Objectives : The purpose of this study is to develop the method of selecting representative pulse wave. Methods : The pulse waves were acquired at the right and the left Guan point(關部) with 1420 people who were apparently healthy. The shape agreement of right and left pulse wave and the floating-sinking ratio were compared with three cases, which were the pulse height based method, the pulse area based method, and the pulse time based method. Results : In the point of the shape accordance, the pulse time based method was the best, and the pulse area based method was the worst. In the point of the floating-sinking ratio, the pulse height based method was the worst, and the pulse time based method was the best. Conclusions : So, the pulse time based method was recommended for selecting the representative pulse wave. This study compared the selection methods of representative pulse using the physiological characteristics of pulse wave. Further studies are required, because the representative pulse wave is the main factor of determining the shape and the floating-sinking characteristic of the pulse wave.

The period and strength of the pulse on the radial artery are important physiological factors, and they have been used to diagnosis in both Western and Eastern countries for a long time and has been developed as a unique method of diagnosis at each countries. Recently, there are a lot of systems which can give diagnosis information by recording the pulse wave and analyzing the characteristics of the pulse shape. This study describes the Pulse-Wave Measurement System which is able to measure the pulse wave signal using piezoresistive sensor and the pulse wave signal measured by the developed system is transmitted to a computer on the basis of the USB Driver. It has finally shown the the pulse wave signal measured by the sender is appeared to the host PC in real time. The Pulse-Wave Measurement System used the piezoresistive sensor to measure the pulse wave signal and the differential amplifier(AD620) to amplify the pulse wave signal which is small signal. And it used the ADC to convert analog to digital for the measured analog signal and the interface with a computer. It transmitted the measured pulse signal through USB transmission module to the host computer and Labview tool shows it. This Pulse-Wave measurement system will afford comvenience of detecting pulse wave to user related to oriental medicine.

In this paper, we propose a novel sensor system for measuring the arterial pulse in an oral cavity. In order to measure pulse wave in oral cavity, the proposed system is designed with reflection type arterial wave sensor, not by using transmission type arterial pulse wave sensor. Driving circuit through pulse current is designed for solving self-heating problem of LED. The effectiveness of the proposed sensor system is compared with pulse wave between pulse wave of oral cavity and other body parts as well as with characteristic measurements. The experiment shows that the proposed sensor system is adaptive to capturing consecutive and meaningful biometric signals through the variation of pulse wave changes in oral cavity when exercising. The study result expects to design and develop mobile sensors which could be adapted to healthcare devices.

In early 1970s, Electronic Manometers were researched and developed for modernization and objectification of pulse diagnosis. Method of finger pressing, also known as cuffs pressing, is essential for sensing a pulse wave. I think comprehension and deduction of problem from the existing Hi-soo type electronic manometer, will be important for making a better one. The Hi-soo type electronic manometer is constructed of cuff pressing type sensor, differential amplifier, transmitter and recorder. Pulse movement and pulse wave, gauging blood flow, is analyzed by pulse image of "Yixuerumen(醫學入門)". At standard of pulse wave, huanmai(緩脈) is distinguish from chishu(slow and fast, 遲數), fushen(float and sink, 浮沈), interference wave, modificated wave, and phase angel. The Hi-soo type electronic manometer had no explanation of formational mechanism, significantly different with pulse wave which is early known and reported. The strength of Hi-soo type electric manometer is use of cuff pressing type sensor. Above all, the importance of electric manometer is reading the pulse movement accurately then expressing it as pulse wave. From now on the improvement of precise sensor should make a progress.

Pulse diagnosis is one of the typical examination methods in traditional oriental medicine. However, it is necessary to obtain the objectivity for the standardization of this diagnosis. For this purpose, the pulse analyzer has been devised and studied, and the tonometric pulse analyzer displaying the pulse wave and its variables was developed recently. In this study, we investigated the effect of the sexuality of the individuals on the differences of the pulse wave as well as the correlation between the weight and the pulse wave to interrogate whether the pulse difference is not caused by the difference of sex but the size of individual.

Objectives This study is designed to examine the relationship between healthy state (完實無病) of Sasang constitution and pulse wave (脈波). Methods The subjects were 100 patients who were diagnosed with Sasang constitution and underwent pulse analyzer test. The status of urination, defecation, perspiration, and digestion was classified as good, intermediate, and poor. The power, depth, speed, and roughness of pulse waves (脈波) were analyzed. Results Patients with poor digestion had relatively powerless pulse wave (無力脈). Soeumin patients had a higher rate of poor digestion compared to other constitutions. Soyangin patients had a higher rate of poor perspiration compared to other constitutions. Soyangin with poor defecation had relatively choppy pulse wave (澁脈), and poor perspiraton had relatively slippery (滑脈). Soeumin patients with poor digestion had relatively powerless pulse wave (無力脈). Conclusions The pulse wave of poor healthy state (完實無病) is an expression of a pathological syndromes (病證) caused by lack of or damage to healthy energy (保命之主). It was concluded that the pulse analyzer can be used to evaluate healthy state (完實無病).

Pulse is one of the basic diagnostic information of TKM(Traditional Korean Medicine). To quantify and standardize pulse diagnosis, we had collected an amount of clinical data from May 2005 by using newly developed pulse analyzer. But there were many noises in pulse wave according to measuring method, environment, operator and condition of patient. So some data can’t be included for analyzing diagnosis. To reduce noises from measuring pulse and to collect reliable pulse wave data, we made the process map of measuring method and applied six sigma project. With this we can improved the method of measuring pulse wave in collecting clinical data. The project follows a disciplined process of five macro phases: define, measure, analyze, improve and control (DMAIC). A process map and C-E diagram are used to identify process input and output variables. The major input variables are selected by using C&E matrix, and process map is developed by analyzing input variables. And the optimum process conditions are going to be controled to avoid in increasing loss of collecting pulse wave data.

동양 의학에서는 맥파를 분석해서 많은 질병을 분류하고 치료하고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 맥파를 분석하는 방법은 매우 주관적인 방법을 사용하기 때문에 신뢰도가 떨어지는 문제점이 발생한다. 뿐만 아니라, 기존 맥진기의 문제점으로는 요골동맥에 정확하게 맥진 센서가 위치하지 못하기 때문에 측정 위치에 따라 측정결과가 상이하고 측정절차에 매우 민감하여 높은 재현성을 실현 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 홀센서를 이용한 휴대용 맥진기를 이용해서 실맥 및 허맥을 분석 하는 연구 결과를 제안하였다. SPSS 통계 기법으로 분석한 실맥 및 허맥 최종 분석결과, 95% 신뢰도 구간에서 N.time(절흔점 시간) 및 S.amp (상승파형 크기) 평균치가 유의성이 있음을 입증하였다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and the features of metabolic syndrome, and differences according to sex in patients diagnosed cerebral infarction. The study group comprised 61 patients over age 30 who were diagnosed cerebral infarction, accompanied with metabolic syndrome. The brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, blood pressure, lipid profiles, fasting blood glucose, body mass index were measured. Also we checked past history of patients. Then we analyzed the association between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and the features of metabolic syndrome. Pearson correlation analysis reflected the variables affecting the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity as follows : Age, SBP(systolic blood pressure), DBP(diastolic blood pressure), FBS(fasting blood glucose) were positively correlated. As a result of regression analysis, in patients with cerebral infarction accompanied with metabolic syndrome, the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is affected by age to men, SBP, FBS, DBP to women. The brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is not affected by the components of metabolic syndrome, except blood pressure, FBS, in patients with ischemic stroke.
