Hyunggyeyungyotang has been used for treatment of sinusitis and otitis media in oriental medicine since ancient times. It is reported that Hyunggyeyungyotang has good effects on inflammatory and allergic diseases of otorhinolaryngology in clinical medicine. Kamihyunggyeyungyotang was made by adding several herbs to Hyunggyeyungyotang which has such good effects. To investigate the effects of Hyunggyeyungyotang and Kamihyunggyeyungyotang on inflammatory, algesic and allergic diseases, the author examined the analgesic effect by acetic acid reaction, studied the anti-inflammatory effect through the experiments of the protein thermo-denaturation and circumscribed edema. Besides researched the anti-allergic effect through the vascular permeability response to Chemical Mediator and the delayed type hypersensitivity response to Picryl Chloride. The obtained results were as follows ; 1. In the analgesic effect of Hyunggyeyungyotang and Kamihyunggyeyungyotang extract by acetic acid method, both of the sample groups showed the analgesia, but didn't show useful effect. 2. In the anti-inflammatory effect on the protein thermo-denaturation, the sample groups revealed the inhibitory effect in proportion to concentration as compared with the control group. 3. In the inhibitory action on circumscribed edema induced by Caraggeenin, both of Hyunggyeyungyotang and Kamihyunggyeyungyotang administration showed the significant effect after 4 hours in comparison to the control group. 4. In the delayed type hypersensitivity response to Picryl Chloride, both of the sample groups revealed the significant effects. 5. Both of the sample groups decreased the vascular permeability induced by Histamine in comparison with the control group, but the significancy was admitted in only Hyunggyeyungyotang administration. According to above results, Hyunggyeyungyotang and Kamihyunggyeyungyotang are considered to be used for treament of the inflammatory diseases including sinusitis.

The author measured IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 levels of 22 ears-11 ears of them had treated by antibiotics, 11 of them by Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang-of pediatric recurrent otitis media with effusion using ELISA assay, and compared them. The results were obtained as follows. 1. The level of IgG1 in Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang group was significantly higher than that in antibiotics group(P=0.002). 2. The level of IgG2 in Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang group was higher than that in antibiotics group(P=0.178). 3. The level of IgG3 in Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang group was higher than that in antibiotics group(P=0.215). 4. The level of IgG4 in Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang group was higher than that in antibiotics group(P=0.198). According to above results, Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang is considered to be used for treatment 'recurrent otitis media with effusion' by controlling the production of immunoglobulins.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of oriental medical treatment on a sinusitis patient Methods : We treated a 56-years old man patient with sinusitis. His symptoms are Ozena, Postnasal drip, Cough, sputum, nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea and Headache. The patient was treated with herb-med(Kami-Hyunggyeyungyotang,加味荊芥連翹湯), acupuncture, aroma oil therapy. During about a month, the patient was treated only with oriental medical treatment and without any of western medicine including antibiotics. We confirmed the progress of treatment with subjective symptoms, physical examination and radiographic inspection(PNS image). Results & Conclusions : After one month, Combined application of the oriental treatment including Kami-Hyunggyeyungyotang showed remarkable effects on subjective symptoms, physical examination and radiographic inspection(PNS image). This study show that Kami-Hyunggyeyungyotang effects on sinusitis.

The author measured IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$ and total protein(TP) level of middle ear effusion(MEE) of 24 ears - 13 ears of them had treated by antibiotics, 11 of them by Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang - of pediatric recurrent otitis media with effusion(PROME) using ELISA assay, and compared the level of cytokines(pg/ml)/TP(mg/dl). And investigated the clinical finding in those children. The results were obtained as follows: 1. The level of IL-2／TP in Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang group was significantly higher than that in antibiotics group(P〈0.05). 2. The level of IL-4/TP in Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang group was significantly higher than that in antibiotics group(P〈0.0l). 3. The level of IL-6/TP in Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang group was significantly lower than that in antibiotics group(P〈0.05). 4. The level of TNF-${\alpha}$/TP in Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang group was significantly lower than that in antibiotics group(P〈0.01) 5. 79.1% of children with recurrent otitis media with effusion(ROME) were also complicated to chronic sinusitis. The children's t-test was used to make a statistical comparison between the groups. According to above results, Kami-hyunggyeyungyotang is considered to be used for treatment 'recurrent otitis media with effusion' by control produce of cytokines which are connected with inflammatory reaction.

Objectives : The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate effectiveness of oriental medical treatment for sinusitis in the two overweight children. Methods : This study was performed for two 5-years old of age and overweight (BMI>90th percentile) children with sinusitis who visited the clinic. The symptoms of sinusitis are rhinorrhea, poor sleep due to nasal congestion, cough, sputum. Oriental herb medicines(Kami-Hyunggyeyungyotang and Kami-Cheonggeumganghwatang), moxibustion, nebulizer and aroma nasal spray were treated to two children. The progress of treatment for sinusitis was evaluated through the subjective symptoms and endoscope inspection. Results & Conclusions : After oriental medical treatment, the subjective symptoms and endoscope inspection were improved in all two children. Our results suggested that oriental medical treatment have effective to alleviate the symptoms of sinusitis in overweight children.

The author measured IL-8 and $TGF-{\beta}1$ levels of 84 ears - 48 ears of them had treated by antibiotics, 36 of them by Kamihyunggyeyungyotang(KHY) - of pediatric recurrent otitis media with effusion using ELISA assay, and compared them. The results were obtained as follows. 1. The level of IL-8 in KHY group was significantly lower than that in antibiotics group(p<0.05). 2. The level of $TGF-{\beta}1$ in KHY group was lower than that in antibiotics group. According to above results, KHY is considered to be used for treating recurrent otitis media with effusion by controlling the production of interleukin-8 and transforming $growthfactor-{\beta}1$.
