Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the ordinary symptoms, special symptoms and Body Mass Index (BMI) according to Sasang constitution in female college students. Also, we aimed to analyze the factors affecting BMI. Methods Forty-four female college students participated in this study. Sasang Constitution was determined by Questionnaire for Sasang Constitution Classification (QSCC) II. BMI was measured and ordinary symptoms were acqired through the questionnaire. Special symptoms was determined by Fatigue Severity Index (FSS), Premenstrual Symptom Screening Tool (PSST), ROME III, Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), respectively. For statistical analysis, t-test, analysis of variance and correlation test has been used. Results There existed significant differences in ordinary symptoms and special symptoms between sasang constitutions. Taeumin had higher urine frequency than soyangin, soeumin had higher gap of feces than taeumin. Taeumin had higher BMI and ROME III score than soyangin and soeumin. They showed significant differences in ordinary symptoms and special symptoms according to BMI. Overweight and obese group is higher in water intake than low and normal group. Low weight and normal group is higher in gap of feces than overweight and obese group. High score group in PSST and ROME III showed high BMI than low score group. We analyzed the factors that affect BMI. BMI are highly correlated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, FSS, PSST, ROME III and OSDI showed high correlation with each other. Conclusion Urine frequency and gap of feces are different among sasang constitutional types. The obese group and normal group showed significant differences in water intake, gap of feces, PSST and ROME III score. It is found that factors that affecting BMI are systolic and diastolic blood pressure. These results may lead to identifying the causes and factors of obesity in female college students related to Sasang constitution.

목적: 본 연구에서는 신축사무실 건물 및 재실자를 대상으로 식물적용에 따른 안구건조 증상 및 실내공기질 등에 대한 변화를 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 세종시 정부청사 신축건물 및 사무실 재실자를 대상으로 하였다. 식물적용에 따라 실내공기질을 측정하였으며, 휘발성유기화합물류와 알데하이드류 및 온 습도를 측정하여 평가하였다. 안구건조 증상은 Ocular surface disease index(OSDI)를 이용하여 정상, 경도, 중등도, 및 중증으로 분류하여 측정하였다. 결과: 식물적용사무실에서 휘발성유기화합물류의 감소율이 다소 높게 나타나 식물적용으로 인한 저감효과가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 식물적용 재실자에서 새건물증후군 증상 점수가 점차적으로 감소하였고, 식물미적용사무실 재실자에서는 새건물증후군 증상 점수가 상승하였다. 재실자의 안구건조설문결과에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: 식물적용 사무실 내 유해물질의 감소효과가 있었고, 재실자를 통한 설문조사결과 안구건조 및 새건물증후군 증상에 긍정적인 효과는 있었다. 개인의 민감도 등에 의한 차이 및 현장조사로 인한 연구의 제한점 등을 보완한 장기 연구가 필요하다.

Objectives : The purpose of this review is to validate the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment on dry eye syndrome. Methods : Through foreign online databases(Pubmed, Cochrane Library) and domestic online databases(Science On, OASIS) we only searched for Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) that performed acupuncture for dry eye syndrome from January 2010 to December 2022. Results : The most commonly used acupoints were 風池(GB20), 贊竹(BL2) and the most commonly used meridian was the gall bladder meridian of foot-shaoyang. The most commonly used evaluation criteria was Tear Break Up Time(TBUT) followed by Schirmer Test and Ocular Surface Disease Index(OSDI). In most of 8 studies, acupuncture treatment showed significant therapeutic effects. Conclusions : According to this study results, acupuncture can be suggested to effective way for treating dry eye syndrome. More clinical studies are needed to prove the effectiveness of the acupuncture on dry eye syndrome.

목적: 신축건물 재실자들의 안구건조증을 조사하고, 안구건조증이 작업생산성 및 일상적인 활동에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 방법: 신축한지 3개월이 지난 건물에서 일 평균 8시간 이상을 근무하는 사무직 근로자 33명을 대상으로 하였다. 실내공기질은 알데하이드류와 온습도를 측정하여 평가하였다. 안구건조증은 Ocular Surface Disease Index(OSDI)를 이용하여 정상, 경도, 중등도 및 중증으로 분류하였고, 라식수술, 눈 화장, 일일 컴퓨터와 스마트폰 사용시간, 그리고 일일 평균 근무시간을 조사하였다. 작업생산성과 일상활동 관련 설문은 Work Limitation Productivity 설문을 사용하여 손실정도를 10점 척도로 체크하였다. 결과: 사무실의 폼알데하이드 농도는 $42.42{\pm}6.30{\mu}g/m^3$ 이었고, 온습도는 각각 $26.2{\pm}0.7^{\circ}C$와 $40{\pm}1%$ 였다. 안구건조증은 정상, 경도, 중등도 및 중증이 각각 15.2%, 18.2%, 18.2%, 48.5%였다. 안구건조증의 심한 정도와 작업생산성 및 일상적인 활동의 손실 정도는 각각 0.599와 0.655의 높은 상관성을 보였다(p<0.001). 안구건조증이 중증인 경우는 정상에 비해 유의하게 높은 작업생산성 손실과 일상활동 저해를 나타냈다(p<0.001). 안구건조증이 심한 경우는 정상에 비해 작업생산성 손실과 일상활동 저해가 3점 이상일 확률이 각각 3.26배(p=0.032)와 2.25배(p=0.045) 높았다. 결론: 신축건물 사무직 근로자들의 안구건조증은 작업생산성과 일상적인 활동에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objectives : Recently, the number of patients with dry eye syndrome has been steadily increasing. However, established treatment for it does not yet exist. This study compared electronic moxibustion with acupuncture for patients with dry eye in terms of efficacy and safety. Methods : This trial was designed as an investigator-initiated, single-blinded, comparative, randomized controlled trial. Thirty patients with dry eye were randomized to the electronic moxibustion treatment group(EMG) or the acupuncture treatment group(AG) in equal proportion. The participants who assigned to the EMG were treated with electronic moxibustion to ten acupoints including both sides of BL2, GB14, TE23, and LI4 for 12 minutes. The participants who were assigned to the AG were treated with acupuncture to the same acupoints for 15 minutes. Over 4 weeks, each intervention was carried out twelve times in total. The primary outcome was the ocular surface disease index(OSDI). The secondary outcomes were the subjective symptoms visual analog scale(VAS), quality of life(QoL), Schirmer I test(SIT), and general assessment. Adverse events and vital signs were also investigated for safety assessment. Results : In intragroup comparisons, both the EMG and the AG significantly improved the OSDI scores, the subjective symptoms VAS scores, the QoL scores, and the SIT results after 4 weeks of the trial. However, there were no statistical differences in intergroup comparisons between the two groups after 4 weeks. The safety of electronic moxibustion and acupuncture was confirmed by no occurrence of serious adverse events. Conclusions : Both electronic moxibustion and acupuncture were effective for dry eye syndrome, and they were safe. Electronic moxibustion and acupuncture can be used for dry eye syndrome as equivalent treatments.
