1 GW/$cm^2$ 이상의 고강도의 레이저 빔을 얇은 금속 호일의 한 점에 집중시키면, 레이저 삭마현상에 의해 발생된 충격파가 금속 호일 안으로 전파하게 된다. 이 충격파는 금속 호일의 반대 면에서 팽창파로 반사되고, 그 과정에서 금속 호일에 급격한 변형이 일어난다. 이 때, 금속 호일의 반대 면에 미세한 마이크로 단위 크기의 입자들을 코팅하면, 금속의 순간적인 변형으로 인해 입자들이 큰 운동량을 얻으며 가속되어 빠른 속도로 튕겨져 나가게 되는데 이것이 바이오리스틱 약물 전달의 원리이다. 이번 연구에서는 바이오리스틱 시스템의 제어성, 안정성, 효율을 향상시키고자 컨파인 조건을 변화시키며, 인체의 연한 조직을 모사하는 3% 젤라틴 용액으로의 침투 모습을 파악하였다. 사용한 컨파인 매질은 BK7 유리, 물, 그리고 초음파젤(RHAPAPHRM Co. Ltd)이다. 실험결과, 컨파인 매질과 그 두께를 조절함으로써 마이크로 입자들의 침투 양상을 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Two polyethylene tubes were inserted into the esophagus of anesthetized rabbit in order to record the fluctuation of the intraluminal pressure through the orifices located near the tips of the tubes. The orifice of the first tube was 10 cm apart from the incisor of the rabbit and the orifice of the second tube was 5 cm below that of the first one. The tubes were filled with saline solution running at various rates ranging from 1.5 ml/min. to 4.2 ml/min. The tubes were connected to the pressure transducers and the electrical signals were recorded by the physiograph. When the peristaltic wave approached to the orifice a rise in the pressure was recorded, returning to the base line when the portion of the orifice was quiescent. The frequency of the peristaltic motion and the velocity of the wave were studied in connection with the flow rate of saline solution through the tubes and in the case of massive acute hemorrhage. The results obtained were as follows: 1. There was reflux of fluid induced during the procedure of the experiment. This outwrad flow through the pharynx seemed to elicite swallowing reflexes. Accordingly, the frequency of peristalsis of the esophagus was largely dependent on the flow rate of the fluid through the inserted tubes. By the flow rate of 1.5 ml/min., 2.5 ml/min., or 4.2 ml/min., the frequencies of the peristalsis were revealed to be $8.6{\pm}3.6/10min.,\;14.5{\pm}4.8/10min.\;or\;21.1{\pm}6.3/10min.,$ respectively. The velocity of peristalsis also coincided with the enhanced motility of the esophagus, showing $6.6{\pm}1.5\;cm/sec.,\;8.9{\pm}3.9\;cm/sec.,\;or\;12.4{\pm}4.6\;cm/sec.,$ respectively. 2. By acute hemorrhage, amounting to 2% of the body weight, the frequency of the peristalsis increased to twofold of the control and the propagation velocity also increased by 52 percent. 3. Retransfusion of the shed blood resulted in divergent responses. In some cases there were noticable ameliorations of the effects brought by acute hemorrhage, and in the others there were still increasing tendenies of the motility after the transfusion. 4. Some speculation was made about the possibility of a kind of relationship between the irreversibility of the hemorrhagic shock and the absence of responses by transfusion. 5. The peristalsis persisted even after complete disconnection at the midportion of the esophagus, reaffirming the view of a central regulation of the spatiotemporally coordinated motility, peristalsis.
