연구배경: 주기성 사지운동장애(PLMD)는 여러 수면장애와 함께 공존하는 경우가 많으며, 특히 수면관련 호흡장애(SRBD)와의 관계는 밀접하다고 알려져 있다. PLMD는 반복적이고 상동증적인 사지의 움직임에 의하여 전기생리적인 각성을 일으키기 때문에 불면증과 주간 졸립증을 초래하므로 이에 대한 관심이 필요하다. 본 연구는 SRBD 환자에서 PLMD의 빈도를 조사하고, PLMD로 진단된 환자군의 특성을 조사함으로써, SRBD 환자에서 PLMD의 동반 이환에 대한 이해를 높이는데 있다. 대상 및 방법: 진단적인 수면다원 검사로 수면관련 호흡장애의 진단이 내려진 106명을 대상으로 이들의 수면기록을 후향적으로 조사하였다. 수면다원 검사의 기록과 판독은 표준적인 방법을 사용하였다. OSA 의 진단은 RDI가 10 이상인 경우 내렸고, UARS는 낮 동안에 심한 졸림증을 호소하고 수면다원 검사상 RDI가 5 이하이나 호흡노력의 증가에 이어서 짧은 각성이 반복되는 경우 내렸다. 수면중 주기성 사지운동장애의 진단은 주기성 사지운동지수가 5 이상일 때 내렸다. 자료처리는 SPSS/$PC^+$를 이용하였다. 곁 과: 평균연령은 49.5세였고, 성별은 남자 76명, 여자 30명이었다. 진단은 폐쇄성 무호흡증 78명, 상기도저항증후군 28명이었다. 전체 연구대상의 평균 수면효율은 76.3%, 평균 호흡장애 지수는 22.3/hr, 평균 혈중 산소포화도는 84.9%로 중등도의 수면중 호흡장애가 있음을 알 수 있다. 평균 주지성 사지운동 장애지수는 13.1/hr였으며 70% 이상의 환자들이 32/hr 이하에 분포하였고 개인차이가 많았다. 주기성 사지운동 장애지수가 5 이상으로 수면중 주기성 사지운동장애를 동반한다고 판단된 군이 47명으로 전체의 44.3%를 차지하였다. 수면중 주기성 사지운동장애를 동반하는 군과 동반하지 않는 군의 비교에서, 두 군간에 나이, 무호흡 지수, 성별, 1 단계 수면의 백분율에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 결 론: 본 연구의 결과는 이전의 타 연구들보다 수면관련 호흡장애에서의 주기성 사지운동장애의 동반이환율이 더 높다. PLMD를 동반하는 군의 나이가 유의하게 더 많고, 여성에서의 동반율이 더 높고, 무호흡 지수(apnea index)가 유의하게 더 낮다. 수면중 주기성 사지운동장애는 수면관련 호흡장애와 함께 불면증과 주간 졸림증을 초래하고, 본 연구에서 뒷받침 하듯이 수면중 호흡장애 환자에서 흔히 함께 동반되기 때문에, 수면관련 호흡장애 환자의 진단 및 가료시 이에 대한 배려가 필요하다.

1995~1996년중 부곡 지열수 지역에서 채수한 유형별 자연수를 대상으로 수문지구화학 및 환경동위원소 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 지역에는 물리화학적으로 뚜렷히 구분되는 세 유형의 자연수, 즉 (1) 군접 I (지열수 지역의 중심부에서 산출되고 최대 $77^{\circ}C$의 용출 온도를 갖는 $Na-SO_4$ 유형), (2) 군집 II(외곽부에서 산출되며 다소 낮은 온도를 갖는 $Na-HCO_{3}-SO_{4}$ 유형) 및 (3) 군집 III(지표수나 천층 냉각 지하수로서 $Ca-HCO_3$ 유형)이 함께 산출된다. 군집 I은 Ia 및 Ib로 세분된다. 수문지구화학적 진화는 수 암 반응의 증가에 따라 군집 III$\rightarrow$II$\rightarrow$I의 순으로 진행되었다. 군집 II 및 III의 자연수는 비교적 낮은 수-암 반응, 특히 방해석 및 Na-사장석의 용해 반응에 의해 형성되었지만, 군집 I은 사장석, K 장석, 백운모, 녹려석, 황철석 등과의 높은 수-암 반응에 의해 형성되었다. 용존 황산염의 농도 및 황동위원소 조성은 지열수의 기원 및 전화를 해석하는데 중요한 정보가 된다. 용존 황산염은 퇴적 기원 황철석의 산화에 의해 생성되거나 (군집 Ib의 경우), 또는 열수의 상승 통로인 단열대에 존재하는 마그마 열수기원 황철석의 용해에 의해 생성되었다 (군집 Ia의 경우). 지열 저장지의 온도 규명을 위한 알칼리 이온 지옹계의 적용성은 화학조성을 변화시키는 요인들, 특히 마그네슘이 풍부한 지표수와의 혼합에 의해 제한된다. 그러나 다성분 광물/물 평형계에 대한 열역학적 계산 및 유체포유물 설험 결과, 심부 지열 저장지 (냉각중인 화성암체?)의 온도는 $125^{\circ}C$에 이르는 것으로 판단된다. 환경동위원소 (산소-수소, 삼중수소) 연구에 의하면, 자연수는 모두 상이한 충진 특성을 갖는 강우로부터 기원하였다. 특히 군집 Ia의 물은 심부 지열 저장지까지 심부 순환한 오래된 (40년 이상) 강우로부터 기원하였으며 지표부 물과의 혼합 정도도 낮다. 본 논문에서는 황산염이 풍부한 국내 지열수의 성인 및 진화에 관한 모델을 제시한다.

Recently Carter(1952) reported the capsule antigens of Pasteurella multocida could be divided into four serological types A,B,C and D by means of precipitation tests. Subsequently he showed that the most sensitive for identification of these types involved the use of capsule substance adsorbed by erythrocytes in hemagglutination test. It may be somewhat difficult to conduct the hemagglutination test in small laboratory, because relatively large amounts of antisera and erythrocytes of the human O type are required for the test. A simple method for serological typing of P. multocida was the slide agglutination test employed by Little et al. (1943) and Namioka et al. (1962), but this method is still in controversy. The author tried adapting Carter's hemagglutination method to the slide method so called "micromethod technique", and studied on the stabilization of erythrocytes for use of slide hemagglutination to P. multocida although many invesigators reported the stabilization of erythrocytes. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. A simplified method (slide method) for capsule typing of the organism was developed by adapting Carter's hemagglutination reaction(tube method). Antibody-containing serum can be diluted serially on Boerner's microtest slide with capillary or serological pipetts with a considerable accuracy. The slide reaction can be carried out with case on the slide by adding $0.05m{\ell}$ of antigen-sensitized erythrocytes suspension diluted to one percent on $0.05m{\ell}$ of serially diluted antibody-containing sera, and the final result can be read after 60 minutes at the room temperature ($15^{\circ}C$). 2. It is difficult to determine superiority of inferiority between the slide method and the tube method on the pattern of the reaction of hemagglutination. 3. The pH range of 6.6 to 8.3 is optimal for the slide hemagglutination reaction. 4. The antigen-sensitization against erythrocytes at $37^{\circ}C$ is optimal for the slide hemagglutination. 5. Both the doses and concentration of antigen do not influence the antigen-adsorbing capacity of erythrocytes. 6. The reduction of antigen-sensitizing hours does not influence the antigen-adsorbing capacity of erythrocytes even 30 minutes. 7. The tannic acid treatment against formalinized and non-formalinized erythrocytes showed no effect on the reaction of hemagglutination. 8. The erythrocytes preserved at $4^{\circ}C$ in the ACD solution do not decrease the reactivity on the reaction of hemagglutination for 60 days, while they begin slight hemolysis 30 days after preserving. 9. The stable preparation of erythrocytes can be obtained by treating the cells at $37^{\circ}C$ for 20 hours with from 4 to 8 percent of formalin in saline or buffer. These cells can be preserved at $4^{\circ}C$ for more than 8 months experimented without hemolysis. With low concentration of formalin, the cells were not sufficiently stabilized resulting in the hemolysis after short period of preservation at $4^{\circ}C$. 10. The erythrocytes treated with 16 percent of formalin remain constantly or increase the reactivity for the reaction of hemagglutination. On the contrary, the cells treated with I to 8 percent of formalin decrease the reactivity. 11. There is no difference between nontreated fresh erythrocytes and the erythrocytes preserved in the ACD solution on the reactivity against the hemagglutination, and the erythrocytes treated with 16 percent of formalin showed the reactivity of higher level than that of the above two kinds of erythrocytes. 12. There is no difference between the saline and the isotonic buffer solution on the reaction of hemagglutination.

음주 후 만취된 상태에서는 불법을 행하더라도 "원인에 있어서 자유로운 행위"의 법리가 적용되지 않는 한 책임조각으로 처벌되지 않는 것이 원칙이다. 그러나 통상적으로 발생될 수 있고 또한 발생되고 있는 주취상태에서의 범죄행위의 위험성과 폐해는 단순히 묵과할 수 없는 현실임을 부정할 수 없다. 다만 주취범죄에 대한 일반의 우려와 반감이 크더라도 이를 법적 이론적 근거 없이, 그리고 책임원칙마저 무시하고 처벌할 수는 없는 노릇이다. 그렇다고 해서 책임원칙에 입각할 때 사실상 책임조각 혹은 감경이 되어야 하는 명정범죄에 대해 우리 법원이 특별한 근거 없이 책임감면에 대해 소극적 태도를 취하는 것도 문제가 전혀 없다고 할 수도 없다. 이와 같은 진퇴양난의 문제에 대한 절충적 대응책으로 독일형법은 제323a조에 완전명정죄(Vollrausch) 처벌규정을 두고 있다. 독일의 이 형법규정은 책임원칙에 충돌함으로써 가장 난해한 논란에 싸인 규정이라는 데 다수가 공감한다. 그럼에도 불구하고 명정상태에서 불법을 행한 자에 대한 처벌을 포기할 수 없으므로 형사정책적으로 본 규정의 존립은 피할 수 없는 현실이라고 본다. 우리나라에서도 명정범죄에 대해 책임원칙과의 충돌에도 불구하고 실효적 법적 대응에 나서야 할 것으로 판단된다. 그러자면 완전명정죄 처벌규정을 두고 있는 독일 등 다른 나라와 마찬가지로 책임원칙의 관점에서 처벌규범의 정당화논거를 찾아야 하는 과제를 안게 된다. 이에 관련해서는 책임원칙을 존중하되 이에 양해를 구하여 완전명정죄 처벌규정을 예외적 책임인정규정으로서 해석하는 방법이 그나마 합리적이다. 요컨대 책임의 핵심을 위험에 대한 인식을 통해 불법의 회피가 가능했음에도 불구하고 불법을 선택함으로써 법의무를 다 하지 못했다는 비난가능성에 둔다면, 명정 이후의 행위에 대한 예견이 가능했던 범인이 명정상태에서 임의의 불법을 행한 경우 구체적 법익침해에 대한 불인식을 이유로 책임조각을 주장하는 것은 허용되지 않는다. 그러한 결과는 전형적으로 위험한 행동방식에서 연유한 것이며 당사자에게는 이를 회피할 사회적 책무가 있기 때문이다. 이때 음주행위 자체를 금지하는 것이 아니라 범인이 예견했던 개별적 위험을 실현한 행위에만 제한적으로 개입하여 위험을 단속하고 법익을 보호하는 것은 입법자의 의무일 뿐아니라 그러한 규정은 책임원칙에 전적으로 충돌하는 것은 아니라는 논리로 해결하는 것이 바람직하다. 이러한 사고결과를 토대로 다음 조항의 신설을 제안한다. 형법 제000조 [완전명정죄] (1) 고의 혹은 과실로 알코올 음료나 기타명정물질을 통해 명정상태에 빠진 자가 이 상태에서 죄를 범했으나 명정으로 인해 책임능력 없었기 때문에 그 행위를 처벌될 수 없는 경우에는 3년 이하의 징역 또는 벌금형에 처한다. (2) 전항의 형은 명정상태에서 범한 죄에 정한 형을 초과할 수 없다. (3) 명정상태에서 범한 죄에 공소제기를 위한 요건과 관련하여 특별한 규정이 있는 경우에는 제1항의 죄도 그 죄의 예에 의한다.

The purposes of this thesis are to clarify experimentally the variation of ground water temperature in tube wells during the irrigation period of paddy rice, and the effect of ground water irrigation on the growth, grain yield and yield components of the rice plant, and, furthermore, when and why the plant is most liable to be damaged by ground water, and also to find out the effective ground water irrigation methods. The results obtained in this experiment are as follows; 1. The temperature of ground water in tube wells varies according to the location, year, and the depth of the well. The average temperatures of ground water in a tubewells, 6.3m, 8.0m deep are $14.5^{\circ}C$ and $13.1^{\circ}C$, respercively, during the irrigation period of paddy rice (From the middle of June to the end of September). In the former the temperature rises continuously from $12.3^{\circ}C$ to 16.4$^{\circ}C$ and in the latter from $12.4^{\circ}C$ to $13.8^{\circ}C$ during the same period. These temperatures are approximately the same value as the estimated temperatures. The temperature difference between the ground water and the surface water is approximately $11^{\circ}C$. 2. The results obtained from the analysis of the water quality of the "Seoho" reservoir and that of water from the tube well show that the pH values of the ground water and the surface water are 6.35 and 6.00, respectively, and inorganic components such as N, PO4, Na, Cl, SiO2 and Ca are contained more in the ground water than in the surface water while K, SO4, Fe and Mg are contained less in the ground water. 3. The response of growth, yield and yield components of paddy rice to ground water irrigation are as follows; (l) Using ground water irrigation during the watered rice nursery period(seeding date: 30 April, 1970), the chracteristics of a young rice plant, such as plant height, number of leaves, and number of tillers are inferior to those of young rice plants irrigated with surface water during the same period. (2) In cases where ground water and surface water are supplied separately by the gravity flow method, it is found that ground water irrigation to the rice plant delays the stage at which there is a maximum increase in the number of tillers by 6 days. (3) At the tillering stage of rice plant just after transplanting, the effect of ground water irrigation on the increase in the number of tillers is better, compared with the method of supplying surface water throughout the whole irrigation period. Conversely, the number of tillers is decreased by ground water irrigation at the reproductive stage. Plant height is extremely restrained by ground water irrigation. (4) Heading date is clearly delayed by the ground water irrigation when it is practised during the growth stages or at the reproductive stage only. (5) The heading date of rice plants is slightly delayed by irrigation with the gravity flow method as compared with the standing water method. (6) The response of yield and of yield components of rice to ground water irrigation are as follows: \circled1 When ground water irrigation is practised during the growth stages and the reproductive stage, the culm length of the rice plant is reduced by 11 percent and 8 percent, respectively, when compared with the surface water irrigation used throughout all the growth stages. \circled2 Panicle length is found to be the longest on the test plot in which ground water irrigation is practised at the tillering stage. A similar tendency as that seen in the culm length is observed on other test plots. \circled3 The number of panicles is found to be the least on the plot in which ground water irrigation is practised by the gravity flow method throughout all the growth stages of the rice plant. No significant difference is found between the other plots. \circled4 The number of spikelets per panicle at the various stages of rice growth at which_ surface or ground water is supplied by gravity flow method are as follows; surface water at all growth stages‥‥‥‥‥ 98.5. Ground water at all growth stages‥‥‥‥‥‥62.2 Ground water at the tillering stage‥‥‥‥‥ 82.6. Ground water at the reproductive stage ‥‥‥‥‥ 74.1. \circled5 Ripening percentage is about 70 percent on the test plot in which ground water irrigation is practised during all the growth stages and at the tillering stage only. However, when ground water irrigation is practised, at the reproductive stage, the ripening percentage is reduced to 50 percent. This means that 20 percent reduction in the ripening percentage by using ground water irrigation at the reproductive stage. \circled6 The weight of 1,000 kernels is found to show a similar tendency as in the case of ripening percentage i. e. the ground water irrigation during all the growth stages and at the reproductive stage results in a decreased weight of the 1,000 kernels. \circled7 The yield of brown rice from the various treatments are as follows; Gravity flow; Surface water at all growth stages‥‥‥‥‥‥514kg/10a. Ground water at all growth stages‥‥‥‥‥‥428kg/10a. Ground water at the reproductive stage‥‥‥‥‥‥430kg/10a. Standing water; Surface water at all growh stages‥‥‥‥‥‥556kg/10a. Ground water at all growth stages‥‥‥‥‥‥441kg/10a. Ground water at the reproductive stage‥‥‥‥‥‥450kg/10a. The above figures show that ground water irrigation by the gravity flow and by the standing water method during all the growth stages resulted in an 18 percent and a 21 percent decrease in the yield of brown rice, respectively, when compared with surface water irrigation. Also ground water irrigation by gravity flow and by standing water resulted in respective decreases in yield of 16 percent and 19 percent, compared with the surface irrigation method. 4. Results obtained from the experiments on the improvement of ground water irrigation efficiency to paddy rice are as follows; (1) When the standing water irrigation with surface water is practised, the daily average water temperature in a paddy field is 25.2$^{\circ}C$, but, when the gravity flow method is practised with the same irrigation water, the daily average water temperature is 24.5$^{\circ}C$. This means that the former is 0.7$^{\circ}C$ higher than the latter. On the other hand, when ground water is used, the daily water temperatures in a paddy field are respectively 21.$0^{\circ}C$ and 19.3$^{\circ}C$ by practising standing water and the gravity flow method. It can be seen that the former is approximately 1.$0^{\circ}C$ higher than the latter. (2) When the non-water-logged cultivation is practised, the yield of brown rice is 516.3kg/10a, while the yield of brown rice from ground water irrigation plot throughout the whole irrigation period and surface water irrigation plot are 446.3kg/10a and 556.4kg/10a, respectivelely. This means that there is no significant difference in yields between surface water irrigation practice and non-water-logged cultivation, and also means that non-water-logged cultivation results in a 12.6 percent increase in yield compared with the yield from the ground water irrigation plot. (3) The black and white coloring on the inside surface of the water warming ponds has no substantial effect on the temperature of the water. The average daily water temperatures of the various water warming ponds, having different depths, are expressed as Y=aX+b, while the daily average water temperatures at various depths in a water warming pond are expressed as Y=a(b)x (where Y: the daily average water temperature, a,b: constants depending on the type of water warming pond, X; water depth). As the depth of water warning pond is increased, the diurnal difference of the highest and the lowest water temperature is decreased, and also, the time at which the highest water temperature occurs, is delayed. (4) The degree of warming by using a polyethylene tube, 100m in length and 10cm in diameter, is 4~9$^{\circ}C$. Heat exchange rate of a polyethylene tube is 1.5 times higher than that or a water warming channel. The following equation expresses the water warming mechanism of a polyethylene tube where distance from the tube inlet, time in day and several climatic factors are given: {{{{ theta omega (dwt)= { a}_{0 } (1-e- { x} over { PHI v })+ { 2} atop { SUM from { { n}=1} { { a}_{n } } over { SQRT { 1+ {( n omega PHI) }^{2 } } } } LEFT { sin(n omega t+ { b}_{n }+ { tan}^{-1 }n omega PHI )-e- { x} over { PHI v }sin(n omega LEFT ( t- { x} over {v } RIGHT ) + { b}_{n }+ { tan}^{-1 }n omega PHI ) RIGHT } +e- { x} over { PHI v } theta i}}}}{{{{ { theta }_{$\infty$ }(t)= { { alpha theta }_{a }+ { theta }_{ w'} +(S- { B}_{s } ) { U}_{w } } over { beta } , PHI = { { cpDU}_{ omega } } over {4 beta } }}}} where $\theta$$\omega$; discharged water temperature($^{\circ}C$) $\theta$a; air temperature ($^{\circ}C$) $\theta$$\omega$';ponded water temperature($^{\circ}C$) s ; net solar radiation(ly/min) t ; time(tadian) x; tube length(cm) D; diameter(cm) ao,an,bn;constants determined from $\theta$$\omega$(t) varitation. cp; heat capacity of water(cal/$^{\circ}C$ ㎥) U,Ua; overall heat transfer coefficient(cal/$^{\circ}C$ $\textrm{cm}^2$ min-1) $\omega$;1 velocity of water in a polyethylene tube(cm/min) Bs ; heat exchange rate between water and soil(ly/min)

배경 : 비특이성 간질성 폐렴(Nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis ; NSIP)은 통상성 간질성 폐렴(usual interstitial pneumonitis ; UIP)에 비해 치료에 대한 반응과 예후가 좋으므로 반드시 감별 진단하여 적극적인 치료가 필요하나 아직까지 일괄적 폐생검 이외에는 확실한 감별이 되지 않는 실정이다. 이에 외과적 폐생검으로 확진 된 NSIP와 UIP 환자들에서 임상적 특징과 방사선학적 소견의 차이점을 비교하고, 미국흉부학회에서 2000년에 제시한 IPF의 임상 진단기준을 적용하여 진단기준의 유용성올 평가해 보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 1996년 7월부터 2000년 3월까지 삼성서울병원에서 조직검사 상 UIP와 NSIP로 확진된 60명을 대상으로 후향적 조사를 하였다. 각 환자들의 임상 증상과 폐기능 검사, 동맥혈가스분석, BAL 및 흉부HRCT 소견을 비교하고, 미국흉부학회에서 제시한 IPF의 임상 진단기준에 적용하여 임상적 진단율을 비교해 보았다. 결과 : 1) 전체 60명 중 UIP 환자는 42명, NSIP 환자는 18명이었다. 2) UIP 환자의 평균 연령은 59.5$\pm$7.1세(45~74세)였고, NSIP 환자는 55.2$\pm$8.4세(44~73세)였으며 (p=0.046), UIP는 남자 33명, 여자 9명이었으나 NSIP는 남자 1명, 여자 17명이었다(p=0.001). 3) 호흡기 임상 증상의 유무 및 종류에는 차이가 없었으나, 동반 증상 중 발열은 NSIP 환자에서 많았고(p=0.034), 곤봉지는 UIP 환자에서 많았다 (p=0.023). 4) BAL의 세포 구성비는 NSIP 환자에서 림프구가 많았고(23% vs. 11% ; p=0.0001), CD4/CD8의 비는 NSIP가 더 낮았다(0.76$\pm$0.49 vs. 9.71$\pm$0.25 ; p=0.045). 5) HRCT 소견 상 봉와양 음영은 UIP 환자에서 더 흔히 보였다(86% vs. 0%; p=0.0001). 6) 미국흉부학회의 IPF 임상 진단기준에는 UIP 환자에서는 23.3 %(7/30명)가, NSIP 환자에서는 18.8% (3/16 명)이 만족하였다(p>0.05). 결론 : 나이가 비교적 적은 여자이면서 임상 증상 기간이 짧고 발열이 있으며 곤봉지의 소견이 없고, BAL에서 림프구가 많으며, HRCT 상 봉와양 음영이 없을 경우에는 NSIP를 더 시사하는 소견이며, 미국흉부학회의 IPF 임상 진단기준은 한국에서 유용성이 떨어져 앞으로 한국적인 임상 진단기준의 마련이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

연구배경 : 최근 면역기능저하 환자들이 급증하고 있으며 이들에 있어서 새로 발생된 설명이 불가능한 폐침윤은 매우 흔하면서도 환자의 생명을 위협할 수 있는 상황으로 발전할 수 있다. 폐진균증은 이런 임상상에서 폐침윤의 중요한 원인으로 대두되고 있으나 이에 대한 연구가 많지 않아 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1996년 10월부터 1998년 4월까지 삼성서울병원에서 면역기능저하 환자 중 새로운 폐침윤이 있었던 환자로 조직학적으로 폐에서 진균이 증명되었거나 정상적으로 균이 자리지 않는 부위(sterile)에서 시행한 배양검사장 진균이 배양된 환자들을 대상으로 임상적 특정, 방사선학적 소견, 진단적 검사, 치료 및 그 결과에 대해 후향적인 조사를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 총 13명의 환자 (M : F=8 : 5, 연령 중앙값 47세)에서 14예의 폐진균증이 진단되었다. 진단은 asperogillosis가 12예였고 mucormycosis가 2예였다. 혈액암 환자 9명에서 10예, 장기이식 환자에서 4예의 폐진균증이 진단되었다. 3예에서는 진단당시 경험적 amphotericin B를 중앙값 9일(8-21일)간 투여받고 있었다. 혈액암군 10예 중 9예에서 폐침윤 발견당시 백혈구 감소증이 중앙값 16일동안 지속되었으며 발열(9/10), 기침(6/10), 가래(5/10), 호흡곤란(4/10), 흉통 (5/10), 악설음(4/10) 등의 증상과 징후가 흔하게 관찰되었다. 반면에 장기이식환자군에서는 증상 및 징후가 뚜렸하지 않은 경우가 많았다(p<0.05). 단순 흉부촬영상으로 새로운 폐침윤은 단일 혹은 다발성의 결절(6/14)이나 경결(consolidation)(8/14)의 형태로 나타났으며 흉부 단층촬영상에서는 간유리음영(14/14), 흉수(5/14), 동공형성(7/14) 등의 소견이 관찰되었다. 확진한 방법으로는 개흉술이 10예, 비디오 흉강경술이 2예, 경피적침흡인술이 1예, 농양의 농 배양검사가 1예였다. 모든 환자는 amphotericin B(591-2806mg) 투여를 받았으며 1예에서 liposomal amphotericin B, 1예에서 경구 itraconazole로 치료를 부분적으로 시행하였다. Amphotericin B 투여 후 12/14예에서 폐병변의 호전이 관찰되었으며 14예중 4예에서 사망하거나 회복이 불가능한 상태로 퇴원하였다. 결 론 : 혈액암의 치료로 과립구감소증이 있는 환자나 장기이식 환자에서 새로운 폐침윤이 결절이나 경결의 형태로 발현하면, 증상이 미미하거나 경험적 amphotericin B를 투여하고 있더라도 폐진균증을 의심을 해야하며 적극적인 진단과 치료로써 예후를 호전시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

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.
