The immune system can be divided into natural resistance, nonspecific immune system and specific immune system. Natural resistance (first line of defense) is an anatomical physiological element that blocks all invaders, including microorganisms, regardless of their type. Nonspecific immunity (secondary line) is a phagocyte that breaks through natural resistance and removes intruders. A specific immune system is a highly developed immune system with the ability to distinguish between memory and non-magnetic (Kim et al. Kim et al., 2008; Leiro et al., 2007; Han et al., 2009).

The leukocytes constitute a secondary or tertiary defense line, which breaks the primary line and takes charge of the foreign body. In the case of bacterial, viral infection or inflammatory reaction, the control of macrophage and lymphocyte activity is decided on the therapeutic effect of the drug It plays a pivotal role. Macrophage is a multifunctional cell that plays an important role in the immune system by producing various cytokines and NO in the context of oxidative stress. In particular, iNOS expressed by stimuli such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), cytokine, and TNF-α in macrophages is known to produce large amounts of NO over a long period of time to promote NFκB activity. Superoxide anion by the activated macrophages (superoxide anion, O2 ^-), hydrogen peroxide _{(hydrogen peroxide, H 2 O 2} ) and active oxygen species such as; Production of (reactive oxygenspecies ROS) and nitrogen monoxide (nitric oxide, NO) is It is an important cytotoxic and cytostatic mechanism in nonspecific immunity. A number of studies have been conducted on which natural compounds affect the production of ROS and NO by macrophages. Macrophages play a central role in cell-mediated or humoral immunity as antigen-presenting, tumoricidal, or microbicidal cells. (Dawson TM, et al., 1996). These results indicate that NO produced by activated macrophages is a nonspecific host defense mechanism, and that it inhibits proliferation of bacteria and cancer cells.

Macrophages contain many lysosomes, which contain acid hydrolytic enzymes and peroxidase. It is also strongly attached to the glass surface and plastic surface and actively digests microorganisms and tumor cells. The cell has a cytokine receptor such as IFN-y. They produce cytokines such as complement components, interferons, interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor, and can be enhanced by several cytokines produced from T-cells (Kim et al., 2004; Kim et al. 2008; Leiro et al., 2007; Han et al., 2009).

Cancer is widely classified into blood cancer and solid cancer, and it occurs in almost all parts of the body such as lung cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, oral cancer, liver cancer, uterine cancer, esophageal cancer and skin cancer. Of the methods used to treat malignant tumors, chemotherapeutic agents other than surgery or radiation therapy are collectively referred to as anticancer drugs, and most of them exhibit anticancer activity by inhibiting the synthesis of nucleic acids. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a water-soluble fluorinated pyrimidine derivative, which is used as an antitumor agent. (Kim et al., 2012). (Kanetaka et al., 2012), which is used alone or in combination with leucovorin (LV) for solid tumors such as liver cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer and breast cancer and has a plasma half- ). (Wettergren et al., 2012), which can lead to side effects such as myelosuppression, gastrointestinal reaction, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.

At present, many natural products are being used to improve health through immunity enhancement around the world. In the United States, natural products are recognized not only as medicines but also as health-functional foods. It is known that not only in Asia but also one third of the US population is taking natural products at least once in the form of alternative medicines (Eisenberg et al., 1993). Drugs derived from natural products have been focused on the identification of active ingredients for the prevention and treatment of disease. While traditional medicine books such as Dongbok-bong have mentioned the efficacy of natural products, the information in the literature is not associated with the current specific diseases or symptoms. In addition, it has not been revealed which of the ingredients of the natural product has a direct effect. Natural products, which are known to have immunostimulatory effects among the natural products listed in Dong-Bo-bo-gyung and the Chinese Medicine Dictionary, require verification of immunity enhancement efficacy by modern scientific research.

The punishment casualty is the mature fruit of the annual herbivorous casualty ( Cnidium monieri (L). Cuss ) belonging to the Unbelliferae . Bee casualties are close to white, and when carefully observing the surface of the medicinal material, there are three ridges in the medicinal material, which are angular, and have lots of hairs on the skin. The taste of bee casualties is spicy, and the quality is warm and innocuous (Korean Society of Clinical Pharmacology, Herbal Medicine, 1995). It works on new, lung, and nonspecific. In one medicine, this medicine warms the kidneys and strengthens the stamina. It is applied to the pathologies of infertility. It has been used for men's erectile dysfunctions such as poisoning, hyperhidrosis, skin eczema, burning, improvement, etc. It is effective to warm the kidneys, to help the sexual function, to remove the wind, to dry and dry the humid. It is known that it is used for the treatment of men's ankle, scrotum warts, female pussy and pussy pruritus, infertility caused by cold of uterus, None of the above documents, however, discloses or teaches any description of the efficacy of the bee casualty extract as an immune enhancing, antibacterial and anticancer agent.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 100 ng / ml) was used as a positive control

As a result, as shown in Table 5 and FIG. 2D, the spermatogenic activity of RAW 264.7 cells according to the bee casualty extract treatment was increased up to 1.86 times in the 100 μM treatment group compared to the control group.

Experimental Example  6. Cancer heterogeneity  Anti-cancer experiments in animal models

(Holland EC, 2004; Lee B et al., 2012), in order to confirm the anticancer effect in the animal xenograft model experiment of the sample of the above example.

(22 ± 1 ° C), relative humidity (55 ± 1%) and 12-hour day and night control period (Standardized pellet) under the conditions of anesthesia, and animal protection regulations and standards (institutional, Wonkwang University Animal Care and Use Committee). To establish an allograft colon carcinoma animal model, cells (5 × 10 ⁵ CT-26c ell) in 200 μL PBS were injected into the right flank of the mouse (BALB / cmice). The tumors were cultured for 7 days until they were visible, and were divided into 7 groups of 9 animals each.

Each group was treated as follows: (a) normal (normal; no treatment and no cancer); (b) control (control; saline and cancer induced) (f) 5-FU and pupae extract-treated group (50 mg / kg; dose: 100 mg / kg / dose) (5 mg / kg / dose; 100 mg / kg / dose; bee casualty extract) (g) 5-FU and pupae extract administration group (50 mg / kg; 5-FU, 300 mg / The tumor size was treated for 5 days after the onset and the bee casualty extract was treated daily for 14 days. Tumor volume was measured 7 times at 2-day intervals with a caliper and calculated according to the following equation (2).

Here, the maximum tumor diameter and width were calculated according to the minimum tumor diameter according to the literature (Alessandria G. et al., 1987.).

At the end of the experiment, the mice were sacrificed overnight and the mice were sacrificed by ether anesthesia, and the blood was centrifuged to measure immune modulating substances in the blood.

The results showed that the treatment of tumor necrosis factor extract in CT-26 tumor-xenografted mice was significantly smaller than that of the control or 5FU treatment group. In particular, the combined administration group of 5-FU and necrotic extracts (Tumor Necrosis Factor) (TNF-a), which is the immunomodulator, was also significantly increased compared to the tumor control and 5FU treatment groups in the mixed treatment group of 5-FU and bee killer extract .
