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

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.

글루타메이트 수용체는 신경연접의 발달에서 신경연접과 정제 등에 중요한 역할을 한다. 포유류 청각뇌줄기의 가쪽위올리브 핵-안쪽마름섬유체핵 신경연접에서의 흥분성 신경전달물질의 전달은 글루타메이트와 같은 많은 흥분성 신경전달물질의 전달을 조절하므로 발생학적 연구에 매우 유용한 모델이다. 귀먹음은 흥분성 회로 또는 억제성 회로의 신경연접에서 신경전달물질들의 변화뿐 아니라 형태학적 변화도 초래하게 된다. 이런 이유로 선천적으로 태어나면서 달팽이 기관이 퇴화되는 선회생쥐는 귀먹음의 병태생리를 연구하는데 가장 좋은 동물모델이다. 그러나, 선회생쥐에서 이런 NMDA 수용체 각각의 아형들이 발달에 따라 어떻게 나타나는지에 관해서는 거의 알려진 사실이 없다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 선천적으로 속귀에 돌연변이를 가진 선회생쥐를 이용하여 면역조직화학염색법으로 생후 7일과 16일의 쥐를 정상쥐와 비교해서 글루타메이트성의 흥분성 신호가 전달되는 청각뇌줄기의 가쪽위올리브핵(LSO)에서 N-메틸-D-아스파르 트산염(NMDA) 수용체의 아형인 NR1, NR2A, NR2B의 분포를 각각 조사하였다. 생후 7일째 선회생쥐의 NR1에 대한 면역반응성의 세기는 정상군에서 $128.67\pm8.87$로 나타났고 이형접합체에서는 $111.06\pm8.04$, 동형접합체에서는 $108.09\pm5.94$으로 나타났다. 그리고 생후 16일째 선회생쥐에서는 정상군에서 $43.83\pm10.49$, 이형접합체에서는 $40\pm13.88$, 동형접합체에서는 $55.96\pm17.35$으로 나타났다. 생후 7일째 선회생쥐의 NR2A에 대한 면역반응성의 세기는 정상군에서 $97.97\pm9.71$, 이형접합체에서 $102.87\pm9.30$, 동형접합체에서 $106.85\pm5.79$로 나타났다. 생후 16일 선회생쥐의 가쪽위올리브핵에서의 NR2A에 대한 면역반응성 세기는 정상군에서 $47.4\pm20.6$, 이형접합체에서 $43.9\pm17.5$, 동형접합체에서 $49.2\pm20.1$로 나타났다. 생후 7일의 선회생쥐의 NR2B의 면역반응성 세기는 정상군에서 $109.04\pm6.77$, 이형접합체에서 $106.43\pm10.24$, 동형접합체에서 $105.98\pm4.10$으로 나타났다. 생후 16일째 선회생쥐의 NR2B의 면역반응성의 세기는 정상군에서 $101.47\pm11.50$, 이형접합체에서 $91.47\pm14.81$, 동형접합체에서 $93.93\pm15.71$으로 나타났다. 이 결과들은 생후 7일과 16일의 선회생쥐의 가쪽위올리브핵에서 NMDA 수용체의 면역반응성의 변화를 나타낸 것으로 인간 귀먹음의 주요한 병태생리를 파악하는 데 기본적인 자료를 제시할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 고지방식으로 유도한 식이성 비만 모델 수컷 흰쥐에게 고지방식이와 함께 유청단백질 및 유청단백질 가수분해물을 급여하였을 때, 유청단백질 가수분해물의 섭취에 따른 체중, 장기 및 체지방, 지질 농도 및 식욕 조절호르몬에 대한 영향을 살펴보았다. 즉, 실험동물 흰쥐에게 18% 우지를 첨가한 고지방식을 기본으로 하여 질소원으로 유청단백질(whey protein concentrate 80: WPC80, 매일유업(주)) 10%를 4주간 공급한 후(control period), 4군으로 나누어서 고지방식을 기본으로 유청단백질, 유청단백질 가수분해물(whey protein hydrolysate), 유청 macropeptide fraction(whey macropeptide fraction; WH중 MW${\geq}$10,000)의 3종을 함유한 실험식이를 각각 6주 동안 급여하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 체중증가량 및 식이섭취량은 유청단백질 수준이나 가수분해물 섭취에 따른 실험군간 유의적 차이가 없었다. 간의 무게는 가수분해물 섭취에 의해 감소하였으나, 신장, 고환 및 비장의 무게는 실험군간 유의적 차이가 없었다. 한편, 신장의 무게는 고단백 식이에 의해 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 지방조직의 무게는 신장 주변 지방과 부고환 주변 지방 모두 유청단백질 수준이나 가수분해물 섭취에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 혈청의 총 지질과 중성지방은 가수분해물 섭취에 의해 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 반면, 혈청의 총 콜레스테롤과 HDL 콜레스테롤은 유청단백질 수준과 가수분해물 섭취에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 간 조직의 총 지질, 중성지방과 총 콜레스테롤은 가수분해물 섭취에 따라 차이가 없었으며, 고단백식이에 의해 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). 일일 분 배설량은 고단백식이에 의해 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 분 중 총 지질함량과 중성지방 함량은 가수분해물 섭취 시 그 함량이 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 반면, 분 중 총 콜레스테롤 함량은 유청단백질 수준이나 가수분해물 섭취에 따른 영향을 받지 않았다. 혈청 중 glucose와 insulin 농도는 가수분해물 섭취 시 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). 혈청 중 leptin 농도는 유청단백질 수준이나 가수분해물 섭취에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 혈청 중 ghrelin 농도는 고단백 식이에 의해 유의적으로 감소하였으며(p<0.05), 특히, 가수분해물 섭취 시 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이상의 결과로부터 유청단백질 가수분해물의 섭취는 intact 유청단백질보다 흰쥐의 혈청과 간의 지질 농도를 저하시키고, 분 중으로의 지질배설량을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 혈중 glucose 농도와 insulin 농도를 감소시킴으로서 인슐린 저항성을 개선시켰으며, ghrelin 감소를 통한 식욕조절 효과를 보였다. 한편, 본 연구에서 유청단백질 가수분해물이 체중감소나 조직의 지방량에는 영향을 미치지 않았는데, 이것은 본 연구에서 사용된 25% 단백질 수준이 체중감소나 조직 지방량에 영향을 미치기에는 부족한 수준이라 사료되며, 단백질 수준에서의 증가 또는 보다 장기간 동안의 섭취가 수행되어진다면 식욕 촉진 호르몬 분비 감소를 통해 체중 감소에 있어서 더 유의적인 효과가 나타날 것으로 사료된다.

수소연료는 환경오염문제를 해소하고 에너지 불균형 및 비용을 절감할 수 있다는 점에서는 화석연료를 대체하는 에너지원으로 부각되고 있다. 수소는 친환경적이나 폭발성이 강하기 때문에 수소연료차의 화재, 폭발 사고에 대한 우려가 매우 높은 실정이다. 연구결과에서 수소사고는 일반적인 화재의 경우 비교적 안전하나, 폭발이 발생하면 매우 위험한 것으로 인식되고 있다. 특히, 터널과 같은 반밀폐공간에서는 위험도가 보다 증가할 것으로 예측되기에 이에 대한 예측방법 및 대책을 마련하기 위한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 터널에서 수소폭발시 안전성을 평가하기 위해서 등가 TNT모델의 적용성과 수치해석 방법에 대한 검토를 수행하였다. 6개의 등가 TNT모델과 Weyandt의 실험결과의 폭발압력을 비교·검토하여 모델의 적용성을 평가한 결과, Henrych식이 13.6%의 편차로 가장 근접하는 것으로 나타났다. 수치해석을 이용하여 수소탱크 용량(52, 72, 156 L)과 터널 단면적(40.5, 54, 72, 95 m²)이 폭발압력에 미치는 영향에 대한 검토한 결과, 터널에서 폭발 압력파는 초기에는 대기중에서와 마찬가지로 반구형 형태로 전파되나 벽체에 도달하면 반사파가 형성되며, 일정 거리 이상에서는 평면파로 변형되어 아주 완만한 감쇄율로 전파하는 것으로 나타났다. 등가 TNT모델인 Henrych식은 폭발압력이 급격하게 감소하는 구간에서는 수치해석 결과와 잘 일치하나 폭발압력파가 변형된 이후에는 큰 폭으로 과소평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 수소탱크용량이 동일한 경우에는 터널 단면적이 증가할수록 폭발압력이 감소하며, 단면적이 동일한 경우에는 수소탱크 용량이 52 L에서 156 L로 증가하면 폭발압력은 약 2.5배 정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 인체에 영향을 미치는 한계거리에 대한 평가결과, 수소탱크용량이 52 L인 경우 사망에 이르는 한계거리는 약 3 m, 중상에 이르는 거리는 단면적별로 차이가 있으나 28.5~35.8 m로 나타났다.

우리나라 성인에서 아침결식이 증가하고 있으며, 아침결식은 대사적 위험을 증가시킨다고 한다. 본 연구는 한국성인을 위한 대사적 위험성이 낮은 아침식사 에너지 수준을 제시하고자 제4기 (2007~2009) 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 19~64세 성인 12,238명을 대상으로 1일 에너지섭취량이 500~5,000 kcal에 속하며, 임신 또는 수유중인 자, 대사 이상 질환이나 암으로 치료받는 자를 제외한 7,769명 (남자 38.4%, 여자 61.6%)의 자료를 분석하였다. 아침식사 에너지비율은 개인별 아침식사의 에너지섭취량이 에너지 필요추정량의 10% 미만 (극저에너지군), 10~20% 미만 (저에너지군), 20~30% 미만 (중간에너지군), 30% 이상 (충분에너지군)인 네 군으로 분류하여 대사질환의 위험요인별 교차비와 영양상태를 비교하였다. 모든 자료는 해당 년도의 가중치를 적용한 후 일반선형모델을 사용하여 성, 연령, 거주지역, 소득수준, 교육수준, 직업 유무 또는 에너지 섭취량을 추가 보정하여 분석하였다. 유의성은 ${\alpha}=0.05$ 수준에서 검토하였다. 1) 전체 대상자 중 아침식사 에너지가 1일 에너지필요추정량의 30% 이상에 속하는 대상자는 16.9%, 20~30% 미만군에 39.2%, 10~20% 미만군에 37.6%, 10% 미만군에 6.3% 순으로 나타났다. 극저에너지군과 저에너지군에는 여자보다 남자, 19~39세의 젊은 성인, 도시 거주자가 많았고 소득수준은 중상이상, 교육수준은 고졸이상이 많았고 직업을 가진 사람, 가족과 아침식사를 하지 않는 사람이 많았으나 중간에너지군과 충분에너지군에는 그와 대조적으로 여자, 40세 이상 성인, 읍면거주자, 소득과 교육수준이 낮고, 무직, 가족과 식사하는 사람이 많았다. 2) 충분에너지군에서 곡류 (주식류, 스낵류), 당류와 함께 감자류, 두류, 육류 및 난류, 어패류, 채소류, 과일류, 유지류, 조미료류의 섭취량이 네 군보다 높았다. 극저에너지군은 채소류의 섭취량이 네 군 중 가장 낮았고, 스낵류, 당류와 함께 육류 및 난류, 유지류, 조미료류의 섭취량이 저에너지 군과 중간에너지군보다 높았다. 3) 아침식사 에너지가 낮은 군일수록 지방에너지비와 단백질에너지비는 높고 탄수화물에너지비는 낮았으며, 에너지와 모든 영양소 섭취량 및 영양소적정섭취비 (NAR, MAR)가 낮아 영양소별 평균필요량 (EAR)에 미달되게 섭취한 대상자의 비율이 높았다. 충분에너지군은 에너지와 모든 영양소의 섭취실태가 가장 양호하였다. 4) 체중, 신장, 체질량지수와 허리둘레가 극저에너지군에서는 높은 반면, 충분에너지군에서는 낮아서 복부 비만위험은 충분에너지군을 기준으로 아침에너지섭취가 낮을수록 증가하여 극저에너지군에서 1.9배로, 저에너지군 1.44배, 중간에너지군 1.32배에 비해 높았으며, 체질량지수에 의한 비만 위험도 유사한 결과를 보였다. 또한 충분에너지군에서 혈청총콜레스테롤이 가장 낮아서 이상지질혈증 발생 위험은 충분에너지군에 비해 극저에너지군에서 1.84배 높았고 공복혈당에 의한 당뇨 발생 위험도 극저에너지군에서 1.57배 높았다. 이상의 연구결과에서 19~64세 성인에서 아침식사 에너지가 개인별 에너지 필요추정량의 10% 미만인 군은 비만, 이상지질혈증, 당뇨의 위험과 동시에 영양부족의 우려가 있는 반면에, 에너지 필요추정량의 30% 이상군은 대사위험성이 가장 낮고 영양상태가 가장 양호하였기 때문에 우리나라 19~65세 미만 성인을 위한 아침식사의 에너지 가이드라인으로 에너지 필요추정량의 30% 이상을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

본 연구는 파노라마 표준 촬영에서 환자의 피폭 선량을 측정하여 방사선 생물학적 위험인자를 평가하고 환자의 피폭 선량 저감화 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 피폭 선량의 측정 오차를 최소화하기 위하여 각 OSL 선량계의 교정상수를 구하였으며 파노라마 표준 촬영에서 간접적으로 포함되는 좌 우측 수정체와 갑상선, 직접적으로 포함되는 상 하 입술, 하악골 첨부, 촬영 중심점을 대상으로 ICRP에서 권고하는 인체 모형 표준 팬텀을 이용하여 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 촬영 중심점의 선량이 $413.67{\pm}6.53{\mu}Gy$로 최대였으며 상 하 입술의 경우 각각 $217.80{\pm}2.98{\mu}Gy$, $215.33{\pm}2.61{\mu}Gy$이었다. 또한 파노라마 표준 촬영에서 간접적으로 포함되는 좌 우측 수정체의 등가선량은 각각 $30.73{\pm}2.34{\mu}Gy$, $31.87{\pm}2.50{\mu}Gy$이었으며 하악골 첨부 및 갑상선의 등가선량은 $276.73{\pm}14.43{\mu}Gy$, $162.07{\pm}4.13{\mu}Gy$이었다. 결론적으로 측정된 피폭 선량은 방사선 생물학적 효과를 유발할 수 있었으며 치과 의료기관의 파노라마 표준 촬영에서 환자의 피폭 선량에 대한 저감화 방안으로 국제기구에서 권고하고 있는 방사선 방어 원칙에 대한 정당한 해석과 제도적 뒷받침(regulation)이 필요하다. 이에 파노라마 검사에 의한 피폭 선량은 기술적 경제적 측면뿐 만 아니라 사회적 인자를 고려하여 합리적으로 용인 가능한 수준까지 최소화하기 위한 체계화된 프로토콜의 제정과 주변 결정 장기를 방어하기 위한 방사선 보호 기구에 대한 추가적 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.

대표적인 수학적 팬텀인 MIRD팬텀은 개발 당시 컴퓨터 계산시간을 단축하기 위해 단순화된 수학방정식으로 표현되었으며 본래 내부피폭 선량계산에 이용하기 위해 제작되었으므로 실제 인체구조에 근접하는 정도와 외부피폭 선량계산 용도로서의 적합성 여부를 평가할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 인체의 단층촬영영상을 이용하여 제작된 Zubal 체적소팬텀과 MERD팬텀이 가장 일반적인 피폭모드인 AP 및 PA모드 감마선장에 노출될 때 장기선량 계산결과 및 단층영상을 비교하여 선량차이의 주요 원인이 되는 MIRD팬텀의 몸통두께를 수정하였다. AP와 PA방향으로 입사하는 0.05MeV에서 10MeV의 에너지 범위를 가진 넓고 평행한 단일 에너지 감마선장에 대해 MIRD팬텀과 Zubal팬텀의 장기선량을 MCNP4C를 이용하여 계산 및 비교한 결과 저에너지 영역에서 AP와 PA방향 모두 MIRD팬텀이 Zubal팬텀보다 높은 선량을 받았으며 유효선량의 경우 특히 PA방향, 0.05MeV 광자빔에 대해서 50%에 가까운 선량차이를 보였다 몸통부분 단층영상을 비교한 결과 Zubal팬텀에 비해서 MIRD팬텀의 몸통 두께가 얇아서 나타나는 결과임을 확인하게 되었고 MIRD몸통두께의 최적값을 찾아내기 위해 20cm에서 32cm까지 변화시켜가며 원전 작업환경에서 가장 많이 받게되는 0.5MeV 감마선에 대한 유효선량을 계산하여 비교하였다. AP방향에서는 24cm, PA방향에서는 28cm일 때 최소의 선량차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났고 이에 따라 몸통모델을 수정하였다. 수정된 MIRD팬텀을 이용하여 장기선량을 재계산하여 Zubal팬텀의 선량과 비교한 결과 특히 PA방향에서 큰 과대평가를 보였던 장기들의 선량차이가 현저하게 줄었고 유효선량의 경우 0.5 MeV 광자빔에 대해 AP, PA방향 각각 -0.5%와 7.3%의 낮은 선량차이를 보였다. Zubal팬텀에 의해 계산된 선량환산인자는 ICRP74에서 제공하는 값과 큰 차이를 보이고 있으며 수정된 MIRD팬텀은 Zubal팬텀의 값에 준하는 결과를 보였다. 본 연구에서 수정된 MIRD팬텀은 기존에 사용되던 선량환산계수의 수정에 사용될 수 있으며 수학적팬텀의 장점을 살리면서 실제 인체에 근접한 선량계산을 수행할 수 있다.
