  • Psoriasis is the recurrent disease of skin and till now its mechanism, pathogenesis and treatment are not clearly discovered. So, like these papers, we must investigate more safety and effective treatment of psoriasis. And I obtained the following condusions from the Oriental and Occidental bibliographic investigation. 1. In Oriental medicine. Baikbi, Pungsun, Eunselbyong, Songpisun, Baikselpung were the other names of Psoriasis. 2. In Occidental medicine, genetic factors, aggravation and inducible factors, biochemical factors, immunologic factors, disorder of epidermal kinetics, vascular malformation of dermis were cosidered to the pathogenic factors of psoriasis. 3. In Oriental medicine, the pathogenic factors of psoriasis were divided two parts. One is exogenous pathogenic factors which including the blood-heat, blood dryness, blood stasis, deficiency of liver and kidney, inharmony of impulsive and appointed pulsation, deficiency of blood. The other is exogenous pathogenic factors which including the wind-evil, wind-wetness, wind-heat, wind-cold, wetness-heat, cold-wetness, heat-evil. 4. In Occidental medicine, external applicative medicine, internal medicine, ultraviolet therapy, ultraviolet - external applicative medicine compound therapy and etc. were used the therapy of psoriasis. 5. In Oriental medicine, clean away heat and cooling blood, aliment the blood and moisturize, activating blood and expelling blood stasis, harmonize and invigorate the liver and kidney, invigorate the kidney, aliment the blood and moisturize the skin, aliment the blood and expelling the wind, expelling the wind and wetness, clean away heat and expelling wind, expelling the wind and scatter the cold, clean away heat and expelling the wetness, heat up the meridian and scatter the cold, clean away heat and remove the toxin and etc. were used the method of internal therapy of psoriasis. 6. Until Qing dynasty, wind expelling effective prescriptions like Bangpungtongsungsan, Sopungsan. Supungsunkisan and etc. were used and recently Yanghyelgeupungtang, Hwalhyelgeupungtang, Samultanggagam and etc. were used the internal therapy of psoriasis. 7. In the external therapy of psoriasis, Yuhonggo, Pungyugo, Sekryupiyeongo were used the plaster therapy and Folium Rerillae, Camphora, Fructus, Xanthii, Herba Spirodelae compound prescription were used the cleansing therapy, Okgisan, Chiunsan, Galmyogo, Hobunsan, Muisan, Madugo, Jeyugohengin were used the rubbing skin therapy. Rangdok Radix Aconiti, Bijeonilchoalkwang were used the attaching therapy, the extract of Rhizoma Et Radix Veratri was used the spreading pouder therapy. 8. In the acupuncture therapy of psoriasis, the Jelgol, chok Samni(S36), Kansa(P5), Haegye(S41), Wijung(B40) and etc. were used the acupuncture point, and the angle of helix incision threapy that disinfect and cut the angle of helix and plaster the Semen Glycine and Squama Manitis were used.

  • The results of a literature study about the comparison of Oriental-Occidental medicine on the Atopic dennatitis were as follows. 1. In Oriental medicine, Atopic dermatitis belongs to the category of the Naesun(내선), Taeryumchang(胎斂瘡), Eczema(濕疹), Chimumchang(浸淫瘡). In Occidental medicine, the other names of Atopic dermatitis are allergic eczema, IgE dermatitis, flexual eczema etc. 2. In Oriental medicine, the definition of atopic dermatitis includes chang(瘡), sun(선), and pung(風). Occidental medicine, is one of the intrinsic eczema classifications. In fact eczema term circumscribes dermatitis in atopic patients. 3. In Oriental medicine, the etiology and pathogenesis of Atopic dermatitis arose from the state of cogenital defect(稟賦不足), internal accumulation of damp and heat(濕熱內蘊) at first, and then invaded pathogenic wind, damp, heat factors again, and combined endo-exoteric pathogenic factors. So it appears in skin. In Occidental medicine, the etiology and pathogenesis of Atopic dermatitis approaches in genetic, allergic and immunologic, pharmacophysioloic aspects. It is only a hypothesis but there is no known facts about radical aetiology. 4. In Oriental medicine, differentiation of syndromes classifies manifestation aspects, etiology and pathogenesis, and invasion period. In Occidental medicine, it divides into an invasion period, and clinical aspect etc. 5. In Oriental medicine, Internal theraphys of Atopic dermatitis are decoction of ingredients(湯劑), pills(丸), and tablet(片). So, it prescribes as treatments on the ground of differentition of syndrome. In Occidental medicine, there is no radical therapy because Atopic dispositions don't change. But steroid, antihistamine as symptomatic tre atments are generally used in Occidental medicine. 6. In Oriental medicine, external therapies are wet dressings(濕敷), lotion(洗劑), powder(散劑), adhesive plasters(膏劑), oil(油劑), smoking(烟薰法), warm over fire therapy(熱烘療法), acupunture and moxibustion therapy(鍼灸療法).

  • In human IVF-ET, the development and morphology of the embryo have been known to affect implantation and pregnancy rates(PRs). Recently, pregnancy has been reported to related to the embryos with thick zona-pellucida, high levels of fragmentation, poor blastomere development and zona hardening. Although the mechanism of implantation is unclear, it is thought that the hatching process precedes implantation and that the hatching is related to implantation and PRs. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of assisted hatching(AHA) on the improvement of PRs in human IVF-ET. The results were as follows; 1. The PRs of the AHA group (40.8%) was significantly higher than that of control group(27.2%)(P<0.01). 2. According to the age of patients, the PRs of control and AHA groups were 33.9%(20/59), 44,4%(12/27) in <30 yrs, 26.1%(30/115), 38.3%(18/47) in 31-35 yrs, 22.4%(13/58), 41.4%(12/29) in >36 yrs, respectively. 3. According to the factors of infertility in AHA group, unexplained(immunologic factor) (40.0%) and male factors(41.9%) were higher than female(tubal obstruction, endometriosis, adhesion) factor (28.9%). As a result, it is suggested that AHA technique improve the PRs in poor prognosis patients. It is concluded that AHA method can be used to improve the PRs in human lVF-ET.

  • Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a complex etiology that encompasses immunologic responses. AD is frequently associated with elevated immunoglobulin (Ig) E levels, and common environmental factors contribute to its pathogenesis. Several recent studies have documented the role of specific lactic acid bacteria in the treatment and prevention of AD in humans and mice. In this study, the efficacy of Duolac ATP, a probiotic preparation, was determined in a mouse model with AD-like skin lesions. Alterations in the cytokine levels and histological staining suggested the alleviation of AD. The in vivo test showed that T helper (Th)2 cytokines, IgE, interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-5, were significantly downregulated, whereas Th1 cytokines, IL-12p40 and interferon (IFN)-${\gamma}$, were upregulated in all groups of mice treated with Duolac ATP compared to that observed in the group of mice treated with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB) alone. Moreover, the scratch score decreased in all mice treated with Duolac ATP. Staining of the dorsal area of the mice in each group with hematoxylin and eosin and toluidine blue further confirmed the alleviation of AD in mice orally treated with Duolac ATP. These results suggest that Duolac ATP inhibits the development of AD-like skin lesions in NC/Nga mice by suppressing the Th2 cell response and increasing the Th1 cell response. Thus, Duolac ATP is beneficial and effective for the treatment of AD-like skin lesions.

  • Etiologic classification was performed in 155 patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion history. The incidence was 9.3% among 1658 pregnant women at Hanyang university hospital during the same period. In etiologic classification, 37 cases of on-going patients for diagnostic evaluation were excluded. Of the remained 118 patients, the patients with unknown etiology were 32 cases (27.1%), and 86 cases were classified into each etiologies using appropriate diagnostic modalities. Anatomic causes were the largest etiology, which revealed 46.6% (55 among 118 patients). The next etiology was immunologic cause, which revealed 24.6% (29 patients). Of the 86 patients who have at least one cause, 40.7% (35 among 86) have two or more etiologies. Furthermore, six cases (7%) have 3 combined etiologies. The uterine synechia and/or incompetent internal os of the cervix, namaly anatomic causes, revealed highest combination ratio than other etilogies. The popular abortion technique in Korea, D&C, seems to be main factors for these anatmic causes. The combined causes rather than single cause of recurrent spontaneous abortion were unique situation in Korea especially with anatomic etiologies. From this point of view, we think anatomic etiologies should be rule out first in the evaluation of the patients. For this purpose, we believe hysteroscopy would be helpful as a diagnostic work-up and treatment modality in the management of recurrent spontaneous abortion patients in Korea.

  • Macrophages play an important role in the first line of immunologic effects against tumor cells. The effects of nonsaponin red ginseng (NSRG) components on macrophage functions like tumoricidal activity, phagocytic activity, and NO production in young (8-weeks-old) and aged (82-weeks-old) male C57BL/6 mice were assessed in vitro, respectively. The treatment of tumor cells (melanoma B16 cells) with the supernatants of NSRG-treated macrophages resulted in an increase of cytotoxicity at 300 $\mu$g/ml in the aged mice, whereas the supernatants did not have a cytotoxic effect in the young mice. It was observed that the supernatants induced the increase of tumor cell proliferation at 150 $\mu$g/ml in the young mice, suggesting that the supernatants contain growth factors rather than cytotoxic molecules. In addition, NSRG alone had a direct cytotoxic effect on the B16 tumor cells. NSRG had no effect on the NO production by the macrophages in the young mice, while it significantly increased the level of NO release in the aged mice. There was no difference in the phagocytic activities of the macrophages by NSRG in both groups of mice. These results suggest that NSRG has differential effects on the macrophage functions in young and aged mice.

  • Background and Objectives: Because of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck undergoes a generally poor hospital course, the prognostic significance of the squamous cell carcinomas in head and neck have been evaluated to identify those features associated with aggressive biologic behavior according to the immunologic and histopathologic characteristics. Materials and Method: To assess the significance of EGFR, c-erbB-2, p21 and p53 protein in head and neck tumors and their correlation with prognostic factors, samples from 74 patients with squamous cell carcinomas of larynx, pharynx, and oral cavity were studied immunohistochemically. Results: EGFR, c-erbB-2, p21, and p53 protein were expressed 94.6%, 24.3%, 85.1%, and 55.4% in 74 cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, respectively. The positive expression of EGFR was associated significantly with clinical stage and the negative expressions of p21 was associated significantly with histopathologic differentiation. There were no significant relationships between the reactivity of EGFR, c-erbB-2, p21, and p53 protein. Conclusion: The expression of EGFR, c-erbB-2, p21 and p53 protein could be related to oncogenesis, and the expression of p21 and EGFR protein can be used as a prognosticator in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma under certain limitations, but c-erbB-2 and p53 protein expression alone is not enough for evaluating prognosis of the carcinoma.

  • This study demonstrated that xenogenic human marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) could elicit the regeneration of the sensory nerve after axotomy in the adult rats infraorbital nerves without immunosuppression. For this, we evaluated the behavioral testing for functional recovery of the nerve and histological findings at weeks 3 and 5 compared to controls. Xenogenic hMSCs did not evoke any significant inflammatory or immunologic reaction after systemic and local administrations. HMSCs-treated rats exhibited significant improvement on sensory recovery tested with von Frey monofilaments. At 5 postoperative weeks, in the hMSCs treated nerve, expression of myelin basic protein (MBP), neurofilament (NF) at the site of axotomy was higher than control. And mRNA expression of neurotropin receptor Trk precursor (TrkPre), nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) and neuropeptide (NPY) in trigeminal ganglion were also higher. The number of myelinated nerve at distal stump and cells in trigeminal ganglion were higher in hMSC treated rats. So it was supposed that transplanted MSCs contributed to reducing post-traumatic degeneration and production of neurotrophic factors. Immunofluorescence labeling showed small portion of hMSCs (<10%) expressed a phenotypic marker of Schwann cell (S-100). Xenogenic or allogenic mesenchymal stem cells might have immune privileged characteristics and useful tool for cell based nerve repair.

  • The oriental medicine based on the traditional Chinese medicine has developed characteristically according to the history and racial character respectively; China, Korea and Japan. Japan, among these nations, has accepted western medicine earlier than other nations and has tried to compare western and oriental medicine and combine them. In Japanese traditional medicine, it is characteristic that the old medical classics focusing on Sanghannon (傷寒論) and Geumgyeyoryak(金?要略) has developed The recent tendencies of clinical medicine and researches in Korean oriental medicine are mostly about the study of oriental medicine in view of western medicine and the combination of western and oriental medical treatment like Japan. But the study on the Japanese oriental medicine hasn't so far been tried before in Korea. From now on, we should not overlook that a more interest on Japanese oriental medicine will be very useful. Therefore we have surveyed the background of its origin and the process of development of the theory of ${\ulcorner}$Qi, Blood and Body Fluids${\lrcorner}$. What we wish to show in this paper is to provide a source for the basic understanding by explaining a fundamental theory of physiology and pathology of Japanese oriental medicine. Concepts of ${\ulcorner}$Qi, Blood and Body Fluids${\lrcorner}$ suggested by Nangai Yoshimashi in 1792 is the way of thinking that the circulation of 3 factors- ${\ulcorner}$Qi, Blood and Body Fluids${\lrcorner}$ nourish human body. Among these 3 factors, if Qi does not function smoothly, it causes the condition of a disease like Qi-deficiency, imbalance of Qi-distribution or Qi-depression and stasis; in Blood's case, deficiency of Blood and Blood stasis; and as for Body Fluids, stasis of Body Fluids. In the recent trend of study, there's a try to combining the western and oriental medicine, Qi is considered as psychoneurotic system, Blood as circulatory and endocrinologic system and Body Fluids as immunologic system.
