피부와 구강점막에서 발견되는 편평태선은 만성 염증성 질환으로 세포매개성 면역반응이 주로 언급되고 있으나 아직 정확한 원인은 밝혀지지 않았다. 따라서 완전한 치료법은 아직 없으며 증상의 완화를 치료목표로 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 구강편평태선의 일차적인 치료법으로 사용되는 corticosteroid의 두 가지 가글용액의 효과를 비교하였다. 2002년부터 2010년까지 부산대학교 치과병원 구강내과에서 구강편평태선으로 진단받은 환자들 중 corticosteroid 가글용액을 처방받은 환자들 총 180명의 환자기록을 조사하였다. 사용된 두 종류의 가글용액은 각각 dexamethasone(dexamethasone disodium phosphate, 0.05%)과 prednisolone($solondo^{(R)}$)을 포함하는 용액이었으며 약물 사용 후 증상의 완화 및 재발의 시기를 기록하여 분석하였다. Dexamethasone gargle(dexa gargle) 처방군은 33명(여성 25명, 남성 8명), prednisolone gargle(solon gargle)처방군은 147명(여성 114명, 남성 33명)이었으며 환자군의 평균연령대는 50대였다. 약물투여 후 초기 2주이내에 증상이 호전된 경우는 dexa gargle을 사용한 환자군에서 유의성 있게 나타났으나 증상재발의 경우는 두가지 가글용액의 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 구강편평태선 환자에 대한 도포용 스테로이드 가글을 이용한 치료에서 증상의 빠른 호전을 기대하기 위해서는 solon gargle보다는 dexa gargle을 사용할 수 있으나 재발율에 있어서는 두 약물의 차이가 발견되지 않았다.

The prescription sheets for outpatients from July 2008 to June 2009 from 7 community pharmacies in Ulsan City were surveyed for the anti-inflammatory drug (AID) prescription pattern. The AID prescription rate of pediatricians and ENT physicians were 30.0% and 34.8%, respectively. The oral steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (SAIDs) were prescribed as much as 3.9% by pediatricians and 10.3% by ENT physicians. The chiefly prescribed oral SAID was prednisolone in pediatric clinics and methylprednisolone in ENT clinics. Meanwhile the prescription rate of oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) was 22.5% by pediatricians and 21.4% in ENT physicians. The most favorable NSAIDs were propionate derivatives in both clinics. In case of externally-applied SAIDs, the prescription rate of pediatricians was 3.6% and that of ENT physicians was 2.8%. Among them, nasal spray, inhalant and gargle formulations for upper respiratory infection (URI) treatment occupied 35.8% of externally-applied SAIDs in pediatric clinics and 59.7% in ENT clinics. Further, it was observed that ENT physicians favored much stronger SAIDs in Group III of ATC classification (75.4% of externally-applied SAIDs) than pediatricians (49.2%). In the survey of AID combination rate, pediatric clinics showed much lower rate (1.4% of total AID prescriptions) than ENT clinics (7.5%). Among them, the combination rate of oral SAID and oral NSAID by ENT physicians (52.2% of total AID combinations) was much higher than pediatricians (36.6%), which might be over-prescription of AID agents. In conclusion, the AID prescription rate as well as AID combination rate, especially in SAID prescriptions, was much higher in ENT than pediatric clinics, which implies the higher confidency on AID drugs of ENT physicians even though the severity of patient's symptom could be considered.
