Objectives: The purpose of this study was to propose a diagnostic method for classifying patients with dyspepsia by symptom type. The correlation between symptom types and X-ray findings was studied in 62 patients with indigestion. Methods: In this study, the complaints and abdominal X-ray findings were collected for 62 patients who visited the outpatient Korean medicine clinic. The medical information related to dyspepsia was grouped for similar patients and classified by symptom type. Results: The patients with dyspepsia were classified into three types according to their medical symptoms: Distention type (N=43, 68.3%), Abdominal Pain type (N=16, 25.5%), and Constipation type (N=12, 19.0%). Intestinal fecal findings (80.6%) on x-rays were noted in most of the cases, followed by intestinal gas pattern findings (14.5%). Conclusion: Classifying patients with dyspepsia by symptom types is an appropriate diagnostic method due to the unclear pathophysiology of indigestion and the difficulty in applying a Korean medical dialectic. Irrespective of the symptom types, the large number of fecal material findings (80.6%) on x-rays means an effect on the interior environment of the body where intestinal feces accumulate easily and decreased gastrointestinal motility in patients with indigestion. This can be correlated with "food accumulation (食積)" as intestinal feces are tangible substances. In addition, gas in the intestine increases visceral sensitivity, causing abdominal distention or pain. The gas pattern findings (14.5%) on x-ray were observed in the "Distention type" and "Abdominal pain type," but not in the "Constipation type."

Objectives This paper was designed for studying the features of digestion according to Sasang Constitution and to be helpful to make a diagnosis Sasang Constitution. Using the result of this study, it will be helpful to diagnose a Sasang constitution. Methods There were 588 patients(248 men, 340 women) who answered questionnaire and were diagnosed by the Sasang Constitution Specialist at Constitutional Clinic of Dongguk Bundang Oriental Hospital. Using the response of questionnaire and several statistical techniques such as homogeneity test and multiple comparison, we tried to find the characteristics of each constitution depending on its dining behavior. Results As a result of the analysis of questionnaire, Taeumin and Soyangin answered to 'Because digestion is well, I overeat frequently' many more than Soeumin(p<0.01). Soeumin answered to 'When I eat cold food or greasy food, it hardly digests' many more than Taeumin(p<0.05). Soeumin and Taeyangin answered to 'Because I have indigestion, I have suffered from infancy' many more than Taeumin(p<0.01). Soeumin answered to 'I have easily a digestive upset' many more than Taeumin(p<0.01). Soeumin answered to 'indigestion in case of paying attention' many more than Taeumin and Soyangin(p<0.01).

To analyze scientifically the polyprescription principle of Daekumeumja(對金飮子), which has been used for alcoholic damage, and Pyungwesan(平胃散), which has been used for indigestion, the transforming rate of hesperidin of these polyprescriptions to hesperetin was investigated. The transforming rate of the former was higher 3 times than that of the latter. The transforming rate of hesperidin of Aurantii nobilis Pericarpium was inhibited by Magnoliae Cortex, but was activated by Glycyrrhizae Radix. The activity of trypsin was inhibited by Glycyrrhizae Radix and Daekumeuja. However, Aurantii nobilis Pericarpium, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Magnoliae Cortex and Pyungwesan did not inhibited it. When human intestinal microflora were cultured with the media containing Daekumeumja, Pyungwesan and herbal medicines consisting of them, Aurantii nobilis Pericarpium and Magnoliae Cortex inhibited the activity of ${\beta}$-glucosidase. These results suggests that the therapeutic effect of Daekumeumja may be better than that of Pyungwesan on alcoholic damage and the therapeutic effect of Pyungwesan may be better than that of Daekumeumja on indigestion, although these prescriptions are consisted of the same herbal medicines.

Cough is not only serves to maintain normal function of respiratory tract, but also many diseases may lead to this symptom. In Korean medicine, Zhudanxi(朱丹溪), was the first to classify cough according to the different stages of time. In this research, I investigated the stage of Nocturnal Cough(夜嗽) through 26 oriental medical books. As a result, deficiency of Yin(陰虛) was the most common causes of Nocturnal Cough and indigestion(食積) is the next. Liuweidihuang-tang(六味地黃湯) prescribed as the treatment for Yin Xu(陰虛) and Xeibaisan-jiawei(瀉白散加味) prescribed as the treatment for indigestion(食積).

Objectives Recent studies have reported that the digestion-related items contribute significantly to the diagnosis of constitution, though these were not described as the indicator for diagnosing Sasang constitution in 『Donguisusebowon(東醫壽世保元)』 「Sasanginbyeonjeunglon(四象人辨證論)」. The purpose of this study was to explore the reasons why such a gap appeared. Methods The digestion-related items and their rationales to be shown in eleven studies on the Questionnaire for Sasang Constitution Diagnosis were reviewed. Thirty primary studies included in two systematic reviews were also reviewed to reconsider the significance of digestion-related items as an indicator for diagnosing Soeumin. Results & Conclusions A few pathways were found in studies on the Questionnaire for Sasang Constitution Diagnosis, which could overestimate the significance of digestion-related items more than actual. Besides, in the primary studies included in two systematic reviews, there was also a possibility of overestimating the importance of digestion-related items due to some biases in the selection of subjects and the conducting of the study. Therefore, there might be room for reconsideration that indigestion was necessarily an indicator for diagnosing Soeumin.
