  • Objectives: Eight Constitution Medicine (ECM) categorizes individuals into eight constitutions based on physiological differences in organ relations and recommends different diets for different constitutions. This study presents a preliminary analysis of the effect of following constitutional food regimens on quality of life and health outcomes for different constitutions. Methods: This cross-sectional, comparative study used subjects recruited from Essen University Hospital Traditional Chinese Medicine Center in Germany. From a convenience sample of 243 Germans, those in the groups Hepatonia/Cholecystonia (n = 95) and Pulmotonia/Colonotonia (n = 26) were analyzed for health outcomes in relation to their dietary habits of either including or avoiding meat. Health outcomes were measured with SF-36, self-reported survey. Results: The two groups had no significant differences in the health outcomes of SF-36. However, subjects in Hepatonia/Cholecystonia who had followed their dietary habit for more than 20 years had significantly better scores on general health, social functioning, mental health, emotional role functioning, and mental component scores than those in Pulmotonia/Colonotonia, regardless of their meat intake. Conclusions: This study established initial groundwork for considering patients' constitutions when evaluating health outcomes and their relation to diet. Further studies are warranted on the effects of regulating food intake according to individual constitution.

  • Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) accumulation is a constitutional disorder resulting from metabolic syndrome. Although surgical and non-surgical methods for reducing SAT exist, patients remain non-compliant because of potential adverse effects and cost. In this study, we developed a new minimally-invasive approach to achieve SAT reduction, using a microneedle (MN) patch prepared from gelatin, which is capable of regulating fat metabolism. Four gelatin types were used: three derived from fish (SA-FG, GT-FG 220, and GT-FG 250), and one from swine (SM-PG 280). We applied gelatin-based MN patches five times over 4 weeks to rats with high-fat diet (HD)-induced obesity, and determined the resulting amount of SAT. We also investigated the histological features and determined the expression levels of fat metabolism-associated genes in SAT using hematoxylin and eosin staining and western blotting, respectively. SAT decreased following treatment with all four gelatin MN patches. Smaller adipocytes were observed in the regions treated with SA-FG, GT-FG 250, and SM-PG 280 MNs, demonstrating a decline in fat accumulation. The expression levels of fat metabolism-associated genes in the MN-treated SAT revealed that GT-FG 220 regulates fatty acid synthase (FASN) protein levels. These findings suggest that gelatin MN patches aid in decreasing the quantity of unwanted SAT by altering lipid metabolism and fat deposition.

  • 한국 여성 20세부터 70세 사이 214명의 체질을 분석한 결과 목양(Hepatonia) 16.8%, 목음(Cholecystonia) 2.3%, 토양(Pancreotonia) 58.9%, 금양(Pulmotonia) 5.1%, 그리고 금음체질(colonotonia)은 16.8% 이었으며 토음(Gastrotonia), 수양(Renotonia) 및 수음 (Vesicotonia) 체질을 지닌 피험자는 없었다. 체질별 신체적 특성은 목체질군 (목양, 목음)이 금체질군 (금양, 금음)에 비해 체중과 BMI가 유의적으로 높았으며(p<0.05), 토양체질은 목체질과 금체질의 중간적 특징을 나타내었다. 에너지 섭취수준은 체질별 차이가 없었으며 지방 섭취량은 체질 간 유의적인 차이를 나타내는데 목음 체질이 가장 높았고, 금양 체질이 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). 이들 영양소 섭취량을 에너지 섭취수준에 대한 비율로 산출하였을 때 탄수화물 및 지방 섭취 비율이 체질 군 간 유의적인 차이를 나타내었다. 공복 혈당 및 인슐린 농도는 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 금양체질에서 상대적으로 높았다. 혈중 지질 농도를 비교해 보면 목음 체질의 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤 및 LDL-C 농도는 금양 체질에 비해 각각 153.44%, 126.87%, 그리고 131.99% 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 본 결과로부터 영양소 섭취 수준과 건강상태를 살펴보았을 때, 칼로리 섭취량, 단백질 및 지방섭취량이 높은 목음 체질은 BMI 및 혈중 지질 농도가 다른 군에 비해 유의적으로 높았고, 총 칼로리 섭취수준 대비 탄수화물 섭취 비율이 높고 지방 섭취비율이 낮은 금양체질은 혈중 지질 농도는 다른 군에 비해 유의적으로 낮으나, 공복혈당 및 인슐린 농도는 유의적이지는 않으나 체질 군 중 가장 높았다. 이상의 결과에 의하면 개인의 체질에 따라 영양소 섭취량이 다르고, 그 결과 체중, 혈중 지질, 혈당 등의 건강지표가 다름을 알 수 있었다. 이에 8체질 의학에서 주장하는 인간은 타고난 장부의 강약에 따라 건강에 차이가 있기 때문에 이를 유지하기 위해 섭생 및 생활습관을 조절하는 것이 중요하다는 이론을 확인하였다.

  • Background: The recent outbreak of the novel strain of influenza A (H1N1) virus has raised a global concern of the future risk of pandemic. Traditional Korean Medicine(TKM) has been combatting against contagious diseases and developed its own particular and efficient way in treating those diseases. Objectives: Provide a distinctive and effective TKM method in understanding the principles of treatment, prevention, and contraindications against influenza A through case histories. Method: We revised case histories of eminent doctors of Ming and Qing dynasties according to their clinical manifestations similar to those of influenza A. We also verified prescriptions of the "Dong-uibogam(東醫寶鑑)" through examining clinical practices of China today. Results: 1. The subtypes of Warm disease; Wind Warmth and Pestilence has the most similar clinical manifestation in comparison to Influenza A. Specifying these terms is important in recognizing and classifying various diseases under the name of Warm disease. 2. TKM considered not only external factors but also individual factors like general condition, diet, emotion, constitutional types, etc in the treatment of febrile diseases. 3. TKM developed a new way in the treatment of contagious diseases. considering the characteristics of each pathogen. TKM described the Warm pathogen being light as a feather, which enters through the nose, principally affecting the Lung. Therefore, they emphasized treatment with Pungent Sweet Cooling Moistening[辛甘凉潤] method. 4. As the conservation of fluid and humor is the primordial concern in the treatment of Warm disease, they restricted release of the exterior with pungent-warm and purgation method. The purgation methods was used exclusively to decrease fever and preserve fluid and humor. 5. The only differentiating characteristics of Influenza A with seasonal influenza are vomiting and diarrhea. Case research revealed the possibility of these manifestations to be a mechanism of restoration. 6. TKM provides alimento prevention method like Mint Pear Porridge, mung bean, and etc also combination of herbal medicine. Also emphasized in the conservation of essence for the prevention of contagious diseases. Conclusions: TKM developed its unique way in understanding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of contagious diseases and formed its independent scheme of Warm Disease. This knowledge in febrile contagious disease is relevant today in providing diverse treatment and prevention for influenza A.

  • 담음(痰飮)은 질병(疾病)의 경과중에 발생되는 병리적(病理的)인 산물(産物)로, 담음(痰飮) 자체가 질병(疾病)의 원인(原因)이 될 수 있으며, 질병(疾病)의 결과물로 생길수도 있다. 저자는 <내경(內經)> 이후의 역대(歷代) 문헌(文獻) 고찰(考察)을 통해 담음(痰飮)이 중풍(中風)의 발생에 미치는 영향과, 아울러 담음(痰飮)과 진액(津液)의 관계, 진액(津液)과 뇌(腦)의 관계, 담음(痰飮)과 어혈(瘀血)의 관계 등을 연구하였다. 담음(痰飮)은 칠정(七情)의 부조(不調), 정기휴손(精氣虧損), 음식실조(飮食失調), 외감육음(外感六淫), 체질적(體質的) 소인(素因)등의 인자(因子)로 인해 발생되어 열담(熱痰), 풍담(風痰), 습담(濕痰)으로 화(化)하고 장부(臟腑) 경락(經絡)에 울체(鬱滯)하여 기혈(氣血)의 순환을 막아 중풍(中風)을 유발하게 된다. 한편 담음(痰飮)은 진액(津液)으로부터 형성되고, 진액(津液)은 기체(氣滯), 화울(火鬱), 한응(寒凝)의 병리과정(病理過程)을 통하여 담음(痰飮)으로 전화(轉化)되며, 뇌(腦)는 진액(津液)의 자윤(滋潤)과 충양(充養)에 의해 그 기능을 유지한다. 따라서 진액(津液)이 담음(痰飮)으로 전화(轉化)되어 기혈운행(氣血運行)을 막으면 뇌(腦)에도 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 담음(痰飮)과 어혈(瘀血)의 관계를 보면 담음(痰飮)은 어혈(瘀血)과 병리변화(病理變化)에 있어 밀접한 관계에 있으며, 중풍발생(中風發生)에 있어서 담음(痰飮)이 어혈(瘀血)에 선행(先行)하거나, 어혈(瘀血)이 먼저 형성된 후에 담음(痰飮)이 형성되거나, 혹은 서로 겸(兼)하여 발생할 수도 있다.

  • Through this literal study, we have endeavored to provide korea's unique nursing intervention methods based upon Lee Je-Ma's Sasang Constitutional Theory which is a unique korean medical science. The Sasang Constitution Theory lay great emphasis upon health caring medicine to promote health according to self Constitution at normal times, preventive medicine to manage byself body and mind in everyday life, and eventually, ethical medicine to love benevolence and kindness but to dislike jealousy.A variety of methods has been introduced to diagnose a person's Constitution. And yet, appearance, mind and pathological signs are three major criteria. In appearance, comprehensive features such as figure (the shape of the human body), countenance, behavior, mood, and posture are observed. In mind, nature (character), talent, steadiness, personality, and greed are investigated. In pathological signs, physiological conditions when healthy and peculiar symptoms when being ill are diagnosed. By these three criteria, each Constitution is categorised into Taiyang Person, Soyang Person, Taieum Person or Soeum Person. Different healthcaring methods exist for each Constitution such as mind and body healthcaring, diet healthcaring, knowledge and behaviour leathering, age group healthcaring, regional healthcaring, social life hralthcaring, everyday life healthcaring, and materia medication healthcaring. An independent and unique healthcaring method for each person according to self Constitution could be an important nursing intervention strategy, and can product a new nursing theory. To enjoy longevity by inducing positive caring methods, I believe that individual nursing may be the most desirable nursing approach. Lee Je-Ma's Sasang Constitution caring method is not only a general nursing theory but also expected to be an important landmark/milestone/factor in Korean nursing, preventive nursing, developing new nursing intervention methods and forming new nursing theories. Therefore, it is required to conduct thorough, practical and theoretical researches in the field of nursing.

  • We tried to observe the features of ancient medical practice by analysing the records related to medicine in the book, ${\ulcorner}$the Historical Records of the Three Kingdom${\lrcorner}$ of which content includes the features of medicine in mythology, plague, delivery of twins, drugs, medical system, shamanism, constitutional medicine, psychiatry, forensic medicine, deformity, a spa, medical phrase, health and welfare work, religion, death. physiological anatomy, Taoist medicine, acupuncture, the occult af of transformation and etc. Our initial concern was about where to draw line as of medical field and we defined medicine in more broad meaning. The book ${\ulcorner}$the Historical Records of the Three Kingdoms${\lrcorner}$ describes the world of mythology by way of medicine which is not clearly a conventional one. There appears records of birth of multiple offsprings 7 times in which cases are of triplets or more. Delivering multiple offsprings were rare phenomenon though such fertility was highly admired. This shows one aspect of ancient country having more population meant more power of the nation. Of those medical records conveyed in that book includes stories of childbirth such as giving birth to a son after praying, giving birth to Kim Yoo-shin after 20 months after mother's dream of conception, and a song longing for getting a laudable child. Plagues were prevalent throughout winter to spring season and one can observe various symptoms of plagues in the record. Of these epidemic diseases, cold type might have been more common than the heat one. Appearance of epidemic diseases frequently coincided with that of natural disasters that this suggests a linkage between plague and underlying doctrine on five elements' motion and six kinds of natural factors. There exists only a few names of diseases such as epidemic disease, wind disease, and syndrome characterized by dyspnea. Otherwise there appeared only afflictions that were not specified therefore it remains cluless to keep track of certain diseases of prevalence. Since this ${\ulcorner}$Historical Records of the Three Kingdoms'${\lrcorner}$ wasn't any sort of medical book, words and terms used were not technical kind and most were the ones used generally among lay people. Therefore any mechanisms of the diseases were hardly mentioned. Some of medicinal substances such as Calculus Bovis, Radix Ginseng, Gaboderma Luciderm, magnetitum were also in use in those days. 53 kinds of dietary supplies appears in the records and some of these might have been used as medicinal purpose. Records concerning dicipline of one's body includes activities such as hunting, archery, horseback riding etc. In Shilla dynasty there were positions such as professor of medicine, Naekongbong(內供奉), Kongbong's doctor(供奉醫師), Kongbong's diviner(供奉卜師). As an educational facility, medical school was built at the first year of King Hyoso's reign and it's curricula included various subjects as ${\ulcorner}$Shin Nong's Herbal classic${\lrcorner}$, ${\ulcorner}$Kabeul classic of acupuncture and moxbustion${\lrcorner}$, ${\ulcorner}$The Plain Questions of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine${\lrcorner}$, ${\ulcorner}$Classic of Acupuncturer${\lrcorner}$, ${\ulcorner}$The Pulse Classic${\lrcorner}$, ${\ulcorner}$Classic of Channels and Acupuncture Points${\lrcorner}$ and ${\ulcorner}$Difficult Classic${\lrcorner}$. There were 2 medical professors who were in charge of education. To establish pharmacopoeia, 2 Shaji(舍知), 6 Sha(史), 2 Jongshaji(從舍知) were appointed. In Baekje dynasty, Department of Herb was maintained. Doing praying for the sake of health, doing phrenology also can be extended to medical arena. Those who survived over 100 years of age appear 3 times in the record, while 98 appears once. The earliest psychiatrist Nokjin differentiated symptoms to apply either therapies using acupuncture and drug or psychotherapy. There appears a case of rape, a case of burying alive with the dead, 8 cases of suicide that can characterize a prototype of forensic medicine. Deformity-related records include phrases as follow: 'there seems protrudent bone behind the head', 'a body which has two heads, two trunks, four arms.', 'a body equipped with two heads' In those times spa can be said to be used as a place for he리ing, convalescence, and relaxation seeing the records describing a person pretended illness and went to spa to enjoy with his friends. Priest doctors and millitary surgeons were in charge of the medical sevice in the period of the Three Kingdoms by the record written by Mookhoja(墨胡子) and Hoonkyeom(訓謙). Poor diet and regimen makes people more vulnerable to diseases. So there existed charity services for those poor people who couldn't live with one's own capacity such as single parents, orphans, the aged people no one to take care and those who are ill. The cause of affliction was frequently coined with human relation. There appeared the phenomenon of releasing prisoners and allowing people to become priests at the time of king's suffering. Besides, as a healing procedure, sutra-chanting was peformed. There appears 10 cases of death related records which varies from death by drowning, or by freezing, death from animals, death from war, death from wightloss and killing oneself at the moment of spouse's death and etc. There also exist certain records which suggest the knowledge of physiology and anatomy in those times. Since the taoist books such as ${\ulcorner}$Book of the Way and Its Power(老子道德經)${\lrcorner}$ were introduced in the period of Three Kingdoms, it can be considered that medicine was also influenced by taoism. Records of higher level of acupuncture, records which links the medicine and occult art of transformation existed. Although limited, we could figure out the medical state of ancient society.
