The 3rd Japan-Korea Workshop on Acupuncture and EBM was held at Kanazawa on June $16^{th}$. From Korea team, 4 papers were presented. Dr. Hahn introduced a new approach of data analysis on series of n-of-1 trials using the Bayesian statistics. It offered important information for the future n-of-1 trials. Dr. Park clearly demonstrated the significance of various sham devices proposed and stressed the importance of research questions when we choose the control intervention in RCT. Dr. Lee reported the results of survey in Korean Medical Doctors (KMD) for their point selection and techniques to the distal and local points. Dr. Kim presented the results of face to face survey on the KMD with 28 items for acupuncture treatment on the knee OA. Finally, a draft of protocol was introduced by Dr. Kim. The title was "multi-center, a randomized, single blinded, two arms, parallel-group study to compare the effectiveness and safety of 'individualized acupuncture' and 'standardized minimal acupuncture' in Korean and Japanese patients with knee osteoarthritis (Phase IV)". From Japan team, 7 speakers presented their comments and proposals on the protocol. Dr. Takahashi introduced several issues regarding n-of-1 trials and pointed out the importance of obtaining generalizability from n-of-1 trials. Dr. Shichidou pointed the importance of research design, selection of outcome measures and reduction of biases. Dr. Itoh presented the results of point selection for the knee OA based on the literature survey. Dr. Sumiya introduced several differences between KMD and Japanese acupuncturists based on the questionnaire used in KMD survey. Dr. Furuya demonstrated a result of press tack needle and its sham device on shoulder stiffness. Dr. Yamashita introduced the results of literature survey regarding adverse events occurred by acupuncture on knee OA. Dr.Tsukayama stressed the importance of responsibility of Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the conduction of clinical trials. After several issues were discussed, the need of continued meeting for final protocol development was agreed, then the workshop was closed.

Objectives The Eum-Yang (Yin-Yang in English) temperament was shown to have clinical and structural validity with Sasang Personality Questionnaire (SPQ), however the studies of the association with behavior problems and personality structure in adolescents were not satisfactory. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between Eum-Yang temperament and behavior problems in Korean middle school students. Methods 122 first grader of middle school students (68 boys and 54 girls) completed SPQ, Junior version of Temperament and Character Inventory (JTCI), and Youth Self Report (YSR). The correlations between SPQ, JTCI, and YSR subscales were investigated. And, also the differences between SPQ, JTCI, and YSR subscales among Yang (high 30% of SPQ total score) and Eum (low 30% of SPQ total score) temperament groups classified with SPQ total score were examined. Results The SPQ total score were correlated with Novelty-Seeking (r=.321) and Reward-Dependence (r=.392) in boys, and with Novelty-Seeking (r=.427) and Harm-Avoidance (r=-.444) in girls. The SPQ total score were not significantly correlated with Body Mass Index, Ponderal Index and YSR total, however significantly correlated with YSR Internalizing problems and Withdrawal/depressed subscale (r=-.242 and r=-.419) in boys and Withdrawal/depressed subscale (r=-.449) in girls. There were significant differences between Eum and Yang groups in Novelty-Seeking, Harm-Avoidance and Withdrawal/depressed as for boys and girls. Conclusions The biopsychological structure of SPQ was confirmed with middle school students. The behavioral (SPQ-B) and emotional (SPQ-E) perspectives of Eum-Yang were found to be protective and risk factors, and also correlated with Externalizing and Internalizing behavior problems, respectively. The biopsychological characteristics of Eum-Yang temperament and its relation with psychopathological symptoms in late-childhood should be carefully analyzed.

체질(體質)이란 형체(形體)에 기능(機能)을 결부시킨 것으로 유전적(遺傳的) 체질(體質)의 형성요소(形成要素)와 생활환경적(生活環境的) 요소(要素)가 합치되어 형성되는 것으로 정의할 수 있다. 이제마(李濟馬)의 사상체질이론(四象體質理論)은 그 이론적 근거와 임상적 활용에 있어서 체계적(體系的)이고 일관적(一貫的)이므로 현재 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이제마(李濟馬)의 사상의학(四象醫學)이 보편화(普遍化)되고 일반화(一般化)되기 위해서 제기되고 있는 문제점이 사상체질진단(四象體質診斷)의 객관성(客觀性)이다. 논자(論者)는 그 동안 진행된 연구현황(硏究現況)을 분류(分類)하고 그 방향(方向)을 다음과 같이 전망(展望)하여 본다. 1. 그 동안 진행된 체질진단(體質診斷)의 객관화(客觀化) 연구(硏究)는 긍정적(肯定的)으로 평가(評價)되지만, 연구(硏究)의 한계(限界)와 문제(問題)를 극복(克復)하기 위하여 체질병증(體質病證)의 검증(檢證)을 통한 체질진단(體質診斷)의 객관화(客觀化)를 시도(試圖)하여야 한다. 2. 형태학적(形態學的) 객관화(客觀化) 연구(硏究)는 이것을 실용화(實用化)하기 위해서 먼저 표준화작업(標準化作業)을 진행되어야 하고, 계측방법(計測方法)에 따른 오차발생(誤差發生)과 오랜 평가시간(評價時間)을 극복하기 위하여 간편한 software개발이 필요하다. 또한, 구조적(構造的) 정적(靜的)인 상태(狀態)의 사상인(四象人) 특징(特徵)외에 기능적(機能的) 동적(動的)인 상태(狀態)의 분석(分析) 및 해석(解析)이 병행하여 연구되어야 한다. 3. 설문조사지(設問調査紙)를 이용한 객관화(客觀化) 연구(硏究)는 QSCC II를 개발하였다. 그러나 현재 설문조사지에 소아(小兒)의 체질분류에 대한 평가와 태양인(太陽人)에 대한 평가를 반드시 제고하여야 할 것이다. 아울러 심(心)에 대한 재해석(再解析)을 통하여 사상인(四象人)의 심리특성(心理特性) 및 행동특성(行動特性)을 분석적(分析的)으로 연구(硏究)해야 한다. 4. 진단기기(診斷機器)를 이용한 객관화(客觀化) 연구(硏究)는 다양하게 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 먼저 이들 진단기기(診斷機器)는 표준화작업(標準化作業)후에 생리적(生理的) 병리적(病理的) 기준하(基準下)에서 한의학적(韓醫學的) 평가(評價) 및 사상의학적(四象醫學的) 평가(評價)가 선행(先行)되어야 한다. 그런 후에 사상인(四象人) 체질병증(體質病證)을 객관화(客觀化)하기 위한 연구(硏究)가 시도되어야 한다. 5. 체질병증(體質病證)의 객관화(客觀化) 연구(硏究)로 수곡병증(水穀病證)과 기액병증(氣液病證)의 구분정신(區分精神), 병증(病證)의 경중완급(輕重緩急)에 따른 순역(順逆)의 구분정신(區分精神), 체질(體質)에 따른 자율적(自律的) 조절정신(調節精神)의 인식(認識)의 전환(轉換)이 필요하다. 더불어 체질병증(體質病證)에 대하여 현대(現代) 과학기술(科學技術) 및 의학기술(醫學技術)을 응용하는 다양한 시도(試圖)가 필요하다.

본 논문은 사상채질분류검사지의 표준화 연구와 공동작업으로 행해진 연구로써 최근에 들어 다각도로 행해지고 있는 사상체질분류 객관화 연구의 한 방면이라고 하겠다. 본 논문의 주된 내용은 진단정확률의 확인을 통하여 새로 개발된 검사지의 타당도를 검증해 보고 프로파일 분석이라고 하는 통계분석상의 기법을 활용해서 설문지에 대한 적응도가 다소 떨어지는 집단들을 추출해내고 그들의 특성을 분석연구하자는 것이다. 연구에 사용된 검사지는 기본의 1992년판 검사지를 의학, 문학, 철학 및 심리화분야등 각 방면에서 폭넓은 검토를 거쳐 개정한 것이다. 본 연구의 대상이 되는 집단은 1995년 8월 7일부터 동년 9월 6일까지 경희의료원 동서종합건진센터 및 경희의료원 한방병원의 사상의학과에서 수진하여 전문의의 사상체질변증과정을 거친 외래환자들의 집단과 체질변증 과정이 없이 개방적으로 자료를 모집하되 연령별, 성별, 학력별로 나누어 고르게 분포하도록 한 일반인들의 집단으로 집단내 인원수는 각각 총 274명과 1092명이었다. 이들로부터 채집된 자료중 환자집단의 자료를 가지고 진단정확률을 조사하고, 일반인군 자료의 표준화에서 얻어진 규준(norms)을 환자군의 사상척도점수에 적용하여 T점수를 구하고 다변량군집분석을 시행하여 집단별 특성을 프로파일 그래프로 작성하여 파악해 보는 작업을 거쳐 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 예언집단과 실제 집단간의 비교로 나타나는 진단정확률은 기존의 QSCC에 비하여 대폭 향상된 70.08%로 나타나 검사지의 타당도가 입증되었다. 2. 각 체질집단의 전체 프로파일 특성비교에서 각 체질별로 해당척도에 대한 반응은 모든 척도에서 일정하게 상승되어 체질변증의 측면에서 긍정적인 양상을 보였다. 3. 자기표현의 정도를 중심으로 관찰해 본 전체 프로파일의 분석에서는 소양집단이 가장 뚜렷한 선명성을 보였고 소음집단이 가장 취약하였으며 태음집단은 이중적 속성을 나타냈다. 4. 각 체질별 세 군의 하위집단중에서 소위 이탈집단이라고 할 수 있는 부류의 집단은 나머지 두 집단과 프로파일의 특성에 있어서 확연히 구분되는 양상을 보였는 바 그 내용은 다음과 같다. 가. 소양인의 이탈집단은 소양집단의 일반적 속성과 달리 현저하게 소극적인 양상을 보였으며 소음척도에서 비교적 높은 반응을 보였다. 나. 태음인의 이탈집단은 점수분포가 매우 낮은 소극적 양상을 보였으며 태음집단의 특성인 태양-태음 동반상승과는 반대로 태양척도에서 점수가 급락하는 현상을 나타냈다. 다. 소음인의 이탈집단은 소양집단의 프로파일 형태와 유사한 특성을 보여 소음집단 특유의 소극적이고 표현에 취약한 특성이 대부분 희석된 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 보아 제작된 검사지의 타당도가 입증되었으며 본 연구의 과정에서 실시한 체질별 이탈집단의 프로파일 분석을 통해 몇가지 방향에서 그들의 특성을 파악할 수 있었다. 이 결과는 추후에 본 검사지의 개선에 하나의 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대하며 검사지의 발전을 위해서는 이탈집단과 대조집단의 특성차이에 대한 좀 더 심층적인 연구가 지속되어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate role-related job stressors of physical therapists and to examine the relationship between job stress and organizational effectiveness. A survey was conducted through structured questionnaire for the physical therapists working in Busan area, and data from 175 therapists were utilized in the final analysis. Survey items included general characteristics of the therapists(sex, age, education, marital status, religion, income, etc.), various kinds of job stressors(role conflict, role overload, role ambiguity, physical burden), and organizational effectiveness measured in terms of job satisfaction, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Major results are as follows: 1) The level of physical therapists' job stress was found to be in average range, recording 2.65 on 4-point scale. 2) It appeared that main job stressors of physical therapists were role ambiguity and role overload, and this was more apparent in the case of younger, relatively less-educated, unmarried, and lower-grade employees. 3) On the other hand, in the case of relatively more-educated and higher-paid employees, role conflict was comparatively more important job stressor. 4) Regression analysis suggested that, as Job stress increased, job satisfaction and organizational commitment decreased; however, no significant relationship was found between job stress and organizational citizenship behavior. 5) These results imply that, in order to perform effective and efficient personnel administration of physical therapists, adequate job stress management would be very important task for the hospital managers.

A health index was proposed that evaluates personal health state from both measured physiological variables and survey questions. Four health indices were defined such as cardiovascular index, stress index, obesity index, and management index. The total health index was calculated by summing these four health indices. Physiological variables such as blood pressure, heart rate variability(HRV), accelerated photoplethysmograph(APG), and body fat percentage were non-invasively measured and a survey questionnaire that asks personal health state, exercise intensity, and food preference was developed. The suggested health index was applied to thirty eight persons including 30 patients and 8 normal persons with an average age of 51.8. The average health index was estimated to be 75.1 out of 100 points. Young age group(below 50) and men group showed higher health indices than the aged(over 50) and women groups. The correlation coefficient between the cardiovascular index and stress index was found to be 0.513, which means stress is related to cardiovascular health state. The correlation coefficient between the measurements and survey questions was 0.385 for the cardiovascular index. It was as low as 0.182 for the stress index. More case studies may improve correlations between measurements and survey questions, and then, the current health index system may develop as an effective tool to evaluate personal health state.

Objectives : To test the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture applied to PC6 and ST36 for the relief of fullness of epigastrium or epigastric pain. Subjects and Methods : We enrolled fifty patients in a case series study The patients were mainly female (94 %) with an average age of 55 years $({\pm}15.0)$; the average age of the male patients was 51 years $({\pm}20.0)$. Twenty four percent of patients were in acute phase which epigastric pain had lasted below 1 month. Twenty eight percent of patients were in chronic phase which the pain had lasted over 6 month. The rest were in subacute phase. Acupuncture needles were inserted into PC6 and ST36 bilaterally. The acupuncture treatments were performed 2 times a week for 4 weeks. One treat session was lasted for 30 min. At each visit, overall symptomatic improvement, frequency and intensity of symptoms were checked on a 4 scaled questionnaire. Results : After acupuncture treatment, a progressive improvement of pain intensity was reported in 46 of the 50 patients, including 23 of excellent and 23 of good. The progress of symptom was more superior in subacute phase to acute or chronic phase. The symptom of 22 of 24 patients in subacute phase was improved. No patient experienced minor side-effects during acupuncture treatment. Conclusion : These preliminary data suggest the acupuncture treatment provides good pain relief for most patients presenting with epigastric pain. Randomized trials with appropriate control groups are needed to validate the effectiveness of this therapy in the treatment of epigastric pain.
