Objectives : This study was designed to identify the possibility of aroma oils as the complementary medical goods specially for the effects of aromatheraphy on xerosis cutis. Materials and Methods : The participants were 23 adult patients and all participants of this study use aroma oils which is known to effect on xerosis cutis. The subjects consist of voluntary patients with xerosis cutis in Seong-So Hospital in Andong Kyoungbuk, Korea. From April 1st to April 30th, 2004 for 4 weeks, the subjects massaged aroma oils on itching parts or the whole body. Aroma oils were Lavender, Losemary, Jasmine and blended drop by drop per 10ml jojoba oil which used a carrier oil. Skin pH was measured with a skin pH meter(Model : HI98110, Se-Chang instruments, made in Portuga. After 4weeks using aroma oils, the participants answered questions about the feeling of satisfaction with aroma oils. Results : Changes in the physiological indices. The mean deviation of skin pH was $5.58{\pm}0.47$ points before using aroma oils and $5.53{\pm}0.45$ points after 2 weeks, no statistical significance was found(p=0.221). MD was $5.36{\pm}0.41$ points after 4 weeks using aroma oils, which was statistically significant decrease of 0.22 points(p=0.001) Changes on the Pruritus Score Scale. A modified scale of the Pruritus Score Scale(Duo, 1987) was used to measure the severity, location, frequency, and the inconveniences of daily life due to prurius. The maximum scale of severity was 4 points, the full marks of location was 2 points, the full marks of frequency was 3 points, the full marks of inconveniences of daily life due to pruritus was 3 points. The scores ranged from 0 to 12, with 12 indicating the most severe pruritus. There was no statistical difference in severity and frequency score at 4 weeks later(severity p=0.097, frequency p=0.633). A statistically significant difference was found in the score of location and the inconveniences of daily life due to pruritus(each p=0.003). Conclusion : Generally speaking, the patient suffering from renal itch is the higher than normal in skin pH levels. that means to show alkaline condition of skin surface. In some case in this study, skin pH levels was rather lower than normal levels when measured actually patients suffering from renal itch by skin pH meter. But in this study post-test skin pH levels decreased, showing the contribution of aromathrapy to acidic condition of skin surface in suffering from renal itch. It seems to be some help to cure a pruritus and also have no ill effects on aroma oils.

마우스의 비장세포에 아로마 에센셜 오일 중 eucalyptus나 geranium에 노출된 마우스비장세포로부터 생성되는 in-terleukin (IL)-2와 IL-4를 정량 분석하였다. Eucalyptus를 노출시킨 비장세포에서 IL-2의 생성은 저농도의 오일 노출의 경우 대조군에 비하여 증가한 반면 고농도에서는 감소를 보였으며 geranium을 노출시켰을 때에도 유사한 경향을 보였다. 따라서 eucalyptus나 geranium를 생체에 적용할 때 저농도하에서 T세포 증식을 포함하는 IL-2 관여 면역반응이 증강될 것으로 보인다. 비장세포에서 IL-4의 생성은 eucalyptus 고농도에서 증가를 보이지만 저농도에서는 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으며 geranium의 경우는 농도 의존적으로 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 따라서 eucalyptus나 geranium을 생체에 적용하였을 때 IL-4 증가는 B세포 증식을 포함하는 IL-4관련 여러 가지 면역반응을 상향시킬 것으로 예상된다.

An evaluation system for an electronic-nose concept using three types of metal oxide gas sensors that react similarly to the human olfactory cells was constructed for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of aroma fragrances. Four types of aroma fragrances (lavender, orange, jasmine, and Roman chamomile), which are commonly used in aromatherapy, were evaluated. All the gas sensors reacted remarkably to the aroma fragrances and the good correlation of r=0.58-0.88 with the aromatic odor intensities by olfaction was confirmed. From the results of the analysis of an electronic-nose concept for classifying the characteristics of aroma oil fragrances, aroma oils could be classified using the fragrance characteristics and oil extraction methods with the cumulative variability contribution rate of 95.65% (F1: 69.65%, F2: 26.03%) by principal component analysis. In the pattern recognition based on the artificial neural network, the four aroma fragrances were 100% recognized through the training data of 56 cases (70%) out of 80 cases, and the pattern recognition rate was 57.1%-71.4% through the validation and testing data of 24 cases (30%). The pattern recognition success rate through all confusion matrices was 82.1%, indicating that the classification of aroma oil fragrances using the three types of gas sensors was successful.

Purposes: This experimental study was designed to verify the effect of inhalation of essential oils on body weight, feed intake, food efficiency rate and serum leptin. Methods: The subjects of this study were 90 growing SD rats(46 males and 44 females). They were allocated into one of four groups, the Fennel group, Patchouli group, Bergamot group and control group. The experimental treatment was the inhalation of aromatherapy essential oils which was applied two times a day for 10 minutes each during 8 weeks. To evaluate the effects, body weight, feed intake, food efficiency rate and serum leptin were measured before and after the treatment. The collected data was analyzed by repeated measures of Kolmogorov-smirnov test and Normal Q-Q plot for nomality, Kruskal Wallis test and $X^2-test$ for experimental effects with the SPSS program. Results: The food efficiency rate was significantly lower in the Patchouli group and Fennel group than in the Bergamot group and control group(P=.000). No significant group effects were found for SD rat's body weight, feeding amount and serum leptin. Conclusion: In conclusion, these findings indicate that the inhalation of essential oils could be effective in lowering the food efficiency rate rather than the feed intake.

주방세제로 유도한 건성피부에 대한 Palmarosa, Neroli essential oil의 유효성 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 단백질 분석결과 Neroli essential oil 처리 군이 대조군과 가장 유사하게 나타났고 그 다음으로 Palmarosa + Neroli essential oil 처리 군이 대조군과 유사하게 복구되어 가고 있는 것으로 나타났고 그 다음으로 Palmarosa의 순이다. 표피층의 형태적 관찰결과로는 Palmarosa essential oil에 의한 각질층의 이탈과 Neroli essential oil에 의한 각질층의 복구에 의한 표피층의 비후 현상을 볼 수 있었으나 각각의 오일 처리군에서 계면활성제 처리 후 피부 염증에 대한 재생효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 염증 반응을 알아보기 위한 Mast Cell 실험에서 보면 대조군에 비해 계면활성제 연속처리군에서는 mast cell의 크기와 수가 증가되었음을 확인 할 수 있다. Neroli essential oil이 처리된 각각의 군에서는 mast cell의 수가 확연히 감소된 것을 볼 수 있다.
