospitals, the higher the rate of experience with BTs, related education and the agreement on the usefulness of the education. And they had relatively less need for further education.Conclusions: Efforts are needed to meet the demand for BT education among KMDs. In particular, it seems necessary to identify the higher demand among young KMDs and prepare for education at a level equivalent to a training course in Korean medicine hospitals rather than in a form that just follows past education practices.","PeriodicalId":509794,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141278971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in previous studies using simple extracts, the biological activity was not relatively prominent compared to other herbal medicines. The aim of the present study is to confirm the enhancement of anti-inflammatory activity and bioactive compound of Cannabis root extract prepared by combined processing process.Methods: A series of processes including repeated steam and dry, fermentation, hydrothermal extraction and ethanol extraction was applied to Cannabis root. The antioxidant content of cannabis root extracts obtained through a combined processing process was investigated by analyzing the total phenolic, tannin, and flavonoid contents. Anti-inflammatory effects were tested in LPS-treated RAW264.7 cells. The anti-inflammatory mechanism was examined by western blot. Finally, the component profile of Cannabis root extract was analyzed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Thin layer chromatography (TLC).Results: The cannabis root extract prepared by complex processing process had higher antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects than simple extract. Total phenolic and tannin contents were significantly increased, and DPPH free radical inhibition activity was strengthened by combined processing process. Increased NO production and iNOS expression in LPS-treated RAW264.7 cells were decreased in a concentration-dependent manner upon extract treatment by complex processing process. Additionally, the Stigmasterol content of Cannabis root extract was increased through a complex processing process.Conclusions: Further research is needed on the mechanisms and substances that exhibit the anti-inflammatory effects of Cannabis roots extract prepared by complex processing process.","PeriodicalId":509794,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141279294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, we extracted viral pneumonia related target genes through Gene Cards, CTD and DisGeNet. To construct Protein-protein Interaction, STRING database was used. For functional enrichment, using SRplot platform, genes were classified by 3 categories: cellular component (CC), molecular function (MF) and biological process (BP). Molecular docking was conducted by AutoDockTools (version 4.2.6).Results: 32 Network-based systematic pharmacology analysis identified 37 target genes associated with baicalein. Based on the network and gene ontology analysis of the active ingredient's target genes and disease target genes, we identified nine core genes (AKT1, BAX, BCL2, CASP3, HIF1A, PTGS2, RELA, TP53, VEGFA) and HSP90 as involved. Notably, HIF1A showed the highest relevance, overlapping with two or more utilized programs. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) has been implicated in the expression of inflammatory cytokines, the induction of hypoxia, and the triggering of cytokine storms. Baicalein, a major component of SR, binds to both HIF-1 α and HSP90, suggesting that it may be a possible targeted treatment for viral pneumonia.Conclusions: Baicalein may bind to HIF-1α to control inflammation caused by viral infectious diseases and may also regulate hypoxic conditions to prevent impairment of lung function caused by an overactive immune system. These findings suggest further research into the molecular mechanisms involved in hypoxia and provide a scientific basis for improving the treatment of viral infectious diseases.","PeriodicalId":509794,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141276176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These putative target genes were compared with known targets of DCD to identify potential correlations. Using Cytoscape 3.10.2, a network was constructed to highlight key target genes. To further elucidate the underlying mechanisms, functional enrichment analysis was performed using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. Finally, CB-DOCK was used to assess binding affinities and confirm the interactions.Results: The results showed that a total of 27 compounds and 439 related genes were identified from DHMDPT. Among these, 373 genes interacted with the DCD gene set, indicating a close relationship between the effects of DHMDPT and DCD. Through GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathways, ‘Regulation of Apoptotic Process’, ‘Cytokine-Mediated signaling pathway’, and ‘AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications’ were identified as the functional pathways of the 18 key target genes of DHMDPT on DCD. Additionally, molecular docking was performed to assess the binding affinities of the six most highly associated key target genes of DCD with active compounds.Conclusions: Using a network pharmacology approach, which included molecular docking, DHMDPT was found to be highly relevant to DCD.
