  • 간-부분절제후 재생과정에서 간 polyamine 대사에 교감신경계가 촉진적으로 간여하는지를 확인하기 위하여 본 실험을 시행하였다. Guanethidine 25mg/kg를 1회 (G-1), 또는 매일 1회씩 3(G-3), 5(G-5) 및 6일간(G-6) 각각 복강내-주사하고, diethyl ether 마취하에서 웅성 백서의 간을 부분$(70.4{\pm}1.99%)$-절제하여, 절제 전후의 혈압, 혈장 catecholamine치 및 간 polyamine 함량의 변동을 검토하여 다음의 성적을 얻었다. 1. 백서 꼬리에서 측정한 정상 수축기 혈압은 $98.0{\pm}3.9mmHg$이며, 이는 G-1에 별 영향을 받지 않았으나, G-3, G-5 및 G-6에 의하여는 25% 이상 현저히 저하되었다. 2. 혈장 norepinephrine 및 epinephrine치는 간-부분절제하고 3시간 후에 각각 $20.38{\pm}2.23pmole/ml$$56.06\pm4.63pmole/ml$로써 현저한 증가를 보였으며 그 증가율은 G-1 및 G-6에 의하여 80.46% 이상 현저히 억제되었다. 3. 간-부분절제 전의 putrescine, spermidine 및 spermine 함량은 각각 $118.6{\pm}14.1$, $873.8{\pm}27.7$$875.6{\pm}42.1nmole/g$ wet liver로서 절제후 6시간에 각각 5.5배, 1.5배 및 1.3배 이상 증가되었으며, putrescine의 증가만이 G-6에 의하여 유의하게 억제되었을 뿐 guanethidine-전처치에 별 영향을 받지않았다. 이상의 성적으로 미루어 볼 때, 간-부분절제후 재생과정에서 나타나는 polyamine대사의 촉진현상에 교감신경성 catecholamine들이 직접적으로 중요한 역할을 수행한다고 보기는 어렵다.

  • 비만성 저환기 증후군은 체질량지수 $30kg/m^2$ 이상의 비만 환자에서 낮 동안의 저산소혈증 및 고탄산혈증($PaCO_2$ 45 mmHg 이상, $PaO_2$ 70 mmHg 미만) 소견을 보이는 질환으로 90% 이상에서 무호흡-저호흡 지수가 시간 당 5회 이상인 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡이 동반되어 나타난다. 특히 고탄산혈증을 유발할 수 있는 심한 폐쇄성 환기장애나, 간질성 폐질환 혹은 심한 흉벽질환 및 신경근육질환을 배제하는 것이 진단에 필수적이나, 임상적으로 비만성저환기 증후군의 양상을 보인다면 조기에 질환을 의심하는 것이 예후에 매우 중요한 영향을 끼친다. 비만성 저환기 증후군 치료의 목표는 체중감소 및 폐쇄성 수면무호흡의 치료, 고탄산혈증과 저산소혈증의 개선으로 산소치료, 경비적 지속적 상기도 양압술, 비침습적 양압 환기요법 등으로 치료 효과를 얻은 증례들이 보고되어 있다. 특히 만성 호흡 부전의 급성 악화가 동반 환자이거나, 지속적 상기도 양압술로 치료가 실패한 환자, 폐쇄성수면무호흡을 동반하지 않은 비만성저환기 환자의 경우에는 이단 상기도 양압술을 적용하여 더 효과적인 치료 결과를 기대할 수 있다. 저자들은 폐포저환기를 유발할만한 다른 질병이나 상태를 가진 환자의 경우에도 중증 비만, 코골이 및 수면 중 무호흡, 낮 동안의 저산소혈증 및 고탄산혈증 등 비만성저환기증후군의 특징적 임상 양상에 근거하여 조기에 비만성저환기 증후군을 의심하였고 이에 대한 평가를 진행하여 이단 상기도 양압 치료를 통해 치료 효과를 거두고 환자의 예후에 매우 큰 영향을 끼치는 것을 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

  • 연구배경 : 내독소 투여시 혈장과 폐의 림프내에 cyclooxygenase 대사물과 lipoxygenase 대사물이 모두 증가하고, cyclooxygenase 차단제로 초기의 혈역학적 변화가 완화되어 내독소에 의한 급성 폐손상의 기전에서 cyclooxygenase 대사물의 역할이 중요시 되고 있다. 그러나 cyclooxygenase 억제약물이 내독소 투여시 후기에 관찰되는 폐혈관 투과성 증가에 미치는 효과에 대해서는 논란이 있는 실정이고 cyclooxygenase 대사과정에 관여하는 peroxidase에 의해서 산소기가 생성된다고 알려져 있어 cyclooxygenase 대사물이 직접 폐손상을 일으키는지 또는 대사과정에서 생성되는 산소기를 통해 간접적으로 관여 하는지는 확실히 규명되어 있지 않은 상태이다. 저자들은 cyclooxygenase 대사물이 내독소에 의한 급성 폐손상의 기전에 직접적 또는 간접적으로 관여하는지를 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 총 8마리의 집돼지를 내독소 투여군(n=3)과 indomethacin 전처치 후 내독소를 투여한 군(n=5)으로 나누어 시간 경과에 따른 혈력학적 지표의 변화, 혈장내 산화 glutathione(GSSG) 및 기관지폐포세척액내의 알부민 농도를 측정하여 indomethacin 전처치가 내독소에 의한 급성 폐손상에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 결과 : 1) 내독소 투여 후 phase 1(0-2 hr)과 phase 2(2-4.5 hr)에 걸쳐서 심박출양은 감소되고 평균 폐동맥압, 폐혈관저항, 폐포동맥간산소분압차는 증가되었으며 indomethacin 전처치로 두 phase의 변화가 모두 완화되었다. 2) phase 2에서 내독소에 의해 GSSG가 기저치에 비해 유의하게 증가했는데 indomethacin 전처치로는 완화되지 않았다. 3) 기관지폐포세척액내 알부민농도와 투과성지표는 내독소 투여군에 비해 indomethacin 전처치군에서 유의하게 낮았다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 내독소에 의한 돼지의 급성 폐손상에는 cyclooxygenase 대사물이 초기와 후기 모두에 관여할 것으로 생각되고 indomethacin이 산소기에 의한 산화반응에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 보아 산소기를 통한 간접작용보다는 cyclooxygenase 대사물이 직접 병인론적 기전에 관여할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 연구배경 : 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환을 대변하는 폐기종에서 주요 기능적 장애는 호기의 장애이며, 최대 호기류량은 기도의 크기, 폐의 탄력반동압 그리고 기도의 함몰성에 의해 결정된다. 기도의 항몰성은 폐기종에서 기류를 제한하는 하나의 기전으로 작용하지만, 폐용적과 폐의 과팽창을 유지하는 기전으로 작용하여 가스교환을 증진시킨다는 주장도 있다. 따라서 폐기종에서 기관이 호흡에 미치는 생리학적 역할이 무엇인지를 알아보고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 방 법 : 1997년 1월 1일부터 8월 31일까지 보라매병원 호흡기내과를 방문하여 단순 흉부방사선검사, 체간용적기록계(body plethysmography)를 포함하는 폐기능검사 및 HRCT를 통해 폐기종으로 진단된 20명을 대상으로 하였다. HRCT에서 대동맥궁의 정상부위에서 기관의 단면적을 호흡주기에 따라 측정하고 이를 체표면적으로 보정한 값과 동맥혈의 이산화탄소분압 및 산소분압, 기도저항, 폐유순도 등 폐기능지표와의 상관 관계를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 폐기종에서 기관의 단면적은 호기시 동맥혈의 이산화탄소분압(r=-0.61, p<0.05) 및 산소분압(r=0.6, p<0.05) 그리고 매분환기량(r=0.73, p<0.05)과 유의한 상관관계가 있었지만, 흡기시에는 상관관계가 없었다(이산화탄소분압과는 r=-0.22, p>0.05, 산소분압과는 r=0.26, p>0.05, 매분환기량과는 r=0.44, p>0.05). 매분환기량은 상시호흡량(tidal volume)과는 r=0.45(p<0.05)로 유의한 상관관계가 있었지만, 호흡수와는 r=-0.31(p>0.05)로 상관관계가 없었다. 폐기종에서 기관의 단면적은 호흡주기와 상관없이 $FEV_1$ FVC, $FEV_1$/FEC, 최대 호기류량, 잔기용적, 폐확산능, 기도저항, 폐유순도 등의 다른 폐기능지표와는 상관관계가 없었다. 결 론 : 폐기종에서 호기시 기관의 단면적은 주로 가스 교환(gas exchange)의 지표들과 유의한 상관관계가 있었지만, 폐용적이나 폐의 과팽창을 시사하는 지표와는 상관관계가 없었다. 따라서 폐기종에서는 호기시 동일 압력점의 개념에 의해 발생하는 기도압박으로 기관의 단면적이 감소하고 이러한 현상이 기류를 제한하는 하나의 기전으로 작용하는 것이지 폐용적이나 폐의 과팽창을 유지시켜 가스교환을 증진시키는 것은 아니라고 생각된다.

  • 목 적 : 가와사끼병은 회복기나 사춘기와 성인기에 정상인보다 동맥경화의 위험성이 크다고 알려져 있어 이에 대한 조기진단과 관리가 매우 중요하다. 이에 저자들은 가와사끼병을 앓은 학동기나 학동전기 아동을 대상으로 복부대동맥의 신전성과 동맥경화의 조기예측인자인 지질 성분과 혈액학적 염증 지표들을 조사하여 가와사끼병의 장기 관리의 기초적인 자료로 활용하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 충남대학교병원 소아과에서 1998년 6월부터 2005년 3월까지 가와사끼병으로 치료받았던 28명을 관상동맥병변이 지속되고 있는 8명(1군)과 관상동맥병변이 없었던 20명(2군)으로 나누어 조사하였고, 가와사끼병이 있는 군과 연령, 체중, 신장이 일치하는 건강한 소아 30명을 대조군(3군)으로 하였다. 지질 성분과 혈액학적 염증지표를 측정하였고, 혈압은 자동혈압계를 이용하여 앙와위에서 15분 안정 후 3회 측정하여 그 평균치를 구하였다. 심장초음파검사는 심실기능과 관상동맥병변 등을 조사하였으며 복부의 subxiphoid long axis view에서 복부 대동맥의 최대 수축기 직경과 최소 이완기직경을 측정하였다. 결 과 : 호모시스테인은 환자군과 대조군 사이에 유의한 차이(P=0.008)가 있었으나 지질성분에서는 차이가 없었다. 복부대동맥의 경직도를 나타내는 지표인 Ep, $Ep^*$는 대조군에 비해 환자군에서 유의(P<0.05)하게 증가되었으며, 관상동맥병변의 유무에 따라 비교해 보면 관상동맥병변이 있는 군(1군)에서는 유의한 차이를 보였으나 관상동맥병변이 없는 군(2군)은 대조군과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 또한 1군과 2군을 비교해 보았을 때 Ep, $Ep^*$이 1군에서 유의하게 증가해 있었다. 결 론 : 가와사끼병을 앓은 후 조기동맥경화의 변화는 학동기에도 나타날 수 있으며, 이는 관상동맥병변이 있는 환자에서 더욱 현저하다. 이에 대한 선별검사로 성인에서 이용되고 있는 동맥경화의 조기예측인자인 지질 성분과 혈액학적 염증지표들 및 혈관의 물리적 특성(PWV, FMD) 이외에도 복부 대동맥경직도가 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • Background : The stenosis of the coronary artery results in a decrease in the myocardial oxygen supply, ischemia and infarction. Jakamchotang as a drug of liquid is generally regarded to have the effect of arrythmia, palpitation from Heart disease and promoting the flow of Ki and Blood. Methods : The purpose of this experimental study is to find whether Jakamchotang is effective or not in curing ischemia in isolated perfused rat hearts and to measure the degree of its curing effect. In this study, under the Langendorff apparatus, ischemia was induced in isolated Sprague-Dawley rat hearts by ceasing the perfusion for 20 minites. Subjects were divided into a normal saline orally administered group(control group), an Jakamchotang orally 100mg administered group (sample A), an Jakamchotang orally 300mg administered group (sample B), and an Jakamchotang injection perfused group(sample C). The heart rates, left ventricular pressure, myocardial dilatation/contraction, cardiac perfusion flow and cardiac ezyme(LDH, CPK) of the four group were measured and compared in order to assess the influence of Jakamchotang on isolated perfused rat hearts recovering abillity from ischemia and infarction. results : 1. Heart rates were increased significantly in Jakamchotang orally 100mg administered group, Jakamchotang orally 300mg administered group and Jakamchotang injection perfused group on perfusion and reperfusion(p<0.01). 2. Left ventricular pressure were increased significantly in Jakamchotang orally 100mg administered group and 300mg administered and Jakamchotang injection perfused group(p<0.01) in comparison with control group on perfusion, but every group did not significant on reperfusion. 3. While there were no differances in each group's abillities of myocardial dilatation, the ability of myocardial constriction of Jakamchotang 100mg administered group only on perfusion was significantly greater than that of control group(p<0.05). 4. CBF was no significant on perfusion and reperfusion in comparison with control group(N.S.) 5. LDH was not significantly decreased on perfusion, but significactly decreased in Jakamchotang orally 100mg administered group, Jakamchotang orally 300mg administered group on reperfusion. 6. CPK was significantly decreased in Jakamchotang orally 100mg administered group, 300mg administered and Jakamchotang injection perfused group on perfusion(p<0.01), but was not significantly in Jakamchotang 300mg administered group only on reperfusion(P<0.05) Conclusion : According to the result above, Jakamchotang have an effect to recover in the isolated perfused rat hearts. Especially, the effect of Jakamchotang in orally adminstered group is greater than that of Jakamchotang injection perfused group on preischemia. The followings are the two important results of this study: First, the effect of Jakamchotang used traditionally on heart disease was proved statistcally under the Langendorff apparatus. Second, on the basis of this study, the effect of other type medications on myocardial ischemia can be evaluted in further studies.

  • 배경: 태아심장수술이 가능하려면 심폐우회술 시 태반혈류의 유지가 가장 중요하다. 태반 혈관의 수축으로 인한 혈류 감소는 태아에 심한 저산소성 손상을 초래한다. 본 연구에서는 태반혈관 수축 억제를 위한 인도메타신과 완전 척추 마취가 태반 혈류에 미치는 영향을 테스트하였다. 대상 및 방법: 제태기간 120∼150일 되는 20마리의 태아양을 정중흉골절개하에 주폐동맥과 우심방에 각각 12 G, 14∼18 F 크기의 도관을 삽관하여 30분 동안 심폐우회술을 시행하였다 어미양은 케타민 정주를 이용한 전신마취를 시행하였고 태아양에 대하여는 근육이완제만을 사용하였다. 심페우회술은 바이오펌프(Bio-pump, Bio-Medicus 회사제, 미국)와 태반을 산화기로 이용하여 시행하였다. 대조군은 태반을 산화기로 사용하여 체외순환만을 시행하였고(10마리), 실험군은 완전 척추 마취와 인도메타신을 전처치한 후 같은 방법으로 체외순환을 시행하였다 시간 경과에 따른 태아혈역학 및 동맥혈가스소견, 태반혈류 변화를 측정하였다. 결과: 태아양의 평균체중은 3.5 $\pm$ 1.3 (2.2 ∼ 5.2) kg이었다. 대조군에서는 심폐우회 시작 직후 평균 44.7 mmHg에서 14.4 mmHg로 급격한 혈압 강하가 관찰되었고 이때 측정한 혈류는 74.3∼97.0 $m\ell$/kg/min 였다. 동맥혈 가스 소견 역시 동맥혈 이산화탄소분압치가 61.9∼129.6 mmHg이었으며 체외순환 정지 후에는 심실세동으로 혈역학 측정이 불가능하였다. 실험군에서는 심폐우회 시작 직후 혈압이 30∼45.8 mmHg로 의미있게 높게 유지되었다. 태반 혈류는 78.8∼120.2 $m\ell$/kg/min로 대조군보다 높았다. 같은 시간대에 측정한 동맥혈 이산화탄소 분압치는 평균 59.1∼92.3 mmHg였으며 체외순환 정지 후에는 대조군보다 덜 급격하게 심기능 저하를 보여 평균동맥압이 27.3 mmHg였다. 결론: 연구자 등은 본 연구를 통하여, 30분간 심폐우회술을 실시하면서 인도메타신 전처치와 완전 척추 마취군에서 의미있는 태반혈류개선을 관찰하였으나 임상적용이 가능한 태반혈류의 유지에는 어려움을 겪었다. 향후 태아심폐우회술과 관련된 기술적인 측면에서의 개선, 인도메타신 용량의 조절, 순환회로의 최소화, 체외순환을 위한 우회펌프의 개선 등 태아 체외순환의 수정에 관한 지속적인 연구가 요구된다.

  • 배경: HTK 용액은 우수한 심근보호 효과를 나타내는 것으로 알려져 왔다. HTK 용액은 비교적 낮은 농도의 칼륨으로 심정지를 유도하고, 저농도의 나트륨을 함유하며, 혈액보다 우수한 완충능을 제공하는 생물학적 완충제인 histidine을 다량 포함하는 것이 특징이다. HTK 용액의 심근보호 효과는 우수하여 1회 주입으로 상당한 시간(120분) 허혈로부터 심근을 보호한다고 보고되었다. 이 연구는 두 가지 다른 심근온도(10∼12$^{\circ}C$, 22∼24$^{\circ}C$)하에서 심근 허혈이 120분을 초과할 때 HTK 용액의 심근보호 효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 체중 300∼340 g의 Sprague-Dawley계 흰쥐의 심장을 적출 하여 Krebs-Henseleit용액으로 100 cm $H_2O$의 압력으로 관류시켰다. 안정화 후에 심박동수, 좌심실내압, 관 관류량을 측정하였다. 상행대동맥을 통하여 HTK 용액을 1회 주입 후 적출 심장을 각기 다른 4가지 방법으로 보존하였다. 제1군(n=10)은 10∼12$^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 2시간, 제2군(n=10)은 22∼24$^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 2시간, 제3군(n=10)은 10∼12$^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 3시간, 제4군(n=10)은 22∼24$^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 3시간 보존하였다. 보존을 끝낸 후 적출 심장을 다시 관류 장치에 연결하여 재관류 후 15분, 30분, 45분에 각 각 심박동수, 좌심실내압, 관 관류량을 측정하였다. 미세구조 변화를 평가하기 위하여 심근을 생검하여 사립체 점수를 측정하였다. 결과: 심박동수는 제1군과 2군, 제1군과 3군의 비교에서 차이가 없었다. 제4군에서 재관류 후 15분에서 심박동수가 제1군에 비하여 유의하게 감소하였으나(p<0.05 by ANCOVA), 30분, 45분에서 심박동수는 회복되었고 제1군과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 좌심실내압은 제4군에서 재관류 후 15분, 30분, 45분에서 제1군에 비해 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.001 by ANCOVA). 관 관류량은 제4군에서 재관류 후 15분, 30분, 45분에서 제1군에 비해 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.001 by ANCOVA). 미세구조 변화의 평가에서 심근의 평균 사립체 점수는 제1군 1.02$\pm$0.29, 제2군 1.52$\pm$0.26, 제3군 1.56$\pm$0.45, 제4군 2.22$\pm$0.44였다. 걸론: HTK 용액은 2시간의 심근 허혈에 대하여 심근 온도에 관계없이 우수한 심근보호 효과를 나타내나, 허혈시간이 2시간을 초과하면 심근의 혈역학적 기능과 미세구조의 변화는 중등도의 저온(22∼24$^{\circ}C$)에서 유의하게 악화되었다. 이 같은 결과로 볼 때 심근 허혈시간이 2시간을 초과한다면 심근 온도를 낮추어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

  • 대동맥류 질환에 사용되는 스텐트그라프트의 체외실험을 위한 대동맥류 혈류 팬텀의 유효성과 실현가능성에 대해 평가하고자 한다. 팬텀은 인체의 혈류 조건과 유사한 상황을 재현할 수 있도록 심장부분과 대동맥류 부분으로 구성되었다. 심장부분은 고압력 수중펌프와 솔레노이드 밸브를 사용하여 심장의 대동맥 혈류를 재현하였고, 대동맥류 부분은 지점토를 사용하여 동맥류 모양을 재현하고 그 틀을 투명 실리콘으로 틀을 떠내는 방법으로 제작하였다. 두부분은 실리콘 관으로 연결하였다. 제작된 팬텀에서 밸브의 개폐 시간에 따른 압력(수축기/이완기) 변화를 측정하였으며, 스텐트그라프삽입술 전, 후의 압력변화를 측정하였으며, 통계적 유의성을 알아보았다. 밸브의 개폐 시간에 따른 압력 변화는 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 보였다(P<0.05). 0.5회/초의 개폐조건에서는 팬텀의 대동맥 근위부, 대동맥류, 원위부의 압력은 각각 $157.80{\pm}1.92/130.20{\pm}1.92$, $159.40{\pm}1.14/134.00{\pm}2.92$, $147.20{\pm}1.480/129.60{\pm}2.70\;mmHg$이었으며, 1.0회/초의 개폐 조건에서는 $161.40{\pm}1.34/90.20{\pm}1.64$, $175.00{\pm}1.58/93.00{\pm}1.58$, $176.80{\pm}1.48/90.80{\pm}1.92\;mmHg$이었고, 1.5회/초의 개폐 조건에서는 $159.40{\pm}1.82/127.20{\pm}1.48$, $166.60{\pm}1.67/138.00{\pm}1.87$, and $161.00{\pm}1.22/135.40{\pm}1.67\;mmHg$이었다. 스텐트그라프삽입술 전, 후의 팬텀의 압력변화는 대동맥부분에서 측정하였으며, 각각 $143.60{\pm}1.67/90.20{\pm}1.64$, $47.20{\pm}1.92/84.60{\pm}1.82$, and $137.40{\pm}1.52/88.80{\pm}1.64\;mmHg$이었다. 결론적으로, 대동맥류 팬텀은 압력의 범위를 다양하게 적용할 수 있고, 팬텀 내에서 시술의 재현이 가능하여 동물실험 전 스텐트그라프트의 유용성을 평가하기 위한 체외실험 기구로 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

  • 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.
