1. Objective Pulse diagnosis is generally applied to Traditional Oriental Medicine but not to Sasang Constitution diagnosis. Recently new pulse analyzer using array piezoresistive sensor and multi-channel robot arm developed. It reflects Oriental Medical Doctors' diagnostic processes, and its reproducibility test was done at Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine. We performed this study to set parameters diagnosing Sasang Constitution. 2. Methods One hundred thirty three subjects participated in this study. They are healty and approved this study. Before being tested with pulse analyzer, they had interview with Sasang Constitution Specialist to diagnose their Sasang Constitution. We established some useful parameters from parameters of pulse analyzer according to the Original Texts of Oriental Medicine and clinical experiences to analyze with clinical data of this study. 3. Results (I) There is a significant difference in pre-dicrotic notch time among all parameters of pulse analyzer in Sasang Constitution groups(P=0.047). (2) There is a significant difference in maximum pulse pressure in 33 to 48 year Sasang Constitution groups(P=0.010). (3) There is a significant difference in frequency width in 17 to 32 year Sasang Constitution groups(P=0.002). (4) There is a significant difference in CFS value in groups which OMD diagnoses; Floating & Sinking pulse(P=0.020). (5) There is a significant difference in pulse rate in groups which OMD diagnoses; Rapid & Slow pulse(P=0.000). (6) There is a significant difference in maximum pulse pressure in groups which OMD diagnoses; Deficient & Solid pulse(P=0.000). 4. Conclusions Analyzing parameters in each Sasang Constitution group, we found it shows significant difference in maximum pulse pressure and corresponding tendency in coefficient of floating & sinking pulse with theories of Sasang Consti-tutional Medicine. As we accumulate more clinical data, we will establish algorithm to diagnose Sasang Constitution using a pulse analyzer.

Objectives: We intended to know sensitivity, specificity and relation of diagnosis methods of Sasang Constitution. Methods: We compared QSCC II, PSSC, Body measurement dignosis results with gold standard ones which were diagnosed by Sasang Constitution specialist, and analyzed by crosstables to get the sensitivity and specificity of those. Results and conclusions 1. Sensitivity and specificity of one diagnosis method were low, so call, in QSCC II, Taeumin is 49% in sensitivity, 97% in specificity, Soeumin is 67%, 69%, Soyangin is 59%, 75%, in Body measurement, Taeumin is 66%, 89%, Soeumin is 70%, 82%, Soyangin is 49%, 78%. in PSSC, Taeumin is 57%, 90%, Soeumin is 88%, 62%, Soyangin is 18%, 88%. 2. When two diagnosis methods are consistent each other, sensitivity and specificity are more higher than one diagnosis method. 3. When three diagnosis methods are all consistent, sensitivity and specificity are most highest, but in Soyangin, those are decreased comparing with the case of consistency between QSCC II and Body measurement.

Objectives The aim of study was to suggest diagnostic indicator according to Exterior-Interior disease for the Sasang Constitution based on original symptom. Methods We investigated the literature(『Dongeuisusebowon sinchukbon』) and another study(Clinical Practice Guideline for Disease of Sasang Constitutional Medicine: Diagnosis and Algorithm). As a result, we developed diagnostic indicator of original symptom for Exterior-Interior disease in Sasang Constitutional Medicine. Results and Conclusions Diagnosis of Exterior-Interior disease in Sasang Constitution was decided by heat and cold of original symptom. Detailed indicators of diagnosis in Exterior-Interior disease were heat/cold sensitivity, the degree of sweating, the amount of drinking water, thirst, face color and somatalgia.

1. Objectives: We would know what kind of symptom are different according to Cold and Heat characteristics and health state. We also tried to suggest the development of Sasang Constitution diagnosis model considering of them. 2. Methods: We recruited 1,523 subjects between 10 and 80, excluding individuals who have physically or psychologically serious disease or women in pregnancy in the 21 Oriental Medical Clinics. We seperated group according to Cold and Heat characteristics and health state in CRF(Case Report Form, C-2009-002439) questionnaire and we also developed Sasang constitution diagnosis program to compare agreement according to sex and age group with Cold/Heat and health state one. 3. Results: The number of discordance items are much more than that of accordance items in group seperated according to Cold and Heat, and Health state Sasang constitution agreement rate of Cold/Heat and health state group is higher than that of total group through program. When we diagnosed Sasang constitution with different group characteristics to know the group differences, the disparity rate of the group according to Heat/Cold and Health state is lower than that of the group according to sex and age. 4. Conclusions: As Sasang constitution characteristics are different according to Cold/Heat group and Health state classification, we can upgrade Sasang constitution agreement rate with questionnaire considered of Heat/Cold and health state.

사상의학이 안고 있는 문제점은 체질의 진단 자체가 진단하는 의사마다 차이가 있다는 체질 진단 결과의 주관성이다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 체질을 객관적으로 진단하기 위한 노력이 다각도로 모색되어지고 있다. 본 연구는 체질을 감별함에 있어 가장 기초적인 과정으로 인식되고 있는 설문지 이용의 효율성과 정확성을 높이고자 하였다. 즉, 임상적 진단을 거쳐 체질이 결정된 조사대상자들이 설문지에서 어떠한 응답 성향을 보이는지를 비교 분석하여 설문지를 통한 체질 분석의 결과를 다시금 검토하고, 각 문항에서 체질별 응답 성향을 분석하여 한 체질의 분류 척도로 채택된 문항의 통계적 유의성을 검증하여 보았다. 그 결과 현재의 설문지로써 체질을 판별하는 것은 한계를 확인하였고, 추후 간략하면서도 정확한 새로운 설문지의 개발이 필요하리라 생각된다.

1. Objectives The Sasang Constitution has been studied in many parts and one of the most common inquiries is the self-reporting questionnaire. But the established investigation has the problem that the respondents are not fully aware of the questionnaires and answer them. To settle this problem, it's been made new questionnaires through two steps. 2. Methods At first step, the testers ate classified into Yangin(陽人) and Eumin(陰人). And then, Taeyangin is distinguished from Soyangin likewise Taeumin is told from Soeumin. It's called 'The Two Step Questionnaire for the Sasang Constitution Diagnosis(TS-QSCD)'. This new method is tested by 160 testers and Woosuk university students whose constitution ate confirmed to make clear clinical uses 3. Results and Conclusions Questionnaire Sasang Constitution corresponds with The Real Sasang Constitution at the rate of 71.87%. Only 5.63% has shown an error at the first step. Every experimenters by constitutions, the 56 objects of 74 Taeumin are confirmed the same as it is. It has 84.85% accuracy. The 27 objects of 32 Soeumin come to the same thing and it has 69.23% accuracy. Similarly, the 32 objects of 42 Soyangin come to the same conclusion and 72.73% accuracy high As the result, in comparison to the Real Constitution with the Constitution by questionnaires, the accord comes out Kappa Indices 0.6427866. This result is comparatively high. Chi-square Test can be shown statistical meaning as well.
