본실험은 우리 나라 중부지방에 있어서의 수도의 재배 시기를 이동함에 따르는 실용제형질의 변화를 구명하기 위하여1958~'60년의 3개년에 걸쳐 농업시험장(현 작물시험장) 답작과(수원)에서 시행한 실험으로서 공시품종은 조만성, 초형 등 생태적특성을 달리하는 연산.수원 8002.오조.팔달 및 조광의 5품종을 공시하였으며, 파종기는 3월 2일 ~7월 10일까지를 10일 간격으로 14회에 걸쳐 파종하였고, 또 각 파종기마다 각각 못자리 일수를 30일, 40일, 50일, 60일, 70일 및 8일묘로 하여 이앙하여 실험하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 출수기 : 1) 파종기가 지연됨에 따라서 출수기도 거의 일직선으로 지연되나, 그 정도는 조생종에서 크고 만생종은 작으며, 또 못자리 일수가 길어짐에 따라서 커진다. 2) 출수까지의 일수는 각 품종 모두 파종기의 지연에 따라서 거의 일직선으로 단축하나, 품종에 따라 그 정도의 차이가 있어서 조생종은 단축일수가 작고 만생종이 크다. 그리고 동일품종 내에서도 못자리 일수가 길어짐에 따라 단축일수는 작아졌다. 또 최단축일수에 도달하는 시기도 조생종은 빠르나 만생종은 늦어진다. 또 못자리 일수가 긴 구에서 그 시기는 빨라진다. 품종 및 못자리 일수에 따라 차이가 있으나 어느 시기 이후의 파종기가 되면 단축을 나타내지 않게 되고, 다시 파종기가 늦어지면 한냉한 기후의 영향을 받아 출수일수는 오히려 연장된다. 3) 파종기(X)와 출수까지의 일수(Y)와의 회귀직선식 Y=a+bX의 계수 b(출수일수단축율)와 평균일수일수와는 고도의 상관이 인정되며, 평균출수일수가 클수록, 즉 만생종일수록 파종기의 지연에 의한 출수촉진일수가 컸었다. 4) 어느 품종의 파종기가 동일역일이면 못자리 일수가 극단으로 길지 않은 범위 내에서는(파종기의 지연에 따라서 출수까지의 일수가 직선적으로 단축되는 범위내에서의) 출수일수의 년차간의 변이는 크지 않으므로 목적하는 품종에 대한 수회의 파종기에 걸쳐 출수기의 변동을 조사하여 실험식(파종기와 출수까지의 일수와의 회귀직선식)을 구해 두면 임의의 재배시기에 있어서의 출수기를 추정할 수 있다. 5) 파종기가 3월하순~6월중순, 못자리 일수가 30~50일의 범위에서는 보통기재배에 있어서의 품종의 출수기의 조만을 가지고 그 전후에 해당하는 파종기에 있어서의 각각의 품종에 대한 출수기를 추정할 수 있다. 2. 성숙기 : 6) 출수기가 지연됨에 따라서 성숙한계 출수기의 범위 내에서는 성숙기도 거의 일직선으로 지연된다. 그 정도는 품종 및 못자리 일수의 장단에 의한 차이가 크다. 평균온도의 영향을 받는 범위 내에서는 출수기(X)가 지연됨에 따라서 성숙기간 중의 평균온도(Y)는 그것에 따라서 저하하며 품종간에 차이가 있으나, 전체적으로 보아 양자의 관계를 8월 1일부터 9월 13일까지의 범위에서는 Y=25.53-0.182X의 회귀직선식으로 나타낼 수 있다. 7) 품종의 조만생에 의한 성숙기간에 있어서의 평균온도의 차이가 심하며, 조생종은 최고 28$^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 경과하나 만생종은 22$^{\circ}C$에 불과하다. 8) 성숙기간중의 평균온도(X)와 성숙일수와의 관계는 극히 높은 상관이 인정되며, 양자의 관계를 Y=82.30-1.55X의 회귀직선식으로 표시할 수 있었다. 성숙기간중의 평균기온이 18~28$^{\circ}C$의 범위 내에서는 온도가 1$^{\circ}C$ 상승함에 따라서 성숙일수는 1.55일 단축되는 결과가 되며, 품종별로는 관산이 2.24일로서 단축정도가 컸고, 수원 8002가 0.78일로서 가장 적었다. 따라서 수원지방에 있어서는 평균온도가 18~28$^{\circ}C$의 범위에서는 온도가 상승함에 따라 성숙속도가 빨라진다고 할 수 있다. 9) 각 파종기별로 본 출수까지의 일수(X)에 대한 성숙기간중의 적산온도(Y)와의 관계는 거의 완전한 정의 상관관계가 있고, 성숙기간중의 적산온도는 어느 범위 내에 있어서의 파종기의 이동에 의한 차이는 비교적 작다. 3. 간장 및 수장 : 10) 품종간의 차이는 있으나 비교적 조파가 된 구간에는 간장에 큰 변화는 없으나 계속 파종기가 지연되어 만파가 되면 공시품종 모두 간장의 감소가 뚜렷해졌다. 또 간장의 감소정도는 약묘에서 완만할 뿐만 아니라, 5월 21일~6월 10일 파종과 같이 비교적 만파를 하더라도 별로 감소되지는 않으나, 80일묘와 같은 노숙묘인 때는 보통기재배에서도 급격히 감소한다. 11) 수장의 변화도 간장과 동일한 경향을 보이나 파종기의 지연에 의한 수장의 변화는 30~40일묘에서는 거의 인정되지 않았고, 못자리 일수가 길어지면 수장의 감소가 뚜렷해진다. 4. 수수 : 12) 파종기가 지연됨에 따라서 일정한 시기까지 계속수수는 감소하다가 어느 시기 이후가 되면 새로이 고차분얼의 다량발생으로 수수가 증가한다. 그 시기는 못자리 일수에 따라 차이가 있으며, 30~40 일묘는 5월 31일~6월 10일 파종기인 만파에서 수수가 최대로 감소하며, 70~80일묘의 경우 4월 11일~4월 21일의 파종기에서 이미 수수가 최대로 감소한다. 5. 지경수 : 13) 지경수는 파종기가 지연됨에 따라서 어느 일정한 시기까지는 변화가 없으나, 그 시기가 지나면 수당지경수의 감소가 현저하다. 14) 지경수가 감소되기 시작하는 시기도 30~40 일묘에서는 5월 3일 이후의 파종기가 되나, 80일묘의 경우 5월 31일 파종에서 이미 감소될 뿐만아니라, 5월 31일 파종이 되면 지경수가 3~4개에 불과하였다. 6. 비중과 천입중 : 15) 파종기의 이동에 따라 비중은 서서히 증가하나 어느 시기를 넘으면 급격히 증가하며, 이를 2개의 상이한 회귀직선으로 표시할 수 있다. 16) 이 양직선이 교차되는 지점을 성숙가능한계기로 보면 이 시기는 못자리 일수와 밀접한 관계가 있어서 30~40일묘는 6월 10일 반중기에 해당하나, 70~80일묘에서는 5월 1일로서 못자리 일수가 길어짐에 따라 성숙한계기는 당겨진다. 17) 천입중은 보통기재배에서 가장 무겁고 극조기재배를 하거나 만기재배에서 천입중은 저하한다. 7. 고중 및 완전정조중 : 18) 품종의 조만에 큰 영향없이 III~IV 파종기까지의 조기재배 하에서는 못자리 일수의 장단에 의한 고중의 큰 변이는 없으나, 파종기가 계속 이동하여 보통기재배가 되면 못자리 일수가 길어짐에 따라 차차 고종이 감소되어 오다가 만파가 되자 그 감소정도가 급격해졌다. 19) 파종기(X)와 정조수량(Y)과의 관계는 품종ㆍ못자리 일수를 종합하여 직선에 가까운 포물선으로 나타낼 수 있었다(Y=77.28-7.44X$_1$-1.001X$_2$). 따라서 조파시에는 정조수량의 변이가 작으나 어느 시기보다 파종기가 늦어짐에 따라서 정조수량은 감소하며, 그 정도는 만파인 경우에 심하고, 또 못자리 일수가 길어짐에 따라 더욱 현저하다. 20) 출수일수(X)에 대한 정조수량(Y)의 관계는 품종ㆍ못자리 일수를 구별하지 않고 보아다 회귀직선식으로써 나타낼 수 있었으나, 출수일수가 60~110일 정도까지는 조생종이 수량이 많고 만생종은 만기재배에 해당하므로 정조중의 감소가 심하였고, 출수일수가 140일 정도 이상이 되면 정조중이 거의 증가하지 않은 경향이 뚜렷하였다.

실험 I. : 본 실험은 단수수에 대하여 재배시기를 이동함에 따르는 실용 제형질의 변화를 구명하기 위하여 1968~1969년까지 2개년에 거쳐 작물시험장 특용작물 연구실(수원)에서 시행되었으며 품종은 조만생, 초형, Syrup형, Sugar형 등 생태적 특성을 달리한 17개품종이 공시되었으며 묘종기 양년 모두 4월 5일부터 8월 25일까지 20일 간격으로 8회에 걸쳐 파종하여 조사한 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 발아기(발아일수)는 파종기를 앞당겨 저온하에 파종하면 발아에 소요되는 일수가 많고 파종기가 늦어서 기온이 상승됨에 따라 발아 일수가 직선적으로 단축되다가 8월 25일 이후의 파종부터는 다시 지연되는 경향이었다. 발아기간의 일평균온도와 발아일수간에는 높은 부상관관계가 있으나 이와는 반대로 발아일수와 적산온도간에는 고도의 정상관이 인정되었다. 2. 파종기의 지연에 따라 출수일수는 거의 직선적으로 단축된다. 공시된 품종간에 평균출수일수차는 30.2일이란 큰 차이가 있었다. 이들을 10일간격으로 조, 중, 만생군으로 구별하면 조생군은 평균출수일수가 78.5$\pm$4.5일범위에 속하고 중생군은 88.5$\pm$4.5일, 만생군은 98.5$\pm$4.5일로 되었다. 출수단축한계 종종기는 조생군이 제VI-VII파종기인 7월 15일$\pm$8월 5일까지이고 중생군은 제VI파종기인 7월 15일까지, 만생군은 제IV파종기인 6월 5일까지이었다. 3. 파종기(x)와 출수까지의 일수(y)와의 회귀직선식 y=a+bx의 손수(출수까지의 일수의 단축율)와 평균출수까지의 일수와는 고도의 정상관관계가 있었다. 4. 파종에서 출수기까지의 생육경과에 있어서 일평균기온이 높을수록 출수일수가 단축되어 조생종은 24.2$^{\circ}C$에서, 중생종은 23.8$^{\circ}C$에서, 만생종은 22.9$^{\circ}C$에서 최대단축율을 보이었고 따라서 출수전 30일간의 평균기온이 약 22$^{\circ}C$부터 $25^{\circ}C$에 이르기까지 가속적으로 출수소요일수가 단축되다가 그뒤 약 21$^{\circ}C$이하가 됨에 따라 다시 지연되는 경향이었다. 5. 초장의 절대치는 품종간에 차이는 있으나 비교적 조파구간에는 초장에 큰 변이가 없었고 파종기가 늦어짐에 따라 짧아졌다. 초장의 신장속도는 파종기가 늦어짐에 따라 현저하게 빨라지고 특히 조생종이 만생종보다 더욱 가속적인 경향이었다. 따라서 최고초장과 최저초장과의 절대치의 차이는 조생종일수록 적고 만생종일수록 큰 격차를 보이었다. 6. 간직경에 있어서도 만생종은 일반적으로 조기파종할수록 굵고, 조생종과 중생종은 4월 25일 파종기가 가장 굵은 편이며 이보다 파종기가 지연 가늘어지는 경향이었다. 7. 간중은 품종의 조만생에 따라 약간의 차이는 있으나 대체로 적기(4월 25일~5월 15일)보다 조기 혹은 만기 파종하면 작아지나 파종기 이동에 따른 간중의 변화는 품종의 조만성에 따라 양상을 달리하여 조생종은 4월 25일 내외, 중생종은 4월 25일~5월 15일 내외, 만생종은 4월 5일~5월 15일 내외의 파종기에서 최고수량에 달하고 이후 직선적으로 감소하였다. 8. Brix 도는 품종에 따라 절대치가 다르며 또한 파종기가 5월 15일 이후로 늦어짐에 따라 직선적으로 감소되어 파종기(x)와 Brix 도(y) 간에 고도의 부상관관계를 볼 수 있었다. 9. 출수후 40~45일경의 절간부위별 Brix 도는 상부 제 1~제3절간 부위가 최고에 달하고, 제4절간부터 서서히 낮아지다가 지상 제2절부위에 가서 다시 약간 높아지는 경향이었다. 그러나 출수전까지는 이와 반대의 경향이었다. 10. 간중당분에 대한 파종기별 축적상황은 파종기가 지연됨에 따라 거의 직선적으로 낮아지며 품종에 따라 차이는 있으나 6월하순 이후의 파종기는 당원료작물로서 거의 무가치한 낮은 함량을 나타내었다. 11. Brix도 및 간중당분은 출수기부터 축적이 시작되어 출수후 약 40~45일에 최고에 달하고 순당율도 같은 경향으로 생육의 진전과 더불어 높아져서 순당율과 Brix 도간, 순당율과 간중당분간에 각각 높은 정의 상관관계가 존재한다. 12. 가제당량과 파종기간의 관계를 보면 중생종과 만생종은 4월 25일, 중생종은 5월 15일 파종기가 최고에 달하고 이보다 파종이 지연됨에 따라 급격히 감소되는 경향으로 파종기(x)와 가제당량(y)사이에 1% 이상의 높은 부의 상관을 보았다. 13. 파종기 및 제형질간의 상호관계를 보면 파종기가 지연됨에 따라 발아일수, 발아기간의 적산온도, 출수일수, 출수일수까지의 적산온도, 초장, 간직경, 간중, Brix 도, 간중당분, 순당율, 가제당량 등은 모두 고도의 부상관 및 회귀관계이었고 출수일수(x)와 Brix도, 당도, 순당율, 가제당량, 초장, 간장(y)등 간, Brix 도(x)와 순당율, 가제당량, 간중(x)과 가제당량(y)간, 또한 출수시의 일장(x)과 Brix 도, 출수일수, 당도, 순당율, 가제당량(y) 등 간에는 고도의 정상관을 인정할 수 있었다. 실험 II: 실험 I에 공시된 품종중에서 생태 및 유전적으로 다른 11품종만을 이면교배법에 의하여 교잡된 F$_1$ 및 교배친의 출수기, 간장, 간중, Brix 도 및 Syrup yield 등에 대하여 우성정도, 교배조합능력 및 유전분석을 한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 출수기는 조, 만숙방향으로 완전 혹은 초월우성인 특정조합이 있기는 하나 대체적으로 중간성 및 부분우성이었고 GCA 및 SCA가 높은 특정조합친을 인정할 수 있었다. 따라서 출수에 관여하는 유전인자의 분배비는 50:50으로 추정되었으며 유전력도 높아서 초기세대부터 선발이 가능할 것으로 본다. 2. 간장은 잡종강세도가 높았으며 장간의 방향으로 초월성인 특정조합도 있으나 완전 혹은 부분우성으로 추정된다. GCA 및 SCA는 일반적으로 높은 편이었으며 관여된 우성 및 열성유전자는 거의 50:50으로 분배되며 유전력은 낮았다. 3. 간중은 대부분 정의 방향(다수)으로 완전우성에 가까운 부분우성으로 작용하나 특정조합에 따라 초월우성인 것과 부분우성인 것이 있었다. GCA와 SCA는 비교적 높은 교배친을 인정할 수 있으며 유전자의 작용방향은 열성유전자가 많이 관여되고 복잡한 분리가 일어날 것으로 추정되며 유전력은 비교적 낮았다. 4. Brix 도에 대한 우성정도 및 방향은 교배조합에 따라 고 Brix 및 저 Brix로 나타났으나 일반적으로 초우성 내지 완전우성으로 나타났고 GCA 및 SCA는 Brix 도가 높은 품종일수록 높은 경향이므로 고당성 육종에는 역시 높은 당분함량을 가진 교배친이 유리할 것으로 추정된다. 5. Syrup 종에 대한 우성정도는 많은 방향으로 초월 혹은 완전우성으로 추정되며 잡종강세도는 대단히 높았다. GCA와 SCA의 관계는 일정하지 않으며 GCA가 높은 품종은 SCA가 낮은 경향이었다. 교배친의 우성대립인자 대 열성대립인자의 빈도는 거의 동수로 나타날 것으로 추정된다.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.
