  • 본 연구는 현재 비보 못과 비보 숲의 형태가 남아있는 대구광역시 소재 경주 최씨의 씨족마을인 옻골마을을 대상으로 실증적인 조사를 하여 환경생태적으로 해석하고자 한다. 특히, 비보경관인 비보연못, 비보숲 그리고 마을수계를 환경생태적으로 해석하고 규명하고자 한다. 연구방법은 연구대상지에 현재 남아 있는 비보경관에 대해 풍수지리적으로 서술하고 이것에 대한 환경생태적 의미를 규명하고자 한다. 환경생태적 의미는 매우 포괄적인 개념이지만 본 연구는 실증적 연구로서 삶의 질의 측면에서 다음과 같이 해석하고자 한다. 첫째, 지속적인 수계기능의 활성화를 규명하고자 수질을 측정했다. 즉 선비의 상징 및 휴식공간이 있는 동계, 생활주거공간인 서계, 이 두 계곡의 물이 합쳐지는 비보연못 그리고 연못에서 머문 후 마을 밖으로 흐르는 개울의 수질을 측정했다. 둘째, 마을의 안과 밖을 경계하는 비보숲의 미기후에 대한 기능을 평가하고자 했다. 즉 숲을 중심으로 각각 200m 떨어진 지점에 각 지점별 2개의 온도기를 설치하여 시간대별로 기온을 측정했다. 셋째, 건전한 생태계를 지속시킬 수 있는지에 대해 측정했다. 즉 경관생태지표를 선정하여 측정했다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 비보연못은 수질정화의 기능을 하는 것으로 규명되었다. 또한 동계정, 정려각 등 조경공간의 기능이 배치되어 있는 동계는 암벽과 계류 등 경관이 빼어나 주로 남성들이 이용하는 공간이었던 것에 비하여 주거공간이 많은 서계는 빨래 등 여성들의 활동에 필요한 공간으로 사용된 것으로 수질의 차를 설명할 수 있을 것으로 사려된다. 둘째, 비보숲의 경우는 그 목적인 방풍과 온도저감을 기대하기는 적합하지 않는 소규모의 마을숲으로 다만 마을의 영역을 구분하는 기능을 한다고 해석함이 바람직할 것이다. 셋째, 경관생태지표를 통한 생태적 건전성은 양호하며 보통의 전통농촌마을과 유사성을 보이고 있다. 녹지연결측면에서 본다면 마을 경계녹지와 마을숲의 연결은 매우 양호하다. 특히 훼손된 마을숲을 잘 복원한다면 생물서식환경의 기능을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 연구결과를 고찰해보면, 전통마을공간은 인간과 자연이 유기적인 통합체로 공존하는 환경생태학적 사고를 바탕에 둔 풍수지리사상의 영향으로 형성되었다. 또한 환경생태적 방법으로 볼 때, 풍수지리사상 중 비보사상에 의해 조성된 비보못과 비보숲의 의미는 지속 가능한 마을을 조성하는 중요 요소로 볼 수 있다. 다양한 수공간은 물의 순환체계를 원활하게 해주어 수질정화와 수량 확보에 크게 기여할 것이며, 숲은 마을을 위요시켜주면서 미기후를 조성하게 해주어서 겨울과 여름철의 기온차와 습도차를 줄어줄 것이다. 하지만, 숲의 규모가 작고 훼손이 심한 경우 상징적인 영역성을 나타내는 경우가 많다. 그리고 전체 녹지체계와 식생구성은 생물다양성을 증진시키고 종의 이동을 원활하게 하는 연결녹지로서 기여할 것이다. 옻골마을은 마을형국을 보다 완전하게 만들기 위해 비보경관을 조성했다. 즉 땅의 생태질서를 최대한 유지하고 그것에 대한 점진적 이해를 바탕으로 조정된 마을로 쾌적한 주거환경을 만들어 낼 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 전통마을계획방법은 유기적이고 환경생태적인 방법이라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 환경생태학에서 보는 전통마을은 객관적으로 이해될 수 있는 대상이다.

  • 이 연구는 기록물관리법의 제정과 관련하여 한국의 공공기관 및 기록관리학계 그 실무단체들의 기록관리 활동현황과 그 발전방향에 대하여, '1)정부기관 기록관리의 활동현황과 발전방향, 2)민간차원 기록관리의 활동현황과 발전방향'으로 2구분하고, 이를 각각 고찰한 것이다. 그 결과, 1) <정부기록보존소>는 국가 중앙기록물관리기관의 기능과 사명을 완수하기 위하여, <정부기록보존소>가 현재 추진하고 있는 전문서고의 신축 문제와, 이 신축서고에 국가의 상징시설로서의 <대통령기록관>을 입주시키는 문제, 향후 <정부기록보존소>의 위상(位相) 정립 문제를 가장 중점적(重點的)으로 완결(完結)하여야 할 것을 논술하였다. 그러기 위하여 현재의 <정부기록보존소>는, 이 기관이 장차 국가 중앙기록물관리기관으로서 장관급 또는 최소한 차관급 이상(以上)이 관장(管掌)하는 청(廳)단위 이상의 독립국가기관 예컨데 <국가기록관리청(國家記錄管理廳)> 등의 명칭으로 그 위상이 제고(提高)되도록 조처(措處)하여야 할 것임을 주장하였다. 그리하여 이 기관이 대통령 지속기구 등으로 편입되면서 그 업무의 독립성과 자율성이 보장되어야 하는 방안이 가장 바람직할 것임을 주장하였다. 2) <한국기록관리협회>는 1)종래의 기록매체인 종이기록물의 보존관리에 관한 문제, 2)컴퓨터를 비롯한 뉴미디어에 의한 기록물의 관리보존문제, 3)기록물 관리 보존의 시설 및 장비의 문제, 4)기록보존 관리의 전문인력 교육 양성 문제, 5)기록관리의 제도 및 정책의 문제 등의 방향으로 그 발전에 지속적으로 매진하여야 할 것이다. 이러한 점에서 <한국기록관리협회>는 그 개인회원과 기업체회원 등이 합심하여 우리나라 기록보존의 발전에 밑거름이 되어야 할 것임을 강조하였다. 3) <한국기록관리학회>가 주최한 3차에 걸친 국제학술대회의 의의와 그 실적에 대한 분석 등을 고찰하였다. <한국기록관리학회>는 '제1회 국제학술대회'에서 한 중 일 동양삼국의 기록관리활동의 현황을 파악하고 이에 기록관리학의 연구 및 교육과정 등 한국기록관리학이 나아가야 할 방향의 설정하였다. '제2회 국제학술대회'에서 "지식경영과 메터데이터의 활용"이라는 심포지움을 개최하여 지식기반정보사회에서 기록관리학과 문헌정보학의 소임과 역할을 다짐하였다. '제3회 국제학술대회'에서는 미국을 위시한 독일과 네덜란드 등 서구(西歐)의 디지털(전자)기록물의 보존관리 등 세계적인 첨단 기록관리학의 발전동향을 우선적으로 소개 파악하기 위하여 전자기록물의 관리 보존에 관하여 중점적으로 고찰하였다. 아울러 동양 삼국 기록관리학 미래의 발전방향을 조명(照明)하였다. 그리하여 <한국기록관리학회>는 장차 한국기록관리학의 발전과 관련한 여러 이론적 연구와 그 실무활동에 대한 근거를 꾸준하게 제시하여 주어야 함과, 우수한 기록관리 전문인력을 배출할 수 있는 합리적인 교육과정 등을 연구 제시하여야 함도 파악하였다. 4) 한국기록관리학회지 수록논문의 분석에서는, 기록관리학의 각 영역을 6구분하고, 학회지에 수록된 논문들을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 특기할만한 사항으로는 (1)'기록관리학의 제도와 정책'에서 차후 <지방기록보존소> 및 <자료관> 설립과 관련한 연구가 필요함을 파악하였다. 본 분석에서는 이들 <자료관>등을 설립할 때에는 그 지방의 역사와 특성을 고려하여 가장 강점(强點)이 있는 주제의 기록물들을 특성화(特性化)시키는 방안이 가장 바람직할 것임을 주장하였다. (2)'기록관리학 전문 교과과정 및 인력제도'에서, 석사학위 이상의 기록물관리 전문요원은 기록관리의 현장에서 차후 관리직으로 나아가야 함을 지적하고, 오히려 기록관리학 학부를 졸업하고 기록물관리 현장에서 직접 그 업무를 수행할 수 있는 실무전공자가 절실하게 요구되는 현실임을 주장하였다. 따라서 문헌정보학전공을 개설하고 있는 대학교에서 기록관리학전공을 신설하고, 이에 따라 기록관리학 학사를 배출함으로써 이 분야의 국가적인 수요에 부응할 필요가 절실함을 주장하였다. 또한 기록관리전문요원의 자격은 완화되어야 함을 주장하였다.

  • 홍주읍성의 초축 연대는 명확히 알 수 없으나 문종 1년 축조 이후 수십 차례에 걸친 보수와 정비를 거쳤으며, 일제강점기에 일부 성벽이 훼철되면서 오늘날의 형태를 갖게 되었다. 홍성은 지구조적으로 지진의 발생 가능성이 높은 지역이다. 역사지진 기록이 남아 있으며, 1978년과 1979년에 각각 규모 5.0과 4.0의 지진이 발생하여 성벽 일부가 붕괴된 바가 있다. 2010년에는 집중강우에 의해 성벽이 붕괴되기도 하였다. 홍주읍성 성벽은 구간에 따라 다양한 구성암종, 치석형태, 축조방식, 채움재료 등이 적용되었다. 또한 보수과정에서 기존의 성벽을 훼철하지 않고 재사용 가능한 부분을 그대로 사용하여 시대에 따른 특성이 성벽에 수직적으로 반영되어 나타난다. 따라서 홍주읍성의 유형분류는 성벽의 수직적 분포를 기준으로 나누었으며, 축성유형의 수직적 개수에 따라 유형 I, 유형 II, 유형 III으로 구분하였다. 성벽에 사용된 암석은 주로 조립질화강암이나 성벽유형에 따라 암종의 차이가 명확하다. 성벽 하부는 자연석 내지 할석을 사용하여 다양한 암종이 혼재되어 나타나나, 중앙부의 치석한 암석은 대부분 조립질 화강암이다. 보수석재는 담홍색화강암이나 수구지와 조양문의 구성 암종은 성벽과 상이하다. 홍주읍성의 대표적인 손상유형은 배부름, 성돌의 돌출, 기초부 성돌의 유실, 부재의 이격, 균열 및 단열, 기초불안정 및 구조적 변형이다. 성벽에 발생하는 거동의 양과 방향을 확인하기 위해 수동 간이계측 및 광파측정을 수행하였다. 수동계측 결과, 성벽의 구조적 변형이 진행되는 구간을 분류할 수 있다. 광파측정 자료와 비교한 결과, 두 모니터링 방법은 상호 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 장기적인 보존관리 방안으로 두 계측방법은 상호 보완적으로 활용할 수 있으며, 홍주읍성의 안정화를 위해 계측시스템은 유지, 관리 및 개선되어야 할 것이다. 남문지 일대의 계측결과를 종합할 때, 붕괴된 성벽 또한 강우에 의한 거동변화가 지속적으로 진행되었을 것이다. 오랜 기간 변위가 누적된 상태에서 집중강우에 의해 발생한 이상거동에 따라 임계점을 초과하여 붕괴에 이르렀을 개연성이 충분하다. 홍주읍성 성벽의 효율적 관리를 위해 연구결과를 토대로 0등급부터 5등급까지 총 6단계의 관리등급을 제안하였다. 이 관리등급을 적용한 결과, 1등급 501.9m (61.10%), 2등급 29.5m (3.77%), 3등급 10.4m (1.33%), 4등급 241.2m (30.80%)로 나타났다. 4등급 구간은 홍화문 서쪽과 치성의 동쪽에 밀집된 양상으로 나타나며, 상시 모니터링 수행을 통해 위험상황에 대비해야 한다. 6단계로 분류한 관리등급은 전체적인 안정성 검토를 통해 수리와 보수가 수행된다면 다시 0등급으로 회귀하는 윤회적 시스템이다. 이를 위해서는 주기적인 정밀 모니터링을 통한 관리등급의 평가가 필요하다.

  • 삼한시대(三韓時代)의 성격과 성립시기(成立時期)에 대하여서는 다양한 견해가 제시되어 있는 상황이나 모두 나름대로의 한계를 가지고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 문헌자료의 기록과 고고자료상에서 서로 공통적으로 관련지어 볼 수 있는 것은 모두 전국시대(戰國時代)의 철기문화(鐵器文化)를 근간으로 하고 있다는 점이며, 연(燕)의 철기문화(鐵器文化)를 갖춘 위만조선(衛滿朝鮮)의 성립은 근본적으로 한반도 북부지역 뿐 만 아니라 중 남부지역에 이르기까지 큰 파장을 미쳤던 것으로 볼 수 있다. 철기문화(鐵器文化)의 도입단계에는 철기(鐵器)의 실용적이고 희소적인 가치에 의해서 매장유구(埋葬遺構)에는 쉽게 부장되지 않았을 것으로 보이나 기원전 2세기 전반경부터는 일부 한정된 철기(鐵器)만이 매장유구(埋葬遺構)에 부장되는 경향이다. 따라서 삼한시대(三韓時代)의 성립시기는 철기의 도입과 보편적인 활용으로 보아야하며 목관(木棺)을 사용한 서북한지방(西北韓地方)의 토광묘문화(土壙墓文化)를 포함하여 중남부지역(中南部地域)에 있어서 목관(木棺)의 흔적이 확인되고 있는 적석목관묘(積石木棺墓) 단계, 즉 기원전 3세기전반대의 어느 시점으로 파악되어야 한다. 한편 함안(咸安) 도항리고분군(道項里古墳群)에서 확인된 목관묘(木棺墓)는 목관(木棺)의 형태에 있어서 판재조립식목관(板材組立式木棺)과 통나무목관(木棺)의 2종류가 확인되며, 판재목관(板材木棺)의 사용 비율이 3배 이상 높은 편이다. 출토유물(出土遺物)은 비교적 단순한 조합상(組合相)을 보이고 있는데, 이는 영남지역(嶺南地域)을 중심으로 한 목관묘유적(木棺墓遺蹟)에서도 모두 확인되고 있는 특징이므로 전반적으로 변(弁) 진한사회(辰韓社會)의 매장문화는 동일한 흐름 속에서 전개된 것으로 볼 수 있다. 특히 통나무로 제작한 목관(木棺)은 적석목관묘(積石木棺墓)에서부터 보이기 시작하므로 한국식동검문화(韓國式銅劍文化)와 함께 목관(木棺)의 전통이 이어져 내려온 것으로 생각되며, 다호리유적(茶戶里遺蹟)과 도항리목관묘(道項里木棺墓)에서만 이러한 목관(木棺)의 존재가 확인되고 있는 것은 변한사회내(弁韓社會內)에서 양지역간(兩地域間)의 유기적인 관계를 살피는데 있어서 주목되어야 한다. 도항리목관묘(道項里木棺墓)에서 출토되고 있는 철기류((鐵器類)도 거의 다호리유적(茶戶里遺蹟)의 그것들과 유사한 경향을 보이고 있다. 도항리(道項里) 67호묘(號墓) 출토 주조철부(鑄造鐵斧)는 다호리 1호분에서 출토된 주조철부(鑄造鐵斧)와 같은 지금(地金)의 기능을 했던 것으로 보이며, 소형철부(小形鐵斧)의 구성비율이 다른 철기류에 비해서 월등히 높은 것과 기경구(起耕具)로 이용되는 철제따비의 출토가 거의 없는 것으로 보아 도항리목관묘(道項里木棺墓)단계에는 목제농기구(木製農器具)의 제작과 사용이 활발하였던 것으로 생각된다. 결국 다호리유적(茶戶里遺蹟)에 비해 절대적으로 빈약한 철기유물은 안사국(安邪國)의 내적(內的)인 한계(限界)를 보여주는 것이며 소국(小國) 수장(首長)의 신분적(身分的)인 상징(象徵)으로서 사용하였던 동경(銅鏡)과 의기류(儀器類)의 출토가 전혀 확인되지 않고 있는 것으로 보아 도항리목관묘(道項里木棺墓)를 조영한 집단(集團)은 당시 대외문화교류(對外文化交流)의 중심적인 선진지역(先進地域)에 비해서 사회문화적(社會文化的)인 변동(變動)이 덜한 주변 지역적인 성향이 강한 집단(集團)일 것으로 생각된다. 기원후 2세기 후반경 영남지역의 목관묘(木棺墓)는 목곽묘단계(木槨墓段階)로 변화되었을 것으로 생각되는데, 도항리(道項里)와 다호리유적(茶戶里遺蹟)에서도 목관묘(木棺墓)는 2세기대를 종점(終點)으로 사라진다. 고고자료상으로도 3세기에서 4세기대에 해당되는 적극적인 유구가 확인되지 않고 있으므로 이에 대한 근본적인 해석이 요구된다. 따라서 이러한 현상을 3세기 전반 이후 한반도 남부지역에서 일어났던 포상팔국(浦上八國)의 전쟁과 관련지어 합리적으로 추론하고자 한다. 즉 변한사회내(弁韓社會內)에서 도항리(道項里)와 다호리유적(茶戶里遺蹟)의 양집단(兩集團)은 낙동강(洛東江)과 남강수계(南江水系)를 장악한 교역(交易)의 중심지(中心地)로서 서로 경제적(經濟的) 정치적(政治的)인 공조체제(共助體制)가 형성되었을 것으로 생각된다. 기록에 보이는 포상팔국(浦上八國)의 대상국은 가나(加羅)와 아라국(砑羅國)이며, 가나(加羅)는 다호리집단(茶戶里集團)이 중심을 이루고 있는 것으로 파악된다. 그리고 포상팔국(浦上八國)의 전쟁시기도 기원 3세기 전반대의 상황을 비교적 자세하게 다루고 있는 "삼국지(三國志)" 위서(魏書) 동이전(東夷傳)에 이 전쟁에 대한 언급이 없는 것으로 보아 3세기 전반대 이후의 사건으로 파악될 수 있으며, 4세기 후반에 이르기까지 양지역(兩地域)에서 뚜렷한 목곽묘(木槨墓)의 축조가 이루어지지 않고 있는 점도 두 집단(集團)이 전쟁(戰爭)의 피해를 직접 받은 당사자였음을 암시하는 것으로 생각된다.

  • 청동기시대(靑銅器時代)부터 나타나기 시작하여 인류역사상 가장 오래된 방어시설로 추정되고 있는 목책(木柵)은 조선시대 임진왜란(壬辰倭亂) 이후까지 군사적인 방어기능을 더욱 강화하기 위한 목적으로 성(城)이나 병영(兵營) 외부에 설치되는 성책(城柵), 영책(營柵)의 개념으로 정립되면서 방어를 위한 필수시설로서 중요성이 더욱 부각되었다. 본 연구는 『조선왕조실록(朝鮮王朝實錄)』, 『신증동국여지승람(新增東國輿地勝覽)』 등 문헌조사를 중심으로 조선시대 관방시설로 이용되었던 목책을 연구한 결과로, 녹각성(鹿角城)과 수중목책(水中木柵)의 용도와 기능 그리고 설치 방법 그리고 목책의 소재 등을 집중적으로 고찰하였다. 본 연구의 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여말선초 외적의 침략이 빈번해짐에 따라 목책은 주요 성외 방어시설(防禦施設)로써 큰 역할을 담당하게 되었다. 또한, 목책은 당시의 시대적 상황이나 관방정책, 입지 환경에 따라 목책성, 녹각성 그리고 수중목책 등 다양한 유형으로 변용(變容)되어 설치되었다. 둘째, 목책은 요충지(要衝地)의 산성(山城)이나 영(營), 진(鎭), 보(堡), 성(城) 등 군사적 목적의 관방시설(關防施設)에 설치되었으며, 유사시 방어의 시급성에 따라 농번기(農繁期)를 피해 인력의 동원이 수월한 농한기(農閑期)에 맞춰 설치되었다. 문헌 기록을 통해 확인되는 조선시대 목책의 규모는 포백척(布帛尺)으로 환산한 결과 그 둘레가 4,428척(2,066m)부터 55척(25m)까지 매우 다양한 규모였다. 또한, 목책의 재료는 소나무와 참나무류가 주로 사용되었다. 셋째, 녹각성은 일반적인 목책보다 공격성을 겸비한 효율적인 전투 지원시설로, 『조선왕조실록』에 나타난 녹각성기록은 세종대에 20회로 가장 많은 기록이 나타났다. 지역별로는 4군 6진 지역인 평안·함길도(12) 등 변방(邊防) 험지(險地)에 주로 설치된 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 15세기 초반 조정에서 남해안 연해지역(沿海地域)의 해상 방어 전략을 수립하게 되면서부터 1510년 삼포왜란(三浦倭亂) 이후 본격적으로 읍성(邑城)을 비롯한 주요 치소(治所)나 진, 보 등 여러 관방시설 주변에 왜적의 병선(兵船)을 저지하기 위한 방어시설로서 수중목책의 설치가 급격히 증가하였다. 다섯째, 삼포왜란을 전후한 15세기부터 17세기 사이 남해안과 강화도에 수중목책이 설치되었다. 특히 15세기에 제포와 같은 경남 해안 요해처(要害處)에 수중목책이 집중적으로 설치되었다. 수중목책의 재료는 소나무와 참나무류가 주종을 이루지만 이 밖에도 합다리나무, 서어나무류, 칠덩굴도 목책의 소재로 활용되었다.

  • 가잠에 있어서 피해가 많은 전염성 연화병(Flacherie Virus; FV)과 농핵병 바이러스(Densonucleosis virus; DNV)의 증식에 관한 연구를 행하기 위하여 서당밀도 구배 초원심분리법에 의한 양바이러스의 정제 및 전자현미경에 의한 관찰, 바이러스 감염잠의 중장과 체액에서의 핵산과 단백질의 변동 및 감염중장 피막세포의 전자현미경에 의한 병리조직학적 관찰 등, 일연의 조사를 통하여 다음과 같은 연구결과를 얻었다. 1. 서당밀도구배에 의한 초원심분리법을 이용하여 FV 및 DNV를 분획한 결과, base line이 낮고 좌우상칭의 단일 peak를 나타내는 전형적인 바이러스 분획을 얻었으며, 또한 이들 바이러스의 negative 염색에 의한 전자현미경 관찰에서 FV는 27nm, DNV는 21nm의 균일한 구형입자임이 확인되었다. 2. 두 바이러스 감염잠의 체중은 바이러스 접종 6일 후부터, 중장중은 바이러스 접종 3일 후부터 건전잠에 비해 뚜렷한 감소를 나타냈다. 3. DNA의 양적 변화는 FV 및 DNV 감염잠에서 공히 중장에서는 전기간을 통해 건전잠에서 보다 높았고, 체액에서는 바이러스 접종 초ㆍ중기에는 큰 변화가 없고 바이러스 접종 7일 이후에는 건전잠에서 보다 훨씬 낮았다. 4. RNA의 양적 변화는 FV 및 DNV 감염잠에서 다같이 바이러스 접종 초기에 중장에서는 건전잠에 비해 높았고, 체액에서는 건전잠에 비해 매우 낮았으나, 바이러스 접종 말기에는 중장 및 체액의 경우 공히 건전잠에서 보다 현저히 낮았으며 그 정도는 DNV 감염잠에서 더 심했다. 5. FV 및 DNV 감염잠에서 중장과 체액의 단백질은 바이러스 접종 중기까지는 건전잠에 비해 큰 변화가 없었으나, 접종 말기에서는 건전잠에서 보다 월등히 낮았다. 6. 바이러스 접종 8일 후의 FV 및 DNV 감염잠 중장 RNA 전기영동상은 건전잠의 중장 RNA인 26S, 17S, 5S 및 4S의 4종 band와 동일했다. 7. FV 및 DNV 감염잠의 중장 단백질 전기영동상은 바이러스 접종 1일과 5일 후에는 건전잠의 것과 큰 차이가 없고, 접종 8일 후에는 건전잠에 존재하는 이동도가 낮은 L band가 양 바이러스 감염잠에서는 공히 소실되는 반면, 건전잠에서 볼 수 없는 이동도가 중간인 M band가 새로이 나타났으며 비교적 이동도가 높은 건전잠의 N band는 양 바이러스 감염잠에서는 2개로 분리되었다. 8. 체액단백질의 전기영동상은 FV 및 DNV감염잠 공히 건전잠의 것과 유사하나, 바이러스 접종 8일 후에는 양적인 감소를 나타내어 건전잠의 약 40%에 지나지 않았다. 9. FV 감염중장조직을 pyronin-methyl green 2종 염색을 하여 광학현미경으로 관찰한 결과, 바이러스 접종 8일 후의 중장원동세포내에서 A형 및 B형 봉입체가 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 10. FV감염 중장조직세포의 전자현미경 관찰에서는 바이러스 접종 5일 후에 배상세포의 'cytoplasmic wall'이 비대해지고 그 내부에 virus-specific vesicle이 형성되었으며, 바이러스 접종 8일 후에는 virus-specific vesicle, 바이러스 입자, linear structure, tubular structure 및 전자밀도가 높은 matrix 등의 바이러스 감염에 대한 특이적인 구조물이 배상세포의 세포질에서 관찰되었으며, microvilli내에서 바이러스 입자의 존재도 확정되었다. 특히 virus-specific vesicle 주위에서는 전자밀도가 높은 구형의 바이러스 입자 유사체가 관찰되었는데, 이것은 virus-specific vesicle 주위에서 바이러스 조립이 일어나는 것을 추정된다. 한편 원통세포 내에서 봉입체 관찰되고, 변형소구화된 배상세포가 중장강으로 탈락되는 것이 관찰되었다. 11. DNV감염 중장조직을 acridine orange 염색을 하여 형광현미경으로 관찰한 결과, DNV접종 5일 후에 본 바이러스 증식 장소인 원동세포핵의 비대가 뚜렷이 관찰되었다. 12. 전자현미경에 의해 DNV감염 중장조직세포를 관찰한 결과, 바이러스 접종 5일 후에 원동세포 핵내의 인이 소형 과립으로 붕괴되어 산재되었고, 접종 8일후에는 전자밀도가 높은 virogenic stroma가 출현하였으며, 감염 말기로 추정되는 핵내의 전자밀도가 전자보다 낮고 더욱 확대되어 핵의 대부분을 차지하는 virogenic stroma도 관찰되었다. 또한 이들 virogenic stroma내에서 바이러스 입자유사체가 관찰되는 것으로 보아 이 virogenic stroma는 바이러스 전구물질의 합성 및 바이러스 조립장소임을 시사하고 있다.

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

  • The 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.
