  • 토마토 재배 작형 중 반촉성재배는 저온기 육묘가 특징으로 저온에 내성을 갖는 접목묘를 사용하면 겨울철 난방비를 절감할 수 있다. 본 연구는 반촉성 수경재배 시 방울토마토 대목 종류에 따라 나타나는 생육과 수량 변화를 비교 분석하고 엽 내 양분 함량을 측정하여 국내에서 육성한 대목의 성능을 검정하고자 수행하였다. 실험 재료로는 대목 계통 'HSF4', '21LM', '21A701'과 대조 대목품종 'B-blocking'을 사용하였으며, 접수 품종으로 대추방울토마토 'Nonari'를 사용하여 접목 처리구 4개와 비접목 처리구 1개를 실험에 사용하였다. 정식 후 160일에 '21A701' 대목 처리구의 줄기직경은 8.26mm로 대조 대목 처리구인 'B-blocking'보다 0.27mm 더 두꺼웠고 비접목 처리구는 7.23mm로 얇았다. 정식 후 153일에 '21LM' 처리구의 개화위치는 18.0cm로 'B-blocking'보다 6.2cm 더 높았고, 비접목 처리구는 9.6cm로 낮았다. '21A701'의 주당 총 수량은 3,387g으로 'B-blocking'보다 11% 높았고 비접목 처리구와 'HSF4'보다 각각 22%와 24% 더 높았다. 정식 후 167일에 '21LM'의 NO3-N 농도는 1,746mg·L-1로 높았고 비접목 처리구와 'HSF4'는 각각 1,252mg·L-1와 1,245mg·L-1으로 낮았다. '21A701'과 '21LM'은 뿌리 활력이 강해 생장과 수량이 다른 처리구에 비해 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 'HSF4'의 주당 총 수량이 적은 이유는 접목 친화성이 낮아 양수분의 이동이 약하고 이에 따라 생장과 엽내 질산태 질소 함량이 감소한 것으로 판단된다. 처리 간 수량과 생육 정도가 생육 후기 엽내 양분 함량과 비슷한 양상을 보여 엽병 즙액 분석을 통해 대목의 성능을 분석할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

  • 목적: 본 연구에서는 부신기능부전과 연관된 저혈압의 임상적 특성과 hydrocortisone 투여에 대한 치료반응을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2007년 1월 1일부터 2009년 8월 31일까지 분당서울대학교병원에서 출생하여 신생아집중치료실에 입원했던 재태주령 32주 미만의 미숙아 158명 중 미숙아 부신기능부전과 연관된 저혈압이 발생하였던 12명의 환아를 대상으로 하였고 이들의 임상적 특성과 hydrocortisone 투여 전과 후의 평균혈압, 소변량, 혈청 전해질 검사 소견을 비교하였다. 결과: 환아의 재태주령은 27.8${\pm}$2.5주, 출생체중은 1,110${\pm}$307g이었고 부신기능부전과 연관된 저혈압이 발생한 시기는 생후19${\pm}$7일, 월경 후 주령으로는 30.6${\pm}$2.4주이었고 당시 체중은 1,285${\pm}$365 g이었다. Dopamine 투여에도 저혈압이 발생한 미숙아는 hydrocortisone을 4.0 mg/kg/day의 스트레스 용량으로 시작해 2.2${\pm}$0.7일간 유지 후 감량하였으며 hydrocortisone 투여 전의 혈청 cortisol 농도는 11.6${\pm}$4.1 mg/dL이었다. Hydrocortisone 투여 당시와 2, 4, 6시간 후의 평균혈압은 25.0${\pm}$5.4 mmHg에서 35.0${\pm}$5.3 mmHg, 38.3${\pm}$8.0 mmHg 그리고 41.9${\pm}$6.5 mmHg 로 증가되다가 그 후로는 안정적으로 유지되었고 소변량도 hydrocortisone 투여 전에 0.9${\pm}$0.6 mL/kg/hr에서 치료 6시간 후 4.1${\pm}$3.4 mL/kg/hr로 증가되었다. 치료시작당시와 12시간 후의 dopamine 용량은 11.0${\pm}$2.9 ${\mu}g$/kg/min에서 8.0${\pm}$2.3 $\mu$g/kg/min로 감량되었고 24시간 후에는 5.5${\pm}$3.4 ${\mu}g$/kg/min까지 감량되었다. 혈청 $Na^+$ 농도는 hydrocortisone 투여 전 130${\pm}$4 mEq/L에서 투여 12시간 후 136${\pm}$4mEq/L로 증가되었고 혈청 $K^+$ 농도는 hydrocortisone 투여 전6.1${\pm}$1.1 mEq/L에서 투여 12시간 후 4.6${\pm}$0.6 mEq/L로 감소하였다. 결론: 미숙아에서 부신기능부전과 연관된 저혈압이 발생한 경우 hydrocortisone의 투여는 신속히 혈압을 상승시키고 소변량을 증가시켰으며 전해질 농도를 정상화시켰다.

  • 본 연구는 건강검진센터 검진자 중 혈청 중성지방 농도가 150 mg/dL 이상이거나 총 콜레스테롤이 200 mg/dL 이상인 고지혈증 초기 판정자 43명을 대상으로 12주 동안 의학영양치료와 병행하여 한방 기능성 차를 섭취하게 한 후 혈청 지질농도와 항산화에 미치는 영향을 조사한 것이다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 총 대상자 43명의 평균 연령은 49.41$\pm$5.2세였으며, 남성의 비율이 53.5%였다. 대상자의 51.2%가 혈중 콜레스테를 수치만 높은 제 II a형이었으며, 대상자의 37.2%는 혈중 중성지방과 콜레스테롤이 함께 높은 제IIb형, 11.6%는 중성지방만 높은 제 IV형이었다 모든 대상자는 2003년 건강검진결과 처음으로 고지혈증을 진단받았으며, 지질저하제를 복용하지 않았다. 또한 모든 대상자는 의학영양치료를 받아본 경험이 없었다. 체중은 남여 대상자 모두 군간의 차이가 없었으며, 실험 전과 후의 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 남성의 경우, 허리둘레가 HFT군에서 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 혈압 또한 HFT군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 여성의 경우는 BMI가 FFT군에서 실험 후 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 체지방 비율은 모든 군에서 감소하였다. 식사량, 식사의 규칙성, 식품군의 배합 및 짠 음식 에 대한 기호도 등을 조사한 결과 실험 전 식사량은 만복이 될 때까지 섭취하는 경우가 많았고, 사 시 배합에는 별로 관심이 없었으며, 평균 주 2∼3회의 식사를 거르고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 실험 후의 이와 같은 양상은 많은 변화를 보였다. 기능성차 섭취와 의학영양치료 전후의 식품 섭취 빈도는 실험 전 콜레스테롤이 많은 음식, 간식의 빈도가 실험 후 유의적으로 감소하였다. 모든 군에서 평균 섭취 열량이 실험 전보다 유의적으로 감소하였다. 총 지방의 섭취량도 유의적으로 섭취 감소를 보였으며, 포화지방산의 경우 HFT군에서 가장 큰 감소를 보였다. 다가 불포화지방산 또한 HFT군에서 감소하였다. 대상자의 P/M/S섭취 비율은 실험 전 0.73/1.l1/1에서 실험 후 0.98/1.38/l로 다가 불포화지방산의 섭취량과 단일 불포화지방산의 섭취 비율이 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 12주간의 식이 콜레스테롤 섭취량도 모든 군에서 매우 큰 감소를 보였다. 혈중 총 콜레스테롤 농도를 비교한 결과 기능성차군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다, 중성지방 농도 또한 총 콜레스테롤 농도와 마찬가지로 기능성차군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 혈중 LDL-콜레스테롤과 HDL-콜레스테롤 농도는 실험 전과 후의 유의적인 변화는 없었다, 고지혈증의 발병율과 밀접한 상관관계를 보이는 동맥경화지수는 기능성차군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 혈중 호모시스테인 농도의 측정 결과 FFT군의 경우 실험 전 정상범위를 초과하였으나 실험 후 정상 범위에 속하게 되었다. 항산화 물질 2항목(SOD, GPx) 측정결과 SOD는 실험 후 HFT군에서 유의적으로 증가하였다.(13.3%). GPx는 실험 후 FFT군에서 유의적으로 증가되었다.(12.8%). 결론적으로 의학영양치료는 식습관 및 식품섭취의 패턴을 변화시켰고, 총열량과 동물성 단백질, 지방질, 콜레스테롤 섭취의 저하를 유도하였으나 혈중 지질 농도에는 유의적인 변화를 나타내지 못하였다. 그러나 대상자 개인에 맞는 의학영양치료의 적용은 약물요법 이전에 식습관과 섭취량을 조절하는데 매우 유효할 것으로 사료된다. 한편 의학영양치료와 병행한 기능성차(상엽, 구기자, 국화, 대추, 참깨, 나복자가 복합 처방)의 섭취는 혈중 지질 농도를 저하시켰으며, 또한 항산화 효과도 나타내었다. 이와 같이 임상 효능이 확인된 한방재료로 제조된 기능성차의 섭취는 동맥경화증, 허혈성 심장질환, 뇌졸중 등 심혈관계 질환의 주요 원인인 고지혈증에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 혈중 지질 농도를 저하시킴으로써 질환을 예방하는데 의학영양치료의 보조적인 역학을 할 수 있는 기능성차로 차별화 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

  • 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.

  • H형강 철골 모멘트 골조에서는 기둥의 강축 방향 용접 모멘트접합부를 활용하는 것이 구조적으로 가장 이상적이다. 하지만, 모멘트 골조가 직교하는 경우, 기둥의 약축 방향으로도 용접 모멘트접합부를 사용해야 한다. 국내에서는 특히 강축 및 약축 방향 모두를 용접 모멘트접합부를 자주 사용하는 관행이 있다. 대표적인 연성내진상세인 RBS(reduced beam section, 보단면감소)접합부의 경우 국내외적으로 강축접합 위주로 실험연구가 진행되어 약축 RBS 용접모멘트접합부에 대한 실험자료가 매우 희소하다. 본 연구에서는 RBS를 도입한 약축 용접 모멘트접합부의 내진성능을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. Gilton-Uang (2002)의 선행연구를 참고하여 보 플랜지는 연속판과 맞댐용접하고 웨브는 전단이음판과 C-형 필릿용접부로 설계하여 실험을 수행하였다. 보에 사용된 강재가 내진용 강재가 아닌 일반 SS400 강재임에도 불구하고 3% 이상의 소성회전각을 발휘하였다. 제한된 결과이긴 하지만, 전단이음판과 보 웨브 사이의 C-형 필릿용접부 설계에서 보 웨브에 작용하는 휨모멘트와 전단력의 편심의 영향을 구체적으로 고찰할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 본 실험결과를 토대로 전단이음판 부근의 보 웨브 파단을 방지할 수 있는 C-형 필릿용접 형상 및 설계방안을 제안하였다. 보 플랜지와 연속판의 완전용입 용접부는 맞댄이음(butt joint) 형식이 되어 국부좌굴에 취약하고 이로 인해 피로파괴가 발생하는 경향이 있으므로 용접작업에 지장이 없는 범위에서 용접접근공(스켈럽)의 크기를 최소화할 필요가 있다. RBS형상, 스틱아웃, 트림, 연속판 두께 증가 등과 같이 이미 검증된 약축 모멘트 용접접합부의 내진상세들은 따르는 것이 바람직하다.

  • 복분자 (Rubus coreamum Miquel)는 우리나라 남부에서 야생하는 과실 생약으로, 식용으로 이용되고 있다. 예로부터 한방과 민간에서 맹안, 태생, 지사, 음위, 강장, 그리고 양모 등에 약재로 이용하고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 예로부터 한방에서 신장기능, 불임증, 음위증, 유정몽설, 강장제로 쓰였으며 혈액과 눈을 밝게 해주며 간을 보호하는 효능을 가지고 있다고 알려져 있다. LPS는 그람양성균의 세포벽을 만드는 물질의 일종으로 NO를 생성시키고 $Ca^{2+}$를 증가시키며 free radicals를 형성하여 간 조직의 막을 파괴하고 간의 지방을 축적시키고 노화를 촉진하는 역할을 한다. 그래서 복분자의 산화적 스트레스로부터의 지질개선효과를 알아보기 위해서 정상군, 대조군, 시료군 (RCM)군으로 분류하여 20일간 매일 같은 시간 내에 선 투여하고 21일째 되는 날 LPS를 4시간 전에 투여하여 그 독성이 가장 강할 때 해부를 하여서 활성도를 혈액 및 간 조직에서의 효소 활성의 변동을 평가하였다. 중성지방 (TG)의 에너지의 저장 형태로 존재하는 지방이다. 이는 안정한 물질로 몸에 축적된다. 하지만 과도할 경우 각종 성인병을 일으키는 요인으로 작용을 한다. 정상군에 비해 대조군의 경우 3.9배 증가하였으며 이는, 몸에 지질이 쌓이게 되어 성인병으로 이어지는 원인이 된다. 그에 비해 RCM을 투여한 군의 경우 56.4%로의 지질함량을 억제효과를 알 수 있었다. 총 지질 (Total lipid)는 혈청안에 있는 지질함량을 측정하는 방법으로 함량이 높을 수록 고지혈증, 동맥경화, 지방간으로 이어지며 부작용을 일으킨다. 이 경우 정상군에 비해 대조군은 1.67배로 증가를 하였지만 RCM투여군은 대조군에 비해 59.2%로 지질 함량을 유의적인 감소 효과를 알 수 있었다. 총 콜레스테롤(Total-cholesterol)은 인체의 여러 조직에서 만들어지나 주로 간에서 생성된다. 혈중 cholestrol의 증가는 비만, 동맥경화, 고혈압 등의 심혈관 질환과 당뇨병 지방 대사 장해 등을 일으킨다. 함량의 경우 정상군에 비해 대조군은 1.74배 증가하였다. 그에 비해 RCM 투여군의 경우 대조군에 비해 57.4%의 예방효과를 측정할 수 있었다. HDL-콜레스테롤은 항 동맥경화의 지표로서 콜레스테롤을 말초혈관에서 간으로 수송하여 동맥경화를 진행시키지 않는 방향으로 콜레스테롤을 운반하여 지질대사 장해에 대한 방어 작용을 지니고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 정상군에 비해 대조군은 2.62배 감소하였다. 그에 비해 RCM 투여군은 대조군보다 81.6% 증대되는 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 과산화 지질 (Malondialdehyde)의 경우 지질조직의 손상정도를 나타내는 중요한 효소로 인정되고 있으며, 조직의 손상, 발암, 염증, 성인병 및 노화 등과 같은 여러 가지 유해 작용을 일으킨다. 정상군에 비해 대조군은 1.74배 수치가 증가되었으며, RCM투여군의 대조군과 비교 시 57.4% 감소되는 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구는 LPS로부터 유도된 산화적 스트레스에 대한 복분자의 선투여 후 예방효과를 알아보았다. 생약재의 일종인 복분자의 경우 LPS로 유도된 산화적 스트레스 억제 및 지질대사로부터의 개선 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되며 지질과산화에 대해서 강한 억제 활성을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 복분자는 생활 습관병의 예방과 개선에 유효한 것으로 사료되었으며, 지질대사와 과산화지표의 검증을 통해 기능성 식품소재로 활용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

  • In Seoul area, there are so many kennel clubs, veterinary hospital, pet establishment and breeding confers that various problems have occurred. They are crowed pet houses, poor sanitation, stress to puppies, sudden environmental changes to puppies and unvaccination against parvovirus, canine distemper virus, parainfluenza virus, infectious hepatitis caused by Adenovirus type I and Leptospira. Several studies were made to survey the infectious agents involved in acute diarrhea of poppies in Seoul are, such as history taking, physical examination, complete blood count and serum chemistry, histopathological finding, bacterial isolation and identification, and hemagglutination test in feces and hemagglutination inhibition test in serum against parvovirus, respectively. The results obtained are summarized as followed. 1. The percent of PCV (30.5$\pm$5.6) and concentration of Total protein(5.0$\pm$0.8) resulted from statistical analysis are significantly lower than normal values (p<0.05), respectively. In addition, fibrinogen (505$\pm$326) was significantly higher an normal value (p<0.001), Band neutrophil (22.9$\pm$12.7) showed signifiant difference (P<0.01). decreased monocyte (3.2$\pm$2.1) and eosinophil (0.7$\pm$0.8) values appeared statistically significant (p<0.001), lymphocyte (16.7$\pm$9), as well. 2. The concentrations of calcium .(8.0$\pm$2.8), glucose (40.1$\pm$31.4), and albumin (2.0$\pm$0.39) were lower than normal values (p<0.01, p<0.01, p<0.001), respectively. Also Inorganic phosphate (7.1$\pm$2.4), pH (p<7.9f:0.2), and Blood Urea Nitrogen (40.41=37.1) were significantly higher than normal values (p<0.001, p(0.001, p<0.05), respectively. 3. Simple and mixed infections occupied 18% and 82% in the distribution of causes in puppies with acute diarrhea, respectively. 4. As puppies got older, incidence of acute diarrhea caused by Staphylococcus aureus was decreased to 13% and infection of canine distemper virus was increased to 53%, but E coli and canine parvovirus always showed high frequency of outbreak in the body weight ranged from 35g to 7.8Kg. 5. As showed in table 5, infections of E coli and Canine Parvovirus showed high outbreak regardless of the age which is classified into three stages, 35~50 day, 60 day and 75~day to 1 year, canine distemper virus appeared increased, but in case of Staphylococcus aureus, visa versa. 6. In comparison wi methods for the laboratory diagnosis diagnosis parvovirus, Hemagglutination test showed positive reaction in 25% and mean serum antibody titer measured by Hemagglutination inhibition test showed 2779 (n=20). In addition, positive reaction was 90% (18/20). 7. In histopathological studies, enteritic and pneumonic lesions were indicated in 53.7% and 39.5% of samples, respectively. 8. Etiologic diagnosis based on the history taking, clinical signs and histopathological findings in puppies with acute diarrhea and vomiting indicated that 50% of puppies were infected by canine parvovirus and distemper virus. 9. In the parasitological examination made by simple flotation with saturated zinc sulfate tour parasites found were Isospora canis, Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma spp and Toxocara spp. Isospora canis and Toxocara canis were more frequently found among those parasites of diarrhoeic causes in puppies ranged from 35 days to 1 year. Their infestation rates were 15% and 13% respectively.

  • 솔잎착즙액과 솔잎발효액의 항산화활성을 분석하기 위하여 총 페놀함량, DPPH 라디칼 소거능, 총 항산화능, $ORAC_{ROO{\cdot}}$ 활성, CAC 활성을 분석하였고, 항유전독성을 분석하기 위하여 DNA 손상 억제능을 분석하였으며, 항당뇨효과와 항고혈압 효과를 분석하기 위하여 각각 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 및 ACE 저해활성을 분석하였다. 총 페놀 함량은 솔잎착즙액(17.3 mg GAE/g)이 솔잎발효액(4.6 mg GAE/g)보다 유의적으로 3.7배 높았으며, 이는 발효가 진행됨에 따라 페놀 성분이 침전된 결과로 보인다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능, 총 항산화능 및 $ORAC_{ROO{\cdot}}$ 활성은 솔잎착즙액이 솔잎발효액 보다 유의적으로 높았다. 즉 1 mg/mL 수준에서 솔잎착즙액과 솔잎발효액의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 각각 33.3%, 21.4%로 나타났고, $60{\sim}530{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 솔잎착즙액이 솔잎발효액보다 유의적으로 높은 총 항산화능을 나타내었으며, $2{\sim}100{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 솔잎착즙액이 솔잎발효액보다 유의적으로 높은 $ORAC_{ROO{\cdot}}$ 활성을 나타내었다. 솔잎착즙액과 솔잎발효액의 CAC 활성은 AAPH 처리군보다 솔잎착즙액 및 솔잎발효액 처리군의 CAC 활성이 농도 의존적으로 증가하였으며, $50{\mu}g/mL$ 농도를 제외하고 두 그룹 간의 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 솔잎착즙액과 솔잎발효액의 항산화활성의 상관관계는 총 항산화능과 DPPH 라디칼소거능(r=0.836, p=0.000) 및 ORAC assay(r=0.918, p=0.000) 간의 높은 양의 상관관계가 나타났을 뿐만 아니라 DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 ORAC assay(r=0.909, p=0.000) 간에도 높은 양의 상관관계가 나타나 솔잎착즙액과 솔잎발효액의 높은 항산화활성을 추측할 수 있었다. $H_2O_2$로 유도된 산화적 스트레스에 대한 DNA 손상 억제능은 솔잎착즙액과 솔잎발효액에서 농도의존적으로 증가하였으며, $50{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 솔잎발효액이 솔잎착즙액보다 더 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 솔잎착즙액과 솔잎발효액의 항당뇨 효과를 알아보기 위하여 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 억제능을 실험한 결과 희석배율이 증가할수록 솔잎발효액의 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 억제능은 급격히 감소하는 반면, 솔잎착즙액은 솔잎발효액보다 높은 활성을 유지하는 것으로 나타났다. 항고혈압 효과 분석을 위한 ACE 저해활성은 2배 희석 시 솔잎착즙액 87.1%, 솔잎발효액 60.0%로 솔잎착즙액의 ACE 저해활성이 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 본 연구를 통해 솔잎착즙액의 다양한 생리활성을 평가하고자 하였으며, 발효가 이러한 생리활성에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 2년간 발효한 솔잎발효액만을 분석하였고, 발효기간에 따른 활성의 변화를 평가하지 못한 제한점이 있으나 본 연구의 결과는 지금까지 연구가 미흡했던 솔잎착즙액의 생리활성을 보고함으로써 솔잎을 활용한 기능성 소개개발에 유용한 자료로 제안될 수 있을 것이다. 또한 향후 연구에서 솔잎착즙액의 기능성을 증대시킬 수 있는 발효과정에 대한 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이다.
