Abstract
BACKGROUND BIOGF1K, a compound-K-rich fraction, has been shown to display anti-inflammatory activity. Although Panax ginseng is widely used for the prevention of photoaging events induced by UVB irradiation, the effect of BIOGF1K on photoaging has not yet been examined. In this study, we investigated the effects of BIOGF1K on UVB-induced photoaging events. METHODS We analyzed the ability of BIOGF1K to prevent UVB-induced apoptosis, enhance matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression, upregulate anti-inflammatory activity, reduce sirtuin 1 expression, and melanin production using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, melanin content assay, tyrosinase assay, and flow cytometry. We also evaluated the effects of BIOGF1K on the activator protein-1 signaling pathway, which plays an important role in photoaging, by immunoblot analysis and luciferase reporter gene assays. RESULTS Treatment of UVB-irradiated NIH3T3 fibroblasts with BIOGF1K prevented UVB-induced cell death, inhibited apoptosis, suppressed morphological changes, reduced melanin secretion, restored the levels of type I procollagen and sirtuin 1, and prevented mRNA upregulation of MMP-1, MMP-2, and cyclo-oxygenase-2; these effects all occurred in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, BIOGF1K markedly reduced activator-protein-1-mediated luciferase activity and decreased the activity of mitogen-activated protein kinases (extracellular response kinase, p38, and C-Jun N-terminal kinase). CONCLUSION Our results strongly suggest that BIOGF1K has anti-photoaging activity and that BIOGF1K could be used in anti-aging cosmeceutical preparations.

Abstract
Chronic heart failure is often characterized by the elevated amounts of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the heart. Thus, it is of importance that selective release of therapeutic drugs occurs at the heart failure site to maximize therapeutic effects. In this work, functional mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) were developed for detection of H2O2, selective drug release and controlled treatment toward heart failure. The H2O2-sensitive probe was attached to the surface of the MSNPs, and a therapeutic drug of heart failure, captopril, was loaded within the pores of the MSNPs and retained by the binding of α-cyclodextrin to the probe. H2O2 present in tissue could react with the probe and enable the dissociation of α-cyclodextrin present on the nanoparticle surface, so that captopril could be successfully released along with "turn-on" of the probe fluorescence. In vivo experiments using the KillerRed heart failure transgenic zebrafish model demonstrated that this therapeutic system is physiologically responsive. Captopril-loaded MSNPs showed high therapeutic efficacy, improving the heartbeat rate and cardiac output in zebrafish experiencing acute KillerRed-induced heart failure.

Abstract
Responsive nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates as drug delivery vehicles in order to address biomedical diseases such as cancer. In this work, polymer-based responsive nanoparticles prepared by a supramolecular approach are loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) for the cancer therapy. The nanoparticles contain disulfide bonds within the polymer network, allowing the release of the DOX payload in a reducing environment within the endoplasm of cancer cells. In addition, the loaded drug can also be released under acidic environment. In vitro anticancer studies using redox and pH dual responsive nanoparticles show excellent performance in inducing cell death and apoptosis. Zebrafish larvae treated with DOX-loaded nanoparticles exhibit an improved viability as compared with the cases treated with free DOX by the end of a 3 d treatment. Confocal imaging is utilized to provide the daily assessment of tumor size on zebrafish larva models treated with DOX-loaded nanoparticles, presenting sustainable reduction of tumor. This work demonstrates the development of functional nanoparticles with dual responsive properties for both in vitro and in vivo drug delivery in the cancer therapy.
