  • 신라는 문무왕 18년(678) 당나라군이 철수함에 따라 명실공히 한반도를 통일한 뒤, 그 판도를 중국 지방행정구획 제도를 모방하여 아홉 개의 주로 구분하고, 거기에 소경 군 현을 배치한 지방행정 조직을 정비하였다. 이른바 9주5소경(九州五小京)이라 불리는 지방행정제도이다. 주는 현재의 대한민국(이하 한국)의 도(道)에 해당하며, 소경은 광역시에 해당하는 것이다. 그 수는 "삼국사기" 신라본기 경덕왕 16년(757) 겨울 12월조에 의하면 5소경, 117군, 293현에 이른다 통일신라시대의 지방도시인 9주5소경(九州五小京)의 연구는 문헌사학 중심으로 이루어져, 주성(州城)과 소경성(小京城)의 위치와 그 도시구조에 대해서는 지금껏 크게 논의되었던 적이 없어 명확치 않은 점이 많다. 고고학적 도시구조의 복원연구는 박태우의 논고("통일신라시대의 지방도시에 대한 연구" 1987년)와 필자의 논고("新の九州五小京城郭の構造と實態について-統一新による計畵都市の復元硏究-"2009년) 정도이다. 강원도 강릉시는 원래 예(濊)의 고국(古國)으로 고구려의 하서량(河西良)이었다. "삼국사기(三國史記)"에 따르면 선덕왕 8년(639)에 북소경 하서양주(北小京; 河西良州))으로 되었는데, 무열왕 5년(658)에 하서주(河西州)로 소경에서 주로 바뀌었다. 이후 경덕왕 16년(757)에는 명주로 개칭되었고 그 뒤, 고려시대 이후로도 명칭은 여러 가지로 변하였다. 박태우는 나성 흔적이 남은 도시로 분류하여 명주동에 있었던 성지로 비정하고 있는데, 현재는 시가지화로 인하여 확인할 수가 없다고 한다. 또한 관동대학교에서는 강릉시 중심부로부터 서남서 약 3km에 위치하는 명주산성을 주치(州治)로 보는 설을 제시하고 있다. 필자는 일제시대의 측량도에서 볼 수 있는 유존(遺存) 토지구획로 보아 경주시의 신라금경이나 다른 많은 도시와 같이 방격의 가구, 즉 방리(坊里)를 갖춘 도시로 복원하였다. 다음은 그 구조에 대해 서술하였다. 강릉의 시가지는 시내를 남서에서 북동으로 흐르는 남대천의 왼쪽 기슭 평탄지에 위치하고 있다. 부근에 그다지 높은 산은 없으나 시가지의 북측에는 산이 동서로 이어져 있으며, 남대천으로부터의 평지부분 너비는 최대가 1km 정도로 그다지 넓지는 않다. 현재는 강릉시의 중심부로 시가지화가 진행되어 강릉역을 중심으로 한 방사상의 구획정리 등도 이루어져 옛 토지구획이 거의 소멸된 상태이다. 그러나 일제시대의 지형도 등을 보면 시가지 중심부인 옥천동, 임당동, 금학동, 명주동 등의 일대에 한 변 약 190m를 기본으로 하는 방격의 토지구획이 북서-남동에 약 0. 8km, 북동-남서에 약 1. 7km의 범위로 잔존하고 있는 것이 확인 가능하다. 방격의 유존 토지구획은 다른 9주5소경(九州五小京)의 사례를 통해 보면 통일신라에 의한 것일 가능성이 높은 것으로 생각된다. 단, 방격 한 변의 길이가 190m로 신라의 금경이나 다른 도시유적에서 볼 수 있는 한 변 160m나 140m의 규격과는 다르다는 점이 앞으로의 검토과제이다. 토지구획의 방위는 지형에 준하여 북서-남동 축에서 북쪽으로부터 약 $37.5^{\circ}$ 서쪽으로 기울어져 있다. 이는 남대천의 방위와 북측의 산지에 제약을 받았기 때문이라고 보여 진다. 방격의 유존 토지구획이 잔존하는 범위로부터, 최소로 보더라도 북서-남동 4방${\times}$북동-남서 7방 크기라는 장방형으로 복원하였다. 단, 방격의 유존 토지구획이 퍼지는 정도로 보아, 남서측과 북서측에 각각 1방 씩 늘어난 북서-남동 5방${\times}$북동-남서 8방(북서-남동 약 $950m{\times}$북동-남서 약 1520m)이었을 가능성도 있다. 전체의 형상은 장방형으로, 당의 장안성(長安城)이나 일본의 평성경(平城城)과 같은 중축대로(주작대로)가 상정 가능한 토지구획은 확인되지 않는다. 명주의 도시유적에 대한 고고학적 조사는 이제껏 이루어지지 않았으나, 도시유적 추정지 내부에 위치하는 조선시대의 강릉읍성이나 관아지의 발굴조사에서 출토된 기와류, 토기류 중에는 통일신라시대로 거슬러 올라갈만한 것이 있다고 필자는 생각한다. 또한, 관아지에서 검출된 조선시대의 건물지는 모두 정방위가 아닌 크게 기울어진 방위를 나타내고 있다. 이것은 강릉에서 볼 수 있는 방격 유존 토지구획이 예전부터 존재하고 있었던 사실을 보여주는 방증이라고 볼 수 있다. 또한 "명주성"의 명문 막새기와가 출토된 명주산성의 역할로, 이것이 주치였던 것을 필자는 부정하지 않는다. 한국의 고대도성은 평지성과 산성의 세트로 구성되어 있으며, 통일신라가 되어도 방리제 도성인 금경 주위로 명활산성, 남산산성, 서형산성의 산성군이 계속되어 유지되고 있었다. 구주오소경 이외의 다른 도시에서도 도시유적 부근에 산성이 분포되어 있는 것으로 보아, 명주도 평지의 도시와 산성이 세트가 되어 주치로서의 기능을 하고 있었던 것으로 사료된다.

  • 이 연구는 특수건강진단기관의 소음성 난청 진단결과의 유소견자$(D_1)$와 요관찰자(C)를 하나의 평가 지표로 설정하여, 첫째 소음 특수건강진단 결과 소음성 난청의 실태 파악, 둘째 소음성 난청 요관찰 자의 청력장애 평가, 셋째 정력장애 정도 에 따른 각 주파수 영역별 기도순음청력 검사 결과를 통해 청력손실의 정도를 파악하고 이의 판정기준에 따른 진단의 적정성을 검토하고자 하였다. 1. 1994년 l월부터 12월까지의 73개 특수건강진단기관의 특수건강진단 실시 사업장은 27,347개이며 이중 소음 특수 건강진단 설시 사업장은 16,388개(59.9%)이었으며, 전체 특수건강진단 수진 근로자는 731,029명이며 이중 소음 특수 건강진단 수진 근로자는 343,457명 (47.0%)이었다. 소음성 난청 요관찰자는 38,058명, 소음성 난청 유소견자는 1,358 명으로 소음성 난청 요관찰률은 11.1%, 유소견율은 0.44%이었다. 지역에 따라 소음성 난청 요관찰률의 차이를 보여주며 판정기준의 적용에 따른 기도순음 청력평균손실치가 일부 적정하게 판단되지 못하였음을 보여 주었다. 2. ISO 기준의 3분법에 의한 청력 평가시 97%가 경도난청 이하였으며, 회화음 역에서의 4분법에 비해 거의 비슷하였으나 약간 정상역이 많았고, 고음역을 포함하여 평가하는 4분법과 6분법의 적용시 정상자의 경도난청으로의 가능성이 높다고 볼 수 있어 청력평가시 평가방법의 적용에 따라 내재적인 판별능의 차이를 보여준다고 볼 수 있다. 3. 우측귀의 청력역치를 ISO 기준에 의해 평가한 후 양귀의 청력역치의 분포 및 차이를 보면, 우측귀의 평균역치(표준편차)가 20.54(9.56) dB, 좌측귀의 평균역치가 20.54(9.57) dB로 좌측귀의 평균역치가 우측보다 높았다. 양귀의 청력이 75.4%에서 정상역이었으며, 21,562명 (90.6%)의 양귀 청력역치 차이의 범위가 10dB이내였다. 4. 소음성 난청 요관찰자의 회화음역에 속하는 500, 1,000 및 2,000 Hz에서의 기도청력역치를 산술평균으로 하여 구하는 3분법의 청력손실도(표준편차)를 주파수 별로 보면, 우측귀에서 500 Hz 21.08(10.23), 1,000 Hz 18.44(10.01), 2,000 Hz 22.09(13.46), 4,000 Hz 52.36(16.38) dB이었다. 평균청력손실도를 10 dB 간격으로 구분한 후 각각의 주파수별 청력역치를 살펴보면, 정상역인 20 dB미만에서 고음역인 4,000 Hz에서 회화음역인 500, 1,000 및 2,000 Hz에서 보다 평균 30-40 dB 이상의 역치를 보이는 $C_5-dip$ 현상을 특징적으로 보였다. 평균정력손질이 증가함에 따라 4,000 Hz에서의 역치 증가 현상이 점차적으로 감소하다 평균청력손실이 50 dB 이상에서는 10dB 내외의 차이만을 나타내었다. 이상과 같이 소음성 난청 요관찰자에 대한 분석에서 소음성 난청의 평가방법 에 따른 실태와 의미, 소음에 의한 조기청력손실의 특정과 소음성 난청의 판정기준에 따른 진단의 적정성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 소음성 난청 요관찰자에 대한 관리의 필요성을 제언할 수 있겠다.

  • This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of service by maternity aids concerning maternal and child health in improving simultaneously infant mortality, contraception and vital registration among expectant mothers in rural Korea, where there is less apportunity for maternal and child health care. It is unrealistic to expect to solve this problem in rural Korea through professional persons considering the situation of medical facilities and the socioeconomic condition of residents. So, we intended to adopt a system of services by maternity aids who were educated formally among indigenous women. After the women were trained in maternal and child health, contraception, and registration for a short period, they were assigned as a maternity aids to each village to help with various activities concerning maternal and child health, for example, registration of pregnant women, home visiting to check for complications, supplying of delivery kits, attendance at delivery, persuasion of contraception, and invitation for registration and so on. Mean-while, four researchers called on the maternity aids to collect materials concerning vital events, maternal child health, contraception and registration, and to give further instruction and supervision as the program proceeded. A. Changes of women's attitude by services of maternity aid. Now, we examined to what extent' such a service system to expectant mothers affected a change in attitude of women residing in the study area as compared to women of the control area. 1) In the birth and death places, there were no changes between last and present infants, in study or control area. 2) In regard to attendants at delivery, there were no changes except for a small percentage of attendance (8%) by maternity aid in study area. But, I expect that more maternity sids could be used as attendants at delivery if they would be trained further and if there was more explanation to the residents about such a service. 3) Considering the rate of utilization of sterilized delivery kit, I am sure that more than 90 percent would be used if the delivery kit were supplied in the proper time. There were significant differences in rates between the study and the control areas. 4) Taking into consideration the utilization rate of the clinic for prenatal care and well baby care, if suck facilities were installed, it would probably be well utilized. 5) In the contraception, the rate of approval was as high as 89 percent in study area as compared to 82 percent in the control area. 6) Considering the rate of pre-and post-partum acceptance on contraception were as much as 70 percent or more, if motivation to use contraception was given to them adequately, the government could reach the goals for family planning as planned. 7) In the vital registration, the rate of birth registration in the study area was some what improved compared to that of the control area, while the rate of death registration was not changed at all. Taking into account the fact that the rate of confirmation of vital events by maternity aids was remarkably high, if the registration system changed to a 'notification' system instead of formal registration ststem, it would be improved significantly compared to present system. B. Effect of the project Thus, with changes in the residents' attitude, was there a reduction in the infant death rate? 1) It is very difficult problem to compare the mortality of infants between last and present infants, because many women don't want to answer accurately about their dead children especially the infants that died within a few days after birth. In this study the data of present death comes from the maternity aides who followed up every pregnancy they had recorded to see what had happened. They seem to have very reliable information on what happened in first few weeks with follow up visitits to check out later changes. From these calculaton, when we compared the rate of infant death between last and present infant, there was remarkable reduction of death rate for present infant compare to that of last children, namely, the former was 30, while the latter 42. The figure is the lowest rate that I have ever heard. As the quality of data we could assess by comparing the causes of death. In the current death rate by communicable disease was much lower compare to the last child especially, tetanus cases and pneumonia. 2) Next, how many respondents used contraception after birth because of frequent contact with the maternity aid. In the registered cases, the respondents showed a tendency to practice contraception at an earlier age and with a small number of children. In a comparison of the rate of contraception between the study and the control area, the rate in the former was significantly higher than that of the latter. What is more, the proportion favoring smaller numbers of children and younger women rose in the study area as compared to the control area. 3) Regarding vital registration, though the rate of registration was gradually improved by efforts of maternity aid, it would be better to change the registration system. 4) In the crude birth rate, the rate in the study area was 22.2 while in the control area was 26.5. Natural increase rate showed 15.4 in the study area, while control area was 19.1. 5) In assessment of the efficiency of the maternity aids judging by the cost-effect viewpoint, the workers in the Medium area seemed to be more efficiency than those of other areas.

  • 우리나라에 유통업체상표(Private Label)가 도입된 지 10년이 넘었음에도 불구하고 유통업체 상표에 대한 대부분의 연구는 소비자 관점에서 진행되어져 왔다. 본 연구는 유통업체상표를 소비자 관점이 아닌 제조업체의 관점에서 바라본 연구로, 제조업체의 유통업체상표 생산에 영향을 미치는 내외부적 요인들에 대해서 자원기반이론과 S-C-P Paradigm의 통합적인 연구모형인 전략적 시장관리 관점을 제시하였다. 연구결과를 보면, 제조업체의 마케팅 역량이 높을수록 전체 매출에서 유통업체상표가 차지하는 매출이 적은 것으로 나타났으며, 마케팅 역량에는 제조업체 브랜드명성, 마케팅 투자, 제품포트폴리오 등이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 제조업체의 마케팅 역량과 유통업체 상표 생산 간의 관계에는 제조업체의 경쟁강도가 조절효과를 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 일반적으로 마케팅 역량이 높은(낮은) 기업일수록 전체 매출에서 유통업체상표가 차지하는 비율이 낮지만(높지만), 이러한 기업들 중 경쟁강도를 낮게 지각하는 제조업체의 전체매출 중 유통업체상표가 차지하는 매출은 경쟁강도를 높게 지각하는 제조업체들에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로, 본 연구는 유통업체상표 생산에 대한 이론 및 실무적인 시사점을 제시하고 있다.

  • 목적 : 붕소-중성자 포획치료법(Boron Neutron Capture Therapy, BNCT)을 위해 원자력병원 싸이클로트론에서 발생되는 최대에너지 34.4 MeV의 속중성자(Fast neutron)를 70 cm 파라핀으로 감속시킨 후 선량 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과를 토대로 열외중성자(Epithermal neutron) 선량 측정법에 대한 프로토콜을 확립하여 원자로에서 방출되는 열외 중성자 선량 특성 평가의 기초를 삼고, 가속기를 이용한 BNCT 연구에 대한 타당성 여부를 조사하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 공기 중 선량 및 물질 내 선량 분포 측정을 위해 Unidos 10005 (PTW, Germany) 전기계와 조직 등가 물질인 A-150 플라스틱으로 제작된 IC-17 (Far West, USA) 및 IC-18, ElC-1 이온함을 사용하였고, 감마선의 측정을 위해서는 마그네슘으로 제작된 IC-l7M 이온함을 이용하였으며 조직등가 기체와 아르곤 기체를 분당 5cc 씩 주입하며 측정하였다. 중성자, 광자, 전자가 혼합된 장의 모의 수송 해석을 위해 이용되는 Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) transport code를 사용하여 2차원적 선량 분포 및 에너지 분포를 계산하였으며 이 결과를 측정값과 비교하였다. 결과 : BNCT에서의 유효 치료 깊이인 물 팬텀 4 cm에서의 선량은 치료기 1 MU 당 $6.47\times10^{-3}\;cGy$로 미세하였으며, 이때 감마 오염도(contamination)는 $65.2{\pm}0.9\%$로 중성자보다는 감마선에 의한 선량 기여분이 우세하였다. 깊이에 따른 선량 분포 특성에서는 중성자 선량은 선형적으로 감쇠 되었고, 감마선량은 지수적으로 보다 급격히 감쇠되는 경향을 보였으며 전체 선량의 $D_{20}/D_{10}$은 0.718 이었다. MCNP에 의한 에너지 분포 전산 계산의 결과 2.87 MeV 이하에서 중성자 피크가 나타났으며, 저에너지 영역에서는 감마선이 연속적으로 분포되는 양상을 보였다. 결론 : 벽 물질이 서로 다른 두 개의 이온함을 사용한 직접 선량 측정과 MCNP 전산 시뮬레이션을 이용한 공간 선량분포 계산으로 미세 속중성자 빔에 대한 선량 특성을 파악할 수 있었으며, 원자로 열외중성자 주(Epithermal neutron column)에 대한 선량 평가 자료로 확보하였다. 아울러 가속기에 대한 연구가 진행되어 고전압, 고전류를 발생시키는 전원 공급장치와 표적핵(Target) 물질이 개발되고 비스무스나 납 등에 의해 감마 오염도를 줄일 경우, 싸이크로트론에 의한 보론-중성자 포획치료도 가능해질 것으로 판단된다.

  • 치과 X선 검사 시 환자선량의 권고량 가이드라인을 개발하기 위해서 우선 국내 치과방사 선의 현황 및 이용 실태를 설문조사하여 비교분석하였다. 응답을 받은 77곳의 치과병 의원 중에서 치과대학이 있는 치과대학병원을 A그룹(11곳), 치과대학이 없는 대학병원을 포함한 치과병원을 B그룹(30곳), 치과의원을 C그룹(36곳)으로 분류하였다. 그룹별로 분석한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 치과병 의원 한 곳당 평균 unit chairs수는 A그룹 140.2개, B그룹 15.3개, C그룹 5.8개, 평균치과의사수는 A그룹 112.6명, B그룹 7.3명, C그룹 1.7명, 평균방사선사수는 A그룹 3.1명, B그룹 0.5명, C그룹에는 한 명도 없었고, 평균치과위생사수는 A그룹 19.7명, B그룹 12.5명, C그룹 3.3명이었다. 설치된 치과용 X선장치의 평균보유수는 A그룹 14.64대, B그룹 3.21대, C그룹 2.19대로 나타났다. 이 중에서 구내촬영장치가 가장 많았고, 다음은 파노라마 장치, 세팔로 장치, CBCT 장치 순이었으며, 장치시스템의 비율은 세 그룹 모두 DR 시스템이 50% 이상으로 가장 많았다. 필름 시스템인 경우, 사용된 구내필름은 감광도가 높은 Insight 필름(Kodak, USA)이 대부분이었으며, 자동 현상기는 사용하는 곳이 적었으나, 필름유지기구는 사용하는 곳이 약간 많았다. PACS 이용률은 A그룹 90.9%, B그룹 83.3%, C그룹 16.7%이었고, 프로그램은 국내의 Infinitt에서 개발된 PiView STAR가 가장 많이 이용되고 있었다. 치과병 의원 한 곳당 2008년도의 연간 평균촬영건수는 A그룹이 B그룹보다 6.8배, C그룹보다 21.2배 더 많았으며, 구내 치근단 촬영과 파노라마 촬영이 대부분이었다. 구내 치근단 촬영 시 관전압과 관전류는 세 그룹 모두 비슷하였으나, 노출시간은 C그룹이 A그룹의 12배, B 그룹의 3.5배 정도 길었다. 즉, 대부분 치과위생사가 촬영하고 있는 C그룹에서는 방사선 노출량이 다른 그룹에 비해 훨씬 많았다. 그러나 파노라마촬영 시의 조건은 세 그룹에서 큰 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로, 촬영조건은 경험적 지식을 따르기보다는 권장량을 사용해야 하며, 필름시스템에서는 자동현상기와 필름유지기구를 사용하여 방사선의 노출량을 줄여준다. 또한 환자선량의 감소와 X선 영상의 질 향상을위해서 X선발생장치 및 관련기기의 체계적인 정도관리가 반드시 필요하다.

  • 본 연구는 자신의 외모나 체형에 많은 관심을 갖게 되는 여대생들을 대상으로 체질량지수에 따른 식생활, 식습관, 생활양식, 식생활의 질, 식품 기호도, 체중에 대한 만족도와 신체상, 이상 식이 행동의 정도 및 영양소 섭취량을 종합적으로 파악하여, 성인기 초기 여성의 바람직한 식습관과 생활습관 및 영양 관리를 통해 정상 체중과 건강 유지에 기여하고자 시도되었다. 1. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 신장은 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 체중(p<0.001), 체질량지수(p<0.001), 체지방 비율(p<0.001), 체지방 함량(p<0.001), 제지방 함량(p<0.001) 및 체수분량(p<0.001)은 비만도에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 2. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 운동 시간은 유의한 차이를 보여(p<0.01), 저체중군과 정상 체중군은 운동을 하지 않는 경우가 가장 많았고 과체중군은 30분~1시간 운동하는 경우가 가장 많았다. 그러나, 여대생의 평균 연령, 경제 상태, 흡연율, 음주 빈도, 운동 빈도, 건강, 우울, 스트레스는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 하루 식사 회수, 결식 끼니, 과식 끼니 및 간식 횟수는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았고, 수면 시간, 월경의 규칙성 및 건강 상태도 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 4. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 간이 식생활 진단 점수는 유의한 차이를 보여, 정상 체중군과 과체중군이 저체중군에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 5. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 단맛과 짠맛은 유의한 차이를 보여, 단맛(p<0.05)과 짠맛(p<0.01)에 대한 기호도는 저체중군이 과체중보다 유의하게 높았다. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 육류, 콩류 및 간식류에 대한 기호도는 유의한 차이를 보여, 육류에 대한 기호도는 저체중군이 정상 체중군과 과체중군에 비해 유의하게 높았고(p<0.05), 콩류에 대한 기호도는 정상 체중군과 과체중군이 저체중군에 비해 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.05), 간식류에 대한 기호도는 저체중군과 정상 체중군이 과체중군에 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 6. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 체중에 대한 만족도와 자신의 체형에 대한 인식은 유의한 차이를 보였다(각각 p<0.0001). 원하는 체중(p<0.0001)과 체중 조절의 경험(p<0.0001)도 비만도에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 7. 여대생의 섭식 장애 발생율은 11.3%이었다. 비만도에 따라 EAT-26의 평균 점수는 유의한 차이가 있어(p<0.001), 과체중군이 저체중군과 정상 체중군에 비해 유의하게 높았다. 8. 비만도에 따라 여대생의 영양소 섭취량은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 9. 체질량 지수와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타낸 신체 계측치는 체중, 체지방 비율, 체지방 함량, 제지방 함량 및 체수분량이었다. 체질량지수와 유의한 상관관계를 보인 변수는 용돈(p<0.01), 간식 빈도(p<0.001), 운동 지속 시간(p<0.001), 간이 식생활 진단 점수(p<0.05), 단맛(p<0.01), 짠맛(p<0.01), 간식(p<0.001) 및 인스턴트 음식(p<0.05)에 대한 기호도, 체중에 대한 만족도(p<0.001), 자신의 체형에 대한 인식(p<0.001), 체중 조절 경험(p<0.001), 탄수화물 섭취(p<0.05), 섭식 장애 점수(p<0.001) 및 요인 I(정체성 요인) 점수(p<0.001)이었다. 결론적으로, 비만도에 따라 체중, 체질량지수, 체지방 비율, 체지방 함량, 제지방 함량 및 체수분량은 유의한 차이가 있었다. 과체중군이 운동 시간이 많았고, 저체중군의 식생활의 질이 낮으며 짠맛, 단맛, 육류 및 간식에 대한 기호도가 높았다. 비만도가 높아질수록 체중에 대한 만족도가 낮았고 체형을 제대로 인식하였고 체중 조절 경험이 많았으며 섭식장애 점수가 높았다. 따라서 실제 과체중인 여대생은 자신의 체중에 대한 만족도가 낮아 이상 식이 태도를 보이는 것으로 나타났으므로 섭식문제를 해결하기 위한 다양한 프로그램의 개발과 함께 올바른 식습관과 운동 및 행동 수정 요법으로 체중을 조절하고 유지할 수 있도록 하여 섭식 문제와 체중 조절의 역작용을 예방하도록 하는 것이 필요하다고 생각된다. 저체중이거나 정상 체중임에도 체형에 대한 만족도가 낮아 올바른 신체상 정립의 문제로 체중을 감량하려는 여대생에게는 저체중의 문제점과 올바른 신체상 정립, 정상 체중에 대한 적극적인 교육을 통해 자신의 신체상과 적정 체중에 대한 올바른 인식을 가지고 불필요하게 체중을 감소시켜 건강을 해치는 일이 없도록 해야 할 것이다. 또한 섭취량이 낮은 영양소 특히 칼슘과 엽산 섭취를 증가시키는 방안에 대한 영양교육은 모든 여대생에게 필요하며, 정상 체중과 건강 유지를 위한 바람직한 식생활을 정립할 수 있도록 영양교육을 해야 할 것이다. 그러므로, 본 연구는 여대생의 잘못된 체형 인식, 식습관, 기호도, 생활습관 및 섭식 장애로 인한 건강문제를 올바로 인지하여 여대생에게 올바른 체중 조절 태도, 건강 관련 식습관 및 생활 습관을 사전 교육하게 하고 섭식 장애 문제를 예방하는 프로그램 개발의 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • 최근 IT 기술과 데이터의 범람으로 생활 전반적인 부분의 패러다임이 전환되고 있다. 이러한 기술의 발전과 변화는 학술영역에도 영향을 미치고 있다. 학문적 교류와 연계를 통해 연구주제나 연구 방법의 개선이 이루어지고 있다. 특히, 데이터 기반의 연구 방법이 다양한 학문분야에서 진행되고 있으며 조경학에서도 지속적인 연구가 필요한 시점이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 시대적 상황을 반영하여 인공지능의 한 분야인 머신러닝을 활용한 경관 선호 평가 및 예측모델의 개발 가능성을 알아보는 것을 목표로 한다. 본 연구의 목표를 달성하기 위하여 경관 분야에 머신러닝 기법을 적용하여 경관 선호 평가 및 예측 모델을 구축하고, 구축된 모형의 모의정도를 검증하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 최근 신재생에너지 사업으로 주목받는 풍력발전시설 경관 이미지를 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 분석을 위하여 풍력발전시설 경관 이미지를 웹크롤링 기법을 활용하여 수집하고 분석 테이터셋을 구축하였다. 우수한 성능의 예측모델 도출을 위하여 머신러닝 분석에 활용되는 University of Ljubljana의 프로그램인 오렌지 버전 3.33을 활용하였다. 또, 머신러닝 학습데이터의 평가기준을 통합한 모델과 평가기준 별도 모델 구조를 활용하였으며, 머신러닝 분류모델에 적합한 kNN. SVM, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Neural Network 알고리즘을 사용해 모델을 생성하였다. 생성된 모델을 성능 평가를 실시하여 본 연구에 가장 적합한 예측모델을 도출하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 예측모델은 경관의 유형에 따른 분류, 경관과 대상의 시거리에 따른 분류, 선호에 따른 분류 등 3가지 평가기준을 별도로 평가 후 종합해 예측하여 결과를 도출하였다. 연구 결과 경관 유형에 따른 평가 기준 정확도 0.986, 시거리에 따른 평가 기준 정확도 0.973, 선호에 따른 평가 기준 정확도 0.952에 달하는 높은 정확도를 가진 예측모델을 개발하였으며, 평가데이터 예측 결과를 통한 검증과정을 보아도 모델의 성능 치를 상회하는 성과를 도출했음을 알 수 있다. 경관 관련 연구에서 머신러닝을 활용한 예측모델 개발 가능성을 알아본 실험적 시도로 이미지 데이터의 수집 및 정제를 통해 데이터 세트를 구축하여 높은 성능의 예측모델이 생성 가능하며, 이후 경관 관련 연구 분야에 활용될 수 있다는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과와 시사점, 한계점을 반영한다면 풍력발전시설의 경관뿐만 아니라 자연경관이나 문화경관 등 다양한 형태의 경관 예측모델 개발이 가능할 것으로 생각되며, 경관 유형에 따라 이미지를 분류하는 모델의 연구를 통해 데이터 분류의 시간을 단축하거나 머신러닝을 활용한 경관예측 인자분석을 통해 경관계획 요소의 중요도 분석 등의 주제에 맞는 연구 방법을 탐색하고 적용하여 후속 연구를 진행한다면 조경학 분야에서도 머신러닝 기법을 보다 유용하고 가치 있게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • 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.

  • 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. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.
