Objective : The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the characteristics of pulse diagnosis in infertile women. Methods : We have studied 38 women infertility patients in the Dunsan oriental hospital by using pulse diagnostic device. Pulsation and pulse types have been analyzed with variables of infertility factors. Statistical analysis was performed by adopting descriptive and inferential tests. Results : Both right and left chi parts were shown different from other parts. In small intestine and gall bladder showed significantly different pulsation according to the infertility factor. Short pulse, fine pulse, skipping pulse, shallow pulse and deep pulse were often representative pulse types for the main organs of woman infertility. In Triple energizers showed significantly different shallow pulse type according to the infertility factor. Conclusion : The results corresponded closely with previous literature on pulse diagnosis about infertile women.

In order to standardize the pressure/depth against radial artery, the externally-applied-pressure measuring system was fabricated and evaluated. Based on the resistance-variable characteristic of the very thin($10{\mu}m$) film conductive tape along the pressure of a tip of a examiner's hand, this system was designed. The change of the pressure was processed through voltage regulator and Matlab S/W, then showed on computer monitor. The signal output through voltage regulator, and Matlab S/W was evaluated on various conditions. The evaluation was executed on these cases; an examiner slowly increases and decreases the pressure, rapidly increases and decreases the pressure, sequentially increases and decreases the pressure, sustains the pressure, micro-changes the pressure. As a pulse examiner varies the pressure on the radial artery of the examinee, the system's real-time output consistently varies according to the pressure. From the results, it is concluded that this system consistently shows the pressure of the tip of a examiner's hand in real time without interrupting the evaluation of the radial artery pulse. Therefore this system is expected to standardize the value of the pressure/depth externally applied by an examiner.

한의학 진단의 중요 요소인 맥진을 자동화한 맥진기에서뿐만 아니라 비관혈적 심혈관 기능 평가를 위해서 요골동맥 맥파 측정이 널리 활용되고 있다. 요골동맥 맥파는 피험자의 생리적, 병리적 원인을 통제하더라도 가압력이 변함에 따라 형태가 달라지며, 어느 시점 맥파를 피험자의 상태를 대표하는 맥파로 해야 할지에 대한 명확한 기준이 없어 맥압이 최대가 되는 시점의 맥파를 사용하고 있다. 그러나, 맥파가 측정되는 가압력 범위뿐만 아니라 맥압이 최대가 되는 시점이 피험자마다 다르기 때문에 정확한 대표 맥파를 획득하기 위해서는 보다 가압력 단계를 늘려야 하며, 결과적으로 측정시간이 보다 길어지게 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 최소한의 가압단계로도 보다 정확히 대표 맥파를 획득할 수 있는 방법을 개발할 수 있도록, 정밀 제어가 가능한 가압 로봇 축, 가압에 의해 눌리는 피부이동 거리 측정을 위한 레이저 센서, 가압에 따른 피부 반발력과 맥파를 측정할 수 있는 압력 센서로 구성된 테스트 지그를 개발하였다. 이를 통해 모터 이동 스텝 수에 따른 피부 이동 거리 특성, 피부 이동 거리에 따른 맥파 변화 특성 등을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 향후 효과적인 대표 맥파 획득 방법을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Objective : The region, observation period, figuration of pulse, pulse frequency, process of diagnosis and related diagnostic methods in traditional pediatric pulse diagnosis were studied in this article. Method : The articles related to traditional pediatric pulse diagnosis in Traditional medical classics, and analysis to the characteristics of it was done, then lastly, the principle of pulse manifestation and the meaning of application to modern times were considered. Result & Conclusion : It is difficult to catch the figuration of pediatric pulse because of dynamic change of body conditions, fast heartbeat and narrow region of pulse. Therefore, the pulse diagnosis appropriated for children have been developed and combined with the special diagnosis methods, for example, palpation of forehead and observation of index finger. The traditional pediatric pulse diagnosis is done with just one finger palpation in the period of 3 to 5 years old to identify the speed, length, size and height of pulse. The standard average of pulse frequency is 7~8 par breath in the period of 3 to 5 years old according to traditional medical classic.

The rapid expansion of the medical information super-highway through the internet with the sophistication of computer engineering and its application has made telemedicine in the cyberspace possible. Recent progress in the medical informatics enables us to use the medical information regardless on the time or place limit, to make a diagnostic and therapeutic plan. according to increasing need about health of general population. There are many database oriented sites on the web, which provide medical common senses, hospital information, and medical counselling on the web. But there are few oriental pulse database on the web. The purpose of this study is to develope the Clinical Oriental Pulse Database Management System over the WWW.

Clinical trials are experimental studies with human subjects in which various limitations and variables exist by their nature. As a preparatory stage for designing clinical trials in Oriental medicine, this study considers a virtual protocol to show guideline regarding tasks necessary when writing a trials protocol. Clinical trials have many difficulties in planning, procedure, and interpretation of results, and these may be influenced by various biases that are difficult to predict and eliminate. To deal with these issues, clinical trials need a collaboration between medical experts and biostatisticians from the beginning, through the entire trial, until the final analysis. Therefore, the first stage of clinical trials is to write out a trial plan among the experts in each field to derive the best design for the trial.

In this paper, we developed a radial pulse transducer that has strain-gauge cantilever type load cell for total pulse detection on chongu arterial. The transducer consist of load cell and driving electronic circuits. Load cell consist of cantilever and two metal film strain gauge. The Pressure signal from chongu artery is delivered to load cell using artery rider that attached to cantilever Therefore the pressure signal convert to voltage signals by the developed transducer As the results of experiment, the developed transducer has very good linearity at pressure to voltage conversion. The total pulse detection transducer can detected three kinds of chongu artery pulse with conveniently.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to present several proposals for future pulse diagnosis practice and research by investigating the trend of pulse diagnosis studies in Korea. Methods: We searched online medical databases, including National Discovery for Science Leaders (NDSL), the Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System (OASIS), the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), and the Korean Traditional Knowledge Portal (KTKP), for pulse diagnosis articles in Korea. We selected articles on pulse diagnosis but excluded duplicate articles, articles irrelevant to pulse diagnosis, and articles published in foreign countries. Results: In the first screening, 801 articles were selected. We found 251 articles and classified them according to category. The medical engineering field had 148 articles. A total of 24 articles were related to algorithms for pulse wave detection, 34 to sensors, five to pressurization technology, 16 to systems, 11 to remote medical service, five to mobiles, nine to trends, and 44 to basic research. The Korean medicine field had 103 articles. A total of 41 articles were devoted to literature reviews, 20 to case reports, 11 to constitutional medicine, six to experimental studies, and 25 to relevant research. Conclusion: More efforts to practice pulse diagnosis for various diseases should be made and the results actively published.

Recently, the scientific study from traditional oriental medicine is being progressed. Moreover, through both oriental medicine and medicine are cooperated with medical examination and treatment, the study in cooperation of merits from oriental medicine as well as from medicine is progressed. In this paper, we will develop automatic needle shot using fuzzy rules and USN techniques, which a user can choose meridian pathways from the menu items built in the cellular phone, so it can perceive patient's body conditions and launch an aneurysm electric pressure of a cycle.
