이 연구는 지리산에 서식하는 반달가슴곰의 동면일과 동면기간 동안의 기온과의 관계를 밝히기 위해 조사되었다. 조사 결과, 동면 시작일은 평균 12월 7일이었으며, 동면 해제일은 4월 20일로 나타났으며, 출산한 암컷의 동면일은 $167.8{\pm}22.6$일이었다. 동면 5일 전의 기온은 $0.6{\pm}4.1^{\circ}C$였고, 동면 기간 동안 기온은 $1.3{\pm}2.6^{\circ}C$, 동면 해제 5일 전의 기온은 $12.6{\pm}3.1^{\circ}C$이 있다. 수컷과 출산을 하지 않은 암컷의 동면일은 각각 $113.6{\pm}25.8$일, $120.4{\pm}25.7$일이었으며, 이들 그룹의 동면 5일 전의 평균 기온은 각각 $-1.8{\pm}3.9^{\circ}C$, $2.1{\pm}4.2^{\circ}C$, 동면기간의 기온은 $-0.4{\pm}2.4^{\circ}C$, $-0.2{\pm}1.6^{\circ}C$, 동면 해제 5일전의 기온은 $7.8{\pm}4.4^{\circ}C$, $7.8{\pm}3.6^{\circ}C$였다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 새끼를 출산한 암컷은 출산을 하지 않은 암컷과 수컷에 비해 동면 일수와 기온은 높은 것으로 나타났는데 이는 동면기간 새끼를 양육하는 과정에서 발생한 것이라 판단된다. 생애주기별 그룹에 대한 동면일수와 평균기온은 각 그룹간의 평균적인 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이번 연구를 통해 지리산에 서식하는 반달가슴곰의 구체적인 동면시기와 동면기간의 기온에 대해서 파악할 수 있었으며, 기온에 따른 성별, 출산한 암컷, 생애주기 그룹간의 어떠한 차이가 있는지 등 동면기 고유 행동특성이 밝혀졌다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다. 이러한 결과는 국제적 멸종위기종인 반달가슴곰의 겨울과 봄 시기에 인간과의 충돌방지와 보전 관리계획 수립 시 널리 활용될 것이다.

본 연구는 매년 C. polykrikoides 적조에 의해 발생하는 양식 어류 폐사의 피해를 최소화하기 위해 적조시기 참돔의 절식과 밀도의 영향을 조사하였다. 해상가두리($11m{\times}11m{\times}5m$)에서 섭식-고밀도(F-HD), 절식-고밀도(S-HD), 절식-저밀도(S-LD) 세 그룹으로 구분하여 5주간의 절식 후 4주간의 먹이공급을 통해 참돔의 생존율, 성장, 성장회복 그리고 혈액학적 변화를 조사한 결과, 생존율은 F-HD에서 85.5%로 가장 낮았고, S-LD는 97.3%로 높은 생존율을 보였다. 5주간의 절식기간 동안 두절식구는 전장, 체중 성장률에서 마이너스 성장을 보여 섭식구와 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 하지만 먹이 재공급 후두 절식구 모두 성장회복을 보였다. 특히 S-LD는 먹이 재공급 기간 동안 빠른 성장회복을 통해 보상성장 경향을 보였으며, 섭식구와 유의한 차이를 나타냈다(P<0.05). ALB, TCHO, TP, TG 혈액분석을 통한 실험구의 영양상태는 절식구에서 섭식구에 비해 유의하게 감소하였지만 먹이 공급 후 실험개시 시 수준으로 빠르게 회복하였다. 스트레스와 생리활성 지표인 Ht, Hb, AST, ALT 그리고 GLU가 적조 노출 후 F-HD에서 동일한 시기에 급격히 상승하여, 적조시기 섭식, 고밀도 사육환경은 양식어류에게 더 민감한 사육환경으로 작용할 것으로 여겨진다. 따라서 본 연구의 적조시기 절식과 밀도에 따른 생존율, 성장회복, 혈액성상을 통한 결과를 토대로, 적조 노출에 따른 절식과 밀도 조절이 사육어류 관리방안을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

천연물 유래 저분자 펩타이드들은 항산화, 고혈압 완화, 면역조절, 진통완화 및 항균작용 등 생리활성이 있는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 본 연구는 연산오계육 단백질을 상업용 프로티아제(alcalase, bromelain, flavourzyme, neutrase, papain, protamex)를 이용하여 저분자 펩타이드를 생산하고 항산화 활성(DPPH 소거능, 슈퍼옥사이드 라디칼 소거능, 하이드록시 라디칼 소거능 및 금속 킬레이션 능력), 펩타이드의 구성 아미노산 및 분자량을 분석하였다. 효소반응은 효소반응기에 다진 오계육 슬러리 50 g와 단백질 효소 2%(w/v)를 넣고 pH 6 와 온도 $60^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 2시간 반응을 하였다. 반응 후 가수분해도(%)의 범위는 $36.65{\pm}4.10%$에서 $70.75{\pm}5.29%$ 사이의 범위를 보여주었는데 protamex의 가수분해도는 46.3%로 가장 높았으며, papain hydrolysate가 $70.75{\pm}5.29%$로 가장 높은 값을 보여주었으며, 반면에 alcalase hydrolysate가 $36.65{\pm}4.10%$로 가장 낮은 값을 보여주었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 bromelain 처리 저분자 펩타이드가 가장 높게 나타났고, alcalase 처리 펩타이드에서 소거능이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 슈퍼옥사이드 라디칼 소거능 역시 bromelain 처리 저분자 펩타이드가 50% 이상의 가장 높은 라디칼 소거능을 보여주었다. 하이드록시 라디칼 소거능은 약 16.73에서 69.16% 사이의 분포를 보여 주었는데 bromelain 처리 저분자 펩타이드에서 가장 높게 나타났다. $Fe^{2+}$ 킬레이션 능력은 약 17.85에서 47.84% 사이의 분포를 보여 주었다. hydrolysate들의 킬레이션 능력은 사용 효소들에 상관없이 큰 차이점이 없었다. 아미노산의 분석결과 alcalase, bromelain, flavourzyme, neutrase, papain, protamex 효소 가수분해 시켰을 때 차이점을 보여 주었고 가장 많은 아미노산은 glutamic acid이었다. 효소 hydrolysate들의 분자량의 분포는 처리 효소에 따라 분자량의 분포가 다르게 나타났지만 300-2,000 Da 범위에 있었다.

기후변화로 인한 이상기온 현상으로 전 세계적으로 자연재해와 피해가 점차 증가하고 있다. 이는 저온성작물로 알려진 감자 생산에 악영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 향후 식량안보작물로서의 감자의 역할은 증대될 것으로 예상되지만, 감자에 대한 기후변화의 영향과 대응책은 충분히 확립되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 폭염처리에 따른 감자의 피해 양상을 분석하고, 품종별 반응을 평가하여 이상고온 환경에 대응하는 감자의 안정 재배기술을 확립하고자 수행하였다. 폭염처리(35~37℃)는 한여름(7월) 비닐하우스를 밀폐하여 처리하였으며, 대조구와 비교하여 감자의 수량 및 품질 특성을 비교하였다. 폭염처리를 했을 때 총 수량과 상서수량 및 주당 괴경수는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 폭염처리 시 자영 품종은 대조구에 비해 상서수량(>80g)이 84% 감소하여 고온 피해가 컸으며, 조풍 품종은 36%로 감소폭이 적었다. 괴경 생리장해(이차생장, 열개, 기형)는 폭염구에서 전반적으로 증가하는 경향이었다. 열개 발생률이 가장 적은 품종은 '조풍'이었다. 폭염처리 하에서 괴경은 길어졌는데, 이는 감자의 상품성이 낮아지는 것을 의미한다. 괴경의 경도와 건물률은 폭염 처리를 받았을 때 유의하게 낮아 지는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 폭염 조건에서 감자 재배 시 수량 감소와 품질 피해를 입으며, 폭염 적응성이 높은 품종은 '조풍'이었다. 이상의 연구 결과는 감자 재배 농가 및 내서성 품종 육종 등에 기초 자료로 사용될 수 있을 거라 판단된다.

이 실험에 사용한 부갑상선의 상피 세포막모델은 PS-DVB(polystyrene-diviny lbenzene)로서 술폰화 혼성 중합 막으로 제조한 이온투과성 고분자막이며 이 고분자막(세포막모델)을 이용하여 고에너지 엑스선(6MV X선)을 조사할 때 막의 수분흡수율 차이, 고정전달자(SO₃^2-)의 농도 차이, 초기 pH 차이, OH^-이온의 농도 차이가 세포의 내부·외부 사이에서 칼슘이온(Ca²⁺)의 농도 차이로 나타나게 되고 그 영향으로 부갑상선호르몬의 분비량과 생성량의 차이로 발생하게 되는데 이런 영향을 구명하기 위해서 상피세포의 세포막을 통한 칼슘이온(Ca²⁺)의 초기 병류성과 항류성 투과전달 특성에 관하여 연구를 하게 되였다. 36.5℃로 고정된 상피세포의 고분자 막(세포막모델)을 방사선을 조사할 때 막의 수분흡수율 차이로 인해서 고정전달자(SO₃^2-)의 농도변화가 비 조사된 세포막모델보다 약 2.17배 정도 감소하였고 고정전달자(SO₃^2-)의 농도 차이, 초기 pH 차이, OH-이온의 농도 차이에 따라서 혈중 칼슘이온(Ca²⁺)의 초기 병류성과 항류성 전달속도 변화가 비조사된 세포막모델보다 각각 약 2.68배 ~ 6.87배, 약 1.42배 ~ 1.63배, 약 2.07 ~ 1.67배 정도 감소하였다. 결국, 방사선 조사로 인해서 부갑상선의 상피 세포막에서 혈중 칼슘이온(Ca²⁺)의 초기 병류성과 항류성 전달속도변화가 비정상적으로 되어 상피세포의 장애가 발생하고 부갑상선호르몬의 분비량과 생성량 감소도 동반하게 되었다고 추론되었다.

Cladobotryum mycophilum에 의해 발생하는 솜털곰팡이병은 양송이버섯 재배에서 문제가 되는 대표적인 병해이다. 본 연구에서는 솜털곰팡이병의 생물학적 방제법에 이용할 수 있는 길항미생물의 항균활성과 선발된 길항미생물의 생물검정 및 적정배양 조건을 설정하였다. 재배중인 양송이버섯 배지에서 솜털곰팡이병 병원균을 강하게 억제하는 길항세균 HC7을 선발하였으며, 생리·생화학적 실험과 유전적 실험결과 HC7균주는 Bacillus altitudinis로 동정되었다. B. altitudinis HC7을 양송이버섯에 처리한 결과 78.2%의 방제효과를 보였다. 따라서 B. altitudinis HC7이 양송이버섯 솜털곰팡이병 방제를 위해 합성농약을 대체할 수 있는 친환경 방제제가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. HC7균주의 생장온도는 25~35℃, pH는 6.0 이상에서 왕성한 생장을 보였다. 대량배양을 위한 효율적인 영양원 선발을 위하여 기본배지에 탄소원 fructose 등 18종, 무기질소원 NH4Cl 등 6종, 유기질소원 peptone 등 6종 그리고 아미노산 asparagine 등 11종을 각각 1%씩 첨가하였고, 무기염류 13종을 첨가하여 각각에 대한 생장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 선발된 각각의 영양성분들에 대한 최적 농도를 조사하기 위하여 각각의 성분을 최소 0.1%에서 최대 4.0%까지 배지에 첨가하여 배양 후 생장정도를 조사하였다. 대량배양을 위한 생육 조건은 온도 30℃, pH 6, 탄소원 3% Soluble startch, 유기질소원 10% Soytone, 무기질소원 1% (NH₄)₂HPO₄, 아미노산 0.5% Lasparagin 그리고 무기염류는 1.0 mmol KCl에서 왕성한 생장을 보였다.

2000년 12월부터 담수를 시작한 용담호는 총 저수량 8.2억톤으로 국내 5위의 대규모 다목적댐 호수로서, 새만금 담수호에 유입되는 하천수의 최상류에 위치한 인공호이다. 새만금 방조제가 완공되어 수문을 조작하면, 용담호의 계절적인 식물플랑크톤 군집변화는 신생 새만금호의 녹조현상을 좌우하는 한 요인이 될 것이다. 용담호의 초기 담수화 과정 중 2002-2003년 하계에 남세균 녹조현상이 나타났으며, 녹조현상을 일으킨 주요 속은 Anabaena, Microcystis, Aphanizomenon 등이었다. 이 가운데 사상체 남세균인 Anabaena속에는 영양세포 이외에 이질세포나 휴면세포 등의 특수기능 세포를 가진 종들이 포함되어 있다. 용담호 녹조현상이 나타난 현장의 시료에서 분리한 Anabaena spiroides v. crassa의 단종배양체인 KNU-YD0310종주를 확립하였으며, 실내배양 실험을 통하여 이 종주의 영양염 요구를 연구하였다. 질소영양염 제한 조건에서는 이질세포의 영양세포에 대한 비율이 높았으며, 질소제한 정도에 따라 그 비율은 더욱 증가하였다. 질소고정능이 있는 KNU-YD0310는 질소제한 조건에서도 성장이 지속되나, 인의 경우에는 초기의 공급 농도에 비례하는 성장을 나타내었다. 인영양염 제한 조건에서는 휴면세포의 형성량이 증가하여, 인 제한의 경우에는 실험 종주가 세포대사를 억제하여 부적합한 환경조건에서의 생존기간을 연장시키는 적응전략을 가진 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 Anabaena spiroides v. crassa의 생리 생태적 특성은 향후 새만금 담수호의 녹조현상 예방대책 수립을 위한 수서생태학적 기준으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

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.
