Various embodiments of the invention relate to compositions comprising vitamins, minerals and trace elements, antioxidants, amino acids, probiotics, and other components and methods for using such compositions to treat or prevent diseases associated with oxidative stress, including cardiovascular disease.

The present disclosure relates to the generation of an activated platelet product in which one or more of the presence or absence of clots, the timing of clot formation (if present), and/or the mechanical strength of clots (if present) is controlled by the presence or concentration of calcium ions during the activation process. In certain embodiments, the calcium ion concentration is controlled in the presence of pulsed electric fields or a chemical activator (e.g., thrombin) as part of the activation process.

Hemostatic compositions including a combination of more than one hemostatic agent, and devices coated or impregnated therewith, have been developed. Nanotechnology yields hemostatic agents with large surface areas thereof, thereby increasing the hemostatic properties of the device to which they are applied. By combining more than one hemostatic agent and utilizing one or more different nanotechnology approaches to enhance the surface areas thereof, the capability of the dressing to stop bleeding is improved via more than one mechanism, and thus provides better hemostasis.

Provided is an A.C.C. extract from a combination of medicinal herbs, which are Phellodendron bark, Scutellaria baicalensis, Paeonia lactiflora Pall, Dictamnus dasycarpus Turcz, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Alumen, Dryobalanops aromatica Gaertner, Mentha arvensis var. piperascens, Inula helenium, Syringa velutina var. kamibayashii, Corydalis incisa, Eclipta prostrata, Lonicera japonica, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and a composition having the same as an active ingredient. The A.C.C. extract of the present invention reduces production of TNF-α IL-1β and IL-6, thereby regulating the expression of iNOS and thus exhibiting an anti-inflammatory effect inhibiting NO production. Also clinically, the A.C.C. extract of the present invention is a substance that alleviates symptoms such as diaper rash and miliaria through anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activitities and can be used as an effective anti-inflammatory agent.
