다른 기업과 거래관계를 형성하고 유지하는 것은 빠르게 변화하는 치열한 환경에서 대부분의 기업에게 불가피한 전략적 선택이다. 유통망 안의 모든 기업들도 결국 독립적 기업 간의 이러한 거래 계약으로 맺어져 있다. 하지만 모든 기업 간의 거래가 하나의 목표를 가지고 공동의 이익 창출을 위해 노력하여, 모두 효과적이고 효율적인 성과만을 낼 수는 없다. 대리인 이론에 따르면, 기업들은 모두 독립적 주체로서 각자의 이해를 추구하고, 위험을 회피하려하며, 제한된 합리성을 가지고 불충분한 정보를 처리하게 된다. 즉, 기업 간 거래관계는 그 속에서 신뢰와 협력을 기대하는 동시에, 갈등과 기회주의적 행위도 예측해야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 기업 간 거래의 갈등 원인을 확인하고, 실제 기업이 주로 활용하는 거래조정 방식의 갈등관리 효과를 밝히고자 한다. 이를 위해 관련된 기존 연구와 대리인 이론을 활용하여, 제조업자와 공급업자 간 갈등이 관계성과에 미치는 영향과 거래 위험요인(환경동태성, 자산특유화 수준)의 갈등 유발 효과, 그리고 국내 기업거래 연구에서 잘 다루어지지 않은 거래 조정방식의 갈등관리 효과를 가정하였다. 더불어 국내 중소기업 데이터 329개를 대상으로 연구모델을 검증하였다. 연구 결과, 구매기업(제조업자)의 환경 동태성과 자산 특유화 수준이 높을수록 더 큰 갈등이 유발되었으며, 이러한 B2B 갈등은 기업 간 관계질과 재무성과에 부정적 영향을 끼쳤다. 또한 사회적 조정방식과 법적 조정방식은 갈등의 관계질에 대한 부정적 영향을 매우 유의한 수준에서 완화시키는 조절효과가 검증되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 B2B갈등의 원인과 관리기법에 대하여 실증적으로 확인하였다는 의의가 있으며, 특히 국내 거래관리 연구에서 소홀히 다루어졌던 법적 계약 방식의 긍정적이고 유의한 효과를 확인하였다는 의의가 있다.

분종류(盆種類)에 따른 수분증발량(水分蒸發量), 분내토양온도(盆內土壤溫度) 및 토양공기조성(土壤空氣組成)의 차(差)를 조사(調査)하고, 이들 조건(條件)이 분식물(盆植物)의 생육(生育)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 구명(究明)하기 위해 본(本) 실험(實驗)을 수행(遂行)하였다. 분종류(盆種類)는 토분(土盆)(CP), 도자기분(盆)(POP), 프라스틱분(盆)(PLP)을 사용(使用)하였으며, 토분(土盆)을 사용(使用)할 경우 수분증발량(水分蒸發量)을 감소시키기 위한 방법(方法)으로서 토분외벽(土盆外壁)에 녹색(綠色)페인트를 칠한 것(CP-P), 투명(透明)니스를 칠한 것(CP-V), 토분내면(土盆內面)에 polyethylene film을 깐 것(CP-PI) 및 토분(土盆)의 분토표면(盆土表面)을 흑색(黑色) polyethylene film으로 피복한 것(CP-PM) 등을 사용(使用)하였다. 공시식물(供試植物)로서는 봉선화, 국화(菊花), 코스모스, 양담장이, 제라늄, 코키아, 만수국(萬壽菊), 엽모단(葉牡丹) 및 샐비어등(等)을 사용(使用)하였다. 1. PLP, POP, CP-P, CP-V 및 CP-PI에서 자란 식물(植物)은 CP에서 자란 식물(植物)보다 건물중(乾物重)이 무거웠다. 2. 모든 공시식물(供試植物)의 초장(草長)은 PLP, POP, CP-P, CP-V 및 CP-PI에서는 CP에서 보다 컸다. 3. Geranium의 엽수(葉數)는 PLP, POP, CP-P 및 CP-V는 CP에 비(比)해 많았다. 4. Balsam의 전생육기간중(全生育期間中)의 개화수(開花數)는 PLP, CP-P, POP, CP-V 및 CP-PI는 CP에 비(比)해 많았다. Marigold는 balsam과 비슷한 경향(傾向)을 나타내었으며, salvia는 화수수(花穗數)는 차(差)가 없으나 화수장(花穗長) 및 소화수(小花數)는 balsam 및 marigold의 개화수(開花數)와 동일(同一)한 경향(傾向)을 나타내었다. 5. PLP와 POP의 1일(日) 평균(平均) 증발량(蒸發量)은 CP의 약(約) 43%였으며, CP는 총증발량(總蒸發量)의 2/3가 벽면(壁面)을 통(通)해 증발(蒸發)되었다. 6. 분(盆)으로부터의 수분증발율(水分蒸發率)은 PLP, POP, CP-P, CP-V, CP-PI, CP-PM 및 CP의 순으로 늦었으며, 수분함량(水分含量)은 벽면증발(壁面蒸發)이 억제(抑制)된 분(盆)에서 관수(灌水) 1일후(日后)부터 CP보다 많았다. 7. 분토(盆土)의 온도(溫度)는 증발량(蒸發量)이 많은 분(盆)일수록 낮았으며, 분종류(盆種類)에 따른 온도차(溫度差)는 주간(晝間)에는 컷으나 야간(夜間)에는 적었다. 8. 분토중(盆土中)의 산소농도(酸素濃度)는 무공성분(無孔性盆)이 CP에 비(比)해 약간 낮았고, 그 차이(差異)는 0.40~1.2%였으며, 산소농도(酸素濃度)의 범위는 17.95~19.62%였다. 탄산(炭酸)깨스농도(濃度)는 무공성분(無孔性盆)이 토분(土盆)보다 높았으며, 농도(濃度)범위는 0.59~1.76%였는데 이 범위의 공기조성(空氣組成)은 식물생육(植物生育)에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않았다. 9. 분토(盆土)의 수분함량(水分含量)과 식물생육간(植物生育間)에는 정(正)의 상관(相關)을 나타내었다. 10. CP에 재배(栽培)한 식물(植物)은 PLP에 재배(栽培)한 식물(植物)보다 지상부중(地上部中)의 총질소함량(總窒素含量)이 약간 많았으며 C/N율(率)이 다소 낮은 경향(傾向)을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과(結果)로 보아 분내토양공기중(盆內土壤空氣中)의 산소(酸素) 및 탄산(炭酸)깨스농도(濃度)는 분식물(盆植物)의 생육(生育)을 조해(阻害)할 정도로 낮아지거나 높아지지 않아서 분식물(盆植物)의 생육(生育)에 영향(影響)을 미치지 않으며, 벽면증발량(壁面蒸發量)의 다소(多少)에 따른 분내토양중(盆內土壤中)의 수분함량(水分含量)의 변화(變化)가 분식물(盆植物)의 생육(生育)에 가장 큰 영향(影響)을 미치므로 무공성분(無孔性盆)의 이용(利用)은 특(特)히 우리나라에서 관수노력(灌水勞力)을 절약(節約)할 수 있어서 생산비절감(生産費節減)을 가져올 수 있다.

배경: 소아 환자에서의 승모판폐쇄부전은 성인에 비해 상대적으로 드물고 다양한 형태의 병변을 보인다. 또한 수술 기법도 덜 정형화되어 있으며 그 결과에 대한보고는 드물다. 본 연구는 이러한 다양한 원인에 의한 승모판페쇄부전이 있었던 소아 환자에 대해 시행된 승모판성형술의 결과를 후향적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1993년 12월부터 2006년 8월까지 승모판폐쇄부전으로 수술 받은 18세 이하의 환자 35명을 대상으로 하였다. 수술 당시 평균 연령은 $5.3{\pm}5.3$세였고 평균 체중은 $20.0{\pm}16.3kg$이었다. 술 전 승모판폐쇄부전의 정도는 Grade II가 9예, III, IV가 각각 16예, 10예였다. 18예에서 심장 기형을 동반하고 있었으며 심실중격결손이 9예로 가장 많았고, 주관상동맥-폐동맥 이상 연결증, 좌측 주관상동맥기시부 폐쇄 등도 각각 2예, 1예 있었다. 승모판의 병리적 소견은 판막엽의 탈출증이 17예로 가장 많았고, 판막에 열이 있는 경우가 7예, 짧은 건삭을 보인 경우가 6예, 판막륜의 확장을 보인 경우가 5예, 허혈성유두상근을 보인 경우가 2예, 유두상근형성부전이 1예 있었고, 심내막염에 의한 건삭파열이 1예 있었다. 승모판성형술은 이중입구성형술이 15예로 가장 많이 시행되었고, 봉합판막륜성형술 14예, 판막열 봉합술 7예, 유두상근 분리술 5예, 링을 이용한 판막륜 성형술 4예, 판막엽 절제술 4예, 신건삭 형성술 2예 각각 시행되었다. 술 후 평균 추적 관찰 기간은 $47.5{\pm}39.0$개월($2{\sim}138$개월)이었다. 결과: 수술 후 조기 사망은 없었다. 술 후 승모판폐쇄부전의 정도는 1명의 환자를 제외하고 모두 의미 있는 감소를 보였다. 8명(24.2%)이 재수술을 시행 받았고 이 중 5명은 승모판치환술을 받았다. 재수술의 원인으로는 승모판 협착이 3예, 잔류 승모판폐쇄부전이 5예였다. 승모판협착은 링을 이용하여 수술한 4명의 환자 중에서 2명이 발생하였고, 폐쇄부전은 이중입구성형술을 시행 받은 환자 14명중에서 4명에서 발생하였다. 재수술 후 조기 사망 1명, 만기 사망 1 명이 있었다. 환자들의 5년 생존율은 $93.3{\pm}4.6%$, 5년 재수술의 회피율은 $76.1{\pm}8.2%$, 5년 승모판치환술의 회피율은 $83.6{\pm}6.7%$였다. 통계학적으로 의미 있는 재수술의 위험인자는 발견할 수 없었다. 결론: 승모판폐쇄부전이 있는 소아 환자에서 시행된 승모판 성형술은 양호한 중단기 성적을 보였으나 비교적 높은 재수술의 가능성은 남아 있어 향후 재수술의 원인과 대책에 대한 좀더 깊이 있는 연구가 필요하다고 생각한다.

Lysimeter 시험(試驗)에서는 잠재증발산량(潛在蒸發散量)과 최대증발산량(最大蒸發散量)을 측정(測定)하였고, 관개포장시험(灌漑圃場試驗)에서는 시기별(時期別) 토양수분(土壤水分)을 측정(測定)하여 실증발산량(實蒸發散量)을 계산(計算)하고 수량(收量)을 조사(調査)하였다. 시험(試驗)을 통(通)하여 얻어진 성적(成績)과 기상자료(氣象資料)의 상호관계(相互關係)를 다각적(多角的)으로 비교(比較)하여 증발산량(蒸發散量)과 수량추정모형(收量推定模型)을 설정(設定)하고 검정(檢定)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. 잠재증발산(潛在蒸發散)의 5년간(年間) 측정치(測定値)의 평균치(平均値)는 4월초순(月初旬) 2.38mm/day 에서 시일(時日)이 경과(經過)함에 따라 점점(漸漸) 증가(增加)되어 6월중순(月中旬)에 3.98로 최고치(最高値)를 보이고 다시 감소(減少)되어 11월중순(月中旬)에는 1.06으로 떨어졌다. 기존(旣存) 공식(公式)에 의한 잠재증발산추정치(潛在蒸發散推定値)는 실측치(實測値)에 비(比)하여 Penman법(法), Radiation법(法), Blaney-Criddle법(法)은 과다(過多)하게 추정(推定)되고, Pan evaporation법(法)은 과소(過少)하게 추정(推定)되는 경향을 보였다. 추정치(推定値)와 실측치간(實測値間)에는 전체적(全體的)으로 보아 고도(高度)의 유의(有意)한 상관(相關)이 있었으나, Blaney-Criddle법(法)은 7, 8월(月)에 상관(相關)이 없다는 것이 특이(特異)하였다. 2. 기상요인중(氣象要因中) 잠재증발산량실측치(潛在蒸發散量實測値)와 유의(有意)한 상관(相關)이 있는 것은 기온(氣溫), 대기포차(大氣飽差), 일조시수(日照時數), 일사량(日射量), Pan증발량(蒸發量)이었으며, 이들 요인(要因)을 고려(考慮)한 다중회귀식(多重回歸式)은 PET산정식(算定式)으로 활용(活用)이 가능(可能)하였다. 잠재증발산량(潛在蒸發散量) 추정모형(推定模型)으로서는 Pan 증발량(蒸發量)(Eo)을 사용(使用)한 회귀식(回歸式)이 가장 간편(簡便)하고 정확(正確)하였다. PET= 0.712 + 0.705 Eo 3. 잠재증발산량(潛在蒸發散量)에 대한 최대증발량(最大蒸發量)(ETm)의 비(比)로 정의(定義)된 작물계수(作物係數)(Kc)는 배추생육초기(生育初期)에 0.5~0.7 범위(範圍)이었으며, 생육중기(生育中期)부터는 0.9~1.2범위(範圍)로 유지(維持)되었다. 작물계수(作物係數)는 생육진도(生育進度)(G ; 0~1.0)의 2차함수(次函數)로부터 추정(推定)할 수 있었다. 봄배추 : $$Kc=0.598+0.959G-0.501G^2$$ 가을배추 : $$Kc=0.402+1.887G-1.432G^2$$ 4. 최대증발산량(最大蒸發散量)에 대(對)한 실증발산량(實蒸發散量)의 비(比)로 정의(定義)된 토양수분계수(土壤水分係數)(Kf)는 근권(根圈)의 유효수분률(有效水分率)(f)이 임계치(臨界値)(fp)이상(以上)에서는 1.0 수준(水準)으로 유지(維持)되다가 그 이하(以下) 에서는 f에 따라 직선적(直線的)으로 감소(減少)되었다. Kc와 f와의 관계(關係)에 있어서 fp와 직선함수(直線函數)의 기울기는 재배시기(栽培時期)와 PET에 따라 각각 다르게 나타났다. Kf=1.0, if $$f{\geq}fp$$ $$Kf=a+b{\cdot}f$$, if f＜fp 5. 층위별(層位別) 토양수분함량(土壤水分含量)으로부더 근권(根圈)의 물보유량변화(保有量變化)(${\Delta}S$) 계산(計算)에 있어서 모관수(毛管水)의 상승(上昇)과 배수량(排水量)은 무시(無視)할 정도(程度)로 적었다. 침투량(浸透量)(I)이 있을때 표토(表土) 5cm에 보유(保有)되었다가 증발(蒸發)되어 버리는 물량(量)(Es)은 실증발산(實蒸發散) 추정한형(推定漢型)에서 별도로 고여(考濾)되어야 하며, Es는 근권(根圈)의 유효수분율(有效水分率)로부터 추정(推定)된 표사(表士) 5cm에서 증발가능(蒸發可能)한 최대(最大) 물량(Esm)과 I을 비교(比較)하여 결정(決定)할 수 있었다. Es = I if I < Esm Es = Esm if < Esm 380 6. 실증발산최(實蒸發散最)(ETa) 추정모형(推定模型)은 물수지식(收支式)에 근거(根據)하여, 모관수(毛管水)의 상하이동양(上下移動量)은 무시(無視)하고 잠재증발산양(潛在蒸發散量)(PET), Kc, Kf, Es를 고려(考慮)하여 아래식(式)으로 설정(設定)되었다. $$ETa=PET{\cdot}Kc{\cdot}Kf+Es$$ 7.배추의 상대수양(相對收量)(Y/Ym) 추정모형(推定模型)은 재배기간중(栽培期間中)의 ETa의 대수함수(對數函數)의 형태(形態)로 설정(設定)되었다. $$Y/Ym=a+b{\cdot}{\ell}n(ETa)$$ 봄배추 : a=0.07, b =0.73 가을배추 : a=0.37, b =0.66 8. 설정(設定)된 모형(模型)에 의해 추정(推定)된 실증발산양(實蒸發散量)과 상대수양(相對收量)을 실측치(實測値)와 비교(比較)하여 본 결과(結果), 실증발산추정치(實蒸發散推定値)의 평균편차(平均偏差)는 봄배추에서는 0.29mm/day, 가을배추에서는 0.19mm/day이었으며, 상대수양추정치(相對收量推定値)의 평균편차(平均偏差)는 봄배추에서는 0.14, 가을배추에서는 0.09이었다. 9. 모형설정(模型設定)이 완료(完了)된 이후(以後) 별도(別途)로 3작기(作期)에 대(對)한 실측치(實測値)와 추정치간(推定値間)의 편차(偏差)도 모형설정기간(模型設定期間)의 것보다 오히려 더 적게 나오는 경향(傾向)을 보였다. 따라서 본추정모형(本推定模型)은 실제(實際) 활용가치(活用價値)가 있다고 판단(判斷)된다.

In order that, investigating the feature of patients suffering arthritis, analysing its contents, and grasping a Primary factor affecting it, I might offerbasic datas which could help to plan and perform healthy affairs to thake precautions beforehand, I have investigated, analysed, and studied a total of 320 patients suffering arthritis, who have received physiotherapy in hospital located in Teaegu area for five months, from November 1 1995 to March 30 1996, of which summary and conclusion is this. 1. The general feature of patients in investigative objects In the distribution of the distinction of sex, men accounted for 26.9% and women, for 73.1%, and, in the fistribution of age, 60-year-old or more, most for 27.2% and from 20 to 29 years old, least for 14.0%. In the distinction of a vocation, housewives most accounted for 34.7% and students(jobless men), least for 19.3%. In the distinction of a matrimonial state, married persons most accounted for 76.7% and people living alone(divorce, separation by death, separation), least for 11.4%. In the distinction of an economic state, the middle classes most accounted for 73.5% and the upper classes, least for 2.9%. In the distinction of their academic careers, graduates of a primary school most accounted for 26.9% and graduates of university, for 14.1%, of which patients, having the ability to decode the national language, reached to 11.3%. In the distinction of the house form, people living in independent houses most accounted for 76.4% and residents in apartment(having an elevator), least for 9.4%. 2. In the distribution of the recurring state in the distinction of the feature, the recurring group was more than the group of patients falling that ill at first as 62.2% and in the distinction of the feature of the recurring group, the recurring group turned high in case of men being from 50s to 60s years old or more, people living alone (divorce, separation by death, separation), students (joblessmen), people working in farming, stockbeeding, forestry, fisheries, a simple labour, graduates of a primary school I having the ability to decode the national language, the upper classes, people part two years since they begined to suffer arthritis, people who had members having ever experienced arthritis among families. 3. In the distribution of arthritis on the distinction of bodily pars, a knee articulation most accounted for 50.2% and the articulation of fingers, for 8.8%, wile the simultaneous, several parts (multiple) accounted for 35.1%. In the distinction of the feature, arthritis of a knee turned high in case of men being from 20s to 30s years old, unmarried persons, people having academic careers of university, the middle classes, residents in apartment (having stairs). In the dictnction of a feature the case of several parts (multiple) turned high in case of women being from 50s to 60s years old or more, people living alone (divorce, separation by death, separation), people having the ability to decode th. national language, the graduates of a primary school, the upper classes, residents in apartment (having elevator). 4. In the distribution of arthritis on e distinction of a contracting term, two years or more most accounted for 51.6% and the case of contacting from one year to two years, for 15.3%. Analysing the distinction of the feature, the case of two years or more turned high in case of women being from 50s to 60s years old or more, people living alone (divorce separation by death, separation), the upper classes, people having the ability to decode the national language, residents in apartment (having elevator). 5. In the distribution of an treatment institution before patients came to help, their not curing most accounted for 39.1%, general, orthopedic, neurological surgery (physical therapy), for. 20.0%, and th. therapy of Chinese medicine (acupuncture, moxacautery, Chinese medicine), for 17.5%, and a pharmacy (medical therapy), for 13.4%. The case of patients not curing, in the distinction of a feature, turned high in case of men 20s years old, unmarried, the lower classes, people having academic careers of university, residents in apartment (having elevator). 6. In e distribution of the extent of satisfaction with treatment, common most accounted for 54.4% and some satisfaction, for 32.8%. The case of common, in the distinction of a feature, turned high, in case of men living alone from 50s to 60s years old (divorce, separation by death, separation), married persons, the upper classes, people having academic careers of university, residents in independent house, residents in apartment (having elevator), 7. In the distribution of the degree of knowledge of the cause of arthritis, patients knowing that the cause is to use very much a articulation in normal times most accounts for 60.1%, and patients knowing the state of short nutrition as a cause, for 2.5%. The case of patients knowing that the cause is to use very much in normal times, in the distinction of a feature, turned high in·case of ment being 20s and 60s years old or more, unmarried persons, e lower classes, people having the ability to decode. the national language, people having academic careers of university, residents in apartment (having stairs), 8. In the distribution of the state of physical exercise before arthritis contracted, patients exercising very much on the whole most accpimend for 40.3%, and patients not exercising, for 34.7%. The case of patients exercising very much on the whole, in the distinction of the feature, turned high in case of men being from 50s to 60s years old or more, people living alone(divorce, separation by death, separation), the lower classes, people having the ability to decode the national language, graduates of a primary school, residents in apartment (having elevator). 9. In the taste of patients suffering from arthritis, while the group of patients falling that ill at first and the recurring group didn't smoke cigarets, during alcohol and coffee on the whole, and the group of patients falling once again that ill drank a cup of distilled linquor and three cup of coffee or more on the whole per one day, and the group of patients falling that ill at first liked sort of vegetables and the recurring group liked very much sons of vegetables and fresh and meat in their loving food normal times. 10. Analysing the distribution on the dining table used by patients and the structure of a powder room, at first, in the structure of a powder room, the group of patients filling that ill have a toilet stool using as their sits, and a Bush toilet on the whole, and the recurring group, a toilet stool using as their sits and conventional type, and in the structure of a dinning table, the group of patients falling that ill at first and the recurring group turned high, each as 66.9% and 6.3%, who have a dining table carring here and there. 11. In the distribution of patients of arthritis in relation to stress, the case that they feeled severly symptoms of arthritis when thay got stress, turned high, each, as 78.6% in the recurring poop, and the case not knowing, as 61.5% in the first group. In the extent of stress normal times, the case that they got much stress on the whole turned high, each, as 72.4% in e recurring group, and the care that got less stress on the whole, as 60.0%. 12. In the distribution on the distinction of symptoms and impedimental extent, the recurring group turned high in each variable. Analysing the feature of the recurring group, in the distinction of symptoms, the case that they fooled much that the node of an articulation is stiff, turned high, as 71.6, and in the distinction of treatment before. patients came to helpk, the theraphy of Chinese medicine (physical theraphy), as 84.4%, the theraphy of Chinese medicine (acupuncture, moxacautery, Chinese medicine), as 73.2%, and in the distinction of the satisfing extent on treatment, the case of comman, as 72.3%, and in the cause of arthritis, the case not recruiting their health after a birth, as 68.5%, and the case not recovering wholely an articulation having got hurt, as 62.8%, and in the state of physical exercise before they begined suffering from arthritis, the case exercising very much on the whole, (as 74.2%), and in the extent of subjective impediment, the case of not being able to act almost, as 66.7%, the case of acting but feeling some hard, as 66.3%. 13. The correlation in variables in relation to arthritis Analysing realted variables, the recurring frequency showed correlation with such as the extent that patients got stress normal times, and the exercising state before suffering arthritis, and showed contra-correlation with academic careers, the wights, coffee. The cigaret, e loving food of taste, showed corralation with the weight, stature, alcohole as the loving food of taste. On the basis of this result medical members of heal, who are related to the regular education, public education or development of this program, should be concerned to prevent orthris.

본 연구는 서울시에 거주하는 남자 중 고생을 대상으로 흡연과 음주 현황을 조사하여 흡연 유무에 따라 비흡연군 (199명), 흡연군(11명), 흡연 음주군(52명)으로 분류하였으며, 설문을 통해 흡연과 음주습관, 식생활 관련사항 및 영양섭취상태 등을 조사하여 흡연과 음주습관이 식생활 습관, 영양소 섭취상태 및 건강상태에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 조사하였다. 전체 조사대상자의 신장 및 체중은 각각 $173.5{\pm}6.8\;kg$, $64.83{\pm}11.8\;cm$로 신장은 한국인 체위 기준치에 비해 1.5 cm 이상 더 컸으며, 체중은 1.0 kg 정도 높게 조사되었고, 전체 조사대상자의 체질량지수의 평균값은 $21.4{\pm}3.7\;kg/m^2$정도로 나타났다. 전체 조사대상자의 89% 이상이 건강에 대해 관심이 있는 것으로 조사되었으며, 43.5%의 청소년이 자신만의 건강유지 비결로 규칙적인 운동을 가장 많이 손꼽았다. 또한 66.0%의 청소년이 실제로 운동을 하고 있었으며, 일주일에 평균 3번 정도한다고 답한 전체 응답자는 37.3%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였다. 1회 운동 시 평균 운동시간은 30분${\sim}$1시간 정도가 가장 많은 비율(46.3%)을 차지하였다. 흡연자 63명 중 음주를 하는 학생이 52명 82.5%이었으며, 11명 17.5%만은 흡연만 하여 본 연구결과에서 보면, 흡연을 하는 경우 음주를 동시에 하는 것으로 조사되었다. 55.6%의 남자 중 고생은 중학교 때 흡연을 시작하였으며, 흡연 동기는 38.1%가 호기심으로 시작했다고 답하였다. 특히 배고플 때 흡연욕구를 강하게 느꼈으며, 흡연 장소로는 화장실이라고 답하였다. 흡연기간은 6개월에서 1년 사이가 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였고, 하루 흡연량은 하루에 $5{\sim}10$개피를 핀다고 답한 비율이 가장 많이 차지하였다. 금연을 하기 위해 시도했던 방법으로는 그냥 참은 경우가 69.0%였으며, 금연에 실패한 이유로는 의지부족이 44.4%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였다. 금연의 의향을 묻는 질문에는 전체 조사대상자의 87.1%가 금연을 하고 싶다고 답하였으나, 금연 프로그램을 실시하면 참여하겠느냐는 질문에는 단지 56.7%만이 참여하길 원하였다. 흡연 음주군에서 음주 시작 시기는 50.0%가 고등학교 때 시작하였으며, 사교적 필요성에 의해서 음주를 시작하였다고 답하였다. 음주는 주로 지정된 장소에서 하였으며, 조사대상자의 반 이상의 남자 중 고생이 한 번에 마시는 술의 양은 소주 한 병이하라고 답하였다. 음주의 욕구를 강하게 느낄 때는 친구가 술을 먹을 때라고 답하였으며, 금주 의향을 묻는 질문에는 단지 40.4%만이 금주를 하겠다고 답하였다. 34.4%의 아동이 매일 아침식사를 하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 아침식사를 전혀 하지 않는 결식률도 16.4%나 되었다. 아침식사를 거르는 이유로는 47.0%가 '아침시간이 바빠 시간이 없어서'라고 답하였으며, 건강상의 문제를 고려해 볼 때 결식의 방안을 마련하는 것이 시급한 과제라고 사료된다. 과식을 하는 이유로는 전체 조사대상자의 52.5%가 좋아하는 음식이 많아서 과식을 하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 흡연 음주군에서 과식을 자주하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 간식의 경우 하루에 $1{\sim}2$회 한다는 전체 청소년의 비율이 72.6%를 차지하였으며, 간식으로 섭취하는 식품으로는 비흡연군에서는 빵류 및 감자 40.2%, 패스트푸드 및 튀김식품을 30.7%로 많이 섭취하고 있었으며(p<0.05), 흡연군에서는 탄산음료 및 빙과류를 간식으로 섭취하는 비율이 36.4%나 되었고, 흡연 음주군에서는 과일류(38.5%)와 패스트푸드 및 튀김식품(26.9%)을 간식으로 가장 많이 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었다. 남자 중 고생이 주식으로 섭취하는 탄수화물 식품의 섭취비율 중 비흡연군에서는 다른 군에 비해 잡곡과 현미를 각각 45.7%와 36.2%로 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 흡연 음주군에서는 과일을 자주 섭취하는 비율이 9.6%로 매우 낮았으며(p<0.05), 50.0%가 패스트푸드를 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었다. 식생활 평가에서는 흡연군에서 삼겹살, 갈비 등 지방이 많은 육류를 주 2회 이상 먹는 비율이 높았으며, 아이스크림이나 과자, 탄산음료를 주 2회 이상 간식으로 자주 먹는 비율도 54.3%로 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 전체적인 영양소 섭취상태는 $15{\sim}19$세 청소년의 영양섭취기준에 제시한 기준치에 비해 현저히 높았으며, 열량 섭취의 경우 비흡연군에 비해 흡연군과 음주 흡연군에서 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 특히 흡연 음주군에서는 다른 군에 비해 인이 유의하게 높은 것으로 조사되었으며(p<0.05), 콜레스테롤(p<0.05)과 소디움(p<0.05) 섭취량은 흡연군에서 가장 높았다. 본 연구결과 청소년들이 흡연과 음주를 하게 되는 가장 큰 이유가 친구나 학교 선 후배 등 또래 집단의 영향을 받는 것으로 조사되었으며, 충동적인 호기심에 의해 시작하는 경우가 많아 흡연과 음주가 건강에 미치는 유해성에 대한 인식이 부족하였다. 또한 흡연을 하는 경우 음주를 동시에 하는 남자 중 고생이 82%가 넘는 것으로 나타나 청소년들의 흡연과 음주 실태는 심각한 사회 문제라 할 수 있으며, 식생활 습관도 음주 흡연군에서는 과일 섭취가 낮은 반면 고열량 식품 선호 및 과식을 하는 것으로 조사되었고, 흡연군에서는 육류 및 가공식품등의 섭취가 높았다. 따라서 선행연구(6)에서도 지적했듯이 친구들의 흡연과 음주의 권유를 단호하게 거절할 수 있는 대처방법을 습득시키거나 흡연과 음주의 욕구를 느낄 때의 실질적인 대처 수단 및 금연을 하는 구체적인 방법 등의 현실적인 교육이 필요하다고 사료된다. 흡연과 음주로 인해 발생되는 편식이나 과식 등의 잘못된 식습관을 바로 잡아 청소년의 성장 발달에 도움을 줄 수 있는 균형적인 영양섭취가 중요하며, 영양적인 중요성을 인식할 수 있는 교육도 뒷받침되어야 할 것이다. 또한 청소년 시기에 먹거리의 중요성을 인식시켜 건강에 유익하고, 안전한 식품을 선택할 수 있는 감각을 습득시키는 것도 중요할 것으로 사료된다.

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.

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.
