This study was undertaken to identify differences between atopic and non-atopic dogs in three rapid screening immunodot assays as well as the ability of the assays to predict the results of intradermal skin testing (IDST) or Favrot diagnostic criteria (FDC). Twenty-nine dogs diagnosed with canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) were selected as the atopic group. Twenty-five dogs without CAD were included as the non-atopic group. Three types of immunodot assays were conducted on all serum samples from both groups: Allercept E-screen 2nd generation (ES2G), Canine Allergic Tendency Reference Test (ALERT), and Asan Easy Test Canine IgE (AETC). IDST, which included 39 allergens, and immunodot assays were performed concurrently in 13 dogs from the atopic group and compared. While there were no significant differences in positivity between the two groups in the evaluation of ALERT (P = 0.435) and AETC (P = 0.313), positivity in ES2G testing was significantly higher in the non-atopic group than the atopic group (P = 0.038). The ES2G, ALERT, and AETC results showed fair (${\kappa}=0.235$), slight (${\kappa}=0.133$), and slight (${\kappa}=0.014$) accordance with IDST, respectively. The outcomes of ES2G, ALERT, and AETC indicated poor (${\kappa}=-0.211$), slight (${\kappa}=0.106$), and slight (${\kappa}=0.087$) agreement with FDC. In conclusion, rapid screening immunodot assays were not useful for the diagnosis of CAD. These assays may provide a supplementary method for predicting the results of IDST in atopic dogs.

본 연구는 닭 진드기 구제를 목적으로 개발된 살비제인와구잡이 II® (WGJB, 편백정유 : 계피정유 = 20 : 56)에 대하여 토끼와 기니픽을 이용하여 피부 자극성 및 감작성 평가를 각각 수행하였다. 일차피부자극시험에서 토끼의 피부에 WGJB를 24시간 동안 처리한 후 피부 자극성을 확인한 결과, WGJB는 비찰과 부위에서 홍반과 부종과 같은 어떠한 부작용도 일으키지 않았으나, 몇몇 토끼의 찰과 부위에서 매우 약한 홍반과 부종을 나타내어 WGJB의 1차 피부자극 지수는 0.625이었다. 따라서 WGJB는 약한 자극성이 있는 물질로 분류되었다. 피부감작성 시험에서 기니픽에 0.1 mL의 WGJB을 피내주사한 후 24시간 동안 감작시켰다. 감작 1주일 후 WGJB를 함유한 패취를 주사부위에 부착하여 48시간 동안 처리한 다음, 2주 후에 WGJB를 함유한 패취를 부착하여 감작을 야기시켰다. WGJB는 어떠한 알러지 반응도 나타내지 않았다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통하여 WGJB는 약한 피부 자극성을 가지며 감작성을 야기하지 않는 물질로 평가되었다.

Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is an inflammatory and pruritic skin disease with a genetic predisposition, characterized by allergic sensitivity. It is known for its distinctive clinical features, including a high recurrence rate and chronic progression. To manage CAD, medications such as steroids and immunosuppressants are commonly used, but consideration should be given to the potential resistance and side effects associated with long-term use. In order to reduce these risks, various adjunctive factors are currently under consideration. One of these adjunctive agents, probiotics have shown effectiveness in regulating atopic dermatitis by modulating immune responses, as demonstrated in several recent studies. In this study, a substance combining three probiotics-L. plantarum, L. reuteri, and Ped. Acidilactici-was used in patients diagnosed with CAD, and its clinical effects and safety were evaluated. The trial involved four groups: a group receiving conventional treatment for atopic dermatitis (A), a group prescribed low-dose probiotics (B), a group prescribed high-dose probiotics (C), and a group prescribed topical probiotics (D). For assessment, the Canine Atopic Dermatitis Extent and Severity Index (CADESI), Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) test, gut microbiome, and serum IgE test were conducted. As a result, the CAD severity index (CADESI-4) significantly decreased in the probiotics groups (B & C). In the serum total IgE test, the groups consuming probiotics showed a significant difference, while the group using topical probiotics (D) did not exhibit a significant change. Also, the TEWL test showed improved scores in the probiotics groups (B & C). Therefore, L. plantarum, L. reuteri, and Ped. Acidilactici probiotic combination could be considered as an effective adjunctive treatment, especially for atopic patients with moderate to severe skin lesions.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate bacteriocin activity against human flora. Lactobiocin, a bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus sp. HY 449, inhibited the growth of Starphylococcus epidermidis, Starphylococcus aureus, Streptoccoccus pyogenes and Propionibacterium acnes. When crude bacteriocin was added to indicator cells during logarithmic growth, the optical density(O.D 650nm) of cells without bacteriocin increase after 5h of incubation. Whereas in the presence of bacteriocin, the O.D of cell suspensions decreased. The similar patterns were observed for absorbance readings at 280 nm and 260 nm. The release of cellular components when cell were treated with Lactobiocin suggests some degree of membrane damage or cell lysis. Scanning electron microscopy of cells following treatments with Lactobiocin in PBS buffer revealed disruptures of cell morphology. These results indicate that bacteriocin appears to cause cell lysis of tested strains. In cytotoxicity on human fibroblast, LD$\_$50/ of Lactobiocin was ca. 50 mg/ml and no change was observed cell proliferation at the same concentration. Any irritation and allergic reaction did not observed when evaluated by human patch test for Lactobiocin.

The aim of this study was to raise awareness about smoking and to facilitate the induction of smoking cessation. The participants were 49 patients who showed intention to participate in the test. The participants who had done a questionnaire, were asked to quit smoking for about an hour. After taking the breath deeply, they stopped for 20 seconds and measured breathing slowly. Carbon monoxide in the exhalation was higher when the daily smoking amount was higher and the smoking duration was longer, but not significant. In the case of smoking after meal and smoking in bed in the morning, the carbon monoxide level was significantly higher than that in the case of not smoking. It was significantly associated with skin allergic symptoms. The usual exercise habits, drinking and the respiratory disease were not correlated with carbon monoxide levels.

본 연구는 항산화 및 알러지성 피부질환에 대한 효과가 있는 안전성이 확보된 새로운 천연 향장 소재 개발을 위하여 인진호(A. capillaris)를 6종의 용매($dH_2O$, ethanol, methanol, acetone, ethyl acetate and hexane)로 추출한 추출물의 항산화 및 항아토피 활성을 검증하였다. 항산화 활성 검증에서는 methanol (DPPH: 85.87%, FRAP: 1.772)과 $dH_2O$ (DPPH: 60.69%, FRAP: 3.185) 등의 극성 용매 추출물에서 우수한 항산화 활성을 나타내었으나 비극성 용매에서는 활성이 거의 없었다(ethyl acetate 41.81%, 0.407, Hexane 8.37%, 0.328). DNFB-induced atopic dermatitis mouse model에 의한 항 아토피에 대한 치유력 측정에서는 인진호 추출물 처리군은 염증 세포의 수에서 음성 대조군과 비교하여 220% 증가로 양성 대조군의 400% 보다 약 45%의 완화 효과를 보여 주었으며, 귀의 두께는 음성 대조군의 175%로 양성 대조군의 330%보다 약 47%가 감소하는 뚜렷한 증상 완화 효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 인진호 추출물의 항산화 물질이 극성 물질이며, DNFB 처치에 의한 귀의 비후반응 감소와 염증부위의 면역세포 침투현상을 감소시키는 염증반응 완화 기능성 물질을 포함하고 있을 가능성을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 인진호 추출물에 대한 물리적 특성, 유전자 발현과 면역학적 실험 등이 추가 된다면 새로운 향장소재나 기능성 식품의 소재로도 이용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

두충(잎, 껍질, 줄기)의 추출물이 DNCB로 감작된 4주령 BALB/c mouse 암컷에 유도된 접촉성 피부염의 억제효과를 조사하였다. 림프절, 비장 및 흉선의 무게는 두충 투여군이 DNCB 대조군보다는 낮게 나타났다. 두충 부위별 추출물을 투여한 군에서 귀의 무게는 두충 추출물의 농도가 높을수록 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 대조군과 비교하여 무게에 함량 변화가 있었다. 두충의 부위별 추출물을 1,000 mg/kg 농도로 투여하면 귀의 무게는 대조군과 유사한 수준까지 낮아졌으며, 귀의 두께는 두충 추출물을 투여한 군에서 시간이 경과할수록 두께가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. MDA 함량은 DNCB 대조군과 두충 투여군을 비교하였을 경우에, 간 조직에서 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 염증이 발생한 귀 조직에서는 차이가 나타났으며(p<0.05), NO 함량은 SW, ST 및 BT 그룹에서 염증이 억제되어 대조군과 마찬가지로 측정되지 않았다.
