  • When traditional flap techniques are not feasible, we apply flap prefabrication, which is more complicated and sophisticated but supplies large and thin flaps. There are some disadvantages to the technique that require improvement, such as venous congestion after flap transfer, which requires months for neoangiogenesis and necessitates a vascular carrier. Here, the author presents a new technique, called as 'microdissected prefabricated flap,' to successfully produce a safe, large, and thin flap. This technique is based on the microdissection of the perforators to the greatest extent possible, spreading them out into the subdermal level and using them as a carrier. The details and the application of this technique are presented and reported.

  • A castrated male, 6 year-old Shih-Tzu, weighing 4.6 kg with a discharge from the external ear canal and a mal-odor was referred to Verterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Seoul National University. Radiographic findings were narrowing and focal loss of an air density in the left ear canal and bilateral thickening of the osseous bullae. For more detail examination, computed tomography was used. In computed tomographic findings, bilateral thickening of the bulla wall and increased opacity of the bulla space were observed. Thus this dog was diagnosed as bilateral otitis media. Then surgical correction, total ear canal ablation, was performed successfully and the patient showed a good prognosis thereafter. It is considered that computed tomography might serve as an useful imaging tool for otitis media and that it supplies information not obtained with a conventional radiography.

  • Titanium Alloys used in this experiment has an good corrosion resistance and specific strength, and is the new material developed for medical supplies living goods. In this study the rolled titanium alloy is done by annealing, solution heat-treatment and aging and then is worked by wire EDM. With changing the process conditions, the process properties of surface hardness, surface roughness, shape of process surface and the analysis of ingredients are measured through experiment repeating main cut and finish cut. It is confirmed to gain good measure values as increasing the number of processing of wire EDM. In this experiment the phenomena of processing is studied and the appropriate process condition is proposed.

  • A smart material is used as spectacle frames and brassiere frames, and partly in medical supplies because of its shape memory effect. The smart composite can be used on the wing of an airplane instead of the existing aluminium to control crack propagation. In this study, the smart composite was fabricated by a hot press method. TiNi alloy as reinforcement and A16061 as matrix were used, respectively. The mechanical properties of the smart composite under thermal shock cycles were evaluated. In addition, Acoustic Emission techniques were also used to clarify the damage behavior of the smart composite under thermal shock cycles nondestructive.

  • The medicine is used for diagnosis, treatment or prevention of disease and consequently has an important influence upon human life and health. Its effectiveness and safety must be guaranteed. In order to achieve the facility that meets GMP, KFDA has provided standards for quality assurance of the manufacture, examination and tests of medical supplies. The result of this study were as follows : the GMP facilities are divided into work, lab/test and storage spaces, and the systematic corridor. The clean rooms are mainly installed in work and lab/test spaces, and maintain class 10,000 in average. The individual space for the procedures that requires class 100 is not provided as a separate division. Instead, they are performed in the clean bench of the laboratory.

  • This paper is a study on the hand gesture recognition using Instance-based teaming, Symbolic learning algorithms and Power Glove which supplies information on finger position, hand position and orientation. The data were carefully examined, and a few features of the data that would serve as good discriminants between signs when used with the learning algorithms were extracted. The hand gesture data collected from 5 people were applied to the teaming algorithms. In spite of the noise and accuracy constraints of the equipment used, some accuracy rates were achieved.

  • 자기 신경자극기는 신경의학, 재활의학을 포함한 많은 임상의학 분야에서 널리 쓰이고 있다. 자기 신경자극기는 전력소모가 크고 고압 전원이 필요한 이유 때문에 단채널 시스템만이 임상환경이나 연구환경에서 쓰여 왔었다. 본 논문에서는 4채널 자기 신경자극기 개발을 소개하였다. 고압 커패시터를 충전하는데 있어서 단계적 충전방식을 사용하여 작은 크기의 직류 전원장치로 다채널 시스템을 구현하였고, 채널별로 서로 다른 자극 프로토콜로 자극 코일을 구동할 수 있는 다채널 제어시스템을 구성하였다. 개발된 시스템은 신경계통 장애가 있는 환자들의 재활이나 자기적인 침술 등 다양한 기능적 자기 자극에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • In order to produce lactic acid and calcium lactate very useful for foods and medical supplies, lactic acid fermentation was studied by Lactobacillus sporogenes, a spore forming lactic acid bacterium. When this bacterium was cultured aerobically in the spore forming medium, the spore forming rate was 96.0% as total cell number 20$\times$108/ml, spore number 19.2$\times$108/ml. One minute agitating every 1 hour in the flask culture, or agitation of 100rpm in the fermenter was most efficient to continue to ferment at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 4days in the fermentation medium containing 10% glucose as carbohydrate and CaCO3 as a neutralizing agent. This homofermentative lactic acid bacterium showed fermentation yield of 99.3% and more than 98.2% of the yield was L(+)-lactic acid.

  • Production of calcium lactate very useful for medical supplies of Ca-therapy was obtained by lactic acid fermentation of lactobacillus sporogenes, a spore forming lactic acid bacterium. Corn steep liquor 1%, soybean enzyme hydrolysate 3%, yeast extract powder 2% can substitute for yeast extract and peptone as nutrient sort traces in fermentation medium using 10% glucose concentration. In the calcium lactate production medium containing yeast extract powder 2%, glucose 18%, CaCO3 12%, the lactic acid fermentation was carried out at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 4days with continuous agitation of 100 rpm. As results, fermentation yield was 97.5%. The five steps such as protein coagulation, decolorizing evaporating, crystallizing, and drying were carried out to harvest calcium lactate from 10l of supernatant of fermented medium to be removed cell and CaCO3. As results, 2065.0g of white crystal calcium lactate dihyrate was recovered and a yield of 84.9% was obtained.

  • For the direct metal shape processing the powder feed device which is different from the widely used in rapid prototyping. is developed, The three dimensional object is shaped with the melting metal powder. The developed research has applied to rapid prototyping in ultraprecision for MEMS and medical science fields required of rapid manufacture of complex shape. The goal of this study make 3D model which has precision accuracy. Powder spreading apparatus has been more improved because that the control of powder spread is very important in layer manufacturing. It consists of the vibration motor, nozzle and tube which supplies various metal powder. This apparatus could control the spreading velocity that could control powder spreading thickness. Laser on/off switch was adapted because laser scanning velocity must be preserved constantly to prevent heat transformation of laser overheating. The error between sintered thickness md experimental one occurred by shrinkage in sintering melting process. The problem of heat transformation was solved by On/Off switching system.
