Objectives : The purpose of this study is to establish a Korean medical perspective on the human body through understanding of the meridians according to the distribution of the three yin and three yang (삼음삼양) and the opening, closing and pivot (관합추) as defined in ≪Huangdi's Internal Classic≫. Methods : A total of 8 medical databases including KISS, Earticle, DBpia, RISS, OASIS, KMbase, and ScienceON were used to search studies published through July 2021, and literature was included without limitations on the publication period. The search terms were "(meridian OR acupoint OR meridian sinew) AND position" OR "Gwan-Hap-Chu" OR "Gae-Hap-Chu" OR "three yin and three yang". Two researchers independently made choices among the searched literature based on the preplanned selection/exclusion criteria. The search terms were"(meridian OR acupoint OR meridian sinew) AND position" OR "Gwan-Hap-Chu" OR "Gae-Hap-Chu" OR "three yin and three yang". Results : Of the 36 obtained from the survey, 19 (53%) followed the definitions of "internal diameter" for "three yin and three yang" and "the opening, closing and pivot," but 6 (about 16%) took a neutral position and 10 (22%) avoided mentioning. Therefore, it was judged that research was needed to end the debate on the distribution of 'three yin and three yang' and 'the opening, closing and pivot'. In order to apply the definition of ≪Huangdi's Internal Classic≫ on 'distribution of the three-yin and three-yang' and 'the opening, closing and pivot' to the upper limb and lower limb as well as the torso of the human body, this author proposed a human body model with both upper limb and lower limb attached, inspired by the posture of the fetus in the developmental stage. Conclusions : In this study, using a new human body model, it was revealed that the distribution of the three yin and three yang and the opening, closing and pivot' as defined in the ≪Huangdi's Internal Classic≫ can be applied not only to the torso of the human body, but also to the upper limb and lower limb. Based on the understanding of meridians, the selection of meridians in the clinical acupuncture should be made accurately, and continuous interest and research on this are expected.

본 연구는 1차압밀 중의 크리프의 영향과 Yin이 제안한 탄-점-소성 모델에 대한 적용성을 검토하였다. 탄성모델을 이용한 일반적인 압밀이론은, 1차압밀 과정을 표현할 수 있으나 2차압밀을 표현할 수 없다. 이러한 결과는 2차압축을 표현할 수 있는 점성에 기인하며, 때로는 Ladd 등(1977)이 제안한 가정 A 및 B와 같은 스케일효과(실험실 공시체와 현장조건 사이의 점토층 두께의 차이)와 관련되어진다. 통상적으로 1차압밀 중의 크리프의 존재는 많은 연구자에 의해 확인되어졌으며, 가정 B가 잘 맞는 것으로 되어있다. 한편, 대형압밀시험을 통해 가정 A와 B의 중간적인 특성이 Aboshi(1973)에 의한 가정 C로써 제안되어졌다. 본 연구에서는 1차압밀 중의 침하-시간관계에 대한 크리프의 영향을 명백히 하기 위해, peat와 점토에 대해 분할형 압밀시험기를 이용하여 가정 B의 압밀시험을 행하였다. 그리고 Yin의 탄-점-소성 모델을 이용하여 실험결과를 해석하였다. 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1차압밀 종료시에 분할 공시체의 압축은 과잉간극수압 소산속도의 차이에 의해 동일하지 않았다. 또한 분할형 압밀시험기에 의해 측정된 평균변형률과 Yin의 EVP 모델을 이용한 해석치는 잘 일치하였다. 그러나 과잉간극수압의 소산에 대해서는 측정치가 Yin 모델에 비해 빨리 소산되었다.

Objective : To develop an integrated curriculum for acupuncture treatment and pain sensitivity practice, and discuss its usefulness. Method : We established an integrated practice program incorporating acupuncture and pain on physiology perspectives, and measured pain sensitivity at Yin (PC6${\sim}$PC4) and Yang (TE5${\sim}$TE9) meridians before and after the acupuncture treatment. Results : The Yang (39.4${\pm}$23.5) and Yin (46.0${\pm}$25.5) meridians have significantly different degrees of pain sensitivity (n=118, p=0.018). Pain sensitivity was significantly decreased after acupuncture treatment at Yang (54.63${\pm}$28.02/ 40.81${\pm}$29.39) and Yin (56.13${\pm}$27.88/ 38.72${\pm}$25.17) meridians (n=16, p<0.001). Discussion and Conclusion : The difference between the Yin and Yang meridians can be materialized in this integrated practice curriculum model. The effectiveness of this integrated class and suggestions for improvement of integrated curricula were discussed.

Objectives : The water extract of Sebsaeng-eum(SheShengYin) has been used for treatment of ischemic brain damage in oriental medicine, However, little is known about the mechanism by which the water extract of Sebsaeng-eum(SheShengYin) rescues brain cells from ischemic damages. Methods : To elucidate the protective mechanism on ischemic induced cytotoxicity, We investigated the regulation of LPS and PMA induced iNOS expression in $C_{6}$ glial cells. Results : LPS and PMA treatment for 48 h in $C_{6}$ glial cells markedly induced NO, but treatment of the cells with the water extract of Sebsaeng-eum(SheShengYin) decreased nitrite formation. In addition, LPS and PMA treatment for 48 h induced severe cell death in $C_{6}$ glial cells. However treatment of the cells with the water extract of Sebsaeng-eum(SheSheng Yin) did not induce significant changes compared to the control. LPS and PMA induced iNOS activation in $C_{6}$ glial cells caused chromosomal condensation and fragmentation of nuclei. Conclusions : Taken together, We suggest that the protective effects of the water extract of Sebsaeng-eum(SheShengYin) against ischemic brain damages may be mediated by regulation of iNOS during ischemic condition.

Objectives Because of growing interest in personalized medicine, constitutional medicine also becomes more important. Constitutional medicine has already developed in many countries. In this study, we tried to investigate five type personality (Wutairen), a kind of Chinese constitutional medicine. Methods We did a research on five type personality using CNKI (http://www.cnki.net) up to Jan 15, 2018. Total 204 papers were searched with the keyword "Wutairen". We excluded 170 papers away from the subject or clinically studied. As a result, 34 papers were selected and analyzed. Results and Conclusions Five type personality (Wutairen) originated from Huangdi Neijing-Lingshu. There are 5 types: greater Yin person (Taiyin), lesser Yin person (Shaoyin), greater Yang person (Taiyang), lesser Yang person (Shaoyang) and Yin-yang balanced person. These are classified according to Yin-Yang content. Each type has different characteristic, treatment and prevention. Five type personality theory considers internal factors more important than external factors. Also, it considers the balance of Yin-Yang important.

There have been many studies to find out association between the face characteristics and some diseases or the personality and the health state, but there have been few association studies between the face characteristics and the yin/yang personality. We would like to suggest that the yin/yang personality is associated with the face characteristics. We collected 1,471 subjects from the February, 2008 to July, 2010. We divided into three groups of subjects by a yin/yang personality score and analyzed the face characteristics after adjusting for age. The Analysis of Covariance and Scheffe test was conducted to certify the difference among three groups. P-value for significance was under 0.05. The significant face characteristics were SH36 in men, and FD50_51, SH36, FArea04, FAreaRatio4, FR01, FR05 in women. There is some association between the face characteristics and the yin/yang personality.

Objectives : This paper aims to examine the Yin-Yang characteristics of bland taste. Methods : Medicinals including bland taste were searched in herbology textbooks and mainly in the Bencaogangmu, of which major discourses were analyzed to examine the Yin-Yang characteristics of bland taste. Results & Conclusions : Most medicinals with bland taste were sweet-bland-cold, holding properties of cooling heat, stimulating urination and detoxification. These properties could be explained in relation to the Triple Burner's metabolism of Qi and fluids, as they stimulate perspiration and urination, improving the flow of fluids which in turn supports production of Original Qi, by working on the TB's Qi circulation system. In the bland taste discourse, it was understood that bland taste moves the Qi system and produces fluids, by first ascending then descending. Zhudanxi and the Neijing have opposing views on whether bland taste is Yin or Yang, but both saw blandness to have both Yin and Yang qualities. Characteristics of the bland taste could be better understood in relation to the Triple Burner. The phrase 'bland is attached to sweet taste[淡附于甘]' refers to the likeliness between the two tastes in that bland taste has the Central Earth qualities, integrating others and concealing itself in its blandness, its taste unspecific, mild and unstimulating thus communicating the Qi within the entire Triple Burner from Upper to Middle to Lower, as does sweet taste.
