This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.

목적 : 국소 진행된 비인강암으로 유도 화학요법 혹은 동시 화학요법 및 방사선 치료를 받은 환자들의 부작용 및 단기 생존율을 비교하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1989년 10월부터 1998년 5월까지, 비인강암으로 진단받고 유도 화학요법 혹은 동시 화학요법 및 방사선 치료를 받은 62명의 환자들을 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 유도 화학요법군은 50명, 동시 화학요법군은 12명이었다. 나이, 성, 전신 수행능력, 조직학적 유형 등은 양군에서 비교적 고르게 분포하였다. 병기 분포는, 유도 화학요법군의 경우 IIB가 $32\%$, III가 $30\%$, 그리고 IV가 $38\%$였으며, 동시 화학요법군은 각각 50, 33.3, $16.7\%$였다. 양군에서 화학요법 약제는 CF (cisplatin and 5-FU)였고, 약제 투여 방법은 동일하였다. Cisplatin $100\;mg/m^2$을 day 1에, 5-FU $1,000\;mg/m^2$을 day $2\~6$에 각각 정맥투여하였으며 3주 간격으로 반복하였다. 방사선 치료 종료시까지 시행된 화학요법의 횟수는 양군 모두 테$1\~3$회(중앙값 2회)였다. 방사선 치료는 양군 모두 일일선량 $1.8\~2.0\;Gy$를 주 5회 조사하였다. 총 방사선량은, 유도 화학요법군의 경우 $69.4\~86\;Gy$ (중앙 선량 73.4 Gy), 동시 화학요법군은 $69.4\~75.4\;Gy$ (중앙 선량 70.8 Gy)였다. 추적기간은, 유도 화학요법군의 경우 $9\~l16$개월(중앙값 40.5개월), 동시 화학요법군은 $14\~29$개월(중앙값 21개월)이었다. 결과 : 전체 환자에서 2년 생존율은 $78.7\%$였다. 치료 방법별 2년 전체 생존율은, 유도 화학요법군이 $77\%$, 동시 화학요법군은 $87\%$였으며(p>0.05), 2년 무병 생존율은 각각 $56\%$ 와 $81\%$였다(p>0.05). 최종 치료에 대한 완전 관해율은 $75.5\%$와 $91.7\%$로 동시 화학요법군에서 높았으나 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 방사선 치료시 grade $3\~4$의 혈액학적 독성은 양군에서 차이가 없었고, grade 2의 백혈구 감소가 동시 화학요법군에서 많았다 $(18\%\;vs\;66.7\%)$. Grade $3\~4$의 점막염은 동시 화학요법군에서 많았다$(4.0\%\;vs\;33.3\%)$. 전체적으로 grade $3\~4$의 급성 부작용이 동시 화학요법군에서 빈번하였고$(6.0\%\;vs\;41.7\%,\;p=0.005)$, 부작용으로 사망한 경우는 없었다. 결론 : 국소 진행된 비인강암에서 동시 화학요법을 시행함으로써 치료의 반응율과 2년 무병 생존율이 향상되는 경향을 보였으나, 통계학적 의의는 없었다. 따라서, 좀더 많은 대조군과 장기 추적관찰이 요구된다.

목적 : 종괴가 큰 병기 IB, IIA와 IIB 자궁경부암 환자에서 방사선치료와 근막외 자궁적출술(extrafascial hysterectomy)의 효과를 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 1986년 4월부터 1997년 12월까지 계명대학교 동산의료원 치료방사선과에서 큰 종괴로 방사선치료를 받고 잔여종양(residual lesion)이 의심되어 근막외 자궁적출술을 받은 자궁경부암환자 24명을 대상으로 하였다. 환자의 분포는 병기 IB, IIA가 각각 7명, 9명, 병기 IIB가 8명 이었고 평균연령은 42세이었다. 병리조직학적으로 편평상피암이 16명, 선암이 8명이었고 종괴의 크기는 5cm미만이 7명, 5cm이상이 17명이었다. 방사선치료후 근막외 자궁적 출술까지의 평균 기간은 57일이었다. 방사선치료는 외부 방사선치료로 전골반강에 하루에 180cGy씩 평균 5000cGy를 조사하였으며 평균 4100cGy후 4${\times}$10cm 중간차폐를 하였고 A 지점에 전체 조사량이 평균 7500cGy(최대 8500cGy)가 되도록 고선량 강내조사를 시행하였다. 최장기 및 중앙 추적기간은 각각 107개월, 42개월이었다. 결과 : 전체 환자중 근막외 자궁적출술을 시행한 조직에서 잔여종양이 있는 환자는 41.7%(10/24)이었으며 5년 생존률과 5년 무병생존률은 각각 63.6% 62.5% 이었다. 병기별 5년 생존률은 IB, IIA, IIB에서 각각 71.4%, 71.4%,%이었다. 5년 생존률과 5년 무병생존률은 잔여종양의 유무에 따라 83.3% 대 40%(P=0.01), 83.3% 대 36%(P=0.01)로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 선암이 편평상피암보다 높은 5년생존률과 5년무병생존률[(85.7% 대 53.3%(P=0.1), 85.7% 대 50.9%(P=0.1)로 유의한 경향을 보였다. A지점 조사량에 따른(7500cGy이하, 7500cGy이상) 잔여종양의 유무와 생존률에 차이는 없었다. 잔여종양이 있는 경우에서 없는 경우보다 통계적으로 유의하게 국소재발(5/10, 0/l4, P=0.003)이 많았다. 치료에 의한 사망은 없었다. 결론 : 방사선치료후 잔여종양이 의심되는 종괴의 크기가 큰 자궁경부암에서는 방사선량을 증가 시킴에도 불구하고 잔여종양의 유무와 생존률에 차이가 없었다. 선암의 경우는 환자의 수는 적으나 방사선치료와 근막외 자궁적출술이 상당히 높은 생존률을 보이므로 더 많은 환자를 대상으로 연구하여 근막외 자궁적출술이 선암환자의 생존에 미치는 영향을 확인 할 필요가 있겠다.

목적 : Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE)는 혈액순환개선효과가 있어 기존의 방사선민감제와 달리 혈류저항이 높은 악성종양에서 저산소세포 분획을 줄일 수 있으나 아직까지는 실제 임상에서 사용되는 저선량 분할 방사선조사시에도 GBE가 방사선조사 효과의 증대를 나타내는지 밝혀지지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 저선량 분할 방사선조사시 GBE가 방사선조사효과증대를 나타내는지, 또한 정상조직과 악성종양의 혈류량 분포에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 통상적인 범위의 저산소세포 분획을 가진 C3H 마우스의 섬유육종(FSall)을 마우스 우측하지에 이식한 후 종양직경이 7 mm에 도달하였을 때 마우스 체중 kg당 100 mg의 GBE를 방사선조사 25시간 전과 매회 1시간 전에 복강내 투여 후 방사선을 조사하였다. 3 Gy 내지 12 Gy의 방사선을 일회 조사시 GBE투여군과 방사선단독조사군의 종양성장지연기간을 비교하여 GBE에 의한 방사선효과 증강율을 구하였다. 3 Gy씩 10회의 분할 방사선조사시 방사선 단독조사군의 방사선량-종양성장지연기간(tumor growth delay, TGD)의 관계식을 구하여 두 실험군의 선형회귀직선 기울기의 비율, 즉 GBE에 의한 방사선효과 증강율을 구하였다. 같은 종양을 이용하여 레이저 도플러 혈류측정기로 정상근육과 종양의 혈류량을 측정함으로써 저혈류 분포의 차이가 존재하는지 확인하였고, GBE 투여에 의한 혈류량분포의 변화 여부를 관찰하였다. 결과 : 3 Gy 내지 12 Gy의 방사선을 일회 조사시 GBE투여군의 종양성장지연기간이 방사선단독조사군에 비하여 의미있게 증가되었으며(p<0.05), GBE에 의한 방사선효과 증강율은 3일 종양성장지연 기준으로 1.16이었다. 3 Gy씩 10회의 분할 방사선조사시 방사선 단독조사군의 방사선량-종양성장지연기간(tumor growth delay, TGD)의 관계는 TGD $(days)=0.26{\times}D$ (Gy)+0.13, GBE 병용군의 경우 TGD $(days)=0.30{\times}D$ (Gy)+0.13이었고 두 실험군의 직선 기울기의 비율, 즉 GBE에 의한 방사선효과 증강율은 1.19 ($95\%$ 신뢰구간: $1.13\~1.27$)로 나타났다. 같은 종양을 이용하여 레이저 도플러 혈류측정기로 혈류량을 측정한 결과, 혈류량의 분포는 모두 Poisson 분포와 비슷한 양상을 보였다. 정상근육의 혈류량은 평균 10.15 mL/100 g/min, 종양의 혈류량은 평균 7.78 mL/100 g/min으로 종양의 평균 혈류량이 근육에 비하여 낮게 나타났고(p=0.001), 2 mL/100 g/min 이하의 저혈류 분포는 정상근육에 비하여 종양에서 높게 나타났다($0.5\%$ 대 $5.2\%$, p=0.005). 정상근육에서는 GBE 투여에 의하여 혈류량 분포에 큰 변화가 없었던 반면, 종양에서는 2 mL/100 g/min 이하의 저혈류량 분포가 감소하였고, 평균 혈류량은 $23.5\%$ 증가되었다(p=0.0004). 결론 : GBE는 방사선 일회 조사시 뿐만 아니라 분할조사시에도 방사선치료의 효과를 유의하게 증가시켰다. 또한 정상근육에 비하여 종양의 혈류량을 선택적으로 증가시킴이 확인되었다.

목적 : 종양의 크기가 5cm 이상인 병기 Ib, IIa와 IIb 자궁경부암 환자에서 다분할 외부방사선 치료와 강내 치료의 효과를 알아 보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 1991년 7월부터 1994년 4월까지 계명대학교 동산의료원 치료방사선과에서 다분할 방사선치료를 받은 자궁경부암환자 41명을 대상으로 하였다. 환자의 분포는 종양의 크기가 5cm 이상의 병기 Ib, IIa가 각각 3명, 6명, 병기 IIb가 32명이었고 평균연령은 55세이었다. 방사선 치료는 외부방사선치료로 전골반강에 하루에 120cGy를 2회(최소 5시간 같격) 조사하여 3600-5520cGy 조사하고 양측자궁경관주위에 조사량이 4480-6480cGy 되도록 4x loom 중간차폐를 하여 조사한 후 A 지점에 전체 조사량이 Ib,IIa에는 7480-8520cGy, IIb에는 8480-9980cGy 되도록 강내조사를 시행하였다. 최장기 및 중앙 추적기간은 각각 70개월, 47개월이었다. 통계적으로 생존률과 단일변수분석은 각각 Kaplan-Myer법과 Log-rank 법을 이용하였다. 결과: 5년 국소제어률은 $78\%$이었고 5년 생존률은 전체환자에서 $66.1\%$이였었고 병기 Ib, IIa 에서 $44.4\%$, 병기 IIb에서 $71.4\%$이었다. 종양의 크기가 5cm 이상인 IIb(11명)에서 5년 국소제어률과 5년생존률이 각각 $88.9\%,\;73\%$이었다. 5년 생존률이 림프절전이 유무에 따라 $74\%\;vs\;25\%$(P=0.0015)로 유의하게 차이가 있었다. A 지점의 선량(84Gy 이상 vs 840y 이하)에 따른 생존률의 차이는 $70\%\;vs\;42.8\%$(P=0.1)로 나타났으며 병기 Ib,IIa에서 IIb보다 낮은 국소제어률과 생존율을 보인 것은 A 지점의 평균 선량이 Ib, IIa에서는 79Gy, IIb에서는 89Gy로 유의한 차이가 나는 것이 요인이 될 것으로 사료된다. 전체 재발률은 $39\%$(16/41)이었고 국소재발이 $14\%$(6/41) 원격전이가 $19.5\%$(8/41) 동시재발이 $4.8\%$(2/41)이었다. 부작용으로는 급성 3도 위장관계 부작용이 3명 $(7.3\%)$에서 있었고 3도의 백혈구 감소증이 2명$(4.9\%)$에서 있었으며 3도 이상의 만성 부작용은 없었고 치료에 의한 사망은 없었다. 결론 :다분할 방사선 치료시 종양의 크기가 큰 Ib,IIa에서는 A지점의 방사선량을 85Gy 이상으로 높일 필요가 있을 것으로 사료되며 종양의 크기가 5cm 이상의 병기 IIb인 자궁경부암 환자에서 다분할 방사선치료와 근접방사선치료는 심각한 합병증 없이 시행될 수 있을 것으로 생각되며 생존률의 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료되나 환자의 수가 적으므로 더 많은 환자를 대상으로 장기간의 추적을 통해 검증되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

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.

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.
