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.

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.

In view of its prevalence in the Far East area, a more detailed knowledge on the hookworm infection is one of the very important medical problems. The present study was aimed to; determine the infectivity of the artificially hatched ancylostoma duodenale larvae in man after its oral administration, evaluate the clinical symptomatology of such infection, determine the date of first appearance of the ova in the stool, calculate the blood loss per worm per day, assess the relation-ships between the ova count, infectivity(worm load), blood loss and severity of anemia. An erythrokinetic study was also done to analyse the characteristics of hookworm anemia by means of $^{59}Fe\;and\;^{51}Cr$. Materials and Methods Ten healthy male volunteers(doctors, medical students and laboratory technicians) with the ages ranging from 21 to 40 years were selected as the experimental materials. They had no history of hookworm infection for preceding several years, and care was taken not to be exposed to reinfection. A baseline study including a through physical examinations and laboratory investigations such as complete blood counts, stool examination and estimation of the serum iron levels was done, and a vermifuge, bephenium hydroxynaphoate, was given 10 days prior to the main experiment. The ancylostoma duodenale filariform larvae were obtained in the following manner; The pure ancylostoma duodenale ova were obtained from the hookworm anemia patients and a modified filter paper method was adopted to harvest larger number of infective larvae, which were washed several times with saline. The actively moving mature larvae were put into the gelatine capsules, 150 in each, and were given to the volunteers in the fasting state with 300ml. of water. The volunteers were previously treated with intramuscular injection of 15mg. of chlorpromazine in order to prevent the eventual nausea and vomiting after the larvae intake. The clinical symptoms and signs mainly of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, appearance of the ova and occult blood in the stool etc. were checked every day for the first 20 days and then twice weekly until the end of the experiment, which usually lasted for about 3 months. Roentgenological survey of the lungs was also done. The hematological changes such as the red blood cell, white blood cell and eosinophil cell counts, hemoglobin content and serum iron levels were studied. The appearance of the ova in the stool was examined by the formalin ether method and the ova were counted in triplicate on two successive days using the Stoll's dilution method. The ferrokinetic data were calculated by the modified Huff's method and the apparent half survival time of the red blood cells by the modified Gray's method. The isotopes were simultaneously tagged and injected intravenously, and then the stool and blood samples were collected as was described by Roche et al., namely, three separate 4-day stool samples with the blood sample drawing before each 4-day stool collection. The radio-activities of the stools ashfied and the blood were separately measured by the pulse-height analyser. The daily blood loss was calculated with the following formula; daily blood loss in $ml.=\frac{cpm/g\;stool{\times}weight\;in\;g\;of\;4-day\;stool}{cpm/ml\;blood{\times}4}$ The average of these three 4-day periods was given as the daily blood loss in each patient. The blood loss per day per worm was calculated by simply dividing the daily blood loss by the number of the hookworm recovered after the vermifuge given twice a week at the termination of the experiment. The iron loss in mg. through the gastrointestinal tract was estimated with the daily iron loss in $mg=\frac{g\;Hgb/100ml{\times}ml\;daily\;blood\;loss{\times}3.40}{100}$ 3.40=mg of iron per g Hgb following formula; Results 1. The respiratory symptoms such as cough and sputum were noted in almost all cases within a week after the infection, which lasted about 2 weeks. The roentgenological findings of the chest were essentially normal. A moderate degree of febril reaction appeared within 2 weeks with a duration of 3 or 4 days. 2. The gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, epigastric fullness, abdominal pain and loose bowel appeared in all cases immediately after the larvae intake. 3. The reduction of the red blood cell count was not remarkable, however, the hemoglobin content and especially the serum iron level showed the steady decreases until the end of the experiment. 4. The white blood cells and eosinophil cells, on the contrary, showed increases in parallel and reached peaks in 20 to 30 days after the infection. A small secondary rise was noted in 2 months. 5. The ova first appeared in the stool in 40. 1 days after the infection, ranging from 29 to 51 days, during which the occult blood reaction of the stool became also positive in almost cases. 6. The number of ova recovered per day was 164, 320 on the average, ranging from 89,500 to 253,800. The number of the worm evacuated by vermifuge was in rough correlation with the number of ova recovered. 7. The infectivity of ancylostoma duodenale was 14% on the average, ranging from 7.3 to 20.0%, which is relatively lower than those reported by other workers. 8. The mean fecal blood loss was 5.78ml. per day, with a range of from 2.6 to 11.7ml., and the mean blood loss per worm per day was 0.30ml., with a range of from 0.13 to 0.73ml., which is in rough coincidence with those reported by other authors. There appeared to exist, however, no correlation between the blood loss and the number of ova recovered. 9. The mean fecal iron loss was 2.02mg. per day, with a range of from 1.20 to 3.89mg., which is less than those appeared in the literature. 10. The mean plasma iron disappearance rate was 0.80hr., with a range of from 0.62 to 0.95hr., namely, a slight accerelation. 11. The hookworm anemia appeared to be iron deficiency in origin caused by continuous intestinal blood loss.

목 적 : 소아의 결핵성 뇌막염은 소아 결핵중 가장 심한 후유증을 남기므로 조기 발견과 치료를 요하는 질환으로 국내에서의 소아 결핵성 뇌막염 발생은 1980년대에 와서 전반적으 로 다른 폐외결핵과 함께 현저히 감소된 양상을 보이고 있다. 그러나 소아 결핵이 소멸되고 있지 않은 우리나라 실정에서 실제 결핵성 뇌막염은 지속적으로 발생되며, 발병이 낮아진 상황으로 인하여 임상 경험 결여와 무관심에 따른 문제점이 예견되고 있다. 이러한 관점에 서 전형적 또는 비전형적 소아 결핵성 뇌막염의 진단, 임상 특성, 합병증 및 예후 등에 관한 임상 연구는 요구되어 본 연구를 시행하게 되었다. 대상 및 방법 : 1985년부터 1996년 사이에 가톨릭의대부속 성모자애 병원, 성가 병원, 성 빈센트 병원, 의정부 성모 병원에 결핵성 뇌막염으로 진단되어 입원 치료 및 경과 관찰이 이루어진 44명의 환아를 대상으로 하였다. 이들 대상 환아들에서 결핵성 뇌막염의 진단적 기준, 초기 임상 특성, 신경학적 단계에따른 예후, 동반 합병증, 뇌 척수액 및 방사선 검사 소견들에 관한 내용을 의무 기록 내용을 통하여 후향적으로 연구하였다. 결과 : 1) 소아 결핵성 뇌막염의 발생은 1980년대 중반 이후에도 지속 되고 있으며, 3세 이하의 연령에서 높은 발병이 관찰되었다. 2) 이 질환의 진단은 활동성 결핵 환자와의 접촉력, 양성 결핵 반응, 항 결핵제 치료 반응, 뇌척수액 및 이외 가검물에서 결핵균 분리 또는 확인된 순으로 이루어 졌다. 이들 환아 들의 16%는 BCG 접종을 실시하지 않은 경우였고, 40%에서만 결핵 반응 검사상 양성이었다. 3) 내원시 주증세는 발열, 구토, 두통, 권면, 식욕 감소, 체중 감소, 경부 강직, 경련, 복통, 운동 장애순이었다. 4) 내원시 신경적 단계는 1단계 59%, 2단계 32%, 3단계 9%이었고, 합병증으로는 경한 신 경 손상이 29.5%, 중한 손상이 4.6% 그리고 사망한 경우가 6.8%이었다. 5) 뇌척수액 검사상 염증 세포가 평균 $239.5/mm^3$, 단백은 펑균 239.5mg%, 당은 40.7mg%이었다. 그러나 31.8%에서 염증 세포, 단백 및 당의 검사 소견이 이와같지 않은 비정형 뇌척수액 소견이 보였다. 6) 입원 약 4병일정도에서 SIADH 소견이 약 45.5%에서 보였으며, 이들중 반 정도에서 SIADH 임상 소견이 관찰되었다. 7) 뇌단층 촬영상 뇌수종, 뇌기저막 음영 증가, 혈류장애, 지주하막 염증순으로 이상 소견 이 34명에서 관찰되었다. 흉부 X선상 속립성 결핵(34.1%), 정상(29.5%), 폐침윤(11.4%), 석회 화 음영(9.1%)의 소견을 보였다. 결 론 : 국내의 소아 결핵은 과거에 비해 뚜렷한 감소를 보였으나 지속적 발생이 관찰되었고, 이들중 비정형 결핵성 뇌막염의 비율이 높아 광범위한 진단적 기준을 활용하여 조기 진단에 많은 고려가 있어야 하며 뇌 영상 검사의 적극적 활용도 필요함을 확인하였다. 그리 고 SIADH에 대한소견도 임상 경과중에 고려해야할 사항으로 인지해야 할 것이다.

토끼는 심폐바이패스(CPB) 실험동물로서 많은 장점을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 토끼에서 CPB운용법의 확립은 기술적으로 대단히 어려운 것으로 알려져 있다. 한편 저체온 순환정지법은 심장수술에서 유용하게 사용되고 있으나 뇌 보호상의 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 스테로이드는 일반적으로 뇌부종 치료에 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있으나 순환정지시 뇌보호에 미치는 영향에 관해서는 아직 명확하게 규명되지 못하고 있다. 이런 관점에서 본 연구는 첫째 토끼에서 CPB운용법을 확립하고 둘째 이를 바탕으로 순환정지시 스테로이드에 의한 뇌보호 효과를 분석할 목적으로 시행하였다. 흰 토끼 15마리(평균 체중 3,5kg)를 3군의 실험군에 각각 5마리씩 사용하였다. 제 1실험군(대조군)은 순환 정지시 토끼를 수술대와 평행된 자세로 유지하였으며, 제 2실험군에서는 대조군과 다른 실험방법은 동일하나 순환정지시 토끼를 트렌델렌부르그 자세로 유지하였다. 제 3실험군에서는 트렌델렌부르그 자세와 함께 순환정지전 스테로이드(methylprednisolone 30 mg/kg)를 투여하였다. 실험방법은 토끼를 마취시킨후 정중흉골절 개술로 심장을 노출시키고 상행대동맥 및 \ulcorner심방부속지에 각각 3.3mm 동맥캐늘라 및 14 Fr 단일 정맥캐늘라를 삽관하였다. CPB 회로에는 롤러 펌프와 기포형 산화기를 사용하였다. 충전액은 토끼혈액 120-150cc를 포함하여 약 450cc를 사용하였다. 전체 실험시간은 70분으로 심폐바이패스 시작후 10일 동안 관류 및 표면냉각법으로 체온을 20도(직장)까지 감소시킨뒤 40분 동안 순환정지를 시켰다. 순환정지후 관류를 재개하여 20분 동안 재가온으로 체온을 정상화시키면서 심장 박동이 되돌아오는 것을 확인하였다. 관류 유속은 80~ 90mg/min 으로 시작하였고 체온 하강에 따라 유속을 조절하였다. 실험후 토끼를 희생시킨뒤 바로 부검을 시행하여 뇌, 척수, 신장, 십이지장, 폐, 심장, 간장, 비장, 췌장, 위장의 일부를 채취하여 수분함유량을 조사하였다. 각 실험군간의 수분양 비교는 Kruskal-Wallis 비모수 검정법에 의해 분석하였다. CPB 중 관류 유속 변화는 60~l00ml/kg/min 이었다. 동맥압은 대부분 35-55mmhg 사이에서 유지되었다. 재가온후 심장은 전례에서 박동을 재개하였다. 동맥혈가스분석 결과 심한 조직 허혈을 의미하는 정도의 대사 성 산증은 발견되지 않았다. 각 실험군별 조직수분양 측정 결\ulcorner 뇌를 포함한 각 장기들에서 실험군간체 유의 한 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 이러한 실험결과를 통하여 저자들은 (1) 적절한 기법하에서는 토끼에서도 정상 적인 심폐바이패스 운용이 가능하다는 것과, (2) 본 실험 범주에서는 저체온 순환정지시 트렌델렌부르그 자 세에 의한 뇌부종 발현에 대한 스테로이드의 예방효과를 검정할 수없다는 결론을 얻었다.

목 적 : ARC 증후군은 관절구축, 신세뇨관 장애 및 담즙 정체의 동반으로 진단되며, 윈인 유전자(VPS33B)가 확인 된 선천성 질환으로, 전세계적으로 41례 정도가 보고되었고, 국내 보고는 거의 없는 매우 드문 질환이다. 저자들은 신세뇨관 기능부전을 중심으로 7례의 ARC 증후군의 임상 경과를 고찰하여 본질환의 진단에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1995년 3월부터 2005년 8월까지 세브란스병원에 내원한 임상적 진단기준을 만족하는 7례의 ARC 증후군을 대상으로 후향적 조사를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 대상 환아 남, 녀 비는 4:3이었으며, 출생당시 정상체중아가 6례(85$\%$), 미숙아는 1례(14$\%$)였다. 7례 모두 심한 황달을 동반하는 담즙 정체를 보였으며, Brown 등에 의한 관절구축의 분류 기준상 type III 2례, type IV 2례 type VI 1례, type VII 2례, 미분류 1례(14$\%$)였다. 기타 임상양상은 성장장애 6례(85$\%$), 늘어지고 거친 피부 5례(71$\%$), 거대혈소판 4례(57$\%$), 청력장애 2례(29$\%$)였다. 소변 검사상 단백뇨 6례(85$\%$), 혈뇨 3례(43$\%$), 당뇨 5례(71$\%$), 인산뇨 2례(29$\%$), 칼슘뇨 2례(29$\%$)였다. 전해질 검사상 저나트륨혈증 4례(57$\%$), 저칼륨혈증 3례(43$\%$)였고, 혈중 크레아틴치 상승은 1례(14$\%$)에서 관찰되었다. 신세뇨관 기능부전은 신세뇨관 산증 6례(85$\%$), 신성 요붕증 2례(29$\%$), 판코니 증후군 2례(29$\%$)로 나타났다. 치료는 단순관찰 2례(29$\%$), 지속적 전해질 보충 및 산증 교정 5례(85$\%$), 신대체요법 1례(14$\%$)였다. 가계도 분석에서 가계내 발병은 1례에서만 확인되었다. 추적관찰 결과 사망 4례(57$\%$), 생존 2례(29$\%$), 추적관찰 중단 1례(14$\%$)로 사망 환아는 평균 8.1개월에 사망하였으며, 생존 환아의 평균연령은 11.8개월이었다. 결 론 : 전세계적으로 드물게 보고되고 있는 ARC 증후군은 다양한 양상의 신세뇨관 기능 부전을 동반하고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 신세뇨관 기능 손상 정도가 상대적으로 미약하며, 생존 기간도 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 국외 보고와는 달리 대상 환아의 가계 내 동일질환의 발생례가 적어 산발적인 유전자 돌연변이에 의한 발병 가능성도 있으나, 예후가 극히 불량한 본 질환의 철저한 차단을 위하여 무엇보다도 환자 발생 가계 내에서의 정확한 산전 유전자 진단이 요구되는 바이다.

밀기울의 수침처리가 밀기울 내 phytase에 의한 피틴태 인의 분해에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위하여 in vitro 실험을 실시하였고, 육계사료에 밀기울을 첨가 하였을 때 밀기울에 들어 있는 phytase가 육계 생산성 및 P 이용률에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해 5주간의 사양실험을 실시하였다. 수침처리는 배양온도 55$^{\circ}C$와pH 5.5 완충용액에서 배양액과 밀기울의 비율 및 배양 시간을 달리하고, 배양 후 55, 65와 75$^{\circ}C$에서 건조 시켰다. 피틴태 인 함량 감소(phytic acid 분해)에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 밀기울과 완충용액의 비율로 밀기울:완충용액 비율이 증가할수록 곡선적(quadratic)으로 피틴태 인 함량이 감소 하였으며 1:5 전후가 효율적이었고 배양시간은 10분 이상에서는 큰 차이가 없었다. 건조온도(55$^{\circ}C$, 65$^{\circ}C$와 75$^{\circ}C$)와 완충용액의 pH(5.5 및 7.0)는 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 사양 실험은 갓 부화한 240수의 병아리(Ross®)를 24 cage에 10수씩 공시하여 4처리 6반복(처리별 암수 각 3반복)으로 완전임의 배치하였다. 처리구 들은 대조구; 정상수준의 nonphytate-P(NPP)구, LP구; 저 NPP구로 대조구보다 0.1% 낮음, LPWB구; 저 NPP구(LP)에+밀기울로 475IU phytase 공급, LPHWB구; LP+수침 후 건조 처리한 밀기울을 LPWB와 동량 공급한 구 등이었다. 실험 결과 증체량에 있어서 전기(1~21일)의 경우 타 처리구들에 비해 LP구가 유의하게 낮았으며 육성기(22-5일)와 전 기간에 있어서는 LP구의 웅추만이 대조구에 비해 유의하게 낮았다. 전 기간동안 LPWB구와 LPHWB구는 대조구와 차이가 없었다. 전 기간동안 사료 섭취량은 LPWB는 대조구와 유의한 차이가 없었으나 LP구는 LPHWB보다 그리고 LPHWB구는 대조구보다 유의하게 낮았다. 사료 요구률은 LPHWB와 LP구가 대조구와 LPWB보다 유의하게 낮았다. 폐사율은 LPHWB구에서 가장 높았다. 영양소 이용률에 있어서 LP구가 조지방, 조회분과 Ca 이용률이 타처리구에 비해 유의하게 낮았으나 Fe이용률 만은 가장 높았다. P, Mg 및 Zn의 이용률은 LPWB 및 LPHWB구가 대조구나 LP구 보다 높았다. P 배설량은 대조구에 비해 저 NPP구들이 낮았으나 저 NPP구들 간에는 차이가 없었다. 혈청 내 Ca 함량은 LP구가 가장 높았고 P 함량은 LP구가 가장 낮았다. 경골 내 조회분 함량은 밀기울 처리들에서 높았지만 Ca 함량은 대조와 LP구가 높았다. P 함량에선 LP가 LPWB보다 낮았다. Fe 함량은 LP구가 가장 높았다. 결론적으로 밀기울의 피틴태 인 감소에 수침처리 조건으로 밀기울과 완충용액의 비율이 가장 큰 영향을 미치는데 밀기울에 대한 완충용액의 비율이 증가함으로써 피틴태 인 함량이 감소하였으며 1:5 전후가 효율적이었고 저 NPP사료에 밀기울을 phytase 공급원으로 사용 시 육계의 생산성 감소를 방지하고 P의 배설량을 줄일 수 있다. 밀기울의 수침처리는 광물질 이용률 향상에 다소 도움이 되나 생산성 향상에는 도움이 되지 않았다.

본 연구는 저소득층 노인을 대상으로 하여 식생활 실태 및 건강상태를 조사하여 노인의 건강과 영양상태의 상호연관성 및 이에 영향을 미치는 위험 요인을 파악하고자 실시되었다. 조사는 광주광역시에 거주하는 저소득층 여자노인 92명을 대상으로 하였으며, 조사대상자를 연령에 따라 세 그룹 ($65{\sim}74$세, $75{\sim}84$세, 85세 이상)으로 체위, 혈액, 영양상태 등을 비교하였으며, Nutritional Screening Initiative (NSI) 점수에 따라 $NSI{\leq}3$은 영양 양호군, NSI > 3은 영양 위험군으로 구분하여 영양위험정도에 따른 식생활 관련 건강요인을 비교하였으며 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 본 조사대상자의 평균 연령은 79.0세이었으며, 사회경제적 수준이 매우 낮았으며, 치아건강상태 (70.7%) 및 경제적인 이유 (76.1%)로 음식섭취가 부실하였으며 혼자거동하기 힘든 여자 노인의 비율이 48.9%인데, 63.0%의 노인이 혼자 식사한다고 응답하여 저소득층 여자 노인의 사회경제적 위험 요인이 영양상태를 더욱 악화시키는 것으로 조사되었다. 2) 본 조사 대상자가 앓고 있는 주요 질병으로는 고혈압(42.9%), 관절염 및 신경통(33.0%), 당뇨병 (15.4%), 심혈관계 질환 (8.8%), 소화기계 질환 (8.8%) 등의 순이었다. 전체 여자 노인의 44.6%가 비만하였으며, 고혈압, 당뇨병, 심혈관계 질환 중 1개 이상의 질병을 보유한 노인이 53.3%, 대사 증후군을 보유한 노인이 49.3%로서 여자 노인의 건강상태가 전반적으로 불량한 것 판단되었다. 3) 조사대상자의 평균 체중은 54.5, 신장은 147.1cm로서 한국인 영양권장량설정을 위한 체위 기준치와 비교할 때 체중은 더 많은 반면 신장은 낮은 것으로 조사되었으며, 연령증가에 따라 체중과 체단백질이 감소한 반면 체지방은 감소되지 않았고, 체지방 비율이 40.0%, 허리둘레가 87.7cm에 달하였으며, BMI가 25.1 $kg/m^2$으로 전체적으로 비만한 경향을 나타내었다. 4) 연령에 따라 혈압에 유의적인 차이가 없었으며, 혈청알부민을 제외하고는 혈액의 지질성분, 면역성분, 항산화 성분에서 연령별로 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 여자 노인의 평균 수축기 혈압 143.0 mmHg, 공복 혈당은 119.7mg/dl로서 노인의 중요한 건강 문제는 고혈압, 당뇨 등임을 확인할 수 있으며, TNF-${\alpha}$수준이 높아 노년기 염증 반응 증가를 시사하였다. 5) 조사대상자의 영양상태는 매우 불량하였으며, 연령증가에 따라 영양섭취 실태가 더 불량해지는 경향을 나타내고 있으나 연령에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었다. NSI 점수를 기준으로 하여, 영양 위험군 (NSI>3)에 비해 영양 양호군 $(NSI{\leq}3)$으로 구분된 노인의 하루 3회 이상의 식사 비율이 높았으며, 건강 인지도가 더 좋고, 우울증이 적었으며 운동 실시율이 높고, 당뇨 유병률이 낮았다. 6) 영양섭취 실태와 면역, 염증반응, 항산화 능과의 상관관계를 살펴 본 결과, 혈청의 IL-6와 $TNF-{\alpha}$가 영양상태와 유의적인 상관관계를 나타내어 항 염증성 인자보다는 염증유발인자가 노인의 영양상태와 관련이 있었으며, IL-2, TAS, 공복 혈당 등이 체위와 유의적인 관계가 있어 노인의 영양상태나 체위가 염증반응을 일으켜 노인의 건강에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 생각된다. 결론적으로, 연령이 증가함에 따라 생리적, 심리적, 사회경제적 요인이 노인의 영양상태에 복합적으로 작용하여, 영양불균형을 초래하고, 만성질환이 있는 경우에는 영양상태가 더욱 불량해지는 등의 건강상의 악순환을 초래하고 있다. 노년기에 건강한 삶을 유지하기 위해서는 적절한 영양소 섭취, 운동, 정상체중 유지가 중요하며 영양문제를 초래할 수 있는 위험요인을 줄여야 될 것이다. 특히, 노인이 양질의 식사를 할 수 있는 방안이 필요하며, 노인의 영양개선 및 건강 증진을 위해서 우리나라 노인의 식습관 및 영양상태, 체위, 질병 등에 관한 종합적이고 체계적인 연구방법에 대한 타당성 연구가 선행되어야 할 것이며 타당성 있는 연구결과를 바탕으로 하여 노인의 영양균형 및 건강증진을 위한 적절한 연구와 지원대책이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
