1990년 1월부터 1992년 12월까지 서울대학교병원 소아과 및 소아외과에 황달을 주소로 입원하여 원인이 규명되었던 70명의 환아들에서 $^{99m}Tc$-DISIDA 신티그라피와 초음파검사를 실시하여 다음과 같은 성적을 얻었다. 1) 선천성 담도폐쇄증 30명 전예에서 소장방사능이 관찰되지 않았고 신생아간염 40명 중 31예에서 소장 방사능이 관찰되어 소장방사능의 유무에 따른 선천성 담도폐쇄증의 진단은 예민도 100% 특이도 78%, 정확도는 87%이었다. 2) 소장방사능이 관찰되지 않았던 환아에서 간정체 지표는 선천성 담토폐쇄증 16예가 $1.5{\pm}0.6$으로 신생아간염 7예의 $1.2{\pm}0.2$보다 높았고(p<0.05), 신생아간염의 간정체지표의 2표준편차 상한값인 1.5보다 높은 간정체지표를 보인 경우는 7예로 모두 선천성 담도폐쇄증이었다. 그러나 간정체지표가 1.5 이하인 16명중 9예는 선천성 담도폐쇄증, 7예는 신생아간염으로 이들에서는 간정체지표로 구별되지 않았다. 3) 간기능장애를 나타내는 요소를 분석하였을 때 간섭취도는 선천성 담도폐쇄증과 신생아간염에서 유의한 차이가 없었다. 연령과 간섭취지표는 일정한 상관관계가 없었고 총 빌리루빈치와 간섭취지표는 간섭취도가 정상인 환아의 총빌리루빈치가 상대적으로 낮다는 소견 이외에는 일정한 상관관계가 없었다. 신생아간염에서 소장방사능이 보이는 31예의 연령이 $2.1{\pm}0.7$ 개월로 보이지 않는 9예의 연령평균 $1.7{\pm}0.5$개월 보다 많았다(P<0.01). 4) 간섭취지표와 간정체지표와의 관계는, 간섭취지표가 높을 때 즉 간기능 저하가 심할 때 간정체지표가 높으면 즉 간섭취에이은 간정체가 일정이상 수준이면 신생아간염보다 선천성 담도폐쇄증일 가능성이 높았다. 이상의 결과로 연령이 증가하면 선천성 담도폐쇄증환아의 간기능이상은 진행하지만 신생아간염환아의 간기능장애의 정도는 연령과 무관하여, 간섭취지표로 기능을 평가하고 간정체지표로 판독하면 선천성 담도폐쇄증을 감별할 수 있다고 생각하였다. 그러나 간기능저하가 가볍고 간정체지표가 좋지 않을 때에는 역시 구별되지 않아 다른 검사결과를 참조한 임상판단에 의존하여야 할 것이며 수술적 간담도 조영술의 대상 예로 삼아야 한다고 생각하였다. 이 연구의 결과를 통하여 신생아에서 발생하는 황달의 원인을 규명하는데, $^{99m}Tc$-DISIDA 신티그라피가 유용한 검사법이며, 소장방사능이 관찰되지 않는 경우에는 간정체지표와 간섭취지표와의 관계를 고려하여 간섭취지표보다 간정체지표가 상대적으로 좋을 경우 선천성 담도폐쇄증의 가능성이 높아 감별에 도움되는 소견으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각하였다.

목 적: 수면 장애는 자율신경계의 변화를 유발하여 심혈관계에 영향을 준다. 일차성 불면증(primary insomnia, 이하 PI)은 수면부족 및 각성으로, 폐쇄성 수면무호흡 증후군(obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, 이하 OSAS)은 수면 중 빈번한 각성, 저산소증 등으로 교감신경계 항진을 유발한다. 이에 OSAS와 PI 사이에서 심박동률 변이도(heart rate variability, 이하 HRV) 분석을 통해 자율신경계의 변화 정도를 비교하고자 하였다. 방 법: 임상병력 및 야간수면다원검사(nocturnal polysomnography, 이하 NPSG)로 선택된 PI와 OSAS 전체 315 명의 대상자 중 OSAS는 무호흡-저호흡 지수(apnea-hypopnea index, 이하 AHI)에 따라서 경도, 중등도, 중증도 OSAS로 분류하여 PI를 포함하여 4개의 군으로 분류되었다. 이후 연령, 성별, 군간 개체수를 고려하여 최종적으로 110명의 대상자가 선택되었고, PI군(평균나이 41.50, 표준편차 13.16, AHI <5, n=20), 경도 OSAS군(평균나이 43.67, 표준편차 12.11, AHI 5~15, n=30), 중등도 OSAS군(평균나이 44.93, 표준편차 12.38, AHI 16~30, n=30), 중증도 OSAS군(평균 나이 45.87, 표준편차 12.44, AHI >30, n=30)의 4개 군으로 나누었다. 이후 NPSG를 통해 얻은 각 군의 HRV 지수 비교를 위하여 연령과 체질량지수(body weight index, BMI)를 공변량으로 하여 공분산분석(analysis of covariance, ANCOVA)를 실시한 후 사후분석으로 Sidak test를 실시하였다. 결 과: HRV 지수의 비교 결과 PI군과 경도, 중등도의 OSAS군 간에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 그러나 PI군과 중증도 OSAS군 사이에는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 군간비교에서 통계적으로 가장 현저한 차이를 보인 PI군과 중증도 OSAS군에서 HRV 지수 중 통계적으로 의미 있는 각각의 값은 다음과 같았다. Average RR interval은 $991.1{\pm}27.1$과 $875.8{\pm}22.0$ ms(p=0.016), standard deviation of NN interval(SDNN)은 $85.4{\pm}6.6$과 $112.8{\pm}5.4$ ms(p=0.022), SDNN index는 $57.5{\pm}5.2$과 $87.6{\pm}4.2$(p<0.001), total power는 $11893.5{\pm}1359.9$과 $8097.0{\pm}1107.2ms^2$(p=0.008), very low frequency(VLF)는 $7534.8{\pm}1120.1$과 $11883.8{\pm}912.0ms^2$(p=0.035), low frequency(LF)는 $2724.2{\pm}327.8$과 $4351.6{\pm}266.9ms^2$였다(p=0.003). 결 론: 본 연구에서는 PI군에 비해 중증도의 OSAS군에서 HRV 지수 중 교감신경계의 영향을 많이 받는 VLF, LF 등이 상승하는 양상을 보였고, 이를 통해 PI에 비해 중증도의 OSAS가 교감신경계 활동증가에 보다 더 큰 영향을 끼치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

목 적: 소아 만성 B형 간염 환아에서 알파 인터페론의 치료 효과는 보고자마다 차이가 있으나 30~40%로 알려져 있다. 그러나 만성 지속성 B형 간염, 혈청 ALT치가 낮은 경우나 혈청 HBV DNA치가 높은 소아 만성 B형 간염 환자에서 알파 인터페론 단독 투여 시 그 치료 효과는 더 낮다고 보고되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 알파 인터페론 단독 투여 시 치료 효과가 낮다고 알려진 소아 만성 B형간염 환자에 prednisolone 이탈 요법 후 인터페론 병용 투여 시 그 치료 효과를 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년 1월부터 1997년 12월까지 전남대학교병원 소아과에 내원하여 만성 B형 간염으로 진단받은 28명을 대상으로 하였다. 대상 환아 중 간 조직 검사 상 만성 활동성 간염을 보이고 혈청 ALT치가 100 IU/L 이상이고 혈청 HBV-DNA치가 100 pg/$300\;{\mu}L$ 미만인 14명(group 1)은 알파 인터페론을 체표면적($m^2$) 당 5백만 단위를 6개월 동안 주 3회 단독 투여하였다. 조직 검사 상 만성 지속성 간염인 경우와 만성 활동성 간염이면서 혈청ALT치가 100 IU/L 미만 또는 혈청 HBV DNA치가 100 pg/$300\;{\mu}L$ 초과한 14명(group 2)은 prednisolone을 60 mg/$m^2$, 40 mg/$m^2$, 20 mg/$m^2$으로 각각 2주씩 6주간 경구 투여하고 2주간 휴약 기간을 가진 후 알파 인터페론을 group 1과 같은 방법으로 투여하였다. 치료에 대한 반응은 인터페론 투여가 종료되는 시점에서 완전반응(항 HBe 항체의 양전화, 혈청 ALT 정상화 및 혈청 HBV-DNA 음성), 부분반응(혈청 ALT 정상화 또는 혈청 HBV-DNA 음성) 및 무반응으로 평가하였다. 결 과: 1) 대상 환아의 평균 연령은 130.6개월(21~192개월)이었고, 남아는 22례, 여아는 6례이었다. 만성 지속성 간염은 11례, 만성 활동성 간염은 17례이었고, 15명의 환아에서 모친이 B형 간염 바이러스 만성 보유자이었다. 2) Group 1에서 평균 연령은 144.1개월(97~169개월), 남아 9명, 여아 5명, 혈청 ALT $299.9{\pm}215.3$ IU/L, HBV-DNA $49.3{\pm}33.1\;pg/300\;{\mu}L$이었고, group 2에서 평균 연령은 112.1개월(21~192개월), 남아 13명, 여아 1명, 만성 지속성 간염 11명, 만성 활동성 간염 3명, 혈청 ALT $85.6{\pm}71.0$ IU/L, HBVDNA $524.3{\pm}1064\;pg/300\;{\mu}L$이었다. 3) Group 1에서 항 HBe 항체 양전은 10례(71.4%) 에서, 혈청 ALT는 9례(64.3%)에서 정상화되었고, HBV-DNA는 11례(78.6%)에서 음성화되었다. Group 2에서 항 HBe 항체 양전은 7례(50.0%)에서, 비정상 수치를 보인 9명의 환아 중 5명(55.6%)이 ALT 의 정상화를 보였고, HBV-DNA는 9례(64.3%)에서 음성화되었다. 두 군간의 항 HBe 항체의 양전율, ALT치의 정상화율, HBV DNA치의 음성화율에 있어서 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 4) Group 1에서 완전반응은 8례(57.1%), 부분반응은 3례(21.4%), 무반응은 3례(21.4%)이었고, group 2 에서는 완전반응 7례(50.0%), 부분반응 2례(14.3%), 무반응 5례(35.7%)으로 두 군간의 통계학적 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론: 소아 만성 B형 간염에 대한 치료로 인터페론 단독 요법으로 반응이 좋지 않을 것으로 예측되는 환자군에 스테로이드 이탈 요법 후 인터페론 병합 투여는 안전하고 효과적인 치료법으로 생각된다. 향후 치료 효과의 지속 여부에 대한 지속적인 관찰과 더 많은 환자를 대상으로 한 전향적인 비교 연구가 필요하리라 사료된다.

지식베이스를 구축하는 작업은 도메인 전문가가 온톨로지 스키마를 이해한 뒤, 직접 지식을 정제하는 수작업이 요구되는 만큼 비용이 많이 드는 활동이다. 이에, 도메인 전문가 없이 다양한 웹 환경으로부터 질의에 대한 답변 정보를 추출하기 위한 자동화된 시스템의 연구개발의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 기존의 정보 추출 관련 연구들은 웹에 존재하는 다양한 형태의 문서 중 학습데이터와 상이한 형태의 문서에서는 정보를 효과적으로 추출하기 어렵다는 한계점이 존재한다. 또한, 기계 독해와 관련된 연구들은 문서에 정답이 있는 경우를 가정하고 질의에 대한 답변정보를 추출하는 경우로서, 문서의 정답포함 여부를 보장할 수 없는 실제 웹의 비정형 문서로부터의 정보추출에서는 낮은 성능을 보인다는 한계점이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 지식베이스 확장을 위하여 웹에 존재하는 멀티소스 비정형 문서로부터 질의에 대한 정보를 추출하기 위한 시스템의 개발 방법론을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법론은 "주어(Subject)-서술어(Predicate)"로 구분된 질의에 대하여 위키피디아, 네이버 백과사전, 네이버 뉴스 3개 웹 소스로부터 수집된 비정형 문서로부터 관련 정보를 추출하며, 제안된 방법론을 적용한 시스템의 성능평가를 위하여, Wu and Weld(2007)의 모델을 베이스라인 모델로 선정하여 성능을 비교분석 하였다. 연구결과 제안된 모델이 베이스라인 모델에 비해, 위키피디아, 네이버 백과사전, 네이버 뉴스 등 다양한 형태의 문서에서 정보를 효과적으로 추출하는 강건한 모델임을 입증하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 현업 지식베이스 관리자에게 지식베이스 확장을 위한 웹에서 질의에 대한 답변정보를 추출하기 위한 시스템 개발의 지침서로서 실무적인 시사점을 제공함과 동시에, 추후 다양한 형태의 질의응답 시스템 및 정보추출 연구로의 확장에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

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

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

식욕에 부합되는 적정양의 먹이 섭취는 잉어의 성장을 증가시키고, 동시에 먹이의 허비를 막으며, 그로 인해서 사육수질의 오염을 막는 부수적인 효과도 가지게 된다. 이 목적을 달성하기 위하여 식욕 유발과 그에 따른 빠른 성장의 중요한 요인으로서 용존산소에 관한 정밀한 연구가 필요하다. 수온 $25^{\circ}C$ 하에서 잉어(이스라엘계)의 미성어, 67g, 200g, 400g, 600g 및 800g 되는 실험군으로서, 용존산소를 2.0-6mg/$\iota$ 사이에서 사료를 체중의 $1\%$부터 먹을 수 있는 양까지에 걸쳐서 사육실험연구를 하였다. 어체가 작을수록 동일한 용존산소 조건에서는 보다 높은 식욕과 보다 많은 먹이 섭취량을 나타내었다. 어체가 클수록 낮은 용존산소양에서는 생활 능력이 약해지고, 먹이 섭취량이 증가하면 내성은 더욱 줄어졌다. 성장률(일간 성장률)은 낮은 용존산소에 의해서 영향을 받지 않는 한, 먹이의 섭취량이 많을수록 증가하였다. 최고성장률은 67 g 어에서는 D.O. 5.0 mg/$\iota$에서 1일 먹이 량이 체중의 $7\%$ 일때 일간성장률 $\5.05%$였고, 200g 어에서는 D.O. 5.5/$\iota$ 에서 먹이량 $6\%$일때 1일 성장률이 $3.75\%$였다. 400g 어에서는 D.O. 6.0 mg/$\iota$에서 먹이량이 $5\%$ 일때 1일 성장률 $3.37\%$ 였으며, 600g 어에서는 D.O. 5.5 mg/$\iota$에서 먹이량이 1일 $4\%$였을 때 1일 성장률 $2.82\%$였다. 800g 어에서는 D.O. 5.0mg/$\iota$에서 먹이량이 1일 $3\%$었을 때 1일 성장율이 $1.95\%$였다. 정상적인 생활 및 성장 기능발휘 가능 D.O. 농도로부터 최고 먹이 섭취가능양에 부합되는 D.O. 농도까지 사이에서 먹이 전환효율(사료가 어체로 바뀌는 효율)은 처음 D.O.가 증가함에 따라 높아지고, 최고치에 이른 뒤, D.O.가 더욱 더 높아짐 에 따라 먹이 전환효율은 다시 감소하기 시작한다. 이 최고 사료효율은 작은 어체에서는 큰 어체 보다 높은 먹이 섭취량에서 나타난다 (물론 먹이 섭취량에 부응하는 D.O.량이 갖춰졌을때). 즉 최고 먹이 전환효율은 67g 어에서 D.O. 3.0-4.0 mg/$\iota$에서 먹이 섭취량 $4\%$때 였으며, 200g 어에서는 D.O. 3.0-4.5mg/$\iota$에서 먹이 섭취량 $3\%$때였고, 400 g 어에서는 D.O. 4.0-4.5mg/$\iota$에서 먹이 섭취량 $2\%$때였다. 600g 및 800 g 어에서는 가장 낮은 D.O.에서 먹이 섭취량 $1\%$ 때였다. 적절하지 못한 낮은 D.O. 함량에서는 정상적인 조건하의 개체보다 먹이 섭취량이 감소하며, 또 먹이가 소화관을 빨리 통과하고, 똥의 양이 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그리고, 견디지 못할 만큼 낮은 D.O.하에서는 먹이를 토하고, 체색이 옅은 황색으로 변하거나, 또는 회색의 얼국진 반점으로 변하기도 했다. 이 모든 현상들이 먹이 전환효율의 감소로 이어졌다. 반면에 아주 높은 D.O.하에서는 강한 활동을 하였으며, 어체 크기가 같고 먹이의 양도 같았지만 D.O.가 약간 낮은 상에 비교하여 먹이 전환효율이 떨어지는 경향이 나타났다. 모든 크기에서 먹이량을 체중의 $1\%$만 주었을 때는 D.O. 량이 2.0-2.5mg/$\iota$ 이면 적절하였다. 먹이량을 증가시키면 어체의 정상활동을 유지시키기 위하여 보다 높은 D.O.가 필요하였다. 67g 어에서는 D.O. 2.0-2.5mg/$\iota$이면 체중의 $2\%$이상 먹이량을 충분히 지탱할 수 있었으나, 먹이를 $5\%$로 증가시키면 D.O. 3.0-4.0 mg/$\iota$일 때 식욕이 보다 왕성하고 높은 성장을 가져 왔다. 먹이량이 $5-7\%$에서는 4.0 mg/$\iota$ 이상의 D.O.라야 식욕을 유지시킬수 있다. 200g 어에서는 먹이량이 체중의 $2-3\%$ 일때는 D.O. 3.5-4.5mg/$\iota$에서 가장 높은 성장률을 보였으나 먹이량이 체중의 $3-6\%$로 올라가면 D.O. 함량이 4.5mg/$\iota$을 넘어서야만 어류의 생활기능 발휘에 부응될 수 있었다. 400 g, 600 g 및 800 g 어에서는 먹이량이 체중의 $2\%$를 넘을 때는 ($4\%$ 및 $5\%$까지 실험) 모두 D.O. 함량이 4.5 mg/$\iota$를 넘어야 했다.

1. 목적 성조숙증은 2차성징의 발달이 여아에서는 8세 이전 남아에선 9세 이전에 조기 2차성징이 출현하는 증상으로 골단의 조기 폐쇄를 일으켜 결국 최종 성인 신장의 감소를 가져오는 질환이다. 본 연구는 성조숙증으로 내원한 여아들의 GnRH(Gonado-tropin-releasing Hormone) 자극검사 결과와 의무기록을 후향 분석하여 진단별 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 2. 방법 2015년 2월부터 2015년 12월까지 분당서울대병원 소아청소년 내분비내과를 내원한 여아 118명을 대상으로 하였다. 의무기록을 후향 분석하여 대상 환아들은 진성 성조숙증(true precocious puberty) 57명, 조기사춘기(early puberty) 39명, 유방 조기발육군(premature thelarche) 22명을 진단별로 분류하였다. 진단 당시의 신장, 체중, Tanner stage, 골연령, 역연령, 부모의 키, GnRH 검사에서 LH, FSH와 E2 (Estradiol) Basal 값도 함께 조사하였다. 성선 자극호르몬 결과값 LH (Basal,30min,45min,60min) FSH(Basal,30min,60min)을 비교하여 각 그룹별 LH, FSH Peak치 분포도와 LH 최고치/LH 기저치 비율에 대한 평균${\pm}$표준편차와 LH 최고치/FSH 최고치 비율에 대한 평균${\pm}$표준편차를 비교하여 각 3그룹 간 유의확률(P-value) 값을 구하였다. 골연령의 측정은 Greulich-Pyle법(왼쪽 수근골 X선 사진을 촬영하여 골성숙도를 평가하는 방법- 6개월 단위의 표준손목사진을 보고 비교해서 골연령을 유추하는 방식)을 이용한 소아 청소년 내분비내과 교수가 직접 판독한 결과로 사용하였고 GnRH 검사는 합성 LHRH 100 ug을 정맥 주사하여 LH는 Basal, 30분, 45분,60분 후에 채혈된 결과값과 FSH는 Basal, 30분, 60분후에 채혈된 결과값을 조사하였다. 3. 결과 진성성조숙증그룹의 평균 키는$131{\pm}14.85$, 평균체중은 $8.80{\pm}4.93$, 평균역연령은 $7.1{\pm}0.81$, 평균 골연령은 $9.9{\pm}0.9$, 조기사춘기 그룹의 평균키는 $134{\pm}5.10$, 평균체중은 $28.50{\pm}4.43$, 평균역연령은 $8.05{\pm}0.03$, 평균 골연령은 $10.0{\pm}0.62$, 유방조기발육군의 평균 키는 $129{\pm}6,01$ 평균체중은 $28.65{\pm}5.98$, 평균역연령은 $7.02{\pm}0.58$ 평균 골연령은 $8.04{\pm}1.29$로 세 그룹간에 키와 체중 비교 시 유의한 차이가 없었고 역연령(P < 0.0001), 골연령( P< 0.0001), 골연령과 역연령과의 차이(P < 0.0002 )에서는 그룹간 유의한 차이가 있었다. 각 그룹별 LH, FSH Peak치 분포도 비교시 진성성조숙증 그룹은 LH 30분-82.5%, 45분-12.3%, 60분-5.3%, FSH 30분-8.8%, 60분-91.2%로 높은 Peak치를 보였고 조기사춘기 그룹은 LH 30분-79.5%, 45분-17.9%, 60분-2.6%, FSH 30분-7.7%, 60분 -92.32%로 높은 Peak치를 나타내었다. 유방조기 발육군 그룹에서는 LH 30분-30%, 45분-59%, 60분-9.09%, FSH 30분 -0%, 60분-100%로 Peak치를 나타내었다. LH Peak/LH basal ratio 비교시 진성성조숙증 그룹은 $19.09{\pm}17.15$, 조기사춘기 그룹은 $15.23{\pm}10.88$ 유방조기 발육군 그룹은 $4.93{\pm}4.36$으로 3 그룹간 유의한 차이를 보였다(P < 0.0001). LH Peak/FSH Peak ratio 비교시 진성성조숙증 그룹은 $1.222{\pm}0.77$, 조기사춘기 그룹은 $1.34{\pm}1.23$ 유방조기 발육군 그룹은 $0.3{\pm}0.09$로 3 그룹간 유의한 차이(P < 0.0001)를 보였다. 4. 결론 여아들의 진성성조숙증을 진단하기 위한 GnRH Test 검사는 자극 후 30분과 60분 사이에 LH 최고치가 기저치에 비해 2~3배 이상 증가 되어 있거나 또는 5~10 IU/L 이상 증가되었을 때 유용한 판정 자료로 이용 될 수 있는 핵의학 연속검사라고 사료되어진다.
