목 적: 최신 선형가속기와 새로운 평가 장비를 도입하게 되어 이를 임상에 적용하기 위한 준비과정 중 몇 가지 문제가 발생하여 유용성을 확인하는 과정을 분석함으로써 앞으로 이 장비를 도입하는 기관에 도움이 되고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 모든 측정은 TrueBEAM STX (Varian, USA)를 이용하였으며, 전산화치료계획장비(Eclipse ver 10.0.39, Varian, USA)를 이용하여 각 에너지 별, 조사조건 별 선량분포파일을 산출하였다. MapCHECK 2의 고유의 성능과 오차로 발생 할 수 있는 원인에 대하여 측정 및 분석하였다. MapCHECK 2의 성능 확인을 위해 6X, 6X-FFF (Flattening Filter Free), 10X, 10X-FFF, 15X의 에너지별로 필드사이즈 $10{\times}10$ cm, gantry $0^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$ 방향에서 측정을 하였다. 또한 기존 IGRT couch의 CT값이 volumetric dosimetry에 영향을 주는지 확인을 위해서, CT 넘버 값: -800 (Carbon) & -950 (COUCH안의 공기), -100 & -950을 지정해준 상태에서 6X-FFF, 15X의 에너지별로 필드사이즈 $10{\times}10$ cm, gantry $0^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$, $135^{\circ}$, $275^{\circ}$ 방향에서 측정을 하였고, MapPHAN에 할당된 HU 값 확인을 위해 Solid water phantom 3 cm을 위로 얹은 MapCHECK 2와 치료계획용 컴퓨터를 이용해 비교하였고, MapPHAN의 각진 모서리에 의한 측정오류문제, MapPHAN의 gantry 방향 의존성을 알아보기 위해 3가지 방법으로 측정 하였다. 세로로 세운 세팅 상태에서 6X-FFF, 15X를 GANTRY $90^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$ 방향에서 각각 측정하고, 가로로 세운 세팅상태에서 에너지 6X-FFF, 15X를 필드사이즈 $10{\times}10$ cm, $90^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $315^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$의 방향에서 각각 측정하였다. 세 번째로 빔의 세기조절을 하지 않은 상태에서 open arc를 조사하였다. 결 과: MapCHECK의 기본 성능을 확인, Couch에 의한 감약 측정, MAP-PHAN에 할당하는 HU값 측정, MapPHAN의 각진 모서리에 대한 계산 정확도 확인을 위한 측정에서 모두 유효한 범위에 들어와 측정오류에 영향을 미치지 않는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. Gantry 방향의존성 확인하기 위한 3가지 방법 중 첫 번째로 측정기를 세운 상태에서의 값은 Gantry $270^{\circ}$ (상대적 $0^{\circ}$), $90^{\circ}$ (상대적 $180^{\circ}$)에서 6X-FFF, 15X에서 각각 -1.51, 0.83%와 -0.63, -0.22%를 나타내어 AP/PA 방향에 의한 영향이 없음을 나타냈다. 측정기를 가로로 세팅한 상태에서는 Gantry $90^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$에서 에너지 6X-FFF 4.37, 2.84%, 15X에서는 -9.63, -13.32%의 차이가 측정되어 gamma pass rate 3%의 값보다 큰 값을 나타내므로 MapPHAN에 의한 측방향 측정값이 유효범위 안에 들지 못하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 마지막 Open Arc에서 6X-FFF, 15X 에너지를 필드사이즈 $10{\times}10$ cm에 $360^{\circ}$ 회전상태에서의 선량분포를 보면 pass rate가 90% 가까이 나오는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 결 론: 위 결과를 토대로 MapPHAN은 상대등선량분포 감마값 측정에는 적합 하지만, 측방향 빔에 대한 gantry 방향의 의존성 때문에 절대선량은 정확한 측정을 할 수 없는 것으로 판단되어진다. 본 논문에서는 더욱 정확한 치료계획 확인을 위해서 VMAT 같은 회전조사시 측방향에 대한 오차를 줄이고 정확한 절대선량을 측정하기 위해서 MapCHEK 2와 IMF (Isocentric Mounting Fixture)의 조합을 사용하여 gantry 방향 의존성에 의한 영향을 최소화 할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

Out of a total of 58 species of helminthic and protozoan parasitic infections in Korea, so far 38 species were reported as intestinal parasites of man. Quite a few species of the intestinal parasitic infections have long been prevalent throughout the country and this has been a significant public health problem. In this paper, current status and transition of the intestinal parasitic infections in the past years were presented. Chronological reviewing of data show background and prospects of change in the prevalence of infections. In the national prevalence survey on parasitic infections conducted once every five years since 1971, stool examinations were done by both cellophane thick smear and brine flotation techniques. Every egg positive case of Ascaris lumbricoides and Clonorchis sinensis was further examined by Stoll's dilution egg counting technique. In 1981, perianal swab using adhesive cellulose tape was added for Enterobius infection. For protozoan cyst examination conducted by province and city in '81, fecal specimens were fixed in SAF solution and examined by the formalin-ether concentration technique. High prevalence of parasitic infection in ana before the 1960s can be easily understood from the data given by the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs in 1967. From a parasite control point of view, the 1960s was the preparatory period particularly for control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis. Several organizations which have contributed to parasite control were founded in this period and the prevention law of parasitic infections was passed in '66. In the '70s, overall prevalence rates of the common intestinal parasitic infections, which were highly prevalent in the past were turned into reduction phase for the first time. The '80s can be said to be an active control period of parasitic infections. Intestinal helminths According to the reports of the national prevalence survey on parasitic infections, the prevalence of helminthic infections was 84.3%(number of person examined:24,887) in '71, 63.2%(27,178) in '76, and 41.1%(35,018) in '81. By area, the prevalence rate in '81 was 35.1%(20,569) in urban areas and 49.6%(14,447) in rural areas. Intestinal nematodes Ascaris lumbricoides The prevalence of Ascaris infection has decreased significantly in recent years. Among students, the prevalence was 55.4%, in '69 and decreased to 4.7% in '83. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence decreased to 13.0% in '81 from 54.9% in '71. By area, the prevalence decreased to 8.5% in '81 from 46.4% in '71 in urban area and 19.4% in '81 from 59.6% in '71 in rural area. By age, the prevalence has become in recent years relatively even in all age groups, although higher prevalence used to be seen in young age groups of around 10 years old, particulary in the highly prevalent rural areas. By sex, the prevalence was higher in the female than in the male. Unfertilized egg positive rates among the ascariasis cases increased gradually up to 55.4% on the average in '81. The intensity of the infection was also significantly decreased. Trichuris trichiura Trichuris infection had also decreased to 23.4% in '81 from 65.4% in '71. By area, the decreasing tendency of the prevalence became faster in urban areas than in the rural areas. The prevalence in urban and rural areas in '71 was 69.7%, and 63.1% respectively and decreased to 19.5% and 29.0% respectively in '81. By age, the prevalence reached a peak at the 10-14 age group and showed relatively even distribution throughout all age groups. By sex, the prevalence was close in young age groups, but in the 30s or over age group, especially in rural area, the prevalence was significantly higher in the female than in the male. The prevalence has much fluctuated depending in the area. The prevalence in rural areas surveyed in the '80s shows a range between 20.9% and 73.7% by locality. It is anticipated that the prevalence of Trichuris infection will drop more rapidly, when mass treatment is conducted. Hookworms Hookworm infection by mostly Ancylostoma duodenale and a few by Necator americanus has decreased to a negligible levels in recent years. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence was 10.7% in '71, 2.2% in '76, and 0.5% in '81. The prevalence was higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Wide application of multi-specific anthelminthics in the ascariasis control programmes conducted in the past decade appear to have been effective against hookworm infection. Trichostrongylus orientalis As in the case with hookworm infection, the prevalence of Trichostrongylus infection has reached a negligible levels. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence was 7.7% in '71, 1.0% in '76 and 0.2% in '81. Enterobius vermicularis In the national prevalence survey in '81, the egg positive rate was 12.0%. Higher prevalence is expected when examined repeatedly. The prevalence rate was 10.3% in urban area and 14.6% in rural area. In recent surveys conducted in rural areas among schoolchildren, the prevalence was 32.4% in Gimhae Gun in '82 and 64.1% in Yeongyang Gun in '83. By age, the egg positive rate was higher in young age groups of around 10 and sharply decreased in age groups of around 20 and then somewhat increased again in middle age groups. By sex, the prevalence was higher in the female than in the male. Strongyloides stercoralis Strongyloides stercoralis infection has rarely been found in Korea. Three cases were reported in 1914. And 0.1-0.5% were found infected out of 2,642 persons examined at the prisoner-of-war camp on Geojedo in 1956. One case was reported in '54 and '82, respectively. Anisakis spp. No systematic survey has been conducted for anisakiasis In Korea. So far, only several cases have been found 1 case in Seoul in '71, 5 cases in Busan in '81 and 1 case in Busan in '84. Intestinal trematodes Metagonimus yokogawai In the national prevalence survey conducted in 1981, the egg positive rate was 1.24% on the average. High endemic areas are located in the southwestern part of Korea. The prevalence in Hadong Gun was 29.1% on the average in '79. In a survey conducted in 76, the prevalence was 44.0% in Gwangyang, 55.0% in Gogseung and 29.0% in Gurye. The infection is closely correlated with raw sweetfish consumption in these areas. Other intestinal trematodes A human case of Heterophyes heterophyes was reported in 1914. Several species were reported in the '80s : 17 cases of Fibricola seoulensis, 9 cases of Pygidiopsis summa, 8 cases of Heterophyes heterophyes nocens, 1case of Heterophyopsis continua, 2 cases of Stellantchasmus falcatus, 1 case of Stictodora sp., 1 case of Echinostoma hortense, and 4 cases of Echinochasmus japonicus. As the intermediate hosts, snakes and frogs play a role for F.seoulensis and fish for the rest of the species. Intestinal cestodes Taenia saginata and T. solium Egg positive rates in the national prevalence survey were 0.7% in '76 and 1.1% in '81. The prevalence in '81 was 0.6% in urban area and 1.8% in rural area. The proglottid positive rate in Jeju Do was 19.2% on the average. On Udo, Jeju Do in 1983, the egg positive rate among the inhabitants was 2.9%. Hymenolepis nana In the national prevalence survey, egg positive rates were 0.6% in '76 and 0.4% in '81. No difference was seen in the prevalence by area and sex. Hymenolepis diminuta Infected cases were reported : 3 in '64 and I in '66. Egg positive rate in '81 was 0.01% in the national prevalence survey. Diphylobothrium latum So far, about 30 cases have been reported. The cases have been reported more frequently in recent surveys. Mesocestoides sp. A case was reported from a hospitalized patient in Seoul in '67. Spirometra erinacei Two cases were reported in '84 following reidentification of the adult worms collected in '74. Intestinal protozoa Out of a total of 23 species of human protozoan infections in Korea, 13 species were reported as intestinal protozoa : Entamoeba histolytica, E coli, Endolimax nana, Iodamoeba b$\ddot{u}$tschlii, Dientamoeba fragilis, Giardia lamblia, Chilomastix mesnilii, Embadomonas sp., Enteromonas hominis, Trichomonas hominis, Isospora belli, I. Hominis(Sarcocystis hominis), and Balantidium coli. Since the first report on intestinal protozoan infections in 1925, there have been quite a few survey data on the prevalence of the infection. It was found reviewing the data chronologically that up to the early '70s the infection was prevalent around a 30-50%. After that, the protozoan cyst positive rate has shown the tendency of gradual decrease throughout the country. Protozoan cyst survey conducted in Seoul and several provinces in 1981 revealed infection rates of 8.9%(1,310) in Gangweondo, 10.7%(1,703) in Gyenggi Do, 11.7%(1,032) in Jeonra Buk Do, 9.1%(4,116) in Jeonra Nam Do, and 1.4%(5,275) in Seoul. Entamoeba histolytica In the survey conducted by province in '81, the cyst positive rate was 0.8% in Gangweon-do, 0.3% in Gyeonggi Do, 1.4% in both Jeonra Buk Do and Jeonra Nam Do, and 0.2% in Seoul. Giardia lamblia In the survey by province in '81, cyst positive rates were 2.2% in both Gyeonggi Do and Jeonra Buk Do, 1.9% in Jeonra Nam Do, 0.5% in Gangweon Do, and 0.9% in Seoul. Balantidium coli Two cases were reported. One in 1930 and the other in '74. Isospora belli and I. Hominis(Sarcocystis hominis) Isospora belli was reported : 1 case in '56 and 3 cases in '66. I. Hominis, recently identified to be synonymous with Sarcocystis hominis, was reported : 3 cases in '66. Other intestinal protozoa The protozoan parasites other than the above mentioned are generally treated as commensal, although some of them are considered to be pathogenic. The data of '81 show that about 10% of the inhabitants are still infected with protozoa.

This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

(표(表)7) 5) 이 시험(試驗)에서 공시(供試)한 벼의 엽면증발량(葉面蒸發量)이 최대(最大)로 되는 출수개화(出穗開花) 초기(初期)까지의 각품종(各品種)의 엽면증발량(葉面蒸發量)을 산정(算定)할 수 있는 수식(數式)은 다음과 같다. 조생종(早生種) ; Y=0.658+1.088x 중생종(中生種) : Y=0.780+1.050x 만생종(晩生種) : Y=0.646+1.091x 7) 논 에서의 주간수면증발량(株間水面蒸發量)은 그림-1, 2에서 보는바와 같이 엽면증발량(葉面蒸發量)과 고도(高度)의 부(負)의 상관관계(相關關係)가 있음을 알 수 있다. 8) 주간수엽증발량(株間水面蒸發量)은 증발계(蒸發計) 증발량(蒸發量)에 대(對)한 비(比)(표(表) 11)로 산정(算定)할 수도 있고 표(表)-10에 의거(依據)하던가 또는 주간수면증발량(株間水面蒸發量)이 최소(最少)로 되는 시기(時期)(조생종(早生種)은 이 시험(試驗)에 공시(供試)한 품종(品種)에 대(對)해서 다음 수식(數式)으로 산정(算定)할 수도 있다. 조생종(早生種) : Y=4.67-0.58x 중생종(中生種) ; Y=4.70-0.59x 만생종(晩生種) : Y=4.71-0.59x 9) 엽(葉), 수면증발량(水面蒸發量)의 생육기별(生育期別) 변화상황(變化狀況)은 엽면증발량(葉面蒸發量)의 그것과 그 경향(傾向)이 동일(同一)하며 조생종(早生種)은 제6기(第6期)에 중(中), 만생종(晩生種)은 제7기(第7期)에 최대(最大)로 된다. 10) 논 에서의 엽(葉), 수면증발량(水面蒸發量)은 표(表)-12에 의(依)하거나 증발산강도(蒸發散强度)(표(表)14)에 의(依)하여 산정(算定)할 수 있으며 엽(葉), 수면증발량(水面蒸發量)이 최대(最大)로 되는 시기(時期)까지의 양(量)은 이 시험(試驗)에서 공시(供試)한 품종(品種)에 대(對)해서 다음 수식(數式)으로 산정(算定)할 수 있다. 조생종(早生種) : Y=5.36+0.503x 중생종(中生種) : Y=5.41+0.456x 만생종(晩生種) : Y=5.80+0.494x 11) 전(全) 생육기간(生育期間)의 엽(葉), 수면증발량(水面蒸發量)의 증발계(蒸發計) 증발량(蒸發量)에 대(對)한 비(比)는 조생종(早生種)은 1.23, 중생종(中生種)은 1.25, 만생종(晩生種)은 1.27이었다. 12) 우리 나라의 기상조건하(氣象條件下)에서 무강우일(無降雨日)의 관측식(觀測植)만을 처리(處理)한 경우 벼 전생육간기(全生育間期)을 통(通)하 엽(葉), 수면증발량(水面蒸發量)과 제(諸) 기상요소(氣象要素)와의 관계(關係)는 기온(氣溫)만이 고도(高度)의 상관성(相關性)을 보여주고 있다. 2. 삼투량(渗透量) 1) 관개계획(灌漑計劃) 용수량산정(用水量算定)을 위한 삼투량(渗透量)은 보수일(保水日)에 의거(依據)함이 타당(妥當)하다고 본다. 3. 유효우량(有效雨量) 1) 벼생육기간중(生育期間中)의 각(各) 기별(期別) 유효우량(有效雨量)과 유효율(有效率)은 표(表) 18과 같다. 2) 벼의 전생육기간(全生育期間)의 유효율(有效率)은 $65{\sim}75%$를 기준(基準)으로 함이 타당(妥當)하다고 본다. 3) 평년(平年)의 벼의 전생육기간중(全生育期間中)의 유효우량(有效雨量)은 550mm 정도(程度)로 추정(推定)된다. 4. 벼의 엽면증발(葉面蒸發)이 삼투(渗透)에 미치는 영향(影響) 1) 벼뿌리의 흡수작용(吸水作用)은 삼투(渗透)에 영향(影響)을 미치며 그 작용(作用)이 왕성(旺盛)할수록 삼투량(渗透量)은 감소(減少)한다. (표(表) 21, 표(表) 22) 2) 벼를 재식(栽植)한 경우 그 생육기간중(生育期間中) 오전(午前) 및 후간(後間)과 오후(午後)와는 그 삼투량(渗透量)이 판이(判異)한 현상(現象)을 보이며 오전(午前)과 후간(後間)은 이식(移植)후 점증(漸增)하여 7월하순(月下旬) 또는 8월상순(月上旬)(수온(水溫), 지온(地溫)이 최고시기(最高時期)에 최대(最大)로 되고 그 이후(以後)는 감소(減少)하는데 대(對)해 오후(午後)는 정반대(正反對)로 이식후(移植後) 점차(漸次) 감소(減少)하여 8월(月) 중순(中旬)(수잉기(穗孕期)) 후기(後期)에서 출수개화초기(出穗開花初期)에 최소(最少)로되고 그 후 점증(漸增)한다. 3) 주간삼투량(晝間渗透量)은 이식후(移植後) 엽면증발량(葉面蒸發量)의 증가(增加)와 더부러 점차(漸次) 감소(減少)하지만 수잉기(穗孕期) 말기(末期)에서 출수개화(出穗開花) 초기(初期)에는 급감현상(急減現象)이 나타나고 8월(月) 하순(下旬)에는 다시 급증(急增)하고 9월(月) 중순(中旬)은 9월(月) 상순(上旬)보다 지온(地溫)이나 수온(水溫)이 낮은 데도 불구(不拘)하고 삼투량(渗透量)은 오히려 증가(增加)하는데 이는 9월중순(月中旬)에 이르면 벼뿌리의 흡수작용(吸水作用)이 크게 감퇴(減退)함에 기인(起因)하는 것으로 추정(推定)된다. 4) 일(日) 삼투량(渗透量)의 생육기간중(生育期間中)의 변화상황(變化狀況)을 보면 이식후(移植後) 점증(漸增)하여 7월하순(月下旬)에 최대(最大)로 되고 그 이후(以後) 감소(減少)하였다가 8월하순(月下旬)(등숙기(登熟期))에 다시 증가(增加)하고 그 후 다시 감소(減少)하는 다소(多少) 변동(變動)이 심(甚)한 현상(現象을 보여주고 있는데 이는 수온(水溫)이나 지온(地溫)의 영향(影響(야간(夜間), 오전(午前))과 아울러 벼뿌리의 흡수작용(吸收作用)이 복합적(複合的)으로 영향(影響)을 미치는 결과(結果)라고 본다. 5) 주간삼투량(晝間渗透量)은 엽면증발량(葉面蒸發量)과 부(負)의 고도(高度)의 상관성(相關性)을 인정(認定)할 수 있다. 야간삼투량(夜間渗透量)은 수온(水溫)이나 지온(地溫)의 영향(影響)이 지배적(支配的)이고 엽면증발(葉面蒸發)의 영향(影響)은 거의 없으며 일(日) 삼투량(渗透量)은 엽면증발(葉面蒸發)보다 그 이외(以外)의 요인(要因)의 영향(影響)이 보다 큰 것으로 생각된다. 6) 야간삼투량(夜間渗透量)과 수온(水溫)이나 지온간(地溫間)에는 고도(高度)의 정(正)의 상관성(相關性)이 인정(認定)되는데 대(對)해 오전(午前)과 오후(午後)의 삼투량(渗透量)과 수온(水溫)이나 지온간(地溫間)에는 상당성(相當性)을 인정(認定)할 수 없다. 7) 벼를 재식(栽植)한 포트의 일(日) 침투량(浸透量)과 재치(裁値)하지 않는 포트에서의 일삼투량간(日渗透量間)에는 $r={\div}0.8382$란 고도(高度)의 상관성(相關性)을 인정(認定)할 수 있다. 8) 벼의 전생육기간(全生育期間)을 통(通)한 총삼투량(總渗透量)은 벼의 엽면증발(葉面蒸發)에 의(依)한 영향(影響)보다는 토양고유(土壤固有)의 삼투성(渗透性)이나 수온(水溫), 지온(地溫)등 벼뿌리의 흡수작용(吸收作用) 이외(以外)의 다른 요인(要因)들이 보다 더 영향(影響)을 미친다고 여겨진다.

본연구는 1972년에 수원에서 그리고 1973년에는 다시 수원, 매리 및 이리 광주의 3개 지역에서 경질 소맥인 NB 68513, Caprock와 중간질 소맥인 영광, 연질 소맥인 수계 169호를 공시하여 시비량 및 재배시기를 각각 3수준의 처리를 두어 등숙 및 품질의 변화에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 한편 1973년 및 1974년에는 수원에서 중간질 소맥인 영광과 경질 소맥인 NB 68513을 공시하고 온실에서 온도, 습도 및 일사량을 달리하여 이들이 소맥의 등숙과 품질에 미치는 영향을 추구하였으며, 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 소맥립의 등숙: 1) 1립중의 변이폭은 대립종이 소립종에 비하여 크고, 립중별 소맥립의 분포는 대립종이 평균치에 가까이 분포된 율이 높았고, 소립종은 넓은 분산을 보였다. 2) 립중의 증가에 미치는 립장, 립후 및 립폭의 영향의 정도는 립장보다 립후와 립폭이 컸다. 3) 등숙 시기별 립중의 변화에 있어서 영광은 개화후 14일부터 35일까지, NB 68513은 14일부터 28일까지에 급증하였고, 대립종인 영광은 소립종인 NB68513에 비하여 등숙기간이 길었으며 배란비율도 완만한 증가를 보였다. 4) 1000립중은 대체로 저온에서보다 고온에서, 다습보다 건조한 공중습도 조건에서 가벼웠고, 저온이나 고온에서라도 다습 조건하에서는 무거운 경향을 보였다. 또한 서광의 영향은 저온에서보다 고온에서 컸으며, 다습한 경우에는 일정한 경향이 없었다. 5) 등숙기간중 온도, 습도 및 서광의 영향은 소립종인 NB 68513보다 대립종인 영광에서 컸으며, 1000립중의 증감과 등숙일수 간에는 높은 정의 상관이 있었다. 6) 1000립중과 1$\ell$중은 시비량의 증가에 따라 무거워졌으나, 보비와 다비구간에는 그 증가율이 비교적 낮았고, 조숙재배는 만파재배보다 무거웠으며, 이와 같은 경향은 수원에서 현저하였고 광주 및 이리에서는 미미하였다. 2. 제분성: 7) 동일 품종에서 1000립중이 무겁게 나타난 저온다습 조건 및 조숙재배가 고온, 건조, 조건 및 만파재배에 비하여 제분율이 높았고, 지역간 차이는 일정한 경향이 없었다. 8) 제분율은 영광이 가장 높고 수계 169호가 가장 낮았으며, 경질 소립종인 Caprock, NB 68513은 연질 소립종인 수계 169호보다 높았다. 9) 회분 함량은 지역, 시비량 및 재배시기에 따른 차이는 작았고, 품종간 차이는 컸으며, NB 68513 및 Caprock는 영광 및 수계 169호보다 현저히 높았다. 3. 단백질 함량: 10) 단백질 함량은 1000립중이 가벼웠든 고온, 건조 및 서광 조건에서 저온, 다습 조건에서보다 높았으며, 이러한 경향은 영광에서 현저하고 NB 68513에서 적었다. 11) 종질의 단백질 함량은 개화후 1~2주일 사이에 높았는데, 이는 배란에 대한 배와 종피의 비율이 크기 때문이었고, 등숙이 진전됨에 따라 배, 종피의 영향은 감소되며, 달서 단백질 함량도 감소되었으나 개화후 3~4주부터는 다시 단백질함량이 증가되어 개화후 7주에 최대에 달하였다. 등숙 중기(개화후 3~4주) 이후의 단백질함량 증가는 대체로 1000립중의 증가와 비슷하였으나, 성숙된 종실의 단백질 함량의 증감은 등숙기간의 장단의 영향보다는 역일상에 따른 기상적 환경, 특히 기온에 의한 영향을 많이 받은 것으로 보였다. 12) 소맥분의 단백질 함량은 종실의 단백질 함량의 변화와 같아서 이 양자간에는 높은 정의 상관이 있었다. 13) 단백질 함량은 각 품종 모두 시비량이 증가할수록, 또 재배시기가 늦어질수록 증가하는 경향이었고, 수원에서는 광주, 이리에서보다 그 경향이 현저하였다. 14) 품종별로 존 단백질 함량은 영광, NB 68513 및 Caprock은 비슷하였으며 비교적 높았고, 수계 169호는 낮았는데 이 품종은 재배법에 따른 단백질 함량의 변이도 적었다. 15) 단위 면적당 단백질 수량은 시비량이 많을수록, 재배시기가 빠를수록 높은 경향이었고, 조숙재배에서는 질소질 비료의 이용율이 높았으며, 영광은 시비량 증가에 따른 단백질 수량 증가가 비교적 컸다. 4. 분의 물리화학적 특성: 16) Sedimentation value는 저온, 다습, 소비 조건에서보다 고온, 건조, 다비 조건에서 컸고, NB 68513 및 Caprock는 그 경향이 현저하였는데 영광 및 수계 169호는 뚜렷하지 않았었고, 광주, 이리보다는 수원에서 Sedimentation value의 변이가 컸다. Sedimentation value의 증감은 단백질 함량의 증감과 관계가 깊으나, 다습조건에서는 Sedimentation value가 감소되었다. 한편 Sedimentation value는 단백질 함량의 증가에 따라 증가되었으며, 성숙기에 최대에 달하였다. 17) Pelshenke value는 재배방법 및 지역 간의 차이가 Sedimentation value의 경우와 대체로 같은 경향을 보였다. 18) Mixing time은 NB 68513이 4~6분, Caprock가 5~7분 소요되었으며, 영광 및 수계 169호는 NB 68513 및 Caprock보다 지역 및 재배법에 따른 변이가 컸다. Mixing height와 Mixing area는 NB 68513 및 Caprock에서 컸고 영광 및 수계 169호에서는 작았으며, 재배방법에 따른 변이는 일정한 경향이 없었고, 지역에 따른 차이는 이리, 광주에서 낮고 수원에서 높았다. 19) NB 68513 및 Caprock의 품질에 있어서 제분성은 고온, 건조 조건, 또는 다비, 만파재배에서 떨어졌으나 분의 물리화학적 특성은 양호하여 제빵 적성이 좋고, 조숙재배는 물리화학적 특성이 다소 불량하였으나 제분성이 높고 단위 면적당 단백질 수량인 높은 경향이었다. 지역간에서 보면 이리, 광주보다는 수원이 NB 68513 및 Caprock의 재배에 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 5. 분의 물리화학적 특성의 상호관계: 20) 제분율 및 회분함량과 분의 물리화학적 특성과는 직접적인 상관이 없었으며, 1000립중이 가벼운 것이 단백질 함량이 높았고 분의 물리화학적 특성도 양호하였다. 21) NB 68513 및 Caprock에 있어서 단백질 함량과 Sedimentation value, Pelshenke value 및 mixing height와는 정의 상관이 있었으며, 단백질 함량이 높으면 분의 Gluten strength도 강하고 따라서 제빵 적성도 양호하였다. 영광 및 수계 169호에 있어서는 단백질 함량과 Sedimentation value와는 정의 상관이 있으나 Pelshenke value와 Mixing height와는 상관이 없었다. 따라서 단백질 함량 증가에 따라 Gluten strength 양자와 연결됨이 크고, Pelshenke value와 Mixogram은 Gluten strength와 연관됨으로 경질과 연질의 품종 구분에는 Mixogram, Pelshenke value의 검정이 유리하고, Sedimentation valuer검정은 같은 품종내에서 재배법 차이에 따른 품질 평가에 알맞은 것으로 보았다.
