The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of Kwakhyangjeonggisan (KJS) on the anti-allergic action. In the present study, we examined the effect of KJS on type I and type IV allergic reaction. KJS inhibited the systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 and platelet activating factor (PAF), and inhibited the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) induced by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP)-IgE and DNP-human serum albumin (HSA) in vivo. In addition, KJS dose-dependently inhibited the release of histamine from peritoneal mast cells in rat. Also, KJS inhibited the delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) induced by SRBC and the contact dermatitis induced by dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB). KJS inhibited the proliferation of splenocytes, the subpopulation of B220+ cells and CD4+CD8-(Th) cells in splenocytes and the production of γ-interferon in serum and splenocytes. These findings suggest that KJS prevented the type I allergy by the inhibition of histamine release from mast cells and the type IV allergy by the inhibition of γ-interferon production and B lymphocytes subpopulation. These results indicate that KJS may be useful for the prevention and treatment of type I and type IV allergy related disease.

Objective : This study was carried out to compare Saengmaeksan-gamibang(SG) to Saengmaeksan(SM) on the efficacy of moisturization, skin whitening, anti-inflammation, and anti-allergy in atopic dematitis using NC/Nga mice model. Methods : We assessed the effects of SG and SM on tyrosinase, filaggrin, serine-palmitoyl transferase(SPT), COX-2, AP-1 in vitro, on IgE, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IgM, IgG1, IFN-${\gamma}$ in vivo with NC/Nga mice. Results : 1. SG increased the tyrosinase inhibition activity and the levels of filaggrin and SPT, decreasing the level of COX-2. 2. On the other hand, SM decreased the tyrosinase inhibition activity and the levels of filaggrin and SPT, increasing the level of COX-2. 3. Serum IgE, IL-4, 5, 6, IgM, and IgG1 were decreased in both SG group and SM group compared to the control group. The decrease degree in these factors was higher in SG than in SM. 4. Serum IFN-${\gamma}$ was increased in both SG group and SM group compared to the control group. The increase degree in IFN-${\gamma}$ was higher in SG than in SM. Conclusion : As the result of the above experiments, it was proved that SG has the moisturization, skin whitening, anti-inflammation, and anti-allergy effects, which are greater than those of SM, and provides the significant efficacy on atopic dermatitis treatment.

Allergy skin prick test and intradermal test represent one of the major tools in the diagnosis of IgE-mediated diseases like as atopic asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, food and drug allergy, and insect bite when properly performed. Skin tests are of particular importance in fields such as allergen standardization, pharmacology, and epidemiology. Even if skin tests seem easy to perform, adequate and proper interpretation requires well-trained physicians who can recognize the numerous factors that may modify the results of skin tests.

Immdeiate hypersensitivity reactions to natural rubber and latex products pose a significant threat to patients, healthcare workers, and the general population. The purpose of this study is to summarize the clinical syomptoms of latex rubber allergy and provide guidelines for the management of latex allergy. Contact dermatitis from the nearly constant use of latex gloves during the workday has become a real problem for many health care professionals. Moreover, the patient who come in contact with these gloves or with other latex-containing equipment may show reactons. Far worse than skin problems is life-threatening anaphyaxis, which can be the first indication that a person has latex sensitivity. In conclusion, nurses shold know the latex precautions such as risk factors, adverse reactons to latex, emergent treatment and so on.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of Soshiho-tang on the patients who suffered from atopic dermatitis with gastrointestinal disorders.Methods : We diagnosed the symptoms and the signs of the patients who suffered from atopic dermatitis with gastrointestinal disorders as Soshiho-tang syndrome(嘔而發熱) according to 'Treatise on Cold Damage Disease(傷寒論)'. Patients are treated only with Soshiho-tang. The severity of Atopic dermatitis was evaluated by SCORAD index, visual analogue scale(VAS) and pictures. Gastrointestinal disorders(mainly food allergy, indigestion) were evaluated by patients' subjective complaint.Results : After the treatment, not only the severity of atopic dermatitis but gastrointestinal disorders were also improved.Conclusions : Soshiho-tang has improved the symptoms of Atopic dermatitis with gastrointestinal disorders in this study.

Atopic allergy implies a familial tendency to manifest alone or in combination such as asthma, rhinitis, urticaria and atopic dermatitis. The patient with atopic dermatitis shows a variety of humoral and cell-mediated immune dysfunction, including an elevation of serum IgE level, multiple positive immediate skin tests to a variety of antigen. A 30 year old female patient suffering from an atopic dermatitis on face, has been administered a stellate ganglion block(SGB) with a 1% mepivacaine 5cc. She complained of bronchial hyperresponsivness such as cough, soreness, and inspiration difficulty for 5 days following the treatment, so we have reduced 1% mepivacaine dose from 5cc to 3cc. She had no complain of bronchial hyperresponsivenss and the lesion of atopic dermatitis was improved. From our result we conclude that SGB appears to be a good choice for the treatment of the atopic dermatitis and only 1% mepivacaine 3cc is possible in complete SGB.

Objective : The objective of this study is to analyze an increasing rate, difference of attack rate in age, relationship between atopic dermatitis and breast-feeding, the relationship between atopic dermatitis and the Sasang constitution, and various treatments of atopic dermatitis. Methods : This clinical study was carried out with 22 theses which are related with diagnosis, treatments, prognosis and control of atopic dermatitis. The 22 theses are carried on J Korean Oriental Pediatrics, J Korean Oriental Ophthalmology, J Korean Oriental Med, J Korean Academy of Pediatric Allergy and Respiratory Disease, J Korean Acad Fam Med and Korean J Food & Nutr. Results : The prevalence rate, attack rate and diagnosis rate of atopic dermatitis are increased in the year of 2000, compared with those of 1995. Comparing age of patient between the year of 1992 and 2002, the attack rate of atopic dermatitis is increased quickly over 7 years old. Specific immunoglobulin E(IgE) antibodies detected in patients under 1 year old was exclusively caused by food. But for the age over 7 years old, food and inhalant allergen are detected in the year of 2002 in compare with that of 1992. Because of breast-feeding, intemperate diet adjustment during the period of maternity of family history of atopic dermatitis, the attack rate of atopic dermatitis is increased in infant. The types of patients are categorized according to Sasang constitution and Soeumin group was largest. The Oriental medicine treatments of atopic dermatitis are bath & skin hydration, avoidance from antigen, dietetic treatment, external treatment, medication and phototherapy. Conclusion : The atopic dermatitis is associated with breast-feeding, Sasang constitution types. More active approach for the treatment and prevention of Atopic dermatitis in children are needed.

Background : Atopic dermatitis is a chronic and recurrent allergy eczema, called as 'Tae-yul'. It is a characteristic dermatitis, diagnosed from baby to adult, that carries severe itching. Objectivd : The aim of this trial is to examine the effect and safety of Medibebe in patients with atopic dermatitis. Methods : We made a comparison between before and after the use this product. Volunteers who satisfied the requirements were enrolled in the study. Degrees of severity of atopic dermatitis were measured by SCORAD index. Results : After 4 weeks' use of Medibebe, SCORAD index showed a decrease of $20.0{\pm}10.2$(95% C.I: 17.1-22.9) compared with when it was not applied, which is a statistically meaningful change(p-value<0.0001). Subjective pruritus and Sleeping loss reported after both 2 and 4 weeks' use of Medibebe decreased in a statistically meaningful way(p-value<0.0001) compared with before the application. but, 2 cases out of all 50 subjects for the clinical trial were excluded on the way. Conclusion : As a result of applying the 4 items of Medibebe(cream, lotion, soap, and body cleanser) to patients with atopic dermatitis and watching the progress, it is concluded and considered that these cleansing and moisturizing products can be used by atopic patients safely and effectively with almost no side-effect.
