In this paper, fluttering behavior of mechanical monloleaflet heart valve prosthesis was analyzed taking into consideration of the impact between the valve occluder and the stopper. The motion of valve occluder was modeled as a rotating system, and equations were derived by employing the moment equilibrium conditions. Lift force, drag force, gravity and buoyancy were considered as external forces acting on the valve occluder. The 4th order Runge-Kutta method was used to solve the equations. The results demonstrated that the occluder reaches steady eguilibrium position only after damped vibration. The mean damping ratio is in the range of 0.197-0.301. Fluttering frequency does not have any specific value, but varies as a function of time. It is in the range of 11-84Hz. Valve opening appears to be affected by the orientation of the valve relative to gravitational forces.

An analysis of the dynamics of a mechanical monoleaflet heart valve prosthesis in the closing phase is presented. Employing the moment equilibrium principles on the occluder motion and the squeeze film dynamics of the fluid between the occluder and the guiding strut at the instant of impact, the velocity of the occluder tip and the impact force were computed. The dynamics of fluid being squeezed between the occluder and the guiding struts is accounted for by Reynold's equation. The effect of the fluid being squeezed between the occluder and the guiding strut was to reduce the velocity of the occluder tip at the instant of valve closure as well as dampen the fluttering of the occluder before coming to rest in the fully closed position. The squeeze film fluid pressure changed rapidly from a high positive value to a relatively large negative value in less than 1 msec. The results of this study may be extended for the analysis of cavitation inception, mechanical stresses on the formed elements and valve components as well as to estimate the endurance limits of the prosthetic valves.

The two major problems related to the blood flow in a floating type polymer valve are thrombus formation and hemolysis. It is well known that the shear stress in the fluid and flow separation around the valve are blamed for such disastrous phenomena. In this viewpoint, through study of the flow field around the valve is imperative to improve design of the valve. The aim of this study is to investigate the fluid flow around a floating type polymer valve. The numerical method employed in this study is the finite element software called ADINA. Incompressible viscous flow is assumed for blood using the assumption of Newtonian fluid. In this study, two prominent features of the axisymmetric flow around the floating type polymer valve are observed: jet-like flows observed near the gap between the conduit and the valve, and recirculating flow downstream of the valve. We also provided a detailed description of shear stress field according to the variation of flow conditions. The shear stress in fluid has its maximum value near the gap between the valve and the conduit.

Since the discovery, in the 1980s, of erosion-pit-induced fractures in implanted mechanical heart valves. cavitation on the surface of mechanical heart valves has been widely studied as a possible cause of pitting. Several factors, including peak dp/dt of the ventricular pressure. maximum closing velocity of the leaflet, and squeeze flow. have been studied as indices of the cavitation threshold. In the present study. cavitation erosion on the surface of a mechanical valve was examined by focusing on squeeze flow and the water hammer phenomenon during the closing period of the valve. In this study, we measures pressure wave forms near a valve and closing velocities of a disk, which were placed in a holder with and without compliance. In case of all holders, pressure drop of below vapor pressure expect at near the surface disk. It was also found that the closing velocity of the disk increased and that cavitation erosion was enhanced too. These results suggest that disk closing velocity during the closing phase has signifiant effects on pitting erosion.

This study aims to investigate the appropriate volume of artificial ventilation and success rate when Basic - emergency medical Technician administer bag valve mask(BVM) artificial ventilation to patients experiencing respiratory failure or respiratory arrest using a respiratory rate measurement device. The research was conducted from December 11th to 12th, 2023, targeting 20 Basic - emergency medical Technicians enrolled at D University. Ten participants were selected for the experimental group, receiving BVM ventilation training with the use of a respiratory rate measurement device, while the other ten were assigned to the control group, receiving BVM ventilation training without the use of a respiratory rate measurement device. The experiment involved providing artificial ventilation for 2 minutes. The results of the study indicated that the control group did not provide accurate tidal volume (p=.025). The experimental group demonstrated a higher success rate of ventilation over the 2-minute period, while the control group showed a significant difference (p=.001). Subjective perception of tidal volume and objectively measured tidal volume also exhibited a significant difference in the control group (p=.010). Therefore, training with a respiratory rate measurement device can align the subjective perception of tidal volume with objective measurements, increase the success rate of ventilation, and potentially contribute to improving survival rates in patients experiencing respiratory failure or respiratory arrest during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

타이타늄의 내부식 특성은 분해하기 어려운 산화물의 보호피막을 형성 함으로서 무독성의 생체친화적 성질을 가지고 있어 심장밸브, 인공 뼈 등 신체 조직의 이식에 사용될 만큼 인체에 무해한 금속으로 의료용으로 많이 응용되고 있다. 본 강연에서는 생체재료로써 의료용 타이타늄의 적용현황을 소개하고, 이를 통해 타이타늄의 가치를 다시 한번 재고하고자 한다. 타이타늄 임플란트에서 그 표면과 골사이의 골유착(osseointegration)은 성공적인 임상결과를 얻기 위한 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 1960년대에는 기계가공 된 매끈한 형태의 타이타늄 표면을 시작으로 골유착을 얻고자 하였다. 이러한 시도를 통해 임플란트가 점차 대중화 되면서 1980년대 부터 타이타늄 표면과 골과의 유착을 조기에 실현하고, 골유착 강도를 강화하기 위해 다양한 표면기술이 개발 되기 시작하였다. 크게는 1. 표면적 증대 기술, 2. 화학적 방식을 통한 표면기술, 3. 생체활성 유도형 표면기술, 4. 서방출 등을 응용한 골유도 및 활성 조절형 표면기술 등이 개발되어 제품화 되거나 그 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 다양한 표면기술에 대한 흐름을 이해하고 이에 대한 장, 단점을 이해함으로써 앞으로 기술적으로 극복해 나가야 할 과제를 제시하고자 한다. 또한 다양한 표면기술에 대한 유효성과 그에 대한 중, 장기 안전성에 대한 중요성을 이해하고 이를 평가하기 위한 여러 가지 절차와 방법 소개를 통해 신뢰성 있는 연구개발이 될 수 있기 바란다.

For the aritificial heart valve, two types of valves-polymer and mechanical valve- are generally used. The polymer valve is used as a new low-cost artificial valve. Among the several properties of the artificial valve, the low-regurgitation property is important because it can provide better cardiac output characteristic. So in this study we analyzed and compared the regurgitation property of the mechanical valve which is generally used nowdays and the polymer valve which was made in our group. As results, the polymer valve showed the better regurgitation property compared to the mechanical valve approximately by 3 times, and increased the cardiac output by 10%.
