본 연구는 섭입대 환경에서 다양한 액체들과 제올라이트와의 반응을 이해하기 위한 선행단계로, 섭입대 내 대표 제올라이트 중 하나인 스틸바이트(NaCa₄(Al₉Si₂₇)O₇₂·28(H₂O))의 압축거동을 관찰하였다. 물과 NaHCO₃ 용액을 매개체로 사용하였으며, 상압에서 최대 2.5 GPa까지 가압하였다. 1.0 GPa 이하에서는 두 실험 모두 0.001~0.004 GPa^-1 범위의 낮은 선형압축률과 220(1) GPa의 높은 체적탄성률을 보였다. 이는 물분자 또는 양이온이 스틸바이트의 채널 내부로 유입되면서 구조가 매우 치밀해졌기 때문으로 추측된다. 반면, 1.0 GPa 이상에서는 두 실험의 경향이 다르게 관찰되었다. 물의 실험에서는 c축, NaHCO₃의 실험에서는 b, c축의 선형압축률이 모두 0.006(1) GPa^-1으로 급격하게 증가하였다. 체적탄성률은 물과 NaHCO₃의 실험에서 각각 40(1), 52(7) GPa의 값을 보여, 1.0 GPa 이전과 비교했을 때 압축률이 4배 이상 높아졌다. 이는 1.0 GPa 이상의 압력에서 압력매개체 내 물이 얼기 시작하면서 스틸바이트 내부로 유입이 멈추었고, 단지 채널 내에서 양이온 및 물분자가 이동함에 따라서 생기는 현상으로 판단된다. 특히 NaHCO₃의 실험에서는 소듐 양이온이 치환됨에 따라 구조 내부의 분포가 달라졌을 것으로 추측되며, 이는 (001)과 (020)피크의 상대강도 비율이 물의 실험과 다른 경향으로 나타난 것을 근거로 예상해볼 수 있다.

지구 대기에 영향을 주는 거의 모든 인간활동과 자연현상을 수치적으로 담아내는 지구시스템모델은 기후 위기의 시대에 활용될 가장 진보한 과학적 도구이다. 특히 우리나라 기상청이 도입한 지구시스템모델인 Unified Model (UM)은 지구 대기 연구의 과학적 도구로써 매우 활용성이 높다. 하지만 UM은 수치 적분과 자료 저장에 방대한 자원이 필요하여 개별 연구자들은 최근까지도 기상청 슈퍼컴퓨터에만 UM을 가동하는 상황이다. 외부와 차단된 기상청 슈퍼컴퓨터만을 이용하여 모델 연구를 수행하는 것은 UM을 이용한 모형 개선과 수치 실험의 원활한 수행에 있어 효율성이 떨어진다. 본 연구는 이러한 한계점을 극복할 수 있도록 개별 연구자가 보유한 고성능 병렬 컴퓨터(리눅스 클러스터) 에서 최신 버전 UM을 원활하게 설치하여 활용할 수 있도록 UM 시스템 환경 구축 과정과 UM 모델 설치 과정을 구체적으로 제시하였다. 또한 UM이 성공적으로 설치된 리눅스 클러스터 상에서 N96L85과 N48L70의 두 가지 모형 해상도에 대하여 UM 가동 성능을 평가하였다. 256코어를 사용하였을 때, 수평으로 1.875° ×1.25° (위도×경도)와 수직으로 약 85 km까지 85층 해상도를 가진 N96L85 해상도에 대한 UM의 AMIP과 CMIP 타입 한 달 적분 실험은 각각 169분과 205분이 소요되었다. 저해상도인 3.75° ×2.5° 와 70층 N48L70 해상도에 대해 AMIP 한달 적분은 252코어를 사용하여 33분이 소요되는 적분 성능을 보였다. 또한 적분을 위해 사용된 코어의 개수에 비례하여 적분 성능이 향상되었다. 성능 평가 외에 29년 간의 장기 적분을 수행하여 과거 지상 2-m 온도와 강수 강도를 ERA5 재분석자료와 비교하였고, 해상도에 따른 차이도 정성적으로 살펴보았다. 재분석자료와 비교할 때, 공간 분포가 유사하였고, 해상도와 대기-해양 접합에 따라 모의 결과에서 차이가 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 슈퍼컴퓨터가 아닌 개별 연구자의 고성능 리눅스 클러스터 상에서도 UM이 성공적으로 구동됨을 확인하였다.

1991-2020년의 30년 동안 봄철(3-5월)에 북극-동아시아 지역의 지표면 부근 대기 온난화가 북극 진동에 따라 한국의 서울에서 발생하는 황사 사례일의 종관 기상 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 북극-동아시아 지역의 봄철 온난화 증가는 한국의 서울에서 황사 사례일을 6일을 감소시켰고, 황사 사례일의 PM₁₀ 질량 농도도 -1.6 ㎍ m^-3yr^-1으로 강도를 약화시키는데 기여하고 있었다. 2010년대 한국에서 감소하고 있는 황사 사례일에 대한 동아시아 지역의 종관 기상 특성은 음(-)의 잠재소용돌이도(Potential Vorticity Unit; PVU)로 나타나는 고기압성 활동이 증가하고 있었다. 또한, 한국에서는 음(-)의 북극진동지수(Arctic Oscillation Index; AOI)에서 황사 사례일이 증가하고 양(+)에서는 감소하는 정적 편포를 보였다. AOI가 음(-)인 황사 사례일에서는 중국 대륙에 온난한 고기압이 강화되고 있었다. 더불어 한대 제트의 중심 위치가 북쪽으로 이동하면서 몽골과 중국 북부에서는 한대 기단의 남하에 의한 저기압성 활동이 약해지고 있었다. 황사의 발생이 감소하였을 뿐 아니라 발원지로부터 한국으로 황사를 수송하는 풍속이 감소하고 있었다. 반면, AOI가 양(+)인 황사 사례일에서는 중국 대륙에 광역적으로 온난하고 정체적인 고기압이 위치하고 있었으며, 한대 제트의 북쪽이 더욱 냉각되어 있었다. 몽골-중국 북부-한국에 이르는 지역에서 하층 대류권의 현저한 풍속 감소가 황사 발생을 감소시킬 뿐 아니라 장거리 수송을 약화시키는 원인이 되는 것으로 보인다.

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.

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.

선형가속기를 기반으로 하는 세기조절방사선치료와 정위적방사선수술에서는 치료계획시스템의 소조사면에 대한 신뢰할만한 선량분포를 계산하기 위해서는 우선적으로 소조사면의 정확한 빔 자료 측정이 선행되어야 한다. 특히 소조사면의 빔 자료 측정에서 조사면 가장자리에서의 급격한 선량 변화, 측면 전자비평형, 그리고 검출기의 체적 영향으로 인한 적절한 검출기 선택이 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선형가속기의 소조사면에 대한 빔 자료 측정에 있어서 검출기의 선량 특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 검출기는 0.01 cc 부피와 0.13 cc 부피의 이온전리함과 정위적다이오드를 사용하였으며, 빔 자료는 광자선(6 MV와 15 MV)에 대하여 조사면 크기를 $2{\times}2cm^2$에서 $5{\times}5cm^2$까지 변화시켜 각 검출기를 이용하여 깊이선량백분율, 선량출력계수, 그리고 빔측면도를 측정하였다. CC01 이온전리함과 정위적다이오드 검출기를 이용한 $PDD_{20}/PDD_{10}$은 $2{\times}2cm^2$ 조사면의 경우 6 MV와 15 MV에서 각각 1.02%와 0.12% 차이를 보였다. $3{\times}3cm^2$ 이상의 조사면에서는 각 검출기를 이용하여 얻어진 $PDD_{20}/PDD_{10}$의 차이가 6 MV와 15 MV에서 각각 평균 1.15%와 0.71% 이였다. CC01 이온전리함과 정위적다이오드 검출기를 이용한 선량출력계수 측정 결과, $2{\times}2cm^2$ 조사면의 경우 6 MV와 15 MV에서 0.5%와 1.5%이내에서 일치하였다. $3{\times}3cm^2$ 이상의 조사면에서는 각 검출기의 차이가 0.5% 이내이였다. 3개의 깊이에서 측정된 빔측면도의 반음영은 정위적다이오드 검출기의 경우 6 MV와 15 MV에서 각각 평균 2.7 mm와 3.5 mm, CC01 이온전리함의 경우 각각 평균 3.4 mm와 4.3 mm, CC13 이온전리함의 경우 각각 평균 5.2 mm와 6.1 mm이였다. 이를 통해 깊이선량백분율과 선량출력계수 측정 시 $2{\times}2cm^2$ 조사면에서는 CC01 이온전리함과 정위적다이오드 검출기를 $3{\times}3cm^2$에서 $5{\times}5cm^2$ 조사면에서는 각 검출기의 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 소조사면에 대한 정확한 빔측면도의 반음영을 측정하기 위해서는 유효체적이 작은 CC01 이온전리함과 정위적다이오드 검출기 사용하는 것이 타당하겠다.

전통적으로 심근 생존능을 식별하고 심근 관류를 정확히 평가하기 위한 도구로 핵의학영상이 이용되고 있으나 경색영역을 정의하기에는 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 극성지도의 분포를 분석하여 특성에 맞는 적응적 임계값을 이용하여 심근경색 모델을 정량적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 쥐 심근경색 모델은 왼쪽 관상동맥을 결찰시켜 제작하였다. 소동물PET 영상은 37 MBq $^{18}F$-FDG를 쥐의 꼬리정맥에 주사한 후 60분 섭취 후 Siemens Inveon SPECT/PET 스캐너를 이용하여 20분 동안 ECG 신호와 함께 획득하였고, OSEM 2D 알고리즘을 이용하여 재구성하였다. PET 영상의 심근 극성지도는 Siemens QGS 소프트웨어에 적합한 형식으로 변환 후 자동으로 심근 벽을 설정하여 작성하였다. 심근경색영역의 기준데이터는 TTC 염색으로 설정하였으며 전체 좌심실대비 염색된 영역의 백분율로 획득하였다. 최적의 임계값 설정을 위해 절대치 설정 방법, Otsu 알고리즘, 다중가우시안혼합모델(Multi Gaussian mixture model, MGMM)을 이용하여 평가하였다. 절대치 설정 방법은 10~90%까지 10%단위로 미리 정의 된 임계값을 이용하였고, Otsu 알고리즘은 영상 내에서 두 군집의 분산을 최대로 하는 임계값으로 설정하였다. MGMM 방법은 영상의 화소 강도를 분석하여 여러 개의 가우시안 분포함수(MGMM2, $\cdots$ MGMM4)로 반복 수행하여 최적의 가우시안 분포를 구하여 적응적 임계값을 설정하였다. 극성지도 평가지표는 각각의 알고리즘에서 측정된 임계값을 이용하여 이진화하고 전체 극성지도와 경색영역의 백분율로 획득한 후, TTC 염색으로 획득된 기준데이터와의 차이를 비교하였다. 그 차이는 절대치 방법의 20%에서 $7.04{\pm}3.44%$, 30%에서 $3.87{\pm}2.09%$, 40%에서 $2.15{\pm}2.07%$이었다. Otsu 방법은 $3.56{\pm}4.16%$이었으며 MGMM 방법은 $2.29{\pm}1.94%$이었다. 소동물 PET 극성지도에서는 30% 임계값이 조직학적 데이터와 비교하여 가장 작은 차이를 보였다. 그러나 TTC 염색으로 측정한 크기가 10% 이하에서는 MGMM 방법이 절대치 방법보다 작은 차이를 보였다(MGMM: 0.006%, 절대치방법: 0.59%). 이 연구에서는 심근경색 모델 평가를 위하여 생체영상 극성지도에서 다중가우시안혼합모델을 이용하여 평가하고자 하였다. MGMM은 사용자의 선택 없이도 자동적으로 영상 특성을 고려하여 적응적 임계값을 찾아주는 방법으로 극성지도에서 심근경색을 평가하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Out of a total of 58 species of helminthic and protozoan parasitic infections in Korea, so far 38 species were reported as intestinal parasites of man. Quite a few species of the intestinal parasitic infections have long been prevalent throughout the country and this has been a significant public health problem. In this paper, current status and transition of the intestinal parasitic infections in the past years were presented. Chronological reviewing of data show background and prospects of change in the prevalence of infections. In the national prevalence survey on parasitic infections conducted once every five years since 1971, stool examinations were done by both cellophane thick smear and brine flotation techniques. Every egg positive case of Ascaris lumbricoides and Clonorchis sinensis was further examined by Stoll's dilution egg counting technique. In 1981, perianal swab using adhesive cellulose tape was added for Enterobius infection. For protozoan cyst examination conducted by province and city in '81, fecal specimens were fixed in SAF solution and examined by the formalin-ether concentration technique. High prevalence of parasitic infection in ana before the 1960s can be easily understood from the data given by the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs in 1967. From a parasite control point of view, the 1960s was the preparatory period particularly for control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis. Several organizations which have contributed to parasite control were founded in this period and the prevention law of parasitic infections was passed in '66. In the '70s, overall prevalence rates of the common intestinal parasitic infections, which were highly prevalent in the past were turned into reduction phase for the first time. The '80s can be said to be an active control period of parasitic infections. Intestinal helminths According to the reports of the national prevalence survey on parasitic infections, the prevalence of helminthic infections was 84.3%(number of person examined:24,887) in '71, 63.2%(27,178) in '76, and 41.1%(35,018) in '81. By area, the prevalence rate in '81 was 35.1%(20,569) in urban areas and 49.6%(14,447) in rural areas. Intestinal nematodes Ascaris lumbricoides The prevalence of Ascaris infection has decreased significantly in recent years. Among students, the prevalence was 55.4%, in '69 and decreased to 4.7% in '83. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence decreased to 13.0% in '81 from 54.9% in '71. By area, the prevalence decreased to 8.5% in '81 from 46.4% in '71 in urban area and 19.4% in '81 from 59.6% in '71 in rural area. By age, the prevalence has become in recent years relatively even in all age groups, although higher prevalence used to be seen in young age groups of around 10 years old, particulary in the highly prevalent rural areas. By sex, the prevalence was higher in the female than in the male. Unfertilized egg positive rates among the ascariasis cases increased gradually up to 55.4% on the average in '81. The intensity of the infection was also significantly decreased. Trichuris trichiura Trichuris infection had also decreased to 23.4% in '81 from 65.4% in '71. By area, the decreasing tendency of the prevalence became faster in urban areas than in the rural areas. The prevalence in urban and rural areas in '71 was 69.7%, and 63.1% respectively and decreased to 19.5% and 29.0% respectively in '81. By age, the prevalence reached a peak at the 10-14 age group and showed relatively even distribution throughout all age groups. By sex, the prevalence was close in young age groups, but in the 30s or over age group, especially in rural area, the prevalence was significantly higher in the female than in the male. The prevalence has much fluctuated depending in the area. The prevalence in rural areas surveyed in the '80s shows a range between 20.9% and 73.7% by locality. It is anticipated that the prevalence of Trichuris infection will drop more rapidly, when mass treatment is conducted. Hookworms Hookworm infection by mostly Ancylostoma duodenale and a few by Necator americanus has decreased to a negligible levels in recent years. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence was 10.7% in '71, 2.2% in '76, and 0.5% in '81. The prevalence was higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Wide application of multi-specific anthelminthics in the ascariasis control programmes conducted in the past decade appear to have been effective against hookworm infection. Trichostrongylus orientalis As in the case with hookworm infection, the prevalence of Trichostrongylus infection has reached a negligible levels. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence was 7.7% in '71, 1.0% in '76 and 0.2% in '81. Enterobius vermicularis In the national prevalence survey in '81, the egg positive rate was 12.0%. Higher prevalence is expected when examined repeatedly. The prevalence rate was 10.3% in urban area and 14.6% in rural area. In recent surveys conducted in rural areas among schoolchildren, the prevalence was 32.4% in Gimhae Gun in '82 and 64.1% in Yeongyang Gun in '83. By age, the egg positive rate was higher in young age groups of around 10 and sharply decreased in age groups of around 20 and then somewhat increased again in middle age groups. By sex, the prevalence was higher in the female than in the male. Strongyloides stercoralis Strongyloides stercoralis infection has rarely been found in Korea. Three cases were reported in 1914. And 0.1-0.5% were found infected out of 2,642 persons examined at the prisoner-of-war camp on Geojedo in 1956. One case was reported in '54 and '82, respectively. Anisakis spp. No systematic survey has been conducted for anisakiasis In Korea. So far, only several cases have been found 1 case in Seoul in '71, 5 cases in Busan in '81 and 1 case in Busan in '84. Intestinal trematodes Metagonimus yokogawai In the national prevalence survey conducted in 1981, the egg positive rate was 1.24% on the average. High endemic areas are located in the southwestern part of Korea. The prevalence in Hadong Gun was 29.1% on the average in '79. In a survey conducted in 76, the prevalence was 44.0% in Gwangyang, 55.0% in Gogseung and 29.0% in Gurye. The infection is closely correlated with raw sweetfish consumption in these areas. Other intestinal trematodes A human case of Heterophyes heterophyes was reported in 1914. Several species were reported in the '80s : 17 cases of Fibricola seoulensis, 9 cases of Pygidiopsis summa, 8 cases of Heterophyes heterophyes nocens, 1case of Heterophyopsis continua, 2 cases of Stellantchasmus falcatus, 1 case of Stictodora sp., 1 case of Echinostoma hortense, and 4 cases of Echinochasmus japonicus. As the intermediate hosts, snakes and frogs play a role for F.seoulensis and fish for the rest of the species. Intestinal cestodes Taenia saginata and T. solium Egg positive rates in the national prevalence survey were 0.7% in '76 and 1.1% in '81. The prevalence in '81 was 0.6% in urban area and 1.8% in rural area. The proglottid positive rate in Jeju Do was 19.2% on the average. On Udo, Jeju Do in 1983, the egg positive rate among the inhabitants was 2.9%. Hymenolepis nana In the national prevalence survey, egg positive rates were 0.6% in '76 and 0.4% in '81. No difference was seen in the prevalence by area and sex. Hymenolepis diminuta Infected cases were reported : 3 in '64 and I in '66. Egg positive rate in '81 was 0.01% in the national prevalence survey. Diphylobothrium latum So far, about 30 cases have been reported. The cases have been reported more frequently in recent surveys. Mesocestoides sp. A case was reported from a hospitalized patient in Seoul in '67. Spirometra erinacei Two cases were reported in '84 following reidentification of the adult worms collected in '74. Intestinal protozoa Out of a total of 23 species of human protozoan infections in Korea, 13 species were reported as intestinal protozoa : Entamoeba histolytica, E coli, Endolimax nana, Iodamoeba b$\ddot{u}$tschlii, Dientamoeba fragilis, Giardia lamblia, Chilomastix mesnilii, Embadomonas sp., Enteromonas hominis, Trichomonas hominis, Isospora belli, I. Hominis(Sarcocystis hominis), and Balantidium coli. Since the first report on intestinal protozoan infections in 1925, there have been quite a few survey data on the prevalence of the infection. It was found reviewing the data chronologically that up to the early '70s the infection was prevalent around a 30-50%. After that, the protozoan cyst positive rate has shown the tendency of gradual decrease throughout the country. Protozoan cyst survey conducted in Seoul and several provinces in 1981 revealed infection rates of 8.9%(1,310) in Gangweondo, 10.7%(1,703) in Gyenggi Do, 11.7%(1,032) in Jeonra Buk Do, 9.1%(4,116) in Jeonra Nam Do, and 1.4%(5,275) in Seoul. Entamoeba histolytica In the survey conducted by province in '81, the cyst positive rate was 0.8% in Gangweon-do, 0.3% in Gyeonggi Do, 1.4% in both Jeonra Buk Do and Jeonra Nam Do, and 0.2% in Seoul. Giardia lamblia In the survey by province in '81, cyst positive rates were 2.2% in both Gyeonggi Do and Jeonra Buk Do, 1.9% in Jeonra Nam Do, 0.5% in Gangweon Do, and 0.9% in Seoul. Balantidium coli Two cases were reported. One in 1930 and the other in '74. Isospora belli and I. Hominis(Sarcocystis hominis) Isospora belli was reported : 1 case in '56 and 3 cases in '66. I. Hominis, recently identified to be synonymous with Sarcocystis hominis, was reported : 3 cases in '66. Other intestinal protozoa The protozoan parasites other than the above mentioned are generally treated as commensal, although some of them are considered to be pathogenic. The data of '81 show that about 10% of the inhabitants are still infected with protozoa.

본연구는 1972년에 수원에서 그리고 1973년에는 다시 수원, 매리 및 이리 광주의 3개 지역에서 경질 소맥인 NB 68513, Caprock와 중간질 소맥인 영광, 연질 소맥인 수계 169호를 공시하여 시비량 및 재배시기를 각각 3수준의 처리를 두어 등숙 및 품질의 변화에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 한편 1973년 및 1974년에는 수원에서 중간질 소맥인 영광과 경질 소맥인 NB 68513을 공시하고 온실에서 온도, 습도 및 일사량을 달리하여 이들이 소맥의 등숙과 품질에 미치는 영향을 추구하였으며, 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 소맥립의 등숙: 1) 1립중의 변이폭은 대립종이 소립종에 비하여 크고, 립중별 소맥립의 분포는 대립종이 평균치에 가까이 분포된 율이 높았고, 소립종은 넓은 분산을 보였다. 2) 립중의 증가에 미치는 립장, 립후 및 립폭의 영향의 정도는 립장보다 립후와 립폭이 컸다. 3) 등숙 시기별 립중의 변화에 있어서 영광은 개화후 14일부터 35일까지, NB 68513은 14일부터 28일까지에 급증하였고, 대립종인 영광은 소립종인 NB68513에 비하여 등숙기간이 길었으며 배란비율도 완만한 증가를 보였다. 4) 1000립중은 대체로 저온에서보다 고온에서, 다습보다 건조한 공중습도 조건에서 가벼웠고, 저온이나 고온에서라도 다습 조건하에서는 무거운 경향을 보였다. 또한 서광의 영향은 저온에서보다 고온에서 컸으며, 다습한 경우에는 일정한 경향이 없었다. 5) 등숙기간중 온도, 습도 및 서광의 영향은 소립종인 NB 68513보다 대립종인 영광에서 컸으며, 1000립중의 증감과 등숙일수 간에는 높은 정의 상관이 있었다. 6) 1000립중과 1$\ell$중은 시비량의 증가에 따라 무거워졌으나, 보비와 다비구간에는 그 증가율이 비교적 낮았고, 조숙재배는 만파재배보다 무거웠으며, 이와 같은 경향은 수원에서 현저하였고 광주 및 이리에서는 미미하였다. 2. 제분성: 7) 동일 품종에서 1000립중이 무겁게 나타난 저온다습 조건 및 조숙재배가 고온, 건조, 조건 및 만파재배에 비하여 제분율이 높았고, 지역간 차이는 일정한 경향이 없었다. 8) 제분율은 영광이 가장 높고 수계 169호가 가장 낮았으며, 경질 소립종인 Caprock, NB 68513은 연질 소립종인 수계 169호보다 높았다. 9) 회분 함량은 지역, 시비량 및 재배시기에 따른 차이는 작았고, 품종간 차이는 컸으며, NB 68513 및 Caprock는 영광 및 수계 169호보다 현저히 높았다. 3. 단백질 함량: 10) 단백질 함량은 1000립중이 가벼웠든 고온, 건조 및 서광 조건에서 저온, 다습 조건에서보다 높았으며, 이러한 경향은 영광에서 현저하고 NB 68513에서 적었다. 11) 종질의 단백질 함량은 개화후 1~2주일 사이에 높았는데, 이는 배란에 대한 배와 종피의 비율이 크기 때문이었고, 등숙이 진전됨에 따라 배, 종피의 영향은 감소되며, 달서 단백질 함량도 감소되었으나 개화후 3~4주부터는 다시 단백질함량이 증가되어 개화후 7주에 최대에 달하였다. 등숙 중기(개화후 3~4주) 이후의 단백질함량 증가는 대체로 1000립중의 증가와 비슷하였으나, 성숙된 종실의 단백질 함량의 증감은 등숙기간의 장단의 영향보다는 역일상에 따른 기상적 환경, 특히 기온에 의한 영향을 많이 받은 것으로 보였다. 12) 소맥분의 단백질 함량은 종실의 단백질 함량의 변화와 같아서 이 양자간에는 높은 정의 상관이 있었다. 13) 단백질 함량은 각 품종 모두 시비량이 증가할수록, 또 재배시기가 늦어질수록 증가하는 경향이었고, 수원에서는 광주, 이리에서보다 그 경향이 현저하였다. 14) 품종별로 존 단백질 함량은 영광, NB 68513 및 Caprock은 비슷하였으며 비교적 높았고, 수계 169호는 낮았는데 이 품종은 재배법에 따른 단백질 함량의 변이도 적었다. 15) 단위 면적당 단백질 수량은 시비량이 많을수록, 재배시기가 빠를수록 높은 경향이었고, 조숙재배에서는 질소질 비료의 이용율이 높았으며, 영광은 시비량 증가에 따른 단백질 수량 증가가 비교적 컸다. 4. 분의 물리화학적 특성: 16) Sedimentation value는 저온, 다습, 소비 조건에서보다 고온, 건조, 다비 조건에서 컸고, NB 68513 및 Caprock는 그 경향이 현저하였는데 영광 및 수계 169호는 뚜렷하지 않았었고, 광주, 이리보다는 수원에서 Sedimentation value의 변이가 컸다. Sedimentation value의 증감은 단백질 함량의 증감과 관계가 깊으나, 다습조건에서는 Sedimentation value가 감소되었다. 한편 Sedimentation value는 단백질 함량의 증가에 따라 증가되었으며, 성숙기에 최대에 달하였다. 17) Pelshenke value는 재배방법 및 지역 간의 차이가 Sedimentation value의 경우와 대체로 같은 경향을 보였다. 18) Mixing time은 NB 68513이 4~6분, Caprock가 5~7분 소요되었으며, 영광 및 수계 169호는 NB 68513 및 Caprock보다 지역 및 재배법에 따른 변이가 컸다. Mixing height와 Mixing area는 NB 68513 및 Caprock에서 컸고 영광 및 수계 169호에서는 작았으며, 재배방법에 따른 변이는 일정한 경향이 없었고, 지역에 따른 차이는 이리, 광주에서 낮고 수원에서 높았다. 19) NB 68513 및 Caprock의 품질에 있어서 제분성은 고온, 건조 조건, 또는 다비, 만파재배에서 떨어졌으나 분의 물리화학적 특성은 양호하여 제빵 적성이 좋고, 조숙재배는 물리화학적 특성이 다소 불량하였으나 제분성이 높고 단위 면적당 단백질 수량인 높은 경향이었다. 지역간에서 보면 이리, 광주보다는 수원이 NB 68513 및 Caprock의 재배에 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 5. 분의 물리화학적 특성의 상호관계: 20) 제분율 및 회분함량과 분의 물리화학적 특성과는 직접적인 상관이 없었으며, 1000립중이 가벼운 것이 단백질 함량이 높았고 분의 물리화학적 특성도 양호하였다. 21) NB 68513 및 Caprock에 있어서 단백질 함량과 Sedimentation value, Pelshenke value 및 mixing height와는 정의 상관이 있었으며, 단백질 함량이 높으면 분의 Gluten strength도 강하고 따라서 제빵 적성도 양호하였다. 영광 및 수계 169호에 있어서는 단백질 함량과 Sedimentation value와는 정의 상관이 있으나 Pelshenke value와 Mixing height와는 상관이 없었다. 따라서 단백질 함량 증가에 따라 Gluten strength 양자와 연결됨이 크고, Pelshenke value와 Mixogram은 Gluten strength와 연관됨으로 경질과 연질의 품종 구분에는 Mixogram, Pelshenke value의 검정이 유리하고, Sedimentation valuer검정은 같은 품종내에서 재배법 차이에 따른 품질 평가에 알맞은 것으로 보았다.
