카드뮴이 BALC/c 마우스의 세포성면역능에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 여러 농도의 카드뮴이 첨가된 음료를 장기간 동안 자유급식하고, 비장내 T helper 및 T suppressor cell의 분포도, 복강대식세포의 탐식능 및 시험관내에서 Con-A 및 LPS에 대한 비장세포의 증식능을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 각군의 6주간 체중 증가율은 대조군이 27.0%이었으며, 25, 50, 100 및 200ppm $CdCl_2$, 투여군의 체중증가율은 각각 28.54%, 28.31%, 20.49% 및 18.04%로 나타났다. 2. 체중당 비장무게(mg/g)는 대조군이 $4.34{\pm}0.23$이었으며, 25, 50, 100 및 200ppm $CdCl_2$, 투여군은 각각 $4.20{\pm}0.54$, $4.80{\pm}0.87$, $4.25{\pm}0.32$ 및 $4.40{\pm}0.32$이었다. 또한 총비장세포수(${\times}10^7$)는 대조군($24.29{\pm}5.98$)에 비해 25, 50, 100 및 200ppm $CdCl_2$, 투여군에서 각각 14.1%, 35.7%, 16.6% 및 22.0%증가하였다. 3. 총 $CD_4{^+}$ 세포수(${\times}10^7$)는 대조군이 $9.15{\pm}2.24$, 25, 50, 100 및 200ppm $CdCl_2$, 투여군은 각각 $10.40{\pm}2.04$, $12.04{\pm}3.08$, $10.20{\pm}3.16$ 및 $10.80{\pm}1.48$ 이었으며, 총 $CD_8{^+}$ 세포수(${\times}10^7$)는 대조군이 $2.32{\pm}0.56$, 각 실험군의 총세포수는 $2.54{\pm}0.27$, $3.12{\pm}0.80$, $2.25{\pm}0.70$ 및 $2.24{\pm}0.28$ 이었다. 한편, $CD_4{^+}/CD_8{^+}$ 비율은 50ppm 투여군($3.88{\pm}0.01$)을 제외하고 모든 실험군에서 대조군($3.97{\pm}0.02$)에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.001). 4. 카드뮴 처리군의 SRBC에 대한 복강대식세포의 탐식능은 25 및 50ppm 투여군에서는 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 높았으나(p<0.05 및 p<0.01), 100 및 200ppm 투여군에서는 대조군과 유사하였다. 5. 시험관에서의 Con-A 및 LPS에 대한 비장림프구 증식반응은 LPS의 경우 카드뮴 농도에 비례하여 억제되었으나 Con-A에 대한 증식반응은 저농도($10^{-7}-10^{-6}M$)에서 증가된 양상을 보였다. 6. $CdCl_2$에 대한 비장세포의 세독독성은 $10^{-4}M$에서 특히 높았다. 이상의 결과는 카드뮴이 세포성면역반응에서 중요한 역할을 하는 T세포 아군의 분포도를 변화시키므로써 면역반응에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 시사한다.

과학기술(科學技術)의 발전(發展)에 따른 생활(生活) 및 의료(醫療) 수준의 향상(向上)에도 불구하고 산업발전(産業發展)에 따른 환경오염(環境汚染), 스트레스 증가(增加) 등 그 역기능(逆機能) 때문에 발암물질(發癌物質) 또는 자극(刺戟)에의 노출(露出) 등으로 인해서 전세계적(全世界的)으로 암(癌)으로 인(因)한 사망율(死亡率)이 증가(增加)되고 있다. 암(癌)은 현재(現在) 인류(人類)의 건강(健康)을 위협하는 주요(主要)한 질환(疾患)의 하나로, 오늘날 우리 나라에서 질환(疾患)으로 인(因)한 사망원인중(死亡原因中) 수위(首位)를 차지하고 있다. 이러한 암(癌)의 발생(發生)은 80%-90%가 환경적(環境的) 인자(因子)에 기인(起因)한다고 보고(報告)되고 있는데 앞으로 환경성(環境性) 발암물질(發癌物質)이 점차 증가(增加)됨에 따라 암환자(癌患者)의 발생(發生)도 더욱 증가(增加)될 것으로 예상(豫想)된다. 암(癌)의 서의학적(西醫學的) 치료(治療)는 주로 수술요법(手術療法), 방사선요법(放射線療法), 화학요법(化學療法) 및 면역요법(免疫療法) 등이 활용(活用)되고 있다. 이중 수술요법(手術療法)과 방사선요법(放射線療法)은 암(癌)이 전신(全身)에 전이(轉移) 증식(增殖)되기 전에 실시(實施)함으로써 효과(效果)를 거둘 수는 있으나, 암(癌)이 원발병소(原發病巢) 이외(以外)에까지 전이(轉移) 증식(增殖)되었을 경우에는 이 두가지 방법(方法)의 국소요법(局所療法)만으로서는 좋은 치료효과(治療效果)를 거두기 어렵다. 따라서 최근 항암제(抗癌劑)에 의한 화학요법(化學療法)이 다른 방법(方法)보다 유효(有效)하다고 인정(認定)이 되어 가장 많이 활용(活用)되고 있으나, 암종(癌種)에 대한 감수성차이(感受性差異), 치료후(治療後)의 부작용(副作用), 재발(再發) 및 합병증(合倂症) 등의 문제점(問題點)때문에 부작용(副作用)을 감소(減少)시키면서 항암효과(抗癌效果)를 높이는 치료법(治療法)이 계속 연구(硏究)되고 있다. 이에 1972년(年) 미국(美國) 국립암연구소(國立癌硏究所)에서 실시(實施)한 항암제(抗癌劑) 개발연구(開發硏究)에 있어서 항종양성(抗腫瘍性) Screening test에 이용(利用)된 물질중(物質中) 약 47%가 천연물질(天然物質)이었다는 사실은 주목(注目)할만 하다. 한의학적(韓醫學的) 치료법(治療法)은 최근(最近)에 변증시치(辨證施治)를 근간(根幹)으로 하여 건비익기(健脾益氣)를 위주(爲主)로한 부정거사법(扶正祛邪法)과 부정배본법(扶正培本法)이 많이 활용(活用)되고 있으며 부정법(扶正法)으로는 익기건비(益氣健脾), 자음보혈(滋陰補血), 온보비신(溫補裨腎) 등이, 거사법(祛邪法)으로는 활혈거어법(活血祛瘀法), 청열해독법(淸熱解毒法), 연견화담법(軟堅化痰法) 등이 활용(活用)되고 있는데, 이를 근거(根據)로 하여 한약(韓藥)의 복방(複方).단미(單味).단미추출물(單味抽出物) 등의 투여(投與)와 침(鍼) 구(灸) 수침(水鍼) 전침(電鍼) laser침(鍼)등의 치료방법(治療方法)을 수술(手術) 후(後) 혹(或)은 화학요법(化學療法)이나 방사선요법(放射線療法)와 병행(幷行)하여 치료효과(治療效果)가 향상(向上)되었다고 보고(報告)하고 있다. 항암제(抗癌劑)의 항암효과(抗癌效果) 정도(程度)를 검사(檢査)하는 방법(方法)은 크게 5가지로 분류(分類)되는데, 하나는 세포(細胞)를 약제(藥劑)에 노출(露出)시킨 후 현미경(顯微鏡)을 통하여 나타난 형태학적(形態學的) 변화(變化)를 가지고 약제(藥劑)의 효과정도(效果程度)를 결정(決定)하는 방법(方法)이고, 둘째는 Dye exclusion assay방법(方法)으로 살아있는 세포(細胞)가 trypan blue, eosin, nigrosin과 같은 염색액(染色液)에 염색(染色)되지 않는 점을 이용(利用)한 것이며, 세번째는 항암제(抗癌劑)의 항암효과(抗癌效果)를 알아보는 지표(指標)로 사용(使用)되는 Crrelease assay가 있으나, 세가지 방법(方法) 모두 현재(現在) 사용(使用)되고 있지 않다. 넷째로는 세포(細胞) 대사(代謝)의 방해정도(妨害程度)를 측정(測定)하거나 세포내(細胞內) 방사성(放射性) 동위원소(同位元素)의 유입방해(流入妨害) 정도(程度)를 측정(測定)하는 방법(方法)이 있고, 다섯째로는 본(本) 실험(實驗)에서 사용(使用)한 방법(方法)으로 stem cell assay라고도 하는 clonogenetic assay가 있는데, 이는 세포(細胞)를 약제(藥劑)에 노출(露出) 시킨 후 soft agar에 single cell suspension으로 배양(培養)하여 그 세포(細胞)의 분열(分裂).증식능력(增殖能力)을 측정(測定)하는 방법(方法)이다. 이 방법(方法)은 특히 성장(成長) 특성(特性)이 다른 종양세포(腫瘍細胞)의 경우 개개(個個) 세포(細胞)에 대한 약제효과(藥劑效果)를 반영(反映)할 수 있어서 종양세포(腫瘍細胞)의 이질성(異質性)에 따른 차이점(差異點)을 보정(補整)할 수 있는 방법(方法)이며, 1971년(年) Park 등이 마우스 골수종(骨髓腫) 세포(細胞)에 대한 stem cell assay를 시행(施行)해 본 결과(結果) in vivo에서의 결과(結果)와 잘 일치(一致)하여 그 이후로는 종양세포(腫瘍細胞)에 대한 항암제(抗癌劑)의 약제(藥劑) 감수성검사(感受性檢査)에 많이 사용(使用)되고 있다. 진령탕가감방은 담습응결(痰濕凝結)을 치료(治療)하는 효능(效能)을 가진 처방(處方)으로 거담작용(祛痰作用)을 가진 반하(半夏), 패모(貝母), 거습작용(祛濕作用)을 가진 의이인(薏苡仁), 백복령, 이기(理氣) 하기작용(下氣作用)을 가진 진피(陳皮), 대자석, 정향(丁香), 비파엽(枇杷葉), 항암작용(抗癌作用)을 가진 용규(龍葵), 반지련(半枝蓮), 모려(牡蠣), 하고초(夏枯草), 저령 등(等)의 약물(藥物)로 구성되어 있다. 근래(近來) 단일약물(單一藥物)의 항암효과(抗癌效果)에 대한 실험적(實驗的) 연구(硏究)로는 금(金) 등에 의한 인삼(人蔘), 녹용(鹿茸)의 항체생산(抗體生産) 억제(抑制) 완화효과(緩和效果) 및 임(任)에 의한 어성초(魚腥草), 녹혈(鹿血), 저령, 천산갑(穿山甲) 등이 정상(正常) 면역세포(免役細胞)에는 거의 독작용(毒作用)을 일으키지 않으면서 강력(强力)한 항암효과(抗癌效果)가 있다는 보고(報告), 금(金) 등에 의한 자완, 동풍채(東風菜), 영지(靈芝), 선학초(仙鶴草), 파두(巴豆) 등이 항암작용(抗癌作用) 및 면역반응(免疫反應)에 효과(效果)를 미친다는 보고(報告) 등이 있고, 복합제제(複合製劑) 약물(藥物)의 항암효과(抗癌效果)에 대한 연구(硏究)로는 강(姜) 등에 의한 식분환(息賁丸), 비기환(肥氣丸) 및 비기환이 백혈병(白血病)과 임파종환자(淋巴腫患者)에서 추출(抽出)한 암세포(癌細胞)에 항암효과(抗癌效果)가 있다는 보고(報告) 및 금(金) 등에 의한 복량환(伏梁丸), 비기환 및 소적정원산(消積正元散)이 각종(各種) 암세포주(癌細胞柱)이 성장저애(成長沮碍) 효과(效果), 윤(尹) 등에 의한 육군자탕(六君子湯), 소시호탕(小柴胡湯), 사묘탕(四妙湯), 대시호탕(大柴胡湯), 방독탕(防毒湯), 반하백출천마탕(半夏白朮天麻湯), 파두(巴豆)를 가미(加味)한 사군자탕(四君子湯) 및 사물탕(四物湯) 등이 항암작용(抗癌作用) 및 면역반응(免疫反應)에 효과(效果)를 보인다는 보고(報告) 등이 있었으나, 아직까지 진령탕가감방의 항암효과(抗癌效果)에 대한 실험연구(實驗硏究)는 없었다. 이에 저자(著者)는 항암효과(抗癌效果)가 있을 것으로 추정(推定)되는 진령탕가감방의 항종양효과(抗種瘍效果)를 알아보기 위하여, 수용성(水溶性) 추출액(抽出液)을 얻은 후 현대(現代) 병리학적(病理學的)으로 다용(多用)하는 colony형성억제실험(形成抑制實驗), SRB assay에 의한 항종양효과(抗種瘍效果), 생명연장율(生命延長率), 화학적(化學的)인 방법(方法)과 암종세포(癌腫細胞) 이식(移植)에 의한 종양(腫瘍) 유발(誘發)을 통하여 암(癌) 발생(發生) 및 그 경과(經過)에 미치는 영향(影響) 및 NK세포활성(細胞活性)에 미치는 영향(影響) 등을 관찰(觀察)하였다. 본(本) 실험(實驗)에서는 진령탕가감방의 종양세포(腫瘍細胞)에 대한 증식억제작용(增殖抑制作用)을 관찰(觀察)하고자 in vitro test인 colony형성억제실험(形成抑制實驗)과 SRB assay를 이용(利用)하였는데, 진령탕가감방의 추출액(抽出液)이 종양세포(腫瘍細胞)의 성장(成長)을 억제(抑制)하는 효과(效果)가 농도의존적(濃度依存的)으로 증가(增加)하는 결과(結果)를 보여 항종양(抗腫瘍)의 효과(效果)가 있음을 나타냈고(Table 3, 4), in vivo assay로서 sarcoma 180 복수암세포를 이식(移植)한 마우스의 평균생존일수(平均生存日數)를 관찰(觀察)하여 NCI protocol에 의하여 검정(檢定)한 결과(結果), 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)을 투여(投與)한 마우스의 평균생존기간(平均生存期間) 및 생명연장율(生命延長率)이 뚜렷하게 증가(增加)되었다(Table 5). 또한 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)을 마우스에 투여(投與)하면 MCA로 유도(誘導)한 종양(腫瘍) 및 3LL 세포(細胞) 이식(移植)에 의한 종양(腫瘍)의 발생율(發生率) 및 발생(發生)된 종양(腫瘍)의 크기가 현저히 감소(減少)되었다(Table 6, 7). 이러한 효과(效果)는 진령탕가감방이 감수성(感受性) 암종세포(癌腫細胞)에 직접적으로 영향(影響)을 미쳐 그 증식(增殖)이 억제(抑制)되었을 가능성(可能性)을 생각할 수 있다. 그렇지만 본(本) 연구(硏究)에서는 암종특이성(癌腫特異性)에 관한 결론(結論)을 내릴 수는 없으므로 암종특이성(癌腫特異性)에 관한 연구(硏究)는 진행(進行)해야 할 것으로 생각된다. 또 다른 가능(可能)한 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)의 항종양(抗腫瘍) 작용기전(作用機轉)은 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)이 NK세포(細胞)의 활성(活性)을 항진(亢進)시킨 실험결과(實驗結果)로 유추(類推)하여, 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)이 종양(腫瘍)마우스에 비특이적(非特異的)인 면역활성(免疫活性)을 촉진(促進)시킴으로써 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)의 항종양작용(抗腫瘍作用)이 발현될 가능성(可能性)도 생각할 수 있다. 따라서 앞으로 여러 암종세포(癌腫細胞)에 대한 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)의 항종양작용(抗腫瘍作用)과 종양동물(腫瘍動物)에서의 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液) 투여(投與)에 의한 생체생리현상(生體生理現象)의 변화(變化), 생리활성물질(生理活性物質)의 본능(本能) 등을 밝히기 위한 보다 구체적(具體的)이고 광범위(廣範圍)한 연구(硏究)가 수행(隨行)되어져야 되리라고 사료(思料)된다. 세포성(細胞性) 면역반응중(免疫反應中) 중요(重要)한 역할(役割)을 하는 작동세포중 NK세포(細胞)는 여러 종양(腫瘍)에 대해 자연살해능(自然殺害能)을 보여 소위 T비의존성(非依存性) 면역감시기전(免疫監視機轉)에 관하여는 바이러스 및 세균(細菌)에 감염(感染)된 세포(細胞)를 파괴(破壞)하는 활성(活性)을 가지며, IL-2 및 Interferon 등에 의하여 활성(活性)이 증가(增加)된다. NK세포(細胞)가 표적세포를 파괴(破壞)하는 기전(機轉)에 관해서는 아직 확실히 알려져 있지 않으나, 첫째로 표적세포를 인식(認識)하는 시기(時期), 둘째로 융해기전(融解機轉)을 활성화(活性化)시키는 시기(時期), 셋째로 NK lymphotoxin이 유리(遊離)되는 시기(時期), 넷째로 표적세포의 사멸기(死滅期)로 나눌 수 있다. 본(本) 실험(實驗)에서 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)으로 전처리(前處理)시 NK세포(細胞)의 표적세포와의 결합능(結合能)은 물론 결합(結合)된 표적세포의 융해능(融解能)이 촉진(促進)된 결과(結果)를 보이는데(Table 8), 이와 같은 결과(結果)는 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)이 NK세포(細胞)의 표적세포 파괴 4단계 전체를 항진(亢進)시킨 결과(結果)로 인정(認定)된다. 이상에서 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)을 폐암세포주인 A549와 간암세포주인 hep3B 및 신장암 유래의 종양세포주인 Caki-1 cell에 투여(投與)한 결과, in vitro test인 colony형성억제실험(形成抑制實驗)과 SRB assay에서 모두 농도의존적(濃度依存的)으로 암세포주 성장(成長)을 억제(抑制)하였다. 2. Strcoma 180세포(細胞)를 마우스에 이식(移植)하여 평균생존기간(平均生存期間) 및 생명연장율(生命延長率)을 측정(測定)하는 in vivo test에서는 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)이 마우스의 평균생존기간(平均生存期間) 및 생명연장율(生命延長率)을 증가(增加)시키는 결과(結果)를 보였다. 3. 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)은 MCA로 유도(誘導)한 종양(腫瘍)의 발생율(發生率) 및 발생종양(發生腫瘍)의 크기를 현저히 감소(減少)시켰으며, 3LL세포(細胞) 이식(移植)에 의한 종양발생(腫瘍發生) 또한 현저히 감소(減少)시켰다. 4. 진령탕가감방 추출액(抽出液)은 NK세포(細胞)의 활성도(活性度)를 증가(增加)시켰다. 특히 $10{\mu}g/ml$ 농도 에서 NK세포(細胞) 활성도(活性度)가 가장 현저히 증가(增加)되었다. 이상(以上)의 결과(結果)로 보아 진령탕가감방은 암종세포(癌腫細胞)에 대한 직접적(直接的)인 성장억제(成長抑制) 및 세포(細胞)의 활성(活性)을 통한 면역증진(免疫增進)에 의해 다양(多樣)한 항종양효과(抗腫瘍效果)를 보인 것으로 사료(思料)된다.

연구목적: 4종 구치용도재관(Full-porcelain-occlusal-surfaced PFG, Half-porcelain-occlusal-surfaced PFG, Empress 2, Ice Zirkon)과 선별된 한국음식의 fracture load와 dynamic cyclic load를 측정하여 구치용 도재관에 파절을 일으킬 가능성이 있는 한국음식을 선별하는데 있다. 연구재료 및 방법: 4종의 각 porcelain 보철물 system 당 15개의 축대칭을 이루는 crown을 제작했다. 이때 occlusal reduction은 1.5-2.0 mm로 했다(중심부 1.5 mm, 교두부 2.0 mm). 각 15개의 시편의 교합면 중앙부에 직경 5 mm의 stainless steel ball을 위치시킨 후 Instron 4465 universal testing machine(Instron, Norwood, MA USA)을 이용하여 5 mm/min의 crosshead speed로 수직 부하를 주어 파절을 일으키는 최대 부하(N)를 기록했다. 이후, 한국음식 중 삶은 게, 닭(뼈포함), 소갈비(뼈포함), 마른 오징어, 건멸치, 사탕, 호두껍질을 표본으로 설정하고 이들을 파절시키는 최대 부하(N)를 universal testing machine(Instron 4465) 에서 측정하여 기록했다. 각 항목당 15번을 측정했다. 음식물을 파절시킬 때 필요한 최대부하와 각 보철물의 파절저항을 비교하여 한국의 식습관과 도재를 이용한 보철물 파절의 상관관계를 조사하였다. fracture loads는 analysis of variance 와 Post Hoc tests를 이용해서 분석하였다($\alpha$=0.05). 차후에 위에서 얻은 결과를 바탕으로 Hydraulic Dynamic Fatigue Testing Machine(858 Bionix II, MTS systems, Eden Prairie, MN USA)를 이용하여 4종의 각 porcelain 보철물 system당 5개의 crown에 14Hz Cyclic Load를 가하여 crown에 파절을 일으키는 masticatory cycle수를 알아 보았다. Load 수치는 41.0 N(건멸치 파절강도), 169.0 N(마른오징어 파절강도), 382.9 N(닭뼈 파절강도), 2224.8 N(사탕 파절강도)로 설정하였다. 결과: 95% confidence intervals for mean fracture load는 2599.3-2809.1 N(완전도재교합면 PFG), 3689.4-3819.9 N(반도재교합면 PFG), 1501.2-1867.9 N(Ice Zirkon), 803.2-1188.5 N(Empress 2)로 나왔고 95% confidence intervals for dynamic cyclic load on fracture는 instron 상에서 도재보철물에 파절을 일으키지 않은 load인 2224.8 N(사탕 파절강도)와 382.9 N(닭뼈 파절강도)로 실험했을 때, 2224.8 N에서 4796.8-9321.2 cycles(완전도재교합면 PFG), 2224.8 N에서 881705.1-1143565.7 cycles(반도재교합면 PFG), 382.9 N에서 979993.0-1145773.4 cycles(Ice Zirkon), 382.9 N에서 564.1-954.7 cycles(Empress 2)로 나왔다. 결론: 통계학적으로 유의할 만한 차이가 그룹들 간 fracture load에서 나타났다. 한국음식물 중 소갈비(뼈포함)와 사탕(자두맛캔디)은 구치용 도재보철물을 파절시킬 가능성이 있는 음식물로 밝혀졌다. 단일수직부하에서는 파절이 생기지 않는 경우라 할지라도 dynamic cyclic load를 줄 경우 일정 주기 후에 파절이 생기는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

대동맥류 질환에 사용되는 스텐트그라프트의 체외실험을 위한 대동맥류 혈류 팬텀의 유효성과 실현가능성에 대해 평가하고자 한다. 팬텀은 인체의 혈류 조건과 유사한 상황을 재현할 수 있도록 심장부분과 대동맥류 부분으로 구성되었다. 심장부분은 고압력 수중펌프와 솔레노이드 밸브를 사용하여 심장의 대동맥 혈류를 재현하였고, 대동맥류 부분은 지점토를 사용하여 동맥류 모양을 재현하고 그 틀을 투명 실리콘으로 틀을 떠내는 방법으로 제작하였다. 두부분은 실리콘 관으로 연결하였다. 제작된 팬텀에서 밸브의 개폐 시간에 따른 압력(수축기/이완기) 변화를 측정하였으며, 스텐트그라프삽입술 전, 후의 압력변화를 측정하였으며, 통계적 유의성을 알아보았다. 밸브의 개폐 시간에 따른 압력 변화는 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 보였다(P<0.05). 0.5회/초의 개폐조건에서는 팬텀의 대동맥 근위부, 대동맥류, 원위부의 압력은 각각 $157.80{\pm}1.92/130.20{\pm}1.92$, $159.40{\pm}1.14/134.00{\pm}2.92$, $147.20{\pm}1.480/129.60{\pm}2.70\;mmHg$이었으며, 1.0회/초의 개폐 조건에서는 $161.40{\pm}1.34/90.20{\pm}1.64$, $175.00{\pm}1.58/93.00{\pm}1.58$, $176.80{\pm}1.48/90.80{\pm}1.92\;mmHg$이었고, 1.5회/초의 개폐 조건에서는 $159.40{\pm}1.82/127.20{\pm}1.48$, $166.60{\pm}1.67/138.00{\pm}1.87$, and $161.00{\pm}1.22/135.40{\pm}1.67\;mmHg$이었다. 스텐트그라프삽입술 전, 후의 팬텀의 압력변화는 대동맥부분에서 측정하였으며, 각각 $143.60{\pm}1.67/90.20{\pm}1.64$, $47.20{\pm}1.92/84.60{\pm}1.82$, and $137.40{\pm}1.52/88.80{\pm}1.64\;mmHg$이었다. 결론적으로, 대동맥류 팬텀은 압력의 범위를 다양하게 적용할 수 있고, 팬텀 내에서 시술의 재현이 가능하여 동물실험 전 스텐트그라프트의 유용성을 평가하기 위한 체외실험 기구로 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 주스박에 토착하고 있는 미생물을 분리하고 이를 발효에 이용하여 사료적 가치를 평가하고자 하였다. 주스박과 대두박을 원료로 하여 바실러스, 효모 그리고 유산균을 혼합 접종하여 수분 60%에서 고체발효 후의 pH변화, 총 균수의 변화와 같은 발효특성과 원료의 시간대별 일반성분의 변화를 확인하고자 하였다. 사과박, 당근박, 포도박, 감귤박에서 발효에 이용하기 위한 토착균주들을 분리, 동정하였으며 분리균 중 Lactobacillus plantarum, Weissella cibaria 및 Bacillus subtilis를 선택하여 농산부산물 고체발효에 이용하였다. 발효 주스박의 원료로는 사과박, 당근박, 포도박, 감귤박과 각 박을 동일비율로 혼합한 혼합박을 이용하여 5개의 시험구를 구성하였다. 위의 박들을 대두박과 2:3의 비율로 혼합하였으며 수분은 60%로 하여 발효 출발점에 바실러스, 12시간대에 효모 그리고 24시간에 유산균을 단계적으로 접종하여 $35^{\circ}C$에서 총 48시간 동안 발효하였다. 발효에 의한 pH변화는 발효 전후에서 사과박, 당근박, 포도박, 감귤박 그리고 혼합박에서 각각 $6.25{\rightarrow}4.47$, $6.23{\rightarrow}4.41$, $6.12{\rightarrow}4.66$, $5.49{\rightarrow}4.56$ 그리고 $5.45{\rightarrow}4.40$로 낮아지는 변화를 보였다. 발효 시간에 따른 생균수를 조사한 결과 발효 최초 접종시 초기 균수인 $10^7$에 비해 12, 24 그리고 48시간 발효 후에 모든 처리구에서 $10^8{\sim}10^9$로 증식되면서 발효가 지속적으로 진행되어 선별한 균주와 단계별 균주의 접종조건이 주스박을 발효함에 있어 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 발효 초기인 12시간까지 젖산의 생성이 급격히 진행되었으며 사과박, 당근박, 포도박, 감귤박 그리고 혼합박에서 각각 632.40, 726.74, 674.29, 647.39 그리고 748.77 mMol/g으로 생성되었다. 발효 시간에 따른 건물함량은 초기 건물함량인 60%에서 12, 24시간 발효 후 당근박의 건물함량이 각각 54.84%, 56.66%로 다른 처리구들보다 유의적으로 높은 값을 보였으며(p<0.05), 포도박은 45.3%, 44.15%로 낮은 건물량을 보였다(p<0.05). 전반적으로 건물함량은 원물의 20%정도가 감소되었으며, 발효 시간에 따라서는 크게 변하지 않았다. 발효 시간대별 NDF는 발효 12시간째 모든 주스박에서 많은 감소를 보였으며 24시간부터 서서히 감소 또는 유지를 하였으며, 24시간대에는 포도박과 사과박이 가장 높은 경향을 보였다(p<0.10). ADF는 전반적으로 발효 시간에 따라 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으나, 사과박은 발효초기에 비해 12시간 때부터 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다 (p<0.10). 발효 시간에 따른 조회분은 쥬스박 별로 차이를 보이지 않았으나 (p<0.05), 전체적으로 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 주스박을 이용한 말용 사료를 개발하기 위해 사과박, 당근박, 포도박 그리고 말분변을 접종하였을 때 이들을 이용하는 우점 균주를 분리할 수 있었다. 이들 균주 중에서 발효에 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 바실러스와 유산균을 선별하였다. 바실러스, 효모 그리고 유산균을 3단계로 12시간 간격으로 각각 순서에 따라 접종하였다. 각 균주의 접종이후 12시간부터는 총 균수가 각각 $10^8$ 이상으로 유지하였다. 48시간 배양 후는 바실러스, 효모 그리고 유산균이 거의 균등하게 성장하였으며 이러한 주스박 발효물을 이용하여 말 사료로 이용하면 식품부산물을 사료자원으로 이용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 말을 위한 생균제의 급여로 말의 장내에서 유익한 균총의 유지에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Beauv), 한련초(Eclipta prostrata L.), 강아지풀(Septaria viridis P. Beauv.), 좀바랭이(Digitaria sangvinalis Scapoli) 등(等)에서 잎집무늬마름병반(病斑)이 형성(形成)되었다. 7. 질소배비구(窒素倍肥區)에서는 잎집무늬마름병(病)의 피해(被害)가 증가(增加)하였고 가리배비구(加里倍肥區)에서는 감소(減少)하였으나 규산시용구(硅酸施用區)에서는 피해감소(被害減少)의 효과(效果)가 없었다. 규산시용구(硅酸施用區)에서는 도체내(稻體內)의 질소함량(窒素含量)과 전분함량(澱粉含量)이 다같이 감소(減少)하였다. 8. 생육전기(生育前期)의 이병경율(罹病莖率)은 밀식구(密植區)가 높았으나 생육후기(生育後期)에는 소식구(疎植區)의 1주당(株當) 분얼수(分蘖數)가 많아 이병경율(罹病莖率) 및 피해도(被害度)가 높아졌으며 주당(株當) 1본식(本植)한 구(區)에서는 피해(被害)가 적었다. 9. 잎집무늬마름병(病)에 대(對)한 수도(水稻) 품종(品種)의 피해도차이(被害度差異)는 출수일수(出穗日數)와 밀접(密接)한 관계(關係)가 있었다. 즉 출수일수(出穗日數)와 피해도(被害度)와의 상관관계(相關關係)는 6월(月)13일(日) 이앙(移秧)한 구(區)에서는 r=-0.707이었고 6월(月) 25일(日) 이앙(移秧)한 구(區)에서는 r=-0.496으로 비교적 높은 상관(相關)을 나타내어 출수(出穗)가 빠른 것이 피해(被害)가 크고 낮은 것이 피해(被害)가 적은 경향(傾向)이었다. 또한 본병(本病)은 분얼(分蘖)이 많은 품종(品種)일수록 피해(被害)가 심(甚)하였다. 10. 생육전기(生育前期)의 이병경율(罹病莖率)은 출수후(出穗後)의 피해도(被害度)와 상관(相關)이 없었으나 생육후기(生育後期)의 이병경율(罹病莖率)은 피해도(被害度)와 상관(相關)이 높았다.

목적 : X-선 조사 후 이동원 염색체와 환형 염색체의 빈도가 피폭 선량과 비례하는지를 확인하고, X-선 조사시 선량률의 변화가 생물학적 선량 측정에 영향을 주는지를 찾아서 보정인자로 작용하는지를 알아보았다. 대상 및 방법 : 28세의 건강한 성인남자에서 2회에 걸쳐 각각 16 ml와 18 ml의 전혈을 정맥으로부터 무균채취하여 이미 해파린(heprin) 처리되어 있는 10 ml의 vacutainer (삼화공사, 한국)에 2 ml씩 분주하였다. 분주한 혈액 시료를 1개는 정상대조 군으로 16개는 실험 군으로 총 17개를 실험에 사용하였으며, 방사선 조사는 조사야 10${\times}$10 cm$^{2}$로 분당 240 cGy 의 일정한 선량률로 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 600, 800 cGy의 선량을 각 1회 조사하였다. 나머지 9개의 실험 군은 동일한 선량(400 cGy)에서 선량률 변화만 주어 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 160, 240, 320, 400 cGy/min의 각 선량률로 1회 조사하였다. 관찰 시 염색체의 개수가 46${\times}$2개 되는지 여부를 확인하고 또한 염색체의 밀도나 염색체 형태가 염색체 이상 빈도 확인에 적합한지 확인한 후 해당되는 경우에 한해서만 계측하였다. 각 표본에서 최소 50개의 림프구를 관찰하려고 하였다. 통계처리는 SPSS를 이용하여 평균값 비교와 회귀곡선의 기울기 값을 구하였다. 결과 : 방사선 조사된 림프구의 관찰된 총 수에 대한 염색체 이상을 가진 림프구의 비율(yield)은 선량이 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 600, 800 cGy일 때 각각 0, 9, 20, 27, 55, 88, 100%이었다. 선량변화에 따른 염색체 이상(이동원 및 환형 염색체)의 평균빈도는 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 800 cGy일 때 각각 0.000, 0.093, 0.200, 0.354, 0.612, 2.040, 2.846이었다. 관찰된 총림프구에서 이동원 염색체와 환형 염색체의 빈도(Ydr)는 선량이 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 600, m cGy일 때 각각 0.000, 0.093, 0.200, 0.364, 0.613, 2.040, 2.846이었다. 방사선량과 Ydr의 관계는 Ydr=$\alpha$D+$\beta$D$^{2}$에 의한 Liner-quadratic model을 따를 때 Ydr=0.188${\times}$10$^{-2}$ D/Gy+0.422${\times}$10$^{-4}$/Gy$^{2}$${\times}$D$^{2}$로 나타났다. 이동원 염색체와 환형 염색체 이상을 가지는 림프구에서 이동원 염색체와 환형 염색체의 빈도(Qdr)는 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 600, 800의 선량일 때 각각 0.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.333, 1.118, 2.318, 2.846 이었으며 이는 앞의 Ydr값으로부터 구한 값과 거의 일치하였다. 선량율을 각각 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 160, 240, 320, 400 cGy/min으로 달리하여 총 선량을 400 cGy를 각각 조사했을 때 임파구에서 나타난 염색체이상(이동원, 환형, 무동원체단편 염색체)의 빈도의 차는 없었다. 결론 : 방사선의 급성 피폭에 의한 손상은 선량률에 의한 영향은 미미하며 대부분 피폭된 총 선량에 의해 좌우된다. 염색체 이상을 이용한 생물학적 선량측정방법은 피폭 선량이 증가함에 따라 비교적 규칙적으로 증가하므로 피폭 선량 측정을 위한 유용한 방법이라고 생각한다. 그러나 일회 피폭인 급성 피폭 시는 선량률 변화가 보정인자로써 작용하지는 않았다.

목적 : 임상에서 발생빈도가 높은 위선암, 폐선암, 망막세포종, 자궁경부 편평상피암의 4가지 인 체암세포주(MKN-45, PC-14, Y-79, HeL)를 이용하여 방사선조사후 세포생존분획 및 세포생존곡선의 모양을 결정하는 지표를 구하고 방사선조사후 손상 회복정도를 측정하여 이들 여러 지표간의 상관관계 여부를 구명하기 위하여 본실험을 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 :각 세포주의 방사선감수성을 보기 위하여 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 및 10Gy의 방사선을 1 회 조사하였고 방사선조사후 준치사손상 회복정도를 보기 위하여 5Gy씩 2회의 방사선조사를 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 및 24시간 간격으로 시행하였다. 세포의 생존분획은 $Sperman-K\"{a}rbor$ 방법으로 세포집락형성능력을 측정하여 산출하였으며 생존곡선의 수학적 분석은 linear-quadratic(LQ), multitarget-single hit(MS) 모형과 mean inactivation $dose(\v{D})$를 이용하였다. 결과 : 방사선조사후의 세포생존 실험결과 2Gy에서의 세포생존분획(SF2)은 0.174에서 0.85까지 다양하게 나타났으며 Y-79는 유의하게 낮은 SF2를, PC-14는 높은 SF2를 나타내었다(p<0.05, t-test). LQ model로 분석한 방사선 세포생존곡선의 분석결과 Y-79, MKN-45, HeLa, PC-14에서 ${\alpha}$가 각각 0.603, 0.355, 0.275, 0.102이었고 ${\beta}$는 각각 0.005, 0.016, 0.025, 0.027이었다. MS model로 분석한 결과는 Y-79, MKN-45, HeLa, PC-14에서 Do가 각각 1.59, 1.84, 1.88, 2.52였고 n은 0.97, 1.46, 1.52, 1.69를 보였다. 한편 Gauss-Laguerre방법으로 계산한 $\v{D}$는 Y-79, MKN-45, HeLa, PC-14에서 각각 1.62, 2.37, 2.61, 3.95였다. SF2가 감소함에 따라 ${\alpha}$값은 증가하였고 Do, $\v{D}$값은 감소하였으며 이들간의 Pearson 상관계수는 각각 0.953, 0.993, 0.999였다. (p<0.05). 분할조사에 의한 준치사손상 회복정도는 약 4시간 내외에 포화상태에 도달하였으며 포화상태의 recovery ratio(RR)는 2에서 3.79 사이였다. RR은 방사선감수성의 지표인 SF2, ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, Do, $\v{D}$과 통계학적으로 유의한 상관관계를 나타내지 않았다. 결론 : 본 연구의 결과 네가지 인체상피암세포주의 내재적 발사선감수성은 서로 상이하였으며 Y-79가 가장 민감하였고, MKN-45와 HeLa는 각각 중등도의 방사선감수성을 나타냈으며 PC-14는 방사선감수성이 가장 낮았다. 이와같은 감수성의 차이는 SF2, ${\alpha}$, Do와 $\v{D}$의 차이로 나타났으며 띠들간에는 밀접한 상관관계를 나타내었다. 방사선에 의한 준치사손상 회복력은 MKN-45와 HeLa에서 높게 나타났고 회복력과 방사선감수성과는 무관하였다. 각 암세포주에 따르는 이와같은 지표들은 향후 방사선치료 효과를 높이기 위한 방사선생물학 실험의 기초 자료로서 이용되어 질 수 있을 것이다.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
