Allergy has a born predominant cause of atopy in body and react oversenstively several meterial. The cause of allergy are tick, house dust, egg, milk, bean, cosmetics, virus, bacteria, flesh and meat in Western medicine. While, Oriental medicine did not have an application on the allergy, but recognized that allergy is connected with fetal toxicosis, heat-syndrome in new born, syndrome characterized by dyspnea, sneezing, stuffy nose, nasal discharge and phlegm. Therefor, We knowed method of medical treatment following cause of disease and pathogenesis against allergy. Allergic disease(atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, rhinitis) were related with lung, spleen, kidney. To prevent allergic disease in born, Oriental medicine taked a serious view of fetal education. In Western medicine, The cause of allergy applied to exopathogen of Oriental medicine. In Oriental medicine, Treatment of allergy used generally strengthening the body resistance to eliminate pathogenic factors.

Among the inhalant and foods which caused allergy, which is increasing nowaday, this research has a purpose of studying allergy-causing materials (allergen) which most frequently cause allergy. In order to conduct this research, we selected 100 hundred patients (M : F = 65 : 35) from in Kwangju Christian Hospital, who were tested through allergy multiple antigen simultaneous test (MAST) immunoblot assay (RIDA$^{(R)}$ X-Screen; r-Biopharm Co., Darmstadt, Germany). According to the test, the total IgE positive rate (above Class 2) from the inhalant is 58.3%, and that from food is 35%, respectively. This research showed that the first most allergen was the tick (Derm. farinae/Derm. pteronyssinus), the second most was housedust, and the third was the hair of pets such as cats and dogs; 65%, 35%, 26.3% in inhalant panel, and 52.5%, 40%, 50% in food panel, respectively. Thease allergens newly added to inhalant and food panels were not contributable to the detection of specifical allergen. We needs further improvement to be used as primary screening or quantitative test for allergy.

알러지는 복합적인 유전적, 환경적 요인에 의해 발병하는 질환이다. 선진국에서 알러지 질환의 수가 증가함에 따라 알러지에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으며 이에 대한 유전적인 원인에 대한 관심도 증가하고 있다. 알러지에는 천식, 아토피, 비염을 포함한 알러지에 관련된 유전자와 염색체 부위가 밝혀지고 있다. 하지만 이들에 대한 평가 및 확인이 제대로 진행되지 않는 상황이다. 본 연구팀은 알러지를 일으키는 유전적인 요인을 찾고자 하였다. 과학영재학교 138명을 대상으로 하였고 이들 중 약 30%가 천식, 아토피, 비염과 같은 알러지 질환을 앓고 있었다. 본 연구팀은 지금까지 보고된 연구 결과들을 토대로 알러지에 관련된 유전자를 찾았으며 그중 알러지를 일으키는데 관여하는 IL-4와 IL-4Ra를 후보 유전자로 선정하였다. 지금까지 발표된 보고들은 SNP의 발견과 그리고 하나 혹은 두개의 SNP에 초점을 맞추어 발표한 반면, 본 연구팀은 알러지와 관련하여 발표된 IL-4와 IL-4Ra의 SNP를 종합적으로 분석하고자 하였다 과학영재학교 학생들 96명을 머리카락 샘플을 확보하고 이 것으로 9개 의 SNP를 선정 하여 염기서열 분석 및 MALDI-TOF을 이용한 유전자 분석을 진행하였다. 각각의 SNP에 대해 알러지를 가지고 있는 그룹과 정상 그룹간의 약간의 차이들은 있었지만 이것이 알러지를 가지고 있는 사람과 정상인과의 구분을 시켜줄 수 있을 정도는 아니었다. 이러한 결과는 현재 한국에서 널리 행하여지고 있는 유전자 검사에 대한 재고가 필요함을 시사한다.

According to the hygiene hypothesis, westernized and urbanized life style leads to the increase of allergic disease. This hypothesis supports the use of probiotic therapy for the prevention or treatment of food allergy. The probiotics which contains potentially beneficial microorganism have been used for the treatment of some gastrointestinal disorders and atopic disease as dietary supplements. Many results of studies support the immunologic bases of probiotics therapy. The most important mechanism is that probiotics suppress Th2-skewed immunity as the stimulation of regulatory T cell. The difficulties of diagnosis of food allergy, variable symptoms, many kinds of microorganism, diet style and non-standardized study designs are attributed to the variety and controversy of the effectiveness of probiotics in food allergy with infant and children. More studies is needed to confirm the efficacy of probiotics in infant and children with food allergy.

E. N. T. Clinic에 내원하는 환자중 nasal symptoms을 호소하는 환자의 높은 비율에서 알레르기 질환이 있는 것을 느끼게 되며 특히 nasal cavity내에 오는 질환의 원인 중 알레르기가 놀라울 정도로 많은 것을 생각하면 이비인후과 영역에서의 알레르기에 대한 관심도 높다고 하겠읍니다. 일반적으로 비용증, 만성비염. 만성부비동염의 치료 방법으로는 약물요법과 수술요법을 병행하여 시행하는데 치료후 증상이 호전되다가 다시 계속적인 치료전의 증상이 재발되는 경우를 흔히 경험하게 된다. 특히 비용증 환자의 치료에서는 높은율의 재발을 경험하게 되는데 nasal symptoms을 일으키는 질환의 많은 원인이 allergy 라는데 착안하여 allegy symptoms은 호소하지 않았으나 비용증을 동반한 만성부비동염 환자에 수술 및 일반치료를 시행하였으나 얼마후 증상이 재현되어 Rinkels technique의 allergy test를 시행 하였다. 특정한 allergen에 양성을 보이지는 않았으나 일반적으로 nasal allergy의 많은 원인이 되는 House dust와 Mold groups의 allergen을 이용 (#2 ∼ #3 Solution)하여 계속적인 Desensitization을 시행함으로서 근치에 가까운 효과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이며 이러한 환자들에게 계속적인 allergy test상 양성반응을 보이지 않더라도 위의 방법을 적용하여 치료한 결과를 추후 발표드릴 것을 약속드립니다.

Food allergies affect 7~8% of infants and young children, and their prevalence appears to have increased in recent years. Food allergy refers to an abnormal immunological reaction to a specific food. These reactions can be recurrent each time the food is ingested. Food allergy manifests itself with a wide spectrum of clinical characteristics including IgE-mediated diseases as immediate reactions, non-IgE-mediated disorders as delayed reactions, and mixed hypersensitivities. As a consequence, the clinical picture of a food allergy is pleomorphic. A well-designed oral food challenge is the most reliable diagnostic test for infants and young children whose clinical history and physical examination point towards a specific food allergy. Food specific IgE antibody tests (RAST, MAST, skin prick test, Uni-CAP, etc) are an alternative tool to determine oral food challenge for IgE-mediated disorders, but not for non-IgE-mediated allergies. Moreover, parents often impose their children on unnecessary diets without adequate medical supervision. These inappropriate dietary restrictions may cause nutritional deficiencies. This review aims to introduce clinical perspectives of food allergy in infants and young children and to orient clinicians towards different strains of diagnostic approaches, dietary management, and follow-up assessment of tolerance development.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of several herbal prescriptions in patients with allergy or atopic disease, such as atopic dermatitis, asthma and allergy rhinitis and others, on the blood immunological parameters and to verify the safety of long-term use of herbal medicine. Eighty one patients with allergy or atopy disease who taken herbal medicine at least for 2 months were compared with patients who taken same medicine with no allergy & atopy disease (n=14) and normal healthy subjects (n=22). According to the comparison of immunological parameters change, the data showed that herbal medicine decreased IgE (P=0.003), Eosinophil ratio (P<0.001) and count (P<0.001) of White Blood Cell (WBC) and did not affect to the liver cell enzymes in blood. This results indicated that herbal medicine decreased immune hypersensitivity and improved chronic inflammation related to blood immunological parameters of allergy or atopy diseases. In addition, herbal medicine seemed to be safe to the liver function for long-term use.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of Kwakhyangjeonggisan (KJS) on the anti-allergic action. In the present study, we examined the effect of KJS on type I and type IV allergic reaction. KJS inhibited the systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 and platelet activating factor (PAF), and inhibited the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) induced by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP)-IgE and DNP-human serum albumin (HSA) in vivo. In addition, KJS dose-dependently inhibited the release of histamine from peritoneal mast cells in rat. Also, KJS inhibited the delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) induced by SRBC and the contact dermatitis induced by dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB). KJS inhibited the proliferation of splenocytes, the subpopulation of B220+ cells and CD4+CD8-(Th) cells in splenocytes and the production of γ-interferon in serum and splenocytes. These findings suggest that KJS prevented the type I allergy by the inhibition of histamine release from mast cells and the type IV allergy by the inhibition of γ-interferon production and B lymphocytes subpopulation. These results indicate that KJS may be useful for the prevention and treatment of type I and type IV allergy related disease.
