“…Traditionally, herbal medicines have been used in the treatment and prevention of diseases, and as raw food material in East Asia [10,13]. Consumer preference for herbal medicines as functional raw materials in medicines, food, and food additives has recently increased [14,15,16]. Liriope platyphylla is a widespread perennial herb occurring throughout boreal and temperate regions.…”

“…Akebia quinata is a dried wild Clematis shrub that grows in mountains. It has been reported to have anti-oxidative activity, antibacterial effects, diuretic effects, and antiinflammatory activity [14,22]. Lonicera japonica, a twining shrub that grows in East Asia, including Korea, has been used as a superb anti-inflammatory medicinal plant from ancient times.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional properties of herbal medicine aqueous extracts as natural preservatives to improve the quality characteristics and oxidative stability of emulsion-type pork sausage. The pH value was significantly higher in sausages of control than in groups containing herbal medicine extracts (p<0.05). The shear force values increased with the addition of herbal medicine extracts (p<0.05). The addition of herbal medicine extracts also reduced the lightness and redness, and increased the yellowness, chroma, and hue observed during storage (p<0.05). In addition, the anti-oxidative activity including 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), peroxide value (POV), and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazla hydrate (DPPH) was higher in the Akebiaquinata (T3), Lonicera japonica (T4), and Chelidoniummajus (T5) groups than in the other groups (p<0.05). In a sensory evaluation, the Liriopeplatyphylla (T1) and Saposhnikoviaedivaricata (T2) groups scored lower than the control, whereas the T3, T4, and T5 groups showed similar attributes compared with the control. In conclusion, the addition of herbal medicine extracts did not have negative effects on the quality of emulsion-type pork sausage, and they could be used as a natural antioxidant material to prevent lipid oxidation in meat products.

“…In addition, concomitant use of St. John’s Wort with immunosuppressive drugs like cyclosporine will cause reduced plasma concentration [12], [13]. Undoubtedly, it is imperative to identify dangerous DSIs particularly in vulnerable populations, such as cancer patients and the elderly, who are at a greater risk of experiencing DSIs [14], [15]. …”

Clinical notes contain rich information about dietary supplements, which are critical for detecting signals of dietary supplement side effects and interactions between drugs and supplements. One of the important factors of supplement documentation is usage status, such as started and discontinuation. Such information is usually stored in the unstructured clinical notes. We developed a rule-based classifier to identify supplement usage status in clinical notes. The categories referring to the patient’s status of supplement use were classified into four classes: Continuing (C), Discontinued (D), Started (S), and Unclassified (U). Clinical notes containing 10 of the most commonly consumed supplements (i.e., alfalfa, echinacea, fish oil, garlic, ginger, ginkgo, ginseng, melatonin, St. John’s Wort, and Vitamin E) were retrieved from the University of Minnesota Clinical Data Repository. The gold standard was defined by manually annotating 1000 randomly selected sentences or statements mentioning at least one of these 10 supplements. The rules in the classifier was initially developed on two-thirds of the set of 7 supplements (i.e., alfalfa, garlic, ginger, ginkgo, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, and Vitamin E); the performance was evaluated on the remaining one-third of this set. To evaluate the generalizability of rules, we further validated the second testing set on other 3 supplements (i.e., echinacea, fish oil, and melatonin). The performance of the classifier achieved F-measures of 0.95, 0.97, 0.96, and 0.96 for status C, D, S, and U on 7 supplements, respectively. The classifier also showed good generalizability when it was applied to the other 3 supplements with F-measures of 0.96 for C, 0.96 for D, 0.95 for S, and 0.89 for U. This study demonstrated that the classifier can accurately classify supplement usage status, which can be further integrated as a module into the existing natural language processing pipeline for supporting dietary supplement knowledge discovery.
