목적 대장암 환자에서 선행화학요법(neoadjuvant chemotherapy; 이하 NAC)의 반응을 CT를 이용한 종양퇴행등급(CT-based tumor regression grade; 이하 ctTRG)으로 예측할 수 있는지를 알아보고자 한 연구이다. 대상과 방법 총 53명을 대상으로 NAC 전후 종양의 길이, 두께, 장벽의 패턴과 모양으로 ctTRG를 정하고 부피도 측정했다. 병리 종양퇴행등급(pathologic TRG; 이하 pTRG)을 반응 평가의 기준으로 ctTRG와 연관성을 평가했다. Rödel's TRG 2, 3 그리고 4를 반응군으로 분류하였다. ctTRG와 부피변화로 반응군 및 병리완전퇴행(pathologic complete remission; 이하 pCR)을 예측하는 성능을 비교하였다. 결과 ctTRG와 pTRG는 moderate의 연관성을 보였다(ρ = -0.540). 관찰자간 신뢰도는 substantial으로 보였다(weighted κ = 0.672). 반응군을 예측하는데 ctTRG와 volume 변화의 성능은 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다(ctTRG의 Az = 0.749, 반응기준: ctTRG ≤ 3, volume 변화의 Az = 0.794, 반응기준: ≤ -27.1%, p = 0.53). pCR을 예측하는 두 방법 간의 성능도 차이가 없었다(p = 0.447). 결론 ctTRG는 대장암에 NAC 후 반응을 예측할 수 있었고, 그 성능은 종양부피변화 방법과 차이가 없었다.

영화 <모란봉>은 1958년, 아르망 가티, 크리스 마커, 클로드 란츠만, 프랑시스 르마르크, 장 클로드 보나르도가 조선필름의 초청으로 떠났던 북한 여행의 산물이다. 그러나 여러 정치적인 이유로 영화는 바로 개봉되지 못했고, 2010년에야 다시 발굴되어 주목을 받았다. 영화는 한국전쟁을 배경으로 한 영란과 동일의 서사가 저 멀리 조선의 고전 춘향전 속 춘향과 몽룡의 서사와 포개어지는 구성을 취하고 있다. 이때 조선의 고전은 두 주인공의 서사와 시간대를 공유하는 극중극 <춘향전>의 형태로 재현되며, 두 서사는 총 6개 장면에서 포개어진다. 영화에는 두 겹의 중층적인 액자가 존재하는데, 1950년대의 북한을 배경으로 펼쳐지는 영란과 동일의 서사가 가장 바깥에 있다면, 그 안에 창극 <춘향전>의 제작진과 배우들이 만들어 가는 서사가 있고, 가장 안쪽에 온전한 작품으로서의 창극 <춘향전>이 배치된다. 영화 가장 바깥의 액자에서는 동일이 주인공이지만, 안쪽 두 겹의 액자에서는 창극 <춘향전>과 함께 성장하는 배우이자 창극 <춘향전>의 등장인물인 영란이 중심이다. 다음 이 영화의 OST 음반으로는 프랑스에서 1960년 발매된 , 1970년 발매된 , 그리고 일본에서 1968년 발매된 <朝鮮の伝統音樂-唱劇 「春香伝」と伝統樂器-> 3종이 있다. 은 영화 <모란봉>의 음악으로만 구성된 반면, 이후 나온 두 음반은 평양국립방송을 통해 수집 및 녹음한 곡을 추가로 포함하였다. 다만 일본에서 발매된 음반에는 영화 <모란봉>에 관한 정보가 전혀 남아 있지 않다. 정황상 음반사나 음반 해설지의 필자도 영화 <모란봉>의 존재를 미처 확인하지 못했을 가능성이 크며, 영화의 개봉 자체가 금지되었던 배경 때문에 의도적으로 관련 내용을 배제한 것일 수도 있다. 본고에서 영화 <모란봉> 또는 OST 음반에 수록된 창극 <춘향전>의 세부 장면 <이별가>, <십장가>, <춘당시과>, <박석티>, <옥중가>를 분석한 결과를 1950년대 북한 창극계의 변화와 관련해 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 1950년대 북한 창극 <춘향전>의 정립 과정을 확인하였다. 1955년에 『조선창극집』을 통해 정리된 희곡이 1956년~1958년 사이 『조선민족음악전집(창극 및 민족가극편)1: 창극 <춘향전>(초고)』에 이르러 실연 가능한 창극 형태로 정착하였고, 영화와 음반에 수록된 부분은 1950년대 말 그 완성판의 한 예시에 해당한다. 1960년대 이후 <춘향전>은 더 이상 기존의 판소리식 창극으로 공연되지 않았기에, 영화 <모란봉>과 음반 은 창극 <춘향전>과 그 음악을 오롯이 담아낸 거의 마지막 기록물이 된다. 둘째, 1950년대 북한 창극계의 탁성 논쟁과 관련한 창극 배우들의 대응 양상을 확인하였다. 1959년까지도 북한에서는 탁성을 둘러싼 비판의 목소리와 이것도 민족적 특징이라는 옹호의 목소리가 어느 정도 공존했다. 맑고 높은 성음의 구사로 탁성 제거에 일정한 성과를 보인 신우선, 분명한 변화를 보이지만 상황에 따라 발성을 달리한 공기남, 탁성을 적극적으로 제거하지는 않았으나 그것이 겉으로 드러나지 않는 배역을 선택한 조상선, 당이 요구하는 발성법을 일부 수용하면서도 자기 원 음색을 유지하고자 하였던 임소향, 이들의 판단과 대처는 영화 <모란봉>과 음반 속 소리에도 오롯이 반영되어 있었다. 한편 조상선과 임소향은 그들의 소리를 계속 해 나갈 수 있는 배역을 보장받았지만, 영화 <모란봉>에 나타난 선택/배제의 양상은 이와 별개로 1950년대 월북국악인들에게 요구되었던 탁성 제거 지침과 그대로 연결된다.

본 연구는 동해안 오구굿 중 김장길이 소리한 판염불의 악곡 중 6곡을 대상으로 선율을 분석하여 무가(巫歌) 판염불에 나타난 불교음악의 영향을 살펴본 것이다. 그 결과를 요약해보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 2016년 10월 16일에 연행된 김장길의 판염불의 구성은 <창혼>, <예불>, <망자축원>, <장엄염불>, <대다라니>, <오방례>, <지장보살 정근>, <법성게>, <극락세계십종장엄>, <아미타불 정근>, <지옥가>로 구성된다. 다만 판염불은 같은 양중이 연행한다 하더라도 상황에 따라 더 추가되고 생략될 수 있으므로 그 절차구성은 매우 유동적이다. 그러나 김용택의 것과 비교했을 때 <지옥가> 외에 <대다라니>가 공통되는 것으로 보아 동해안 오구굿의 판염불에는 <대다라니>가 중요한 위치를 차지하는 것으로 보인다. 둘째, <대다라니>는 불가에서는 일반적으로 '신묘장구대다라니'라고 칭하고 있고 김용택도 이 명칭을 그대로 수용하고 있는데 반해, 김장길은 '염화장구대다라니'라고 하여 차별되는 명칭을 사용한다. 염화는 '손가락에 꽃을 집어들었다'는 뜻으로 불가적 의미이지만 보편적으로 사용하는 명칭이 아니다. 이로보아 김장길은 불경의 '대다라니'를 수용하되 차별된 명칭을 사용함으로써 불교의례와는 구별되는, 무의례만의 의미를 부여하고자 한 것으로 보인다. 셋째, 동해안 오구굿의 판염불은 크게 두 부분으로 나누어진다. 전반부의 <판염불>과 후반부의 <지옥가>이다. <판염불>은 양중이 앉아서 직접 징 반주를 하며 독송하고, <지옥가>는 양중이 꽹과리를 들고 일어서서 독송하는데 이때 악사들이 삼공잽이 장단으로 반주한다. 노래와 반주가 이중주처럼 주고받는 형식으로 이루어지므로 음악적으로도 가장 고조되고 강조된다. <판염불>은 판염불 지옥가로 구분해서 보기도 하지만, 한 명의 양중에 의해 독송되는 절차이므로 일반적으로 하나의 절차로 해석한다. 넷째, 김장길의 판염불에서 반주역할을 하는 징은 악구를 구분하고 악곡의 단락을 짓는 역할이다. 일자일음의 염불을 노래할 때, 숨을 고르거나 목을 가다듬는 등 호흡의 정리가 필요한데 이때 징이 그 사이를 메운다. 징은 악구를 구분하여 음악적 단락을 지어주므로, 가사의 전달을 명확하게 한다. 징의 리듬은 균등한 2소박을 제외하고는 대부분 3소박으로 이루어져 있으며, 암쇠(♩♪)보다는 숫쇠(♪♩)의 빈도가 압도적으로 많다. 또한 당김음이 자주 사용된다. 균등한 2소박의 반주에서도 엇박 또는 단장(短長) 리듬을 자주 사용하여 단조로운 균등리듬에 변화를 주어 음악적 활력을 준다. 이와 같은 엇박과 단장리듬은 긴장감을 자아내는 숫쇠리듬과 일맥상통하는 것으로, 양중 김장길만의 리듬특징으로 보아진다. 다섯째, 모든 악곡은 mi, sol, la, do, re의 5음구성이며, do'${\searrow}$la${\searrow}$sol${\searrow}$mi의 하행선율이 압도적으로 많다. 하행선율은 슬픈 느낌을 자아내는 것으로 망자에 대한 슬픔을 음악적으로 잘 표현한 것이므로, 김장길의 음악적 감각을 엿볼 수 있다. 악곡은 전체적으로 la${\searrow}$sol${\searrow}$mi의 완전4도 하행에서 sol의 시가가 짧게 나타나는 전형적인 메나리토리로 이루어져 있다. 여섯째, 김장길은 기존 염불의 가사를 수용하되 그대로 부르지 않고 그 사이사이에 '원왕생'이나 '나무아미타불' 등과 같은 가사를 삽입하였고 한문으로 구성된 예불가사에서는 '합소사~'와 같은 한글가사를 추가하였다. 또 슬픈 느낌을 표현하기위해 '이이이이이이이~'와 같은 구절을 삽입하기도 하였다. 이는 망자를 극락왕생하고자 하는 염원을 극대화함과 동시에 불교의 색채를 감소시키고 무속적인 느낌을 주고자한 것으로 보인다. 일곱째, 불교의 색채를 감소시키고자 하는 특징은 가사붙임새에서도 마찬가지이다. 예를 들어, <다게>의 끝 가사와 <칠정례>의 시작가사 사이에서는 일반적으로 휴지를 주어 단락을 구분하지만, 김장길은 오히려 휴지 없이 하나의 곡조로 진행하여 불교 독송의 색채감을 배제하였다. 선율도 일반 불교독송의 것과는 차별된다. 이는 불교의례문을 수용하되, 불가식의 염송과는 구별되는 무의례만의 특징을 부여하고자 하는 김장길의 의지로 해석된다. 여덟째, 분석한 곡목은 크게 4가지 장단으로 나눌 수 있다. 일정한 장단이 없는 <창혼> <망자축원>, 2소박의 균일한 장단의 <예불> <대다라니>, 3+2+3+2의 혼소박으로 된 10/8박자의 엇모리장단으로 된 <지장보살 정근>, 3+2+3의 혼소박으로 구성된 삼공잽이 장단의 <지옥가> 등 악곡에 따라 각기 구분되는 장단으로 이루어져있다. 이중 <지장보살 정근>은 불가에서도 자주 연행되는 의식이지만, 엇모리장단으로 되어서 무속적인 느낌을 자아내며, <지옥가> 역시 삼공잽이 장단으로 연주되어 동해안 무의례만의 특징을 이룬다.

This article is the reserch on actual condition of crime of arson which occurs in Korea and its countermeasures. The the presented problem in this article are that (1) we have generally very low rate concern about the crime of arson contrary to realistic problems of rapid increase of crime of arson (2) as such criminal motives became so diverse as to the economic or criminal purpose unlike characteristic and mental deficiency of old days, and to countermeasure these problems effectively it presentation the necessity of systemantic research. Based on analysis of reality of arson, the tendency of this arson in Korea in the ratio of increase is said to be higher than those in violence crime or general fire rate. and further its rate is far more greater than those of the U.S.A. and Japan. Arson is considered to be a method of using fire as crime and in case of presently residence to be the abject, it is a public offense crime which aqccompany fatality in human life. This is the well It now fact to all of us. And further in order to presentation to the crime of arson, strictness of criminal law (criminal law No, 164 and 169, and fire protection law No. 110 and 111) and classification of arsonist as felony are institutionary reinforced to punish with certainty of possibility, Therefore, as tendency of arson has been increased compared to other nations, it is necessary to supplement strategical policy to bring out overall concerns of the seriousness of risk and damage of arson, which have been resulted from the lack of understanding. In characteristics analysis of crime of arson, (1) It is now reveald that, in the past such crime rate appeared far more within the boundary of town or city areas in the past, presently increased rate of arsons in rural areas are far more than in the town or small city areas, thereby showing characteristics of crime of arson extending nation wide. (2) general timetable of arson shows that night more than day time rate, and reveald that is trait behavior in secrecy.(3) arsonists are usually arrested at site or by victim or report of third person(82,9%).Investigation activities or self surrenders rate only 11.2%. The time span of arrest is normally the same day of arson and at times it takes more than one year to arrest. This reveals its necessity to prepare for long period of time for arrest, (4) age rate of arson is in their thirties mostly as compared to homicide, robbery and adultery, and considerable numbers of arsons are in old age of over fifties. It reveals age rate is increased (5) Over half of the arsonists are below the junior high school (6) the rate of convicts by thier records is based on first offenders primarily and secondly more than 4 time convicts. This apparently shows necessity of effective correctional education policy for their social assimilation together with re-investigation of human education at the primary and secondary education system in thier life. The examples of motivation for arosnits, such as personal animosity, fury, monetary swindle, luscious purpose and other aims of destroying of proof, and other social resistance, violence including ways of threatening, beside the motives of individual defects, are diverse and arsonic suicide and specifically suicidal accompany together keenly manifested. When we take this fact with the criminal theory, it really reveals arsons of crime are increasing and its casualities are serious and a point as a way of suicide is the anomie theory of Durkheim and comensurate with the theory of that of Merton, Specifically in the arson of industrial complex, it is revealed that one with revolutionary motive or revolting motive would do the arsonic act. For the policy of prevention of arsons, professional research work in organizational cooperation for preventive activities is conducted in municipal or city wise functions in the name of Parson Taskforces and beside a variety of research institutes in federal government have been operating effectively to countermeasure in many fields of research. Franch and Sweden beside the U.S. set up a overall operation of fire prevention research funtions and have obtained very successful result. Japan also put their research likewise for countermeasure. In this research as a way of preventive fire policy, first, it is necessary to accomodate the legal preventitive activities for fire prevention in judicial side and as an administrative side, (1) precise statistic management of crime of arson (2) establishment of professional research functions or a corporate (3) improvement of system for cooperative structural team for investigation of fires and menpower organization of professional members. Secondly, social mentality in individual prospect, recognition of fires by arson and youth education of such effect, educational program for development and practical promotion. Thirdly, in view of environmental side, the ways of actual performance by programming with the establishment of cooperative advancement in local social function elements with administrative office, habitants, school facilities and newspapers measures (2) establishment of personal protection where weak menpowers are displayed in special fire prevention measures. These measures are presented for prevention of crime of arson. The control of crime and prevention shall be prepared as a means of self defence by the principle of self responsibility Specifically arsonists usually aims at the comparatively weak control of fire prevention is prevalent and it is therefore necessary to prepare individual facilities with their spontaneous management of fire prevention instead of public municipal funtures of local geverment. As Clifford L. Karchmer asserted instead of concerns about who would commit arson, what portion of area would be the target of the arson. It is effective to minister spontaveously the fire prevention measure in his facility with the consideration of characteristics of arson. On the other hand, it is necessary for the concerned personnel of local goverment and groups to distribute to the local society in timely manner for new information about the fire prevention, thus contribute to effective result of fire prevention result. In consideration of these factors, it is inevitable to never let coincide with the phemonemon of arsons in similar or mimic features as recognized that these could prevail just an epedemic as a strong imitational attitude. In processing of policy to encounter these problems, it is necessary to place priority of city policy to enhancement of overall concerns toward the definitive essense of crime of arson.

본 연구는 반추가축에 급여되는 사료원 중 종류별, 수준별 lignosulfonate 처리 대두박의 반추위 내 undegradable protein (UDP) 효율을 알아보기 위하여 실험 I 에서 전체 4종의 lignosulfonate (Desulfonated, Na, Ca, Solution)를 각각 수준별 (2, 4, 8%)로 처리하여 전체 12종의 lignosulfoanted soybeanmeal (LSBM)에 대한 반추위 내 미생물 발효 특성의 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 in vitro 시험이 실시되었다. 실험 H에서는 실험 I 에서 대두박의 단백질 보호 효과가 가장 높은 LSBM Na 2% 처리구와 LSBM Solution (LSBM Sol) 2% 처리구 그리고 열처리 LSBM (LSBM Heat) 2%를 이용하여 rumen simulation continuous culture (RSCC) system을 이용한 반추위 내 미생물 발효 특성에 대한 연구가 실시되었다. 시험 I in vitro 시험에서 모든 LSBM 처리구에서 전체 배양시간 평균 pH수준, gas 생성량, $NH_3$-N 농도, 건물소화율, VFA 생성량 그리고 ADF 소화율은 배양시간이 지남에 따라 대조구에 비해 낮은 결과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 반추위 내 미생물단백질 합성량은 대조구가 LSMB 처리구 보다 통계적으로 높은 결과를 나타내었으며 (p<0.05), LSBM 수준이 증가할수록 반추위 내 미생물 단백질 합성량은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. UDP 함량은 대조구보다 LSBM 처리구에서 높은 결과를 나타내었으며(p<0.05), 특히 LSBM Sol 처리구는 대조구에 비해 각각 2%, 4% 그리고 8% 처리군에서 11.18%, 11.54% 그리고 29.11%의 UDP 함량이 증가 하였다. 시험 II는 RSCC system을 이용하여 반추위 내 미생물 발효특성에 대한 시험이 실시되었다. 시험사료는 대조구와 In vitro 시험 중 대조구와 UDP 효과가 높은 LSBM Na 2%, LSBM Sol 2% 그리고 LSBM Heat 2% 처리한 사료 4처리 4반복($4{\times}4$ Latin squire)에 의해 15일간 시험이 실시되었으며, 배양 마지막 3일 동안의 sample을 이용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 전체 배양 기간 중 모든 처리구에서 적응기간 동안 불규칙적인 반추위 미생물 발효 특성을 보였으나 배양 12일 이후 안정된 발효특성을 나타내었다. Sampling 기간 동안의 각 처리간의 평균 pH는 모든 LSBM 처리구에서 대조구보다 높았다(p<0.05). $NH_3$-N 함량, VFA 함량 그리고 반추위 내 미생물 단백질 합성량은 LSBM 처리구가 대조구에 비해 낮은 결과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). UDP 함량은 대조구, LSBM Heat 2%, LSBM Na 2% 그리고 LSBM Sol 2%에서 각 41.55, 43.49, 45.28 그리고 43.52%로 모든 LSBM 처리구가 대조구에 비해 유의하게 높은 경향을 나타내였다(p<0.05). 시험 I과 시험II에서 UDP 함량은 LSBM 처리구에서 lignosulfonate 처리 수준이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, 모든 LSBM 처리구는 대조구에 비해 높은 UDP 함량을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과는 사료원으로써 대두박에 대한 lignosulfonate 처리가 coating 작용과 열처리에 의한 물리 화학적 효과로 인하여 대두박의 단백질 분해율을 저해 시킨 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 LSBM 처리군 중 건물소화율과 반추위 내 미생물단백질 합성량은 LSBM 2% 처리구에서 가장 높은 결과를 나타내였다. 따라서, 반추가축 사료내 LSBM 첨가가 In vitro와 RSCC system을 이용한 반추위내 미생물발효 특성 시험에서 반추위 내에서 by-pass protein 함량을 증가시키는 결과를 나타내었으며, 추후 착유우를 이용한 LSBM 급여를 시험을 통하여 유단백질 증진효과에 대하여 추가적인 평가가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

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.

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.

Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology.

The 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.

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.
