The purpose of this study is to help classifying Sasang Constitution through correlation with sound characteristic. This study was done it under the suppose that Sasang Constitution has correlation with sound spectrogram. The following result were obtained about correlation between sound spectrogram and Sasang Constitution by comparison and analysis 1. Soeumin answered his voice low tone, smooth and quiet in the survey. Soyangin answered his voice high, clear, fast and speaking random. Taeumin answered his voice low, thick and muddy. 2. Taeyangin was significantly slow compared with the others in the time of reading composition. Taeyangin was significantly slow compared with the others in Formant frequency 1. Taeyangin was significantly discriminated from Soeumin in Formant frequency 5. Taeyangin was significantly low compared with the others in Bandwidth 2. Soeumln was significantly low compared with Taeyangin in Pitch Maximum and Pitch Maximum-Pitch Minimum. Taeyangin was significantly high compared with the others in Energy mean. 3. In list of specification, the discrimination rate was higher than that by lists of 13 in the results of Multi-dimensional 4-class minimum-distance. The discrimination rate of three disposition except Soyangin was higher than that of four disposition in the results of One way ANOVA and Analysis of dis crimination in SPSS/PC+. In CART, the estimate rate of Sasang Constitution discrimination was higher than any other method. It is considered that there is a correlation between sound spectrogram and Sasang constitution according to the results. And method of Sasang constitution classification through sound spectrogram analysis can be one method as assistant for the objectification of Sasang constitution classification.

1. Purpose and Method : We have many difficulty of using the existing medical Hurbs based on the theory of Em-Yang and the five elements, this is why we still do not explain the Sasang Constitutional medical Hurb Classification and do not have the Sasang Constitutional Pharmacology exactly, so we easily enter into a dispute and confusion. So through literary consideration about Acorus gramineus Soland. I try to objectify Sasang Constitutional Classification of Acorus gramineus Soland and the spirit of using Acorus gramineus Soland and common property of Sasang Constitutional Medical Hurb and try to find out a clue that search the effect of other Sasang Constitutional Medical Hurb. 2. Result : Qi(氣) and mi(味) of Acorus gramineus Soland have aroma and hot taste and have won Qi(溫氣), the using portion of Acorus gramineus Soland is root as medical Hurb. So Acorus gramineus Soland rise from Goonghacho(中下焦) to Sangcho(上焦) and divied impurity and purity and able to remove the turbidity Qi(氣)Ack(液) Acorus gramineus Soland have the effect of progressing the involution of Paeqi(肺氣) and divided impurity and purity of Qi(氣) and ack(液) and improve the fuction and structure of Tae-Em-ln. I think that the method of literay consideration on objectification of Sasang Constitution Pharmacology is of great value.

Purpose and Method : We have many difficulty of using the existing medical Hurbs based on the theory of Yin-yang and the five elements, this is why we still do not explain the Sasang Constitutional medical Hurb Classification and do not have the Sasang Constitutional Pharmacology exactly, so we easily enter into a dispute and confusion. So through literary consideration about clematis mandshurica Maxim. I try to objectify Sasang Constitutional Clasification of Clematis mandshurica Maxim and the spirit of using Clematis mandshurica Maxim and common property of Sasang Constitutional Medical Hurb and try to find out a clue that search the effect of other Sasang Constitutional Medical Hurb. Result : Qi(氣) and mi(味) of Clematis mandshurica Maxim has bitter and hot taste and have won Qi(溫氣), the color is dark, the using portion of clematis mandshurica Maxim is root as medial Hurb. So Clematis mandshurica Maxim fall down from lung and divied impurity and purity and able to remove the symptom that dryness and fever is solidified like Magnoliae cortex(厚朴). Clematis mandshurica Maxim have the effect of awakening Jin-Qi(眞氣) of lung and divide impurity and purity of Qi(氣) and ack(液) and improve the fuction and structure of Taeumin(太陰人) I think that the method of literay consideration on objectification of Sasang Constitution Pharmacology is of great value.

Recently some report has been published on the classification of Sasang constitution by analysis of genetic polymorphism. In this study, to present the ideas in the study on the classification of Sasang constitution based on the genetic variation of individuals, we reviewed the previous studies dealing with relationship between genetic polymorphism and Sasang constitution and suggested new molecular biological methodologies applicable to the classification of Sasang constitution. The results were as follow; 1. In the studies on the classification of constitution by analysis of genetic polymorphism, the special genes were desirable as subjects rather than the non-functional part of genome such as inter-gene and intron. Since microsatellite is usually located in inter-gene or intron, representation of constitutions may not associated with the polymorphism of certain microsatellite. 2. It may possible that polymorphism patterns of the genes related to the expression of individuality is associated with the types of Sasang constitutions. Therefore, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) which known have some role in the determination the human performance is one of the candidate genes can use for the classification of Sasang constitutions. 3. It is well known that HLA types are very variable in human and closely associated with the determination of susceptibility for certain disease. The studies on the polymorphism of HLA types may applicable to the classification of Sasang constitutions. 4. DNA chip technique which developed recently for the analysis of the expression of human genes may powerful tools in the study of Sasang medicine.

연구목적 : 사상의학(四象醫學)은 인간을 태양인(太陽人), 태음인(太陰人), 소양인(少陽人), 소음인(少陰人)으로 구분하여 동일한 병증에 대해서도 치료를 달리하는 의학이다. 즉 인간을 동일한 원리로 설명하는 것이 아니라 각 체질에 따른 차등성을 통해 각 체질 취약점의 보완을 추구하는 의학이다. 그러면, 무엇이 이러한 인간 구분의 단서가 되었으며 이것이 의학으로까지 적용되는 과정 즉, 사상의학의 성립 과정을 살펴 보는 것을 연구 목적으로 한다. 연구방법 : 동무(東武) 이제마(李濟馬)의 저술로 인정되는 "격치고(格致藁)", "동무유고(東武遺藁)", "동의수세보원(東醫壽世保元)"의 문헌적 자료와 각 편의 저술시기를 통해 동무(東武) 이제마(李濟馬)의 사고의 흐름과 변화를 통해 사상의학이 성립되는 과정을 살펴 보는 문헌적 조사방법을 이용하였다. 연구 결과 및 결론 : 이상의 결과를 통해 아래의 연구 결론을 구하였다. 1. 동무(東武)는 "맹자(孟子)"의 사부지심(四夫之心)을 근거로 인간을 심욕에 따라 비인(鄙人), 박인(薄人), 탐인(貪人), 나인(懦人)으로 구분하였고 인의예지의 사단을 장부에 배속하여 심욕을 몸에 적용하였다. 그러나 "격치고(格致藁)"의 비인(鄙人), 박인(薄人), 탐인(貪人), 나인(懦人)과 "동의수세보원(東醫壽世保元)"의 태소음양인(太少陰陽人)의 직접 연결은 동무 사고의 시간적 흐름을 고려하지 않은 것이며, 동무는 "동의수세보원(東醫壽世保元)" "사단론(四端論)"과 "확충론(擴充論)"을 통해 비박탐라인(鄙薄食懦人)의 심욕(心愁慾)과 태소음양인(太少陰陽人)의 정기(情氣)를 매개로 하여 비인(鄙人)은 태양인(太陽人), 탐인(貪人)은 태음인(太陰人), 박인(薄人)은 소양인(少陽人), 나인(懦人)은 소음인(少陰人)으로 설명함을 확인할 수 있었다. 2. "격치고(格致藁)" "독행편(獨行篇)"과 저술 연도가 동일한 "동무유고(東武遺藁) 교자평생함(敎子平生箴)"을 통해 의학적 사고의 성립을 살펴보면, 동무(東武)의 차등적 장리(臟理)는 희노애락의 성정(性情) 구분이 장리(臟理)의 차이로 발전한 것이 아니라 장부(臟腑) 강약(强弱)에 대한 인식이 선행되고 이를 희노애락(喜怒哀樂)으로 설명하였으며, 또한 "동의수세보원(東醫壽世保元)"의 장부(臟腑) 대소(大小)는 강약(强弱)에 근거한 개념임을 알 수 있었다. 3. 사상의학(四象醫學)의 의학적 설명 도구는 희노애락(喜怒哀樂)이다. 희노애락은 비박탐라(鄙薄貪懦)와는 달리 선악(善惡)의 가치 판단이 들어있지 않으면서 기의 승강을 나타낼 수 있는 중용적 설명 도구로 동무가 의학을 설명하기 위한 최선의 도구였다. 사상의학(四象醫學)에서의 희노애락(喜怒哀樂)은 증치의학(證治醫學)의 음양오행(陰陽五行)의 역할과 같은 것이다. 4. 희노애락(喜怒哀樂)은 "동의수세보원(東醫壽世保元)"에서 성(性), 정(情), 기(氣)로 설명되는데 희노애락의 성(性)과 정(情)은 장부 대소를 설명하는 근거로 체질마다 다른 장국 형성을 가능하게 하고 또한 각기 표기(表氣)와 리기(裏氣)를 손상(損傷)하는 것으로 설명되었다. 희노애락(喜怒哀樂)의 기(氣)는 기(氣)의 승강(升降)을 설명하는 근거로 애기(哀氣)와 노기(怒氣)는 양(陽)으로 직승(直升)과 횡승(橫升)하고 희기(喜氣)와 락기(樂氣)는 음(陰)으로 방강(放降)과 함강(陷降)한다. 이러한 희노애락은 순동역동(順動逆動)의 특성과 상성상자(相成相資)의 특성을 지니는데 희노애락(喜怒哀樂)의 상성상자(相成相資)는 사상의학 고유 개념으로 사상인병증론(四象人病證論)에서 언급하고 있는 성정(性情)과 심욕(心慾)의 편급까지 영향을 미치는 중요한 단서이다.

Objectives: This study aimed at comparing Sasang constitutional medicine(SCM) with other constitutional theories of the world. Methods: From PubMed database, we first searched all papers using the term 'constitution', then filtered those having really constitution-focused papers. Then, they were analyzed to compare each constitutional theory and medicinal practice. Results: There were five constitution-related medicines which have been practiced in medical field: Sasang, iridology, somatotype, dermatoglyphics and Ayurveda. There was the largest number of scientific researches for dermatoglyphics while the smallest number of papers was for SCM. The other three constitutional theories were based on anatomic/histologic difference between types in contrast to SCM and Ayurveda, which relied on inherited functional differences of four or three internal organs. Conclusions: This study simultaneously compared five major constitutional theories currently practiced as medicines in the world. We found that even as SCM seems to have the most potential as therapeutic medicine it should be studied more using scientific methodologies to be a world-wide medicine.

Sasang Constitutional Medicine is the constition medicine and the basis which constitution reveals is the distinction of the nature and emotion. Therefore the theory of the nature and emotion is the foundation which Sasang Constitution Medicine is coming into being. The author studied the progress that the distinction of the nature and emotion was formed and analized the phenomenon presented by the distinction of it as the principle of the movement of Yin and Yang. The results are following; 1. The beginning of the operation of the nature begins from some one part(cho ; 焦) among four part. That consists of the first factor of constitution-revelation. In accordance with the distinction of the nature, the second factor, that is the distinction of the emotion is determined and the united distinction of the nature and emotion presents the Sasang constitution. 2. The operation of the nature and emotion is the movement of Qi by the property of Yin and Yang and that is the phenomenon presented by the logical and scientifical law. 3. The ontology of Lee Je-ma is Qi-monism. 4. Four emotion(Sorrow, Anger, Joy, Presure) are not partional concept of the emotion but total concept which include all of it.
