We can understand "Shanghanlun(傷寒論)" and "Wenbingtiaobian(溫病條辨)" which are major books on externally contracted diseases well by making a comparative study of their similarities and differences. After studying etiological causes and characteristics of disease, disease pattern, syndrome differentiation, transmutation rules, following conclusions are derived. While cold is an etiological cause of Cold damage and harms Yang qi, heat is an etiological cause of Warm disease and harms Yin qi. Cold damage and Warm disease have something in common in the respect of damage to fluid and humor and Yang qi. Exuberant heat symptom of Yang brightness disease and lesser yin heat transformation pattern have similar damage to fluid and humor as Warm disease does. Warm disease can reach qi collapse syndrome through damage to Yang qi following fluid and humor damage. In the respect of water qi, as Cold damage makes water-dampness retain easily due to cold congealing, dampness-draining diuretic medicinal and warm yang medicinal are used together. As warm disease damages fluid and humor, yin-tonifying medicinal is used and dampness-draining diuretic medicinal can be used in the case of Warm disease with dampness. In the respect of disease pattern, cold syndromes arise mostly by Cold damage except heat syndrome of grater yang disease, chest bind syndrome, stuffiness syndrome, reverting yin disease and yang brightness disease. Warm disease is classified as pure heat syndrome and heat syndrome with bowel excess, damage to yin, qi collapse or damage to blood.

This study on "Wenbingtiaobian" covers identifying pattern of prescription, understanding system of multiple syndrome differentiations, characteristics of treatment and medicinal substances. The source books are "Korean translation of Wenbingtiaobian", "Modern Shanghanlun", "Jinkuiyaolueyishi", "Chinese Medicine Formulas". "Wenbingtiaobian" has system of multiple patterns including three energizer syndrome differentiation, classification of disease, six meridian syndrome differentiation and wei-qi-ying-xue syndrome differentiation. That describes cause, location, nature, power and transmutation of disease. Wei-qi-ying-xue pattern is meaningful to warm-heat disease and three energizer pattern is relevant to dampness-heat disease. The warm disease shows mostly yang brightness bowel syndrome and patterns of three yin viscera. In aspect of the heat disease, qi aspect pattern makes up the largest number of syndrome differentiation and have sometimes with bowel excess or fluid deficiency. And treatment for wei aspect pattern is primarily 'outthrust the pathogen with pungent-cool'. Deficiency cold pattern and cold pattern with dampness occupy most of cold patterns. And many dampness patterns are dampness-heat pattern in middle energizer and 'inhibited lung qi transforming' is major mechanism. Patterns with fluid deficiency in qi aspect syndrome appear mostly in upper or middle energizer and in xue aspect syndrome appear mostly in lower energizer and they form 20% of all syndrome differentiations. The treatment of clearing heat uses pungent-cool(cold) for upper energizer, sweet-cold for middle energizer, sweet(salty)-cold for lower energizer. The treatment of tonifying yin uses mostly salty-cold for middle or lower energizer. The treatment of outthrusting pathogen is applied to all the wei-qi-ying-xue aspect combined with other treatments by using pungent-cool(cold) and light herbs. Understanding diseases in the respect of syndrome differentiation can enhance understanding of modern diseases from a perspective of Korean Traditional Medicinal(KTM) and can make clinical application of KTM treatments easy. Data from this study are expected to be basic for standardization and systemization of KTM.

The Dryness and the Dampness is the congential nature. the Water and Fire is the acquired action. the skin is related to the physiological function of the lung, so the skin is the domain of the lung. the lung belongs to the dryness-metal(燥金). And the Dryness and the Dampness in the six pathogenic factors exert a important pathogenic influence upon the skin. Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition charactered by red, silver scaly patches in the affected areas, it is caused by excessive growth of the top layer of the skin(epidermis). Scalp psoriasis affects at least two thirds people who have psoriasis. Generally, the scalp will have plaque psoriasis characterized by elevated, inflamed, lesions covered with silvery white scales. The lesion of psoriasis is head, elbow and knee that are yang-channels in Oriental medicine. The syndrome falls with in the purview of the dryness-metal(燥金). In time, psoriasis takes a turn for the worse in the winter season. In space, many of people in comparison to the average in the world have psoriasis in high latitude that is dry and cold, for instance, the Scandinavian peninsula. Deficiency of yin-fluid and blood course often the dryness-syndrome, for instance, psoriasis, etc. So psoriasis is one of the dryness-syndrome in Oriental medicine.

Objectives : This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the Oriental medical diagnosis and arteriosclerosis by measuring carotid-ankle vascular index(CAVI) in acute cerebral infarction patients. Method : One hundred thirty-one subjects were recruited from the patients admitted to the Internal Medical Department at Kyunghee University Oriental Medical Center from April 2007 to August 2008. We sorted cerebral infarction patients and assessed one hundred fourteen patients' CAVI data. We diagnosed dampness-phlegm by Oriental medical diagnosis and evaluated stroke type by single or multiple infarctions. then, we analyzed their characteristics with type of stroke, risk factor, lifestyle, metabolic syndrome and dampness-phlegm diagnosis. Result : 1. On the demographic variables of the patients, age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, multiple infarction group and metabolic syndrome and dampness-phlegm group were significantly higher in the high CAVI score group than in the control. 2. According to the significant difference in the dampness-phlegm group, we analyzed dampness-phlegm related index for pattern identifications by CAVI score. As a result, dark circles, insomnia, headache, white coating tongue. slippery pulse, and rough pulse were significantly higher in the high CAVI score group then in the control. 3. In multivariate analysis, age, hypertension, multiple infarction and dampness-phlegm groups showed a close relationship with the high CAVI score group. Conclusions : According to the analysis, significance between dampness-phlegm diagnosed patients group and high CAVI score were clarified. Moreover, multiple location infarctions also have a relationship with high CAVI score in cerebral infarction patients. These results can be utilized in the future as a basis material.

Four groups each containing 48 seven-day-old broiler chicks were reared for 7 weeks during winter on rice husk litter spread to depths of 20, 30, 40 or 50 mm. Broiler performance was evaluated in terms of weight gain, feed consumption, feed efficiency and production number. Litter dampness was determined and coccidial oocyst populations were counted at different weeks of age. The depth of litter did not significantly affect live weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, liveability or production number. Variation in moisture contents of litter was observed but the coccidial oocysts count per gramme of litter was within the safety level and therefore, there was no outbreak of coccidiosis in any group. Use of rice husk litter at different depths (20 to 50 mm) did not cause any breast blisters or leg abnormalities. It was concluded that rice husk can be used as litter at depths of between 20 and 50 mm during winter to raise broilers without affecting performance characteristics and health of birds.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to understand formation courses of the ten types of LBP (十種腰痛) in Korean medicine through reviewing classic literatures. Methods We summarized sentences describing syndrome differentiation of LBP directly in Uibujeonrok (醫部全錄) and Donguibogam (東醫寶鑑), and then organized similarities and differences among diagnostic factors described in the classic literatures. Results In most of the classics LBP was classified according to the cause but the causes varied depending on the classic literatures. Cheonkeumbang (千金方) tried to suggest a reasonable classification of LBP in a relatively early age. In Dangyesimbeop (丹溪心法) the causes of LBP were divided into 6 factors; qi movement stagnation (氣鬱), dampness-heat (濕熱), kidney deficiency (腎虛), static blood (瘀血), sprain (挫閃) and phlegm accumulation (積痰). It had a lot of influence on the classic literatures published later. Donguibogam was also influenced by the Dangyesimbeop and the ten types of LBP in Donguibogam was similar to the information on the classification shown in Uihakipmun (醫學入門) and Uijongpildok (醫宗必讀). Conclusions We verified universality of the ten types of LBP; kidney deficiency, phlegm-retained fluid (痰飮), food accumulation (食積), sprain, static blood, wind (風), cold (寒), dampness (濕), dampness-heat and qi (氣).

Many of the diseases that occur in a life being are either closely related to water, or they occur by loss or deterioration of water metabolism. There are six parts of study on this subject in ${\ulcorner}$Dongeubogam${\lrcorner}$. The parts are, the part of Jinaek the part of Dameum the part of Sobyeon the part of Bujong the part of Changman and the part of Seub. In these parts, it mentions loss of perspiration, abnormal urination, edema, abdominal dropsy, formation of abnormal body fluid and intrusion of dampness into the body and etc as the abnormal water metabolism. Loss of perspiration and urination is a process of eliminating the dampness in the body. Perspiration would be the abnormality of yanghwa[陽化]. Urination would be the loss of eumhwa[陰化]. Eum[飮] is the fluid accumulated in the body that failed to go through the process of Cihwa[氣化]. Dam[痰] is formed when the body fluid is heated by the smoking-fire. Meanwhile, the dampness occurs when the water penetrates into the bones, muscles and joints. Edema and abdominal dropsy are both outcomes of accumulated body fluid. Edema is the liquified body fluid congested on the surface or the peripheral ends of the body. Abdominal dropsy is congestion of fluid, that lost the characteristic of blood due to blood deterioration, in the abdominal part.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of Bi-Su as a pattern identification (PI) index in stroke patients. Methods : The subjects were 424 hospitalized stroke patients within 1 month from onset and diagnosed with the same PI subtypes (dampness & phlegm, qi deficiency, fire & heat, eum deficiency, and blood stasis) by agreement of two clinical experts. Bi-Su type is a kind of body shape (Bi : fat, Su : lean). Bi-Su type and degree (Bi-Su score) were decided by clinical expert. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were used as an obesity index. Correlation analysis between Bi-Su score and obesity index (Spearman) and variance analysis for Bi-Su score, BMI, and WHR among PI subtypes (ANOVA) and sex were carried out. Results : While there was partial correlation between Bi-Su type and BMI($r^2$=0.634, p<0.001), the distribution of the BMI group based on the Bi-Su group showed the broadest range. The Bi-Su score in the dampness & phlegm group was higher than in the other groups (p<0.001). BMI in the dampness & phlegm groups was also higher but the BMI differences among PI subtypes was low (p=0.002). The Bi-Su score in the dampness & phlegm group was similar in both sexes, although the hand score in the eum deficiency group was the lowest, especially in males. Conclusions : Although BMI is not an objective enough tool for evaluating Bi-Su type, Bi-Su type is more appropriate than BMI as PI index. Therefore Bi-Su type could be used as one of the PI indices for dampness & phlegm or eum deficiency group in stroke patients.

This study was performed to investigate relationship between each pattern identification and heart rate variability(HRV) indices. We analyzed 201 subjects who participated in stroke check up. We classified the subjects into four groups of pattern identifications; Fire-Heat pattern(FH), Yin Deficiency pattern(YD), Qi Deficiency pattern(QD) and Dampness-Phlegm pattern(DP) that based on Korean Standard Pattern Identifications for Stroke-III. We investigated significance of HRV indices between each pattern identification and heart rate variability indices. The total number of the subject group was 201, whereas the groups were divided into four groups; Fire-Heat pattern group(n=47), Yin Deficiency pattern(n=65), Qi Deficiency pattern(n=33), and Dampness-Phlegm pattern(n=56). SDNN, TP, Ln(TP), VLF, Ln(VLF), LF, Ln(LF) and HF were significantly higher in the Fire-Heat pattern(FH) group than other groups of pattern identifications, but there was no differences among the Yin Deficiency group, the Qi Deficiency group and the Dampness-Phlegm group. Ln(HF), LF(NORM), HF(NORM) and LF/HF ratio were significantly higher in the Fire-Heat group than in the Qi Deficiency group. However, there was no significant differences among the Dampness-Phlegm group, the Yin Deficiency group, Fire-Heat group and the Qi Deficiency group. Through this study, we found out some significant relationships between each pattern identification group and HRV indices. The result of this study demonstrates that sympathetic nerve was more active in the Fire-Heat group than other groups.
