본 연구에서는 다양한 약리적 효능에도 불구하고 현재 한정된 범위의 가공식품의 재료로 쓰이는 모과의 이용성을 증진시키고자하는 방안으로 모과잼을 제조해 보고자 혼합물 실험계획법으로(mixture design) 중 D-optimal design을 이용하였다. 실험에 사용한 모과의 수용성 펙틴 함량을 측정한 결과 4.32 mg/g이었다. 이는 잼을 만들기에는 적당하지 않은 수용성 펙틴 함량이므로 모과잼을 만들기 위해서는 펙틴을 첨가할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 잼 품질에 가장 영향을 미치는 모과, 펙틴과 설탕 첨가량을 독립변수로 설정하였고, 예비실험을 거쳐 모과 페이스트 $45{\sim}60%$, 펙틴 $1.5{\sim}4.5%$, 설탕 $45.5{\sim}63.5%$의 범위로 결정하였다. 14개의 실험 결과를 모델링화 하여 F-test를 통해 유의성을 검증한 결과 당도($^{\circ}Brix$), pH, 명도, 황색도, 총색차, 견고성은 각각의 인자들이 독립적으로 작용을 하는 linear 모델이, 퍼짐성, 적색도, 관능검사의 모든 항목에서는 각각의 인자들이 서로 교호작용을 하는 quadratic 모델이 결정되었다. 모델의 적합성을 분석한 결과 모든 항목에서 유의성을 보여주어 모델로서 적합함이 인정되었다. 반응표면과 trace plot의 결과 모과 페이스트 첨가량이 적고 설탕 첨가량이 많을수록 당도($^{\circ}Brix$)와 총색차는 증가하였고, 모과 페이스트와 펙틴의 첨가량이 많고 설탕 첨가량이 적을수록 원재료의 pH에 영향을 받아 pH는 낮아졌다. 퍼짐성과 견고성의 경우 모과 페이스트와 펙틴의 영향을 많이 받은 것으로 나타났다. 색도 중 명도와 적색도의 경우 모과 페이스트 첨가량이 많고 설탕 첨가량이 적을 수록 모과잼의 색이 밝고 붉은 것으로, 모과 페이스트와 설탕의 첨가량이 많을수록 황색도가 증가해 잼의 색이 노란 것으로 나타났다. 관능검사 결과에서는 모과 페이스트, 펙틴, 설탕을 적거나 많이 첨가할 경우에는 오히려 낮은 점수를 받았고, 모과 페이스트와 펙틴의 상호작용이 가장 크게 작용한 것으로 나타났다. 모과잼의 재료 혼합비의 최적화는 수치적 최적화와 모형적 최적화 결과를 통해 모과 페이스트 54.48%, 펙틴 2.45%, 설탕 53.07%로 결정되었고, 이 재료 배합비로 모과잼을 제조할 경우 모과의 이용성 향상과 모과잼의 산업화가 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 약리적효능에도 불구하고 현재 한정된 범위의 가공식품의 재료로 쓰이는 모과의 이용성을 증진시키고자하는 방안으로 모과잼을 제조하기 위하여 혼합물 실험계획법으로 최적의 재료 혼합비율을 찾아 고품질의 모과잼을 개발하고자 하였다.

무우품종(Raphanus sativus L.) Saxa Nova에 시들음병을 일으키는 Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. raphani (FOR)에 대해 저항성을 증가시켜 방제효과를 얻기 위하여 식물성장을 증진시키는 것으로 알려진 Pseudomonas florescens WCS374 (WCS 374), P. putida RE10 (RE10) 및 Pseudomonas sp. EN41S (EN415)을 병원균처리 토양에 단독 또는 혼합처리하여 4주간 폿트배양한 후 무우에 나타나는 외부 및 내부병징을 조사하여 처리세균에 의한 병억제 효과를 측정하였다. 내부 및 외부병징으로 대조구는 각각 46.5% 및 21.1%를 나타내었고, RE10처리는 내외병징이 각각 12.2%와 7.8%로 발병이 억제됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 발병억제력이 높다고 알려진 WCS374는 내외 병징이 각각 45.6%와 27.8%로 나타났다. 한편 RE10균주를 WCS374 또는 EN415 균주와 혼합하여 처리할 경우 내외 병징이 10.0-22.1% 정도이었고 EN415와 혼합처리하면 7.8-20.2%의 병징을 나타낸다. FOR의 뿌리점유율은 뿌리에서 $2.4-5.1{\times}10^3/g$였고 토양내 분포수는 $0.7-1.3{\times}10^3/g$이었다. 대조구는 뿌리에서 $3.8{\times}10^3/g$였으며 RE10의 처리는 $2.9{\times}10^3/g$로 분포수가 적었고, 3종 세균의 혼합처리는 $5.1{\times}10^3/g$으로 많이 관찰되었으나, 처리간에 통계적 차이는 없었다. 토양에서 관찰된 FOR은 부리부분 보다 그 분포 수가 적었다. 처리된 3가지 세균은 뿌리에서 $2.3-4.0{\times}10^7/g$ 범위이고, 토양에서는 $0.9-1.8{\times}10^7/g$으로 뿌리에서 관찰된 수 보다 적게 분포하였다. 뿌리부분에서 대조구나 RE10의 처리토양은 형광성 Pseudomonas spp.의 분포수가 적고 처리간에는 통계적 차이를 나타냈으나, 토양조사에서 이세균은 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 뿌리에 처리된 세균과 FOR의 분포수는 토양에 처리된 것과 대조하였을 때 많았으며, 이 실험 에 사용된 RE10과 EN415은 Fusarium시들음병에 대한 기주의 저항성을 유도하는 것으로 생각된다.

본 시험은 yeast culture제제들(Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris)의 첨가가 육계의 성장, 장내 미생물균총 및 혈청 IgG농도에 미치는 영향을 측정하기 위하여 기초사료(control)에 chlorotetracycline 100ppm(CTC), Saccharomyces cerevisiae 0.3%(YC-SC), Pichia pastoris 0.3% (YC-PP), 정제된 Pichia pastoris culture 0.1% (RPPC-0.1) 및 0.3%(RPPC-0.3)를 각각 첨가하였다. Ross 종 육계 1000수(암․수 각각 500수)를 20개의 floor pen에 50수(암 수 각 25수)씩 수용하여 control, CTC, YC-SC와 RPPC-0.1구는 3반복으로 YC-PP와 RPPC-0.3구는 4반복으로 배치하였다. 증체량은 처리간에 유의한 차이가 없었으나 대조구나 항생제첨가구에 비해 효모배양물의 첨가구(YC-SC, RPPC-0.1 및 RPPC- 0.3)에서 증체량이 약 4-5% 개선되는 효과가 있었다. 항생제와 효모배양물은 첨가한 구가 대조구에 비해 사료효율이 개선되며 폐사율이 감소하는 경향이 있었다. 영양소 이용율은 yeast culture 첨가에 의해 유의한 영향을 받지 않았다. 소장하부 내용물의 Lactobacilli의 수는 효모배양물의 첨가구(YC-SC, RPPC-0.1 및 RPPC-0.3)에서 대조구보다 다소 높은 경향을 보였고, Cl. perfringens의 수는 CTC와 정제된 Pichia pastoris culture의 첨가에 의해 뚜렷이 저하되었다. E. coli의 수는 정제된 Pichia pastoris 구들이 낮았는데 특히 RPPC-0.3가 대조구보다 유의하게(P$\prec$0.02) 낮았다. 혈청 IgG 농도는 처간에 유의한 차이는 없었으나 효모배양물의 첨가구들에서 control구나 항생제 첨구에서보다 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 결론적으로 본시험에 사용된 yeast culture제제는 생산성, 소장내 미생물 균총과 혈청 IgG에 있어서 유의한 차이는 없었으나 항생제(CTC)와 같거나 그 이상의 개선효과를 나타내었다.

감시림프절 검사에는 $^{99m}Tc$-ASC, $^{99m}Tc$-Tin colloid, $^{99m}Tc$-HSA 등이 사용되었으나 공급 제한으로 간 스캔에 사용되고 있는 $^{99m}Tc$-phytate를 대체 방사성의약품으로 사용하고 있다. 이에 저자들은 phytate의 입자 크기 분포를 알아보고 200 nm 필터 사용유무에 따른 영상을 획득 분석하여 감시림프절 검사 시 필터 사용의 적절성을 판단하고자 하였다. Photal사의 ELS-8000 장비를 이용하여 phytate kit의 입자크기 분포를 측정 하였다. 동물 실험은 생후 12~15주령, 체중 250~300 g 암컷 백서를 사용하였으며, 전신 마취 후 앙와 위로 고정시켜 영상을 획득하였다. 비교군으로 여과시키지 않은 $^{99m}Tc$-phytate를 실험군으로는 200 nm 필터를 이용하여 여과시킨 $^{99m}Tc$-phytate를 백서의 발가락 사이에 피하주사 하였다. 6마리의 백서를 3~4일 간격으로 비교군과 대조군으로 그룹을 나누어 2회씩 실시 하였으며, 주사 후 1시간 지연영상을 얻은 후 서혜부에 관심영역을 설정하였으며 비정상적인 집적이 없는 부위를 선별하여 픽셀당 카운트를 얻었다. 세포 실험은 RAW 264.7 세포를 이용하여 비교군과 실험군에 $^{99m}Tc$-phytate를 넣어주고 30분 동안 배양시켜 감마카운터를 이용하여 각각의 분 당 카운트 값을 측정하였다. 이 값들은 SPSS 12.0 프로그램을 이용하여 통계 검정하였다. Phytate를 생리식염수에 용해시킨 후 측정 결과 평균 직경은 130~650 nm가 $85{\pm}5%$ 정도였으나 200 nm 필터를 이용하여 여과시킨 후의 입자 크기는 용매 내 phytate 입자의 농도가 너무 낮아 측정할 수 없었다. 획득한 영상을 분석한 결과 비교군에서는 $60.2{\pm}4.88$ count/pixel, 실험군에서는 $58.3{\pm}5.97$ count/pixel 값을 보였다. 세포 실험에서 실험군의 카운트 값은 $17,152{\pm}1,165$ cpm이고 비교군은 $16,908{\pm}1,075$ cpm을 보였다. 동물 실험과 마찬가지로 세포 실험에서도 통계적 차이는 보이지 않았다. 이번 실험을 통하여 phytate의 사이즈가 매우 분산적이며 균일하지 못 하다는 사실을 확인하였으며, 동물 실험과 세포실험을 통한 필터 사용의 적절성을 판단한 결과 phytate를 이용한 감시림프절 검사에서 필터를 사용하는 방법은 결과에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는다는 것을 확인하였다.

A study on field bioassay test using four species of commercially important shellfish was carried out to assess the effect of pollutants and determine the extent of marine environmental pollution of the Masan Bay from 9 to 15 August 1978. Water quality analysis and planktological examination of sea water were made during the experiment and the examination gave the following results. The water temperature was so high at 31.7$^{\circ}C$ in maximum and rather subject to change on weather condition of the land than on the effect of the water mass from outer bay. The range of DO,COD and SS at the stations were 0.3-7.08cc/l, 0.07-3.31ppm and 5.5-117ppm, respectively with the high values of COD and SS at the stations 7 and 1. The concentrations of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen in sea water, NH$\sub$4/-N, NO$\sub$2/-N, NO$\sub$3/-N, and PO$\sub$4/-P were 18.90-99.80, 2.48- 19.60, 13.00-39.00 and 1.04-14.0$\mu\textrm{g}$ at/l, respectively with decrease of their values in the outer part of the Bay. The high values mentioned above were caused by the sewage and industrial activities. The effects of organic waste are increased oxygen demand, nutrient concentration, turbidity and a higher input of pathogens, leading to structural changes in the marine ecosystems and to a considerable hazard to public health. The percentage composition of phytoplankton standing crop between diatom and dinoflagellate was characterized by making a difference between the two groups in respect of location: a decrease of diatom and a increase of dinoflagellate in numerical abundance toward inner part from outer part of the bay. Namely phytoplankton organisms were composed of 80% of diatom and 20% of dinoflagellate in outer bay, on the contrary, only 4% of diatom and 96% of dinoflagellate occupied by 94% of prorocentrum micans known as tolerant species to polluted reaas in the inner bay. On the occurrence and composition of zooplankton, there are two significant communities in the bay:one is characterized by the predominance of Oithona nana and the other by Favella sp They were composed of a range from 84% to 90% of the total organisms and monotonously constituted of themselves only at most inner station 3 even small numbers. From the results mentioned above, Oithona nana, Favella and prorocentrum micans recommed themselves as valuable indicators for judging the extent of the marine pollution.During the period of the biossays Mytilus edulis showed the highest mortality and Tapes japonica the lowest one between the four test species. The highest death rate by stations was found at most inner stations 3'and 4near Masan Free Export Zone with the most sensitive response and the lowest one occured at outer station 13 where no death specimen of oyster and arkshell was found during the whole test period.As for mussel,85 percent death rate appeared after 72 hours and 100percent rate after 120hours at station 4. It was found that the significant high mortality of the test shellfish mentioned above was caused by severe pollution with mainly organic pollutants from domestic sewage and industrial wastes from the results of too much higher concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen especially ammonia-N,COD,SS and lack of dissolved oxygen,and furthermore occurrence and abundance composition of Prorcentrum,Favella and Oithona nana by stations, valuable indicator species of coastal pollution by orgnic and boilogical pollutants.

Orchardgrass 및 white clover의 단파 및 혼파재배에서 미량요소 붕소(B)의 시비수준별 목초의 가시적 생육상, 뿌리/근류 형성, 수량성, 영양성분/무기양분 및 초종간 경합지수 등에 미치는 영향을 구명하였다. 처리내용은 다양 및 미량요소 시비를 동일하게 한 조건에서 5 수준의 붕소 처리: 1) $B_{0}$ ; 0.0, 2) $B_1$; 0.2, 3)$ B_2$; 2.0. 4) $B_3$; 6.0, 5) $B_4$; 15.0me B/pot로 하였으며, glasshouse에서 pot시험으로 수행하였다. 본 II보에서는 목초의 수량성 및 경합지수 특성 등에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 1. 적합한 붕소 시비($B_2$)는 목초의 수량 향상에 기여했으며 붕소의 시비효과는 초종, 단파 및 혼파, 추비 및 예취 회수별 차이를 보였다. 수량증가에 미치는 붕소의 시비효과는 orchardgrass보다 white clover가 더 크게 영향을 받았다. 단파재배의 white clover는 $B_2$ 처리구에서 후반 예취기에 상대적으로 더 큰 수량증가를 보였으며, 특히 추비를 주지 않은 5차 예취기의 수량은 가장 수량 증가폭이 높았다. 2. 혼파재배에서의 총 수량은 추비(특히 N)의 연용으로 white clover가 쇠퇴함에 따라서 orchardgrass의 수량성에 더 큰 영향을 받았다. 또한 white clover의 수량성에 미치는 붕소의 시비효과는 단파 조건과 차이를 보였고 상당히 경감되었다. 혼파재배에서 N 추비와 붕소 시비의 조절이 white clover의 수량 향상과 더불어 조화된 식생구성비율의 향상에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 3. 두 초종 공히 붕소과다로 인한 수량감소를 보였고 이 특성은 orchardgrass는 단, 혼파조건 모두 비슷한 경향을 보였지만 white clover는 단파 보다 혼파에서 상대적으로 더 심했다. 4. 혼파재배에서 추비(특히 N) 시용으로 orchardgrass의 식생비율 및 경합지수가 높아졌고, white clover는 낮아졌다. orchardgrass의 식생비율은 예취 회수가 진행되어 감에 55%에서 75%로 상승하였고, white clover는 45%에서 25%로 감소되었다. 추비(특히 N) 중단시에는 orchardgrasss의 경합지수가 더 높아졌고, 또한 적합한 시비구(B$_2$)에서 orchardgrass의 경합지수가 다른 처리구보다 더 높았으며 반면에 white clover는 가장 낮았다.

본 연구에서는 집중형 센터를 가진 역물류네트워크(Reverse logistics network with centralized centers : RLNCC)를 효율적을 해결하기 위한 혼합형 유전알고리즘(Hybrid genetic algorithm : HGA) 접근법을 제안한다. 제안된 HGA에서는 유전알고리즘(Genetic algorithm : GA)이 주요한 알고리즘으로 사용되며, GA 실행을 위해 0 혹은 1의 값을 가질 수 있는 새로운 비트스트링 표현구조(Bit-string representation scheme), Gen and Chang(1997)이 제안한 확장샘플링공간에서의 우수해 선택전략(Elitist strategy in enlarged sampling space) 2점 교차변이 연산자(Two-point crossover operator), 랜덤 돌연변이 연산자(Random mutation operator)가 사용된다. 또한 HGA에서는 혼합형 개념 적용을 위해 Michalewicz(1994)가 제안한 반복적언덕오르기법(Iterative hill climbing method : IHCM)이 사용된다. IHCM은 지역적 탐색기법(Local search technique) 중의 하나로서 GA탐색과정에 의해 수렴된 탐색공간에 대해 정밀하게 탐색을 실시한다. RLNCC는 역물류 네트워크에서 수집센터(Collection center), 재제조센터(Remanufacturing center), 재분배센터(Redistribution center), 2차 시장(Secondary market)으로 구성되며, 이들 각 센터 및 2차 시장들 중에서 하나의 센터 및 2차 시장만 개설되는 형태를 가지고 있다. 이러한 형태의 RLNCC는 혼합정수계획법(Mixed integer programming : MIP)모델로 표현되며, MIP 모델은 수송비용, 고정비용, 제품처리비용의 총합을 최소화하는 목적함수를 가지고 있다. 수송비용은 각 센터와 2차 시장 간에 제품수송에서 발생하는 비용을 의미하며, 고정비용은 각 센터 및 2차 시장의 개설여부에 따라 결정된다. 예를 들어 만일 세 개의 수집센터(수집센터 1, 2, 3의 개설비용이 각각 10.5, 12.1, 8.9)가 고려되고, 이 중에서 수집센터 1이 개설되고, 나머지 수집센터 2, 3은 개설되지 않을 경우, 전체고정비용은 10.5가 된다. 제품처리비용은 고객으로부터 회수된 제품을 각 센터 및 2차 시장에서 처리할 경우에 발생되는 비용을 의미한다. 수치실험에서는 본 연구에서 제안된 HGA접근법과 Yun(2013)의 연구에서 제안한 GA접근법이 다양한 수행도 평가 척도에 의해 서로 비교, 분석된다. Yun(2013)이 제안한 GA는 HGA에서 사용되는 IHCM과 같은 지역적탐색기법을 가지지 않는 접근법이다. 이들 두 접근법에서 동일한 조건의 실험을 위해 총세대수 : 10,000, 집단의 크기 : 20, 교차변이 확률 : 0.5, 돌연변이 확률 : 0.1, IHCM을 위한 탐색범위 : 2.0이 사용되며, 탐색의 랜덤성을 제거하기 위해 총 20번의 반복실행이 이루어 졌다. 사례로 제시된 두 가지 형태의 RLNCC에 대해 GA와 HGA가 각각 실행되었으며, 그 실험결과는 본 연구에서 제안된 HGA가 기존의 접근법인 GA보다 더 우수하다는 것이 증명되었다. 다만 본 연구에서는 비교적 규모가 작은 RLNCC만을 고려하였기에 추후 연구에서는 보다 규모가 큰 RLNCC에 대해 비교분석이 이루어 져야 할 것이다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N.

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.

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 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. 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.
