This paper presents the fabrication and testing of a two-way pressure regulation micro shunt valve with an anti-siphon effect that can be implanted in hydrocephalus patients. This micro shunt valve consists of a silicone rubber membrane and a valve seat for the opening pressure control as well as the anti-siphon behavior. The two-way pressure regulation and the anti-siphon effect of the micro shunt valve are verified experimentally for various sizes of membranes and valve seats.

The present study investigated design parameters of shunt valves and anti-siphon device used to treat patients with hydrocephalus. The shunt valve controls drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through passive deflection of a thin and small diaphragm. The anti-siphon device(ASD) is optionally connected to the valve to prevent overdrainage when the patients are in the standing position. The major design parameters influencing pressure-flow characteristics of the shunt valve were analyzed using ANSYS structural program. Experiments were performed on the commercially available valves and showed good agreements with the computer simulation. The results of the study indicated that predeflection of the shunt valve diaphragm is an important design parameter to determine the opening pressure of the valve. The predeflection was found to depend on the diaphragm tip height and could be adjusted by the diaphragm thickness and its elastic modulus. The major design parameters of the ASD were found to be the clearance (gap height) between the thin diaphragm and the flow orifice. Besides the gap height, the opening pressure of the ASD could be adjusted by the diaphragm thickness, its elastic modulus, area ratio of the diaphragm to the flow orifice. Based on the numerical simulation which considered the increased subcutaneous pressure introduced by the tissue capsule pressure on the implanted shunt valve system, optimum design parameters were proposed for the ASD.

1. Outline: The flow of the siphon spillway is very intricate and affected by vacuous condition. It is an intresting problem to make vacuum rapidly in_siphon, i.e, to provoke the perfect siphonaoge with the lowest water-level of overflow. The hydraulic experiments of siphon spillway have practiced at the Masan Lake, Haenam, the province of Junnam and gained rational and economical results which cannot be odtained by calculation. 2. Experiment: The model scale was a half of that of the prototype. 3. Results and discussion: In the experiments of 14 runs, washing, overflow water level, outlet, water level of cushion, phenomenon of water flying and water pressure of every part, etc. were studied. a) The relation of overflow water-level at siphon inlet and deflector When the elevation of the deflector is 10. 65m and the form of deflector O.4m long is the hypotenuse of an $45^{\circ}$ isosceles triangle, the over flow water-level is the minimum, i. e. the siphonage was excellent. There is no effect by the rising of overflow water-Ievel between 11.95m to 1O.65m of deflector elevation (in the first plan, it is 11.05m). But the overflow water-level rises remarkably in the outside region of the above limits. b) The relation of overflow water-level, the length of cushion and standard height of the base. The reduction of the length of cushion brings the rising of overflow waterlevel, and the rising of the standard height of the base brings the rising of overflow water level. For the long cushion length and low standard height of the base, it cannot be expeted to have the falling of overflow water-level. The most satisfactory data were obtained at 5.20m of the base standard height and 6.1m of the length of cushion. The first vah,le planned was 5.70 m and 4.30m.

본 연구는 siphon의 수리학적 현상을 이용하여 배수를 제어하는 Cherepnov 송수기의 효율적인 양정(유입수조의 수면과 송수관 출구의 위치차)을 결정하기 위한 실험적 연구이다. 본 송수기는 물 자체가 가지고 있는 위치에너지에 의하여 작동되어지며, 송수기의 구조는 상단 개구부를 갖는 1개의 수조와 밀폐된 2개의 수조, 5개의 관 그리고 2개의 역지변이 상호 연결되어 있다. 양정과 낙하고 비(H$$/H$$)의 변화에 대한 본 송수기의 수리학적 거동과 작동특성을 조사 연구하기 위하여 각 수조내의 수위와 압력변화를 측정하였으며, 송수기의 수조와 연결관의 직경이 송수기의 양정과 낙하고 비(H$$/H$$)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 실험에 의하여 송수기의 효율을 높일 수 있는 효율적인 양정은 낙하고의 약 1/2배 정도이었다. 따라서 효율적인 Cherepnov 송수기를 제작하기 위하여는 낙하고를 양정의 2배정도로 설계해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 수조크기가 효율에 미치는 영향은 5% 이하인 반면 관의 크기가 효율에 미치는 영향은 관크기에 따라 증가되었다.

농업용 저수지의 경우, 인위적인 홍수조절 기능이 없어 홍수 발생 시 급격한 저수지 수위상승에 따른 월류로 인해 제체의 파괴위험이 높고, 예 경보 없이 상류에서 유입되는 홍수량을 그대로 방류하여 하류 지역에 농경지 침수 등 홍수피해가 발생할 위험성이 높다. 본 연구에서는 경상북도 상주시에 위치한 지평저수지를 대상으로 수문분석을 실시하여 설계홍수량(200년 빈도의 1.2배)을 산정하고, 저수지 추적기법을 통해 기존 여수로와 사이펀 여수로 설치에 따른 저수지 홍수조절능력을 비교 분석하여 사이펀 여수로의 홍수조절 효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 지평저수지의 설계홍수량은 $284.3m^3/s$, 로 산정되었으며, 사이펀 여수로의 사전방류를 통해 수위가 약 40cm 정도 하강하고 방류량은 $91m^3/s$, 정도 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다.

The dissociative culture technique of Aplysia neuron is one of the key methods that have been used for studies of cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuronal functioning. However, despite the advantages this method offers as an experimental model, its technical efficiency has had room for improvement. In this study, we examined certain putative factors that might affect the culture quality. The effects of neuronal damage induced by physical injuries, heat shock, and surface protein degradation were evaluated along with the correlation between the culture quality and animal behavior. As a result, we found that physical injury can be a critical factor that affects culture quality, whereas the heat shock and surface protein degradation had negligible effect on it. In addition, we discovered that siphon retraction time was not a good measurement for healthy neurons. Based on these findings, we suggest here an improved method in which the degree of physical injury is reduced by means of multiple protease treatment.

Background: Ginkgo biloba extract is used in disorser of cerebral and peripheral blood circulation, dysfunction of brain, atherosclerosis etc., but there are little study about GbE in oriental medicine. We wished to assessthe efficacy of GbE for the treatment of cerebral infarction Method : The study group comprised 40 patients who arrived at hospital during 48 hours after attack. All patient were devided into two group. The control group was treated with Uhuangcheongsimhuan, Seonghyangjeonggisan, acupuncture therapy only, while the GbE group was treated with above therapy plus 5 days of administration of GbE(40mg three times per day). Result: 1. Symptom improve scores did not showed significant difference between control and GbE group. 2. Vasoreactivity of carotid siphon increased significantly in GbE group after treatment (in the left only : p<0.05). 3. Vasorcactivity of radial artery increased significantly in GbE group after treatment(in the right only ; p<0.05). 4. PT, a-PTT, Fibrinogen did not showed significant changes between before and after treatment in both group. Conclusion: These findings suggest that vasoreactivity increasing effect of GbE may be useful in the prevention and treatment of cerebral infarction. But the vasoreactivity increasing effect of GbE may be different from symptom imroving.

A two-phase natural circulation test using SMART integral test loop (SMART-ITL) was conducted to explore thermo-hydraulic phenomena of two-phase natural circulation in the SMART reactor. Specifically, the test examined the natural circulation in the primary loop under a stepwise coolant inventory loss while keeping the core power constant at 5% of the scaled full power. Based on the test results, three flow regimes were observed: single-phase natural circulation (SPNC), two-phase natural circulation (TPNC), and boiler-condenser natural circulation (BCNC). The flow rate remained steady in the SPNC, slightly increased in the TPNC, and dropped abruptly and maintained in the BCNC. Using a natural circulation flow map, the natural circulation characteristic in the SMART-ITL was compared with those in pressurized water reactor simulators. In the SMART-ITL, a BCNC regime appeared instead of siphon condensation and reflux condensation regimes because of the use of once-through steam generators.

살아 있는 개량조개 속에 들어 있는 토사의 배출에 대하여 실험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 토사는 주로 입수관 및 출수관 주변, 아가미 주변, mantle주변 그리고 중장선을 위시한 소화 기관 속에 존재하였다. 그리고 소화기관 속에 들어 있는 모래의 크기는 $180\times10\mu\~550\times200\mu$정도의 극히 작은 것들이었다. 2) 시료를 밑바닥에 깔아 놓은 것과 중간층에 수하시킨 것 그리고 단층으로 깔든지 또는 수하시킨 것과 두껍게 깔든지 또는 수하시킨 것 사이에 토사의 배출에 있어 뚜렷한 차이는 찾아 볼 수 없었다. 3) 개량조개는 처음 1시간 정화시키면 약 $50\%$의 토사를 배출하며, $22\~26$ 시간만에 배출물의 양이 거의 일정한 값에 도달하지만, 배출물 속에 토사가 배출되지 않을 때까지는 약 42시간 소요되었다. 4) 토사의 배출에 미치는 PH의 영향을 보면 개량조개가 살고 있는 환경 해수보다 약 1정도 높은 쪽(pH 8.75)이 빨랐다. 5) 토사의 배출에 미치는 온도의 영향은 개량조개가 살고 있는 환경 해수의 온도 때가 온도를 더 높였을 때보다 토사의 배출이 빨랐다. 6) 토사의 배출에 미치는 염분 농도의 영향은 개량조개가 살고 있는 환경 해수의 염분 농도($30.61\%_{\circ}$)보다 약 배로 묽은 쪽($15.14\%_{\circ}$)이 배출이 빨랐다.
