Objective : We have studied literatures of Renying Qi mouth comparison pulse diagnosis theory and distinguished the excess, deficiency and quick-temper of pulse as the measurement parameter of Renying Qi mouth pulse diagnosis. Methods : We have acquired pulse signals of Renying Qi mouth by using diagnostic equipment of Renying Qi mouth pulsation and estimated reappearance of pulse signals. Results : 1. The measurement parameter of Renying Qi mouth pulse diagnosis distinguishes the excess, deficiency and quick-temper of pulse through relative comparison of Renying Qi mouth. 2. When we acquired the pulse singals of Renying Qi mouth by using diagnostic equipment, the property, measuring area, bias pressure, contact or adhesion state of the sensor are considered. 3. As getting the pulse signal of Renying Qi mouth, the sensor of a sound detective mode is effective. 4. The diagnostic equipment of Renying Qi mouth pulse is assessed as being significant reappearance.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to research the relations between the Renying pulse and Qikou pulse diagnosis(人迎氣口脈診法) and the Chong vessel(衝脈) based on Yin and Yang(陰陽). Methods : We set up locations of the Renying pulse and the Qikou pulse as ST9(Renying pulse) and LU9(Qikou pulse) respectively. Several medical texts and papers were examined from the ancient to modern periods, in which the relations between the Renying and Qikou pulse diagnosis(人迎氣口脈診法) and the Chong vessel(衝脈) were analyzed based on Yin and Yang(陰陽). Results & Conclusions : The Chong vessel(衝脈) goes around the whole body and its dysfuction can be determined at pulsating sites. Also the Chong vessel(衝脈) supplies Source Qi(原氣) to the Stomach where it generates Nutrient Qi(營氣) and Defense Qi (衛氣). Due to the Lung's function that balances Nutrient Qi(營氣) and Defense Qi(衛氣), the balance between Yin and Yang is accomplished. This Yin-Yang balance can be confirmed through pulse diagnosis of the Renying pulse and Qikou pulse(人迎氣口脈診法).

Objectives : While Comparative Pulse Diagnosis of Renying pulse(人迎脈) and Cunkou pulse(寸口脈) is one of the three major pulse diagnostic methods in "Huangdineijing" along with Three Positions and Nine Indicators Pulse Diagnosis(三部九候脈診法) and Cunkou Pulse Diagnosis(寸口脈診法), it has died out in later periods. This study aims to examine this lost method. Methods : Annotations of "Huangdineijing" were examined along with descriptions of the author's own experience. Results & Conclusions : Renying is the Renying(人迎) point from the Stomach Channel(ST), while Cunkou is the Taiyuan(太淵) point from the Lung Channel(LU). These two points are compared in order to determine the deficiency and excess of the Zangfu(臟腑). Normal pulses(平脈) are Soft(軟脈) or Moderate(緩脈), while Stirred pulses(躁脈) are Stringy(弦脈), Tight(緊脈), Slippery(滑脈) or Long(長脈). If the Renying is once active where Shaoyang pulse is active, purge the Gallbladder and supplement the Liver. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Triple Burner and supplement the Pericardium. If the Renying is twice active where Taiyang pulse is active, purge the Bladder and supplement the Kidney. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Small Intestine and supplement the Heart. If the Renying is three times active, where Yangming pulse is active, purge the Stomach and supplement the Spleen. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Large Intestine and supplement the Lung. If the Cunkou is once active where the Jueyin pulse is active, purge the Liver and supplement the Gallbladder. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Pericardium and supplement the Triple Energizer. If the Cunkou is twice active where the Shaoyin pulse is active, purge the Kidney and supplement the Bladder. If there is stirred pulse, purge the Heart and supplement the Small Intestine. If the Cunkou is three times active where the Taiyin pulse is active, purge the Stomach and supplement the Spleen. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Lung and supplement the Large Intestine.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to research the Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis. Methods : We set up locations of the Renying pulse(人迎脈) and the Qikou pulse(氣口脈) on left hand and right hand. On the basis of the medical texts and papers, we researched the relations between the Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis and the etiological factors(病因), background of appearance of the Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis, and practical use of medical practitioners of many generations to the Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis. Results & Conclusions : The Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis is a method to diagnosis the etiological factors, while it could also be assumed as a tool to apply herbal medicine. This assumption could be made based on the seventh volume of 『Maijing(脈經)』 of Wang Shuhe(王叔和). Chen Wuze(陳無擇) emphasized its function to distinguish etiological factors in 『Sanyinjiyibingzhengfanglun(三因極一病證方論)』, as did Li Dongyuan(李東垣) in 『Neiwaishangbianhuolun(內外傷辨惑論)』. Meanwhile, the connection between Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis and Zangfu(臟腑) seems to have first been made in 『Maiyu(脈語)』 of Wu Kun(吳昆), while 『Zhenjiazhengyan(診家正眼)』 of Li Zhongzi(李中梓) shows traces of progress since the 『Maiyu』.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to examine the hemodynamic characteristics of pulse point. Methods : The computational analysis algorithms of arterial tree system was derived. In order to investigate the effect of internal organ on the pulse point, the diameter of celiac artery was reduced by half. Results : The sensitivity of flow change at the Inyoung(Renying) is better than that of the Chongu(Cunkou). but the Inyoung was worse than the Chongu in the point of the left and right symmetry. The pressure changes at the Inyoung and the Chongu were in the similar range. Conclusions : It was found from the result that the Chongu shows the more symmetrical hemodynamic characteristics than the Inyoung.
