This study was performed to analyze the relationship among sebum hydration content of the skin and nutritional intake, serum antioxidant minerals and antioxidant enzymes, and lipid peroxide concentration in 50 female subjects in their 20s. The skin type was divided into Dry Skin, Mixed Skin, and Oily Skin, and the dry skin group was 14%, the mixed skin group was 56%, and the oily skin group was 30% of all subjects. The average age of the subjects was $20.54{\pm}1.43$ years and BMI was 20.66. The average sebum content in each group was in the order of T-zone>forehead>chin>cheek. In case of the T-zone, a significant difference between the dry skin group and the oily skin group was observed, suggesting that the area is most sensitive to sebum content by skin type. Significant differences were not observed in energy and nutrient intakes by skin type. Serum concentrations of antioxidant minerals such as copper, manganese, zinc and selenium were not significantly different among the groups, but the dry skin group tended to be higher than the oily skin group. Serum catalase was significantly higher in the oily skin group (P < 0.05), and MDA was significantly higher in the mixed skin group (P < 0.05). The hydration of the cheek and serum zinc showed a negative correlation, and the sebum content of the cheek and GPx showed a significant negative correlation. The hydration of the forehead and serum copper showed a significant negative correlation, and the hydration of the forehead and GPx showed a significant positive correlation. The hydration of the chin and serum SOD showed a significant positive correlation. With these results, it is considered that the basic condition of nutritional status can affect the skin health.

Objectives : We investigated the correlation of the skin color to blood circulation on the face of Korean female by noninvasive-skin measuring devices. Methods : Korean female(37.47${\pm}$3.66 years, n=36) aged 30-45 years were participated in this study. We measured the skin color of the face with Spectrophotometer CM2600d (Minolta, Japan) and the skin blood flow with Laser Doppler Imaging-Periscan PIM II (Perimed AB, Sweden). The skin color and blood circulation of three groups (30-35 years, 36-40 years, 41-45 years) divided on age were analyzed by paired-t test and regression analysis. Results : The L* values of the skin were decreased and the a* values were increased significantly with age. This means that the more age increase, the more the skin is dark and red. But the skin blood flow was not significantly different with age and skin color. Conclusions : In the oriental medicine, It was reported that the face of the female over 35 years is changed gradually haggard and the blood circulation is decreased. In our study, the blood circulation was not changed and the skin color was dark and red with increasing the age. We think this symptom resulted from the better nutrition than the past, the change of the blood-quality and this changes were too sensitive to be measured by Laser Doppler Imaging system.

Objective : Skin scale(皮膚甲錯) refers to an excessive dryness of skin which can be found under such conditions as blood deficiency(血虛), blood heat(血熱), damp heat(濕熱), the weakness of stomach(脾胃虛) and blood stasis(瘀血). Method : A sensitive and nervous patient showed symptoms of insomnia and chest discomfort as well as skin scale. He had great anxiety over his illness. He, therefore, was diagnosed as blood stasis caused by outburst of emotions and was prescribed Hyulbuchukeotang(血府逐瘀湯) to remove blood stasis in chest. Result and Conclusion : After taking Hyulbuchukeotang, insomnia, chest discomfort and skin scale eased off. Since not only blood stasis but also other factors may cause skin scale, more research on such cases must be done to determine the efficacy of Hyulbuchukeotang for skin scale.

In recent years, the safety of sunscreens has been challenged based on the reports of their adverse effect on users; dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis and photo allergic contact dermatitis. The unscientific idea that higher SPF sunsreen is good for health mealeads many users to tend to prefer higher SPF sunscreen. In the toxicological aspect, the need to investigate the safety of sunscreens is steadily increasing. However, there were few studies on the correlation between sun protection factor (SPF) and the safety of sunscreens. The objective of this study was to assess whether there was a correlation between SPF and the safety of sunscreens. We measured in vitro SPF index using homosalate as a standard and examined the toxicity tests such as primary skin irritation tests, ocular irritation test and skin sensitization test. Homosalate (HS), octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC), octyl salicylate (OS), octocrylene (OC) as UVB organic filter and benzophenone-3 (BP3), butyl methoxy dibenzoil methane (BMDM) as UVA organic filter, and titanium dioxide (TD), zinc oxide (ZO) as inorganic filters were used. The skin irritation indexes in rabbits treated with HS, OMC, OS, BP3, and BMDM were significantly increased as SPF indices were increased. Neither ocular irritation in rabbits nor skin sensitization in guinea pigs were increased. It suggests that there might be a good correlation between SPF and the skin irritation indices of organic UV filters and skin irritation might be one of most sensitive index to assess the safety of sunscreens.

In this study, a reactive emulsifier with vinyl groups was synthesized by using 3-butenoic acid and polyoxyethylene(20) stearyl ether. The synthesized reactive emulsifier was confirmed by FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$. In addition, the reactive emulsifier synthesized in the preparation of aqueous acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives was used and the properties of the respective pressure sensitive adhesives were compared to those of using commonly used nonionic emulsifiers. The solid content was measured in the range of 56.8~57.4%. In the case of the initial adhesion, the S20BA made with a reactive emulsifier was measured as $^{\sharp}13$. Peel strengths of the prepared adhesives were measured in the range of $0.66{\sim}1.05kg_f$ and the highest peel strength was observed for S20BA. As a result of the heat resistance test, S20BA showed the highest as $840^{\circ}C$. In order to evaluate the applicability of adhesives for skin, the pH value was measured as 7, neutral and also it was found to be non-irritation from primary skin irritation test results.

The purpose of this study is to prepare the adhesive type patch containing flurbiprofen, and to demonstrate the feasibility of flurbiprofen administration through the intact skin using adhesive type patch preparation. For this purpose, two pressure sensitive adhesives, Polyisobutylene(PIB) and $Gelva^{\circledR}737$, were selected from the chemical grade of polymers, and the adhesive type patches of flurbiprofen were prepared. The release rate of flurbiprofen from the PIB-based adhesive patch was higher than that from $Gelva^{\circledR}737$ based adhesive patch. The release rate of flurbiprofen from the PIB-based A-type patch with 1.0mm, 1.5mm or 2.0mm thicknesses followed the first order kinetics. In the skin permeation study, using male hairless mouse skin, a monophasic skin permeation profile was observed with 1% flurbiprofen loading dose. The inclusion of palmitic acid or SLS(0.25~0.5%) as an enhancer produced a remarkable enhancement in the skin permeation rate of flurbiprofen, and the percentile ratio of drug and enhancer appeared to be important for the effective enhancement. In the in vivo percutaneous absorption study, the plasma concentration of the optimal formulation was significantly (p<0.01) higher than that of the conventional cataplasma ($Bifen^{\circledR}$). These studies demonstrate a good feasibility of flurbiprofen administration through the intact skin using a transdermal patch, and show a possibility of the development of flurbiprofen patches.
