Although medication is given to heart disease patients, conventional medication alone is not sufficient to treat heart disease. However, it has been reported that left ventricular assist device (LVAD) transplantation is an effective bridge to heart transplantation by assisting cardiac function. This study used long-term animal testing and emergency situations with a bovine model (Holstein) and canine model (Labrador-retriever) to evaluate the biocompatibility of LibraHeart-I (LH-1), which is a bent-tube type of LVAD that was developed in a previous study. In the long-term animal testing with the bovine model, the subjects survived for 49 days with no irregularities observed in their complete blood cell counts or the vital sign tests that were carried out during the test period. In short-term animal testing with the canine model, it was observed that blood did not remain inside the LH-I even without power support from an external drive source. In this study, the biocompatibility of the LH-I that was developed in a previous study was verified by the ejection performance during long-term animal testing and emergency situations.

Recently the biometric recognition technology is intensively studied and the standardization of the technology has been highly demanded for its commercialization. Currently many blometric recognition products are being developed based on the BioAPl(Biometric Application Program-ming Interface) specification. However, the reliable testing tools (or scenarios) to evaluate performance and conformance of the products are not shown yet. In this paper, a conformance testing method is presented, which verifies a biometric recognition system to meet the requirements of the BioAPl standard. Two different testing procedures are used in the proposed method. The first procedure evaluates that each functions offered in the BioAPl specification are correctly implemented and that the functions are actually used in the system. Through the Procedure, a BSP(Biometric Service Provider) system is executed on the framework of the BioAPl functions. It requires selection of parameters and prece-dent functions that should be executed first. The second procedure evaluates the abilities of module management, handling operations and ver-ification process by the analysis of the test cases. It tests the correctness of the system operation when a testing scenario is given. The proposed testing method is applied on a fingerprint verification BSP using the sample BSP provided by the BioAPl consortium. The experimental results shows the benefits of the proposed testing method.

Recently, biomedical-grade texture material gauze has often been used to treat wounds. At this time, it is difficult to remove scratches and pushed gauze; if you remove it with force, the tissue may separate and bleeding may occur again. In this study, we studied a method to apply medical-grade silicone material. Similar to the research result that hypertrophic wounds reduce the thickness of scar marks. Through mini-pig experiments, we evaluated the effects on scar treatment. The test results showed that the silicone cover layer applied to the wound site had a sealing effect on the wound area, skin temperature, and histopathological examination. In conclusion, gel treatment utilizing a biocompatible substance had the effect of minimizing hypertrophic scars.

실크 피브로인은 대표적인 섬유상 단백질의 하나로 생체적합성, 생분해성, 저독성 등의 유용한 특성을 가지므로 생체재료로 상당한 관심과 연구의 대상이 되어 왔다. 콜라겐 또한 우수한 생체적합성과 생분해성을 가지고 있어 유용한 생채재료로서 조직배양용 지지체나 창상피복재와 같은 의료용 분야에 적절하게 응용될 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 본 실험에서는 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP)을 공용매로 하여 실크 피브로인/HFIP 용액과 콜라겐/HFIP 용액을 각각 제조하여, 이들 용액을 75/25, 50/50, 25/75의 비율로 혼합하여 방사용액을 제조하고, 이 용액을 전기방사법으로 방사하여 실크 피브로인/콜라겐 블렌드 나노섬유를 얻었다.

The grafting of butyl methacrylate onto gelatin was investigated by potassium persulfate(KPS) redox system in aqueous solution. The optimum conditions of grafting were observed, and the physical property and the biocolnpatibility of graft copolymer membrane were examined. The gas permeability and the biodegradation by bacteria were decreased with the grafting percentage increased, and tensile strength increased with the grafting percentage increased.

A study on the biocompatibility of two types of new glass-ceramics materials, metal disc and dental porcelain that were already made for dental artificial tooth in the previous study, have been attempted. The chemical behavior and the Victor's hardness change in she artificial saliva and Ringer's solution have been also investigated. From the experiment of Implantation of glass-ceramics Into dorsal subcutaneous tissue of Sprague-Dawley rats, glass-cerarmics did not show any particular system of rejection for histrocompatibility.

섬유와 인류의 관계는 실로 5,000년이 넘는다. $\ulcorner$섬유$\lrcorner$라고 하면 많은 사람들이 $\ulcorner$의복$\lrcorner$만을 연상한다. 따라서 의복이 왜 그렇게 대단한 기술이며 과학이겠는가 하고 반문하는 사람도 있다. 이는 의복이라는 단순한 개념의 섬유만을 상상하기 때문이다. 장구한 의복의 역사가 곧 섬유의 역사라고 생각하는 것 또한 무리는 아니다. 그런데 최근 우리의 경제부흥에 가장 큰 공헌을 한 산업이 섬유산업이라는 데는 이의가 있을 수 없다. 지금 세계의 섬유산업은 내실 크나큰 변화를 일으키고 있다. 이는 장구한 세월동안 축적되어 온 섬유기술이 새로운 첨단산업을 탄생시키고 새로운 산업분야를 형성시키고 있기 때문이다. 지금 섬유산업은 르네상스를 맞이하고 있다는 것이 현실이며, 섬유기술은 고차원적인 첨단기술시대를 열어가고 있다. 선진 제국들은 중요한 테크놀로지의 하나로 신소재공학 기술을 열어가고 있다. 그 예로서 항공, 우주, 해양, 원자력, 토목, 건축 분야 등에서 요구하고 있는 고강도 고탄성의 섬유, 내열, 방염, 내부식성인 즉 내환경성의 섬유, 일렉트로닉스 분야의 도전성, 압전성, 광전성, 방사선 차단성, 흡진성, 도광성의 특수기능섬유, 라이프사이언스분야의 생체적합성, 혈액적합성, 고분리기능성 등과 같은 바이오섬유, 이 모든 것들은 21세기 각 분야의 첨단공학을 실현시키는데 필요불가결한 것들이다.

Hyeroxyapatite(HAp) which has good biocompatibility was made by Wet Chemical Process. The surface of Ti-6Al-4V, coated with HAp by lon Beam Assisted Deposition (IBAD), was treated with 5ppm, 10ppm, 20ppm, and 100ppm of $AgNO_3$ solution. In this Ag impregnation process, $Ca^{2+}$ of HAp was substituted with $Ag^+$ of $AgNO_3$. In this study, the antimicrobial effect and biocompatibility of Ti-6Al-4V alloy which was coated with Ag-HAp were examined. The antimicrobial test was carried out with two kinds of bacteria(P. Aeruginosa, S. Epidermidis), which are highly infectious in a transplanting operation of implant materials. As a result of the test, it was observed that Ti-6Al-4V alloy which was treated by 20ppm of $AgNO_3$ solution has good biocompatibility. In order to observe the antimicrobial mechanism of $Ag^+$, E. coli which is the most common bacterium was treated by Ag-HAp. Then cell morphology of E. coli was observed by the transmission electron microscope(TEM). The destruction of cell wall and cytoplasm of E. coil were observed. A black spot appeared in the cytoplasm was analyzed by energy dispersive analysis X-ray (EDAX) and it showed a small amount of $Ag^+$. Thus, it was proved that $Ag^+$ destroys bacteria effectively and Ti-6Al-4V alloy which was impregnate with Ag ion show antimicrobial effect on infection bacteria.
