  • Since cryogens are stored at very low temperatures, the cryogenic storage systems are quite sensitive to heat leaks. Even though the vessel operated under sealed condition with vacuum insulation and reflective coatings are used, the heat leakage into the vessel is still unavoidable. Therefore, this paper concerns with numerical study of self-pressurization used to analysis the optimum design with the variation volume fraction, effect of heat flux and storage pressure of liquid nitrogen. The result shows that as the volume fraction increases, the pressure rise reduces and the relatively at atmosphere pressure is better than the higher one. In addition, higher heat flux leads the pressure rise increases faster than low one. The additional of heat pipe system to reduce the pressure rise rate also has been done. By this comparison, the optimum design for storage umbilical cord blood can be selected.

  • Objectives: Exercise with partially restricted blood flow is a low-load, low-intensity resistance training regimen which may have the potential to increase muscle strength in the obese, elderly and frail who are unable to do high-load training. Restricted blood flow exercise has also been shown to affect blood vessel function variably and can, therefore, contribute to blood vessel dysfunction. This pilot study tests the hypothesis that unilateral resistance training of the leg extensors with partially restricted blood flow increases muscle strength and decreases vascular autoregulation. Methods: The subjects were nine normotensive, overweight, young adult African-Americans with low cardiorespiratory fitness who underwent unilateral training of the quadriceps' femoris muscles with partially restricted blood flow at 30% of the 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) load for 3 weeks. The 1-RM load and post-occlusion blood flow to the lower leg (calf) were measured during reactive hyperemia. Results: The 1-RM load increased in the trained legs from $77{\pm}3$ to $84{\pm}4 kg$ (P < 0.05) in the absence of a significant effect on the 1-RM load in the contralateral untrained legs (P > 0.1). Post-occlusion blood flow decreased significantly in the trained legs from $19{\pm}2$ to $13{\pm}2mL{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}dL^{-1}$ (P < 0.05) and marginally in the contralateral untrained legs from $18{\pm}2$ to $16{\pm}1mL{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}dL^{-1}$ (P = 0.09). Changes in post-occlusion blood flow to the skin overlying the trained and the contralateral untrained muscles were not significant. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that restricted blood flow exercise, which results in significant gains in muscle strength, may produce decrements in endothelial dysfunction and vascular autoregulation. Future studies should determine whether pharmacopuncture plays a role in treatments for such blood vessel dysfunction.

  • Objectives : This study focused on how the modem blood vessel is defined in Oriental medicine through literary investigation. Methods : Contents from 35 classical texts representing each era were analyzed for the expression of Hyeolmaek and affiliate information, as well as terms used for the current concept of blood vessel. Results : Following results were obtained through investigating literary information on Hyeolmaek. 1. In the Yellow Emperor's Classic, Hyeolmaek is associated with heart and widely used for physiological, pathological, diagnosis, and treatment purposes. 2. During the Song Dynasty, a term Cheonggeun (靑節). is used to describe the vein in the abdomen. 3. During the Ming Dynasty, terms such as Cheonggeun(靑節) and Cheongmaek(靑脈) were used. 4. The term Hyeolmaek was used inclusively for blood, blood vessels, arteries, veins, and as well as meridians.

  • Radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula(RC-AVF) is the most recommended operation of achieving access for hemodialysis. However, it has high rates of early failure depending on the many haemodynamic conditions. To increase RC-AVF patency rate, many researches were performed by in-vitro experiment via artificial vessel and blood analogue fluid, and there were conflicting opinions about whether the non-Newtonian properties of blood have an influence on the flow in large arteries. To investigate the influence of viscoelasticity of blood within the RC-AVF, we fabricated three dimensional artificial RC-AVF and two kinds of blood analogue fluid. The velocity field of two fluids within the vessel were measured by micro-particle velocimetry(m-PIV) and compared with each other. The velocity profiles of both fluids for systolic phase were matched well while those for diastolic phase did not correspond. Therefore, it is desired to use non-newtonian fluid for in-vitro experiment of RC-AVF.

  • 당뇨망막증은 망막의 말초혈관에 순환장애가 일어나 발생하는 당뇨병의 합병증으로, 이를 진단하기 위하여 미세혈관류를 분할하였다. 기존 필터와 특징을 사용한 혈관분할은 두꺼운 혈관은 비교적 잘 분할을 하나, 미세한 혈관에 대해서는 정확도가 떨어진다는 단점이 있다. 그리하여 전처리로 노이즈 제거를 위한 필터, 영상 대비를 위한 히스토그램 평활화를 사용하였으며, 픽셀 단위 분할을 위해 딥러닝 기법을 이용하였다. 기존 방법의 정확도는 90% ~ 94%이며, 제안한 방법의 정확도는 95%이다. 결과 영상에서 시신경 유두 및 삼출몰 주변에서 분할 오류가 나타나는 문제점이 있으나, 이는 네트워크 깊이가 얕음에 의한 오류로 향후 네트워크 변경을 통해 정확도를 개선할 수 있다.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop hydrolysate from silkworm (Cudrania Silkworm Fibroin Peptide; CSFP), a food containing components for improving blood vessel health. In general, Cudrania tricuspidata leaves contain about 5 times more rutin and 25 times more dihydroquercetin than mulberry leaves. 1-Deoxynojirimycine (1-DNJ), dihydroquercetin and rutin inhibit the activity of carbohydrate-digesting enzymes, inhibit blood lipid peroxidation, and regulate insulin secretion, which helps blood vessels to be healthy. When the diet-controlled silkworm was enzymatically hydrolyzed, it was confirmed that rutin content was about 8 times higher than that of the in general silkworm as a control. In the silkworm hydrolysate, CSFP, developed as a final food material, the active ingredients were 65 mg/kg for rutin, 3,328 mg/kg for DNJ, 0.43 mg/kg for dihydroquercetin, and 82,624 mg/kg for total polyphenol, which was confirmed through LC-MS/MS analysis. In conclusion, it was found that silkworms fed with C. tricuspidata leaves as a diet had more active components that can help control blood sugar and improve blood vessel health than silkworms fed with mulberry leaves.

  • 최근 수년 동안 의료영상에서 혈관의 추출 및 재구성에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 오고 있으며 망막혈관 구조의 분석은 망막에 관련된 환자의 진단 및 치료에 중요한 정보를 제공하여 왔다. 본 연구에서는 ICG(Indocyanine Green) 기술에 의해 촬영된 망막영상에서 전체 망막혈관을 자동으로 추적하는 알고리즘을 제안한다 본 알고리즘은 각 혈관의 기울기크기 단면도(profile)로부터 국부적 최대점들(local maxima)과 처리방향을 평가하여 혈관의 외형과 중심을 추출하며, 국부적 최대점들의 방향성분을 비교하여 혈관의 분기점 및 교차점을 감지한다. 본 알고리즘을 환자의 ICG 망막영상에 적용하여 전체혈관이 자동으로 재구성되었으며 정확성과 연결성이 우수하다는 점을 실험결과로 제시하였다.

  • 동맥경화 상태에서는 혈관이 수축물질에 예민하게 반응함으로써 혈압의 급격한 변화에 대한 회복능력이 저하한다. 한편 뽕나무 잎에는 고지방식의 섭취로 인해 발생하는 동맥경화증의 발달을 감소시킬 가능성이 있는 여러 물질이 있다고 추정된다. 뽕나무 잎을 백서에 투여하면 고지방식에 의해 유발된 혈관이 예민해지는 현상을 감소시킬 수 있는지 시험하기 위하여 고지방식 및 뽕나무잎을 8주간 투여하고 혈관수축 물질에 대한 혈압의 반응성을 시험하였다. 순환기반사에 따른 혈압반응 감수성차이를 최소화할 목적으로 동물의 중추신경계를 파괴(pithing)하고 시험하였다. 고콜레스테롤을 함유한 식이를 공급한 백서에서 교감신경계 전기자극이나 norepinephrine, phenylephrine, angiotensin II 및 vasopressin 등의 투여로 유발된 혈압상승반응이 증강되었으며, 사료에 뽕잎을 2% 또는 10% 첨가하면 정상적인 혈압상승반응을 보여주었다. 교감신경계를 파괴하지 않은 채 마취만 한 백서에서는 고콜레스테롤에 의한 반응증강이나 뽕잎에 의한 변화를 관찰할 수 없었다. 이 결과로 부터 뽕잎이 동맥경화에서 나타나는 혈관반응성 변화를 방지하는 데 유용한 것으로 판단할 수 있을 것이다.
