The effects of ethanol intravenously administered on the mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate responses to electrical stimulation of vagus nerve and the hypothalamus were studied in the cats. Also investigated were the effects of ethanol on the cardiovascular responses to bilateral carotid occlusion and to intravenously injected epinephrine and acetylcholine separately. The results obtained from the present study were as follows; 1. In 1.0 ml/kg and 2.0 ml/kg of ethanol infused groups the mean arterial blood pressure increased gradually and reached plateaus in 10 minutes after ethanol infusion while no marked changes in blood pressure were observed in 0.5 ml/kg of ethanol infused group. 2. The pressor responses elicited by the electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus were depressed directly proportionally to amount of ethanol infused. In 0.5 ml/kg of ethanol infused group the pressor response was reduced to 84.5% of control value and it declined to 17.0% of control in 2.0 ml/kg of ethanol infused group. 3. After ethanol administration the heart rate decreased slightly and also was decreased positive chronotropic effect elicited by hypothalamic stimulation. In several cases even negative chronotropic responses were observed during electrical stimulation in the hypothalamus. 4. Since the pressor responses to bilateral carotid occlusion was reduced by ethanol administration it is suggested that activity of baroreceptor is inhibited by ethanol. 5. No changes were observed in the negative chronotropic effect Produced by electrical stimulation of the vegus nerve of ethanol infused animal. And cardiovascular responses to intravenously injected epinephrine and acetylcholine were not influenced by ethanol either.

Background: The new drug HP228 is a cytokine restraining agent with a broad spectrum of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activity. Six healthy, adult, male volunteers were studied to determine the independent and interactive effects of HP228 and morphine on pain perception. Methods: Two groups of stimuli were applied to each volunteers before drug administration as control, 20 min after morphine and HP228 administration, and 20 min after combined administration of these two drugs. Two adhesive electrically-conducting pads were applied on opposite sides of the arm approximately 8 cm apart. The electrode were connected to an electrical impulse generator and 50 Hz 1 msec pulses of incrementally increasing intensity were delivered at 1 sec intervals. The analgesic endpoints were the current intensity (mA) at which the subject first detected the stimulus (THRESH), the intensity at which the stimulus was first idenfied as being painful (PAIN), and the intensity at which the subject requested that the stimulus be terminated due to discomfort (LIMIT). A second series of stimuli were applied immediately thereafter using 1-sec duration 50 Hz tetanus pulses with increasing intensities at 2~5 sec intervals. Results: There were significant differences between drug treatments (Morphine, HP228, HP228/Morphine) and control (No drugs) in any of the measurements (PAIN, LIMIT) except THRESH with the twitch and tetanus test. Conclusions: The data suggests that HP228 is an analgesic, but it does not appear to interact with morphine in an additive manner.

In this paper, we developed an integrated miniaturized device which acquires and transmits the signal of ECG an interested heartbeat and body's temperature. Electrocardiogram(ECG) is a recording of the electrical activity on the body surface generated by heart. ECG & temperature measurement is collected by wireless sensor (for Ag/AgCl Thin-Film) placed at designated locations on the body. It is that dual wireless sensor will apply variously to Ubiquitous & Healthcare System.

심장의 활동을 기록한 심전도는 심장의 상태에 대한 가치 있는 임상 정보를 제공한다. 지금까지 심전도를 이용한 심장 질환 진단 알고리즘에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으나, 심장 질환에 대한 진단 결과의 부 정확성으로 인해 심전계에서는 외국의 진단 알고리즘을 사용하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 심전도 데이터의 수집에서부터 전 처리 과정 그리고 데이터마이닝을 이용한 심장 질환 패턴 분류 기법을 제안한다. 이 패턴 분류기법은 빈발 패턴 베이지안이며 기존의 나이브 베이지안과 빈발 패턴 마이닝의 통합이다. 빈발 패턴 베이지안은 훈련단계에서 탐사된 빈발 패턴들을 사용하여 Product Approximation 구성하므로써 클래스 조건 독립 가정을 가진 나이브 베이지안의 단점을 해결한다.

In this study, we developed a feasible structure of a textile-based inductive sensor using a machine embroidery method, and applied it to a non-contact type vital sign sensing device based on the principle of magnetic-induced conductivity. The mechanical heart activity signals acquired through the inductive sensor embroidered with conductive textile on fabric were compared with the Lead II ECG signals and with respiration signals, which were simultaneously measured in every case with five subjects. The analysis result showed that the locations of the R-peak in the ECG signal were highly associated with sharp peaks in the signals obtained through the textile-based inductive sensor (r=0.9681). Based on the results, we determined the feasibility of the developed textile-based inductive sensor as a measurement device for the heart rate and respiration characteristics.

This study proposed a new algorithm to assess autonomic function activity using Time-Frequency Representation(TFR). TFR is a way of describing the time-valiant energy of a signal. A discrete Wigner representation that is capable of filtering out any cross terms occuring in the Wigner-Ville Distribution(WVD) is used for time-variant energy distribution of heart rate variability(HRV) signals. And the marginal condition are evaluated to estimate power spectrum of HRV signals. The proposed algorithm showed that estimated power spectrum of HRV signals well describe the autonomic nerve system function and also showed the dynamics of autonomic nervous system response.

In this paper, we compare three mehods to obtain PSD of HRV - FFT, AR modeling, and residual integration. Using these methods we speculate the balances of the LP and HF powers of HRV at $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$ tilt levels of head-up tilt table for young and healthy 24 men. R peaks are located at the highest point of QRS complex detected from modified spacial velocity algorithm. In general FFT is the most fast way to obtain PSD but PSD from FFT has too many peaks and valleies. AR PSD can show frequency of ANS activity effectively but LF component of PSD is often invisible due to interference of VLF power. The residual integration method that decomposes the AR PSD is very efficient way to extract LF component. Applying the above three methods to HRV we can visualize the trend of PSD variations along tilt levels.

본 연구의 목적은 지연성근육통의 통증 변화가 자율신경계와 뇌파에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 지연성 근육통이 유발된 28명을 대조군(n=14)과 실험군(경피신경자극과 키네시오테이핑 적용, n=14)으로 구분하였다. 중재는 지연성근육통 유발 1일 후부터 5일 동안 실시하였다. 평가는 VAS(visual analog scale), 심박변이, 뇌파를 사용하여 지연성근육통 유발 전, 유발 24시간 후, 5일 치료 후, 치료 중단 3일 후에 측정하였다. 실험 결과 지연성근육통이 발생하면 교감신경계의 활성 증가 또는 부교감신경계 활성 억제가 되며, 중재로 인한 통증 감소는 반대의 활동이 나타났다. 통증 발생 시 alpha파의 감소가 나타났으나 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구 결과 통증 변화는 자율신경계와 뇌파에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었으며, 이러한 결과는 통증 관리와 치료 전략 개발 및 연구에 도움이 될 것이다.

PDA-based monitoring is used to acquire continuously the patient's vital signs, including electrocardiography, activity, heart rate and $SpO_2$. In this paper, A biomedical signal acquisition device was designed using 3-axial MEMS accelerometer and 1-ch ECG amplifier, to have the function of monitoring activity and electrocardiography. The proposed system is composed of transmitter and receiver. Through the Zigbee communication, subject's biosignals can be transmitted in real-time to receiver, and transmitted data confirmed using PDA. The packet size used in this device was set not to exceed a maximum payload size of 116 byte. One packet consists of two segments. The transmission speed was 21 packet per second, 420 ECG samples per second, and 42 acceleration samples per second. The proposed method can be used to develop Activities of Daily Living(ADL} monitoring devices for the elderly or movement impaired people and enables patients to be monitored without any constraints. Also, this method will reduce medical costs in the aged society.
