Objectives : Uterine myoma is the most common pelvic benign tumor and may cause abnormal menstrual pattern. The growth of uterine myoma depends on hormones. The 7-zone-diagnostic system (CP-6000A) is a measuring system using skin resistance variability (SRV). The machine shows organic energy and was reported by the gynecologic department to detect functional abnormality of hypothalamus-hypophysis-ovarian axis (H-P-O). Our study was to investigate the SRV of women with uterine myoma by the 7-zone diagnostic system. Methods: Two groups were selected from those who took the CP-6000A test in the College of Korean Medicine Hospital of Sangji University from March 2003 to September 2006. They were divided into normal control (n=40) and uterine myoma groups (n=40). Electrodermal activity of the two groups was compared. Results : The mean value of electrodermal activity of the uterine myoma group was lower than that of thenormal group in all areas on first and second measurement. Especially, the mean value of the patient group was significantly lower than that of the normal group and fell below normal range in the 1, 2, and 3 areas on first and second measurement. Conclusions : The results suggest that women with uterine myoma may have organic energy deficiency and functional abnormality of the H-P-O axis. Further studies to determine the feasibility of this 7 -zone diagnostic system as a reliable diagnostic tool are needed.

Purpose : Skin Resistance Variability(SRV) is a kind of biofunctional signal, and it can show the function of autonomic nervous system, especially in the sympathetic nerve. The objective of this study is to find out the differences of SRV of reproductive women with aging. Method : We measured SRV(by CP-6000A) of 151 women who visited Gynecologic Clinic. And the results were classified according to age, by five groups. After detection of SRV, we performed correlation analysis and ANOVA by SPSS 12.0. Results : 1. The SRV was measured twice. It resulted in seven areas. In 1, 2, 3 areas, the second results were higher than first results in every groups. In 4, 5, 6, 7 areas, the first results were higher than second results in every groups. 2. The SRV of lower part (4, 5, 6, 7 area) on the body was higher than that of higher part (1, 2, 3 area). 3. The SRV in the youngest group was higher than the oldest group in 1, 2, 3 area of second trial. Conclusion : With relations to the standardization and objectification of oriental medicine, we expect that these results contribute to gynecologic clinic in the department of diagnosis of functional abnormality of hypothalamus-hypophysis-ovarian axis (H-P-O axis).
