091 PROPHYLACTIC EFFICACY OF TRADITIONAL HERBAL MEDICINES AGAINST RECURRENT HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS TYPE ; INFECTION. M.Nakano*‘. M.Kurokawa’. K.Shiraki’. T.N& H.Ohvama2.a ’ and M. ‘I. ‘Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Toyama and ‘Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K., Kanagawa, Japan. Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infections are characterized by the development of recurrent infection. Traditional herbal medicines with anti-HSV-2 activity in viva were examined for their prophylactic effects on recurrent HSV-2 infection in vaginally infected guinea pigs. Herbal extracts or water was orally administered to guinea pigs prophylacticaIIy and external genital skin lesions were daily observed. Herbal extracts reduced the incidence and/or severity of recurrent HSV-2 diseases induced by ultraviolet irradiation as compared with the admiiistmtion of water. They also reduced the incidence and/or severity of spontaneous recurrent HSV-2 diseases. This effectiveness was contiied by the cross-over experiments of herbal extracts- and water-administration to latently HSV-2-infected guinea pigs. Thus herbal extracts exhibited prophylactic efficacy against recurrent HSV-2 disease in guinea pigs.

VACCINATION AND KAPOSI’S VARICELLIFORM ERUPTION. K.Kagami* I, M.Murakami’, H.yasuno2, Skisimotoz. ‘Departmennt of Dermatology, Kyoto First Red Cross Hospital, Kyoto Japan. 2Depertmennt of Dermatology, Kyoto Prefectual University of Medicine, Kyoto Japan. Patients with atopic dermatitis are apt to complicate microorganisims because of its specific dry skin condition. It is well known that Kaposi’s varicelliform eruption mainly caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) for last two decades, because of abolishment of vaccination in Japan, and that eczema vaccinatum had been occurred by vaccinia virus. We stadied the difference of clinical characteritics between eczema vaccinatum and eczema herpeticum.

A WOUND HEALINGMODEL IN ORGANOTYPIC CULTURE OF HUMAN SKIN. Y.Suzuki*', K. Harii’ , N. Huh’,and T. Kuroki’. 'Department of Plastic and Reconstructive surgery, Facultv of Medicene. Tokvo Universitv. Tokvo. Jaoan. 'Depariment Of Biochemistry, Faculty-if Me&&a; Toyama Medical and .PharmaceuticalU"iversity, Toyama, Japan. 'Deoartment of Cancer Cell Reseach, Institute of Medical Science of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. Wound healing is II complex process, in whitch reepithelization occuzs under the control of various growth factors and cell-cell interactions. I" order toex&"e the mechanisms of this process, we have established aninvitro model system for wound healing using an organotypk culture . A rlmmdefect inwidth was made in the center of an organot.ypLc culturetissues,vhitch were further cultivated on another collagen gel. Keratinocytes migrated fromthe wound&e, proliferated and coveredthethe entire surface of the supporting gel by day 3, and the epitheliumras re-established within 7 days. The expression of differentiationmarkers of the new epitheliumras similartothat of the original culture. This process of re-epithelizaio" ves promoted by TGF-a, IL-6, and KGF, and was inhibited by TGF-,91. These results indicate that the present mOde1 system is useful for the mechanistic studies on the process of wound healing.
