적혈구(赤血球) 수명의 측정에는 $^{51}Cr$-표지적혈구법(標識赤血球法)이 임상적(臨床的)으로 이용(利用)되고 있으며 이는 이론상(理論上) steady state 즉(卽) 측정기간(測定期間)동안 순환(循環) $^{51}Cr$량(量)-적혈구량(赤血球量)이 일정(一定)할 때에 한(限)하여 유효(有效)하며 unsteady state 때는 true red cell survival을 알기 위하여서는 측정치에 영향을 주는 요인(要因)에 대하여 각각(各各) 교정(校正)해 줄 필요(必要)가 있다. 이 요인(要因)중에 특히 실혈(失血)로 인(因)한 영향에 관(關)하여는 계통적인 연구(硏究)가 적다. 이에 저자(著者)들은 $^{51}Cr$표지적혈구법(標識赤血球法)을 이용(利用)하여 실혈(失血)이 적혈구(赤血球) 수명측정(測定)에 미치는 영향을 인체(人體)에서 실험 관찰하여 몇가지 성적을 얻었다. 연구대상(硏究對象)은 총(總) 56명(名)의 청장년(靑壯年)으로 급성실혈군(急性失血群)과 만성실혈군(慢性失血群)으로 구분(區分)하여 급성실혈군(急性失血群)은 위장출혈등(胃腸出血等)이 없는 2대(代)의 의대생(醫大生)으로 $^{51}Cr$표지적혈구법(標識赤血球法)을 사용하여 적혈구(赤血球) 수명을 측정하는 동안($10{\sim}14$ 일간(日間)) 1일당(日當) 10ml(6명(名)), 25ml(4명(名)), 50ml(4명(名)), 75ml(4명(名)), 100ml(6명(名))를 각각(各各) 사혈(瀉血)한 군(群)과 10일간(日間) 1,000ml를 사혈한 군(群) 즉 200ml씩 5회(回)(4명(名)), 500ml씩 2회(回)(4명(名))로 세분(細分)하였으며 만성실혈군(慢性失血群)은 직업적인 공혈자(供血者)로 반복사혈로 생긴 9명(名)의 빈혈자와 십이지장충증(十二指腸蟲症)에 감염(感染)되어 구충(驅蟲)한 중등도(中等度)의 철결핍성 빈혈환자 7명(名)으로 나누어 관찰하였다. 측정(測定) 방법(方法)으로는 Gray 및 Sterling법(法)을 개설한 방법(方法)으로 $^{51}Cr$표지적혈구(標識赤血球)의 계측시료(計測試料)로서 전혈(全血) 및 적혈구(赤血球)를 사용(使用)하였다. 실험(實驗)성적은 1. 1일당(日當) 실혈량(失血量)이 증가(增加)할수록 적혈구(赤血球)수명($T\frac{1}{2}$)은 짧아짐을 알 수 있었다. 즉(卽) 1일당(日當) $20{\sim}50ml$ 사혈군에서는 $T\frac{1}{2}$이 현저히 짧아지는 rapid phase을 나타내고 1일당(日當) 50ml이상(以上) 사혈군에서는 짧아지는 정도(程度)가 완만한 slow phase을 나타낸다(Fig. 6). 2. 1일량(日量) 10ml 및 25ml식(式) 사혈한 군(群)의 적혈구수명(赤血球壽命)을 측정(測定)하는데 있어 적혈구(赤血球)를 사용하였을 때에는 $T\frac{1}{2}$측 정치에 유의한 차(差)가 없었으며 이 범위 내에서는 Hct., Hb. 및 혈청철치(血淸鐵値)도 역시 유의한 차(差)가 없었다. 3. 1일량(日量) 50ml 및 75ml, 100ml씩 사혈한 군(群)에서는 적혈구(赤血球)만을 사용(使用)하였을 때와 전혈(全血)을 시료(試料)로 하였을 때 사이에 $T\frac{1}{2}$의 측정치에 유의한 차(差)가 있었으며 이 때는 Hct., Hb. 및 혈청철치(血淸鐵値)에도 변화(變化)가 있었다. 즉(卽), 전혈(全血)을 사용한 적혈구(赤血球) 수명($T\frac{1}{2}$)의 측정치가 적혈구(赤血球)만를 사용(使用)한 적혈구(赤血球) 수명($T\frac{1}{2}$)의 측정치 보다 짧았다. 4. 일정(一定)기간(10 일(日)) 사혈의 총량(1000ml)이 같을 매는 200ml를 5회(回) 사혈한 군(群)이나 500ml를 2회(回) 사혈한 군(群) 사이에 적혈구(赤血球) 수명($T\frac{1}{2}$)에 유의(有義)한 차(差)를 볼 수 없었다. 5. 직업적 공혈자의 반복사혈로 인(因)한 만성(慢性) 빈혈환자 9명(名)에서의 $^{51}Cr$적혈구(赤血球)수명($T\frac{1}{2}$) 측정치는 평균(平均) 19.2일(日)로 짧아져 있으나 적혈구수명측정전후(赤血球壽命測定前後)에 충분(充分)한 철제(鐵劑)를 투여(投與)하여 Hct., Hb. 및 혈청철치(血淸鐵値)를 증가(增加)시켰으며 이때 볼 수 있었든 Hct치(値)를 규준(規準)하여 교정한 적혈구(赤血球)수명($T\frac{1}{2}$)은 거의 정상(正常)범위 안에 있어(27.6일(日)) 이러한 인자(因子)를 고려하지 않으면 잘못 이해할 수가 있다. 6. 구충자충(鉤蟲仔蟲)을 구충한 7명(名)의 중등도(中等度) 철(鐵)결핍성 빈혈환자에서의 적혈구(赤血球)수명($T\frac{1}{2}$) 측정치는 25일(日)$\sim$31일(日)로 평균(平均) 28일(日)이었으며, 이때 장 출혈량은 1일(日) $1.0{\sim}3.5ml$이었다. 단시일내의 급성실혈시에는 이와같은 소량의 실혈(失血)도 적혈구(赤血球)수명($T\frac{1}{2}$) 측정치에 영향을 보여 줌을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 정도의 실혈은 실험오차에 기인하는 것인지 아니면 장기 출혈에서는 이러한 소량의 실혈이 적혈구(赤血球)수명($T\frac{1}{2}$) 측정에 영향을 미치지 않는 것인지는 아직 확실히 말할 수 없다. 8. $^{51}Cr$-표지적혈구(標識赤血球)로 측정한 적혈구(赤血球)수명($T\frac{1}{2}$)은 측정시의 실혈량(失血量)에 큰 영향을 받음을 알 수 있으며 저자(著者)들은 $^{51}Cr$표지적혈구(標識赤血球)를 이용(利用)한 적혈구(赤血球) 수명 측정때 검사기간중 실혈량이 적혈구수명치(赤血球壽命値)에 미치는 관계를 상술(上述)한 실험치(實驗値)를 기초(基礎)로 하여 다음과 같을 교정식(校正式)을 고찰(考察)해 보았다. $^{51}Cr\;T\frac{1}{2}=17.0e^{-0.0495}+18.4e^{-0.000924x}$ 단(但) X : 1일(日) 실혈량(失血量)(단위(單位) ml)

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.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study.

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.

본 연구의 조사대상자는 전남 신안군 완도면 지역의 46세에서 83세 사이의 남자 88명과 여자 99명 총 187명을 대상으로 식생활의 서구화와 함께 최근 우리나라에서 급증하고 있는 심혈관질환과 당뇨병의 유발요인, 도서지역 주민의 식행동과의 관련성에 관한 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 전보에서 보고한 바와 같이(41) 조사대상자의 남녀 평균 연령은 각각 65.14세, 64.92세였고 평균 신장은 161.16 cm, 151.64 cm, 평균 체중은 63.03 kg, 56.46 kg, 평균 BMI는 24.33 $kg/m^2$, 24.48 $kg/m^2$, 평균 WHR은 0.94, 0.94였다. 일주일간의 아침식사 횟수는 남녀 모두 연령별, 성별 차이는 없었다. 매일 아침식사를 하는 사람은 남자 88.6%, 여자 96.0%로 여자의 매일 아침식사 비율이 남자보다 높았다. 과식정도는 남자는 연령 군별 차이가 있었고(p<0.01) 여자는 연령과 성별에 따른 차이는 없었다. 남자는 연령이 낮은 집단일수록 과식횟수가 유의적으로 많았는데(p<0.01) 여자도 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 이는 활동량과 현업종사 등의 이유일 것으로 보인다. 식사시간의 규칙성은 남녀 각각 규칙적 식사 38.6%, 37.4%, 때때로 규칙적 14.8%, 19.2%, 불규칙 46.6%, 43.4%로 각 군별 차이는 없었다. 식사량은 남자는 연령에 따라 차이가 없었으나 여자는 차이가 있었다(p<0.001). 여자는 나이가 많은 연령 군일수록 적게 먹었으며 많이 먹는다고 한 군은 60세 이하가 가장 많았고(69.2%) 연령 군별 식사량은 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 식사속도는 남녀 모두 연령별로 유의적인 차이가 있었고(p<0.05, p<0.01) 성별에 따른 차이도 있었다(p< 0.001). 남자는 빠르게(67%) 여자는 보통보다 느리게(67.5%) 먹는 것으로 나타났으며 성별에 따른 식사속도의 차이가 있었다(p<0.001). 아침식사 횟수는 매일, 주당 1${\sim}$2회, 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 사람의 혈중 중성지방 수준이 남자는 각각 151.88 mg/dL, 120.25 mg/dL, 175.00 mg/dL, 여자는 각각 145.78 mg/dL, 95.00 mg/dL, 100.00 mg/dL로써 세군 간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. Total-cholesterol은 아침식사를 매일, 주당 1${\sim}$2회, 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 군이 남자는 각각 195.78 mg/dL, 161.00 mg/dL, 160.00 mg/dL로 매일 먹는 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 높았고(p<0.001), 여자도 각각 171.24 mg/dL, 90.00 mg/dL, 88.50 mg/dL로 남자와 마찬가지로 매일 먹는 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.001). 이 지역 주민의 혈청 콜레스테롤 평균이 한국인 정상 범위에 속하긴 하였으나 매일 아침식사를 하지 않는 여자의 혈청 총콜레스테롤이 108 mg/dL에도 미치지 못하는 것은 연령, 빈도의 차이 등 여러 요인이 있을 것으로 생각된다. 동맥경화 유발인자 중 하나인 LDL-cholesterol은 남자가 매일 먹는 군이 가장 낮게 나타났으며 여자는 아침식사를 매일, 주당 1${\sim}$2회, 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 군이 각각 112.80 mg/dL, 70.00 mg/dL, 78.00 mg/dL로 매일 아침식사를 하는 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). HDL-cholesterol은 남자는 세군 간에 차이를 보이지는 않았으며 여자는 아침식사를 매일, 주당 1${\sim}$2회, 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 군이 각각 49.39 mg/dL, 75.00 mg/dL, 72.00 mg/dL로 아침식사를 매일 하는 군에 비해 다른 두 군이 유의적으로 낮게 나타나 이는 지질대사의 변화와 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다(p<0.001). Atherogenic index는 아침식사를 매일, 주당 1${\sim}$2회, 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 사람 군이 남자는 각각 2.08, 2.87, 1.26으로 아침을 1${\sim}$2회 먹는 군과 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 군 사이에 유의적인 차이를 보였고(p<0.001), blood sugar는 남녀 모두 각 군별 유의적인 차이가 없었으며 본 조사대상자의 평균은 정상 범위에 있었다. 과식 정도에 따른 혈중지질, 혈당 수준을 살펴보면 혈중 중성지방은 남자는 일주일에 0${\sim}$1회, 2${\sim}$3회 과식이 각각 130.65 mg/dL, 154.06 mg/dL로 일주일에 2${\sim}$3회 과식하는 군이 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 여자는 차이가 없었다. Total cholesterol은 남자가 일주일에 0${\sim}$1회, 2${\sim}$3회 과식하는 군이 각각 191.39 mg/dL, 181.76 mg/dL, 여자는 각각 167.92 mg/dL, 168.00 mg/dL로 남자는 0${\sim}$1회 과식하는 군이, 여자는 2${\sim}$3회 과식하는 군이 높게 조사되어 여성의 경우 남성과는 다른 양상을 보였는데 이는 본 연구대상 여성은 46세 이상으로 대부분이 폐경이 되어 지질대사의 변화와 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다. LDL-cholesterol은 남자는 차이가 없었으며 여자는 각각 112.63 mg/dL, 98.80 mg/dL로 일주일에 2${\sim}$3회 과식하는 군이 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.05). HDL-cholesterol은 남자 각각 58.76 mg/dL, 51.59 mg/dL, 여자 각각 50.93 mg/dL, 45.30 mg/dL로 과식 횟수가 적은 군이 높게 나타나 좋은 식습관이 심혈관질환을 예방하는 것으로 알려진 HDL-cholesterol의 농도를 높이는 것으로 볼 수 있다. Atherogenic index는 남자가 각각 1.87, 2.19로 과식 횟수가 많은 군이 높은 경향을 보였고, 여자는 2.50, 2.43으로 남자와는 반대의 결과를 보였고 여자는 0${\sim}$1회 과식하는 군이 HDL-cholesterol이 높은데도 atherogenic index가 높은 것은 여성의 경우 폐경을 전후로 에스트로겐이 감소하여 당대사 및 지질대사에 영향을 미치기 때문으로 보인다. Blood sugar는 남자가 각각 84.34 mg/dL, 95.59 mg/dL로 일주일에 2${\sim}$3회 과식하는 군이 유의적으로 높았고(p<0.05), 여자도 각각 90.19 mg/dL, 99.80 mg/dL로 남자와 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 식사시간이 규칙적, 때때로 규칙적, 불규칙적인 군들 간에 혈중 중성지방은 유의성은 없지만 두군 모두 식사 시간이 불규칙적인 군이 높게 나타났다. Total-cholesterol은 남자가 각각 177.79 mg/dL, 216.85 mg/dL, 190.61 mg/dL로 식사시간이 때때로 불규칙적인 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 높았고(p<0.05), 여자는 각각 157.43 mg/dL, 159.53 mg/dL, 181.81 mg/dL로 식사시간이 규칙적인 군과 불규칙적인 군이 유의적인 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). LDL-cholesterol은 두군 모두 유의적인 차이는 없었다. HDL-cholesterol은 남자는 각각 54.49 mg/dL, 54.69 mg/dL, 50.50 mg/dL로 식사시간이 불규칙적인 군이 다른 두 군보다 낮았고 여자는 각각 49.58 mg/dL, 53.05 mg/dL, 49.89 mg/dL로 때때로 불규칙적인 군이 가장 높게 나타나 혈청지질은 연령, 성별, 식습관, 생활양식 등에 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Blood sugar는 남자가 각각 75.35 mg/dL, 115.31 mg/dL, 86.63 mg/dL로 때때로 불규칙적인 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 높았고(p<0.01), 여자는 각각 79.00 mg/dL, 89.59 mg/dL, 99.56 mg/dL로 불규칙적인 군이 규칙적인 군에 비해 유의적으로 높아(p<0.05), 식사시간이 불규칙적일수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 평소의 식사량이 적은 군, 보통, 많이 먹는 군의 남자는 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 보통 이상 먹는 군의 혈중 지질수준이 높았고 여자는 각각 148.69 mg/dL, 133.59 mg/dL, 148.69 mg/dL로 보통으로 먹는 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.05). Total-cholesterol과 LDL-cholesterol은 남녀 모두 많이 먹는 군이 가장 높게 조사되었다. HDL-cholesterol은 남녀 모두 적게 먹는 군이 가장 높게 조사되었다. Atherogenic index는 남녀 모두 식사량이 많을수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다. Blood sugar는 남녀 모두 유의성은 없지만 식사량이 많을수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 식사량이 많으면 total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, atherogenic index, blood sugar는 높고 HDL-cholesterol은 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 식사속도는 매우 빨리, 빨리, 보통, 천천히, 매우 천천히 먹는다고 답한 군들의 혈중 중성지방은 남자는 각각 131.43 mg/dL, 158.11 mg/dL, 281.50 mg/dL, 112.13 mg/dL, 139.60 mg/dL로 식사 속도가 보통이라고 답한 군은 다른 군들에 비해 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.001). 여자는 각각 155.25 mg/dL, 146.91 mg/dL, 115.40 mg/dL, 165.93 mg/dL, 146.57 mg/dL로 보통인 군이 가장 낮아 남자와는 상반된 결과를 보였고, 보통과 매우 빠르다, 천천히 먹는다고 한 군들 간에 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). Total-cholesterol은 남자가 각각 183.57 mg/dL, 195.18 mg/dL, 215.50 mg/dL, 188.53 mg/dL, 163.60 mg/dL로 보통이다, 매우 느리다고 한 군들 간에 유의적인 차이를 보였으며(p<0.05) 여자는 차이가 없었다. LDL-cholesterol은 남자가 각각 110.71 mg/dL, 118.07 mg/dL, 150.00 mg/dL, 125.60 mg/dL, 126.80 mg/dL로 보통이라고 답한 군이 다른 군들 간에 유의적 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). HDL-cholesterol은 남자가 각각 54.00 mg/dL, 53.62 mg/dL, 41.50 mg/dL, 54.93 mg/dL, 50.30 mg/dL로 보통 또는 천천히 먹는다고 답한 군들 간에 유의적인 차이를 보였으며(p<0.05) 여자는 차이를 보이지 않았다. Atherogenic index는 남자가 보통으로 먹는 군이, 여자는 매우 빨리와 천천히 먹는다고 답한 군이 약간 높았다. Blood sugar는 남자가 각각 81.00 mg/dL, 80.22 mg/dL, 76.50 mg/dL, 112.73 mg/dL, 87.20 mg/dL로 천천히 먹는다고 한 군이 다른 군들과 비교하여 유의적으로 높았으며(p<0.01) 여자는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 아침식사의 규칙성과 혈중지질 농도와의 관계를 살펴보면, 남녀 모두 규칙적으로 아침식사를 하는 경우에 혈청 총콜레스테롤 농도와 혈당이 높게 나타났고 특히 여자는 LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol 농도도 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 과식횟수는 남녀 모두 과식횟수가 적을수록 HDL-cholesterol 농도는 높고, 혈당은 낮았고, 남자의 경우에는 혈청 중성지방과 LDL-cholesterol 농도가 낮았다. 식사시간의 규칙성은 규칙적인 식사를 하면 남녀 모두 혈청 중성지방 농도, 총 cholesterol 농도, 동맥경화지수, 혈당이 낮았고, 여자는 LDL-cholesterol 농도도 낮았다. 한 번 먹을 때의 식사량은 남녀 모두 많이 먹으면 혈청 중성지방 농도와 총 cholesterol 및 LDL-cholesterol 농도, 동맥경화지수, 혈당이 높게 나타났고, HDL-cholesterol 농도는 남자는 낮았고 여자는 높게 조사되었다. 따라서 과식횟수가 적고 식사시간이 규칙적이며, 1회 섭취량이 적을수록 혈청내의 지질조성, 혈당 및 동맥경화지수가 적당한 상태로 나타나서 심혈관질환의 예방에 도움을 줄 수 있는 식사행동으로 보여진다. 본 결과를 토대로 중${\cdot}$장년층을 대상으로 식사의 규칙성과 섭취 적당량에 대한 영양교육도 이루어지기를 기대한다.

목적: 고선량률 강내근접치료와 외부방사선의 병합치료는 자궁경부암의 표준치료법이지만, 최적의 병합 방식 및 선량 분할 스케줄은 아직 정해지지 않고 있다. 부분적으로는 이에 영향을 미치는 인자들의 다양성 및 기존의 문헌들의 방사선 선량에 관한 자세한 정보 부족을 그 이유로 들 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 고선량률 강내근접치료에 대한 풍부한 경험을 바탕으로 단일기관에서 비교적 균일한 치료를 받은 많은 수의 환자 모집단을 대상으로 이들 다양한 인자들 및 방사선치료에 대한 자세한 분석을 통해서 최적의 방사선치료를 위한 지침을 얻고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년부터 1996년까지 연세암센터에서 고선량률 강내근접치료 및 외부방사선치료로 자궁경부암에 대한 근치적 치료를 받은 743명의 환자들을 대상으로 하였으며, 중앙추적관찰 기간은 52개월이었다. FIGO 병기 분포는 IB 198명, IIA 77명, IIB 364명, IIIA 7명, IIIB 89명, IVA 8명이었다. 전골반방사선 선량은 $23.4\~59.4$ Gy (중앙값 45 Gy)의 분포를 보였으며, 진단 시 종양의 크기 및 외부방사선치료에 대한 종양의 반응에 따라서 그 시기를 조절하는 중앙차폐는 495예에서 시행되었으며, 그 시기는 $14.4\~43.2$ Gy (중앙값 36.0 Gy)로 비교적 광범위하고 다양한 분포를 보였다. 강내근접치료와 외부방사선치료의 분할 선량 차이를 극복하기 위해 생물학적 유효선량(Biologically Effective Dose, BED) 개념을 적용하였으며, 종양 및 정상 조직에 대한 $\alpha/\beta$비는 각각 10 및 3으로 하였다. 모든 개별 환자의 직장 전벽 및 방광 흡수선량을 분석하였고, 합병증 및 골반제어율과의 상관 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 이외에도 방사선치료 스케줄에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 인자들인 총 치료기간, 강내근접치료의 분할 선량 크기, 주치의의 선호도에 따른 치료 스케줄 차이 등도 함께 고려하여 분석하였다. 결과: 전체 환자에서 RTOG Grade 1-4독성 발생률은 $33.1\%$였다. 전체 환자의 5년 골반제어율은 $83\%$로 분석되었다. 중앙차폐이전 외부방사선선량과 강내근접치료의 합산 BED값(=MD-BED $Gy_{\alpha/\beta}$은 $\alpha/\beta$=10인 경우 $62.0\~121.9\;Gy_{10}$ (중앙값: $93.0\;Gy_{10}$)의 분포를, ${\alpha/\beta}=3$인 경우 $93.6\~187.3\;Gy_3$ (중앙값=$137.6\;Gy_3$ )의 분포를 보였다. MD-BED $Gy_3$는 직장합병증 발생과의 관계는 통계적으로 유의하였고, 방광합병증과는 유의하지 않았다. 직장합병증과의 연관성은 MD-BED $Gy_3$보다 개별 환자의 직장전벽 총 선량 BED값인 R-BED $Gy_3$가 훨씬 더 높았다. 요도카테터 풍선의 후방지점이 대변하는 방광의 총 선량 BED값인 V-BED $Gy_3$도 방광합병증과 경향성 테스트에서 통계적 유의성을 보였다. 하지만, 어떠한 방사선선량도 골반제어율과 의미 있는 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 본 기관에서 주치의의 선호도에 따라 강내근접치료가 외부방사선치료의 중간에 시행되는 형태인 샌드위치기법과 외부방사선치료 후반부에 시행되는 순차적 기법으로 구분하였을 때, 두 방식간 치료성적 및 합병증의 차이는 없었다. 총 치료기간에 대한 분석에서는 치료기간이 길어질수록 재발 위험이 커지는 경향을 보였으나, 나이 및 병기, 종양의 크기, MD-BED $Gy_{10}$ 등의 예후 인자를 보정한 다변량분석에서는 치료기간이 100일 이상인 경우에만 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였다. 강내근접치료 분할선량 크기인 3 Gy와 5 Gy 사이에 골반제어율 및 합병증의 차이는 없었다. 결론: 자궁경부암의 최적방사선치료 스케줄에 대한 지침을 세우기 어렵게 만드는 가장 중요한 이유는 강내근접치료가 갖는 선량분포 특성에서 기인하는 방사선선량-골반제어율 상관 관계의 부재 및 개별 종양의 방사선에 대한 반응 속도가 환자마다 크게 다를 수 있다는 점이다. 따라서 전체적인 원칙과 함께 개인화된 맞춤치료가 필요하다. 치료 지침에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요소들의 복합적인 고려도 중요하다고 할 수 있겠다. 합병증 발생이 우려되는 경우 생물학적 유효선량을 낮추기 위해 적절한 조기 중앙차폐 및 강내근접치료의 분할선량 크기 감소를 고려해볼 수 있다.
