Cassia fistula commonly known as Sundali was selected to evaluate its wound healing potentials based on traditional use and literature references. Methanol extract of C. fistula leaves were examined for its wound healing property in the form of an ointment in two types of wound models in rats: i) Excision wound model and ii) Incision wound model. The ointment of the leaf extract of two different concentrations (5% and 10% w/w ointment of leaves extract in simple ointment base) responded significantly in both models of wounds tested. The results were also comparable to that of standard drug, nitrofurazone in terms of wound contraction ability, epithelisation period, tensile strength and regeneration of tissue at wound area.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of the wound contraction of chitosan, aloe vera, fucidin natrium, and premycin ointment on defected wound from full-thickness skin defects(1 cm $\times$ 1 cm). Twelve dogs were designed in 5 different positions on the dorsal thoracolumbar. We examined the effects of wound contraction every four other day 16 for days. Percentage of wound contraction based on epitherial overall area of defected wound which calculated by image analyzer and computer. Four to 8 days after wound contraction in wound defected dogs, the epithelial overall rate were the most high presented by 48.1 % in the chitosan group and were the lowest by 26.8% in the premycin group. In 16 days, chitosan group were the most heigh presented by 94.4% and premycin group were the lowest by 76.5% compare to saline group of 85.9%. Thus, we conclude that the chitosan is a possible role for improvement of wound contraction by wound defected dogs.

There are a wide variety of semi-solid ointments used for healing the skin diseases, whose therapeutic and skin penetration abililties may greatly differ from one another depending on the compositions of ointment vehicles. A computer optimization technique was applied to obtain the optimum formula of o/w type ointment giving the in vitro maximum absorption rate through hairless rat skin membrane. Some of the formulations were selected to find out a relationship between skin penetration of ointment and its Theological characteristics. The experimental value of absorption rate obtained from the ointment by optimum formula agreed well with the theoretical value obtained from a polynomial regression analysis, Three kinds of ointments selected among 15 formulations were obtained with a concentric cylinder type rheometer (Model; Rheolab SM-HM Physica, Germany) at 20, 30, 40 and $50^{\circ}C$ for rheograms of rhelolgical properties of o/w type ointments. As the temperature was raised, all products showed a decrease in both shear stress and yield values. The higher skin penetration, the lower shear stress showed.

Objectives : Diabetic Foot Ulcer(DFU) is one of the common complications of diabetes. DFU is difficult to treat compared to other chronic wounds and clinically effective treatments are limited. The purpose of this study is to review the of external ointment treatment for DFU. Methods : 8 databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, CNKI, NDSL, RISS, KISS, OASIS including English, Korean and Chinese were searched by structured search strategies that consist of terms as 'diabetic foot', 'diabetic foot ulcer(DFU)' and 'randomized' from January 2001 to January 2021. All randomized controlled trials(RCTs) involving treatment group as external ointment or in combination with conventional treatment were included. Results: A total of 20 RCTs was identified and analyzed. In treatment group, ointment was applied based on conventional treatment. A total of 16 different ointments were used, and the frequency of use was highest in the order of Heat-clearing drug, Blood-activating and stasis-dispelling drug, Tonifying and Replenishing drug and Orifice-opening drug. The most used herbs were in the order of Coptis chinensis Franch., Phellodendron chinense Schneid., Borneolum syntheticum., Angelica sinensis(Oliv.) Diels. In treatment group, a clinically effective effect was obtained compared to the contrast group. Conclusions : The result of this study suggest that external ointment treatment based on conventional treatment can be applied to DFU.

The ointment, had discovered and used from the ancient, have not ever defined to qualitity as the hardness concerned with the absorned With the absorption of the effect of durg through the skin. Auther, for the first time, suggest the apparent logarithmic hardness against the penetration of ointment registered on the pharmacopeia of the Republic of Korea, the results are as the followings. 1. The speciality of this apparent logarithmic hardness ie in proportion for the solidity on the contrary to the penetration of oiniment, and the distribution range of it are between 1.68 to 3.53 for their ointments examined. 2. The specific gravity of the verious ointments according to the apparent logarithmic hardness may be ignore on the calculaiotn, the mean valve of the samples was 2.9303. 3. The determination of apparent logarithmic hardness(H) by the penetration method follows the under equation. $H=log_{10}({\frac{P-0.545h^3}{0.855h^2}})$ where, the h is the penetrate length described centimeter, and p is the weight of the cone.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the external application of paste preparation recorded in the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty (朝鮮王朝實錄) and to clarify the significance of modern use of plaster therapy. Methods: Of many paste preparations, records of All-applying ointment (萬應膏), One-great ointment (太一膏), Pain-relieving plaster (救苦膏), and Pus-promoting powder (促膿膏) were especially examined from the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty. Other medical records regarding how these preparations were passed onto later generations were also studied. Results: According to the records from the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty, paste preparations were mainly used to cure abscess and sore, partly to treat pain diseases. From other medical documents, it could be found that these preparations were continuously used in subsequent eras. Conclusions: From these records, the level and features of Chosun Dynasty medicine could be speculated. It is necessary to find and restore effective paste preparations in Traditional Korean Medicine to use for treating disease today. Therefore, records from the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty are important and meaningful materials.

Burns can be caused by fire, chemicals, heated object and fluids. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. Algin is known as natural polymer marine plants, we prepared the official burn ointment which is made by Algin. This burn ointment was covered on the skin wound of artificial burned and their effect of healing was investigated by the evaluation of histological and hematological change as a function of time. The result of rats test showed that burn ointments made from Algin was effective in formation of the new tissue and reduction of inflammation.
