Objectives : While Comparative Pulse Diagnosis of Renying pulse(人迎脈) and Cunkou pulse(寸口脈) is one of the three major pulse diagnostic methods in "Huangdineijing" along with Three Positions and Nine Indicators Pulse Diagnosis(三部九候脈診法) and Cunkou Pulse Diagnosis(寸口脈診法), it has died out in later periods. This study aims to examine this lost method. Methods : Annotations of "Huangdineijing" were examined along with descriptions of the author's own experience. Results & Conclusions : Renying is the Renying(人迎) point from the Stomach Channel(ST), while Cunkou is the Taiyuan(太淵) point from the Lung Channel(LU). These two points are compared in order to determine the deficiency and excess of the Zangfu(臟腑). Normal pulses(平脈) are Soft(軟脈) or Moderate(緩脈), while Stirred pulses(躁脈) are Stringy(弦脈), Tight(緊脈), Slippery(滑脈) or Long(長脈). If the Renying is once active where Shaoyang pulse is active, purge the Gallbladder and supplement the Liver. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Triple Burner and supplement the Pericardium. If the Renying is twice active where Taiyang pulse is active, purge the Bladder and supplement the Kidney. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Small Intestine and supplement the Heart. If the Renying is three times active, where Yangming pulse is active, purge the Stomach and supplement the Spleen. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Large Intestine and supplement the Lung. If the Cunkou is once active where the Jueyin pulse is active, purge the Liver and supplement the Gallbladder. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Pericardium and supplement the Triple Energizer. If the Cunkou is twice active where the Shaoyin pulse is active, purge the Kidney and supplement the Bladder. If there is stirred pulse, purge the Heart and supplement the Small Intestine. If the Cunkou is three times active where the Taiyin pulse is active, purge the Stomach and supplement the Spleen. If there is Stirred pulse, purge the Lung and supplement the Large Intestine.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to research the Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis. Methods : We set up locations of the Renying pulse(人迎脈) and the Qikou pulse(氣口脈) on left hand and right hand. On the basis of the medical texts and papers, we researched the relations between the Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis and the etiological factors(病因), background of appearance of the Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis, and practical use of medical practitioners of many generations to the Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis. Results & Conclusions : The Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis is a method to diagnosis the etiological factors, while it could also be assumed as a tool to apply herbal medicine. This assumption could be made based on the seventh volume of 『Maijing(脈經)』 of Wang Shuhe(王叔和). Chen Wuze(陳無擇) emphasized its function to distinguish etiological factors in 『Sanyinjiyibingzhengfanglun(三因極一病證方論)』, as did Li Dongyuan(李東垣) in 『Neiwaishangbianhuolun(內外傷辨惑論)』. Meanwhile, the connection between Left-Renying and Right-Qikou pulse diagnosis and Zangfu(臟腑) seems to have first been made in 『Maiyu(脈語)』 of Wu Kun(吳昆), while 『Zhenjiazhengyan(診家正眼)』 of Li Zhongzi(李中梓) shows traces of progress since the 『Maiyu』.

This study aimed to examine the possibility of data from pulse diagnosis device to be used for diagnosis of Sasang constitution. Systematic searches of 5 major Korean medical database were conducted for articles published up to May 2012. Searching key word was "Sasang" or "Constitution". Studies dealt with correlation between Sasang constitution and the pulse wave data from pulse diagnosis machine were included. Totally 2886 studies are searched and 3 studies are added from references of evaluated articles. Among them, 12 studies were met our inclusion criteria (2 Xishu Mac, 2 Self-made pulse diagnosis machine, 8 3D-Mac). Three of the eight 3D-Mac studies intended to develop a formula of constitutional differential diagnosis, 2 studies compared variables by Sasang constitution in healthy group and 3 studies compared variables by Sasang constitution in healthy group and special disease group. They all reported some significant variables, however results are not consistent between studies. The accuracy of the formula of constitutional differential diagnosis using 3D-Mac pulse diagnosis devices is 46.0% by now. Improvements in measuring pulse are required to achieve more accurate result and be used for diagnosis of Sasang constitution. Compensating B.M.I. among Sasang constitutional groups and separating constitutional pulse factors from acquired characteristics are also needed in further study.

Method of diagnosis in oriental medicine, the unbalance of the physiological function of the five viscers and six bowels of the human body is determined from time immemorial with the condition of blood circulation which is performed through blood vessels by the vitality of the heart. In oriental medicine, treatment is largely attempted by adjusting this unbalance. The analysis of pulse wave, which mainly measures the changes in blood flows, is to evaluate the shapes of a pulse wave rather than the quantitative changes like rates and strength of the pulse. This paper presents the development of Hardware System and Pulse Diagnosis Algorithm for automatic diagnosis of the pulse wave. This system makes the precise diagnosis and the objective recording possible.

The pulse diagnosis is an important and universally used method in Oriental Medicine. Since the traditional method of palpating the pulse relies on the subjective sense in the fingers of an Oriental Medical Doctor(OMD), there has been continued need for more objective method for pulse diagnosis. Recently, various pulse analyzers have been developed to meet such objective palpation and interpretation. However, most of these attempts were not successful to replace OMD's own palpation by fingers. To improve the performance of the pulse analyzers, one should develop machine-appropriate interpretations for the pulse images in the literature, in addition to the improvement in the repeatability and reproducibility. One of such widely-used pulse images to be interpreted is the floating and sinking pulse. The floating and sinking pulses are the two representative pulse images informing us how strong pressure one should apply to obtain the maximal pulse strength. A previous study suggested a convenient and unified measure for the floating and sinking pulses by defining the coefficient of the floating-sinking pulse(CFS). We found the original definition of the CFS could be erroneous under some situations. To improve the performance, we introduce new CFS algorithm for determining the floating and sinking pulse with a pulse analyzers(3-D MAC). To test the performance of the newly suggested algorithm, we conducted a clinical study comparing the agreement ratio with the floating and sinking pulse diagnosis by the OMDs. We found that, among the subjects who are diagnosed with having either the floating pulse or sinking pulse, the new CFS algorithm showed 55.3% diagnosis rate and 73.0% concordance rate, which are about 3% and 6% improvement in the diagnosis rate and agreement rate, respectively, compared to the original CFS algorithm.
