X선 분할조사가 식물의 생장에 미치는 영향은 아직까지 보고된 바 없어, 우리 연구에서는 X선을 새싹 보리에 분할조사 후 생장과 클로로필 농도의 변화를 알아보았다. 각 조사그룹은 대조군, 1회조사군(30 Gy 1회), 2회조사군(15 Gy 씩 2회), 3회조사군(10 Gy 씩 3회)으로 나누었고, 군당 20립 씩 사용하였다.대조군을 제외한 실험군에 대해 방사선종양학과의 선형가속기(Clinac IS, VERIAN, USA, 2011)를 이용하여 총 선량 30 Gy X선을 조사하였다. 조사 조건은 6 MV X-ray, 조사거리(Source-surface distance) 100 cm, 조사면적(field size) 18×10 cm², 선량률(dose rate) 600 MU/min 에서 실시하였다. 분할조사는 24시간 간격으로 동일조건에서 선량만을 변경시켜 조사하였다. 보리의 생장은 종자별로 X선 조사 후 4일차 부터 1일 간격으로 9일차까지 줄기의 길이를 측정하였다. X선이 보리 싹의 엽록소 형성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 분광광도법을 이용하여 클로로필 a 농도를 측정하였다. 통계분석은 SPSS ver. 26.0(Chicago, IL, USA)을 사용하여 분산분석(One-way ANOVA)을 실시하여 대조군(gold standard)에 대해 실험군의 줄기 길이 차이를 분석하였다(사후 검정 Dunnett T3). 발아전조사그룹에서 대조군이 실험군 보다 모든 측정일차에서 길이가 컸고, 1회조사군에서 2회조사군, 3회조사군으로 갈수록 줄기길이가 짧게 나타나 분할조사 횟수가 증가할수록 길이는 짧았다. 대조군과 1회조사군은 모든 측정일차에서 대조군의 길이가 컸지만, 통계학적인 유의한 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 발아후조사그룹에서는 대조군이 실험군 보다 모든 측정일차에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 길이가 컸고, 1회조사군에서 2회조사군, 3회조사군으로 갈수록 길이가 길게 나타나 분할조사 횟수가 증가할수록 길이도 길었다. 발아전조사그룹 보다 발아후조사그룹이 클로로필 농도가 높았고, 발아전조사그룹과 발아후조사그룹 모두 대조군에 비해 실험군에서 모두 클로로필 농도가 높았다. 또한, 분할횟수가 적을수록 클로로필 농도는 높아지는 결과를 보였다. X선의 분할조사는 새싹보리의 생장과 클로로필 농도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

배경 : 담낭 및 간외 담도계 악성종양의 5년 생존율은 $10\%$ 이하로 비교적 예후가 불량한 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 질환에서 방사선치료가 증상 완화 및 전체 생존율을 향상시키는 것으로 알려져 있어, 본원의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하여, 방사선치료의 역할을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 1984년 2월부터 1995년 11월까지 인제대학교 부속 백병원 방사선종양학과에서 담낭 및 간외 담도계 악성종양으로 완치 목적의 방사선 치료를 받은 43명의 환자중 3000cGy 이하의 방사선량 을 조사받은 10명을 제외한 총 33명의 환자(담낭 악성 종양은 21명, 간외 담도계 악성종양 12명)를 대상으로 하였다. 남녀 비는 전체 11명대 22명(담낭 악성종양 4:17, 간외 담도계 악성종양 7:5)이었고, 연령분포는 35-77세(중앙값 61세)이었다. 병기별로는 IV기가 19명으로 가장 많았으며, 재발후 방사선치료를 받은 경우가 3명 포함되었다. 방사선치료는 4MV 선형가속기를 사용하여 총 31.44-54.87Gy(중앙값 44.25Gy)가 조사되었고, 3명의 환자에서는 체외조사 전후로 근접치료가 추가되었다. 방사선조사 단독치료는 6명, 수술 후 방사선 치료는 27명에서 시행되었고, 이 중 16명만이 근치적절제술을 시행받았다. 항암화학요법은 17명에서 병행되었으며 이중 11명이 Mitomycin+5-FU+Leucovorin을 사용하였다. 결과 : 총 추적관찰 기간은 2-97개월(중앙값 8.5개월)이었다. 전체 환자의 2년 생존율은 $29.9\%$, 5년 생존율은 $13.3\%$로 나타났다. 질환별로는 담낭의 경우 2년 생존율이 $34.5\%$, 간외담도계 악성종양은 $27.8\%$이었다. 수술 후 방사선치료를 시행받은 환자들의 2년 생존율은 $30.1\%$이며, 이 중 근치적 절제술을 시행받은 16명의 2년 생존율은 $43.8\%$로, 부분절제 및 우회수술후 방사선치료를 시행받은 17명의 $20.7\%$보다 높게 나타났으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다(p>0.05). 병기별로는 1, II기의 2년 생존율이 $66.6\%$, III, IV기는 $23.6\%$로 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(p<0.05). ECOG에 의한 임상수행능력정도에 따른 2년 생존율은 2급과 3급이 각각 $41.9\%$, $16.7\%$로 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 항암화학요법을 병행한 군의 2년 생존율은 $40.5\%$로 항암화학요법을 병행하지 않은 군의 $22.6\%$ 보다 비교적 높게 나타났으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다(p>0.05). 결론 : 본 연구결과 전체 환자의 2년 생존을과 5년 생존율은 $29.9\%$와 $13.3\%$로 나타났으며, 병기가 낮고, 임상수행능력이 높을수록 생존율이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 근치적 절제술후 방사선 치료를 받은 환자와 항암화학요법을 병행한 군의 치료성적이 비교적 높은 것으로 볼 때, 담낭 및 간외담도계 악성종양환자중 일부에서 적극적인 병합치료요법이 생존율의 향상에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1980-'90년대에 쌀의 자급생산이 지속되고 생활수준 향상에 따른 양질미 수요가 점증되면서 자포니카 다수성 품종의 미질 개선에 힘을 크게 기울이게 되었고 식미향상을 위한 육종연구 와 효율적 평가 기술개발 연구에 박차를 가하게 되어 쌀의 이화학적 특성과 식미 및 밥 물리성간 상관과 식미의 객관적 평가방법 개발, 양식미 쌀 및 가공적성 특수미 개발 등 그 동안 많은 연구성과를 올리게 되었다. 1990년대에 밥맛이 매우 좋은 고품질 자포니카 품종과 대립, 심백미, 향미, 유색미 등 가공용 특수미 품종을 개발 보급하였고 식미와 용도에 대하여 식미검정계, 신속점도측정계 및 texture 분석계 등을 이용하여 검토하였다. 최근에는 아밀로스 함량이 9%로 찹쌀과 맵쌀의 중간 성질을 가진 중간찰 품종인 '백진주벼'와 배유가 보얀 멥쌀인 '설갱 벼'를 비롯하여 라이신 함량이 높은 '영안벼' 육성하여 쌀의 가공 이용성과 기능성을 한층 높혀 놓았다. 식미와 여러 가지 미질 특성간 관련성에 관한 연구 결과를 요약해 보면 다음과 같다. 쌀의 상온흡수율 및 최대흡수율은 K/Mg율 및 알칼리 붕괴도와 유의한 부의 상관성을 나타내었으며 가열흡수율이 높은 품종일수록 밥의 용적팽창률이 컸다. 수분함량이 낮은 경질인 쌀일수록 침지 20분 후의 상온흡수율과 최대흡수율이 더 높은 경향이었으며 이러한 흡수 특성은 쌀 단백질 함량이나 아밀로스 함량 및 식미와는 유의한 상관성이 없었다 취반 적정가수량은 품종에 따라 마른 쌀 무게의 1.45-l.61배의 변이를 나타내었고 평균은 1.52배였으며 알맞게 취사된 밥의 부피는 평균 쌀 부피의 2.63배가되었다. 쌀 형태, 알칼리붕괴도, 호응집성, 아밀로스 및 단백질 함량은 거의 비슷하지만 식미에 차이가 있는 자포니카 품종들을 사용하여 식미와 관련된 쌀의 이화학적 특성을 검토한 결과, 밥의 윤기와 식미 총평은 생산 연도에 따라 호화점도 특성 중 최고점도, 최저점도 및 응집점도와 밀접한 관계를 나타내었다. 밥맛이 가장 좋은 일품 벼는 쌀의 외층에 아밀로스 함량 분포가 낮고 쌀을 열탕에 담근 20분간 우러난 용출액의 요드 정색도가 낮고 증가정도도 완만하였다. 일품 벼는 밥맛이 떨어지는 동해 벼에 비해 밥알 횡단면의 주사형 전자현미경 사진에서 밥알 외층의 호화전분의 그 물망이 매우 치밀하고 속층의 전분립의 호화정도가 양호하였다. 식미총평은 식미관련 이화학적 특성과의 관계를 이용한 중회귀식에 의해 매우 높은 결정계수로 추정이 가능하였다. 밥노화의 품종간 차이는 α-amylase-iodine 법으로 비교할 수 있었는데 노화정도가 적었던 품종은 일품벼, 추청벼, 사사니시끼, 진부벼 및 고시히까리였다. 통일형 품종인 태백벼와 자포니카 품종 중 섬진벼가 비교적 밥노화가 빨랐다 일반적으로 밥맛이 좋은 품종이 밥의 노화정도가 느렸으며 찬밥의 탄력성이 큰 경향이었다. 또한 밥노화가 느렸던 품종은 최저점도가 높았고 최종점도가 낮았다 찬밥의 탄력성은 쌀의 마그네슘함량과 밥의 용적팽창률과 밀접한 관계를 나타내었다. 식은밥의 더운밥 대비 경도 변화율은 취반용출액의 고형물량과 취반용적 팽창률과 부의 상관을 나타내었다. 식미관련 주요 이화학적 특성은 밥의 노화와도 직접 간접으로 상관이 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 쌀의 여러 가지 식품 가공적성과 관련된 형태 및 이화학적 특성은 가공식품 종류에 따라 매우 다르다. 쌀 튀김성은 호응집성이 연질이거나 아밀로스 함량이 낮을수록 양호하며 지질함량이나 단백질 함량이 높으면 좋지 않은 경향이다. 심복백정도가 심할수록 튀김현미 정립률이 떨어지며 현미 강도가 높을수록 튀김률은 높은 경향이었다 쌀국수는 밀가루와 50% 혼합시에 쌀의 칼륨 및 마그네슘 함량이 높은 품종일수록 제면 총평이 낮은 경향이었고 제면이 양호한 것이 국수물의 용출고형 물량이 적은 경향이었다. 쌀빵 가공적성은 품종에 따라서 현미와 백미간에 현저한 차이를 나타내는 것이 있는데 현미에서 반죽의 부피 증가율이 큰 쌀일수록 푹신한 감이 있는 쌀방 제조가 가능하였으며 백미에서 단백질 함량이 높은 품종일수록 쌀빵이 더욱 촉촉한 느낌이 있는 경향이었다. 아밀로스 함량이 높고 호응집성이 경질인 쌀일수록 쌀빵의 탄력성이 더 높은 경향이었다. 쌀의 발효 및 양조적성은 심복백이 심한 쌀이나 새로운 돌연변이인 뽀얀 멥쌀이 홍국균이나 홍국균의 균사활착 밀도가 높고 당화 효소 역가도 높은 경향이었으며 쌀알이 대립이면서 단백질 함량이 낮은 쪽이 양조에 유리한 것으로 알려져 있다. 찰벼 품종도 여러 가지 이화학적 특성과 전분구조 특성의 차이에 따라 9개의 품종군으로 나누어 볼 수 있을 만큼 품종적 변이가 크며 이들 이화학적 및 구조적 특성간에 상호 밀접한 연관성을 나타내었으며 유과·인절미·식혜ㆍ미숫가루 등에 상당한 가공적성의 차이를 보였다. WTO 체제 출범이후 생산비와 가격 면에서 경쟁력이 약한 우리 쌀이 살아남기 위해서는 품질의 고급화와 쌀 가공식품의 다양화 및 고기능성 개발을 추구할 수밖에 없다. 따라서 이와 같은 노력은 벼 품종개발만으로 소기의 성과를 올리기 어렵고 쌀 식품의 고급화 및 다양화를 위한 여러 분야의 긴밀한 연구협력이 수반되지 않으면 안 된다.

연구배경: 폐확산능은 산소를 이용하여 측정하는 것이 가장 생리적이지만 폐모세혈의 산소분압측정이 어려워 임상에서는 일산화탄소를 이용하여 측정하고 있으며, 단회호흡(single-breath)폐확산능검사법이 가장 널리 사용되고있는 방법이다. 그러나 총폐용량까지 흡기한후 10초간 숨을 참는 과정을 기침, 호흡곤란 등이 있는 환자로선 수용하기 곤란하므로 이러한 과정없이 낮은 유량의 일회호기만을 필요로 히는 호흡내(intra-breath)폐확산능검사법이 고안되었다. 본 연구에서는 단회호흡법과 호흡내법으로 측정한 폐확산능간에 유의한 차이가 있는지 그리고 차이가 있다면 어떤 인자가 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 특정질환과 무관하게 임의로 73명을 선택하고 유량-용적곡선 검사를 3회 시행한후 노력성 폐활량(FVC)과 1초간 노력성호기량($FEV_1$)의 합이 가장 큰 검사에서 노력성폐활량, 1초간 노력성호기량, 1초간 노력성호기량의 노력성 폐활량에 대한 비($FEV_1$/FVC)를 구했다. 폐확산능은 5분간격으로 각각 3회씩 단회호흡법과 호흡내법으로 측정하였으며, 선형적 상관분석으로 어떤 인자가 두 방법간의 폐확산능의 차[단회호흡법과 호흡내법에 의한 각각의 폐확산능의 차이의 평균치(mL/min/mmHg)]에 영향을 미치는지를 평가하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 결과: 1) 단회호흡법 및 호흡내법 모두 검사내 재현성은 우수하였다. 2) 단회호흡법과 호흡내법으로 측정한 폐확산능간에는 전체적으로 유의한 상관관계가 있었지만, 두 방법의 측정치간에는 의미있는 치아가 있었다($1.01{\pm}0.35ml/min/mmHg$, p<0.01). 3) 단회호흡법과 호흡내법간의 폐확산능의 차이는 노력성폐활량과는 상관관계가 없었지만, 1초간 노력성호기량, $FEV_1$/FVC 및 환기배분의 지표인 메탄농도의 기울기와는 유의한 상관관계가 있었고 다중상관분석결과 $FEV_1$/FVC에 의한 영향이 가장 컸다(r=-0.4725, p<0.01). 4) 단회호흡법과 호흡내법간의 폐확산능의 차이와 $FEV_1$/FVC를 도식화하면 두 방법간의 폐확산능의 차이는 $FEV_1$/FVC가 50~60%인 구간에서 두 군으로 분리됨을 알수 있으며, $FEV_1$/FVC가 60% 이상에서는 두방법간에 유의한 차이가 없으나($0.05{\pm}0.24ml/min/mmHg$, p>0.1) 60% 미만에서는 유의한 차이가 있었다($-4.65{\pm}0.34ml/min/mmHg$, p<0.01). 5) 메탄농도의 기울기가 정상범위인 2%/L이내에선 단회호흡법과 호흡내법의 폐확산능이 모두 $24.3{\pm}0.68ml/min/mmHg$로 측정방법에 따른 차이가 없지만 2%/L를 초과한 경우에는 단회호흡법에 의한 폐확산능이 $15.0{\pm}0.44ml/min/mmHg$ 호흡내법에 선 $11.9{\pm}0.51ml/min/mmHg$로 두 방법간에 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.01). 따라서 $FEV_1$/FVC가 60% 미만일때는 호흡내법으로 측정한 폐확산능이 단회호흡법보다 의미있게 낮은 값을 보이는데, 그 이유는 주로 환기배분의 장애로 추정되지만 폐확산능 이 단회호흡법에서 과대평가되거나 폐확산능의 감소가 호흡내법에서 더 예민하게 나타 났을 가능정도 배제할수 없다. 결론: 73명을 대상으로 폐확산능을 단회호흡법과 호흡내법으로 측정해본 결과 호흡내법은 검사의 재현성도 우수하고 폐기능이 정상이거나 제한성 장애, 그리고 경도의 폐쇄성장애가 있는 경우에는 단회호흡법을 대체해서 사용할수 있지만, 중등도 이상의 폐쇄성장애가 있는 경우에는 단회호흡법보다 유의하게 낮은 검사치를 보였다. 호흡내법과 단회호흡법에 의한 폐확산능의 차이가 호흡내법이 단회호흡법에 비해 폐확산능의 감소를 예민하게 나타내주는 것인지 혹은 환기의 불균형에 의한 영향을 많이 받아서인지는 연구가 더 필요할 것이다.
