This was developed by the digestive system laboratory of the clinic research institute, Pyongyang college of medicine attached to
Our country has the abundant resources of raw materials of tangleweed because it is surrounded by the sea on the three sides.
The digestive system laboratory found the enzyme dissoluting the sialic acid of the sialglycoprotein which plays an important role in preventing the self digestion of the gastric mucous membrane-pathogenic nature of ulcer in the gastric fluid, gastric mucous membrane and powdered pepsin and also found that there is the matter hindering that enzyme from coming in the tangleweed. On the basis of such finding, the laboratory developed a new medicine.
That laboratory found that the tangleweed's hindering capacity was 1.38 times more than that of beef. According to the experience of 30 years, among about 12500 patients 100% of normal ulcer and 78.2% of the old ulcer were cured. The relapse rate reduced up to 10%.
This is the mixture of the food and Korean medicine (macerated extract of adley) without any adverse reaction.
This was highly estimated in the several national exhibitions. This was conferred its state standard in 1983 and started to be produced widely. In 1994, it was conferred its update state standard since its hindering capacity increased and later conferred a patent right and a national scientific success certificate.
The research group found that there was seldom a relapse among the patients cured with this medicine. 8 kinds of tangleweed medicine have been widely used.
The research group will contribute actively to the promotion of our people's health by studying and developing more kinds of tangleweed medicine. This medicine can be made easily even in the small and medium pharmaceuptical factories since its manufacturing process is simple. The research group hopes to activate the joint reseach and science exchange for the development of the tangleweed medicine in the international scale.
