The Experimental Stydy on the Anti-Allergic Rhinitis Effects of the Sochungryong-tang
小靑龍湯이 알레르기 鼻炎에 미치는 效果에 대한 實驗的 硏究
Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa which is triggered by an allergic reaction. When exposed to certain allergens, the IgE covered mast cells degranulate releasing inflammatory mediators and cytokines which results in a local inflammatory reaction. In many recent studies, molecular biological methods have been used to investigate the role of cytokines in pathogenesis and new therapeutic targets of allergic rhinitis. This experimental study was done to research effects of Sochungryong-tang. We have studied effect of mice on OVA-induced production of IL-4, IL-5, IFN-
