  • 연구배경: 만성폐쇄성폐질환(chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD) 환자군에서 우울증 및 불안장애의 유병률이 높고, 이는 치료경과 및 사망률에도 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 국내연구가 미비한 COPD환자들의 우울과 불안심리에 대한 평가를 하고자 하였다. 방 법: 2005년 9월부터 2006년 8월까지 이화의료원 호흡기내과에서 외래치료 중인 72명의 COPD환자와 정상 대조군 50명에서 Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)와 State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)로 설문조사를 시행하였고, 임상기록을 분석하였다. 결 과: 1) 연령과 체질량지수, 혈청 알부민 수치는 환자군과 대조군간의 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 우울심리는 BDI점수가 환자군 16(0-37), 대조군 12(1-30)으로 환자군에서 유의하게 높았고(p=0.001), 21점 이상의 우울집단은 환자군이 36%로 대조군 6%에 비해 많았다(p<0.0001). 환자군에서는 경증군 18%(4/22), 중등증군 30%(6/20), 중증군 52%(13/25), 심한 중증군 60%(3/5)로 중증일수록 빈도가 높았다(p=0.008). 2) 불안심리는 환자군에서 SAI 점수 44(20-67), TAI점수 47(20-66)로 각각 대조군 39(26-65), 44(33-90)보다 유의하게 높았다(p=0.005, p=0.022). 환자군에서 BDI와 STAI점수는 상관관계를 보였고(p<0.001), 우울집단에서 불안점수가 유의하게 높았다. 3) COPD환자군에서 우울집단은 비우울집단보다 체질량지수, 기관지확장제후 $FEV_1$의 예측치가 유의하게 낮았고, 현재 흡연자의 비율과 중증도, STAI점수가 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 4) 연령과 성별을 통제한 다변량 로지스틱 회귀분석상 95% 신뢰구간으로 비차비는 체질량지수 0.9(p=0.311), 현재 흡연자 3.2(p=0.051), 중증군이상 3.9로(p=0.027), 중증이상의 중증도가 유일한 우울증 발생의 독립적 위험요인이었다. 결 론: COPD환자군에서 우울증과 불안심리가 흔하게 관찰되며, 체질량지수, 폐기능, 현재 흡연력이 우울관련 요인으로 특히 중증도가 높을수록 우울증과 불안장애의 관리가 필요함을 보여주었다.

  • 최근 대부분의 제품 디자이너들이 3차원 CAD 시스템을 필수적인 디자인 도구로서 활용하고 있고 이를 기반으로 많은 신제품들이 동시공학적 프로세스로 개발되고 있다. 그런데 초심 디자이너들이 3차원 CAD시스템을 사용하며 겪는 어려움 중 하나는 스크린을 통해 모델링한 오브젝트의 실체적 느낌을 정확히 판단하기 어렵다는 것이다. 이러한 '실체성 결여'의 문제는 3차원 CAD시스템에서의 모델링 작업이 가상공간 안에서만 이루어지기 때문에 촉각적 상호작용이 부재하고 현실공간에 대한 맥락정보가 결여되어 있는 것이 그 원인이라고 착 수 있다. 문제해결을 위해 본 연구에서는 증강현실기술을 활용하여 3차원 CAD 모델링 오브젝트를 현실공간에 정합시킴으로서 제품디자인에서 상호작용적인 정량구조 시뮬레이션의 가능성을 탐색하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 우선 증강현실 기반 정량구조 시뮬레이션 시스템을 구축하고 그 속에서 인간이 가상 오브젝트의 크기를 얼마나 정확하게 인지하고 조정할 수 있는지 실험하였다. 실험 결과 상대오차 1.3%이내(상대표준편차 5.3%이내)로서 상당히 정확하고 정밀한 크기 인지와 조정이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 실험조건에 따라서는 주변참조물이 풍부한 경우 오브젝트에 대한 크기인지가 용이하고 HDM보다는 LCD 패널을 사용할 경우 더욱 정확한 크기 조정이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 연구를 통해 제안한 증강현실 기반 정량구조 시뮬레이션시스템의 응용가능성을 탐색하기 위해 홈 서비스 로봇의 외관에 대해 사용자의 선호경향을 파악하는데 적용해 보았다. 아직 홈 서비스 로봇에 대한 전형적 이미지가 미비해서인지 외관특성에 대한 실험참가자의 선호경향에는 큰 편차가 보였고 군집분석을 통해 몇 그룹으로 세분화할 수 있었다. 그러나 팔이라는 조형요소의 유무에 따라 민감한 반응을 보인 점과 인체와 같이 신장과 팔길이 사이에 강한 상관성이 존재하는 것은 흥미로운 발견이었다. 프로세스를 제안하고자 한다.0 이용과 복제제한에 관한 주기(terms governing use and reproduction notes), 541 직접적 출처주기(immediate source of acquisition note), 545 행정연혁/개인이력주기(biographical or historical note), 581 출판주기(publication note), 850 소장처(holding institution) 데이터필드의 식별기호를 재구성, 추가하였다.근방법과 컨조인트 분석)의 조화를 이룰 수 있는 이론적 기초가 될 수 있다. 즉, 제품디자인의 결정요인 분석결과는 QFD의 접근방법에, 제품 디자인 파급효과 분석결과는 컨조인트 분석에 각각 보완적 기여를 할 수 있다. 이와 동시에, 실증적 분석결과는 Ettlie(1997)의 디자인 통합(DI) 이론에 대한 실증적 기반을 제공할 수 있다. 마지막으로, 성공적인 디자인 경영(DM)을 위해서는 최고 경영자의 지원뿐만 아니라 부처 간 의사소통의 장애요인을 제거하고 CFT(cross-functional team)를 운영함으로써 동시적 엔지니어링(CE) 및 제품 및 공정 디자인의 개발이 제품 개발의 속도를 가속화하고 디자인 품질을 높이며 시장 성공을 보증할 수 있도록 해야 한다.임과 채팅은 긍정적인 상호관련을 가진 것으로 나타난 반면 전자메일 서비스 이용은 성적 만족과 부정적인 상호관련을 가진 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 대학생들이 지루하게 느끼거나 외로움을 느낄 때 전자메일을 주로 이용하지만 성적 만족을 위해 전자메일을 이용하지 않고 있다는 사실을 보여주는 것이다.

  • 본 연구에서는 PLA를 기반으로 알루미늄, 나무, 구리, 카본, 대리석이 각각 20% 함유된 재질들의 CT number를 분석하고 영상에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하고자 하였다. 보급형 3D 프린터를 이용하여 5×30×30 ㎣(두께×직경×높이)의 원기둥 모양 팬텀을 제작하였다. 관전압을 80, 100, 120 kV로 변화시키고, 관전류초를 100, 200 mAs로 변화시켜 테이블 중앙에 놓인 팬텀을 총 6가지 조건으로 횡단 스캔하였다. Image J를 이용하여 원형의 ROI를 설정하고 물질부 CT number의 정량값과 주변부 CNR의 정량값을 구하였다. 물질부의 CT number 평균값은 PLA-나무20%, PLA-대리석20%, PLA-카본20%, PLA-100%, PLA-알루미늄20%, PLA-구리20% 순으로 높아졌고(p<0.05), kV 증가에 따른 CT number는 음의 상관성을 확인하였다. 주변부의 CNR값은 PLA-대리석20%, PLA-구리20%, PLA-카본20%, PLA-나무20%, PLA-알루미늄20%, PLA-100% 순으로 증가 됨을 확인하였다(p<0.05). 각 재료별 HU 값과 유사한 인체 장기는 PLA-구리20%는 치밀골, PLA-알루미늄20%는 해면골, PLA-100%는 응고된 혈액, PLA-카본20%와 PLA-대리석20%는 간, 근육, 비장, PLA-나무20%는 지방과 유사한 값이었다. 또한 모든 재료에서 필라멘트 주변부 영상을 흐리게 하는 흐림 현상을 확인하였고 특히 PLA-100%에서 영상 주변부 흐림 현상이 가장 많은 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 의료용팬텀 제작의 재질을 선정할 때 목표 장기의 HU 값을 반영하고, 팬텀 주변부의 흐림 현상을 고려하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단하며 본 연구가 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 본 연구는 커피 시장에 대한 시장 규모가 커지고 점차 확대되고 있는 대형 브랜드 커피전문점을 중심으로 점포선택 속성(가격, 종업원서비스, 점포의 입지, 점포 분위기)을 4가지로 규정하여, 그 선택속성들과 커피전문점 이용자의 특성이 어떠한 관계가 있는 가를 알아보자 하였으며, 또한 커피전문점의 브랜드 태도에는 어떠한 영향을 미치는 바를 조사하였다. 그 결과 이용자의 특성에 따라 차이가 났지만 점포선택속성 중 점포의 분위기와 점포입지가 점포선택 속성에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 토대로 본 연구는 커피전문점이 충성고객을 확보하기 위해 어떠한 속성에 중점을 두어야 하며 아울러 소비자의 욕구에 부합되는 선택 속성을 연구하고자 한다. 특히, 유통학문의 연구방법론은 크게 2가지로 규범적 연구방법론, 실증적 연구방법론(경험적 분석기법, 통계적 분석기법)이 있는데, 이중에 본 연구는 실증적 연구방법론중에서 통계적 분석기법을 활용한다. 본 연구의 한계점으로는 첫째, 응답자의 분포가 수도권에 편중되어 있다는 것이다. 본 연구에 이용된 2차 자료를 보면 서울지역의 응답자 수는 경기도 지역에 비해 압도적으로 많았고 경기도 지역의 응답자 수 또한 6대 광역시에 비해 압도적으로 많았다. 따라서 지역 표본이 해당 지역의 모집단을 대표하는데 어느 정도의 한계가 있다고 판단된다. 둘째, 응답자의 비율을 측정척도로 사용한 점이다. 본 연구에서 점포선택속성에 대한 지각정도와 브랜드 선호도를 측정함에 있어서 응답자의 비율을 척도로 사용하였는데 이를 통해 점포선택속성과 브랜드 선호도 간의 관계, 집단 간 차이를 비교적 정확하게 규명하기에는 한계가 따른다. 따라서 향후 연구에서는 위의 한계점을 보완하고 다음과 같은 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것이라 판단된다. 커피전문점들이 점차 지방으로 확대되어 가고 있는 추세에 비추어 볼 때, 6대 광역시 뿐만 아니라 지방 소도시의 소비자들까지 포함하여 설문조사를 실행하여 1차 자료를 수집하는 것이다. 특히 설문조사에서 관련된 변수들을 리커트 척도로 측정하되 점포선택속성에 대한 지각정도, 브랜드 선호도 외에도 재 구매의도까지 포함시킬 수 있다. 따라서 상관관계분석, 다중회귀분석, 분산분석 등을 통해 더욱 정교한 실증분석을 실행하여 소비자의 태도와 행동에 대한 보다 세밀한 분석결과를 도출해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 소맥의 조숙품종육성을 위하여는 춘파성품종의 조숙인자를 추파성품종에 도입하는 것이 중요한 과제이므로 춘추파성 소맥품종의 일장과 온도조건에 따른 출수반응 및 출수기를 지배하는 생리적 요인의 구명과 출수기의 유전에 관한 지견을 얻고저 본실험을 실시하였다. 수원 작물시험장 전작포장 및 온실에서 1970년부터 조숙품종 Yecora F70, 중숙품종 수계 169호, 육성 003 만숙품종 장광, Bezostaia, Sturdy, Blueboy 등 8개품종을 상호교배하여 1972년부터 1973년에 온실 및 초자실을 이용하여 양친과 Diallel cross F$_1$을 고온장일, 고온단일, 저온장일, 저온단일의 4처리조건 및 포장조건에서 3조합의 F$_1$, F$_2$, BC$_1$, BC$_2$ 및 양친들은 고온단일조건에서 F$_1$, F$_2$ 9조합 및 그 양친은 포장에서 각각 재배 실험하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 춘화 처리후의 주요엽수는 일장 및 온도조건에 관계없이 일정하였으나 주간의 출엽속도에만 영향을 주었으며 춘파성품종은 추파성품종보다 주간엽수가 적었다. 2. 지엽전개일수의 일장 및 온도반응은 출수속도에 의하여 결정되며 일장과 온도에 따른 출엽속도의 차이는 하위엽보다 상위엽에서 컸다. 3. 춘화처리후의 출수기에 대한 생리적 요인은 일장반응과 순수조만생이며, 출수일수의 품종간 변이는 고온단일에서 가장 크고 포장조건에서 가장 적었으며 고온장일, 저온장일, 저온단일을 비슷하였다. 4. 일장차이에 의한 출수일수의 품종간 반응은 장광, Parker가 크고, Yecora F70, 수계 169 호 등 기타 품종들은 비교적 적었으며, 장광, Parker는 단일이 의하여 출수일수가 크게 지연되는 감광성 품종이었다. 5. 일장반응은 온도의 영향을 크게 받고 출수일수의 품종간차이는 저온일 빼보다 고온일 때 현저히 나타났다. 6. 온도차이에 의한 출수일수의 품종간 반응은 비슷하였으며, 어떠한 품종이라도 고온에 의하여 출수가 촉진되고 저온에 의해서 지연되었다.7. 출수일수에 대한 유전은 일장 및 온도조건이 변하여도 조숙은 만숙에 대하여 부분우성이었으며, 우성의 정도는 단일에서 크고 장일에서 적었다. 8. 고온장일조건에서 출수일수의 품종간 차이는 수수조만성의 차이라고 할 수 있으며, 춘파성품종인 Yecora F70은 추파성품종에 대하여 우성정도가 컸고 추파성품종간에는 우성정도가 없거나 적었다. 이때의 유효 우성 유전자수는 1쌍의 대립유전자에 의해서 지배되나 다소의 미동유전자가 관여되었다. 9. 출수일수에 관여하는 비감광성은 감광성에 대하여 우성단인자차에 의하여 지배되었고 저온조건에서는 단일감응성의 발현정도가 둔화 또는 억제되었다. 10. 순수 조만성과 단일감응성은 모두 조숙이 만숙에 대하여 부분우성으로 표현되었다. 11. 출수기에 관여하는 감온성의 품종간반응은 대립유전자 및 비대립유전자의 지배를 받으며 같은 대립유전자를 가진 품종군에서는 비감온성이 감온성에 대하여 우성으로 표현되나 일장 및 순수 조만성보다는 그 정도가 미미하다. 12. 장광과 수계 169호 사이에는 감광성에 관여하는 1쌍의 대립인자 ee와 EE에 의하여 조만이 결정되었고, 장광과 Yecora F70사이에는 ee, enen과 EE, EnEn의 2쌍의 대립인자에 의하여 지배된다고 추정되었다. 이때 EE와 EnEn는 조숙방향에 상가적으로 작용하여 단일조건하에서는 EE의 효과가 EnEn의 효과보다 크다. 장일 조건하에서는 EE의 효과는 나타나지 않고 EnEn효과만 발현된다. En과 en 사이에 우열관계는 E와 e 사이보다 적고 상가적 작용을 하고 있다고 본다. 13. 본 실험의 포장조건에서는 2개정도의 우성주동유전자를 가정할 수 있으나 생육초기의 저온단일과 생육후기의 고온장일의 영향으로 2개의 우성유전자 표현이 불확실하며 F$_2$분리에 있어서는 일장 및 온도의 영향과 미동유전자의 영향으로 연속변이를 하였다. 14. 출수일수의 유전력은 0.51-0.72로서 어느 조건에서나 높은 경향으로 초기세대의 선발효과가 큰 것으로 인정되었으며, 환경에 의하여 다소의 차이가 있어 장일보다는 단일에서 유전력이 컸고, 저온보다는 고온에서 큰 경향이었다. 또한 감광성의 유전력은 0.86-0.76으로 컸으나 온도효과의 유전력은 적었다. 15. 출수기가 빨라지므로서 1수입수, 천입중, 수량이 낮아지는 상관관계를 보여 조숙다수성 품종선발이 어렵다는 결과를 보였으나 수수와는 부의 상관(유의성은 없음)을 보여 조숙품종으로서 수수형 품종을 선발하면 수량을 올릴수 있는 약간의 가능성도 보였다.
