Kinesin-2는 heterotrimeric kinesin-2와 homodimeric kinesin-2의 두종류가 존재한다. 세포내 미세소관을 따라 이동하는 분자 모터 단백질인 heterotrimeric kinesin-2는 motor 활성을 가진 kinesin superfamily protein (KIF) 3A와 3B (KIF3A와 KIF3B) 그리고 kinesin associated protein 3 (KAP3)로 구성되어져 있다. 특히 섬모내에서 heterotrimeric kinesin-2는 미세소관의 plus방향으로 운반체를 운반하는 역할을 수행한다. Heterotrimeric kinesin-2는 다양한 운반체 그리고 단백질들과의 결합이 알려져 있지만 heterotrimeric kinesin-2와 결합하는 결합단백질에 대하여서는 아직 충분히 밝혀지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 KIF3A의 C-말단 영역과 결합하는 단백질을 효모 two-hybrid system을 사용하여 탐색한 결과, brain expressed X-linked 2 (Bex2)를 분리하였다. Bex2는 KIF3A의 cargo-binding domain (CBD)을 포함하는 C-말단 영역과 결합하지만, KIF3B와 kinesin-1의 motor 단백질인 KIF5A와는 결합하지 않았다. 그리고 KIF3A는 Bex2의 다른 isoform인 Bex1과는 결합하지만, Bex3와는 결합하지 않았다. KIF3A은 GST-Bex1, GST-Bex2와는 결합하지만 GST와는 결합하지 않았다. HEK-293T세포에 Bex2을 발현시켰을 때 Bex2와 KIF3A는 세포 내의 같은 부위에 발현하며, Bex2 그리고 KIF3A을 면역침강한 결과 KIF3A와 KIF3B도 같이 침강함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들은 Bex2는 heterotrimeric kinesin-2와 운반체를 매개하는 단백질로의 가능성을 시사한다.

본 논문에서는 CIS 응용을 위해 제한된 폭을 가지는 10비트 50MS/s 0.13um CMOS 3단 파이프라인 ADC를 제안한다. 통상 CIS에 사용되는 아날로그 회로에서는 수용 가능한 조도 범위를 충분히 확보하기 위해 높은 전원전압을 사용하여 넓은 범위의 아날로그 신호를 처리한다. 그 반면, 디지털 회로에서는 전력 효율성을 위해 낮은 전원전압을 사용하므로 제안하는 ADC는 해당 전원전압들을 모두 사용하여 넓은 범위의 아날로그 신호를 낮은 전압 기반의 디지털 데이터로 변환하도록 설계하였다. 또한 2개의 잔류 증폭기에 적용한 증폭기 공유기법은 각 단의 증폭동작에 따라 전류를 조절함으로써 증폭기의 성능을 최적화 하여 전력 효율을 더욱 향상시켰다. 동일한 구조를 가진 3개의 FLASH ADC에서는 인터폴레이션 기법을 통해 비교기의 입력 단 개수를 절반으로 줄였으며, 프리앰프를 제거하여 래치만으로 비교기를 구성하였다. 또한 래치에 입력 단과 출력 단을 분리하는 풀-다운 스위치를 사용하여 킥-백 잡음으로 인한 문제를 최소화하였다. 기준전류 및 전압회로에서는 온-칩 저 전력 전압구동회로만으로 요구되는 정착시간 성능을 확보하였으며, 디지털 교정회로에는 신호특성에 따른 두 종류의 레벨-쉬프트 회로를 두어 낮은 전압의 디지털 데이터가 출력되도록 설계하였다. 제안하는 시제품 ADC는 0.35um thick-gate-oxide 트랜지스터를 지원하는 0.13um CMOS로 제작되었으며, 측정된 DNL 및 INL은 10비트에서 각각 최대 0.42LSB, 1.19LSB 수준을 보이며, 동적 성능은 50MS/s 동작속도에서 55.4dB의 SNDR과 68.7dB의 SFDR을 보인다. 시제품 ADC의 칩 면적은 0.53$mm^2$이며, 2.0V의 아날로그 전압, 2.8V 및 1.2V 등 두 종류의 디지털 전원전압에서 총 15.6mW의 전력을 소모한다.

배외측 뇌교의 전기자극은 척수 수준에서 동통의 역치를 증가시키고, 또한 말초로 부터 오는 유해성 자극에 의해 야기되는 척수후각세포의 흥분성을 억제하여 진통효과를 나타낸다. 이러한 진통효과는 noradrdnergic 원심신경을 매개로 한다고 하였지만, 이직까지 이를 직접적으로 뒷받침하는 신경화학적인 증거는 보고되지 않았다. 따라서 본 실험은 뇌교에 위치한 청반핵(Locus coeruleus)의 전기자극시, 척수 수준에서 일어나는 동통조절효과를 쥐꼬리 회피 반사(Tail Flick Reflex)를 이용해 관찰하고, 이러한 동통조절효과는 어떤 신경전달물질을 매개로해서 일어나며, 또한 생체내에서 직접 유리 되는지 살펴보기 위해 Push Pull technique을 이용해 척수액내 noradrenaline의 농도 변화를 HPLC로 측정하였다. 청반핵자극시의 동통조절기전을 알아보기위해 yohimbine, naloxone 그리고 vehicle의 3group 으로 나누어 각 길항제의 효과를 실험하였다. 청반핵 자극시 TF latency의 증가(>6.Ssec)를 보이는 역치 자극강도가 yohimbine $30{\mu}g$을 척수내로 투여한 후에는 $135\;{\mu}A$로서 안정시의 $55\;{\mu}A$에 비해 147% 증가되어 유의한 변화를 보여주었다(P<0.01, n=5). $Naloxone\;20{/mu}g$을 투여한 실험군 에서도 초기 역치자극강도 $54\;{\mu}A$에서 $120\;{\mu}A$로서 123% 증가되어 역시 유의한 변화를 보여주었다(P<0.01, n=5). 그러나 vehicle group에서는 투여 전, 후 역치자극강도의 변화가 없었다. 청반핵 자극이 없는 안정상태에서의 TF latency 값은 모두 3.1 sec였고 yohimbine과 naloxone투여후에는 각각 2.5 sec,2.6sec로 감소되어, 긴장성 억제가 차단되는 것으로 나타났다(각각 P<0.05,P<0.1,n=5).청반핵의 전기자극$(100\;{\mu}A)$은 척수액내 noradrenaline의 농도를 증가시켰으나(평균 4.18mg/ml에서 7.74 ng/ml로, p<0.05, n=10),dopamine의 농도는 증가되지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 청반핵 자극에 의한 척수내 동통조절효과는 opioid 계외에 부분적으로 noradrdnaline을 매개로 해서 이루어지며, 이에 관여하는 수용체는 ${\alpha}_2$ 임을 보여주었다.

견관절 탈구나 골절로 인해 arm sliding를 착용한 환자에서 외전(abduction)이 불가능한 경우 superior-inferior axial projection view를 대신하여 시행하는 velpeau view는 탈구나 골절 환자가 상체를 뒤로 젖히는 자세를 취하기가 어려워 고통이 가중되었다. 하지만 환자의 상체를 숙여 검사하는 새로운 검사법인 'modified velpeau view'를 제안하며 검사 시 자세고정의 용이함과 임상적 유용성에 대해 알아 보고자 2009년 10월부터 2010년 1월까지 견관절 탈구나 골절로 의심되어 본원에 내원한 환자들 중 velpeau view 처방을 받은 환자 20명과 정상인 30명을 대상으로 velpeau view와 modified velpeau view에서 wall-bucky와 환자의 상체 숙임각(30도, 45도, 60도, 75도)의 변화에 따른 골 구조의 차이를 비교하였다. 영상의학과 전문의와 정형외과 전문의에게 영상평가 기준을 제시하고 0점부터 5점을 만점으로 영상이 평가되었다. 정상인군에서 wall-bucky와 상체의 숙임각 변화에 따른 골구조의 비교결과 45도와 60도가 velpeau view 와 비슷한 진단수준을 보였으며, 진단 가치를 증명하기 위한 영상평가 결과 velpeau view에서는 shoulder head의 anterior와 posterior, glenoid fossa의 anterior와 posterior를 관찰할 수 있었지만, modified velpeau view에서는 velpeau view에서 관찰되는 부위 뿐만 아니라 acromioclavicular joint와 coracoid process도 관찰할 수 있었다. modified velpeau view가 velpeau view와 비교시 velpeau view를 대체할 만한 수준의 진단적 가치를 지닌 유용한 검사임이 확인 되었다. 또한 modified velpeau view는 velpeau view position이 어려운 환자를 대상으로 적용 가능한 대체법으로서 뿐만 아니라 어깨 골절과 탈구 이외의 어깨 질환의 진단을 위한 새로운 검사로서의 임상적 적용을 위해 다양한 시각에서의 연구와 개선의 노력이 필요함을 시사한다.

세포내 운반체는 kinesin과 dynein과 같은 미세소관 분자 모터단백질에 의하여 운반된다. Kinesin은 분자 모터단백질의 큰 그룹을 형성하며, kinesin-1은 미세소관 위를 정방향으로 세포내 소기관, 단백질 복합체, 그리고 mRNAs을 운반한다. Kinesin-1은 kinesin superfamily protein (KIF) 5A, 5B, 그리고 5C (또 다른 명칭으로 kinesin장쇄) 그리고 kinesin 단쇄로 구성되어져 있다. Kinesin-1은 KIF5s의 carboxyl (C)-말단 부위를 통하여 다양한 단백질과 결합한다는 사실은 알려져 있지만, 결합단백질에 대하여서는 아직 충분히 밝혀지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 KIF5A의 C-말단 특정영역과 결합하는 단백질을 효모 two-hybrid system을 사용하여 탐색한 결과, Glutamate-rich 4 (ERICH4)를 분리하였다. ERICH4는 KIF5A의 C-말단 특정영역과 결합하지만, KIF5B와 KIF3A (kinesin-2의 모터단백질)와는 결합하지 않았다. 그리고 KIF5A는 ERICH4의 다른 isoform인 ERICH1과는 결합하지 않았다. 또한 KIF5A은 GST-ERICH4, GST-ERICH4-amino (N)-말단과는 결합하지만 GST-ERICH4-C말단과 GST와는 결합하지 않았다. HEK-293T 세포에 ERICH4와 KIF5A을 발현시켰을 때 ERICH4와 KIF5A는 세포 내의 같은 부위에서 발현하며, ERICH4을 면역침강한 결과 KIF5A와 KLC은 같이 침강하였다. 이러한 결과들은 ERICH4는 kinesin-1이 운반하는 수송체와 KIF5A와의 결합에 매개단백질로의 역할의 가능성을 시사한다.

The Tertiary basins in Korea have widely been studied by numerous researchers producing individual results in sedimentology, paleontology, stratigraphy, volcanic petrology and structural geology, but interdisciplinary studies, inter-basin analysis and basin-forming process have not been carried out yet. Major work of this study is to elucidate evidences obtained from different parts of a basin as well as different Tertiary basins (Pohang, Changgi, Eoil, Haseo and Ulsan basins) in order to build up the correlation between the basins, and an overall picture of the basin architecture and evolution in Korea. According to the paleontologic evidences the geologic age of the Pohang marine basin is dated to be late Lower Miocence to Middle Miocene, whereas other non-marine basins are older as being either Early Miocene or Oligocene(Lee, 1975, 1978: Bong, 1984: Chun, 1982: Choi et al., 1984: Yun et al., 1990: Yoon, 1982). However, detailed ages of the Tertiary sediments, and their correlations in a basin and between basins are still controversial, since the basins are separated from each other, sedimentary sequence is disturbed and intruded by voncanic rocks, and non-marine sediments are not fossiliferous to be correlated. Therefore, in this work radiometric, magnetostratigraphic, and biostratigraphic data was integrated for the refinement of chronostratigraphy and synopsis of stratigraphy of Tertiary basins of Korea. A total of 21 samples including 10 basaltic, 2 porphyritic, and 9 andesitic rocks from 4 basins were collected for the K-Ar dating of whole rock method. The obtained age can be grouped as follows: $14.8{\pm}0.4{\sim}15.2{\pm}0.4Ma$, $19.9{\pm}0.5{\sim}22.1{\pm}0.7Ma$, $18.0{\pm}1.1{\sim}20.4+0.5Ma$, and $14.6{\pm}0.7{\sim}21.1{\pm}0.5Ma$. Stratigraphically they mostly fall into the range of Lower Miocene to Mid Miocene. The oldest volcanic rock recorded is a basalt (911213-6) with the age of $22.05{\pm}0.67Ma$ near Sangjeong-ri in the Changgi (or Janggi) basin and presumed to be formed in the Early Miocene, when Changgi Conglomerate began to deposit. The youngest one (911214-9) is a basalt of $14.64{\pm}0.66Ma$ in the Haseo basin. This means the intrusive and extrusive rocks are not a product of sudden voncanic activity of short duration as previously accepted but of successive processes lasting relatively long period of 8 or 9 Ma. The radiometric age of the volcanic rocks is not randomly distributed but varies systematically with basins and localities. It becomes generlly younger to the south, namely from the Changgi basin to the Haseo basin. The rocks in the Changgi basin are dated to be from $19.92{\pm}0.47$ to $22.05{\pm}0.67Ma$. With exception of only one locality in the Geumgwangdong they all formed before 20 Ma B.P. The Eoil basalt by Tateiwa in the Eoil basin are dated to be from $20.44{\pm}0.47$ to $18.35{\pm}0.62Ma$ and they are younger than those in the Changgi basin by 2~4 Ma. Specifically, basaltic rocks in the sedimentary and voncanic sequences of the Eoil basin can be well compared to the sequence of associated sedimentary rocks. Generally they become younger to the stratigraphically upper part. Among the basin, the Haseo basin is characterized by the youngest volcanic rocks. The basalt (911214-7) which crops out in Jeongja-ri, Gangdong-myon, Ulsan-gun is $16.22{\pm}0.75Ma$ and the other one (911214-9) in coastal area, Jujon-dong, Ulsan is $14.64{\pm}0.66Ma$ old. The radiometric data are positively collaborated with the results of paleomagnetic study, pull-apart basin model and East Sea spreading theory. Especially, the successively changing age of Eoil basalts are in accordance with successively changing degree of rotation. In detail, following results are discussed. Firstly, the porphyritic rocks previously known as Cretaceous basement (911213-2, 911214-1) show the age of $43.73{\pm}1.05$ 및 $49.58{\pm}1.13Ma$(Eocene) confirms the results of Jin et al. (1988). This means sequential volcanic activity from Cretaceous up to Lower Tertiary. Secondly, intrusive andesitic rocks in the Pohang basin, which are dated to be $21.8{\pm}2.8Ma$ (Jin et al., 1988) are found out to be 15 Ma old in coincindence with the age of host strata of 16.5 Ma. Thirdly, The Quaternary basalt (911213-5 and 911213-6) of Tateiwa(1924) is not homogeneous regarding formation age and petrological characteristics. The basalt in the Changgi basin show the age of $19.92{\pm}0.47$ and $22.05{\pm}0.67$ (Miocene). The basalt (911213-8) in Sangjond-ri, which intruded Nultaeri Trachytic Tuff is dated to be $20.55{\pm}0.50Ma$, which means Changgi Group is older than this age. The Yeonil Basalt, which Tateiwa described as Quaternary one shows different age ranging from Lower Miocene to Upper Miocene(cf. Jin et al., 1988: sample no. 93-33: $10.20{\pm}0.30Ma$). Therefore, the Yeonil Quarterary basalt should be revised and divided into different geologic epochs. Fourthly, Yeonil basalt of Tateiwa (1926) in the Eoil basin is correlated to the Yeonil basalt in the Changgi basin. Yoon (1989) intergrated both basalts as Eoil basaltic andesitic volcanic rocks or Eoil basalt (Yoon et al., 1991), and placed uppermost unit of the Changgi Group. As mentioned above the so-called Quarternary basalt in the Eoil basin are not extruded or intruaed simultaneously, but differentiatedly (14 Ma~25 Ma) so that they can not be classified as one unit. Fifthly, the Yongdong-ri formation of the Pomgogri Group is intruded by the Eoil basalt (911214-3) of 18.35~0.62 Ma age. Therefore, the deposition of the Pomgogri Group is completed before this age. Referring petrological characteristics, occurences, paleomagnetic data, and relationship to other Eoil basalts, it is most provable that this basalt is younger than two others. That means the Pomgogri Group is underlain by the Changgi Group. Sixthly, mineral composition of the basalts and andesitic rocks from the 4 basins show different ground mass and phenocryst. In volcanic rocks in the Pohang basin, phenocrysts are pyroxene and a small amount of biotite. Those of the Changgi basin is predominant by Labradorite, in the Eoil by bytownite-anorthite and a small amount pyroxene.

튀김옥수수의 popping은 거의 일정한 방향성을 가지고 파열되며 튀김후의 형태도 항상 일정하게 이루어지는 원인을 규명하고자 본 시험을 수행하였다. 시험에 앞서 이와 같은 원인이 과피의 선단부와 기부의 두께 차이에 있기 때문이라는 가정을 설정하고 이를 증명하기 위하여 과피를 각 부위별로 제거처리를 하거나 배를 제거후 popping했을 때 나타낸 반응을 검토한 결과로 얻은 튀김옥수수의 파열방향성 및 튀김후의 형태를 결정하는 요인에 대한 해석은 다음과 같다 1. 기부의 과피는 선단부의 과피보다 유의하게 두꺼웠다. 2. 가열로 종실 내부의 수분압력이 한계에 도달하면 과피가 상대적으로 않은 선단부에서 파열이 이루어지는데, 이때 기부의 과피는 선단부 과피를 끌어당겨주므로（bi-metal 원리） 항상 일정한 파열방향 및 튀김형태로 popping 된다. 3. 기부의 과피를 제기하면 선단부의 과피를 끌어 당겨주는 기부의 중심이 상실되기 때문에 불규칙 한 popping이 이루어 진다. 4. 배를 제거하면 무처리와 같이 일정한파열방향성 및 튀김형태는 유지되나 부피는 적었다. 따라서 배는 기부로 방출되는 수분을 차단하는 역할을 담당하고 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 5. 선단부 과피 및 전과피를 제거하면 모든 수분의 방출이 허용되어 popping이 전혀 이루어지지 않았다. 6. 튀김부피의 변화는 기부과피 제거>무처리>역제거>전과피 제거>선단부 과피제거의 순이었다. 7. 따라서 popping시 일정한 파열방향성 및 튀김형태를 갖게 하는 원인은 선단부와 기부 과피의 두께가 서로 다르기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다.된다.벼 보다는 IR62829A/청청벼 조합이 전당 증가율 및 전분 감소율이 월등히 켰다. 5. 치상후 현미중 a-amylase활성에 있어 1대잡종벼가 양친 및 비교품종보다 활성이 커 잡종강세를 나타내었으며 발아율과 a-amylase 활성과는 고도의 정의 유의상관이 있었다. 6. 파종 10일후 묘의 생육에 있어서도 1대잡종벼가 양친이나 비교품종보다 건물중, 초장 등에서 잡종강세를 나타내었으며 묘의 생육과 a-amylase 활성간에는 유의한 정의상관이 있었다./TEX>, RH 50%)한 벼는 2년반 저장한 벼도 밥맛의 변화가 거의 없었다. 5. 1988년산 및 1989년산 일반계를 10분도와 12분도로 도정하였을 때 도정도에 따른 밥맛의 차이는 없었다.X>$CoO_x$는 $Co_3O_4$로 존재하고, 반응 전의 경우에는 이와는 다른 chemical state를 보여주었다.

본 논문에서는 옥천, 청산, 문경 부운령, 부산 지역에서 작성된 암상구분에 의한 상세한 지질도, 변형단계별 지질구조와 미구조, 변형작용과 변성작용 사이의 상대적 시간관계 등에 대한 종합적인 연구결과와 옥천누층군에서 최근까지 보고된 절대 및 화석 연대자료로부터 중부 옥천대의 지구조 발달과정을 새롭게 고찰해 보았다. 첫 번째 지구조운동($D^*$)은 원경기육괴를 북부 경기육괴(현재의 경기육괴)와 남부 경기육괴(부산 및 박달령 편마암복합체)로 분리시키는 열곡작용에 의해 특징 지워진다. 전기 고생대 동안에는 조선누층군과 이에 상응하는 옥천누층군의 하위층군(석영사질암, 이질암, 탄산염질암, 염기성질암)이 옥천열곡분지에 퇴적 및 분출 관입되었고, 후기 고생대 동안에는 평안누층군과 이에 상응하는 옥천누층군의 상위층군(역질암, 이질암, 산성질암)이 퇴적 및 분출 관입되었다. 두 번째 지구조운동(옥천-청산 지구조운동/송림조산운동: D1)은 후기 페름기~중기 트라이아스기 동안에 발생하였고, D1은 전기단계의 옥천 아지구조운동(D1a)과 후기단계의 청산 아지구조운동(D1b)으로 구분된다. D1a는 북부 경기육괴와 남부 경기육괴의 결합 즉 옥천열곡분지의 닫힘운동과 관련하여 발생하였으며, 그 초기단계에는 옥천누층군에 조립흑운모, 석류석, 십자석 등 중압형 변성광물의 성장과 관련된 M1 중압형 변성작용을 발생시켰고 그 후기단계에는 옥천 중압형 변성암류를 남동-버젼스의 몇몇 나쁘로서 발굴시켰다. 그 결과 옥천변성대에서는 남동-버젼스의 지구조단위들이 형성되고 옥천누층군에는 이에 수반되어 대규모 칼집습곡, 광역엽리, 신장선구조가 형성되었다. D1b는 (북)북동-(남)남서의 압축지구조 환경하에서 발생하여 남중국판(경기육괴와 옥천변성대)과 북중국판(영남육괴와 태백산대)을 결합시켰다. 주요 지질구조로는 결합부의 선단부와 후미부에 (북)북동-버젼스 내지 (남)남서-버젼스를 갖는 (서)북서 방향의 충상단층이 형성되고, 결합부의 측면부에는 북북동 방향의 우수 주향-이동성 청산전단대와 조선 및 평안누층군에 북북동 방향의 직립습곡이 형성되었으며, 한반도에는 대동분지가 형성되었다. 그 이후, 후기 트라이아스기~전기 쥬라기의 대동층군이 퇴적되고, 세 번째 지구조운동(호남 지구조운동/대보조산운동: D2)은 전기~후기 쥬라기 동안에 북북동 방향의 우수 주향-이동성 호남전단운동의 횡압축응력 지구조환경하에서 발생하여 옥천누층군에 비대칭 파랑습곡과 조선 및 평안누층군에 북북동 방향의 횡와습곡과 후기 트라이아기 이전의 지층군이 대동층군의 상부로 충상하는 동남동-버젼스의 충상단층을 형성시켰다. M2 홍주석-규선석형 접촉변성작용은 D2의 휴식기에 해당하는 중기 쥬라기에 대보 화강암류의 관입에 의해 발생하였다. 네 번째 지구조운동(청마리 지구조운동: D3)은 전기 백악기에 남-북 방향의 압축지구조 환경하에서 발생하여 북북동 방향의 좌수 주향-이동성 전단운동에 수반된 당겨-열림형 백악기 퇴적분지를 형성시켰다. M3 후퇴변성작용은 주로 D2 이후에 발생하여 옥천누층군에 녹니석 반상변정을 결정시켰다. D3 이후 옥천지역에서는 기생 킹크습곡과 함께 대규모 금강 끌림습곡을 수반하는 좌수향 금강단층운동(금강 지구조운동: D4)이 발생하였고 이들 킹크습곡은 후기 백악기의 산성 암맥에 의해 관입된다.

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 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 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.

One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology.

The 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.

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.

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.
