The physiological responses caused by exposure of high- and low-level lead exhibit different phase. Low-level lead continuous hypertension, but high-level lead can in the development of hypertension. In this study it was tested which difference can be caused as lead levels and, if it can be caused, whether hematological changes are related with the hypertensive effects induced by different levels of lead exposure was tested. Lead intoxication in male SD rats was induced by exposure through drinking water containing 50, 200 and 1000 ppm lead (as lead acetate). The animals of control group was supplied drinking water containing sodium acetate ad libitum. The number of each animal group was 10. Systolic blood pressures were measured in the unanesthetized state by the tail-cuff technique at 0, 3, 7 and 16 weeks. RBC, WBC, MCV, hemoglobin, hematocrit and whole blood viscosity levels were examined.

Radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula(RC-AVF) is the most recommended operation of achieving access for hemodialysis. However, it has high rates of early failure depending on the many haemodynamic conditions. To increase RC-AVF patency rate, many researches were performed by in-vitro experiment via artificial vessel and blood analogue fluid, and there were conflicting opinions about whether the non-Newtonian properties of blood have an influence on the flow in large arteries. To investigate the influence of viscoelasticity of blood within the RC-AVF, we fabricated three dimensional artificial RC-AVF and two kinds of blood analogue fluid. The velocity field of two fluids within the vessel were measured by micro-particle velocimetry(m-PIV) and compared with each other. The velocity profiles of both fluids for systolic phase were matched well while those for diastolic phase did not correspond. Therefore, it is desired to use non-newtonian fluid for in-vitro experiment of RC-AVF.

The objective of this investigation is to understand the role of hemodynamics in the formation and development of atherosclerosis lesions in the human left coronary artery This study also aims to compare the blood flow characteristics of steady and physiological flows. Three dimensional, steady and physiological flows of blood in the left coronary artery are simulated using the Finite Volume Method. Apparent viscosity of blood is represented as a function of shear rate by the Carreau model. Distributions of velocity, pressure and shear stress in tile left coronary artery bifurcation are presented to compare tile steady and physiological flow characteristics.

The objective of present study is to obtain information about stenosis effects on the blood flow in the coronary artery bifurcation. The three dimensional steady of blood in the coronary artery bifurcation with stenosis and without stenosis are simulated using the finite volume method. Apparent viscosity of blood is represented as a function of shear rate by the Carreau models. Velocities vectors and wall shear stresses along the branch tubes with stenosis are compared with those of without stenosis for steady flows. Flow phenomena in the stenosed branch tubes are discussed extensively.

Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) allows measurement of blood flow velocity to be made from the basal intracerebral vessels. Blood flow velocity in TCD is highly affected not only by blood vessel diameter, blood flow volume, blood viscosity, but also age and sex. Therefore, the study is focused on the correlation between TCD measurement index and sex/age. Subjects were 214 (male 147, famale 67) who had TCD for headache and stroke evaluations at Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital neurology department from December 2009 to April 2010. Sex did not show significant differences with mean flow velocity (MFV), peak systolic flow velocity (PSFV), end diastolic flow velocity (EDFV), pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) in middle cerebral artery (MCA). Although age also did not show significant differences with MFV and PSFV, EDFV has statistically decreased with age, and PI and RI has statistically increased with age. In addition, age showed significant correlation with MFV, EDFV, PI and RI, but not with PSFV. Therefore, TCD is definitely correlated with age and sex, so that those influencial factors must be considered when being tested.

In this work, we investigate the effect of blood hematocrit level on the radial pulse wave to study the clinical application of the pulse analyzer. For this purpose, we measured the radial pulse wave at the left Gwan for 15 males with abnormal high hematocrit level and 47 males with normal hematocrit level at the age of thirties and forties. Various variables of the radial pulse wave between two groups were analyzed by Student's T test. We found significant differences in several characteristic variables in the amplitude, time-span and the integrated area of the amplitude and time of the pulse wave. The systolic peak in the amplitude of the radial pulse wave was higher in abnormal high hematocrit group. In contrast, the third peak from the second incisure was higher and longer in normal hematocrit group. Our study suggests that the radial pulse wave can be useful in distinguishing the patient group with high hematocrit level and thus with high blood viscosity. Our finding may motivate research activities towards diverse clinical applications of the pulse wave.

This article described that a high Reynolds number version of a turbulence model was modified by using drag reduction to analyze the turbulent flows of non-Newtonian fluid with visco-elastic viscosity and it was applied hemodynamics which was representative of visco-elastic fluid. The turbulence characteristics of visco-elastic fluid was expanded viscous sublayer region and buffer layer region by drag reduction phenomenon and also Newtonian turbulence models does not predict because viscosity was related with shear rate of fluid flow. Hence numerical simulation using a modified turbulence model was conducted under the same conditions that were applied to obtain the experiment results and previous turbulence models and then the numerical investigation of turbulent blood flow in the stenosed artery bifurcation under periodic acceleration of the human body.

Methods : thrity Sprague-Dawleys rats of starved during 3 days were used and divided 3 groups ; Normal group ; Experimental group that were administered Carthmi Flos 117mg/200g(Sample1) ; Experimental group that were administered Carthmi Flos 936mg/200g(Sample2). and the observerd blood(RBC, Hct, Hb, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PLT, WBC NEUT, LYM, MONO, EOSIN). Result : the result were obtained as follows ; 1. RBC, Hb, MCHC were significantly increased, and MCV were decreased in Sample1.(p<0.05) 2. PLT, MCHC, LYM were significantly increased, and Hct, MCV were decreased in Sample2.(p<0.05) Conclusion : According in the above result, it was consided that a small quantity dosage of Carthami Flos was nourished the blood, and a large quantity of that was curative for thrombosis and elevated blood viscosity and it is suggested that more interest and study in the mechanism and clinical use were needed.

대동맥이나 협착된 경동맥에서는 심장수축기에 간헐적으로 난류현상이 발생하고 있으며, 혈액의 점성특성으로 인해 기존 난류모델로는 정확한 해석이 어려운 실정이다. 혈류는 점탄성 유체의 성질을 가지고 있어 유체의 전단 변형률 증가에 따라 점도가 감소하는 점탄성 유체이며, 이러한 점탄성 유체는 난류 유동시 저항 감소 현상이 발생한다. 기존의 난류해석 모델들은 점성변화가 없는 뉴턴 유체에 적합한 모델들이 대부분이기 때문에, 점탄성 유체의 저항 감소 현상을 고려한 비뉴턴 유체 해석에 적합한 난류 모델개발이 필요하다. 본 논문은 난류 모델 가운데 수렴성이 좋고 해석시간이 짧은 표준 $k-{\varepsilon}$ 모델을 기반으로 저항 완충 함수를 이용하여 비뉴턴 유체의 저항감소 현상을 해석할 수 있는 수정된 난류모델을 제시하였으며, 이를 기존 난류모델들과 비교하여 제시된 난류 모델을 검증하였다. 새로 제시된 수정된 난류모델은 벽함수 및 점성저층을 고려하지 않았기 때문에 해석시간이 대폭적으로 감소하였으며, 적은 격자수를 이용하여 효율적으로 비뉴턴 유체의 난류 현상을 해석할 수 있기 때문에 향후 혈류해석 및 점탄성유체 해석에 적용할 예정이다.

Aging effect on the cardiovascular circulation is simulated by lumped parameter model. Aging phenomena can be hemodynamically explained as (1) the increase of flow resistance induced by remodeling of artery vessels and increased viscosity of blood and (2) the reduction of the vessel capacitance caused by arteriosclerosis. Appropriate physiological parameters are evaluated from the clinical data of adults and old men. Simulation results well explain the hypertension with aging of cardiovascular system.
