Objectives: This study aimed to identify the current use and investigate the clinical practice of Korean Medicine for climacteric syndrome and postmenopausal syndrome outpatients. Methods: We studied climactic syndrome and postmenopausal syndrome outpatients who visited Daejeon Korean Medicine Hospital of Daejeon University from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021 via an analysis of the medical records. Results: 130 patients were finally selected. Their average age was 51.91±4.57 years and the average number of visits was 7.51±11.40 times. Patients usually complained two or more addresses, and the most frequent symptoms were hot flushes. 126 patients took herbal medicines and 99 of them took herbal decoctions. 106 patients were treated by acupuncture. 58 patients were treated by pharmacopuncture and Hominis Placenta was used to 50 subjects. As for the improvement rate by symptoms, hot flushes were the highest at 65.5%. We compared the improvement rate of groups taking Guibi-tang-gami A and Guibi-tang-gami B, the common herbal decoction of Daejeon Korean Medicine Hospital of Daejeon University. In the group of Guibi-tang-gami A, the improvement rate of hot flushes was the highest and in the other, vaginal dryness was the highest. Urinary frequency of the group with Hominis Placenta pharmacopuncture showed more than three times higher improvement rate of the non-executive group. Conclusions: We analyzed general characteristics, clinical characteristics, types of Korean medicine treatment, improvement rates by symptoms of 130 outpatients diagnosed with climactic syndrome and postmenopausal syndrome. This study could be used as reference to provide practical data of outpatient treatment for Climacteric Syndrome and Postmenopausal Syndrome.

중년여성은 갱년기와 노화, 과다한 역할로 인해 다양한 심리적·신체적 스트레스로 긴장을 경험하며, 이것이 수면장애로 이어지는 경우가 많다. 그러나 이와 연관된 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 수면장애를 경험하는 중년여성이 건강을 도모할 수 있도록 긴장이완을 돕는 싱잉볼의 효과성에 대한 연구 필요성이 제기된다. 이에 본 연구는 2019년 2월부터 2020년 4월까지 수면장애의 어려움을 호소하는 중년여성 중 피츠버그 수면의 질 평가 측정점수가 5점 이상인 4명을 선정하여 싱잉볼 체험을 40분 실시하고 심층 인터뷰 내용을 토대로 한 Giorgi의 현상학적 연구방법으로 진행하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 도출한 결론은 다음과 같다. 연구 결과 참여자들의 싱잉볼 체험을 통해 518개의 구성의미와 15개의 의미단위, 7개의 하위요소, 2개의 주제군을 도출해 내었다. 첫째, 싱잉볼 경험 시 신체적 경험으로는 통증과 이완 경험, 심리적 경험으로는 마음이완과 긍정심리 경험, 심상적 경험으로는 이미지와 색깔 경험을 하였다. 둘째, 싱잉볼 경험 이후 연구 참여자들이 느낀 신체적 변화는 신체이완, 신체증상, 신체활력 증가였으며 심리적 변화는 불안감소, 유쾌함과 긍정심리 증가였다. 행동적 변화는 행동 느긋해짐, 활동량의 증가였고 수면변화로 인한 수면개선의 효과가 두드러지게 나타났다. 본 연구에서 싱잉볼은 수면장애를 경험하는 중년여성의 긴장이완에 심리적·신체적으로 긍정적인 효과가 있음을 확인하였고, 스트레스와 긴장으로 인한 수면장애로 고통 받는 중년여성들과 현대인들에게 유용한 도구인 싱잉볼을 활용하여 양질의 삶을 살아가도록 돕는데 그 의의를 둔다.

본 연구는 갱년기 장애에 대한 홍삼의 효과를 조사할 목적으로 수행하였다. 홍삼의 효과는 자성 흰쥐의 난소를 인위적으로 절제하여 갱년기 장애를 유도한 후 홍삼조사포닌을 3 개월동안 복강으로 투여하여 그 효과를 살펴보았다. 혈소판수는 난소절제 유무에 관계없이 사포닌 투여군에서 약간 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 난소절제군의 혈중중성지질함량은 99.9 mg/㎗로서 정상대조군의 152.1 mg/㎗에 비해 현저히 감소하나 (34%) 홍삼조사포닌을 투여하면 그 함량이 138.0 mg/㎗으로 그 함량감소를 다소 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 장기무게는 난소절제군/비절제군, 사포닌투여군/비투여군 간에 큰 차이가 관찰되지 않았으나 비장(spleen)의경우 사포닌 투여군에서 유의적인 무게증가가 관찰되었다. 흰쥐에 있어 대퇴골의 무게는 건조 전·후 각각 1.57 및 1.l0g이었고 난소절제군의 경우 1.40및 1.02g으로 난소절제에 의해 약 8∼1l%의 무게감소가 관찰되었다. 난소를 절제하고 사포닌을 투여한 실험군(OS)의 대퇴골 무게는 건조 전·후 각각 1.63및 1.11g으로 모두 정상대조군과 동등한 수준으로 회복되어 홍삼조사포닌 투여는 난소절제로 야기되는 대퇴골의 무게감소를 유의하게 억제하는 것으로 사료된다(p<0.05, p<0.01).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Lycii fructus (LF) on serum lipid and the collagen content of the connective tissues in ovariectomized rats. From day 2 until day 37 after the ovariectomy, Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomly assigned to the following groups : sham-operated rat (Sham), ovariectomized control rat (OVX-control), and ovariectomized rats supplemented with the LF 50mg/kg bw/day (OVX-LF). The LF ethanol extract were orally administrated 1ml per day. Body weight gain was not significantly different in groups. Although total-cholesterol and triglyceride were increased in the ovariectomized control, supplementation with the LF extract decreased the levels. Moreover, the serum HDL-cholesterol levels were significantly increased after supplementation with the LF extract(p<0.05). Supplementation with the LF extract prevented a decrease in the collagen level in bone and cartilage tissues. These results are consistent with the conclusions based on the estrogenic activities of LF. Therefore, it may be used to possibly improve the quality of life in menopausal women.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Artemisia Princeps Var. Orientalis (AP) on serum lipids and the collagen content of the connective tissues in ovariectomized rats. From day 2 until day 37 after the ovariectomy, Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: sham-operated rats (Sham), ovariectomized control rats (OVX-control), and ovariectomized rats supplemented with the AP 50 mg/kg bw/day (OVX-AP). The AP ethanol extracts were orally administrated 1 mL per day. The OVX rats were significantly heavier than the sham-operated rats at all time points, but supplementation with the AP extracts tended to gain weight less than OVX-control. Although total-cholesterol was increased at OVX-control, supplementation with the AP extracts tended to result in less than OVX-control. Triglyceride was significantly decreased after supplemented with the AP extracts (p<0.05). HDL-cholesterol is appeared higher AP extracts group than OVX-control. According to the results, we could know the fact that AP extracts were effective on serum lipids content throughout decreasing total-cholesterol, triglyceride and increasing HDL-cholesterol in ovariectomized rats. Supplementation with the AP extracts prevented a decrease in the collagen level in bone and cartilage tissues. These results are consistent with the conclusions based on the estrogenic activities of AP. Therefore, it may be used to possibly improve the quality of life in menopausal women.
