TThe eyelids are often the first facial feature to show visible signs of aging. Their exceptionally thin skin and minimal subcutaneous fat make them especially prone to sagging from constant eye movement and gravity. AAs people reach middle age, the double eyelid line may become less defined or smaller, contributing to a heavy, fatigued appearance. This sagging can obstruct vision, cause eyelashes to turn inward, and lead to symptoms such as inflammation, irritation, or discomfort around the eyes.In addition to aesthetic concerns, these functional problems can affect quality of life, and a dro2025.07.31 14:54
대전대학교 한방병원 연구팀이 한약제제 인진오령산이 대사성 지방간염(MASH) 개선에 효과가 있음을 밝혀냈다. 미국 QPS 연구소와의 국제 공동연구로 진행된 이번 연구는 ‘Journal of Ethnopharmacology’에 최근 발표됐다.연구팀은 서구화된 식습관으로 유도된 동물 모델과 인체 간세포 모델에 인진오령산을 투여해 간 지방 축적, 염증, 섬유화, 세포자멸사를 현저히 억제하는 효과를 확인했다. 간 효소(AST, ALT)와 중성지방, 콜레스테롤 수치도 정상 범위로 회복됐다.특히 이번 연구는 인진오령산이 YAP/TAZ 신호전달 경로를 억제해 간 섬유화와 종양 발생 관련 핵심 분자를 조절한다는 점을 처음으로 규명했다. 주요 성분인 알리솔 B, 시나믹2025.07.31 14:48
여름철 무더위와 장마로 인해 다리 혈관이 부풀거나 튀어나오는 하지정맥류 환자가 늘고 있다. 하지정맥류는 다리 혈관 내 판막 기능이 약해지면서 혈액이 심장 대신 다리 쪽으로 역류해 혈관이 늘어나는 질환이다. 장시간 서 있거나 복부 비만, 무리한 운동 등이 주요 원인으로 꼽힌다.하지정맥류 초기에는 다리 혈관이 울퉁불퉁해지고 붓거나 통증, 피로감, 야간 경련 등의 증상이 나타난다. 시간이 지날수록 증상이 악화돼 심각한 합병증으로 이어질 수 있으므로, 초기 증상이 발견되면 지체 없이 의료기관을 찾아 정확한 검사를 받고 치료받는 것이 중요하다.전정욱 수원푸른맥외과 원장은 “하지정맥류는 단순 증상 완화가 아닌 근본 원인을2025.07.31 13:59
