This experiment was conducted in order to identify the effect of the laryngeal mask airway and it's clinical utility on cardiovascular system, intraocular pressure and stress reaction at the time of anesthesia care. The heart rate, systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure and intraocular pressure were significantly reduced in the experimental group to be compared with the control group. But, there were no significant differences in mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure and blood cortisol concentration between both groups. In view of the above results, it is thought that the airway management using the laryngeal mask airway will be useful to reduce the stress condition in the induction of anesthesia.

In this study, the authors carried out experiments and numerical simulations in order to clarify the pressure pulsation characteristics in multiple-delivery rotating-cam and stationary-cylinder type radial piston pumps. Also, a tee filter was applied to the pump in order to mitigate the pressure pulsation. Through the experiments and simulations, it was known that pressure pulsation with a magnitude higher than 40% of the mean load pressure could occur in the pump used in the experiments. Moreover, it was confirmed that a tee filter designed in this study could effectively mitigate the pressure pulsation.

Stellate ganglion block which usually practiced in pain clinics may combined with hemodynamic changes because it blocks sympathetic nerve chains. We measured the hemodynamic changes with NCCOM3-$R7^{(R)}$ (BOMED, U.S.A.) which applicated bioimpedance method in twenty-two patients. Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, ejection fraction and left ventricle end diastolic volume (LEDV) were measured before stellate ganglion block (control), 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20 minutes after stellate ganglion block with 8 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine. The results were as follows: Mean arterial pressure decreased significantly (p<0.05) in 10, 20 minutes after stellate ganglion block comparing to control, but not clinically significant. Heart rate, cardiac output, ejection fraction and LVEDV showed no significant change compared to control value. These results showed that stellate ganglion block is a safe technique without significant hemodynamic changes.

Kyungisan (KGS) has been used in oriental medicine for many centuries as a therapeutic agent for treatment of stroke caused by deficiency of qi(氣虛). This study was performed to evaluate effects of KGS extract on the regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure(MABP) in rats. The result of this study were as follow ; 1. KGS significantly increased rCBF irrelevant to MABP in normal rats, 2. To prescribe KGS after pretreatment with indomethacin(IDN) decreased rCBF as compared with control group to administered only KGS in normal rats. But the change of MABP is not significantly as compared with control group. 3. To prescribe KGS after pretreatment with methylen blue( MTB) decreased MABP and rCBF as compared with control group to administered only KGS in normal rats. Especially, it significantly decreased rCBF. These results suggest that KGS increase rCBF by enlargement diameter of pial artery in brain. The active mechanism of KGS is related with prostaglandin activated by cyclooxygenase. So, I suggest that KGS has an anti-ischemic effect through the improvement of cerebral blood flow and can be used for stroke.

Excessive pronation and impact force during running are related to various running injuries. To prevent these injuries, three type of running shoes are used, such as cushioning, stability, and motion control. Although there were may studies about the effect of midsole hardness on impact force, no study to investigate biomechanical effect of motion control running shoes. The purpose of this study was to determine biomechanical difference between cushioning and motion control shoes during treadmill running. Specifically, plantar and rearfoot motion, impact force and loading rate, and insole pressure distribution were quantified and compared. Twenty male healthy runners experienced at treadmill running participated in this study. When they ran on treadmill at 3.83 m/s. Kinematic data were collected using a Motion Analysis eight video camera system at 240 Hz. Impact force and pressure distribution data under the heel of right foot were collected with a Pedar pressure insole system with 26 sensors at 360 Hz. Mean value of ten consecutive steps was calculated for kinematics and kinetics. A dependent paired t-test was used to compare the running shoes effect (p=0.05). For most kinematics, motion control running shoes reduced the range of rearfoot motion compared to cushioning shoes. Runners wearing motion control shoe showed less eversion angle during standing less inversion angle at heel strike, and slower eversion velocity. For kinetics, cushioning shoes has the effect to reduce impact on foot obviously. Runners wearing cushioning shoes showed less impact force and loading rate, and less peak insole pressure. For both shoes, there was greater load on the medial part of heel compared to lateral part. For pressure distribution, runners with cushioning shoes showed lower, especially on the medial heel.

혈압을 측정하는 방법에는 침습적(Invasive)인 방법과 비침습적(Non-invasive)인 방법이 있는데 침습적인 방법에 의한 혈압측정의 경우 정확한 값을 얻는 반면에 그 사용법이 복잡하고 환자에게 불편하므로 중환자의 경우를 제외한 경우 대부분 비침습적인 방법에 의해 혈압을 측정한다. 현재 전자 혈압계의 경우 대부분이 오실로메트릭(Oscillometric) 방법을 사용하여 기본적인 시스템을 구성하고 여기에 여러 가지 알고리즘을 부가적으로 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서 이러한 혈압 측정 시스템을 개발하기 위해 커프(Cuff)의 압력을 제어, 측정하고 측정된 데이터를 필터링하여 혈압을 측정할 수 있도록 알고리즘을 구성하였다. 통신방식으로는 개발된 시스템의 모든 기능이 개인용 컴퓨터(Personal Computer)와의 통신을 통해 이루어지도록 구성되어져 있으며, 사용된 통신방식은 비동기 직렬 통신 방식(RS-232)인 패킷방식을 사용하였고 솔레노이드(Solenoid) 밸브를 이용한 자동 또는 급속 배기 방법을 이용하여 커프의 압력을 감압(Deflation)하였다. 혈압측정 알고리즘은 기본적인 오실로메트릭 방법과 최대 진폭 알고리즘(Maximum Amplitude Algorithm)을 사용하였다. 최대진폭 알고리즘에서는 측정된 오실레이션(Oscillation)중 최고의 진폭을 가지는 오실레이션 같은 오차의 원인이 되는 연령이나 체중, 팔의 두께에 따라 다양하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 오실레이션의 간에 획일적인 비율을 적용하지 않고 여러 가지 요인들에 대한 가변적인 특정 비율(Characteristic Ratio)반영하여 보다 정확한 최고혈압(Systolic Blood Pressure), 최저혈압(Diastolic Blood Pressure), 평균혈압(Mean Blood Pressure)의 값을 구하는 연구를 하였다. 최고진폭 알고리즘에서 가변적인 특성비율의 적용은 혈압간의 오차를 줄일 수 있을것으로 기대된다.

Objective : Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a serious complication after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). However, the prevalence of CHS has decreased as techniques have improved. This study evaluates the role of strict blood pressure (BP) control for the prevention of CHS. Methods : All 18 patients who received CEA from February 2009 through November 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were routinely managed in an intensive care unit by a same protocol. The cerebral perfusion state was evaluated on the basis of the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) study by perfusion computed tomography (pCT) and mean velocity by transcranial doppler (TCD). BP was strictly controlled (<140/90 mm Hg) for 7 days. When either post-CEA hyperperfusion (>100% increase in the rCBF by pCT or in the mean velocity by TCD compared with preoperative values) or CHS was detected, BP was maintained below 120/80 mm Hg. Results : TCD and pCT data on the patients were analyzed. Ipsilateral rCBF was significantly increased after CEA in the pCT (p=0.049). Post-CEA hyperperfusion was observed in 3 patients (18.7%) in the pCT and 2 patients (12.5%) in the TCD study. No patients developed clinical CHS for one month after CEA. Furthermore, no patients developed additional neurological deficits related to postoperative cerebrovascular complications. Conclusion : Intensive care with strict BP control (<140/90 mm Hg) achieved a low prevalence of post-CEA hyperperfusion and prevented CHS. This study suggests that intensive care with strict BP control can prevent the prevalence of post-CEA CHS.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of localized muscle fatigue and whole body fatigue on postural control during single-leg stance after impairment induced by heel raise and the Harvard step test. Thirty-eight university students (19 men: age, $20.1{\pm}0.2$ yrs; height, $175.0{\pm}5.23cm$; weight, $66.8{\pm}5.6kg$; body mass index, $21.8{\pm}1.7kg/m^2$, 19 women: age, $20.6{\pm}1.1yrs$ ; height, $163.6{\pm}6.7cm$; weight, $58.8{\pm}4.6kg$; body mass index, $22.0{\pm}2.2kg/m^2$) were participated in this study. Subjects performed a series of single-leg postural tasks prior to, following, and 24 hours after completing: heel raise or the Harvard step test. This study showed that the root mean squared distance and velocity in the anteroposterior and mediolateral planes of the center of pressure decreased significantly due to heel raise exercise-induced fatigue. Furthermore, the root mean squared distance in the anteroposterior and mediolateral planes, and the 95% confidence ellipse area of the center of pressure also decreased significantly 24 hours after completing the Harvard step test. In conclusion, this study showed that both heel raise exercise- and Harvard step exercise-induced fatigue affects postural control during single-leg stance in AP and ML planes. Furthermore, this study suggests that changes in the postural control strategy may have occurred after the fatigue protocols during single-leg stance. Also vision can attenuate the postural deficits associated with the fatigues. In order to clarify these results, further studies using other equipment and variables are necessary.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to apply suboccipital muscle inhibition combined with neck muscle stabilization exercise to 20~30s IT industry employees who suffer from chronic non-specific neck pain. Methods: This study was designed as single-blind and randomized controlled trial. The study participants were 20~30s IT industry employees with chonic non-specific neck pain (VAS 3/10) who were divided into an experimental group (n= 20) subjected to suboccipital muscle inhibition with neck muscle stabilization exercise, and control group (n= 20); suboccipital muscle inhibition only. The intervention was applied three times per week for eight weeks. The neck pain·pressure pain threshold·range of motion, and disability index were measured at the 1st, 8th, and 10th week at follow up, then analyzed with an analysis of variance(ANOVA) using the SPSS program. Results: The total number of study participants was 37 (experimental group 19, mean age 34.6±5.3, control group 18, mean age 35.7±4.9). The comparison and analysis of change in VAS, the pressure pain threshold, and the range of motion except the extension (p>.05) revealed a statistically significant decrease between groups over eight weeks and follow up measurement (p<.01). Regarding the within the group differences, the right side of the neck pressure pain threshold showed a statistically significant decrease over eight weeks in the control group (p<.01). The right and left lateral flexion, and the right and left rotation were statistically significant for the experimental group over eight weeks and follow up measurement, but only the left lateral flexion (p<.05) for the control group over eight weeks. The neck disability index showed a slight decrease but this was not satistically significant for the between-grop or the within-group differences (p>.05). Conclusion: The intervention of suboccipital muscle inhibition and a neck muscle stabilization exercise are more beneficial for neck pain and the range of motion than the application of suboccipital muscle inhibition alone.

Spark plug ionization signal could be useful in an internal combustion engine as a feedback signal for combustion diagnostics such as misfire detection, knocking detection and lambda control, but the signal has high level of cyclic fluctuation in an internal combustion engine due to residual gas, pressure, temperature, mixture composition in the spark gap. Because of this reason it is very difficult to apply ion signal to commercial engine control. In this Study, a correlation between A/F and spark plug ionization signal was studied in a constant volume chamber. Constant volume chamber with gas phase fuel(Propane) has homogeneous fuel composition , no mixture flow, same pressure and temperature on each test. The results show that mean chemi-ion signal has the highest correlation with A/F and intial pressure change has on effect on the thermal-ion signal and not on chemi-ion signal.
