최근 혈액암에 있어서 적극적인 복합항암요법및 골수이식등으로 장기 생존자의 수가 증가함에 따라 과거에 흔하지 않았던 합병증, 특히 척추 신경의 침범으로 인한 압박증상을 보이는 환자들의 수가 점차 증가하고 있다. 혈액종양과 고형종양간에 방사선 감수성의 현저한 차이가 있음에도 불구하고, 척수압박증상에 관한 대부분의 보고들이 혈액종양을 따로 구분하여 분석하지 않았으며, 충분한 수의 혈액종양환자를 대상으로 한 보고가 드문 실정이다. 이에 저자들은 1988년부터 1993까지 척수압박으로인해 응급방사선치료를 받은 32명의 혈액종양 환자를 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하여 치료결과 및 예후인자를 알아보고자하였다. 신경학적 진찰이나 방사선학적 검사 (척수조영술, 전산화단층촬영, 자기공명영상촬영)로 진단된 경우가 27례 이었고, 환자가 호소하는 증상 을 중심으로 'high index of suspicion' 으로 진단한 5례를 포함하였다. 발병당시 조직학적 진단이 없어 수술을 시행한 1례를 제외한 모든 환자가 방사선 단독으로 치료받았으며, 조사량의 범위는 800 cGy 에서 4000 cGy로 중앙값은 2000 cGy 이었다. 혈액종양의 방사선 감수성을 고려하여 200 cGy이하의 분할조사량이 사용되었으며, 신경학적 증상의 진행속도_가 빠른 13례에 있어서는 치료초기 2회 내지 3회에 걸쳐 250 cGy 이상의 고분할선량이 사용되었다. 전체환자의 $50\%$에서 좋은 반응을 보였고, $37.5\%$에서 부분반응을 보였으며, $12.5\%$는 치료에 반응이 없었다. 이러한 반응율은 문헌에 보고된 고형암에 비해 높았으며, 혈액종양만을 대상으로한 다른 보고들과 유사하였다. 진단당시 신경학적증상의 정도가 치료결과에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 예후인자였고, 증상의 출현에서 치료시작까지 소요된 기간도 치료결과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 조직학적 진단의 종류, 총방사선량, 초기고분할선량의 사용여부등에 따른 치료결과의 차이는 관찰되지 않았다.

골담초, 작약, 백출, 감초, 맥아, 곡아, 산사의 한약재 추출물로 제조한 식혜의 관능검사와 이들 한약재 추출물이 고지방식이를 섭취한 흰쥐의 간기능과 간 조직내 지질함량에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하고자, 생후 7주령 숫쥐를 정상식이군(C군), 고지방식이군(HF군, 5% 대두유, 15% 쇠기름, 1% 콜레스테롤을 첨가한 식이) 및 고지방식이에 저농도와 고농도의 한약재 추출물을 각각 5% 첨가한 식이군(HFE I군, HFE II군)인 4군으로 나누었다. 한약재 추출물로 제조한 식혜의 관능검사와 실험식이로 8주간 사육한 결과는 다음과 같다. 식혜의 관능검사 결과는 저농도에 비해서 고농도의 한약재추출물로 제조한 경우 전체적인 풍미와 기호도 점수가 높은 점수를 보였다. 제조된 식혜의 영양소 함량은 시판되는 산업용 식혜에 비해서 열량, 탄수화물 그리고 단순당의 함량이 높게 나타났다. 동물실험에 있어서는 고지방식이에 의해 높아진 체중증가량에 대하여 한약재 추출물은 아무런 영향을 미치지 못하였다. GOT 활성도는 C군은 27.2${\pm}$3.83 karmen/ml, HF군은 66.7${\pm}$13.0 karmen/ml으로 고지방식이의 섭취 시 GPT 활성도는 p<0.05 수준에서 증가되었다. 그러나 HFE II 군의 GOT 활성도는 44.5${\pm}$16.1 karmen/ml로 HF군 (66.7${\pm}$13.0 karmen/ml)과 HFE I군(62.6${\pm}$5.61 karmen/ml)에 비해서 p<0.05 수준에서 낮은 활성도를 보였다. 또한 GPT 활성도는 C군에서 17.8${\pm}$4.61 karmen/ml로 가장 낮은 활성도를 보인 반면에, HF군에서는 52.8${\pm}$5.64 karmen/ml로 가장 높은 활성도를 보였다. 그러나 한약재 추출물 I과 II의 공급으로 GPT의 활성도를 다소 낮출 수 있었으나 정상 수준은 미치지 못하였다. 간 조직내 중성지질 함량에 있어서 C군은 63.7${\pm}$17.2 mg, HF 군은 136.9${\pm}$24.3 mg 로 고지방식이에 의해 중성지질 증가 현상이 나타났다 (p<0.05). 그러나 한약재 추출물 공급군인 HFE I 군과 HFE II 군의 중성 지질 함량이 각각 58.3${\pm}$13.8 mg과 51.1${\pm}$9.68 mg으로 C군과 비슷한 수준을 보였다. 간 조직내 총콜레스롤 함량에 있어서 C군의 22.8${\pm}$1.42 mg에 비해서 HF군은 40.8${\pm}$2.90 mg으로 고지방식이에 의해 간 조직내 콜레스테롤 함량은 p<0.05 수준에서 유의성 있게 증가되었다. 그러나 고지방 식이에 의한 고콜레스테롤 증가 현상은 한약재 추출물 I과 한약재 추출물 II의 공급으로 각각 30.1%와 44.6% 콜레스테롤 저하효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 인지질 함량은 C군은 17.6${\pm}$9.40 mg/g으로 가장 높았고 그 다음으로 HFE I군(17.4${\pm}$ 9.40 mg/g), HFE II군(14.5${\pm}$2.13 mg/g), HF 군(11.8${\pm}$7.45 mg/g) 순으로 낮아졌으나, 모든 실험군간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해볼 때 식혜에 첨가된 한약재 추출물이 고지방식이에 의한 간 기능 지표 활성도와 간 지질 대사를 다소 개선시켰으나 정상수준에는 미치지 못한 것으로 나타났다.

석탄회는 기포에 잘 부착되는 미연탄소 성분의 입자와 기포에 부착되지 않는 산화광물 성분의 입자로 구성되어 있으므로, 석탄회입자를 수중에 부유시킨 상태에서 기포를 발생시키면 미연탄소와 산화광물질 입자를 각각 분리할 수 있다. 분리된 이들 두 종류의 입자들은 건축용 재료, 화장품, 섬유 및 반도체의 충진제(Filler), 흡착제, 야금용 탄소 등과 같이 고부가가치 원료로 활용이 가능하다. 본 연구는 부유선별법에 의해 구성된 향류컬럼부유분리장치를 이용하여 혼합입자인 석탄회 입자를 효율적으로 분리하고자 하는 것인데, 분리특성은 기포와 혼합입자의 특성에 따라 결정된다. 기포의 특성에 대한 연구는 장치의 설계와 밀접한 관련이 있기 때문에 선행연구에서 충분히 이루어졌으나 혼합입자의 특성에 따른 분리효율 평가에 관한 연구는 수행되지 않고 있다. 혼합입자인 석탄회가 분리에 미치는 특성을 파악하기 위해 석탄회 입자의 질량중앙직경이 23, 95, 190$mu extrm{m}$일 때, 미연탄소의 함량이 7, 11, 20%일 때에 각각의 분리효율을 분석하였다. 그 결과 공급되는 석탄회 입자의 크기가 작을수록,미연탄소 함량이 작을수록 분리효율이 증가하였다. 즉 포수제 투입량이 8$\ell$/ton-fa로 같은 조건에서 미연탄소 함량이 7%와 20%인 경우 분리효율은 각각 86%와 74%로 분석되었으며 질량중앙직경이 23$mu extrm{m}$와 190$\mu\textrm{m}$ 일 때 분리효율은 각각 74%와 39%로 분석되었다. 결국 석탄회에서 소수성인 미연탄소의 함유량이 증가할수록 분리효율은 감소하는 반면 입자의 크기가 작을수록 기포와의 부착성능이 향상되어 분리효율은 향상되는 것으로 분석되었다.ta$/$\beta$/$\gamma$/$\alpha$/$\alpha$/$\beta$]r 배향각을 갖는 적층판을, 일반기술자들이 이해하기 쉬운 본 논문의 방법으로 해석하는 방법을 제시하고 기술자들의 참고자료로 사용될 수 있는 여러 가지 경우에 대한 고유진동수의 계산결과가 제공되고 있다. 고유진동수의 계산결과가 제공되고 있다. 사료된다.거나 둔화되는 것으로 분석된다.으로 분석된다..리학적 부하량이 2 $m^3$/$m^2$/min 일때, 2 kg 02 kg $O_2$/kW-hr의 가장 높은 표준에어레이션효율을 나타내었다. 위의 두 실험 결과에 따라 packed column 에어레이터에서 발포스티로폼 입자를 산소전달 매질로 이용하여 산소 전달률을 증가시킬 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.i, Cu, Y, Nb, La, Nd, Pb, Th in excess of 10 ppm.

인간의 감성은 인간관계 속에서 발현되는 선험적으로 주체하지 못하는 감정의 오류를 현명하게 절제할 수 있도록 도와주며, 합리적인 선택을 할 수 있도록 감정에 명령하기 때문에 나와 타인의 행복(幸福)에 기여하게 된다. Abraham은 하나밖에 없는 아들, 그것도 백 세가다되어 얻은 아들을 제물로 바치라는 신의 명령에 고민에 빠졌을 것이다. 이때 그의 이성은 과연 합리적이었을까? 이성적 사유로는 자신의 아들을 바치는 행위가 적합한 행위라고 사유할 수 있겠지만, 인간의 마음으로는 그것이 과연 가능할 것인가? 또한 Aristoteles는 인간을 위한 선(善)에 있어서 인간적인 덕에 대해 정신의 덕이라고 하였다. 행복(幸福)도 정신의 활동이기 때문에 우리는 정신에 대해 어느 정도 알아야 한다고 말하였다. 이 ψυχή(psyche, 영혼) 정신(精神)은 비이성적인 요소로 눈에 보이지 않지만 이성적 원리에 개입하는 어떤 작용이다. 또한 C. G. Jung은 모든 인간은 눈에 드러나지는 않지만 역동적인 네 가지 심리기능을 가지고 있으며, 마음이 움직이는 것은 이러한 4가지 기능적 차원에 의한다는 것이다. 이것은 감각(S, Sensing), 직관(N, Intuition), 사고(T, Thinking), 감정(F, Feeling)의 요소가 복합적으로 작용하고 있다는 것이다. 또한 David Hume은 도덕은 이성에서 유래될 수 없다고 단정하면서 공감의 원리를 역설하였으며, Max Ferdinand Scheler는 어떤 사람의 시각적 특징을 파악하기 전에 이미 그 사람에 대한 전체적인 느낌을 마음속에 포착해 대응 태세를 취하게 되며, 이 느낌 속에 주어지는 것이 바로 가치이며, 이러한 과정을 통하여 가치가 부여됨으로써 인식 대상으로 고양되고, 가치를 파악하는 감정의 작용은 언제나 이성보다 선행하여 일어난다고 하였다. Emmanuel Levinas는 지극히 감정적인 사랑의 감정은 이성에 앞서며, 감성이 인간의 이성적 사유와 합리성에 앞선다는 것은 감정의 통제 불능에서 우리는 통제가능성과 절제의 요구로서 이성적 사유와 합리적이고 현명한 실천이성을 요구하게 되기 때문이라고 언급하였다. 인간의 감성적인 교육의 일환으로 도덕윤리과 교육과정에서는 Bloom의 인지적 정의적 행동적영역의 통합적인 사고를 갖춘 존재로서 도덕적 실천행위를 하는 존재를 이상형으로 지향하고 있다. 어떻게 하면 덕스러운 행위에 대한 감정의 지향성을 따르는 행위를 할 수 있으며, 또 어떻게 하면 부덕한 행위에 대한 감정의 지양성을 함양할 수 있을 것인가에 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 이러한 문제해결의 방향성은 바로 '덕감(德感) 강화'의 원리와 '부덕감(不德感)제거'의 원리로 우리는 인간의 감성(感性)과 행복감(幸福感) 함양에 대한 가능성과 방향성을 설계할 수 있다.

Nursing of today has as one of its objectives the solving of problems related to human needs arising from the demands of a rapidly changing society. This nursing objective, I believe, can he attained by the appropriate application of scientific principles in the giving of comprehensive nursing care. Comprehensive nursing care may be defined as nursing care which meets all of the patient's needs. the needs of patients are said to fall into five broad categories: physical needs, psychological needs, environmental needs, socio-economic needs, and teaching needs. Most people who become ill have adjustment problems related to their new situation. Because patient teaching is one of the most important functions of professional nursing, the success of this teaching may be used as a gauge for evaluating comprehensive nursing care. This represents a challenge foe the future. A questionnaire consisting of 67 items was distributed to 200 professional nurses working ill direct patient care at Yonsei University Medical Center in Seoul, Korea. 160 (80,0%) nurses of the total sample returned completed questionnaires 81 (50.6%) nurses were graduates of 3 fear diploma courser 79 (49.4%) nurses were graduates of 4 year collegiate nursing schools in Korea 141 (88,1%) nurses had under 5 years of clinical experience in a medical center, while 19 (11.9%) nurses had more than 5years of clinical experience. Three hypotheses were tested: 1. “Nurses had high levels of concept and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by the use of a statistical method, the mean average. 2. “Nurses graduating from collegiate programs and diploma school programs of nursing show differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by a statistical method, the mean average, although the results showed little difference between the two groups. 3. “Nurses having different amounts of clinical experience showed differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by the use of a statistical method, the mean average. 2. “Nurses graduating from collegiate programs and diploma school programs of nursing show differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by a statistical method, the mean average, although the results showed little difference between the two groups. 3. “Nurses having different amounts of clinical experience showed differences in concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching”-This was demonstrated by the use of the T-test. Conclusions of this study are as follow: Before attempting the explanation, of the results, the questionnaire will he explained. The questionnaire contained 67 questions divided into 9 sections. These sections were: concept, content, time, prior preparation, method, purpose, condition, evaluation, and recommendations for patient teaching. 1. The nurse's concept of patient teaching: Most of the nurses had high levels of concepts and knowledge toward patient teaching. Though nursing service was task-centered at the turn of the century, the emphasis today is put on patient-centered nursing. But we find some of the nurses (39.4%) still are task-centered. After, patient teaching, only a few of the nurses (14.4%) checked this as “normal teaching.”It seems therefore that patient teaching is often done unconsciously. Accordingly it would he desirable to have correct concepts and knowledge of teaching taught in schools of nursing. 2. Contents of patient teaching: Most nurses (97.5%) had good information about content of patient teaching. They teach their patients during admission about their diseases, tests, treatments, and before discharge give nurses instruction about simple nursing care, personal hygiene, special diets, rest and sleep, elimination etc. 3. Time of patient teaching: Teaching can be accomplished even if there is no time set aside specifically for it. -a large part of the nurse's teaching can be done while she is giving nursing care. If she believes she has to wait for time free from other activities, she may miss many teaching opportunities. But generally proper time for patient teaching is in the midmorning or midafternoon since one and a half or two hours required. Nurses meet their patients in all stages of health: often tile patient is in a condition in which learning is impossible-pain, mental confusion, debilitation, loss of sensory perception, fear and anxiety-any of these conditions may preclude the possibility of successful teaching. 4. Prior preparation for patient teaching: The teaching aids, nurses use are charts (53.1%), periodicals (23.8%), and books (7.0%) Some of the respondents (28.1%) reported that they had had good preparation for the teaching which they were doing, others (27.5%) reported adequate preparation, and others (43.8%) reported that their preparation for teaching was inadequate. If nurses have advance preparation for normal teaching and are aware of their objectives in teaching patients, they can do effective teaching. 5. Method of patient teaching: The methods of individual patient teaching, the nurses in this study used, were conversation (55.6%) and individual discussion (19.2%) . And the methods of group patient teaching they used were demonstration (42.3%) and lecture (26.2%) They should also he prepared to use pamphlet and simple audio-visual aids for their teaching. 6. Purposes of patient teaching: The purposes of patient teaching is to help the patient recover completely, but the majority of the respondents (40.6%) don't know this. So it is necessary for them to understand correctly the purpose of patient teaching and nursing care. 7. Condition of patient teaching: The majority of respondents (75.0%) reported there were some troubles in teaching uncooperative patients. It would seem that the nurse's leaching would be improved if, in her preparation, she was given a better understanding of the patient and communication skills. The majority of respondents in the total group, felt teaching is their responsibility and they should teach their patient's family as well as the patient. The place for teaching is most often at the patient's bedside (95.6%) but the conference room (3.1%) is also used. It is important that privacy be provided in learning situations with involve personal matters. 8. Evaluation of patient teaching: The majority of respondents (76.3%,) felt leaching is a highly systematic and organized function requiring special preparation in a college or university, they have the idea that teaching is a continuous and ever-present activity of all people throughout their lives. The suggestion mentioned the most frequently for improving preparation was a course in patient teaching included in the basic nursing program. 9. Recommendations: 1) It is recommended, that in clinical nursing, patient teaching be emphasized. 2) It is recommended, that insertive education the concepts and purposes of patient teaching he renewed for all nurses. In addition to this new knowledge, methods and materials which can be applied to patient teaching should be given also. 3) It is recommended, in group patient teaching, we try to embark on team teaching.

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.
