Objectives: In comparison with functional dyspepsia, food accumulation is known to have wider concept. On this study, we will make a proposal on the concept of food accumulation by a statistical comparison between pyungweesan questionnaire and health related questionnaires. Methods: We studied the similarities between six factors of pyungweesan questionnaire and four health related questionnaires(Rome II criteria of functional dyspepsia, subjective symptoms of fatigue test, beck depression inventory, state-trait anxiety inventory, etc.) using multidimensional scaling. Results and Conclusions: 1. Physical-emotional axis and acute-chronic axis were labelled in a two-dimensional scaling solution. 2. Seup-dam(濕痰) factor and sik-che(食滯) factor of food accumulation were closely related to fatigue. 3. Bi-seup(脾濕) factor of food accumulation was closely related to depression and anxiety. 4. The findings suggest that a concept of food accumulation reflects some aspects of physical fatigue and emotional depression as well as dyspepsia.

Most of the atrial flutter occurs in patients who have an organic disease of the heart. The symptoms of atrial flutter include anxiety with palpitation. sleep disorder and fatigue. For a long time, oriental medicine has clinically treated these symptoms, and the diagnosis has been usually based on the doctor's judgment on the subjective clinical symptoms. However, if oriental medicine includes new diagnostic aids like electrocardiogram or other various methods or combinations of techniques, the accuracy and objectivity of diagnosis and clinical data can be improved. In this case, a 65 year-old male patient who had anxiety with palpitation and abnormal P wave (atrial flutter) on the EKG was treated with Xiaofengbusindaotantang (疎風補心導痰湯) and Shengmaisan (生脈散). Significant improvement in the clinical symptoms and EKG results was observed. This result suggests that oriental medical treatment can be used for treatment of organic heart disease like an atrial flutter. In addition, subsequent studies should be followed to ensure the appropriateness of new diagnostic aids, such as EKG, and other various modalities.

1. Objectives: This clinical study was conducted to understand the differences between Sasang constitutional types and to identify the physical symptoms presentation specific to each Sasang constitutional type. 2. Methods: In this descriptive study, 2,629 subjects (1,061 Taeeum-type, 683 Soeum-type, 885 Soyang-type) were surveyed between Nov 1, 2007 and Jul 31, 2010. The subjective symptoms experienced by the subjects were collected using a Physical Symptoms questionnaire, and the subjects were interviewed by Sasang specialists who determined the subjects' constitutional type. The data (in crude number and percentage) was analyzed on the general characteristics, Sasang constitutional type, and physical symptoms using the SPSS 17.0 software. The symptomatic presentation in men and women were analyzed on Sasang constitutional distribution using the chi-square test. 3. Results: 1) The physical symptoms specific to each Sasang constitutional type were as follows: 'frequent aphthous lesions in the oral cavity', 'lingering fatigue after sleep', 'headache', 'common cold symptoms presenting as loss of appetite or indigestion', and 'physical deterioration presenting as problems with digestion' in the Soeum type; 'physical deterioration presenting as problems in perspiration' and 'swelling and puffiness' in the Taeeum type; and 'excessive forgetfulness' in the Soyang type. 2) The physical symptoms specific to each Sasang constitutional type in men were as follows: 'Unilateral or bilateral headaches, 'frequent aphthous lesions in the oral cavity', 'common cold symptoms presenting as rhinorrhea or nasal congestion', 'common cold symptoms presenting as loss of appetite or indigestion', and 'physical deterioration presenting as problems with digestion' in the Soeum type; and 'swelling and puffiness' in the Taeeum type. 3) The physical symptoms specific to each Sasang constitutional type in women were as follows: 'common cold symptoms presenting as headaches', 'common cold symptoms presenting as loss of appetite or indigestion', 'physical deterioration presenting as problems with digestion' in the Soeum type; and 'pain in knees', 'redness of eyes', 'dryness of mouth', 'common cold symptoms presenting as coughing', 'physical deterioration presenting as problems in perspiration', 'swelling and puffiness' in the Taeeum type. 4. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that physical symptoms present in constitutional type-specific patterns.

본 연구는 경찰공무원의 직무스트레스와 피로 감소에 선호음악 감상이 미치는 영향을 검증하였다. 사전-사후 검사 통제집단 설계로 실험집단 19명은 선호음악 체크리스트에 근거한 약 20분의 개별 음원을 감상하였고, 통제집단 21명은 단순 휴식을 취하였다. 측정도구는 Lee(1999)가 개발한 직무스트레스 척도와 일본산업위생협회 산업피로연구회(Japan Association of Industrial Health Industrial Fatigue Research Committee, 1970)에서 개발한 피로 자각 증상 척도를 사용하였다. 선호음악 감상 중재는 2016년 10월 11일-19일까지 총 6회기에 걸쳐 진행되었다. 수집된 데이터는 SPSS for Windows 22.0로 통계 분석 처리하였는데 두 집단의 동질성 검증과 집단 간 사전-사후 검사는 독립표본 t 검증을 실시하였고, 실험집단 내 사전-사후 검사는 대응표본 t 검증을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 실험집단과 통제집단 간 직무스트레스 전체점수와 실험집단 내 직무스트레스 사전-사후 점수 모두에 유의한 차이가 있었다(p < .05). 또한 실험집단과 통제집단 간 피로도와 실험집단 내 피로도 감소에도 모두 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p < .05). 본 연구에서는 편의적 표집방법을 사용하였으므로 결과를 일반화할 수 없다는 연구의 제한점을 가지고 있다. 반면, 경찰공무원의 직무스트레스와 피로 감소에 있어 집단 간, 집단 내에서 선호음악 감상이 유의한 효과가 있음을 입증한 것에 의의가 있다. 후속연구에서는 수용적 음악감상과 더불어 적극적 음악치료 활동을 제공하여 경찰공무원의 직무스트레스와 피로 감소에 효과성을 높일 수 있는 중재를 제언한다.
