목적 : 비인강암에서 방사선치료는 근치적 목적으로 사용되고 있으나 방사선치료 후 이하선 기능 저하에 따른 구강 건조증이 생기는 것이 문제이다. 방사선치료에 의한 구강 건조증의 발생을 감소시키기 위해 방사선조사시 이하선을 보호하는 새로운 치료 기법을 개발하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 림프절 전이가 없고 종양의 침범 범위가 서로 상이한 비인강암 4례를 대상으로 2가지의 새로운 치료계획을 수립하고 기존의 2차원 통상치료계획과 비교하였다. 치료계획-A는 기존의 2차원 통상치료 방법이며, 치료계획-B는 져 Gy 이후에 축소조사를 3차원 입체 조형치료로 하는 것이며, 치료계획-C는 방사선 치료 처음부터 3차원 입체 조형치료를 이용하여 양측 이하선을 방사선 조사영역에서 제외시키면서 30.6 Gy에서 척수 차폐를 시행하고 져 Gy 이후에 축소조사시 비동일 평면 3차원 입체조형치료를 시행하는 방법이다. 위 3가지 치료계획은 모두 70.2 Gy의 선랸을 계획용 표적체적내 회전중심점에 처방하여 각 치료계획마다 계획용 표적체적과 이하선의 등선량 분포, 선량체적 히스토그람(dose volume histogram, DVH), 선량통계(dose statistics), 정상조직손상확률(normal tissue complication probability, NTCP)을 비교하였다. 결과 : 전 예의 환자에서 치료 표적 부위의 등선량 분포, 선량통계와 선량체적 히스토그람상 치료계획-C에서 치료선량이 표적체적 내에 보다 균일하게 조사되었다. 선량통계분석에서 이하선에 조사되는 평균 방사선량은 치료계획-C에서 가장 적었으며(치료계획-A 58 Gy, 치료계획-B 50 Gy, 치료계획-C 48.5 Gy), 46 Gy가 조사되는 체적도 가장 적었다(치료계획-A 100$\%$, 치료계획-B 98$\%$, 치료계획-C 69$\%$). 선량체적 히스토그람도 치료계획-C에서 가장 우수하였고, 선량체적 히스토그람을 이용하여 계산된 정상조직 부작용 확률도 치료계획-C에서 가장 낮았다. 결론 : 방사선치료 초기부터 3차원 입체조형치료를 적용하여 이하선을 치료 조사영역에서 제외하고, 축소 조사시에 다양한 조사방향을 가능하게 하기 위해 45 Gy 이전에 척수 차폐(spinal cord block)를 적용하는 이 같은 새로운 방사선치료 기법이 림프절 전이가 없는 비인강암의 환자에서 구강 건조증 발생을 감소시키는 방사선치료기법으로 추천될 수 있다고 사료된다.

목적: Philips GEMINI PET/CT 스캐너는 GSO 섬광결정을 사용해 제작된 전신용 PET/CT 스캐너이다. 이 연구에서는 NEMA에서 새롭게 제안한 NEMA NU2-2001에 따라 GEMINI PET/CT 스캐너의 공간분해능, 민감도, 산란분획, NECR 등을 평가하고 그 결과를 BGO, LSO등의 섬광결정의 특성과 비교하였다. 대상 및 방법: GEMINI는 Philips ALLEGRO PET과 MX8000 D multi-slice CT 스캐너를 결합한 PET/CT 스캐너로서 검출기는 GSO 섬광결정 ($4{\times}6{\times}20mm^3$)을 사용하였고 축방향 시야는 18 cm이다. 공간분해능. 민감도, 산란분획, NECR 등을 평가하기 위하여 PET 데이터를 획득하였다(동시계수창: 8 ns, 에너지창: $409{\sim}664$ keV). 공간분해능 측정을 위하여 축횡단면의 중심에서 1 cm, 10 cm 떨어진 지점의 각 3지점((a) x=0, y=1, (b)x=10, y=0, (c)x=0, y=10)에서 영상을 획득한 다음 여과후역투사방법(램프필터 사용)과 3D RAMLA를 이용하여 영상재구성을 하고 FWHM을 구하였다. 민감도 측정을 위하여 선선원(F-18)을 축횡단면의 중심과 중심에서 10 cm 벗어난 지점에서 5개의 알루미늄관을 차례로 씌워 매질감쇠에 따라 달라지는 참계수를 구하고 이 값을 회귀분석하여 감쇠매질이 없는 이상적인 상황에서의 민감도를 측정하였다(랜덤계수가 참계수의 1%이내). 산란분획과 NECR을 측정하기 위하여 F-18 선선원(1110 MBq)을 산란팬텀에 주입하여 7반감기동안 계수를 획득하였다. SSRB을 사용하여 3D 데이터를 재구성한 다음 랜덤계수율이 참계수율이 1% 미만인 영역에서 산란분획을 구하고 각 횡단면의 값을 평균하여 전체 산란분획을 얻었다. 이 값을 기초로 각 프레임, 각 횡단면에 대한 랜덤계수율, 산란계수율, NECR을 구하였다. 결과: 스캐너의 중심에서 1 cm 벗어난 지점에서 횡축방향, 축방향 공간분해능은 (1) 5.3, 6.5 mm (FBP), (2) 5.1, 5.9 mm (3D RAMLA)이었다. 횡단면의 중심에서 10 cm 벗어난 지점에서 횡축반경방향, 횡축접선방향, 축방향 공간분해능은 (1) 5.7, 5.7, 7.0 mm (FBP), (2) 5.4, 5.4, 6.4 mm (3D RAMLA)이었다. 감쇠매질이 없는 이상적인 상황에서의 민감도는 횡단면의 중심에서 3,620 counts/sec/MBq, 횡단면의 중심에서 10 cm 벗어난 지점에서 4,324 counts/sec/MBq이었다. 산란분획은 40.6%, 최대 참계수율과 최대 NECR은 각각 88.9 kcps @ 12.9 kBq/mL, 34.3 kcps @ 8.84 kBq/mL이었다. 결론: 이 실험에서 NEMA NU2-2001을 이용해 GSO 섬광결정을 사용해 제작된 PET/CT에 대한 성능 평가를 실시하였다. 이는 BGO, LSO 섬광결정을 사용해 제작된 PET 스캐너의 특성과 비교할 수 있는 자료를 제공하며 PET 영상 획득 시 객관적 평가와 분석에 유용하였다.

목적 : 난소 미분화배세포종은 젊은 가임기 여성에 발생하며 방사선에 대한 감수성이 높아 복식자궁전적출술 및 난관난소절제술 후 방사선치료를 시행하는 것이 통상적인 치료 방법이었다. 항암화학요법을 본격적으로 사용하기 이전에 서울내학교병원에서 방사선치료를 받은 환자를 대상으로 친료 성적을 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1980년 8월에서 1991년 5월까지 서울대학교병원 치료방사선과에서 방사선치료를 받은 18명을 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였는데, 16명의 환자는 수술 후 방사선치료를 받았고, 나머지 2명은 근치적 목적으로 방사선치료를 받았다. 수술 후 방사선치료를 받은 환자들의 추적기간은 51개월에서 178개월로 중앙값은 99개월이었다. 연령분포는 11세부터 42세로 중앙값은 22세이었다. 병기별 분포는 IA기 3명, IC기 8명, 11기 2명, 111기 3명이었다. 1명의 환자에서 Turner's syndrome이 동반되어 있었다. 방사선치료는 6 MV와 10 MV 선형가속기나 Co-60 원 격치료장치를 이용하였으며, 전 복부에 1950-2100cGy(중앙값=2000cGy)후 골반부에 1050-2520cGy를 추가하여 골반부에 총 3000-4500cGy(중앙값=3500cGy)를 조사하였다. 5명의 환자에 서는 대동맥임파절 부위에 900-1500cGy를 조사하였고, 대동맥 임파절 전이가 있었던 1명에서는 1620cGy후 전이 부위에 900cGy를 추가하여 총 4470cGy를 조사하였다. 대동맥 임파절 전이가 있었던 1명을 포함한 5명의 환자에서는 종격동 및 쇄골 상부에 2520cGy를 조사하였다. 절제가 불가능하여 방사선치료만 받은 2명의 환자는 111기 1명과 좌측 쇄골상 임파절 전이가 동반된 IV기 1명이었다. III기 환자에서는 전 복부에 2000cGy후 골반부에 2070cGy, 대동맥 임파절에 2450cGy를, IV기 환자에서는 전 복부에 2000cGy후 골반부 및 대동맥 임파절에 2400cGy, 종격동에 2520cGy 그리고 좌측 쇄골 상부에 3550cGy를 조사하였다. 결과 : 난관난소절제술 후 방사선치료를 시행 받은 환자의 5년 국소 치유율은 $100\%$이었으며 종격동 조사를 시행하지 않은 131기 환자 1명에서 종격동 전이가 발생하였으나 항암화학요법으로 치유되어, 전체 환자에서의 5턴 생존율은 $100\%$를 보였다. 방사선치료만 받은 2명의 환자는 각각 112, 155개월간 무병 생존하고 있다. 결론 : 난소 미분화배세포종에 있어서 난관난소절제술 후 방사선치료는 물론 수술이 불가능한 경우의 방사선치료의 완치율은 매우 높았다. 그러나, 방사선만 아니라 항암화학요법에 대한 감수성이 높고 치유율이 높으므로 난소의 기능을 보존할 필요가 있는 경우에는 항암화학요법을 시행하고 항암화학요법에 저항성이 있거나 치료 후에 재발된 경우에 방사선치료를 적용하는 것이 타당할 것이다.

점증하는 적조로부터 수산피해를 줄이는 것은 시급한 문제이다. 황토를 살포하여 적조생물입자를 응집 제거하는 것이 하나의 방법이 되고 있다. 황토를 이용하여 적조생물입자에 대한 응집실험을 한 결과는 다음과 같다. 본 실험에 사용한 황토입자의 입도 분포는 정규분포를 보여주는 하나의 peak로 나타났으며, 입자의 평균 지름은 $25.0 {\mu}m$이고, 약$84.5{\%}$의 황토입자가 $9.8-55.0{\mu}m$의 범위에 속하며 변동계수는 $65.1{\%}$이었다. 황토의 금속성분을 분석한 결과는 규소 (Si)가 $48{\%}$, 알루미늄 (Al)이 $35{\%}$, 철 (Fe)이 $11{\%}$로서 $94{\%}$를 차지하며 나머지 $48{\%}$는 칼릅 (K), 구리 (Cu), 아연 (Zn), 티타늄 (Ti) 등으로 구성되어 있었다. 전자현미경 사진에 나타난 황토입자의 표면은 거칠고 다공질이며 부정형의 입자로 되어 있었다. 황토입자는 $10^(-3)M$ NaCl의 수용액 중에서 pH가 증가함에 따라 negative zeta potential 값이 증가하여 pH 9.36에서 -71.3mV를 나타내고 이후 거의 일정한 값을 나타내었으며, pH 1.98에서 +1.8 mV를 나타내어 amphoteric surface charge를 가지는 물질의 성질을 나타내었다. 전하결정이온은 $H^+, OH^-$ 이온이고, pH 2 부근에서 PZPC를 나타내었다. 용액의 전해질이 NaCl일 경우 $10^(-2)M (pNa=2)$ 이상의 농도에서는 $Na^+$ 이온의 농도가 증가함에 따라서 황토입자의 negative zeta potential 값은 일률적으로 감소하다가 $Na^+$ 이온의 농도가 1M (pNa=0)이 되었을 때 zeta potential은 0에 근접하였다. 용액의 전해질이 2 :l electrolyte ($CaCl_2$와 $MgCl_2$)의 경우 $Ca^(+2)$ 이온의 농도가 증가함에 따라서 황토입자의 negative zeta potential 값이 일률적으로 감소하다가 약 $10^(-3)M (pCa=3)$의 농도에서 등전점을 나타내고 전하역전이 일어났다. 해수중의 황토와 적조생물 입자는 비슷한 negative zeta potential을 나타내었고, 점토 중에서 해사가 가장 큰 negative zeta potential을 나타내었다. 해수중에서 황토입자와 적조생물입자의 EDL은 해수에 포함된 고농도의 염류 농도로 인하여 극히 얇게 압축되고, 이런 상태에서 두 입자가 상호 접근할 경우 모든 간격에서 LVDW attractive force의 절대값이 EDL repulsive force의 절대값보다 항상 큰 값을 나타낸다. 해수중에서 황토입자와 적조생물입자는 모든 간격에서 negative total interaction energy 값 (attractive force)을 나타내어 항상 용이하게 floe을 형성할 수밖에 없는 조건에 있다. 적조생물입자의 응집제거 효율은 황토의 농도가 증가함에 따라서 지수함수적 ($Y=36.04{\times}X^(0.11); R^2=0.9906$)으로 증가하였으며, 황토의 농도 800mg/l까지 급격한 증가를 보이다가 황토의 농도가 계속 증가함에 따라서 완만한 증가를 나타내었다. 적조생물은 황토 6,400mg/l에서 거의 $100{\%}$ 응집제거 되었다. 황토 800 mg/l을 사용하고 G-value를 $1, 6, 29, 139 sec^(-1)$로 단계적으로 증가시킴에 따라 응집제거 효율은 지수함수적으로 증가하였다. 이는 응집반응의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 황토입자와 적조생물입자 사이에 충분한 충돌이 일어날 수 있도록 교반하는 것이 매우 중요함을 나타내 주는 것이다. $800mg/l$의 농도에서 황토는 철을 함유하지 않은 다른 점토보다 $28.8{\~}60.3{\%}$ 더 높은 처리효율을 나타내었다. 황토에는 >SiOH의 음전하단과 수중의 phenolphthalein alkalinity를 소모하는 수화금속화합물의 양전하단이 공존하며, 이 수화금속화합물에 의하여 황토가 나머지 점토 특히 해사와 다른 응집특성을 보여주는 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 춘천지역 일부 여대생 253명을 대상으로 아침식사 빈도에 따른 신체질량지수(body mass index, BMI), 식행동 및 영양소 섭취상태를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 아침식사를 주 5회 이상 섭취군과 4회 이하 섭취군으로 분류하였으며, 그 결과 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 54.9%, 4회 이하 섭취군이 45.1%로 나타났다. 거주형태는 학교 주변에서 자취, 하숙하는 학생들이 가장 많았으며, 아침 5회 이상 섭취군은 부모님과 함께 생활하는 경우가 높게 나타났고, 4회 이하 섭취군은 자취, 하숙하는 경우가 높게 나타나면서 부모님과 함께 생활할수록 아침식사 빈도가 높고 혼자 생활할수록 아침식사를 하지 않거나 아침식사 빈도가 낮은 것을 알 수 있었다. 자신의 체형만족도는 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 4회 이하 섭취군에 비해 자신의 체형만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 아침 5회 이상 섭취군의 신장, 체중 및 BMI는 각각 $161.0{\pm}0.1cm$, $52.6{\pm}7.6kg$, $19.8{\pm}1.9kg/m^2$ 였으며, 4회 이하 섭취군은 각각 $160.7{\pm}0.1cm$, $57.1{\pm}11.8kg$, $21.5{\pm}3.4kg/m^2$로 나타났는데, 체중과 BMI에서 유의적인 차이를 나타내었다. BMI 분포를 보면 아침 5회 이상 섭취군은 저체중이 15.8%, 정상체중이 59.0%, 과체중이 15.8%, 비만이 9.4%였으며, 4회 이하 섭취군은 저체중이 13.2%, 정상체중이 43.8%, 과체중이 28.1%, 비만이 14.9%로 나타났다. 식행동 점수는 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 4회 이하 섭취군보다 높게 나타나 규칙적인 식사패턴을 보였으며 '우유나 유제품을 매일 1잔 이상 마신다', '과일이나 과일주스를 매일 먹는다', '하루 세끼 규칙적으로 식사한다' 문항에서 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 영양소 섭취상태를 알아본 결과 1일 평균 에너지는 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 1,545.8 kcal, 4회 이하 섭취군이 1,378.2 kcal로 나타났고, 탄수화물과 단백질은 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 각각 218.8 g과 56.1 g, 4회 이하 섭취군이 188.1 g과 49.7 g으로 5회 이상 섭취군이 유의적으로 높게 섭취하였다. 또한, 비타민 A, 비타민 $B_1$, 비타민 $B_2$, 나이아신, 비타민 $B_6$, 인, 아연과 콜레스테롤 섭취량도 아침 5회 이상 섭취군이 4회 이하 섭취군에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 에너지 필요추정량(EER)과 영양소의 권장섭취량(RNI)을 살펴보면 EER은 아침 4회 이하 섭취군(65.6%)이 5회 이상 섭취군(73.7%)에 비해 낮은 섭취율을 보였고, 비타민과 무기질에서는 조사대상자들이 비타민 $B_1$, 비타민 E, 인과 나트륨을 제외한 모든 영양소를 부족하게 섭취하고 있었다. 이 중 권장섭취량의 80% 이하로 섭취하는 영양소를 알아본 결과 아침 5회 이상 섭취군은 비타민 C, 엽산, 칼슘과 철이었으며, 4회 이하 섭취군은 비타민 A, 비타민 $B_2$, 나이아신, 비타민 $B_6$, 비타민 C, 엽산, 칼슘과 철로 나타나 아침식사의 빈도가 낮을수록 전체 식사에서의 영양소 섭취가 부족함을 알 수 있었다. 조사대상자의 에너지 섭취량에 대한 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방의 섭취비율은 56.4:14.6:27.7로 나타났으며, 아침식사 빈도에 따른 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 또한, 아침식사 빈도와 상관관계가 있는 변인을 알아보기 위하여 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과 거주상태가 가장 중요한 변인으로 작용하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 여대생들의 높은 아침결식률이 전체 식사의 영양소 섭취에도 영향을 미쳐 여대생들에게 아침식사의 중요성을 강조함과 동시에 아침식사 섭취를 통한 에너지 및 대부분의 영양소 섭취량을 증가시켜 다양하고 적절한 식사를 가능하게 해야 할 것이다. 한편 특정 영양소, 칼슘, 비타민 C와 철분 결핍의 우려가 심각해 이들 영양소들은 기존 식사에서의 섭취량을 양적으로 증가시키는 것과 동시에 질적으로 우수한 우유, 멸치, 녹색 채소류(브로콜리, 케일, 청경채 등), 과일, 육류 및 생선 등의 섭취를 유도하여 여대생들의 영양 상태 개선을 위한 꾸준한 노력도 필요할 것으로 보인다. 또한, 아침결식 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 비자택 거주자들의 식생활 교육 강화 및 거주상태가 고려된 연구의 필요성을 제기하는 바이다.

2002년 1월부터 12월까지 말백합 (Meretrix petechialis)을 대상으로 조직학적 관찰에 의해 생식주기를 조사하였고, 생화학적 분석방법에 의해 폐각근 조직과 내장낭 조직의 생화학적 성분 변화를 조사하였다. 본 종의 생식주기는 초기활성기 (1-3월), 후기활성기 (2-5월), 완숙기 (4-8월), 부분산란기 (7-8월) 그리고 퇴화 및 비활성기 (9-2월)로 연속적인 5단계로 구분할 수 있었다. 총단백질 함량은 내장낭에서 폐각근보다 약 2 배 정도 높게 나타났다. ANOVA test 결과, 총단백질 함량의 월별 변화는 폐각근에서 유의한 차이가 없었고 (p = 0.071), 내장낭에서는 유의한 차이를 보였다 (p < 0.001). 내장낭 내 단백질 함량은 초기활성기 (1-3월), 후기활성기 (3-5월), 및 완숙기에 높았고, 7월에 가장 낮았다. 글리코겐 함량은 내장낭보다 폐각근에서 더 높았다. 글리코겐 함량의 월변화는 폐각근 (F = 237.2, p < 0.001) 과 내장낭 (F = 64.04, p < 0.001) 모두에서 유의성을 나타내었다. 글리코겐 함량은 폐각근의 경우, 완숙기인 4 월에 최대치에 이른 후, 부분산란기 및 퇴화기인 6-9월까지 서서히 감소하였다. 그리고 내장낭의 경우는 초기활성기까지는 비교적 낮은 값을 보인 후, 후기활성기인 5월에 가장 높았다. RNA 함량은 폐각근보다 내장낭에서 더 높게 나타났다. RNA 함량의 월별 변화는 폐각근 (F = 195.2, p < 0.001) 과 내장낭 (F = 78.85, p < 0.001) 모두에서 유의성을 나타내었다. RNA 함량은 폐각근의 경우, 초기활성기인 1-2월에 높았고, 후기활성기인 3-4월에 극감하였으며, 완숙기인 5월에 약간 증가된 후 6-7월에 다시 감소하였다. 그리고 내장낭의 경우는 완숙기인 5월에 가장 높았고, 부분산란기인 6-7월에 급격히 그 값이 감소하였다. 총단백질 함량의 경우 폐각근과 내장낭 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계가 나타났다 (r = 0.715, p = 0.020). 글리코겐의 경우에는 양의 상관관계가 있는 것처럼 나타났으나 (r = 0.216), 통계적으로 유의한 수준은 아니었다 (p = 0.550). RNA의 경우 음의 상관관계가 나타났으나(r = -0.233), 이 또한 통계적으로 유의한 수준은 아니었다 (p = 0.518). 전반적으로 볼 때, 가리비류와 같이 생식소, 소화맹낭, 중장선이 부위별로 구분이 된 이매패류와 달리 백합은 위 3가지 부분이 명확하게 구분되지 않아 내장낭으로 분석하여 특정시기(월)에 국한되어 폐각근과 내장낭의 생화학적 함량변화가 역상관관계를 나타내는 현상을 보였다. 특히, 폐각근과 내장낭내 총 RNA 함량 변화 양상은 총단백질 함량 변화 양상과 유사한 경향을 보여 RNA 함량 증가시 단백질 함량의 증가가 일어나고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

본 시험은 착즙부산물 발효사료가 육성돈의 영양소 소화율, 분뇨 배설량 그리고 질소 균형에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 삼원교잡종 24두(개시체중 46.79 kg)를 공시하여 10일간의 적응기를 거쳐 7 일간 대사 케이지 ($0.5{\times}1.3m$)에서 소화시험을 수행하였다. 처리구는 1) 기초사료 (CON), 2) 발효사료(기초사료를 발효한 사료, F), 3) 케일박 발효사료 (KF), 4) 신선초박 발효사료 (AF), 5) 당근박 발효사료 (CF) 빛 6) 포도박 발효사료(GF)로 하여 총 6개 처리이었으며 처리당 4반복으로 하였다. 시험기간 동안 건물 소화율은 대조구, F, CF 처려구가 다른 처리구들보다 유의적으로 높았다 (p<0.05). 조단백질소화율은 F 처리구가 AF 및 GF 처리구보다 유의적으로 높았고 (p<0.05), 조섬유 소화율은 GF 처리구가 다른 처리구들보다 유의적으로 낮았다 (p<0.05). 조지방 소화율에서는 AF 및 CF 처리구가 KF를 제외한 처리구들보다 유의적으로 높았다 (p<0.05). 조회분 소화율은 CF 처리구가 다른 처리구들보다 유의적으로 높았다 (p<0.05). 반면 칼숨과 인 소화율에서는 CF 및 GF 처리구가 다른 처리구들보다 유의적으로 높았다 (p<0.05). 에너지 소화율에서는 대조구, F 및 CF 처리구가 KF, AF 및 GF 처리구보다 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 총 필수아미노산 소화율에서는 F 처리구가 AF, CF 및 GF 처리구보다 유의적으로 높았고(P<0.05), 비필수아미노산의 평균 소화율에서는 F 처리구가 AF, CF 및 GF 처리구보다 유의적으로 높았다 (p<0.05). 총 아미노산의 평균 소화율에서는 F 처리구가 AF 및 CF 처리구보다 높았으며 (p<0.05), GF 처리구가 가장 낮았다 (p<0.05). 분으로 배설된 질소 비율은 GF 처리구가 다른 처리구들보다 높았고(p<0.05), F 처리구가 낮았다 (p<0.05). 뇨로 배설된 질소 비율에서는 대조구와 GF 처리구가 다른 처리구들보다 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.05). 질소 축적비율에서는 대조구가 가장 높았으며 (p<0.05), KF 처리구가 가장 낮았다 (p<0.05). 결론적으로 일반배합사료보다 착즙부산물 발효사료의 소화율이 감소하였는데 이것은 사료에 혼합된 착즙부산물 수준 30%가 높은 수준인 것으로 판단되어 추후 섬유소 수준을 낮추어 시험을 수행할 필요가 있다고 생각된다. 특히, 포도박 발효사료 처리구에서 분 배설량이 많은 이유는 포도박 발효사료의 섬유소 함량이 대조구 및 발효사료 보다 높고 다른 착즙부산물에 비하여 소화되지 않는 포도씨가 다량 배설되었기 때문인 것 같다.

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

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.

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.

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.
