Purpose: The purpose of this study examined the distribution of constitution(Con) types by examining the Chinese constitution table questionnaire with 594 Seoul citizens. It investigated the preferences of five colors by the Con. It then was to explore the validity of the test and the five colors according to the Con. Methods: We used the CC table questionnaire and surveyed by using a cardinal color. Results: The Con type distributions include yangweak(31.4%), yin-weak, gall-humidity, harmony, qi-weak, qi-gloom, specific, and extravasate in order. The lack of statistical significance also indicates that the CC test is not appropriate for Seoul citizens. The order of five preferences is 31% in blue, 25.3% in yellow, 18% in white, 17.7% in red, and 8% in black. Blue was the most preferred and black the least. There were differences in the distribution of five colors, but they were not statistically significant. In five viscera diseases of the yang-weak con, the stomach was more than half(50.3%). The highest preferred color was blue (30.9%). This difference was significant(p <.01). It evaluated that this influences the preference of five colors by five diseases. Conclusions: The constitution of Seoulian in the CC survey distributed into nine categories. There was a difference in preference of five colors by the con. However, it was not significant. This indicates that the Chinese con table is not suitable for Seoulian. However, the results are to be primary data for research in this field.

중국의 체질의학은 중국의학의 진단과 변증 및 치료영역에서 매우 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있는 이론 중의 하나이다. 최근 중국에서의 체질에 대한 연구는 점차 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 한국의학계에서는 체질이 중요한 요소로 인식되었으며 사상의학을 대표로 하는 체질의학이론의 체계가 이미 형성되어있다. 이 논문은 중국과 한국의 양국의 체질이론에 대해 그 연원과 이론체계 및 임상응용에 대해 비교고찰한 것이다. 본고의 연구를 통해 한국의 체질의학은 중국의 체질의학의 영향을 받은 것이지만, 중국의 체질의학의 내용을 더욱 심화시키고 확대한 것으로 평가된다.

본 논문에서는 조의학에서 질병을 진단할 때 사용하는 체질판단, 병증판단이 중의학의 변증론치와 어떤 상관성을 갖고 있으며 앞으로 어떠한 방향으로 상호결합해나갈것인지 정리한 소고이다. 본고의 논지를 정리하기 위하여 필자는 중국의 중의약관리국의 중점연구과제결과인 "조의체질치료학연구"에서 말한 체질가분론, 체병상관론, 체질가조론, 안상증용약론 등 4개의 연구방법을 토대로 정리하였다. 이 연구방법은 근거와 연구방법론에 있어서 모두 중국의 조의체질의학이론에 모두 중요한 의의가 있다.

This study was performed on 171 workers in the Kyungbuk Kumi industrial complex to verify the validity and the reliability of the Korean version of the constitutions in a Chinese medicine questionnaire. Each subjective fulfilled a questionnaire of 61 questions in 9 categories based on a self-assessment. All categories and each constitution's internal consistency were analyzed using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient to review the questionnaire's reliability, and factor analysis and correlation analysis were performed to review the validity. The reliability was satisfied with Cronbach's alpha coefficient for all categories and each constitution's internal consistency ranged from 0.601 to 0.925, and the validity was verified by factor analysis, which showed the same two factors of each constitution. Correlation analysis of each constitution showed statistical significance and strong positive correlations among 8 constitutions except for the gentleness type (P=0.0127). As a result, it is believed that the Korean version of the constitutions in Chinese medicine questionnaire can be useful for diagnosing the constitutions of Koreans.

본 논문은 동양의 중요사상중의 하나인 음양오행의 오행속성을 물리적으로 해석하여 사람의 오장육부의 크기와 얼굴형상에 따른 체질을 분류하였다. 이 분류에 대한 이론적 보완으로 동양최고의 의학서적으로 알려진 황제내경에 나타난 체질분류, 훈민정음에 창제 원리로 사용된 음양오행이론, 그리고 오행생식요법에서 제시한 얼굴형상등과 본 이론의 결과를 비교하였다. 그리스 철학자 엠페도클레스의 체질론이 감성연구에 대한 효시로 거론되고 있는 점을 고려할 때 동양의 전일적인 사고스시템인 음양오행에 의해 체질론에 대한 이론적 근거가 확립된다면 감성연구에 일조하는 바가 크리라 생각된다.

This paper is the study for the automatic pulse-power diagnostic system to discriminate the four constitutions with the piezo-sensor module and digital signal processing hardware attached on the patient arm-neck and the statistical decision software instead of the fingers and intelligence of a traditional korean doctor. This system can be used as a important medical equipment because this automatically diagnostic system has shown the excellent performance of the 65∼76% correctness against the 50∼66% correctness which the general korean doctors with knowledge and experiences have shown. Additionally, this paper has discussed the excellent characteristics of the automatic discrimination algorithm of the four constitutions.

중의학에는 골다공증이란 병명은 없으나 현대 골다공증의 병인병기와 임상특징에 근거하며 중의학의 "골위(骨痿)", "골비(骨痹)"의 범주에 속한다. 고대 중의문헌에서 골위의 병인은 비교적 복잡하며 병기의 변화 역시 다양하나 "기혈이 유양(濡養)작용을 하지 못하는 것"을 위주로 하는 주요한 병리특징이 있으며, 골비의 병인은 외사, 계절, 병위, 체질 등 복합적인 인소로 인하여 "기혈이 막히는 것(閉阻)"을 위주로 하는 주요한 병리특징이 있다. 골위와 골비의 증상표현은 대략 비슷하나 골위는 하지가 위약(痿弱)하여 사용할 수 없는 것이 특징이며, 골비는 대부분 전신통증을 위주로 하기에 치료법칙에 있어서도 각자의 특징이 있다. 그러므로 본 논문은 중의학이 골다공증의 이론기초를 인식하는 기초를 다지는데 중요한 의의가 있다고 사료된다.

1. Background : Sasang Constitutional Medicine divides mankind into Taeyangin(太陽人), Taeumin(太陰人), Soyangin(少陽人) and Soeumin(少陰人) according to appearance, moral nature and characteristic of constitutional symptoms, and it is a medical science to study about different treatment for each constitution. In Sasang Constitutional Medicine, diagnosis of constitution was so important that we had the necessity of studying constitutional diagnostic method which had presented wholly and intuitively in Dongyi Soose Bowon(東醫壽世保元) with objective and analytic thinking. There were several attempts to classify Sasang Constitutional Types through morphological investigation of each parts of body. The one of them was to use measuring the body. In this study, we purposed to make clear whether the analysis of fingerprints and palm, one of the physical anthropologic methods would be helpful to classify Sasang Constitution. 2. Method : After practicing Questionnaire I and QSCC(Questionnaire of Sasang Constitution) II from 347 healthy Korean adults(242 males and 106 females), we analyzed fingerprints and palm prints of 208 people(142 males and 66 females) who were classified same constitution from two questionnaires. We analyzed the types of fingerprints according to the number of triradius and counted the number of dermal ridges from fingerprint center to triradius. We found triradius in the lower part of each finger and analyzed the courses of dermal ridges and counted the number of dermal ridges between each triradius. We mesured angle atd, and then researched relationship between fingerprints, palm prints and Sasang Constitution. 3. Result and Conclusion : The results of Sasang Constitution analysis of 208 Korean adults showed 76 Taeumin(36.5%), 81 Soeumin(39.0%) and 51 Soyangin(24.5%). The analytic results of fingerprints and palm prints are as follows : The types of fingerprints were helpful to sort Taeumin and the types of palm prints were helpful to sort Soyangin and Soeumin especially. In addition, the number of dermal ridges in fingerprints and palm prints were helpful to sort Soyangin. Fingerprints and palm prints have characteristic in each constitutions, so the investigation of fingerprints and palm prints seems to helpful to classify Sasang Constitution. We are planning to report fingerprints and palm prints of more subjects.

1. Objectives: The objectives of this paper are to report Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Constitution Theory and the present state of Chinese Health Administration Center. 2. Methods: We visited China for "China Technology Survey" in 2009. Our purposes were to research for the study of constitutional medicine in China and to search for the Development Plan of Constitutional Medicine Through the Research of Chinese Constitutional Medicine. This paper is the report of the "China Technology Survey". 3. Results & Conclusions: In China, the concept and diagnosis of TCM constitutions is nine(Balanced Constitution, Qi-deficient Constitution, Yang-deficient Constitution, Yin-deficient Constitution, Phlegm-dampness Constitution, Damp-heat Constitution, Stagnant blood Constitution, Stagnant qi Constitution, Inherited specific Constitution). And Chinese government established the Classification and Diagnosis Standards for the Constitutions of TCM in 2009. TCM Constitution Theory is being widely applied at Health Administration Center that treats 'predisease' patients. Theses Chinese clinical implications of constitutional medicine are a good example for "Sasang Constituional Medicine" Care Service.
