Major symptoms of al1ergic rhinitis are nasal obstruction, sneezing and watery rhinorrhea. Onpyetang has been used to treat for nasal obstruction, which is one of the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. This Experimental study was done to research effects of Onpyetang and transformed Onpyetang(Allii Radix is deducted from Onpyetang) on the anti-allergic effects. We have studied the vascular permeability response induced by serotonin and histamine, the contact dermatitis response induced by picryl chloride, the delayed type hypersensitivity response to SRC, the mice paw edema induced by carrageenin, the writhing syndrome induced by $0.7\%$ acetic acid, and the rectal temperature in febrile rats induced by yeast. The results were as follows : 1. In the vascular permeability response to intradermal serotonin and histamine. Onpyetang proved significant inhibitory effect(P<0.05, p<0.001) But transformed Onpyetang proved significant inhibitory effect only to histamine(P<0.05) 2. In the contact dermatitis response induced by picryl chloride, Onpyetang and transformed Onpyetang proved significant inhibitory effect.(P<0.05, P<0.05) 3. In the delayed type hypersensitivity response induced by SRC, Onpyetang and transformed Onpyetang proved significant inhibitory effect on mice paw edema.. (P<0.05, P<0.05) 4. In the delayed type hypersensitivity response induced by SRC, Onpyetang proved significant inhibitory effect to serum IgE.(P<0.01) But transformed Onpyetang proved insignificant inhibitory effect on serum Ig E. 5. In the mice paw edema induced by carrageenin, Onpyetang and transformed Onpyetang proved significant anti-inflammatory effect. (P<0.01, P<0.01) 6. In the writhing syndrome induced $0.7\%$ acetic acid, Onpyetang and transformed Onpyetang proved significant analgestic effect. (P<0.01, P<0.01) 7. In the rectal temperature in febrile rats induced by yeast, Onpyetang and transformed Onpyetang proved significant anti-pyretic effect.(P<0.001, P<0.01) according to this result Onpyetang was conclude to be effective on anti-allergic, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgestic action. but transformed Onpyetang(Allii Radix is deducted from Onpyetang) was not effective on the vascular permeability response to intradermal serotonin and increasing Ig E of delayed type hypersensitivity response induced by SRC. In addition, transformed Onpyetang is not effective as Onpyetang. More study should be done about the role of Allii Radix.

This experiment was performed to study of Gagambipachungpe-Eum extract solution's effects on acne. Anti-inflammatory edema, anti-histamine, vascular permeability, acne by induced oleic acid, ileum contraction of mice and guinea-pig was measured by oral administration, topical application or both of the sample to the acne of the experimental animals. Dose of samples were taken by 500 and 1,500mg/dl at the experiments. The results were as follows. 1. Gagambipachungpe-Eum on rat hind paw edema induced by $0.5\%$ Carrageenin have statistically significant effects on anti-inflammatory edema at 2, 3(p<0.05) and 4 hours(p<0.01) of the high density 1500mg/kg - oral administration group as compared with sample group. 2. Gagambipachungpe-Eum on rat hind paw edema induced by $1.0\%$ Dextran have statistically significant effects on anti-inflammatory edema at 2 and 4 hours of the high density 1,500mg/kg oral administration group as compared with sample group(p<0.05). 3. Gagambipachungpe-Eum on mouse hind paw edema induced by $1.2\%$% Histamine have statistically significant effects on anti-inflammatory edema at 30, 60 and 90 minutes of the high density 1500mg/kg - oral administration group as compared with sample group(p<0.05). 4. Only high density 1,500mg/kg - oral administration group of Gagambipachungpe-Eum as compared with sample group have significant effects on increased vascular permeability induced by histamine, picryl chloride induced contact dermatitis(p<0.01) and writhing syndrome induced by $0.7\%$ acetic acid(p<0.05) in mice. 5. All of the sample groups, Sample-Ⅰ(orally administered), Sample-Ⅱ(topically administered 500mg/kg), Sample-Ⅲ(topically administered 1,500mg/kg), Sample-Ⅳ(administered simultaneous orally and topically) on acne induced by o1eic acid in rabbit ears has the significant recovery on induced acne after 14 days 6. Gagambipachungpe-Eum have the effects on the motility of the isolated mice ileum, on the contraction induced by acetylcholine chloride and barium chloride in the isolated mice ileum and on the contraction induced by acetylcholine chloride, barium chloride and histamine in the isolated Guinea-pig ileum. According to the about results, it is expected Gagambipachungpe-Eum could be applicable to the treatment of acne.

This experimental research has been done to study the effects of Gmibojungikgi-tang(GBJIKT) on the anti-allergic reaction. We found the several important results from the research which has been performed by two experiments toward immediately type and delayed type in order to study the effects of GBJIKT on hypersensitivity response to mice. The results obtained from our research are as following: The survival rate of one group to which we injected only the compound 48/80 is almost 0% according to its density and timing test. In the other hand, the survival rates of the other group to which we injected both of the compound 48/80 and GBJIKT are 10%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 20%, and 40% according to 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25 0.5 and 1(mg/g) of compound 48/80. Time dependency test also shows the 0% survival rates in 5 and 10 minutes. GBJIKT revealed the significantly inhibitory effect on Compound 48/80 induced Mast cell degranulation. GBJIKT showed the significantly inhibitory effect in the delayed type hypersensitivity response to picry1 chloride GBJIKT showed the significantly inhibitory effect in the delayed type hypersensitivity response to sheep red blood cell. Our research provides the important evidence that GBJIKT is benificial to the prevention and treatment of allergy related diseases.

Wogonin (5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyflavone) is a down-regulator of cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression, contributing to anti-inflammatory activity in vivo. For further characterization of modulatory activity on ploinflammatory gene expression in vivo, the effect of wogonin was examined in this experiment using animal models of skin inflammation. By topical application, wogonin inhibited an edematic response as well as ploinflammatory gene expression against contact dermatitis In mice. Wogonin inhibited ear edema ($19.4-22.6\%$) at doses of $50-200\;{\mu}g$/ear and down-regulated interleukin-$1{\beta}$ induction ($23.1\%$) at $200{\mu}g$/ear in phenol-induced simple irritation. Wogonin ($2{\times}50-2{\times}200{\mu}g$/ear) also inhibited edematic response ($51.2-43.9\%$) and down-regulated ploinflammatory gene expression of cyclooxygenase-2, interleukin-$1{\beta}$, interferon-$\gamma$, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and inducible nitric oxide synthase with some different sensitivity against picryl chloride-induced delayed hypersensitivity reaction. All these results clearly demonstrate that wogonin is a down-regulator of ploinflammatory gene expression in animal models of skin inflammation. Therefore, wogonin may have potential for a new anti-inflammatory agent against skin inflammation.

In this study, we evaluated the bioactivities of methanol extract and its solvent fractions of Sonchus asper (L.) Hill. The EtOAc fraction of S. asper exhibited more strong antioxidant activity than other extracts as evidenced by the strongest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity with a $EC_{50}$ value at $33.55\;{\mu}g/mL$ and reducing power, the total polyphenol (180.71 mg GAE/g) and flavonoid contents (145.86 mg QE/g) of S. asper extract were higher than other extracts. The EtOAc fraction of the S. asper also showed 47.38% mushroom tyrosinase inhibition activity, 56.22% ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition and 46.58% ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibition ratio at 1 mg/mL. Both methylene chloride and EtOAc fractions of methanol extract of S. asper effectively reduced of the 86.34% and 62.03% angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) activity at 2 mg/mL, respectively. These findings suggest that the EtOAc fraction of the S. asper could be a potential antioxidant in food additive, medicinal, and industry product.
