There is much confusion in the field of Rhinitis regarding how to best measure disease severity objectively, Therefore, we aimed to establish a new adequate scoring system for Rhinitis, that should be based on comparison analysis of various scoring systems. We report as follows. We researched for data relating to severity scoring systems for rhinitis in Entrez PubMed from 1995 to 2005 and in Kiss Kstudy. Results and Conclusions: Properties of severity scoring systems were validity, sensitivity of change and ease of use. The essential items of severity scoring systems were subjective symptoms. The criterion of severity were divided into subjective symptoms and complication and Quality of Life. Intensity items are nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, sneezing, itching, Postnasal drip, nasal mucosa swelling, nasal mucosa color, complication. Subjective symptoms is difficulty of Life. The significant items of severity scoring system are nasal symptoms. The whole score does with the maximum 30 scores. As it were, we assumed nasal symptoms accounted for around 80% of each total score, with complication and difficulty of Life representing 20%.

Objectives: This study aimed to verify the classification of atopic dermatitis into the digestive and respiratory disorder on the basis of a literature study.Methods: We searched for the term "atopic dermatitis" in KISS, RISS, NDSL, DBPIA, and OASIS. On further filtering the searched paper further by including the terms "Korean medicine", "literature study" and excluding "acupuncture", we found eight papers relevant to the literature study of atopic dermatitis. The reviewed papers included keywords of Oriental medicine such as Sub-yeol (濕熱), Bi-heo (脾虛), Poong-sub (風濕), Hyeol-heo (血虛). We classified keywords as "digestive system" or "respiratory system" and compared the clinical symptoms of classified Each category keywords.Results: Atopic dermatitis was classified into four categories : acute digestive disorder, chronic digestive disorder, acute respiratory disorder, and chronic respiratory disorder. The four categories of atopic dermatitis showed differences based on region, dermal symptoms, associated symptoms, and affected age group.Conclusions and Discussions: This study suggests a new theory of Atopic dermatitis classification. The theory is similar to that stated in former classification; however, it focuses on the digestive and respiratory disroder. All of atopic dermatitis into digestive disorder show both digestive symptoms and dermal symptoms. However, atopic dermatitis into respiratory disorder shows only respiratory symptoms. Thus, this study can establish a relationship between Western and Oriental medicine's study of atopic dermatitis using keywords such as "digestive disorder" and "respiratory disorder".

Objectives : The objective of this study is to analyze the research of Korean medicine for the treatment of sinusitis. Methods : We searched domestic journals for this analysis with the title 'Sinusitis, Rhinosinusitis, Biyeon(鼻淵)'. We searched 'KISS, OASIS, Korean traditional knowledge portal'. Results : Total numbers of searched articles are 103. We selected 14 papers; 5 systematic reviews, 9 clinical trials. Systematic reviews deal with cause, treatment, herbal medicine and acu-points of sinusitis. Clinical trials deal with treatment cases of Korean medicine which are failed to treatment of western medicine which is antibiotics and surgery. Conclusions : Positive effect of Korean medicine on sinusitis is reported but cases are less and research cases are limited. We conclude that well-designed clinical studies are needed.

Skin aging is a natural phenomenon. There are internal and external factors of skin aging. The internal factor of skin aging is from the wearing down of the body over time. The external factors are more noticeable from habits such as smoking, excessive alcohol, malnutrition, and extended exposure to UV rays. Completely stopping skin from aging is impossible but one can slow down and treat external signs of skin aging. In western medicine, the following methods are used to reduce the appearance of skin aging: applying lotions and creams containing ingredients such as fruit acid, antioxidants, plant exracts, depigmentation, moisturizer, retinoids, and sun block; botulinum toxin injections; chemical peels, laser and other painful methods remove the top layer of skin to promote new skin growth; fillers are injected to increase soft tissue growth; surgery.

두드러기는 가려움으로 인해 발생되는 피부상의 상해질환으로써 나이에 관계없이 높은 발병률을 가지고 있다. 한방에서는 만성두드러기의 원인 중 하나로 비위(脾胃)의 습열(濕熱)을 말한다. 소갈탕(升葛湯)은 보비익기(補脾益氣)의 효능을 가지고 있어 비위(脾胃)의 습열(濕熱)을 없애는데 사용되어 왔다. 최근 연구에 의하면 소갈탕(升葛湯)은 재발성 홍반성 두드러기를 효과적으로 억제하는 효능이 있다고 밝혀졌으나 소갈탕(升葛湯)의 항염증효과에 대한 메커니즘은 명백하지 않은바 이에 우리는 BV2세포에 있어서 NO농도, iNOS의 발현정도, $PGE_2$의 생산, 세포생존도, COx-2, $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-12, $TNF-{\alpha}$의 발현을 조사하였다. 그 결과 소갈탕(升葛湯)은 NO, $PGE_2$의 생산을 현저하게 억제하며 iNOS, COX-2, $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-12, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 역시 감소하였고 세포생존도에는 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이상(以上)을 살펴볼 때 소갈탕(升葛湯은 항염증 효과를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있다.

Objective : For various reasons, Obesity & Rhinitis are constantly rising. So Interest of treatment has been expanding. We want to verify The Chungyeol (fire extinguishing) Lisup (Draining) effect of Bangpungtongsungsan on obese model of allergy rhinitis.Material and Methods : BALB/c mouse were divided four groups: control(CON), allergic induction(ARE), Bangpungtongsungsan extract administration(BTT), Bangpungtongsungsan double concentration extract administration (BT2T). Every group except control group were caused allergic rhinitis by Ovalbumin. BTT & BT2T were orally administered the Bangpungtongsungsan for 21days. Since then we observed the liver tissue cell and the nasal mucous membrane.Results : In comparison with ARE, experimental groups show relief of the nasal mucous membrane damage(secretion of mucus decrease, Itching decrease), Th2 eruption control(IL-4 decline), effect of anti-inflamatory(reducing TNF-α creation, decreasing of iNOS through NF-κB activation-inhibition). In addition, experimental groups show a loss in weight, diminished accumulation of fat. (decreasing within liver tissue, reducing TNF-α creation) BT2T is more effective to BTT.Conclusion : Bangpungtongsungsan treat obese model on allergy rhinitis thereby control fat augmentation, relieving inflammation.

In order to investigate the effects of Gudambopae-Tang on allergic rhinitis, laboratory study about cytokines and OVA-specific IgE was perfomed in the present study. The results are summarized as follow; 1. IL4, IL-5 was increased in medicating group than control group. 2. $IFN-{\gamma}$ was increased in medicating group than control group. 3. total IgE and OVA-specific IgE was significant decreased in medicating group than control group, statistically significant. This study shows experimentally that Gudambopae-tang could reduce allergic reaction in allergic rhinitis. Advanced studies are required to investigate the mechanisms of herbal medicine in allergic rhinitis model.

Objectives : Sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL) is defined as an unexplainable decline in hearing which o㏄urs within a short period of time. This study describes a case of SSNHL accompanied by many unfavourable prognosis factors including severe vertigo. Methods : We treated 1 SSNHL patient who had many unfavourable prognosis factors including severe vertigo. After Korean medical treatment for 23 days, we measured the hearing recovery and decrease of vertigo. For diagnosis, pure tone audiometry was done. The degree of improvement was evaluated by Siegel's Criteria. Decrease of vertigo was assessed by Vertigo Scale. Results & Conclusions : The pure tone 5 frequency(0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, $4_{KHz}$) average improved by 25dB(slightly recovered). Vertigo score decreased from 4 to 1. We may expect that the Korean medical therapy improves the hearing recovery in the SSNHL patients who have unfavourable prognosis factors such as vertigo.
