Abstract

1. The purpose of study To study the effectiveness of Yangkyuksanhawtang(YST) against Allergic Contact Dermatitis(ACD) I observed the change of cutaneous shape, histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and the distribution of apoptotic cells. 2. The material and method of study I divided 4-month-old rats into three groups of 10, which are a contrastive group of having applied Acetone olive oil only, ACD group to have intentionally activated Allergic Contact Dermatitis by DNCB and YST group to give medication of Yangkyuksanhawtang extract. And I observed each group of mice after 24, 48 and 72 hours. 3. The result and conclusion of study The change of cutaneous shape and hypersensitive reaction of immunity was significantly decreased by YST in ACD rats. I consider that YST suppressed hypersensitive reaction of immunity and inflammation in ACD.
