The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

The initial events required for periodontal regeneration is the attachment, spreading, and proliferation of appropriated cells at the healing sites. These have been reported that minocycline stimulates the attachment of periodontal ligament cells, and also $TGF-{\beta}1$ enhances the proliferation of periodontal ligament cells. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of $TGF-{\beta}1$ on the cellular activity of minocycline treated human periodontal ligament cells. Periodontal ligament cells were obtained from the explants of healthy periodontal ligaments of extracted 3rd molars or premolar teeth extracted from the patients for orthodontic treatment. The cells were cultured in minimal essential medium(${\alpha}-MEM$) supplemented with 10.000units/ml penicillin, $10,000{\mu}g/ml$ streptomycin and 10% FBS(fetal bovine serum) at $37^{\circ}C$ in a humidified atmosphere of 5% carbon dioxide and the 5th to the 8th passages of the cells were used. To evaluate the effect of minocycline on cell attachment, the cells were seeded at a cell density of $1.5{\times}10^4$ cells/well in 24-well culture plates and treated with $20{\mu}g/ml$ and $100{\mu}g/ml$ of minocycline for 1.5 h. After trypsinization, the cells were counted with hemocytometer and were taken photographs for observation of cellular morphology. To evaluate the effect of $TGF-{\beta}1$ on minocycline-pretreated periodontal ligament cells, the cells were seeded at a cell density of $1{\times}10^4$ cells/ well in 24-well culture plates and treated with $20{\mu}g/ml$ and $100{\mu}g/ml$ of minocycline for 1.5 h. After incubation, 1 and 10ng/ml of $rh-TGF-{\beta}1$ were also added to the each well and incubated for 1 and 2 days, respectively. Then, MTT assay, DNA synthesis($^3H-thymidine\;assay$), and protein and collagen assay(3H-proline assay) were carried out. In the MIT assay, after 200ul MTT solutionlconeentration of 5mg/ml) were added to the each well of the 24-well plates and incubated for 3 hours, and 200 ul DMSO were added so as to dissolve insoluble blue formazan crystals which was formed in incubated period. Then it read plates on a ELISA reader. For mitogenic assay, 1 uCi/ml $^3H-thymidine$ was added to each well for the final 2 hours of the incubation periods. After labeling, the wells were washed 3 times with ice cold PBS and 4 times with 5% TCA to remove unincorporated label and precipitate the cellular DNA. DNA, with the incorporated $^3H-thymidine$, was solubilized with 500 ul of 0.1% NaOH/0.1% SDS. A 250 ul aliquot was removed from each well and placed in a scintillation vial with 4ml of scintillation cocktail. Using an liguid scintillation counter, counts per minute(CPM) were determined for each samples. 3 uCi/ml $^3H-proline$ was added to each well for the final 4 hours of the incubation periods and total protein and percent collagen synthesis were carried out. The results indicate that minocycline treated group with $100{\mu}g/ml$ concentration for 1.5 hours significantly increased than that of control in cell attachment, and cell process is also evident compared with that of control in cell morphology, and the cellular activity and DNA synthesis rate of cells treated minocycline and $TGF-{\beta}1$ significantly increased than that of control values, but were below to values of the $TGF-{\beta}1$ only treated group in MIT assay and $^3H-thymidine\;assay$, and the total protein synthesis of minocycline and $TGF-{\beta}1$ treated group also significantly increased than that of control values, but the percent collagen synthesis of tested group significantly decreased to compared with control. On the above the findings, the tested group of minocycline and $TGF-{\beta}1$ did not increase the effect on the cell activity than $TGF-{\beta}1$ only tested group and the tested group of minocycline inhibited cell activity. This results indicate that minocycline was effective on cell attachment in early stage, but it is harmful to cell activity, that inhibitory effect of minocycline was compensated with stimulatory effect of $TGF-{\beta}1$.

갈색지방세포(Brown fat 또는 Brown Adipose Tissue, BAT)는 포도당 대사(glucose metabolism)와 비오한성 열생성(non-shivering thermogenesis)을 통하여 열을 발산하여 추위로부터 생명체를 보호한다. BAT의 활성화는 연령, 성별, 체질량지수(BMI) 등의 환자 내적 요인과 기온, 환경 등의 환자외적 요인에 의해 확률적으로 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 후향적, 의무기록 관찰 연구를 진행하여 여러 인자들을 추출하고 통계 분석을 실시하여 BAT 활성화와 여러 인자 간에 관련성을 확인하고자 한다. 2018년 1월부터 2019년 12월까지 2년간 국립암센터에서 PET/CT 검사를 시행한 환자의 의무기록을 수집하여 총 9155명의 환자를 추출하고 중복 검사를 포함한 13442건의 환자데이터를 대상으로 하였다. 환자데이터의 의무기록에서는 BAT 발생여부, 성별, 검사당시 나이, 영상촬영날짜, 검사장소, 주사시간, 키, 체중, 혈당, 진단명이 나오도록 조건을 설정하였다. BAT 활성화가 PET/CT 촬영 시 환경(기온, 검사장소)과 환자의 상태(혈당, BMI, 암의 종류, 성별, 나이)에 따라 영향을 받는지 확인하기 위하여 단변량 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실행한 후, P<0.1인 변수를 선택하여 BAT 활성화에 영향을 주는 다변량 회귀분석 모형을 최종적으로 분석하였다. BAT 활성화는 전체 13442건 중 93건(0.7%)이 발생되었다. 단변수 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과에서 유의한 결과는, 50세 이상인 환자보다 50세 미만인 환자에게서(P<0.001), 여성이 남성에 비해서(P<0.001), 외부기온 14.5도 미만에서(P<0.001), 정상 BMI보다 낮은 BMI에서(P<0.001), 혈당이 100mg/dl 미만에서(P<0.001), 오후 12시 30분 이전에 주사를 맞은 환자에게서(P<0.001) BAT 활성화가 증가하였다. 반면, 정상보다 높은 BMI에서(P<0.001), 폐암진단을 받은 환자에게서(P<0.05) 감소하였다. 다변수 결과에서는, 50세 미만인 환자에게서(P<0.001), 여성에게서(P<0.001), 외부기온 14.5도 미만에서(P<0.001) BAT 활성화가 유의하게 증가하였고, 정상보다 높은 BMI에서(P<0.05) 유의하게 감소하였다. 국립암센터에서 2년간 PET/CT 시행한 환자를 대상으로 BAT 활성화에 영향을 미치는 인자에 대한 후행 연구를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 외부기온 14.5도 미만의 날씨에 PET/CT 검사를 시행했던 50대 미만의 정상 체중 여성에게서 BAT가 유의하게 활성화가 되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 결과를 토대로 해당 인자에 적용된 환자를 사전에 식별할 수 있으며, 앞으로 여러 연구를 통하여 BAT의 활성화를 줄이는 것에 도움이 될 수 있다고 사료된다.

연구배경 : 기관지천식의 병태생리중 IgE의 합성 및 조절에 IL-4가 중요한 역할을 하며, IFN-$\gamma$는 이러한 IL-4의 작용을 길항하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이를 근거로 최근에 IFN-$\gamma$를 아토피 피부염등 IgE가 높은 알레르기성 질환의 치료에 이용하고자 하는 임상적 시도가 있는데, 아직 기관지천식에 대한 임상적 시도는 별로 보고되어 있지 않다. 그러나 IFN-$\gamma$는 in vitro에서 말초혈액 다형핵구나 단핵세포에 의한 독성산화물 생성을 증가시킨다는 보고도 있어, 실제 임상에서 IFN-$\gamma$ 치료의 임상적 효과는 확실하지 않다. 이에 저자들 IL-4 매개성 IgE 생성에 대한 IFN-$\gamma$의 길항작용에 기초하여, IgE가 정상범위보다 높은 기관지천식 환지들에서 in vitro 에서와 같이 in vivo 에서도 IFN-$\gamma$가 IgE 생성을 억제하는지 여부와, 그 결과로 임상적 치료효과를 나타내는지에 대해 관찰하는 한편, 다형핵구의 독성산화물 생성능에 미치는 영향은 in vitro의 경우와 어떻게 다른지에 대해서 관찰하였다. 대상 및 방법 : IgE가 200IU/ml 이상이고 정규적인 부신피질호르몬 치료에 반응을 보이지 않는 기관지천식 환자 50명과 정상인 17명을 대상으로, 혈중 CD23+ B-상층액 발현도, sCD23 농도, T-상층액의 IL-4 activity, 다형핵구에 의한 과산화 음이온 생성능등을 측정한 후, 환자군과 정상군간의 차이를 비교하고, 환자군에 대해서는 상기 검사외에 혈중 IgE 농도 및 histamine $PC_{20}$등을 함께 측정하여 IFN-$\gamma$ 치료전후의 변화를 관찰하였다. IFN-$\gamma$ 치료는 체중당 30,000IU를 매일 4주간 피하주사하였다. 결 과 : 다형핵구의 ${O_2}^-$ 생성능 환자군의 다형핵구는 정상군의 다형핵구에 비해 ${O_2}^-$생성능이 높았다(P<0.05). IFN-$\gamma$ 치료후 추적이 가능했던 환자들에서는 IFN-$\gamma$ 치료후에 다형핵구의 ${O_2}^-$ 생성능이 현저하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 다형핵구 배양시간에 따라 자연적인 ${O_2}^-$ 생성능 및 PMA 혹은 fMLP 자극에 의한 ${O_2}^-$ 생성능을 관찰하였을 때에도, 배양시간 및 자극제의 종류와 무관하게 IFN-$\gamma$ 치료후가 치료전에 비해 ${O_2}^-$ 생성능이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. IFN-$\gamma$ 치료전의 환자군의 말초혈액내 CD23+ B-상층액의 발현도는 정상군에 비해 현저히 높았으나(P<0.05), 치료후 추적검사가 가능하였던 15명의 환자들에서 치료전후에 의미있는 변화를 나타내지는 않았다. IFN-$\gamma$ 치료전의 환자군의 혈청내 sCD23 농도는 정상군에 비해 다소 높은 경향을 보였으며, 이중 치료 후 추적검사가 가능하였던 17명의 환자들중 11명(64.7%)에서 치료후에 혈청 sCD23 농도가 감소되었다. T-상층액의 IL-4 activity는 정상군에 비해 환자군에서 다소 높은 경향을 보였는데, IFN-$\gamma$ 치료후에는 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. IFN-$\gamma$ 치료후 혈청 IgE 농도의 추적검사가 시행되었던 환자 15명 중 9명(60%)에서 치료후 혈청 IgE 농도가 유의하게 감소되었다(P<0.05). IFN-$\gamma$ 치료에 따른 기관지과민반웅의 변화는 모두 12명의 환자에서 관찰되었는데, 이중 10명(83.3%)에서 IFN-$\gamma$ 치료후 histamine $PC_{20}$가 유의하게 호전되는 소견을 보여주었다(P<0.05). 결 론 : 이상의 연구결과 IFN-$\gamma$는 IgE가 높은 기관지천식 환자의 치료에 유용할 것으로 추측되며, in vivo에서의 IgE 합성 및 조절기전과 이에 대한 IFN-$\gamma$의 역할을 보다 명확하게 규명하기 위한 노력이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of exogenous zinc-metallothionein (Zn-MT) on anti-oxidative function and pork quality. After feeding a corn-soybean meal-based diet for two weeks, 48 pigs ($Duroc{\times}Landrace{\times}Chinese\;Black Pig$) were assigned randomly to four groups. Pigs in Group 1 were maintained under non-stress conditions, whereas pigs in Groups 2, 3 and 4 were aggressively handled for 25 min to produce stress. Pigs in Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 received intramuscular administration of saline (control group; CON), 0 (negative control group; NCON), 0.8 (low dose group; LOW), and 1.6 (high dose group; HIGH) mg rabbit liver Zn-MT per kg body weight, respectively. Pigs were slaughtered at 3 and 6 h post-injection. Zn-MT treatment increased (p<0.05) the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-peroxidase (GSH-PX) while decreasing the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver. These responses were greater (p<0.05) at 6 h than at 3 h post Zn-MT injection. Zn-MT treatment increased (p<0.05) hepatic SOD mRNA levels in a time and dose-dependent manner and decreased (p<0.05) serum glutamate-pyruvate transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase activities (indicators of tissue integrity). Zn-MT administration decreased (p<0.05) lactate concentration and increased (p<0.05) pH and water-holding capacity in the longissimus thorasis meat. Collectively, our results indicate that intramuscular administration of Zn-MT to pre-slaughter stressed pigs improved tissue anti-oxidative ability and meat quality.

최근 세기조절 방사선치료(Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, IMRT)와 같은 고 정밀 방사선 치료의 발전과 함께 두 경부 환자의 진단 및 치료 계획 그리고 추적관찰(follw-up)을 목적으로 한 CT 촬영 횟수가 크게 증가하고 있다. 이러한 CT 촬영의 증가와 MDCT와 같은 CT의 발전과 한 검사로 받는 피폭 선량이 상대적으로 다른 검사에 비하여 월등히 크기 때문에 환자 피폭 선량의 정확한 선량 평가가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 두 경부용 물팬텀(cylindrical water phantom)을 자체 제작하여, 연필형 이온 전리함 및 30 cc 이온 전리함 그리고 LiF:Mg,Cu,P TL 분말을 사용한 열형광 선량 측정법(Thermoluminescent Dosimetry, TLD)을 이용하여 Multi Detector Computed Tomography, MDCT의 흡수 선량 및 체표면 선량을 비교 평가하였다. MDCT의 슬라이스 폭의 일정한 선량 균일성을 확인하기 위하여 콜리메이션 2 mm 단일 빔의 프로필을 1 mm 간격으로 80 mm 측정한 결과 빔의 폭이 12 mm이고 선량 분포는 80~100%로 빔의 출력은 ＋Y 방향으로 높게 나타났다. 물팬텀의 중심부에서 연필형 이온 전리함 및 30 cc 이온 전리함과 TLD의 흡수 선량은 각각 31.83 mGy, 33.58 mGy, 32.73 mGy로 TLD의 흡수 선량은 이온전리함으로 구한 흡수선량과 오차범위 내에서 일치하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 체표면 10 mm 깊이에서의 TLD 선량은 33.92 mGy로 중심부보다 약 3.5% 높게 평가 되었다. 이러한 흡수선량은 두 경부 환자가 최초 진단을 위한 CT 촬영으로부터 치료계획 및 추적관찰을 목적으로 한 CT촬영까지 4회의 CT촬영을 할 경우, 이로 인한 피폭 선량이 약 14 cGy임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 방사선치료를 위한 CT 촬영으로 인한 환자의 피폭이 적지않음을 확인하였고 가능한 한 피폭을 줄이려는 노력을 기울여야 할 것이다.

목적: 변형 체내 표지법으로 적혈구 표지시 영향을 미칠 수 있는 인자에는 수혈, 환자에게 투여된 약제, 염화주석의 양, 발생기 내부성장 시간, tinning 시간, 배양시간, 혈액 양, 항응고제의 종류, 채취한 혈액을 배양시 rotating invertor 사용 유무 등 매우 다양하다. 저자들은 tinning 시간, 혈액 양, 채취한 혈액을 배양시 rotating invertor 사용 유무, 배양시간, 항응고제의 종류에 따라 변형 체내 표지법으로 적혈구 표지시 높은 결합효율을 유지시키기 위한 최상의 조건을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 3월부터 2004년 2월까지 과거에 빈혈, 혈액응고 질환, 출혈성 질환 등의 질병이 없는 자발적인 지원자 30명(남:여=19:11, 연령: $25{\pm}2$세)을 대상으로 하였다. Tinning시간, 혈액 양, 배양시간과 항응고제의 종류에 대한 실험에서는 각각의 인자마다 15명을 대상으로 45개씩, 모두 180개의 혈액 샘플을 얻었고, rotating invertor 사용유무에 대한 실험에서는 15명을 대상으로 30개를 얻어 총 210개의 혈액 샘플을 얻었다. 채취 한 혈액샘플은 원심분리기에서 상층액과 하층액으로 분리시켜 각각의 결합효율을 계산한 후 SPSS 10.0 프로그램을 이용하여 paired T-test와 one way ANOVA통계 검정을 실시하였다. 결과: Tinning 시간에 따른 결합효율은 5분일 때 $45{\pm}23%$, 20분일 때 $97{\pm}8%$, 35분일 때 $98{\pm}6%$로 20분과 35분에서 유의하게 높은 결합효율을 보였다(p<0.001). 혈액 양에 따른 결합효율은 1 mL일 때 $73{\pm}32%$, 3 mL일 때 $91{\pm}10%$, 5 mL일 때 $96{\pm}7%$로 3 mL와 5 mL에서 유의하게 높은 결합효율을 보였다(p<0.05). Rotating invertor를 사용한 경우 결합효율은 $96{\pm}7%$로 사용하지 않은 경우의 $87{\pm}18%$에 비하여 높았으나 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 배양시간에 따른 결합효율은 10분일 때 $96{\pm}7%$, 25분일 때 $95{\pm}12%$, 40분일 때 $98{\pm}3%$로 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 항응고제 종류에 따른 결합효율은 헤파린을 사용한 경우 $89{\pm}20%$, CPDA를 사용한 경우 $97{\pm}6%$, ACD를 사용한 경우 $98{\pm}4%$로 CPDA와ACD를 사용한 경우에 유의하게 높은 결합효율을 보였다(p<0.001). 결론: 변형 체내 표지법으로 적혈구를 표지시 우수한 결합효율을 유지하기 위해서는 채취하는 혈액의 양은 3 mL 이상, 배양시간은 10분 이상(10분-40분), 항응고제는 ACD나 CPDA tinning 시간은 20분 이상(20-35분)을 유지하고, 가능한 rotating invertor를 사용하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.
