  • 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.

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.

  • 창업보육센터는 창업을 준비하는 예비창업자 및 신규 창업자에게 사업을 영위하는데 필요한 자원 및 서비스를 제공하고, 사업을 수행하는 과정에서 발생되는 다양한 문제의 해결에 도움을 주고 있다. 그러나 이러한 지원은 상황에 따라 기업의 자생력을 높이기보다는 창업보육센터에 대한 의존도를 높이는 경향이 있다. 본 연구는 창업보육서비스를 제공형태에 따라 인프라 지원, 네트워크 연계 지원, 직접 지원으로 분류한 후에 이들 서비스의 제공이 입주기업의 창업보육센터 의존도에 미치는 영향관계를 살펴보고, 아울러 입주기간에 따른 조절효과를 살펴보았다. 연구결과 세 가지 보육서비스 모두 의존도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었으며, 입주기간에 따른 조절효과는 기간이 늘어날수록 네트워크 연계 지원서비스에 정의 효과가 있는 반면 직접 지원서비스는 부의 효과가 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 이러한 결과는 입주기간이 늘어감에 따라 직접 지원서비스의 경우에는 입주기업이 센터의 자원을 흡수하여 기업의 역량으로 만들어 가지만, 네트워크 연계 지원서비스는 기업의 센터에 대한 의존도를 높이고 있다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 신생기업이 자생력을 갖기 위해서는 보육서비스를 보육기간에 따라 차별적으로 제공해야 한다는 시사점을 제시하고 있다.

  • 목적: 인체 비소세포 폐암 A549세포에서 MRP발현을 조사하고, A549세포와 종양에서 Tc-99m MIBI와 tetrofosmin의 섭취정도를 비교하여 MRP추적자로서의 성능을 알아보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법: A549세포의 MRP발현은 MRPr1항체에 대한 western blot analysis와 면역조직화학 검사로 확인하였다. 세포내 섭취는 $37^{\circ}C$에서 $100{\mu}M$의 verapamil (Vrp), $50{\mu}M$의 cyclosporin A (CsA)와 $25{\mu}M$의 butoxysulfoximide (BSO)가 전 처리된 $1{\times}10^6$개/ml 농도의 단일세포 부유 상태에서MIBI와 tetrofosmin을 30분과 60분 동안 반응시킨 후 상층액과 침전물로 분리하여 각각의 방사능을 감마계수기로 측정하였다. 체내실험은 누드마우스에 A549세포를 이종이식하여 4군으로 나누었다. Gr1과 Gr3은 MIBI와 tetrofosmin을 각각 주사한 군들이며, Gr2와 Gr4는 CsA를 70mg/kg으로 MIBI와 tetrofosmin투여 1시간 전에 처리한 군들이다. MIBI와 tetrofosmin은 각각 370KBq용량으로 꼬리정맥 주사하고 10분, 60분, 240분 후에 동물들을 희생시켜 종양조직내의 두 방사성의약품의 장기섭취율(%ID/gm)로 계산하여 비교하였다. 결과: MRPr1 항체(clone MRPr1)를 이용하여 western blot analysis결과 A549세포는 약 190 kDa에 해당하는 MRPr1 밴드를 나타내었으며, 면역조직화학 염색검사에 의한 종양조직에서도 MRP가 발현되었음을 관찰할 수 있었다. A549세포에서 세포내 MIBI와 tetrofosmin의 섭취는 배양시간이 지남에 따라 증가 하였으며 그 섭취정도는 MIBI가 tetrofosmin보다 높았다. MRP역전제들에 의한 MIBI와 tetrofosmin의 섭취정도를 각각의 60분 대조군과 비교하면 Vrp($100{\mu}M$) 처리에 의하여 각각 623%와 427%, CsA($50{\mu}M$)에 의해서는 각각 763%와 629%, BSO ($25{\mu}M$)에 의해서는 각각 219%와 140%로 증가하여 모든 역전제에서 MIBI의 섭취증가 정도가 tetrofosmin보다 높았다. 체내에서 Gr1과 Gr3에서 두 방사성의 약품의 섭취정도는 유사하였다. Gr2와 Gr4에서 CsA (70mg/kg)에 의한 섭취정도는 각각의 대조군에 비교하여 MIBI는 10분에 114%, 60분에 257%, 240분에 396%로 증가하였으며, tetrofosmin은 10분에 110%, 60분에 205%, 240분에 410%로 증가하였다. 결론: 본 연구의 결과로 보아 인체 비소세포 폐암 A549세포와 종양에서 MIBI와 teoofosmin은 MRP발현을 측정할 수 있는 방사성의약품으로 사료되며, MRP억제제들에 의한 MIBI와 tetrofosmin의 섭취증가 정도는 세포실험에서는 MIBI가 tetrofosmin보다 높았으나 동물실험에서는 유사하였다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 성악심리치료활동이 자기의식 수준 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 자기의식 수준의 차이에 따라 자기보고서에 보고하는 내용이 어떻게 다른지를 알아보는 데에 있다. 본 연구는 서울시에 위치하고 있는 E 대학교에 재학 중인 여대생 3명을 대상으로 총 10회로 약 60분간 진행되었다. 연구에 참여한 이들은 음악치료 프로그램 지원자 모집에 자발적으로 지원한 자들이며, 연구에 사용된 성악심리치료 프로그램은 4단계로 구성되었다. 성악심리치료활동을 통한 대상자의 자기의식 수준 변화를 알아보기 위해 사전사후에 자기의식검사를 실시하였으며, 매 회기 성악심리치료활동을 마친 후 자기보고서를 작성하여 보고 내용의 변화를 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 첫째로 성악심리치료활동이 자기의식검사 점수 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 성악심리치료 프로그램의 실시 전후에 자기의식검사를 실시한 결과, 자기의식검사 전체 점수와 하위개념 점수가 개인별로 다른 변화를 보였다. 자기의식검사의 전체 점수와 하위개념 점수의 사전사후 점수에는 나타나지 않은 변화를 살펴보기 위해 문항별 변화를 알아본 결과, 총 28문항 중에서 대상자 A는 13개, 대상자 B는 16개, 대상자 C는 19개의 문항이 1-2점씩 변화하였다. 이는 점수의 변화율에는 나타나지 않은 결과로 위의 내용들을 종합하면, 성악심리치료활동이 자기의식검사의 하위개념 점수의 증감에 영향을 미친다는 결론을 유추할 수 있다. 둘째로는 매 회기를 마친 후 자기보고서에 보고된 내용의 분석을 통해 성악심리치료활동이 진행되는 동안 자기의식 수준의 차이에 따라 자기보고서에 보고하는 내용이 어떻게 다른지를 알아보고자 하였다. 질적 분석 결과, 자기의식의 개인차에 따라 자신을 목소리로 표현하는 것에 대한 인식, 자신의 목소리에 대한 인식, 타인이 의식되는 정도와 내용이 회기와 개인별로 다르게 나타났다. 분석된 자기보고서의 내용을 구체적으로 살펴보면, 사적자기의식 점수와 공적자기의식 점수가 상대적으로 높은 대상자 A는 자신의 내적 사고와 감정에 대한 측면을 많이 의식하고, 사회적 객체로서의 자신에게 주의를 집중하는 경향이 자기보고서에 많이 나타났다. 또한 감정적 풍부함, 예술적 호기심과 같은 긍정적 정서 경험과 함께 특성, 상태 불안, 신경증적 경향성 등의 부정적 정서도 많이 나타났다. 반면, 대상자 A와 함께 사적자기의식 점수와 공적자기의식 점수가 상대적으로 높은 B의 경우 사회적 객체로서의 자신에게 주의를 집중하는 경향은 A와 비슷하나, 다른 사람 앞에서 불안해하고 당황하는 사회불안 관련 경향이 많이 보고되었다. 마지막으로, 다른 참여자들에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 자기의식점수를 보이는 대상자 C는 대상자 A와 B에 비해 자신의 타인을 의식하는 경향이 상대적으로 적게 보고되었으며, 특성, 상태 불안과 같은 부정적 정서도 적게 보고되었다. 이 연구는 자기의식으로 인해 활성화되는 자기평가과정으로 인해 어려움을 겪는 이들을 위한 연구라는 점과 자기(Self)와 밀접하게 연관된 목소리를 주로 사용한다는 점, 그리고 기술적 어려움의 해소를 위해 성악기술훈련을 실시하였다는 점이 의미가 있다. 또한 성악심리치료활동을 통해 정신건강과 성격발달에 긍정적인 변화를 가져올 수 있다는 사실을 시사한다.

  • 현대시대는 환자에 대한 의료제도가 의료서비스 개념으로 변화되고 있다. 이렇게 인간의 권리가 높아지고 환자가 고객이 되는 시대로 변화됨으로써 환자의 권리나 요구도 날로 증가되고 있으며 이를 바탕으로 여러 가지 병원 시스템도 환자의 편의나 요구에 맞춰지고 있는 것이 현실이다. 이로 인해 일반촬영 검사 중 Portable 검사의 Case도 점차 증가하고 있는 추세이다. Portable 검사의 Case가 증가하면서 병실, 중환자실, 수술실, 회복실에서 Portable검사로 인하여 주변 환자들의 원하지 않는 의료 피폭이 발생하기 때문에 법적으로도 이를 규제하고 있다. 실제로 진단용 방사선 발생장치의 안전관리에 관한 규칙 중 방사선 방어시설의 검사기준에서 "수술실, 응급실 또는 중환자실 외의 장소에서 촬영할 경우 반드시 이동형 진료용엑스선 방어칸막이를 갖추어야 한다."고 명시되어 있지만 이는 거의 시행되어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 X-ray Potable 검사를 통해 주변 환자가 받는 피폭선량을 알아보고 피폭선량 감소 방안을 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구는 Mobile Portable 장비에서 Collimator 주변을 차폐하여 차폐 전과 후의 선량 변화, Portable tube와 Collimator의 각도 변화에 따른 차폐 전과 후의 선량 변화, 환자 침대의 거리변화에 따른 차폐 전과 후의 선량 변화를 각각 측정한 뒤 차폐효과를 알아보았다. 연구 결과 Collimator 주변을 차폐한 후 선량 변화는 차폐하지 않았을 때보다 약 20%의 차폐효과를 보였다. Portable 검사 중 비 차폐 시 각도가 $0^{\circ}C$, $90^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$ 순서로 피폭선량이 증가하였으며, 각도를 주었을 때 Collimator 주변을 차폐하면 피폭 선량은 감소하였다. 또한 환자 침대 거리는 비 차폐 시 0.5m보다 1m에서 피폭선량이 현저히 감소하였고 침대 간 거리 변화 시 Collimator 주변 차폐 후 선량 변화는 감소하였다. 주변 환자 피폭선량 감소 측면에서 볼 때 침대거리를 가능한 멀리 떨어뜨리는 것이 가장 좋은 방법이며 차폐효과가 약 100% 내외로 상당한 효과를 볼 수 있다. 그 다음은 Collimator를 차폐하는 방법으로 차폐효과가 약 20% 정도를 나타내며, 각도를 제한하는 방법으로 약 10% 내외의 효과를 나타낸다. Portable 검사 시 환자 피폭선량을 감소하기 위해 가능한 환자 및 보호자를 적정거리 이상으로 이동시킨 후에 실시하는 것이 가장 좋겠지만 환자가 움직일 수 없고 침대가 고정되어 있는 상태에서는 Collimator 주변을 차폐하는 방안을 제안한다. 또한 검사를 시행할 때 tube와 Collimator의 각도를 가능한 90도로 시행하도록 하고 90도가 안될 경우는 0도로 시행하되 45도는 가능한 지양하도록 한다. 방사선관계종사자들은 Portable 검사에서 위와 같은 결과들을 인식하고 실제 본인에게 적용시켜야 하며 효율적인 방사선 방어와 피폭선량을 감소시킬 수 있는 방안에 대한 노력과 연구에 힘써야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Study of Animation 3-Dimensional Motion Picture국내뿐만 아니라 전 세계의 수백만의 인구가 영상을 접하고 있다. 영상은 움직이는 형상을 시각화 하는 것에서 지식, 정보 전달의 매체로서 자리 매김 하였다. 과학의 발전은 온라인(Online)시대를 열어주었고 온라인 시대의 정보습득은 지속적으로 고속화 되어, 과량의 정보 속에서 선택을 해야 하는 관객들을 함께 가속화 시키고 있다. 선택적인 측면에서 시각적인 전달 방법은 급변하는 시대의 요구에 맞게 변화하게 된다. 다량의 정보 속에서 순간의 선택을 받기 위한 일한으로, 1차적인 요건은 시선을 집중시키는 것이며, 그에 상응하는 만족감을 선사하는 것이다. 영상의 초기는 실제로 자신이 보고 있는 상황을 그대로 옮기고자 하는 욕구에서 출발한 것이다. 정지화면에서 만족하지 못한 인간은 움직이는 화면(Film)을 개발하였고 양안의 시점의 차이와 광선의 자극 반응을 감안한 실제 인지하는 시점보다 더 입체감을 만들어내는 영상을 가늠 해내는 연구를 하게 된다. 이는 컬러 필름(Color Film)에서 입체영상 개발까지 놀라운 성과를 누리게 된다. 인간의 가시적인 면에 대한 욕망의 추구 즉, 극대화된 실재감(Reality) 있는 볼거리 추구는 영상이 포함되는 모든 분야에 지속적으로 요구되고 있다. 지금 수백만의 인구가 보편적으로 보고 있는 영상들은 평면적이다. 화면의 깊이 감(Depth)과 착시현상(Optical Illusion)은 효과적으로 현실감을 주며 정보를 전달한다. 하지만, 인간의 양안 시점차이로 인식하는 입체감은 평면속에서 만들어 내는 깊이 감으로는 현실감 있게 인식하는데 한계점이 존재한다. 이러한 한계를 만족시킬 입체 영상) 입체영상은 영화에서 시작되었으나, 20c후반기에 들어서면서 애니메이션 분야와 모바일, 광고 패널, 텔레비전등의 매체를 이용한 입체 영상의 개발로 인하여 특정 분야에 한정 시킬 수 없으므로 영상으로 칭한다. 입체 영상은 21c에 들어서면서 영상매체의 한 분야로 급부상하고 있다. 1900년 무렵부터 연구된 입체영화(3-Dimensional motion Picture)는 In여 년이 지난 지금 대중화를 눈앞에 두고 있다. 국내에서는 놀이 동산이나 박물관등에서 흔히 볼 수 있다. 하지만 앞으로는 HDW등의 대중화로 화질의 발전을 이룬 텔레비전 분야 등에서 실용화 될 전망이다. 국제적인 흐름과 함께 국내에서도 입체 영화에 대한 연구가 활성화 되어 영상산업의 한 주류로서 대두되고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 입체영상에 대한 이해와 콘텐츠(Contents)의 개발은 기술적인 진보에 발맞추어 준비되어야 한다. 본 논문은 이러한 기술적인 계보에 발맞춘 영상 콘텐츠 개발에 박차를 가하고자 앞으로의 발전분야에 대한 기술적인 면과 기법적인 면을 제시하여 기술만 앞서고 내용은 수입하는 수입국이기 보다는 미리 준비하여 비전문가나 타국의 기술에 선점 당하지 않는 분야로 성장할 수 있는 진보적인 영상 인들의 관심과 지속적인 연구를 독려하고자 한다.

  • 본 연구는 공원 수림지 경계로부터 내부로의 거리에 따른 수림지 가장자리의 온열환경에 대한 효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 전형적인 여름 날씨를 나타낸 2015년 7월 31일부터 8월 5일까지 6일간 소도읍에 소재하고 있는 장령림인 하동송림의 소나무 순림(수령: $100{\pm}33$년, 울폐도: 75%, 수고: $12.8{\pm}2.7m$, 지하고: $9.8{\pm}2.7m$, N $35^{\circ}03^{\prime}34.7^{{\prime}{\prime}}$, E $127^{\circ}44^{\prime}43.3^{{\prime}{\prime}}$, 표고 7~10m) 남측 가장자리와 함양상림의 졸참나무-개서어나무 군락(수령: 졸참나무 58~123년, 개서어나무 102~125년, 울폐도: 96%, 수고: 교목층 $18.6{\pm}2.3m$, 아교목층 $5.9{\pm}3.2m$, 관목층 $0.5{\pm}0.5m$, 지하고는 교목층 $11.0{\pm}3.2m$, 아교목층 $3.1{\pm}1.7m$, 관목층 $0.2{\pm}0.3m$, 초본층의 피도 60%, N $35^{\circ}31^{\prime}28.1^{{\prime}{\prime}}$, E $127^{\circ}43^{\prime}09.8^{{\prime}{\prime}}$, 표고 170~180m) 동측 가장자리의 경계로부터 내부로의 거리별 기온, 상대습도, 풍속, MRT나 UTCI를 측정 및 분석하였다. 그리고 비선형 시그모이드 함수를 적용하여 수림지 가장자리가 가지는 경계로부터의 거리에 따른 기온, 상대습도, 풍속, MRT, UTCI의 저감효과를 구명하였다. 깊이의 결과 값이 -를 나타내는 것은 수림지의 바깥을 의미한다. 1) 최고 기온, 최저 상대습도, 최고 기온시 풍속에 대한 수림지 가장자리 효과가 미치는 깊이는 상록침엽수림인 하동송림의 경우는 수림지의 경계로부터 각각 $12.7{\pm}4.9m$, $15.8{\pm}9.8m$ 그리고 $23.8{\pm}26.2m$였으며, 낙엽활엽수림인 함양상림의 경우는 수림지의 경계로부터 각각 $3.7{\pm}2.2m$, $4.9{\pm}4.4m$ 그리고 $2.6{\pm}7.8m$였다. 2) 이용자가 체감하는 더위에 직접적인 영향을 주는 인체가 흡수한 온열환경에 근거한 최고 MRT와 최고 UTCI(체감더위지수)에 대한 수림지 가장자리 효과가 미치는 깊이는 하동송림의 경우는 수림지의 경계로부터 각각 $7.1{\pm}1.7m$$4.3{\pm}4.6m$였으며, 함양상림의 경우는 수림지의 경계로부터 각각 $5.8{\pm}4.9m$$3.5{\pm}4.1m$였다. 3) 미기후 즉 온열환경 요소인 기온, 상대습도, 풍속 그리고 인체가 흡수한 온열환경에 근거한 주간(10:00~17:00) MRT와 UTCI에 대한 수림지 가장자리의 효과는 식생밀도가 상대적으로 높고, 하층식생이 발달한 함양상림이 식생밀도가 낮고, 하층식생의 거의 없는 하동송림에 비해 높게 나타났다. 따라서 체감 더위지수인 UTCI의 10분 평균값이 최댓값을 나타낸 시점을 기준으로 하면, 수림지 경계로부터 내부로의 거리가 하동송림의 경우는 $4.3{\pm}4.6m$, 함양상림의 경우는 $3.5{\pm}4.1m$에서 온열환경 기울기의 변화가 비교적 완만해지므로, 수림지 계획시 이용객의 온열환경을 고려한 완충대의 적정 폭은 하동송림의 경우는 4.3~8.9m, 함양상림의 경우는 3.5~7.6m이다. 또한 온열환경에 대한 완충효과를 극대화하기 위해서, 수림지 완충대 식생의 수직구조는 다층 구조의 수관과 닫힌 가장자리로 하여야 한다.
