본 연구는 저온 저장된 키위과실의 상온 유통 중 에틸렌 발생 및 품질에 미치는 영향을 확인함으로써 유통기간 연장에 NO 처리 효과를 확인하기 위해서 수행하였다. 1개월 저장된 키위를 $200{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NO를 처리한 후 대조구와 함께 상온에 저장하면서 품질을 비교하였다. 상온에서 저장하는 동안 무게손실은 무처리구에 높았다. 에틸렌 생성은 NO 처리에 의해서 2일 지연되었으며, 호흡률은 대조구에 비해 2배이상 낮았다. 3개월 저장된 키위과실은 100, 200, 그리고 $500{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 농도로 NO를 처리하였다. 대조구는 NO를 처리하지 않은 무처리구와 $N_2$ 처리구를 두었다. 무게손실은 $100{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$에서 가장 많았으며, 1개월 저장된 과실에 비해서도 높은 손실률을 보였다. 에틸렌 생생은 대조구와 $100{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NO에서 높은 반면 $200{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NO와 $500{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NO에서는 상대적으로 낮았다. 경도는 무처리구와 $N_2$ 처리구는 저장일수가 경과 되면서 급격히 연화된 반면, NO 처리구에서는 6일까지 경도가 높게 유지되었으며, 특히 $200{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NO 처리구는 9일까지 유지되었다. 키위과실로부터 채취하여 배양된 Botrytis cinerea에 NO를 처리한 결과 처리 후 2일 경과될 때까지 무처리구와 $N_2$ 처리구에 비해서 NO 처리구는 곰팡이 번식이 적었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 저장된 과실을 상온에 유통하기 전에 NO 처리는 에틸렌 발생 및 호흡을 저지시키고, 연화를 지연시키는데 효과가 있다. NO의 적정 처리 농도는 $200{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NO을 기준으로 너무 낮거나 높으면 NO의 효과가 줄어든다.

지방간을 치유하기 위한 생식을 개발하기 위하여 기능성 천연식품을 재료로 한 조성물(천연복합식품)을 만들어 고지방, 고콜레스테롤식이에 의해 인위적으로 지방간을 유도한 흰쥐에게 단계적으로 급여한 후 혈청내 생물학적 수치와 간장조직 검사를 통하여 지방간 치유효과를 검토했다. 그 결과, 식이내 천연복합식품의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 혈청 AST, 혈청 ALT, 혈청 ALP, ${\gamma}$-GT 및 LDH 활성치가 하락하였다. 혈청 총 단백량은 천연복합식품 30% 및 50% 처리군에서는 대조군과 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 천연복합식품 100% 처리군은 대조군보다 유의하게 하락했다. 혈청 albumin 양도 천연복합식 품 30% 및 50% 처리군들은 대조군과 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았으나 천연복합식품 100% 처리군은 증가하는 경향을 보여 정상군과 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 혈청 triglyceride 양과 총콜레스테롤 양은 천연복합식 품 첨 가량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 간장내 지방축적을 알아보기 위한 간장의 외견상 및 세포조직검사에서 천연복합식품을 첨가하지 않은 대조군은 간장이 백색을 나타내어 지방축적이 심각함을 보여주었으나, 천연복합식품처리군 모두는 대조군과 비교하여 확연하게 간장내 지방축적량이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 간장의 세포조직검사에서도 대조군에 서늘 지방세포의 팽창이 확연했으나, 천연복합식품처리군 모두는 지방세포의 소멸이 시작되었음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 혈청내 생물학적 수치와 간장의 외견 및 조직검사의 결과를 미루어 볼 때 천연복합식 품은 고지방 및 고콜레스테롤식 이에 의해 유도된 흰쥐의 지방간 치유에 긍정적으로 기여할 수 있음을 시사해 준다., 2% 흥국 첨가식이군이 4% 홍국 첨가식이군보다 약간 높게 나타났다. 한편 혈청 중 HDL-cholesterol은 2% 및 4% 홍국 첨가식이군이 대조군에 비해서 16% 및 8%높게 나타나는 반면, LDL-cholesterol은 대조군에 비해서 다같이 약 26% 정도 감소되는 경향을 보였고, triglyceride의 함량 역 시 2% 및 4% 홍국 첨가식이군이 대조군에 비해서 모두 약 25% 정도 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 이때 동맥경화지수는 2$^{\circ}C$ 및 4% 홍국 첨가식이군이 대조군에 비해서 각각 39%, 29%의 유의한(P<0.05) 감소를 보였으며, 2% 홍국 첨가식이군 4% 홍국 첨가식이군보다 감소의 정도가 크게 나타나는 경향을 보였다. 이상 실험결과를 종합해 볼 때 홍국 성분은 oxygen free radical의 일종인 $H_2O$$_2$를 제거하는 효소인 catalase의 활성을 증가시킴으로서 유해산소에 의한 동맥경화증의 발생을 예방시켜 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료되나 이점에 대해서는 추후 계속적인 연구 검토가 행해져야할 것으로 생각된다.ria monolytogenes를 식초농도별로 1$0^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 처리하여 배양시킨 결과, 식초농도 1%이상에서는 검출되지 않았다. 가진 leucine을 주체(主體)로 한 유리(遊離)아미노산(酸), 그리고 galactose, arabinose 및 xylose등의 유리당(遊離糖), 단맛을 가진 betaine TMAO 및 핵산관련물질(核酸關聯物質)로서는 lMP, hypoxanthine 등이 중요(重要)한 성분(成分)이고 이들 성분(成分)들이 해삼내장(內臟)

Backgrounds : Because ventilator-induced lung injury is partly dependent on the intensity of vascular flow, we hypothesized that hypothermia may attenuate the degree of such an injury through a reduced cardiac output. Methods : Twenty-seven male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to normothermia ($37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$)-injurious ventilation (NT-V) group (n=10), hypothermia ($27{\pm}1^{\circ}C$)-injurious ventilation (HT-V) group (n=10), or nonventilated control group (n=7). The two thermal groups were subjected to injurious mechanical ventilation for 20 min with peak airway pressure 30 cm $H_2O$ at zero positive end-expiratory pressure, which was translated to tidal volume $54{\pm}6\;ml$ in the NT-V group and $53{\pm}4\;ml$ in the HT-V group (p>0.05). Results : Pressure-volume (P-V) curve after the injurious ventilation was almost identical to the baseline P-V curve in the HT-V group, whereas it was shifted rightward in the NT-V group. On gross inspection, the lungs of the HT-V group appeared smaller in size, and showed less hemorrhage especially at the dependent regions, than the lungs of the NT-V group. [Wet lung weight (g)/body weight (kg)] ($1.6{\pm}0.1$ vs $2.4{\pm}1.2$ ; p=0.014) and [wet lung weight/dry lung weight] ($5.0{\pm}0.1$ vs $6.1{\pm}0.8$ ; p=0.046) of the HT-V group were both lower than those of the NT-V group, while not different from those of the control group($1.4{\pm}0.4$, $4.8{\pm}0.4$, respectively). Protein concentration of the BAL fluid of the HT-V group was lower than that of the NT-V group($1,374{\pm}726\;ug/ml$ vs $3,471{\pm}1,985\;ug/ml$;p=0.003). Lactic dehydrogenase level of the BAL fluid of the HT-V group was lower than that of the NT-V group ($0.18{\pm}0.10\;unit/ml$ vs $0.43{\pm}0.22\;unit/ml$;p=0.046). Conclusions : Hypothermia attenuated pulmonary hemorrhage, permeability pulmonary edema, and alveolar cellular injuries associated with injurious mechanical ventilation, and preserved normal P-V characteristics of the lung in rats.

건답 직파 재배 포장에서 인산 입힌 완효성 비료와 유기질 비료의 시용 효과를 강원도 춘천시 천전리에 소재하는 강원대학교 농업생명과학대학 부속 농장에서 포장시험을 통하여 검토하였다. 직파된 공시품종은 오대벼였다. 질소의 수준은 95년과 96년에는 $150kg\;ha^{-1}$를 표준으로 하였고, 97년 시험에서는 녹비 작물의 질소질 비료의 성분을 고려하여 기비와 추비를 합한 질소 수준을 $120kg\;ha^{-1}$로 하였다. 요소의 분시 방법으로 분시비율 40-0-30-30과 0-40-30-30 처리를 하고, 인산 입힌 완효성 비료와 polymer resin을 입힌 완효성 비료로만 처리하였다. 요소 시용구에서 인산과 칼리는 각각 70kg과 $80kg\;ha^{-1}$수준으로 기비 처리하였다. 유기질비료로 춘천시 신북 농협에서 공급되는 계분 발효 퇴비를 $4,800kg\;ha^{-1}$기비시용에 $50kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$ 추비구와 $6,000kg\;ha^{-1}$ 기비만의 시용구를 두었다. 구당 면적은 $75m^2$이었다. 포장시험 결과 건답 직파 재배구의 수량은 요소 시용구에서 이앙 재배구의 80.7% 수준이었으며, 분시 방법간에 차이가 없었다. 유기질비료를 다량 시비한 $6,000kg\;ha^{-1}$구에서는 이앙 재배구 수량의 78.1%이었고, $4,800kg\;ha^{-1}$ 기비시용에 $50kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$ 추비구의 수량은 76.8%이었다. Polymer 입힌 완효성 비료구의 수량은 이앙 재배구의 81.0%이었다. 인산 입힌 완효성 비료 시용구의 수량은 이앙 재배구의 96.8%로 높았다. 인산 입힌 완효성 비료의 시용 효과가 다른 비료에 비해 효과가 있는 이유는 고형의 단단하고 큰 덩어리로 이루어져 있기 때문에 비료 성분이 서서히 용출되어 나와 효과적으로 작물에 공급된 한편 비료 성분의 손실을 줄일 수 있었기 때문으로 판단된다. 온도가 낮은 춘천 지역에서 직파 재배에 따른 호맥 생육 기간이 짧아 질소 공급효과는 적었다.

마늘의 이용성 증진과 마늘의 기능성 성분을 효율적으로 추출할 수 있는 최적용매에 대한 기초자료를 얻기 위해 마늘을 5종류의 유기용매와 4종류의 산을 사용하여 추출하고 추출수율과 기능성을 조사하여 최적 용매를 선정하였다. 선정된 용매의 농도를 0, 25, 50, 75, 100%로 조절하여 적정농도를 조사하고 적정용매의 pH 조절, 산 및 염의 첨가 시 추출율 및 아질산염 소거작용, 전자공여효과 및 총 thiosulfinates 함량 측정, 항산화성 등의 생리활성을 조사하였다. 마늘의 기능성 성분의 최적추출조건은 극성이 큰 methanol 의한 추출이 효과적이었다. Citric acid를 비롯하여 유기산 및 무기산 (acetic acid, phosphoric acid, tartaric acid)으로 추출할 때 고형분 수율은 높았으나 기능성에서 methanol 보다 효율성이 낮은 값을 보여 전자공여능은 약 1/2 정도 낮았다. 아질산염 소거능은 완충액의 모든 pH 영역에서 낮게 나타났고, 항산화효과인 과산화물 생성억제도 methanol 추출액이 약간 효과가 더 높았다. Methanol과 ethanol의 기능성 성분의 추출효과는 비슷하므로 식품응용을 고려할 때 ethanol이 보다 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. Ethanol의 농도를 달리하여 추출한 결과 50% ethanol 농도에서 가장 추출이 용이하였고 고형분수율 및 기능성도 가장 효과적이었다. 50% ethanol 용매보다 더 효율적인 추출조건을 찾기 위해 50% ethanol 용액의 pH조절과 NaCl, citric acid, $NaH_2PO_4$, $Na_2HPO_4$를 농도별로 첨가하여 추출하였을 때 고형분수율 및 기능성에서 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 마늘 성분의 추출은 50% ethanol 농도가 마늘의 기능성성분들의 효과적인 추출 방법으로 판단된다. Monascin의 경우 맛살에서 $0.01{\sim}3.31\;g/g$ 혼합어육소시지에서 $0.05{\sim}0.10\;g/g$, 반건조소시지에서 $0.34{\sim}0.35\;g/g$이 각각 검출되었고, 나머지 품목에서는 모두 불검출이었다. 한편, ankaflavin의 경우 맛살에서만 $0.02{\sim}0.89\;g/g$이 검출되었으며, 나머지 품목에서는 모두 불검출이었다.gen synthase의 활성은 P군에 비해 POD군에서 높았고(P<0.05), Px 백서가 Sham 백서에 비해 낮았다(P<0.05). Px 백서의 quadriceps 근육내 중성지방 축적량이 Sham 백서에 비해 높았는데, P에 비해 POD를 공급하였을 때 중성지방의 축적양이 낮아졌다. 결론적으로 POD은 당뇨와 정상 백서에서 인슐린 저항성을 감소시킴을 알 수 있었고 이러한 인슐린 저항성의 감소 현상은 근육에서의 glycogen synthase 활성과 관련이 있을 것으로 생각되었다.로 높은 것으로 밝혀졌지만, 그 이상의 농도에서는 낮은 수치를 나타내었다 이상의 결과로 보아 수용성계에서 뿐 만 아니라, 비수용성계에서도 중금속 이온 존재 하에서의 AsA 자동산화반응에서의 $O_2\bar{{\bullet}}$ 생성이 시사되었다.pm, $230^{\circ}C$에서 5.56 ppm으로 점진적으로 감소하였다. 이는 nonanoic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid등이 고온가열에 의해 생성되었다가 이들이 열분해로 소실되었기 때문으로 생각된다.평균치는 34점이었으며 여윔에서는 너무 살찜으로 갈수록 사회적 체형불안도가 상승하는 경향을 나타내었다. 후쿠오카 지역의 체형 불안 도가 대구지역보다 유의적으로 높았다. 한 일 여대생의 자기 체형인식 및 체형 불안도에

황산고토와 수산화고토는 용해도를 비롯한 화학적 특성이 크게 다르므로 이들을 비료로 토양에 시용하였을 때 토양의 화학성에 미치는 영향 또한 달리 나타날 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이들 고토 비료가 토양 pH, EC 및 교환성 양이온 분포에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수산화고토는 토양 pH를 증가시켰으며, 이러한 현상은 수산화고토의 낮은 용해도 때문에 주로 표토에만 제한적으로 나타났다. 황산고토의 경우에는 토양 pH를 저하시켰으며, 이러한 영향은 조사된 20 cm 깊이까지 나타났다. 용해도가 높은 황산고토의 이러한 pH 저하 현상은 주로 토양용액의 이온 강도 증가에 기인한는 것으로 판단되었다. 토양 EC는 황산고토 처리에서 크게 증가하였으나 수신화고토 처리에서는 표토 일부에서 약간 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 교환성 $Mg^{2+}$ 함량 조사 결과를 보면 황산고토의 경우 용해도가 높으므로 일시에 다량의 마그네슘이 토양에 용출되며 관수에 따라서 쉽게 용탈될 수 있는 것으로 나티났으며, 반면 수산화고토의 경우에는 용해도가 낮으므로 표토에만 지속적으로 마그네슘을 공급할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 황산고토 처리의 경우 다량의 마그네슘을 용출되므로 수산화고토에 비하여 교환성 $Ca^{2+}$의 유실을 초래할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 고려할 때, 토양 환경 특성을 고려한 고토 비종의 선택이 필요할 것이며, 특히 산성토양 또는 염류집적 가능성이 높은 토양에서는 황산고토에 비해 수산화고토의 시용이 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

표식 유전자를 이용하여 체세포 잡종체를 선발하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 감자조직에는 T-DNA를 도입하여 식물호르몬 무첨가 배지에서도 생장가능한 형질전환체을 획득하고, 담배조직에는 NPT H gene을 도입하여 kanamycin에 대해서 저항성을 나타내는 형질전환체를 획득하여 각각의 특성구명과 원형질체를 유리하여 도입된 유전자 marker를 이용해서 융합을 시도한 바 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 감자 괴경에서 Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ach5와 A. rhizogenes ATCC15834를 접종하여 crown gall tumor 및 hairy root를 유기하였으며 이러한 tumor조직은 식물 호르몬 무첨가 배지에서 생장이 가능하였다. 2. 감자에서 유기된 hairy root로부터 callus 형성은 2.4-D 2mg/1 첨가된 MS 배지에서 가장 양호하였으며 casein hydrolysate 1g/1가 첨가하면 유연 한 callus의 증식이 더욱 왕성하였다. 3. Activated charcoal이 0.5~2.0g/1 첨가된 배지에서는 crown gall tumor callus의 절단면이 갈변되는 것을 방지 할 수 있어 생존률을 높일 수 있었으나 hairy root에서는 갈변되어 고사되었다. 4. 2, 4-D 2mg/1와 casein hydrolysate 1g/1를 첨가한 배지에 hairy root callus를 현탁배의한 결과 양호한 많은 callus 덩어리들을 단시간에 얻을 수 있었다. 5. $Tri^-$parental mating으로 NPTII gene이 coding되어있는 binary vector인 pGA643을 wild type 및 disarmid된 Agrobacterium 내에 도입하여 Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ach5/pGA643, A.tumefaciens $A_4T$/pGA643, A. tumefaciens LBA4404/pGA643를 획득하였다. 이 세 개의 conjugant를 사용하여 0.7% agarose gel 상에서 pGA643을 확인하였다. 6. pGA643이 도입왼 Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404와 담배 조직과 동시배양하여 kanamycin $100\mug$/ml 첨가된 배지에 생존하는 callus를 선발하였으며 동일배지에서 callus의 증식이 가능하였다. 7.형질전환된 담배 callus로부터 식물체 형성은 BA 2mg/1를 첨가한 배지에서 가능하였다. 8. 재분화된 담배의 엽조직은 kanamycin.이 $1000\mug$/ml 첨가된 MS 배지에서도 왕성히 callus가 유기되어, 이는 재분화체에서도 NPTII gene이 그대로 유지되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 9. 담배의 정상 shoot와 형질전환된 shoot를 kanamycin이 $100\mug$/ml이 함유된 MS배지에 기내삽목한 결과, 정상 shoot는 발근이 되지 않고 황화 되었으나 형질전환된 shoot는 발근이되었으며 정상적으로 생장을 하였다. 10. 감자의 T-DNA가 도입된 현탁배양 callus는 cellulase 2%, macerozyme 2%, dricelase 1%에서 양호하게 유리되었다. 11. Osmoticum으로서 mannitol 농도 0.8M에서 담배와 감자의 두 조직 모두 원형질체유리가 가장 효과적이었다. 생존력은 T-DNA가 도입된 감자의 hairy root를 callus로 탈분화 시킨 후 현탁배양한 callus가 mannitol 0.5M에서 97%를 나타냈고, 그리고 NPTII gene이 도입된 담배의 엽조직은 mannitol 0.7M에서 94%로 최고를 타나냈다. 12. 원형질체 융합은 PEG solution 처리 15분 후부터 관찰되기 시작하여 20분에 완전히 융합되었고, 융합된 원형질체는 선발 marker인 호르몬 무첨가 및 kanamycin 첨가배지에서 배양 5일 후에 세포벽이 재생되었으며 4주일 후부터 colony들이 관찰되었다.

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.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

최근 10년간 우리나라 경제의 급격한 발전으로 이에 부수적으로 일어나는 대기오염은 생활환경을 파괴하는 오염형태의 하나로서 직접 또는 간접으로 인체에 미치는 피해는 격심하여가고 있으며 이것이 심각한 사회문제로 대두되었다. 대기오염이 인체에 미치는 영향에 관하여 병리나 임상적으로는 많은 연구보고가 있으나 호흡기로의 기시부인 비강이나 인의 영향에 관한 연구보고는 많지 않은 실정인 차제에 대기오염과 비, 인후질환자의 관계를 추구하여 그 대책을 논하는 것은 의의 있는 일이라 하겠다. 이러한 연구의 일환으로서 연세의대 공해연구소의 대기오염도조사에서 가장 심한 곳으로 확인된 부산시 우암동 지역에 위치한 S 공업고등학교 학생 469명은 조사군으로 하고 대기오염도가 낮은 K고등학교 학생 345명을 대조군으로 하여 내과, 안과, 비, 인후과적 검사를 실시하여 얻은 성적과 그 외의 문제점들을 검토하고자 한다. I. 위해오염물질 대기오염물질은 자극성가스와 질식성가스로 구분되며 이비인후과 질환과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것은 자극성 가스이며 여기에는 질소산화물, 유황산화물, 탄화수소와 그리고 광합성작용에 의하여 2차적으로 발생하는 강력한 자극성물질인 PAN(Peroxy acyl nitrate) 등을 열거할 수 있으며 이들 가스는 산화성이 강하기 때문에 점막이 부착되어 괴양 및 2차감염을 일으켜 인체에 피해를 준다. 이리한 오염물질은 고체연료(특히 석탄)나 액체연료의 불완전 연소때와 각종 차량의 배기가스로서 배출된다. 대표적인 오염물질인 일산화탄소, 질소산화물 및 유황산화물의 조사지역과 대조지역의 오염도는 다음과 같다. II. 인체에 미치는 피해 1. 일반적인 피해 대기오염이 인체에 미치는 영향은 오염물질의 물리적 화학적 성상 및 오염물질의 농도, 양, 그리고 폭로기간 등에 따라 다르다. 각 오염물질별 건강피해를 보면 (1) $아황산가스(SO_2)$ 아황산가스는 오염물질 중 가장 대표적인 독성을 가지고 있으며 용해도가 높아서 기도에 용이하게 흡수되어 처음에는 자극증상이 오고 나중에는 기도 저항을 일으켜 폐부종, 호흡중추의 마비를 일으킨다. 만성 폭로 시에는 비염, 인루염, 후각 및 미각장해를 일으킨다. (2) 일산화탄소(CO) CO는 혈색소의 산소운반 능력을 박탈하기 때물에 중독증상을 일으킨다. 즉 CO 중독은 농도와 흡입시간에 따라 차이가 있으나 우선 두통, 현기, 오심, 구토, 이명이 오고 호흡곤란, 허탈상태, 근육이완, 졸도등을 수반하고 혼수상태에서 사망한다. (3) 질소산화물 여러 질소산화물중 배기가스에서는 $NO_2로$ 배출되며 또한 탄화수소와 태양광선이 대기중에서 작용하여 $NO_2를$ 생산하며 $NO_2는$ 변성 Hemoglobin 을 생성하여 호흡기 장해를 일으킨다. $NO_2의$ 급성 중독증상으로서는 눈, 코를 강하게 자극하고 폐충혈, 폐수종, 기관지염, 폐염 등을 일으킨다. 만성 중독시에는 만성폐섬유와 및 폐수종을 일으킨다. (4) $오존(O_3)$ Ozone은 자동차 배기가스에서 나오는 $NO_2$ gas 및 탄화수소와 작용하여, PAN이라는 자극성 물질을 생성시키는 광학적 Smog의 주요소로 알려져 있다. 자극적인 냄새가 있음으로 불쾌감을 주고 비, 인후점막의 전조감과 두통이 오며 폐기능을 저하시키며 더욱 진행되면 폐충혈, 폐수종 등을 일으킨다 (5) Smog에 의한 건강피해 대표적인 것이 1952.12.5~12.8까지 4일간 영국 Lon-don에서 계속된 Smog사건이며, 이 사건으로 말미암아 호흡기질환 사망율이 사건전보다 사건기간 중 혹은 사건후에 5~10배의 증가율을 보였다. 이때 Smog의 주원인은 연료의 불완전 연소에 의한 연기와 이때 발생하는 아황산가스가 주원인이며 dust가 2차적 원인이라고 생각하였다. 새로운 종류의 공해로서 광학적 Smog에 의한 피해가 1970. 7. 18 Tokyo의 한 고등학교에서 발생한 바 운동장에서 운동 중이던 여학생 43명이 눈에 대한 자극증상, 인후동통, 기침을 호소하고 그중에는 호흡곤란으로 의식불명에 빠진 학생도 있었다. 이러한 현상은 대기중에 배출된 탄화수소와 oxidant가 대기중의 광 energy와 결합하여 발생한 것이라 하였다. 2) 비, 인후과 질환 대조군 345명과 조사군 469명중 호흡기계, 안과 및 비, 인두의 자각증상의 유소견자는 각각 39명(11.3%)와 106명(22.6%)로서 조사군이 대조군 보다 약 2배 많았다. 조사군의 유소견자중 호흡기증상 29명(29%), 안증상 22명(21%), 비폐쇠 및 비후 50명(47%), 인후통 5명(5%)으로서 비, 인두 자각증상의 유소견자가 55명(52%)으로서 과반수를 차지하고 있었다. 임상검사에 의한 타각증상의 유소견자는 대조군 99명 (28.8), 조사군 180(384%)으로서 조사군이 대조군 보다 10%정도 많았다. 조사군의 유소견자중 호흡기질환 1명(0.6%), 안질환 8명(4.4%), 비염 97명(54%), 인두편도염 74명(41%)으로서 비, 인두질환이 171명이었다. 이상의 성적에서 오염지구의 자, 타각증상의 유소견자중 비, 인두질환이 압도적으로 많은 것으로 보아 대기오염과 이비인후과 질환과는 밀접한 관계가 있으며 앞으로 그 대책이 시급히 요구된다고 하겠다.

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.
