Steady and physiological flows of a Newtonian fluid and blood in the abdominal gorta/iliac artery bifurcation are numerically simulated to understand the etiology and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Distributions of velocity, pressure, and wall shear stress in the bifurcated arterial vessel model are calculated to investigate the differences of flow characteristics between steady and physiological flows and to compare flow characteristics of blood with that of a Newtonian fluid For the given Reynolds number the flow characteristics of physiological flows for a Newtonian fluid and blood in the bifurcated arterial vessel are quite different from thcse of steady flows. No flow separation or flow reversal in the bifurcated region appears downstream of a stenosis during the acceleration phase. However, during the deceleration phase the flow exhibits flow separation in the outer walls of daugtlter branches, which extends to the entire wall region.

본 연구는 온열요법이 표층부 혈류량과 피부 온도에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해, 건강한 성인 20명(남성: 10명, 여성: 10명)을 대상으로 습열요법과 초음파요법 적용전후의 전이부 표층부 혈류량과 피부 온도를 각각 laser doppler flowmetry와 접촉식온도계를 사용하여 측정함으로써 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 습열요법과 초음파요법 모두에서, 표층부 혈류량과 피부 온도는 적용전보다 적용후에 유의하게 증가하였다. 2. 습열요법을 시행한 경우, 초음파요법에 비해 적용직후 표층부 혈류량과 피부 온도의 증가량이 유의하게 더 컸으며, 증가된 상태도 더 오래 유지되었다. 3. 온열요법 적용전 표층부 혈류량과 피부 온도는 남성이 여성에 비해 더 높았다. 4. 온열요법 적용전후 표층부 혈류량과 피부 온도의 변화량은 남녀간의 유의한 차이가 없었다.

Stroke is usually associated with the cerebral blood flow of the central nervous system. However, studies concerning the effects of neurologic sysmptoms induced from stroke on the peripheral blood flow has not taken place sufficiently. To ascertain the feasibility of a blood flow meter adopting to use doppler ultrasonogrphy, under the prospect that hemiparesis induced from stroke may have effect on the peripheral blood flow, the peripheral blood flow velocity was observed. The control group made up of healthy people without any factors capable of effecting the peripheral blood flow velocity, and patient group which consist of hemiparetic people induced from stroke, were recruited. Volumes of recruitment are 21 persons in the patient group, and 29 persons in the control group, but the final numbers of people are 17 and 21 respectively because of the inconsistancy in the method of the test. The non-invasive method of Doppler effect of Ultrasound was used to measure the blood flow velocity. The blood flow velocity in the peripheral part of left and right fourth fingers:dorsal branches of proper palmar digital artery to dorsum of distal phalanges, was measured in the control group and patient group through Doppler Ultrasound. In comparison of the control group and the patient group, the systolic blood flow velocity from the peripheral part of the upper extremity was lower in the patient group than that of the control group. According to such results, it is concluded that hemiparesis induces the reduction of the peripheral blood flow velocity in the systolic phase.

대뇌혈류를 증가 시키는 수술은 뇌경색의 치료방법중 하나이다. 그러나 수술과 같은 침습적인 방법은 환자에게 수술 후유증 또는 부작용을 부담하게 한다. 이러한 침습적인 방법을 보완하기 위해 사람의 혈압을 이용해, 사지에 압박을 가하여 대뇌 혈류를 증가 시키는 비 침습적인 장치도 등장하였다. 그러나 속도와 정확성이 떨어지는 문제점이 제기되었다. 본 논문에서는, 정확한 측정과 측정하는 데에 걸리는 시간을 기존의 장치보다 개선하기 위해, Blood Oxygen Level Sensor를 이용하여, 양팔에 압력을 주면서 각 팔의 Perfusion Index를 측정하여, Perfusion Index가 일정 값 이하로 떨어지는 순간의 75% 압력을 팔에 가하고, 다리에는 팔에서 구해진 압력 값을 이용해 계산하여 얻은 압력을 가한다. 기존의 혈압 측정식 대뇌혈류증가 장치와 같이, 혈류량을 20%이상 증가시킬 수 있고, 또한 측정 시간도 단축한 결과를 얻어 뇌경색 환자에게 선택적으로 사용할 수 있다.

The main objective of the present study is to predict characteristics of three dimensional pulstitile flow by location of stenosis in blood vessel with the second order bifurcation. The present study simulates the incompressible non-Newtonian laminar blood flows using a Fluent V. 6.0. The Carreau model is employed as the constitutive equation for blood. The numerical simulation carried out at five cases without and with symmetry or asymmetry stenosis. It is found that the no stenosis and stenosis before first bifurcation do not have influence on flow at second bifurcated blood vessel. However, the stenosis after first biburcation has effect on flow at second bifurcated blood vessel.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of manipulation on the velocity of cerebral blood flow and level of pain in cervicogeinc headache patients. The velocity of cerebral blood flow of 30 cervicogeinc headache patients(male=15, female=15, age=$24.00{\pm}3.60$) and 33 normal subjects(male=15, female=18, age=$23.27{\pm}3.00$) was compared. The 30 cervicogeinc headache patients were divided into suboccipitalis relaxation group, cervical manipulation group, and placebo group, and each were given different interventions. The velocity of cerebral blood flow and pain level was measured before intervention, and 1, 2, 3 weeks after intervention. The velocity of cerebral blood flow was measured with the Transcranial Doppler(TCD), and pain level was measured with visual analog scale(VAS). Blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery in cervicogeinc headache patients was slower than those in healthy subjects. Physical therapy intervention did not have significant effect on velocity of cerebral blood flow, but slowly decreased at intervention for pain level increased. The suboccipitalis relaxation group and cervical manipulation group showed significant effect in decreasing pain level compared to the placebo group(p<.05). Directly applied manipulation therapy in the neck area not only has effect on joint of cervical and soft tissue but also on blood vessels and nerves which pass the neck area, and because of those results of manual therapy seems to help recovery.

Experiments were conducted with rabbits to study the possibility that blood flow of submaxillary glands may play a role in salivary secretion. Varoious dosage of propranolol and isoproterenol were given via the jugular vein and tha investigation of blood flow in submaxillary glands were performed by means of rheographic method. Conclusion were that propranolol was affected scarecely and isoproterenol were affecred dramatically of blood flow in sibmaxillary gland.

In this paper, we propose a non-invasive method to estimate blood velocity from the real medical images. To measure the magnitude and direction components associated with the blood velocity, we apply the optical flow analysis algorithm. It is demonstrated that the accuracy of the blood velocity estimate could possibly be increased by segmenting the optical flow region. We call this the Region Optical Flow(ROF) algorithm. We carried out some preliminary experiments using the aorta medical images, and corresponding regional optical flow diagrams are provided.

A blood flow simulator is one of the experimental devices used to better understand the cardiovascular system. Time-Domain analysis is not sufficient to understand the cardiovascular system because of the effects related to pulsating flows. Even when the mean pressure and mean flow rate of the blood flow simulators are satisfied, the dynamic properties can differ from the desired performance. In this paper, the Windkessel model, a well-known mathematical model of the cardiovascular system, was employed to obtain optimized pressure using initial values. The Windkessel parameters, including flow resistance, R, are expected to lead to a better understanding of the dynamic behavior of cardiovascular systems.

Atherosclerosis is a disease that narrows, thickens, hardens, and restructures a blood vessel due to substantial plaque deposit. The geometric models of the considered stenotic blood flow are three different types of constriction of cross-sectional area of blood vessel; 25%, 50%, and 75% of constriction. The computational model with the fluid-structure interaction is introduced to investigate the wall shear stresses, blood flow field and recirculation zone in the stenotic vessels. The velocity profile in a compliant stenotic artery with various constrictions is subjected to prescribed physiologic waveform. The computational simulations were performed, in which the physiological flow through a compliant axisymmetric stenotic blood vessel was solved using commercial software ADINA 8.4 developed by finite element method. We demonstrated comparisons of the wall shear stress with or without the fluid-structure interaction and their velocity profiles under the physiological flow condition in the compliant stenotic artery. The present results enhance our understanding of the hemodynamic characteristics in a compliant stenotic artery.
