1. Objectives The objective of this study is to offer some standards for the distinction of Sasang Constitutions through analyzing the characteristics of their body shapes that are classified by BMI. 2. Methods The subject of this study were 1341 female and 927 male patients who aged from 17 to 80 in Seoul, Pusan, Daeku and Jeonju. They were treated with Sasang Constitutional medicine. 8 circumferences, 5 widths, weight, height of their body were measured with measuring tape, large sliding caliper, scale and anthropometer. Collected 15 anthropometric datas were analyzed by Analysis of Contingency table, ANOVA and Duncan test. 3. Results (1) The Body shapes according to obesity grade are classified Underweight type that BMI is less than 18.5, Normal weight type that BMI is $18.5{\sim}23.0$ and Overweight type that BMI is mote than 23.0. (2) Soeumin represents Underweight type and Taeeumin represents Overweight type regardless of gender differences. Soeumin stands for Normal weight type in women and Soyangin stands for Normal weight type in men. (3) In case of Underweight type, 13 measurements are not suitable to estimate Sasang Constitutions regardless of gender differences. (4) In case of Normal weight type, 12 measurements except for W3 in women and W7 in men are suitable to estimate Sasang Constitutions. And there are no gender differences in Soyangin and Soeumin, but there are gender differences in Taeyangin and Taeeumin. (5) In case of Overweight type, 9 measurements except for C2, C5, C6, W7 in women and 12 measurements except for W3 in men are suitable to estimate Sasang Constitutions. And there are no gender differences in 4 Sasang Constitutions. 4. Conclusions From the above results, we have to consider not only gender differences and age groups but also obesity grade when we distinguish Sasang Constitutions.

The pulse diagnosis is an important and universally used method in Oriental Medicine. Since the traditional method of palpating the pulse relies on the subjective sense in the fingers of an Oriental Medical Doctor(OMD), there has been continued need for more objective method for pulse diagnosis. Recently, various pulse analyzers have been developed to meet such objective palpation and interpretation. However, most of these attempts were not successful to replace OMD's own palpation by fingers. To improve the performance of the pulse analyzers, one should develop machine-appropriate interpretations for the pulse images in the literature, in addition to the improvement in the repeatability and reproducibility. One of such widely-used pulse images to be interpreted is the floating and sinking pulse. The floating and sinking pulses are the two representative pulse images informing us how strong pressure one should apply to obtain the maximal pulse strength. A previous study suggested a convenient and unified measure for the floating and sinking pulses by defining the coefficient of the floating-sinking pulse(CFS). We found the original definition of the CFS could be erroneous under some situations. To improve the performance, we introduce new CFS algorithm for determining the floating and sinking pulse with a pulse analyzers(3-D MAC). To test the performance of the newly suggested algorithm, we conducted a clinical study comparing the agreement ratio with the floating and sinking pulse diagnosis by the OMDs. We found that, among the subjects who are diagnosed with having either the floating pulse or sinking pulse, the new CFS algorithm showed 55.3% diagnosis rate and 73.0% concordance rate, which are about 3% and 6% improvement in the diagnosis rate and agreement rate, respectively, compared to the original CFS algorithm.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to find correlation between food IgG serum and food classification for Sasangin match. Methods We recruited 10 Soeumin, 10 Soyangin, 10 Taeumin. We did a survey about food intake and obtained their blood samples. We detected IgG antigen reaction of 66 different foods using IgG exclusive Microarray assay. Results We found that IgG value of foods were correlated with Sasangin. Pork, shrimp and black tea has showed significant differences by constitution. The IgG response of the food according to the constitution and frequency of intake was found to be significantly correlated with those of banana, chestnut, citrus, milk, mushroom, cucumber, barley, corn, pineapple, honey and abalone. Conclusions The result of this study was partially matched to food classification for Sasangin.

Background: Those classified as Tae-Eum (TE)-type people in Sasang constitutional medicine (SCM) are prone to obesity. Although extensive clinical observations have confirmed this tendency, the underlying physiological mechanisms are unknown. Here, we propose a novel hypothesis using integrative physiology to explain this phenomenon. Methods: Hypoactive lung function in the TE type indicates that respiration is attenuated at the cellular level - specifically, mitochondrial oxygen consumption. Because a functional reduction in cellular energy metabolism is suggestive of intrinsic hypoactivity in the consumption (or production) of metabolic energy, we reasoned that this tendency can readily cause weight gain via an increase in anabolism. Thus, this relationship can be derived from the graph of cellular metabolic power plotted against body weight. We analyzed the clinical data of 548 individuals to test this hypothesis. Results: The statistical analysis revealed that the cellular metabolic rate was lower in TEtype individuals and that their percentage of obesity (body mass index >25) was significantly higher compared to other constitutional groups. Conclusion: Lower cellular metabolic power can be an explanation for the obesity trend in TE type people.

피부색 검출 기법은 안면 정보를 이용한 체질 진단 및 건강 진단, 인간과 로봇과의 상호작용, 영상 검색 시스템 등 다양한 응용분야에서 사람의 얼굴과 손의 검출을 위해 많이 사용되어 왔다. 비디오 영상의 경우 조명이나 환경 변화에 강인한 피부색 영역의 추적을 위해 매 프레임마다 대상 영역의 피부색 모델을 업데이트 하는 것이 일반적이나, 단일 영상에서 피부색 영역을 검출하거나 비디오 영상의 첫 프레임에서 피부색 영역을 검출할 때에는, 많은 연구들이 하나의 고정된 피부색 모델을 이용하기 때문에 입력 영상의 특징에 따라 낮은 검출율이나 높은 긍정 오류율이 발생하는 경우가 많다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 피부색 검출 결과를 피드백 받아 피드백 받은 정보를 바탕으로 피부색 검출 조건을 수정하는 과정을 반복함으로써 다양한 환경 조건들을 가지는 단일 영상에 대해 효과적으로 피부색을 검출할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

얼굴의 윤곽선을 검출하기 위해서는 일반적으로 입력 영상에 직접 동적 윤곽선 모델(Active Contour Model)을 적용하는 방법을 많이 사용한다. 그러나 동적 윤곽선 모델은 초기의 위치 설정과 사용되는 에너지 함수의 계수 값에 따라 성능에 영향을 받기 때문에, 다양한 조명조건과 환경조건에 따라 최적화된 파라미터들을 설정해야 하는 번거로움이 있다. 또한 섬세한 윤곽선의 검출을 위해서는 모델에서 사용되는 정점의 수를 증가시켜야 하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점들을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 입력영상의 분할된 영역에서의 히스토그램 분석을 통하여, 얼굴 영역과 배경 영역의 픽셀 값을 구분할 수 있는 임계값을 자동으로 찾아, 얼굴의 윤곽선 영역을 검출하는 접근 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 입력 영상의 분석을 통하여 얼굴의 윤곽선 영역을 검출하기 때문에 다양한 조명과 배경 조건하에서도 높은 성능으로 얼굴의 윤곽선 영역을 검출하였다.

현대인들은 매운 음식을 선호하며 매운 음식을 섭취함으로써 스트레스 해소를 위해 매운맛을 찾는 사람들이 증가하고 있다. 그러나, 매운 음식을 먹었을 경우, 사람마다 차이는 있지만 얼굴색이 빨갛게 변하는 것을 시각적으로 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 매운 음식을 섭취했을 경우, 사상체질에 따라 얼굴 영역별 색상 변화를 측정하고 이를 비교, 분석하는 실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 체질감별 설문 검사지를 통해 사상체질별로 피실험자 집단을 구성하고 대표적인 매운 음식인 청양고추 1개씩 섭취하기 전과 후의 얼굴 영상을 기반으로 Lab색 체계를 적용한 영상신호분석 실험을 통해 사상체질별 매운 음식과 얼굴 색상과의 상관성 분석 연구를 수행하였다.

The purpose of this research was to investigate inhibitory activity of Sasang medicines on diabetes. Reduce 36 kind of medicines to powder, abstract add 100 times methanol. Examine inhibitory activity on α-amylase and α-glucosidase in vitro. Thirty six oriental herbs were screened for inhibitory activities against carbohydrate digesting enzymes in vitro. Methanol extract of Pleuropterus multiflorus Turez, Ephedra sinica, Moutan cortex Radicis, Magnolia obovata, Alpinia officinarum, Amomi Semen, Rubus coreanus, and Cinnamomi cortex inhibited yeast α-glucosidase activity and extract of Moutan cortex Radicis and Rubus coreanus inhibited porcine α-amylase activity by more 50%. Rubus coreanus showed the strongest inhibition against both α-glucosidase and α-amylase. Therefore, Rubus coreanus was the most effective medicice of 36 kind of medicines.

본 논문에서는 전파를 이용하는 기기의 확산에 따른 전자파 인체영향 정책 방향에 대하여 제안한다. 특히 해외 주요국에서 시행하고 있는 사전주의 원칙에 대한 개념과 이를 근거로 취약계층의 보호를 위하여 국제기준보다 강화된 인체보호기준을 적용하는 사례를 분석하였다. 또한, 최근 경기도의회에서 제정한 전자파 안심지대 조례에 대하여 헌법상 법률우위의 원칙, 법률 유보의 원칙 등에 위배되는 사실에 대하여 분석하였으며, 향후 국내에서 전자파 취약계층을 위한 법제도 정비 및 관련 정책 추진은 전파법에 근거하여 추진할 것을 제안한다.
