전세계적으로 매년 대량생산되는 프탈레이트(phthalate)류 물질은 플라스틱처럼 다양한 생활용품의 원료로 사용되기 때문에 인간에 대한 노출 정도가 매우 높은 산업 물질이다. 대표적으로 di(2-ethyl hexyl)phthalate(DEHP)와 그 활성 대사물인 monoethyl hexyl phthalate(MEHP)가 내분비계 장애물질(endocrine disruptor)로 작용하여 인간과 실험 동물의 생식계를 교란한다는 증거들이 급속히 축적되고 있다. 본 연구는 DEHP가 암컷 흰쥐의 사춘기 개시와 이와 관련된 생식 지표들의 변화에 미치는 효과를 조사한 것이다. 생후 25 일부터 corn oil 또는 DEHP(100mg/kg/day i.p.)를 사춘기 개시의 지표인 질구 개방(vaginal opening, VO)이 일어나는 날까지 투여하였다. 다음 날 희생시킨 후 난소와 자궁의 외양과 조직 무게를 측정하여 DEHP가 이들 조직에서의 세포증식에 미치는 효과를 조사하였고, 현미경 관찰을 통해 해부학적인 변화 양상을 조사하였다. 또한 혈액내의 LH 수준을 방사면역측정법(RIA)로 측정하였다. 자궁 성숙의 지표인 프로게스테론 수용체(PR) 발현 양상은 정량적인 RT-PCR로 확인하였다. 결과로, DEHP 투여에 의해 질구 개방이 지연됨을 확인하였다($35.3{\pm}0.7\;day$ in control group vs $37.3{\pm}0.7\;day$ in DEHP group, p<0.05). 흥미롭게도, 첫번째 주사 다음 날(p<0.05)부터 이후 마지막 주사 날(p<0.01)까지 DEHP 군의 체중이 대조군에 비해 유의하게 낮음을 관찰하였다. 난소와 자궁의 크기와 무게, 그리고 혈중 LH 수준도 대조군에 비해 DEHP 군에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 질구 개방이 일어난 대조군의 난소에서는 성숙의 지표인 그라프 난포(Graafian follicle)와 황체가 관찰되었으나 DEHP 군의 난소에서는 미성숙한 1차, 2차 난포 그리고 작은 퇴화 난포(atretic follicle)들만이 다수 관찰되었다. 자궁의 경우도 대조군에서는 내막층과 근막층은 물론 상피층까지 잘 발달된 과다 성장 상태와 함께 분비선 수의 증가가 나타났으나 DEHP 군에서는 모든 세포층의 발달이 미약한 상태였다. 이러한 결과는 DEHP가 과립세포에서의 에스트로겐 합성 분비에 억제적 효과를 나타내는 것에 기인하는 것으로 보인다. RT-PCR 결과 난소(p<0.05)와 자궁(p<0.01)에서의 PR mRNA 수준은 DEHP 투여에 의해 유의한 발현 감소가 나타났다. 결론적으로, 본 연구는 사춘기 전 특정 시기에 단기적인 DEHP 투여에 의해 암컷 흰쥐의 생식계 활성화가 억제되고, 그 결과 사춘기가 지연될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Dicarboximide계 살균제인 vinclozolin(VCZ)은 과일, 야채, 관상용 식물에서 미생물에 의해 유발되는 병들을 통제하는데 사용되어왔다. VCZ의 대사산물인 M1과 M2는 흔히 토양, 식물, 포유류에 잔존하기 때문에 인간에게 노출될 가능성이 크다. VCZ가 갖는 항안드로겐성 활성 때문에 주로 수컷에 대한 연구가 이루어졌으며, 암컷의 사춘기와 생식계에 미치는 영향은 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 VCZ가 암컷 흰쥐의 사춘기 개시와 이와 관련된 생식 지표들의 변화에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 생후 21일부터 vehicle(DMSO) 또는 VCZ(10 mg/kg/day i.p.)를 사춘기 개시의 지표인 질구 개방(vaginal opening, V.O.)이 일어나는 날까지 투여하였다. 질구 개방이 일어난 날 오후에 희생시킨 후 난소와 자궁의 외양과 조직 무게를 측정하여 VCZ가 이들 조직에서의 세포 증식에 미치는 효과를 조사하였고, 현미경 관찰을 통해 해부학적인 변화 양상을 조사하였다. 또한, 면역조직화학법을 수행하여 단백질 수준에서의 유전자 발현을 조사하였다. 자궁 성숙의 지표인 프로게스테론 수용체(PR) 발현 양상은 정량적인 RT-PCR로 확인하였다. 결과로, VCZ 투여에 의해 질구 개방이 지연됨을 확인하였다(PND $34.00{\pm}1.22$ in control group vs PND $38.20{\pm}1.92$ in VCZ group, p<0.05). 그러나 체중 변화의 경우, 대조군과 VCZ군 간 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 난소와 자궁의 크기와 무게는 대조군에 비해 VCZ군에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 질구 개방이 일어난 대조군의 난소에서는 성숙의 지표인 그라프 난포(Graafian follicle)와 황체가 관찰되었으나, VCZ군의 난소에서는 미성숙한 1차, 2차 난포 그리고 작은 퇴화 난포(atretic follicle)들만이 다수 관찰되었다. 자궁의 경우도 대조군에서는 내막층과 근막층은 물론 상피층까지 잘 발달된 과다 성장 상태와 함께 분비선 수의 증가가 관찰되었으나, VCZ군에서는 모든 세포층과 분비선의 발달이 미약한 상태였다. RT-PCR 결과, 난소(p<0.01)에서의 PR mRNA 수준은 VCZ 투여에 의해 유의한 발현 감소가 나타났다. 결론적으로, 본 연구는 사춘기 개시 전 특정시기에 단기적인 VCZ 투여에 의해 암컷 흰쥐의 생식계 활성화가 억제되고, 그 결과 사춘기 개시가 지연될 수 있음을 시사한다.

The production scale of mushroom cultivation in Korea is approximately 600 billion won, which is 1.6% of the Korean gross agricultural output. Annually, ca. 190,000 tons of mushrooms are harvested in Korea. Although the numbers of mushroom farms and cultivators are constantly decreasing, the total mushroom yields are increasing due to the large-scale cultivation facilities and automation. The recent expansion of the well-being trend causes increase in mushroom consumption in Korea: annual per capita consumption of mushroom was 3.9kg ('13) that is a little higher than European's average. Thus the exports of mushrooms, mainly Flammulina velutipes and Pleurotus ostreatus, have been increased since the middle of 2000s. Recently, however, it is slightly reduced. However, Vietnam, Hong Kong, the United States, the Netherlands and continued to export, and the country has increased recently been exported to Australia, Canada, Southeast Asia and so on. Canned foods of Agaricus bisporus was the first exports of the Korean mushroom industry. This business has reached the peak of the sale in 1977-1978. As Korea initiated trade with China in 1980, the international prices of mushrooms were sharply fall that led to shrink the domestic markets. According to the high demand to develop new items to substitute for A. bisporus, oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) was received the attention since it seems to suit the taste of Korean consumers. Although log cultivation technique was developed in the early 1970s for oyster mushroom, this method requires a great deal of labor. Thus we developed shelf cultivation technique which is easier to manage and allows the mass production. In this technique, the growing shelf is manly made from fermented rice straw, that is the unique P. ostreatus medium in the world, was used only in South Korea. After then, the use of cotton wastes as an additional material of medium, the productivity. Currently it is developing a standard cultivation techniques and environmental control system that can stably produce mushrooms throughout the year. The increase of oyster mushroom production may activate the domestic market and contribute to the industrial development. In addition, oyster mushroom production technology has a role in forming the basis of the development of bottle cultivation. Developed mushroom cultivation technology using bottles made possible the mass production. In particular, bottle cultivation method using a liquid spawn can be an opportunity to export the F.velutipes and P.eryngii. In addition, the white varieties of F.velutipes were second developed in the world after Japan. We also developed the new A.bisporus cultivar "Sae-ah" that is easy to grown in Korea. To lead the mushroom industry, we will continue to develop the cultivars with an international competitive power and to improve the cultivation techniques. Mushroom research in Korea nowadays focuses on analysis of mushroom genetics in combination with development of new mushroom varieties, mushroom physiology and cultivation. Further studied are environmental factors for cultivation, disease control, development and utilization of mushroom substrate resources, post-harvest management and improvement of marketable traits. Finally, the RDA manages the collection, classification, identification and preservation of mushroom resources. To keep up with the increasing application of biotechnology in agricultural research the genome project of various mushrooms and the draft of the genetic map has just been completed. A broad range of future studies based on this project is anticipated. The mushroom industry in Korea continually grows and its productivity rapidly increases through the development of new mushrooms cultivars and automated plastic bottle cultivation. Consumption of medicinal mushrooms like Ganoderma lucidum and Phellinus linteus is also increasing strongly. Recently, business of edible and medicinal mushrooms was suffering under over-production and problems in distribution. Fortunately, expansion of the mushroom export helped ease the negative effects for the mushroom industry.

공동충전 효과를 검증하기 위하여 실시한 시차 공대공 탄성파 탐사자료로부터 지하공동 부존 지역에서 충전 전과 후에 매질의 탄성파 전파속도의 변화를 확인하였다. 시차 공대공 탄성파 탐사자료에 나타난 반응과 시추조사 결과에 의하면 본 지역의 공동은 규모가 극히 소규모이거나 또는 폐석 등으로 충전된 것으로 보인다. 공동충진 효과는 토모그래피로부터 도출된 속도단면상의 탄성파 속도의 증가량을 분석함으로써 평가하였다. 시추공용 에어건을 진원으로 24-채널 하이드로폰을 수진기로 하여 자료를 취득하였다. 취득한 자료에는 무시할 수 없을 정도의 source statics를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제시한 보정방법은 2단계로; 1) 불규칙한 발파시점에 의한 영향 보정과 2) 잔여 정보정으로 이는 진원의 부정확한 위치에 대한 정보정이다. 본 논문에서는 고주파수 성분의 수치잡음이 억제되고 관심대상 부분에서 비교적 고분해능 영상을 도출할 수 있는 다단계 역산 방안을 제시하였다. 일반적으로 최소자승 주시토모그래피로는 평활화된 속도 영상을 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 역산으로는 비교적 소규모의 구간에서 발생한 적은 속도변화를 영상화하기에는 어려운 면이 있다. 본 논문에서는 속도모델의 파라메터를 변화시킨 2단계 제어 역산법으로 도출한 시차 토모그램으로부터 채굴 영향대에서 발생한 매질의 속도변화를 시각화 할 수 있었다. 2단계 역산법은 1-단계에서는 적정한 크기의 균일 격자로 구성된 모델을 사용하여 토모그램을 작성하고 이 토모그램에 2차원 중위수 필터를 적용하여 대략적인 속도구조 모델을 작성한다. 2-단계 역산시는 1-단계에서 작성한 속도모델을 수정하여 초기 모델로 한다. 모델 수정은 관심대상 부분만을 작은 크기의 균일격자로 재구성하는 것이다. 기준조사 토모그램을 2차 조사자료 역산의 초기 속도모델로 사용하였다. 속도변화는 공동대 부근에서만 예상되므로 그 이외 부분의 속도는 기준 토모그램과 동일하게 고정시키고 역산을 수행하였다.

최근 국내 배출원 특성을 고려하여 생물성 연소에 대한 배출목록(emission inventory)을 추가하려는 연구가 이루어지고 있으나, 국내 현황을 반영한 실증 연구는 현재까지 거의 이루어진 바가 없는 실정이다. 따라서 앞으로 배출목록에 대한 기후 대기 통합관리시스템이 진행될 경우, 효과적인 배출원 관리를 위해 생물성 연소의 온실가스 배출 특성에 대한 연구가 필요한 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 숯가마에서 발생하는 온실가스 배출 특성을 파악하기 위하여 숯가마 모형장치를 이용하여 현장실험을 실시했다. 또한, 참나무의 점화, 탄화, 출탄하는 시기와 내부 온도 변화를 고려하여 굴뚝에서 배출되는 온실가스($CO_2$, $CH_4$, $N_2O$)를 직접 포집하여 분석하였다. 온실가스 배출계수 산정 결과, $CO_2$ 배출계수는 668 g/kg, $CH_4$ 배출계수는 20 g/kg이며, $N_2O$ 배출계수는 0.01 g/kg으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개발한 온실가스 배출계수를 사용하여 국가 배출량을 산정한 결과, $CO_2$ 배출량은 46,040 ton/yr, $CH_4$ 배출량은 1,378 ton/yr, $N_2O$ 배출량은 0.69 ton/yr으로 나타났다. GWP를 이용하여 총 배출량을 산정한 결과, 연간 $75,201ton\;CO_2eq.$으로 나타났으며, 참나무는 바이오 매스에 포함되기 때문에 연소하는 과정에서 발생하는 $CO_2$는 총 배출량에서 제외되므로 숯가마에서 발생하는 국내 순배출량은 연간 $29,161ton\;CO_2eq.$으로 추정되었다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert.

We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. 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.

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.
