  • A randomized experimental study was done to evaluate short course therapeutic efficacies of two types of mupirocin ointment (Bactroban Nasal and Bactroban) in the elimination of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal colonization (16 dogs) and wound infection (3 dogs or 18 wound sites) in dogs. In each model, dogs being assigned to TR-1 treatment group was given ointment twice a day for two consecutive days, and those that assigned to TR-2 treatment group was given the same dose for three days. Neither TR-1 nor TR-2 regimen was effective to clear nasal carriage completely with a clearing rate of 62.5% and 87.5%, respectively. Whereas, for 2 days at least twice daily application of mupirocin for wound infection was quite enough to eliminate MRSA, with a clearing rate of 83.3~100% by 4 weeks follow-up. No apparent side effects were observed in each model, and in no case was it necessary to discontinue the treatment. Further controlled studies on the elimination of nasal colonization are required to establish cost-effective and efficient regimen on companion animals.

  • "Chimumchang" seems to be a kind eczema. The cause and symptom of eczema is similar to that of chimumchang. so, I investigated the literatures of oriental medicin and recent medicine. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Chimumchang seems to be a kind of eczema. Allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatits, neurodermatitis, nummular dermatitis, xerotic eczema and so on are similar to chimumchang on cause & symptom. 2. The cause of chimumchang are summer vital energy excess(夏脈太過), sehwa excess(歲火太過), herat meridian wind-heat(心經風熱), heart fire(心火), wind taken spleen dampnees(脾濕受風), and so on. The cause of eczema are contact of external agent, immunological problem, heridity, infection, abnormalities of sebaceous glands, neurologic dysfuction, and so on. 3. The symptoms of chimumchang have been described to the three pattern on literature of oriental medicine until now. 1) scratching slightly, It has exudation, and combination. 2) Vital energy on skin is irritable by psychological problem. At the acute stage the patient is complain of itching & pain, and gradually the exudation expands in whole body. 3) early peorid it's size is very small, and at first the patient is complain of itching, later complain of pain. The exudation change to ulcer and expands in the whole body. 4. In the investigation of prescription(Total: 34, Oral medicine: 4, Ointment: 30), the most frequently used oral medicine is sungmatang(4 times), and the most frequently used ointment are kohosan, korvunsan and kegwanhyuldobang.

  • Time-concentration curves of recombinant human interferon alpha$(rIFN-{\alpha}A)$ in the skin and serum of nude mice or rats were studied after topical application of IFN ointment. IFN appeared in the skin and serum in less than 30 minutes and lasted for more than 10-12 hours at high concentration level after the application to nude mice at a dose of $9.0{\times}10^5\;IU/g$ mouse. But in the rats, IFN was not detected in the serum even 7 hours after the application at a dose of $6.0{\times}10^5\;IU/g$ rat. Topical application of IFN might be useful for the topical and systemic treatment if the human skin resembles that of nude mouse in respect to transport characteristics.

  • The steady shear flow properties of vaseline generally used as a base of the pharmaceutical dosage forms were studied in the consideration of wall slip phenomenon. The purpose of this study was to show that how slip may affect the experimental steady-state flow curves of semisolid ointment bases and to discuss the ways to eliminate (or minimize) wall slip effect in a rotational rheometer. Using both a strain-controlled ARES rheometer and a stress-controlled AR1000 rheometer, the steady shear flow behavior was investigated with various experimental conditions ; the surface roughness, sample preparation, plate diameter, gap size, shearing time, and loading methods were varied. A stress-controlled rheometer was suitable for investigating the flow behavior of semisolid ointment bases which show severe wall slip effects. In the conditions of parallel plates attached with sand paper, treated sample, smaller diameter fixture, larger gap size, shorter shearing time, and normal force control loading method, the wall slip effects could be minimized. A critical shear stress for the onset of slip was extended to above 10,000 dyne/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The wall slip effects could not be perfectly eliminated by any experimental conditions. However, the slip was delayed to higher value of shear stress by selecting proper fixture properties and experimental conditions.

  • Background: Scabies is a contagious skin infestation primarily observed in poor or overcrowded environments. However, an individual may be affected regardless of hygiene and/or socioeconomic status, and/or age. Objective: To investigate the characteristics and epidemiology of scabies in patients visiting a single tertiary hospital in Jeonbuk province. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 194 patients with scabies who visited the Dermatology clinic at Wonkwang University Hospital between June 2015 and May 2018. Results: Of the 194 patients investigated, 82 (42.3%) were men and 112 (57.7%) were women. The mean age of men was 46.3 years and that of women was 60.1 years. Scabies was diagnosed in patients most commonly in autumn. The most common symptom of scabies was the occurrence of papules (83.5%) followed by the presence of burrows (23.2%). The most common route of infection was a nursing hospital (26.3%), except unknown (29.4%). Medications used to treat scabies included 5% permethrin cream, 10% crotamiton ointment, and 1% gamma benzene hexachloride lotion. The mean duration of treatment was 33.9 days using 5% permethrin cream, 34.8 days using 10% crotamiton ointment, and 34.6 days using 1% gamma benzene hexachloride lotion. Conclusion: This study could help in the prevention and management of scabies, by guiding clinicians in choosing optimal therapeutic agents based on patients' condition.

  • The diagnostic accuracy of dermoscopy (DS) for scabies, a highly contagious parasitic disease, remains disputed. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of DS in scabies, analyze the factors influencing DS, and explore its role in post-treatment evaluation. Patients with suspected scabies were randomly divided into 2 groups: 71 patients in the skin scraping (SS) group and 73 patients in the DS group. The diagnostic efficiencies of SS and DS in these groups were calculated. We also analyzed the influence of body part and investigator competence on the accuracy of DS. Then 16 body parts with typical signs of scabies were monitored by DS 2 and 4 day after sulfur ointment treatment. The sensitivity and specificity of DS were 98.3% and 88.5%, respectively. Hands, arms, and the abdomen had higher positivity rates than other body parts (P<0.001). The accuracy of dermatologists' interpretations of images negative for scabies in the intermediate- and high-level groups was higher than that in the low-level group (P<0.001). At follow-up, the mites were still visible on 43.8% to 62.5% of the skin lesions 2 and 4 day after sulfur ointment treatment. These results showed that DS could significantly increase the accuracy of diagnosing scabies owing to its high sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, it may be useful for monitoring clinical responses to anti-parasitic treatment.

  • 세 마리의 군 사역견이 신체검사와 직장 검사 등을 통해 항문주위 누공으로 진단되었다. 초기 치료는 단기간의 싸이클로스포린과 케토코나졸과 0.1%의 타크로리무스 연고제제로 시작하였다. 병변이 거의 다 치료가 되었을 시점부터 0.1% 타크로리무스 연고제제를 도포 횟수를 줄여서 실시하였다. 세 마리 모두에서 병변은 2-8주 사이에 별다른 부작용을 동반하지 않고 거의 대부분 사라졌으며, 완치는 증례 1, 2, 3에서 각 13, 6, 4주에 이루어졌다. 이 세가지 약물의 병용 프로토콜은 항문낭과도 연결된 항문주위 누공에서도 병변을 해소하는데 효과적이었으며, 특히 초기에 빠른 병변의 해소에 도움이 되어 병변으로부터 발생되는 고통을 경감시켜주는 기간이 늘어나는 것이 강점이라고 할 수 있다. 또한 시간적인 측면 외에도 경제적인 측면에서도 도움이 되므로 개에서 발생하는 항문주위 누공에 효과적인 치료 프로토콜로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • Using a strain-controlled rheometer [Rheometrics Dynamic Analyzer (RDA II)], the steady shear flow properties of a semi-solid ointment base (vaseline) have been measured over a wide range of shear rates at temperature range of $25{\sim}60^{\circ}C$. In this article, the steady shear flow properties (shear stress, steady shear viscosity and yield stress) were reported from the experimentally obtained data and the effects of shear rate as well as temperature on these properties were discussed in detail. In addition, several inelastic-viscoplastic flow models including a yield stress parameter were employed to make a quantitative evaluation of the steady shear flow behavior, and then the applicability of these models was examined by calculating the various material parameters (yield stress, consistency index and flow behavior index). Main findings obtained from this study can be summarized as follows : (1) At temperature range lower than $40^{\circ}C$, vaseline is regarded as a viscoplastic material having a finite magnitude of yield stress and its flow behavior beyond a yield stress shows a shear-thinning (or pseudo-plastic) feature, indicating a decrease in steady shear viscosity as an increase in shear rate. At this temperature range, the flow curve of vaseline has two inflection points and the first inflection point occurring at relatively lower shear rate corresponds to a static yield stress. The static yield stress of vaseline is decreased with increasing temperature and takes place at a lower shear rate, due to a progressive breakdown of three dimensional network structure. (2) At temperature range higher than $45^{\circ}C$, vaseline becomes a viscous liquid with no yield stress and its flow character exhibits a Newtonian behavior, demonstrating a constant steady shear viscosity regardless of an increase in shear rate. With increasing temperature, vaseline begins to show a Newtonian behavior at a lower shear rate range, indicating that the microcrystalline structure is completely destroyed due to a synergic effect of high temperature and shear deformation. (3) Over a whole range of temperatures tested, the Herschel-Bulkley, Mizrahi-Berk, and Heinz-Casson models are all applicable and have an almostly equivalent ability to quantitatively describe the steady shear flow behavior of vaseline, whereas the Bingham, Casson,and Vocadlo models do not give a good ability.
