In order to examine the clinical effects on male pattern hair loss, the oriental medicine extract composed of Polygoni multiflori Radix, Angelica gigantis Radix and Lycii Fructus was tested to balding people. 40 males and 10 females were participated in this experiment, and they had spread the extract on their scalp themselves one time a day for 18 months. After 18 months, all participants submitted the reports that had questionnaires to determine the effect of topical oriental medicine extract on hair growth and/or hair loss preventing in balding people. In the results, ir was found that hair density on the entire scalp was gradually increased during the spreading period of the extract in most of balding people. The hair loss was observed about 1 week or 2 months after extract treatment and hair growth was observed about 6 months after extract treatment. In the reports, 74％ of participants answered that the extract was effective on hair growth and hair loss preventing, and improvement of scalp condition. From these results, it is suggested that the extract composed of Polygoni multiflori Radix, Angelica gigantis Radix and Lycii Fructus may be an effective medical care to hair growth and hair loss preventing in human.

An 8-year-old, castrated male Shih-tzu was referred due to relapsing pododermatitis and generalized pruritus. On physical examination, right forepaw showed swelling and serosanguinous exudates from sinus tract on dorsal paw. There were no remarkable findings on complete blood count (CBC), serum chemistry, and radiologic examination. On cytological examination of exudates from sinus tract, phagocyted bacteria and numerous degenerative neutrophils were noted. Results of deep skin scraping and plucking hair examination were unremarkable. Skin biopsy was performed and ruled out other skin diseases. Histopathology showed epidermal hyperplasia and diffuse mononuclear cell inflammation in dermal layer. Moreover, pyogranulomatous inflammation was demonstrated in subcutaneous layer. This case was clinically diagnosed as pododermatitis secondary to atopic dermatitis (AD). Clinical signs of pododermatitis were gradually improved following topical application of tacrolimus 0.1% ointment. This case report describes that tacrolimus ointment can be applicable for the treatment of refractory pododermatitis.

To develop topical nitroglycerin (NTG) preparation far chronic anal fissure treatment, the release rate of NTG should be controlled carefully. For this, microemulsion was prepared from the phase diagram construction with Cremophor ELP, ethanol and Labrafil $M1944CS^{(R)}$ and the topical gel was prepared by dispersing NTG containing microemulsion into hydrophilic polymers. in viかo release characteristics were evaluated with Franz diffusion cell using cellulose membrane and compared with control hydrogels. The release rate of NTG was followed $1^{st}$ order kinetics and, when comparing the NTG release from control hydrogel with that from the microemulsion-based hydrogel, the NTG release rate was controlled by the content of polymers within continuous phase and the concentration of dispersed phase.

짚시나방(Lymantria dispar)의 배자 발생에 미치는 유약호르몬의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 유약호르몬 유사체인 methoprene을 알에 도포처리(topical treatments)하여 부화율, 부화 유충의 생체량 및 알의 단백질과 탄수화물 함량 변화를 조사하였다. Methoprene 농도별 처리는 부화율에 영향을 미쳐 methoprene 처리군이 대조군(78.5%)에 비해 낮은 부화율을 나타 냈으며 5.0$\mul$ 처리군에서 가장 낮은율(42.5%)을 보여 주었다. 부화 직후 1령 유충의 생체량은 대조군이 0.7525mg으로 가장 높았으며 methoprene 농도 처리 순으로 감소하다가 5.0${\mu}\ell$ 처리군에서 0.6487mg으로 최하치를 나타냈다. 처리군별로는 대조군과 0.5$\mul$ 처리군이, 1.0$\mul$와 2.0$\mul$ 처리군의 생체량이 유사하였다. 배자 발생중 알의 단백질 함량 변화에서 0.5$\mul$ 처리군은 2, 4일째 대조군과 뚜렷한 차이를 나타냈으며, 탄수화물도 대조군에 비해 처리군이 낮은 함량을 유지하였다.

Several topical preparations containing lidocaine, a widely used local anesthetic agent, have been developed and marketed recently for the treatment of premature ejaculation. In this study, microemulsion(ME)-based hydrogels containing lidocaine were prepared by dispersing ME to hydrogel bases such as Carbopol, sod. alginate, and sod. carboxymethylcellulose. Lidocaine-containing ME was thermodynamically stable over 6 months and had a diameter ranging from 10 to 100 nm. In vitro skin penetration of lidocaine from ME-based hydrogels followed apparent zero-order kinetics. ME-based hydrogel showed higher drug penetration during fifteen minutes after application than alcoholic hydrogel, reference preparation. Tail flick test in rat was introduced to compare in vivo local anesthetic effects of different hydrogels, and the results showed that ME-based hydrogels are superior to other hydrogels. In optical microscopy, recrystallization of lidocaine was observed within 5 min after application of reference hydrogel, but there was no change in ME-based hydrogels even after 30 minnute. These results indicated that ME-based hydrogels had some advantages in skin penetration, anesthetic effect and physical stability compared with alcoholic hydrogels. Finally it is possible to conclude that ME-based hydrogels containing lidocaine is a good topical drug delivery system for the treatment of premature ejaculation.

Entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae, was able to invade and kill the several lepidopteran pests including the beet armyworm, Spodeptera exigua Hubner, which was the most effective target host. The beet armyworms treated with the effective nematode concentrations were died within 48 hrs. The lethal effect of the nematode was varied among the developmental stages of the host. The fifth instar larvae of the beet armyworm was more vulnerable to the nematode than the third instar larvae. Pupae was, however, refractory to the nematode. All three bioessays (topical application, filter paper test, and soil treatment) showed the positive correlation between the number of the treated nematodes and the mortality of the host. Topical application was the most effective and fast-acting method so that it gave the lethal effect 2 days earlier than did filter paper test at the same number of the treated nematodes. Soil treatment required higher number of the nematodes to get the effective lethality than did filter paper test. The fifth instar larvae of the beet armyworm expressed the specific hemolymph proteins of 5 to 10 kDa in response to nematode infection.

Atopic dermatitis is estimated to affect 15-20% of the childhood population and there id considerable evidence that the prevalence is increasing. But it is frequently under diagnosed and inappropriately treated yet. Atopic dermatitis can have a large social;. emotional and financial effect on the child and their family. Atopic dermatitis also commonly predated the development of asthma and allergic rhinitis. Therefore early diagnosis and proper treatment are the key for control the atopic dermatitis itself and modify the future repiratory allergies. This review will cover the new diagnostic criteria and treatment briefly.

Canine Juvenile cellulitis was diagnosed in 2 puppies hospitalized in Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University. Characterized dermatological problems were presents of scale, crust, purulent exudation and alopecia limited on their face. On cytologic examinations of direct impression smears for the lesions, numerous neutrophils and macrophagies were observed. No bacteria and fungus were noted. Treatments with administration of predinisolone and antibiotics orally combined with topical shampoo treatment had good results for the two puppies.

The effect of combinational treatment of oral HTGMB and topical CSGMB ("H&C" hereinafter) on the changes of dermal inflammation index and immune system were studied using NC/Nga atopic dermatitis animal model. 1. Through naked eye examination, H&C ameliorated atopic dermatitis compared to the control group. Significant reduction of dermal inflammation index was observed after 12 weeks of treatment. 2. The H&C treated group showed 51% increase in the number of immune cells in DLN, and 59% increase in the number of immune cells is dorsal skin. 3. The H&C treated group showed decrease of 26%, 8%, 59% in CD19+, CD3+/CD69+, B220+/IgE+ cells in DLN respectively. On the other hand, CD3+, CD8+, CD4+ cells were increased by 8%, 31%, 12%, respectively. 4. The H&C treated group showed significant decrease of 38% and 47% in B220+/IgE+, CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells within dorsal skin respectively. Also, a decrease in CCR3+ cells by 21% was observed. 5. Significant decrease of the production of IL-4, IL-5, GM-CSF by 39%, 65%, 60% respectively, in spleen cells activated with CD3 and CD28 were observed in the H&C treated group. The results above strongly suggest significance of anti-atopic dermatitis effect of combinational treatment of oral HTGMB and topical CSGMB through immune modulation. Further applications in clinical use of the treatment are anticipated.
