본 연구는 서울 지역에 거주하는 일부 여대생을 대상으로 식생활 평가를 기준으로 두 그룹으로 분류하여 식생활 습관, 신체 발달, 건강습관 및 혈액 인자를 비교하여 건강상 문제를 일으킬 수 있는 원인을 찾아내어 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 실시하였다. 전체 조사 대상자의 신장과 체중의 평균값은 각각 $162.02{\pm}4.89\;cm$과 $53.96{\pm}7.00\;kg$으로 조사되었다. 여대생의 식생활을 진단하기 위해 3점 척도로 살펴 본 결과, 전체 여대생의 식생활 진단 성적(1~10항목)은 평균 21.2점이었다. 평소 식사시간이 규칙적인 전체 여대생은 67.6%였으며, 아침식사를 매일 하는 여대생이 전체 중 30.5%에 불과하였으며, 주 중 최소한 한 번 이상은 결식하였다. 아침식사를 거르는 이유로는 '아침시간이 바쁘거나'(60.8%), '늦게 일어나서'(23.0%) 아침을 거르는 경우가 응답자의 83.8%나 되었다. 83.5%의 여대생은 가끔 또는 자주 과식을 하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 외식시 한식을 선호하였다. 여대생이 하루에 주로 1~2회 간식을 하였으며, 편식을 '자주 한다.'는 비율은 40.4%나 되었다. Good group에서는 간식으로 빵류 및 감자(39.3%), 탄산음료 및 빙과류(36.8%)를 섭취하였으며, Poor group에서는 우유 및 유제품(38.0%), 패스트푸드 및 튀김식품(22.8%)을 간식으로 섭취하였다. 전체 조사 대상자의 열량 섭취량은 $2,332.87{\pm}747.91\;kcal$로 한국인 영양 섭취 기준 중 20~29세 여성의 열량 필요 추정량으로 제시된 2,100 kcal보다 높게 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 열량, 지방, 비타민 $B_2$, $B_6$, niacin, 엽산, 칼슘, 철, 아연, 인 등의 영양소 섭취는 식생활 평가 점수가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서 높게 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었다. 혈중 적혈구수의 경우 4.49~4.55(${\times}10^6/{\mu}L$)로 군 간에 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았으며, 전체 조사 대상자의 혈중 백혈구 수치는 $6.40{\pm}1.52({\times}10^3/{\mu}L$)이었다. 헤모글로빈 수치도 $13.77{\pm}1.00\;g/dL$로 정상 범위에 속하였으나 헤모글로빈 농도가 12 g/dL 이하인 여대생은 6.4%였으며, 기준치 11.1 g/dL로 제한하면 약 2.7%의 여대생만이 빈혈이었다. 그러나 hematocrit 함량이 33%를 cut-off point로 했을 때는 빈혈로 판정되는 여대생이 없었다. 총콜레스테롤 수치가 200 mg/dL 이상인 여대생은 23.9%로 조사되었으며, 중성지방, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol는 군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 건강에 대한 관심도는 식생활 평가가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서 24.5%로 높았으며, 오히려 식생활 평가가 높은 그룹에서는 49.6%의 여대생이 건강에 대한 관심이 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 건강을 유지하기 가장 중요한 부분으로는 규칙적인 식사와 영양 섭취, 충분한 휴식과 수면이 중요하다고 답하였다. 여대생의 경우 평균 수면 시간은 6~8시간이 가장 많았으며, 운동의 여부를 묻는 질문에는 식생활 평가가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서 운동을 한다고 답한 여대생이 36.2%로 식생활 평가가 평균 이상으로 좋은 그룹의 여대생들(18.5%)에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 따라서 본 연구에서 전체적인 여대생의 식생활의 문제점으로는 아침식사의 결식, 과식과 편식하는 습관, 영양소의 불균형적인 섭취 및 운동의 부족 등이 문제시 되었으며, 식생활 평가가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서는 간식으로 지방을 많이 함유한 패스트푸드나 튀김식품 등의 섭취 및 열량위주의 식사가 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 식생활 평가가 평균 이상으로 좋은 그룹의 여대생들의 가장 큰 문제점은 간식으로 탄산음료 및 빙과류의 섭취가 높으며, 과일 섭취의 부족 및 운동 부족으로 자신의 건강을 소홀히 생각하고 있다는 점이었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 자신의 건강상태를 바르게 판단하여 자신에게 맞는 현실적으로 실천 가능한 식생활 계획을 세우는 것이 필요하며, 대학에서 영양과 건강에 관한 수업의 실시 및 대중화함으로써 영양교육의 강화가 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 또한 지역사회 구성원 및 가족과 함께 실천할 수 있는 식사 관리 프로그램을 마련하는 것도 좋은 방법 중의 하나라고 사료된다.

이 실험의 목적은 광중합복합 레진을 자체 제작한 광조사 차단 장치를 이용하여 간헐적 광중합시켜 기존의 연속 중합법과 변연적합도를 비교함으로써 간헐적 광중합의 영향을 알아 보는 것이다. 이번 실험에 사용된 재료는 Pyramid (Bisco, Schaumburg, U.S.A)와 Heliomolar (Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein)이다. 발치된 상악 소구치에 class II MOD 와동 형성 후 위 두 재료를 bulk 충전하고 다음의 중합cycle에 따라 중합시켰다: 제1군- 연속 광중합 (60초간 계속 광조사); 제2군-2초 광조사, 1초 광차단 (90초 시행); 제3군- 1초 광조사 1초 광차단 (120초 시행); 제4군- 1초 광조사, 2초 광차단 (180초 시행). 저작재현장치 (R&B, Daejeon, Korea)로 720000회의 운동횟수, 분당 120의 회전속도, $5^{\circ}C$와 $55^{\circ}C$의 물을 교대로 치아에 6000회 주사하면서 5.0 kg의 하중을 치아에 적용하였고 실험 전후 변연적합도를 전체와 부위별 변연으로 나누어서 $\times200$배율의 광학 현미경으로 측정하였다. 부위별 변연은 교합면, 인접면, 치은면 등 세 부위로 나누어서 법랑질 변연을 측정하였다. 전체 변연적합도에서 각 군간, 재료간, 저작 운동 전후 차이를 보기 위해 three-way ANOVA와 Duncan's multiple range test를 시행하였고, 부위별 변연적합도에서는 각 군에서 부위별 차이와 각 부위에서 군간 차이를 보기 위해 각각 one-way ANOVA와 Duncan's multiple range test를 시행하였다 (95% 유의수준). 전체 변연적합도를 보면, 저작 운동 전에는 Pyramid의 경우 3, 4군이 1,2군에 비해, Heliomolar의 경우 3.4군이 1군에 비해 전체 변연적합도가 우수하였고, 저작 운동 후에는 Pyramid. Heliomolar모두 3군이 1군에 비해 전체 변연적합도가 우수하였다 (p < 0.05). 재료간 비교에서는 저작 운동 잔에는 2군에서 Heliomolar가 Pyramid보다 변연적합도가 우수하였고 (p < 0.05) 그 외의 군에서는 유의차가 없었으며, 저작 운동 후에는 모든 군에서 재료간 유의차가 없었다. 각 부위별 변연적합도를 비교하면, 저작 운동 전 Pyramid에서는 교합면 변연에서는 4군이 2군에 비해 높은 변연적합도를 보였고 (p < 0.05), 인접면과 치은면에서는 군 간 유의차를 보이지 않았다. Heliomolar에서는 교합면 변연에서 2, 4군이 1군에 비해 높은 변연적합도를 보였고 (p < 0.05), 인접면과 치은면에서는 군간 유의차를 보이지 않았다. 저작 운동 후 Pyramid에서는 교합면 변연에서는 3군이 1, 2군에 비해 높은 변연적합도를 보였고 (p < 0.05), 인접면과 치은면에서는 군간 유의차를 보이지 않았다. Heliomolar에서는 교합면에서 2, 3, 4군이 1군에 비해 변연적합도가 높았으며 (p < 0.05), 인접면과 치은면에서는 군간 유의차를 보이지 않았다 이번 연구를 통하여 복합레진을 간헐적 광중합시킴으로써 변연적합도가 향상될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

이온운반계는 생체의 각기 다른 세포의 성장을 조절하는 성장조절인자들의 효과를 매개하는데 깊은 관련이 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 신장 근위세뇨관에서 솔변 연 $Na^+/H^+$ 상호운반계는 사구체에서 여과된 나트륨의 재흡수와 수소이온의 분비를 조절하는 중요한 기능을 수행한다. 이 연구는 초대배양된 신장 근위세뇨관세포의 나트륨 운반을 Insulin-like Growth Factor-I(IGF-I)이 어떤 경로를 통하여 조절하는지를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 결과는 아래와 같다. 1. 초대배양된 신장 근위세뇨관세포에서 $Na^+$ uptake는 시간의존적으로 증가되었으며, 30분동안 $Na^+$ uptake를 실시한 결과 세포외 NaCl 농도의존적으로 $Na^+$ uptake를 유의성있게 감소시켰다(대조군; $40.11{\pm}1.76$, 140mM군; $17.82{\pm}0.94pmole\;Na^+/mg\;protein/min$). 2. $Na^+$ uptake는 iodoacetic acid(IAA, $1{\times}10^{-4}M$) 또는 valinomycin($5{\times}10^{-6}M$)처리시 대조군에 비해 각각 $50.51{\pm}4.4%$와 $57.65{\pm}2.27%$ 억제되었으며, ouabain($5{\times}10^{-5}M$)을 처리한 경우는 $140.23{\pm}3.37%$ 증가되었다. IGF-I($1{\times}10^{-5}M$)으로 배양한 세포를 actinomycin D($1{\times}10^{-7}M$)와 cycloheximide($4{\times}10^{-5}M$)로 처리시 $Na^+$ uptake는 대조군에 비해 각각 $90.21{\pm}2.39%$와 $89.64{\pm}3.69%$로 감소되었다. 3. IGF-I으로 배양한 세포에서 세포외 cAMP는 농도의존적($10^{-8}-10^{-4}M$)으로 $Na^+$ uptake를 유의성있게 감소시켰고, 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine(IBMX, $5{\times}10^{-5}M$)도 억제시켰다. Pertussis toxin(PTX, 50pg/ml)이나 cholera toxin(CTX, $1{\mu}g/ml$)의 처리시에도 $Na^+$ uptake는 억제되었다. 세포외 phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate(PMA) 또한 농도의존적(1-100ng/ml)으로 $Na^+$ uptake를 감소시켰다. 그러나 staurosporine($1{\times}10^{-7}M$)은 $Na^+$ uptake에 영향을 미치지 않았으며 PMA와 stauiosporine을 동시에 처리했을 때도 $Na^+$ uptake는 억제되지 않았다. 결론적으로 초대배양된 토끼 신장 근위세뇨관세포에서 $Na^+$ uptake는 막전위와 세포내 에너지 의존적이며 IGF-I은 부분적으로 단백질 및 RNA 합성을 통해서 그리고 세포내 cAMP나 PKC 경로를 통해서 $Na^+$ uptake를 조절하는 것으로 생각된다.

목 적 : 뇌 정위적 방사선수술은 외과적 수술로 인한 합병증 발생 비율이 높은 질환을 비침습적으로 치료할 수 있다. 하지만 뇌 정위적 방사선수술은 방사선을 이용하기 때문에 분할방사선치료와 같이 방사선에 의한 부작용을 동반할 수 있다. 두경부 등의 분할방사선치료 시 방사선에 의한 부작용을 줄이기 위해 Coplanar Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy(C-VMAT)와 Non-Coplanar Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy(NC-VMAT)가 주변 정상조직에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석이 이루어졌지만, 뇌 정위적 방사선수술에서는 이러한 내용들이 분석되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 뇌 정위적 방사선수술을 실시한 환자를 대상으로 C-VMAT과 NC-VMAT을 비교, 분석하여 NC-VMAT의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 뇌 정위적 방사선수술 13건을 대상으로 하였으며, C-VMAT, NC-VMAT 치료 계획을 진행하였다. 치료 계획 용적은 최소 0.78 cc에서 최대 12.26 cc의 용적을 가지고 있었으며, 처방 선량은 15~24 Gy가 처방되었다. 치료 장비는 trueBEAM Stx(Varian Medical Systems, USA)을 사용하였으며, 치료 계획에 사용된 에너지는 6 MV Flattening Filter Free(6FFF) X-선을 이용하였다. C-VMAT 치료계획은 half 2 Arc 또는 full 2 Arc를 사용하여 치료계획을 진행했으며, NC-VMAT 치료계획은 $40{\sim}190^{\circ}$의 Arc를 3~7개 사용하고, couch의 각도 또한 3~7개의 각도로 구성하여 치료계획을 진행하였다. 결 과 : 최대선량의 평균 값은 C-VMAT에서 $105.1{\pm}1.37%$로 나타났으며, NC-VMAT에서는 $105.8{\pm}1.71%$로 나타났다. C-VMAT의 처방 선량 지수(Conformity index)는 $1.08{\pm}0.08$로 나타났고, 선량 균질 지수(Homogeneity Index)는 $1.03{\pm}0.01$로 나타났다. NC-VMAT의 처방 선량 균질지수는 $1.17{\pm}0.1$, 선량 균질지수는 $1.04{\pm}0.01$로 나타났다. 뇌의 $V_2$, $V_8$, $V_{12}$, $V_{18}$, $V_{24}$는 C-VMAT에서 $176{\pm}149.36cc$, $31.50{\pm}25.03cc$, $16.53{\pm}12.63cc$, $8.60{\pm}6.87cc$, $4.03{\pm}3.43cc$로 나타났으며, NC-VMAT에서는 $135.55{\pm}115.93cc$, $24.34{\pm}17.68cc$, $14.74{\pm}10.97cc$, $8.55{\pm}6.79cc$, $4.23{\pm}3.48cc$로 나타냈다. 결 론 : 최대선량과 처방 선량 지수, 선량 균질 지수 항목에서는 C-VMAT과 NC-VMAT이 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 뇌의 선량 당 용적은 $V_2{\sim}V_{18}$까지 구간에서 값의 차이는 최소 0.5 %에서 최대 48 %의 차이가 나타냈다. $V_{19}{\sim}V_{24}$까지 구간에서 값의 차이는 최소 0.4 %에서 최대 4.8 %의 차이가 나타냈다. 방사선괴사(Radionecrosis)가 발생하기 시작하는 $V_{12}$ 용적의 평균 값을 비교해본 결과 NC-VMAT 이 C-VMAT 대비 약 12.2 % 적은 용적을 포함하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 NC-VMAT 치료 계획을 수립한다면, $V_2{\sim}V_{18}$의 용적을 줄일 수 있기 때문에 방사선괴사를 줄일 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

사용후핵연료(Spent nuclear fuel; SNF) 심지층 처분장의 완충재 소재로서 WRK (waste repository Korea) 벤토나이트가 적합한 지를 평가하기 위하여, 대표적인 방사성 핵종인 U (uranium)에 대한 WRK 벤토나이트의 흡/탈착 특성과 흡착 기작을 규명하는 다양한 분석, 흡/탈착 실내 실험, 동역학 흡착 모델링을 다양한 pH 조건에서 수행하였다. 다양한 특성 분석 결과, 주성분은 Ca-몬모릴로나이트이며, U 흡착 능력이 뛰어난 광물학적·구조적 특징들을 가지고 있었다. WRK 벤토나이트의 U 흡착 효율 및 탈착율을 규명하기 위한 흡/탈착 실험 결과, pH 5, 6, 10, 11 조건에서 WRK 벤토나이트와 U 오염수(1 mg/L)가 낮은 비율(2 g/L)로 혼합되었음에도 불구하고 높은 U 흡착 효율(>74%)과 낮은 U 탈착율(<14%)을 보였으며, 이는 WRK 벤토나이트가 SNF 처분장에서 U 거동을 제한하는 완충재 소재로서 적절하게 사용될 수 있음을 의미한다. pH 3과 7 조건에서는 상대적으로 낮은 U 흡착 효율(<45%)이 나타났으며, 이는 U가 용액의 pH 조건에 따라 다양한 형태로 존재하며, 존재 형태에 따라 상이한 U 흡착 기작을 가지기 때문으로 판단된다. 본 연구 실험 결과와 선행연구를 바탕으로 WRK 벤토나이트의 주요 화학적 U 흡착 기작을 pH 범위에 따라 용액 내 U의 존재 형태에 근거하여 설명하였다. pH 3 이하에서 주로 UO₂²⁺ 형태로 존재하는 U는 벤토나이트 표면의 Si-O 또는 Al-O(OH)와의 정전기적 인력(예: 이온 결합)에 의해 흡착되기 때문에 pH가 감소할수록 음전하 표면이 약해지는 WRK 벤토나이트 특성에 의해 비교적 낮은 U 흡착 효율이 나타났다. pH 7 이상의 알칼리성 조건에서 U는 음이온 U-수산화 복합체(UO₂(OH)₃^-, UO₂(OH)₄^2-, (UO₂)₃(OH)₇^- 등)로 존재하며 비교적 높은 흡착 효율이 나타내는데, 이들은 벤토나이트에 포함된 Si-O 또는 Al-O(OH)의 산소원자를 공유하거나 리간드 교환에 의해 새로운 U-복합체가 형성되어 흡착되거나 수산화물 형태의 공침(co-precipitation)에 의해 벤토나이트에 고정되기 때문이다. pH 7의 중성 조건에서는 pH 5와 6보다 오히려 낮은 U 흡착 효율(42%)이 나타났는데, 이러한 결과는 용액 내 존재하는 탄산염(carbonate)에 의해 U가 U-수산화 복합체보다 용해도가 높은 U-탄산염 복합체로 존재하는 경우 가능하다. 연구 결과 pH를 약산성 또는 염기성 조건으로 유지하거나 용액 내 존재하는 탄산염을 제한함으로써 WRK 벤토나이트의 U 흡착 효율을 높일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

목적 : 병원 방사선 작업 종사자들의 개인별 방사선 피폭 정도를 분석하여 방사선 장해의 위험도를 예상해 보고 방사선 작업 종사자들의 점차적인 수적 증가와 장기근무화 되고 있는 것을 고려하여 종사자들의 건강관리에 만전을 기하고 병원 방사선 피폭을 최소화하며 방사선 피폭의 위험에 대해 경각심을 고취시키고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1993년 1월 1일부터 1997년 12월 31일까지 부산광역시 소재 4개 대학병원에서 기록 보관중인 방사선 피폭 관리 대장을 가지고 분석하였으며, 1년 미만 기록된 자를 제외한 347명에 대하여 필름뱃지나 열형광 선량계(TLD:Thermolumlnescent dosimeter)로 정기적으로 측정하여 보관한 기록지를 가지고 분석하였다. 진단방사선과, 치료방사선과 및 핵의학과에 근무하는 의사, 방사선사, 간호사, 사무요원들이 있으며 실험실이나 다른 부서도 모두 포함하였고 비교대상군간의 피폭량은 연평균 피폭량으로 하였다. 과다 피폭의 빈도의 비를 보기 위해서는 3개월간의 피폭을 한 건으로 하여 전체에 대한 100분율($\%$)로 비교하였다 분석방법으로는 먼저 연도별, 기관별, 과별로 분석해보고 다음으로 각과 내에서 각 파트별로 세부분석을 하였다. 피폭정도의 기준은 3개월간의 누적량을 가지고 분석하였으며, 각 개인의 연령, 직종별(의사, 방사선사, 간호사, 기타)로 분석하였다. 연령에 따른 분석에서 개인의 나이는 1993년과 1997년의 중간인 1995년을 기준으로 하였다. 과다 피폭의 대상에 대해서는 과다 피폭의 원인을 분석해 보고 개선방법을 연구해 보았다. 통계처리로는 SPSS 프로그램에서 $\chi$$^{2}$_test와 ANOVA- test를 이용하여 p-Value로 유의성을 검정하였다. 결과 : 전체 대상자 347명에 대한 연간 피폭선량 평균은 1.52$\pm$1.35 mSv 였으며 법적 선량한도인 50mSv보다 훨씬 적은 량이지만 그 중 125명(36$\%$)은 방사선과 관련 없는 일반인의 방사선 피폭의 선량한도인 1년간 1 mSv 보다 많은 양의 피폭을 받고 있었다 연령에 따른 방사선 피폭은 30세이하에서 평균 1.87$\pm$1.01 mSV, 31세에서 40세 사이가 평균 1.22$\pm$0.69 mSV, 41세 이상에서 평균 0.97$\pm$0.43 mSV로 연령이 적을수록 많은 양의 피폭을 받고 있었다(p<0.01). 병원 내에서 방사선 피폭을 많이 받는 장소가 한정되어 있었다. 방사선을 취급하는 과별로 받는 년간 평균 피폭 선량은 진단방사선과 1.65$\pm$1.54mSv, 치료방사선과 1.17$\pm$0.82 mSv, 핵의학과 1.79$\pm$1.42 mSv, 기타 0.99$\pm$0.51 mSv였으며 상대적으로 저선량율 에너지를 사용하는 핵의학과에서 다른 과와 비교해서 방사선 피폭이 높게 나타났으며(p<0.05), 핵의학과 내에서는 특히 동위원소 조작실과 주입실의 년간 평균 피폭량이 3.69$\pm$1.81 mSv으로 많은 피폭을 받고 있었다(p<0.01). 진단방사선과 내에서는 대장 촬영실 근무자의 연평균 피폭량이 3.74$\pm$1.74 mSv로 가장 많이받고 있으며(p<0.01) 그외 투시진단법(Fluoroscopy) 등 직접 투시를 요하는 촬영실, 즉 혈관촬영실이 연평균 1.17$\pm$0.35 mSv, 상위장관 촬영실이 연평균 1.75$\pm$1.34 mSv으로 평균보다 높게 나타났다(p<0.01). 치료방사선과에서는 가장 많이 고에너지의 방사선을 사용하지만 상대적으로 피폭을 적게 받고 있었다. 직종별 연평균 피폭선량은 의사 1.75$\pm$1.17 mSv, 방사선사 1.60$\pm$1.39 mSV, 간호사 0.93$\pm$0.35 mSV, 기타 1.00$\pm$0.3 mSv로 의사와 방사선사가 다른 직종에 비해 높게 나타났다(p<0.05) 결론 : 결론으로 방사선 작업 종사자의 수적 증가와 장기 근무화 현상을 고려할 때 작은 양이나마 방사선 피폭을 동일인이 동일 장소에서 계속 받게 되면 방사선 피폭의 축적 선량은 증가할 수도 있을 것이다. 그러므로 작업종사자에 대한 교육을 더욱 강화할 필요가 있으며 피치 못하게 근무중 방사선 피폭을 받아야 되는 부서에는 순환근무를 실시하여 근무시간을 단축하고 취급에 숙련된 자가 근무하게 하여 개인별 피폭누적 선량을 최소화하여 종사자의 건강을 유지증진 시켜야 할 것이다
