레이저 형광법을 이용하여 초기 인접면 우식증을 탐지할 수 있는지의 여부와 그 탐지 감도를 평가하여 인접면 우식증의 진단에 활용가능한지의 여부를 규명하기 위하여 사람의 치아를 사용하여 다양한 깊이의 인공우식병소를 유발시키고 이를 가시광선 투과법에 의한 시진, 교익 방사선사진 촬영, 레이저 형광법, 광활성 염료를 이용한 레이저 형광법 등으로 관찰하여 검사법 간의 일치도, 상관관계, 병소 깊이에 따른 광밀도 등을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 탈회시간과 각 검사법들과 일치도 검사에서 시진의 경우 tau-c 값이 0.08로 탈회시간에 따른 시진의 검사 수치가 일치하지 않았으나 교익 방사선사진, 레이저 형광법, 광활성 염료를 이용한 레이저 형광법의 tau-c 값은 각각 0.60, 0.48, 0,64로 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 탈회시간에 따른 병소깊이와 각 검사법 간의 상관관계는 광활성 염료를 이용한 레이저 형광법$({\gamma}=0.51)$, 레이저 형광 법$({\gamma}=0.43)$, 교익 방사선사진$({\gamma}=0.35)$, 시진$({\gamma}=0.33)$ 순으로 높았으며 광활성 염료를 이용한 레이저 형광법과 레이저 형광법은 탈회 시간과 상관관계가 있었다(P<0.05). 3. 교익 방사선사진을 기준 검사법으로 한 레이저 형광법과 광활성 염료를 이용한 레이저 형광법의 진단학적 민감도는 각각 67%, 100%였으며 특이도는 57%, 11%로 민감도에 비해 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 4. 병소의 깊이에 따른 병소 표면에서의 건전 치질과 우식 치질 사이의 광밀도의 차이(DFR)는 광활성 염료를 이용한 레이저 형광법이 레이저 형광법에 비해 크게 나타났으며(P<0.05) 병소 깊이의 변화에 따른 광밀도 변화는 레이저 형광법의 경우 유의한 변화를 보이는데 반해 광활성 염료를 이용한 레이저 형광법에서는 변화를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 초기 인접면 우식증의 진단에 있어 레이저 형광법과 광활성 염료를 이용한 레이저 형광법은 교익 방사선사진에 뒤지지 않은 진단능을 가지고 있으나 우식 병소의 정성적인 분석뿐 아니라 정량적 분석이 가능한지의 여부는 향후 더 많은 연구가 필요하리라 사료된다.

본 연구는 젤라틴과 메틸셀룰로오스를 기저재로 한 불소겔을 제작하고 이들의 높은 점조도와 표면에 흡착하는 능력이 치면에 불소를 오랜 시간 저류시켜 법랑질 탈회를 효과적으로 억제할 수 있는지 살펴보고자 시행되었다소의 전치로 시편 80개를 제작하였으며, (1) APF gel (2) $CavityShield^{TM}$, (3) Gelatin F gel (4) Methyl cellulose F gel 이렇게 4개의 군으로 분류하였다. 모든 시편을 인공우식용액에 72시간동안 보관하여 법랑질을 탈회시킨 후, 표면미세경도 측정법과 편광 현미경하에서 병소의 탈회 깊이를 측정하는 두 가지 방법을 사용하여 탈회정도를 측정하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 불소를 처리한 experimental side와 처리하지 않은 control side간 미세경도의 차이는 APF를 적용한 제1군에서 71.82(VHN)로 가장 작은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 2) $CavityShield^{TM}$를 도포한 제2군에서 148.24(VHN)로 가장 큰 차이를 보여 불소바니쉬의 탈회억제효과가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 3) Gelatin과 methyl cellulose F gel을 도포한 3군과 4군에서 control side와 experimental side간 미세경도의 차이는 1군보다는 높고 2군보다는 낮았으나 3군과 4군간에 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 4) 인공탈회병소의 깊이를 측정한 결과 APF를 처리한 제1군에서 control side와 experimental side간 병소의 깊이차이는 $16.69\;{\mu}m$로 가장 적게 나타났다(p<0.05). 5) 2,3,4군 에서는 병소깊이 측정을 통해 탈회억제효과가 APF군에 비해 우수하게 나타났으나(p<0.05) 각 군 간에 차이는 검증되지 않았다(p>0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면 실험적으로 제조된 두 가지 불소겔은 APF gel에 비해 법랑질 탈회 억제효과가 우수하다고할 수 있으며 이는 APF gel에 비해 gelatin이나 methyl cellulose 의 높은 점조도가 불소를 더 장시간 치면에 접촉시킨 것으로 생각된다. 현재 가장 우수한 치면 잔류시간을 보이는 것으로 인정되는 불소바니쉬와 비교하여도 이들의 효과가 크게 떨어지지 않는 것을 알 수 있었으며 이는 향후 천연고분자 화합물을 이용한 다양한 불소제제의 개발 가능성을 보여주는 것이라 사료된다.

한국, 중국, 일본의 전통 꽃꽂이 특징을 알아보기 위해 문헌과 궁중 행사 장식용으로 이용되었던 전통 궁중회화를 이용하여 조형의 요소와 원리로 비교 분석하였으며 시대선정은 한국의 조선, 중국의 명, 일본의 에도 시대로 한정하였다. 유사점은 한 중 일 모두 꽃꽂이의 기원을 원시신앙에 두었으며 조형적인 형태가 발생한 시점은 불전공화에 두었다. 이용된 소재는 아취가 있는 화목류를 주로 사용하였으며 자연의 모습을 존중하고 심상적인 표현을 하였다(Fig. 1a-c). 기술적인 부분은 수제(水際)부분이 있었으며 선을 이용하여 한 가지에서 나온 것처럼 줄기를 모아 꽂았다(Fig. 2a-c). 차이점은 한국이 두 나라에 비해 소재의 수를 적게 사용하였고, 양감적이었으며, 도식화된 타원형으로 의궤에 계승되어 내려왔다(Hong, 2001). 또한 중국보다 조형적이었으나 일본보다는 자연미가 있었고 좌우균제의 미가 발달해 있었다(Fig. 3a-c). 한국의 꽃꽂이는 여백 처리와 선의 각도 변화가 크지 않아 부드럽고 온화하였으며 규모는 일본보다 더 큰 형태를 선호하였다(Table 1). 또한 화목류의 단일 소재 사용으로 화려함 보다는 조용함과 소박함이 있었다(Fig. 4a-c). 반면 한국에 비해 중국과 일본은 비균제의 미가 발달하였으며 많은 종류의 소재를 사용하여 화려하였고 화기의 외부 형태도 섬세한 디자인으로 되어있었다(Fig. 1a-c). 중국의 특징은 다양한 소재로 화려함과 풍부함, 소재에 인공을 가하지 않은 자연의 미였다(Fig. 1b). 그러나 형식을 경계하여 조형적으로 일본처럼 접근하여 발전시키지 못했다. 일본은 한국보다 다양한 소재와 각도의 변화로 화려하며, 섬세한 여백의 분할로 인공적인 기교가 극치를 이루었고, 격식에 맞춰 곡선과 직선의 대비로 선이 날카롭고 강하였다. 또한 제한된 주지의 각도 변화로 여백이 많아 가벼웠으며, 불균제의 미가 발달해 있었다(Fig. 1c).

본 연구는 로메인 상추를 대상으로 몇 가지 온도 조건에서 재배된 어린잎의 품질과 MA 저장 시 저장성을 비교하고자 수행하였다. 21℃, 28℃, 그리고 35℃ 챔버 내에서 인공광원(200 µmol·m^-2·s^-1) 하에 5주간 재배되었다. 재배 종료일에 생육 및 품질조사를 진행하였고, 20,000cc OTR 필름과 유공필름으로 각각 36일, 12일간 저장하며 필름 내 산소, 이산화탄소, 그리고 에틸렌 농도를 측정하였다. 그리고 저장 종료일에 엽색, 엽록소, 외관상 품질을 조사하였다. 재배 종료일의 엽장은 28℃ 재배구가 가장 길었고, 엽폭은 21℃와 28℃ 재배구가 넓었다. 엽수는 모든 재배온도에서 5~6장으로 유사하였고, 최대 양자수율은 21℃와 28℃ 재배구가 높았다. 엽중, 근중, 건물중은 21℃가 높았고, 재배온도가 올라갈수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 호흡률과 에틸렌 발생률은 35℃가 높았고, 재배온도가 낮아질수록 감소하였다. 저장 중 생체중 감소율은 모든 MA 저장 처리구는 저장 종료일인 36일까지 1% 미만이었고, 모든 유공필름 처리구는 저장 후 급격히 증가하여 저장 종료일인 12일째에 12~15%의 높은 감소율을 보였다. MA 저장 처리구의 필름 내 에틸렌 농도는 재배온도와 관계없이 모든 처리구가 저장 종료일까지 1~2 µL·L^-1의 농도를 유지하였다. 필름 내 산소 농도는 19.5% 내외, 이산화탄소는 1% 내외의 농도를 유지하며 모든 MA 저장 처리구가 CA 조건에 부합하였다. 저장 종료일의 엽색은 Hunter a^*, b^* 값 모두 대체로 MA 저장 처리구에서 높았다. 엽록소 함량은 재배온도가 올라갈수록 낮아지고, 유공필름 처리구와 비교해 MA 저장 처리구에서 낮았다. 패널테스트를 통한 외관상 품질은 21℃ MA 저장 처리구에서만 상품성 한계점인 3점 이상이었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면, 로메인 상추 어린잎은 21℃에 재배할 때 최대 양자수율이 높아 생체중 등의 생육이 좋았으며, 재배 중 온도환경이 낮을수록 저장수명이 연장되었다. 또한 저장 방법으로는 CA 조건의 이산화탄소 농도를 충족시킨 MA 저장처리에서 저장 종료일까지 우수한 외관상 품질을 보여 저장수명을 3배까지 연장할 수 있었다.

유사조절지는 하천 하류로 이동하는 모래 등을 조절하기 위해 설치된 인공 횡단구조물로, 하천의 유황을 변화시켜 수체 내 용존유기물질 변화에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 내성천 상류의 영주댐 유사조절지를 대상으로 3차원 형광 EEM (Excitation-Emission Matrix) 및 PARAFAC 분석(Parallel Factor Analysis) 기법을 통해 수중 용존유기물의 주요 성분을 분석한 결과, 4개의 휴믹 유사계열 성분(C1-C3, C5)과 3개의 단백질-트립토판 유사계열 성분(C2, C6-C7)이 검출되었으며 이 중 내·외부로부터 기원된 휴믹계물질(C1-C3)이 주를 이루는 것으로 나타났다. 유기물 성분의 총량과 성분별 조성비는 유광층 내 광량에 따른 수심별 차이를 보이지 않았다. 영주댐 유사조절지에서는 유입된 외부 유기물이 지속적으로 분해되어 내부 유기물로 전환되며 이로 인해 유기물 지수는 조사기간 중 내부 기원 유기물의 우점을 나타냈다. 수체 내 내부 기원 유기물의 증가는 식물플랑크톤 현존량, 특히 남조류의 상대풍부도 및 박테리아와 윤충류 현존량의 증가와 연동되는 경향을 보여 수체 내 부영양화로 인한 녹조 발생은 미생물 먹이망 활성화와 밀접한 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 수중 유기물 특성에 대한 연구는 물리·화학적 측면에서의 수질 관리뿐만 아니라 생물학적 환경 요인과의 관계 분석을 통해 동·식물플랑크톤을 포함한 미생물 먹이망을 통한 물질 순환 이해에도 중요한 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.
