Purpose : This study investigated reliability of Oriental DB & GY(obstetrics & gynecology) Questionnaires's items which was used by Dong-Eui OB & GY through analysis of oriental OB & GY books. Method : This study investigated differentiation of syndrome through analysis of oriental OB & GY book's. Result: This study investigated differentiation of syndrome through analysis of oriental OB & GY disease and pathogenesis. This study's pathogenesis was such that deficiency of Ki, deficiency of blood, stagnation of Ki, stagnated blood, deficiency of Yang, deficiency of Um, cold syndrome, heat syndrome, dampness, dryness, phlegm, kidney, liver, heart, spleen, wind, lung. We except lung from Questionnaires's pathogenesis because it is stuck for importance. We except wind from Questionnaires's pathogenesis because it is stuck for preguence. Oriental OB & GY Questionnaires's pathogenesis consist of 15 items such that deficiency of Ki, deficiency of blood, stagnation of Ki, stagnated blood, deficiency of Yang, deficiency of Um, cold syndrome, heat syndrome, dampness, dryness, phlegm, kidney, liver, heart, spleen. Oriental OB & GY Questionnaires construct pathogenesis's question and guide post through we examined it's reasonableness.

Objective: This study was undertaken to examine the reliability of disease mechanism diagnosis, estimate the disease mechanism items of questionnaires and inquire about the relation of disease mechanisms to the oriental OB & GY diagnosis program. Questionnaires and abridged questionnaires were used for the object diagnosis of oriental medicine in the dept of Oriental OB & GY, Oriental Medical Hospital of Dong-Eui University. Methods: We analyzed the results of questionnaires about 1706 outpatients who had OB & GY disease in the Oriental Medical Hospital of Dong-Eui University from April 2000 to March 2004. Results: 1. The reliability of Oriental OB & GY questionnaires between $90\%$ and $95\%$ were 9 cases, between $85\%$ and $90\%$ were 3 cases, and under $85\%$were 3 cases. Abridged questionnaires were lower than original questionnaires, but 12 cases of a total 15 cases of disease mechanism were above $85\%$. Therefore, both abridged questionnaires and original questionnaires had similar results. 2. Abridged questionnaires were usually lower than existing questionnaires in the comparison of disease mechanism output frequency and that of disease mechanism average score. Therefore, the results of abridged questionnaires seemed to be poorer than those of existing questionnaires, but a great difference wasn't seen. 3. Disease mechanism that was over $50\%$ in the rate of pure question per disease mechanism was 10 cases $(66.7\%)$. Disease mechanism that contributed to producing disease mechanism result and in which pure question was over relevance calculation 0.9 was also 10 cases $(66.7\%)$. In abridged questionnaires, the duplication of questions per disease mechanism Was decreased, the rate of pure questions was increased, and the number of related disease mechanisms was decreased by abridgment of the questionnaires' questions. 4. The calculation of disease mechanism went with the increase of the duplication of questions in many cases, but Tam­Umhe, Kihe-Hyule, Kihe-Umhe, and Shin-Tam went with disease mechanism in many cases despite no duplication of questions. Conclusions: About the reliability of Oriental OB & GY questionnaires, 12 of a total 15 cases of disease mechanism were above $85\%$; therefore both abridged questionnaires and original questionnaires had similar results.

Purpose : This study investigated reliability of Oriental OB&GY questionnaires, valued the items and correlated relation of differentiation of syndromes of Oriental OB&GY questionnaires which is used by Dong-Eui OB&GY. Method : We analysised the result of 721 outpatients's questionnaires from March. 1. 1998 to March. 30. 2002 Results : 1. The reliability of Oriental OB&GY questionnaires above 95% is deficiency of Ki, deficiency of blood, dry of blood, deficiency of Um, stagnation of Ki, insuficiency of the kidneys, liver, heart, above 90% under 95% is deficiency of Yang, heat of constitution, heat of disease, dampness, stagnated blood, above 85% under 90% is phlegm, spleen above 80% under 85% is cold syndrom. 2. The order of frequency diagnosed by Oriental OB&GY questionnaires is dampness(78.7%), heart(66.8%), stagnation of Ki(63.8%), deficiency of blood(53.5%), deficiency of Ki(53.1%), phlegm(53.7%), insuficiency of the kidneys(50.1%), dry of blood(45.1%), spleen(41.4%), liver(36.2%), stagnated blood(36.2%), deficiency of Yang(35.6%), cold syndrom(29.8%), deficiency of Um(24.1%), heat of disease(22.5%), heat of constitution(20.1%). 3. The average of item of differentiation of syndromes above 90 is dampness, above 80 under 90 is deficiency of Ki, deficiency of blood, dry of blood, deficiency of Yang, cold syndrom, heat of constitution, stagnation of Ki, phlegm, stagnated blood, insuficiency of the kidneys, liver, heart, spleen, above 70 under 80 is deficiency of Um, heat of disease. 4. Deficiency of Ki is connected with question compounded of stagnation of Ki, deficiency of Yang is connected cold syndrom, cold syndrom is connected deficiency of Yang, stagnation of Ki is connected deficiency of Ki. 5. The differentiation of syndromes accompanied with others which is related to compounded question is deficiency of Ki, deficiency of blood, cold syndrom, stagnation of Ki, dampness, phlegm, stagnated blood, insuficiency of the kidneys, liver, heart, spleen, which isn't related to compounded question is dry of blood, deficiency of Um, deficiency of Yang, heat of disease.

Purpose : This study was investigated, in order to improve that reliability of disease mechanism diagnosis, which were used for the object diagnosis of Oriental medicine in the dept. of Oriental OB&GY, Oriental Medical hospital of Dong-Eui University, amend to a disease mechanism item of Questionnaires and indexes of disease mechanism, we were thought that the results were more pointed to the condition of appropriate disease mechanism, as a result of put a results of Questionnaires and belongs to indexes of disease mechanism together, we　suggested to call it a　'weight of disease mechanism', because It was possible to　mark a different degrees of indexes of disease mechanism in the same points.　Methods : We analyzed the results of Questionnaires about 3354 outpatients who　had OB&GY disease in the Oriental Medical hospital of Dong-Eui University from April 2000 to March 2004. Results : 1. weight of disease mechanism is 10 score according to disease mechanism score and the standard of reliability. 2. The standard of reliability is same 11 disease mechanism item except stagnated blood, cold syndrome, dry- ness, phlegm. Conclusion : Weight of disease mechanism which show satisfaction the conditions of standard of reliability, appear the results of Questionnaires, against previous study investigated reliability of Questionnaires make it through the standard of reliability.

This study was investigated so that reliability of disease mechanism diagnosis would be examined, the estimation about disease mechanism item of Questionnaires and the relations of disease mechanism would be inquired about 'health diagnosis program' Questionnaires which were used for the object diagnosis of Oriental medicine in the department of Oriental OB&GY, Oriental Medical hospital of Dong-Eui University. We analyzed the results of Questionnaires for 3354 outpatients who had OB & GY disease in the Oriental Medical hospital of Dong-Eui University from April 2000 to March 2004. The diagnosis Questionnaires(after DSOM (r) S.1.1) was the figures 188, the health diagnosis Questionnaires (after DSOM (r) S.1.1) was the figures 137. phiegm deficiency of qi was used in DSOM (r) R.1.1 as it is. The reliability of DSOM (r) S.1.1 was usually higher than DSOM (r) R.1.1 in deficiency of qi blood stasis insufficiency of Yang heat syndrom damp, 5 case disease mechanism. The reliability of DSOM (r) S.1.1 was usually lower than DSOM (r) R.1.1 in blood deficiency stagnation of qi coldness damp dryness liver heart spleen kidney, 8 case disease mechanism. but the great difference wasn't seen, therefore both DSOM (r) S.1.1 and DSOM (r) R.1.1 had similar result. A meeting point both DSOM (r) S.1.1 and DSOM (r) R.1.1 was above 90% in liver spleen blood stasis blood deficiency, 4 case disease mechanism with the exception of phlegm deficiency of Yim nothing of fluctuations of question. A meeting point of coldness that was 82.47% was lowest, A meeting point of the rest disease mechanism was above 85%. The effect that contributed in producing disease mechanism result and in which pure question was over relevance calculation 0.9, insufficiency of Yang damp phlegm that contributed in producing disease mechanism result was lower comparatively in DSOM (r) R.1.1. But the effect that contributed in producing disease mechanism result and in which pure question was over relevance calculation 0.9 except spleen kidney phlegm in DSOM (r) S.1.1

Objectives : This study examined the reliability of disease mechanism diagnosis, to evaluate items of questionnaires and inquire about the relationships between disease mechanisms and 'diagnosis program' questionnaires used for the objective diagnosis of Oriental medicine in the department of Oriental OB&GYN, Oriental Medical Hospital of Dongeui University. Method : We analyzed the results of questionnaires from 3504 outpatients of OB&GYN disease at the Oriental Medical Hospital of Dongeui University from April 2000 to April 2005. Results & Conclusions : 1. The research questionnaire had 188 questions, the summary questionnaire 137, and the diagnosis questionnaire 80. 2. The reliability of all questionnaires shows above 90% in deficiency of qi, deficiency of Yin, insufficiency of Yang coldness heat syndrome liver and spleen kidney in all, 8 case disease mechanisms. These are higher in the diagnosis questionnaires than in the research questionnaires and the summary questionnaires, except for kidney disease mechanism. 3. Cronbach a of the questionnaires decreased, especially blood deficiency, phlegm, heat syndrome, and insufficiency of Yang; these 4 case disease mechanisms were lower than 0.6. 4. For degree of correspondence of meeting points, both. the diagnosis and the summary questionnaires were above 80% with the exception of the 2 case disease mechanisms heart and blood deficiency. The meeting points of both the diagnosis and research questionnaires were above 80% in the to case disease mechanisms deficiency of qi blood stasis deficiency of Yim insufficiency of Yang damp dryness liver spleen kidney phlegm. 5. The change in the result values of questionnaires was a decreased level of deficiency of qi heat syndrome phlegm damp kidney and raised level of coldness heart disorder of qi dryness 6. The computation degree of disease mechanism in DSOM(r) D.1.1 was much lower on phlegm deficiency of qi heat syndrome disorder of blood, somewhat lower on insufficiency of Yang and higher on coldness than in the two different questionnaires.

Purpose : To evaluate the clinical use of the menopause-specific quality of life questionnaire(MENQOL) for scoring menopausal symptoms by comparison with the conventional Kupperman's index. Methods : A population sample of 66 women was randomly selected from the female patients(aged 45-55) who had visited two oriental medical clinic in Seoul or Woo-Shin-Hwang oriental hospital from 1st April to 15th May in 2006. They completed both the MENQOL and the Kupperman's index and were asked a few additional questions. Results : 1. A degree of the Climacteric symptoms were not significantly related to either an education level or an income level. 2. A comparison of the MENQOL with the Kupperman's index produced a high positive correlation. 3. 41 of subjects (62.1%) answered that the MENQOL was more efficient for explaining their symptoms than the Kupperman's index. 49 (74.2%) of subject thought that both questionnaires are equally not difficult to fill out and 44(66.7%) of subject found no difficult questions to answer in any of questionnaires. Conclusion : The MENQOL is a valuable modern tool for the assessment of climacteric symptoms in place of the Kupperman's index. The MENQOL was excellent in applicability. The MENQOL could serve as an adequate diagnostic instrument for climacteric symptoms.

This study carried out to develop the questionnaires that can measure objectively menstrual pain and determine pain index. First, we made questionnaires to measure menstrual pain by VAS, MVRS, VRS and question about trouble of daily life and so on. Then we investigated 1039 women's questionnaires who has the menses. Results are follow as : The questionnaires that can measure objectively menstrual apin and determine pain index was high a correlation coefficient therefore those were used Method of Menstrual Pain(here after MMP) calculation. Those were added and averaged. We examined correlation of calculated MMP and women's questionnaires who has the menses. MMP confidence was high as 99.42% comparatively so we thought MMP was appropriate as the measured method of menstrual pain.
