Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Daedon($LR_1$) Supplementation and Eumgok($KI_{10}$) Draining on changes of cerebral blood flow in normal rats. Methods : Regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure(MABP) in normal rats are observed, and those mechanisms were also investigated with pre-treatment of indomethacin (IDM) and methylene blue(MTB) each. Results : In this study, $LR_1$ supplementation and $KI_{10}$ draining elevated level of rCBF after 30 min, but MABP level was lowered at 30 min, then recovered toward normal level. Pre-treatment with indomethacin (IDM), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, inhibited increase of rCBF effectively, and pre-treatment with methylene blue(MTB), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, also inhibited increase of rCBF levels. On the other hand pre-treatment with IDM or MTB did not affect MABP levels. Conclusions : In conclusion, these results suggest that $LR_1$ supplementation and $KI_{10}$ draining can increase rCBF, and the mechanisms are thought to be related to both of cyclooxygenase and Guanylate cyclase pathways.

Objectives: SimJeok-Hwan(CP, Cardiotonic Pills) was made to treat patients with coronary arteriosclerosis, angina pectoris and hyperlipidemia. This study was designed to investigate the effects of CP on Proliferation rates neuroglia cells and protective effect of CP against oxidative stress, and also investigate the effects on regional Cerebral Blood Flow(rCBF) in normal rats. Methods: In this experiment, effects of CP on proliferation rates of neuroglia cells were measured using modified MTT methods. Oxidative stress was induced by treatment with 200 mM of hydrogen peroxide for 2 hr. rCBF and MABP were measured using Laser doppler flowmeter. Results: Treatment with CP elevated proliferation rates in C6 cells. In addition, CP protected cell death of C6 cells induced by oxidative stress. In results, rCBF was elevated by treatment with CP in normal rats. But, Mean Arterial Blood Pressure(MABP) did not affected by CP. In addition, the elevation of rCBF was blacked by pre-treatment with 1 mg/kg of indomethacin effectively. On the other hand, pre-treatment with 0.01 mg/kg of methylene blue did not affect rCBF level in normal rats. Conclusions: In conclusion, these results suggest that CP can act as anti-oxidant to protect neuroglia cells and also suggest that CP can elevate rCBF, which are involved in cyclooxygenase pathway.

A simple constitutive model for viscoelastic suspensions is discussed in this paper. The model can be used to predict the rheological properties (relative viscosity and all stresses) for viscoelastic suspensions in shear and elongational flow, and the constitutive equations combine a 'viscoelastic' behaviour component and a 'Newtonian' behaviour component. As expected, the model gives a prediction of positive first normal stress difference and negative second normal stress difference; the dimensionless first normal stress difference strongly depends on the shear rate and decreases with the volume fraction of solid phase, but the dimensionless second normal stress difference (in magnitude) is nearly independent of the shear rate and increases with the volume fraction. The relative viscosities and all the stresses have been tested against available experimental measurements.

연구배경 : 만성기침환자에 있어서 비폐색과 같은 주관적인 상기도 증상을 객관적인 지표로 나타내어 비교할 수 있게 하기 위해, 최근 비교적 높은 재현성을 보이는 것으로 보고된 비강최대흡기유속을 측정하여 만성기침환자들에서 비폐색을 객관적으로 측정해보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 정상인 7명에서 하루 2회씩 3일 동안 휴대용 폐활량 측정기를 이용하여 비강최대흡기유속과 폐기능검사를 시행하였다. 이들 7명을 포함한 총 32명의 정상인들과 만성기침환자 32명을 선별하여 최초 첫 방문 시에 비강최대흡기유속과 폐기능검사를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 정상인 7명에 대해서는 비교적 일관된 비강최대흡기 유속과 $FEV_1$ 및 FVC를 얻을 수 있었다. 만성기침환자는 남자 14명, 여자 18명으로 총 32명이었으며 나이는 $41.4{\pm}15.9$세였으며, 정상인은 남자 22명, 여자 10명으로 총 32명이었으며 나이는 $39.8{\pm}18.6$세였다. 만성기침환자군과 정상인군 사이의 연령 및 폐기능검사 상의 차이는 없었다. 만성기침환자들에서 비강최대흡기유속은 $2.25{\pm}0.68\;L/sec$, 정상인들에서는 $2.75{\pm}1.00\;L/sec$로 만성기침환자에서 의미 있게 낮았다(p=0.02). 만성기침환자들 중, 후비루종후군환자들이 27명으로 가장 많았으며, 비강최대흡기유속은 $2.18{\pm}0.66\;L/sec$로 정상인 $2.75{\pm}1.00\;L/sec$ 보다 더욱 의미 있게 낮았다(p=0.006). 결 론 : 비강최대흡기유속은 만성기침환자들에 있어서 주관적인 비폐색 증상을 객관적으로 보여주는 지표이다. 비강최대흡기유속은 비교적 재현성 있는 지표이며, 정상인에 비해서 만성기침환자, 특히 원인 질환이 후비루 증후군인 환자들에서 특히 감소되었다. 하지만, 양군간의 값이 중복되는 범위가 많아서 진단 및 감별진단의 지표로서의 가치는 좀 더 많은 대상에 대한 연구에 의하여 확인되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The patterns of renogram in patients with Korean hemorrhagic fever were evaluated with clinical course and renal hemodynamic changes in various clinical stages. The renal plasma flow was measured by hippuran blood clearance using $^{131}I$-ortho-iodohippurate and hippuran renogram was analysed by means of quantitative and qualitative methods in 26 patients of Korean hemorr hagic fever. The results obtained with this study were as follows; 1. During the oliguric phase of Korean hemorrhagic fever, the renogram showed non-functioning (flat) or obstructive pattern. The group of patients with non-functioning pattern of renogram had more severe impairement of renal function and grave prognosis than the group with obstructive pattern of renogram. 2. During the diuretic phase, the renogram showed obstructive or dysfunction or normal pattern, which was related with the recovery of renal function. Obstruction pattern of renogram was observed till the 2nd week of diuretic phase. Normal pattern of renogram began to appear by the 2nd week of diuretic phase. 3. During the convalescent phase of Korean hemorrhagic fever, 40% of patients showed dysfunnction pattern of renogram, and the recovery of abnormal renogram in Korean hemorrhagic fever was more delayed than the recovery of clinical features and laboratory findings. 4. The renogram showed normal pattern 6 months after onset of Korean hemorrhagic fever in all cases. 5. There was significant correlationship between the pattern of renogram and the decreace of renal plasma flow in the patients with Korean hemorrhagic fever. The decreace of renal plasma flow was maked in the patients with non-functioning pattern of renogram and was least in the patients with dysfunction pattern of renogram. All above results suggested that the renogram reflects the effective renal plasma flow and degree of renal impairement, and the renogram may be one of the important indexes which could give us a more precise prognosis in Korean hemorrhagic fever.

Flow structures around a rectangular prism have been investigated by using a PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) technique. A thick turbulent boundary layer was generated by using spires arid roughness elements. The boundary layer thickness, displacement thickness and momentum thickness were 650mm, 117.4mm and 78mm, respectively. The ratio between the model height(40mm) and the boundary layer thickness H/$\delta$, was 0.06. The Reynolds number based on the free stream velocity and the height of the model was 7.9$\times$10$^3$. The PIV measurements were performed at three different wall normal planes. Three recirculation regions at forward facing step, top of the roof and backward facing step are clearly seen and show three dimensional features. Dramatic changes of flow patterns are observed in the wake regions in the different spanwise wall normal planes. Instead of reattachment and recirculation zone, rising streamlines are depicted at the normal planes near the side wall due to the interaction with a rising horse shoe vortex. The peak of turbulent kinetic energy occurs at the separation bubble on top of the roof and the magnitude is 2.5 times higher compared with that of the wake region.

Regional cerebral blood flow were measured in 10 patients with Parkinson's disease and 12 normal persons using $^{99m}Tc-HMPAO$ SPECT. Reconstructed images were interpreted qualitatively and were compared with those findings of CT. For the quantitative analysis, six pairs of region of interest matched with the perfusion territories of large cerebral arteries and cerebellar hemisphere were determined. From the count values, indices showing the degree of asymmetry between right and left cerebral or cerebellar hemisphere, cerebral asymmetry index (ASI) and percent index of cerebellar asymmetry (PIA), and an index showing change of each region, region to cerebellum ratio (RCR) were obtained. ASI of normal persons and patients were $0.082{\pm}0.033$ and $0.108{\pm}0.062$, respectively and PIA were $-0.4{\pm}0.7%$ and $-0.7{\pm}1.0%$, respectively, which showed no statistically significant difference between normal persons and patients. Among 10 RCR's, those of both regions of basal ganglia and both regions of anterior cerebral artery were significantly reduced. We concluded that the most significant reduction of regional cerebral blood flow in patients with Parkinson's disease was observed in the regions of basal ganglia and in the regions of anterior cerebral artery, and the degree of change in hemispheric blood flow was similar in both hemisphere.

The dispersion of Lagrangian fluid particles in a turbulent channel flow is studied by a direct numerical simulation. Four points Hermite interpolation in the homogeneous direction and Chebyshev polynomials in the inhomogeneous direction is adopted by assesing the acceleration of fluid particles. In order to characterize the inhomogeneous Lagrangian statistics, accurate single particle Lagrangian statistics are obtained along the wall normal direction. Integral time scales of Lagrangian velocity can be normalized by Eulerian mean shear stresses.

This study reviews qualitatively the flow characteristics around th tidal gap during seadike closures using a three-dimensional model for shallow water equations. The Princeton Ocean Model(POM) was adapted and applied to the Sihwa Seadike which was closed in 1994. The simulated flow patterns around the gap showed that tidal velocities increase with the cross-sectional area during ebb tide. The accelerated flow extended to wider zones passing the gap, and shock waves were generated. Vertical tidal velocity profiles were affected as the bottom scours developed beyond normal conditions.
