영산강의 상류에는 4개의 농업용 댐들이 축조되어 있으며 각 댐의 물은 경작지 관개용수로 거의 모두 공급되고 영산강 본류로 방류되지 않고 있다. 또한, 관개용수의 대부분도 사용 후에 영산강으로 회귀하지 않고 격리된 상태의 별도 용수간선을 통하여 영산강 하류까지 흘러가기 때문에 영산강 본류의 유량 부족 문제를 가중시키고 있다. 이러한 원인으로 영산강 유량의 71%가 하수처리수로 채워지는 결과를 초래하였으며 이에 따라 수질뿐 아니라 수생태 건강성도 우리나라 4대강 중 가장 열악한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 영산강 수질개선을 위한 여러 가지 시나리오들을 오염삭감과 유량증대를 함께 고려하여 개발하였고 QUAL-MEV를 이용하여 각 시나리오의 장래수질을 예측·분석하였으며, 이러한 연구결과로부터 얻어진 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 영산강의 수질개선은 오염삭감을 통해 그동안 꾸준히 시행되어 왔으나 이제 한계에 다다르고 있어 앞으로는 오염삭감만이 아니라 유량증대(해수담수화 포함) 방법이 함께 중점 추진되어야 하며, 이러한 경우에는 영산강 수질목표의 달성도 가능하다. 2. BOD는 오염삭감 그리고 T-P는 유량증대의 방법을 통해 크게 개선될 수 있다고 예측되었으므로 수질목표의 달성을 위해 오염삭감과 더불어 유량증대가 함께 도입된다면 이들 상호 간에는 시너지 효과가 크게 작용할 수 있을 것이다. 3. 그러나 유량증대사업의 원활한 추진을 위해서는 투자비용을 늘리는 것도 중요하겠으나 기존의 용수 이해관계자들간에 형성되어 있는 갈등 문제를 협의·해소키 위한 꾸준한 노력이 선행되어야 할 것이다. 4. 댐의 건설, 용수배분 조정 등 강우 유관형 유량증대 방법은 기후변화로 인해 강우가 오랜 기간 발생하지 않으면서 대가뭄이 지속될 경우에 적용의 효용성이 떨어지거나 상실될 수 있으므로 앞으로 비슷한 조건이라면 강우 무관형인 해수담수화시설을 유량증대사업 중 우선 설치대상으로 고려해야 할 것이다. 그 이유는 이러한 시설이 우리나라에서 새로 건설하기 어려운 댐의 용수확보 기능을 대체할 수 있고 대가뭄이 장기간 지속될 경우에 물관련 재해방지도 가능하여 기후변화의 적응시설로서 유용할 수 있기 때문이다.

인공광 식물공장에서는 작물을 생산하기 위하여 일반적으로 화학비료 유래 무기성분을 포함하는 배양액을 시용하여 수경재배한다. 본 연구에서는 광질이 상이한 식물공장에서 관행의 무기배양액 일부 또는 전량을 유기배양액으로 대체할 수 있는 폐기 농업부산물 유래 유기배양액을 시용하여 수경재배하고 작물의 생장에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 청색, 적색 및 백색 LED를 1:2:1의 비율로 혼합한 혼합LED 및 관행의 형광등 조사 조건에서 적치마와 청치마 상추 실생묘를 35일간 수경재배한 결과, 적치마와 청치마 상추의 생체중 및 전개엽수 증가는 형광등을 조사한 Y구에서 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였다. 그러나 유·무기 혼합배양액 처리구인 YK 및 YTJ에서는 오히려 혼합LED 조사구에서 증가하였다. 유기배양액 단용 또는 유·무기 혼합배양액 처리시 엽내 SPAD치는 두 실생묘 모두 Y구와 유사하거나 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 관행의 무기배양액인 Y구에서 배양액내 구성성분 중 가장 많은 양을 차지하고 있는 무기성분인 NO₃-N은 재배 개시일에 약 97 mg/L으로, 적치마와 청치마 상추 실생묘에서 모두 재배기간이 경과함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 적치마의 경우 재배종료시 각 처리구별 NO₃-N 농도는 형광등 조사시 약 29 mg/L, 혼합LED 조사시 24 mg/L였으며, 청치마의 경우 형광등 조사시 약 26 mg/L, 혼합LED 조사시 47 mg/L로, 초기 투입량 대비 25~48% 정도의 양이 재배종료시까지 흡수되지 않고 남아 있었다. 재배개시일 NH₃-N 농도는 Y구3-N 잔여량은 약 13%로 최대값을 나타내었다. 관행의 무기배양액내 질산태질소는 작물체에 흡수되어 생체중, 엽수 증가와 같은 지상부 생장을 좌우하는 주요 성분이지만 재배종료시까지 전량이 흡수되지 않고 남아 있는 것으로 보아 상추 수경재배시 배양액내 질산태질소의 초기 투입량을 조절할 필요성이 대두되었다. 연구결과 농업부산물 유래 유기배양액을 활용하여 적치마와 청치마 상추를 수경재배할 경우 유기배양액 단용보다 유·무기 혼합배양액 시용으로 유기배양액내 부족한 질소 성분을 무기질소로 보충할 수 있어 무기성분 사용량 저감이 기대된다. 또한 상추 실생묘의 양적생장 추이와 달리 엽내 색소합성이 관행 무기배양액보다 특정 유기배양액 단용 또는 혼용에 의해 유의하게 증가하는 것으로 보아 작물체내 물질합성량, 유기배양액 사용기간 및 재이용 등 유기배양액의 화학적 특성 변화에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본원에서는 비심장 수술환자의 수술 전후 심장사건의 위험도 평가를 위해 심근관류 SPECT를 시행하고 있다. 암환자의 경우 수술 전에 전신 뼈 검사 혹은 전신 PET 검사로 암 전이 여부 확인 후 심근관류 SPECT를 시행하여 불필요한 검사 처방을 막고 있다. 하지만 단기 병동 입원 환자의 경우 재원 일수를 줄이고자 전신 뼈 검사 후 최소 16시간의 간격을 두고 $^{201}Tl$ 심근관류 SPECT를 시행하는 경우가 있지만 아직까지 서로 다른 동위원소 투여로 인한 crosstalk contamination의 영향에 대한 평가가 제대로 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 anthropomorphic torso phantom을 이용한 실험과 실제 환자 데이터를 이용하여 이에 대한 유효성 검정을 시행하고자 한다. 2009년 8월부터 9월까지 서울아산병원 핵의학과에서 $^{201}Tl$ 심근관류 SPECT를 시행한 87명의 환자를 대상으로 연구 분석하였다. $^{201}Tl$ 심근관류 SPECT 시행 전날 전신 뼈 스캔 시행 여부에 따라 환자를 분류하였고 $^{201}Tl$ 심근관류 SPECT 촬영 시 이중 에너지 창을 이용하여 영상을 획득하였다. 획득한 영상에서 $^{201}Tl$ 창과 $^{99m}Tc$ 창에서 계수된 카운트의 비율을 전날 전신 뼈 검사의 시행 유무에 따라 비교 분석하였다. 실험에는 anthropomorphic torso phantom을 사용하였으며 심근($^{201}Tl$)과 심근 이외의 부분($^{99m}Tc$)에 각각 14.8 MBq, 44.4 MBq를 투여 하였다. 영상획득은 시간 간격을 두고 게이트 법 적용 없이 $^{201}Tl$ 심근관류 SPECT를 시행하여 얻었고 Xeleris ver 2.0551를 이용하여 공간 분해능을 측정 분석하였다. 수집한 환자 데이터에서 $^{201}Tl$ 창과 $^{99m}Tc$ 창에서 계수된 카운트 비율 비교 결과 전날 전신 뼈 스캔을 시행한 경우 Bone tracer 주입 후 12시간에서 24시간까지의 비율이 Ventri에서는 1:0.411 에서 1:0.114, Infinia에서는 1:0.249에서 1:0.079로 지수함수적으로 감소하며 시간 경과에 따라 유의한 차이(Ventri p=0.0001, Infinia p=0.0001)를 나타내었다. 또한 전신 뼈 스캔을 시행하지 않은 경우의 비율은 Ventri에서 평균 1:$0.067{\pm}0.006$, Infinia에서 1:$0.063{\pm}0.007$로 나타났다. Phantom 실험 후 공간 분해능 측정 결과는 $^{99m}Tc$의 첨가 여부와 시간 경과에 따라서 FWHM의 유의한 변화는 나타나지 않았다 (p=0.134). Anthropomorphic torso phantom을 이용한 실험과 환자 데이터 분석을 통해 bone tracer 주입 16시간 이 후에 시행된$^{201}Tl$ 심근관류 SPECT 영상은 $^{99m}Tc$에 의해 공간 분해능에 유의한 영향을 받지 않는다는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만 이는 영상의 질적 평가만 이루어진 것으로 환자의 피폭과 검사의 정밀도 및 정확도에 관한 연구가 추가로 필요한 실정이다. 추후 서로 다른 동위원소 사용에 따른 crosstalk contamination의 영향에 대한 정확하고 표준화된 유효성 검정으로 검사 간격에 대한 정확한 가이드라인 제시가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

UltraSPECT사의 Wide Beam Reconstruction (WBR)은 노이즈(Noise)와 조준기의 광속 확산 함수 효과(Beam spread function effect)를 제거하고 환자와의 거리를 자동적으로 보상하여 높은 해상도와 대조도를 제공할 수 있어 영상 획득 시간을 짧게 할 수 있고 상당한 영상 질 향상에 도움을 준다고 보고되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 핵의학 분야에서 가장 흔히 이용되는 전신 뼈 스캔에 대해 WBR의 임상적 적용에 대한 유용성을 알아보고자 한다. XpressBone (WBR)의 성능 실험을 위하여 NEMA에서 제공하는 방법에 의하여 선원(Line source)과 SPECT Phantom을 이용하여 공간 분해능을 측정 분석하였다. 실험방법은 선원의 총 계수치를 200 kcps에서 300 kcps로 변화시켜 측정하였으며, SPECT Phantom은 매트릭스 크기를 변화시켜 측정하여 공간분해능에 대한 분석을 하였다. 또한 2009년 1월부터 2009년 9월까지 본원을 내원하여 뼈 스캔을 시행 받은 환자 40명을 두 군으로 나누어 임상 연구를 시행하였다. 1군은 $^{99m}Tc$-HDP 740 MBq (20mCi)를 투여하고 검사속도(20, 30 cm/min)를 변화시켰고, 2군은 동일한 검사속도에서 $^{99m}Tc$-HDP의 투여량을 변화시켜 영상을 획득하여 Standard data와 WBR기법으로 재구성한 영상을 비교 평가하였다. 분석방법은 대퇴골체부에서 뼈와 연부조직간 섭취비(Femur to tissue ratio: FTR)를 측정한 정량적인 분석과 핵의학과 전문의와 5년 이상의 실무경험을 가진 방사선사가 육안적인 분석을 하여 비교 평가하였다. 성능 실험에서 선원을 사용하여 실험한 결과 Planar WBR data는 Standard data에 비하여 분해능이 약 10% 향상되었으며, WBR 반치폭(Full-Width at Half-Maximum)은 16% 향상되었다(Standard data 8.45, WBR data 7.09). SPECT Phantom에서는 약 50%의 분해능이 향상되었으며, WBR 반치폭은 50% 향상되었다(Standard data 3.52, WBR data 1.65). 임상 연구에서는 $^{99m}Tc$-HDP 투여량을 고정시키고 검사속도를 20cm/min과 30 cm/min로 변화시킨 1군에서 Standard data와 WBR data의 전신 뼈 스캔 전면 영상에서 뼈 대비 연부조직간 섭취비는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (p=0.07). 검사속도를 고정하고 $^{99m}Tc$-HDP 투여량을 변화시킨 2군에서는 Standard data와 WBR data간의 전신 뼈 스캔전면 영상에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (p=0.458). 영상의 육안적 분석에서도 두 군 간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). NEMA test 결과 WBR 기법의 영상에서 분해능이 향상되는 결과를 나타내었고, 임상 실험에서는 기존 재구성 방법에서의 동일한 해상도를 가지면서도 검사시간을 단축시킬 수 있었으며 방사성의약품의 투여량도 줄일 수 있었다. 이미 알려진 바와 같이 WBR은 노이즈를 감소시켜 신호 대 잡음비를 증강시키는 새로운 영상 재구성 방법임을 확인 할 수 있으며 동일한 검사속도에서 투여량을 감소시킬 수 있어 수신자의 피폭선량 경감과 검사시간을 단축할 수 있었으며 임상 현장에서 유용하게 이용되리라 사료된다.

한국인의 최근 커피소비의 급격한 증가는 카페인의 과다 섭취로 이어지고 이는 칼슘흡수를 낮춰 골밀도 저하를 야기할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국 폐경 후 여성 커피소비자에서 우유섭취 여부가 골밀도에 차이를 가져올 수 있는지 파악하고자 국민건강영양조사 제4기 2, 3차년도(2008년, 2009년) 자료를 이용하여 50세 이상 폐경 후 여성을 대상으로 갑상선장애, 만성질환, 암을 진단받거나 치료받는 자, 골다공증 치료를 받는자와 여성호르몬제 복용자를 제외한 1,373명의 자료를 분석하였다. 커피와 우유 섭취 여부에 따라 커피는 섭취하나 우유를 섭취하지 않는군 (커피군), 커피와 우유를 모두 섭취하는군 (커피 우유군), 커피를 섭취하지 않으면서 우유를 섭취하는군 (우유군), 커피와 우유를 모두 섭취하지 않는군 (비섭취군)의 네 군으로 분류하고 부위별 골밀도와 영양상태를 비교하였다. 모든 자료는 해당 년도의 가중치를 적용한 후 일반선형모델을 사용하였고, 골밀도 비교시에는 연령, 체질량지수, 신체활동, 음주, 흡연, 칼슘섭취량을 보정하여 분석하였다. 유의성은 ${\alpha}=0.05$ 수준에서 검토하였다. 1) 전체 대상자 중 커피 우유군은 65세미만의 젊은 층이 많고 교육수준과 소득수준이 높고, 도시 거주자가 많았다. 반면에 비섭취군과 커피군은 65세 이상이 많고 교육수준과 소득수준이 낮으며 읍 면 거주자가 많았다. 커피 우유군에서 음주자의 비율이 높았으나, 신체적 활동 정도나 흡연에서는 군 간에 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 2) 총대퇴골과 요추부위의 골밀도 및 T-score값은 커피 우유군에서 세 군에 비해 가장 높았고 우유군, 커피군의 순으로 높았으며, 비섭취군에서 가장 낮았다. T-score값으로 골 건강상태를 판정하였을 때 유의성은 나타나지 않았으나, 커피 우유군에 골밀도 정상 해당자가 많고 우유군, 커피군이 그 뒤를 이었고, 비섭취군에 골다공증 해당자가 많이 나타나는 경향을 보였다. 3) 허리둘레를 제외하고는 체중, 신장, 체질량지수, 제지방조직량이 커피 우유군에서 모두 높았다. 반면에 커피군은 커피 우유군에 비해 이들 체위계측치가 모두 낮았고, 또한 우유군에 비해 신장은 낮고 체중은 높아 체질량지수가 높고 허리둘레도 높은 대신 제지방량은 낮았다. 우유군은 네군 중 체질량지수와 허리둘레가 가장 낮고 제지방량은 커피 우유군 다음으로 높았다. 비섭취군은 네군 중 체중, 신장, 제지방량이 가장 낮았고 허리둘레는 가장 높았다. 혈청부갑상선호르몬 농도는 비섭취군에서 높았고 우유군에서 가장 낮았다. 4) 커피 우유군은 대다수 식품군의 섭취 빈도가 다른 세군에 비해 높았다. 우유군은 총곡류와 우유류를 제외하고 대다수 식품군의 섭취빈도가 커피 우유군에 비해 낮았으나, 육 난류, 어류, 버섯류와 과일류는 커피 우유군에 필적하는 수준이었고 커피군에 비해서는 대다수 식품군에서 더 높은 섭취빈도를 나타내었다. 영양소섭취상태는 조사대상 영양소 중 나트륨과 칼륨에서만 유의성이 없었을 뿐, 칼슘을 포함하여 에너지, 단백질과 인, 철분, 비타민 C와 지방에너지비가 두 우유군 (커피 우유군과 우유군)에서 비슷하게 높았고, 5개 영양소의 평균 영양소적정섭취비 (MAR) 역시 두 우유군에서 높았다. 반면에 커피군과 비섭취군은 다수 식품군의 섭취빈도가 낮게 나타났고 미량 영양소의 섭취 수준도 상대적으로 낮았다. 이상의 연구결과에서 한국 폐경 여성 커피 섭취자에서 커피 비섭취자에 비하여 골밀도가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 커피와 우유를 함께 섭취한 군이 커피 단독군에 비해, 또 커피를 안 마시고 우유만 섭취하는 군에 비해 골밀도도 높고 체위와 체조성과 무기질 및 전반적인 영양상태가 양호한 것으로 나타났으며, 커피 단독군에 비해, 우유만 섭취하는 군이 골밀도와 체조성 및 영양섭취상태가 모두 양호한 결과를 보였다. 결론적으로 한국 폐경여성에서 우유를 포함한 다양한 식품군과 균형잡힌 영양섭취를 하는 경우, 단순히 커피 섭취가 골밀도에 영향을 주는 것 같지는 않다.

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.

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.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

결제서비스에 대한 기존의 연구는 결제서비스의 채택요인 또는 지속적인 사용에 영향을 미치는 요인 등 행동이론을 중심으로 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 요인들이 미치는 영향에 대한 결과는 결제서비스의 종류에 따라 또는 연구 지역에 따라 상이하게 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 결제 서비스의 종류나 문화등의 변수에 관계없이 새로운 결제 서비스가 성공할 수 있는 일반적인 요인이 무엇인지에 대한 의문에서 시작하게 되었다. 기존 연구에서 중요한 영향을 미친다고 제시한 채택요인들은 실제 결제사례의 결과에 비추어 보면 기존 연구에서 주장한 바와 일치하지 않는 경우를 볼 수 있다. 이러한 이론과 현실사이의 괴리를 발견하고 새로운 결제서비스가 성공하기 위한 근본적이고 결정적인 요인이 무엇인지에 대해 제시하고 사례연구를 통해 가설을 입증하고자 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 따라서 본 연구는 새로운 결제서비스가 성공하기 위해서는 기존 결제서비스의 비고객에게 이들이 결제할 수 있는 수단을 제공함으로써 새로운 결제 시장을 창출해야 함을 주장한다. 이를 위해 성공한 결제사례인 신용카드, 휴대폰 소액결제, PayPal, Square을 채택하였으며, 기존 결제서비스의 비고객을 3개의 계층으로 분류하여 분석하였다. 그리고 새로운 결제서비스가 어떠한 계층을 타겟으로 하였으며 이들에게 어떠한 결제수단을 제공하여 새로운 시장을 창출하였는지 제시한다. 사례 분석 결과, 성공 사례 모두 본 연구의 가설을 지지하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 새로운 결제서비스는 결국 기존의 결제수단으로 거래를 할 수 없었던 이들이 결제를 할 수 있도록 함으로써 성공할 수 있다는 가설을 입증하였다. 모바일 결제서비스가 아직 대중화되지 못한 원인을 본 가설에 비추어 분석해 보면 보면, 기존의 결제 인프라를 이용할 수 있는 바코드, QR코드 기반의 모바일 결제 서비스뿐만 아니라 NFC, BLE, 음파 등의 새로운 기술이 적용된 모바일 결제 서비스가 출시되는 등 새로운 시도가 계속되고 있다. 또한 모바일 월렛은 사용자들이 소지하고 있는 카드정보를 스마트폰에 저장하여 지갑 없이도 결제가 가능하며, 쿠폰 제공, 적립카드 관리, 신분증을 저장하는 등의 다양한 부가적인 기능을 제공하고 있어 성공할 것이라는 전망이 대두되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 서비스들은 본 연구 관점에서 보자면 기존 결제서비스의 비고객이(기존 결제수단을 이용할 수 없었던 사용자) 거래할 수 있는 새로운 결제 수단을 제공해 주지 못하고 있기 때문에 결국 초기사용자에게만 채택될 뿐 대중화되는데 한계가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 반면, 새로운 모바일 결제서비스의 성공사례 중 하나인 PaybyPhone은 기존 코인주차 결제서비스의 비고객인 현금 미소지 고객에게 스마트폰을 이용한 새로운 결제수단을 제공함으로써 새로운 주차 결제 시장을 창출하였으며 현재 미국뿐만 아니라 유럽시장까지 진출하는 등 급성장하고 있다. 결론적으로, 많은 이해관계자들이 모바일 결제시장을 선점하기 위해 다양한 형태의 모바일 결제 서비스를 출시하고 있지만 캐즘을 뛰어넘어 주류 시장에 성공적으로 정착할 수 있느냐는 결국 기존 결제서비스의 비고객군에게 그들이 필요로 하는 새로운 결제수단을 제공하는지의 여부에 달려있다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 모바일 결제 서비스의 기획자나 매니저들은 서비스 기획 시 기존 결제서비스의 비고객군은 누구인가? 그들은 어떠한 결제수단을 원하는가?를 먼저 고려해야 한다. 본 연구는 새로운 결제서비스가 성공하는데 미치는 요인에 대한 가설을 검증하기 위해 4개의 성공사례를 선택하였으며 각 사례에 동일한 가설을 검증하는 '반복연구논리'를 적용하였다. 본 가설을 더욱 공고히 하기 위해 사례연구방법론에서 제시하고 있는 경쟁가설을 포함한 후속 사례연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.
