Polyacrylonitrile diagnostic membranes were prepared to measure blood glucose level of diabetics. Final absorbances at 680 nm through activated polyacrylonitrile membranes were measured at various concentration of glucose in plasma. The end-point results of K/S values obtained from the absorbances had a linear relationship toward the glucose concentration. The effect of temperature on the measurements of glucose concentration was studied. The stability of polyacrlonitrile diagnostic membranes was examined at RH 80%.

Objective : The purpose of this paper is to report the improvement of a patient who had a postpartum disease treated with herb medication based on Shanghanlun provisions. Methods : According to 'Disease Pattern Identification Diagnostic System based on Shanghanlun Provisions', the patient was diagnosed with TaeYang-byung, number 12 provision, and was administered herb medication for 4 months. Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) was used to estimate the patient's status. Results : The VAS changed 10 to 0. These results suggest that cold pain and weakness in the legs have improved. Conclusions : The patient had an experience of miscarriage 3 times and finally got a baby but with postpartum disease. She treated with the herb medication for 4 months and the outcome was found effective and economical due to the diagnostic system based on Shanghanlun provisions.

Objective : The objective of this study is to define the clinical meaning of Shanghanlun sentence by applying Shanghanlun disease pattern identification diagnostic system. Methods : 2 clinical cases, which were treated by Oreong-san according to Shanghanlun provisions dualized with Je-Gang(提綱) and Jo-Moon(條文), were analyzed. Results : According to the results of analysis of 2 cases, the patients' diseases were improved. The pain was decreased, and general weakness and anorexia were improved in 2 cases. Conclusions : These results suggests that the medicines from Shanghanlun are clinically effective when Shanghanlun is interpreted considering the origins of Chinese characters in the text, and Shanghanlun disease pattern identification diagnostic system is applied.

This paper presents a remote patient monitoring system for diagnostic pure-tone audiometry. A pure-tone audiometer was developed for basic hearing screening; its performance was evaluated according to international standards in terms of linearity, accuracy, and total harmonic distortion. Pure-tone audiometry has a maximum hearing level of 104.9 dB HL that is comparable with other commercial products. The audiometer shows satisfactory linearity with a deviation of ${\pm}0.4dB$, an accuracy of ${\pm}0.025%$, and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.21%. The remote patient monitoring systems include remote control devices based on wide area network (WAN) connections and an audiometer connected in series. Through experimentation, we successfully performed real-time diagnostic communication without delay in transferring audiometric data. This system is expected to supply domestic equipment in the audiometric market and to improve the quality of life of patients in non-clinical environments.

Objectives: This case study aimed to report the effect of Sihogyejigungang-tang (SGGT) on headache with dyspepsia based on the disease pattern identification diagnostic system (DPIDS) based on the Shanghanlun provisions. Methods: According to the DPIDS based on the Shanghanlun provisions, the patient was diagnosed with Greater Yang Disease Chest Bind and treated with SGGT. The results of treatment were evaluated by a numerical rating scale (NRS), the Korean Headache Impact Test (KHIT-6), and change in clinical symptoms. Results: After administering SGGT for 160 days, the NRS improved from 9 to 1 and the KHIT-6 improved from 70 to 44. No serious treatment-related adverse events were reported. Conclusions: This study shows the effective treatment of headache with dyspepsia using SGGT based on the DPIDS based on the Shanghanlun provisions.

It is not easy to regulate the amount of radiation used for the medical purpose as there usually is more good than harm to the patient's health and life caused by the medical exposure to the radiation. However, the rapid increase of the use of diagnostic radiation involves a high possibility of increasing the radiation hazard exposure. Therefore, it is imperative to implement effective regulations in order to secure the safety of diagnostic radiation. The one and only rule we currently have for the diagnostic radiation is "Medicine Act" with only one clause dedicated to regulate the safety management that does not include any rules for the medical radiation. A set of inclusive rules for the whole medical radiation inclusive of diagnostic radiation and therapeutic radiation need to be based on the "Medicine Act" rather than "Nuclear Safety Act" in order to protect the medical professionals, patients and the guardians of patients from the hazards of diagnostic and/or therapeutic radiation that was not used the purpose of medical treatment. If there is an administrative measure to be imposed to secure the safety of diagnostic radiation, it is considered as exertion of governmental authority of administrative agency. There must be clear and realistic legal guidelines for in-fringe on people's interests. The administrative measures for the safety management of the diagnostic radiation must be clearly and specifically based on the law and the detailed standards for the administrative measures must be dele-gated by the presidential decree or departmental ordinance. Accordingly, the restrictions imposed by the administrative measures to the "Safety Inspection Institute of Radiation along with Radiation Exposure Measuring Institutes" should have clear legal basis as well and the detailed standards for the administrative measures should be regulated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare decree instead of the notification by the Director of Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While securing the safety of radiation on one side, careful review and up-grade on our legal system for the safety management of the diagnostic radiation is required on the other side to guarantee the legality, interest balance and reliability of the administrative measures.

The global assessment system for medium voltage power cable systems has been developed The minimum purpose of diagnostic activity is the economic discrimination and maintenance of bad cables which is likely to cause cable system failure. I have adapted the Aging Time Constant Method to construct the power cable assessment system for the diagnostic purpose. From the field application test and breakdown test results, it could be concluded that the diagnostic system was successful art convenient for the discrimination and maintenance of the bad cables, which is likely to fail sooner or later, economically.

This paper outlines a framework for performing intelligent sensor validation for a diagnostic expert system while reasoning under uncertainty. The emphasis is on the algorithmic preprocess technique. A companion paper focusses on heuristic post-processing. Sensor validation plays a vital role in the ability of the overall system to correctly detemine the state of a plant monitored by imperfect sensors. Especially, several theoretical developments were made in understanding uncertain sensory data in statistical aspect. Uncertain information in sensory values is represented through probability assignments on three discrete states, "high", "normal", and "low", and additional sensor confidence measures in Algorithmic Sv.Upper and lower warning limits are generated from the historical learning sets, which represents the borderlines for heat rate degradation generated in the Algorithmic SV initiates a historic data base for better reference in future use. All the information generated in the Algorithmic SV initiate a session to differentiate the sensor fault from the process fault and to make an inference on the system performance. This framework for a diagnostic expert system with sensor validation and reasonig under uncertainty applies in HEATXPRT$^{TM}$, a data-driven on-line expert system for diagnosing heat rate degradation problems in fossil power plants.
