To investigate e effect of antimicrobial ointments on wound healing wound contraction was measured in rabbits with daily application of ointments. Full thickness skin defects(1cm$\times$1cm) were made in three different areas on the back. Percentage of wound contraction based on wound area measured on the day of surgery was calculate every other day until day 9. The percentages of wound contraction in saline and gentamycin solution-treated groups were 86.0% and 75.0%, respectively and higher than those in animicrobial ointments, especially gentamycin cream, silver sulfadiazine and madecasol ointments. It was suggested that the effect of antimicrobial ointments on wound healing were not superior to at of physiological saline in respect to wound contraction in rabbits.

The stability of the properties of magnetite particles in novel medicinal magnetic ointments of multipurpose application was examined by Mossbauer spectroscopy. Comparative analysis of the results obtained by model fitting of $\^$57/Fe nuclei spectra with those known for the system Fe$_3$O$_4$-${\gamma}$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ allowed to identify the phase composition of the particles. This composition, as well as that of the initial pure component in the form of a highly dispersed fraction (∼ 100${\AA}$), differs noticeably from the stoichiometric one. Despite their small sizes, the particles exhibit no superparamagnetism ( in the temperature range from 95 to 300k ). Radiative sterilization of the ointments has no effect on the magnetic component composition.

The author carried out bovine mastitis test by California Mastitis test(CMT) for the milk from dairy cows in the surburbs of Taejeon. In order to select prefer commercial therapeutic antibacterial agents for mastitis treatment, Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from the CMT positive milk and the strains were tested for the tolerance test to the agents. The results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. The tolerance test appeared graduate tolerance in cases with continuously repeat of therapeutic agents. 2. The antibacterial agents revealed strong tolerance were D-and E-ointments. 3. The antibacterial agents revealed suspect tolerance were A-and F-ointments and ampicillin, penicillin, kanamycin and streptomycin. 4. The antibacterial agents revealed non or rare tolerance were B-and G-ointments and chloramphenicol, erythromycin and oxytetracycline. 5, It is concluded that the use of 3-day-interval in turn with antibacterial agents selected by tolerance test may be beneficial.

There are a wide variety of semi-solid ointments used for healing the skin diseases, whose therapeutic and skin penetration abililties may greatly differ from one another depending on the compositions of ointment vehicles. A computer optimization technique was applied to obtain the optimum formula of o/w type ointment giving the in vitro maximum absorption rate through hairless rat skin membrane. Some of the formulations were selected to find out a relationship between skin penetration of ointment and its Theological characteristics. The experimental value of absorption rate obtained from the ointment by optimum formula agreed well with the theoretical value obtained from a polynomial regression analysis, Three kinds of ointments selected among 15 formulations were obtained with a concentric cylinder type rheometer (Model; Rheolab SM-HM Physica, Germany) at 20, 30, 40 and $50^{\circ}C$ for rheograms of rhelolgical properties of o/w type ointments. As the temperature was raised, all products showed a decrease in both shear stress and yield values. The higher skin penetration, the lower shear stress showed.

Water-soluble chitin (WSC) was prepared by carefully deacetylating chitins to about $50\%$ of N-acetyl content. Topical formulations based on WSC were prepared and their effects on wound healing were evaluated on a rabbit ear model. Full-thickness, open skin wounds were made on the ears of rabbits and WSC ointments were embedded in the open wounds. The application of WSC ointments significantly accelerated wound healing and wound contraction. The areas of epithelial-ization and granulation tissues in WSC ointment group are remarkably larger than those in control group (no treatment) and in placebo group (treated with ointment-base materials). A large number of grown granulation tissues including dense fibroblast deposition were observed under the thickened epithelium of the wound treated with WSC ointments. The number of inflammatory cells in WSC ointment group was significantly decreased compared with those in control and placebo groups, indicating that WSC would give low stimuli to wounds and prevent excessive scar formation. Neovascularization was the most prominent in WSC ointment group. Wound contraction in WSC ointment group was much larger than those in control and placebo groups. Overall results demonstrate that the topical formulation based on WSC is considered to become an excellent dressing as a wound healing assistant.

The relationship between powders and apparent logarithmic hardness of ointments were clearly demonstrated. The followings were obtained as the results. 1. Apparent logarithmic hardness of ointment were affected by the powders such as zinc oxide, salicylic acid, soluble starch. and talc. 2. The ointments which are added powder have different two slops, $k_1\;and\;k_2$. 3. The slopes, $k_1\;and\;k_2$ were directly correlated and the critical points, were proportional to $k_1\;and\;k_2$ values. 4. The slope, ka is at least $6{\sim}91$ times more sensitive, than the slope, $k_1$, and 25 times more sensitive in average. It was suggested from the results that the quantity of powers which is added to the ointment must be within the critical point.

Epidermal growth factor(EGF), a potential healing agent for wounds and burns, has been formulated to topical gels with the hydrophilic polymers, Carbopol 934P. Physicochemical c haracteristics of the aqueous gels were evaluated by rheological properties and pH changes on storage. The gels were relatively stable at $4^{\circ}C$ and room temperature showing no changes in pH for two weeks, and revealed the rheogram of shear thinning plastic flow with the yield values in the range of 40 to 70dyne/$cm^2$. In vivo healing effects of different gel formulations have been compared with water-soluble and oleaginous ointments in full-thickness wound mouse model. The gel systems resulted in better wound healing effects than the other ointments. Furthermore, liposomal Carbopol gel has been developed by the addition of EGF-containing liposomal suspension into the Carbopol gel. The enhanced wound healing effects have been observed in the liposomal gel system, compared to the other gels and conventional ointments.

Purpose: Many topical agents had been used for contaminated wound treatment. Although antimicrobial ointments were widely used as topical agents, their comparative antibacterial and wound healing effects were largely unreported. The purpose of this study was to compare antibacterial effects and wound healing effects of common topical ointments on infected full thickness skin defect in the mouse. Methods: One full thickness skin defects in the mice (n=60) were developed on the back and left open for twenty-four hours. Sixty mice were divided into four groups: group B (dressing with Bactroban$^{(R)}$, n=15), group I (dressing with Iodosorb$^{(R)}$, n=15), group T (dressing with Terramycin$^{(R)}$, n=15), group G (control group, dressing with dry gauze, n=15). The size of wound defects and the grades of wound healing were evaluated at 4, 7, 10 days, and antibacterial effect was evaluated with restricted zone in Mueller Hinton agar by disk diffusion method. After the wound was left open for twenty-four hours, many Staphylococcus aureus was cultured. The wound defect size was decreased in order of Bactroban$^{(R)}$ (B), Iodosorb$^{(R)}$ (I), Terramycin$^{(R)}$ and gauze dressing group in all days, but difference among experimental groups was not statistically significant. The grade score of wound healing was increased in order of Bactroban$^{(R)}$, Iodosorb$^{(R)}$, Terramycin$^{(R)}$ and gauze dressing group, and the difference was statistically significant. Antibacterial effect for was increased in order of Bactroban$^{(R)}$, Iodosorb$^{(R)}$, Terramycin$^{(R)}$ and gauze dressing group, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: Topical antimicrobial ointments application was effective against wound infections by S. aureus. Bactroban$^{(R)}$ may be an optimal topical treatment for infected wounds according to this study. However, further study is necessary to evaluate the clinical efficacy of antimicrobial ointments and to search for the mechanisms that explain their effects.

The relationship between temperature and apparent logarithmic hardness of ointments were clearly demonstrated. The followings were obtained as the results: 1. When the ointment base was mixed with additives and heated or cooled at various temperatures, the apparent logarithmic hardness in the first trend before reaching the critical point is subject to change mainly by the contents of the additive while in the secondary trend after reaching the critical point is subject to change mainly by the temperature. 2. No Change in the critical point was observed at different temperatures. It is assumed that the crittical point of such ointment bases has no relationship with temperatures and that the critical point itself should rather depend on the physicochemical properties of the additives.

Stability of the properties of magnetite particles in novel medicinal magnetic ointments of multipurpose application has been studied by M ssbauer spectroscopy. It has been found that the comparative analysis of the results obtained by model fitting of $^{57}$ Fe nuclei spectra with those known for the system Fe$_3$O$_4$-${\gamma}$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ allows to identify the phase composition of the particles. It is noted that this composition, as well as that of the initial pure component in the form of a highly dispersed fraction (~100$\AA$), differs noticeably from the stoichiometric one. From the magnetic hyperfine field despite small particle sizes, the particles exhibit no superparamagnetism (in the temperature range from 95 to 300K). Radiative sterilization of the ointments has no effect on the magnetic component composition.
