  • 본 연구는 화학기상증착(Chemical Vapor Deposition)법을 이용하여 Si(100) 표면위에 Ge 나노점을 성장하여 나노점의 형성과 성장과정을 원자간력현미경(AFM)으로 조사하였다. 성장온도, Ge 증착량, 열처리시간의 변화에 따른 형성된 나노점의 모양, 크기, 표면 밀도의 변화를 분석하였다. $600^{\circ}C$의 성장온도에서 ${\sim}0.1ML/sec$의 증착율로 Ge을 증착한 결과, ${\sim}4ML$까지는 pseudomorphic한 Ge wetting 층이 형성되었으며, 증착시간을 증가하여 5ML 이상에서 Ge 나노점이 형성되기 시작하였다. Ge 증착량을 증가시킴에 따라 초기 나노점은 긴 지붕모양(elongated hut)구조로 형성되었고, 점차 크기가 증가함에 따라, 피라미드(pyramid), 돔(dome), 더 큰 Superdome 구조로 변형되었다. 초기 피라미드 형태의 나노점 평균크기는 ${\sim}20nm$이였으며, 가장 큰 superdome의 평균크기는 ${\sim}310nm$ 이상이었으며, 크기가 증가함에 따라 표면 밀도는 $4{\times}10^{10}cm^{-2}$에서 $5{\times}10^8cm^{-2}$로 감소하였다. 상대적으로 고온인 $650^{\circ}C$에서 Ge을 증착했을 경우, 피라미드 구조는 발견되지 않았으며, 대부분의 나노점은 돔 형태로 형성되었으며, 점차 superdome 형태로 변형되었다. 또한, 고온 성장된 시료의 열처리 시간을 증가함에 따라, 나노점의 크기는 점차 성장하였으나, 밀도는 거의 변화가 없었다. 이와 같은 나노점의 형태, 크기, 밀도의 변화는 나노점이 갖는 에너지의 최소화와 표면에서 원자들의 이동(diffusion)으로 설명할 수 있었다. 특히, AFM 이미지의 표면에 분포한 나노점들의 상대적인 위치를 분석한 결과, 유사한 크기의 근접한 나노점들은 점차 크기가 증가함에 따라 합쳐지는 Coalescence과정에 의해 성장하고, 크기가 다른 근접한 나노점들 사이에는 화학적 포텐셜에너지 차에 의한 ripening 과정의 성장을 관찰하였다. 즉, 형성된 나노점들은 국부적인 표면분포에 따라 나노점들은 두 성장과정이 동시 작용하여 성장함을 확인하였다.

  • 기초 구조물 설계에 있어서 지지력 및 압밀 침하량 산정식을 각각 단일 모우드 거동함수(perfor trance function)로 설정하여 실측된 토성자초를 확률변수로 취해서 기술류계학적 분석을 기행했다. 이 분석결과로서 얕은 기초가 파괴상태에 이르렀을 때의 신뢰도와 그 때에 거동되고 있는 설계변수치(check points)를 "Advanced first-order second moment method"로 구했다. 설계변수들 사이의 관계를 무연관-정규분포, 무상관-비정규분포, 유상관-정규분포 및 유상관-비정규분포 등의 유형 으로 분류하여 신뢰도 및 설계변수치를 비교 검토하여 얻은 주요한 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 지지력 모우드 1) CU test 의한 점착력과 tans사이에는 약한 음상관치 있으며, 각각 대규분포 및 대수정륜 분포를 한다. 2) 신뢰지수를 2.34로 제한했을 경우, 유상관-대수정규분포 유형의 지지력은 18.6t/m2으로서 가장 낮게 되므로, 이 이외의 유형은 지반조건을 과대평가할 우려가 있다. 2. 압밀 침하량 모우드 1) 압축비(compression ratio) 및 선행 압밀응력은 각각 정규분포 및 대수정규분포를 이루며, 이들의 상관성은 연계적 독립변수로 취급해도 좋을 만큼 매우 낮다. 2) 압밀 침하량을 확정론적 방법으로 산출한 16cm보다 더 낮게 취하면, 유상관일대수정규분포류 형의 신뇌맥가 가장 낮게 평가된다. 따라서, 얕은 기초 구조물을 신뇌도나 파괴확률을 해석하는 데 있어서, 정확한 확률밀도함수로서 복잡한 수치적분에 의한 엄밀해보다는 개략적인 확률분포형태와 비교적 쉽게 얻어지는 공분산까지를 고려하면, 기초의 지반조건이 과소평가될 우려가 없다.가될 우려가 없다.의 뽕밭에 발생한 발아불량현상의 원인은 주인이 저온에 의한 동해라고 볼 수 있으며 지역적으로는 붕소결핍에 의한 발아불량현상도 적지 않았고 특히 붕소결핍이 동해피해를 가속화시켰다고 볼 수 있다.dard deviation)were estimated, and diagram which shows the relationship between mean annual maximum rainfall($$) and frequency factor for each durations were drawn.

  • This is a study which attempt to analyze changing patierns of economic active popu-lation, t o estimato- future patterns, and exa- mine vartons problems arises by changing c ire u mst ances of t he labor force market in- clunging soici al, economic ic, heathl th and demoi-graph ic aspects. We have constructed series of wotking life table which are useful in syt uiolyioig the lirocess of growth and structural change of labor force. Work i ng life tables represent ihie life eyele of econrmic' activity in hi ypothetical cohorts, that is. gen-erat i on of men Sn bject at eat' b period ot f their lives th given ra to's o mor tali it y and of par-- tici pation in economic activities. The tabloes prot' ide measorues of the alvet'age he ng t able of economically aeti \- e life. and agespecific rates of en trannee' into and retirement from the hahn' force. In const routing working life tables, age-specific activity rates and life tabole popula- titoto which represents contemporary condi-tions of moortality in Korea au'e the basic' maltoerials. We have derived the age-specific rates foorm economically active population survey, whoich were conducted by the Bureau of Statistics, Economic Planning Borard of the Korean government. Working life tables are constructed for men wtable these materi- als in the year of 1970, 1980 and 1988 by a modified Wolfbein-Wool's method. Some of the findings may be summerized as follow : 1) A central part of constructing working life table is calculation of stationary' economic active population, which represents the number of men in the stationtary population extoected to be in the labor force at each age group in the life span. The stationary economic active population by age have generally a universal pattern, where they rise sharply in the early twenties, approach its' peak in the thirties decline thereafter. at first graolually and then more rapidly at an advanced age. Korean men show the same general pa ttern of age distribution of stationary eco-- nomic active population with sharp increase hegining from the age interval of 20 to 24, reaching to maximum level at older age. The population. however, presumably, increased substantially due to increaseing school atte endance rates. Another difference exiSts in the youngest age groups, that is the activity rate in the year of 1988 is lower than that of Japan. The table shows an analysis of changes in the age distrihution of labor force between 1970, 1980 and 1988. 2) It was shown an analysis of changes in the age distribution and cause of separation from labor force. The entrance rate to labor force has increased from 18~\5 persons to 299 persons per 1000 head of stationary population between that of 1980 than that of 1988 for Korean men in 20~24 age group. The entrace rate to labor force shows a rapid entrance appearance concentrated on the 15~24 age group. The separation rate from labor force by retirment in Korea in the year of 1988 shows a great difference of the about four times as much as that of Japan. 3) The functions of table illustrate the patterns of working life of males in Korea in 1970, 1980 and 1988. The average remaining number of economically active years, e at age 15 in 1988 is 46.39 which is 2.12 years of increase compared with that of at age 15 in 1970,1980 and 1988 are 43.90,44.27 and 46.39 respectively, showing steadily increase dur- ing the past double decade the increase in the length of economically active life various age may be considered to have come both from extention of general life expectancy and from increasing entrance rate to economic activity in high age that of working is far greater in 1988 than that of 1980. The gaps between expectation of life and average remaining years of economically active widened due to rapid improvement of mortality level in Ko- rea. This observation together with the population pressure by the appearance of a group of younger population implies that constant increase of economically inactive population among older age group.

  • 본 연구는 실내공기질 분야에 대한 합리적인 숙련도 시험 프로그램 확립을 위해 기체상 표준 물질을 제조하고, 시료 채취 과정을 포함한 숙련도 평가가 타당한 것인지 여부를 검토하였다. 또한 숙련도시료(PTMs; proficiency testing materials)의 균질성 및 안정성 평가를 실시하였다. PTMs의 모든 항목에 대해 시료간 균질도가 $0.3{\sigma}p$ 값보다 낮은 값을 가지는 것으로 나타나 충분히 균질성이 확보 되었다고 판단할 수 있었다. 숙련도 평가를 실시한 결과 고압의 실린더에 제조된 VOCs (volatile organic compounds) 표준가스를 Tenax-TA에 흡착시켜 분배한 시료(A 방법)는 시료농도 50~320 ${\mu}g/m^3$에서 로버스트 상대표준편차(RSD)가 23~43% 이내로 나타났고, 시료채취 과정에 대한 숙련도 시험 포함 여부를 평가하기 위하여 고압의 실린더에 제조된 VOCs 표준가스를 기체상으로 테들라백에 담아 분배한 시료(B 방법)와 고압의 실린더에 제조된 VOCs 표준가스를 분배기를 통하여 시험기관이 직접 흡착관에 채취하게 한 시료(C 방법)는 자일렌을 제외하고, VOCs 각각의 농도 200~1200 ${\mu}g/m^3$, 100~450 ${\mu}g/m^3$에서 로버스트 상대표준편차(RSD)가 각각 13~42%, 16~31% 이내로 나타나 시료채취 과정을 포함한 경우 오히려 낮은 상대표준편차를 보였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 지속적으로 시료 채취 과정을 포함한 숙련도 평가를 실시하여도 타당할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 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.

  • 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.).

  • 본 연구에서는 고혈압 유병율이 높고 소금이 다량 함유된 김치, 장아찌, 장류 위주의 식생활을 하는 농촌 성인의 고혈압 및 만성 퇴행성 질병의 유병율을 낮추는데 도움을 주는 기초자료를 마련하고자, 농촌의 중년기 이후 성인의 식습관 및 건강습관과 식염섭취 행동을 조사하고 이에 영향을 미치는 식행동 요인들을 조사하였다. 조사 대상은 충북 옥천군의 옥천읍과 8개면 성인 주민을 대상으로 비례추출에 의해 402가구를 선정하고 가구당 1인씩 총 402인을 유의 추출하였다. 1% 소금물에 대한 짠맛 민감도를 조사하여 민감군, 보통군, 둔감군의 세 군으로 분류하고 각 군의 식행동과 주변인의 영향과 지원을 분석하였다. 1) 본 연구 대상자는 남자 133명 (33.1%), 여자 269명 (66.9%), 총 402명으로 평균 연령은 $58.9{\pm}9.4$세로 남녀 모두 61~70세 (40.0%)가 가장 많았다. 2) 조사대상자의 평균 체질량 지수 (kg/$m^2$)는 남자 $23.6{\pm}3.5$, 여자 $24.6{\pm}3.3$로 여자가 남자에 비해 과체중의 경향이 컸다. 허리-엉덩이 둘레비 (WHR)도 남자 $0.90{\pm}0.12$, 여자 $0.92{\pm}0.49$로 여자가 높았고, 연령별로는 모두 50~64세 (남 $0.92{\pm}0.13$, 여 $0.98{\pm}0.74$)에서 가장 높았다가 65세 이상에서 감소하였다 (남 $0.89{\pm}0.09$, 여 $0.90{\pm}0.05$). 3) 평소 먹는 음식의 간에 대한 응답에서 보통으로 먹는다 38.1%, 짜지 않게 먹는다 35.1%, 짜게 먹는다 26.9%의 순서로 많았는데, 65세 이상의 최고령층에서 짜게 먹는다는 응답이 34.6%로 가장 많았다. 음식 간에 대해 자녀보다 더 짜게 먹는 다는 응답도 65세 이상의 최고령층에서 가장 높았다 (p < 0.01). 1% 소금물에 대해 50.3%는 짜다, 41%는 보통이다, 8.7%는 싱겁다고 응답하였다. 4) 식염섭취 관련 식습관 및 식행동 조사에서 짠맛 둔감군은 보통군이나 민감군에 비해 규칙적으로 식사하는 비율이 낮은데 반해, 과식비율, 10분 이내의 식사속도, 편식, 튀김선호 비율이 세 군 중 가장 높았다. 5) 식염섭취에 대한 견해 및 행동에서 짠맛 둔감군이 짠 음식을 습관적으로 가장 많이 섭취하였고, 짠 음식 섭취가 건강에 좋지 않다는 인식, 짜게 먹는 습관을 바꾸겠다는 의지나 실천도도 가장 낮았다. 6) 식염섭취 감소를 위한 지원이나 영향력이 가장 큰 사람은 배우자 등 가족보다 의료 및 영양 전문가들 (각각 58.4%, 56.8%)이었다. 7) 식염섭취에 대한 자아효능감 조사에서 식염 섭취 조절이 어렵다고 답한 경우는 매끼니 (46.3%), 배우자가 짠 음식을 좋아할 때 (45.2%), 외식 할 때 (36.3%)의 순으로 높았다. 특히 민감군은 매 끼니, 외식시, 배우자가 짠 음식을 좋아하는 경우 모두에서 식염조절 능력이 높은 편이었다. 8) 식품군별 섭취빈도에서 유의적인 차이를 나타낸 식품군은 채소류, 과일류, 매운 음식류로서, 민감군에서 채소류와 과일류의 섭취빈도가 높은 반면 둔감군은 매운 음식류에 대한 섭취빈도가 높았다. 농촌의 중년기 이후 성인의 식습관 및 건강습관과 식염섭취 행동을 조사한 결과, 짠 음식 섭취가 습관화된 행태를 보이며 식염 섭취와 인식정도에 비해 식염 저감을 위한 실천정도는 낮아 주민들이 손쉽게 실천할 수 있는 효과적인 저염섭취를 위한 식생활 실천방안의 제시가 요구된다. 또한 의료 및 영양전문가들을 통한 영양교육과 배우자 등 가족에 대한 교육이 강화되고 산업체에서의 저염식품 개발 등을 유도하여 염분섭취 감소를 위한 식생활 환경 구축과 실천 가능한 범국민적 저염식 영양교육 지원책이 정부차원에서 더 적극적으로 수립되어야겠다.

  • 백혈구수와 고혈압과의 관계를 알아보기 위해 1985년에 일부 농촌 거주자와 1986년에 일부 도시 거주자를 대상으로 혈액학적인 검사와 장기별로 기능검사를 통해서 건강선별조사를 했던 자료를 이용했다. 농촌거주자는 1985년에 경상북도 경산군에서 남자 206명, 여자 203명을 마을, 통, 반을 기준으로 다단계 집락추출법으로 추출했다. 도시 거주 대상자는 1985년 12월에 대구시에 거주하고 있는 20세 이상의 주민의 성별, 연령별 구성비율에 부합되게 농촌과 같은 표본추출방법으로 600명을 선정했으나 600명중 384명만이 본 조사에 응해주어서 나머지 인원은 피보험대상자들의 정기 신체검사를 위해 대학병원 건강관리과에 내원한 사람들 중에서 성, 연령을 짝지어서 추출했다. 이들 자료에서 백혈구수 측정이 빠진 사람, 고혈압력을 포함한 질병 유소견자와 검사상 극도의 비정상적인 수치를 보이는 자들을 농촌 거주자에서 36명 (8.8%), 도시 거주자에서 29명 (4.8%)을 제외시켜서 최종분석에 이용된 자는 도시가 571명, 농촌이 373명이었다. 백혈구수 측정은 ELT-8 Laser shadow method 를 이용했으며 단위는 $cells/mm^3$ 였다. 혈압 측정은 Aneroid 혈압계를 사용해서 표준화한 후 측정했다. 고혈압자의 정의는 수축기혈압 140 mmHg/확장기혈압이 90 mmHg 이상인 자로 했다. 농촌과 도시를 합한 총대상자에대해 고혈압자와 정상 혈압자간의 백혈구수의 평균을 비교하면 정상 혈압자에서 $6490.61{\pm}1941.32$, 고혈압에서 $6965.93{\pm}1997.01$로서 고혈압자에서 백혈구수의 평균이 통계적으로 유의하게 더 높았으며 (P=0.00), 농촌에서 동일한 방향의 유의한 차이를 보였다 (P=0.03). 그 외의 거주지와 성별로 층화한 각 층에서는 유의한 평균차이를 보이는 결과는 없었다. 총대상자에서 백혈구수 1/5분위수를 기준으로 했을 때 2/5분위수의 비차비가 0.99 (95% confidence interval, CI 0.62-1.59), 3/5분위수가 1.41 (95% CI 0.90-2.21), 4/5분위수가 1.76(95% CI 1.14-2.72), 5/5분위수가 1.80 (95% CI 1.15-2.82)로서 백혈구수가 증가 함에따라 고혈압의 유병율이 일정하게 상승하는 것을 알 수 있었으며 경향분석에서도 유의한 경향($X^2_{trend}=5.53,\;df=1,\;P<0.05$)을 나타내었다. 나머지 층에서는 유의한 비차비도 없었으며 유의한 경향 역시 보이지 않았다. 그러나 거주지와 성별로 층화한 각 층에서 연령, 흡연과 음주량을 다중지수회귀분석으로 통제를 했을 때 단일분석시 통계적인 유의성을 보였던 전체 대상자의 비차비는 통계적으로 유의하지 않게 되었고 그 크기 역시 작아지고 불안정해졌다. 전체적으로 비차비의 크기가 조금씩 줄었으며 경향분석에서도 유의한 경향을 보인 층은 없었다. 이러한 사실은 백혈구수와 고혈압과의 가설을 처음으로 제시했던 Friedman등의 연구가 고혈압의 예측변수를 찾기위해 800여개의 변수와 고혈압발생과의 관계를 보는 과정에서 우연히 발견된 통계적인 1종오차의 결과 일지도 모른다는 것을 시사해주는 결과이다.

  • 본 연구는 성인 여성을 대상으로 하여 대사증후군 및 골다공증 등의 질병이 증가하는 폐경을 기준으로 구분하여 이소플라본 섭취 수준을 조사하고, 이소플라본 섭취 수준에 따른 각종 만성질환과 관련된 건강지표와의 관련성을 분석하였다. 1. 본 연구 대상자의 평균 연령은 49.97세이며, 폐경 전 대상자는 45.14세, 폐경 후 대상자는 55.99세였다. 폐경 전 대상자에 비해 폐경 후 대상자는 평균 체질량지수(p<0.01), 허리-엉덩이둘레 비율(p<0.001), 체지방율(p<0.001), 수축기 혈압(p<0.001), 혈당 및 혈중 지질 수준(p<0.05)이 유의적인 차이로 높았고, 골반 및 척추의 골밀도는 유의적언 차이로 낮게 나타났다. 또한 폐경 후 대상자의 경우 폐경 전 대상자와 비교할 때 빈혈 위험 집단으로 분류된 비율은 낮았으나, 비만 고혈압 고지혈증 골다공증 등 각종 만성질환과 관련된 건강 위험자 비율이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 2. 폐경 전 후 조사 대상자의 각 대두식품/음식의 섭취 빈도는 유사한 양상을 나타냈다. 폐경 전 대상자는 47.1%, 폐경 후 대상자는 42.7%가 매일 조림 볶음 콩밥 등의 형태로 콩을 섭취하는 것으로 나타났으며, 두부와 된장의 경우 1주일에 1회, 2회, 3~4회 섭취 빈도가 모두 20% 이상으로 나타나 콩, 두부, 된장이 이소플라본의 주요 공급원임을 알 수 있다. 3. 조사 대상자의 하루 이소플라본 평균 섭취 수준은 28.48 mg이었으며, 폐경 전 대상자는 25.48 mg, 폐경 후 대상자는 32.25 mg으로 폐경 후 대상자의 하루 이소플라본 섭취 수준이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이소플라본 섭취 수준의 분포는 폐경 전 대상자는 3.29~78.36 mg(중간값 24.19 mg), 폐경 후 대상자는 3.18~116.59 mg(중간값 25.94 mg)으로 개인 간의 섭취 수준의 차이가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 4. 폐경 전 대상자의 이소플라본 평균 섭취 수준은 low, middle, high 집단이 각각 8.2 mg, 24.8 mg, 47.5 mg이었다. 이소플라본 섭취 수준이 높을수록 체질량지수와 수축기 혈압이 낮은 것으로 나타났으나, 집단별 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 헤마토크리트는 이소플라본이 가장 낮은 섭취군과 가장 높은 섭취군이 유의적인 차이를 보이며, 이소플라본 섭취 수준이 높을수록 수치가 낮아지는 것으로 조사되었다. 폐경 후 대상자는 low, middle, high 집단 각각의 이소플라본 평균 섭취 수준이 8.6 mg, 24.6 mg, 63.6 mg 이었으며, 이소플라본 섭취 수준이 높을수록 초경 연령은 낮고, 폐경 연령은 높은 경향을 보여 주었으나 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 체질량지수와 허리-엉덩이 비율은 섭취 수준이 가장 낮은 집단이 중간 섭취 집단과 유의적인 차이를 보이며 더 높은 것으로 분석되었다(p<0.05). 체지방율은 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 이소플라본 섭취 수준이 낮은 집단에서 더 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 이외에도 통계적으로 유의적인 차이를 보이지는 않았으나 이소플라본 섭취 수준이 가장 낮은 집단에 비해 중간 이상 섭취하는 집단에서 수축기 혈압, 총 콜레스테롤과 LDL-콜레스테롤, 그리고 중성지방 모두 더 낮은 경향을 보였다. 본 연구는 횡단적 관찰 연구이므로 각종 만성질환의 위험을 나타내는 건강지표들과 태두 이소플라본의 섭취 간에 인과관계를 밝힐 수는 없었으나, 대사증후군 및 골다공증 등의 질병이 증가하는 폐경 후 여성에서 대두 이소플라본 섭취와 비만 고지혈증 고혈압 등 건강문제와의 관련 가능성을 미약하게나마 보여준 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구 결과만으로 대두 이소플라본의 적정 섭취 기준을 제시할 수 없으나 조사대상자의 이소플라본 섭취 분포에 따라 4분위로 나누었을 때 최하위군에 속하는 하루 15 mg 이하를 섭취하는 경우 그 이상 섭취하는 사람들에 비해 여러 질병 위험도가 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 본 연구 및 선행 연구 결과들에서 나타난 한국인의 일상적인 식생활을 통한 이소플라본 하루 평균 섭취 수준은 20~35 mg 수준으로 나타난 바 있으므로, 다양한 대두식품을 통해 하루 15~35 mg 이상의 이소플라본 섭취는 이루어지는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다. 앞으로 종단적 영양 역학 연구와 설험 연구를 통해 대두 이소플라본 섭취와 만성질환 간의 인과 관계를 규명하고, 만성질환 예방과 치료를 위해, 폐경 여성에서 호르몬 대체 요법을 위해 대두식품 및 이소플라본의 적정 섭취 수준을 제시할 수 있는 연구가 다각도로 진행되어야 할 것이다.
