Methods Materials and references were collected about the literature survey. Lee Je-Ma's books such as Donguisusebowon, Gyeokchigo and a book of Confucianism including the Mencius. Results and Conclusions Hoyeonjiqi in 'Sadanron' of Donguisusebowon encompasses the Qi of metaphysical personality and physiological Qi, and it can be seen that it is the Qi that fuses body and mind together. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom are directly linked to the personal mind of Sasangin. Unlike the mencius's four clues of virtue, the Sadan is discussed in terms of the large and small organs in four constitution such sa lungs, spleen, liver, and kidneys. Next, In the relationship between Taesim of 'Whoakchungron' and greed of Mencius, if discuss a relationships between 'I understand language' and Taesim, Deceptive speech connects with the dogmatism of Soeumin, Licentious speech connects with indulgence of Taeumin, Crooked speech connects with laziness of Soyangin and Evasive speech connects with selfishness of Taeyangin.

1. Objectives: This study examines the pathologies that originate from a Common Root Pathologic Category(CRPC; 同出一屬) in the Soyangin that are suggested in the Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM). 2. Methods: The changes in concepts and perceptions on the Soyangin pathologies were compared across the different editions of Donguisusebowon, "Donguisusebowon, Gabo edition(東醫壽世保元甲午本) (DGO)" and "Donguisusebowon, Sinchuk edition (東醫壽世保元辛丑本) (DSC)". 3. Results and Conclusions: The Soyangin pathologies originating from a CRPC that are described in Donguisusebowon are actually detailed classifications of the Yin-deficiency Diurnal-heat symptomatology (陰虛午熱證) and the Chest-congestion symptomatology (結胸證). Lee Jema had introduced the concept of "Common Root Pathologic Category(CRPC)" to approach pathologies of similar exterior/interior classification or severity stage (mild/moderate/severe/critical) by combining them in a comprehensive, integrative pathology system. This comprehensive approach, which promotes better understanding of the Soyangin pathology and maximizes the therapeutic efficiency of SCM, constitutes the "Comprehensive Therapeutic Methodology" that is the hallmark of Sasang therapy.

1. Objectives: This research was proposed to find out how the recognition on Mangeum-syndrome(亡陰證) of Soyangin in Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM) evolved from "Donguisusebowon-GabObon(東醫壽世保元甲午本)"(DGO) to "Donguisusebowon-ShinChukbon(東醫壽世保元辛丑本)"(DSC). 2. Methods: We compared "Donguisusebowon-GabObon(東醫壽世保元甲午本)"(DGO) with "Donguisusebowon-ShinChukbon(東醫壽世保元辛丑本)"(DSC) to know how the symptom, mechanism, treatment principle and treatment methods on Mangeum-syndrome(亡陰證) of Soyangin in Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM). 3. Results and Conclusions: (1) The way to categorize the Exterior Disease and Interior Disease was different between DSC and DGO. (2) There was only a fundamental mechanism about the Boktongseolsa-syndrome(gastralgia and diarrhea) and no treatment principles and treatment methods about it in DGO. But the Boktongseolsa-syndrome was evolved into Mangeum-syndrome(亡陰證) in DSC with a detailed mechanism and treatment principles of it. (3) The evolution of Mangeum-syndrome(亡陰證) in DSC from Boktongseolsa-syndrome in DGO was attributed to the experience of treatment on Seomeo-syndrome(譫語證).

This study was designed to define the efficacy of prescriptions of Taeeumin in Sasang constitutional medicine. The twenty four prescriptions registered in Donguisusebowon Sinchuk edition written by Je-ma Lee in 1901 are the targets of this paper. We searched and analyzed original text such as Donguisusebowon Sinchuk edition written in 1901, Donguisusebowon Gabo edition written in 1894, Donguisusebowon Sansang Chobongwon, and posthumous manuscripts left by Je-ma Lee published by the Ministry of Health of North Korea. The pathology of the Taeeumin is classified into four mechanisms those are Esophagus-Cold (Wiwanhan), Cold Lung-Dry (HanpaeJo), Liver-Heat (Ganyeol), and Heat Lung-Dry (YeolpaeJo). The prescriptions of Taeeumin regulate four mechanisms. Twenty four prescriptions of Taeeumin regulate the mechanisms of Wiwanhan, HanpaeJo, Ganyeol, YeolpaeJo and correct the energy-fluid pathology of Taeeumin.

1. Background: GalgeunNabokja-Tang(葛根蘿葍子湯) is suggested as treatment and prescription of Exterior Heat syndrome Diarrhea(表熱證泄瀉) in Donguisusebowon Tae-eumin Interior febrile disease induced form the liver affected by heat("東醫壽世保元" "太陰人肝受熱裏熱病論"), but is not recorded the treatment contents in Sinjungbang("新定太陰人病應用要藥二十四方"). 2. Methods: Accordingly, the writer surveyed, compared, and arranged the relevant contents by collecting books of doctors of Four-Constitutional Medicine(四象醫) since Lee Je-ma including Lee Je-ma's books. 3. Results: and Conclusions: 1) The treatment contents in GalgeunNabokja-Tang are thought to be valid to have the criterion as the contents of appearing in SanggyohyuntoDonguisusebowon Boyubang("詳校懸吐東醫壽世保元" "補遺方"). 2) The origin in GalgeunNabokja-Tang is GalgeunNabokja-Tang in Bimang-lok("備忘錄"). And the period of having made treatment for the first time may be estimated to be the one between Donguisuse- bowonSasangchobonguan("東醫壽世保元四象草本卷") and HamsansachonDonguisusebowonGabogubon ("咸山沙村東醫壽世保元甲午舊本"). 3) GalgeunNabokja-Tang is thought to be probably what Han Du-jeong recorded in Boyubang by searching for what Lee Je-ma modified some of GalgeunNabokja-Tang in Bimang-lok while writing Pathological Syndromes("病證論") in Donguisusebowon("東醫壽世保元").

Objectives : This paper aims to suggest alternative interpretations to previous ones of 'Daedong-eo-Hyeobui(大同於協義)' and 'Gakrip-eo-Cheonri(各立於擅利)' in the chapter 'Theories on Nature and Conduct(性命論)' in Donguisusebowon(東醫壽世保元) which have been found to be inadequate. Methods : Previous interpretations were thoroughly examined, then evaluated based on the narrative form and logical probability of the Donguisusebowon(東醫壽世保元). Afterwards, correct interpretations of the contents were suggested based on the context of the chapter 'Theories on Nature and Conduct(性命論).' Results & Conclusions : Of 'Daedong-eo-Hyeobui(大同於協義)', Daedong(大同) should be interpreted as 'to gather largely' instead of 'all the same.' Hyeobui(協義) should be interpreted as 'to submit willingly' and not 'to cooperate to Ui(義).' In the case of 'Gakrip-eo-Cheonri(各立於 擅利)', Gakrip(各立) means for people of same minds to rise against evil individually while Cheonri(擅利) refers to the evil of coveting for gains individually. There are other cases where existing interpretations have been erroneous other than the suggested examples, which prompts thorough re-evaluation of the text.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to enhance the understanding of Yin and Yang poison by examining and comparing the views of Je-ma Lee and the medicine scholars before Je-ma Lee, including Zhang Zhongjing. Methods We examined and compared the contents related to Yin and Yang poison in 『Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet (金匱要略)』, 『Donguibogam (東醫寶鑑)』, and 『Donguisusebowon (東醫壽世保元)』. Results and Conclusion In 『Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet』, Zhang Zhongjing described the symptoms of Yin and Yang poison respectively, but could not suggested each prescription. In 『Donguibogam』, there were several prescriptions for Yin and Yang poison, respectively. In 『Donguisusebowon』, Yang poison belonged to the Soyangin and Taeeumin disease, Yin poison belonged to the Soeumin disease. Je-ma Lee emphasized that interior heat, which has grown suddenly should be controlled quickly for treatment of Yang poison in Soyangin and Taeeumin. And, in order to treat Yin poison caused by chronic course in Soeumin, Ginseng should be used a lot to help the Yang energy. Also, it is a better treatment to take the medicine ahead of time before the disease develops into Yin poison.

1. Objectives: This research aims to study the general overview of the theories on the covetous desire and the relevant theories on cultivation mentioned in "Donguisusebowon (東醫壽世保元): Theories on Nature and Conduct (性命論)". 2. Methods: The theories concerning the covetous desire introduced in Dong-Mu's manuscripts, including "Gyukchigo 格致藁)", "Yougocho (遺稿抄)", "Dongmuyougo (東武遺稿)" and "Jaejungsinpyun (濟衆新編)", were comprehensively reviewed. Furthermore, the significance of the theories on the covetous desire and the relevant theories on self-cultivation were studied within the context of "Donguisusebowon(東醫壽世保元): Theories on Nature and Conduct (性命論)". 3. Results and Conclusions: 1) Among the four covetous desires (selfishness (私心), indiscretion (放心), indolence(逸心), acquisitiveness (慾心)), selfishness and acquisitiveness are the interpersonal components that deal with the relationship between individuals, whereas indiscretion and indolence are the intra-personal or self-concerned components that deal with the internal desires within the individual. 2) In the early concepts on the quaternity explaining the perspective on the human being as introduced in Dongmu's earlier manuscripts, the four covetous desires are thought of as the most important etiological components, that are also intimately related to the theories of self-cultivation. 3) Among the concepts introduced in "Donguisusebowon (東醫壽世保元): Theories on Nature and Conduct (性命論)", viciousness (邪心) and negligence (怠心) are primary, intra-personal (self-concerned) desires that are henceforth matched to indiscretion and indolence, respectively, while selfishness (arrogance, assertiveness, indiscrimination and exaggeration (驕矜伐夸)) and acquisitiveness (violation, extravagance, slothfulness and stealthiness(奪侈懶竊)) are secondary, interpersonal desires. 4) 'Preserving the mind (存其心)' and 'rectifying the body (修其身)' are Methods of overcoming viciousness (indiscretion) and negligence (indolence), the intrapersonal desires, while 'nurturing the nature (養其性)' and 'propping the course (立其命)' are Methods of eliminating selfishness and acquisitiveness, the interpersonal desires, which ultimately each leads to the completion of Nature (性) and Conduct/Course (命).

"Regulation for about kind of formularies of Korean traditional herbaland preparation method"(Ministry of Health and Welfare No. 1995-15, 95. 3. 15) and "Regulation for review safety and efficacy of drugs. Article 2. 1 Clause 10." should revise "Sasanguihak(四象醫學)" by "Donguisusebowon(東醫壽世保元)" that is the name of book. 2. "Regulation for review safety and efficacy of drugs. Article 2. 1 Clause 10." was defining 'The 11 established formularies of Korean traditional herbal medicine volumes' "Donguisusebowon" that is defined as "The 11 established formularies of Korean traditional herbal medicine volumes" is "Susebowon(壽世保元)" that the Ming period Gong jung-hyun writes. Otherwise, mistake that "Donguisusebowon" of Lee Jema(李濟馬) was recorded 2 times occurs. Therefore, "Susebowon" of "The 11 established formularies of Korean traditional herbal medicine volumes" is that "Susebowon" of the Ming period Gong Jung-hyun writes 3. "yaksungga(藥性歌)" is nonbook in "The 11 established formularies of Korean traditional herbal medicine volumes" and should be erase. Because basis is ambiguous. 4. "The 11 established formularies of Korean traditional herbal medicine volumes" must revise by 10 kinds in "Regulation for about kind of formularies of Korean traditional herbaland preparation method" and "Regulation for review safety and efficacy of drugs. Article 2." The kinds should be revised by "Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑)", "jejungsinpyeon(濟衆新編)", "Euihakipmoon(醫學入門)", "kyungakjeonse(景岳全書)", "Susebowon", "Bonchogangmok(本草鋼目)", "Bangyakhappyeon(方樂合編)", "Hyangyakjipseongbang(鄕樂集成方)", "Gwangjebigeup" and "Donguisusebowon".
