Objectives: Formulas for treatment of yin or yang deficiency conditions have been commonly used in traditional Korean medicine. The aim of this study is to examine the possible inhibitory effects of yin- or yang-tonifying formulas on in vivo anti-platelet activity and in vivo anti-thrombotic activity. Methods: We tested the effects of 26 types of yin- or yang-tonifying formulas on platelet aggregation induced by collagen in human whole blood using the impedance method of aggregometry and accessed a biomarker of platelet activation using thromboxane $B_2$ immunoassay. We also tested the anti-thrombotic effects of effective candidates on experimental models of thrombosis in mice. Results: 3 types of yin-tonifying formulas and 3 types of yin-yang-tonifying formulas were selected to be the most effective candidates (p<0.01). Also, through in vivo study, the antithrombotic activities of Igyeong-tang, Gamisipjeondaebo-tang, and Gamisoyo-san-treated groups, with recovery rate of 60, 50, and 45.45%, respectively, were observed to be higher than those of the control group (saline, 36.8%) in mouse acute thrombosis. Conclusion: These results show that yin-tonifying formulas are more effective in anti-platelet and anti-thrombotic activity than yang-tonifying formulas.

Objectives: To evaluate the reliability of a pattern identification tool for benign prostatic hyperplasia and to examine the relationship between pattern identification tool readings and IPSS and uroflowmetry. Methods: We analyzed 56 patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia from December 27th, 2017 to December 26th, 2018 by two different Korean medical doctors and followed with a pattern identification tool and by IPSS and uroflowmetry. One week later, the patients were retested to analyze the reliability of the pattern identification tool, determined with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) using the test-retest method. The correlation between IPSS and uroflowmetry was analyzed with the Pearson coefficient. Result: The reliability of the pattern identification tool for benign prostatic hyperplasia was evaluated as "poor agreement beyond chance" (ICC=0.349). The reliability of each pattern identification score was evaluated as "good" for Yang Deficiency of Kidney, Yin Deficiency of Kidney, Deficiency of Middle Qi, and Dampness-heat of Lower Energizer. The internal consistency was evaluated as "good" for Yang Deficiency of Kidney, Yin Deficiency of Kidney, and Dampness-heat of Lower Energizer, and as "excellent" for Deficiency of Middle Qi. The correlation between pattern identification and IPSS was evaluated as a "moderate positive correlation" for all pattern identifications. The average flow rate and maximum flow rate using uroflowmetry was evaluated with "moderate negative correlation" for Yang Deficiency of Kidney and Dampness-heat of Lower Energizer. Conclusion: The reliability of a pattern identification tool for benign prostatic hyperplasia was evaluated as "poor agreement beyond chance." Further research is needed.
