Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and allergic skin disease; however, there no cure for the disease. Red ginseng well known to have anti-AD potential, while red marc (RGM) remaining after extraction regarded as useless discarded. However, it has recently been reported that RGM, particularly fermented RGM (fRGM), still contains bioactive properties. Thus, anti-allergic effects of fRGM were exa...

cytic leukemia, either at initial presentation or in subsequent relapse, was determined among 64 patients by recall-antigen skin testing and in 37 patients by attempted sensitization with dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). Thirty (46.9%) of the 64 skin-test batteries displayed reactivity to at least one established antigen, and 17 (51.5%) of the 33 evaluable patients were successfully sensitized with...

To assess the extraction methods of egg yolk oil in ShiZhenKang (SZK) oil, which is used to treat eczema, a mice model of eczema was established by using 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). The therapeutic effects of egg yolk oil extracted by different methods from SZK oil on the model of acute eczema in mice were evaluated. The oil yield rate of ethanol extraction is 42.06%. Its egg yolk oil is o...

Twenty consecutive patients with Hodgkin disease in continuous complete remission and off treatment for at least 5 yr (range 5-25 yr, median 9 yr) were studied with a battery of immunologic parameters. Skin test reactivity to four common antigens, sensitization to 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene, absolute lymphocyte count, relative percentage of T cells (as measured by spontaneous rosette formation wi...
