The study relates to achievement and analysis of 3-dimensional spatial pulse wave archived by a spatially arterial pulse diagnostic apparatus (SAPDA), wherein a pulse sensing part array consists of multiple hall devices and is located over a skin contacting part which consists of a magnetic material. When a radially arterial pulse is transferred to the magnetic material, which is contacted skin that results in changes in a magnetic field of the lower part of the pulse sensing part array, the changes in a magnetic field can be detected by the commercial Hall semiconductor device of the pulse sensing part array. Finally, according to development of SAPDA, the 3-dimensionally arterial pulse waveform can be measured noninvasively by detecting the changes of the magnetic field.

This study was to observe the tendency of pulse diagnosis in atopic dermatitis patients as measured by pulse diagnostic apparatus. Methods : We did pulse diagnostic test about 11 new outpatients who had visited the department of ophthalmology, otolaryngology, dermatology in Kyunghee oriental medical center from March 1, 2007 to October 31, 2007 and had atopic dermatitis. Results : The results were as follows. 1. Among the 11 outpatients, the total number of male patients were 5 and female patients were 6, and the age distribution, the most frequently visited age groups were 10-19 years old and 20-29 years old(each 4 patients). 2. The most common period of onset to first examination were 3 years${\leq}$ (7 patients). 3. There were 8 patients who had emphasized T-wave. 4. There were 7 patients who had repeated pulse wave pattern. Conclusion : In 11 cases who had atopic dermatitis, 8 patients had emphasized T-wave and 7 patients had repeated pulse wave pattern.

10개의 다중 홀(Hall)소자를 이용하여 요골동맥에 놓여진 영구자석의 위치 변화에 따른 전압의 변화를 전기적 신호로 얻었다.전기적 신호는 맥의 파형 신호를 의미하며 이들을 다시 회로의 하드웨어를 통해 신호들을 미분하여 자장의 변화 신호만 얻었다.소프트웨어를 통해 위치 변화에 따른 자장 변화의 크기에 따라 그 형태를 3차원 영상을 얻어 착용형 맥진기로서의 개발 가능성을 보여주었다.

요골동맥의 운동에 대한 공간적 맥진파형 특징을 얻기 위해 2차원 배열 자기터널접합(magnetic tunnel junction; MTJ) 센서를 이용하여 공간 맥진파형 진단장치(spatial pulse diagnostic apparatus; SPDA)를 설계하였다. 자극배열의 위치변동에 대한자장 분포의 변화는 2차원 자기장 유한요소해석 소프트웨어(finite element method magnetics; FEMM)를 사용하여 모의실험을 하였다. 그 결과 평행한 자극배열에서 높은 감도와 균일한 자기장 분포를 얻을 수 있다. 또한 자석배열의 공간 변위 변화는 MTJ 센서의 출력신호 변화와 비례하였다.

Recently, there are deep and much concerns about the objective assessment of diagnosis in Oriental Medicine. Among them, pulse diagnostics is used for the quantitative device of diagnosis. The objective research of pulse diagnosis were mainly conducted by pulse wave. So it is important to gain multi-information for the quantification of pulse diagnosis. We report the development of pulse diagnostic apparatus enable to gain the multi-information, detect the pressure pulse wave in conku(寸口) area and obtain the gradient curve and original pulse wave simultaneously, and consider the pulse wave with the traditional pulse diagnosis at the same time.

A wrist wearable cuffless pulsimeter with a portable and small size apparatus using Hall effect is fabricated. The analysis of the pulse wave measured by the testing product of pulsimeter is done to measure the pulse rate and blood pressure. The blood pressure obtained by the puslimeter is compared with the practical values measured by electronic or mercury liquid blood pressure meters. The detail analysis of a pulse wave measured by a wrist wearable cuffless pulsimeter detecting the changes of the magnetic field can be used to develop a new diagnostic algorithm of blood pressure applying for oriental medical apparatus.

This study investigated the radial pulse waveform obtained by a medical pulsimeter sensor. A pulse-sensing part array consisting of multiple Hall devices was located over a skin-contacting part with a hard magnetic material. The periodic movement of the magnetic material of the skin-contacting part affected the magnetic field in the pulse-sensing part array and was detected by multiple Hall devices. The analysis of a radial pulse waveform that is measured noninvasively by detecting the changes of the magnetic field can be used to develop a new diagnostic algorithm of oriental medical apparatus.

Background & Object: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of degree of fatigue and gastric motility, measured by EGG, with skin sympathetic tone or cardiovascular reactivity in patients with functional dyspepsia. Methods: Subjects were 56 patients with Functional dyspepsia and eight healthy people. Degree of fatigue was assessed by questionnaires consisting of subjective complaints of fatigue. Skin sympathetic tone was measured by Ryodoraku Score and Cardiovascular Reactivity was checked by Pulse diagnostic apparatus. Gastric motility was estimated by EGG. First, all patients were divided into two groups by Ryodoraku Score $40{\mu}A$(below and above). Second, they were subdivided into two groups by Cardiovascular Reactivity(decreased and increased or not decreased). Estimates were made on the extent differences of degree of fatigue or state of gastric motility in each group. Results: 1. Fatigue scores was significantly higher in females and in the Ryodoraku-Score-below-$40{\mu}A$ group. It was higher in the decreased cardiovascular reactivity group than the increased group, but to no significanct extent. Also, gastric motility was better in the Ryodoraku-Score-above-$40{\mu}A$, group than in the below group. Conclusions: These results suggest that degree of fatigue and gastric motility are associated with skin sympathetic tone, but not associated with cardiovascular reactivity, and that $40{\mu}A$ is a useful cutoff point in Ryodoraku Score for assessing degree of fatigue in functional dyspepsia patients.
