Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of metoprolol, a selective beta-l blocker, were examined for 360 minutes after intravenous bolus administration of metoprolol to 6 dogs. Plasma concentration and excreted amount in the urine metoprolol were measured by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. PR interval and heart rate were measured by ECG monitoring. Blood pressure was monitored through intraarterial catheter in femoral artery and cardiac output by thermodilution method using Swan-Ganz catheter. To analyze the effect site concentration-response relationship, plasma concentration and pharmacological effects were simultaneously fitted to a two pharmacokinetic compartment linked to pharmacodynamic model with NONLIN program. Results are as follows. 1) The plasma concentration of metoprolol after intrvenous injection decreased biexponentially. The terminal half-life estimated was $1.33{\pm}0.40$ hours and the volume of distribution at steady state (Vdss) and the total body clearance were $1.04{\pm}0.4\;L/kg,\;6.55{\pm}2.21\;L/hr$, respectively. The central compartment volume of distribution and peripheral compartment volume of distribution were $0.35{\pm}0.14L/kg\;and\;0.69{\pm}0.34L/kg$. The renal clearance and intercompartment clearance were $0.53{\pm}0.25\;L/min\;and\;0.35{\pm}0.19\;L/min$. 2) Simulated biophase concentration-response curve shows hyperbolic relationship and the estimated concentration-effect relationship was best explained by Emax model when the prolongation of PR interval and the reduction of the heart rate were used as pharmacodynamic parameters. Emax and EC50 were estimated to be $26.3{\pm}4.7\;msec\;and\;88.8{\pm}82.3\;g/ml$ for PR interval, and $48.7{\pm}18.8\;beats/min\;and\;113.5{\pm}78.7\;ng/ml$ for heart rate, respectively. 3) The changes of cardiac output-effect site concentration relationship was best fitted by a linear model and the slope of the relationship was $0.005{\pm}0.003$. Diastolic blood pressure-effect site concentration relationship was also explained by the linear model and the slope of the relationship was $0.038{\pm}0.034$.

We have developed a prototype patient monitoring system including module-based bedside units, interbed network, and central stations. A bedside unit consists of a color monitor and a main CPU unit with peripherals including a module controller. It can also include up to 3 module cases and 21 different modules. In addition to the 3-channel recorder module, six different physiological parameters of ECG, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, body temperature, and arterial pulse oximetry with plethysmogaph are provided as parameter modules. Modules and a module controller communicate with up to 1Mbps data rate through an intrabed network based on RS-485 and HDLC protocol. Bedside units can display up to 12 channels of waveforms with any related numeric informations simultaneously. At the same time, it communicates with other bedside units and central stations through interbed network based on 10Mbps Ethernet and TCP/IP protocol. Software far bedside units and central stations fully utilizes gaphical user interface techniques and all functions are controlled by a rotate/push button on bedside unit and a mouse on central station. The entire system satisfies the requirements of AAMI and ANSI standards in terms of electrical safety and performances. In order to accommodate more advanced data management capabilities such as 24-hour full disclosure, we are developing a relational database server dedicated to the patient monitoring system. We are also developing a clinical workstation with which physicians can review and examine the data from patients through various kinds of computer networks far diagnosis and report generation. Portable bedside units with LCD display and wired or wireless data communication capability will be developed in the near future. New parameter modules including cardiac output, capnograph, and other gas analysis functions will be added.

IEEE 802.15.6 표준 기술은 인체 내부 또는 근처에서의 근거리 저전력 무선 통신을 목적으로 제안되었으며, 대부분 맥박, 혈압, ECG, EEG 신호와 같은 인체 활력 징후(Vital Sign)를 데이터 형태로 전송하게 된다. 이러한 인체 활력 징후들은 대부분 실시간으로 전송되어야 하기 때문에 데이터 생성 후 허브 노드까지 전송이 완료되는 지연 시간이 중요한 성능 지표가 된다. 하지만 IEEE 802.15.6 표준 기술의 경우 데이터 재전송이 그 다음 수퍼프레임에 이루어지는 특징을 가지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문은 적응형 폴링 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 슬레이브 노드가 데이터 전송에 실패할 경우 허브 노드가 현 수퍼프레임 내에서 할당 가능한 시간 구간을 찾아 슬레이브 노드에 이를 할당하여 현 수퍼프레임 내에서 재전송이 이루어지도록 한다. 성능 분석을 통해 제안한 알고리즘이 기존 IEEE 802.15.6 표준 기술 대비 트래픽 양이 70%일 경우, 수퍼프레임이 10ms, 100ms일 때 약 61%, 73%씩 지연시간을 감소시켰다. 또한 제안한 알고리즘은 재전송으로 인한 과부하적(Bursty) 트래픽 전송 현상을 차단하는 효과도 가지고 있다. 제안한 적응형 폴링 알고리즘을 통해 시간 민감형 인체 활력 징후 트래픽은 심각한 지연 없이 전송될 수 있다.

Artesunate, a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin, is used primarily as a treatment for malaria. Its effects on the central nervous system, general behavior, and cardiovascular, respiratory, and other organ systems were studied using mice, rats, guinea pigs, and dogs. Artesunate was administered orally to mice at doses of 125, 250, and 500 mg/kg and to rats and guinea pigs at 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg. In dogs, test drugs were administered orally in gelatin capsules at doses of 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg. Artesunate induced insignificant changes in general pharmacological studies, including general behavior, motor coordination, body temperature, analgesia, convulsion modulation, blood pressure, heart rate (HR), and electrocardiogram (ECG) in dogs in vivo; respiration in guinea pigs; and gut motility or direct effects on isolated guinea pig ileum, contractile responses, and renal function. On the other hand, artesunate decreased the HR and coronary flow rate (CFR) in the rat in vitro; however, the extent of the changes was small and they were not confirmed in in vivo studies in the dog. Artesunate increased hexobarbital-induced sleeping time in a dose-related manner. Artesunate induced dose-related decreases in the volume of gastric secretions and the total acidity of gastric contents, and induced increases in pH at a dose of 400 mg/kg. However, all of these changes were observed at doses much greater than clinical therapeutic doses (2.4 mg/kg in humans, when used as an anti-malarial). Thus, it can be concluded that artesunate is safe at clinical therapeutic doses.

The gag reflex is a physiological reaction, but, an exaggerated gag reflex can be a severe limitation not only to treat dental caries but also to do oral exam. Procedures such as surface anesthesia of the palate and pharyngeral area, sedation, or general anesthesia can be options as behavioral management. But, there are no golden rule for the sever gag reflex patients. We present a case report of propofol intravenous sedation using TCI pump for simple dental treatment. A 44-year-old man, who had past history of general anesthesia for dental treatment because of severe gag reflex, was scheduled intravenous sedation for simple dental treatment. After 8 hour fasting he entered the clinic for persons with disabilities. We explained about intravenous deep sedation and got informed consent. First, we kept intravenous catheter (22G) in the arm and started monitoring ECG, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry and end-tidal $CO_2$ through nasal cannula. We started propofol infusion with TCI pump at the target concentration of 3 mcg/ml. The patient became sedated, but he showed involuntary movement during dental treatment, so we increased the target concentration to 4 mcg/ml. We finished the dental treatment without complications during 30 min. And after 40 min recovery room stay he was discharged without any complications.

In 1835,Schlesinger first described a case of subisthmlc lower thoracic aortic coarctation. Since Olim`s unsuccessful reconstructive surgery in 1949 and Beattie`s first successful resection with homograft replacement on such a lesion in 1951 were reported,about 20 cases of atypical aortic coarctation had been treated by definitive surgery until 1964. In Korea, only 2 cases of atypical aortic coarctation treated by bypass graft were reported until now. This is the third case-report treated by reconstructive surgery. The patient,11 year old girl who had 2 year history of headache, visual weakness, intermittent claudlcation, and general weakness, was first diagnosed of having the hypertension due to atypical coarctation by the findings of high blood pressure[170/110mmHg] at the upper extremity and weak pulsation on both femoral artery,murmur on the epigastrium, absence of aortic knob, and aorto graphy. Aortography demonstrated the isolated segmental narrowing[length 5cm, diameter 0.4cm] at the level of aortic hiatus 2cm above celiac arterial origin, the dilated right 9th, 10th, 11th intercostal arteries with multiple dimunitive collaterals and no associated abnormalities in the other arteries. Preoperatlve positive findings were strong positive mantoux test, high AST[720 units]. transient mild cardiomegaly with right lung infiltration on chest X-ray and suggestive left ventricular hypertrophy on ECG. On December 1970, through separate left thoracotomy and abdominal approach, bypass graft between descending thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta below renal artery was performed. The operation was first successful with satisfactory reduction of hypertension on the upper trunk[postoperatlve 130/80mmHg] and strong pulsation on the lower extremities[postop. O, postop. 140/100mmHg]. However,6 weeks after surgery, she expired of sudden hemoptysis and shock due to anastomotic leak within the thorax. Operative finding disclosed that the affected aorta was firm, with rich periaortic fibrosis and the outer diameter of stenotic site was not attenuated. Histopathology of the resected specimen was also compatible with primary arteritis.

Radioimmunoassay for the measurement of plasma renin activity (PRA) was performed in 43 normal Koreans and 45 patients with essential hypertension. Plasma samples were drawn in supine position in the morning and after upright posture for 4 hours. Urinary sodium excretion rates were measured in the concurrent 24 hour urine samples, as an index of their sodium balance. The results were as follows: 1. There was an inverse correlation between 24hr sodium excretion and PRA. The normal values of PRA in supine position ranged from 1.0 to 7.0 ng/ml/hr. when 24 hour sodium excretion were between 50 to 150 mEq. PRA in elderly tended to be low. 2. When stimulated by 4 hour upright posture, PRA increased by 2.6 times from the baseline value. 3. Of the 45 patients with essential hypertension, PRA was low in 10 cases (22.2%), normal in 28 cases (62.2%), and high in 7 cases (15.6%). 4. In the normal and high renin groups, who tended to be younger in ages, mean diastolic blood pressure and BUN were higher than in low renin group. Though hypertensive retinopathy and left ventricular hypertrophy in ECG were more prevalent in the former, no significant differences were noted as in the case of serum cholesterol. 5. There were 8 cases of cardiovascular complications (7 with cerebral vascular accident, 1 with myocardial infarction); 3 in low renin group (30%), 2 in normal renin (7.1%) and 3 in high renin group (42.9%). This figure indicated higher rate of cardiovascular complications in high renin groups, and lower rate in normal renin group. But the incidence of the complication was not significantly low in low renin group.

심장혈관 신호에 있어서 단기간의 beat-to-beat 변이(variability)에 대한 여러 연구에서 선형 분석기법들이 사용되었다. 그러나 단기간 beat-to-beat 변이에 대해 선형기법 사용의 타당성에 대한 연구나 선형과 비선형 특성을 비교한 연구는 수행되지 않았다. 본 논문의 목적은 단기간 beat-to-beat 변이의 비선형성 특성을 조사함으로써 선형기법 사용의 적절함을 증명하고자 한다. 이를 위해 선형 ARMA와 비선형 신경망(NN) 모델을 사용하여 예측을 수행하였는데, 과거의 순시 심박(HR)과 평균 혈압(BP)으로부터 현재의 심박과 혈압 예측을 상호 비교하였다. 이러한 예측모델을 평가하기 위해 MIMIC 데이터베이스로부터 HR와 BP 시계열을 사용하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 신경망에 의한 비선형성은 단기간 beat-to-beat 변이를 생성하는 시스템 동특성을 나타내는데 의미있는 역할을 하지 못하였으며, 이 사실은 ARMA 선형 분석기법이 이러한 시스템 동특성을 나타내는데 적절함을 보여주고 있다
