Introduction Chronic idiopathic urticaria in patients diagnosed with an unfavorable pattern in Soyangin and Taeumin based on Sasang medicine showed a significant improvement after herbal medicine treatment. Methods The patients had treatment with both herbal medication and antihistamine. We checked the patients' cutaneous manifestation, original symptoms, and the number of antihistamine doses in each visit. We evaluated the medical records retrospectively. Results After one month of treatment, the patients showed cutaneous manifestation relief. Each patient reduced and withdrew antihistamine at four moths and eight months respectively, and the cutaneous manifestation did not recur. We maintained the herbal medicine prescription until the origin symptoms improved. Throughout the subsequent follow-up, the patients showed both urticaria and the original symptoms in good condition without treatment. Discussion Sasang medicine treatment can be an effective treatment for chronic idiopathic urticaria and long-term management is necessary for an unfavorable pattern which can take more than 6 months.

목 적 : 만성 두드러기는 적어도 6주 이상 팽진이 지속되는 것으로 정의되며, 그 원인을 모르는 경우가 대부분이다. 본 연구에서는 소아에서의 만성 두드러기의 원인과 임상경과를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 최근 4년간 순천향대학교 부천 병원에서 치료받았던 만성 두드러기 환아 51명을 대상으로 의무기록 분석과 전화 추적을 통해 검사결과와 임상양상 및 경과를 조사하였다. 결 과 : 내원 시 연령은 중앙 나이가 4년(8개월-16세)이었고, 남아가 30명, 여아가 21명으로 남녀 비는 1.4:1이었다. 원인으로서는 원인이 밝혀지지 않은 경우가 38명(74.5%)으로 가장 많았으며, 물리적 두드러기가 10명(19.6%), 식품 첨가물이 원인인 경우가 3명(5.9%)이었다. 피부 묘기증이 22명(42.3%), 혈관부종이 6명(11.5%)에서 동반되었다. 검사실 소견상 33명 중 18명(54.5%)에서 H. pylori IgG 항체가 양성이었고, 이중 5명이 이에 대한 치료를 받았으며 모두 치료 후 호전을 보였으나 3명은 수개월 후 두드러기가 재발하였다. 36명 중 9명(25.0%)은 ANA가 양성이었다. 갑상선 자가 항체를 포함한 갑상선 검사는 모두 정상이었다. 식품 첨가물 유발 검사에서 양성을 보인 환아가 3명(글루타민산염 2명, 글루타민산염 & 아황산염 1명) 있었다. 내원 전 두드러기 지속기간은 평균 17주(6-40주)였다. 치료 후 6개월까지의 추적 관찰에서 51명 중 36명(70.6%)의 환아가 완해를 보였다. 내원 후 1년까지 46명 중 39명(84.8%)이 완해를 보였으며, 이들의 내원 후 완해까지의 기간은 평균 11주(1주-1년)였으며 총 지속기간은 24주(6주-2년)였다. 1년 이상 지속된 환아는 7명으로, 두드러기의 총 지속기간은 평균 1년 10개월(13개월 2주-3년 9개월) 이었다. 결 론 : 소아 만성 두드러기의 원인으로서는 특발성이 대부분이었고, 밝혀진 원인으로는 물리적 두드러기가 가장 많았다. 대부분에서 내원 1년 이내에 두드러기가 소실되어 소아 만성 두드러기의 예후는 양호함을 알 수 있었다. 본 대상 환자에서 H. pylori 항체 양성률과 ANA 양성률이 높게 나타나, 이들과 소아 만성 두드러기와의 관계를 규명하기 위해서는 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Fexofenadine, one of selective histamine $H_1$ receptor antagonists, has been used for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. The bioequivalence of two fexofenadine hydrochloride preparations, containing 120 mg fexofenadine hydrochloride, was evaluated according to the guidelines of Korea Food & Drug Administration(KFDA). The test product was Hanmi Fexofenadine Hydrochloride Tablet $120mg^{(R)}$ made by Hanmi Pharm. Co. and the reference product was Allegra Tablet $120mg^{(R)}$ made by Handok Parmaceuticals Co.. Twenty healthy male subjects were randomly divided into two groups and a $2{\times}2$ cross-over study was employed. After one tablet was orally administered, blood was taken at predetermined time intervals and the concentration of fexofenadine in plasma was determined using a validated HPLC method with fluorescence detector. Two pharmacokinetic parameters, $AUC_t\;and\;C_{max}$, were calculated and analyzed statistically for the evaluation of bioequivalence of the two products. Analysis of variance was carried out using logarithmically transformed parameter values. The 90% confidence intervals of $AUC_t\;and\;C_{max}$ were log $0.844{\sim}log$ 1.149 and log $0.833{\sim}log$ 1.109, respectively. These values were within the acceptable bioequivalence intervals of log 0.8 to log 1.25. Thus, the criteria of the KFDA guidelines for the bioequivalence was satisfied, indicating that Hanmi Fexofenadine Hydrochloride Tablet 120 mg is bioequivalent to Allegra Tablet 120 mg.

Fexofenadine, ($\pm$)-4-1-hydroxy-4-{4-(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)-1-piperidinyl}-butyl-a,a-dimethyl benzeneacetic acid, is a selective histamine $H_1$ receptor antagonist, and is clinically effective in the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria as a first-line therapeutic agent. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the bioequivalence of two fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets, $Allegra^{(R)}$ (Handok Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.) and Alecort (Samchundang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), according to the guidelines of the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). The release of fexofenadine from the two fexofenadine hydrochloride formulations in vitro was tested using KP VIII Apparatus II method with various dissolution media. Twenty six healthy male subjects, 25.62$\pm$3.35 years in age and 70.05$\pm$11.71 kg in body weight, were divided into two groups and a randomized 2$\times$2 cross-over study was employed. After a single tablet containing 120 mg as fexofenadine hydrochloride was orally administered, blood samples were taken at predetermined time intervals and the concentrations of fexofenadine in serum were determined using HPLC with fluorescence detector. The dissolution profiles of two formulations were similar in all tested dissolution media. The harmacokinetic parameters such as $AUC_t$, $C_{max}$ and $T_{max}$ were calculated, and ANOVA test was utilized for the statistical analysis of the parameters using logarithmically transformed $AUC_t$, $C_{max}$ and untransformed $T_{max}$. The results showed that the differences between two formulations based on the reference drug, $Allegra^{(R)}$, were -1.37, 5.22 and 16.50% for $AUC_t$, $C_{max}$ and $T_{max}$, respectively. There were no sequence effects between two formulations in these parameters. The 90% confidence intervals using logarithmically transformed data were within the acceptance range of log 0.8 to log 1.25 (e.g., log 0.83$\sim$log 1.08 and log 0.81$\sim$log 1.03 for $AUC_t$ and $C_{max}$, respectively). Thus, the criteria of the KFDA bioequivalence guideline were satisfied, indicating Alecort tablet was bioequivalent to $Allegra^{(R)}$ tablet.
