In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed for the heart valves stenosis region detection using heart sounds. Many researches for detecting primary components or removing heart murmurs have been studied, but their performances are degraded at abnormal heart sounds such as aortic stenosis and mitral stenosis because of large heart murmurs. In this paper, heart murmur detection method is proposed based on noise intensity function. The proposed noise intensity function detect the primary components S1, S2, then set session up using S1, S2. And then noise intensity function was computed using autocorrelation value of each session. The proposed noise intensity function estimated noise intensity of each sessions and detected heart murmurs. According to simulation results, the proposed algorithm has better performance than former study for detecting heart valve stenosis region.

The black heart in potato is a physiological disorder that occurs when potatoes suffer from breathing problems. When storing potatoes at a low temperature around $0^{\circ}C$, there is a high possibility that the respiration rate of potato will rise and black heart will occur. Also, respiration can occur easily and briefly in a state where high temperature and ventilation is insufficient. Recently, as black heart has been occurred continuously and severely in South Korea, here we tried to identify the causes of black heart in potato and to develop the control strategy of this disorder. Firstly, we analyzed the influence on the black heart on the basis of preservation containers (breathable plastic box, burlap bag, paper box, sealed plastic box). After harvesting the potato which is cv. Superior, it preserved for 6 months under conditions of temperature $3.5^{\circ}C{\pm}0.2$ and humidity 85%, after then we surveyed the incidence of emergence rate, rate of weight loss and occurrence rate of black heart. Secondly, in order to investigate the time point of black heart initiation under the oxygen concentration condition of 1% or less, The potatoes were used for this experiment stored for 6 months in a aerated plastic box under conditions of temperature $3.5^{\circ}C{\pm}0.2$ and humidity 85% under sufficient oxygen condition. After stored for 6 month, those were stored at $15^{\circ}C$ and below 1% of oxygen for 25 days, and then the incidence of black heart was surveyed. Thirdly, to investigate the effects of the number of days after harvest on the occurrence of black heart, it was examined the occurrence of black heart stored on 40 days and 100 days after harvesting under sealed condition and vacuum condition. The temperature condition of potato storage was stored was at $4^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ in humidity 85%. As a result of investigating the occurrence of black heart depending on the storage containers, all of the potatoes stored in the sealed plastic box had been occurred black heart. However, black heart of the potatoes in the other treatments did not. Potato preserved under the condition of below 1% of oxygen was found to occur 32% black heart after 25 days of storage. The potatoes corresponding to the required number of days after harvesting were stored for 31 days and the black heart was examined on the occurred. As a result, the potatoes which were 40 days after the harvest did not have black heart under sealed condition and vacuum condition. But potatoes harvested 100 days after harvesting had a black heart incidence of 95.7% under sealed condition at $4^{\circ}C$. The potato placed in the vacuum condition and a sealed state at $25^{\circ}C$ was transformed into anaerobic respiration, the inner tissue of tuber collapsed. Therefore, it is considered that black heart is caused by the breathing trouble in the central part when the oxygen is almost consumed after the aerobic respiration which gradually consumes the oxygen. We conclude that the black heart occurred in the central part where exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is the slowest is sensitive to respiration disorder. It is thought that research to investigate black heart generation time according to storage conditions and post-harvest state of potatoes is further necessary.

The heart takes the top position as the monarch of the physiological activity in five viscera and six bowels. Activity to think and ponder, or harmony of the function of viscera and bowels and passing smoothly of qi and blood and so on, these depend on the function of heart. So it is called the center of life activity. This thesis studied bibliographically the process of formation of the system of differention of syndromes. First, in the classify of deficiency syndrome, insufficiency of the Heart is classified deficiency of the Heart-yin and insufficiency of the Heart-yang. After it classified insufficiency of the Heart-qi, insufficiency of the Heart-yang, dificiency of the 'Heart-blood and deficiency of the Heart-yin. At lately it classified more subdivide into insufficiency of the Heart-qi, insufficiency of the Heart-yang, dificiency of the Heart-blood, deficiency of the Heart-yin. Deficiency of the Heart-qi yin, deficiency of the Heart-qi blood, deficiency of the Heart-yin yang and sudden exhaustion of the Heart-yang. Second, It were the most important that the phlegm, fire and heat in the classify of excess syndrome. It classified various differentiation of syndrome. In the beginning of a period, it only classified phlegm syndrome and heat syndrome, but recently it classified not only phlegm syndrome and heat syndrome but also phlegm-fire. Also, It classified importantly gradually Heart-blood stasis caused by deficiency of the Heart-qi and the Heart-yang. Variety and subdivision of classify of differentiation of syndrome seemed resault of study to prepare various disease. And that after demanded more and more positive study.

Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate the membrane potential to apply Doksam-tang to a human heart failure model. Methods : The human heart model was built by Luo et al. CellML model, Priebe et al. CellML model, and a human heart mesh file. Doksam-tang gives channel the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC ₅₀ ), half maximal effective concentration(EC ₅₀ ) values and compounds concentrations. These data load into the laptop with Ubuntu OS, and build the library with the data. Results : While results of the study with the heart failure model shows abnormal membrane potential from the normal heart model, the study with applying Doksam-tang to heart failure model shows restoring membrane potential that is similar to normal heart model. Conclusions : These results of the testings suggest that a conception of novel technique to investigate the effects of Korean herbal medicine.

Objectives : This study aim to find out the reason why perspiration related with the Heart in Korean Medicine. Results : Perspiration is closely connected with the Heart because sweat is a kind of ultrafiltrate of the blood and the Heart conducts blood. In order to perspire, it is necessary to increase blood flow to capillary surrounding sweat glands. The Heart plays an important role in increasing blood flow to capillary surrounding sweat glands. Perspiration controls the body temperature. It must be increase the blood flow to skin in order that down the high body temperature. The Heart plays an important role in increasing blood flow. Conclusions : Perspiration is closely connected with the Heart because sweat is a kind of ultrafiltrate of the blood and there are plenty capillary surround sweat gland. The Heart controls the blood flow to skin in order to regulate of body temperature.

During the period from February to March, 1984, we employed a partial left heart bypass [left atrium to ascending aorta] in 2 patients who could not weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass with inotropic agents and cardiac pacing after coronary bypass surgery. These two patients showed significant improvement in ventricular function 18 to 47 hours after inserting the left heart bypass and were able to wean from the left heart bypass under using inotropic agents. Two patients died of multiple organ failures 11 days and 15 days postoperatively. These results indicate that early institution of left heart bypass in ventricular failure patients after open heart surgery can provide satisfactory long-term result.
