Objectives : This study was founded to identify the differences of stress responses, according to Sasang Constitutions (the Taeyangin, Taeumin, Soyangin and Soumin) of highly stressed oriental medicine college students. Methods : The subjects were 76 students who majored in oriental medicine. We processed 'University students Stress Scale', and 'Medical Stress Scale'. We selected 30 students who stressed higher than average. We then processed 'QSCC II (Questionnare for the Sasang Constitution Classification II)' and 'Scale for the Stress Response'. Collected data was analyzed with the SPSS 19.0 for windows statistical program. Results : The university students stress score of oriental medicine students was 1.97 that was higher than the other college students. The medical stress score was 2.77, which was similar with other medical college students. The symptoms of stress score was 2.53, which was higher than the others. Particularly, the depressive syndrome and rage syndrome were highly ranked. The frequently appearing symptoms of each type of Sasang Constitutions (the Taeyangin, Taeumin, Soyangin and Soumin) showed as follows. The Soyangin's symptoms of stress showed in order of Anxiety, Depression, and Emotional irritability. The Soumin's symptoms of stress showed in order of Depression, Emotional irritability, and cognitive disorganization. The Taeumin's symptoms of stress showed in order of Anxiety, Depression, and Emotional irritability. However, there was were no significant differences among the results of each constitution. Conclusions : The results show that oriental medicine students have as much stress as other medical college students and there was tendency of showing different patterns of stress response, according to Sasang Constitution, but it's not significantly different.

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.

Objective : This study investigated the relationship between warning signs and Sasang constitution (SC) in acute stroke patients. Methods : From October in 2005 to March in 2007, 629 acute stroke patients were studied. Patients were hospitalized within 14 days after the onset ofstroke at one of 3 oriental medical hospitals in Seoul and Kyong-gi province. We assessed the type of SC of acute stroke patients by Questionnaire for Sasang Constitution Classification II (QSCC II). We investigated warning signs (motor weakness, blindness, dysarthria, sensory disturbance, finger dullness, facial & eyelid spasm, neck stiffness), general characteristics, etc. Results : This study showed a higher proportion of Tae-eum & So-eum experience upper extremity sensory disturbance but So-yangexperience lower extremity sensory disturbance. Smoker So-eumexperience 1st & 2nd finger dullness more than non-smoker So-eum. So-eum women experience motor weakness more than So-eum men. Conclusion : Besides these results, we could observe almost no relationship between warning signs and Sasang constitution (SC) in acute stroke patients. More data from prospective cohort studies will help people better understand the relationship between warning signs and Sasang constitution (SC) in acute stroke patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out the relations between the index of obesity by body composition analysis (EMI. %BF and WHR) and results of other oriental health examinations (QSCC II, HRV and APG) on some women. Methods: 114 women who were tested by oriental health examination between May 2006 and August 2008 were studied. Results: As a result of the study on the relations between the index of obesity by body composition analysis and sasang constitution, it was found that each of them had significant differences among themselves and Taeumin had the highest significance than other sasang constitution. As a result of the study on the relations between the index of obesity by body composition analysis and HRV, it was discovered that there was no significant relationship between BMI and WHR and HRV. However, %BF had negative correlations with autonomic activity, stress resistance and stress index. As a result of the study on the relations between the index of obesity by body composition analysis and APG, it was found that they had positive correlations with each other. Conclusion: In conclusion, there are significant relations between the index of obesity by body composition analysis and results of other oriental health examinations.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to analyze the interrelation of therapeutic effects according to the bee venom pharmacopuncture-induced skin hypersensitivity reaction and the sasang constitution. Methods : Data were collected from 62 patients who had been treated with bee venom pharmacopuncture due to low back pain. The patient's symptoms were evaluated with visual analogue scale(VAS), oswestry disability index(ODI). And we classified the patients according to the manifestation of skin hypersensitivity reaction, sasang constitution by QSCC II. Results : 22 patients had the skin hypersensitivity reaction, 40 patients hadn't. And 12 patients were Soeumin, 30 patients were Soyangin, 17 patients were Taeeumin. After treatment with bee venom pharmacopuncture 6 times(three times per week for 2 weeks), VAS was changed from $6.15{\pm}1.63$ to $4.00{\pm}1.64$. ODI was changed from $19.61{\pm}8.15$ to $14.76{\pm}8.07$. And there were significant associations. By the change of VAS and ODI between skin hypersensitivity reaction group and not, there were no significant associations. By the occurrence of skin hypersensitivity reaction between the sasang constitution, there were no significant associations. By the change of VAS and ODI between the Sasang constitution, there were no significant associations. Conclusion : This study shows that there were no significant associations in the frequency of skin hypersensitivity reaction according to the Sasang constitution. And the therapeutic effects of bee venom pharmacopuncture had no concern with skin hypersensitivity reaction and the Sasang constitution.
