Banhabaekchulchhonma-tang is a traditional Korean herbal prescription with a range of pharmacological activities. In this study, the simultaneous analysis of 12 kinds of marker components, Homogentisic acid, Hesperidin, Naringin, Alisol A, Atractylenolide II, Atractylenolide III, Ginsenoside Rg1, Formononetin, Gastrodin, Berberine, Palmatine and 6-gingerol, in Banhabaekchulchhonma-tang was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The standard sample of commercial $C_{18}$ reversed phase-column using water (0.1% TFA) and acetonitrile as the mobile phase with a step gradient elution mode. The flow rate (1.0mL/min), injection volume ($10{\mu}L$) and column oven temperature ($40^{\circ}C$) at a 200, 220, 280 and 340nm wavelength was conducted. All calibration curves of the standard components showed good linearity ($r^2$ >0.999). In addition, the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) ranged from 0.012 to $0.878{\mu}g/mL$ and 0.009 to $0.290{\mu}g/mL$. The precision intra-day and inter-day were ranged from 0.07 to 1.21% and 0.20 to 0.90%, respectively. The recoveries ranged from 97.17 to 108.40%. Each sample amount showed a very small change. These results highlight the efficient quality evaluation of Banhabaekchulchhonma-tang.

Obesity often develops to hypothyroidism patients because thyroid hormone is associated with changes in body weight, body temperature, and energy expenditure. Obesity is not only pointed out as the cause of various other diseases, but also can worsen thyroid function, so obesity treatment is essential for hypothyroidism patients. But there is lack of studies about obesity treatment for hypothyroidism patients in Korea. In this study, two obese patients who diagnosed hypothyroidism were treated by Korean medicine. We prescribed herbal medicine (Banhabakchulchunma-tang) for about 2 months. A total of 6.5 kg and 4.5 kg of weight loss were observed respectively, and there were no serious side effects. Further large-scale clinical trials are needed to evaluate the anti-obesity effect and the effect of thyroid function improvement.

Background : Bojungikgitang(BJT) and Banhabaekchulchonmatang(BBT) are known to treat the tinnitus patients, which were registered Korean National Health Insurance coverage lists. Objective : Few studies have evaluated economic benefits of both herbal medicines. This research is to investigate the cost-effectiveness of Bojungikgitang(BJT) and Banhabaekchulchonmatang(BBT) in chronic tinnitus patients over nineteen years old. Method : We built the decision tree model of chronic tinnitus and executed the deterministic analysis and threshold sensitivity analysis based on randomized clinical trial. Effectiveness was measured in quality-adjusted life-years(QALYs), and costs were in 2009 KRW(South Korean Currency). The perspective is societal, time horizon is 10 weeks, and Korean willingness to pay threshold is assumed to 20,000,000KRW. Results : In the base case analysis, BJT treatment resulted is better outcomes as low cost, so BJT is dominant medicine and BBT is dominated. But both cost per QALYs (BJT is 3,120,339KWN per QALY, BBT is 3,505,780KWN per QALY) are lower than the threshold, that could be covered by Korean National Health Insurance(KNHI). Conclusion : This study results showed that BJT was more cost-effective than BBT treating tinnitus patients for 10 weeks, and the cost per QALYs of both alternatives were lower than Korean national threshold.

In order to investigate the effects of Banhabaekchulcheonmatang and Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang on antitumor effects after Sarcoma-180 cells transplantation into the peritoneal cavity or left groin in mice, and immune responses in mice induced by methotrexate, the extracts of its herbal medicines were orally administered for 14 or 21 days. Experimental studies were performed for measurance of mean survival days, tumor and body weight for antitumor effects, and delayed type hypersensitivity, hemagglutinin titer, hemolysin titer, rosette forming cells, natural killer cell activity and phagocytic activity for immune responses in ICR mice. Following results were obtained : 1. Mean survival time in Banhabaekchulcheonmatang and Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang-treated group was significantly prolonged, as compared with the control group(P<0.010, P<0.005). 2. Tumor weight in Banhabaekchulcheonmatang and Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang-treated group was significantly depressed, as compared with the control group(P<0.050, P<0.050). 3. Body weight in Banhabaekchulcheonmatang-treated group was significantly increased (P<0.050), but in Banhabackchulcheonmatanggamibang-treated group was slightly increased with no effectivenes, as compared with the control group. 4. Delayed type hypersensitivity in Banhabaekchulcheonmatang and Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang-treated group was significantly increased, as compared with the control group(P<0.010, P<0.050). 5. Hemagglutinin titer in Banhabaekchulcheonmatang and Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang-treated group was significantly increased, as compared with the control group(P<0.050, P<0.050). 6. Hemolysin titer in Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang-treated group was significantly increased (P<0.050), but in Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang-treated group was slightly increased with no effectiveness, as compared with the control group. 7. Rosette forming cells in Banhabaekchulcheonmatang and Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang-treated group was slightly increased with no effectiveness, as compared with the control group. 8. Natural Killer cell activity in Banhabaekchulcheonmatang and Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang-treated group was slightly increased with no effectiveness, as compared with the control group. 9. Phagocytic activity in Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang-treated group group was significantly increased (P<0.050), but in Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang-treated group was increased with no effectiveness, as compared with the control group. According to the above results, it could be suggested that Banhabaekchulcheonmatang and Banhabaekchulcheonmatanggamibang have prominent antitumor effects, and enhance both cellular and humoral immunity.
