In this study, we investigated the effect of Puerariae Radix ethanol extracts (EPR). The effect of the EPR on proliferation of human hair dermal papilla cells(HHDPCs) by MTT assay and observed Expression of mechanisms that regulate cell proliferation extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK) and Akt by western blot. The results showed EPR increased the proliferation of HHDPCs and up-regulation phosphorylation of ERK and Akt. ERK and Akt increased by EPR inhibited phosphorylation by PD98059 (ERK inhibitor) and LY294002 (Akt inhibitor), and cell proliferation was also inhibited. These results suggested EPR increases the proliferation of HHDPCs through phosphorylation of ERK and Akt, and therefore is a beneficial effect for the alopecia treatment.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of low level laser. Methods : We searched 11 electronic databases(Pubmed, CAJ, EMBASE, Medline, Cochrane Library, KMBASE, KISS, KISTI, NDSL, RISS, Oasis) up to March 2019. We included randomized controlled trials(RCTs) using low level laser for alopecia. The methodological quality of each RCT was assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Results : 8 RCT studies were eligible in our review. The meta-analysis of 2 studies showed favorable results for the use of low level laser with minoxidil 5% than minoxidil 5% and 6 studies showed favorable results for the use of low level laser than placebo light. The results of meta-analysis showed that low-level laser has an efficacy on alopecia. There were no serious side effects or adverse effects. High risk of bias were observed in all studies. Conclusion : Now limited evidence is available to support low level laser for alopecia and further well-designed RCTs should be encouraged.
