The Sa-am acupuncture is the acupuncture method created during Chosun Dynasty. It is a unique acupuncture method that was created solely in Korea. Its theories are based on the 69th article of "Classic of Difficult Issues", or Nanjing (難經), which says "tonify its mother when deficiency occurs, and purgate its son when excess occurs" (虛則補其母, 實則瀉其子); the concept of "controlling the viscera which restrains the target" "抑其官" was added to this theory to form the principle of Sa-am acupuncture. It is significant that it turns to the basic principles of the Five Viscera and Six Bowels rather than the 體針 or 阿是針 of the existing acupuncure. Sa-am acupuncture was established in the middle of Chosun Dynasty and was popularized to the practitioners of Korean Medicine through transcripts and printed books. The medical books of at the time of Japanese imperialism that introduced Sa-am acupuncture are "經絡學總論", "舍岩鍼灸訣", "經濟要訣", "靑囊訣", "察病要訣", "濟世寶鑑", "經驗寢具編", and "舍岩 靑囊訣". The magazine that mentions the Sa-am acupuncture is "韓方醫藥". The books on Traditional Medicine that is related to Sa-am acupuncture were of great help in reconstruction of Sa-am acupuncture after the liberation of Korea and explaining the principle of Sa-am acupunture in various angles.

This report describes the effectiveness of mahaenggamseog-tang(麻杏甘石湯) on the patients who suffered from atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. We administered mahaenggamseog-tang with heat-clearing and lung-dispersing(淸熱宣肺) effect to two dermatitis patients who showed sweating with panting(汗出而喘), vexation and thirst(煩渴), aversion to heat(惡熱), agitation(煩燥), swelling of the face and eyes(面目浮腫). The severity of dermatitis was evaluated by visual analogue scale(VAS), pictures, SCORAD index(case 1), PASI(case 2). After the treatment, VAS/SCORAD index of case 1 changed from 9/71.5 to 0/6.1; VAS/PASI of case 2 from 8/36.8 to 1/6.8. Mahaenggamseog-tang could improved the symptoms of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis in this study.

목적 : 시스테인 단백분해 효소인 cathepsin는 인간과 생쥐의 항원제시세포에서 II형 주적합항원 불변사슬(MHC class II invariant chain)의 분해에 관여한다. 본 연구는 녹용 약침액이 류마티스 관절염 생쥐 모델의 골조직(연골과 활액) 유래 cathepsin 활성에 미치는 영향을 검정하였다. 방법 : 관절염 동물모델은 BALb/c계 생쥐를 생후 3일에 흉선 적출(3d-Tx)을 하여 만들었다. 동물모델의 골조직, 임파절세포, 비장 등을 녹용처치군과 대조군으로 나누어 cathepsin의 활성도 및 자가항원 특이(C-II-specific) T-세포의 활성도를 비교 분석하였다. 결과 : 각 장기에서 cathepsin S의 활성은 녹용약침 처치군에서 농도 의존적으로 유의성 있게 억제되었고, T-세포 특이 자가항원반응은 녹용약침 처치군의 임파절 세포에서 유의성있게 억제되었다. 그리고 T-세포 특이 자가항원 반응의 불활성화에는 녹용 10~20ug/ml의 용량으로 충분하였다. 결론 : 이러한 실험결과는 녹용 약침액이 cathepsin S를 선택적으로 억제시켜 류마티스 관절염과 같은 자가면역 질환에 유효한 치료약물로 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.
