To compare the medical efficacy of original Socheongyong-tang with fermented Socheongyong-tang, we've studied the two medicines according to the search for optimal bacteria and optimal conditions, component analysis, assessment of medical efficacy and toxicity, and have the result below. The results were obtained as follows: Considering bacterial growth, $CO_2$ gas emission and pH, we examined that using 3 kinds of bacteria(S. cerevisiae KCTC 7913, L. casei KCTC 3109, L. brevis KCTC 3102) is desirable. There is no main difference in optimum conditions between incubator and shaking incubator. And it is considered that ideal fermentation time is 2 days after vaccination. As the result of componential analysis of before and after fermentation, there's a noticeable decrease of total sugar and protein. But there's no alterations in total phenolics compounds and in total flavonoid compounds that influence on medical effect. The result was interpreted that it can promote the assimilation of herbal decoction after fermentation. As the result of medical efficacy assessment, we can check out that there is more anti-oxidating effects in fermented Socheongyong-tang, whereas anti-inflammatory effects and obesity-preventing effects were favorable in original Socheongyong-tang. And there is no main difference of whitening and COX-2 removing effects between before and after the fermentation. As a result of assessing weight change, hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, we can not notice any unusual difference between before and after the fermentation. According to the results above, it is considered that we checked out the optimal bacteria and optimal conditions, advantages and disadvantages of the medical efficacy of original Socheongyong-tang and fermented Socheongyong-tang. And we suggest that there will have to be a following in-depth and systematic research on this subject in the future.

Background : Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa which is characterized by sneezing, coughing itchy nose, mouth and throat, congestion and/or nasal discharge. Object : We have studied effects of the Okbyeongpung-san plus Socheongryong-tang on the change of the amounts of IL-4, II-5, $IFN-{\gamma}$ and total IgE in rats OVA-induced allergic rhinitis. Method : The 15 rats were divided into three groups ; normal group, control group, and sample group. To induce allergic rhinitis in control group and sample group , rats were sensitized intraperitoneally with 0.1% ovalbumin(OVA) solution 3 times at intervals of 1 week. Then intranasal sensitization was performed by diffusing 0.1% ovalbumin(OVA) solution 3 times at intervals of 2 days. After that time, rats in the sample group were oral administration treated by Okbyeongpung-san plus Socheongryong-tang 28 days. We observed the change of the amounts of IL-4, II-5, $IFN-{\gamma}$ and total IgE in rats in each grout. Result : 1. In Total IgE study, the treated group was proved significant inhibitory effect(p<0.05) 2. In Interleukin-4(IL-4) study, the treated group was proved significant inhibitory effect(p<0.001> 3. In IL-5 study, the treated group was proved significant inhibitory effect(p<0.001> 4. In Interferone-${\gamma}(IFN-{\gamma})$ study, the treated group was proved significant inhibitory effect(p<0.005) Conclusion : According to the above results, it is considered that the Okbyeongpung-san flus Socheongyong-tang has inhibitory effects on the allergic rhinitis of rats.
