There are many ways to detect the heart rate non-invasively such as ECG, PPG, strain gauge, and pressure sensor. In this paper, the pulse wave measurement system using bipolar biased head on mode of the Hall sensor is proposed for measuring the radial artery pulse. TMS320F2812 was used to implement the proposed system and a portable wireless network(zig-bee) was used to show the experimental result. It was confirmed from experiment that the performance of the implemented system was more stable and faster than PPG sensor or piezoelectric film pressure sensor.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the effects of acupuncture stimulation on the radial artery's pressure pulse wave, along with various hemodynamic parameters, and to explore the possible underlying mechanism of pulse diagnosis in healthy participants in their twenties. Methods and analysis: This study is a prospective, single-arm, exploratory clinical study. A total of 25 healthy participants, without regard to gender, in their twenties will be recruited by physicians. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. The participants will receive acupuncture once at ST36 on both sides. The radial arterial pulse waves will be measured on the left arm of the subjects by using an applicable pulse tonometric device (KIOM-PAS). On the right arm (appearing twice), electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), respiration and cardiac output (CO) signals, will be measured using a physiological data acquisition system (Biopac module), while the velocity of blood flow, and the diameter and the depth of the blood vessel will be measured using an ultrasonogram machine on the right arm (appearing twice). All measurements will be conducted before, during, and after acupuncture. The primary outcome will be the spectral energy at high frequencies above 10 Hz ($SE_{10-30Hz}$) calculated from the KIOM-PAS device signal. Secondary outcomes will be various variables obtained from the KIOM-PAS device, ECG, PPG, impedance cardiography modules, and an ultrasonogram machine. Discussion: The results of this trial will provide information regarding the physiological and the hemodynamic mechanisms underlying acupuncture stimulation and clinical evidence for the influence of acupuncture on the pressure pulse wave in the radial artery. Ethics and dissemination: This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Kyung Hee University's Oriental Medical Center, Seoul, Korea (KOMCIRB-150818-HR-030). The study findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences. Trial registration number: This trial was registered with the Clinical Research Information Service (CRIS) at the Korea National Institute of Health (NIH), Republic of Korea (KCT0001663), which is a registry in the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Registry Network.

This is a report of three cases of successful embolectomy in peripheral arteries. First case was the patient who received a mitral commissurotomy 8 months ago. In that time, there was no evidence of left atrial thrombosis. He showed an embolism in the middle portion of left brachial artery without complaining of any ischemic pain. Embolectomy was performed 15 days after disappearance of radial pulse and resulted in no return of radial pulse postoperatively. Second case was a case of an embolism in lower portion of right brachial artery. She complained severe ischemic pain and cyanosis in the right forearm and fingers. She was also in the beginning state of cardiac failure, which was suspected from her hypertension associated with cardiomegaly and arrythmia Embolectomy was performed 17 hours after onset of acute pain. Immediate full pulsation of radial artery was obtained after embolectomy and the acute ischemic symptoms subsided gradually. Third case was an embolism in superior mesenteric artery which occured 24 hours after pneumonectomy for right bronchogenic carcinoma and the patient suddenly complained diffuse abdominal colicky pain. 7 hours after attack of abdominal pain. embolectomy with extensive reset ion of the small intestine was performed with uneventful recovery and without complication, such as short bowel syndrome, postoperatively. Histopathologically, the embolus was consisted of a tissue of anaplastic cell carcinoma, which was identical to the tumor of the resected right lung. Histological findings of other emboli of first and second case were old thrombus.

Objectives : Recently, people who have normal brachial blood pressure(BP) are being threatened by high-risk disease such as stroke. The aim of this study is to suggest that new method to assess systemic circulation. It can be performed by analyzing optimal blood pulse wave on 3 sites belonging to subjects that have normal BP. Methods : We respectively extracted main peaks(h1) of optimal blood pulse wave on left/right temporal artery(LR1=h1), radial artery(LR2=h1) and dorsalis pedis artery(LR3=h1). We obtained h1 from 30 subjects who are discreetly chosen and have normal BP. Main peak(h1) can be extracted by using 3D pulse imaging analyser(DMP-1000+, DAEYOMEDI Co., Korea) that has 5-level pressure method. We analyzed the ratio of [LR1/LR2] and [LR3/LR2]. Results : In the case of male group, the results are [LR1/LR2=0.7100.177] and [LR3/LR2=0.9290.317]. In the case of female group, the results are [LR1/LR2=0.6680.121] and [LR3/LR2=0.7050.195]. Especially, it is statistically verified that the result of ratio [LR3/LR2] is much higher in male group than in female group(p<0.05). Conclusions : We suggested the standard ratio of [LR1/LR2] and [LR3/LR2] for normal subjects, respectively. It can be adopted as a new method to evaluate the systemic circulation.

본 연구에서는 비침습적으로 압력 맥파를 검출하는 토노메트리 방식의 맥파 측정 장비인 SphygmoCor(AtCor, Australia)를 사용하여 측정자세에 따라 맥파를 측정하였다. 측정 결과를 통해 선 자세, 앉은 자세, 누운 자세에 따른 맥파의 분석 지표들의 변화를 분석하였다. 또한 측정된 데이터를 저혈압군, 정상혈압군, 고혈압군으로 구분하여 혈압군에 따른 맥파의 비교를 수행하였다. 그 결과 자세에 따른 요골동맥의 파형에서 유의차를 보인 분석지표는 맥파의 진폭에 해당되는 압력 보다 주요 피크가 발생되는 시간에서 나타났다. 맥압의 경우 맥파증대계수(AI)나 중심동맥압과 요골동맥압의 비율과 같이 맥압 간의 비율이 자세에 따른 변별력이 있었다. 사후검정에 따라 각 자세별로 상호 간에 모두 유의한 차이를 보인 분석지표는 주파(P_$T_1$)와 반사파(P_$T_2$)의 시간, 심박출지속시간(ED), 심박수(HR)로 나타났다. 혈압군에 대한 비교에서 대부분 맥파의 시간에 해당되는 지표보다 주요 피크의 진폭에 해당되는 맥파의 압력을 나타내는 지표가 혈압군에 따른 유의차를 보였다.

The acupuncture procedures in Hwangjenaekyung (黃帝內經) was different to modern ones in many aspects. Especially, the role of pulse diagnosis in acupuncture was totally different and the pulse diagnosis was essential part in acupuncture therapy in Hwangjenaekyung era. We found four noteworthy features on the pulse diagnosis before and after acupuncture in Hwangjenaekyung : (1) Pulse diagnosis was a mandatory process in acupuncture (2) Doctors who used pulse diagnosis in 12 meridians (十二經脈遍診脈法), pulse diagnosis in 9 points of 3 body parts (三部九候脈法), and comparative pulse diagnosis between radial artery and carotid artery (人迎寸口對比脈法) followed the former rule ((1)). (3) The major pulse features to detect before and after acupuncture were conversion between the vacuous pulse (虛脈) and the replete pulse (實脈), and conversion between slippery pulse (滑脈) and rough pulse (澁脈). (4) Deukki (得氣, Deqi) was synonym of Kiji (氣至), and it referred to the changes of arterial pulse, not the sensation followed by acupuncture manipulation.
