The purpose of the present study was to investigate the difference of muscular activities of the tongue and lip muscles between anterior open-bite and normal occlusion during various function. Thirty eight subjects of 12.1-39.6 years were employed in this study : Eighteen subjects were anterior open-bites and tweenty subjects were normal occlusions. During rest position, maximum effort of lip sealing, command swallow of saliva and sucking & swallowing of juice, the electromyographic datas of the genioglossus, superior longitudinal muscle of tongue, upper and lower orbicularis oris were recorded and integrated with Medelec MS 25 electromyographic machine. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken on all subjects for the analysis of tongue posture and size. All data were recored and statistically processed. The findings of this study can be summerized as follows : 1. During the rest position, muscular activity of tongue was higher than that of lip muscle in open-bite, but no difference in normal occlusion group. 2. During the swallowing of juice, the activity of orbicularis oris was higher than that of genioglossus in open-bite. But the normal occusion was showed higher activity of tongue during the swallowing of juice. 3. The open-bite, compared to the normal occlusion, had higher value of tongue muscle activity during the rest position. 4. Compared to normal occlusion group, the open-bite had higher value of lip muscle activity during the sucking and swallowing of juice. 5. During the command swallow of saliva, the normal occlusion was showed harmonious swallowing pattern, but the open-bite showed much variation and disharmony in muscular contraction sequence, tended to absent of lip muscle activity. 6. At the lateral cephalometric radiographs, compared to the normal occlusion, the open-bite was showed lower tongue posture. But no difference was found in intermaxillary space. It is suggested that the open-bite, compared to the normal occlusion, had higher muscular activity of tongue during the rest position and various functions, showed lower tongue posture on the lateral cephalogram. In the development of anterior open-bite malocclusion, these factors may be an etiologic factor.

인두는 구강과 식도, 비강과 폐의 중간에서 능동적으로 구강을 통해 섭취되는 음식물과 비강을 통해 흡입되는 공기의 통로역할을 하는 주요한 기관이다. 본 연구는 유한요소기법을 이용한 인두의 3차원 구조의 재구성 과정을 거쳐 인두의 생체역학모델을 구현하였으며, 연하곤란환자의 인두근육의 주요부분에 대한 구조적 변형특성을 3가지로 분류하여 유한요소기법을 이용하여 인두내의 압력에 대한 형상의 변형을 관찰 후 최적화 과정을 거쳐 각 부분에서의 추정 압력 구배를 측정하여 연하과정에서 내부에 생성되는 압력의 연속적인 압력분포를 추정하였다. CT에 의한 인두의 변형 형상을 추정하여 임의 압력에 의한 인두구조의 변형 형상을 유한요소 해석에 의해 계산한 후 비교하여 실제 인두강 내에 형성되는 압력을 추정하였다. 재료적 특성은 인두의 기능이상 시 근조직경화가 발생, 즉 stiffness 가 증가하는 것으로 가정하여 응력-변형률 관계에 있어서 각각 $25\%,\;50\%,\;75\%$씩 증가시켜 분석하였다. 이러한 인두의 생체역학모델은 인두기능장애를 가진 환자의 치료 계획 수립에 도움이 되는 유용한 자료를 제공 할 것으로 생각된다.

내피세포가 잘 보존된 개 신동맥에서 Phenylephrine으로 전 수축시킨 후 Actylcholine을 투여하면 혈관 이완을 관찰할 수 있었지만 내피세포를 파괴시킨 개 신동맥에서는 혈관 이완을 관찰할 수 없었으므로 내피세포가 혈관 이완에 관여함을 알 수 있었다. 그래서 내피세포에서 분비되어 혈관 이완을 촉진하는 물질을 Endothelium Dependent Relaxation Factor (EDRF)라고 한다. Acetylcholine에 의한 혈관 이완은 Atropine에 의해 경쟁적으로 억제되었으므로 Muscarinc 수용체의 자극을 받아 EDRF가 분비되고 이것이 평활근에 작용하여 이완을 일으킬 것으로 생각되었다. EDRF의 작용기전을 알아보기 위해 용해성 Guanylate cyclase 억제제인 Methylene blue를 전처치 했을 때는 Acetylcholine 뿐 만 아니라 Sodium nitroprusside에 의한 이완도 억제되었다. 그러나 Prostacyclin에 의한 이완은 억제되지 않았다. 이 결과로 판단 해 보면 EDRF에 의한 이완효과가 Cyclic GMP와 관련이 있을 것으로 생각되었다. 한편 Thromboxane $A_2$ 유사체인 U-46619로 전수축 시킨 후 Alpha-2 아드레날린성 항진제인 Clondine을 투여했을 때 혈관 이완은 일어나지 않았다. 수축의 억제 양상에 있어서 Alpha-1 아드레날린성 항진제인 Phenylephrine보다 Clonidine이 더 효과적 이었다. 이상의 결과를 기초로 하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 1) Muscarinic 수용체의 자극을 받아 EDRF의 분비가 촉진된다. 2) Alpha-1 아드레날린성 수용체와 Alpha-2 아드레날린성 수용체가 개 신동맥에 존재한다. 3) EDRF에 의한 이완이 Methylene blue에 의해서 억제되므로 cGMP를 이용한 기전 임을 알 수 있었다.단요수근신건과 외상과의 변화를 알 수 있으며 진단에 있어서 보조적인 역할을 할 수 있다. 하지만, 치료 후 증상 호전 도달기간의 예후 판정에는 크게 도움이 되지 않는다. 시술과정에서 코일의 이탈이 2예에서 발생하였으나, 모두 snare기법으로 제거되었고, 그 밖의 다른 합병증은 없었다. 결론: 만성골반통을 일으키는 골반울혈증후군의 치료에 있어서 코일을 이용한 난소정맥색전술은 단기추적검사상 다수에서 증상의 소실 및 완화를 보여 비교적 효과적이고 안전한 방법으로생각되며, 다른 병인이 공존하지 않는다면 기존의 수술적 치료를 대치할 수 있는 훌륭한 중재적 치료법으로써 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 있게 큰 수치를 보였다. 결론: 정상 두개내혈관 직경은, 성별 차이가 40대에서 분명하였고 남자가 여자에 비하여 크거나 큰 경향을 보였으며, 중뇌동맥 직경은 성별에 상관없이 고령층이 저령층에 비하여 의미있게 크거나 큰 경향을 나타내었다. 고령층의 중뇌동맥 근위부 직경은 남자가 2.59$\pm$0.35 mm, 여자가 2.38$\pm$0.37 mm이었고, 원위부 직경은 남자가 2.63$\pm$0.43 mm, 여자가 2.39$\pm$0.35 mm 이었다.고 Monaliza Finely Soft는 23% 더 높은 분리율을 나타냈으므로 선충분리용(線蟲分離用)으로는 향수처리(香水處理)되지 않은 것이 더 좋은 것으로 사료(思料)된다. 4. 온도별(溫度別) 선충분리율(線蟲分離率)을 $15^{\circ},\;25^{\circ}\;and\;35^{\circ}C$에서 조사(調査)한 결과(結果) 전체적(全體的)으로 $35^{\circ}C$에서 분리율(分離率)이 가장 높게 나타났다. 5. 시간경과(時間經過)에 따른 선충분리율(線蟲分離率)은 12시간(時間) 후(後)가 35.3 %이고 24시간(時間) 후(後)가 40.

연구배경: 저산소증에 의한 폐동맥수축의 기전은 저산소증 자체가 폐혈관 평활근에 직접 작용하여 수축을 유발한다는 것과, 저산소증에 의해 조직으로 부터 여러 매개물질이 유리되어 혈관평활근을 수축시킨다는 설이 제시되고 있지만 정확히 밝혀져있지 않다. 최근에는 저산소증이 EDRF의 생성을 억제하여 혈관수축을 유발시킨다고하여 관심이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 흰쥐 폐동맥에서 내피세포 의존형 혈관이완을 조사하고, 저산소증에 의한 폐동맥수축에 EDRF의 작용을 조사하였다. 방법 : 300~350g의 수컷 흰쥐(Sprague Dawley)의 폐동맥을 박리하여 길이가 2mm되는 폐동맥고리를 Krebs용액으로 채워져 있으며, 95% $O_2$/5% $CO_2$(산소상태)와 95% $N_2$/5% $CO_2$(저산소상태)가 각각 공급되는 magnus관에서 가는 stainless 갈고리로 고정한 다음 Gilson사의 polygraph에 부착된 isometric transducer(FT.03 Grass, Quincy, USA)에 의해 등장성 수축곡선을 그리도록 장치하였다. 결과: 1) 내피세포가 있는 폐동맥에서 PE($10^{-6}M$)에 의한 혈관수축은 Ach($10^{-9}-10^{-5}M$) 및 SN($10^{-9}-10^{-5}M$)의 농도에 비례해서 이완되어 거의 기초장력까지 이완되었으나, 내피세포를 제거한 폐동맥에서는 Ach($10^{-9}-10^{-5}M$)에 의한 혈관이완은 거의 상실되었다. 2) L-NMMA($10^{-4}M$)으로 전처치한 경우 Ach($10^{-9}-10^{-5}M$)에 의한 혈관이완은 전처치하지 않은 경우보다 의미있게 감소하였다. 3) L-arginine($10^{-4}M$)과 L-NMMA($10^{-4}M$)을 전처치 하였을 경우 Ach($10^{-9}-10^{-5}M$)에 의한 혈관이완은 L-NMMA에 의해 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 4) PE($10^{-6}M$)에 의한 폐동맥 수축은 산소상태보다 저산소 상태에서 훨씬 강했으며, Ach($10^{-9}-10^{-5}M$)에 의한 혈관이완은 산소상태보다 저산소상태에서 의미있게 감소하였다. 5) L-arginine($10^{-4}M$)을 전처치 하였을 경우 저산소상태에서의 Ach($10^{-9}-10^{-5}M$)에 의한 혈관이완은 산소상태에서의 Ach 에 의한 혈관이완 정도로 회복되었다. 결론: 흰쥐 폐동맥에서 내피세포의존성 혈관이완은 NO가 관여하며, 저산소증에 의한 폐동맥 수축은 내피세포내의 EDRF 생성의 저하와 관련이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

목 적: 항암요법에 의한 부작용 중 방사선섬유증(radiation fibrosis)은 방사선치료 후 빈번하게 일어나지만 발생빈도 및 심각성에 비해 치료법이 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 방사선섬유증의 기전 연구 및 치료제 개발을 위해 방사선섬유증 동물모델계를 확립하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 마우스의 대퇴부에 20 Gy의 방사선을 1주 간격으로 2회 조사한 후 날짜 별로 육안적 평가와 haematoxylin & eosin (H&E) 및 Masson’s Trichrome 염색을 통한 조직학적 변화를 평가하였다. 연부조직 수축도를 평가하기 위하여 특별히 고안된 틀을 이용하여 양쪽 하지의 길이 차이를 측정하였고, transforming growth factor (TGF)-${\beta}$의 발현 정도를 면역조직염색 및 중합효소연쇄반응(polymerase chain reaction)을 통해 측정하였다. 결 과: 본 연구에서 20 Gy씩 2회의 방사선조사를 시행하고 14, 28, 42, 97일 후 양측 하지의 수축도를 비교한 결과 42일 이후에 유의한 길이 차이가 나타났고 조직검사 결과 방사선이 조사된 피부 및 연부조직에서 아교질(collagen)과 세포외바탕질(extracellular matrix) 섬유가 불규칙한 배열을 나타내었으며 근육섬유모세포(myofibroblast)의 증가가 관찰되었다. TGF-${\beta}$ 발현 정도를 면역염색으로 조사한 결과 시간이 지남에 따라 증가하였고, 중합효소연쇄반응상 mRNA 발현량도 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다. 결 론: BALB/c 마우스의 대퇴부에 20 Gy의 방사선을 2회 조사하였을 때 방사선섬유증과 관련된 주요 인자인 TGF-${\beta}$의 발현량이 증가하였을 뿐만 아니라 외관적으로도 뚜렷한 방사선섬유증이 관찰되어 앞으로의 연구를 위한 효과적인 동물모델계로 사료된다.

외부 자극에 의해 세포 내 $Ca^{2+}$이 증가하면 $K^{+}$이 유출되는 기전을 통해 세포 외 $K^{+}$이 증가하는데, 이 $K^{+}$ 의 증가가 혈관 수축에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 쥐 대동맥 혈관내피세포를 이용해 실험을 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 세포 외 $K^{+}$ 농도를 증가시키거나, 혈관 내피세포의 제거, nitric oxide 생성 억제제인 L-NAME (N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester)의 투여, $Na^{+}$- $K^{+}$ pump 억제제인 Ouabain, $Na^{+}$-C $a^{2+}$ exchanger 억제제인 N $i^{2+}$의 투여 등 조건을 달리하며, 막전압고정법을 이용, $Ca^{2+}$ 변화와 여러 이온 전류 변화를 측정해 혈관의 수축성을 알아보았다. 결과: 세포외 $K^{+}$ 농도를 6에서 12 mM 증가시켜도 norepinephrine에 의한 혈관의 수축성에는 변화가 없었고, 12 mM 상으로 증가시키면 평활근이 수축하기 시작하였다. Acetylcholine (ACh)에 의해 유발된 내피세포 의존성 이완은 세포 외 $K^{+}$ 농도를 6에서 12 mM로 증가시키면 억제되었으며, 혈관내피세포를 제거하거나 L-NAME을 투여하는 경우에 ACh에 의한 이완은 일어나지 않았다. 배양한 쥐 대동맥 내피세포에서는 ATP혹은 ACh에 의해 세포 내 $Ca^{2+}$이 증가하였으며, 세포 내 $Ca^{2+}$ 증가가 정점에 이른 후 세포 외 $K^{+}$을 6에서 12 mM로 증가시키면 세포 내 $Ca^{2+}$이 농도 의존적으로 감소하였으나 다시 6 mM로 감소시키면 세포 내 $Ca^{2+}$이 증가하였다. 또한 세포 외 $K^{+}$ 증가에 의한 내피세포 의존성 이완효과는 Ouabain과 N $i^{2+}$에 의하여 억제되었다. 걸론 세포 외 $K^{+}$의 증가는 저항혈관 평활근은 이완시키며, 혈관내피세포 $Ca^{2+}$을 감소시켜 내피세포 의존성 이완을 억제하는데 이는 $Na^{+}$- $K^{+}$ pump와 $Na^{+}$-C $a^{2+}$exchanger를 활성화시켜 일어나는 것으로 생각된다.

본 논문에서는 폴리머/ 금속 다층 공정 기술 (polymer/metal multi layer processing techniques)을 이용한 실시간 혈압 감지를 위한 유연한 생체 삽입형 센서를 새로이 제안한다. 제안되는 방식의 센서는 기계적으로 유연하기 때문에 혈관의 외벽에 대한 침습성을 감소시켜 부착할 수 있다. 즉, 혈압 측정을 위해 센서를 혈관 내에 설치하던 기존의 방법들에 비해서 혈관 자체에 상처를 주지 않고 혈압의 상대적인 변화를 지속적으로 감지할 수 있다. 성인에게 발생하는 급사의 주된 원인은 협심증, 심근 경색과 같은 혈관 관련 질환이다. 플라크 (plaque)의 생성 등과 관계된 순환계 관련 질환들은 지속적인 혈압 감지를 통해서 예방할 수 있으며 발병 초기에 치료할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 혈압감지 방법의 과정은 다음과 같다. 우선, 집적된 센서를 혈관 외벽에 부착한다. 둘째, 실장된 센서가 혈관의 기계적인 수축과 확장을 인식한다. 마지막으로, 센서에 의해 인식된 혈압의 변화를 원격 감지 방법을 통해서 외부 안테나에서 감지하게 된다. 센서 시스템에는 어떠한 능동 소자도 존재하지 않기 때문에 에너지와 혈압 변화 정보는 LC 공진기와 외부 안테나 사이에 발생하는 상호 인덕턴스 원리에 의해서 전달되게 된다. 이러한 측정 원리의 가능성을 확인하기 위해서 실리콘 고무관과 혈액을 이용하여 시험관 실험 (In vitro test)을 진행하였다. 우선, 혈액으로 채운 실리콘 고무관에 센서를 감은 후 피스톤으로 압력을 가하였다. 그리고 이를 통해 가해진 압력 변화에 따른 공진 주파수의 변화를 측정하였다. 가해진 압력이 0부터 213.3 KPa까지 변화하는 동안 2.4 MHz의 공진 주파수가 변했다. 그러므로 생체 삽입형 혈압 센서의 감도는 11.25 KHz/KPa이다.

본 연구에서는 FCM 공법에서 교각과 캔틸레버 세그먼트의 임시고정을 위하여 주로 적용하고 있는 "내부 프리스트레싱 긴장재에 의한 임시 고정시스템(Stiching System)"에서 강봉의 응력특성을 분석하였다. 본 시스템에서 강봉은 교각과 PSC BOX를 내부에서 연결하여 인장 및 장착하므로 초기 긴장력의 변화 추이를 확인하기 어려웠다. 따라서, 강봉에 부착하여 강봉의 미세 길이변화를 측정할 수 있는 FBG센서를 활용하여 각 세그먼트 완료 전후에 계측 및 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 캔틸레버 세그먼트 완료까지 발생한 강봉의 최대 연직 수축량의 75% ~ 90%가 강봉의 정착 ~ 1세그먼트에서 발생되었고, 이때 도입 긴장력의 최대 손실은 39%로 나타났다. 이와 같은 강봉의 정착 ~ 1세그먼트 완료까지의 긴장력의 과대 손실은 강봉 정착 중 시공의 정밀도 향상과 1세그먼트의 완료 이후 캔틸레버 세그먼트의 전도에 대한 안정성 확보를 위하여 재 긴장이 필요함을 의미한다. 2 ~ 마지막 세그먼트에서는 강봉의 응력이 완만하게 감소하였고 하절기에는 주두부 콘크리트의 연직방향 체적 증가에 상응한 강봉의 길이 증가로 인하여 응력의 감소가 일부 회복되는 경향을 보여 2~마지막 세그먼트에서는 대기 온도에 따른 강봉의 길이변화가 응력변화의 지배적인 요인인 것으로 판단된다. 강봉의 길이변화와 달리 강봉의 릴랙세이션에 의한 응력이완은 1.2 ~ 2.7%로서 매우 작은 비율로 나타났고, 강봉의 온도응력에 상응하는 반대방향 응력(강봉의 상하부 고정, 강봉과 콘크리트의 열팽창계수가 상이한 영향으로 발생)으로 대부분 상쇄되었다. 따라서, 강봉 정착 시기 조절 등 강봉의 내부응력 향상을 위한 방안을 제시하였다.

This study was performed to investigate the cause, symptom, treatment, medicine of Wei symptom through the literature of oriental and western medicine. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Wei symptom is the symptom that reveals muscle relaxation without contraction and muscle relaxation occures in the lower limb or upper limb, in severe case, leads to death. 2. Since the pathology and etiology of Wei symptom was first described as "pe-yeol-yeop-cho"(肺熱葉焦) in Hung Ti Nei Ching(黃帝內經), for generations most doctors had have accepted it. but after Dan Ge(丹溪), it had been classified into seven causes, damp-heat(濕熱), phlegm-damp(濕痰), deficiency of qi(氣虛), deficiency of blood(血虛), deficiency of yin(陰處), stagnant blood(死血), stagnant food(食積). Chang Gyeng Ag(張景岳) added the cause of deficiency of source qi(元氣). 3. The concept of "To treat Yangming, most of all"(獨治陽明) was emphasized in the treatment of Wei symptom and contains nourishment of middle warmer energy(補益中氣), clearance of yangming-damp-heat(淸化陽明濕熱). 4. Since Nei-ching era(內經時代), Wei and Bi symptom(痺症) is differenciated according to the existence of pain. After Ming era(明代) appeared theory of co-existence of Wei symptom and pain or numbness but they were accepted as a sign of Wei symptom caused by the pathological factor phelgm(痰), damp(濕), stagnancy(瘀). 5. In the western medical point of view, Wei symptom is like paraplegia, or tetraplegia. and according to the causative disease, it is accompanied by dysesthesia, paresthsia, pain. thus it is more recommended to use hwal-hyel-hwa-ae(活血化瘀) method considering damp-heat(濕熱), qi deficiency of spleen and stornach(脾胃氣虛) as pathological basis than to simply differenciate Wei and Bi symptom according to the existence of pain. 6. The cause of Gullian-Barre syndrome(GBS) is consist of two factors, internal and external. Internal factors include asthenia of spleen and stomach, and of liver and kidney. External factors include summur-damp(暑濕), damp-heat(濕熱), cold-damp(寒濕) and on the basis of "classification and treatment according to the symptom of Zang-Fu"(臟腑辨證論治), the cause of GBS is classified into injury of body fluid by lung heat(肺熱傷津), infiltration of damp-heat(濕熱浸淫), asthenia of spleen and kidney(脾腎兩虛), asthenia of spleen and stomach(脾胃虛弱), asthenia of liver and kidney (肝腎兩虛). 7. The cause of GBS is divided by according to the disease developing stage: Early stage include dryness-heat(燥熱), damp(濕邪), phlegm(痰濁), stagnant blood(瘀血), and major treatment is reducing of excess(瀉實). Late stage include deficiency of essence(精虛), deficiency with excess(虛中挾實), and essencial deficiency of liver and kidney(肝腎精不足) is major point of treatment. 8. Following is the herbal medicine of GBS according to the stage. In case of summur-damp(暑濕), chung-seu-iki-tang(淸暑益氣湯) is used which helps cooling and drainage of summer-damp(淸利暑濕), reinforcement of qi and passage of collateral channels(補氣通絡). In case of damp-heat, used kun-bo-hwan(健步丸), In case of cool-damp(寒濕), used 'Mahwang-buja-sesin-tang with sam-chul-tang'(麻黃附子細辛湯合蓼朮湯). In case of asthenia of spleen and kidney, used 'Sam-lyeng-baik-chul san'(蔘笭白朮散), In case of asthenia of liver and kidney, used 'Hojam-hwan'(虎潛丸). 9. Following is the herbal medicine of GBS according to the "classification and treatment according to the symptom of Zang-Fu"(臟腑辨證論治). In the case of injury of body fluid by lung heat(肺熱傷津), 'Chung-jo-gu-pae-tang'(淸燥救肺湯) is used. In case of 'infiltration of damp-heat'(濕熱浸淫), us-ed 'Yi-myo-hwan'(二妙丸), In case of 'infiltration of cool-damp'(寒濕浸淫), us-ed 'Yui-lyung-tang', In case of asthenia of spleen, used 'Sam-lyung-bak-chul-san'. In case of yin-deficiency of liver and kidney(肝腎陰虛), used 'Ji-bak-ji-hwang-hwan'(知柏地黃丸), or 'Ho-jam-hwan'(虎潛丸). 10. Cervical spondylosis with myelopathy is occuered by compression or ischemia of spinal cord. 11. The cause of cervical spondylosis with myelopathy consist of 'flow disturbance of the channel points of tai-yang'(太陽經兪不利), 'stagnancy of cool-damp'(寒濕凝聚), 'congestion of phlegm-damp stagnant substances'(痰濕膠阻), 'impairment of liver and kidney'(肝腎虛損). 12. In treatment of cervical spondylosis with myelopathy, are used 'Ge-ji-ga-gal-geun-tang-gagam'(桂枝加葛根湯加減), 'So-hwal-lack-dan-hap-do-hong-eum-gagam(小活絡丹合桃紅飮加減), 'Sin-tong-chuck-ue-tang-gagam(身痛逐瘀湯加減), 'Do-dam-tang-hap-sa-mul-tang-gagam'(導痰湯合四物湯加減), 'Ik-sin-yang-hyel-guen-bo-tang'(益腎養血健步湯加減), 'Nok-gakyo-hwan-gagam'(鹿角膠丸加減). 13. The cause of muscle dystropy is related with 'the impairement of vital qi'(元氣損傷), and 'impairement of five Zang organ'(五臟敗傷). Symptoms and signs are classified into asthenia of spleen and stomach, deficiency with excess, 'deficiency of liver and kidney'(肝腎不足) infiltration of damp-heat, 'deficiency of qi and blood'(氣血兩虛), 'yang deficiency of spleen and kidney'(脾腎陽虛). 14. 'Bo-jung-ik-gi-tang'(補中益氣湯), 'Gum-gang-hwan'(金剛丸), 'Yi-gong-san-hap-sam-myo-hwan'(異功散合三妙丸), 'Ja-hyel-yang-gun-tang'(滋血養筋湯), 'Ho-jam-hwan'(虎潛丸) are used for muscle dystropy. 15. The causes of myasthenia gravis are classified into 'insufficiency of middle warmer energy'(中氣不足), 'deficiency of qi and yin of spleen and kidney'(脾腎兩處), 'asthenia of qi of spleen'(脾氣虛弱), 'deficiency of qi and blood'(氣血兩虛), 'yang deficiency of spleen and kidney'(脾腎陽虛). 16.

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.

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.

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.
