Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze the research trends in herbal medicine as a treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD) in an animal model. Methods We conducted a search targeting papers published from 2013 onwards in Korean and English databases. The search terms were focused on "AD", "dermatitis", and "Korean medicine". Only animal experimental studies involving the oral administration of single or complex prescriptions of Korean medicine were included, whereas in vitro studies, local administration studies, and studies of specific components of Korean medicine were excluded. We searched the PubMed and Embase databases for English databases and the Science on Research Information Sharing Service (RISS) and Korean Studies Information Service System (KISS) databases for Korean studies. Results Among the herbal medicine intervention groups, the most commonly used single herbs were baekseonpi, danggui, and douchi, whereas a mixture of hwangryun and gamcho was used in three studies, making it the most frequently used combination. There were significant improvements in indicators related to the symptoms of AD and various pro-inflammatory markers. Conclusions These results indicate the efficacy of herbal medicines in the treatment of AD in animal models. However, this study had several limitations. Therefore, future systematic reviews that address these limitations and provide more comprehensive analyses are required.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Water Extract from Artemisiae Argi Folium (WAAF) on mouse macrophage Raw 264.7 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods : Cell viabilities were measured by MTT assay. And the intracellular productions of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 assay. TNF-$\alpha$ and IL-6 production from Raw 264.7 were measured by ELISA method. Results : The results of the experiment are as follows. 1. WAAF significantly increased the cell viability compared to the control group (treated with LPS only) at the concentrations of 10, 50, 100, 200, 400 ug/mL. 2. WAAF significantly increased the intracellular production of H2O2 compared to the control group at the concentrations of 50, 100, 200 ug/mL. 3. WAAF significantly decreased the production of TNF-$\alpha$ compared to the control group at the concentrations of 100, 200 ug/mL. 4. WAAF significantly decreased the production of IL-6 compared to the control group at the concentrations of 50, 100, 200 ug/mL. Conclusions : WAAF could be supposed to have the immune-modulating activity related with the macrophage's immunoactivity.

In the United States (US), due to the Common Rule, completely revised in 2017, single Institutional Review Board (IRB) review has become mandatory for government-sponsored multi-institutional research since 2020 regardless of the number of participating institutions. The goal of these changes is to reduce redundant reviews by the IRB at each institution and better protect research participants. In this paper, single IRB and Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) in the US and Korea were compared and considered, and their implications were discussed. A comparison of the HRPP evaluation and certification systems of the US and Korea includes that of SMART IRB in the US and Korea Central IRB, aiming at single IRB review for efficient review with support from the country and building a more efficient national human subject research network in the future. Its comparison and analysis will be helpful in deriving future tasks and development directions of single IRB and HRPP in Korea.

Early evaluation of obesity is important. Obesity is defined as an excessive accumulation of fat that causes harm to health. Among patients who visit a hospital for weight-related issues, diseases other than body fat gain may be present; however, people often cannot distinguish between these issues and concerns. Therefore, among patients who visit the hospital with weight gain concerns, it is necessary to determine whether the weight gain is actually the result of excessive fat accumulation. After being diagnosed with obesity, the cause and degree of obesity, the amount and distribution of body fat, and the degree of risk should be evaluated. Additionally, obesity-related complications should be identified and, even if there are no complications, all related risk factors should be evaluated and managed. In all these processes, diagnostic methods such as history taking, physical examination, body fat measurement, blood tests, and imaging tests are necessary, but history taking and physical examination, which can provide a lot of information from the beginning, should not be overlooked.

Objectives & Methods: The entire ≪Lingshu·Jingjin≫ content was analyzed to find repetitive patterns, as well as to analyze commonly used terms. Through this, the guidelines for interpretation were presented. Results & Conclusions: ≪Lingshu·Jingjin≫ is not a question-and-answer format, but a simple enumerated narrative format. There is no part corresponding to the introduction, only the descriptions of 12 individual Meridian-muscle exist. Each Meridian-muscle is divided into 'Flow of Muscle Mechanics(流走)' part and 'Diseases' part, and 'Flow of Muscle Mechanics' of each Meridian-muscle can be divided into 'Main Flow' and 'Branch'. 'Main Flow' is the most central 'Flow' in each 'Meridian-muscle', and 'Branch' is the part where 'Main Flow' ends and the description of another 'Flow' begins. 'Branch' has different expressions according to the importance. The expression also varies depending on the dynamics. 'Meridian-muscle' should be interpreted based on this.

Compensatory changes in energy consumption and neuro-hormonal changes following weight loss make it difficult to maintain the reduced weight and may cause weight regain. Therefore, establishing a long-term weight control plan and strategy starting from the initial weight loss period is necessary. Both the patient and doctor should know that weight loss cannot occur continuously, and that maintaining weight after the weight loss period is the basic course of obesity treatment. No single dietary pattern is effective for weight maintenance, and a variety of dietary control methods - such as calorie restriction and healthy proportions of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and meal replacements - should be used to target an integrated and healthy dietary habit. An increase in physical activity is needed for weight loss and maintenance; however, rather than recommending an excessive amount of exercise, it is better to set realistic and long-term achievable goals. It is necessary to reset the goal according to the patient's weight maintenance stage and continuously apply behavioral therapies, such as self-monitoring and stress management. In previous studies, since the degree of weight loss and changes in behavioral patterns over the course of one year were important factors in maintaining long-term weight loss, obesity therapists should closely examine patient data and behavioral patterns across a period of one year and actively intervene when needed.
