1. Objectives : The Crown Prince Sohyen(1612-1645) has been believed ro have been poisoned to death because of the political conflict with the King Injo. However, the Crown Prince Sohyen who was So-yangin(SY type) didn't be treated properly at that time. This paper is supposed to explain the reason why he died by reference. 2. Methods : The prescription which was made out to the Crown Prince Sohyen is analyzed, based on the Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM) through Shimyang-ilgy and Ulyudongkung-ilgy. 3. Results : 1) In the case of the prescription where So-yang medical stuffs were contained a lot or Gunyak(the main madical stuff) was So-yang one, the Crown Prince Sohyen was better, while that of Tae-eum and So-eum medical stuffs didn't work. Therefore, the Crown Prince Sohyen can be considered So-yangin. 2) The So-yang in's symptom was misunderstood as Hakjil and treated, which could lead him to be put to death 4. Conclusions : The Crown Prince Sohyen is supposed to be Soyang-in(SY type), and accordingly the So-yang in's symptom was misunderstood as Hakjil and treated, which could cause him to pass away.

Previous studies have reported an association between poor sleep and various symptoms and diseases, such as fatigue, obesity, depression, and anxiety. The effects of poor sleep may differ by age and sex. In addition, sleep characteristics and their effects may vary according to Sasang constitutional type. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between sleep quality, fatigue, and quality of life and to assess whether these differ by constitutional type. Participants were individuals aged 40-69 years living in two Korean communities in 2012-2014. Sleep quality, fatigue, and quality of life were measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Fatigue Severity Scale, and the 12-item Short Form Health Survey, respectively. The effects of total PSQI score and PSQI component scores were analyzed using a generalized additive model. A Korean Sasang constitutional diagnostic questionnaire was used to assess Sasang constitution. Data for 5,793 participants were analyzed. Poor sleep quality was related to greater fatigue, and lower physical and mental quality of life. The PSQI components including subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medications, and daytime dysfunction were associated with fatigue and physical and mental quality of life. Sleep quality was significantly lower in So-Eum compared to So-Yang and Tae-Eum. PSQI component scores for fatigue and quality of life differed significantly by Sasang constitution: for Tae-Eum, sleep latency and use of sleep medications; for So-Eum, daytime dysfunction; and for So-Yang, use of sleep medications and daytime dysfunction. The effects of different aspects of sleep quality differ by Sasang constitution. To improve sleep quality, interventions need to be tailored to constitutional type.

Objectives: Head symptoms, such as headache and dizziness, are commonly presented in clinical practice. Although Donguibogam, the representative book of Korean medicine, contains many prescriptions for head symptoms, they are difficult to learn and apply because of the vast numbers. The aim of this study was to simplify and visualize the vast contents of Donguibogam by network analysis. Methods: 127 prescriptions for head symptoms, found in Donguibogam, were entered into a Microsoft office Excel 2013 file. This was used as a database for network analysis using the NetMiner 4 program. Results: Through network analysis, six networks for prescriptions for head symptoms in Donguibogam were established. The first network is similar to the herb composition of Cheongsangsahwa-tang (prescriptions for hwa-yeol syndrome). The second network is similar to the herb composition of Yanghyulgupung-tang (prescriptions for hyul-heo syndrome). The third network is similar to the herb composition of Sangcheongbaekbuja-hwan (prescriptions for dam-eum syndrome). The fourth network is similar to the herb composition of Heukseok-dan (prescriptions for yang-heo syndrome). The fifth network is similar to the herb composition of Boheo-eum (prescriptions for chil-jeong syndrome). The sixth network is similar to the herb composition of Bangpungtongseong-san (prescriptions for hwa-yeol syndrome). Conclusions: The results of the network analysis of 127 prescriptions for head symptoms in Donguibogam suggest that there are five major causes of head symptoms (hwa-yeol, hyul-heo, dam-eum, yang-heo, and chil-jeong), and that it is possible to prescribe Cheongsangsahwa-tang, Bangpungtongseong-san, Yanghyulgupung-tang, Sangcheongbaekbuja-hwan, Heukseok-dan, or Boheo-eum depending on the major causes.

In Sasang constitutional medicine, a part of oriental medicine, there are beneficial foods of harmful foods according to the each constitutions. Until now, most of the studies have investigated the classification of foods according to the each constitutions, The clinical usage of the constitutional diets in now in the beginning. The purpose of this study is to investigate the therapeutic effects of the constitutional diets in comparison with general therapeutic diets in the patients with hyperlipidemia. From January to August, 1999, the 65 hyperlipidemic patients admitted to Kyung Hee Oriental Medical Center were studied. Therapeutic diet for hyperlipidemic patients or each constitutional diets were given to the subjects 3 meals a day for 6 weeks. The Sasang constitutional classification, food habits were assessed. The anthropometric assessment and blood analysis were carried out before and after taking each experimental diets. The results are as folow ; 1) The mean age of the objects was 62.4${\pm}$6.5 years, the distribution of their constitution were Tae-eumin :63.0%, So-yangin :26.2% So-eumin: 10.8%. 2) The mean body weight and BMI of Tae-eum were significantly higher than those of So-eum and So-yang. 3) Food habits of each constitutional groups were very similar to those described by sasang medicine. 4) The therapeutic and constitutional diets lowered the serum levels of total lipid(from 756.4mg/dl to 692.3mg/dl) triglyceride(from 244.4mg/dl to 212.mg/dl) and VLDL-cholesterol(from 48.9mg/dl to 42.5mg/dl). The therapeutic diet decreased the HDL-cholesterol level(from 49.0mg/dl to 41.7mg/dl) but the constitutional diet did not. 5) The effects of the therapeutic and constitutional diets were the highest in Tae-eum group. In the So-yang group, the constitutional diet lowered the levels of total lipid and LDL-cholesterol but the therapeutic diet did not. But the therapeutic and constitutional diets did not change the blood lipid levels significantly in the So-eum group.(Korean J Nutrition 33(8) : 824-832, 2000)

Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore the differences in allergic reactions by type of Sasang constitution using multiple allergen simultaneous test(MAST). Methods This study was conducted using the big data of Korean medical health checkups. Subjects with a history of allergic disease, Sasang constitution type information, and MAST results were included. Subjects who had taken drugs before MAST that affected allergic reactions were excluded. We compared total immunoglobulin E(IgE) concentrations, and the number of positive antigens by Sasang constitution using analysis of variance. The presence or absence of a positive reaction and specific IgE concentration classes of 92 antigens in MAST were analyzed by Fisher's exact test or Chi-squared test. Results The distribution of Sasang constitutional types of Tae-Yang, Tae-Eum, So-Yang, and So-Eum among 147 subjects was 2.7%, 42.9%, 38.1%, and 16.3%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the total IgE concentration, the number of positive antigens, and specific IgE concentration classes for each antigen. There was a statistically significant difference in MAST-positive reaction for alder and pine antigens by type of Sasang constitution, and Tae-Eum had the most. Conclusions Tae-Eum showed a relatively strong positive reaction to a large number of antigens compared to the other types, but no statistically significant difference was observed. It is necessary to continuously investigate allergic reactions to provide evidence for the treatment of allergic diseases by Sasang constitution.

The study was conducted to evaluate the difference of life style, subjective symptoms and health cognition depending on the Sasang Constitution in the industrial workers. The results were as follows ; Constitutional distribution among exposed group were Tae-eum In(38.4%), So-eum In(35.2%), and So-yang In(26.4%) and it was turned out that Tae-eum In took a higher portion of Sasang constitution than other constitutions in technician workers. 'Exercise' and 'Obesity' were found most in Tae-eum In, In So-eum In there were many 'Normal' weight and 'Having digestive disorders' were found most in So-eum In. There were no significant difference in the health cognition among the constitutions. The closer to 'normal' weight, the higher prevalence in 'having' concern about health condition and the more 'normal' condition in sleeping, the higher prevalence of 'having' self-confident in present health.

Objectives: This study was to assess characteristics in acute stroke patients according to Sasangconstitution (SC). Methods : We assessed the type of SC of acute stroke patients in $2^{nd}$ Department of Internal Medicine at KyungHee University Oriental Hospital from October 2005 to September 2006. Each subject's SC type was confirmed when the result of QSCC II+ was in accordance with the opinion of the Sasangconstitutional medicine specialist. We investigated general characteristics, stroke type, blood test results, alcohol drinking, smoking and dietary preferences according to SC. Results: 108 subjects were included in the final analysis. This study showed that out of the total patients, the proportion of So-yang to Tae-eum to So-eum was equal to 5.5 to 3.5 to 1. Especially, men were higher proportion So-yang while women recorded a more significant ratio of Tae-eum. Also, the BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, and WC/HC ratio recorded significantly high results. The result indicated that even though the Tae-eum let on the highest numerical value in the aspect of their past history and the final diagnosis, no significant difference was revealed according to SC. The ratio of cerebral infarction to cerebral hemorrhage was 9 to 1. SVO, LAA, SUE are the 3 types of cerebral infarction classified by TOAST; SVO ranked the highest while SUE ranked the lowest in all constitutions. The blood test result displayed that averages of both TL and the T-chol were the highest in Tae-eum while that of hematocrit in So-yangand that of HDL-chol in So-eum. However, there was no significant difference. There were no significant differences classified by gender or by SC in the aspect of the alcohol drinking and smoking history. The majority of So-yang and Tae-eum demonstrated a preference for meat while So-eum and So-yang displayed high preferences for sea food. Conclusions : With respect to these results. we could observe the general disposition of various characteristic distributions according to SC of acute stroke patients. For further research in this field. it seems necessary to construct fundamental databases for the prevention and treatment of stroke by increasing the number of patients observed and by analyzing delicate characteristics of each constitution type.

사상의학(四象醫學)은 과거의학(過去醫學)에 비해 간명한 변증체계로 모든 병증을 포괄하고 있다. 그것은 음양변증(陰陽辨證)과 태소변증(太少辨證)으로 이루어지는 사상변증(四象辨證)이 음양변화를 정확히 사분(四分)하여 줌으로써, 과거의학의 팔망변증(八網辨證)이나 장부변증(臟腑辨證)이 지닌 변증의 혼잡성을 극복해주기 때문이다. 이러한 사상변증의 장점은 과거의학에서 제대로 파악하지 못했던 태음인 태양인의 호산(呼散)-흡취강약(吸聚强弱)의 병증 파악에서 보다 선명하게 드러난다. 이에 본 논고에서는 첫째, 동의수세보원(東醫壽世保元)의 전편에 걸쳐 서술된 승강취산론(升降聚散論)을 살펴보고, 둘째 태음인(太陰人) 간수열(肝受熱) 이열병론(裏熱病論)의 양독증(陽毒症)과 조열병(燥熱病)에 인용된 과거 병론에서 병증의 음양 인식이 어떻게 변화해 왔는가를 조사하며, 셋째, 태음인(太陰人) 이열병(裏熱病)의 처방들이 어떻게 발전해왔는가를 조사함으로써, 태양인(太陽人) 이열병론(裏熱病論)에 나타난 동무의 음양관을 파악해 보았으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 동의수세보원(東醫壽世保元)에서 비신(脾腎)은 승양(升陽)-강음(降陰), 간폐(肝肺)는 호산(呼散)-흡취(吸聚)의 짝운동을 하는 것으로 본다. 따라서 소음인, 소양인의 병증은 음양승강(陰陽升降)의 병리로 분석되며, 태음인, 태양인의 병증은 음양취산(陰陽聚散)의 병리(病理)로 분석된다. 이러한 승강취산론(升降聚散論)은 과거의학의 승강부침론(升降浮沈論)과 개념은 같으나, 논리가 일관되지 못했던 과거의학과 달리 병리해석과 치법에 이르기까지 일관되게 체계화되어 있다. 예를 들어 태음인(太陰人) 이열병(裏熟病)은 욕화(欲火)로 인해 폐의 호산지기(呼散之氣)를 고갈시켜서 태음인의 장부특성인 '흡취지기(吸聚之氣) 태과(太過)-호산지기(呼散之氣) 부족(不足)'을 심화시킴으로써 오므로, 그 욕심을 놓고 폐(肺)의 호산지기(呼散之氣)를 회복시키는 약재를 쓰면 낫는다고 치법을 제시하였다. 내경(內經), 상한론(傷寒論) 시대에는 태음인(太陰人) 이열병(裏熱病)을 열증(熱證)으로만 인식하였다. 송원명(宋元明)의 의가(醫家)들은 태음인(太陰人) 이열병(裏熱病)의 병리(病理) 기전(機轉)을 '양기독성(陽氣獨盛) 음기폭절(陰氣暴絶)'로 해석하였으며, 치법(治法)을 '용산고지약(用酸苦之藥) 영음기복(令陰氣復) 이대한해(而大汗解)'로 제시하였다. 여기서의 음양의 뜻은 표리나 한열이아니라 기(氣)를 쓰는 것을 양, 기(氣)를 저축하는 것을 음으로 보는 포괄적인 음양의 개념이다. 따라서 흡취지기(吸聚之氣) 과다(過多)로 인한 태음인(太陰人) 간열증(肝熱證)과 하강지기(下降之氣)가 막혀서 오는 소양인(少陽人) 위열증(胃熱證)이 정확히 분별되지 못했다. 태음인(太陰人) 조열병(燥熱病)은 내경(內經)에서부터 인식되었으며, 열결(熱結)로 인해 조증(燥證)이 발생한다는 병리로 파악하였으나, 역시 소양인(少陽人) 위열병(胃熱證)의 소갈병(消渴病)과 정확히 구별하지 못하였다. 소양인(少陽人) 위열증(胃熱證)은 음기하강(陰氣下降)이 막혀 중상초(中上焦)에 병증이 나타나고, 태음인(太陰人) 간열증(肝熱證)은 호산지기(呼散之氣)가 고갈되어 중하초(中下焦)에 병증이 나타난다. 동무는 이러한 병증 분석을 통해 양독증(陽毒症)과 조열병(燥熱病)을 태음인 병증으로 인식했다고 판단된다. 의학사(醫學史) 초기에는 태음인 리열병증에 소양인(少陽人) 위열증(胃熱證) 약재와 태음인(太陰人) 간열증(肝熱證) 약재가 혼합된 청열방(淸熱方)들을 많이 썼다. 태음인(太陰人) 이열병방(裏熱病方)은 상한론에서 소음인 처방이나 소양인 처방에 갈근(葛根), 마황(麻黃), 승마(升麻) 등 태음인의 약재가 가미된 모습으로 출발하여, 주굉(朱肱)의 조중탕(調中湯)과 A 신(信)의 갈근해기탕(葛根解肌湯)으로 골격을 갖추었으며, 이를 모방(母方)으로 하여 태음인(太陰人) 갈근해기탕(葛根解肌湯)이 성립되었다. 그 외에 오행론(五行論)과 동의수세보원(束醫壽世保元)에서의 승강부침(升降浮沈)의 장부배속이 한 계절씩의 위상차이를 보이는 것은, 장부의 기능이 작용하여 현상으로 나타나는데 1/4주기의 시간차가 나는데 따른 것이라는 가설을 세워보았다.
