We analyzed image factors to determine the characteristic factors that need for intelligent replenishment system of the auto film processor. We processed the serial 300 sheets of radiographic films of chest phantom without replenishment of developing and fixation replenisher. We took the digital data by using film digitizer which scaned the films and automatically summed up the pixel values of the films. We analyzed characteristic curves, average gradients and relative speeds of individual film using densitometer and step densitometry. We also evaluated the pH of developer, fixer, and washer fluid with digital pH meter. Fixer residual rate and washing effect were measured by densitometer using the reagent methods. There was no significant reduction of the digital density numbers of the serial films without replenishment of developer and fixer. The average gradients were gradually decreased by 0.02 and relative speeds were also gradually decreased by 6.96% relative to initial standard step-densitometric measurement. The pHs of developer and fixer were reflected the inactivation of each fluid. The fixer residual rates and washing effects after processing each 25 sheets of films were in the normal range. We suggest that the digital data are not reliable due to limitation of the hardware and software of the film digitizer. We conclude that average gradient and relative speed which mean the film's contrast and sensitivity respectively are reliable factors for determining the need for the replenishment of the auto film processor. We need more study of simpler equations and programming for more intelligent replenishment system of the auto film processor.

I. 목적 : Half beam을 이용하여 인접한 조사면 치료시, 경계부위에서 발생할 수 있는 Jaw Position에 의한 기하학적 오차는 정확한 선량전달에 문제를 일으킨다. 이에 본 저자는 QA용 필름을 이용하여 조사면 setting 방법과 조작자간의 오차를 분석하고 이를 최소화할 수 있는 방법을 찾고자 한다. II. 대상 및 방법 : 본 실험은 6MV선(CL2100C, Varian, USA)을 대상으로 하였으며, 폴리스틸렌팬톰($25{\times}25cm2$)을 SSD 100 cm으로 고정한 후, 측정용 필름(X-omat V2, Kodak, USA)을 5 cm 깊이에 위치 시켜 조사면의 중심에서 경계를 이루는 비대칭 조사면 ($0/7.5{\times}15,7.5/0{\times}15 cm$)을 쌍으로 조사하였다. 조사된 필름은 자동현상기를 이용하여 현상한 후 농도계(Densitometer, Multidata, USA)를 이용하여 중심축상에서의 농도분포를 측정하여 인접한 조사면에서의 오차를 분석하였다. 조작방법과 조작자간의 오차를 분석하기 위하여 5명의 방사선사를 대상으로 auto및 manual set-up을 실시하였고 각 방법의 평균 오차를 분석하기 위해 5회 반복하였다. III. 결과 : 필름 농도곡선을 이용하여 두 조사면이 만나는 경계에서의 오차를 분석한 결과, remote console set-up의 경우 주변 조사면에 비해 $-0.16{\pm}3.44\%$, pendant방식에서는 $+5.04{\pm}4.37\%$로 나타났고, 조작자간의 유의성이 관찰되었다. IV. 결론 : 비대칭 조사면을 이용한 근접 조사면의 치료시 pendant 방식보다 remote console 방식에서 오차가 적 게 나타나므로 Auto set-up 기능의 이용은 치료시에 조사면 경계에서의 선량 오차를 최소한으로 줄이는데 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다. 또한 manual 방식으로 set-up 시 오차의 편차가 크게 나타나므로 치료시에 세심한 주의가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

In children with cerebral palsy, bone density is decreased by disturbance of bone remodelling due to lack of normal weight bearing and muscle contraction through physical activity. Loss of bone density cause fracture, delays treatment with immobilization, and leads to functional limitation. The purpose of this study was to investigate bone mineral density of lumbar spine in children with spastic quadriplegia and diplegia. Six spastic quadriplegia and 14 spastic diplegia were evaluated in this study. QDR 4500 X-ray densitometer was used to measure bone density at lumbar spine (L1~L4). Children with cerebral palsy showed lower bone density than that of normal children. Bone density in children with spastic quadriplegia and diplegia was $-1.812{\pm}.962$, $-1.519{\pm}.935$, respectively. However, there was no significant differences in bone density between children with spastic quadriplegia and diplegia. There was no significant difference in bone density relation to motor development level, height, and weight. Further study is needed to find the appropriate interventions for preventing loss of bone density in children with cerebral palsy.

This study was conducted to clarify the mode of action and the positional specificity of Trichosporon cutaneum lipase during the course of hydrolysis of triolein and monoolein mixture by thin-layer chromatography. 1. The hydrolytic activity of the lipase to oleyl glycerides was in the order of triolein>diolein>monoolein. 2. Both of triolein and diolein were hydrolyzed by the lipase at high and almost the same rate. 3. The hydrolysis of monoolein by the lipase was very slow compared to the other two oleyl glycerides. 4. This lipase appeared to have a very low specificity toward the outer chains of triolein.

Changes in the expression level of splenocyte $IFN-{\gamma}$mRNA of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats infected with Paragonimus westermani were analyzed by competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by southern blot. The template RNA was extracted from the splenocytes of rats infected with 20 metacercariae of P. westermani. The products of competitive RT-PCR were subjected to southern blot and enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL), and analyzed with a densitometer. In comparison with that of uninfected control rat splenocytes (value of 1), the levels of mRNA expression of $IFN-{\gamma}$had changed to 0.747 at 1 week post infection (PI), 0.00175 at 2 week PI, 0.0217 at 3 week PI, 0.194 at 4 week PI and then to 0.537 at 5 week PI. The level at 7 week PI had returned to 1.25, comparable with that of uninfected rats. These results show that, when infected with p. westermani, the levels of $IFN-{\gamma}$ mRNA of SD rat splenocytes were remarkably reduced by more than 500 times at 2 week PI and restored to normal level at 7 week PI.

The Effect of protease (subtilisin Carlsberg) on the removal of hemoglobin as protein soil was studied. The hydrolysis characteristics of subtilisin Carlsberg was examined by electrophoretic techniques. The fragmentation patterns of hemoglobin were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The hydrolysis efficiency was evaluated by analysis of protein bands shown on gels before and after hydrolysis by using densitometer. 1. The hydrolysis of hemoglobin by subtilisin Carlsberg was increased markedly with the increase of the enzyme concentration. 2. The hydrolysis of hemoglobin by subtilisin Carlsberg was effectively increased in proportion to increasing of the hemoglobin concentration up to a certain point, but it began to decrease above the point. 3. The hydrolysis of hemoglobin by subtilisin Carlsberg followed the first order kinetics, yielding a rate constant of $4.05\time10^{-4}S^{-1}s$. 4. The hydrolysis of hemoglobin by subtilisin Carlsberg was highest at $50^{\circ}C$ and was decreased markedly at $80^{\circ}C$. 5. The hydrolysis of hemoglobin was comparatively low at pH 7.0~8.0, and highest at pH 11.0.

Purpose: To compare the film density of Insight dental X-ray film (Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, NY, USA) with that of Ektaspeed Plus film (Eastman Kodak) under manual and automatic processing conditions. Materials and Methods : Insight and Ektaspeed Plus films were exposed at three different exposure conditions with an aluminum step wedge on the films under the three different exposure times. The exposed films were processed by both manual and automatic ways. The Base plus fog density and the optical density made by exposing step wedge were calculated using a digital densitometer (model 07-443, Victoreen Inc, Cleveland, Ohio, USA). The optical densities of the Insight and Ektaspeed film versus thickness of alumimun wedge at the same exposure time were plotted on the graphs. Statistical analyses were applied for comparing the optical densities of the two films. Results: The film density of both Insight films and Ektaspeed Plus films under automatic processing condition was significantly higher over the manual processing. The film density of Insight films was significantly higher than that of Ektaspeed Plus films on both automatic and manual processing conditions. Conclusion: The radiation exposure time can be reduced when using Insight over Ektaspeed Plus film. To take the full advantage of reducing exposure time, Insight film should be processed automatically.

Ever since the introduction of offset lithography, an operator have looked for ways to improve the process by reducing need for dampening solution. Lithography like off-set printing is processed using the repellent properties between water and oil, so all inks for lithography printing must work with dampening solution. The dampening solution may cause the emulsification of ink by the printing pressure in the printing nip. Emulsified ink changed viscosity, tack and causes problems such as bad transfer, uniform density and printed mottle. For a high quality web printing, we studied the effect of emulsified heat-set web inks on the printability, such as amount of ink transfer, printed density and uniformity. For this study, we were carried out by using IGT printability tester C1. For determination of ink properties using the spread meter and Thwing Albert Ink-o-meter, and using the densitometer and image analysis for printed quality determination. The experimental results of this study, we look forward to can be used as the basis for improve of the web print quality.
