Sasang Constitution Medicine(SCM)'s researches have been developed in many ways, especially Herbal medicine prescriptions and diagnosis. But there are no acceptable acupuncture theory for the Sasang Constitution. So We have tried to find the way for identifying each Sasang Constitution's acupuncture point on more reasonable methods. We studied that SCM acupuncture based on collecting Books of "Shanghanlun(傷寒論)", or Six-meridian pattern identification's acupuncture prescription. Selected books are "The Acupuncture and Moxibustion(침구학)", "Zhonghua Zhenjiuxue(中華鍼灸學)", "Zhenjiuxinchuan(鍼灸心傳)", "Shanghanlun Zhenjiupeixuexuanzhu(傷寒論鍼灸配穴選注)". So-eumin uses Conception Vessel's acupuncture points most frequently. And So-yangin and Tae-eumin use Bladder meridian and Stomach meridian's acupuncture points most. Moxibustion is used many times for So-eumin, especially at three Yin-Symptoms(三陰病). Orders for using frequencies of three Sasang constitutions' acupuncture points are: So-eumin uses ST36 CV12 CV4 most, So-yangin uses PC6 ST36 LI4 most, Tae-eumin uses ST36 LU7 CV12 most. Acupuncture for Sasang constitutions has been developed for many ways, but there are no generally acceptable theory. So we need to hold a committee for SCM and acupuncture specialist to establish acceptable and reasonable SCM acupuncture theory.

1. 연구목적 동서양과 고금을 통해 많은 체질 이론들이 있었지만 그 중에서도 이제마의 사상의학은 이론과 임상이 체계적으로 연계되어 있어서 널리 사용되고 있다. 이제마는 동의수세보원의 사단론(四端論), 변증론(辨證論) 등에서 체질진단의 근거로 외형(外形), 심성(心性), 증(證)의 세 가지를 제시하였으나 세 가지 기준별 임상적 중요도에 대한 연구가 이루어진 바가 없어서 임상에서 세 가지 진단 기준을 종합적으로 활용하는데 많은 어려움이 있는 형편이다. 그러므로 향후 세 가지 체질진단 기준을 임상에 적용하여 각각의 기준이 지니는 임상적 중요도를 검증하는 연구가 필요하다고 보며, 본 논문에서는 이러한 임상적 연구에 앞서 기존의 체질진단 연구를 외형(外形)과 심성(心性), 증(證)의 세 가지로 분류, 고찰하는 기초적 연구를 하고자 한다. 2. 연구방법 <동의수세보원(東醫壽世保元)>과 사상의학회지 및 사상의학 관련 도서를 중심으로 문헌적 고찰을 하였다. 본론에서는 그간의 연구들을 세 가지로 분류하여 열거하였으며. 고찰에서는 임상적으로 활용이 가능하거나 이미 완료된 연구 위주로 논하였다. 3. 연구결과 (1) 외형(外形)에 관한 연구 경험과 직관적 관찰을 통한 기상(氣像)과 사기(詞氣)위주의 연구가 선행되었고 이를 바탕으로 체형(體形)과 용모(容貌)의 실제 계측을 통한 각 체질별 이미지 정형화 연구가 진행되고 있다. 체질진단의 정확률 제고를 위해서는 이 두 가지 방법을 균형있게 활용해야 한다. (2) 심성(心性)에 대한 연구 각종 연구나 진단의 객관화 등을 위해 자기보고식 설문조사 기법이 체질진단에 응용되고 있으며, 현재까지 개발된 설문지를 이용함에는 사상변증내용설문조사지(I)의 판별식을 이용한 결과와 QSCCll의 결과를 함께 참고하는 것이 적절하다. (3) 증(證)에 대한 연구 체질증과 체질병증에 대한 연구는 원리론적 연구와 체질별 임상증상 유형에 관한 연구, 기존의 증치의학적 병증관을 사상의학적 병증개념에 적용시켜 해석하고자 하는 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 향후 현대적인 의미의 다양한 병증을 사상의학적 관점에서 해석하고 진단하기 위한 객관화 연구가 필요하며, 또한 체질의 편차를 야기시키는 근본적 문제인 장국(臟局)의 대소(大小) 및 장리(臟理)에 대한 연구도 필요하다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the tendency toward depression and fatigue in early postpartum women and to determine the relationship between the symptoms of these conditions, according to the women's Sasang constitutions. Methods: In this study, 73 healthy postpartum women were analyzed according to Sasang constitution: 33 Taeeumin, 22 Soyangin, and 18 Soeumin. Symptoms of depression and fatigue were assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale-K(EPDS-K) and the Fatigue Continuum Form(FCF), respectively, on the fourth(time 1), seventh(time 2), and fifteenth(time 3) days postpartum. Sasang constitutional types were determined by a medical specialist, using results from the Two Step Questionnaire for Sasang Constitution Diagnosis(TS-QSCD). Results: 1. The overall depressive symptoms and fatigue scores decreased significantly over time in early postpartum women. 2. The mean scores for the EPDS and FCF were higher in the Soeumin group than in other groups. The scores for EPDS and FCF dropped sharply in comparison to a former level in the Soyangin group. And the mean EPDS score was lower in the Soyangin group than in other groups. The EPDS and FCF scores in the Taeeumin group changed slightly over time. However, these results were not statistically significant according to Sasang constitution. 3. The relationship between postpartum depression and fatigue showed a significant positive correlation. Conclusions: These results suggest that, in early postpartum women, depressive symptoms and fatigue differ according to Sasang constitution.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibility of Korea Sasang Constitutional Diagnostic Questionnaire(KS-15) when was applied to the Vietnamese. Methods The subjects of this study were Vietnamese participants who visited National Hospital of Traditional Medicine in Hanoi in 2012-2013 among the data established at the Korean Medicine Data Center. Among them, 188 people were used to assess the reliability, and 116 people were used to assess the validity. The reliability test was conducted through test-retest analysis, and the validity test was conducted through cross analysis comparing to diagnosis by Sasang Constitutional experts. Results & Conclusions Three items of total 14 items, except for BMI, showed 0.4 or below in Kappa, 3 items were ranged in 0.4-0.6 and 8 items showed 0.6 or over, using 188 people. The concordance rate between the results of KS-15 and diagnosis of experts was 66.4% in 116 people (85.4% in Taeeumin, 47.4% in Soeumin, and 64.9% in Soyangin). The KS-15 could be usable for supporting to diagnose the Sasang constitution of the Vietnamese.

1. Objectives This study was designed to research the relationship between Sasang Constitution and Framingham coronary risk score(FRS), 2. Methods 666 people, over 40 years old, were participated in the community-based cohort in Wonju, South Korea from July 2nd to August 30th in 2006, Sasang Constitutional Diagnosis was carried out using PSSC(Phonetic System of Sasang Constitution), face and tongue photos and a checkup list, Framingham coronary risk score(FRS) was calculated using previously studied sheets adopted from KCDC(Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention). 3. Results The average FRS of men was 7,06 and that of female was 8,19 which was significantly higher than that of men. There were significant differences between Taeeumin and other constitutions in women, whereas no differences among male constitutions. Analyzing adjusted ORs for CHD risk intervals according to Sasang constitution, they were 0.96 in Taeeumin and 1.70 in Soyangin to Soeumin. Also 0.55 in Taeeumin and 3.39 in Soyangin to Soeumin in men, 1.96 in Taeeumin and 1.87 in Soyangin to Soeumin in women. Women had highet FRS than men and female Taeeumin group have highet FRS points and CRP than other constitutions. 4. Conclusions Regarding the positive relationship between FRS, APG and CRP, it is thought to be useful to understand APG and CRP results at the same time when calculating FRS. When it comes to prevention and screening of CHD, female Taeeumin should be more careful and female Soyangin also should have a consideration of heart disease.

Objectives This study aims to identify differences in clinical manifestations of COVID-19 between different Sasang constitution. Methods Subjects were recruited from August 29, 2022, to July 11, 2023. COVID-19 clinical symptoms were self-reported via questionnaires. Sasang constitutional diagnosis was performed using the K-PRISM, and Sasang constitutional specialist. Results A total of 66 subjects were recruited for the study, and the Sasang constitutional distribution of the subjects was 19 soyangin, 25 taeeumin, and 22 soeumin. For most of the COVID-19 clinical manifestations, the study found that soyangin experienced symptoms at a higher rate than other constitutions. Among the symptoms observed in the study, sore throat, pantalgia, and cough were severe in all subjects regardless of constitution. Soeumin was more likely to experience abdominal pain, chest pain, and diarrhea, while soyangin was more likely to experience chest pain, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and cutaneous symptoms compared to other constitutions. Taeeumin had more sputm, nasal congestion, and skin symptoms, but fewer digestive symptoms. There were differences in the onset and duration of symptoms by constitution. Conclusions This study is an important contribution to our understanding of the differences in response to the COVID-19 virus among different Sasang constitutions. Symptomatic differences between constitutions may have important implications for prevention and treatment strategies for infectious diseases, and personalized treatment and management based on these differences may be needed in the future.
