Objectives : There have been few studies on external treatment for itching. A clinical study was performed to evaluate the effect of a newly developed herbal ointment. Methods : A newly developed herbal ointment made from Rumex japonicus Houtt, Prunus persica(Linne) Batsch, Sesamum indicum L., and Sus scrota domestics Brisson., was given to 49 participants with itching to administer for approximately a month. Demographic characteristics, treatment experiences, symptom change, and other comments were self-reported on a pre-defined questionnaire. Results : Most frequent complaint was itching (24.01%), followed by sensitivity (19.60%), dryness(18.62%), frustration (13.72%) and insomnia (12.25%). Of 41 participants who had been given treatment for itching, around a half of them (n=21) have been treated with Korean Medicine, but all of them tried Western Medicine as well. The effect of the ointment was evaluated as excellent or good/fair (67.32%). Continuity was reported as excellent or good/fair (51.0%) and fragrance (73.44%) and color (75.48%) was reported as excellent or good/fair. Convenience, however, was assessed as good/fair (67.32%) and as inconvenient (22.4%). Conclusion : The newly developed herbal ointment seems promising for relieving itching and further research to standardize and develop this kind of ointment is warranted.

Objectives : Taglisodog-eum(TSE), a poly herbal formula, has been widely used to improve carbuncles by removing inflammation of the lymphatic channels in Traditional Korean Medicine. We previousely reported the action mechanism of TSE on experimental atopic dermatitis and the establishment of formulation for TSE ointment. In this study, we examined the toxicity test on skin and eye irritation by TSE ointment to prove the safety of Taglisodog-eum ointment in clinical use. Methods : Acute skin toxicity of the TSE ointment was evaluated in Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats. After dermal administration of TSE ointment(2,000mg/kg), body weight, mortality, and clinical signs of the rats were observed for 14days. Primary skin irritation and ocular irritation tests for TSE ointment were performed in male New Zealand White Rabbits. In dermal and ocular irritation test, body weight, mortality, clinical signs, Primary Irritation Index(P.I.I.), and The Index of Acute Ocular Irritaion(I.A.O.I.) of rabbit were observed after applying at abraded skin and eye balls with Taglisodog-eum ointment. Results : In the results of acute skin toxicity, no significant differences were found in body weight, the clinical sign and the mortality between control and TSE ointment treated group. In primary dermal irritation test, body weight, the clinical sign and the mortality were not significantly changed and Primary Irritation Index(P.I.I.) was 0.8, indicating TSE ointment as weak irritant material. In ocular irritation test, The Index of Acute Ocular Irritaion was 0.0, indicating TSE ointment as non-irritating to the eye of the rabbits. To evaluate toxicity of the TSE ointment in animal test, body weight, the clinical signs, the skin and eye irritation check were conducted; TSE ointment was considered to be weak dermal irritant in test animals. The no response of eye irritation test was observed in this experimental condition. Conclusions : According to the above toxicity test, We consider that this results is helpful for saying about the safety of TSE ointment in clinical use.

Objectives : Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang(黃連解毒湯) is a representative herbal formula with "clear heat(淸熱)" effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang-based intranasal herbal ointment Biyeom-go based on the cold and heat pattern identification questionnaire(CHPIQ). Methods : We performed a subgroup analysis of the previously published prospective observational study. A total of 58 patients with rhinitis were administered Biyeom-go for 4 weeks, and its effects on the Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS), Mini Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire(Mini-RQLQ) score, and nasal endoscopy index score were analyzed based on CHPIQ. Results : Among the 58 patients, the heat and non-heat patterns were shown by 39 and 19 patients, respectively, while the cold and non-cold patterns were shown by 46 and 12 patients, respectively. The change in TNSS from baseline negatively correlated with the heat pattern score(p=0.011). Improvement in TNSS was greater in the heat pattern group than in the non-heat pattern group, with a borderline significant difference(p=0.07). Mini-RQLQ and nasal endoscopy index scores tended to be lower in the heat pattern group than in the non-heat pattern group, but without a statistically significant difference. Conclusion : The findings indicate that CHPIQ is a useful tool for the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients with rhinitis. This study provides fundamental evidence of the close association between the cold-heat pattern in patients with rhinitis and the treatment effects of Biyeom-go.

목 적 : 한약 또는 한약제제의 아토피성 피부염에 대한 치료효과를 조사하고 향후 연구방향을 제시하기 위하여 고찰연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : PubMed에 한약과 아토피성 피부염과 관련된 검색어의 조합을 넣어 포함기준에 맞는 무작위배정 대조군 임상연구만 포함하였다. 연구설계, 치료방법, 대조군, 평가지표, 결과, 부작용 관련 정보를 미리 정해놓은 자료 추출 형식에 맞추어 추출하고 방법론적 질 평가는 옥스포드 질 평가 척도와 그룹 할당 은닉(allocation concealment) 여부를 평가하였다. 연구들이 임상적 및 통계적으로 상이하여 메타분석은 이루어지지 않고 기술적 고찰만 실시하였다. 결 과 : 모두 8편의 연구가 고찰기준을 만족시켰다. 다양한 복합한약제제와 한약이 포함된 외용제가 평가되었는데 8편 가운데 5편에서 아토피성 피부염의 증상을 호전시키는 것으로 나타났다. 방법론적 질은 대체로 양호한 것으로 나타났으며 일부 효과적인 것으로 나타난 한약복합제제에서 간손상 등의 부작용도 보고되었다. 결 론 : 한약 또는 한약제제를 이용한 치료는 아토피성 피부염의 증상개선에 도움이 되는 것으로 보이나 현재 근거는 부족하다. 우리나라에서 많이 쓰이는 한약제제들 역시 엄정한 임상연구를 거쳐 그 효과를 평가하고 근거를 구축해야 할 것이다.
