  • The Sembilan Archipelago is famous for its great biodiversity, in which the humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus) (locally named Napoleon fish) is the primary commodity (economically important), and currently, the environmental degradation occurs due to anthropogenic activities. This study aimed to examine the eco-environmental parameters and assess their influence on the abundance of humphead wrasse and other coral reef fish compositions in the Sembilan Archipelago. Direct field monitoring was performed using a visual census throughout an approximately one km transect. Coral cover data collection and assessment were also carried out. A coastal water quality index (CWQI) was used to assess the water quality status. Furthermore, statistical-based analyses [hierarchical clustering, Pearson's correlation, principal component analysis (PCA), and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA)] were performed to examine the correlation between eco-environmental parameters. The Napoleon fish was only found at stations 1 and 2, with a density of about 3.8 Ind/ha, aligning with the dominant composition of the family Serranidae (covering more than 15% of the total community) and coinciding with the higher coral mortality and lower reef fish abundance. The coral reef conditions were generally ideal for supporting marine life, with a living coral percentage of about > 50% in all stations. Based on CWQI, the study area is categorized as good and excellent water quality. Of the 60 parameter values examined, the phytoplankton abundance, Napoleon fish, and temperature are highly correlated, with a correlation coefficient value greater than 0.7, and statistically significant (F < 0.05). Although the adaptation of reef fish to water quality parameters varies greatly, the most influential parameters in shaping their composition in the study area are living corals, nitrites, ammonia, larval abundance, and temperature.

  • 본 연구는 1998년 5월 진해만의 저서동물 군집분석을 통하여 진해만 저서환경의 오염 정도를 파악하기 위해서 수행되었다. 진해만 내에 모두 67개 정점을 선정하여 퇴적물 입도 조성과 저서동물상을 조사하였다. 주요 표층 퇴적상은 silty clay, clay로 지역별 차이가 크지 않았다. 전체 저서동물의 평균 서식밀도는 984개체/$m^2$이었고, 총 255종이 채집되었다. 가장 우점하는 동물군은 다모류로 총 90종이 채집되었고, 평균 773개체/$m^2$의 서식밀도를 보였다. 대체적으로 진해만의 서쪽 해역은 저서동물상이 빈약한 반면, 만 입구와 가덕도 사이의 수로역은 높은 서식밀도를 나타내었다. 우점종은 다모류, Lumbrineris longifolia(16.9%), Tharyx sp.(6.7%), Chone teres(4.7%), Glycinde sp.(4.2%), 이매패류 Theora fragilis(4.0%), 갑각류 Corophium sp.(4.0%) 등의 순으로 나타났다. 주요 우점종은 동쪽 입구 수로역에서 집중적으로 출현하였다. 종 조성과 출현개체수에 근거한 집괴분석의 결과 진해만은 모두 3개의 정점군, 즉 마산만 입구역과 진해만의 서쪽 해역(정점군 A), 만의 중앙해역(정점군 B), 가덕도와 거제도 사이의 외해역(정점군 C)으로 구분되었다. 3개 정점군 중 진해만의 서쪽해역을 포함하는 정점군 A의 저서동물 출현종수 및 평균서식밀도가 가장 낮았고, 만 중앙해역인 정점군 B가 가장 높은 서식밀도를 보였다. 섭식유형군별 출현비율에 의한 BPI값과 유기물 집적에 대한 내성/민감도에 근거하여 구분한 생태그룹별 출현비율에 의한 BC값은 서로 유사한 경향이었다. 두 지수 모두 내만역에서 높은 오염도를 나타내었고, 비교적 유속이 빠른 동쪽 입구 수로역과 외해역에서 낮은 오염도를 나타내었다. 진해만의 저서동물 서식밀도는 과거에 비해 큰 변화가 없거나 소폭 감소한 것으로 볼 수 있었다. 진해만에서 출현한 상위 우점종의 종조성은 과거에 비해 큰 변화는 없었으나 오염지시종이나 기회종의 출현비율이 다소 증가한 것으로 볼 수 있었다. BC값에 근거하여 진해만을 오염 구배에 따라 구분해 본 결과, 유속이 빠르거나 외해의 영향을 받는 일부 해역을 제외한 대부분의 해역이 모두 중간정도의 오염 지역(meanly polluted site)으로 분류할 수 있었으며, 특히 일부 내만역의 오염도는 심각한 수준(heavily polluted site) 이었다.

  • 동해안 지역에서 발생되는 대형 산불의 원인은 건조주의보, 영동지역에서 불어오는 강한 바람, 소나무의 단순림, 임도 유무와 상태 등을 들고 있다. 이러한 이유로 2000년 동해안 산불로 삼척시는 전체 피해면적의 약 70%인 17,000ha 이상의 산림이 소실되었다. 이후 삼척의 산불 피해지역은 인공복원와 자연복원을 구분하여 식생 분석을 통해 산림복원(회복) 정도를 파악하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다. 조사 대상지인 삼척 검봉산 일대는 기존 소나무가 우점하는 곳으로 2001년 복원을 위해 소나무, 곰솔, 굴참나무 등을 조림하였고, 일부는 자연복원을 하였다. 복원 이후 21년 지난 현재 삼척 검봉산 일대 산불피해 복원지역의 식생은 크게 굴참나무-소나무군락, 소나무-신갈나무군락, 곰솔-소나무 군락으로 나누어지는 것으로 나타났다. 산불피해지 식생회복은 굴참나무, 소나무, 곰솔 등 조림으로 현재 식생은 산불발생 이전의 임상으로 회복되고 있다. 특히, 산불의 유형 중 지표화 피해지역은 하층 식생의 피해가 크다. 기존의 소나무는 결실된 종자를 비산하여 치수를 발생시켜 자연복원의 속도를 높이고 굴참나무를 활용한 인공복원은 맹아를 발달시켜 본인의 영역을 확장하는 전략을 지니고 있다. 단, 입지적 환경이 동일하다는 전제 조건에서 숲에서 재생 기작이 진행되는 자연 복원보다는 인공복원이 회복시간과 종다양성이 높은 측면에서는 효과적인 것으로 결론을 지을 수 있다. 한편, 산불 발생 초기 굴참나무 조림은 4년 이후 아교목층(4m 이상)까지 부피 생장을 하고 종자 발아에 따른 개체수도 늘어난 모습을 보였다. 현재 소나무와 굴참나무, 신갈나무 군락지 간 수관 경쟁으로 소나무가 도태되는 천이 촉진 현상을 보일 것으로 예상된다. 굴참나무-소나무군락은 교목층에서는 조림 수종인 굴참나무가 높은 상대우점치를 나타내고 있지만, 아교목층은 자연 이입종인 신갈나무와 산불 이전 우점종인 소나무가 높은 우점치를 나타내는 특징을 보였다. 소나무나 곰솔이 우점하는 군락에 비해 복원 후 자연 이입종인 신갈나무에 의한 우점도가 높아 향후 혼효림으로 발달할 것으로 보이며, 이후 신갈나무와 굴참나무가 우점할 것으로 예측된다. 소나무-신갈나무군락은 조림 수종인 소나무와 자연 이입종인 신갈나무가 경쟁하고 있는 군락이다. 기존 연구에 따르면 산불 지역의 자연 회복지는 초기에 신갈나무와 쇠물푸레나무가 우점하는 경향을 나타낸다고 하였으나, 본 군락은 교목층과 아교목층 모두 소나무가 우점하는 특징을 나타내었다. 이를 통해 산불 이전 식생이었던 소나무군락을 형성할 것으로 판단된다. 이처럼 동해안은 과거 헐벗은 상태로 장기간 노출된 곳으로 유기물층이 없는 곳이 많다. 또한, 이곳에 광물질 토양이 노출된 나지에 소나무 종자가 비산하여 발아되고 숲을 형성하게 되지만 토양 비옥도가 개선되지 못한다면 자연 천이가 아닌 소나무림으로 장기간 지속될 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 곰솔-소나무군락은 곰솔이 교목층과 아교목층 모두 우점하고 있다. 곰솔-소나무군락은 단순림으로 다른 조사지역과 비교할 때 종다양도가 낮은 특징을 나타내며, 경쟁 수종이 없어 곰솔-소나무림의 형태를 유지할 것으로 판단된다. 이는 산불이 수목의 전소된 상태에서 소나무림 하층에 싸리 등 단일종으로 우점되는 경향이 있어 종다양도가 낮으며, 토양면 노출이 심각하다. 특히, 여름철 집중 강우에 따른 표토 유실이 진행되어 매토종자와 같은 자연복원 보다는 인공복원으로 접근하는 것이 효과적이다. 이와 함께 급경사 지역이나 동해안 해안에 가까운 구릉성 지대에는 토양이 척박하기 때문에 향후 복원을 위한 식물종 선정 시 참나무류 보다는 소나무로 접근하는 것이 효과적이다. 본 연구는 산불 피해지역 복원지에 대한 식생 구조 특성을 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 전체적인 식생 구조 특성을 파악함에 있어 피해지와 참조생태계가 대변될 수 있는 비피해지(대조구) 식생 구조의 비교·분석과 같은 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 이를 통해 산불피해지의 지표화, 전소화 피해지 등 유형별 효과적인 복원사업과 시행착오를 줄이는 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 이 연구(硏究)는 목도열병(病)의 감염시기(感染時期)와 조직내(組織內) 감염속도(感染速度) 및 감염(感染)에 영향(影響)을 미치는 전염원(傳染源)의 소재(所在), 엽초내외의 제조건(諸條件) 등(等)을 구명(究明)하여 합리적(合理的)인 방제체계(防除體系)를 확립(確立)하는 자료(資料)를 얻고자 실시(實施)하였다. 1. 벼 이삭목도열병(病)의 감염(感染) 최성기(最盛期)는 수잉기(穗孕期)였으며 그 다음이 출수기(出穗期)로 이 시기(時期)에 대부분의 이삭목이 감염(感梁)되고 있었다. 그러나 통일계(統一系) 품종(品種)은 출수후(出穗後)에도 환경(環境)에 따라 높은 감염(感染) 가능성(可能性)을 갖고 있었다. 2. 벼 이 삭목도열병(病)의 잠복기간(潛伏期間)은 자연조건하(自然條件下)에서 10~22일(日)로 그 변동복(變動福)이 넓었다. 인공접종시(人工接種時) 이삭이 어릴수록 잠복기간(潛伏期間)은 짧았고 감염속도(感染速度)가 심(甚)했으나 지엽절(止葉節) 밖으로 추출(抽出)한 이삭목은 잠복기간(潛伏期間)도 길고 발병률(發病率)도 낮았으며 조직내(組織內) 감염속도(感染速度)가 늦었다. 3. 이삭목도열병(病)의 약제방제(藥劑防除) 적기(適期)는 도열병균(稻熱病菌)의 감염(感染) 최성기(最盛期)와 잠복기간(潛伏期間)을 고려(考慮)할 때 속효성(速效性) 약제(藥齊)는 출수(出穗)5~10일전(日前), 지효성(遲效性) 약제(藥齊)는 10~15일전(日前)으로 추정(推定)된다. 4. 도열병균(病菌) 포자(胞子)의 엽초내 침투(浸透)는 주(主)로 지엽(止葉)을 포함(包含)한 상위(上位) 3개엽(個葉)에서 이루어졌고 강우(降雨)나 이슬, 일액(溢液) 등(等)과 함께 엽초 봉합부(縫合部)에서 침윤현상(浸潤現象)에 의해 이루어졌으며 침투율(浸透量)은 수도(水稻)의 생육기간중(生育期間中) 수잉기(穗孕期)가 가장 많았다. 포자(胞子)의 엽초내 침투(浸透)는 엽설(葉舌)이 크게 저지(沮止)하고 있었다. 5. 엽초내에 침투(浸透)한 포자(胞子)의 이삭에의 부착량(附着量)은 형태적(形態的)으로 복잡(複雜)한 수수절(穗首節)과 수축절(穗軸節)이 가장 많았고 이에는 모용(毛茸)와 퇴화지경(退化枝梗)이 크게 영향(影響)을 미치고 있어 이들이 목도열병(病) 감염(感染)을 조장(助長)하고 있었다. 6. 벼 이삭목도열병(病) 감염(感染) 가능(可能) 포자농도(服子濃度)는 계통간(系統間) 차이(差異)가 있어 통일계(統一系) 품종(品種)은 일반계(一般系)보다 낮은 100개(個) 이하(以下)의 포자농도(胞子濃度)에서도 쉽게 감염(感染)이 되었으며 발병지수(發病指數)도 매우 높아 그 피해(被害)가 더욱 심(甚)했다. 7. 벼 이삭목도열병(病)과 상관(相關)이 높은 이삭목의 질소함량(窒素含量)과 규소함량(硅數含量)은 벼 생육기간(生育時期)에 따라 큰 차이(差異)가 있어 질소함량(窒素含量)은 수잉기(穗孕期)에서 출수기(出穗期)로 갈수록 증가(增加)를 보였고 그 후 다소(多少) 감소(減少)하고 있었다. 규소함량(硅數含量)은 수잉기(穗孕期)로부터 점차 증가(增加)하고 있어 이들 체내성분(體內成分)의 변화(變化)가 목도열병(病)의 발병(發病)을 조장(助長)하고 있었다. 8. 도열병균(稻熱病菌) 포자(胞子)의 비산(飛散)은 대다수 수직(垂直) 방향(方向)으로 상승(上昇)또는 하강(下降)하여 도체(稻體)에 부간(附看)하였으며 수평(水平)으로 이동(移動)하는 포자(胞子)는 극(極)히 적어 출수후(出穗後)의 이삭목에 부간(附看)하는 포자수(胞子數)가 적으므로 출수후(出穗後) 목도열병(病) 감염율(感染率)은 매우 낮을 것으로 추정(推定)되었다. 도체(稻體) 상하위간(上下位間)의 온도차(溫度差)에 의(依)한 공기(空氣)의 이동(移動)은 포자비산(胞子飛散)에 대(對)한 하나의 원인(原因)이었다. 9. 출온기(出穩期)를 전후(前後)한 포자비산(胞子飛散)이 가장 목도열병발병(病發病)과 상관(相關)이 높았으며 지엽(止葉)을 포함(包含)한 상위(上位) 3개엽(個葉)에 형성(形成)된 병반(病斑)이 출수(出穗)를 전후(前後)한 시기(時期)에 포자형성량(胞子形成量)이 많아 직접(直接) 목도열병(病) 전염원(傳染源)으로서 크게 작용(作用)하고 있었다. 10. 엽초내 환경조건(環境條件)은 목도열병(病) 감염(感染)에 극(極)히 호적(好適)하여 엽초내에서 도열병균(病菌)의 침해(侵害)를 받는 경우 품종(品種)의 내병성(耐病性), 시복수준(施服水準)의 차이(差異)에 관계(關係)없이 이삭목이나 지경(枝梗), 인, 마디, 마디사이 등(等) 도체(稻體)의 어느 부위(部位)라도 감염(感染)이 이루어졌다. 11. 엽초내에 침투(浸透)한 우고균(優古菌) 중에서 벼 갈색엽고병균(病菌)인 Gerlachia oryzae 만이 발병(發病)을 다소(多少) 조장(助長)할 뿐 기타(其他)의 균(菌)들은 영향(影響)이 적었으며 품종(品種)의 출수소요일수(出穗所要日數)의 장단(長短)이 목도열병(病) 감염(感染)과 관련(關連)이 있는 것으로 추정(推定)되었다.

  • 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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.
