Proton treatment may deliver a larger dose to a patient's skin than traditional photon therapy, especially when a range shifter (RS) is inserted in the beam path. This study investigated the effects of an RS on skin dose while considering RS with different thicknesses, airgaps and materials. First, the physical model of the scanning nozzle with RS was established in the TOol for PArticle Simulation (TOPAS) code, and the effects of the RS on the skin dose were studied. Second, the variations in the skin dose and isocenter beam size were examined by reducing the air gap. Finally, the effects of different RS materials, such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), Lexan, polyethylene and polystyrene, on the skin dose were analysed. The results demonstrated that the current RS design had a negligible effect on the skin dose, whereas the RS significantly impacted the isocenter beam size. The skin dose was increased considerably when the RS was placed close to the phantom. Moreover, the magnitude of the increase was related to the thickness of the inserted RS. Meanwhile, the results also revealed that the secondary proton primarily contributed to the increased skin dose.

Proper skin care promotes good metabolism and the biological activity of skin, helps maintain the skin in a healthy and beautiful state when combined with nutritional nourishment. Health functional foods are being used for the purpose of enhancing efficient skin care. Health functional foods related to skin care maintain the epidermis, dermal fibroblast layer and subcutaneous tissue that form the skin. Efficient functional foods alleviate the signs of endogenous aging that come with getting older and exogenous aging caused by sunlight. Even though the field of skin care related to health functional foods has received less attention and been the subject of less research compared to functional cosmetics which are developing widely, this area of skin care that maintains and improves the layer of dermal fibroblast through the intake of food, is expected to progress with the commercialization of products in many fields when the related technical research development is galvanized and the related patents are applied for. Research into health functional foods related to skin care in Korea started rather late in comparison to other advanced countries where patents for relevant techniques have been applied for since 1990's together with research conducted on how they might be used for practical purposes. This study used the key words 'skin care, health functional food' to search for Korean patents that have been applied for at the Korean Intellectual Property Office from 1983 to 2011 using the KIPRIS database, in order to help researchers in the related fields by organizing the patented formulas for health functional foods for skin care which have gained attention recently. According to the number of registrations in each industry field, the total number of patents was 1,120 we screened the major patents among them, the field with the largest number was food foodstuff non-alcoholic beverage and preparation or treatment(A23L) with 135, then natural plant medicine & medical supplies and cosmetics(A61K) with 112, microorganisms or enzymes(C12N) with 63, heterocyclic compounds(C07D) with 44, horticulture or cultivation of sea weeds, forestry(A01G) 16 times, listed from the highest to the lowest number of applications. It has been revealed that food, foodstuff, non-alcoholic beverage and preparation or treatment(A23L) was the industry field where the most patents for health functional foods related to skin care were registered.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Miso facial acupuncture on facial reduction and improvement of skin condition. Methods : From March to May 2012, 20 women in their twenties to forties with no facial diseases were recruited. Miso facial acupuncture was performed on the both side of their face twice a week, total seven times. The 3D face photographs of each participant were checked 5 times ; before treatment, after 1st treatment, 4th treatment, 7th treatment and 10 days from the last treatment using RS-400FL(Morpheus Co. Korea) and REAL FACE. The surface distances of the 4 lines on the face were measured using Renai MEF program. The improvement of skin condition was evaluated by water content, trans epidermal water loss(TEWL), erythema index and melanin index using MPA 5. They were checked 4 times ; before treatment, 4th treatment, 7th treatment and after 10 days from the last treatment. We analyzed data using Paired t-test(p<0.05) and Wilcoxon signed rank test(p<0.05). Results : One case was dropped out due to pain and edema after 4th treatment. The surface distances of the 4 lines on face were significantly reduced and maintained after 10 days from last treatment. Water content was significantly increased and maintained after 10 days from last treatment. TEWL was significantly decreased. Erythema index was significantly decreased from the 3rd evaluations. Melanin index was slight decreased with no significance at the 2nd evaluations. Conclusions : These results show that Miso facial acupuncture can reduce sizes of the face and improve skin condition such as water content, TEWL and erythema index except melanin index.

Topical preparations such as cream for Acyclovir(ACV), a potent anti-viral agent for the treatment of herpes simplex and herpes zoster, have been marketed in the world since 1993. However, the skin penetration rate of ACV from generic cream formulations sold in Europe has been found to be lower than the original $Zovirax^{\circledR}$ cream. In this study, we formulated ACV into a novel organogel system and compared the skin penetration characteristics with $Zovirax^{\circledR}$ cream. The rate and amount of skin penetration of ACV from the organogels were 6.3-fold greater than those obtained with $Zovirax^{\circledR}$ at an ACV concentration of 5%. The solubilizing effect of oil phase and anti-nucleation effect exhibited by sodium alginate contained in water phase are most likely attributed to enhanced ACV skin penetration property.

This clinical research was conducted to test patients with Atopic Dermatitis by external application with Hwangryeonhaedok-Tang in cosmetics. We gave scores to 31 patients who visited the Dept. of Oriental Medical Opthalmology & Otolaryngology & Dermatology of Semyung University Jecheon Oriental Medical Hospital from May 15th, 2008 to June 26th. Fifteen patients were treated with the ointment that contain Hwangryeonhaedok-Tang (experimental group) and sixteen patients were treated with normal ointment that doesn't have Hwangryeonhaedok-Tang (control group) for 4 weeks. We observed change of total IgE, eosinophil count, Skin Temperature, Transepidermal Water Loss(TEWL), Skin Hydration and Skin pH. Also Clinical Index of Atopic Dermatitis(SCORAD Index) and global assesment of efficacy were used to evaluate the effects of Hwangryeonhaedok-Tang. Statistical analysis was performed by using frequency analysis and descriptive analysis. Statistical significance was achieved if the probability was less than 5%(p<0.05). After 4 weeks of external application treatment, SCORAD Index in experimental group was significant statistically decreased compared with control group. After 4 weeks of external application treatment, total IgE of both groups were decreased and eosinophil count in control group was decreased but experimental group was unstatistically decreased. Unstatistically, both groups didn't showed significant effect on Skin Temperature. Transepidermal Water Loss(TEWL) in both groups were increased but experimental group was significant decreased compared with control group. Skin Hydration in experimental group was significant statistically increased compared with control group. Statistically, both groups didn't showed significant effect on Skin pH. Only experimental group showed little increase. After 4 weeks of external application treatment, experimental group showed significant effect on global assesment of efficacy. Considering the above results, we can speculate that cosmetics with Hwangryeonhaedok-Tang has some therapeutical effects in mitigating the symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis.

다이오드 측정기(diode)와 유리 선량계(glass dosimeter)를 이용하여 체표면 선량측정을 시행하고 실제 방사선조사 영역에 조사되는 방사선량을 치료계획 시스템에서 계산된 방사선량과 비교하여 유리 선량계를 체표면 측정기로 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 유방암 치료로 방사선을 조사받는 환자 27명을 대상으로 다이오드 측정기와 유리 선량계를 같은 부위에 부착하여 각각의 위치에서 조사되는 방사선량을 측정하였다. 여기서 사용된 유리 선량계는 총 40개 중 재현성이 3% 이내인 28개의 소자만을 사용하였다. 환자의 치료 셋업 위치에 따라 네 부위에 각각 선량계를 부착하여 각 위치에서의 선량값을 측정하였다. 연구에 참여한 27명의 환자 모두에 대하여 180 cGy/fraction의 방사선을 조사하였다. 이때 같은 부위에 부착한 두 측정기가 나타내는 선량값의 차이는 최대 3.2%였으며, 치료계획 된 선량값과 비교했을 때 다이오드 측정기의 경우 평균 2.3%의 차이를 보였으며, 유리선량계의 경우 평균 3.4%의 차이를 나타내었다. 이로써 유리 선량계는 체표면 측정기로 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 보였다. 치료계획에서 계산된 선량값에 비해 두 종류 측정기로 측정한 선량값이 모두 적은 값을 나타내었으나, 이는 각각의 선량계가 가지고 있는 특성 오차의 영향과 선량계를 부착한 부위가 고정되기 쉽지 않고 움직이기 쉬운 부분이라는 신체적 특성의 영향에 따른 차이라 생각된다.
