1. Objectives Functional medicine is a system which utilizes certain Investigative and treatment methods that are primarily oriented toward the recognition of functional disorder. The 7-zone-diagnostic system(VEGA-DFM722 and ABR-2000, etc) is a diagnostic device which applies pulse signals to predetermined bodily locations. We think that we can discriminate between Soeumin, Soyangin and Taeumin with this system. 2. Methods The subject of our study is no disease men and women who are decided the same constitution both survey of the QSCC II and diagnosis of specialist of the Sasang Constitution. All subject are 76(Soeumin(N=24), Soyangin(N=17), Taeumin(N=35)) cases. We make an analysis of a distinctive feature on the result of the VEGA-DFM722. 3. Results and Conclusions 1) Soeumin or Taeumin women had that the red bar graphs of and 1, 2 and 3 are lower than the red bar graphs of zone 4, 5, 6 and 7 in factor AA on the result of the VEGA-DFM722 with the naked eye. Soyangin or Taeumin men had that the red bar graphs of zone 1,2 and 3 are higher than the red bar graphs of tone 4, 5, 6 and 7 in factor AA on the result of the VEGA-DFM722 with the naked eye. 2) The typical discrimination between Soeumin and Soyangin showed statistical significance(p<0.05) in Factor PF 4(red bar) on the result of VEGA-DFM722.

Functional medicine is a system which utilizes certain investigative and treatment methods that are primarily oriented toward the recognition of functional disorder. Functional disorders take place on an energetic plane. This plane is not capturable using our regular investigatory techniques, such as X -ray. ultrasound, computer tomography and laboratory analyses. The 7-zone-diagnostic system(VEGA-DFM 722 and ABR-2000, etc) is a diagnostic device Which applies pulse signals to predetermined bodily locations. Applying alternating positive and negative stress to tissues with positive and negative pulses first manifests itself as negative and positive wave forms. The skin has many functions as an organ. It is the organism's interlace with the outsider world. Hence, the manner in which the skin reacts to external stimuli reflects the current state of the organism(as meridian systems). This system make a diagnosis of functional disorder or some typical organic diseases include stress of the mind or the body, and the energetic situation, reserves. We are known a disorder or disease throw the result chart. This result chart contain disorder flow wave forms and some valuable diagnostic hints (letters ; S, OM, RA, etc). In spite of this 7-zone-diagnostic system that is applied plentifully in the clinical application, there is not a statistics which is suitable. Therefor we must carry out many various research in the future.

Objectives : The 7-zone-diagnostic system is a diagnostic device to predetermine bodily locations by measuring the energy of body. This study was to investigate the relation between the different patterns of Zone 2, 6 of Factor AA in VEGA DFM 722(VEGA, Germany), 7-zone-diagnostic system and clinical parameters. The purpose of this study was relation Korean traditional medicine and western medicine with the data from 7-zone-diagnostic system and the clinical parameters. Methods : This study was carried out with the data from some clinical parameters. We made two groups according to the Factor AA patterns of VEGA DFM 722. The Factor AA pattern of Group A is that the red bar graph of zone 2 was higher than the normal range and the red bar graph of zone 6 was lower than the normal range. The Factor AA pattern of Group B was that the red bar graph of zone 2 was lower than the normal range and the red bar graph of zone 6 was higher than the normal range. After the data from clinical parameters to correspond with conditions of each group were selected, the data from clinical parameters between each gropus analyzed statistically. Results and Conclusions : The values of Direct Bilirubin, GOT, BUN and BUN/Creatinine ratio of Group A were higher than them of Group B. The values of Sodium and Tyroxine of Group A were lower than them of Group B. These results mean that Group A has low energy but has increading tendency. To conclude, it is thought that the red bar graph of zone 2 is higher, the group is the more increasing and the red bar graph of zone 6 is lower, the group has the lower energy.

Purpose: This research was designed to study that VEGA DFM 722 is proper index in postpartum women. Methods: The subjects were 81 postpartum women who admitted for postpartum care in Oriental Hospital of Woosuk University from 20, May 2005 to 28, October 2005 and 83 general women who taken Medical Health Examination from 29, January 2005 to 22, July 2006. The women took the test of VEGA DFM 722 and CBC. The SPSS 12.0 for windows was used to analyse the data and the independent samples t-test and paired samples t-test were used to verify the results. Results: The following results were obtained 1. The heights of zone 1, 2, 3 of postpartum women group significantly higher than that of general women group. The height of zone 6 of postpartum women group significantly higher than that of general women group. But, there were no significant differences in the heights of zone 4, 5, 7. 2. The heights of zone 1, 2, 3 of second test significantly lower than that of first test in postpartum women. But, there were no significant differences in the heights of zone 4, 5, 6, 7. Conclusion: The results suggest that postpartum women has upper heat and lower cold compared with general women. And after oriental postpartum care, disparity in upper heat and lower cold was decreased in postpartum women.

Objectives : The 7-zonediagnostic system is a diagnostic device to predetermine bodily locations by measuring the energy of body. This study was to investigate the relation between the different patterns of Zone 4 of Factor AA in VEGA DFM 722 (VEGA, Germany), 7-zone-diagnositic system and heart rate variability. Methods : We made three groups according to the Factor AA patterns of VEGA DFM 722. The Factor AA pattern of Group A is that the red bar graph of zone 4 was higher than the normal range. The Factor AA patterns of Group B was that the red bar graph of zone 4 was located at the normal range. The Factor AA patterns of Group C was that the red bar graph of zone 4 was lower than the normal range. We investigated how to difference of the index of heart rate variability(HRV, LX-3202, LAXTHA, Korea) according to each groups. Results : Complexity, HRV-index, RMSSD, SDSD values of Group B were higher than other Groups. pNN50 values of Group B were lower than other groups. And Ln(TP), Ln(VLF), Ln(LF), Ln(HF) values of Group B were higher than other groups. Conclusions : We presumed that Group B was healthier than other groups for the stress.

The 7-zone-diagnostic system(ABR-2000, BIO MEDIC 700Plus, CP-6000A, OMD 3000, VEGA-DFM 722) is a diagnostic device which applies pulse signals to predetermined bodily locations. Applying alternating positive and negative stress to tissues with positive and negative pulses first manifests itself as negative and positive wave forms. This system make a diagnosis of functional disorder or some typical organic diseases include stress of the mind or the body, and the energetic situation, reserves. We are known a disorder or disease throw the result charts. And these result represents various characteristic signals are assisted diagnosis and care. These result chart contains disorder flow wave forms and some valuable diagnostic hints or marks. But we have several various products for the 7-zone-diagnostic system. I think that we need the comparative analysis of the general rule and the decipher for each equipment. Because these letters(marks) each product are different, we necessary various plentiful research and suitable statistics in these points. And we must carry out many various research in the future.

Objectives : The aim of our study was to demonstrate the clinical application of a diagnosis relating the 7-zone-diagnostic system and heart rate variability. Materials and Methods : Subjects were divided into two groups according to the factor AA form of the 7-zone-diagnostic system(VEGA-DFM722, VEGA, Germany). Subjects in group A showed a factor-AA red bar graph in which zone 2 was higher than the normal range, and zone 6 was lower than the normal range. Subjects in group B showed a factor-AA red bar graph in which zone 2 was lower than the normal range, and zone 6 was higher than the normal range. We investigated how to differentiate the index of heart-rate variability(HRV, LX-3202, LAXTHA, Korea) for each group. We did independent sample t-tests and evaluated the results of the HRV at the 5% significance level using SPSS 10.0 for Windows. Results : The differences of the MeanRR, MeanHRV, SDNN, complexity, HRV-index, RMSSD, SDSD, and pNN50 values between the groups was not significant. The differences of the Ln(TP), Ln(VLF), Ln(HF), LF/(LF+HF), LF/HF, norm LF, and norm HF values between the groups was also not significant. The differences were not significant, but generally the values of SDNN, complexity, RMSSD, SDSD, Ln(VLF), Ln(HF) and norm LF for group B were higher than those for group A, and the values of pNN50 and norm HF for group B were lower than those for group A. Conclusions : This study suggests that differences in the HRV values between the groups was not significant, but group B has a tendency to be healthier than group A because of stress. Accordingly, further study will be required.
