인공 심장의 연구에 있어서 혈류 역학 변수의 추정은 두말할 필요도 없이 매우 중요하다. 그러나 이 중요도에 견주어 볼지라도 실세계에 적용될 수 있는 연구 결과는 희박하다. 본 논문에서는 이동 작동기형 완전 인공 심장을 위한 혈류 역학 변수 추정 문제가 연구되었다. 추정 방법론으로서 다차원 선형 보간 기법을 이용하였다. 모의 순환 장치의 실험으로 제안된 방법을 검증하였으며 좋은 성능을 보였다.

The purpose of the present study was to establish the mechanism of the generation of atherosclerosis by analyzing the hemodynamic variables in the coronary artery where atherosclerosis occurs frequently. From the previous results, the stenosis phenomena due to atherosclerosis were related to not only biochemical reaction between blood and blood vessel but also the hemodynamic factors like flow separation and oscillatory wall shear stress. The present study aimed to investigate the causes of the generation and progression of atherosclerosis in the coronary artery. This study also aimed to develop the softwares which generate automatically three dimensional vascular models obtained by the angiogram images and the computer vision techniques. In the present study, the flow patterns for full three-dimensional hemodynamic characteristics were analyzed. To understand the three-dimensional hemodynamic characteristics, the wall shear stress distributions and secondary flows were investigated quantitatively.

전체 심혈관계의 혈류역학적 특성을 분석할 수 있는 수치해석 방법을 개발하였다. 이는 12개의 요소들로 구성된 lumped parameter모델에 기초하고 있으며 인체의 신경계에 의한 자율조절기능을 모사하기 위해 주로 혈압의 단기적 조절을 위한.baroreflex system뿐 아니라 cardiopulmonary reflex 메커니즘가지도 구현하여 모델에 포함시켰다. 또한 교감 및 부교감 신경에 의한 자극-반응 전달을 구현함에 있어 생리학적 데이터에 기초한 방법을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 수치해석 코드를 검증하기 위하여 우선 보통 상태의 심혈관계에 대하여 혈류역학적 계산 결과를 기존의 참고문헌들에서의 값들과 비교 검토하였다. 심혈관계 모델의 혈류역학적 자극에 대한 반응 결과를 조사하기 위하여. 20% 출혈이 발생하는 경우와 LBNP(Lower Body Negative Pressure) 모사를 수행하였다. 두 경우 모두. 비교적 실험치와 잘 일cl하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 LBNP 수행 시, 외부압력의 크기가 커질수록 baroreflex만을 포함하고 있는 방법은 baroreflex와 cardiopulmonary reflex 모두를 포함하고 있는 방법에 비하여 다소 부정확한 결과를 보여주고 있는데. 이는 cardiopulmonary reflex 메커니즘의 중요성을 보여주고 있다.

박동유동조건에서 관상동맥 내의 유동특성과 혈류역학적 인자 분포를 선행연구에서 수행하여 혈류역학이 관상동맥 내의 협착현상과 연관관계가 있음을 밝혔다. 동맥경화증의 호발부위인 관상동맥 분지부에서 혈류역학적 변수를 분석하여 동맥경화증의 발생기전을 규명하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 동맥경화증에 의한 협착현상은 혈액과 혈관벽 사이의 생화학 반응뿐 아니라 유동박리나 벽전단응력과 같은 혈류역학적 인자와도 관계 있음을 확인하였다. 관상동맥 분지부의 분지각이 증가할수록 분지부 단면에서의 재순환영역의 크기가 증가하고 교란유동이 발생하게 된다. 이 재순환영역이 관상동맥에서 동맥경화의 시작점으로 의심되는 영역이라 할 수 있다.

5마리의 잡견(18~22kg)을 이용하여, 경막외강에 생리식염수를 연속 점적하여 뇌사를 유발시킨다. 뇌사발생시 점의 뇌압은 122.0$\pm$6.25mmHg이며 뇌사후 30분 최고치에 도달하였다. 뇌사를 유발시키는데 필요한 생리식염수의 양은 4.8$\pm$1.0ml이었고, 143.0$\pm$30.9분이 필요하였다. 뇌사가 올때까지 동맥압은 변하지 않지만 그후 점차 떨어지고, 맥박수는 뇌사 30분 후 안정시 보다 50% 정도 증가한 최고치에 달한다. 체온, 심박출량, 폐동맥압, 좌심실 이완말기압등의 혈역학적 지표는 뇌사진행 중에는큰 변화가 없었고, 심실 기외수축이 일시적으로 나타난 이외에는 부정맥도 관찰되지 않았다. 급작스러운 뇌압 상승 모델에서 보였던 혈역학적 변화는 관찰되지 않았다.

Objective : To investigate the morphological and hemodynamic parameters associated with middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysm rupture. Methods : A retrospective study of 67 consecutive patients was carried out based on 3D digital subtraction angiography data. Morphological and hemodynamic parameters including aneurysm size parameters (dome width, height, and perpendicular height), longest dimension from the aneurysm neck to the dome tip, neck width, aneurysm area, aspect ratio, Longest dimension from the aneurysm neck to the dome tip (Dmax) to dome width, and height-width, Bottleneck factor, as well as wall shear stress (WSS), low WSS area (LSA), percentage of LSA (LSA%) and energy loss (EL) were estimated. Parameters between ruptured and un-ruptured groups were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristics were generated to check prediction performance of all significant variables. Results : Sixty-seven patients with MCA bifurcation aneurysm were included (31 unruptured, 36 ruptured). Dmax (p=0.008) was greater in ruptured group than that in un-ruptured group. D/W (p<0.001) and the percentage of the low WSS area ($0.09{\pm}0.13$ vs. $0.01{\pm}0.03$, p<0.001) were also greater in the ruptured group. Moreover, the EL in ruptured group was higher than that in unruptured group ($6.39{\pm}5.04$ vs. $1.53{\pm}0.86$, p<0.001). Multivariate regression analysis suggested D/W and EL were significant predictors of rupture of MCA bifurcation aneurysms. Correlation analyses revealed the D/W value was positively associated with the EL (R=0.442, p<0.01). Conclusion : D/W and EL might be the most two favorable factors to predict rupture risk of MCA bifurcation aneurysms.

It is needless to say that the hemodynamic variables estimation is a very important study for the artificial heart. Even though its importance there have not been satisfactory results which can be applied to the real-world situations. This paper surveys and recommends how to cope with the problem of hemodynamic variable estimation for the moving-actuator type total artificial heart (MA-TAH).

Objective : This study was conducted to compare the effect of etomidate with that of thiopental on brain protection during temporary vessel occlusion, which was measured by burst suppression rate (BSR) with the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor. Methods : Temporary parent artery occlusion was performed in forty one patients during cerebral aneurysm surgery. They were randomly assigned to one of two groups. General anesthesia was induced and maintained with 1.5-2.5 vol% sevoflurane and 50% $N_2O$. The pharmacological burst suppression (BS) was induced by a bolus injection of thiopental (5 mg/kg, group T) or etomidate (0.3 mg/kg, group E) according to randomization prior to surgery. After administration of drugs, the hemodynamic variables, the onset time of BS, the numerical values of BIS and BSR were recorded at every minutes. Results : There were no significant differences of the demographics, the BIS numbers and the hemodynamic variables prior to injection of drugs. The durations of burst suppression in group E ($11.1{\pm}6.8$ min) were not statistically different from that of group T ($11.1{\pm}5.6$ min) and nearly same pattern of burst suppression were shown in both groups. More phenylephrine was required to maintain normal blood pressure in the group T. Conclusion : Thiopental and etomidate have same duration and a similar magnitude of burst suppression with conventional doses during temporary arterial occlusion. These findings suggest that additional administration of either drug is needed to ensure the BS when the temporary occlusion time exceed more than 11 minutes. Etomidate can be a safer substitute for thiopental in aneurysm surgery.

In this study, we modeled moving-actuator type Total Artificial Heart (TAH) with cardiovascular system as a form of electric circuit. The bronchial circulation, important for the imbalance between the left cardiac output and the right one, was considered and added to the model. In the model, the relations of hemodynamic variables, just as blood pressures, volumes, or flow rates of each part of body, can be expressed as simultaneous first order ordinary differential equations. To solve the equations by the numerical analysis, Runge-Kutta forth order approximation method was adopted. The simulation software (SimTAH), implemented in C++ as a window-based application program, was developed to display the hemodynamic variables and to receive control inputs from users. SimTAH was evaluated by comparison of the simulation results with the results of mock-circulation tests, in vitro.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of lowintensity resistance exercise combined with blood flow restriction on muscle activity and muscle fatigue to determine if such a combination may be an alternative to high-intensity resistance exercise in maintaining the muscle mass and strength and preventing degenerative loss of skeletal muscle and to provide basic data for presenting the effectiveness of exercise. METHODS: The interventions were provided for five weeks, four sessions a week, once a day, 60 minutes a session to Experimental group I (n = 13), in which low-intensity resistance exercise was applied by combining blood flow restriction with the biceps curl and experimental group II (n = 12), in which only high-intensity resistance exercise was applied. As a pre-test, the biceps brachii muscle activity and fatigue were measured by surface electromyography, and the hemodynamic variables, such as blood pressure and heart rate, were measured. The post-test was performed identically to the pre-test and compared and analyzed with the pre-test. RESULTS: A significant difference within-group was observed in the biceps brachii muscle activity and fatigue in experimental group I and only in biceps brachii activity in experimental group II. No significant differences were observed between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Since the low-intensity resistance exercise combined with blood flow restriction has similar effects to high-intensity resistance exercise, it is considered an alternative for improving muscle function in groups unable to perform high-intensity resistance exercise.
