Objectives : The aim of this study is to develope Steanming-Drying Cycles for making high-value Black Ginseng and to investigate Physioactivities of BGP (Black Ginseng Pung-gi). Methods : To investigate saponin of ginseng and black ginseng extracts were examined by HPLC. To investigate ani-inflammatory effect of BGP, NO, TNF-α, IL-6 were measured. Also, the anti-obesity effect of BGP is analyzed by adipocyte differentiation. Results : Rg3 of BGP was increased above 10-ford and many low molecular ginsenosides were formed after Steaming-Drying Cycles. Also, BGP inhibited NO, TNF-α, IL-6 and lipid production. Conclusions : BGP might have anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity effects. If futher investigations will be done in the future, BGP could be an attractive herbal medicine source for Yackchim.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory activities of V Yakchim (V), TA Yakchim (TA) and SH Yakchim (SH). Methods : To investigate the anti-inflammtory effects of V, TA, and SH, nitric oxide (NO) production, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated Raw 264.7 macrophages were measured. Results : V, TA and SH (100 μg/ml) decreased 17.2%, 12.7%, and 56.3% of NO production, respectively. V, TA and SH also showed anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting IL-6, TNF-α cytokines. Conclusions : These results suggested the possibility that the anti-inflammatory effect of V, TA and SH.

Objectives : This study is to show the clinical effect of additional CS, V Pharmacopuncture on Herpes Zoster patients. Methods : The patient was treated using CS, V Pharmacopuncture, and other treatments including acupuncture and herbal medicine. The effect of treatment is measured by verbal rating scale (VRS), neuropathic pain scale (NPS). Results : After treatment, the VRS grade is changed from 10 to 2. On the NPS, all contents gradually reduced. Consequently, the patient``s quality of life is improved. Conclusions : These results suggest that CS, V Pharmacopuncture might be a possible therapeutic options for pain induced by Herpes Zoster.

Objectives : This study is to report the clinical effect of pharmacopuncture (Yakchim) on the patients with severe tension-type headache. Methods : Patients were treated with using pharmacopuncture (Yakchim). Pharmacopuncture (Yakchim) was treated into both GB20, EX-HN5, GB21 and some painful points around nuchal line. Results and Conclusions : CA, MOK, V pharmacopuncture (Yakchim) may be effective in treating tension-type headache.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to report the effect of Yakchim and Korean medicine treatment on male pattern alopecia. Methods : Twenty-seven years old male patient who has recently aggravated hair loss in his frontal and parietal scalp lesion was managed by V and HA Yakchim at his frontal area (about 2 times per week), herbal medicine decoction (Hyeongbangjihwang-tang, 2 times per day) and acupuncture treatment (about 2 times per week) for about 5 weeks. Results and Conclusions : After 11 times of Yakchim and Korean medicine treatments, his hair loss was markedly reduced and the hair density of left frontal scalp lesion significantly increased by new hair growth. However, the clinical effect and significance of Yakchim treatment on alopecia should be elucidated by robust randomized controlled clinical trials with relevant comparisons.
