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.

배 경: 유육종증은 원인 모르게 비건락성 상피성 육아종이 전신에 발생하는 질환으로서 그 경과가 매우 다양하여 많은 환자들은 자연적으로 치유되기도 하나 일부 환자들은 계속 진행하여 호흡부전으로 사망하기도 하며 이러한 다른 결과가 초래되는 기전이나, 그 결과를 예측하는 지표는 아직 알려진 것이 없다. 유육종증은 병변내에서는 CD4+ T 임파구가 수적으로 증가할 뿐 아니라 그 작용이 과다하게 증가하며 이러한 병변내에서의 CD4+ T 임파구의 과다한 작용은 정확한 원인은 아직도 모르지만 이들이 oligoclonality를 가진 것으로 미루어 어떤 항원의 지속적인 자극에 기인할 것으로 추측하고 있다. 근래에 CD4+ T 임파구가 주로 IL-2 및 IFN-$\gamma$을 분비하고 지연성 과민 반응에 기여하는 Th1 세포와 IL-4, IL-5, IL-10을 분비하여 알레르기 반응에 관여하는 Th2 세포의 두 종류가 있다는 것이 밝혀졌고, 유육종증 병변 내 CD4+ T 임파구는 IL-2 및 IFN-$\gamma$를 분비하는 Th1 세포가 주인것으로 생각되고 있다. 또한 최근 미분화 T 세포들을 Th1 세포쪽으로 분화를 유도하는 데에 IL-12가 중요한 역할을 한다는 것이 알려졌으며, Mmoller등은 폐유유종증 환자에서 기관지폐포세척액(Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid : BALF) 내 IL-12가 증가한 것을 관찰하였다. 그러므로 폐유육종증의 병변의 계속적인 진행, 또는 자연치유 여부의 결정에 IL-12가 관여할 것을 추측할 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 IL-12가 유육종증의 활동성 지표로 사용될 수 있는지를 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대 상: 조직학적으로 확진된 폐유육종증 환자 26명(남자: 10명, 여자: 16명, 연령: $38.7{\pm}10.6$세)과 정상 대조군 11명을 대상으로 진단 시 얻은 BALF 내 IL-12양과 BALF내 폐포대식세포 (Alveolar macrophage : AM)를 24 시간 배양 시 배양액 내로 분비되는 IL-12양을 ELISA 방법으로 측정 비교하였다. 폐유육종증 환자들중 12명이 임상적으로 비활동성이었고, 14명은 활동성이었다. 결 과: 폐유육종증 환자들의 BALF내 총세포수, AM 총수, 임파구백분율 및 총수, CD4/CD8 비가 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였으나, 활동성 및 비활동성 환자군 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다. BALF내 IL-12 농도는 폐유육종종 환자에서 $49.3{\pm}9.2$ pg/ml로 정상대조군의 $2.5{\pm}0.4$ pg/ml 보다 유의하게 (p<0.001) 높았고, 활동성 유육종증에서는 $70.3{\pm}14.8$ pg/ml로 비활동성 환자들의 $24.8{\pm}3.1$ pg/ml 보다 유의하게 높았다(p=0.001). BALF내의 IL-12 농도는 BALF내 AM백분율 (p<0.001), 임파구 백분율 (p<0.001) 및 임파구 총수 (p<0.001)와도 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 또한 BALF내의 IL-12 농도는 최근에 유육종증의 활동성의 지표로 알려지고 있는 혈청 및 BALF내 sICAM-1 농도(각각 p<0.001, p=0.001), AM의 ICAM-1 발현도와도 (p<0.001) 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. AM에서의 IL-12분비량은 폐유육종증 환자들에서 $206.2{\pm}61.9$ pg/ml로 정상대조군의 $68.3{\pm}43.7$ pg/ml 보다 높았으며 (p<0.008), 활동성 및 비활동성 환자군간 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론: 이상의 결과로 BALF 내 IL-12 농도는 폐내 염증 세포의 침윤 정도를 반영하며, 유육종증의 활성도를 예측하는 지표로서 유용할 것으로 사료되었다.

식욕에 부합되는 적정양의 먹이 섭취는 잉어의 성장을 증가시키고, 동시에 먹이의 허비를 막으며, 그로 인해서 사육수질의 오염을 막는 부수적인 효과도 가지게 된다. 이 목적을 달성하기 위하여 식욕 유발과 그에 따른 빠른 성장의 중요한 요인으로서 용존산소에 관한 정밀한 연구가 필요하다. 수온 $25^{\circ}C$ 하에서 잉어(이스라엘계)의 미성어, 67g, 200g, 400g, 600g 및 800g 되는 실험군으로서, 용존산소를 2.0-6mg/$\iota$ 사이에서 사료를 체중의 $1\%$부터 먹을 수 있는 양까지에 걸쳐서 사육실험연구를 하였다. 어체가 작을수록 동일한 용존산소 조건에서는 보다 높은 식욕과 보다 많은 먹이 섭취량을 나타내었다. 어체가 클수록 낮은 용존산소양에서는 생활 능력이 약해지고, 먹이 섭취량이 증가하면 내성은 더욱 줄어졌다. 성장률(일간 성장률)은 낮은 용존산소에 의해서 영향을 받지 않는 한, 먹이의 섭취량이 많을수록 증가하였다. 최고성장률은 67 g 어에서는 D.O. 5.0 mg/$\iota$에서 1일 먹이 량이 체중의 $7\%$ 일때 일간성장률 $\5.05%$였고, 200g 어에서는 D.O. 5.5/$\iota$ 에서 먹이량 $6\%$일때 1일 성장률이 $3.75\%$였다. 400g 어에서는 D.O. 6.0 mg/$\iota$에서 먹이량이 $5\%$ 일때 1일 성장률 $3.37\%$ 였으며, 600g 어에서는 D.O. 5.5 mg/$\iota$에서 먹이량이 1일 $4\%$였을 때 1일 성장률 $2.82\%$였다. 800g 어에서는 D.O. 5.0mg/$\iota$에서 먹이량이 1일 $3\%$었을 때 1일 성장율이 $1.95\%$였다. 정상적인 생활 및 성장 기능발휘 가능 D.O. 농도로부터 최고 먹이 섭취가능양에 부합되는 D.O. 농도까지 사이에서 먹이 전환효율(사료가 어체로 바뀌는 효율)은 처음 D.O.가 증가함에 따라 높아지고, 최고치에 이른 뒤, D.O.가 더욱 더 높아짐 에 따라 먹이 전환효율은 다시 감소하기 시작한다. 이 최고 사료효율은 작은 어체에서는 큰 어체 보다 높은 먹이 섭취량에서 나타난다 (물론 먹이 섭취량에 부응하는 D.O.량이 갖춰졌을때). 즉 최고 먹이 전환효율은 67g 어에서 D.O. 3.0-4.0 mg/$\iota$에서 먹이 섭취량 $4\%$때 였으며, 200g 어에서는 D.O. 3.0-4.5mg/$\iota$에서 먹이 섭취량 $3\%$때였고, 400 g 어에서는 D.O. 4.0-4.5mg/$\iota$에서 먹이 섭취량 $2\%$때였다. 600g 및 800 g 어에서는 가장 낮은 D.O.에서 먹이 섭취량 $1\%$ 때였다. 적절하지 못한 낮은 D.O. 함량에서는 정상적인 조건하의 개체보다 먹이 섭취량이 감소하며, 또 먹이가 소화관을 빨리 통과하고, 똥의 양이 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그리고, 견디지 못할 만큼 낮은 D.O.하에서는 먹이를 토하고, 체색이 옅은 황색으로 변하거나, 또는 회색의 얼국진 반점으로 변하기도 했다. 이 모든 현상들이 먹이 전환효율의 감소로 이어졌다. 반면에 아주 높은 D.O.하에서는 강한 활동을 하였으며, 어체 크기가 같고 먹이의 양도 같았지만 D.O.가 약간 낮은 상에 비교하여 먹이 전환효율이 떨어지는 경향이 나타났다. 모든 크기에서 먹이량을 체중의 $1\%$만 주었을 때는 D.O. 량이 2.0-2.5mg/$\iota$ 이면 적절하였다. 먹이량을 증가시키면 어체의 정상활동을 유지시키기 위하여 보다 높은 D.O.가 필요하였다. 67g 어에서는 D.O. 2.0-2.5mg/$\iota$이면 체중의 $2\%$이상 먹이량을 충분히 지탱할 수 있었으나, 먹이를 $5\%$로 증가시키면 D.O. 3.0-4.0 mg/$\iota$일 때 식욕이 보다 왕성하고 높은 성장을 가져 왔다. 먹이량이 $5-7\%$에서는 4.0 mg/$\iota$ 이상의 D.O.라야 식욕을 유지시킬수 있다. 200g 어에서는 먹이량이 체중의 $2-3\%$ 일때는 D.O. 3.5-4.5mg/$\iota$에서 가장 높은 성장률을 보였으나 먹이량이 체중의 $3-6\%$로 올라가면 D.O. 함량이 4.5mg/$\iota$을 넘어서야만 어류의 생활기능 발휘에 부응될 수 있었다. 400 g, 600 g 및 800 g 어에서는 먹이량이 체중의 $2\%$를 넘을 때는 ($4\%$ 및 $5\%$까지 실험) 모두 D.O. 함량이 4.5 mg/$\iota$를 넘어야 했다.

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.

면역반응은 외부 감염원으로부터 신체를 보호하고 외부감염원을 제거하고자 하는 주요항상성 유지기전의 하나이다. 이들 반응은 골수에서 생성되고 비장, 흉선 및 임파절 등에서 성숙되는 면역세포들에 의해 매개된다. 보통 태어나면서부터 얻어진 선천성 면역반응을 매개하는 대식세포, 수지상 세포 등과, 오랜기간 동안 감염된 다양한 면역원에 대한 경험을 토대로 얻어진 획득성 면역을 담당하는 T 임파구 등이 대표적인 면역세포로 알려져 있다. 다양한 면역질환이 최근 주요 사망률의 원인이 되고 있다. 최근, 암, 당뇨 및 뇌혈관질환 등이 생체에서 발생되는 급 만성염증에 의해 발생된다고 보고됨에 따라 면역세포 매개성 염증질환에 대한 치료제 개발을 서두르고 있다. 또한 암환자의 급격한 증가는 암발생의 주요 방어기전인 면역력 증강에 대한 요구들을 가중시키고 있다. 예로부터 사용되어 오던 고려인삼과 홍삼은 기를 보호하고 원기를 회복하는 명약으로 알려진 대표적인 우리나라 천연생약이다. 특별히, 홍삼은 단백질과 핵산의 합성을 촉진시키고, 조혈작용, 간기능 회복, 혈당강하, 운동수행 능력증대, 기억력 개선, 항피로작용 및 면역력 증대에 매우 효과가 좋은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 홍삼에 관한 많은 연구에 비해, 현재까지 홍삼이 면역력 증강에 미치는 효과에 대한 분자적 수준에서의 연구는 매우 미미한 것으로 확인되어져 있다. 홍삼의 투여는 NK 세포나 대식세포의 활성이 증가하고 항암제의 암세포 사멸을 증가시키는 것으로 확인되어졌다. 현재까지 알려진 주요 면역증강 성분은 산성다당류로 보고되었다. 또 한편으로 일부 진세노사이드류에서 항염증 효능이 확인되어졌으며, 이를 통해 피부염증 반응과 관절염에 대한 치료 효과가 있는 것으로 추측되고 있다 [본 연구는 KT&G 연구출연금 (2009-2010) 지원을 받아 이루어졌기에 이에 감사드린다]. 면역반응은 외부 감염물질의 침입으로 유도된 질병환경을 제거하고 수복하는 중요한 생체적 방어작용의 하나이다. 이들 과정은 체내로 유입된 미생물이나 미세화학물질들과 같은 독성물질을 소거하거나 파괴하는 것을 주요 역할로 한다. 외부로 부터 인체에 들어온 이물질에 대한 방어기전은 현재 두 가지 종류의 면역반응으로 구분해서 설명한다. 즉, 선천성 면역 반응 (innate immunity)과 후천성 면역 반응 (adaptive immunity)이 그것이다. 선천성 면역반응은 1) 피부나 점막의 표면과 같은 해부학적인 보호벽 구조와 2) 체온과 낮은 pH 및 chemical mediator (리소자임, collectin류) 등과 같은 생리적 방어구조, 3) phagocyte류 (대식세포, 수지상세포 및 호중구 등)에 의한 phagocytic/endocytic 방어, 그리고 4) 마지막으로 염증반응을 통한 감염에 저항하는 면역반응 등으로 구분된다. 후천성 면역반응은 획득성면역이라고도 불리고 특이성, 다양성, 기억 및 자기/비자기의 인식이라는 네 가지의 특징을 가지고 있으며, 외부 유입물질을 제거하는 반응에 따라 체액성 면역 반응 (humoral immune response)과 세포성 면역반응 (cell-mediated immune response)으로 구분된다. 체액성 면역은 침입한 항원의 구조 특이적으로 생성된 B cell 유래 항체와의 반응과 간이나 대식세포 등에서 합성되어 분비된 혈청내 보체 등에 의해 매개되는 반응으로 구성되어 있다. 세포성 면역반응은 T helper cell (CD4+), cytotoxic T cell (CD8+), B cell 및antigen presenting cell 중개를 통한 세포간 상호 작용에 의해 발생되는 면역반응이다. 선천성 면역반응의 하나인 염증은 우리 몸에서 가장 빈번히 발생되고 있는 방어작용의 하나이다. 예를 들면 감기에 걸렸을 경우, 환자의 편도선내 대식세포나 수지상세포류는 감염된 바이러스 단독 혹은 동시에 감염된 박테리아를 상대로 다양한 염증성 반응을 유도하게 된다. 또한, 상처가 생겼을 경우에도 감염원을 통해 유입된 병원성 세균과 주위조직내 선천성 면역담당 세포들 간의 면역학적 전투가 발생되게 된다. 이들 과정을 통해, 주위 세포나 조직이 손상되면, 즉각적으로 이들 면역세포들 (주로 phagocytes류)은 신속하게 손상을 극소화하고 더 나가서 손상된 부위를 원상으로 회복시키려는 일련의 염증반응을 유도하게 된다. 이들 반응은 우리가 흔히 알고 있는 발적 (redness), 부종 (swelling), 발열 (heat), 통증 (pain) 등의 증상으로 나타나게 된다. 즉, 손상된 부위 주변에 존재하는 모세혈관에 흐르는 혈류의 양이 증가하면서 혈관의 직경이 늘어나게 되고, 이로 인한 조직의 홍반과, 부어 오른 혈관에 의해 발열과 부종이 초래되는 것이다. 확장된 모세혈관의 투과성 증가는 체액과 세포들이 혈관에서 조직으로 이동하게 하는 원동력이 되고, 이를 통해 축적된 삼출물들은 단백질의 농도를 높여, 최종적으로 혈관에 존재하는 체액들이 조직으로 더 많이 이동되도록 유도하여 부종을 형성시킨다. 마지막으로 혈관 내 존재하는 면역세포들은 혈판 내벽에 점착되고 (margination), 혈관벽의 간극을 넓히는 역할을 하는 히스타민 (histamine)이나 일산화질소(nitric oxide : NO), 프로스타그린딘 (prostagladins : PGE2) 및 류코트리엔 (leukotriens) 등과 같은 chemical mediator의 도움으로 인해 혈관벽 사이로 삼출하게 되어 (extravasation), 손상된 부위로 이동하여 직접적인 외부 침입 물질의 파괴나 다른 면역세포들을 모으기 위한 cytokine (tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-$\alpha$, interleukin [IL]-1, IL-6 등) 혹은 chemokine (MIP-l, IL-8, MCP-l등)의 분비 등을 수행함으로써 염증반응을 매개하게 된다. 염증과정시 발생되는 여러 mediator 중 PGE2나 NO 및 TNF-$\alpha$ 등은 실험적 평가가 용이하여 이들 mediator 자체나 생성관련효소 (cyclooxygenase [COX] 및 nitric oxide synthase [NOS] 등)들은 현재항염증 치료제의 개발 연구시 주요 표적으로 연구되고 있다. 염증 반응은 지속기간에 따라 크게 급성염증과 만성염증으로 나뉘며, 삼출물의 종류에 따라서는 장액성, 섬유소성, 화농성 및 출혈성 염증 등으로 구분된다. 급성 염증 (acute inflammation)반응은 수일 내지 수주간 지속되는 일반적인 염증반응이라고 볼 수 있다. 국소반응은 기본징후인 발열과 발적, 부종, 통증 및 기능 상실이 특징적이며, 현미경적 소견으로는 혈관성 변화와 삼출물 형성이 주 작용이므로 일명 삼출성 염증이라고 한다. 만성 염증 (chronic inflammation)은, 급성 염증으로부터 이행되거나 만성으로 시작된다. 염증지속 기간은 보통 4주 이상 장기화 된다. 보통 염증의 경우에는 염증 생성 cytokine인 Th1 cytokine (IL-2, interferone [IFN]-$\gamma$ 및 TNF-$\alpha$ 등)의 생성 후, 거의 즉각적으로 항 염증성 cytokine인 Th2 cytokine(IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 및 transforming growth factor [TGF]-$\beta$ 등)이 생성되어 정상반응으로 회복된다. 그러나, 어떤 원인에서든 면역세포에 의한 염증원 제거 반응이 문제가 되면, 만성염증으로 진행된다. 이 반응에 주로 작용을 하는 염증세포로는 단핵구와 대식세포, 림프구, 형질세포 등이 있다. 암은 전세계적으로 사망률 1위의 원인이 되는 면역질환의 하나이다. 산화적 스트레스나 자외선 조사 혹은 암유발 물질들에 의해 염색체내 protooncogene, tumor-suppressor gene 혹은 DNA repairing gene의 일부 DNA의 돌연변이 혹은 결손 등이 발행되면 정상세포는 암화과정을 시작하게 된다. 양성세포 수준에서 약 5에서 10여년 후 악성수준의 암세포가 생성되게 되면 이들 세포는 새로운 환경을 찾아 전이하게 되는데 이를 통해 암환자들은 다양한 장기에 동인 오리진의 암세포들이 생성한 종양들을 가지게 된다. 이들 종양세포는 정상 장기의 기능을 손상시켜며 결국 생명을 잃게 만든다. 이들 염색체 수준에서의 돌연변이 유래 암세포는 거의 대부분이 체내 면역시스템에 의해 사멸되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 계속되는 스트레스나 암유발 물질의 노출은 체내 면역체계를 파괴하면서 최후의 방어선을 무너뜨리면서 암발생에 무방비 상태를 만들게 된다. 이런 이유로 체내 면역시스템의 정상적 가동 및 증강을 유도하게 하는 전략이 암예방시 매우 중요한 표적으로 인식되면서 다양한 형태의 면역증강 물질 개발을 시도하고 있다. 인삼은 두릅나무과의 여러해살이 풀로써, 오랜동안 한방 및 민간에서 원기를 회복시키고, 각종 질병을 치료할 수단으로 사용되고 있는 대표적인 전통생약이다. 예로부터 불로(不老), 장생(長生), 익기(益氣), 경신(經身)의 명약으로 구전되어졌는데, 이는 약 2천년 전 중국의 신농본초경(神農本草經)에서 "인삼은 오장(五腸)을 보하고, 정신을 안정시키고, 혼백을 고정하며 경계를 멈추게 하고, 외부로부터 침입하는 병사를 제거하여주며, 눈을 밝게 하고 마음을 열어 더욱 지혜롭게 하고 오랫동안 복용하면 몸이 가벼워지고 장수한다" 라고 기술되어있는 데에서 유래한 것이다. 다양한 연구를 통해 우리나라에서 생산되는 고려인삼 (Panax ginseng)이 효능 면에서 가장 탁월한 것으로 알려져 있으며 특별이 고려인삼으로부터 제조된 고려홍삼은 전세계적으로도 그 효능이 우수한 것으로 보고되어 있다. 대부분의 홍삼 약효는 dammarane계열의 triterpenoid인 ginsenosides라고 불리는 인삼 saponin에 의해 기인된 것으로 알려져 있다. 이들 화합물군의 기본 골격에 따라, protopanaxadiol (PD)계 (22종) 및 protopanaxatriol (PT)계 (10종)으로 구분되고 있다 (표 1). 실험적 접근을 통해 인삼의 약리작용 이해를 위한 다양한 노력들이 경주되고 있으나, 여전히 많은 부분에서 충분히 이해되고 있지 않다. 그러나, 현재까지 연구된 인삼의 약리작용 관련 연구들은 심혈관, 당뇨, 항암 및 항스트레스 등과 같은 분야에서 인삼효능이 우수한 것으로 보고하고 있다. 그러나 면역조절 및 염증현상과 관련된 최근 연구결과들은 많지 않으나, 향후 다양하게 연구될 효능부분으로 인식되고 있다.

관상수재배(觀賞樹栽培)의 현황(現況), 생산(生產), 유통과정(流通過程), 문제점(問題點), 전망(展望)과 개선방안(改善方案)을 조사(調査)한 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 관상수재배(觀賞樹栽培)의 일반현황(一般現況) (1) 전국(全國)(서울제외(除外))의 관상수재배면적(觀賞樹栽培面積)과 재배자수(栽培者數)는 각각 1,872.02ha, 2,717명(名)으로서 농수산부(農水產部) 집계(集計)와 많은 차이(差異)가 있는데, 이것은 재배업자(栽培業者)들이 조세부담등(租稅負擔等)의 이유(理由)때문에 정확(正確)한 답(答)을 하지 않은 것으로 보여진다. (2) 직업(職業)은 원예(園藝)(관상수포함(觀賞樹包含)), 농업(農業)을 비롯한 일차산업분야(一次產業分野)의 종사자(從事者)들이 대부분이었으며, 공무원(公務員), 회사원(會社員)도 약간 있었다. (3) 관상수재배자(觀賞樹栽培者)는 학력(學歷)이 높을수록 그 수(數)가 많은 경향(傾向)을 보였으며, 연령(年齡)은 청년층(青年層)보다 장년(壯年)에서 노년층(老年層)이 많은 분포(分布)를 보였다. (4) 관상수재배동기(觀賞樹栽培動機)는 취미(趣味)로 시작, 수익(收益)이 높아서 자산저축적(資產貯蓄的)인 취지(趣旨)에서 공한지활용등(空閑地活用等)의 순(順)으로 나타났으며 재배경력(栽培經歷)은 5~10년(年)이 가장 많고, 대체로 5~15년(年)까지의 재배경력(栽培經歷)을 가진 자가 전체(全體)의 약 $\frac{2}{3}$정도를 차지하고 있었다. (5) 관상수재배장소(觀賞樹栽培場所)는 전(田)이 반이상(半以上)이었으며 그밖에 임야(林野), 답(畓), 하천부지등(河川敷地等)의 순(順)으로 전(田)과 답(畓)을 합(合)하면 66.1%로서 전체(全體) 재배장소(栽培場所)의 2/3나 되었다. (6) 관상수(觀賞樹)의 재배면적(栽培面積)은 1,000~3,000평(坪)의 재배자수(栽培者數)가 가장 많고 그 다음이 3,000~10,000평(坪), 10,000평(坪) 이상(以上), 300~1,000평(坪), 300평미만(坪未滿)의 순(順)으로 1정보(町步)(3,000평(坪))이상(以上)의 재배자(栽培者)가 44.3%로 나타났다. 2. 관상수(觀賞樹)의 생산(生產) (1) 관상수원(觀賞樹園)의 경영형태(經營形態)는 부업(副業), 주업(主業), 겸업순(兼業順)이었으며, 경영방식(經營方式)은 기업경영(企業經營), 반자영(半自營), 자영순(自營順)으로서 관상수재배(觀賞樹栽培)에는 고용노동(雇傭勞動)을 많이 사용(使用)하는 것으로 나타났다. (2) 관상수(觀賞樹)의 재배수종(栽培樹種)은 다양한데 30종(種) 미만(未滿)의 재배자(栽培者)가 전체(全體)의 약 3/4, 30종(種) 이상(以上)의 재배자(栽培者)가 전체(全體)의 약 l/4로 나타났다. (3) 1977년(年) 3월말(月末) 현재(現在) 관상수재배자(觀賞樹栽培者)들이 재배(栽培)하고 있는, 10가지 주요관상수종(主要觀賞樹種)은 (1) 향나무류, (2) 철죽류, (3) 회양목, (4) 은행나무, (5) 단풍나무, (6)목련류, (7) 잣나무류, (8) 주목, (9) 사철나무류, (10) 히말라야시다로 나타났다. (4) 출하(出荷)가 곧 가능(可能)한 수종(樹種)은 (1) 향나무류, (2) 회양목, (3) 철죽류, (4) 단풍나무류, (5) 목련류등이었다. 3. 관상수(觀賞樹)의 유통(流通) (1) 관상수(觀賞樹)의 처분(處分)은 주(主)로 중간상인(中間商人)에게 판매(販賣)하고 있었으며, 관상수유통과정(觀賞樹流通過程)은 5가지로 나누어 볼 수 있는데 대부분 중간상인(中間商人)과 하청자(下請者)를 거치며 심지어는 3~4단계의 중간단계(中間段階)를 거치는 유통경로(流通經路)도 실재(實在)하고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 그러므로 관상수(觀賞樹) 거래가격(去來價格)이 마구 조작되고 있어 피해(被害)와 손해(損害)를 입는 것은 생산자(生產者)와 실수요자(實需要者)들이다. 따라서 생산자(生產者)를 보호육성(保護育成)하고 실수요자(實需要者)들에게 보다 싼 적정가격(適正價格)으로 관상수(觀賞樹)를 공급(供給)할 수 있는 단일유통체제(單一流通體制)의 수립(樹立)이 시급히 강구(講究)되어야 할 것이다. (2) 관상수생산자(觀賞樹生產者)들의 관상수판매가격(觀賞樹販賣價格)은 조사결과(調査結果) 입찰가격(入札價格)의 1/2~1/3, 심지어는 수종(樹種)에 따라 1/41~1/5에 불과한 예(例)도 있음이 나타났다. (3) 중간상인(中間商人)들이 얻는 중간이익(中間利益)은 20~50%정도(程度)를 얻는 사람이 대부분인 것으로 본조사결과(本調査結果) 밝혀졌다. 그러므로 관상수유통(觀賞樹流通)의 합리화(合理化)를 기(期)하기 위해서는 중간상인(中間商人)과 하청자(下請者)를 배제(排除)한 생사자(生產者)가 실수요자(實需要者)에게 직매(直賣)할 수 있는 유통경로(流通經路)의 모색(摸索)이 절실히 요청(要請)되며, 생산자(生產者)의 권리(權利)를 보장할 수 있는 방안(方案)도 아울러 검토(檢討)되어야 할 것이다. 4. 관상수(觀賞樹)에 대한 제반(諸般) 문제점(問題點) (1) 최근(最近) 대기업(大企業)에서 관상수재배(觀賞樹栽培) 진출(進出)을 하고 있는데 대해서 관상수재배자(觀賞樹栽培者)들은 (1) 과잉생산(過剩生產)의 초래(招來), (2) 농가(農家)의 부업적(副業的)인 재배(栽培)에 압박(壓迫)을 주기때문 등등의 이유(理由)로 반대의견(反對意見)이 지배적(支配的)이었는데 관계기관(關係機關)에서는 이에 대한 적절(適切)한 대응책(對應策)을 강구(講究)하지 않으면 안될 것이다. (2) 관상수(觀賞樹)의 평탄지(平坦地) 재배금지(栽培禁止)에 대한 반응(反應)은 반대(反對)한다가 지배적(支配的)인 견해(見解)로서 그 이유(理由)를 (1) 신규(新規) 재배자(栽培者)만 규제(規制)해도 법(法)의 목적(目的)이 달성(達成)된다는 것과, (2) 과거(過去)에 합법적(合法的)으로 식재(植栽)한 관상수(觀賞樹)를 무보상(無補賞)으로 옮겨 심게 하는 것은 위법(違法)이 라는 점(點)을 들고 있다. 한편 "농지(農地)의 보전(保全) 및 이용(利用)에 관한 법률(法律)"에 의하여 농수산부(農水產部)가 집계(集計)한 농지환원대상면적(農地還元對象面積)은 전(田)과 답(畓)을 합(合)하여 1,176.39ha로서 이 법(法) 시행(施行)에 앞서 관상수재배자(觀賞樹栽培者)들에 대한 대책(對策)을 강구(講究)한 후(後) 실시(實施)함이 당연(當然)한 처사(處事)요 정당(正堂)한 절차(節次)라고 생각된다. (3) 관상수(觀賞樹)의 대외수출(對外輸出)은 1970년(年) 최초로 편백, 산수유, 오동나무를 수출하기 시작하여 2~3년간 호조(好調)를 보여오다가 최근 부진(不振)현상을 겪고 있는데, 재배업자(栽培業者)들은 그 이유(理由)를 (1) 정보(情報)가 빈약(貧弱)하고 장려책(裝勵策)이 없기 때문, (2) 수입국(輸入國)의 경제불황(經濟不況), (3) 기호(嗜好)에 맞는 신수종(新樹種)의 개발(開發)이 없기 때문 등등으로 보고 있다. 그러나 관상수수출(觀賞樹輸出)은 이제 대일의존(對日依存)에서 구미제국(歐美諸國)쪽으로 돌려야 할 것이며 관상수(觀賞樹)도 새로운 양묘기술(養苗技術)과 번식기술(繁殖技術)을 요(要)하는 특이수종(特異樹種)을 개발(開發)하는 것이 관상수(觀相樹) 수출진흥방안책(輸出振興方案策)이라 생각된다. (4) 관상수(觀賞樹)를 식재(植栽)하여 수입(收入)이 있기 전(前) 을류농지세(乙類農地稅) 납부여부(納付與否)에 대한 관상수(觀賞樹) 재배업자(栽培業者)들의 반응(反應)은 납부(納付)하지 않았다가 납부(納付)하였다는 반응(反應)보다 많았다. 한편 전반적(全般的)인 관상수재배지(觀賞樹栽培地에) 대한 을류농지세액(乙類農地稅額)은 대체로 적당하다는 반응(反應)보다는 세액(稅額)이 너무 많다고 응답(應答)한 사람이 많이 있는 것으로 보아 관계기관(關係機關)에서는 을류농지세(乙類農地稅)의 과세기준(課稅基準)에 대한 재검토(再檢討)를 하여 적정과세(適正課脫)를 하여야 할 것으로 사료(思料)된다. 5. 관상수재배(觀賞樹栽培)에 대한 전망(展望) 및 개선방안(改善方案) (1) 관상수(觀賞樹)의 경기(景氣)는 짧으면 앞으로 2~3년(年), 길면 5~10년내(年內)에 좋아질 것으로 비교적 낙관적(樂觀的) 반응(反應)을 보이고 있는 반면, 앞으로 회복될 가능성이 없다고 비관적 반응(反應)을 보인 예도 약간 있었다. (2) 관상수생산전환(觀賞樹生產轉換)에 대한 반응은 현상유지, 현보유량처분후(現保有量處分後) 전환(轉換), 염가라도 정리(定理)하겠다는 순(順)이었으며, 장기적(長期的)인 안목(眼目)으로 계속 확장(擴張)하고자 한다는 반응(反應)은 그리 많지 않았다. (3) 관상수(觀賞樹)의 규격표준화(規格標準化)에 대한 반응(反應)은 찬성(贊成)한다는 반응(反應)이 지배적(支配的)이나 반대(反對)한다는 사람들도 약간 있었다. 그들은 그 이유(理由)를 (1) 동일규격(同一規格)이라도 재배기술(栽培技術)에 의한 수형상황(樹形狀況)에 따라 가격차(價格差)가 크기 때문, (2) 조림묘목(造林苗木)과 달라 규격통일(規格統一)이 어렵기 때문이라고 하였다. (4) 관상수유통과정(觀賞樹流通過程)의 정비책(整備策)으로 유통기관(流通機關)에서 계통적(系統的)으로 관상수(觀賞樹)를 판매(販賣), 처분(處分)하는데 대해서 찬성(贊成)한다는 반응(反應)이 훨씬 많았으며, 반대자들은 (1) 유통전담기관(流通專擔機關)이 독점(獨占)할 경우의 횡포와, (2) 유통전담기관(流通專擔機關)이 영리화(營利化) 되기 쉽다는 것을 우려하고 있었다. (5) 관상수(觀賞樹)의 과잉생산(過剩生產)을 방지(防止)하고 우량관상수(優良觀賞樹)를 생산(生產)하기 위한 방편으로 관상수재배(觀賞樹栽培)의 허가제(許可制) 또는 인가제(認可制)가 대두(擡頭)되고 있는데 대해서 반대(反對)한다가 찬성(贊成)한다는 반응(反應)보다 약간 높게 나타났으며, 반대이유(反對理由)로는 (1) 부업적(副業的) 관상수재배(觀賞樹栽培)가 불가능(不可能)하다는 것과, (2) 권력(權力)과 결탁한 부조리(不條理)를 초래(招來)하기 쉽다는 것을 들고 있었다.
