Out of a total of 58 species of helminthic and protozoan parasitic infections in Korea, so far 38 species were reported as intestinal parasites of man. Quite a few species of the intestinal parasitic infections have long been prevalent throughout the country and this has been a significant public health problem. In this paper, current status and transition of the intestinal parasitic infections in the past years were presented. Chronological reviewing of data show background and prospects of change in the prevalence of infections. In the national prevalence survey on parasitic infections conducted once every five years since 1971, stool examinations were done by both cellophane thick smear and brine flotation techniques. Every egg positive case of Ascaris lumbricoides and Clonorchis sinensis was further examined by Stoll's dilution egg counting technique. In 1981, perianal swab using adhesive cellulose tape was added for Enterobius infection. For protozoan cyst examination conducted by province and city in '81, fecal specimens were fixed in SAF solution and examined by the formalin-ether concentration technique. High prevalence of parasitic infection in ana before the 1960s can be easily understood from the data given by the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs in 1967. From a parasite control point of view, the 1960s was the preparatory period particularly for control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis. Several organizations which have contributed to parasite control were founded in this period and the prevention law of parasitic infections was passed in '66. In the '70s, overall prevalence rates of the common intestinal parasitic infections, which were highly prevalent in the past were turned into reduction phase for the first time. The '80s can be said to be an active control period of parasitic infections. Intestinal helminths According to the reports of the national prevalence survey on parasitic infections, the prevalence of helminthic infections was 84.3%(number of person examined:24,887) in '71, 63.2%(27,178) in '76, and 41.1%(35,018) in '81. By area, the prevalence rate in '81 was 35.1%(20,569) in urban areas and 49.6%(14,447) in rural areas. Intestinal nematodes Ascaris lumbricoides The prevalence of Ascaris infection has decreased significantly in recent years. Among students, the prevalence was 55.4%, in '69 and decreased to 4.7% in '83. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence decreased to 13.0% in '81 from 54.9% in '71. By area, the prevalence decreased to 8.5% in '81 from 46.4% in '71 in urban area and 19.4% in '81 from 59.6% in '71 in rural area. By age, the prevalence has become in recent years relatively even in all age groups, although higher prevalence used to be seen in young age groups of around 10 years old, particulary in the highly prevalent rural areas. By sex, the prevalence was higher in the female than in the male. Unfertilized egg positive rates among the ascariasis cases increased gradually up to 55.4% on the average in '81. The intensity of the infection was also significantly decreased. Trichuris trichiura Trichuris infection had also decreased to 23.4% in '81 from 65.4% in '71. By area, the decreasing tendency of the prevalence became faster in urban areas than in the rural areas. The prevalence in urban and rural areas in '71 was 69.7%, and 63.1% respectively and decreased to 19.5% and 29.0% respectively in '81. By age, the prevalence reached a peak at the 10-14 age group and showed relatively even distribution throughout all age groups. By sex, the prevalence was close in young age groups, but in the 30s or over age group, especially in rural area, the prevalence was significantly higher in the female than in the male. The prevalence has much fluctuated depending in the area. The prevalence in rural areas surveyed in the '80s shows a range between 20.9% and 73.7% by locality. It is anticipated that the prevalence of Trichuris infection will drop more rapidly, when mass treatment is conducted. Hookworms Hookworm infection by mostly Ancylostoma duodenale and a few by Necator americanus has decreased to a negligible levels in recent years. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence was 10.7% in '71, 2.2% in '76, and 0.5% in '81. The prevalence was higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Wide application of multi-specific anthelminthics in the ascariasis control programmes conducted in the past decade appear to have been effective against hookworm infection. Trichostrongylus orientalis As in the case with hookworm infection, the prevalence of Trichostrongylus infection has reached a negligible levels. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence was 7.7% in '71, 1.0% in '76 and 0.2% in '81. Enterobius vermicularis In the national prevalence survey in '81, the egg positive rate was 12.0%. Higher prevalence is expected when examined repeatedly. The prevalence rate was 10.3% in urban area and 14.6% in rural area. In recent surveys conducted in rural areas among schoolchildren, the prevalence was 32.4% in Gimhae Gun in '82 and 64.1% in Yeongyang Gun in '83. By age, the egg positive rate was higher in young age groups of around 10 and sharply decreased in age groups of around 20 and then somewhat increased again in middle age groups. By sex, the prevalence was higher in the female than in the male. Strongyloides stercoralis Strongyloides stercoralis infection has rarely been found in Korea. Three cases were reported in 1914. And 0.1-0.5% were found infected out of 2,642 persons examined at the prisoner-of-war camp on Geojedo in 1956. One case was reported in '54 and '82, respectively. Anisakis spp. No systematic survey has been conducted for anisakiasis In Korea. So far, only several cases have been found 1 case in Seoul in '71, 5 cases in Busan in '81 and 1 case in Busan in '84. Intestinal trematodes Metagonimus yokogawai In the national prevalence survey conducted in 1981, the egg positive rate was 1.24% on the average. High endemic areas are located in the southwestern part of Korea. The prevalence in Hadong Gun was 29.1% on the average in '79. In a survey conducted in 76, the prevalence was 44.0% in Gwangyang, 55.0% in Gogseung and 29.0% in Gurye. The infection is closely correlated with raw sweetfish consumption in these areas. Other intestinal trematodes A human case of Heterophyes heterophyes was reported in 1914. Several species were reported in the '80s : 17 cases of Fibricola seoulensis, 9 cases of Pygidiopsis summa, 8 cases of Heterophyes heterophyes nocens, 1case of Heterophyopsis continua, 2 cases of Stellantchasmus falcatus, 1 case of Stictodora sp., 1 case of Echinostoma hortense, and 4 cases of Echinochasmus japonicus. As the intermediate hosts, snakes and frogs play a role for F.seoulensis and fish for the rest of the species. Intestinal cestodes Taenia saginata and T. solium Egg positive rates in the national prevalence survey were 0.7% in '76 and 1.1% in '81. The prevalence in '81 was 0.6% in urban area and 1.8% in rural area. The proglottid positive rate in Jeju Do was 19.2% on the average. On Udo, Jeju Do in 1983, the egg positive rate among the inhabitants was 2.9%. Hymenolepis nana In the national prevalence survey, egg positive rates were 0.6% in '76 and 0.4% in '81. No difference was seen in the prevalence by area and sex. Hymenolepis diminuta Infected cases were reported : 3 in '64 and I in '66. Egg positive rate in '81 was 0.01% in the national prevalence survey. Diphylobothrium latum So far, about 30 cases have been reported. The cases have been reported more frequently in recent surveys. Mesocestoides sp. A case was reported from a hospitalized patient in Seoul in '67. Spirometra erinacei Two cases were reported in '84 following reidentification of the adult worms collected in '74. Intestinal protozoa Out of a total of 23 species of human protozoan infections in Korea, 13 species were reported as intestinal protozoa : Entamoeba histolytica, E coli, Endolimax nana, Iodamoeba b$\ddot{u}$tschlii, Dientamoeba fragilis, Giardia lamblia, Chilomastix mesnilii, Embadomonas sp., Enteromonas hominis, Trichomonas hominis, Isospora belli, I. Hominis(Sarcocystis hominis), and Balantidium coli. Since the first report on intestinal protozoan infections in 1925, there have been quite a few survey data on the prevalence of the infection. It was found reviewing the data chronologically that up to the early '70s the infection was prevalent around a 30-50%. After that, the protozoan cyst positive rate has shown the tendency of gradual decrease throughout the country. Protozoan cyst survey conducted in Seoul and several provinces in 1981 revealed infection rates of 8.9%(1,310) in Gangweondo, 10.7%(1,703) in Gyenggi Do, 11.7%(1,032) in Jeonra Buk Do, 9.1%(4,116) in Jeonra Nam Do, and 1.4%(5,275) in Seoul. Entamoeba histolytica In the survey conducted by province in '81, the cyst positive rate was 0.8% in Gangweon-do, 0.3% in Gyeonggi Do, 1.4% in both Jeonra Buk Do and Jeonra Nam Do, and 0.2% in Seoul. Giardia lamblia In the survey by province in '81, cyst positive rates were 2.2% in both Gyeonggi Do and Jeonra Buk Do, 1.9% in Jeonra Nam Do, 0.5% in Gangweon Do, and 0.9% in Seoul. Balantidium coli Two cases were reported. One in 1930 and the other in '74. Isospora belli and I. Hominis(Sarcocystis hominis) Isospora belli was reported : 1 case in '56 and 3 cases in '66. I. Hominis, recently identified to be synonymous with Sarcocystis hominis, was reported : 3 cases in '66. Other intestinal protozoa The protozoan parasites other than the above mentioned are generally treated as commensal, although some of them are considered to be pathogenic. The data of '81 show that about 10% of the inhabitants are still infected with protozoa.

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.

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.

Fe-NTA는 전립선에 산화 스트레스를 일으킨다고 보고되어 있으며, 본 연구자는 랫드에 항산화 효과가 있다고 알려진 차전초잎 추출물(P. asiatica leaf extract, PLE)올 1, 2 또는 4 g/kg body weight (b.w.) 1주일간 경구 투여하고 ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA)의 복강 주사로 전립선에 손상을 일으킨 후 차전초가 전립선에서 산화 스트레스를 얼마나 억제하여 주는지를 항산화 바이오 마커들인 reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR) 및 지질과산화물의 척도인 malondialdehyde (MDA)를 통해서 측정하였다. 전립선 기능 이상 시 증가되는 GSH 및 GR은 아무것도 처리하지 않은 대조군(193.84${\pm}$37.78 mmol/g tissue, 31.32${\pm}$3.85)에 비해 Fe-NTA로 산화스트레스를 유발한 그룹에서 101.89${\pm}$24.31, 15.74${\pm}$2.92mmol/g tissue 48%의 감소를 나타낸다. 반면 PLE 1 g/kg b.w.을 투여한 그룹에서는 GSH 및 GR 수치가 119.01${\pm}$1.23 mmol/g tissue와 19.24${\pm}$0.53 mmol/g tissue, 2 g/kg b.w.을 투여한 그룹에서는 150.80${\pm}$34.11 mmol/g tissue와 19.17${\pm}$3.31 mmol/g tissue 마지막으로 4 g/kg b.w. 투여 그룹에서는 182.99${\pm}$10.89와 26.88${\pm}$4.40 mmol/g tissue로 Fe-NTA만 처리한 그룹에 비해 농도 의존적으로 GSH와 GR 함량이 회복되는 경향을 보이며, 이는 GSH 함량이 농도에 따라 약 l.2, 1.5, 1.8배 증가, GR 함량이 약 1.2, 1.22, 1.7배 증가한 것이다. 이렇듯 정자 보호와 전립선 조직 세포 보호에 관련이 있는 GSH와 GR값이 유의적 차이로 회복되는 결과에 따라 PLE의 전립선 보호 효과를 확인하였다. 또한, 항산화의 또 다른 바이오 마커인 GST 값은 아무것도 처리하지 않은 그룹 96.11${\pm}$6.23 mmol/g tissue에 비해 Fe-NTA 만 처리한 그룹 53.29${\pm}$11.45 mmol/g tissue이 약 45% 정도 감소하였지만, PLE 1, 2 또는 4 g/kg b.w.을 투여 한 그룹에서 각각 65.74${\pm}$9.79 mmol/g tissue, 76.54${\pm}$4.44 mmol/g tissue, 91.66${\pm}$5.53 mmol/g tissue의 값을 나타내며 Fe-NTA에 의해 생성된 산화 스트레스의 자유라디칼을 효과적으로 억제함을 확인하였다. 또한, 전립선에서 철 이온에 의해 유도된 산화스트레스에 의해 발생된 지질과산화물을 측정하였을 때 Fe-NTA에 의해 산화 스트레스만 유발한 그룹은 192.74${\pm}$33.20mmol/g tissue로 대조군 그룹의 75.66${\pm}$14.90 mmol/g tissue 보다 2.55배 높은 MDA를 생성한 것으로 지질과산화가 많이 일어난 것을 확인하였으나, PLE 1, 2 또는 4 g/kg을 투여한 그룹의 MDA의 생성량은 137.84${\pm}$23.29, 125.16${\pm}$16.69, 85.98${\pm}$5.12 mmol/g tissue로 약 29%, 35%, 55% 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 랫드의 전립선에서, 독성을 유발하는 Fe-NTA를 투여 후 PLE를 투여하였을 때 전립선 인지질 막의 손상지표인 MDA의 농도 의존적 감소와 항산화 및 정자 보호의 전립선 기능의 지표인 GSH, GR의 값이 증가하였다. 위의 결과들을 종합하였을 때, 우리는 Fe-NTA가 전립선에서 산회스트레스를 유발하고, 전립선 인지질 막의 손상을 줄 수 있으며, PLE는 이러한 전립선 손상을 항산화 효과를 기본으로 하여 전립선 보호 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

단 반감기 핵종을 이용한 PET검사는 방사성동위원소의 빠른 물리적 붕괴로 인하여 영상 획득을 위한 계수검출이 제한적이다. 이러한 이유로 비교적 낮은 감도의 검사에서는 보다 정확한 정량적 평가를 위하여 긴 시간동안 영상 획득을 적용하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 $^{11}C$와 $^{18}F$를 이용한 PET 검사 시 영상 획득 시간에 따른 차이를 평가하여 합리적인 영상 획득 시간에 관하여 알아보고자 한다. 1994 NEMA Phantom에 $^{11}C$은 $30.08{\pm}4.22MBq$, $^{18}F$은 $40.08{\pm}8.29MBq$을 증류수에 희석하여 채운 후 $^{11}C$은 동적영상 1분씩 20회, 정적 영상 20분, $^{18}F$은 동적영상 2분30초씩 20회, 정적영상 50분을 획득하였다. 모든 데이터는 동일한 재구성법을 적용하였으며, 시간의 경과에 따른 붕괴보정을 적용하였다. 방출영상에 관심영역을 설정하고 최대 방사능 농도값(kBq/mL)을 비교하였으며, 각각의 동적영상을 영상 획득 시간의 증가에 따라 1개씩 증가시켜 영상 합산(Image summation) 후 영상의 관심 영역 내에서의 최대 방사능 농도값(kBq/mL)을 평가하였다. $^{11}C$ 동적영상의 시간 경과에 따른 최대 방사능 농도값은 $3.85{\pm}0.45{\sim}5.15{\pm}0.50kBq/mL$, 정적영상은 $2.15{\pm}0.26kBq/mL$였다. $^{18}F$ 동적영상은 $9.09{\pm}0.42{\sim}9.48{\pm}0.31kBq/mL$, 정적영상은 $7.24{\pm}0.14kBq/mL$였다. $^{11}C$의 동적영상 합산에서 영상 획득 시간의 합이 5, 10, 15, 20분으로 증가할수록 $2.47{\pm}0.4$, $2.22{\pm}0.37$, $2.08{\pm}0.42$, $1.95{\pm}0.55kBq/mL$으로 감소하였으며, $^{18}F$의 경우 합산된 영상 획득 시간의 합이 12분 30초, 25분, 37분 30초, 50분으로 증가할수록 $7.89{\pm}0.27$, $7.61{\pm}0.23$, $7.36{\pm}0.21$, $7.31{\pm}0.23kBq/mL$으로 감소하였다. 영상의 질을 평가 하는 SNR에서는 $^{11}C$과 $^{18}F$ 모두 동적영상획득 방법에서는 주사 후 시간이 흐를수록 SNR가 저하 되었으나, 영상 합산획득 방법에서는 합산 횟수가 증가 할수록 SNR가 향상 되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 동적영상에서 시간 경과에 따른 최대 방사능 농도값은 $^{11}C$과 $^{18}F$에서 증가하였고, 동적영상 합산의 경우는 합산수가 증가함에 따라 최대 방사능 농도값은 $^{11}C$과 $^{18}F$ 감소함을 보였다. $^{18}F$을 이용할 경우에는 시간 경과에 따른 정량평가의 오차를 크게 고려하지 않아도 될 것으로 사료되고, $^{11}C$를 이용한 PET 검사는 시간경과에 따른 감쇠 보정의 오차를 감안하여 추가의 감쇠 보정법을 적용하거나 30%정도의 오차를 적용하여 정적영상 획득시간을 반감기의 25% 이내인 5분 내외로 설정해야 할 것이다.

해상어류가두리양식장의 양식 활동이 해양환경에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 통영주변의 해상어류가두리양식장(Site A)에서 해수유동, 퇴적물, 저서동물 및 트랩 등의 현장조사와 수치모델-DEPOMOD를 이용하여 가두리양식장의 고형물 침강량 예측과 적정 고형물 침강량 산정으로 해상가두리양식장의 환경관리 방안을 제시하였다. 조사대상인 Site A 해상어류가두리양식장의 입식 어종은 common sea bass(Lafeolabrax japonicus), red seabream(Pagrus major), striped breakperch(Oplegnathus fasciatus) 등 4종이고, 입식량은 227,800미 (23.1MT) 였다. 가두리양식장의 입식밀도는 $43.0kg\;m^{-2}(6.1kg\;m^{-3})$ 이고, 사료투여 량은 $30.8g\;kg^{-1}day^{-1}(1.32kg\;m^{-2}day^{-1})$ 이였다. Site A 가두리양식장 중심의 저층 퇴적물의 ORP, AVS, COD, 탄소 및 질소 농도는 각각 -334.6mV, $0.43mg\;g^{-1}dry,\;17.75mg\;g^{-l}dry,\;10.19mg\;g^{-1}dry$ 및 $3.49mg\;g^{-1}dry$ 였다. 저서동물은 Capitella capitata가 $57.8\%$로 우점하였고, Infaunal Trophical Index(ITI)는 가두리 가장자리에서 20m 거리 내까지 20 이하로 나타났다. 트랩조사 결과 Site A의 고형물 침강량은 0m에서 $34,485g\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$, 42m지점에서 $18,915g\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$침강하는 것으로 나타났다 모델 예측 결과 Site A의 사료 미섭이율은 $40\%$, 연간 고형물 침강량은 63,401 kg으로 연간 사료 급이량의 $24.4\%$이고, 고형물 침강 면적은 $8,450m^2$으로 가두리 시설 면적의 16배인 것으로 예측되었다. ITI와 저서동물의 풍도를 통한 Site A의 지속 가능한 고형물 침강량은 $10,000g\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ 이하 인 것으로 예측되었다. 가두리양식장에서 고형물 침강량의 주 요인은 높은 미섭이율이고, 고형물 침강량을 최소화 하기 위해서는 사료 섭이효율을 높여주어야 한다. 모델에 따르면 미섭이율을 $40\%$에서 $10\%$로 줄이면 고형물 침강량이 1/2 수준으로 감소되는 것으로 예측되었고, 습사료, 생사료의 사용 대신에 배합사료(EP)를 사용할 경우 $57\%$정도 침강량이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 가두리양식장의 허가면적에 대한 시설 면적비는 $5\%$미만이 적정한 것으로 판단된다.

2010년까지 국내 논에서 설포닐우레아(sulfonylurea : SU)계 제초제들에 대한저항성잡초로 확인된 잡초들 1998년도에 충남서산 간척지 논에서 물옥잠이 확인이후 일년생 물달개비, 올챙이고랭이, 알방동사니 등 7초종, 다년생 올미, 새섬매자기 등 다년생 잡초 3초종이 발생하여 총 10초종이다. 그리고 2009년 ACCase 및 ALS 저해제들에 대한 저항성 피가 담수직파 논의 서 남부지역에서 처음 확인되었다. 초기에는 SU계 제초제들에 대한 저항성잡초들인 물달개비, 올챙이고랭이, 알방동사니 등은 하나의 논 필지에 하나의 초종들이 발생을 하였으나 최근에는 하나의 필지에 다수의 초종들이 동시적으로 발생하고 있다. 2008년도에 전국 861필지의 논에서 채취한 토양에서 발생하고 있는 물달개비 및 올챙이고랭이의 저항성 비율은 각각 42% 및 23%로 나타났다. 저항성잡초들의 생체중을 50% 억제한 농도($GR_{50}$)는 저항성 계통이 감수성 계통에 비해 수 십배에서 수 천배 높게 나타났다. ACCase 및 ALS 저해 제초제들인 cyhalofopbutyl, pyriminobac-methyl, penoxsulam 저항성 강피에 대한 저항성 계통의 $GR_{50}$은 감수성 계통에 비해 각각 14, 8, 11배나 높게 나타났다. 한국의 논에서 제초제 저항성의 다발생과 확산의 원인은 크게 잡초측면과 제초제 측면으로 구분할 수 있다. 잡초측면에서는 종자생산량과 발아율이 높은 잡초들 즉 물달개비, 올챙이고랭이 등이 저항성잡초로 변화한다. 그리고 제초제 측면은 저항성잡초 유발의 원인인 선택성이 탁월하고 약효지속성이 매우 긴 SU계 제초제들의 광범위한 사용이다. SU계 제초제들의 생산 품목들과 처리 논 면적의 비율은 각각 69%와 96%이다. 그리고 2003년까지 처리면적으로 본 선호도 10위까지 제초제들은 대부분 SU계 제초제들이 혼합된 "일발처리제"들이다. 직파재배 논에서 ACCase 및 ALS들이 혼합된 제초제들의 연용은 제초제 저항성 피를 유발하였고, 이는 피에 효과적인 SU계 제초제들인 pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 및 imazosulfuron과 무관하지 않다. SU계 제초제들에 대한 물옥잠의 저항성 계통의 $I_{50}$은 감수성 계통에 비해서 14배에서 76배 높았는데, 이는 제초제의 흡수 및 이행에 의한 차이보다는 ALS 유전자의 점 돌연변이(point mutation)에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 즉 ALS 유전자 아미노산 197번째 proline이 serine로 변화되었기 때문이다. 제초제 저항성잡초 방제로 benzobicyclone, bromobutide 등은 광엽 및 방동사니과 잡초들을 동시에 방제가 가능하다. 그리고 ACCase 및 ALS 저항성 피의 방제는 mefenacet, fentrazamide, cafenstrole로 2엽기까지 방제가 가능하다. 그러나 앞으로 국내 논에서 제초제 저항성잡초 및 관리에 대해서는 많은 문제점들을 내포하고 있다. 첫째, 현재까지 제초제 저항성 유발 약제들인 ALS 및 ACCase 저해제들의 사용량이 증가하기 때문에 제초제 저항성 잡초들은 계속 발생할 뿐만 아니라 더욱 빠른 속도로 확산할 것이다. 둘째, 미국, 유럽, 호주 등 선진국들과 같은 제초제 저항성잡초를 연구할 수 있는 전문 연구기관과 인력이 부족하다.

울산광역시의 도시 여중생 129명과 울주군의 농촌의 여중생 182명을 대상으로 하여 혈액검사와 설문지를 통해 연구 대상자의 일반적인 사항, 식사 섭취량, 식생활 태도와 식습관들을 조사하고 혈액검사를 통해 혈액성분을 분석하여 도시와 농촌을 비교 분석하였다. 도시 여중생의 평균 신장은 157.8$\pm$4.9 cm, 농촌이 157.7$\pm$5.1 cm이며 체중은 도시가 51.7$\pm$10.3 kg이고 농촌이 51.9$\pm$9.2 kg이었다. 체질량지수(BMI)는 도시가 20.7$\pm$3.3, 농촌이 20.8$\pm$3.2으로 모두 정상범위에 속하고, PIBW(percent ideal body weight)는 도시가 100.3$\pm$13.2%, 농촌이 100.6$\pm$13.4%으로 신체발달지수면에서는 도시와 농촌의 차이가 없었다. 대상자의 식사시간의 규칙성에 대한 질문에는 도시여중생의 경우 '불규칙적이다(19명)'와 '대체로 불규칙적이다(28명)'로 응답한 학생이 47명으로 전체의 36.4%에 해당하였으며, 농촌여중생은 '대체로 불규칙적이다', '불규칙적이다'로 대답한 학생이 83명으로 전체의 47.7%로 조사되어, 농촌 여중생이 도시 보다 불규칙적인 식습관을 갖는 것으로 드러났다. 대상자의 식습관 문제점에 대한 질문에는 '맵고 짠 음식을 선호한다'와 '식사시간이 불규칙적이다'라고 응답한 대상자가 농촌여중생이 도시여중생보다 유의적으로 높게 조사되었다. 대상자의 식품군별 섭취빈도를 비교해보면 농촌여중생이 도시 여중생보다 우유$.$유제품(p<0.001), 김치(p<0.05), 두부, 된장, 콩류(p<0.001)의 섭취빈도가 낮게 조사되었다. 대상자의 총 열량 섭취량을 보면 도시 여중생은 영양권장량의 82.0%, 농촌여중생은78.6%에 불과하여 열량섭취가 권장량에 못 미치는 것으로 조사되었으며, 농촌여중생의 섭취가 약간 낮았으나 도시 여중생과 유의적인 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 단백질 평균 섭취량은 도시 여중생은 권장량의 95.2%를 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 농촌여 중생은 권장량의 86.4%에 해당되어 도시보다 유의적으로(p<0.05) 낮은 섭취수준을 나타내었다. 철의 섭취량은 도시여중생이 권장량 대비 89.8%, 농촌이 80.9%를 나타내고, 칼슘은 도시여중생이 권장량 대비 78.5%, 농촌이 68.8%로서 가장 부족된 섭취를 하는 영양소로 조사되었다. 도시와 농촌의 영양소 섭취량을 비교하여 보면 지방, 탄수화물, 총열량을 제외한 모든 영양소에서 농촌이 도시보다 유의적으로 낮은 영양소 섭취수준을 보이는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구에서의 hemoglobin 농도는 도시지역은 13.28 g/dL, 농촌지역은 12.51 g/dL로 농촌여중생이 유의적으로 낮은 수치를 나타내었으며 hematocrit치는 도시 37.82%, 농촌 38.13%로 도시와 농촌간에 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 빈혈 기준인 12 g/dL미만을 기준으로 평가한 빈혈빈도를 살펴보면, 도시지 역 여중생 이 6.1%이었고, 농촌지역 여중생은 34.6%으로 농촌이 도시보다 유의적으로 높게 조사되었다. 본 연구결과 농촌여중생이 도시 여중생보다 hemoglobin농도와 RBC수가 유의적으로 낮은 것으로 조사되었고, hemoglobin농도로 평가한 빈혈비율이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다 이의 원인으로 도시여중생에 비해 농촌여중생의 낮은 영양섭취상태, 낮은 식품군별 섭취빈도, 불규칙 한 식사습관이 원인으로 지적될 수 있겠다. 여중생의 경우 급격한 신체 성장과 월경으로 인한 혈액 손실 등으로 철요구량은 매우 높으므로 이시기의 철영양상태의 향상을 위한 영양교육과 함께 철영양상태가 심각한 경우에는 식사조절과 함께 철보충제의 복용이 반드시 필요하다고 본다. 앞으로도 여중생의 철영양상태 파악을 위해 농촌지역을 포함한 다양한 지역으로 확대하여 매년 계속적인 검사를 통하여 빈혈빈도를 파악하여 대상에 맞는 적절한 영양교육 및 홍보가 이루어져야 할 것으로 본다.

황금약침제제(黃芩藥鍼製劑)의 안정성(安定性) 및 효능(效能)에 관한 연구(硏究)하기 위해, 약침제제(藥鍼製劑)들은 황금(黃芩)을 원료(原料)로 하여 전탕(煎蕩) 여과(濾過) 희석(稀釋)의 방법으로 제조(製造)하였다. 황금약침제제(黃芩藥鍼製劑)들은 랫트의 족삼리 근육에 반복투여(反復投與)하여 아급성(亞急性) 독성(毒性) 및 효능(效能)을 조사(調査)하였고, 대조군(對照群) 주사용(注射用) 생리식염수(生理食鹽水)와 연유수(燕溜水)의 매체대조군(媒體對照郡) 침자재군(鍼刺栽郡)을 설정하여 비교(比較)하였다. 1. 랫트에 황금약침제제(黃芩藥鍼製劑)들을 0.2cc 근육투여(筋肉投與)한 결과(結果) 대조군(對照群)과 시험군(試驗群)에서 1마리도 사망하지않았고, 일반증상(一般症狀) 및 부검소견(剖檢所見)에서도 특별한 이상이 발견(發見)되지 않았다. 또한 검액(檢液) 황금약침제제(黃芩藥鍼製劑)들 각각을 랫트에 반복 약침(藥鍼) 시술(施術)하여 체중변화(體重變化) 장기중량(臟器重量) 및 혈액생화학적(血液生化學的) 검사등(檢査等)을 실험(實驗)한 결과(結果), 검액(檢液)에 기인한 독성증상(毒性症狀)은 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 시험군(試驗群)에 사용한 황금약침제제(黃芩藥鍼製劑)은 안전성(安全性)에는 문제가 없는 것으로 사료되었다. 2. 경시적(輕視的) 체중변화(體重變化)의 결과(結果)에서 침자재군(鍼刺栽郡)(acupuncture)은 시술(施術) 3일후(日後)부터 p-value가 <0.05, 7일(日)부터는 p-value가 <0.001로 유의성(有意性)이 있는 체중감소(體重減少)가 나타났고, 9일후(日後)에는 모든 시험군(試驗群)이 체중(體重) 증가(增加)가 억제되었다. 3. 장기중량(臟器重量)에 대한 결과(結果)에서 D-2군(群)과 생리식염수군군(生理食鹽水群)은 간장중량(肝臟重量)이 통계적(統計的) 유의성(有意性)을 보이고 있는데 침자재(鍼刺栽)의 경우 간장(肝臟)과 비장(脾臟)에서 유의(有意)한 결과(結果)를 얻었다. 이러한 결과(結果) 효능면(效能面)에서 약침(藥鍼)의 침(鍼)과 약(藥)이 효과(效果)에서 침(鍼)의 효과(效果)가 우선하고 있다고 추측되어진다. 4. 약침(藥鍼) 시술군(施術群)에 대한 혈액생화학적(血液生化學的) 검사(檢査)는 GLU, T.G., CHOL에 대해 조사하였는데, glucose에 대한 영향(影響)은 황금약침제제(黃芩藥鍼製劑) ${\times}$10군(群)에서 대조군(對照群)에 비해 유의성(有意性) 있는 감소를 확인할 수 있었고, 황금약침제제(黃芩藥鍼製劑) ${\times}$100군(群), Distillation-2군(群), 생리식염수군군(生理食鹽水群)에서는 대조군(對照群)에 비해 유의성(有意性) 있는 증가(增加)를 확인할 수 있었고, 모든 시술군(施術群)에서 CHOL의 유의성(有意性)있는 감소(減少)를 보였고, T.G는 황금약침제제(黃芩藥鍼製劑)와 복합주사제군(複合注射劑群)를 제외한 모든 시술군(施術群)에서 통계학적(統計學的) 유의성(有意性)이 있었는데, 황금약침제제(黃芩藥鍼製劑)를 희석(稀釋)한 황금수액희석제제군(黃芩水液稀釋製劑群)에서 유의성(有意性)있는 감소가 일어나는 것을 확인(確認)할 수 있었다. 농도와는 관계없이 황금약침제제(黃芩藥鍼製劑)들이 함유하고 있는 성분상호간(成分相互間)의 작용에 의해서 T.G.가 감소(減少)된다고 생각되어진다. 또한 침자재군(鍼刺栽群)에서도 T.G.를 감소시키는 유의성있는 흥미로운 결과(結果)를 얻을수 있었다. 5. 혈액학적(血液學的) 검사결과(檢査結果)는 과립구(顆粒球)에서 황금수액제제(黃芩水液製劑)만을 제외한 모든 시술군(施術群)에서 유의성(有意性)있는 증가(增加)를 보였으며, 황금수액희석제제군(黃芩水液稀釋製劑群)들에서의 과립구(顆粒球)는 매우 유의적(有意的)인 증가(增加)(p-value가 <0.001)를 보였다. 침자재군(鍼刺栽群)은 과립구(顆粒球)와 평균혈구용적(平均血球容積)에서 통계적(統計的) 유의성(有意性)이 인정되었다.
