백인여성들을 대상으로 골관절염과 골다공증 발생사이에 역상관 현상이 존재함을 관찰하고 보고한 기존의 연구결과를 통해 두 질환간 관련성이 존재하지 않나 추측해 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서도 이런 관련성이 존재하는지를 파악하기 위해, "골관절염에 이환된 여성의 골밀도가 이환되지 않은 여성의 골밀도에 비해 유의하게 높을 것"이란 가설을 세우고 구리시민을 대상으로 실시된 건강 영양진단 조사 자료를 분석함으로써 이를 검증하고자 하였다. 대상 표본인구는 미리 설정된 조사구를 이용한 다단계 표본추출법을 이용하여 선정하였다. 1997년 8윌 18일부터 9월 10일까지의 조사기간 동안, 총 1,656명의 대상자가 선정되었으며 이중 867명이 조사에 응하여 수진율은 52.4%였다. 이 중 여성의 수는 519명이었다. 519명의 여성중 골밀도 측정, 방사선촬영, 신체계측을 모두 시행받은 420명을 대상으로 분석을 진행하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 대상자의 일반적 특성 분석 결과: 평균 골밀도는 $0.493g/cm^2$, 평균 연령은 43.0세, 평균 신체비만지수는 $23.9kg/m^2$였다. 폐경을 맞이한 사람의 수는 106명, 자궁적출술을 시행받은 사람의 수는 19명이었다. 골관절염을 진단할 수 있었던 경우는 고관절염 0례, 슬관절염 64례, 손관절염 2례가 있었다. 2. 단변량 분석 결과: 슬관절염 이환 여부에 따른 평균 골밀도 비교 결과, 비이환군에 비해 이환군의 평균골밀도가 유의하게 낮았다(0.4269 대 $0.5057g/cm^2$). 그러나, 고관절염 및 손관절염 이환자는 수가 적어 이환여부에 따른 골밀도 비교분석을 실시하지 못했다. 폐경 여부에 따른 평균 골밀도 비교 결과, 폐경전군과 폐경군, 자궁적출군 사이에 평균 골밀도의 유의한 차이가 있었다(0.5204대 0.4206대 $0.4881g/cm^2$). 또한, 당뇨 이환 여부에 따른 평균 골밀도 비교 결과, 당뇨군과 내당력부전군, 정상군 사이에 평균 골밀도의 유의한 차이가 있었다(0.4297대 0.4874대 $0.5057g/cm^2$). 이외에 연령, 총임신회수, 신체비만지수, 체지방이 골밀도에 대해 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있었다. 3. 다변량 분석 결과: 다른 변수의 영향을 통제한 상태에서 골관절염과 골밀도간의 관련성을 밝히기 위해 단변량 분석에서 골밀도와 유의한 관련성이 있었던 변수들을 포함한 다중회귀분석 방정식을 만들어 검정하였다. 그 결과, 슬관절염 이환 여부는 골밀도에 대해 유의한 관련성을 보이지 않았다. 그러나, 연령과 폐경은 골밀도에 대해 유의한 음의 관련성이 있었다. 당뇨, 총임신회수, 신체비만지수, 체지방은 골밀도에 대해 유의한 관련성이 없었다. 대상자를 폐경 여부에 따라 층화하여 다중회귀분석을 시행한 결과, 폐경군에서는 연령이, 자궁적출군에서는 연령 및 슬관절염 이환이 골밀도에 대해 유의한 음의 관련성이 있었다. 이상의 연구 결과는 백인을 대상으로 시행한 기존의 다수 연구 결과들을 지지하는 내용이 아니다. 우리나라 여성에서 왜 이런 결과가 발생하였는지를 설명할 수 있는 생물학적 개연성에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 또한, 앞으로 단면조사연구가 아닌 시계열적인 연구를 통해 본 연구 결과를 다시 검증하는 것이 바람직할 것이다.

목적 : 본 연구는 국내 암성통증관리지침이 제시된 후 환자들의 통증관리에 대한 만족도, 만족 및 불만족 요인, 통증관리전략을 규명하여 앞으로의 통증관리에 있어 의료인이 지향해야할 세부적인 방향을 제시하기 위함이다. 방법 : 2002년 7월부터 11월까지 서울소재 2개 대학병원 혈액종양내과에 입원 또는 외래치료중인 암환자 59명을 대상으로 하였으며, 미국통증학회의 Patient Outcome Questionnaire(APS-POQ) 및 여러 선행연구를 참고로 연구자들이 구성한 설문지 및 의무기록 열람을 통해 자료를 수집하여 분석한 조사연구이다. 결과 : 1) 대상자의 특성 : 연구대상자의 24시간 동안 가장 심했을 때 통증 평균은 6.74점($0{\sim}10$점 범위), 24시간 평균 통증의 평균은 3.80점이었으며, 통증조절이 이루어진 후 느낀 통증의 정도는 평균 2.93점이었다. 일상 생활에 지장을 주는 정도 합계 평균은 $25.03{\pm}12.82$점($0{\sim}50$점 범위)으로 중등도의 지장을 느끼고 있었으며, 통증에 대한 환자의 염려 항목 중 3점 이상($0{\sim}5$점 범위)인 항목은 질병악화, 중독, 그리고 내성에 대한 항목이었다. 2) 암성통증관리현황 : 진통제를 적절히 복용하고 있는 대상자는 66.1%(39명)이었다. 대상자의 33.9%만 통증조절을 위해 약물이외의 간호중재방법을 사용한 적이 있었고, 의료진으로부터 통증관리에 대한 교육을 받아본 대상자도 35.6%로 나타났다. 3) 통증관리에 대한 환자의 만족도 및 그 이유 : 통증관리에 대한 평균 만족 정도는 $4.19{\pm}1.14$ ($1{\sim}6$점 범위)이었으며, 72.9%(43명)의 대상자가 만족한다고 응답했다. 불만족 하는 이유는 '통증조절 후에도 통증이 감소되지 않았다' '통증을 호소했을 때 빨리 혹은 시기적절하게 대처해주지 않았다', '환자가 통증을 호소할 때, 무관심하며 형식적으로 대했다', '약물 투여방법, 작용시간, 부작용 등 통증 관리에 대한 정보제공이 없었다' 이었으며, 만족하는 이유는 '통증조절 후 통증이 감소했다', '통증을 호소할 때 의료진이 관심을 가져주었다', '의사나 간호사가 신속하게 통증조절을 해주었다' '의사를 신뢰하기 때문' 이었다. 4) 암성통증관리의 만족 또는 불만족에 영향을 미치는 요인 : 만족 집단과 불만족 집단의 통증정도 및 일상생활에 지장을 미치는 정도에 있어서 두 그룹간 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 통증관리에 대한 환자의 염려 항목 중 '훌륭한 환자는 통증을 호소하지 않는 자이다'에 있어서 만족 집단의 평균점수가 불만족 집단의 평균점수보다 통계적으로 매우 유의하게 높았다. 결론 : 선행연구들에 비해 암환자의 통증관리에 대한 만족도는 증가하였으나 아직도 30%정도의 대상자는 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 암환자의 통증 관리에 대한 만족도 향상을 위해 통증관련 약물, 통증 완화를 위한 간호중재방법 및 환자들의 통증과 관련된 잘못된 지식을 개선하는 내용이 포함된 환자교육이 절실히 요구된다.

백혈구수와 고혈압과의 관계를 알아보기 위해 1985년에 일부 농촌 거주자와 1986년에 일부 도시 거주자를 대상으로 혈액학적인 검사와 장기별로 기능검사를 통해서 건강선별조사를 했던 자료를 이용했다. 농촌거주자는 1985년에 경상북도 경산군에서 남자 206명, 여자 203명을 마을, 통, 반을 기준으로 다단계 집락추출법으로 추출했다. 도시 거주 대상자는 1985년 12월에 대구시에 거주하고 있는 20세 이상의 주민의 성별, 연령별 구성비율에 부합되게 농촌과 같은 표본추출방법으로 600명을 선정했으나 600명중 384명만이 본 조사에 응해주어서 나머지 인원은 피보험대상자들의 정기 신체검사를 위해 대학병원 건강관리과에 내원한 사람들 중에서 성, 연령을 짝지어서 추출했다. 이들 자료에서 백혈구수 측정이 빠진 사람, 고혈압력을 포함한 질병 유소견자와 검사상 극도의 비정상적인 수치를 보이는 자들을 농촌 거주자에서 36명 (8.8%), 도시 거주자에서 29명 (4.8%)을 제외시켜서 최종분석에 이용된 자는 도시가 571명, 농촌이 373명이었다. 백혈구수 측정은 ELT-8 Laser shadow method 를 이용했으며 단위는 $cells/mm^3$ 였다. 혈압 측정은 Aneroid 혈압계를 사용해서 표준화한 후 측정했다. 고혈압자의 정의는 수축기혈압 140 mmHg/확장기혈압이 90 mmHg 이상인 자로 했다. 농촌과 도시를 합한 총대상자에대해 고혈압자와 정상 혈압자간의 백혈구수의 평균을 비교하면 정상 혈압자에서 $6490.61{\pm}1941.32$, 고혈압에서 $6965.93{\pm}1997.01$로서 고혈압자에서 백혈구수의 평균이 통계적으로 유의하게 더 높았으며 (P=0.00), 농촌에서 동일한 방향의 유의한 차이를 보였다 (P=0.03). 그 외의 거주지와 성별로 층화한 각 층에서는 유의한 평균차이를 보이는 결과는 없었다. 총대상자에서 백혈구수 1/5분위수를 기준으로 했을 때 2/5분위수의 비차비가 0.99 (95% confidence interval, CI 0.62-1.59), 3/5분위수가 1.41 (95% CI 0.90-2.21), 4/5분위수가 1.76(95% CI 1.14-2.72), 5/5분위수가 1.80 (95% CI 1.15-2.82)로서 백혈구수가 증가 함에따라 고혈압의 유병율이 일정하게 상승하는 것을 알 수 있었으며 경향분석에서도 유의한 경향($X^2_{trend}=5.53,\;df=1,\;P<0.05$)을 나타내었다. 나머지 층에서는 유의한 비차비도 없었으며 유의한 경향 역시 보이지 않았다. 그러나 거주지와 성별로 층화한 각 층에서 연령, 흡연과 음주량을 다중지수회귀분석으로 통제를 했을 때 단일분석시 통계적인 유의성을 보였던 전체 대상자의 비차비는 통계적으로 유의하지 않게 되었고 그 크기 역시 작아지고 불안정해졌다. 전체적으로 비차비의 크기가 조금씩 줄었으며 경향분석에서도 유의한 경향을 보인 층은 없었다. 이러한 사실은 백혈구수와 고혈압과의 가설을 처음으로 제시했던 Friedman등의 연구가 고혈압의 예측변수를 찾기위해 800여개의 변수와 고혈압발생과의 관계를 보는 과정에서 우연히 발견된 통계적인 1종오차의 결과 일지도 모른다는 것을 시사해주는 결과이다.

본 연구는 2003년에 행해진 연구이나 일반적으로 라이프스타일은 미시적 차원인 특정개인으로부터 거시적 차원인 사회전체에 이르기까지 여러 규모의 차원으로 파악되고 있으며 이는 개인의 전반적인 활동이나 인식에 영향을 주는 생활양식의 개념으로 여겨지는 점과 다른 선행연구들을 살펴볼 때 일반적으로 10년을 주기로 라이프스타일에 따른 변화를 살펴본 연구들이 많은 점으로 미루어 볼 때 본 연구 결과가 현재의 라이프스타일을 반영할 수 있는 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 전국 남녀 대학생의 라이프스타일에 따른 신체계측, 식행동, 건강관련 생활습관 및 영양섭취실태를 비교하고자 설문조사를 실시하였으며 조사결과는 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 연령은 남학생 평균 23.7세, 여학생 평균 21.6세였다. 남학생의 경우, 체중은 '개방적 유행추구형'군이 64.1 kg으로 다른 군에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 것으로 조사되었으며, 여학생의 경우, 신장과 체중은 '성취적 가족추구형'군이 평균 160.9 cm, 50.7 kg으로 '소극적절약 외모지향형'군의 평균 162.7 cm, 52.7 kg과 '개방적 유행추구형'군의 평균 163.1 cm, 53.0 kg에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 균형 잡힌 식사 여부에 관한 질문에서 "항상 균형 잡힌 식사를 한다"고 응답한 비율은 '적극적 건강추구형'군이 23.3%로 다른 군에 비해 유의적으로 높은 응답율을 보였다. 신용카드로부터 식비 지출금액의 경우 '개방적 유행추구형'군이 월 평균 23.7만원을 사용한데 비해 '비소비 대인관계추구형'군은 월평균 8.5만원을 식비로 지출한다고 응답하여 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 건강관련 생활습관과 관련하여 '적극적 건강추구형'군이 다른 군에 비해 운동량은 많은 반면 음주와 흡연은 적게 하는 것으로 조사되었다. 결식의 경우 '소극적절약 외모지향형'군이 유의적으로 가장 적은 결식율을 보였으나 라이프스타일 유형과 상관없이 모든 대학생들의 하루 중 3끼 이상 결식하는 경우가 80% 이상으로 나타나 대학생들의 올바른 식습관 형성을 위한 영양교육이 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 체중조절을 하는 이유로는 '비소비 대인관계추구형'의 16.2%가 "건강을 위해서"라고 응답한 반면 '소극적절약 외모지향형'과 '개방적 유행추구형'의 24.8%와 26.3%가 "외모를 위해서"라고 응답하여 유의적인 차이를 보였으나 체중조절 방법으로는 대부분이 "약물복용", "운동요법", "비만클리닉" 등의 순인 것으로 조사되었다. 라이프스타일 유형에 따른 영양소 섭취상태는 남학생의 경우 '개방적 유행추구형'군이 '적극적 건강추구형'과 '성취적 가족추구형'군에 비해 유의적으로 높은 비타민 C의 섭취량을 보였으며 여학생의 경우 '적극적 건강추구형'군이 '성취적 가족추구형'군에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 비타민 $B_2$, 칼슘 및 철분 섭취량을 보였다. 그러나 전반적으로 볼 때 라이프스타일에 관계없이 남녀 대학생 모두 에너지와 칼슘 섭취량이 한국인 영양섭취기준의 70% 수준으로 나타났으며 특히 여학생의 경우 철분의 섭취량이 한국인 영양섭취기준의 80% 수준으로 매우 낮은 섭취율을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 경제발전과 사회구조의 변화에 따라 대학생들의 식행동, 건강관련 생활습관 및 영양소 섭취실태도 라이프스타일에 따라 다르게 나타나는 것을 볼 수 있다. 그러므로 대학생 시기의 올바른 라이프스타일의 확립 및 영양밀도가 높은 식품섭취를 통해 건강한 생활을 영위할 수 있도록 학교나 지역사회 및 정부차원에서의 지속적이고 체계적인 영양교육이 필요하다. 또한 일단 성립된 바람직하지 않은 라이프스타일은 쉽게 변화하지 않으므로 이론 위주의 영양교육보다는 실제적인 행동변화를 유도할 수 있는 적극적인 영양교육 프로그램의 개발이 필요한 것으로 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
