A gene expression promoter for skin beautification contains a fermented extract of aspergillus oryzae as an effective component. The gene expression promotor for skin beautification causes expression of at least one gene for skin beautification among BMP-2, TGFB1, CLDN7, HB-EGF, VEGF-A, LCE3D, and PPAR-D. The fermented extract of aspergillus oryzae is extracted using water after steamed rice as a raw material is fermented with aspergillus oryzae.

An agent for promoting collagen production, comprising a fermentation product of a Lamiaceae plant.

A composition having a non-polar fraction obtained from at least one fermented plant material is provided. The at least one plant material has been subjected to a lactic acid fermentation.

A data centre (10) includes one or more controllable air circulation systems (e.g. air optimiser (11)), one or more cold aisles (15) and/or one or more hot aisles (16), one or more rows of racks (14), the data centre being so arranged that in use cooling air (18) passes, under the control of the one or more controllable air circulation systems, from a cold aisle (15) through the racks (14) and/or through the racks (14) to a hot aisle (16). An access door (20), which provides access to at least one of the aisles, is movable between an open position allowing personnel access to the aisle and a closed position. The door (20) has an aperture (25) in which is provided a controllable air intake arrangement, for example comprising a vent (17) in the form of multiple vertically extending rotatable blades (28). The width (24) of the door is wider than the width (26) of the aisle associated with the door (20), so that the width of the aperture (25) may be larger than or substantially equal to the width (26) of the aisle. Air-flow into the aisle may therefore be subjected to less of a constriction than if the door (20) and aperture (25) were narrower.

The invention relates to the use of dextran sulfate and to a dermatological composition or dermo-cosmetic composition containing dextran sulfate, in the treatment and/or prevention of inflammatory skin conditions, particularly atopic dermatitis.

The present invention relates to a method for producing an enzymatically treated catechin product with increased contents of gallic acid, epicatechin (EC), and epigallocatechin (EGC), an enzymatically treated catechin product produced by way of the method, and use thereof.

The present invention provides methods for promoting health in a subject, comprising administering to a subject a Brassicaceae product fermented with lactic acid bacteria. In addition the present invention compositions and delivery vehicles for promoting health in a subject, comprising administering to a subject a Brassicaceae product fermented with lactic acid bacteria.

A medicinal composition having a nitrate enriched extract of Amaranth for the prevention and treatment of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and for the improvement of cardioprotective health and cardio renal protection. A method for the prevention and treatment of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, method of improving cardioprotective health and cardio renal protection by using the composition having a nitrate enriched extract of Amaranth.

A debittering Kudingcha extract, a preparation method and a fingerprint detection method thereof are disclosed, which relates to the technical field of extract preparation and detection. The extract is prepared from Kudingcha by enzymolysis, water extraction, concentration, drying, purification and enrichment by a macroporous resin column, and drying. When the macroporous resin column is arranged for purification and enrichment, it is first rinsed with pure water, and then eluted with an ethanol solution with volume fraction of 30-80%, and an ethanol eluent is collected. The Kudingcha extract is purified with macroporous resin, which can retain its effective ingredients to the greatest extent while reducing the bitter taste, and enhance the effect of improving energy and resisting fatigue. The quality control of products through fingerprint is conducive to the improvement of product stability and further promotion of products.

A fermented extract of aerial parts of Citrus aurantium and the process for obtaining it. The fermented extract may be added to a cosmetic composition. Also, the use of a fermented extract of Citrus aurantium to combat skin ageing, and also as an antioxidant active agent, to prevent/reduce oxidative stress and/or to detoxify the skin.
