알렌드로네이트의 생체이용률을 높이고 경구복용시 발생하는 부작용을 해소하고자 경피약물전달시스템에 전기이온영동법, microneedle 등을 적용하여 in-vitro 시험 후 약물전달량을 HPLC-Flu를 이용하여 조사하였다. 전기이온영동시험을 위해 사용된 약물 패취는 UV중합법으로 합성하였으며, 이때 패취에 함유된 알렌드로네이트의 량은 $5.0\;mg/cm^3$이었다. 0.25, $0.50\;mA/cm^2$의 전류를 인가한 경우, 약물전달량은 각각 $0.80{\pm}0.03$와 $2.00{\pm}0.02{\mu}g$이었다. microneedle로 전처리 후의 전달량은 각각 $70.65{\pm}0.37$와 $162.23{\pm}0.40{\mu}g$으로 증가했다. 경피약물전달용 알렌드로네이트 패취의 생체적 합성 평가는 ISO 10993에 따라 시험하였다.

Microstereolithography technology has potential capability for fabrication of 3D microstructures. It evolved from conventional SLA which is one of the RP processes. In a microstereolithography process, 3D microstructures can be easily fabricated by continuously stacking 2D layer which is photopolymerized using a liquid prepolymer. Combination between biocompatible/biodegradable photocurable prepolymer and 3D complex fabrication in microstereolithography makes broad application areas such as medical, pharmaceutic, and bio devices. In particular, a 3D microneedle for transdermal drug delivery and a scaffold for tissue engineering are fabricated using this technology. In this paper, the authors address development of microstereolithography system adapted to large surface and fabrication of various microstructures. In addition, to apply human body we suggest a biodegradable 3D microneedle and a scaffold using biodegradable photocurable prepolymer.

아토피의 치료를 위해 사용되는 부펙사막은 연고제 형태로 사용되는 약물이다. 부펙사막은 피부 장벽효과에 의해 실제 전달되는 양은 매우 적다. 이러한 문제를 갖는 부펙사막의 피부전달 효율을 증가시키기 위하여 마이크로니들을 이용해 피부처리를 실시하였다. 약물의 피부투과량과 피부에서 약물의 전달형태를 알아보기 위하여 부펙사막에 FITC를 결합시켰으며 이를 포함하는 하이드로겔을 제조하여 피부에 도포하였다. 약물의 피부투과량을 확인하기 위해서 형광분광계를 사용하여 분석하였으며 약물의 전달형태를 확인하기 위하여 형광필터가 장착된 마이크로현미경을 사용하였다. 실험결과 마이크로니들로 처리된 피부에서 부펙사막의 피부투과량이 대조군에 비해 5~20배 이상 증가되었으며 마이크로니들 처리횟수가 증가함에 따라서 더 크게 증가될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an antimetabolic of the pyrimidine derivatives that is used in chemotherapy for the treatment of several types of cancer. 5-FU have poor oral absorption and short biological half-time and strong side effects. Microneedle introduced to find a solution of problems. Microneedle device with roll was manufactured for transdermal delivery of various drugs. 5-FU was mixed in non-ionic surfactant such as tween 20 and tween 80. Camscope was used to analysis the permeation magnitude of treated skin by microneedle and trypan blue staining. The 5-FU solution with surfactant measured by ZETA-potential analysis system for stability of solution. The skin permeation rate of 5-FU determined by HPLC. We confirmed that cross treated skin was dyed more deeply than parallel treated skin through trypan blue staining. The results indicate that skin permeation rate of 5-FU was increased with the treatment types and treatment times.

Background & Objective : Rejuvenate treatment with oriental medicine is popular these days. However, there are few reports about it. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of derma stamp treatment. Derma stamp is a new clinical equipment for Microneedle System. Methods : Restrospective study was conducted. Ten patients were treated for 5 weeks. Follow-up was performed after the treatment with Janus facial analysis system. Satisfaction degree was asked from the patients. Results and Conclusions : Derma stamp treatment was good for skin aging problems like pore, wrinkle, spot, sebum and porphyrin. Especially oily type had better effect than dry type.

Objectives : This study was to observe clinical application of auto-microneedle therapy system (AMTS) in patients with peripheral facial paralysis. Methods : 27 peripheral facial paralysis patients were observed after taking AMTS at Facial Palsy Center, Kyung Hee University Oriental Medicine Hospital from March 1, 2011 to January 9, 2012. We assessed the symptoms of facial paralysis with Yanagihara unweighted grading system, Sunnybrook facial grading system(SBGS) and facial disability index(FDI), and observed adverse events and total safety of the treatment. Results : The scores of facial palsy scales increased after AMTS in Yanagihara grading system and Sunnybrook facial grading system. AMTS-related adverse events were mild pain(5.9%) and fatigue(3.5%), which needed no extra treatment. The total safety evaluation was between 'safe' and 'nearly safe' level. There were no other serious adverse events. In addition, patients were satisfied with subjective improvement including facial tingling and numbness. Conclusions : AMTS can be applied as an adjunctive treatment for patients with peripheral facial paralysis due to its safety and clinical usefulness. It is easier to stimulate wide skin area in a short time. Further clinical research is required to investigate the effectiveness of ATMS in a more rigorous RCTs.

Objectives This clinical study is aimed to examine the effects of herbal medication and pharmacopunture on child with different types of alopecia. Methods 13 year old girl was treated with Hominis placenta pharmacopuncture microneedle therapy system and Ganoderma lucidum pharmacopuncture mesotherapy on the alopecia lesion for 20 months. Herbal medication, meridian pharmacopuncture therapy and physiotherapy were also used to reduce physical symptoms. Results The patient had a relapse of hair loss with changing alopecia types, but eventually alopecia has been resolved and maintained throughout the Korean medicine treatment. Conclusions This study shows the effect of the Korean medical treatments for a pediatric patient with alopecia. And more research is needed to study about patients with different types of alopecia.

Objective : This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Hwangryeonhaedoktang pharmacopuncture solution (HRHDT) and microneedle therapy system (MTS) on hair growth in an alopecia model of C57BL/6N mice.Methods : Six-week old mice were depilated and separated in 4 groups ; CON (saline), MXD (3% Minoxidil), MTS and HRHDT+MTS. The treatments were applied twice a week for 17 days. The hair growth was determined photographically. The hair density, thickness and length were identified by Folliscope and the weights of body and organs were measured. In dorsal skin tissue, the expression of hair growth-related gene and protein was analyzed by RT-PCR. In addition, the hair follicles in the dermis were observed by H&E staining.Results : The promotion of hair growth was observed in HRHDT+MTS and MTS compared to CON. The hair density, thickness and length were also improved in HRHDT+MTS and MTS compared to CON. The mRNA expression of IGF-1, PRL and PL and the protein expression of VEGF and IGF-1 were increased in HRHDT+MTS and MTS compared to CON. The hair follicles and hair root growth were improved in HRHDT+MTS and MTS compared to CON. In the above results, HRHDT+MTS were more effective than MTS.Conclusions : These results suggest that HRHDT and MTS have a hair growth activity and can be useful for the treatment of alopecia.

Objectives This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Ganoderma lucidum extract (GLE) and microneedle therapy system (MTS) on hair growth in an alopecia model of C57BL/6N mice. Methods Five-week old mice were depilated and separated in 4 groups ; CON (50% EtOH), MXD (5% Minoxidil), MTS and GLE + MTS. The treatments were applied twice a week for 3 weeks. The hair growth was determined photographically, the hair density, thickness and length were identified by Folliscope and the weights of body and organs were measured. In dorsal skin tissue, the expression of hair growth-related gene and protein was analyzed by RT - PCR or Western blot. In addition, the hair follicles in the dermis were observed by H&E staining. Results The promotion of hair growth was observed in GLE + MTS and MTS compared to CON. The hair density, thickness and length were also improved in GLE + MTS and MTS compared to CON. The mRNA expression of TGF-${\alpha}$, TGF-${\beta}1$, IGF-1, PRL and PL and the protein expression of VEGF and IGF-1 were increased in GLE + MTS and MTS compared to CON. The hair follicles and hair root growth were improved in GLE + MTS and MTS compared to CON. In the above results, GLE + MTS were more effective than MTS. Conclusions These results suggest that GLE and MTS has a hair growth activity and can be useful for the treatment of alopecia.
