This study was performed to analize the possibility of validation about Questionaire of Sasang constitution Classification which has been made through several stages for the purpose of promoting the objectivity of Sasang constitutional classification. The results of statistical research about the responses data of Sasang Questionaire are as follow: 1. In the case of mutual relation between the items of the QSCC(Questionaire of Sasang Constitution Classification) and 16PF, every item displaced singnificant result.(in male group) 2. In the investigation to classify the score distribution of Sasang items three groups and analize the gap of mean value in each of 16PF, the characters of each Sasang group were turn out as follows: (1) The Taee-Yang group has extrovert and narcissistic inclination. (2) The So-Yang group shows remarkable extrovert inclination. (3) The Tae-Eum group has hidden fear and introvert inclination. (4) The So-Eum group has revealed physical unstability and introvert inclination. 3. The statistical research of female group didn't display any significant result. It will be necessary to analize the respondent shape of female group and introduce new items to coincident with faminine psychology. 4. In the research using 16PF accompany with QSCC in order to classify the Sasang constitution, the accuracy rate of diagnosis showed inspiring elevation. For that reason, it seems to be desirable to introduce some items of 16PF into QSCC. According to above results, although QSCC contains several problems to be solved, its validity was proved, and the analysis of statistics suggests the possibility to step forward by introducing 16PF in some problems of promoting the accuracy of Sasang Constitutional diagnosis, assuring the objectibity of Sasang constitution classification and so on.

Objectives The aim of this study is to investigate the related factors of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods The subjects were 187 persons diagnosed as fatty liver by abdominal ultrasonography. They were divided into three groups according to the severity of fatty liver: control, mild, moderate or severe. The three groups' general characteristics, laboratory results, liver function indexes, metabolic syndrome indexes, tumor markers, heart rate variability values and Sasang constitution distribution were compared and analyzed. Results Male ratio, height, weight, body mass index, red blood cell count, hemoglobin level and creatinine level were higher in NAFLD groups than in control group. The levels of sodium and amylase were higher in control than in NAFLD. In liver function, the levels of aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase and gamma-glutamyl transpepsidase of NAFLD were higher. In metabolic syndrome index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference, total cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were higher in NAFLD, while high density lipoprotein cholesterol level was higher in control. The alpha-feto protein level was higher in NAFLD, and the heart rate variability was not different between NAFLD and control groups. In Sasang constitution, Taeeumin ratio of NAFLD was higher than of control. Conclusions The results suggest that nonalcoholic fatty liver is clinically related to liver dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, tumor markers, and Sasang constitution. Further studies are needed to control nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and prevent severe disease such as cirrhosis and cancer caused by fatty liver.

Objective : This study aimed to investigate differential cancer incidence among Sasangin comparing to healthy subjects in the Republic of Korea. Methods : The medical records of 169 patients who had taken diagnosis of Sasang constitution from October 2004 to January 2007 at the East-West Cancer Center in Dunsan Oriental Hospital of Daejeon University were reviewed. Diagnosis was done by Questionnaire for Sasang Constitution ClassificationII (QSCCII). Results : Among the 169 patients, 37.9%, 22.5% and 39.6% belonged to Soyangin, Taeumin and Soeumin, respectively. This is significantly different from the distribution rate of Sasang in amonghealthy subjects (29.1%, 46.9% and 24.0% respectively to Soyangin, Taeumin and Soeumin). This pattern appeared in a similar way among individual cancer analysis: breast cancer (37.5%, 21.9%, 40.6%), colon cancer (41.7%, 20.8% 37.5%), and HCC (35.0%, 20.0%, 45.0%). Stomach cancer typically showed remarkable incidence in Soeumin as high as 50.0% and lung cancer showed in Soyangin as high 46.7%, but it didn't have statistical significance. The mean age of 50.9 years was higher than for healthy people (46.3). Conclusion : Sasang distribution of cancer patients is different from that of healthy subjects. Further study is needed on individual cancers.

Objectives This study aims to identify differences in clinical manifestations of COVID-19 between different Sasang constitution. Methods Subjects were recruited from August 29, 2022, to July 11, 2023. COVID-19 clinical symptoms were self-reported via questionnaires. Sasang constitutional diagnosis was performed using the K-PRISM, and Sasang constitutional specialist. Results A total of 66 subjects were recruited for the study, and the Sasang constitutional distribution of the subjects was 19 soyangin, 25 taeeumin, and 22 soeumin. For most of the COVID-19 clinical manifestations, the study found that soyangin experienced symptoms at a higher rate than other constitutions. Among the symptoms observed in the study, sore throat, pantalgia, and cough were severe in all subjects regardless of constitution. Soeumin was more likely to experience abdominal pain, chest pain, and diarrhea, while soyangin was more likely to experience chest pain, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and cutaneous symptoms compared to other constitutions. Taeeumin had more sputm, nasal congestion, and skin symptoms, but fewer digestive symptoms. There were differences in the onset and duration of symptoms by constitution. Conclusions This study is an important contribution to our understanding of the differences in response to the COVID-19 virus among different Sasang constitutions. Symptomatic differences between constitutions may have important implications for prevention and treatment strategies for infectious diseases, and personalized treatment and management based on these differences may be needed in the future.
