Objectives : The purpose of this review study is to identify clinical indications of Hwangryunhaedok-tang(HHT) external application and to suggest directions for future research and treatment by analyzing domestic cases applying HHT external treatment except for pharmacopuncture research. Methods : We searched 235 studies published in Korean since 2000 from four domestic databases: Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System(OASIS), Research Information Sharing Service(RISS), Korean Traditional Knowledge Portal(KTKP), and Korean studies Information Service Systems(KISS) using keywords such as 'HTT and external use', 'HHT and external agent' 'HHT and wet dressing', or 'HHT and case'. We excluded duplicate papers, papers related to acupuncture including pharmacopuncture, or papers not related to the topic. Results : We selected and analyzed seven case reports. HHT external agent was used alone in one case, as main treatment in two cases, and as adjuvant treatment in four cases. HHT external application was applied to various skin diseases accompanied by inflammation mainly in the form of wet dressings. Conclusion : HHT external agent may be effective on various skin diseases accompanied by inflammation when applied alone or in combination with other agents according to the treatment stage. Based on this results, further studies will be needed to establish the primary clinical indication of HHT external agent.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the ulmus root-bark dressing on tissue regeneration in experimentally-induced pressure ulcers in rats. Method: A randomized pretest/post-test control group time-series study design was used. Thirty-three male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. The rats were anesthetized with 100mg/kg of ketamine. Pressure ulcers were induced at 140mmHg for three hours using a personally-designed pressing apparatus. For four weeks, the ulmus root-bark dressing was applied every other day in the experimental group (n=18) and a wet gauze dressing in the control group (n=15). For data analysis, the statistical program SPSS WIN 12 was used. The wounds were examined by light microscopy andelectron microscopy. Result: There were significant statistical differences in the size of the pressure ulcers as time went by(p=0.006). It should be noted that there were no significant statistical differences in the number of capillaries. Using light microscopy the inflammatory infiltration and neovascularization in the dermis in the experimental group emerged densely in the early stages, but recovered rapidly at the latter stages. In addition, the reepithelization of the epidermis occurred earlier than in the control group. By electron microscopy, the cell organelles of the capillary endothelial cells and the basal lamina of capillaries in the experimental group showed a more rapid maturation during the latter stages, compared with the control group. Conclusion: According to this study, it can be concluded that the ulmus root-bark dressing is effective regarding the healing of pressure ulcers.

A field experiment was conducted to investigate changes of $NH_4-N$, N uptake, N use efficiency and rice yield by the Latex coated urea(LCU) application on wet-seeding rice from 1994 to 1997. Nitrogen deficiency symptom appeared when LCU was applied as basal dressing continuously until the ripening stage during normal temperature year, but was completed at heading stage during year at high temperature. Percentage recovery of fertilizer N was higher in LCU than in urea but decreased in high temperature. Turn over of N applied as LCU to grain increased more during years high temperature than the normal year. Rice yield with LCU treatment compared to conventional treatment was similar during the normal year but decreased by 6% during year of high temperature. Top dressing of urea at panicle initiation stage in addition to basal dressing of LCU increased rice yield to 12%.

Acne, which intrucdes the pilosebaceous unit, is a chronic inflammatory disease. The symptom of comedones, papules, pustules, cysts, nodules and scar mainly raises on the face, upper back, shoulder and neck. The cause of acne is the secreting growth of sebum, abnormal follicular keratiniziation, the form of group of propionibacterium acnes, and the respones of inflammation etc. But the original mechanism of the cytobiologic level is exactly not known yet. We treated three patients suffered from acne with acupuncture, venesection, Chungsangbangpung-tang, wet dressing with Gamihwangryunhaedok-tang. After treatments we observed the improvement. Based on this study, it is considered that acupuncture, venesection, Chungsangbangpung-tang wet drssing with Gamihwangryunhaedok-tang can be applied to the management of acne.

Purpose: Although Hydrofluoric acid(HF) is not a strong acid when compared to other hydrogen halides, it is a feared corrosive and is particularly dangerous at higher concentrations. HF burns are characterized by symptoms, often delayed and localized with diluted HF solutions, to include erythema, edema and severe pain. Pain, a well known symptom following exposure to calcium binding. And, EMLA$^{(R)}$ cream is a topical formulation based upon the eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine and is used in clinical settings to provide pain relief undergoing superficial surgical procedures. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of EMLA$^{(R)}$ cream, pain - control dressing on the treatment for HF injury wound. Methods: From June 2007 to June 2008, this study was carried out with 10 patients who had HF partial thickness burns. We were applied topically EMLA$^{(R)}$ cream to injured wound with vaseline gauze and 10% calcium gluconate wet gauze dressings. As a principle, in the emergency treatment, partial or complete removal of the bullae along with copious washing with normal saline was done, depending on the degree of HF invasion of the distal digital extremities. The effect of dressing was investigated by visual analogue pain scale. Results: We therefore reviewed 10 cases of HF - induced pain and pain relief treatment principle. The 10 cases who came to the hospital nearly immediately after the injury healed completely without sequelae and EMLA$^{(R)}$ related complications. Conclusion: Proper initial treatment of HF burns are important, if not promptly recognized and properly treated, for produce serious injury. Topical EMLA$^{(R)}$ cream remain a powerful, new advancement for minimizing HF - related pain during dressing procedures. When used appropriately, topical EMLA$^{(R)}$ cream can provide a safe and effective alternative to other forms of HF - pain control treatment.

Objectives : This report is intended to suggest that lentigo can be removed using the cauterization. Methods : Handle of the needle, which is distal part to the tip and shaft, was heated with an alcohol lamp to cauterize the lentigo one by one to form a crust, and wet dressing was applied to the treatment sites by using Hwangryunhaedok-tang pharmacopuncture solution. Results : Ten days after the cauterization, the lentigo was cleared from the normal skin without adverse reactions. Conclusions : The cauterization is a useful technique for removing lentigo, but the conventional method is somewhat inconvenient, so a radiofrequency technique or a laser-based cauterization may be more useful Instead of the traditional cauterization.
