Objectives : In order to investigate the effect of Bobitang on SD rats with deteriorated immunity caused by methotrexate. Methods : The test sample were dosed once a day for 14 days by gastric gavage at a dosage 1,000, 500 and $250mg/kg/10m{\ell}$ from 2 days after last MTX-dosing, and the changes on body weight and gains, spleen weight and total blood leukocyte numbers, total lymphocyte numbers, the percentage of B-cell, T-cell, CD3+CD4+ T-cell, CD3+CD8+ T-cell and CD4+/CD8+ T-cell ratios in the blood and spleen were observed. Results : The changes on body weight gains, the spleen weight, the total blood leukocyte numbers, the total lymphocyte numbers in the blood and spleen, the ratio of T-cell in the blood and spleen, the ratio of CD3+CD4+ T-cell in the blood and spleen were increased significantly in BBT Extracts groups as compared with control group. The ratio of B-cell in the blood and spleen was not increased significantly in BBT Extracts groups as compared with control group. The percentage of CD3+CD8+ T-cell in the blood and spleen was decreased significantly in BBT Extracts groups as compared with control group.

As society ages, the seriousness of Parkinson's disease in the elderly increases. This study was performed in order to evaluate the effect of Korean medical treatments on Parkinson's symptoms. An elderly patient was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by clinical symptoms, which were resting tremor, pill-rolling tremor and mild bradykinesia. We treated her disease with Korean medical treatment, including herbal medicine and acupuncture therapy and excluding western medication. For the herbal medicine, Insamyangyeong-tang (人參養榮湯), Bobi-tang (補脾湯), Dokhwaljihwang-tang (獨活地黃湯) and Sipimijihwang-tang (十二味地黃湯) were primarily used. In result, the clinical symptoms, measured by unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) and modified Hoehn and Yahr stage (H-Y stage), of Parkinson's disease in this patient had improved after the Korean medical treatment. This study suggests that Korean medical treatments can be applicable to improve symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease.
