The methodology of constitution diagnosis is main concern in sasang constitutional medicine, but highly reliable method is not yet established. So we statistically analyzed the relationship between the constitution and characteristic factors of skin such as thickness, stiffness, roughness, and touch-feeling, using 1079 clinical data registered to SCIB(Sasang constitution Information Bank), and the following results are obtained: The skin of Taeeumin are more thick or more stiff or more rough than other constitutions. The skin of Soeumin are more soft or more feeble or more feeble-refined than other constitutions. The skin of Soyangin are more slippery or more thin or more slippery-refined than other constitutions. The differences written above were proved to be meaningful enough by Chi-square test.

Objectives In this research, the difference of constipation according to the constitution was identified for healthy adult female, and oriental medical methods for prevention and treatment of constipation was sought by comparing constitution and lift style. Methods Total 604 adult female subjects who were older than 20 years were invited for the research from Apr. 2010 to Oct. 2010, and their constitutions and life style were diagnosed. The collected data was analyzed with computer software of SPSS 19.0. Results In the results, Taeumin group was diagnosed to have the highest number of constipation (p<.017), and they answered with the highest frequency in terms of "eat a lot" and "eat irregularly" (p<.009) than other constitution groups. It was also found that 44.5% of Taeumin eats food very fast (p<.034), and Taeumin drinks lots of water (p<.003). However, Soumin showed the highest frequency of "indigestion" (p<.000) and "fatigue" (p<.003) than other constitution groups. Conclusions In conclusion, life style as well as the innate characteristic of constitution is important for the prevention of constipation. Therefore, it is suggested to understand the inherent differences of constitution and to care health by correctly identifying their own constitution.

Objectives : Sasang typology is extensively studied for the Sasang constitution diagnosis objectification with various data, for example, questionaires, reference materials, etc and analyzed with the several statistical methods. In this study, we used ROC-curve (Receiver Operating Characteristic curve) analysis to diagnose Sasang constitution, which is a kind of epidemiologic research methods and is away from traditional statistical methods. Methods : We collected personality questionnaire which consists of 15 items, from 24 oriental medical clinics. We analyzed the sensitivity and specificity using ROC curve method based on the score of personality questionnaire and also investigated classification accuracy and cut-off value of Sasang constitution. Results : The AUC (area under the ROC curve) value was 0.508 (p=.5511) for Taeeumin, 0.629 (p<.0001) for Soeumin and 0.604(p<.0001) for Soyangin, respectively. so the classification accuracy for Soeumin was highest Soeumin for over 30 points and Soyangin for below 28 points respectively. Conclusions : We suggest that Taeeumin is not classified easily in the ROC-curve analysis. We may classify Soeumin and Soyangin but the accuracy of Sasang constitutional diagnosis is still low.

대부분의 음식에 첨가되는 마늘은 소음인의 이질설사(痢疾泄瀉)에 사용되기도 한다. 마늘은 온성(溫性)을 가지는 채(菜)로서 고자리파리를 통한 자연생태학적인 방법으로 온열성(溫熱性)이 있음을 증명할 수 있다. 산(蒜)은 원래 재래종인 소산(小蒜)을 지칭하는 말이었지만 대산(大蒜)(마늘)이 수입되면서 소산(小蒜)과 대산(大蒜) 모두를 나타내게 되었고, 재래종인 소산(小蒜)이 재배되지 않는 지금에는 산(蒜)이라면 대산(大蒜)을 지칭하게 되었다. <동의보감(東醫寶鑑)>에서 인용한 산(蒜)에 대한 문장중 약간의 오류가 있음을 비교고찰할 수 있다. 단군신화에 나오는 '산이십매(蒜二十枚)'는 '마늘 20개' 가 아니라 '달래 20뿌리'로 번역되어야 할 것으로 사료되며, 활동성이 많은 호랑이에 비해 곰은 겨울잠을 자므로 어두운 동굴에서 양기(陽氣)가 강한 쑥과 달래를 먹음으로서 동물성과 야수성을 물리칠 수 있었고, 양수(陽數)의 극치인 21일만에 인간으로 승화하였다는 단군신화에 대한 한의학적 해석이 가능할 것이다. 제례때 금하는 음식 중의 하나인 마늘은 성욕(性慾)을 일으키며 정신을 흥분시키는 작용을 알 수 있으며, 열이 많은 소양인이나 태음인이 마늘을 날 것으로 많이 복용하면 부작용이 나는 까닭을 살펴보았다.

Objectives : This study aimed to clarify the difference in blood homocysteine levels of acute cerebral infarction patients categorized by Sasang constitutional medicine. Methods : The subjects were recruited from patients admitted to the Oriental Internal Medical Department at Kyunghee Medical Center between October 2005 and May 2007, who were classified as small vessel occlusion (SVO) patients according to the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST). The general characteristics along with total homocysteine levels were recorded and analyzed according to Sasang constitutional medicine. Results : A total of 151 patients were included in the trial. The prevalence of constitution was, in order, Soyangin, Taeumin, and Soeumin. No statistical significance was noted for any characteristic except body weight. There was no significant difference in blood homocysteine levels between constitutions. Conclusion : This study investigated the difference in blood homocysteine levels of acute cerebral infarction patients categorized according to Sasang constitutional medicine. Due to many limitations, the correlation between homocysteine levels and Sasang constitution was not clarified. Nevertheless, this study is significant in that it examined the largest study group to date in Oriental Medicine research history on the relation between stroke patients' homocysteine and Sasang constitution, and can be utilized in future as a basic material. Further research on the subject is needed.

작업자의 기질적 특성, 능력 등을 고려하지 않고 이루어진 작업들은 제조현장의 많은 문제점들이 되고 있으며 이런 결과들은 산업재해 및 직업병의 원인을 제공할 뿐만 아니라 제조경영 관점에서 품질 및 생산성 저하의 결과들을 초래하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 제반 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 중소기업의 작업특성과 사상체질간의 구명을 시도한다. 체질의 기존의 이론인 사상체질(태양인, 태음인, 소양인, 소음인)을 QSCC II와 한의사의 도움으로 실질적인 구분을 실시하고, 체질이론의 공학적 응용의 기존문헌을 고찰한다. 또한 본 연구에서는 농기계 전문생산 업체를 중심으로 특정 사상체질의 작업자 중심으로 주요 작업특성을 해석하고 그 결과 작업자의 체질에 따라 작업특성이 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있다. 한편, 실증적 연구로서 비디오 카메라로 촬영한 작업현장의 장면을 가상현실 장비 및 EEGs를 사용하여 체질변화에 따른 작업자의 뇌파효과를 조사한다. 조사된 뇌파 데이터를 통계분석 처리하여 그 다양한 뇌파 변화의 관계성을 보여준다. 최종 연구결과들은 추후 작업특성간의 비교 연구과정을 통해 기업의 생산성 향상과 품질 증진에 크게 공헌할 것으로 추측된다.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of attitude toward the oriental medicine for 10 years. Methods : A questionnaire was done about general characteristic of patient, the decision-maker of use and the reason of choice or alteration for oriental medicine hospital. Results : The results of this survey are as follows: For 10 years, sex ratio of outpatients is similar, but age distribution is even at all ages. The choice for oriental medicine is more determined by oneself than by others. The recommenders are more variable increasingly. The most common cause of moving from western medicine is to get the more effective treatment. The more the concomitant users are increasing, the more the patients that did not give notice to the western doctor about the dual therapies is increasing, also. The most frequent reason without a notice is "being afraid of western doctor's bias". Conclusions : The appropriate transfer system between oriental and western clinic must be constructed and the proper recognition about dual therapies will be needed among patients and especially dual doctors.

1. Objectives: We report the relation between the questionnaire and the health state on the Sasang Constitution. 2. Methods: We carried out a clinical test, in which 2 Oriental medical doctors participated to diagnose health state in each Sasang Constitution with 239 subjects. The subjects were divided into 3 subgroups, which are allocated to healthy group, poor health group and disease group. 3. Results: We extracted 4 questions for Taeeumin, 5 questions for Soyangin and 3 questions for Soeumin from the whole 98 questions respectively. Soyangin and Taeeumin share a same question that shows significant difference by health status. For the statistical analysis, we used a Chi-square test. As a result, we found out that Taeeumin showed different distributions of answers in direct/indirect characteristic, perspiration, frequent urination, regular defecation. According to the health status Soyangin showed the different distribution of the answers in color of urination, frequent urination, mouth dryness, abnormal perspiration, discomfort of head. Soeumin showed the different distribution of the answers in cold and chilly feel of abdomen, digestion status and cause of digestion problems when body condition gets worse. 4. Conclusions: This is the first work which reports the relatedness between Questionnaire and Health State in each Sasang Constitutions by an objective clinical test. We found out that several questions have different distributions by health status in each Sasang Constitution. These extracted questions are categorized not only by Wansilmoobyung(완실무병), but also by other symptoms and body status.

This paper is written in order to investigate how Lee Je-Ma changed traditional Zhu Xi's philosophical view on Way(Tao; 道) Virtue(De: 德) Nature(Xing;性) and Imperative(Ming; 命), which was general concepts of his contemporary age, to practical philosophy and created new medical theories of Sasang(4 symbols) science from it. Lee emphasized the true thing which is able to be done in one's living not the concepts of Sasang. So he induced the concepts of Way and Virtue from the easy and simple way(易簡之道) in the Classic of Changes(I'Ching) for the purpose of practice by anyone. Because Nature and Imperative are derived from Way and Virtue in the context logically, human life is virtual in itself, so the substance of Nature and Imperative became equal with Way and Virtue. Herein the names and concepts of original 'Sasang' were substituted to Business(事), Mind(心), Body(身), Thing(物) which is able to be directly related with human being in his daily life. And he explained variously about the responses of Mind and Body of individuals onto Business and Thing. So it could be applied in medical aspects like emotional, symptomatical, characteristic features. Conclusively man is virtual being, so Nature and Imperative in the level of Human being are based on Way and Virtue in the level of Heaven. For that reason the new concepts of Sasang Business. Mind. Body Thing or Heaven. Human. Nature and Imperative were proposed.
