Arrhythmia causes sudden cardiac death. In the past, there were medical limitations in finding the cause of arrhythmia. As an alternative solution for research of arrhythmia, there have been studies to find the causes of arrhythmia by producing a virtual heart model. Medically, arrhythmia has two main causes: abnormal occurrence of action potential and abnormal conduction of action potential. Based on these, the tachycardia, which is one of the arrhythmia, was manifested and the phenomenon of ventricular fibrillation was numerically analyzed in this study. For this purpose, an electrophysiological model of ventricular cells was implemented, which was subsequently applied to the reaction-diffusion partial differential equation to interpret the macroscopic conduction phenomenon in two-dimensional tissues. The ventricular fibrillation refers to a condition where several irregular waves occur in cardiac tissue, whose generation mechanism is pathologically related to the cardiac tissue.

A simple and useful model of light distribution for the biologhical tissue to the Gaussian beam is proposed. This model assumes that the incident Gaussian beam broadens into two Gaussian beams, travelling in the opposite directions as the result of both isotropic scattering and absorption in the tissue. With this assumption, two-dimensional light intensity of each flux as well as the equations of both absorption and scattering have been derived, and the validity of modeling has been confirmed experimentally. Consequently, the results paved a way for easy evaluation of the light distribution in the biological tissue.

In this study, we present the computational analysis of cardiac arrhythmias that is the major cause of human sudden cardiac death. First, electric excitation and condution in one dimensional cardiac tissue model is solved and the results on condution block are represented. In two dimensional model, vortex daynamics in cardiac tissue is analyzed to delineate the breakup phenomenon inducing ventricular fibrillation. We also simulated a three dimenional heart model to see the vortex breakup and explained the mechanism in physiological aspect.

In this paper, we consider the chemotaxis-haptotaxis model of tumor invasion with the proliferation and tissue re-establishment term in dimensions one and two. We show the global in time existence of a unique classical solution for the the model in two dimensional spatial domain without any restrictions on the coefficients.

Two-dimensional (2D) cell culture and in vivo cancer model systems have been used to understand cancer biology and develop drug delivery systems for cancer therapy. Although cell culture and in vivo model studies have provided critical contribution about disease mechanism, these models present important problems. 2D tissue culture models lack of three dimensional (3D) structure, while animal models are expensive, time consuming, and inadequate to reflect human tumor biology. Up to the present, scaffolds and 3D matrices have been used for many different clinical applications in regenerative medicine such as heart valves, corneal implants and artificial cartilage. While tissue engineering has focused on clinical applications in regenerative medicine, scaffolds can be used in in vitro tumor models to better understand tumor relapse and metastasis. Because 3D in vitro models can partially mimic the tumor microenvironment as follows. This review focuses on different scaffold production techniques and polymer types for tumor model applications in cancer tissue engineering and reports recent studies about in vitro 3D polymeric tumor models including breast, ewing sarcoma, pancreas, oral, prostate and brain cancers.

Computation of three dimensional dose distribution using CT image and RT plan was applied to a case of pituitary adenoma. Algorithm was based on two dimensional Tissue Maximun Ratio model extended to the third dimension. The resulting isodose curve of transeverse, coronal and sagittal section was demonstrated. This RT plan allows computation of dose distribution in any arbitarily defined plane in addition to conventional cross sectional view.

Pulsed Er:YAG and $CO_2$ lasers induced temperature rise of tissue are studied using axisymmetric, two-dimensional, and transient Pennes' bio-heat equation or the implications of skin resurfacing. Model results indicate that Er:YAG laser induced temperature has much higher but more shallow distribution in tissue than that of the $CO_2$ laser because of its higher absorption coefficient. The increase of repetition rate does not affect the temperature rise too much because these laser modalities have much shorter heat diffusion time than the temporal length of each off-pulse. This model works as a tool to understand the photothermal effect in the laser-tissue interaction.

Y.C. Fung[1]에 의한 연조직의 점탄성에 관한 수학적 모델이론 (Fung's Quasi-linear vlscoelastic theory)을 이용하여 인간의 인두조직의 점탄성(vlscoelatlcity)특성을 측정하기 위하여 반복성하중(cyclic load) ,응력완화 (tensile stress relaxation), incremental load, 그리고 일축성인장 (uniaxial tensile) 시험 등을 실시하였다. 실험적으로 측정한 인두조직의 점탄성특성이 이미 조사된 다른 조직의 점탄성특성과 정량적으로 비교되었다. 인두조직의 점탄성특성의 정량화를 위하여 Y.C.Fung의 수학적 모델이 적용되었는데 응력완화(tensile stress relaxation) 시험 측정결과로부터 도출된 표준화된 응력완화(reduced stress relaxation)함수 G(t)와 일축성인장(uniaxial tensile)시험에서 도출된 탄성반응(elastic response)함수 5(t)를 이용하여 시간에 따른 응력의 궤적을 산출하여 이를 반복성 하중(cyclic load)실험에서 측정된 결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 이러한 인두조직의 점탄성특성에 관한 연구결과는 향후 유한요소를 이용한 인두의 생체역학적 모델의 기본 데이터로 이용될 수 있다.
