  • 기존의 인터넷 광고비 모델에는 CPM (Cost Per Mile), CPC (Cost Per Click), CPS (Cost Per Sales) 등이 존재하며, 특히 CPC 모델은 광고주와 미디어에게 모두 합리적이라는 평가를 받으며, 인터넷 광고 시장에서 높은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 그러나 CPC 모델 또한, 경쟁 사업자에 의한 과도한 광고비 부과나 부정한 광고 수익 등을 목적으로 하는 부정 행위가 발생할 수 있고, 사용자의 전환 의도 없는 광고물 클릭으로 인해 광고주에게 부당한 광고비가 부과될 수 있는 것이 사실이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 새로운 광고비 모델인 'CPCD' (Cost Per Coupon Download) 모델을 제안한다. CPCD 모델은 사용자가 단순히 광고물을 클릭하는 행동을 넘어 광고주가 제공하는 쿠폰을 다운로드 받았을 때 광고비가 부과되는 모델로서, CPC 모델과 CPS 모델의 중간 개념이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 CPCD 모델의 설계 및 분석을 위하여 발생 가능한 시나리오를 제시하고, 프로세스 분석 및 관련 이슈에 대한 검토를 수행한다. 그리고 CPCD 모델에 참여하는 각 사업 참여자들에 대한 분석을 수행하고, 비용 시뮬레이션을 통해 CPC 모델과 CPCD 모델을 비교함으로써, CPCD 모델에 참여하는 광고주의 사업 참여 조건을 밝히며, 마지막으로 유비쿼터스 환경에서 CPCD 모델의 적용 가능성에 대하여 고찰한다.

  • 전통주는 성장할 수 있는 전기를 맞이하고 있으나 전통적인 생산방식으로 인한 표준화, 품질관리의 문제점을 안고 있다. 이에 sensor 기술과 RFID 기술을 이용하여 품질관리와 표준화문제에 접근하고자 하였다. RFID 기술은 원거리 Sensing과 즉각적인 제어로서 표준화와 품질의 고급화를 이룰 수 있는 최적화 기술이다. 본 실험에서 3차에 걸친 발효과정을 측정하였는데 발효조의 내부온도에 따라 발효종말점이 14, 17, 20일까지 달랐다. pH의 경우 발효 초기 pH가 7.89, 7.95, 7.68에서 최종 pH 3.31에서 2.96까지 급격한 pH의 강하가 이뤄졌고 이후 서서히 상승으로 진행하다 최종에 pH 3.34에 도달하였다. 총산의 경우 발효 초기 0.1, 0.2, 0.1%에서 3~4일까지 급격히 총산이 증가하였고 이후 완만한 상승이 이어지다 최종에 pH 2.3~2까지 낮아졌다. 이는 발효 기간 중에 생성된 유기산과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 당도의 측정은 발효기에 부착한 sensor를 통하여 자료를 얻었는데 발효에서 당도의 변화는 초기 급격한 상승을 이룬 다음 중간 발효에서는 점차 낮아졌고 발효 후기에 갈수록 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 알코올의 측정과 총당의 측정은 아직까지 자동으로 검출이 어려워 manual 방식으로 측정하였는데, 알코올 함량은 초기에 급격히 증가하다가 발효 5일째서부터 대부분 완만한 증가를 보였고 1차 발효에서는 17.3%, 2차 발효에서는 16.7%, 3차 발효에서는 17.1%에서 발효가 완료되었다. 유리당은 1일째 4,171.44 mg%를 나타내다 초기에 급격한 감소를 보였고 10일을 전후하여 증가폭의 변화가 둔화되었다. 전체 중에 glucose가 제일 많은 함량이었고, 다음으로 sucrose, fructose 순이었다. 유기산의 경우 초기에 전체 61.48 mg%를 보이면서 발효 11일째까지 88.09 mg%를 보여 아주 완만한 상승이었는데, 이후 급격한 상승을 보였고 14일째 266.21 mg%에서 정점을 찍고 이후 완만한 진행을 보였다. 전통주의 발효에서 품질관리를 통한 전통주의 고급화 방법의 하나로 RFID 기술을 도입하여 이상발효의 차단과 적정한 sensor를 이용하여 지표로 활용, 정확한 발효과정을 판단할 필요가 있다. pH, 총산, 알코올 그리고 총당은 전통주 품질관리의 지표로 활용 가능한 바, 전통주 발효 전 과정을 monitering 하여 이상발효 유무의 중요한 지표로 활용이 가능할 것이다.

  • 본 연구는 대전, 충청지역 초음파실 종사자를 대상으로 병원감염관리에 관한 설문 조사를 실시하여 분석하였고, ATP를 이용하여 임상에서 사용되는 초음파 Probe의 오염도를 측정하였으며, 70% 알코올 이용하여 소독한 후 결과를 확인하였다. 기본적인 조사 대상자의 일반적인 특성 및 직종 별 대상자의 특성으로 나누어 학력, 직종, 초음파 전문자격증 보유 유무, 기관 내 감염 담당 부서 및 감염 교육의 여부를 분석하였다. 검사 후 젤 제거 여부 및 방법, Probe의 소독여부 및 변수 별 상관분석을 수행하여 초음파 Probe의 세균감염에 관한 인식 및 세척 및 소독에 대한 수행 정도를 분석하였다. 검사 후 Probe 세척에 관하여 수건을 가장 많이 사용하였으며, Gel 용기는 3개월 이상 교환하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 70% 알코올 소독 후 ATP 오염도는 $1055.4{\pm}944.2$에서 $133.5{\pm}93.2$으로 감소하였고 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 분석되었다.(${\rho}<0.01$) 병원균종은 CNS, Gram positive bacillus, Micrococcus species 검출되었다. 이를 해결하기 위해 시중에서 손쉽게 구할 수 있는 70% 알코올을 이용하여 소독을 실시하였으며 소독 후 병원균종은 검출되지 않았다. 연구 결과 초음파실을 관리하는 의료인 또는 의료기사 등은 감염관리에 대한 주기적인 교육과 감염예방에 대한 노력이 필요하다고 볼 수 있으며, 70% 알코올은 병원균 사멸에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 의료기관은 적극적인 병원감염관리 교육을 실시하여 종사자들의 병원감염에 관한 인식을 개선하고, 환자 감염 예방에 기여해야 할 것이다. 또한 본 연구 결과를 적절히 활용한다면 초음파 Probe를 매개로 한 감염 예방에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

  • 광해역의 표층 해수유동을 준 실시간으로 측정하는 장비인 해양 고주파 레이다(High Frequency Radar, HFR)는 특정 전파대역(HF)의 주파수를 해수면으로 발사하고 후방으로 산란된 전파를 분석하여 표층 유속 벡터를 측정한다(Crombie, 1955; Barrick, 1972). 본 연구에서 사용되는 Codar사의 Seasonde HF radar의 경우, 무지향성 안테나에서 송·수신한 전파의 브래그 피크(Bragg peak)의 강도와 다중신호분류(Mutiple Signal Classification, MUSIC) 알고리즘을 통하여 방사형 해류(Radial Vector)의 속도와 위치를 결정하게 된다. 이때 생산된 해류는 관측 전파 수신 환경의 특성이 고려되지 않은 이상적인 전파환경(Ideal Pattern)이 적용된 자료로써 이를 보정하기 위하여 안테나 패턴 측정(Antenna Pattern Measurement, APM)을 시행하여 보정된 방사해류장(Measured Radial Vector)을 계산하게 된다. APM의 관측원리는 안테나로부터 수신되는 각 위치별 신호 강도값을 측정하여 해류의 위치 및 위상 정보를 수정하는 것으로 일반적으로 선박에 안테나를 설치하여 실험을 진행한다. 하지만 선박을 활용할 시, 기상조건과 해양 상황 등 다양한 환경에 의해 최적의 APM 결과를 산출하기까지 많은 제약이 따른다. 따라서 APM 실험에 대하여 해상 상황에 대한 의존도를 낮추고 경제적인 효율성을 높이기 위하여 무인항공기인 드론을 이용한 APM 활용 가능성을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 전남 완도군 당사리 당사도등대에 설치된 고주파레이다를 활용하여 선박을 활용한 APM 실험과 드론을 활용한 APM 실험을 진행하였으며 선박과 드론으로 관측된 결과가 적용된 방사형 해류와 계류된 고정부이를 활용하여 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다.

  • In view of its prevalence in the Far East area, a more detailed knowledge on the hookworm infection is one of the very important medical problems. The present study was aimed to; determine the infectivity of the artificially hatched ancylostoma duodenale larvae in man after its oral administration, evaluate the clinical symptomatology of such infection, determine the date of first appearance of the ova in the stool, calculate the blood loss per worm per day, assess the relation-ships between the ova count, infectivity(worm load), blood loss and severity of anemia. An erythrokinetic study was also done to analyse the characteristics of hookworm anemia by means of $^{59}Fe\;and\;^{51}Cr$. Materials and Methods Ten healthy male volunteers(doctors, medical students and laboratory technicians) with the ages ranging from 21 to 40 years were selected as the experimental materials. They had no history of hookworm infection for preceding several years, and care was taken not to be exposed to reinfection. A baseline study including a through physical examinations and laboratory investigations such as complete blood counts, stool examination and estimation of the serum iron levels was done, and a vermifuge, bephenium hydroxynaphoate, was given 10 days prior to the main experiment. The ancylostoma duodenale filariform larvae were obtained in the following manner; The pure ancylostoma duodenale ova were obtained from the hookworm anemia patients and a modified filter paper method was adopted to harvest larger number of infective larvae, which were washed several times with saline. The actively moving mature larvae were put into the gelatine capsules, 150 in each, and were given to the volunteers in the fasting state with 300ml. of water. The volunteers were previously treated with intramuscular injection of 15mg. of chlorpromazine in order to prevent the eventual nausea and vomiting after the larvae intake. The clinical symptoms and signs mainly of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, appearance of the ova and occult blood in the stool etc. were checked every day for the first 20 days and then twice weekly until the end of the experiment, which usually lasted for about 3 months. Roentgenological survey of the lungs was also done. The hematological changes such as the red blood cell, white blood cell and eosinophil cell counts, hemoglobin content and serum iron levels were studied. The appearance of the ova in the stool was examined by the formalin ether method and the ova were counted in triplicate on two successive days using the Stoll's dilution method. The ferrokinetic data were calculated by the modified Huff's method and the apparent half survival time of the red blood cells by the modified Gray's method. The isotopes were simultaneously tagged and injected intravenously, and then the stool and blood samples were collected as was described by Roche et al., namely, three separate 4-day stool samples with the blood sample drawing before each 4-day stool collection. The radio-activities of the stools ashfied and the blood were separately measured by the pulse-height analyser. The daily blood loss was calculated with the following formula; daily blood loss in $ml.=\frac{cpm/g\;stool{\times}weight\;in\;g\;of\;4-day\;stool}{cpm/ml\;blood{\times}4}$ The average of these three 4-day periods was given as the daily blood loss in each patient. The blood loss per day per worm was calculated by simply dividing the daily blood loss by the number of the hookworm recovered after the vermifuge given twice a week at the termination of the experiment. The iron loss in mg. through the gastrointestinal tract was estimated with the daily iron loss in $mg=\frac{g\;Hgb/100ml{\times}ml\;daily\;blood\;loss{\times}3.40}{100}$ 3.40=mg of iron per g Hgb following formula; Results 1. The respiratory symptoms such as cough and sputum were noted in almost all cases within a week after the infection, which lasted about 2 weeks. The roentgenological findings of the chest were essentially normal. A moderate degree of febril reaction appeared within 2 weeks with a duration of 3 or 4 days. 2. The gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, epigastric fullness, abdominal pain and loose bowel appeared in all cases immediately after the larvae intake. 3. The reduction of the red blood cell count was not remarkable, however, the hemoglobin content and especially the serum iron level showed the steady decreases until the end of the experiment. 4. The white blood cells and eosinophil cells, on the contrary, showed increases in parallel and reached peaks in 20 to 30 days after the infection. A small secondary rise was noted in 2 months. 5. The ova first appeared in the stool in 40. 1 days after the infection, ranging from 29 to 51 days, during which the occult blood reaction of the stool became also positive in almost cases. 6. The number of ova recovered per day was 164, 320 on the average, ranging from 89,500 to 253,800. The number of the worm evacuated by vermifuge was in rough correlation with the number of ova recovered. 7. The infectivity of ancylostoma duodenale was 14% on the average, ranging from 7.3 to 20.0%, which is relatively lower than those reported by other workers. 8. The mean fecal blood loss was 5.78ml. per day, with a range of from 2.6 to 11.7ml., and the mean blood loss per worm per day was 0.30ml., with a range of from 0.13 to 0.73ml., which is in rough coincidence with those reported by other authors. There appeared to exist, however, no correlation between the blood loss and the number of ova recovered. 9. The mean fecal iron loss was 2.02mg. per day, with a range of from 1.20 to 3.89mg., which is less than those appeared in the literature. 10. The mean plasma iron disappearance rate was 0.80hr., with a range of from 0.62 to 0.95hr., namely, a slight accerelation. 11. The hookworm anemia appeared to be iron deficiency in origin caused by continuous intestinal blood loss.

  • 목적 : MnPC의 자기이완성질을 살펴보고, 토끼의 간에 이식한 VX2 암종을 이용해 자기공명영상에서 간의 조영증강형태를 관찰하고자하였다. 또한 간세포 특이성 조영제 사용 시와 비교하여 MnPC의 조직특이성 조영제로서의 가능성을 탐색해 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 조영제 합성시 상자성 원소의 배위자로 phthalocyanine(PC)를 선택하였다. 2.01 g (5.2 mmol)의 phthalocyanine을 0.37g(1.4 mmol)의 manganese chloride와 $310^{\circ}C$에서 36시간동안 반응시킨 후 혼합물을 크로마토그래피 (CHC13: CH3OH=98:2, volume ratio)로 정제하여 2000 달톤의 분자량을 갖는 1.04 g $(46\%)$의 MnPC를 얻었다. 자기이완율은 MnPC를 0.1 mmol로 희석시켜 1.5 T (64 MHz)에서 측정하였다. VX2 암종은 토끼의 간실질 내에 종양세포 부유액을 주입해 실험적으로 유발시켰다. 모든 영상은 1.5 T MR장비에서 무릎관절코일을 사용하여 획득하였다. 본 연구에서 새로 개발된 거대분자 자기공명영상 조영제인 MnPC (4m-mol/kg)와 간세포 특이성 조영제인 Mn-DPDP (0.01 mmol/kg)가 사용되었으며 이들 조영제는 토끼의 이정맥을 통해 주입되었다. T1 강조영상은 스핀에코 (TR/TE=516/14 msec)와 고속다면회손경사회복 (TR/TE=80/4 m-sec, flip angle $60^{\circ}$)을 사용하여 얻었고, T2 강조영상의 획득을 위해서는 고속스핀에코 (TR/TE=1200/85 m-sec)를 사용하였다. 결과 MnPC의 1.5T (64MHz)에서의 자기이완율은 $R1=7.28\;mM^{-1}S^{-1}$, $R2=55.56\;mM^{-1}S^{-1}$ 이었고, MnPC의 높은 T2 자기이완율은 T2 강조영상에서의 정상 간실질의 신호강도를 감소시켜 간실질과 VX2 암종의 구분을 쉽게 하였다. MnPC 주입시 T1 강조영상에서는 간세포 특이성 조영제의 주입시보다 종양의 경계가 명확하였고, 조영증강은 주입후 최소한시간 이상 높게 유지되었다. 결론 : MnPC가 간세포로 흡수되어 담관으로 배설된다는 사실은 Mn-DPDP와 유사한 특성이며 이는 MnPC가 새로운 간특이성 조영제임을 확인시켜 준다. 또한 MnPC의 R2값이 기존의 조영제에 비해 매우 크다는 사실은 T1 조영제로서 뿐만 아니라 T2 조영제로서의 사용 가능성을 보여준다. 이러한 사실들을 좀더 정확하게 뒷받침하기 위해서는 임상적으로 사용되기 이전에 생체 내 그리고 시험관내 연구가 더 필요하며 다른 동물모델에서의 추가적인 연구가 요구된다.

  • 목적 : 통상적인 외부 방사선 단독 치료 또는 유도 화학 병용요법으로 치료한 구인두암 환자들을 대상으로 생존율과 예후 인자를 후향적으로 분석하여 이들 치료방법의 역할을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1985년 11월부터 1993년 4월까지 구인두암으로 근치적 방사선 치료를 시행한 47명의 환자들 중, 26명은 통상적인 외부 방사선 치료만을, 나머지 21명은 유도 화학요법을 시행하였고 화학요법의 약제는 대부분 Cisplatin과 Pepleomycin으로 2회 시행하였으며, 방사선 단독 치료군과 유도 화학 병용요법군간의 환자 특성은 대체로 유사하였다. 방사선 치료는 6MV-LINAC으로 1일 선량 1.8-2.0 Gy씩 원발병소에는 54.0-79.2 Gy까지, 경부 임파절 병소에는 병소의 크기에 따라 55.8-90.0 Gy까지 조사하였다. 추적 기간은 3개월에서 102개월로 중앙값은 20개월이었고, 연령 분포는 33세에서 79세로 중앙값은 58세였다. 결과 : 전체 환자의 3년 생존율은 $39\%$였고, AJCC에 의한 병기별 3년 생존율은 I기 (n=5), II기 (n=11), III기 (n=12), IV기 (n=19)에서 각각 60, 55, 33, $32\%$이었다. 원발병소와 경부 임파절 병소의 병기별 3년 생존율은 T1+2, T3+4와 No, N+에서 각각 55, $18\%$ (p=0.005)와 43, $36\%$ (p>0.1)이었다. 방사선 단독 치료군과 유도 화학 병용요법군의 3년 생존율은 각각 38, $43\%$이었으나 통계적인 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.1). 원발병소 부위별 3년 생존율은 편도암(n=32), 설근암(n=8), 연구개 및 구개수암(n=6), 인두벽암(n=1)에서 각각 36, 38, 67, $0=%$이었으나 통계적인 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.1). 편도암 환자 32명 중, 22명은 주위 조직으로 침습이 있었고 그렇지 않은 군(10명)과의 3년 생존을은 24 대 $60\%$로 낮은 경향을 보였다 (p=0.08). 전체 환자에 대하여 원발병소 부위, 원발병소의 병기, 경부 임파절 병소의 병기, 방사선 치료 기간, 나이, 유도 화학요법 사용 유무 등에 대한 다요인 분석에서 원발병소의 병기만이 유의한 예후 인자였다. 결론 : 통상적인 외부 방사선 단독 치료군과 유도 화학 병용요법군간의 3년 생존율의 유의한 차이는 없었고, 이와 같은 치료방법으로 구인두암의 조기 병변, 특히 연구개암과 구개수암, 또는 주위 조직으로 침습이 없는 편도암에서 근치적 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 그러나 대부분의 진행된 병기의 생존율을 높이기 위해서는 통상적인 방사선 치료나 유도 화학요법 대신 다분할 조사 또는 가능한 수술적 방법의 추가나 동시적 화학 방사선 병용요법 등 보다 적극적이고 다면적인 치료가 필요할 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. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.
