최근 한국사회의 고령화 및 노인장기요양 보험제도의 시작으로 노인 신체기능 및 장애에 대한 관심이 증가한 가운데, 이에 영향을 미치는 요인 중 하나로 근위축비만(Sarcopenic obesity) 즉, 근육양 감소와 지방량 증가가 동시에 나타나는 현상에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 비만과 근 위축 각각이 노인의 신체기능에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 존재하나, 근위축 비만이 노인의 신체기능 및 체력에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 극히 제한적이다. 이에 본 연구는 경기도 Y시에 자립적으로 거주하는 60세 이상의 여성고령자 257명(평균연령 74.5세)의 신체조성을 측정한 후 Davison의 분류법을 이용하여 정상체지방군, 높은 체지방군, 근위축군, 근위축비만군의 4개 군으로 분류하고 7개의 노인신체기능측정(의자에서 앉았다 일어서기, 아령들기, 상완 유연성, 정적형성, 2분 제자리 걷기, 하지 유연성 및 8 feet 앉았다 일어서서 돌아오기(8ft TUG))검사항목과 측정장치를 이용한 4개의 기초체력항목(악력, 자세안정성, 무릎신근력 및 굴근력)에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. SPSS 12.0을 이용하여 일원배치분산분석과 다중비교검정을 위한 LSD 사후검정을 실시하였으며 유의수준은 5%에서 검정하였다. 정상군의 의자에서 앉았다 일어서기, 아령들기, 상완유연성, 2분 제자리 걷기 결과는 근위축군(p<.05)과 근위축비만군(p<.05)보다 유의하게 높았다. 정적평형성은 정상군이 근위축비만군에 비하여 유의하게 높았으며(p<.01), 근위축군이 근위축비만군보다 유의하게 높았다(p<.01). 8ft TUG는 근위축비만군만이 정상군에 비하여 유의하게 낮은 결과를 보였다(p<.01). 악력(F=20.87,p<.001), 60도에서의 최대 신근력은 정상군이 근위축군(p<.01)과 근위축비만군(p<.01)보다 유의하게 높았으며 60도에서의 최대 굴극력역시 정상군이 근위축군(p<.01)과 근위축비만군(p<.01)보다 유의하게 높은 결과를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 노후의 자립적 삶을 영위하기 위한 기능유지의 위험인자로서 비만상태보다는 근위축비만군임을 입증하였으며, 노후 신체허약의 위험인자로 근위축비만에 대한 중재가 필요함을 보여주고 있다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

We investigated what factors motivate gamers to participate in a guild and why they continue to be engaged as members of the guild. We find that, based on the result of focus group interviews with MMORPG gamers, social support and self-esteem factors play important roles. Considering both prior research and the focus group interviews we have conducted, we define social support and character control as independent variables. Character identity, guild identity, and self-esteem are proposed as mediating variables while guild flow and game loyalty as dependent variables. Accordingly, we develop the research model and hypotheses, and verify them empirically. Based on our experiences of playing the WoW game, we proposed a research model and conducted focus-group interviews (FGIs). FGIs involve formulating a hypothesis and then collecting some relevant data. FGIs were conducted face-to-face with students of C University in Korea. We formulated structured interview schedules, and the questions were based on our research variables and personal experiences. The questions for the interviews encompassed the following areas: (a) the demographic characteristics of the focus group; (b) the number of years for which respondents had played online games; (c) the motive for starting a game; (d) the number of game-characters assumed by each gamer; (e) the type of game played; and (f) other issues such as the reasons for involvement in the play, the willingness to reuse the game in case new versions were released, etc. On average, it took two hours to interview each of three groups. A primary set of FGIs was conducted with three groups on the premise that there would be some differences caused by character race (Horde vs. Alliance) or by playable server (Normal vs. Combat). With respect to the manner of playing, we found that guild members shared information, felt a sense of belonging, and played computer games for quite a long time through the guild; however, they did not undergo these experiences when playing alone. Gamers who belonged to a specific guild helped other players without expecting compensation for that, freely shared information about the game, gave away items for free, and more generous with other members who made mistakes. The guild members were aware of the existence other members and experienced a sense of belonging through interactions with, and evaluations from, other players. It was clear that social support was shown within the guild and that it played an important role as a major research variable. Based on the results of the first FGIs, a second set of in-depth FGIs was carried out with a focus on the psychology of the individual within the guild and the social community of the guild. The second set of FGIs also focused on the guild's offline meetings. Gamers, over all, recognize the necessity of joining a community, not only off-line but also online world of the guild. They admit that the guild is important for them to easily and conveniently enjoy playing online computer games. The active behavior and positive attitudes of existing guild members can motivate new members of the guild to adapt themselves to the guild environment. They then adopt the same behaviors and attitudes of established guild members. In this manner, the new members of the guild strengthen the bonds with other gamers while feeling a sense of belonging, and developing social identity, thereby. It was discovered that the interaction among guild members and the social support encouraged new gamers to quickly develop a sense of social identity and increase their self-esteem. The guild seemed to play the role of socializing gamers. Sometimes, even in the real world, the guild members helped one another; therefore, the features of the guild also spilled over to the offline environment. We intend to use self-esteem, which was found through the second set of FGIs, as an important research variable. To collect data, an online survey was designed with a questionnaire to be completed by WoW gamers, who belong to a guild. The survey was registered on the best three domestic game-sites: 'WoW playforum,' 'WoW gamemeca,' and 'Wow invent.' The selected items to be measured in the questionnaire were decided based on prior research and data from FGIs. To verify the content of the questionnaire, we carried out a pilot test with the same participants to point out ambiguous questions as a way to ensure maximum accuracy of the survey result. A total of 244 responses were analyzed from the 250 completed questionnaires. The SEM analysis was used to test goodness-of-fit of the model. As a result, we found important results as follows: First, according to the statistics, social support had statistically significant impacts on character control, character identity, guild identity and self-esteem. Second, character control had significant effects on character identity, guild identity and self-esteem. Third, character identity shows its clear impact on self-esteem and game loyalty. Fourth, guild identity affected self-esteem, guild flow and game loyalty. Fifth, self-esteem had a positive influence on the guild flow. These days, the number of virtual community is rising along with its significance largely because of the nature of the online games. Accordingly, this study is designed to clarify the psychological relationship between gamers within the guild that has been generally established by gamers to play online games together. This study focuses on the relationships in which social support influences guild flow or game loyalty through character control, character identity, guild identity, and self-esteem, which are present within a guild in the MMORPG game environment. The study results are as follows. First, the effects of social support on character control, character identity, guild identity and self-esteem are proven to be statistically significant. It was found that character control improves character identity, guild identity and self-esteem. Among the seven variables, social support, which is derived from FGIs, plays an important role in this study. With the active support of other guild members, gamers can improve their ability to develop good characters and to control them. Second, character identity has a positive effect on self-esteem and game loyalty, while guild identity has a significant effect on self-esteem, guild flow and game loyalty. Self-esteem affects guild flow. It was found that the higher the character and guild identities become, the greater the self-esteem is established. Contrary to the findings of prior research, our study results indicate that the relationship between character identity and guild flow is not significant. Rather, it was found that character identity directly affects game players' loyalty. Even though the character identity had no direct effect on increasing guild flow, it has indirectly affected guild flow through self-esteem. The significant relationship between self-esteem and guild flow indicates that gamers achieve flow, i.e., a feeling of pleasure and excitement through social support. Several important implications of this study should be noted. First, both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to conduct this study. Through FGIs, it was observed that both social support and self-esteem are important variables. Second, because guilds had been rarely studied, this research is expected to play an important role in the online community. Third, according to the result, six hypotheses (H1, H5, H6, H7, H8, and H11) setup based on FGIs, were statistically significant; thus, we can suggest the corresponding relationships among the variables as a guideline for follow-up research. Our research is significant as it has following implications: first, the social support of the guild members is important when establishing character control, character identity, guildidentity and self-esteem. It is also a major variable that affects guild flow and game loyalty. Second, character control when improved by social support shows notable influence on the development of character identity, guild identity and self-esteem. Third, character identity and guild identity are major factors to help establish gamers' own self-esteem. Fourth, character identity affects guild flow through self-esteem and game loyalty. The gamers usually express themselves through characters; the higher character identity is, the more loyalty a gamer has. Fifth, guild identity, established within the guild, has clear effects on self-esteem, guild flow and game loyalty. Sixth, qualitative and quantitative methods are employed to conduct this study. Based on the results of focus group interviews and SEM analysis, we find that the social support by guild members and psychological factors are significant in strengthening the flow of guild and loyalty to the game. As such, game developers should provide some extra functions for guild community, through which gamers can play online games in collaboration with one another. Also, we suggest that positive self-esteem which is built up through social support can help gamers achieve higher level of flow and satisfaction, which will consequently contribute to minimizing the possibility for the players to develop negative attitude toward the guild they belong to.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

본 연구에서는 소비자 중심적인 건강기능식품 기능성 전달방법을 도출하기 위하여 이미지, 원료 및 기능성에 대한 설명, 기능성을 설명하는 도표, 특허 정보, 권위자의 설명 등 다양한 전달 방법들이 소비자의 광고 평가에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 소비자들이 이미 가지고 있었던 건강기능식품에 대한 인식들이 광고 평가에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴 보았다. 이미 수행된 정성조사(Focus group interview)에서는 실제 사용되던 건강기능식품 광고 50여건을 소비자에게 제시하고, 기능성과 관련하여 소비자의 광고 인식에 미치는 방법들을 찾아내었다. 이렇게 찾은 방법들에 대하여 보다 넓은 범위에서 검증하기 위하여, 이를 바탕으로 6가지의 광고안들을 개발하여 정량 조사를 수행하였다. 6가지 광고안은 각각 정인지 이미지+원료에 대한 설명+기능성을 설명하는 도표, 정인지 이미지+원료에 대한 설명, 정인지 이미지, 오인지 이미지, 오인지 이미지+특허 정보, 오인지 이미지+권위자의 설명을 반영하여 제작되었다. 정량 조사의 대상은 서울 및 수도권 거주자 30~60대 총 300명이었으며, 대인면접법으로 한 사람당 4가지 광고안을 평가하도록 하여 광고안 당 200개의 평가 결과가 나올 수 있도록 하였다. 광고에 대한 평가는 광고 위계 효과 모형에서 제시되는 인지-감정-행동 세 가지 요소가 모두 반영될 수 있도록 '광고가 시선을 끄는가', '광고가 얼마나 이해하기 쉽다고 생각하는가', '제품 기능에 대한 정보가 충분한가', '광고의 메시지에 공감이 가는가', '광고를 통해 제품의 효능/효과를 얼마나 신뢰하는가', '광고를 본 후 구입하고 싶은 생각이 드는가'의 6가지 항목을 질문하였다. 또한 광고에 대한 평가와 함께 소비자들이 건강기능식품에 대하여 가지고 있는 태도를 '건강하기 위해서는 건강기능식품을 꼭 섭취해야 한다고 생각한다', '건강기능식품의 효능/효과에 대해 신뢰한다', '건강기능식품을 구입하기 전에 많은 정보를 수집한 후 구입한다', '평소 건강기능식품 광고들을 관심있게 본다', '건강기능식품 광고에서 전달하는 효능/효과에 대해 신뢰한다' 이렇게 5가지 문항을 통하여 조사하였다. 건강기능식품에 대한 소비자의 태도를 t-검정 및 일원분산분석을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 성별에 따른 차이로서 '광고관심도'에 대해서는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, '섭취필수도', '효과신뢰도', '구입 전 정보수집도' 및 '광고내용신뢰도'에 대해서는 여성이 남성보다 유의하게 긍정적인 태도를 취하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 연령에 따른 분석 결과로서는 모든 항목에 대하여 40대와 50대 연령층이 30대와 비교하여 보다 긍정적인 태도를 취하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 제시된 6가지 광고에 대하여 광고 효과를 분산분석한 결과, 단순히 이미지만을 제시한 광고안들에 비하여 원료와 기능성에 대한 정보가 함께 제시된 광고안들의 효과가 유의적으로 높게 평가되어 즉, 원료 및 기능성에 대한 설명, 그래프 형태의 시험 결과 제시, 특허, 권위자의 설명은 인지, 정서, 행동 모든 측면에서 광고 효과를 높일 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 하지만 소비자들은 오인지 이미지에 대하여 인지하지 못하여 이에 따른 광고 평가의 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 다른 변수들과의 상호작용을 살펴보기 위하여 이원분산분석을 수행한 결과, 이러한 경향은 성별, 연령과 서로 상호작용을 가지지 않았으며, 성별과 연령에 상관없이 동일하게 나타났다. 하지만 건강기능식품에 대한 태도와 상호작용을 관찰한 결과에서는 '섭취필수도', '효과신뢰도', '구입 전 정보수집도', '광고내용신뢰도'가 '이해용이도', '주목도', '공감도', '구매욕구도' 등에 대하여 상호작용 효과를 가지고 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 예를 들어, '섭취필수도'가 높은 그룹에서는 기능성에 대한 그래프, 특허 정보, 전문가에 대하여 언급하는 것이 광고에 대한 '주목도'를 높이는데 유의하게 효과적이었으나, '섭취필수도'가 낮은 그룹에서는 광고안에 따른 '주목도' 차이가 없었다. 이러한 결과로부터 기능성 관련 정보를 자세하게 제공하는 것은 이미지만 제시하는 것과 같이 적은 양의 정보를 제공하는 것보다 소비자가 광고와 그 내용에 대하여 주목하고, 이해하기 쉽다고 느끼고, 정보가 충분하다고 느끼고, 공감하고, 신뢰하며, 구매하고 싶다고 느끼도록 하는 데 효과적일 수 있으나, 이러한 효과는 소비자가 건강기능식품에 대하여 기본적으로 가지고 있는 태도에 따라서 변화할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 기능성 전달 방법에 따른 광고 효과의 차이는 분명히 있으나, 그 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 광고를 접하는 소비자들을 세분화하여 각기 다른 방식으로 접근하는 노력이 필요하다.

배경: 엡스타인 기형 환자들에서 수술적 치료의 임상적 결과를 살펴보기 위해 후향적 조사를 실시하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1984년 2월부터 2006년 6월까지 엡스타인 기형으로 수술적 치료를 시행 받은 50명의 환자들을 대상으로 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. 환자들의 평균 연령은 26.9세였고, 남자가 19명이었다. 동반 심질환으로는 심방중격결손(33), 동맥관개존(2), 심실중격결손(1), 폐동맥협착(4) 등이 있었고 90% (45/50)의 환자에서 중증도 이상의 삼첨판막 폐쇄부전을 동반하였다. Carpentier type은 A형 6명, B형 26명, C형 14명, D형 4명이 속하였고 10명의 환자에서 WPW증후군을 동반하였다. 수술방법으로는 31명의 환자에서 보존적 수술(삼첨판 성형술, 심방화 우심실 주름잡기술(plication of atrialized RV) 등)이 가능하였으며, 폰탄씨 수술은 4명, 삼첨판막 치환술 12명, 고식적 수술은 2명의 환자에서 시행되었다. 13명의 환자에서 양방향성 상대정맥-폐동맥 단락술을 시행하였고(one and a half ventricular repair), WPW 증후군을 동반한 10명의 환자와 심방세동의 4명의 환자에서 부정맥에 대한 수술적 치료가 함께 시행되었다. 걸과: 술 후 뉴욕심장학회 기능분류(New York Heart Association Functional Class) (중간값 3 (범위: $1{\sim}4$)${\rightarrow}\;(1{\sim}3)$)와 평균 심흉비$(0.65{\rightarrow}0.59)$는 술 전에 비해 통계학적으로 의미 있게 감소하였다(P<0.001, p=0.014). 평균 산소포화도$(86.6{\rightarrow}94.1%)$와 삼첨판막역류 정도(중간값 4 (범위: $1{\sim}4$)${\rightarrow}1\;(0{\sim}4)$) 역시 술 전에 비해 술 후 통계학적으로 의미 있게 향상되었다 (p=0.004, p<0.001). 양방향성 상대정맥-폐동맥 단락술과 보존적 수술간의 비교에서는 수술 전 우심실 압력(33.0 vs 41.3 mmHg), 중환자실 기간(2.86 vs 1.89일), 입원기간(10.6 vs 16.8일), 그리고 수술 후 좌심실 구축률(64.3 vs 72.8%)이 통계적으로 의미 있는 차이를 보였다. 술 후 조기사망이 3명(6%)의 환자에서 있었는데 2명은 양심실 부전, 나머지 1명은 패혈증으로 사망하였다. 평균 추적관찰 기간은 101.5개월이었으며 추적 조사 결과, 심장관련사망이 1명(폰탄 실패)이 있었고 6명의 환자에서 재수술을 요하였다(조직판막 퇴행성 변화(2), 폰탄 전환술(4)). 수술 후 10년 생존율은 90.2%였고, 10년 재수술 자유도는 78.9%, 심장관련 합병증의 자유도는 49.2%이었다. 걸론: 엡스타인 기형의 수술적 치료는 비교적 안전하게 시행될 수 있으며 양방향성 상대정맥-폐동맥 단락술의 추가가 고위험군에서는 도움이 되는 것으로 생각한다. 적절한 술기의 적응이 결국 장기 생존율의 호전과 재수술의 감소를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

acaricide로 알려진 phthalimidomethyl O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioat (Imidan)을 수도(水稻)에 살포(撒布)했을 때 Imidan과 그 대사물질(代謝物質)이 식물(植物)의 생육(生育)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 연구(硏究)하기 위하여 본(本) 실험(實驗)을 하였으며 이의 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)해 보면 다음과 같다. (1) Imian의 대사물질(代謝物質)로 예상(豫想)되는 다음의 8가지 화합물(化合物)을 합성(合成) 또는 정제(精製)하여 공시약제(供試藥劑)로 사용(使用)하였다. (a) N-Hydroxy methyl phthalimide (b) Phalimide (c) Phthalamdic acid (d) Phthalic acid (e) Anthranilic acid (f) p-amino benzoic acid (g) p-hydroxu benzoic acid (h) Benzoic acid (2) 상기(上記) 물질중(物質中)에서 (a),(c),(d),(e)와 Imidan의 각(各) 10 ppm과 20 ppm 의 Buffer Solution 을 만들어 밀 종자(種子)를 가지고 coleoptile straight growth test를 해 본 결과(結果) Imidan 은 10 ppm 과 20 ppm에서 모두 control 보다 생장(生長)의 촉진효과(促進效果)를 보였으며 기중(其中) phthalamidic acid 10 ppm 이 가장 좋은 성적(成績)을 보였다. 이것으로 보아 Imidan 자체(自體)는 생장(生長) 억제(抑制)의 효과(效果)를f 보이나 이것이 일단(一但) 생체내(生體內)에서 가수분해(加水分解)를 비롯한 각종(各種) 대사작용(代謝作用)을 받으면 그 대사산물(代謝産物)이 식물생장(植物生長)을 촉진(促進)하는 효과(效果)를 보이는 것 같다. (Table 1, Fig. 1 참조(參照)) (3) xylene을 용매(溶媒)로 하여 Imidan 유제(乳劑)를 만들고 이것을 희석(稀釋)하여 20 ppm, 100 ppm 및 200 ppm 의 각(各) 농도(濃度) 유화액(乳化液)을 조제(調製)한 후 이것을 배지(培地)로 하여 수도종자(水稻種子)를 발아(發芽)시킨 후 12 일(日)에 shoot와 root의 길이를 측정(測定)하였다. 이의 결과(結果)를 보면 root는 Imidan 20 ppm에서, shoot 는 Imidan 100 ppm에서 모두 xylene만의 유제구(乳劑區)인 control 보다 좋은 효과(效果)를 보였으며 여기에서 흥미(興味)있는 것은 용매(溶媒)로 사용(使用)된 xylene은 수도종자(水稻種子) 뿌리의 발육(發育)에 심(甚)한 억제효과(抑制效果)를 보이는 것 같다. (Table 2, Table 5 참조(參照)) (4) 벼를 pot에 심고 2회(回)에 걸쳐 control, Imidan, N-hydroxy methyl phthalimide, anthranilic acid 및 phthalimide의 10, 25, 50, 100 ppm 농도(濃度)의 각(各) 유제(乳劑)를 살포하고 일정기간후(一定期間後) 생육상(生育相)을 조사(調査)하였더니 Imidan 구(區)와 N-hydroxy methyl phthalimide 구(區)가 control 보다 좋은 성적(成績)을 보였다. (5) Imidan 250 ppm 유제(乳劑)를 수도엽면(水稻葉面)에 살포(撒布)하고 3 일(日), 5 일(日), 7 일(日) 및 14일후(日後)에 일정량(一定量)의 엽경(葉莖)을 채취(採取)하여 acetone으로 추출(抽出)k고 acetonitrile을 가지고 prechromatographic piriication 을 거쳐 paper chromatography에 의(依)하여 다음과 같은 대사물질(代謝物質)을 검출(檢出)하였다. Imidan $(Rf:\;0.97{\sim}0.98)$, N-hydroxy methyl phthalimide (Rf: 0.87), phthalimide $(Rf:\;0.86{\sim}0.87)$, phthalamidic acid $(Rf:\;0.13{\sim}0.14)$, phthalic acid $(Rf:\;0.02{\sim}0.03)$, benzoic acid $(Rf:\;0.42{\sim}0.43)$ 및 p-amino benzoic acid 또는 p-hydroxy benzoic acid $(Rf:\;0.08{\sim}0.09)$와 Rf=0.73, 0.59, 0.33, 0.23, 0.07의 미지물질(未知物質)을 검출(檢出)하였다. 또한 3일(日), 5일(日) 등(等) 초기(初期)에서는 미분해(未分解)의 Imidan과 최초(最初)의 가수분해(加水分解) 산물(産物)인 N-hydroxy methyl phthalimide등(等)이 비교적(比較的) 다량(多量)으로 검출(檢出)되었으나 7일(日), 14일(日) 등(等) 후기(後期)에는 생체내(生體內)에서 더 많은 분해(分解)를 받아 상기(上記) 이성분(二成分)은 양(量)이 감소(減少)되고 phthalic acid, phthalamidic acid benzoic acid 및 p-hydroxy benzoic acid 또는 p-amino benzoic acid등(等)의 양(量)이 증가(增加)되는 것을 볼 수있었으며 도체상(稻體上)에 살포(撒布)된 Imidan 은 체내(體內)에 흡수(吸收)되어 14일(日)이 경과(經過)되면 대부분(大部分)이 분해(分解)를 받는 것으로 보여진다. 이상(以上)의 결과(結果)로 보아 Imidan은 자체(自體)로서는 식물생장(植物生長) 촉진작용(促進作用)이 없으나 식물체내(植物體內)에서 여러 가지 대사작용(代謝作用)(enzyme의 작용(作用))을 맡아서 각종(各種) phthaloyl 영향(影響)을 주는 것으로 생각(生覺)된다.

본 연구는 정상 및 저수태 한우에 rbST를 투여하였을 때 수태 및 분만율에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 수행하였다. 시험축은 성빈 한우 383두와 임상적으로는 정상이나 3회 이상 수정시켜도 수태가 되지 않는 저수태 한우 79두, 총 462두를 시험에 공시하였다. 실험을 수행하기 위한 시험구 배치는 5개의 처리구, 즉 T1(무처리, 2ml의 생리 식염수), T2(rbST 250mg 수정시 1회 미근부에 투여), T3(rbST 250mg: 수정시 및 수정후 $10\~14$일째 2회 투여), T4(rbST 500 mg: 수정시 1회 투여) 및 T5(rbST 500mg: 수정시 및 수정후 $10\~14$일째 2회 투여)로 나누어 시험을 실시하였다. 그리고 호르몬과 병행 처리구는 Day 0일에 GnRH 100 ug/cow를 견갑부에 피하주사하고 Day 7일째 $PGF_2{\alpha}\;25mg/cow$를 주사하여 황체를 퇴행시키고, Day 9일째 GnRH 100ug/cow를 주사하여 배란 동기화를 유도하여 시험에 공시하였다. 1. 정상 한우에 인공수정시 rbST를 T1, T2, T3, T4 및 T5로 처리하였을 때, 1회 수정 수태율은 대조구$(52.4\pm9.72\%)$에 비하여 $T2(67.5\pm18.48\%)$에서 높은 것으로 나타났고, 저수태우에서는 대조구$(39.3\pm12.89\%)$보다 $T4(63.3\pm5.77\%)$에서 유의적으로 높은 수태율을 나타냈다.(p<0.05). 또한, 정상 한우의 분만율에 있어서는 처리구간 유의적인 차이가 인정되지 않았지만, 저수태우에서는 $T4(46.7\pm11.55\%)$에서 유의적으로 높은 성적을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 2. Ovsynch 방법으로 발정을 유기하여 인공수정시 rbST를 T1, T2, T3, T4 및 T5로 처리하였을 때, 1회 수정 수태율은 대조구에 비하여 T2에서 $12.5\%$가 높은 것으로 나타났고, 저수태우에서는 $T4(80.0\%)$에서 유의적으로 높은 수태 율을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 3. 정상 한우에 인공수정시 rbST를 T1, T2, T3, T4 및 T5로 각기 처리하였을 때, 임신 기간은 평균 $282.7\~284.8$일이었고, 또한 생시체중의 비교는 평균 $25.1\~25.9kg$으로서 처리 구간 유사한 결과를 보였다. 그러나, 송아지의 암수 성비는 T4 처리구(18두 vs. 9두)를 제외한 모든 처리구에서 유사한 경향을 보였다. 그리고, 저수태 한우의 평균 임신 기간은 $280.4\~289.3$일로서 정상우와 비교했을 때 비슷한 결과를 보였고, 또한 생시 체중의 조사 결과에서도 평균 체중이 $23.0\~26.6kg$으로서 각 처리구간에도 유의성은 없었다. 송아지의 암$\cdot$수의 성비는 T4 처리구(2두 vs. 8두)를 제외한 모든 처리구에서 유사하게 나타났다. 결론적으로, 본 연구에서는 정상 및 저수태 성빈 한우에 rbST를 투여한 후 수태율과 분만율을 조사한 결과 인공수정시 정상우에서는 rbST를 250mg 1회 투여, 그리고 저수태 한우에 있어서는 rbST를 500mg을 인공수정시 1회 투여하였을 때가 다른 처리구에서 보다 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서 인공수정시 일정량의 rbST투여는 한우의 수태 및 분만율을 향상시키는 것으로 사료된다.
