농업환경지표가 OECD 회원국간의 농업환경 비교와 이를 통한 농업환경 개선과 농업정책 수립에 대한 권고의 수단으로만 작용을 하지만 이것이 향후 통상 무역과 연계될 것은 추측 가능한 사실이다. OECD 농업환경지표를 우리나라에 그대로 적용했을 때 얻어진 지표 값이 우리나라의 농업환경을 사실대로 반영하지 못한다면 우리가 받을 피해는 미래에도 작용할 것이므로 이에 대한 새로운 제안을 통해 우리나라에 적합한 지표를 설정해야 한다. OECD에 의해 제안된 농업용수 사용 강도 지표는 논이나 밭에서 이용되거나 배수 유출되는 물의 특성을 모두 반영한 방법이 아니므로 몬순 기후지대에 속하는 한국에 적당하지 않다. 특히, 여름철 집중호우시기에 년 강우량의 2/3가 내리는 강우 특성은 이를 담수해 저장하는 능력을 가진 농경지의 수자원 보유능과 기타의 농업적 특성을 고려한 계산방법으로 농업용수를 산정해야 한다. 논의 경우 강우가 내리거나 관개가 되었을 때 담수나 침투를 통해 물을 지하로 배수해 지하수를 형성하거나 지표의 배수로나 하천을 통해 강이나 저수지로 상당량의 물을 흘려보내 다시 이용할 수 있도록 해준다. 즉, 농업용수로 계산되어 있는 물의 상당량은 다른 농경지나 생활용수 또는 공업용수나 하천 유지용수로 다시 이용된다. 따라서, 물 사용강도에 이용되는 농업용수는 농경지에서 소모되지 않고 지하수로 흘러 들어가거나 하천으로 유입되는 배출수를 고려하여 계산하는 것이 합리적이다. 이렇게 계산하면 22.9%(2001년)로 OECD 계산방법으로 얻어진 47%보다 24.1%가 낮아진다. 합리적인 농업용수 스트레스 지표를 산출하기 위해서는 각 나라마다 다른 나라와 강을 공유하고 있는지의 여부와 농업을 위한 주 취수원이 무엇인지를 살펴보아 그 나라에 적합한 스트레스 지표를 산출하도록 유도하는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 그러나, 실제 물에 대한 스트레스는 강우량, 수계별 수자원 부존량, 사용가능량, 농업용수 총공급수량, 환경 유지용수를 위한 기준 갈수량 확보 가능성, 농업용수 관리현황 및 저수율 분석, 수계별 농업용수 사용 가능량 및 기상 등이 복잡하게 작용할 것이므로 이 모든 인자들을 포함한 지표를 만들기는 쉬운 일이 아니다. 따라서, 우리나라는 OECD의 스트레스 지표와는 달리 환경 위해성 판단이 필요 없고, 계산이 복잡하지 않으며 우리의 환경에 적합하도록 주 취수원인 농업용 저수지의 저수율로 농업용수 스트레스 지표를 산정 했다. 농업용수 사용 기술적 효율지표는 작물의 재배 생리특성 및 이용특성과 지역마다 차이가 나는 기후의 특성을 반영하지 않은 계산의 결과이다. 그러므로 이러한 특성들을 반영하는 기술적 물 이용효율 지표를 만들기 위해서는 각 지역 또는 나라마다 작물별로 기준이 되는 물 소요량을 산정한 후 그 소요량에 대한 공급된 양의 비율로 WUTE를 결정하는 것이 합리적이다. 지역별, 작물별 특성을 포함해야 하는 농업용수 사용 경제적 효율 지표는 소비된 물을 분모로 삼아 계산에 이용하는 대신에 농업용수 사용 기술적 효율에서 제안한 각 지역 또는 나라마다 작물별로 기준이 되는 물 소요량을 산정한 후 그 소요량에 대한 공급된 양의 비율을 계산식의 분모에 적용하고, 벼의 경우는 생산물의 가격 대신에 지하수가 되는 양과 하천수가 되는 양에 대한 경제적 평가에 더해 논에 많은 양의 물이 관개됨으로서 발생하는 수변 생태계에 의한 환경유지 기능과 온도와 습도가 높은 한국의 기후 특성에서 전체 에너지 밸런스를 유지하는데 기여하는 관개수의 가치에 대한 평가와 더불어 생산물의 가격을 포함하는 것이 합리적일 것이다.

배 경: 호흡부전의 치료에 있어 환자 체위를 prone position으로 하는 시도는 20년 전부터 보고되어 왔으며 폐산소화 및 심박출량 향상에 효과가 있다는 것이 알려져 있다. Prone position시 폐산소화의 호전은 임상 및 동물 실험에서 단락 감소에 의한 것으로 알려져 있으며 그 중요 기전은 supine position에 비해 prone position때 중력 의존부 폐의 늑막압이 더 작아 폐포 개방압이 줄어들기 때문인 바 저자 등은 prone position이 폐산소화에 미치는 효과는 supine position에서 사용한 PEEP의 폐포 고비 개방압과의 관계에 따라 달라질 것으로 추정하였다. Prone position에서의 심박출량 증가에 대하여는 양압환기시 발생하는 cardiac fossa lifting 현상이 prone position에 의해 완화될 수 있다는 주장이 제기된 바 있어 prone position이 또한 supine position에서 PEEP에 의해 초래된 심박출량 저하를 완화시킬 수 있는지를 잡종견 급성 폐손상 모델을 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 잡종견 7 마리 ($20.0{\pm}3.9$ kg)를 정맥 마취 후 기관내관을 삽관하고 인공호흡기를 Vt 15 ml/kg, f 20/min, I : E=1 : 3, pause 10%, PEEP 0 cm $H_2O$, $F_1O_2$ 1.0으로 설정하였다. 혈압, 분당맥박수, 폐동맥쐐기압, 심박출량 등의 측정과 동맥혈가스분석을 위해 서혜동맥과 폐동맥 천자술을 시행하였다. 대조기에 supine position 및 prone position 30분에 각각 호흡 지표 ($PaO_2/F_1O_2$[P/F], 총호흡기계탄성 [Cst]와 supine position, prone position 5분 및 prone position 30분에 혈류역학적 지표(평균동맥압, 분당 맥박수, 심박출량, 박출용적)을 측정하고 섭씨 38도의 생리식염수 (30~50 ml/kg)를 기관내관을 통하여 주입하여 급성 폐손상을 유도한 뒤 constant flow 법에 의해 inflection point(Pflex)를 측정하였다. 급성 폐손상에서의 supine position과 prone position실험은 Pflex보다 2 cm $H_2O$ 낮은 PEEP(Low PEEP)과 2 cm $H_2O$ 높은 PEEP (Optimal PEEP)에서 순차적으로 시행하고 각각 통일 시간대에 상기 지표들을 측정하였으며 Optimal PEEP 실험 마지막에 다시 supin position으로 체위를 바꾸고 5분 뒤 혈류역학적 지표들을 측정하였다. 결 과: 1. Prone position 시행시 Low PEEP 및 Optimal PEEP에서의 호흡 효과의 차이 Low PEEP하에서 P/F 비는 supine position에서 $195{\pm}112$ mm Hg, prone position 30분에서 $400{\pm}33$ mm Hg였고 (p<0.001) Optimal PEEP하에서 P/F 비는 supine position에서 $466{\pm}63$ mm Hg, prone position 30분에서 $499{\pm}63$ mm Hg였다 (p=0.016). Prone position에 의한 P/F 비 싱승량은 Low PEEP하에서 $205{\pm}90$ mm Hg로 Optimal PEEP($33{\pm}33$ mm Hg) 하에서 보다 유의하게 높았다(각각 p<0.05). 2. Prone position의 혈류역학적 효과 Low PEEP하에서 심박출량은 supine position($3.0{\pm}0.7$ L/min) 과 비교하여 prone position 5분 $3.3{\pm}0.7$ L/min(p=0.0180)로 증가하였고 prone position 30분 $3.7{\pm}0.8$ L/min(p=0.0630)로 차이가 없었다. 분당맥박수는 각각 $141{\pm}22\;min^{-1}$, $141{\pm}22\;min^{-1}$(p=0.8658) 및 $176{\pm}28\;min^{-1}$(p=0.0280)이었고 폐동맥쐐기압은 차이가 없었다. Optimal PEEP하에서 평균동맥압은 각각 $87{\pm}19$ mm Hg, $107{\pm}18$ mm Hg(p=0.0180) 및 $108{\pm}16$ mm Hg(p=0.0180), 심박출량은 각각 $2.4{\pm}0.5$ L/min, $3.3{\pm}0.6$ L/min(p=0.0180) 및 $3.6{\pm}0.7$ L/min(p=0.0180), 그리고 박출용적은 각각 $14{\pm}2$ml, $20{\pm}2$ ml(p=0.0180) 및 $21{\pm}2$ ml(p=0.0180)였다. 분당맥박수는 체위 변경에 따른 차이가 없었고 폐동맥쐐기압은 각각 $10.1{\pm}2.4$ mm Hg, $9.1{\pm}2.7$ mm Hg(p=0.0180) 및 $9.0{\pm}3.1$ mm Hg(p=0.0679) 이었다. Optimal PEEP하 prone position에서 다시 supine position으로 체위를 바꾸고 5분 후 평균동맥압은 $92{\pm}23$ mm Hg, 심박출량은 $2.4{\pm}0.5$ L/min, 그리고 박출용적은 $14{\pm}1$ ml로 모두 감소하였다(모두 p<0.05). 결 론 : 잡종견 급성폐손상 모델에서 prone position은 비교적 낮은 수준 PEEP의 폐산소화 호전 효과를 중대시켰고, 비교적 놓은 수준 PEEP에 의한 심박출량 저하를 완화시켰다. 이러한 결과들은 심박출량을 유지하면서 폐산소화를 호전시키고자 하는 ARDS 환자에서의 기계환기의 목표를 달성하는데 있어 prone position이 supine position보다 유리하다는 것을 시사한다.

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.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

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.

현재 플렉시블 폴리머를 이용한 MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) 기술이 빠르게 발전하고 있다. 그 중에서 Polycarbonate (PC), Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA)와 같은 플렉시블 폴리머 재료는 광학적 특성이 우수하고 인체 친화적이며 미세 패턴 제조 공정이 용이하다는 등의 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 반응성 이온 식각 기술을 이용하여 $O_2$, $SF_6$ 그리고 $CH_4$의 삼성분계 가스의 혼합 비율에 따른 PC와 PMMA의 건식 식각 결과 및 특성 평가에 관한 것이다. 준비한 각각의 기판에 포토리소그래피 방법으로 마스크를 형성하여 샘플을 만들었다. RF 척 파워를 100 W, 총 가스 유량을 10 sccm으로 고정시켜 플라즈마 식각 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과에 의하면 전체적으로 PMMA의 식각율이 PC보다는 약 2배 정도 높았다. 그 결과는 PC는 PMMA 보다 상대적으로 높은 녹는점을 가지고 있다는 사실과 관계가 있다고 생각한다. 또한 $O_2/SF_6/CH_4$의 삼성분계 가스와 $SF_6/CH_4$, $O_2/SF_6$, $O_3/CH_4$로 나누었을 때 $O_2/SF_6$의 혼합 가스에서 PMMA와 PC의 식각 속도가 가장 높았다 (PC: 5 sccm $O_2$/5 sccm $SF_6$에서 약 350 nm/min, PMMA: 2.5 sccm $O_2$/7.5 sccm $SF_6$에서 약 570 nm/min). SEM을 활용하여 식각된 표면을 분석한 결과 PC는 PMMA보다 상대적으로 식각 표면이 더 매끈하였다. 또한 표면 거칠기 분석결과 PC의 표면 거칠기는 1.9$\sim$3.88 nm이었지만 PMMA의 표면 거칠기는 17.3$\sim$26.1 nm로 현저하게 높았음을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 우리 나라에 건축되어져 있는 개방육성비육돈사와 무창육성비육돈사의 환경효율을 검증하고자 하였다. 본 실험은 실험돈사에서 겨울철과 여름철로 나누어 실시한 실험결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 무창육성비육돈사는 외부의 기온 변화가 심하더라도 돈사내부의 온도는 외부기온의 영향을 받지 않고 여름철 24.8${\sim}$29.1$^{\circ}C$, 겨울철 17.9${\sim}$23.1$^{\circ}C$를 유지하였으나 개방육성비육돈사는 여름철 24.7${\sim}$32.3$^{\circ}C$, 겨울철 14.5${\sim}$18.2$^{\circ}C$를 유지하여 온도효율이 낮았다. 2) 암모니아 농도를 측정한 바 개방육성비육돈사는 여름철 9.31${\sim}$16.9 mg/$\ell$, 겨울철 5.1${\sim}$19.7 mg/$\ell$로 측정되었으며, 무창육성비육돈사는 공기입기 및 배기의 효율적인 구성으로 여름철 7.9${\sim}$16.1 mg/$\ell$, 겨울철 3.7${\sim}$9.6 mg/$\ell$를 유지하여 개방육성비육돈사 보다는 낮게 나타났다. 3) 무창육성비육돈사는 돼지생육 공간(하부)의 공기유속이 겨울철 최소환기(5%) 수준으로 하였을 때 0.0${\sim}$0.87 m/s 였으며, 여름철 최대환기(95%) 수준에서는 0.1${\sim}$2.73 m/s로 분포되어 여름철 및 겨울철의 무창육성비육돈사내 공기유속이 개방육성비육돈사보다 양호하였다. 4) 여름철 비육돈출하시(평균 110 kg 전후)의 체중은 개방육성비육돈사는 100.2인데 비하여 무창육성비육돈사에서의 체중은 107.3kg으로 약 7kg 정도의 차이로 빠른 증체를 가져왔는데, 이것은 외기의 영향을 영향을 크게 받지 않고 일정한 환경을 유지해 주어 스트레스를 줄여 주었기 때문으로 판단된다.

국내 2층돈사 및 톱밥돈사의 분뇨처리 실태 조사를 토대로 국내 실정에 알맞은 고상식돈사의 적정분뇨 처리방법을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 1. Control 1, T1, T2에서 분뇨처리상 평균 온도는 $25.3{\sim}25.4^{\circ}C$로 차이가 적었고, 공기유동은 Control 1과 T1의 공기유동보다 T2에서 공기유동이 적었으며 먼지 발생량은 Control 1에서 54 cpm로 T1과 T2 보다 많이 발생되었다. 2. 암모니아 농도는 $0.5{\sim}14.5ppm$로 Control 1가 평균 6.0 ppm으로 가장 높았고, T1(2.8 ppm)과 T2(2.6 ppm)에서 낮았으며, 처리간에 유의차(p<0.05)가 있었다. 또한 톱밥살포 전, 후의 암모니아 농도를 비교한 결과 톱밥을 살포하는 Control 1과 T1 처리구에서 감소효과가 있었다. 3. 이산화탄소($CO_2$)의 농도는 T1(581 ppm) 처리구에서 제일 낮았고, 수분함량은 Control 1과 T2에서 적정 수분함량인 65%에 근접하였으며, T1에서는 수분함량과 pH가 가장 높았으며 유기물함량과 탄질비는 가장 낮았다. 4. 두당 톱밥살포량은 Control 1과 T2에서 각각 0.26, $0.27m^3$로 T1 보다 적었고, 브로어 등 경영비에서는 T2 처리구가 좋았다. 따라서 분뇨처리상에서 톱밥을 10 cm 바닥에 덮고, 주기적으로 2층에서 톱밥을 살포하는 T2 처리구가 좋은 것으로 사료된다.

배경: 동맥전환술의 위험인자와 장기 성적을 알아보고자 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1988년 1월부터 1996년 12월까지 심실중격이 온전한 대혈관전위증으로 인해 동맥전환술을 시행 받은 58명의 환자를 대상으로 동맥전환술에 따른 조기 및 만기성적에 대하여 후향적 평가를 시행하였다. 술전 처치로 36례(62.1%)에서 풍선심방절개술을 시행하였으며, 32례(51.7%)에서 PGE1을 사용하였고, 좌우심실의 압력비가 평균 0.53$\pm$0.11이었던 6례(10.3%)의 환아에서는 먼저 폐동맥밴딩을 시행하였다. 결과: 수술당시의 평균연령은 24$\pm$26일(범위 1-137일)이었고 수술당시 평균체중은 3.5$\pm$0.8 kg(범위 1.8~6.1 kg)였다. 전체 조기사망율은 24.1%(14/58)였으며, 최근 3년간의 조기사망율은 8.3%(2/24)였다. 사망과 관련된 위험인자 분석에서는 수술 시행 년도가 유일한 위험인자로 나타났다(p-value < 0.01). 조기 사망한 14례 중 8례는 급성심근부전으로 사망하였으며 주된 원인은 관상동맥부전이었다. 44명의 술후 생존자들을 대상으로 2개월에서 8년까지 평균 36$\pm$27개월 동안 추적관찰을 시행하였으며, 대혈관과 관상동맥의 문합부위, 심실기능, 반월판막의 폐쇄부전, 심박동 이상 등에 중점을 두고 연속적인 비관혈적 검사 및 술후 5개월과 32개월 사이에 모두 21례의 심도자술을 시행하였다. 만기 사망한 경우는 5례(11.4%)였으며 사망원인은 관상동맥의 만기 협착 1례, 흡인 2례, 만성 종격동염 1례, 진행성 대동맥판막폐쇄부전과 심부전 1례 등이었다. 혈류역학적으로 가장 흔한 이상은 폐동맥상부의 협착이었고, 폐동맥협착과 대동맥협착을 보였던 몇몇 경우에 있어서는 점차 협착정도가 진행하는 경우도 관찰되었으나 이로 인한 재수술은 없었다. 9례에서 대동맥판막폐쇄부전 소견을보였으며 7례에서는 그 정도가 가벼웠으나 2례에서는 중정도의 폐쇄부전을 보였고 다소 진행하는 경우도 있었다. 수술전후로 심근허혈의 증거가 없었던 2례에서 관상동맥의 폐쇄가 확인되었다. 나머지 생존자들은 동성박동과 정상적인 좌심기능을 유지한 채 양호한 경과를 보이고 있으며 생명표법에 근거한 8년 생존률은 68.8%였다. 결론: 심실중격이 온전한 대혈관전위증에서 해부학적 교정술은 우선적인 수술방법으로 여겨지나 추후 지속적인 추적관찰이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
