The skin is a barrier between the living organism and its environment, and this barrier function resides in the stratum corneum. The main function of the stratum corneum is to serve as a barrier preventing the penetration of irritants and transepidermal water loss(TEWL). The rate of transepidermal water loss is a convenient parameter for expressing barrier function. Impaired barrier function was manifested by a greatly increased rate of transepidermal water loss. In atopic dermatitis the rate of transepidermal water lossis greatly increased transepidermal water loss. Medication of Gagampalmultang restored to normal the abnormally high rates of transepidermal water loss in the 104 patients with atopic dermatitis. It specifically plays an important role in regulating barrier function.

Objective : Skin barrier protects skin against harmful environment. Its function includes antimicrobial barrier as well as physical barrier. But there are few studies about skin barrier function about men and women who don't have skin disease. The aim of this study is to investigate skin barrier function healthy men and women show. Method : There are many ways to measure skin barrier function, but lately transepidermal water loss is mainly used to know skin barrier function. Transepidermal water loss was measured over eight four the Korean twenties and thirties who don't have skin disease from March 14th, 2007 to March 16th 2007. We surveyed cubital fossa and cheek beside nose to measure transepidermal water loss and used vapometer. Result : After analyzed data, we concluded that cheek showed higher transepidermal water loss than cuital fossa. At cheek, the thirties had higher transepidermal water loss than the twenties. The male got higher transepidermal water loss than the female at cheek and in the average. And temperature and humidity effected on transepidermal water loss. Conclusion: In our study, it was observed that temperature and humidity effected on transepidermal water loss. In traditional korean medicine, the inbalance of cold(寒), heat(熱), dryness(燥), wetness(濕) makes many diseases and the inbalance of them induces dameum(痰飮) and the disorder of blood flow. Dameum(痰飮) and the disorder of blood flow make skin diseases made by abnormal skin barrier function in many ways. So we need to study dameum(痰飮) and the disorder of blood flow to take care of patients who have abnormal skin barrier function.

The use of both an Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Citric Acid, and a Skin Moisturizer, Glycereth-26, formulated into a hand dishwashing detergent have been shown to be synergistic in their effects on certain skin health parameters. Each ingredient was evaluated alone and together in a hand dishwashing detergent via a 9-week use test. Panelists washed dishes using the sponge method commonly used in Asian markets and a 1:7 dilution of the concentrated dish detergent. Panelist's hands were evaluated initially and at 3-week intervals for nine weeks. After nine weeks panelist's hands showed significant improvements in Moisture Absorption and Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL). A synergistic effect on TEWL was found between the AHA and the Moisturizer. These effects, showing an improvement in the condition of the panelist's skin are impressive, particularly since they were observed from a dishwashing product that is highly diluted and at near neutral pH during the washing process.

Objective : To study the effect of the Insamyangyoung-tang(ISYT) extract on the skin barrier function, the skin pH, skin humidity and transepidermal water loss(TEWL) were measured and histological changes were observed in DNCB(2,4-dinitrochloro-benzen)-induced contact dermatitis(CD) hairless mice. Methods : The male hairless mice were divided into three groups. Each group consisted of 15 mice. The normal group which had acetone- olive oil applied. The control group which had intentionally induced CD by DNCB and it was fed normal saline orally. The ISYT group which had intentionally induced CD by DNCB and it was fed ISYT extract orally for 7 days. The three groups were checked 24h, 48h and 72h later after inducing CD, and the skin pH, skin humidity and TEWL were observed. Tissue samples were taken, and damage to the epithelial cell was observed. Statistical analysis was performed by using one way-ANOVA: significance was set at p values less than 5% (p<0.05). Results : ISYTextract efficiently maintained the pH balance, it kept the skin humidity at a normal level, and it inhibited TEWL of the DNCB-induced CD hairless mouse. The damage to the epithelium was decreased and the regeneration power of the skin was increased in the ISYT group. Conclusion : Insamyangyoung-tang has a good effect on the skin barrier function of DNCB induced contact dermatitis hairless mice.

본 연구는 PFEG(글루코실세라마이드 4.0% 함유)가 저 미네랄 특수사료(HR-AD)를 섭취시킨 헤어리스 마우스에서 발생하는 피부장벽 붕괴에 대한 억제작용이 있는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 4주간의 투여를 통해 정상군(Rabo MR Stock)과 비교하여 대조군(HR-AD)에서는 경피 수분 손실량(TEWL)이 서서히 상승하여 피부장벽기능의 붕괴가 발생함과 동시에 표피 수분량 및 각층 수분량도 서서히 저하되는 것이 확인되었다. 육안적으로는 깊은 주름 형성이 확인되었으며 조직학적 소견에서는 표피의 비후와 각화 항진이 확인되었다. 그러나 PFEG를 섭취시킨 시험군에서는 대조군에서 유발되는 피부장벽기능 붕괴에 대한 억제 효과가 확인되었다. 즉, 글루코실세라마이드 0.01% 배합군 및 0.1% 배합군에서는 섭취 시작 2주일째 이후 야기되는 TEWL 상승을 완전히 억제하였다. 또한, 저하되는 표피 수분량, 각층 수분량에 대해서도 유의하게 억제하여 피부 보습 기능을 유지하고 있었다. 육안적으로도 깊은 주름 형성은 억제되었으며, 조직학적인 검토에서도 표피의 비후나 각화 항진은 확인되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 HR-1 마우스의 피부 세라마이드 생산 개선에 기인한 결과라고 예상된다. 즉, HR-AD 섭취에 의해 HR-1 마우스는 세라마이드를 포함한 피부 지질의 함량 및 구성에 이상이 생기고, 피부 수분량이 급격히 줄어들어 피부 보습 능력이 저하된다. 그런데 PFEG의 혼합 투여는 손상된 피부의 세라마이드 함량 및 구성을 정상과 가깝게 만들어, 대조군에서 나타나는 증상의 발현을 억제하는 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과로부터 PFEG의 섭취는 피부장벽기능의 손상으로 발생하는 다양한 피부 수분 손실을 억제함으로써 피부 보습 개선에 우수한 효능이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 PFEG가 피부 보습에 도움을 주는 건강기능성 원료로서 이용 가능성이 높음을 확인할 수 있다.

The cutaneous tolerability of detergent formulations can be improved by means of suitable additives. They complex the surfactant molecules lowering the concentration of their free monomeric species. Proteins derivatives used as additives for detergency are usually prepared by partial hydrolysis of plant reserve proteins. The main purpose of the hydrolytic cleavage is to make them water soluble and suitable for liquid products. Water solubility and stability are obtained by means of complexation with surfactants which also increase their actual hydrophobicity, an important parameter affecting cosmetic properties of proteins. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and electric capacitance (EC) have been adopted as investigation technigues to evaluate the skin integrity/damage in vitro tests, The performance of native wheat protein / surfactant complexes has been compared with traditional protein hydrolysates as detergent additives. The results show a noticeable reduction of skin irritation in surfactant formulations with addition of native wheat protein.
