1. Objectives and Methods It has been examined 703 papers of Sasang Constitution Society published from 1989 to 2007. Among them, the study methods have been classified focused on 332 papers related to clinical research and the method of constitution diagnosis and subjects have been researched to research the reality of the clinical research of Sasang Constitutional Medicine. 2. Results 1. The rest studies are the most which can not be classified by existing study method among 332 clinical studies. 2. The study of patient control group is 17 cases and the clinical experiment is one case, so highly well-grounded studies have not been performed. 3. The most method of constitution diagnosis is the constitution diagnosis by experts and by QSCC. 4. The number of constitution diagnosis method performed in the research institution is within 2. They are 254 cases(89.5%). 5. The studies which utilize more than 3 constitution methods are 22 cases and the studies that use medical rash are 7cases(31.8) 6. The 215 cases that subjects are less than 100 are the most and 100${\sim}$500 subjects are 71 cases. 500${\sim}$10000 subjects are 33 cases and more than 1000 subjects are 15 cases. 3. Conclusions Therefore, it is needed to increase the rate of highly well-grounded studies and set the standard criteria by providing constitution diagnosis guideline.

We wanted to study the effect of Taeyeumjowee-tang and electroacupunctre combined-therapy on obese patients. From 1 March, 2000 to 30, September, 2000 we studied 33 out-ward patients who clinically diagnosed obesity and classified Tae-Em-In by QSCC(Questionnaire of Sasang Constitution Classification). We treated the patients by electroacupuncture therapy and taeyeumjowee-tang for 6 weeks, We investigated the change of mean body weight, mean body mass index, mean obesity degree, percent body fat and waist-hip circumference ratio. To analyze the results we used repeat measure method by SPSS ver 7.5. The results were as follows: 1. From $70.4{\pm}11.4\;to\;64.9{\pm}8.7$, mean body weight was significantly decreased according to combined-therapy. 2. From $27.2{\pm}3.2\;to\;24.6{\pm}2.7$, mean BMI was significantly decreased according to combined-therapy. 3. From $116.7{\pm}13.9\;to\;104.4{\pm}12.1$, mean obesity degree was significantly decreased according to combined-therapy. 4. From $32.1{\pm}6.8\;to\;27.4{\pm}7.5$, percent body fat was significantly decreased according to combined-therapy. 5. From $0.90{\pm}0.06\;to\;$0.86{\pm}0.06$, waist-hip circumference ratio was significantly decreased according to combined-therapy. In this study we knew the combined-therapy of electroacupuncture and taeyeumjowee-tang is very efficient in obese patient.

1. 연구목적 본 연구(硏究)의 목적은 체질진단분류의 간편화와 정확화를 위해 만들어진 새로운 사상체질(四象體質) 변증설문지(辨證說問紙)의 임상적 활용도를 알아보기 위한 것이다. 2. 연구방법 이 연구(硏究)를 위하여 동의의료원 건강검진센터를 방문한 환자 및 일반 학생 등 총 306명을 대상으로 설문지(說問紙)를 작성하였다. 작성된 설문지(說問紙)를 이용하여 아홉 가지 판별식을 만들었으며 이 아홉 가지 판별식을 이용하여 자료의 체질(體質)를 분석하여 그 결과를 얻었다. 3. 연구결과 1. 판별식(I)로 A군 대상자의 체질(體質)를 판별한 결과 소음인(少陰人) 진단정확률이 58.97%, 태음인(太陰人) 진단될 정확율이 51.43%, 소양인(少陽人) 진단 정확률이 45.16%로 나타났다. 판별식(I-1)은 소음인(少陰人) 진단정확률이 62.50%, 태음인(太陰人) 진단정확률이 52.94%, 소양인(少陽人) 진단정확률이 45.16%로 상승시켰다. 판별식(I-2)은 소음인(少陰人) 진단정확률이 60.53% 태음인(太陰人) 진단정확률이 52.78% 소양인(少陽人) 진단정확률이 48.39%로 상승시켰다. 2. 판별식 (II)으로 B군 대상자의 체질(體質)을 판별한 결과 소음인(少陰人) 진단정확률이 68.25% 태음인(太陰人) 진단정확률이 37.93%, 소양인(少陽人) 진단정확률이 38.20%로 나타났다. 판별식(II-1)은 소음인(少陰人) 진단정확률이 68.25%, 태음인(太陰人) 진단정확률이 41.38%, 소양인(少陽人) 진단정확률이 39.32%로 약간 상승시켰다. 판별식(II-2)은 소음인(少陰人) 진단정확률이 66.66%, 태음인(太陰人) 진단정확률이 41.73%, 소양인(少陽人) 진단정확률이 38.20%로 거의 변화가 없었다. 3. 판별식(III)으로 C군 대상자의 체질(體質)를 판별한 결과 소음인(少陰人) 진단정확률이 62.86%, 태음인(太陰人) 진단정확률이 35.87%, 소양인(少陽人) 진단정확률이 32.22%로 나타났다. 판별식(III-1)은 소음인(少陰人) 진단정확률이 62.86%, 태음인(太陰人) 진단정확률이 36.95%, 소양인(少陽人) 진단정확률이 32.22%로 거의 변호가 없었다. 판별식(III-2)은 소음인(少陰人) 진단정확률이 61.47%, 태음인(太陰人) 진단정확률이 34.44%, 소양인(少陽人) 진단정확률이 31.82%로 거의 변화가 없었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 판별식(I-2)이 가장 좋은 결과가 나왔으며, 몇 가지 문제점을 보완한다면, 임상에서 활용할 수 있는 보다 나은 판별식을 구할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

1. Objectives : The purpose of this study was to validate the Sasang Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) with Positive And Negative Affection Schedule(PANAS) for emotionality and Body Mass Index (BMI) for body constituents. 2. Methods : The SPQ along with Questionnaire for Sasang Constitution Classification (QSCC) II, PANAS, BMI was measured with 232 College students. The correlation coefficient was measured with Pearson correlation between SPQ and PANAS, BMI. The SPQ, PANAS, and BMI score of each Sasang constitution groups based on QSCCII were compared using analysis of variance and profile analysis. 3. Results : The SPQ score of each Sasang constitution groups was significantly (p<0.01) different. The SPQ showed significant correlation with PANAS Positive Affect (r=0.201, p=0.002), but not with the BMI (r=0.097, p=0.146). The SPQ-Emotionality scale, unlike other SPQ subscales, showed positive correlation with PANAS Negative Affection. 4. Conclusions : We performed the constructive validity of SPQ using PANAS and BMI. The SPQ would be useful for the study on psychophysiological mechanism of the Sasang constitutions.

Objectives : The present study investigated the integrative relationships between Sasang typology, Holland's vocational typology, and Myers-Briggs type. Methods : The sample was composed of 83 sophomores at the College of Oriental Medicine, Daegu Hanny University (56 men, 27 women; ages 19 to 39, mean age ${\pm}$S. D. = 24.38 ${\pm}$ 5.28) and was carried out with the QSCC II, Holland inventory, and MBTI. SPSS 12.0 was employed for statistical analyses. Results : The Sasang types of the subjects were as followed: 21 Soyangin (10 men, 11 women) (25.3%), 20 Taeumin (18 men, 2 women) (24.1%), and 42 Soeumin (28 men, 14 women) (50.6%). There were no significant differences in the mean scores of Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, or Conventional scale between the 3 Sasang types, but in the mean scores of Realistic, Investigative, and Artistic scale between the 4 MBTI combinations (Sensing-Thinking, Sensing-Feeling, Intuition-Thinking, and Intuition-Feeling type): F (3, 73) = 3.11, p < .05 in Realistic scale, F (2, 73) = 3.70, p < .05 in Investigative scale, and F (2, 73) = 5.60, p < .01 in Artistic scale. Conclusions : The present study discovered that the first preference for vocational aptitude of undergraduate students at the College of Oriental Medicinewas Investigative and the second preference was Artistic, which fitted Holland's vocational codes as Investigative/Artistic or Investigative/Social scale. The personality traits underlying Sasang typology play an important factor in making career decisions.

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.
