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.

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.

한국(韓國)에서 농업관계연구(農業關係硏究) 기관(機關)에 의해 벼도열병(病) 방제(防除)에 관(關)한 실질적(實質的)인 연구(硏究)가 시작(始作)된 것은 전북일부지방(全北一部地方)에 목도열병(病)이 격발(激發)한 다음해인 1927년(年)부터였다. 과거 55년간(年間)에 걸쳐 많은 수도관계학자(水稻關係學者), 특(特)히 식물병리학자(植物病理學者)들의 노력(努力)에도 불구하고 도열병(病)은 아직도 가장 피해(被害)가 심(甚)하고 광범위(廣範圍)하게 발생(發生)하고 있는 병(病)중의 하나이다. 벼도열병(病)은 병원균(病原菌)의 특이(特異)한 병원성(病原性)의 변이(變異)때문에 방제(防除)가 매우 어렵다. 지난 70 년 동안의 병발생(病發生) 추이조사(推移調査)에서 도열병(病)의 발생(發生) 양상(樣相)에는 잎도열병형(病型), 목도열병형(病型), 지속적(持續的)인 발생형(發生型)의 3가지 각기 다른 발생(發生) 양상(樣相)이 존재(存在)함을 알았다. 일반적(一般的)으로 도열병(病) 발생(發生)은 잎도열병(病) 발생(發生)은 적어도 목도열병(病)은 심(甚)한 소위 잎도열병(病)과 목도열병(病)의 불연속현상(不連續現象)이 존재(存在)하는 특징(特徵)이 있다고 한다. 따라서 수량(收量)에 직접 영향(影響)을 미치는 목도열병(病)의 방제(防除)에 주의를 기울여야 한다. 과거 70 년 동안의 도열병(病)에 관(關)한 광범(廣範)한 조사(調査)와 연구(硏究)에서 도열병(病) 발생(發生)을 야기(惹起)시키는 주요인(主要因)은 병진항성(病振抗性)의 역전(逆轉), 질소질비료(窒素質肥料)의 과용(過用)과 만식(晩植), 그리고 지속적(持續的)인 강우(降雨)등으로 밝혀졌다. 그동안 한국(韓國)에서는 주(主)로 그룹 A에 속하는 곡양도(穀良都), 다마금(多摩錦), 은방주(銀坊主), 풍옥(豊玉) 둥 일본형(日本型) 수도품종(水稻品種)이 30 년이상(年以上) 재배(栽培)되어 왔다는 사실이 학자(學者)들에 의해 주목(注目)되어 왔다. 도열병(病)의 경우 동일(同一)그룹내(內) 품종간(品種間)의 포장지항성 차이(差異)는 매우 적으나 때로는 역학적(疫學的)으로 상당한 차이가 발견(發見)되기도 해서 도열병(病)의 성공적(成功的)인 방제(防除)를 위해서는 포장지항성 연구(硏究)에 보다 많은 관심을 기울여야 하겠다. IR 계통(系統) 품종(品種)들에 대(對)해 질소비료과용(窒素肥料過用)은 잎도열병(病)보다 목도열병(病) 발생(發生)에 더 조장(助長)하며 질소비료(窒素肥料) 소량시비시(少量施肥時)에도 IR 계통(系統) 품종(品種)들의 목도열병(病) 발생(發生) 비교적 심(甚)했고 도열병(病) 발생(發生)에 대(對)한 저온(低溫)의 영향(影響)은 매우커서 잎도열병반(病斑)의 전염능력(傳染能力)과 수잉기(穗孕期)의 엽초내 목도열병(病)의 감염(感染)을 현저히 증가(增加)시켰다. 출수전(出穗前) 3회(回), 출수후(出穗後) 2회(回)의 약제살포(藥劑撒布)가 도열병방제(病防除)에 가장 효과적(效果的)인 것으로 추정(推定)되었으며 도열병(病)에 대(對)해 완벽(完壁)한 단독(單獨) 방제방법(防除方法)은 없고 1950년경에 작성(作成)된 혼합방제법(混合防除法)이 수도(水稻)가 재배(栽培)되는 한 가장 효과적(效果的)일 것이다.

In analyzing the operational characteristics of a rice whitening machine, the internal radial pressure of the machine was measured using strain gage equipment. Changes in cylinder and feed screw configurations, screen type, cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels were examined to determine their impact on the quality and quantity of milled rice and the performance of the machine. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The internal radial pressure in the whitening chamber varied with the surface condition of the grain being processed. During the first or second pass through the machine, pressure was relatively low, reached a maximum after two to three passes with combinations I and II, three to six with combination III and then began to fall. 2. The pitch of the feed screw and the size of the feed gate opening which determine the rate of entry of grain into the whitening chamber, appeared to be the most important factor aff-::cting the degree of radial pressure, quality and quantity of milled rice and the efficiency of the machine. Using a feed screw with a wide pitch (4.8cm), radial pressure was relatively high and head rice recovery ratio \vere quite low. In this case capacity and machine effic?iency were much higher than obtained when using a feed screw with a narrow pitch (2.3cm). Very significant responses in radial pressure, head rice recovery rates and machine capacity were observed with changes in cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels when using the wide pitch feed screw. 3. The characteristics of the screen which surrounds the whitening chamber had an important effect on whitening efficiency. The existence of small protuberances on the original screen resulted in significant increases in both machine capacity and efficiency but without a significant decrease in head rice recovery or development of excessive radial pressure. Further work is required to determine the effects of screen surface conditions and the shape of the cylinderical steel roller on the rate of bran removal, machine efficiency and recovery rates. The size of the slotted perforations 0:1 the screen affects total milled rice recovery. The opening size on the original screen was fabricated to accommodate the round shape of Japonica rice varieties but was not suitable for the more slender Indica type. Milling Indica varieties with this screen resulted in a reduction in total milled rice recovery. 4. An increase in cylinder speed from 380 to 820 rpm produced a positive effect on head rice recovery for all machine combinations at every level of counter-pressure used in the tests. Head rice recovery was considerably lower at 380rpm using a wide screw pitch when compared to the results obtained at speeds from 600 to 820 r.p.m. The effects of cylinder speed On radial pressure, capacity and machine efficiency showed contrasting results, depending on the width of the feed screw pitch. With a narrow feed screw pitch (2.3cm), a direct proportional relationship was observed bet?ween cylinder speed and both radial pressure and machine efficiency. In contrast, using a 4.8 centimeter pitch feed roller produced a series of inverse relationships between the above variables. Based on the results of this study it is recommended when milling Indica type long grain rice varieties that the cylinder speed of the original machine be increased from 500-600 rmp up to a minimum of 800 rpm to obtain a greater abrasive effect between the grain and the screen. The pitch of the feed screw should be also reduced to decr?ease the level of internal radial pressure and to obtain higher machine efficiency and increased quality of milled rice with increased cylinder speeds. Further study on the interaction between cylinder speed and feed screw pitch is recommended. 5. An increase in the counter pressure level produced a negative effect On the head rice recovery with an increase in radial pressure, capacity, and machine efficiency over all combinations and at every level of cylinder speed. 6. Head rice recovery rates were conditioned primarily by the pressure inside the whitening chamber. According to the empirical cha racteristics curve developed in this study, the relationships of head rice recovery ($Y_h$) and machine capacity ($Y_c$/TEX>) to internal radial pressure ($X_p$) followed an inverse quadratic function and a linear function respectively: $$Y_h^\Delta=\frac{1}{{1.4383-0.2951X_p^\ast+0.1425X_p^{\ast\ast}}^2} , (R^2=0.98)$$$$Y_c^\Delta=-305.83+374.37X_p^{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.88)$$The correlation between capacity and power consumption per unit of brown rice expressed in the following exponential function: $$Y_c^\Delta=1.63Y_c^{-0.7786^\{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.94)$$These relationships indicate that when radial pressure increases above a certain range (1. 6 to 2.0 kg/$cm^2$ based On the results of the experiment) head ricerecovery decrea?ses in a quadratic relation with a inear increase in capacity but without any decrease in power consump tion per unit of brown rice. On the other hand, if radial pressure is below the range shown above, power consumption increases dramatically with a lin?ear decrease in capacity but without significant increases in head rice recovery. During the operation of a given whitening machine, the optimum radial pressure range or the correct capacity range should be selected by controlling the feed rate and/or counter-pressure keeping in mind the condition of the grain, particulary the hardness. It was observed that the total number of passes is related to radial pessure level, feed rate and counter-pressure level. The higher theradial pressure the fewer num?ber of pass required but with decreased head rice recovery. In particular, when using high feed rates, the total number of passes should be increased to more than three by reducing the counter-pressure level to avoid decreaseases in head rice recovery (less than 65 percent head rice recovery on the basis of brown rice) at every cylinder speed. 7. A rapid rise in grain temperature seemed to have a close relationship with the pressure generated inside the whitening chamber and, subsequently with head rice reco?very rates. The higher the rate of increase, the lower were the resulting head rice recoveries.

시아해의 수질환경과 식물플랑크톤 생물량의 계절변동 특성 및 식물플랑크톤 생물량변동에 영향을 미치는 환경요인을 파악하기 위해 1995년 2월,4월,7월과 10월 4회에 걸쳐 계절별로 23개 관측점의 표층과 저층 해수를 대상으로 현장조사를 실시하였다. 결과, 시아해는 2월에 최저수온, 8월에 최고 수온을 나타내나, 염분은 6, 7월에 높고 겨울에 낮은 특성을 나타내었으며, 연중 빠른 유속과 조석혼합 등으로 수층 간 혼합된 양상과 매우 낮은 투명도를 나타내고 있었다. 영양염류 중 질소는 여름을 제외하고는 비교적 높은 값을 나타내며, 인은 연중 0.5$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍat./l내외의 값을 보이고 있는 반면, 규소는 봄철 규조류 대발생시를 제외하고는 연중 높은 농도를 유지하고 있었다. Chl-a는 연중 2$\mu\textrm{g}$/l 이상의 높은 값을 나타내고 있으며, 특히 규조류의 대발생이 보여지는 봄철에 높은 값을 나타내었다. 다만, 연중 높은 생물량은 생물의 성장과 활성에 의하기보다는 조석혼합 등에 의해 해저표층퇴적물에 침강된 표영생태계 중의 생물량 상당부분이 수중으로 재 부유한 결과로 보여져, 높은 부유물질 등 제한된 광 조건으로 시아해 식물플랑크톤 생물활성은 그다지 높지 않을 것으로 추정되었다. 기초생산을 제한하는 영양염은 시아해 북쪽해역에서는 인에 의해, 남쪽해역에서는 질소에 의해 지배되고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 겨울철은 인의 존재량에 비해 질소가 과잉으로 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 규소는 봄철 규조의 대발생시를 제외하고는 식물플랑크톤 군집에 크게 영향을 주지 앓는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 영양염류 중 규소는 담수 등 복잡한 주변 수괴의 유입에 의존하는 비율이 높고, 질소는 여름에는 담수 유입에 의존하나 시기에 따라서는 저층 해수의 공급에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 인은 담수유입에 의한 부분보다 저층 해수 및 주변 수괴로부터 유입하는 비율이 높은 것으로 판단되었다. 시아해의 식물플랑크톤에 영향을 미치는 환경요인은 시간과 공간에 따라 다르게 나타나고 있으며, 여름철 극심한 질소의 부족이나 봄철 규조 대발생시의 규산염 고갈 등을 제외하면 영양염류보다도 높은 부유물질, 즉 광량 등 물리학적 요인에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었다.

생선 부패에 의한 히스타민 발생을 저지하는 방법으로 방사선 조사 기술의 응용 가능성을 살펴보았다. 한국산 고등어를 선량 $0.1{\sim}l.0$ Mrad Co-60 방사선으로 조사한 후 0, 5, $10^{\circ}C$씩 각각 저장하였다. 저장기간 중 히스타민, 총 휘발산, 트리메틸아민 양의 변화와 총 미생물 수를 측정한 결과 다음과 같은 사실을 알았다. 1. 히스타민 함량의 변화는 $0^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 저장하였을 시 방사선 조사에 관계없이 심각하게 변화하지 않았으나 $5^{\circ}C$에서 저장하였을 시는 저선량 조사의 경우에도 저장 후기에 어육 100g당 10mg정도로 약간 증가하였다. $10^{\circ}C$ 저장시에는 저장 초기에 이미 히스타민이 축적되어 저장 35일째는 어육 1009당 827.5mg의 높은 양에 달 하였으나 방사선에 조사 (0.4 Mrad) 의하여 어육 100g당 5.7mg 정도로 현저하게 떨어졌다. 2. 방사선 처리는 초기의 미생물을 확실하게 사멸시키므로서 냉장 온도의 조건에서 히스타민 뿐 아니라 총 휘발산, 트리메틸아민의 생성을 억제하였다. 3. 방사선 조사 효과의 최저치는 0.2 Mrad 이었고 최고치는 0.5 Mrad 이었다. 0.5 Mrad 이상에서는 미생물의 억제 효과, 히스타민, 총 휘발산, 트리메틸아민의 생성을 현저하게 저해하여 방사선 효과가 컸으나 관능적인 면에서 좋지 못한 결과를 초래하였다. 반면 $0.5{\sim}1.0$ Mrad의 선량조사 시에는 신선 고등어의 붉은 부분과 횐 부분이 구별되지 않을 정도로 고등어 근육이 붉어졌다.

여러 치료선량 측정기들 중 치료 현장에서의 사용이 간편한 형광물질 기반 측정기인 유리선량계(Glass Rod Dosimeter, GRD)는 방사선 조사 후 측정 소자의 안정화를 위한 전처리(Pre-processing) 과정이 필수적이며, 가열방식($70^{\circ}C$, 30분)과 대기방식($20^{\circ}C$, 24시간)의 두 가지의 전처리 방식이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 각각의 전처리 조건이 측정 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 사용자들에게 유용한 참고자료를 제시하고자 한다. 20개의 GRD 소자들 모두에 같은 선량을 조사한 후, 10개씩 나누어 각각 다른 전처리 방식을 사용하여 판독함으로써 각 전처리 방식의 특징들을 상호 비교하였다. 가열방식의 경우 소자 간 판독 편차는 1.13%, 시간에 따른 평균 판독값의 편차는 최대 5.33%였다. 대기방식의 경우에는 소자 간 판독 편차가 0.49%, 시간에 따른 평균 판독값의 편차는 최대 1.28%로 나타났다. 또한 동일한 선량을 주었을 때 전처리 방식에 따라 판독 절대값은 4.1%의 차이를 보였다. 또한 251명의 환자들을 대상으로 한 임상 측정 평가 결과 부위에 따라 다르지만 평균적으로 5% 이내의 측정 오차를 보였으나, 대기 방식의 경우 판독 시점에 따른 영향이 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 결론적으로 GRD는 치료 현장에서 사용하기에 적합하나 신속한 판독이 요구되지 않는다면 대기방식의 전처리가 보다 적합하며 정해진 판독 시점을 지켜야 한다. 또한 치료 부위 등 조사 조건의 변화에 관계없이 안정적인 정확성을 기대할 수 있는 측정 방법에 대한 연구가 향후 필요하다고 생각된다.

도시농업에 대한 관심과 수요가 증가하고 있으나 실내 채소재배에 대한 연구는 매우 미진한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구는 아파트 베란다에서 이용하기에 좋은 관비방법 및 재배가 적합한 채소작목을 선발하고자 수행되었다. 가정용 채소 관비방법을 선발하기 위하여 담액수경, 심지관수(양액 또는 완효성비료), 두상관수 등 4가지 방법을 비교해 본 결과 심지관수법에서 상추, 겨자채, 적근대 모두 관행대비 생육과 수량이 높았다. 뿐만 아니라 심지관수 방법은 양수분관리에 필요한 노력과 시간을 대폭 줄일 수 있고 (주)애그로액티브와 공동 개발한 완효성비료를 이용하면 별도의 양분관리 없이 채소를 생산할 수 있다. 한편, 물이 바닥으로 흘러 나오지 않기 때문에 실내에서 사용도 가능하다. 한편, 가을의 베란다 환경을 조사한 결과 온 습도 환경은 채소 재배에 적절하였으나 광환경은 최고 광량이 남향 베란다에서는 온실의 48%, 남동향 베란다에서는 35%에 불과하여 생육에 가장 큰 제한요인으로 나타났다. 따라서 베란다의 약광 조건에서도 생육이 우수한 작물을 선발하고자 0%, 50%, 70%, 90% 차광조건에서 로메인상추, 청치마상추, 생채, 엔다이브, 청경채, 겨자채, 쑥갓, 적근대, 부추 등 9종의 엽채류를 재배하였다. 부추가 광이 부족한 환경에서도 가장 생육이 우수하였고 엔다이브도 약광에서 생육이 좋았으며 상추, 쑥갓, 청경채가 뒤를 이었다. 이 연구결과를 토대로 각 베란다의 방향이나 위치, 계절에 따라 달라지는 광환경에 적합한 채소작물 선발에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

포항 지열 개발지역에서 지열수 유동을 파악하기 위하여 자연전위(self-potential; SP) 탐사를 수행하고 양수시험 동안에 SP 장기 관측을 실시하였다. 이를 위해 시추 작업이 시작되기 이전에 대상 지역의 자연전위의 분포를 알아보기 위하여 배경 SP 탐사를 수행하였다. 양수시험은 2003년 12월의 24시간과 2004년 3월의 72시간 동안의 두 번에 걸쳐서 시행되었는데, SP장기 관측은 이러한 양수시험 전후로 128채널 자동 SP측정 시스템을 이용하여 이루어졌다. 배경 SP 탐사에서는 지열수 순환의 상승부로 해석될 수 있는 뚜렷한 양의 이상이 시추공을 중심으로 북쪽에서 관측되었다. 양수 시험으로 인하여 일어나는 심부 지열 저류층의 유동 양상 및 지열수 흐름 방향을 탐지할 목적으로 수행한 1차 및 2차 SP 장기 관측 자료에서 양수 및 양수 중단에 의한 직접적인 SP 변화는 뚜렷하게 보이지 않았다. 이러한 이유는 다양한 물리탐사 방법으로 밝혀졌듯이 상부에 낮은 전기비저항의 미고결 퇴적층이 깊이 약 360m 두께로 덮고 있어 지열수 유동에 의한 전기역학적 전위가 지표 부근에서 심하게 감쇠되었기 때문으로 해석된다. 하지만 예비 양수시험 및 장기 양수 시험 동안에 얻어진 지하수 분석 자료와 SP 관측 자료를 비교한 결과 양수로 인한 SP 변화가 비교적 크게 나타나는 몇몇 측점들을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 큰 폭의 SP 변화는 시추공을 중심으로 남서부에 위치한 측점에서 예비 및 장기 양수시험 동안에 반복하여 관측되었는데, 이 지역은 3차원 MT 해석 결과에서 나타난 심도 $600m\~1,000m$ 하부의 저비저항 이상대와 일치한다. 따라서 시추공을 중심으로 남서부 지역은 시추공과 수리지질학적으로 연결되어 있음을 추정할 수 있다.은 $2.34{times}10^{-4}$초임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 동물 실험에서도 동일한 방법으로 시간에 대한 거리 그래프와 획득-보정간의 지연 시간 등을 분석한 결과 팬텀 데이터와 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 결론 : 팬텀, 동물 실험 모두에서 시간에 대한 거리 값과 각각의 경우에 획득-보정간의 지연 시간을 분석한 결과 데이터 값은 ${\pm}1\%$ 이내에서 일치하였으며, 데이터 획득-보정 지연 시간은 2.34H10-4 초 이내 즉, 실시간으로 얻을 수 있어 새로운 호흡운동 조절 방사선치료 기술의 임상적용에의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.X>$44.7\%$로 $19.2\%$인 저선량군에 비해 훨씬 좋은 예후를 보였다. 단변량분석에서 예후에 영향을 미치는 중요인자로는 환자의 나이, 전신수행도, 종양의 위치, 수술절제범위, 표적체적, 방사선총선량 등이었다 다변량분석에서 통계적으로 유의한 인자는 환자의 나이(p=0.012), 수술절제범위(p=0.000), 방사선선량군(p=0.049)이었다. 방사선괴사와 같은 방사선으로 인한 직접적인 만성합병증은 추적관찰기간 동안 발생하지 않았다. 결론: 3차원 입체조형치료기법을 통하여 70 Gy까지의 방사선을 부작용 없이 조사할 수 있었고, 근치적 국소요법의 일환으로 방사선 선량증가가 전체 생존기간 및 무진행 생존기간을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.: 유방암치료에서 virtual wedge는 통상 사용하는 physical wedge에 비하여 주변 연부조직선량, 반대편 유방선량, 동측 페선량 및 심장선량을 감소시켜 급, 만성 방사선 부작용의 위험을 감소시킬 수 있는 임상적으로 매우 유용한 방법이며 또한 방사선조사시간을 단축시킴으로써 선형가속기의 부하를 줄일

잔류염소 농도가 상당히 낮은 수돗물에서 유기탄소(organic carbon)와 인(phosphorus)의 증가가 세균 생장에 미치는 영향과 세균에 의한 유기탄소와 인의 소모를 fed-batch 실험조건($20^{\circ}C$ 수온)에서 조사하였다. 수돗물에서 단지 인의 증가만으로는 부유성 세균의 현저한 수적 증가는 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 유기탄소의 증가는 부유성 세균을 $10^3CFU/mL$ 수준까지 증가시켰으며, 특히 유기탄소와 함께 동반된 인의 증가는 부유성 세균을 $10^5CFU/mL$ 수준까지 증가시켰다. 이러한 효과들은 polyethylene (PE) slide 표면에 형성된 생물막 세균과 생물량 측정에서도 동일하게 나타났다. 유기탄소와 함께 인 농도가 높은 수돗물에서 PE slide 표면에 형성된 생물막 세균과 세포외 중합체(extracellular polymeric substance) 구성 성분으로 측정된 생물량은 각각 $7.6{\times}10^5CFU/cm^2$와 $5.3{\mu}g/cm^2$로 가장 높았다. 세균 생장과 더불어, 수돗물에서 유기탄소와 인의 증가는 세균에 의한 탄소와 인의 이용 패턴에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 전형적인 세균의 C/P 소모비율(100:1)과 비교했을 때, 상대적으로 높은 C/P 소모비율(590:1)은 유기탄소 농도가 높은 수돗물에서, 그리고 상대적으로 낮은 C/P 소모비율(40:1)은 인 농도가 높은 수돗물에서 관찰되었다. 또한 유기탄소와 함께 인 농도가 높은 수돗물에서도 상대적으로 낮은 C/P 소모비율(80:1)이 관찰되었다. 주어진 실험조건에서는 수돗물과 생물막내 세균 생장이 인의 증가보다는 유기탄소의 증가에 더욱 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 수돗물에서 인의 증가는 세균의 낮은 C/P 소모비율을 가져오지만, 세균 생장에 미치는 인의 영향은 세균이 쉽게 이용할 수 있는 유기탄소의 존재와 밀접하게 관련되어 있는 것으로 보인다. 그러므로 수돗물에 자연적으로 존재하는 낮은 농도의 인만으로도 세균 생장을 위해 필요한 인 요구량을 만족시킬 수 있기 때문에, 수돗물에서 세균 생장의 최소화를 위해서는 인보다는 유기탄소의 외부적인 유입을 제어하는 것이 더욱 중요한 것으로 판단된다.
