이 연구의 목적은 경피적 혈관내 풍선 확장술이나 스텐트 삽입술에서 Balloon이나 Stent의 직경 및 길이를 예측 할 때 사용되는 정량적인 평가 도구인 Calibration Mode중 Catheter Calibration Mode, Auto Calibration Mode 그리고 Segment Calibration Mode에서의 오차율에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. Calibration의 정량적인 평가를 위해 정교하게 제작된 직경 × 길이(2 mm × 80 mm) Copper Wire와 5, 10, 15, 30, 40 mm의 Metal Ball을 이용하여 실험하였고, 아크릴 팬텀은 25 mm, 50 mm, 75mm, 100 mm, 125 mm, 150mm, 175 mm, 200 mm로 하여 각각의 높이에서 혈관조영 촬영장치로 Subtraction 영상을 획득하여 장비 회사에서 제공하는 소프트웨어인 Stenosis Analysis Tools을 이용하여 측정하였다. Catheter Calibration Mode에서의 오차율을 평가하기 위한 방법으로 Copper Wire를 각각의 아크릴 팬텀위에 올려놓고 촬영하였으며, Copper Wire 직경 2 mm를 Catheter의 직경으로 Setting하였고, 길이 8 mm Copper Wire의 길이를 Multi-segments로 측정하여 분석한 결과 1.13 ~ 5.63%의 오차율이 나타났다. Auto Calibration Mode에서의 오차율을 평가하기 위한 방법으로 각각의 아크릴 팬텀을 높이에서 아크릴 높이에 대한 수치를 입력하고, 8 mm Copper Wire의 길이를 Multi-segments 측정하여 분석한 결과 0 ~ 0.26%의 오차율이 나타났다. Segment Calibration Mode에서의 오차율을 평가하기 위한 방법으로 테이블 바닥에 있는 각각의 Metal Ball을 각각 Calibration하고, 각각의 아크릴 팬텀 위에 올려 있는 8 mm Copper Wire의 길이를 측정하여 아크릴 팬텀 높이 변화에 대한 8 mm Copper Wire 길이를 Mutli-segments 측정하여 분석한 결과 1.05 ~ 19.04%의 오차율이 나타났다. 그리고 Auto Calibration Mode에서 OID 변화에 대한 실험은 아크릴 팬텀의 높이는 100mm로 고정하고 OID만 450 mm ~ 600 mm로 변화를 하였을때 오차율은 0.13 ~ 0.38%로 나타났다. 결론적으로 소프트웨어에서 제공하는 정량적인 혈관의 치수평가를 하기 위한 이들 Calibration Mode 중 Auto Calibration Mode에서 높이 값을 입력하는 것이 오차율이 가장 적은 Calibration 방법임을 확인하였으며, Metal ball이나 기타 다른 물체를 이용하여 Calibration을 하기 위해서는 시술부위와 동등한 높이에 놓고 Calibration을 하는 방법이 오차율을 가장 줄일 수 있는 방법으로 사료된다.

This is to study the accuracy of the actual size according to the TOD(table object distance; TOD) change when measuring blood vessels using angiography equipment, and to help the optimal selection of the device used accordingly. Balls similar to the size of common vessels were calibrated with TOD using 30 mm, 20 mm, 10 mm, 5 mm and acrylic phantoms, catheter calibration from 0 cm to 10 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm, respectively. It was measured whether there was a change in the measured value according to the change. The equipment used was GE Innova 3131 IQ equipment, and the image reconstruction method was GE AW4.7 post processing program. Two radiotechnologists were scanned three times by catheter calibration method and 3DRA(3dimension rotational angiography; 3DRA) volume rendering method. The independent sample T-test showed 0.981 (p> 0.05) to verify the significance between the two observers. As a result, in case of catheter calibration, the error rate at TOD 0 mm and 10 mm is within ± 10%, but when the TOD is changed to 20 mm and 50 mm respectively, the tolerance is ± 10% except for 30 mm ball exceeded. On the other hand, 3DRA was included within the tolerance range of ± 10% overall even when the TOD was changed from 0 mm to 50 mm. In the catheter calibration method, the larger the TOD, the larger the error range, and the 3DRA method was able to measure vascular vessels accurately close to the actual measurement without any consideration of the TOD.

Urodynamic study system is widely used for neurogenic bladder patients in various clinical setting. Generally they include 2 pressure sensors from bladder and rectum, and 1 EMG sensor. The rectal pressure catheter is often the source of data error because of gas passage and the fall out of the catheter from anus, and source of discomfort in ambulatory urodynamic system. This study is to design and calibrate the ambulatory digital urodynamic study system that can discard the rectal pressure catheter, which can make patients more comfortable and doctors can get more physiologic data. As a first step, we compared our new system with Dantec $Duet^{(r)}$ urodynamic system (Dantec, Denmark) and wanted to see the possibility of our new system.

심장 혈관 협착증 환자의 경우 수술후 재협착을 방지하기 위하여 혈관내 방사선 조사를 실시하여 혈관내벽의 세포증식을 억제하는 방법이 시도되고 있다. 이를 위해 여러 가지 방사성 동위원소가 사용되고 있지만 한국원자력연구소에서 생산되는 Ho-166 도 그 중의 하나의 원소이다. 따라서 이 Ho-166 을 이용하여 혈관내 방사선조사를 할 경우 선량분포를 측정해 보았다. 혈관 내벽을 방사선 조사하는 방법은 풍선 혈관 카테터를 혈관내에 위치시키고 풍선 안에 액체 상태인 Ho-l66 동위원소를 채우고 일정시간 머물게 함으로써 시행된다. 선량분포를 측정하기 위하여 Solid water phantom 과 방사선 흡수선량에 따라 현상기에 현상을 하지 않아도 바로 필름 흑화도 변화를 볼 수 있는 GafChromic Film 을 사용하였다. 필름 흑화도 측정은 Videodensitometer를 이용하였으며 Co-60 빔에 검교정된 GafChromic 필름의 흑화도로 부터 풍선 혈관 카테터 안에 있는 Ho-166 동위원소에 의한 선량분포플 측정하였다. 먼저 Co-60 빔을 이용한 GafChromic Film 의 calibration curve를 얻었다. 흡수선량 대 필름 흑화도 곡선 (H-D curve)은 직선을 이루지 않았으며 이는 densitometer에 쓰이는 광원으로 부터 짐작되는 결과이다. H-D 곡선을 이용하여 Ho-l66이 채워진 풍선 혈관 카테터로 부터의 거리에 따른 선량분포를 얻었으며 카테터 표면으로 부터 1 mm 떨어진 거리에서의 선량은 풍선 표면에서의 약 20% 정도 였으며 5mm 떨어진 거리에서는 풍선 표면 선량의 약 1% 정도로 급속히 떨어짐을 볼 수 있었다. 혈관내 방사선 조사시 중요한 것은 혈관 내 벽에는 원하는 만큼의 방사선량을 주어야 하지만 주변의 정상조직에는 최소한의 손상을 유지해야 하므로 선량분포가 동위원소로 부터 떨어졌을 때 급속히 감소해야 한다는 것이다 따라서 이와같은 이유 때문에 베타선 방출 핵종 들이 많이 시도되고 있으며 동위원소 Ho-l66 도 혈관내벽 방사선조사를 위한 하나의 좋은 핵종으로 이용할 수 있다.

Constituents of animal biofluids such as milk, blood and urine contain information specifically related to metabolic and health status of the ruminant animals. Some changes in composition of biofluids can be attributed to disease response of the animals. Mastitis is a major problem for the global dairy industry and causes substantial economic losses from decreasing milk production and reducing milk quality. The purpose of this study was to investigate potential of NIRS combined with multivariate analysis for cow's mastitis diagnosis based on NIR spectra of milk, blood and urine. A total of 112 bulk milk, urine and blood samples from 4 Holstein cows were analyzed. The milk samples were collected from morning milking. The urine samples were collected before morning milking and stored at -35$^{\circ}C$ until spectral analysis. The blood samples were collected before morning milking using a catheter inserted into the carotid vein. Heparin was added to blood samples to prevent coagulation. All milk samples were analyzed for somatic cell count (SCC). The SCC content in milk was used as indicator of mastitis and as quantitative parameter for respective urine and blood samples collected at same time. NIR spectra of blood and milk samples were obtained by InfraAlyzer 500 spectrophotometer, using a transflectance mode. NIR spectra of urine samples were obtained by NIR System 6500 spectrophotometer, using 1 mm sample thickness. All samples were divided into calibration set and test set. Class variable was assigned for each sample as follow: healthy (class 1) and mastitic (class 2), based on milk SCC content. SIMCA was implemented to create models of the respective classes based on NIR spectra of milk, blood or urine. For the calibration set of samples, SIMCA models (model for samples from healthy cows and model for samples from mastitic cows), correctly classified from 97.33 to 98.67% of milk samples, from 97.33 to 98.61% of urine samples and from 96.00 to 94.67% of blood samples. From samples in the test set, the percent of correctly classified samples varied from 70.27 to 89.19, depending mainly on spectral data pretreatment. The best results for all data sets were obtained when first derivative spectral data pretreatment was used. The incorrect classified samples were 5 from milk samples,5 and 4 from urine and blood samples, respectively. The analysis of changes in the loading of first PC factor for group of samples from healthy cows and group of samples from mastitic cows showed, that separation between classes was indirect and based on influence of mastitis on the milk, blood and urine components. Results from the present investigation showed that the changes that occur when a cow gets mastitis influence her milk, urine and blood spectra in a specific way. SIMCA allowed extraction of available spectral information from the milk, urine and blood spectra connected with mastitis. The obtained results could be used for development of a new method for mastitis detection.

Objective: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition of unknown etiology associated with venous sinus stenosis. This study aimed to develop a magnetic resonance venography (MRV)-based radiomics model for predicting a high trans-stenotic pressure gradient (TPG) in IIH patients diagnosed with venous sinus stenosis. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 105 IIH patients (median age [interquartile range], 35 years [27-42 years]; female:male, 82:23) who underwent MRV and catheter venography complemented by venous manometry. Contrast enhanced-MRV was conducted under 1.5 Tesla system, and the images were reconstructed using a standard algorithm. Shape features were derived from MRV images via the PyRadiomics package and selected by utilizing the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method. A radiomics score for predicting high TPG (≥ 8 mmHg) in IIH patients was formulated using multivariable logistic regression; its discrimination performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). A nomogram was constructed by incorporating the radiomics scores and clinical features. Results: Data from 105 patients were randomly divided into two distinct datasets for model training (n = 73; 50 and 23 with and without high TPG, respectively) and testing (n = 32; 22 and 10 with and without high TPG, respectively). Three informative shape features were identified in the training datasets: least axis length, sphericity, and maximum three-dimensional diameter. The radiomics score for predicting high TPG in IIH patients demonstrated an AUROC of 0.906 (95% confidence interval, 0.836-0.976) in the training dataset and 0.877 (95% confidence interval, 0.755-0.999) in the test dataset. The nomogram showed good calibration. Conclusion: Our study presents the feasibility of a novel model for predicting high TPG in IIH patients using radiomics analysis of noninvasive MRV-based shape features. This information may aid clinicians in identifying patients who may benefit from stenting.

$5HT_{2C}$ receptor among fourteen 5-HT subtypes plays important roles in several disorders such as depression, anxiety, epilepsy, schizophrenia and sleep disorders. The purpose of the study is to investigate pharmacokinetic parameters and bioavailability of a newly synthesized selective agonist of $5-HT_{2C}$ receptor, KOPC-20010 (KP10) in rats after intravenous and oral administration for the development of therapeutic anti-obesity agents. KP10 was administered orally (40 mg/kg) or intravenously (20 mg/kg), blood was collected via a catheter, and analyzed by GC/MSD. The calibration curve of KP10 in plasma and urine showed high linearity ($r^2$ >0.999). The retention times of KP10 in plasma and urine were 8.7 and 9.7 min, respectively. After oral administration of 40 mg/kg, pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated as follows; $C_{max}$ value was $1242.9{\pm}1195.5$ ng/mL at $1.1{\pm}0.6$ hr ($T_{max}$). $AUC_{0->24hr}$ and $AUC_{0>{\infty}}$ were $8034.2{\pm}960.7$ and $10464.1{\pm}681.5\;ng{\cdot}hr/mL$, respectively. The terminal half-life was $21.9{\pm}7.6$ hr. $AUC_{0->24hr}$ and $AUC_{0>{\infty}}$ were $4292.4{\pm}523.0$ and $6111.2{\pm}756.2\;ng{\cdot}hr/mL$, respectively, after 20 mg/kg of intravenous administration. The terminal half-life after intravenous administration was $25.1{\pm}9.4$ hr. Bioavailability of KP10 was determined to 86%. The excretion amount into the urine within 48 hr was approximately 4.7 to 6.7% of the dose administered. These data may be beneficial to the anti-obesity drug development of KP10.
