The change of ptosis was evaluated by measurement of palpebral fissure width. The change of gaze palsy and strabismus were evaluated by comparison the photographs of the extraocular movements of patient. Strabismus also was evaluated by corneal reflex test.Results : Gaze palsy and strabismus were improved. Ptosis disappeared after Korean medicine treatment.Conclusions : Korean medicine treatment should be effective for the ocular motility disorders caused by thalamus, midbrain and pontine infarctions.

Objective : Acupuncture has been used for treating eye disease for thousands of years but there are few evidence based medicine (EBM) for its use. This study is a review of Clinical trials related to the treatment of eye disease by acupuncture therapy. Methods : We referred a Pubmed site by using searching word of "eye, acupuncture" (Limits: 10 Year, Clinical Trials, Humans, English). Results : Eight journals with twelve papers were searched. Eight of these studies were randomized and ten trials of acupuncture treatments reported significant effect. On the topic of these clinical trials, five of them were about dry eyes, four about disorder of refraction, two about intraocular pressure and one about visual function. The result of clinical studies represented the significant cure rate. Conclusion : We found that RCTs about the acupucnture for eye diseases were more and more published. But their average impact factor was 2.16 and average modified Jadad score was 3.89, so there needs more qualifying studies.

The Henoch-Schnlein Purpura (HSP) is a systemic small vasculitis, characterized by palpable purpura, abdominal pain, hematuria or proteinuria, and arthritis. The etiology is unknown but it is manifested by allergic reaction, so it is called Anaphylactoid Purpura. The prognosis of disease is usually good, but about 50% of patients have experienced recurrences. Oral corticosteroid is treatment of choice, but it cannot prevent recurrence of Disease. We experienced two case of young patients who suffered from the Henoch-Schnlein purpura. We prescripted Mokyangbinrang-hwan, Insamyang-witang, Gwibi-tang. For both two patient, symptoms were much relieved.

Background and Objective : Bowen's disease is a type of an in situ squamous cell carcinoma. Typical type of Bowen's disease present as a gradually growing well-dermarcated erythematous plaque with an irregular border and surface crusting or scaling. This case demonstrates that Bowen's disease which had a relapse during applying the topical imiquimod can be treated by herbal medicine. Methods : A 72-year-old man patient presented with a erythematous plaque on his right medial malleolar area. The diagnosis of Bowen's disease was based on the clinical features. The chief complaints were scales, fissures, crusts and dryness of skin, erythema plaque, hyperpigmentation, bleeding, tenderness on the lesion. He was treated with Mahaengeuigam-Tang for 77 days. The severity of Bowen's disease was evaluated by visible assessment to determine the end-point of clearance. Results : After the treatment, fissures, crusts and dryness of skin and bleeding, tenderness on the lesion were vanished. Scales and erythema plaque, hyperpigmentation of the lesion little remained. Conclusions : Mahaengeuigam-Tang can be used on the treatment of skin disease which has characteristics plaques and crusts of skin.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of Cheongsimyanggyeoksan(CYS) water extract in vitro and in vivo. Methods : To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of CYS, Raw 264.7 cells were pretreated with $3-300{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of CYS for 1h, and then exposed to $1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of LPS. The cell viability was detected by MTT assay. Productions of nitric oxide(NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured in culture media. Protein levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) and Nuclear factor-${\kappa}$B($NF-{\kappa}B$) were determined by immunoblot analysis. The effect of CYS on acute inflammation in vivo was evaluated thorugh measurment of carrageenan-induced paw edema. Results : In vitro study, cell viability assay CYS treatment of $3-300{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ has no cytotoxicity in Raw 264.7 cells. LPS-induced NO production was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with $30-300{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of CYS. Production of interleukin-6, -$1{\beta}$ and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ by LPS were significantly decreased by CYS pretreatment. CYS reduced LPS-mediated iNOS expression. Moreover, CYS significantly induced $I-{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ expression and reduced $NF-{\kappa}B$ expression. In vivo study, CYS significantly reduced the increases of paw swelling. Conclusions : These results suggest the clinical basis of CYS for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
