1. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to find out the Anti-Oxidative effects of Soyangin Hyeongbangpaedok-san(HBP) in kidney and spleen cells of aged rats. 2. Methods: Aged rats used in this experiment were 6, 52, 68 weeks old. Each age group was divided into three groups again. One group was given no treatment, another group was dosed normal saline and the other group was dosed HBP decoction. The antioxidant effects of HBP decoction were measured by the levels of SOD, GSH, MDA and NO. 3. Results: and Conclusions: 1) The activity of SOD was significantly increased in kidney cells of 68w-HBP group. Deterioration of the activity of SOD in kidney cells was significantly suppressed according to increasing in age of the week. 2) The level of NO was significantly decreased in kidney cells of 68w-HBP group. Deterioration of The level of NO in kidney cells was significantly suppressed according to increasing in age of the week. 3) The activity of SOD was increased in spleen cells of 52w and 68w-HBP group. 4) The level of GSH was significantly increased in spleen cells of 68w-HBP group.

We have studied some effects of the SOYANGIN-HYEONGBANGPAEDOK-SAN (S.H.P.). Several empirical remarks, depending on the different treatments, are investigated through this study as follow; 1. The Analgesic effects of S.H.P. are remarked by Acetic acid method in mice, 100 and 300mg/kg (Sample II, III), 2. The Antipyretic effect of S.H.P. are remarked by yeast method in rats, 100 and 300mg/kg (Sample II, III). 3. The inhibitory effects of S.H.P. on strychnine induced convulsion in mice is remarked. However the inhibitory effects of S.H.P. on picrotoxin induced convulsion in mice is not observed. 4. The effects of S.H.P. on muscle relaxation in mice, using the Rota-Rod test, is remarked on 1,2,3 hours by 300mg/kg (Sample III).

Soyangin-Hyeongbangpaedok-san(SHBPDS) is used for treating upper respiratory infections, In an effort to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of SHBPDS, we measured production of several cytokines and immunoglobulin in various immune cells. SHBPDS decreased the secretion of TNF-${\alpha}$, but not that of IL-6 in PMA/A23187 stimulated HMC-1 cells. As for mouse B cells, it induced proliferation and caused differential effects in expressions of surface IgE as determined by flow cytometry and secretions of IgE, IgG1, ILA and INF-${\gamma}$as measured by ELISA but showed little change in CD23 or CD69 expression. SHBPDS increased proliferation in anti-CD3/anti-CD28 stimulated CD4 Th cells. Under the Th1/Th2 polarization conditions, SHBPDS at 200 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ suppressed the secretion of INF-${\gamma}$ and IL-4. Based on the above results, we conclude that SHBPDS has antiinflammatory activities in mast cells and different immunomodulatroy effects in B cells and Th cells.

1. Objectives This case is to report that a Soyangin patient with nausea and vomiting treated by Soyangin's Constitutional medications 2. Methods This patient was treated by several Constitutional medications and acupuncture treatment according to the result of Sasang Constitutional diagnosis with western management. We used Visual analogue scale(VAS) for the assessment of nausea and vomiting. 3. Results and Conclusions This patient's chief complants were nausea and vomiting. So he was treated by Soyangin's Constitutional medications(especially Hyeongbangpaedok-san, Dojeokganggi-tang and Hyeongbangsabaek-san) and showed a positive response about his symptom. But then we consider that studies about that case like this are more needed.

Objectives This study is to suggest the herbal bathing and the manual therapy with herbs for obesity patients according to the Sasang constitutional medicine. Methods In this study, first, we found the books, web sites and papers about bathing. And also we classified the herbs those are used each therapy according to the Sasang constitutional medicine theory. Results and Conclusions: We make good used of salts, sulfur or herbal agents inserted into a bath, when we are bathing. And we knew that "The Pinda manual therapy" is a therapy with medical herbs in the West. The Pinda manual therapy is a fomentation therapy with wrapped in cloth and steamed medical herbs. According to Sasang constitutional right to bath in each prescription were as follows. Taeeumin: Taeeumin Galgeunhaegi-tang. / Soyangin: Soyangin Hyeongbangpaedok-san. / Soeumin: Gunggwihyangso-san, Soeumin Kwakhyangjeonggi-san. / Taeyangin: Ogapijangchuk-tang. And also, by Sasang constitution, applicable herbs to the Pinda therapy were as follows. Taeeumin: Seokchangpo, Wonji, Gobon, Gamguk, Sokdan, Wiryeongseon.. / Soyangin: Hyeonggae, Bangpung, Bakha, Ganghwal, Dokhwal. / Soeumin: Kwakhyang, Soyeop, Danggwi, Cheongung, Sesin, Jinpi. / Taeyangin: Ogapi, Mokgwa, Nogeun, Gyomaek. It will be need to more study for effective clinical applications.

Soyangin-Hyeongbangpaedok-san(SHBPDS) is a herbal formula used for the common cold or upper respiratory illness. In order to investigate the effect of SHBPDS, mice were orally administered with SHBPDS alcohol extract for 7 days followed by intravenous anti-CD3 injection. In addition, splenocytes and CD4 T cells were cultured with SHBPDS in response to anti-CD3 in vitro and cytokines and transcription factors were evaluated. In vivo treatment with SHBPDS significantly augmented the expressions of the percentage of CD4 T cells and CD 69, an indicator of early T cell activation. Serum levels of IL-4 were significantly increased but those of IFN-${\gamma}$ and IL-2 did not reach statistical significance. The expressions of IFN-${\gamma}$ and T-bet mRNA were significantly downregulated in SHBPDS treated mice while those of IL-4 and C-Maf were significantly upregulated. In vitro stimulation of splenocytes and CD4 T cells by SHBPDS resulted in a reduction in IFN-${\gamma}$ secretion and STAT4 activity. The IL-4 releases from both cells were slightly reduced, but STAT6 activity was rather increased. In conclusion, SHBPDS exerted an inhibition in the expression of IFN-${\gamma}$, T-bet and STAT4 while IL-4, C-Maf and STAT6 were increased. Further studies are required to examine its pharmacological effects using more appropriate animal experiments.

Objectives Adverse reactions can becaused by contrast media used in computed tomography. The aim of this study was to report the improvement of allergic response caused by contrast media after treatment with Modified Hyeongbangpaedok-san, histamine antagonists and steroids. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records. The patient's subjective symptoms such as rash and pruritus were evaluated by the range of rash and numeric rating scale(NPS). Results All symptoms showed nearly complete remission with continued Korean traditional medical treatment. Conclusions A female patient had been injected with contrast media for Computed tomography(CT) evaluation of lung cancer. Rash and pruritus appeared 1 day after injection. We prescribed Modified Hyeongbangpaedok-san. Patients were treated with both Korean medicine and Western medicine. Consequently, the symtoms were improved significantly after combination treatment of Korean medicine and Western medicine.
