PREFERENTIAL ORIENTATION AND DIELECTRIC/PYROELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF SOL-GEL-DERIVED PB(MG,ZN)1/3NB2/3O3 THIN FILMS

Thin films of Pb(Mg,Zn) 1/3 Nb 2/3 O 3 (PMZN) were fabricated by spin casting the partially hydrolyzed Pb-Mg-Zn-Nb-O complex alkoxide sols on (111) Pt-coated MgO(100) planes. Analysis of the isothermal transformation data indicated that the growth of perovskite grains from the pyrochlore matrix is a diffusion-controlled process with an initial fast nucleation. The effect of water concentration in the sol on the preferential orientation of perovskite grains in the corresponding thin film was examined. A strong preferential orientation of (100) perovskite was obtained in the PMZN thin film derived from the sol having a molar ratio of H 2 O to total metal alkoxides ( R w ) of 2. A small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) experiment in the Porod region indicated that weakly branched precursor systems led to highly (100)-oriented perovskite grains after thin-film formation. The pyroelectric coefficient and the corresponding figure-of-merit were controlled by suitably varying the degree of preferential orientation during the fabrication of thin films.

A Validation Study of the Sasang Constitution Questionnaire for Japanese(SSCQ-J)

A Validation Study of the Sasang Constitution Questionnaire for Japanese(SSCQ-J) Hoon-Seuk Jo, Soo-Hyung Jeon, Jong-Hun Jeong, Kyu-Kon Kim†, Jong-Won Kim Dept. of Korean Medicine, Graduate School, Dong-Eui University Dept. of Sasang Constitutional Medicine, College of Oriental Medicine, Dongeui Univ. †Dept. of Data Information Science, Dongeui Univ. Objectives This study was aimed to validate Sasang Constitution Questionnaire for Japanese (SSCQ-J). Methods Sasang Constitution Questionnaire for Patients (SSCQ-P) was developed by joint researches between the Society of Sasang Constitutional Medicine and Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine. We translated SSCQ-P into Japanese and modified some items of that for Japanese. By getting approval from the Institutional Review Board(IRB)of School of Medicine, Keio University, we conducted a questionnaire survey of patients who visited Oriental Medicine Center from early January until mid-February 2011. The total of 364 patients filled out that Questionnaire and gave an interview with a Sasang constitution specialist. Using this Questionnaire data, we made Sasang constitutional classification functions and calculated diagnostic accuracy rate of SSCQ-J using discrimination analysis. Results 1. Male groups diagnostic accuracy rate of SSCQ-J was 77.01% and female was 78.10%. 2. Diagnostic accuracy of SSCQ-J was a little higher than SSCQ-P Conclusions 1. SSCQ-J can be considered to have good discriminant power compared with SSCQ-P 2. Further research with SSCQ-J will be helpful in the comparison study on the usual symptoms between Korean and Japanese as well as development of good discriminant function.

A Comparative Study on Responses to the Sasang Constitution Questionnaire for Patients between Korean and Japanese

Abstract A Comparative Study on Responses to the Sasang Constitution Questionnaire for Patients between Korean and Japanese Dong-Hoon Ryu, Jong-Hoon Jeong, U-Yeol Bae ∗ , Kyu-Kon Kim † , Soo-Hyung Jeon, Jong-Won KimDept. of Sasang Constitutional Medicine, College of Koreanl Medicine, Dongeui Univ. ∗ Dept. of Oriental Rehabilitation, College of Korean Medicine, Dongeui Univ. † Dept. of Information Statistics, Dongeui Univ.ObjectivesThis study was performed to compare responses of Korean to the Sasang Constitution questionnaire with those of Japanese and to learn difference in characteristic according to the Sasang Constitution between two countries.Methods301 Korean visiting the department of the Sasang Constitution, Dong-Eui Medical Center in Busan, Korea from November 2006 to September 2010 responded to the SSCQ-P(Sasang Constitution Questionnaire for Patients). Sasang Constitution specialist interviewed subjects and diagnosed their Sasang Constitution. 361 Japanese visitingthe center for Kampo Medicine, Keio University in Tokyo, Japan from January 2010 to February 2011 respondedthe SSCQ-J(Sasang Constitution Questionnaire for Japanese). The Sasang Constitution was diagnosed in the same way as Korean. We compare responses to the SSCQ-P in Korean with those to the SSCQ-J in Japanese.Results1. Among Soyangin related 58 items of Sasang Constitution questionnaire, 26, 46.36% items had statistically significant response results in both Korean and Japanese and response disposition of all these items was same.Among Taeeumin related 68items, 36, 52.94% items had statistically significant response results in both Koreanand Japanese. Of these, response disposition of 35 items was same and that of 1 item was different. Among Soeumin related 71 items, 31, 43.66% items had statistically significant response results in both Korean and Japanese. Of these, response disposition of 28 items was same and that of 3 items was different.2. The proportion of items having statistical significance and same disposition in both Korean and Japanese by Sasang Constitutional characteristic category[Features and Way of Speaking, Physical Appearance, Temperament and Talent, Pathological Syndromes] was as follows; In Soyangin, the proportion in Pathological Syndromes was 27.8% and that in the others was more than 41.7%.In Taeeumin, the proportion in Pathological Syndromes was 33.3% and that in the others was more than 57.9%. In Soeumin, the proportion in Features and Way of Speaking was 70.6%, that in Physical Appearance was 8.3% and that in the others was 30∼40%.

Dept. of Information Statistics, Dong-eui Univ. Dept. of Sasang Constitutional Medicine, Korean Medical Hospital of Dong-eui Univ. Objective We researched to analyze correlation between menstrual pain and Korean medical diagnosis – Sasang constitution and Pattern Identification through clinical research of the patients of menstrual pain. Method Trial gruop who consists of women with menstrual pain is 193 people, and control group who consists of women without menstrual pain is 101 people. We producted analyzing of their Sasang Constitution and symptom with Diagnosis System of Oriental Medicine(DSOM). This study used chi-square test, two sample t-test, analysis of variance, Wilcoxon’s rank sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test, correlation analysis. Results 1) In trial and control group, Soeumin was the largest and Soyangin was the least. There was’nt statistical significance between trial and control group. 2) In DSOM, deficiency of blood, stagnation of qi, blood stasis, coolness, spleen, kidney and phlegm pathogenic factors showed significant difference. Conclusion There were significant corelation between menstrual pain and Korean mdical diagnosis – Sasang constitution and Pattern Identification.

Abstract Hematologic Characteristics of Stroke Inpatients according to Sasang Constitution in One Korean Medicine Hospital Soo-Hyung Jeon, Jong-Won Kim, Dong-Hoon Ryu, Kyu-Kon Kim ∗ , and Yong-Tae Lee † Dept. of Sasang Constitutional Medicine, College of Oriental Medicine, Dongeui Univ. ∗ Dept. of Data Information Science, Dongeui Univ., † Dept. of Physiology, College of Oriental Medicine, Dongeui Univ.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to know hematologic characteristics of patients with stroke in Sasang ConstitutionalMedicine which will be helpful for the prevention and treatment of strokeMethodsWe collected data from 111 patients who received treatment as a stroke inpatient at one Korean medicine hospital in Busan, Korea. A Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM) specialist diagnosed their Sasang Constitutional types based on the four diagnosis standard of SCM and herbal medicine reaction. Results of hematologic tests were classified according to gender, age, stroke types and Sasang Constitutional types and analysed by SAS system. Results1. Males mean value of RBC count, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit was lower than normal range. 2. The mean value of hsCRP of above age 65 group was 3.19 times significantly higher than under age 65 group.3. The mean value of platelet of cerebral hemorrhage group was significantly higher than cerebral infarction group.4. The mean value of triglyceride of Taeeumin was significantly higher than Soyangin and Soeumin.Conclusions For the prevention of stroke, appropriate treatment of stress, trauma and infections is needed and male require a regular and balanced meals. Especially Taeeumin need to eat small meals to avoid excessive accumulation of energyKey Words: Stroke, Hematologic Tests, Triglycerides
