Noise-induced hearing loss(NIHL) was the highest rate (43.5%~58.5% from 1996 to 1998) of positive findings through specific medical program in Korea. There were much more NIHL at workers of automobile manufacturing factories than other manufacturing factories. The specific aim of the present study was to determine the noise exposure of automobile press lines, according to their job titles, press line types(auto, semiauto), dosimeter parameters setting. There were a total 11 press lines sampled at a automobile manufacturing company. Among those press lines, 10 press lines were autolines with acoustic enclosure, one semiauto press line was no aucostic enclosure Noise exposure data were sampled for an work shift using noise dosimeter, which recorded both time-weighted average(TWA) and 1-min average. The mean OSHA TWA(Korea TWA with threshold 90) was $80.7dB(A){\pm}4.7dB(A)$ for leader, $82.8dB(A{\pm}4.5dB(A)$ for pallette man, $76.7dB(A){\pm}4.3dB(A)$ for press operators, $76.6dB(A){\pm}5.6dB(A)$ for crane operators, $77.1dB(A){\pm}2.8dB(A)$ for forklift drivers, whereas the mean NIOSH TWA was $88.9dB(A){\pm}1.7dB(A)$ for leader, $89.6dB(A){\pm}2.1dB(A)$ for pallette man, $86.7dB(A){\pm}1.8dB(A)$ for press operators, $88.5dB(A){\pm}2.0dB(A)$ for crane operators, $87.7dB(A){\pm}1.0dB(A)$ for forklift drivers. While L10 for NIOSH TWA samples was 84.8 dB(A) ~ 87.3 dB(A), L10 for OSHA TWA samples was 69.5 dB(A) ~ 77.4 dB(A). L10 means that the TWA for 90% of the samples exceeded L10. Among OSHA TWA(Korea TWA with threshold 90) samples for pallette man, 7.7 % exceeded 90 dB(A), the OSHA permissible exposure level, but OSHA TWA samples for the other job titles didn't. Among NIOSH TWA samples, the samples over 85 dB(A), the NIOSH recommended exposure limit, was 100% (leaders), 83.3 %(operators), 97.4%(palletteman), 100%(forklift drivers), 91.7 %(crane operator). The results of One-way random effects analysis of variance models shows that the difference between job titles was significant by OSHA TWA(p<0.05), but not significant by NIOSH TWA(p>0.05). NIOSH TWA samples were significantly higher than OSHA TWA samples(P<0.05). Regression analysis was used to obtain relationships between OSHA TWA samples and NIOSH TWA samples. In this case the coefficient of determination = 0.90, which shows the high degree association between two methods. Regression equation, NIOSH TWA = 0.552 * OSHA TWA + 42.13 dB(A), shows that if OSHA TWA is known, NIOSH TWA can be predicted by the equation. The mean TWA difference between threshold 80 dBA and 90 dBA was significant(p<0.01). While the TWA noise exposures were 7.7% above the Korea(OSHA) PEL, they were more than 83.3% over NIOSH REL. Automobile workers were exposed to noise level that could be potentially damaging to their hearing. It found that there is approximately 25% excess risk of hearing loss even if a worker is protected to the PEL in according to NIOSH study.

목적: 휴식 부하 심근관류 SPECT로 관상동맥질환을 진단하고 관상동맥협착을 찾을 때 게이트 SPECT 방법과 감쇠보정 후 관류 SPECT를 사용하면 특이도가 올라가서 진단 성능이 향상된다는 보고가 있다. 이 연구는 임상적으로 중간 정도의 관상동맥질환 유병 가능성을 보이는 환자에서 게이트 SPECT가 진단 성능을 향상시키는지 게이트 감쇠보정 SPECT를 시행하여 조사하였다. 대상 및 방법: 휴식기 T1-201 디피리다몰 부하 Tc-99m-MIBI SPECT를 할 때 둘 다 감쇠보정 영상을 얻고 Tc-99m-MIBI SPECT는 게이트 SPECT로 얻어 검사성능을 비교하였다. 혈관조영술로 진단된 단일 혈관질환 13명, 두 혈관질환 18명, 세 혈관질환 8명과 정상임을 확인한 29명을 합한 모두 68명의 환자에서 세 판독자가 독립적으로 각 동맥의 협착 유무와 질환 유무를 5 등급으로 점수화하여 수신자 특성 곡선을 그렸다. 결과: Hanley와 McNeil의 방법으로 곡선 아래 면적을 구하고 비교하여 유의한 차이가 있는지 보았으나 판독자나 어느 동맥영역인지에 상관없이 유의한 차이를 찾지 못하였다. 등급 3보다 큰 등급을 지정한 경우 검사 양성으로 보아 계산한 예민도와 특이도도 유의하게 차이 없었다. 결론: 우리는 이 결과를 보고 관상동맥질환의 검사 전 가능성이 중간 정도인 환자에서는 판독자나 동맥에 상관없이 게이트 SPECT를 더하거나 감쇠보정 SPECT를 더하여 보아도 진단 성능이 향상되지 않는다고 생각하였다.

본 연구의 기본개념은 개별 차량이 대기차량 검지기를 통과할 때 "점유시간이 길다면 곧 차량은 정체하고 있다."라는 아주 기본적인 명제에서 출발하고 있다. 즉 차량의 속도를 고려하지 않고, 점유시간과 정체도는 비례한다는 개념으로부터 차량의 점유시간에서 정체도의 개념을 바로 유추하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 수행한 결과만을 놓고 본다면, 본 연구에서 제안하는 방식인 지점속도 대신 주기단위 점유율을 사용하는것이 모형이 정확도와 대기길이 추정의 신뢰도 측면에서 공히 우월한 결과를 얻었다. 이외 운영자 측면에서의 이점으로는 긴존 방식에서 요구되는 모수 s1, s2, Thdoc 값을 현장에 맞게 최적화 할 필요 없이 점유율을 곧 바로 정체도로 사용할 수 있다는 장점도 매력적일 수 있다. 점유율 방식을 사용할 경우 물론 현장 상황에 따라 조정되어야 할 변수들이 있겠지만, 기정값으로는 기존 임계정체도에서 사용하는 값인 0.7 대신에 0.20 - 0.30 정도가 적당한 것으로 분석되었다. 단, 제안 모형의 한계로는 본 모형은 누적 점유시간을 계측 주기시간 동안의 점유율을 사용하기 때문에 만일 대기차량이 형성되어 있는 동안 차량이 검지기를 점유하지 않을 때는 상당한 오차를 가지게 된다는 문제가 있다. 따라서 제안방식의 모형의 추정 신뢰도를 제고하기 위해서는 현재 상류부 대기길이용 검지기인 1.8m X 1.8m 크기의 검지기를 차량흐름 방향으로 크게 하거나 아니면 아예 검지기를 쌍으로 설치하는 것이 필요하다고 하겠다. 또한 COSMOS 시스템에서의 신뢰도 높은 대기길이 추정 기능은 과포화시 효율적인 신호제어에 필수적으로 요구되는 기능으로 향후 이와 관련된 후속연구가 활발히 진행되기를 바란다.그리고 매트릭스는 $256\times512$ 였다. MRI촬영자료에서 관절연골부위를 픽셀단위로 비교분석 하였다. 배양이 끝난 관절연골은 hematoxylin & eosin, toluidine blue, alcian blue, trichrome 염색 등을 시행하여 관찰하였다. 결과 : Dimethylmethylene blue를 이용한 GAG의 정량분석결과 배양시간증가에 따라 GAG의 농도가 비례적으로 증가하였다. $Gd(DTPA)^{2-}$ 첨가된 trypsin배양에서 관절연골의 T1 강조 영상에서의 신호강도는 trypsin 배양에 비하여 평균 $42.0\%$ 증가하였고 4시간과 5시간배양에서는 trypsin에서만 배양한 관절연골에 비하여 신호강도가 더욱 뚜렷하게 증가되었다 (p<0.05). 관절연골의 T1, T2, rho 이완시간은 배양시간에 따라 유의성 있는 차이가 관찰되지 않았으나 $Gd(DTPA)^{2-}$ 첨가된 trypsin배양에서 T1이완시간의 증가가 관절연골의 표층부와 이행부에서 측정되었다. 조직검사결과 trypsin 배양의 관절연골에서 toluidine blue와 alcian blue염색에서 결손이 관찰되었다. 결론 : Trypsin 배양시간에 따라 관절연골의 GAG결손을 정량적으로 확인할 수 있었고 픽셀크기 $97.9\times195\;{\mu}m$인 MRI로 $Gd(DTPA)^{2-}$-조영증강 및 이완시간을 측정할 수 있었다. 배양시간에 따른 GAG결손은 T1, T2, rho 이완시간보다 $Gd(DTPA)^{2-}$-조영증강에서

여러가지 교정장치 중에서 고정성 장치는 개개치아의 이동에 있어 가장 효과적으로 사용되는 장치이므로 그 작용기전과 역학적 관계를 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 고정성 장치의 탄선형태는 크게 continuous arch, segmented arch, sectional arch로 나누어 볼수있는데, segmented arch나 sectional arch는 힘의 작용점이 단순하고 interbracket distance도 길어 술자 임의대로 force system 조절이 가능한 반면 continuous arch에 서는 bracket geometry가 다양하고, interbracket distance가 좁아 force system의 조절이나 그 역학적 분석이 어려운게 사실이다. 저자는 공학에서의 3 dimensional elastic beam이 continuous arch의 형태와 유사한 점에 착안하여 continuous arch 의 force system을 분석하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 다양한 형상을 갖는 3개의 bracket geometry를 표본형상으로 설정하고 기울기, 변위 및 interbracket distance에 따른 힘과 moment의 변화양상을 분석하고, 저자가 임의로 제작한 불규칙한 치아배열을 갖는 3차원 모형을 일례로하여 0.016 NiTi archwire를 bracket내에 삽입했을 때 발생되는 초기 힘과 moment를 분석 비교해본 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Bracket의 변위 또는 기울기에 따라 나타나는 힘의 양상이 선형 대칭적인 비례관계를 보였다. 2. Interbracket distance에 따라 나타나는 힘의 양상은 비선형 대칭적인 반비례관계를 보였다. 3. 3차원 모형에서 bracket 형상이 비교적 단순한 부위에서는 표본형상과 비교분석이 가능했지만 인접치의 형상이 복잡한 부위에서는 표본형상의 예측량보다 힘이 크게 발생 되었다.나타나지 않았다. 하악의 arch length discrepancy는 하악 절치의 MD/FL index와, 상악의 arch length discrepancy는 측절치의 MD/FL index에서 상관관계를 나타내었다. 4. 정상군과 밀집군의 각 계측항목의 t-검정 결과 하악의 arch length discrepancy, overbite에서만 유의차를 나타내었다. 검사에서 Plaque Index(p<0.01)와 Gingival Index(p<0.001)가 상당히 낮은것으로 나타났다. 겔형 불화주석군에서 한 증례는 미미한 치관착색을, 두 증례는 보통정도의 치관착색을 보였다. 치아탈회 연구에서는 겔형 불화주석군과 불화나트륨 양치액군이 치료후 치아탈회값에서 치료전 치아탈회값을 뺀 치아탈회값이 대조군에 비해 구강전체및 제1대구치에서 현저하게 낮은 값(p<0.05)을 보였다. 비록 겔형 불화주석군이 불화나트륨 양치액군보다 일관되게 낮은 치아탈회값을 보였을지라도 통계적으로 그 차이는 단지 유의성을 보이는 정도였다.는 골기질의 주성분인 type I 교원질의 합성을 선택적으로 억제하는 기능과 alkaline phosphatase의 활성을 크게 증가시키지 못한 점 등으로 미루어 볼 때, 골개조를 억제하는 방향으로 작용한다고 볼 수 있으며, 교정치료 과정중 골개조를 억제하는 부위에서 사용을 시도해 볼 수 있겠다.>신뢰구간은 상악에서 정상교합군은 $79.5-81.0\%$, 비발치군은 $81.6-84.9\%$, 발치군은 $70.1-72.2\%$로 나타났으며, 하악에서 정상교합군은 $79.8-82.2\%$, 비발치군은 $82.1-85.5\%$, 발치군은 $73.1-75.1\%$로 나타났다. 7. 최대치아근원심폭경합, 기저악궁폭경, 기저악궁장경, 최대치아근원심폭경 합에 대한

고추의 주요 병해충인 총채벌레(Thrips palmi)와 탄저병(Colletotrichum acutatum)을 방제하기 위해 다양한 화학농약이 사용되고 있지만, 농약의 오남용으로 인하여 이에 대한 저항성이 발생하여 방제가 힘들어지고 환경오염을 초래하는 문제가 있다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 극복하고자 총채벌레에 대한 살충효과와 탄저병에 항균력이 우수한 균주를 선발하여 동시 방제의 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 토양으로부터 분리한 곤충병원성 곰팡이 13균주($1{\times}10^7conidia/mL$)를 오이총채벌레 성충과 약충에 처리하여 70~100%의 우수한 살충률을 나타내는 6균주를 선발하였다. 선발한 6균주의 항균활성을 검정하기 위하여 고추 탄저병균에 대치 배양한 결과, 항균력이 우수한 FT333 균주를 최종 선발할 수 있었다. 최종 선발된 균주를 형태학적 조사와 internal transcribed spacer, ${\beta}-tubulin$ 영역의 염기서열 분석을 통하여 Isaria javanica로 동정하였고, I. javanica FT333으로 명명하였다. I. javanica FT333 (KACC93316P)의 고추 탄저병균에 대한 방제 효과를 기내에서 검정한 결과($1{\times}10^5$, $1{\times}10^6$, $1{\times}10^7conidia/mL$) 95% 이상의 방제효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들을 바탕으로 I. javanica FT333 균주가 고추 탄저병균과 미소해충인 오이총채벌레를 동시에 방제하기 위한 미생물제제로서 이용될 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 2007학년도와 2008학년도에 이루어진 학교급식 품질 속성 평가 결과 및 만족도 점수의 비교 분석을 통해 급식 품질 속성의 연간 변화를 탐색하고 그 변화 양상을 살핌으로써 학교급식의 연간 개선 정도를 파악하고자 하였다. 또한 학교급식의 전반적인 만족도 점수의 향상 정도를 분석하여, 학교급식의 수요자 중심 급식 품질 평가를 통해 지속적인 품질 개선 방안을 모색하기 위한 자료로 제공하고자 하였다. 1) 조사대상에 따른 연차별 급식 품질속성의 평가에서 학생, 학부모, 교직원 모두 전년대비 급식 품질 속성에 대한 평가 점수가 전반적으로 상승한 것으로 나타났으며, 두 학년도 모두 평가 결과가 대부분 교직원, 학부모, 학생의 순으로 상승한 것으로 조사되었다. 학생의 경우, '급식정보제공‘ 속성이 78.8점에서 76.2점으로 전년 대비 통계적으로 유의하게 하락한 것으로 조사되었던 반면, 학부모와 교직원의 경우에는 평가가 전년대비 상승하였다. 2) 조사대상 전체의 초 중 고 학교에 따른 연차별 급식 품질 속성의 평가에서 초등학교와 중학교의 평가 상승이 두드러지게 나타났다. 초 중 고등학교 모두 '급식 의견 수렴', '식사장소의 편안함' 속성의 상승이 크게 나타났고, 고등학교의 경우 '급식정보제공' 속성의 경우에는 평가 점수가 하락한 것으로 분석되었다. 3) 학생의 초 중 고 학교에 따른 연차별 급식 품질 속성 평가 결과는 '음식의 제공량', '메뉴의 다양성' 속성은 전년대비 변화가 없는 것으로 분석되었고, '급식정보제공' 속성의 경우에는 전년대비 점수가 하락한 것으로 분석되었다. 중학생의 급식 품질 속성 평가의 상승폭이 초등학생과 중학생에 비해 두드러지게 나타났고, 고등학생의 평가는 전년 대비 변화가 적은 것으로 조사되었다. 4) 학부모의 초 중 고 학교에 따른 연차별 급식 품질속성의 평가는 초등학교 학부모는 모든 급식 품질 속성 평가에서 전년 대비 상승하였고, 중학교의 경우에는 '음식의 제공량', '메뉴의 다양성' 속성을 제외한 속성에서 상승하였다. 고등학교 학부모의 경우에는 '급식 위생', '식사 및 배식질서 지도', '급식 의견 수렴', '급식정보제공', '배식원친절'의 5개 속성을 제외한 나머지 6개 속성에 대해서는 2007학년도와 2008학년도의 평가 결과는 통계적으로 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 5) 교직원의 초 중 고 학교에 따른 연차별 급식 품질 속성의 평가 결과, 초등학교는 '식사장소의 편안함' 속성을 제외한 모든 급식 품질 속성에서 유의적으로 향상되었고, '급식 의견 수렴' 속성은 초 중 고등학교 교직원 모두 전년대비 평가 점수의 향상이 가장 두드러졌다. 6) 조사대상에 따른 연차별 학교급식의 전반적인 만족도는 2007학년도에 전체 69.2점에서 2008학년도에는 71.9 점으로 상승되었다. 학생 (66.4 ${\rightarrow}$ 68.2), 학부모 (69.9 ${\rightarrow}$ 72.1), 교직원 (76.8 ${\rightarrow}$ 82.6) 모두 전년대비 상승하였다. 7) 조사대상별 초 중 고 학교에 따른 학교급식의 전반적인 만족도를 분석한 결과, 초 중 고등학교 모두 전년대비 전반적인 만족도 점수가 향상되었고, 특히 중학교의 상승이 두드러졌다. 학생의 전반적인 만족도의 경우 초등학교 (72.9${\rightarrow}$74.0)와 중학교 (61.5${\rightarrow}$65.8)의 경우에는 전년대비 상승하였고 (p < .001), 학부모의 경우 중학교 학부모가 67.3점에서 70.3점으로 상승하였으며 (p < .01), 교직원의 경우 초 중 고등학교 모두 전년대비 전반적인 만족도가 상승한 것으로 조사되었다 (p < .001). 본 연구는 교육과학기술부에 의해 2007년과 2008학년도 동일 기간에 표준화된 조사도구로 조사된 결과를 비교 분석한 연구로, 이와 같은 정기적이고 지속적인 연구를 통해 학교급식의 품질 수준 및 급식 만족의 현 수준을 파악하고 연간 변화의 폭을 살핌으로써 전년대비 향상된 부분과 향후 노력이 요구되는 품질 속성을 파악함은 물론 이를 통한 끊임없는 학교급식 품질 향상이 기대된다. 또한 본 연구에서 학생, 학부모, 교직원의 급식 품질에 대한 인식 및 만족도의 차이를 보이고 있어, 보다 단기적이고 실질적인 학교급식 개선을 위해 피급식자인 학생과 급식 수혜자이자 관리자이면서 운영자인 교직원의 인식차이를 줄일 필요가 있겠다. 이를 위해 학생들의 급식에 대한 의견에 귀를 기울이는 학교별 창구의 마련이 요구된다. 또한 교직원은 학교급식이 학생 복지의 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나라는 인식의 제고가 필요할 뿐 아니라, 학교급식 운영에 대한 현황을 학생들에게 알리는 창구의 마련 역시 필요하다. 즉, 학생과 교직원의 쌍방향 의사소통을 위한 창구의 마련으로 서로간의 실질적인 현황 파악 및 인식의 차이를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 또한 초등학교, 중학교, 고등학교별 만족도의 차이를 보이고 있는데, 특히 고학년으로 갈수록 학교급식에 대한 만족도가 저하되고 있고, 각각의 급식 품질 속성에 대한 평가도 다른 만큼 학년별 눈높이에 맞는 개선방안이 강구되어야 할 것이다.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
