55명의 미숙아를 대상으로 이중 도플러 초음파 검사를 실시하여 대천문을 통한 전 뇌동맥의 혈류속도 및 혈류형태를 조사하였다. 미숙아에서 뇌 혈류속도 및 pulsatility index는 재태기간, 출생 체중, 및 미숙아의 나이 등의 증가에 따라 비례하여 증가하였으나 resistive index는 감소하였다. 뇌실 출혈이 있는 환아 군에서는 특징적인 resistive index의 증가가 보였지만 혈류속도 및 plusatility index는 불규칙하였다. 정상 미숙아의 뇌혈류 관찰 및 환아 군에서의 뇌혈류 검사에서 이중 도플러 초음파 검사는 비침습적이고 재현성도 뛰어나 선별검사로 유용한 방법이라고 생각한다.

본 연구에서는 ERP검사 중에는 중뇌동맥의 MFV가 검사전후와 비교하여 유의하게 증가힌 소견을 보였다. 비록 중뇌동맥의 혈류속도의 변화가 뇌활동정도를 직접 반영할 수는 없다고 생각이 되지만 이 연구의 결과로 P300의 생성에 중뇌동맥에 의해서 영양받는 전두엽, 측두엽 및 두정엽이나 다른 대뇌부위가 관여할 것으로 사료된다. 경두개도플러검사는 다른 뇌기능활동을 반영할 수 있는 양전자방출단층촬영이나 단일광자방출단층촬영과 같이 혈류역학을 볼 수 있는 검사와 병행하여 연구하면 P300의 발생부위를 규명하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 사료되며 뇌활동을 역동적으로 평가하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the hemodynamic responses, especially in arterial and skin blood flows, in conjunction with the changes of plasma catecholamine levels as an indirect marker of adrenergic tone during the early stage of head-down tilt (HDT), and to evaluate the early physiological regulatory mechanism in simulated weightlessness. Ten mongrel dogs, weighing8\;{\sim}\;14\;kg, were intravenously anesthetized with nembutal, and postural changes were performed by using the tilting table. The postural changes were performed in the following order: supine, prone, HDT $(-6^{\circ}C)$ and lastly recovery prone position. The duration of each position was 30 minutes. The measurements were made before, during and after each postural change. The arterial blood flow $({\.{Q}})$ at the left common carotid and right brachial arteries was measured by the electromagnetic flowmeter. Blood pressure (BP) was directly measured by pressure transducer in the left brachial artery. To evaluate the peripheral blood flow, skin blood flow $({\.{Q}})$ was calculated by the percent changes of photoelectric pulse amplitude on the forepaw, and skin temperature was recorded. The peripheral vascular resistance (PR) was calculated by dividing respective mean BP values by ${\.{Q}}$ of both sides of common carotid and brachial arteries. Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (f) and PH, $Po_{2},\;Pco_{2}$ and hematocrit of arterial and venous blood were also measured. The concentration of plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine was measured by radioenzymatic method. The results are summarized as follows: Tilting to head-down position from prone position, HR was initially increased (p<0.05) and BP was not significantly changed. While ${\.{Q}}$ of the common carotid artery was decreased (p<0.05) and PR through the head was increased, ${\.{Q}}$ of the brachial artery was increased (p<0.05) and PR through forelimbs was decreased. ${\.{Q}}$ of the forepaw was initially increased (p<0.05) and then slightly decreased, on the whole revealing an increasing trend. Plasma norepinephrine was slightly decreased and the epinephrine was slightly increased. f was increased and arterial pH was increased (p<0.05). In conclusion, the central blood pooling during HDT shows an increased HR via Bainbridge reflex and an increased ${\.{Q}}$ of the forepaw and brachial ${\.{Q}}$, due to decreased PR which may be originated from the depressor reflex of cardiopulmonary baroreceptors. It is suggested that the blood flow to the brain was adequately regulated throughout HDT $(-6^{\circ}C)$ in spite of central blood pooling. And it is apparent that the changes of plasma norepinephrine level are inversely proportional to those of ${\.{Q}}$ of the forepaw, and the changes of epinephrine level are paralleled with those of the brachial ${\.{Q}}$.

심혈관계에서 자주 발생하는 죽상경화증과 혈전의 발생 및 성장에 관한 복잡한 기전을 이해하기 위하여 뇌의 혈액공급을 담당하는 경동맥을 2차원 축대칭으로 모사하여 수치해석하였다. 박동유동 상태에서 경동맥 내에 25%. 50%, 75%의 협착이 형성된 경우에 대하여 혈관내의 속도분포 및 혈류역학적 벽 파라미터들이 고찰되었다. 혈액은 뉴턴유체 및 전단변형률에 따라 점성이 변화하는 비뉴턴유체로 간주되었으며 비뉴턴모델로는 혈액과 유사한 점성치를 나타내는 Carraeu-Yasuda 모델이 적용되었다. 해석 결과 혈관내벽에 작용하는 벽전단응력은 협착이 커질수록 크게 증가하였으며 비뉴턴유체보다 뉴턴유체의 경우에서 벽전단응력이 크게 평가되었다. 벽전단응력 진동지표(OSI)에 의해 시간평균 재부착점이 예측되었는데 비뉴턴유체보다 뉴턴유체의 경우에서 협착 영역으로부터 멀리 떨어진 곳에서 관찰되었다. 시간평균 벽전단응력구배(WSSG)도 협착이 큰 경우에 상당히 크게 나타났는데 비뉴턴유체보다 뉴턴 유체의 경우에 더 큰 값이 나타났다.

Background and Purpose: The greater part of patients to visit Hospital of Oriental Medicine suffer from cerebrovascular accident(CVA). There is transcranial Doppler(TCD) in the diagnostic method to confirm cerebrovascular accident(CVA). Transcranial Doppler(TCD) is an accurate method of monitoring the blood flow velocities of the cerebral vessels and have been generally used to prevent symptomatic vasospasm and confirm cerebral infarction. So we studied, in the crebrovascular accident(CVA), to estimate whether transcranial Doppler(TCD) is useful to. Methods: Using transcranial doppler(Multigon Model 500M Transcranial Doppler System), we measured the mean and peak velocity and the direction of blood flow in 10 cerebrovascular accident(CVA)'s subjects who had been examined by Computed Tomography(CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Results : As an anticipation, in cerebrovascular accident(CVA)'s subject with Cb-infarction, the mean and peak velocity of blood flow fell down remarkably and the direction of blood flow was change or irritable. But didn't find out any signal in lacunar infarction. Also, in case with spontaneous hemorrhage, the velocity and direction of blood flow was change but this signal was short of diagnosis for Cb-hemorrhage. Besides, we found signals about embolism, stenosis, thrombosis and occlusion in cerebrovascular accident(CVA)'s subjects. Conclusion: In Cb-infarction, the result of TCD was equal to diagnosis with Computed Tomography(CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). But about lacunar infarction or spontaneous hemorrhage, signals of TCD couldn't be found out or was insufficient more than Computed Tomography(CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI). In cerebrovascular accident(CVA)'s subject with embolism, stenosis, thrombosis or occlusion, signals of TCD were found out more than Computed Tomography(CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI). Therefore transcranial doppler(TCD) is necessary method which makes a diagnosis of cerebrovascular accident(CVA), with Computed Tomography(CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI).

A stroke is a medical disease where a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causes damage to the brain. If the flow of blood and different nutrients to the brain is intermittent, symptoms may occur. Stroke is other reason for loss of life and widespread disorder. The prevalence of stroke is high in growing countries, with ischemic stroke being the high usual category. Many of the forewarning signs of stroke can be recognized the seriousness of a stroke can be reduced. Most of the earlier stroke detections and prediction models uses image examination tools like CT (Computed Tomography) scan or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) which are costly and difficult to use for actual-time recognition. Machine learning (ML) is a part of artificial intelligence (AI) that makes software applications to gain the exact accuracy to predict the end results not having to be directly involved to get the work done. In recent times ML algorithms have gained lot of attention due to their accurate results in medical fields. Hence in this work, Stroke disease identification system by using Machine Learning algorithm is presented. The ML algorithm used in this work is Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The result analysis of presented ML algorithm is compared with different ML algorithms. The performance of the presented approach is compared to find the better algorithm for stroke identification.

For ischemic cerebrovascular disease, it is well known that early luxury perfusion is related to a good clinical outcome and single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) has the potential for providing useful information about regional cerebral blood flow. We report one case of Rt. MCA infarction mainly treated by oriental medicine and revealed luxury perfusion without thrombolysis. In acute stage, neurological deficits of the patient were very severe. 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT images obtained 10days after the attack showed large perfusion defect in the Rt. MCA territory. We followed up 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT 40days after the ictus. Despite of the poor early perfusion, we found considerably improved perfusion and neurological improvement.

Primary depression with cognitive impairment, referred to as depressive pseudodementia, may be mistaken for a progressive degenerative dementia. Recognition of primary depression is clinically important because of its treatability. To differentiate depression from degenerative dementia, author used brain SPECT. By the result the regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) in elderly depressed patient was decreased in the right frontal cortex. The pattern of rCBF was different from that of dementia which shows decreased rCBF in bifrontal cortex. By using brain SPECT in depressed elderly patient with cognitive impairment, the discrimination from dementia will be more effective and accurate.
