Many of newly emerging diseases such as hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, and atoptic dermatities are categorized into "Fire heat-disease(火熱病)" according to oriental medicine. It is because factors such as stress, overeating, and high fat diet are major causes of heat in the human body. Sun Yi-Kui(孫一奎), a well-known oriental medical doctor during Ming Dynasty's "Jia Jing Wan Li Nian Jian"(嘉靖萬歷年間 : A.D $1522^{\sim}1619$), established new theories on "Fire heat-disease-mechanism(火熱病機)". This study aims to investigate Dr. Sun's "Fire heat-disease-mechanism(火熱病機)"theory. For this purpose, I thoroughly examined the concepts of "Dong-Qj(動氣)", "Ming-Men(命門)", king fire(君火) and minister fire(相火) as well as pathological theory on "Fire heat(火熱)". In addition, I compared Sun's theory with those of Li Dong-yuan and Zhu dan-Xi.

Objective: In oriental medicine, development of new formulations has been demanded. But, there are few reports about the improvement of formulations of herbal medicine in Korea. Nowadays soft Ex has been exploited and used comparing with retort pouch. This study was designed to study on preference on TongBiEum(通痺飮)/GunYoEum(健腰飮) and to investigate which OMD(oriental medical doctor) and non-OMD prefer soft Ex or retort pouch. Methods: As pilot study we administerd TongBiEum(通痺飮) once to 30 persons who serviced Gumi Oriental Medical hospital, Daegu Haany University from April 1, 2003 to April 10, 2003. And then we administerd GunYoEum(健腰飮) once to final test group(73 persons) who serviced Daegu, Gumi, Pohang Oriental Medical hospital, Daegu Haany University from April 20, 2003 to May 10, 2003. We made up questionaires about feeling during and after taking medicine, convenience and preference ect. Results: Convenience and preference of soft Ex is significantly different between OMD and non-OMD and in age bracket, but there is no significance between men and women group. Portable state of soft Ex is very convenient, dose of soft Ex is a little amount, color of soft Ex is regular in OMD & non-OMD, men & Women and an age bracket. Conclusions: From above study it was revealed that preference of herbal medicine formulations was significantly different between OMD and non-OMD.

Objectives : Standardization of pattern identification for stroke and development of a diagnostic tool for Korean medicine. Methods : We organized a committee for stroke diagnosis standardization of Korean traditional medicine and submitted the Korean standard differentiation of the symptoms and signs for stroke (KSDSS). We collected cases through a multi-center network consisting of twelve university hospitals and one local hospital. We analyzed the data with discriminant function and logistic regression. Results : 321 cases were confirmed by diagnosis of medical specialists and residents. They were divided into qi deficiency 30.84%, dampness & phlegm 25.55%, fire & heat 22.43%, eum deficiency 18.69% and blood stasis 2.49%. The accordance rate between discriminant function and doctor's diagnosis was calculated. Conclusions : To make a stroke diagnostic program, we must raise the accordance rate between doctor's diagnosis and the program.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the attitude toward the oriental hospital among 1,234 outpatients. Methods: A questionnaire about the general characteristics of patients, the decision-maker of use and the reason of choice or alteration was implemented. Results: The results of this survey as follows: Among outpatients 56.4 % were female in sex, 25.6 % were below 9 years of age; in educational level, 50.1 % were college graduates. Among outpatients, 33.6% chose the oriental hospital as their first choice and the rest were recommended by other persons. The recommenders were mostly relatives(73.9 %), female(73.4 %), young(30-39 years old, 40.1 %), high educational level (above the college, 54.9 %) people. 37.8 % among outpatients were secondary selection after the western medical clinic for the same symptom and sign. 7.0 % were the concomitant users of both therapies. 62.8 % among the concomitant users did not notify the western doctor about the dual therapies. The reasons they did not notify their Western doctors were 'be afraid of western doctor s bias' (42.6 %), 'no special reason' (29.6 %).

Objectives: Using algometer, measure the pressure pain threshold (PPT) of the epigastric pain(心下痞硬) and calculate the cut-off value, and this can serve as the basis for prognostic diagnosis of functional dyspepsia so we would like to evaluate its diagnostic value. Methods: We investigated 353 patients with functional dyspepsia symptoms who admitted Gangnam Weedahm Oriental Hospital from February 1, 2021 to February 27, 2021. At the time of the patient's visit, an oriental medical doctor measured the pressure at the first pain point on the Algometer of (CV14), twice each, at 1minute intervals. The ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve and the optimal cut-off value derived through the diagnosis of the (CV14) PPT value for epigastric pain(心下痞硬) and the gold standard of oriental medical doctor, it was evaluated through. Results: In 353 patients, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.909 (p=0). In addition, the optimal cutting value was 10.05 (kg/cm2), which was statistically significant. Additionally, the sensitivity of the Algometer's PPT measurement was 0.704 and the specificity was 0.884. As a result, if the PPT value of the Algometer exceeds 10.05 (kg/cm²) in terms of the optimal cutting value, it can be seen that epigastric pain(心下痞硬) is lost. Conclusion: Algometer's PPT value measurement can be a reliable test method for quantification of epigastric pain(心下痞硬) diagnosis and can be useful as an objective indicator.
