  • 우리 나라에 있어서 수도작의 안전다수를 위한 재배법, 특히 시료의 합리화를 기하기 위한 기초적 자료를 얻기 위하여 수도 독자의 영양생리적 반응, 형태형성 내지 수량구성에 대한 특징을 살펴보았으며, 우리 나라의 수도 재배환경조건(온도ㆍ일조ㆍ강수 및 토양조건)을 대국적 견지에서 인접국인 일본과 지역별로 비교 검토하였고, 그 특징으로 본 시료에 관한 개선조건을 위해 비료의 3요소와 규산 및 그 밖에 수종의 미량요소에 대하여 검토하였다. 1. 우리 나라의 최근 14개년간의 10a당 현미평균수량은 204kg인데 이에 비하여 일본은 77%, 대만은 13% 높으며, 년간평균증가량은 우리나라가 4.2kg이고, 이에 비해 일본은 81%, 대만은 62% 더 증가되고 있다. 그리고 수량의 년간변이계수는 우리 나라가 7.7%이며 일본은 6.7%, 대만이 2.5%로서 우리 나라는 년간변이가 매우 커서 생산의 안전도가 가장 낮다. 2. 풍흉고조시험성적으로 본 우리 나라 수도와 일본의 수도를 형태형성면에서 비교하여 본즉 다음과 같았다. (1) 3.3$m^2$ 당 수수는 우리 나라의 891개에 비하여 일본은 13%나 더 많고, (2) 최고분얼기의 경수는 3.3$m^2$당 우리 나라는 1150개인데 비하여 일본은 19% 더 많았으며, (3) 유효경비율은 우리 나라가 77.5%, 일본이 74.7%로서 우리 나라가 다소 높았다. 그러나 총경수가 적은데 q하여는 유효경율이 너무 낮다. (4) 신고비는 우리 나라가 85.4%이고, 일본은 96.3%로서 우리 나라의 수도가 13% 낮았다. 3. 도작기간중의 평균기온은 수원ㆍ광주ㆍ대구는 거의 동일하며, 일본의 중국지방(부산)의 그것과 비슷하였다. 즉 우리 나라 도작기간중의 기온은 일본의 서남난지에 유사한 것이었다. 4. 우리 나라의 수도이앙기는 이앙한계최저온도 13$^{\circ}C$로 보면 현행(6월 10일 경)보다 30~40일 앞당길 수 있다. 5. 우리 나라의 현행 수도작기로서는 영양생장기의 기온이 이 시기의 주대사작용인 단백대사의 적온인 20~23$^{\circ}C$ 보다 높았다. 그러나 생식생장기의 기온은 이 시기의 주대사인 당대사의 적온인 $25^{\circ}C$이상보다 높지 않다. 그러므로 온도면에서 보면 우리 나라 수도의 작기는 앞으로 당기는 것이 좋다고 고찰된다. 6. 우리 나라의 현행 수도작기로 본 기온 및 일조조건은 수도의 분얼전기에 대해서는 호조건하에 놓여 있으나, 분얼후기인 7월 중ㆍ하순 경의 일조부족과 고온다습조건은 병해, 특히 도열병의 유발원인이 되고 있다. 7. 우리 나라의 현행수도작기로 본 전국각지의 수도의 출수기는 모두 일조시간이 적은 부적당한 시기에 처해 있다. 8. 출수후 40일간의 평균기온에 의한 적산온도 88$0^{\circ}C$의 출현기일은 수원에서 8월 23일이었고, 년간편차를 고려한 안전출수기일은 8월 19일로서 적산온도면에서는 관행 출수기일은 약간 늦다고 보았다. 9. 등열기의 평균기온에 의한 적산온도는 현행 수도작기로서는 최종한계시기에 놓여 있으며, 평균기온의 년간편차와 우리 나라의 최저기온이 낮은 점을 고려할 때, 현행출수기는 다소 늦은 것으로 보았다. 10. 생육단계별의 수도체내의 질소함량은 영양생장기의 질소함량이 과다하였으며, 출수 이후에 영양조락을 여하히 방지하느냐가 문제된다고 보았다. 11. 수리불안전답 및 천수답이 차지하는 전답면적의 비율은 차차 감소되고 있는데, 이와 전체 10a당 수량의 증가율과의 상관계수를 산출하였는데, 수리불안전답과의 상관계수 (4)는 +0.525였으며, 천수답과는 r=+0.832, 그리고 수리불안전답과 천수답을 합계한 것과의 상관계수 (r)는 +0.841로서 후2자와는 고도의 정(+) 상관을 보여 천수답이 차지하는 면적비율이 작을수록 단위수량을 증가하였다. 12. 비료삼요소시험(주산력시험)성적을 보면 무비료구의 10a당 현미수량은 우리 나라가 231kg인데, 일본의 그것은 360kg으로서 우리 나라보다 약 56%나 높았다. 즉 우리 나라의 지력은 일본에 비하여 매우 낮았다. 또 무질소구의 10a당 현미수량은 우리 나라가 236 kg인데 일본의 그것은 383 kg 으로서 우리 나라보다 62%나 높았다. 즉 우리 나라의 지력을 좌우하는 것은역시 질소라고 할 수 있다. 13. 우리 나라와 일본의 답토양의 화학적 성질을 비교해본즉 다음과 같았다. (1) 우리 나라 답토양은 유기물ㆍ전질소 및 치환성석회와 마그네슘의 함량이 일본의 그것보다 낮아 반정도에 불과하였고, (2) N/2 염산 가용규산함량은 평균치로 보아 우리나라 답토양이 적었고, 규산의 시용이 필요하다고 보았으며, (3) 염기치환용량이 일본의 반 정도이었다. 14. 우리 나라에 있어서 고위수량답과 저위수량답 토양의 성질을 비교하여 본즉 염기치환용량ㆍ치환성석회와 마그네슘ㆍ가리ㆍ인산ㆍ망간ㆍ규산 및 철 등의 성분이 저위수량답 토양에서 적었다. 15. 작통의 깊이는 항상 고위수량답에서 깊으며, 우리 나라 답토양의 작토는 일본의 그것에 비하여 얕다. 16. 전기한 바의 제조건을 종합 검토하고 비료삼요소이외에 규산과 미량요소로서 망간 및 철에 대하여 수도생리 및 형태형성 내지 수량에 미치는 영향을 고려하여 보다 합리적으로 사료되는 비료조건을 제시하였다.

  • 본 실험은 Hempa 처리가 쌀바구미 (Sitophilus oryzae L.)에 미치는 생물학적 영향과 부분불임성의 유전성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 우화후 1-3일된 숫컷을 $0.0625\%,\;0.125\%,\;0.25\%,$$0.5\%$의 Hempa로 처리된 소맥에서 2일간 섭식처리하여 당대의 치사율, 수명 및 산란수에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 $F_l,\;F_2,\;BC_1,\;F_3\;BC_2$ 세대에 미치는 처리효과를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. (1) 처리웅충의 평균수명은 대조구에 비하여 차가 없었으며 당대 치사율도 $0.5\%$ 처리시 보정 치사율은 $7.07\%$로 유의차가 없었다. (2) 처리웅충과 교배된 정상 자충의 3일간 평균 산란수는 무처리구 3.60에 비하며 $0.0625\%,\;0.125\%,\;0.25\%,\;0.5\%$구에서 각각 3.78, 4.05, 3.75 및 3.61개로 유의차가 없었으며 비교배자충 구에서는 1.91로 현저한 산란수의 감소를 보였다. (3) 처리웅충과 무처리자충의 교배에서 얻은 $F_l$대의 처리후 27일간 총평균 부화율은 대조구 $86.82\%$에 대하여 $0.0625\%,\;0.125\%,\;0.25\%,\;0.5\%$구에서 각각 $64.77\%,\;53.47\%,\;40.33\%,\;24.78\%$로 처리농도의 증가에 따라 부화율이 감소되었다. (4) 처리후 산란 시기별로 산하된 란의 부화율은 모든 처리구에서 처리후 10-12일까지는 부화율이 감소하다가 그후 다시 증가하는 회복현상을 보였다. (5) 고농도 처리구인 $0.5\%$구에서는 처리후 1-3일에 산하된 란의 부화율이 낮았고 10-12일 이후에도 회복의 속도가 느렸다. 이와같은 현상은 배우자 형성 과정에서 영향을 받는 시기의 범위가 넓기 때문이라고 생각되었다. (6) 유충기 치사율은 대조구 $6.55\%$에 비하여 $0.0635\%,\;0.125\%,\;0.25\%,\;0.5\%$구에서 각각 $17.89\%,\;27.40\%,\;35.43\%,\;52.17\%$로 처리농도의 증가에 따라 치사율의 증가를 보였다. (7) 난기 치사율과 유충기 치사율의 관계는 $0.125,\;0.25,\;0.5\%$ 처리구에서 상관계수가 각각 r=+0.89, +0.83 및 +0.85로 난기 치사와 유충기 치사는 동일형의 영향임을 알 수 있었다. (8) 치사인자 발현에 대한 난기와 유충기의 감수성은 각각 $SC_{50}=0.133\%$$LC_{50}=0.565\%$초 난기가 유충기보다 감수성이 쳤다. 또한 미우화에 미치는 영향은 이들 둘의 공동작용의 결과임으로 $LC_{50}=0.09\%$로 더욱 감수성이 컸다. (9) $F_1$대의 우화 성충은 $0.125\%,\;0.25\%\;,\;0.5\%$ 처리구에서 암컷대 숫컷의 비율이 100 : 125, 100 : 108 및 100 : 124로 숫컷의 출현빈도가 높은 듯 하였으나 우화 개체수가 적은 관계로 통계적인 유의성은 없었다. (10) $P_1$이 처리후 16-18일에 산하한 난에서 우화한 $F_l$ 웅충을 무처리 자충과 교배하였을 때 $0.0625\%$구에서는 $13.88\%,\;0.125\%$ 구에서는 $33.04\%$의 난기 치사율을 나타내었고 $F_2$도 각각 $31.01\%$$38.73\%$의 치사율을 나타내고 있어 염색체 이상의 결과라고 생각되었다. (11) $F_2$ 세대의 유충기 치사율은 자충 퇴교배구가 웅충 퇴교배구 보다 높았고 $F_l$ 형매교배에서 가장 높았다. (12) $F_2$$BC_1$ 세대의 유충발육은 산난후 제17일에 1-2영충이 대조구 $10.98\%$에 비해 자충 퇴교배구, 웅충 퇴교배구 및 $F_2$구에서 각각 $7.26\%,\;32.98\%$$15.73\%$로 분화의 지연작용을 나타내는 듯하였다. (13) $F_3$ 세대에서도 난기 및 유충기 치사율이 형매교배구가 퇴교배구 보다 높았다. 이는 열성치사인자가 영향한 때문이라고 생각한다. (14) Hempa 처리에 의하여 유기된 불임은 주로 전좌나 결실과 같은 염색체 이상로 유기되는 우성치사돌연변이에 기인된 것이라고 생각되었으며 이들 인자의 영향은 처리 후 제3세대에까지 전달됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • Personalized services directly and indirectly acquire personal data, in part, to provide customers with higher-value services that are specifically context-relevant (such as place and time). Information technologies continue to mature and develop, providing greatly improved performance. Sensory networks and intelligent software can now obtain context data, and that is the cornerstone for providing personalized, context-specific services. Yet, the danger of overflowing personal information is increasing because the data retrieved by the sensors usually contains privacy information. Various technical characteristics of context-aware applications have more troubling implications for information privacy. In parallel with increasing use of context for service personalization, information privacy concerns have also increased such as an unrestricted availability of context information. Those privacy concerns are consistently regarded as a critical issue facing context-aware personalized service success. The entire field of information privacy is growing as an important area of research, with many new definitions and terminologies, because of a need for a better understanding of information privacy concepts. Especially, it requires that the factors of information privacy should be revised according to the characteristics of new technologies. However, previous information privacy factors of context-aware applications have at least two shortcomings. First, there has been little overview of the technology characteristics of context-aware computing. Existing studies have only focused on a small subset of the technical characteristics of context-aware computing. Therefore, there has not been a mutually exclusive set of factors that uniquely and completely describe information privacy on context-aware applications. Second, user survey has been widely used to identify factors of information privacy in most studies despite the limitation of users' knowledge and experiences about context-aware computing technology. To date, since context-aware services have not been widely deployed on a commercial scale yet, only very few people have prior experiences with context-aware personalized services. It is difficult to build users' knowledge about context-aware technology even by increasing their understanding in various ways: scenarios, pictures, flash animation, etc. Nevertheless, conducting a survey, assuming that the participants have sufficient experience or understanding about the technologies shown in the survey, may not be absolutely valid. Moreover, some surveys are based solely on simplifying and hence unrealistic assumptions (e.g., they only consider location information as a context data). A better understanding of information privacy concern in context-aware personalized services is highly needed. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to identify a generic set of factors for elemental information privacy concern in context-aware personalized services and to develop a rank-order list of information privacy concern factors. We consider overall technology characteristics to establish a mutually exclusive set of factors. A Delphi survey, a rigorous data collection method, was deployed to obtain a reliable opinion from the experts and to produce a rank-order list. It, therefore, lends itself well to obtaining a set of universal factors of information privacy concern and its priority. An international panel of researchers and practitioners who have the expertise in privacy and context-aware system fields were involved in our research. Delphi rounds formatting will faithfully follow the procedure for the Delphi study proposed by Okoli and Pawlowski. This will involve three general rounds: (1) brainstorming for important factors; (2) narrowing down the original list to the most important ones; and (3) ranking the list of important factors. For this round only, experts were treated as individuals, not panels. Adapted from Okoli and Pawlowski, we outlined the process of administrating the study. We performed three rounds. In the first and second rounds of the Delphi questionnaire, we gathered a set of exclusive factors for information privacy concern in context-aware personalized services. The respondents were asked to provide at least five main factors for the most appropriate understanding of the information privacy concern in the first round. To do so, some of the main factors found in the literature were presented to the participants. The second round of the questionnaire discussed the main factor provided in the first round, fleshed out with relevant sub-factors. Respondents were then requested to evaluate each sub factor's suitability against the corresponding main factors to determine the final sub-factors from the candidate factors. The sub-factors were found from the literature survey. Final factors selected by over 50% of experts. In the third round, a list of factors with corresponding questions was provided, and the respondents were requested to assess the importance of each main factor and its corresponding sub factors. Finally, we calculated the mean rank of each item to make a final result. While analyzing the data, we focused on group consensus rather than individual insistence. To do so, a concordance analysis, which measures the consistency of the experts' responses over successive rounds of the Delphi, was adopted during the survey process. As a result, experts reported that context data collection and high identifiable level of identical data are the most important factor in the main factors and sub factors, respectively. Additional important sub-factors included diverse types of context data collected, tracking and recording functionalities, and embedded and disappeared sensor devices. The average score of each factor is very useful for future context-aware personalized service development in the view of the information privacy. The final factors have the following differences comparing to those proposed in other studies. First, the concern factors differ from existing studies, which are based on privacy issues that may occur during the lifecycle of acquired user information. However, our study helped to clarify these sometimes vague issues by determining which privacy concern issues are viable based on specific technical characteristics in context-aware personalized services. Since a context-aware service differs in its technical characteristics compared to other services, we selected specific characteristics that had a higher potential to increase user's privacy concerns. Secondly, this study considered privacy issues in terms of service delivery and display that were almost overlooked in existing studies by introducing IPOS as the factor division. Lastly, in each factor, it correlated the level of importance with professionals' opinions as to what extent users have privacy concerns. The reason that it did not select the traditional method questionnaire at that time is that context-aware personalized service considered the absolute lack in understanding and experience of users with new technology. For understanding users' privacy concerns, professionals in the Delphi questionnaire process selected context data collection, tracking and recording, and sensory network as the most important factors among technological characteristics of context-aware personalized services. In the creation of a context-aware personalized services, this study demonstrates the importance and relevance of determining an optimal methodology, and which technologies and in what sequence are needed, to acquire what types of users' context information. Most studies focus on which services and systems should be provided and developed by utilizing context information on the supposition, along with the development of context-aware technology. However, the results in this study show that, in terms of users' privacy, it is necessary to pay greater attention to the activities that acquire context information. To inspect the results in the evaluation of sub factor, additional studies would be necessary for approaches on reducing users' privacy concerns toward technological characteristics such as highly identifiable level of identical data, diverse types of context data collected, tracking and recording functionality, embedded and disappearing sensor devices. The factor ranked the next highest level of importance after input is a context-aware service delivery that is related to output. The results show that delivery and display showing services to users in a context-aware personalized services toward the anywhere-anytime-any device concept have been regarded as even more important than in previous computing environment. Considering the concern factors to develop context aware personalized services will help to increase service success rate and hopefully user acceptance for those services. Our future work will be to adopt these factors for qualifying context aware service development projects such as u-city development projects in terms of service quality and hence user acceptance.

  • 임업적(林業的)로 또는 조경적(造景的)으로 이용가치(利用価置)가 높은 24속(屬) 34종(種)의 목본식물(木本植物)을 대상(対象)으로 하여 배축(胚軸) 또는 유경삽수(幼茎揷穗) 발근현상(発根現象)을 해부학적(解剖学的)으로 관찰(觀察)하였다. 사용(使用)된 재료(材料)의 제반특성(諸般特性)과 각종(各種) 실험조건(実驗條件)들의 자세(仔細)한 내용(內容)은 Table 1과 같으며 그 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 배축(胚軸) 및 유경삽수(幼茎揷穗)의 횡단면상(橫断面上)에서 본 외형(外形)은 원형(圓型), 타원형(楕圓形) 및 부정형(不定形) 등(等)으로 삼대별(三大別) 할 수 있으며, 또한 부정형(不定形)은 원형(圓型)에 가까운 것, 타원형(楕圓形)에 가까운 것, 4각형(角形)에 가까운 것 그리고 삼각형(三角形)에 가까운 것 등(等)으로 구분(区分)할 수 있었다. 그리고 이들의 외형(外形)은 속간(属間)에는 현저(顕著)한 차이(差異)를 보이고 있으나, 동속내(同属內)의 종간(種間)에는 대체적(大体的)으로 유사(類似)한 경향이었으며, 속(属)에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 이것은 FAA액(液)에 고정(固定)시킨 조직(組織)에서 관찰(觀察)되는 사실(事実)에 입각(立却)한다. 2. 배축(胚軸) 및 유경삽수(幼茎揷穗)의 기부(基部) 횡단면(橫断面)에서 본 유관속(維管束)은 대부분(大部分) 병립유관속(並立維管束)으로서, 배열(排列)은 6 가지의 기본형(基本形)으로 종합(綜合)할 수 있었고, 속간(属間)에는 현저(顕著)한 차이(差異)를 나타내나 동속내(同属內)의 종간(種間)에는 대체(大体)로 유례(類例)한 경향(傾向)이었으며 간혹 예외(例外)도 있었다. 3. 공시수종(供試樹種)의 배축(胚軸) 및 유경삽수(幼茎揷穗)의 발근부위(発根部位)는 아래와 같이 6가지 부위(部位)로 종합(綜合)할 수 있다. 1) 유관속간유조직(維管束間柔組織) : 측백나무(Photo. 4), 천지백(5), 아기단풍나무(6), 단풍나무(7), 은단풍나무(8), 박태기나무(16), 싸리나무(24), 일본목련(28), 함박꽃나무(29), 예덕나무(30), 고추나무(46). 2) 형성층(形成層) 및 사부조직(篩部組織) : 편백(Photo. 1), 화백 2), 자귀나무(12), 회양목(13), 박태기나무(16), 사철나무(17), 벽오동(18), 배롱나무(22), 쥐똥나무(25), 버들쥐똥나무(26), 목련(27), 일본목련(28), 예덕나무(30), 뽕나무(31), 탱자나무(33), 가시나무(40), 찔레나무(44), 때죽나무(47), 쪽동백(48). 3) 제일차방사조직(第一次放射組織) : 사철나무(Photo. 17), 때죽나무(47). 4) 엽(葉) 적(跡) : 상수리나무(Photo. 37), 갈참나무(39). 5) 피층유조직(皮層柔組織) : 가중나무(Photo. 10) 6) 유합조직(癒合組織) : 밤나무(Photo. 15), 배롱나무(23), 갈참나무(39), 가시나무(41), 졸참나무(43). 4. 일반적(一般的) 경향(傾向)으로 배축삽수(胚軸揷穗)의 발근(発根)은 유관속간유조직(維管束間柔組織)으로 부터, 그리고 유경삽수(幼茎揷穗)의 발근(発根)은 엽적(葉跡)과 유합조직(癒合組織)으로 부터 근원기(根原基)가 각각(各各) 시원(始源)되었다. 그러나 특수(特殊)한 예(例)로서 가중나무 배축삽수(胚軸揷穗)에서는 피층유조직(皮層柔組織)으로부터 근원기(根原基)가 시원(始源)되었으며, 벽오동 배축삽수(胚軸揷穗)에서는 타수종(他樹種)에서의 일반적(一般的)인 양상(樣狀)과는 달리 유관속간(維管束間) 유조직(柔組織)과는 관계(関係)없이 유관속계(維管束系)의 목부외위(木部外圍)에 존재(存在)하는 사부유조직(篩部柔組織)으로 부터 근원기(根原基)가 기원(起源)됨을 볼 수 있었다. 5. 발근난이수종별(発根難易樹種別) 배축(胚軸) 및 유경삽수(幼茎揷穗)의 발근(発根)은 모두가 증류수(蒸溜水)를 채운 수관병내(水管甁內)에서 가능(可能)하였으나, 발근(発根)이 곤란(困難)한 수종(樹種)에 있어서는 대개 후막조직(厚膜組織)이나 사부섬유조직(篩部纖維組織) 등(等)이 발달(発達)하고 있어 발근(発根)이 늦어진듯 하며, 용이(容易)한 수종(樹種)에서는 그러한 조직(組織)이 없이 발근(発根)이 빨랐다. 그리고 발근난이수종간(発根難易樹種間)의 발근부위(発根部位)는 뚜렷하게 구분(区分)되지 않았고, 각수종별(各樹種別)로 다양(多樣)하였다. 6. 유관속(維管束)의 수(数)가 많은 수종(樹種)은 적은 수종(樹種)에 비(比)하여 대체(大体)로 발근(発根)이 늦었고, 배축(胚軸)의 유관속(維管束) 구조(構造)가 근계(根系)의 유관속체계(維管束体系)를 아직 탈피(脱皮)하지 않은 단계(段階)의 삽수(揷穗)에서는 완여(完余)히 정상적(正常的)인 줄기의 유관속체계(維管束体系)를 갖춘 것에 비(比)하여 발근(発根)이 빨랐다. 발근(発根)이 더 용이(容易)하였다는 사실(事実)은 이 경우 삽수하단조직(揷穗下端組織)이 근경전이부(根茎転移部)에 접근(接近)해 있었다는 가능성(可能性)을 암시(暗示) 할 수 있다. 7. 침활엽수(針濶葉樹) 공(共)히 배축(胚軸)을 삽수(揷穗)로 사용(使用)하였을 경우엔 성숙지(成熟枝)의 삽수(揷穗)와는 달리 대체(大体)로 유관속(維管束) 부근(附近)의 유조직(柔組織)이 근원기형성(根原基形成)의 주요(主要) 위치(位置)가 되며, 침활엽수간(針濶葉樹間)에 뚜렷한 구별(区別)이 어렵다. 8. 유경삽수(幼茎揷穗)에서는 엽적(葉跡)에서 인접(隣接)한 사부(篩部) 및 형성층세포(形成層細胞)들과 관련(関聯)하여 또는 유합조직(癒合組織)으로부터 근원기(根原基)가 형성(形成)되는 예(例)가 많으며, 배축삽수(胚軸揷穗)에서는 주(主)로 유관속간유조직(維管束間柔組織)이 근원기형성(根原基形成)의 주요위치(主要位置)가 되었다가 조직(組織)이 점차 발달(発達)되어감에 따라 그 위치(位置)가 유관속형성층(維管束形成層)으로 바꾸어져 간다.

  • 목 적: 전국 병원의 방사선종양학과에서 식도암으로 방사선 치료를 받은 환자들을 각 병원으로부터 입력 받아 세부 항목별로 분석하여 식도암 환자들의 구성과 특징을 파악하여 범국가적인 자료로 활용하는 한편 치료방침을 분석하여 향후 적절한 치료를 위한 가이드라인으로 삼고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 전국 병원의 방사선종양학과에서 1998년과 1999년의 2년간에 걸쳐 식도암으로 확진된 246명을 대상으로 하였다. 연간 400명 미만의 방사선치료 신환자 발생병원들을 A군, 400명 이상 900명 미만의 병원들을 B군, 그리고 900명 이상 신환자가 발생하는 병원을 C군으로 분류하여 최종적으로 A군에서 12병원, B군에서 8개 병원, 그리고 C군에서 3개의 병원이 연구에 참여하였다. 이미 개발된 Web-based Korean PCS system을 통해 각 병원으로부터 직접 자료를 입력 받아 이를 세부 항목별로 분석하였고 통계적 처리는 SPSS version 12.0.1을 사용하고 범주형 자료는 Chi-squared test를 사용하였고 연속변수는 ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test를 적용하였다. 결 과: 입력된 환자들의 성별 분포는 남자 224명(91.1%), 여자 22명(8.9%)이었고 연령별 중앙값은 62세 전후였다. 진단 및 병기결정을 위한 검사로는 식도 촬영술(228명, 92.7%), 식도내시경(226명, 91.9%) 및 흉부 식도 CT 스캔(238명, 96.7%)을 주로 시행하였다. 편평상피암이 대종을 이루어 237명(96.3%)의 환자에서 관찰되었고 중흉부식도(mid-thoracic esophagus)에서 발생한 식도암이 가장 많았다(110명, 44.7%). 임상 병기는 III기가 과반수 이상을 차지하였다(135명, 54.9%). 방사선 치료만 받은 경우는 57명(23.2%), 방사선 치료와 수술을 병용한 경우는 전체의 15%인 37명, 항암약물 치료와 방사선 치료를 병용한 경우는 123명(50%)이었다. 수술과 방사선 치료를 병행한 경우 전례에서 수술을 먼저 시행한 후 방사선 치료를 하였다. 항암치료를 방사선치료와 병행한 경우 반수 이상에서(70명, 56.9%) 동시항암방사선 치료를 시행하였고 31명(25.2%)에서 항암치료 후 방사선치료를 또는 항암요법 단독치료 후 동시항암방사선치료를(13명, 10.6%) 시행하였다. 방사선 치료는 6 MV (116명, 47.2%)와 10 MV (87명, 35.4%)의 X-ray가 대종을 이루었다. 방사선 치료 시 조사야는 longitudinal margin의 경우 중앙값은 7.0 cm이었지만 각 군별로 현저한 차이가 있었다(A군; 5.5 cm, B군; 8.0 cm, C군; 14.0 cm). 계획용 CT를 사용하지 않고 고식적인 AP/PA 조사야를 사용하여 치료한 경우가 대부분이었는데(206명, 83.7%) 이 때 방사선 조사량의 중앙값은 3,600 cGy이었다. 이후 추가 방사선 치료 시 계획용 CT를 사용하지 않고 2-oblique fields 사용하여 치료한 경우가 87명(35.4%)이었는데 방사선 조사량의 중앙값은 1,800 cGy이었다. 전 환자에서 1일 1회 180 cGy로 치료하였다. 전 환자에서 조사된 총 방사선량의 중앙값은 5,580 cGy이었다. 수술 후 방사선 치료를 시행한 경우 중앙값은 5,040 cGy이었고 수술을 받지 않은 환자 중앙값은 5,940 cGy이었다. 근접조사 방사선 치료는 총 34명(13.8%)에서 시행되었고, 전 환자에서 high dose rate Iridium-192를 사용하였다. 조사범위는 종양에서 longitudinal margin의 중앙값은 1 cm, prescribed isodose curve에서 axial length의 평균값은 8.25 cm, 폭은 2 cm, 그리고 전후 폭의 중앙값도 2 cm이었다. Fraction size의 중앙값은 300 cGy이었는데 B군의 경우는 500 cGy이었다. 총 분할 횟수는 $3{\sim}4$회가 대부분이었다. 한편, 방사선 치료 중 발생한 급성 부작용은 식도염이 가장 많았는데 전체 246명 환자 중 155명(63.0%)에서 발생하였다. 결 론: 전국 23개 병원의 식도암 환자 치료 Data를 분석해 본 결과 대부분의 병원에서 환자의 특징과 진단 및 병기 결정 방법, 치료의 유형 등에서 유사한 결과를 보였으며 신환 발생 수에 따른 병원 규모의 차이는 조사 결과에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 하지만 병원 규모가 클수록 10 MV 이상의 고에너지로 치료하는 경향이 많았으며 3D CT Plan도 병원 규모가 클수록 활용도가 높았다. 조사 야의 면적도 병원 군별로 차이를 보였다. 향후 더 많은 환자를 입력하여 생존율 분석까지 이루어지면 이 연구는 식도암 치료방침의 결정에 중요한 guideline을 제시해 줄 것으로 사료된다.

  • 본 연구는 실용계군에서 부계통 종계에 누진적으로 퇴교배를 수행하였을 때 변화하는 산란형질의 일반능력과 유전력 및 유전상관을 분석하므로 산란형질과 집단에 대한 유전적 변이의 특성을 구명하기 위해 수행되었다. 본 시험은 서울대학교 농과대학 실험계사에서 실용계 I 계통을 기초계군으로 사용하여 1985~1987연까지 사육된 1,230수를 이용하여 60주령까지의 각 개체별 성적을 기초로 하였으며, 교배조합별 그리고 누진퇴교배 세대별에 따른 일반능력 및 유전적 변이에 관한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 조사된 각 형질의 일반능력($Mean\pmS$_{D}$$)은 8주령 체중이 $663.94\pm87.11$g, 20주령 체중은$1579.1\pm155.43$g, 40주령 및 60주령 체중은 각각 $2124.1\pm215.31$g, $2269.1\pm242.94$g으로 20주영 체중을 제외한 모든 체중에 대해 퇴교배에 따른 고도의 유의차를 보였다(P<0.01). 산란형질에 대한 일반능력은 초산일령(SM)이 $168.43\pm12.94$일, 60주령 까지의 총산란수(TEN)는 $214.82\pm29.82$ 개, 평균난중(AEW)은 $61.45\pm3.48$g, 60주령까지의 총산란중량(TEM)은 $13180.7\pm1823.22$g으로 평균난중(AEW)을 제외한 모든 산란형질이 퇴교배에 대한 고도의 유의차를 보이고 있다(P<0.01). 한편 퇴교배회수가 증가할수록 산란성적이 우수하게 나타나는데, 이는 실용계에서 퇴교배를 하여감에 따라 분리된 유전자가 우수한 형질을 발현하도록 하는 유전자로 고정되기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 2. 각 형질에 대한 유전력은 다음과 같다. 초산일령(SM)과 평균난중(AEW)의 유전력은 각각 0.47~0.52, 0.40~0.54로 유전력이 비교적 높은 형질임을 알 수 있다. 그러나 총산란수(TEN)와 총산란중량(TEM)의 유전역은 각각 0.07~0.37, 0.18~0.27로 유전력이 낮은 형질임을 나타내고 있으며 모든 산란형질의 유전력이 모분산성분에 의한 추정치가 부분산성분에 의한 추정치 보다 높게 나타나서 이들 형질의 모체효과를 포함한 비상가적 유전분산의 효과를 시사하고 있다. 3. 퇴교배에 따른 유전력 변화를 부모분산성분에 의하여 살피보면 기초계군(BC0), 퇴교배 1세대(BC1), 퇴교배 2세대(BC2)로 퇴교배가 증가함에 따라 초산일령(SM)은 0.47, 0.42, 0.51 이였으며 총산란수(TEN)에서는 0.28, 0.13, 0.27으로 유전역 변화의 일정한 경향치를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 평균난중(AEW)과 총산란 중량(TEM)에서는 기초계군(BC0), 퇴교배1세대(BC1), 퇴교배2세대(BC2)로 퇴교배가 증가함에 따라 0.59, 0.43, 0.35와 0.28, 0.20, 0.18로 추정되어 뚜렷한 유전력의 감소를 보이고 있다. 이것은 퇴교배가 증가함에 따라 평균난중과 총산란중량에 대한 유전적 변이의 감소에 기인된 것으로 생각된다. 4. 산란형질간의 유전상관을 살펴보면 초산일령(SM)과 총산란수(TEN)간의 유전상관은 -0.55이고 초산일령(SM)과 총산란중량(TEM)간은 -0.42로 부의 상관을 보이고 있다. 그러나 초산일령(SM)과 평균난중(AEW)간은 0.20으로 낮은 정의 상관을 나타내고 있다. 평균난중(AEW)과 총산란수(TEN)간은 -0.29이고 평균난중(AEW)과 총산란중량(TEM)간은 0.31의 낮은 유전상관을 보이고 있다. 한편 총산란중량(TEM)과 총산란수(TEN)간은 0.82의 높은 정의 상관을 나타내므로 이상의 결과에서 총산란중량(TEM)에 관여하는 것은 평균난중(AEW) 보다는 주로 총산란수(TEN)에 기인하는 것 같다. 또한 총산란수( TEN)는 초산일령( SM)과 부의 상관관계를 보이고 있으므로 총산란중양(TEM)을 개량하기 위해서는 총산란수(TEN)를 증가시키고 초산일령(SM)을 단축시키는 것이 평균난중(AEW)을 증가시키는 것보다 더 용이하다는 것을 알 수 있다. 5. 퇴교배가 진행됨에 따라 각 형질간의 우전상관사이에서도 변화가 있었다. 퇴교배가 증가할수록 총산란중량과 총산란수간의 유전상관은 높아졌고 (BC0 : 0.79, BC1 : 0.82, BC2 : 0.91), 총산란중량과 평균난중간의 유전상관은 뚜렷한 경향치가 관측되지 않았으며 총산란중량과 초산일령간의 유전상관은 감소하였다(BC0:-0.54, BC1:-0.36, BC2 :-0.09). 그러므로 총산란중량에 큰 영향을 미친 것은 평균난중이 아니라 총산란수이며 퇴교배가 진행될수록 초산일령의 효과는 감소하였다.

  • 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 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.
