An x-ray PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) technique was developed fur measuring quantitative information on flows inside opaque conduits and/or opaque-fluid flows. To check the performance of the x-ray PIV technique developed, it was applied to a liquid flow in an opaque Teflon tube. To acquire x-ray images suitable for PIV velocity field measurements, the refraction-based edge enhancement mechanism was employed with seeding detectable tracer particles. The amassed velocity field data obtained were in a reasonable agreement with the theoretical prediction. The x-ray PIV technique was also applied to get velocity fields of blood flow and to measure size and velocity of micro-bubbles simultaneously, and to visualize the water refilling process in bamboo leaves. The x-ray PIV was found to be a powerful transmission-type flow imaging technique fur measuring quantitative information of flows inside opaque objects and various opaque-fluid flows.

A cerebral aneurysm is a ballooning arising from a weakened area in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain. In this study, the flow analysis of the blood vessel, including the cerebral aneurysm and the stent, was conducted to investigate the effect of the stent shape on reduction of blood flowing into the cerebral aneurysm. We used the Carreau model to describe Non-Newtonian behaviors of blood flow. Two kinds of stents, which had different cross angles were modelled by the commercial CAD program and the geometries of those stents were reflected in the analysis domain of the blood vessel. From the results of the flow analysis, we found that the blood flowing into the cerebral aneurysm was decreased as the cross angle of the stent was decreased.

The purpose of the present study was to establish the mechanism of the generation of atherosclerosis by analyzing the hemodynamic variables in the coronary artery where atherosclerosis occurs frequently. From the previous results, the stenosis phenomena due to atherosclerosis were related to not only biochemical reaction between blood and blood vessel but also the hemodynamic factors like flow separation and oscillatory wall shear stress. The present study aimed to investigate the causes of the generation and progression of atherosclerosis in the coronary artery. This study also aimed to develop the softwares which generate automatically three dimensional vascular models obtained by the angiogram images and the computer vision techniques. In the present study, the flow patterns for full three-dimensional hemodynamic characteristics were analyzed. To understand the three-dimensional hemodynamic characteristics, the wall shear stress distributions and secondary flows were investigated quantitatively.

Currently, reticulocyte experimental calculation technology used in clinical laboratories are divided two types: manual and automated. Manual reticulocyte counting using a microscopy lacks accuracy due particularly to its low reproducibility, affecting the accuracy of manual reticulocyte count. Moreover, Automatic blood corpuscle analyzer flow cytometry is difficult to be used in underdeveloped countries and small scale laboratories due to relatively high cost. Therefore, this study tried to find a new method to complement these drawbacks. The aim of this study was to compare the stained reticulocytes count by spectrophotometer and also to analyze the statistics of spectrophotometer and flow cytometer. The same 8 EDTA samples were repeated 36 times to compare the agreement between spectrophotometer and flow cytometer. This study measured the specimen diluted 600 times at 700~780 nm by 10 differences. Wavelength between 710 to 730 by absorbance showed a positive correlation between standard data and test data (r=0.967, p<0.01), presenting a correlation between variables. Statistical analyses of regression for test and standard parametric data, the optimal dilution factor was 600 times. Therefore, this study tried to technical utilizes such as contributing economical for the reticulocyte absorbance apply from the auto spectrophotometer, a monitoring system for the reticulocyte relation anemia, etc. Therefore, more extensive studies, including an auto chemical analyzer application, will be needed.

There are positive effects, such as pain reduction, when rheumatism patients exercise in water, but the cause of the pain reduction is unclear, and research on this is inadequate. This study examined the flow of the surface of the foot and the principles of pain relief. Unsteady simulations were conducted to analyze the flow, which was performed by repeatedly setting the movement of the foot raising and descending three times. Pressure fluctuations and frequencies were analyzed by designating pressure points at the painful location. The results showed that a positive and negative pressure of approximately ±500Pa was applied overall. A pressure of approximately ±2000Pa was applied when the direction of movement was changed. A frequency of approximately 35 to 80Hz was generated in the area where rheumatoid arthritis pain frequently occurs. The effects of reducing pain could be predicted when continuous pressure fluctuations and frequencies are applied repeatedly to the painful location, blood circulation promotion. The results could be used as basic data to understand the principles of aquatic exercise and support the development of underwater exercise programs and developing related medical equipment.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of yellow loess on performance and blood component profile in broiler chickens. A total of three hundred sixty, 1 day old broiler chicks (Ross) were randomly divided into 3 groups with 4 replicates of 30 birds each. The experiment feeds were; control (basal diet), 0~10 days (basal diet with yellow loess T1 4%, T2 2%), 11~21 days (basal diet with yellow loess T1 2%, T2 1%), 22~35 days (basal diet with yellow loess T1 1%, T2 1%). The body weight and weight gain of the broilers fed T2 diet was significant higher than the T1 and control treatment (P<0.05). Feed intake was significantly higher than the control during overall period (P<0.05). Total cholesterol in all yellow loess supplemented treatments were significantly higher than the control treatment (P<0.05), and the triglyceride of broiler fed the diet containing T1 was significantly higher than the control and T2 treatment (P<0.05). No significant differences were observed on the total white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil (NE), monocyte (MO) and eosinophil (EO) in all yellow loess supplemented treatments compared to the control. Lymphocyte of T2 treatment was significantly higher than T1 and control treatment (P<0.05). No significant difference was observed on fecal ammonia gas emission, but broiler fed yellow loess was lower than the control treatment. Aa a result, dietary supplementation of yellow loess was improve to weight gain and feed intake of broiler.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of fermented apple pomace (FAP) and cinnamon on performance, blood profile and meat quality in broiler chickens. A total of six hundred, day old male broiler chicks (Cobb) were randomly divided into 5 groups with 4 replicates of 30 birds each. The treatment groups were; negative control (antibiotic-free diet), positive control (basal diet with 0.05% antibiotics and 0.03% anticoccidials), FAP 1.0%, cinnamon 0.1% and FAP 1.0% + cinnamon 1.0%. The body weight of the broilers fed the diets containing FAP 1.0% was higher than the other treatments during overall period. No synergistic effect in growth performance (weight gain and feed conversion rate) was found when FAP with cinnamon were fed to broilers. No significant differences were observed on the concentration of serum blood chemical. the TBARS was lower in the chickens fed 1.0% FAP diet compared to those of negative group and positive group. These results suggest the possibility that fermented of apple pomace could be used as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters to improve the performance and meat quality of broiler chickens.

Insertion of cannulae into vessels may disturb the blood flow doing non-physiological load and stress on blood cells such that ADP may increase and result in hemolysis. Authors used the computational method to simulate the 3-dimensional blood flow inside of the cannula using numerical method. We limited the research to within the drainage cannulae with side holes inserted through the human vein. In this paper, 9 different cannulae with side holes categorized by the number of side holes of 4, 12, and 20, and also categorized by the array type of side holes of staggered array, in-line array, and alternative in-line array were studied and compared to the cannula with no side holes by using CFD analysis. We evaluated the flow rate, the wall shear stress, and the shear rate and compared them with one another to estimate the effect of the side holes. The flow rate is not proportional to the number of the side holes. However, larger number of side holes can reduce the mean shear rate. Both the number and the array type of side holes play an important role on the fluid dynamics of the blood flow in cannulae.

Hydrogymnastics so that sufficient exercise effect can be obtained using the resistance of water has a positive effect on patients who have to receive arthritis or rehabilitation treatment. However, the studies on the effect are insufficient, and the main cause of their effects has not been unclear yet. In this study, in order to identify the main cause of the effects of Hydrogymnastics, conducted Unsteady fluid flow simulation under the same conditions as the actual environment. The analysis model based on real hands, and the pressure fluctuation applied to the knuckle was analyzed by the computational fluid method. During the underwater movement of the hands, Various sizes of vortices were generated between fingers due to skin surface velocity and flow resistance. Pressure of about -500 Pa to +500 Pa is applied by the vortex flow. Also It was confirmed that the positive pressure and the negative pressure were continuously repeated up to maximum + 2000 Pa at the minimum of -2000 Pa at the portion where the direction was changed. Pressure fluctuations with a frequency of 20 Hz to 70 Hz were added continuously for each knuckle. These continuous pressure fluctuations provide a direct massage effect on the knuckles, an It is judged that the blood circulation at the relevant part is positively affected.
