Objectives The purpose of this study is to design a research to find clinical factors involved in the decision-making process for determining the constitutional prescription based on prospective clinical data. Methods We have created a draft of the case report form. Therefore, seven constitutional experts was interviewed for additional items to be important used to determine the constitutional prescription in clinic. Interviews were done from December 2012 to March 2014, experts per person 2-3 times, took time of about 120 minutes per interview. Since then, we developed the final case report form through the expert meeting. At the same time, the developing the electronic case report form (eCRF) and the protocol to collect constitutional treatment cases was also discussed. Results & Conclusions The items of the case report form were subject general, lifestyle, health measurement, record of expert, prescription and evaluation after medication. The part of the clinical symptoms of the record of expert allowed to be recorded in the 5-point scale for the collection of quantitative data as much as possible. Assuming a re-visit of the patient, if necessary, twice the recording were to be possible. At the same time, the eCRF and the protocol to collect constitutional treatment cases were also developed. In this study, it will be able to more objectively standardize the medical decision making process that the experts of constitutional prescription decision. As a result, it will be possible to provide the standardized constitutional medical services.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) according to the Sasang constitution (SC) and cold and heat pattern identification (CHPI). Methods: SC, CHPI, MetS, and component data were obtained from 2,561 participants in 26 Korean medical clinics from 2007 to 2013. SC, diagnosed by Korean medicine doctors, was confirmed by positive responses to herbal medicines administered according to that constitution. The CHPI was verified by a questionnaire about thermal sensitivity and drinking habits. The diagnosis criteria for MetS were: 1) waist circumference (WC) ≥90 cm (male) and ≥80 cm (female); 2) triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL; 3) high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) <40 mg/dL (male) and <50 mg/dL (female); 4) blood pressure ≧130/85 mmHg; and 5) fasting blood glucose ≥100 mg/dL. Odds ratios (ORs) and differences in MetS and its components were compared using logistic regression and ANCOVA. Results: The MetS prevalence rates were 54.1%, 22.0%, and 33.3% for Taeeumin (TE), Soeumin (SE), and Soyangin (SY), respectively, and 30.5% and 44.5% for the cold and heat patterns, respectively. ANCOVA for MetS components showed significantly higher WC in TE than in SE or SY, and all components except HDL were higher in the heat pattern group than in the cold pattern group. Logistic regression for MetS prevalence showed a significant association between TE and the heat pattern group (OR=1.653) but not for non-TE and the cold pattern group. Conclusions: Considering SC and CHPI together may be more effective in managing MetS than considering SC alone.

Objectives Iridology is a field of study that diagnoses various systemic diseases through analysis of colors, structural characteristics and changes in iris. The purpose of this study was to review previously published study results of the iridology. Methods The studies were searched with the keyword "iridology" through search engines such as SCOPUS, Pub med, RISS, and NDSL. Total of 36 iridology-related studies published from 1980 to 2012 were analyzed. Results Most diagnoses of systemic disease through iris markings were insignificant. The studies on relevance of gene polymorphism and iris constitution were highly significant. The studies on relevance of Sasang constitution and iris constitution varied in results depending on diagnosis methods. The studies on relevance of iris constitution and diseases had significant results. The structural characteristics of iris were related to certain personality. Conclusions The studies on utility of iris diagnosis and diagnostic markings were negative, but the relevance of constitution, heredity, and iris diagnosis was positive. A persistent in-depth study on relevance of iris and constitution is needed in the future.

In order to deduce the pathogenic factor(PF) diagnosis logic of underlying in pattern identification of Korean medicine, 2,072 cases of DSOM(Diagnosis System of Oriental Medicine) data from May 2005 to April 2022 were collected and analyzed by means of decision tree model(DTM). The entire data were divided into training data and validation data at a ratio of 7:3. The CHAID algorithm was used for analysis of DTM, and then validity was tested by applying the validation data. The decision rules of items and pathways determined from the diagnosis data of Qi Deficiency, Blood Deficiency, Yin Deficiency and Yang Deficiency Pathogenic Factor of DSOM were as follows. Qi Deficiency PF had 7 decision rules and used 5 questions: Q124, Q116a, Q119, Q119a, Q55. The primary indicators(PI) were 'lack of energy' and 'weary of talking'. Blood deficiency PF had 7 decision rules and used 6 questions: Q113, Q84, Q85, Q114, Q129, Q130. The PI were 'numbness in the limbs', 'dizziness when standing up', and 'frequent cramps'. Yin deficiency PF had 3 decision rules and used 2 questions: Q144 and Q56. The PI were 'subjective heat sensation from the afternoon to night' and 'heat sensation in the limbs'. Yang deficiency PF had 3 decision rules and used 3 questions: Q55, Q10, and Q102. The PI were 'sweating even with small movements' and 'lack of energy'. Conclusively, these rules and symptom information to decide the Qi·Blood·Yin·Yang Deficiency PF would be helpful for Korean medicine diagnostics.

연구목적(硏究目的) : 한의학(韓醫學)의 최근(最近)의 연구(硏究) 경향에 있어서 많은 시도와 다양한 접근이 이루어지고 있음을 우리는 알 수 있다. 그 중 형상의학(形象醫學)이라는 분야는 기존 한의학(韓醫學)의 전통적(傳統的) 이론(理論)을 근거로 하고 다양한 임상적 지식을 결합하여 이루어진 것으로서 의학적(醫學的) 진단(診斷)과 치료(治療), 예후(豫後) 그리고 예방적(豫防的) 차원(次元)에서 유용하게 응용(應用)되고 있다. 이러한 형상의학(形象醫學)은 다양한 연구와 임상적 지식, 그리고 깊이 있는 한의학(韓醫學) 이론 (理論)의 이해를 필요로 하고 있으며 그 의학적(醫學的) 가치는 더욱 증가하고 있다. 사상의학(四象醫學)에서도 이와 같은 형상의학(形象醫學)적인 내용이 중요하게 다루어지고 있는데, 이는 사실상 사상체질변증(四象體質辯證)이라는 사상의학(四象醫學)의 주요 과제와 맞물려 있는 내용이기도 하다. 사상의학(四象醫學)에서의 형상적(形象的)인 개념이 비교적 종합적으로 제시되어 있는 부분은 <변증론(辦證論)>이라 할 수 있는데 <변증론(辯證論)>에는 태소음양인(太小陰陽人)의 네 가지 체질(體質)에 따른 체형기상(體形氣象)과 용모사기(容貌詞氣) 등이 설명되어 있다. 그러나 보다 원리적인 설명은 <변증론(辯證論)>에는 생략되어 있다. 사상의학(四象醫學)을 관통하고 있는 근본 정신은 사상정신(四象精神) 즉 사심신물(事心身物)이라는 사물류적(四物類的) 요약정신(要約精神)이다. 따라서 사상의학(四象醫學)의 형상(形象) 에 관한 부분도 기본적인 이론(理論)이나 정신(精神)에 입각한 연구(硏究)가 선행되는 것이 바람직하다 할 수 있다. 이에 저자(著者)는 사상의학(四象醫學)의 원리론(原理論)이라 할 수 있는 <성명론(性命論)>에서 <직부록(職腑論)>까지의 고찰(考察)을 시도하여 이제마 의 형상관(形象觀)이 어떻게 표현되고 있으며 사심신물(事心身物)의 정신(精神)에 입각하여 이들이 어떠한 관계를 가지고 있는지 살펴보고자 한다. 연구방법(硏究方法) : 먼저 사상(四象)의 개념에 대한 기원(起源)을 살펴보고 <성명론(性命論>, <사단론(四端論)>, <확충론(擴充論)>, <직부론(職腑服論)>에 나타난 형상(形象)과 관련 있는 대상을 정리하였으며 고찰(考察)을 통해 그들이 가지는 사심신물(事心身物)이라는 사상정신(四象精神)에 입각한 관계성을 알아보고자 하였다. 그리고 그러한 형상적(形象的) 대상들을 사상구조(四象構造)로 분류하여 사상의학(四象醫學)의 형상적(形象的) 대상들을 사상정신(四象精神) 속에서 전체적으로 이해(理解)하고자 하였다. 추가적(追加的)으로 오행적(五行的) 관점(觀點)에서의 인체(人體) 형상(形象)과 사상적(思想的) 관점(觀點)에서의 인체(人體) 형상(形象)을 비교(比較)함으로써 사상의학(四象醫學) 형상관(形象觀)의 특징(特徵)을 <변증론(辨證論)>을 비롯한 기존(旣存)의 연구(硏究) 자료(資料)를 바탕으로 살펴보았다. 연구결과(硏究結果) 형상적(形象的) 대상으로서 제시된 각 부위는 모두 사심신물(事心身物)의 정신(精神) 속에서 분류되어 있고 이를 바탕으로 일관적으로 설명되고 있다. 이들 형상(形象)은 오행적(五行的) 관점(觀點)의 형상(形象)과 달리 기능적(機能的) 측면이 중시되어 있는데 이는 단순한 형상(形象)의 모습만이 아닌 수행하는 기능이나, 그 형상(形象)을 통해 드러나는 심욕(心慾)을 관찰하는 대상으로서의 형상(形象)이 중시됨을 의미한다. 내경의학(內經醫學) 즉 오행적(五行的) 관점(觀點)에서의 인체(人體) 형상(形象)은 오직배속(五職配屬)이 기본이 되어 있으며, 형상(形象)의 관찰을 통해 직부(職服)의 허실(虛實)이나 병(病)의 상태를 알아내는 진단적(診斷的) 성격의 형상(形象)인 반면 이제마의 사상의학(四象醫學)에서의 형상(形象)은 직부(職服)의 대소(大小), 성정(性情), 심욕(心慾) 등을 모두 반영하는 것으로서 사상체질변증적(四象體質辯證的) 성격을 갖고 있는 형상(形象)이다. 사상의학(四象醫學)에서의 형상(形象)들을 다시 군(群)으로 묶어 사적(事的)인 형상군(形象群)(이목비구(耳目鼻口) 등), 물적(物的)인 형상군(形象群)(폐비간신(肺脾肝腎) 등), 심적(心的)인 형상군(形象群)(함억제복), 신적(身的)인 형상군(形象群)(두견요둔(頭肩腰臀))으로 분류할 수 있다. 이때 사물적(事物的)인 형상(形象)은 이목비구(耳目鼻口)와 폐비간신(肺脾肝腎) 등 천품적(天稟的)으로 타고난 편차를 드러내는 정적(靜的)인 형상(形象)이라 할 수 있고 심신적(心身的)인 형상(形象)은 함억제복과 두견요둔(頭肩腰臀) 등 심욕(心慾)을 반영하는 동적(動的)인 형상(形象)이라 할 수 있다. <변증론(辯證論)>에 제시되고 있는 체형기상(體形氣象), 성질재간(性質材幹), 용막사기(容貌詞氣) 등은 사물적(事物的)인 형상(形象)으로 살펴볼 수 있다. 따라서 이것 이외에 <성명론(性命論)>에서 <직부론(鐵腑論)>까지의 원리론적(原理論的)인 과정에서 제시된 심욕(心慾)을 관찰하는 함억제복과 두견요둔(頭肩腰臀)의 형상에 대한 고찰이 필요하다고 하겠다.

1. 목적 네 가지 유형의 사상체질에 대한 한열증을 알아보고, 이것이 각 체질에 대한 생리, 병리의 이해와 진단, 치료에 도움을 주고자 하였다. 2. 방법 동의수세보원에 나타난 생리, 병리와 몇 가지 증후를 통한 한열증의 개념과, 기존의학에서의 한열증의 개념을 고찰해 보았다. 3. 결과 및 결론 병증과 편명을 중심으로, 비신의 수곡출납의 과정에 따라, 소음인은 '이한'한 체질적 소인을 바탕으로 표열 이한증으로 소양인은 '이열'한 체질적 소인을 바탕으로 표한 이열증으로 나타난다. 한편, 간폐의 기액내외 호산에 따라, 태음인은 '소병한다자'와 '소병열다자'로 나누어지는 경향이 있으며, 태양인은 한증이나 열증으로 치우쳐진 경향이 아닌 '불한불열'의 특정을 나타낸다. 몇가지 증후(편비, 설사, 한출, 소변, 구토)를 중심으로 각 체질의 한열 속성에 따라 각 증후의 한열 개념이 정해지는 것을 알 수 있는데, 이러한 것은 '체질적' 변증 방법을 제시한 것으로 사료된다.
