1944년 임상적으로 사용되기 시작한 스트렙토마이신은 전세계 결핵환자의 치료약제로 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 스트렙토마이신의 알레르기성 과민반응의 경우 그 발생빈도가 대단히 낮고 그로인한 사망률도 극히 낮은 안전한 약제임에도 불구하고, 오히려 그 부작용이 과장되게 알려져 있어 사용하기를 꺼리는 경향이 있다. 임상증세로는 주로 피부, 호흡기, 순환기, 소화기의 장기와 관련되어 발생한다. 초회 주사시의 쇼크는 자신도 모르는 사이에 이미 감작되었을 가능성이 있으며 주사를 계속 맞다가 발생하는 수도 있다. 무엇보다도 예방이 가장 중요하며 혼자의 과거 알레르기반응의 유무 및 약물 사용력을 정확히 파악한 후 사용하여야 한다

This study examined the actual state and future improvement of food allergies in adolescents and adults in order to prevent damage. In this survey, proportions of females, people in their 40s, college graduates, and office workers and housewives with allergies were higher than other groups. Exactly 41.1% of participants responded that they had experienced food allergies while 58.9% responded that they had not. According to their responses, the most common food allergy symptom involved the skin while whole-body allergic reactions were rare. Most respondents answered that frequency of their food allergies was two or three times. There was a variety of allergenic foods, including fast food, eggs, mackerel and milk, and instant food was ranked as the most allergenic food. Therefore, in order to protect consumers from damage caused by food allergens, the food allergen labeling system must be improved. A better food allergen labeling system should be implemented to avoid potential risks of allergic reactions and ensure national food safety.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors related to allergic diseases based on the health behavior of the youth in multicultural families according to the data from Tenth Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey 2014 (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention). The subjects from 712 multicultural adolescents were analyzed by the SPSS program. For the characteristics of health behavior of the multicultural youth, 267 students (37.5%) have experienced drinking alcohol, 164 students (23.0%) have experienced smoking, and 35 students (4.9%) have experienced taking drugs. Also, 198 students (27.8%) were depressed, 259 students (36.3%) are suffering from stress, and 286 students (40.2%) failed to fully relieve fatigue. In addition, 497 students (69.8%) consider themselves as healthy, 449 students (63.1%) consider themselves as happy, and 251 students (35.3%) consider themselves as overweight. Among the allergic disease of the multicultural youth, 46 middle school students (6.5%) and 35 high school students (4.9%) have asthma, 95 middle school students (13.3%) and 87 high school students (12.2%) have allergic rhinitis, and 67 middle school students (9.4%) and 53 high school students (7.4%) have atopic dermatitis. 47 male students (6.6%) and 34 female students (4.8%) have asthma, 81 male students (11.4%) and 101 female students (14.1%) have allergic rhinitis, and 53 male students (7.4%) and 67 female students (9.4%) have atopic dermatitis. Among the multicultural youth, 81 students (11.4%) have asthma, 182 students (25.5%) have allergic rhinitis, and 120 students (16.8%) have atopic dermatitis. For the allergic diseases from the health behavior of the multicultural youth, depression (p<0.001), alcohol experience (p<0.05), drug experience (p<0.05), health recognition (p<0.05), happiness recognition (p<0.05), and body type recognition (p<0.05) had a statistically significant relationship with asthma. Fatigue recovery recognition (p<0.001), health recognition (p<0.001) and stress recognition (p<0.05) had a statistically significant relationship with allergic rhinitis. Body type recognition (p<0.01), depression (p<0.05), fatigue recovery recognition (p<0.05), health recognition (p<0.05), and happiness recognition (p<0.05) had a statistically significant relationship with atopic dermatitis. Such results show that schools and society need to educate the multicultural youth about health, happiness, and body type recognition which are big factors of allergic diseases. Schools and society also need to be more systematic and continuous in order to help multicultural youth to be have correct recognition of depression, stress and fatigue recovery.

In order to investigate the inhibitory effects on the type IV allergy reaction of the hot water extracts (10 mg/20 g body weight) from medicinal herbs (Flos magnoliae, Poncirus trifoliata, Bupleurum falcatum, Scutellaria baicalensis, Schisandra chinensis), delayed type hypersensitivity by 2,4-dinitro-1-fluorobenzene (DNFB) was measured. Scutellaria baicalensis, Schisandra chinensis and Poncirus trifoliata showed inhibitory effects on the delayed type hypersensitivity by DNFB in the 1'st and 2'nd sensitized mice, but Flos magnoliae showed valuable changes only in the 2'nd sensitized mice. Inhibitory effect of Bupleurum falcatum had no statistical significance (p>0.05). According to above results, Scutellaria baicalensis, Schisandra chinensis and Poncirus trifoliata are supposed to be effective as anti-delayed type allergic regimen.

This review on ocular toxicology concentrates on the effects on ocular health and contact lens wear induced by systemically used drugs, including alcohol. Many systemically administered drugs produce ocular adverse effects. Fortunately, relatively few are capable of causing significant, irreversible visual impairment. The visual symptoms of acute intoxication are as follows : Drop in vision/visual acuity, diplopia, poor dark adaptation, increase in time for glare recovery, early cataract, decreased depth perception, blue-yellow or red-green colour defect and visual hallucinations. Blinking pattern, tear production, and discoloration of contact lenses can be affected by some systemic or local ocular medications. The cornea, conjunctiva, or eyelids may react to some systemic medications and to some preservatives used in contact lens solutions. The hydrogel contact lens act as a drug reservoir that emits the drug over time. I discuss management of contact lens-induced infectious and inflammatory conditions.

Nasal polyps were apparently common in many parts of the world and treated for nearly three thousand years. Nasal polyps are round, smooth, soft, semi-translucent, yellow or pale glistening structures, usually attached to the nasal or sinus mucosa by a relatively narrow stalk or pedicle. The incidence of nasal polyps is increased in patients with atopic diseases; it varies from 15% to 25% and now increased using allergy therapy for nasal polyposis treatment. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the sinuses. Many agents can cause an inflammatory response, including organisms such as bacteria and viruses, physical and chemical trauma, and antigen antibody reactions. The role of antigen antibody interactions (allergy) in simusitis is not completely understood ; however, patients with allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps have a high incidence of sinusitis. Recently authors have experienced two cured cases of nasal polyposis combined with chronic sinusitis by allergy therapy, that cases were treated only allergy thereapy after Caldwell Luc operation with ethmoidectomy and polypectomy. At now cases were not recur of nasal polyps and nasal symptoms. So the cases were reported with a brief review of literature.

자연계에 널리 분포하고 있는 flavonoid 유도체들은 다양한 구조에 따라, 다양한 생물활성을 보인다. 최근에는 이들이 cyclooxygenase/lipoxygenase를 저해한다는 사실이 알려진 후에 이들 유도체들을 항염증제 또는 항알레르기 약물로 개발하려는 시도가 계속되고 있다. 이들 연구의 일환으로 본 연구자들은 여러 flavonoid유도체들에 대한 in vivo 항염증능 및 림프구증식억제능을 보고하였다 (Arch. Pharm. Res. 16, 18, 25 (1993), 17, 31, 236 (1994), Life Sci. 54, 313 (1994)). 또한 flavonoid 유도체들 중 apigenin-dimer인 수종의 biflavonoid들이 group II phospholipase $A_2$ 저해제인 것을 밝혔고 (BBRC 205, 843 (1994)), 이들 중 몇 종은 림프구증식능에 대하여 억제작용을 보인다는 것을 알았다 (Life Sci. in revision). 본 연구에서는 이들 biflavonoid 유도체들 중 amentoflavone과 ginkgetin을 중심으로 이들의 림프구증식억제능 및 in vivo에서의 항염증작용을 연구하였다. 그 결과, ginkgetin (1-10 $\mu$M)은 Con A와 LPS에 의해 유도되는 림프구중식을 비가역적으로 억제하였으며, 이들 유도체들은 마우스 귀부종에 대하여 복강내투여에서 강력한 항염증능을 보인다는 것을 알았다.

Objectives : In this study, we investigated the effect of KOB, a polyherbal medicine for allergic rhinitis and its main herb, Astragali Radix on allergic responses in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced Allergic rhinitis(AR) mice. Methods : Sprague Dawley (SD)-rats were orally administrated with KOB (500 mg/kg), Astragali Radix water extract (ARW, 100 mg/kg) or anti-histamine drug, dosodium cromoglycate (50 mg/kg) as a reference drug, and then intraperitoneally injected with compound 48/80 (8 mg/kg). Rats were measured the mortality and serum levels of histamine. BALB/c mice were orally administrated with KOB (500 mg/kg), ARW (100 mg/kg) or anti-histamine drug, Ketotifen (10 mg/kg) as a reference drug, followed by sensitization and challenge of OVA. Mice were measured the serum levels of histamine and IgE, and observed histopathological changes of nasa mucosa H&E staining. Results : KOB and ARW significantly decreased the mortality and the serum levels of histamine in compound 48/80-induced anaphylatic rats. KOB and ARW also decreased the serum levels of histamine and IgE in OVA-induced AR mice, and inhibited histopathological changes of nasal mucosa with inflammation and the eosinophils infilteration. Conclusions : These data suggest that KOB has a strong anti-allergic effect through the inhibitory property of Astragali Radix, the main component of KOB against allergic responses in allergic rhinitis.
