1. Objectvies This study is to examine the expected general condition change, clinical distinctive feature about using Ohgapichangchuk-Tang and Mihooteungshikchang-Tang and the range of using them based on the patient taken care by Taeyangin herb-medicines. 2. Methods We had observed 20 patients who visited Sasang Constitutional medical department in Dongguk Univ. oriental medical hospital from October 2003 to October 2006, diagnosed as Taeyangin and took Taeyangin herb-medicines more than twice. 3. Results and Conclusions 1) The chief complains of Taeyangins were 5 skin problem, 5 rhinitis, 2 digestion problem, 2 neurological problem, 3 fatigue ${\cdot}$ general weakness, 2 hand and foot hyperhidosis, 2 chest pain and discomfort, 2 genecological problem, 1 halitosis. Ohgapichangchuk-Tang was used for 4 rhinitis, 2 atopy, 1 fatigue, 1 halitosis. Mihooteungshikchang-Tang was used for 3 skin problem, 2 digestion problem, 2 neurological problem like dizziness or dysphagia ${\cdot}$ dysarthria, 2 hand and foot hyperhidosis, 2 chest pain and discomfort and 2 genecological problem. 2) The meaningful part after using Ohgapichangchuk-Tang and Mihooteungshikchang-Tang is 'dyspepsia', 'insomnia', 'dyspnea', 'dry skin' and 'sialosis'. It is necessary to check the general symptom. 3) Taeyangin used to have hard stool and not to sweat. 4) Ohgapichangchuk-Tang seemed to be used when there is digestion problem comparing with Mihooteungshikchang-Tang however it is not significant differences. 5) We require further examination to study Taeyangin's prescriptions.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the synergistic effect of herb medicines with hydrocortisone and the regulation effect on the immune system of Onbitang and Dangguijakyaksan at the supernatant of PHA-P stimulated PBMC in the patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome(MCNS). From the measurement of the concentration rate of IL-4, sCD23 and IL-13, the experiment yielded the following results : The Onbitang group showed a greater tendency to suppress IL-4 and IL-13 levels in MCNS group with no statistical significance. It showed very strong suppression in soluble CD23 compared with control group in MCNS group. The Dangguijakyaksan group, though not statistically significant, was inclined to suppress IL-4 level in MCNS group. It shows stronger suppression in sCD23 and IL-13 levels than these of control group in MCNS group. As for the synergistic effect, the group of hydrocortisone with herb medicines(Onbitang or Danguijakyaksan) produced more suppressive effect to IL-13 level in MCNS group than that of hydrocortisone-only group. They also tended to suppress sCD23 and IL-4 levels, though no statistical significance can be given. As to the suppressive effect of 1L-13 level, the group of Onbitang with hydrocortisone showed an increase of 22.6%, while the group of Dangguijakyaksan with hydrocortisone showed 14.7%. So Onbitang is more effective than Dangguijakyaksan. From the above results, a combinative treatment(herb medicines with hydrocortisone) can be an alternative method to substitute for steroid therapy. It can be a more effective therapy than steroid-only therapy because it is expected to reduce side effects and it shows more special effect to suppress IL-13 level. Based on the present results, further investigation concerning the serum IgE elevation is needed.

In recent years, the combined use of Herbal medicines and Western drugs has been increasing. Though certain problems may occur when both types of medicines are taken together, they havenot been adequately analyzed. It was reported that anticoagulation was enhanced in addition tobleeding when patients took long-term warfarin therapy in combination with Salvia miltiorrhiza(danshen), and laxative herbs accelerate intestinal transit and interfere with the absorption. Herbal constituents, curcumin, ginsenosides, piperine, catechins and silymarin were found to beinhibitors of P-glycoprotein. St John's wort induces the intestinal expression of P-glycoprotein. Anthraquinone, quercetin and coumarins were found to be a potent inhibitor of P-450. Glycyrrhizin or liquorice extracts, Garlic and St John's wort are a potent inducer of CYP3A4. This review provides a critical overview of interactions between herbal medicines and other drugs. Hence, it is necessary to study the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic interactions of many herbal medicines between western drugs.

화장품은 일반인이 장기간 연용하는 제품으로 인체 피부에 대한 안전성이 매우 중요하다. 화장품에 의한 접촉피부염은 자극성 물질이 피부에 접촉 후 침투하여 유발하는 염증반응으로 활성화된 면역세포에서 염증을 매개하는 다양한 인자를 분비함으로써 시작된다. 본 연구에서는 국산 생약 추출물을 이용하여 RAW264.7 대식 세포에서 염증 관련 인자에 대한 영향을 통해 항염증 활성을 스크리닝 하였다. 51종의 국산 생약 추출물 중 측백, 측백엽(초), 향부자, 형개, 동과자, 산약, 산약(초), 상지, 송절, 택사의 에탄올 추출물 10종이 lipopolysaccharide(LPS)에 의해 유도된 세포독성을 감소시킴과 동시에 염증 관련 인자인 Nitric oxide (NO), interleukin (IL)-1${\beta}$, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$의 생성을 억제하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 이들 생약 추출물은 인체피부에서도 자극을 유발하지 않음을 인체 첩포시험을 통해 검증하였다. 따라서, 항염증 활성이 확인된 10종 국산 생약 추출물은 피부 자극을 예방할 수 있는 화장품 소재로서의 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

국산 한약재를 이용하여 식품학적 품질 및 기능성이 증진된 전통된장을 개발할 목적으로 여러 종류의 국산 한약재를I∼IV군으로 조합하여 121$^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 추출물을 제조한 다음, 담금용 염수에 여러 농도로 첨가한 후 3개월 동안 자연발효시킨 한방 콩된장의 품질특성을 조사하였다. 한약재 첨가 된장의 일반성분 분석에서 대조구는 수분 61.9%, pH 5.50, 총산도 3.25 ml, 염도 12.6%를 나타내었으나 시험구는 수분 58.2% ∼61.9%, pH 5.32∼5.56, 총산도 3.07∼3.70 ml, 염도 11.7∼13.9%범위로 거의 비슷한 값을 나타내었으며, 환원당, 조단백, 조지방 및 아미노태 질소함량은 대조구보다 약간 높게 나타났다. 지용성 갈변도는 대조구와 큰 차이가 없었지만, 수용성 갈변도는 I군과 II군은 III군과 IV군에서 매우 높은 경향이었다. 한약재 첨가 된장의 색도 측정에서 명도(L)는 대조구 된장(31.72)에 비하여 I군과 II군의 된장이 낮은 수치(24.32∼27.71)를 나타내어 된장의 색깔이 검은 색을 띄었다. 적색도(a)는 제 I군을 제외한 나머지 된장에서는 대조구보다 약간 낮은 값을 나타내었으며, 황색도(b)는 III군과 IV군의 경우 대조구 된장과 비슷하였으나 I군과 II군은 낮게 나타났다.

Research on pesticide residues as endocrine disruptors in natural medicines was initiated by Korea Food & Drug Administration this year. We determined the presence and levels of certain pesticides in selected natural medicines. The natural medicines collected this year are Glycyrrhiza Root, Cinnamon Bark, Pueraria Root, Polygonatum Rhizome, Jujube, Schizandra Fruit, Lycium Fruit, Liriope Tuber, Eucommia Bark, Peony Root, Korean Angelica, Dioscorea Rhizome, Cnidium Rhizome, Cassia Seed, Platycodon Root, Comus Fruit, Mentha Herb, Epimedium Herb, Bupleurum Root, and Ginger, which have no data for pesticide residues and 192 samples of them were circulated in Korea, 28 samples were circulated in China. In order to analyze many pesticides in large number of samples we used simultaneous multi-residue analysis of pesticides by GC-ECD, which was followed by GC-MSD analysis to confirm the identity of the detected pesticide in each sample.
