Objectives : In this study, we aimed to analyze the latest knowledge of pityriasis rosea(PR) through oriental-western medical review on PR. Methods : We searched Pubmed, CNKI, and OASIS to select papers related to the cause, mechanism, diagnosis, classification, treatment, and herbal treatment of PR. Results : The results are as follows. 1. Although the exact cause of PR is not known, it has recently been found that reactivation of latent human herpesvirus-6 and human herpesvirus-7 infection is a possible etiology. Most patients require emollients, antihistamines, topical steroids, and macrolides. Acyclovir, and narrow-band UVB therapy are also used. 2. The cause and mechanism of PR in Chinese and Korean medicine can be mainly summarized as wind-heat, blood heat, and blood deficiency and wind-dryness. Most of the herbal medicine used have the effects of clearing heat, cooling the blood, detoxifying, dispelling wind, relieving itching, nourishing blood, and moistening dryness. Conclusions : In Chinese and Korean medicine, it is necessary to organize the representative prescriptions according to pattern identification, and it is also necessary to study the atypical types of PR and its treatment methods. It is thought that research on oriental and western combination therapy should be continuously conducted, and efforts to develop Korean medicine formulations are needed to revitalize clinical research in Korea.

Eczema is a general term for skin diseases showing itching, vessiculopapular eruption, and erythema when acute, or lichenification and scale if chronic. It is classified as irritant dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, neurodermatitis, nummular eczema, statis dermatitis, infective dermatitis, xerotic eczema, and pompholyx by afflicted regions and symptoms. Therapy for eczema is allopathic, and includes application of ice- pack to erythema, and application of emollients and steroids to the affected parts during subacute or chronic stages. Eczema is understood as ulceration(瘡), tinea(癬), wind syndrome(風證), and dryness syndrome(燥證) in terms of oriental medicine. Xerotic eczema is understood in dryness syndrome. Nourishing blood(養血) therapy is used. This is a case study on which xerotic eczema occurred on a patient's afflicted left palm and fingers after stroke. The patient's xerotic eczema was attributed to dryness syndrome. Therefore, Samul-tang(四物湯) and Saenghyeoryunbu-eum(生血潤膚飮) were used for nourishing blood. This therapy was effective on eczema and accompanying symptoms such as dizziness and numbness of the left hand.

This study described about method that form liquid crystal gel (LCG) by main ingredient with hydrogenated lechin (HL) in OW emulsion system. Result of stability test is as following with most suitable LCG's composition. Composition of LCG is as following. To form liquid crystal, an emulsifier used $4.0\;wt\%$ of cetostearyl alcohol (CA) by $4.0\;wt\%$ of HL as a booster, Moisturizers contained $2\;wt\%$ of glycerin and $3.0\;wt\%$ of 1.3-butylene glycol (1,3-BG). Suitable emollients used $3.0\;wt\%$ of cyclomethicone, $3.0\;wt\%$ of isononyl isononanoate (ININ), $3.0\;wt\%$ of cerpric/carprylic triglycerides (CCTG), $3.0\;wt\%$ of macademia nut oil (MNO) in liquid crystal gel formation. On optimum conditions of LCG formation, the pHs were formed all well under acidity or alkalinity conditions. Considering safety of skin, PH was the most suitable $\pm61.0$ ranges. The stable hardness of LCG formation appeared best in $32\;dyne/cm^2.$ Particle of LCG is forming size of $1{\~}20\;{\mu}m$ um range, and confirmed that the most excellent LCG is formed in $1{\~}6\;{\mu}m$ range. According to result that observe shape of LCG with optical or polarization microscope, LCG could was formed, and confirmed that is forming multi-layer lamellar type structure around the LCG. Moisturizing effect measured clinical test about 20 volunteers. As a result, moisturizing effect of LCG compares to placebo cream was increased $30.6\%$. This could predicted that polyol group is appeared the actual state because is adsorbed much to round liquid crystal droplets to multi-lamellar layer's hydrophilic group. It could predicted that polyol group is vast quantity present phase that appear mixed because is adsorbed to round liquid crystal to multi-lamellar layer's hydrophilic group. This LCG formation theory may contribute greatly in cosmetics and pharmacy industry development.

이 연구는 O/W 에멀젼에서 주성분으로 수소첨가 레시친(이하 HL)을 사용한 액정젤(이하 LCG)을 형성하는 방법에 대하여 기술하였다. 가장 적절한 LCG의 조성에 대한 안정성 시험과는 다음과 같다. 액정을 형성하기 위하여 사용된 조성은 다음과 같다. 유화제로 4.0wt%의 HL과 부스터로 4.0wt%의 세토스테아릴알코올(CA)를 사용하였다. 액정 젤의 형성에 보습제는 글리세린 2.0wt%, 1,3-부틸렌글리콜(1,3-BG) 3.0wt%, 에몰리엔트는 사이크로메치몬 4.0wt%, 이소노닐이소노나노에이트(ININ) 3.0wt%, 카프릭카프릴릭트리글리세라이드(CCTG) 3.0wt%, 마카데미아넛오일(MNO) 3.0wt%을 사용하였다. 최적의 LCG의 형성조건은 pH=4.0-11.0 범위에서 잘 형성되었으며, 피부안전성을 고려하여 6.0$\pm$1.0 범위로 설정하였다. 가장 안정한 경도는 32dyne/$\textrm{cm}^2$이었다. LCG으 입자크기는 1-20$\mu\textrm{m}$ 범위이었으며, 가장 잘 형성되는 입자 크기는 1-6$\mu\textrm{m}$에서 가장 잘 형성되었다. 편광현미경을 통하여 액정의 형성 및 모양을 관찰하였으며, 액정의 둘레 주위에 다중라멜라 구조가 형성되는 것을 확인하였다. 피검자 20명을 대상으로 하여 피부보습효과를 임상측정한 결과 placebo크림에 비하여 36.6%가 증가하였다. 그 이유는 액정의 주위의 친수그룹이 폴리올들을 많이 흡수하고 있기 때문이라고 예측하였다. 이 LEG형성 이론을 근거로 하여 의약 및 화장품 산업에 크게 응용될 것으로 기대한다.
