  • 목적: 유방절제술 후 방사선치료와 항암화학요법을 시행한 유방암 환자의 치료성적을 연구하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1989년부터 1995년까지 유방절제술 후 여성 유방암 병기 II-III로 방사선치료를 받았던 83명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 연령 분포는 $23\~77$세였고 중앙 연령은 46세로 77명은 변형된 근치적유방절제술을, 5명은 근치적 유방절제술을, 1명은 단순유방절제술을 받았다. 80명($96\%$)의 환자에서 액와림프절 전이 소견을 보였고 병리학적 병기상 11명이 2기초, 23명이 2기말, 44명은 3기초, 5명은 3기말이었다. 방사선치료는 80명의 환자에서 "hocky-stick 조사문"을 사용하였고 방사선치료 선량의 중앙값은 일일 1.8 Gy, 총 50.4 Gy였다. 74명($89\%$)의 환자에서 항암화학요법이 병행되었으며, 54명($65\%$)의 환자에서 CMF 혹은 doxorubicin이 포함된 약제가 투여되었다. 추적기간은 $8\~17$개월로 중앙값은 82개월이었다. 결과: 5년 및 10년 전체생존율은 각각 $65\%$$49\%$이었다. 생존율에 대한 단변량 및 다변량분석에서 병기 2기와 항암화학요법을 병행한 환자군에서 유의한 생존율의 증가를 보여 주었다. 국소재발률은 $16\%$였으며, 방사선치료 후 $4\~84$개월(중앙값: 20개월) 사이에 발생하였다. 국소재발을 보인 13명 중 6명은 국소 재발 단독으로, 그 외 7명은 원격전이와 동시에 국소재발이 발생하였다. 방사선 치료시기와 관련하여 수술 후 6개월 이내에 방사선치료를 받았던 환자군 에서는 국소재발률이 $141\%$인 반면 6개월 이후에 방사선치료를 시행한 경우는 $27\%$였다(p=0.24). 국소재발과 관련하여 시행한 단변량 및 다변량 분석에서는 항암화학요법의 병행 유무가 가장 유의한 예후인자 였다. 그러나 방사선과 항암제의 병행 방법에 따른 생존율이나 국소재발률의 차이는 보이지 않았다. 전체 환자의 약 1/3에서 방사선치료 후 $2\~92$개월(중앙값: 21개월) 사이에 원격전이가 관찰되었고 가장 흔히 침범되는 장기는 골이었다. 17명($20\%$)의 환자에서 방사선폐렴이 확인되었고 방사선 완료 후 $2\~7$개월(중앙값: 3개월) 사이에 발생하였다 이중 $65\%$ (l1/17)의 환자에 서는 단순흉부촬영상 폐섬유화 소견이 잔존하였다. 결론: 본 연구를 통하여 유방절제술 후 방사선치료가 필요하였던 유방암 환자에서 항암제의 병행 치료는 방사선 단독치료에 비해 종양의 국소제어율과 생존율이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • 한국 전통 연지의 시원으로 평가되는 궁남지는 "삼국사기"에 나타난 무왕의 연지 축조 기록, 사비왕궁으로 추정되는 관북리 유적 및 화지산 이궁지 남쪽에 위치한 지리적 정황에 의해 궁남지로 비정되는 한편 사적으로 지정 복원되었다. 본 연구는 궁남지의 복원정비 과정에 나타난 진정성 왜곡과 전통의 발명에 초점을 맞추어 고찰되었으며, 연구의 요약된 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 마래방죽[마천지]으로 불려왔던 궁남지는 일제 강점기 때만 해도 3만여 평의 광대한 자연 저습지의 상태로 존재했다. 궁남지 복원에 주도적인 역할을 했던 홍사준은 1940년대만 해도 마래방죽에 백제시대 궁남지 유적으로 추정되는 섬과 석축시설이 남아있었고 그 위에 전각 및 정원을 조성한 흔적이 발견되었다고 전했다. 또한 화지산 이궁터의 조사 후 서동설화와 연관시켜 마래방죽을 궁남지와 동일시하는 의견을 피력하였는데, 이는 궁남지 복원정비의 이론적 근거로 작용하였다. 특히 홍사준이 제시한 스케치 도면 및 부여도엽에서 마래방죽의 형태와 규모를 엿볼 수 있었는데, 이러한 방죽의 형태는 일제 강점기에 촬영된 사진 속 상황과 근사한 것으로 판단된다. 2. 궁남지의 축소정비는 1960년대 추진된 경지정리사업에 의해 농경지로 불하되고 남은 잔여의 면적이 수습된 결과였다. 1965~67년에 있었던 최초 복원공사 이래 수차례 시행된 궁남지 정비를 통해 드러난 문제는 고고학적 사실에 근거하지 않은 채 후대의 시각으로 추정복원 되면서 경복궁 향원지의 구성을 그대로 복제한 데 기인한다. 구체적으로, 연못 안에 섬과 정자를 놓고 교량으로 섬과 육지를 연결시키는 구성은 궁남지가 경복궁 향원정을 모델로 만들어졌음을 방증해 준다. 하지만 교량설계에 참조된 취향교 조차도 조선시대의 형식으로 보기 어려운바 당시의 잘못된 복원설계의 동기와 발상이 궁남지의 가치를 크게 저하시켰다고 판단된다. 이처럼 전통조경의 소재로서 이미 널리 알려진 디자인 전범을 그대로 모방한 것은 경복궁이 갖는 미적 표상과 기호를 지향한 것으로서, 궁남지가 그와 유사한 장소 권위를 획득하도록 의도된 것이었다. 3. 궁남지는 애초부터 진정성이 결여된 채 정비된 사적이었기 때문에 정비 과정에서 경관의 왜곡과 전통성의 남용을 통해 유적의 역사적 맥락이 과감히 표방되어 갔다. 이러한 역사 재료의 무비판적인 활용과 왜곡을 불사한 정비방식은 1960~70년대 박정희 체제에 의해 주도된 민족주의 문화정책과 맞닿아 있다. '만들어진 전통담론'의 맥락에서, 박정희 시기의 문화정책은 국민의 기억에서 이상화된 과거를 취사선택하여 그것을 가시적으로 부각시키는 방향으로 전개되었다. 그 결과, 이전의 유적을 보수하는 수준을 넘어서서 화려하고 웅장한 모습이 부각된 사적지가 전국 곳곳에 생겨나게 되었는데, 궁남지가 초기에 순수한 보존의식으로 축소되어 정비되었음에도 불구하고 점차 본래 공간과는 상관없는 새로운 건조물들이 들어서고 기형적으로 확장 정비되어 갔던 사실은 그러한 국가주도 문화정책의 영향이 컸다고 판단된다.

  • 도시와 농촌지역의 폐결핵환자 순응도 및 치료에 관련된 요인을 조사하기 위하여 1992년 1월 1일부터 1993년 12월 31일까지 2년동안 도시지역 보건소에서 등록치료한 545명과 농촌지역 보건소 210명으로 총 755명을 대상으로 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 폐결핵환자의 일반적 특성을 지역으로 나누어보면 도시는 545명중 $20\sim29$세가 150명(27.5%)이고 농촌은 210명중 $60\sim69$세가 45명(21.4%) $70\sim79$세가 45명(21.4%)으로 유의하게 많았고, 폐결핵환자의 폐결핵과 관련된 특성은 도시는 초회X-선 검진결과 경증이 54.5%, 농촌은 중등증이 44.3% 많았다(P<0.01). 추후X-선 검진은 도시지역이 94.3% 실시한 것으로 농촌지역 90.0%보다 잘하는 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 폐결핵 발견경위는 도시지역은 보건소 유료X-선 검진 56.7% 농촌지역은 보건소 무료X-선 검진 35.2%로 가장 많았다(P<0.01), 폐결핵환자의 완치자 수는 도시가 90.8% 농촌이 87.1%로 도시지역이 높았다. 폐결핵환자의 동거가족이 있는 경우는 도시지역이 79.1% 이고 농촌은 88.1%로 농촌이 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). 폐결핵환자의 폐결핵과 관련된 특성별 치료효율은 배양검사결과 양성인자의 완치자수는 도시가 201명(93.5%)이고 농촌은 108명중 99명(91.7%)으로 음성인 도시 330명중 294명(89.1%) 농촌 102명중 84명(82.4%)으로 배양에서 양성으로 나온사람이 음성인자보다 완치율이 높았다. 일반적 특성별 수약협조에 관한 사항의 유의한 관련성이 있는 요인은 연령, 동거가족유무, 사회경제적상태 등이고 폐결핵과 관련된 특성별 수약협조에 관한 사항은 방사선 소견, 배양검사 등이었다(P<0.05). 생존분석에 의한 도시에서의 등록기간별 규칙수약 누적율은 추적 6개월째 92.5%이고 농촌은 88.1%였다. 규칙수약실패율은 도시가 2개월째 3.75%, 농촌은 4개월째 4.15%로 가장 높았다. 치료결과에 관련된 요인들에 대한 다변량분석결과(Logisric Regression) 도시는 X-선 검진과 수약협조가 유의한 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 농촌은 통계적으로 유의한 것은 없었다. 이는 sample size가 작아서 유의하지 않은 것처럼 나온 것이라 생각된다. 수약협조에 관련된 요인에 대한 다변량 분석결과 (Logistic Regression) 도시는 초회 X-선, 객담 배양검사결과와 동거가족 유무가 유의한 변수였다(P<0.05). 즉 가족이 있는 환자가 치료지시이행이 높은 것으로, 이는 장기간의 치료를 요하는 질병일수록 가족의 지지가 중요한 것임을 시사한다 하겠다. 따라서 동거가족이 있고, 규칙수약하는 환자는 문제가 없는 것으로 폐결핵환자의 치료 순응도를 높이기 위해서는 치료실시전 보건교육을 보다 철저히 하여 규칙수약토록 하여야 하며 특히 동거가족이 없는 환자에 더욱더 관심을 가져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 연구배경: 중환자의 예후를 정량화하는 체점체계 중 APACHE III system은 중환자실 제 1병일 점수는 물론 일갱신 점수도 환자의 위험도를 갱신하는 것이 알려진 바 있어 패혈증 환자들에서 APACHE III score의 예후 지표로서의 가치를 알아 보고자 하였다. 방법: 48명의 패혈증 환자들에서 후향적으로 중환자실 제 1병일, 2병일 및 3병일의 APACHE III score를 조사하여 패혈증 생존자와 비생존자 간의 차이를 분석하였다. 결과: 패혈증 생존자는 비생존자에 비해 APACHE III system에 따른 중환자실 제 1병일 정수가 유의하게 낮았으며, 제 2일 및 제 3일의 점수도 각각의 전날 점수에 비해 유의하게 감소하였다. 폐혈증 비생존자의 경우 제 1병일 점수가 생존자에 비해 높았고, 제 2병일 및 제 3병일 점수 역시 각각의 전날 점수에 비해 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 결론: APACHE III system에 따른 제 1병일 점수 및 제 3병일까지의 점수의 일변동은 패혈증 환자의 예후를 반영하는 것으로 사려된다.

  • 연구배경: Auto-PEEP 혹은 intrinsic PEEP은 호기말에 폐용적이 전체 호흡기계의 이완 용적으로 돌아오지 않음으로써, 증가된 호흡기계의 탄성반도압만큼 호기말 폐포내압(alveolar pressure) 이양의 값을 보이는 것을 말한다. Auto-PEEP 이 존재하는 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자에게 externa1 PEEP을 적용하면 환자의 호흡 일을 줄일 수 있어서, 질환의 급성악화시 혹은 기계호흡으로부터의 이탈시 환자의 자발호흡을 보조하기 위한 요법으로 제시되고 있다. 이에 기계호흡중인 환자에서 auto-PEEP의 존재가 호흡 일에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, externa1 PEEP의 사용이 auto- PEEP에 의해 증가된 호흡 일을 줄이는지를 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 호흡부전으로 기계호흡을 하고 있는 환자 15명을 대상으로 연구가 이루어 졌으며, 이들 7명에서 auto-PEEP이 관찰되었고(auto-PPEP군) 8명에서 auto-PEEP이 auto-PEEP군). 양군 간의 환자의 호흡역학적 지표의 차이를 조사하였으며, auto-PEEP이 존재하는 환자들에 대해 3cm $H_2O$의 external PEEP을 적용한 뒤 호흡역학적 지표들의 변화를 조사하였다. 호흡역학적 지표는 상시호흡량(tidal volume, 이하 $V_T$), 분당 호흡수, 분당환기량 (minute ventilation 이하 $V_E$), 최고흡기유량(peak inspiratory flow rate, 이하 PIFR), 최고호기유행peak expiratory flow rate, 이하 PEFR), 최고흡기압(peak inspiratory pressure, 이하 PIP), $T_I/T_{TOT}$, auto-PEEP, 폐 동적탄성 (dynamic compliance of lung, 이하 Cdyn), 호기 기도저항(expiratory airway resistance, 이하 RAWe), 평균 기도저항(mean airway resistance, 이하 RAWm), $P_{0.1}$, 환자에 의해 수행되는 호흡 일 (work of breathing performed by patient, 이하 호흡 일), pressure-time product(이하 PTP)등이었다.

  • 경주 남산의 불적에 대한 본격적 조사는 일제강점기 일본인 학자에 의해 시작되었다. 그래서 일제강점기 경주 남산 불적조사에 대한 연구는 오늘날 경주 남산 불적을 심도 있게 고찰하는데 빼놓을 수 없는 선행 과제라고 할 수 있다. 경주 남산의 불적조사는 1920년대부터 본격적으로 시작되어 한일병합을 전후한 초기 조사는 예비 조사 정도로 간주되어 그다지 주목을 받지 못했다. 그러나 그것은 기초 조사로 후속 조사의 발판이 되었고, 1910년대에 남산이 불적의 보고로 널리 알려지게 된 계기가 되었다는 점에서 큰 의미를 지닌다. 특히 1915년 경주에서 반출되어 경성 경복궁에서 개최된 시정 5년 기념 조선물산공진회에 출품된 삼릉계 약사여래좌상은 관람객의 눈길을 가장 끄는 미술관 중앙홀에 전시되어 세간에 불적으로서의 경주 남산을 알리는 데 큰 역할을 했다. 이 약사여래좌상은 남산 불상 중에서 가장 원상태를 잘 유지하고 있고 아름다웠기 때문에 공진회에 출품된 것으로 일반적으로 생각되어 왔다. 그러나 그 반출은 한일병합을 전후하여 구상된 석굴암 경성 이전계획과 깊은 관계를 맺으면서 진행되었다. 석굴암 경성 이전계획은 데라우치 마사타케가 중심이 되어 구상된 식민 이데올로기인 '일선동조론'과 '조선정체성론'을 바탕으로 조선왕조의 상징인 경복궁을 해체하고 그 한복판에 과거의 영광을 상징하는 석굴암을 안치시킴으로써 일본 제국에 의한 새로운 시대가 열린 것을 시각적으로 선언하려는 기획이었다. 그러나 그 구상이 무산되자 석굴암 본존불 대신에 경성으로 반출된 것이 다름 아닌 삼릉계 약사여래좌상이었다. 약사여래좌상에 대한 본격적인 조사는 1911년 세키노 다다시가 실시했으나 그 위치를 세키노에게 알린 것은 모로가 히데오나 고다이라 료조와 같은 경주 거주 일본인이었을 가능성이 크다. 그들 현지인은 총독부로부터 요청을 받아 공진회에 출품할 만한 불상을 찾고 있었을 것으로 보인다. 약사여래좌상은 총독부와 세키노 다다시, 그리고 경주 거주 일본인들 사이의 긴밀한 연계 속에서 경성으로 반출되었다고 할 수 있다. 그것은 경주 남산의 불적이 그 신비의 베일을 벗기는 과정이기도 했다. 요컨대 초기 남산 불적조사는 기초 조사로 중요한 의미를 지니고 있으나 석굴암 경성 이전계획과 1915년 공진회의 성공적 개최라는 데라우치 총독의 제국주의적 야망과 깊은 관계 속에서 진행되어 순수한 학문적 목적으로 이루어졌다고 하기 어렵다. 한편 석굴암 경성 이전계획이 좌절되고 경성으로 반출될 가능성이 컸던 미륵곡 석조여래좌상이 현지에서 보존될 수 있었던 것에는 경주 조선인의 저항이 적지 않은 영향을 미친 것으로 보인다. 본고에서는 자세히 논할 수 없었으나 그들을 단순한 방관자가 아니라 역사를 움직이는 주체로 부각시킬 연구가 요구된다.

  • 텍스트를 바탕으로 한 차원 기반 감성 분석(Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis)은 다양한 산업에서 유용성을 주목을 받고 있다. 기존의 차원 기반 감성 분석에서는 타깃(Target) 혹은 차원(Aspect)만을 고려하여 감성을 분석하는 연구가 대다수였다. 그러나 동일한 타깃 혹은 차원이더라도 감성이 나뉘는 경우, 또는 타깃이 없지만 감성은 존재하는 경우 분석 결과가 정확하지 않다는 한계가 존재한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 차원과 타깃을 모두 고려한 감성 분석(Target-Aspect-Sentiment Detection, 이하 TASD) 모델이 제안되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고, TASD 기존 모델의 경우 구(Phrase) 간의 관계인 지역적인 문맥을 잘 포착하지 못하고 초기 학습 속도가 느리다는 문제가 있었다. 본 연구는 TASD 분야 내 기존 모델의 한계를 보완하여 분석 성능을 높이고자 하였다. 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 기존 모델에 합성곱(Convolution Neural Network) 계층을 더하여 차원-감성 분류 시 보조 손실(Auxiliary loss)을 추가로 사용하였다. 즉, 학습 시에는 합성곱 계층을 통해 지역적인 문맥을 좀 더 잘 포착하도록 하였으며, 학습 후에는 기존 방식대로 차원-감성 분석을 하도록 모델을 설계하였다. 본 모델의 성능을 평가하기 위해 공개 데이터 집합인 SemEval-2015, SemEval-2016을 사용하였으며, 기존 모델 대비 F1 점수가 최대 55% 증가했다. 특히 기존 모델보다 배치(Batch), 에폭(Epoch)이 적을 때 효과적으로 학습한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시된 모델로 더욱 더 세밀한 차원 기반 감성 분석이 가능하다는 점에서, 기업에서 상품 개발 및 마케팅 전략 수립 등에 다양하게 활용할 수 있으며 소비자의 효율적인 구매 의사결정을 도와줄 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

  • 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

  • 국유림경영(國有林經營)은 어느 나라를 막론(莫論)하고 그 사명(使命)과 경영목적(經營目的)으로 봐서 중요시(重要視)되고 있다. 한국(韓國)의 국유림(國有林)도 또한 한국경제(韓國經濟)의 비약적(飛躍的)인 발전(發展)에 따라 목림수요(木林需要)의 계속적(繼續的)인 증가(增加)로 국가적(國家的)인 사명(使命)과 산업경제적(產業經濟的)으로 더욱 중요(重要)한 위치(位置)에 놓이게 되었다. 그러나 지금(只今)까지 한국임정(韓國林政)의 주요목표(主要目標)가 산림자원(山林資源)의 보존(保存)과 국토보전기능(國土保全機能)의 회복(回復)에만 급급(汲汲)한 나머지 임업(林業)의 경제생산성(經濟生產性)을 높이는 산업정책적의의(產業政策的意義)가 적었음을 우리는 부인(否認)할 수 없다. 그리하여 한국(韓國)의 임업(林業)도 한국경제구조중(韓國經濟構造中)의 일환(一環)으로서 산업적(產業的)으로 발전(發展)시킬 필요(必要)에 직면(直面)하게 되어 국유림(國有林)도 합리적(合理的)인 산림시업(山林施業)에 기초(基礎)를 둔 산림생산력(山林生產力)의 증강(增强)이 절실(切實)하게 되었고, 그렇게 하므로써 결과적(結果的)으로 우수(優秀)한 산림(山林)이 조성(造成)되어 자연(自然), 산림(山林)의 국토보전기능(國土保全機能) 기타(其他)의 공익적기능(公益的機能)도 발휘(發揮)될 수 있을 것으로 본다. 한국(韓國)의 국유림(國有林)은 1908년(年) 임적계출시(林籍屆出時)의 역사적(歷史的) 소산(所產)으로서 그 후(後) 국토보존(國土保存)과 산림경영(山林經營) 학술연구(學術硏究) 기타(其他) 공익상(公益上) 국유(國有)로 보존(保存)할 필요(必要)가 있는 요존림(要存林)과 이에 속(屬)하지 않는 부요존림(不要存林)으로 구분(區分)하고 요존국유림중(要存國有林中) 국가(國家)가 직접(直接) 임업경영(林業經營)을 목적(目的)으로 하는 산림(山林)은 3개영림서(個營林署)에서 관리(管理)하고 있으며 기타(其他)는 각시도(各市道) 및 타부처소관(他部處所管)으로 되어있는데 국유림(國有林)은 1971년말현재(年末現在) 전국산림면적(全國山林面積)의 19.5%(1,297,708 ha)를 점(占)하고 있으나 임목축적(林木蓄積)은 전국산림총축적량(全國山林總蓄積量)의 50.1%($35,406,079m^3$)를 점(占)하고 연간(年間) 국내용재생산량(國內用材生產量)의 23.6%($205,959m^3$)를 생산(生產)하고 있는 사실(事實)은 한국임업(韓國林業)에 있어 국유림(國有林)이 점(占)하고 있는 지위(地位)가 중요시(重要視)되고 있는 이유(理由)이다. 따라서 국유림경영(國有林經營)의 성패(成敗)는 한국임업(韓國林業)의 성쇠(盛衰)를 좌우(左右)한다고 단언(斷言)할 수도 있을 것이다. 산림(山林)이 가진 모든 기능(機能)이 가 중요(重要)하지만 특(特)히 목재생산(木材生產)은 한국(韓國)과 같이 매년(每年) 막대(莫大)한 외재도입(外材導入)(1971년도(年度)는 $3,756,000m^3$ 도입(導入)에 160,995,000불(弗) 지출(支出))을 필요(必要)로 하는 임업실정(林業實情)임에 비춰 더욱 중요시(重要視)되고 이에 대처(對處)하기 위(爲)한 산림생산력(山林生產力)의 증강(增强)은 시급(時急)한 과제(課題)인 것이다. 그러나 임업생산(林業生產)은 장기생산(長期生產)이기 때문에 경제발전(經濟發展)에 따른 급격(急激)한 목재수요(木材需要)의 증가(增加)에 직시(直時) 대처(對處)하기 어려우므로 장기적(長期的)인 전망(展望)밑에 자금(資金)과 기술(技術)을 효과적(効果的)으로 투입(投入)하고 국유림경영(國有林經營)을 합리화(合理化)하고 능률화(能率化)하여 생산력증강(生產力增强)을 기(期)하여야 할 것이다. 한국(韓國)의 국유림사업(國有林事業)에는 기술적(技術的) 재정적(財政的)인 애로(隘路)와 인건비(人件費)의 증대(增大) 노임(勞賃)의 상승(上昇) 행정제경비(行政諸經費)의 증가등(增加等) 많은 난관(難關)이 가로놓여있다 하겠으나 앞으로의 국유림(國有林)의 발전여부(發展與否)는 사회(社會) 경제(經濟)의 발전(發展)에 적응(適應)한 기술(技術)과 경영방식(經營方式)을 채용(採用)할 수 있느냐 없느냐에 달려있다고 본다. 이러한 관점(觀點)에서 본조사연구(本調査硏究)에서는 한국(韓國)의 국유림경영(國有林經營)의 실태(實態)를 파악분석(把握分析)하고 불합리(不合理)한 문제점(問題點)들을 찾아서 정책적(政策的) 기술적(技術的) 재정적면(財政的面)에서 개선(改善)할 수 있도록 하는데에 본연구(本硏究)의 목적(目的)이 있다. 본논문작성(本論文作成)에 있어 국유림(國有林)의 각종통계(各種統計)는 산림청(山林廳)이 1971년말현재(年末現在) 산림기본통계(山林基本統計) 및 1973년도(年度) 산림사업실적통계(山林事業實績統計)에 의거(依據)하였고 기타(其他)는 현지영림서(現地營林署)에서 얻은 자료(資料)를 인용(引用)하였다. 논자(論者)는 본연구결과(本硏究結果) 다음과 같은 국유림개선방안(國有林改善方案)을 제시(提示)코저 한다. 1) 국유림조직기구(國有林組織機構)에 있어 영림서(營林署)의 증설(增設)로 집약적(集約的)안 국유림경영(國有林經營)을 도모(圖謀)하고 경영계획계(經營計劃係)를 과기구(課機構)로 강화(强化)한다. 2) 보호직원(保護職員)의 증원(增員)으로 1인당책임구역면적(人當責任區域面積)을 1,000~2,000ha 정도(程度)로 축소(縮小)시킨다. 3) 국유림경영(國有林經營) 일선책임자(一線責任者)인 영림서장(營林署長)의 빈번(頻繁)한 인사이동(人事異動)으로 일관성(一貫性)있는 경영계획실행(經營計劃實行)에 차질(蹉跌)을 가져오지 않도록 한다. 4) 경영계획업무(經營計劃業務)에 있어 부실(不實)한 계획(計劃)이 되지 않도록 충분(充分)한 예산(豫算)과 인원(人員)을 배정(配定)하여 기초적(基礎的)인 조사(調査)를 면밀(綿密)히 한다. 5) 1영림서(營林署) 1사업구원칙(事業區原則)을 현실(現實)시키고 1사업구면적(事業區面積)은 평균(平均) 2만(萬) ha 이하(以下)로 한다. 6) 장기차입금(長期借入金)으로 조속(早速)히 미립목지(未立木地)를 입목지화(立木地化)하고 활엽수림(濶葉樹林)의 수종갱신(樹種更新)과 활엽수림(濶葉樹林)의 이용방도(利用方途)를 개발(開發)한다. 7) 조림(造林) 및 양묘사업(養苗事業)의 기계화(機械化) 약제화(藥劑化) 방안(方案)을 강구(講究)하고 실천(實踐)하므로써 노동력(勞動力) 부족(不足)에 대비(對備)한다. 8) 보호사업(保護事業)에 있어 산화피해율(山火被害率)이 외국(外國)에 비(比)하여 막대(莫大) 하므로 제도변(制度面)이나 장비면(裝備面)에서 개선(改善)되어야 하고 방화선(防火線)의 설치(設置) 및 유지(維持)에 필요(必要)한 최소한도(最小限度)의 예산(豫算)을 확보(確保)한다. 9) 제품생산사업(製品生產事業)을 강화(强化)하고 생산(生產) 가공(加工) 유통(流通)을 계열화(系列化)하여 지원민(地元民)에게 경제적혜택(經濟的惠澤)을 준다. 10) 임도망(林道網)의 시설정비(施設整備)와 치산사업(治山事業)은 국유림자체(國有林自體)의 개발(開發)을 위(爲)해서나 지방개발(地方開發)을 위(爲)해서 필요(必要)하므로 일반회계(一般會計)의 부담(負擔)으로 추진(推進)한다. 11) 임업(林業)의 기계화(機械化)는 목재수요(木材需要)의 증대(增大)와 노력부족(勞力不足)에 따라 필연적(必然的)이므로 가계도입(機械導入) 및 국산화(國產化), 사용자(使用者)의 양성(養成) 및 기계관리(機械管理)에 만전(萬全)을 기(期)한다. 12) 노무사정(勞務事情)은 악화(惡化)할 것이 예견(豫見)되므로 임업노동자(林業勞動者)의 확보(確保) 및 복리후생대책(福利厚生對策)을 수립(樹立)한다. 13) 경제변동(經濟變動)에 따른 수지악화시(收支惡化時)에도 일정규모(一定規模)의 지출(支出)을 보장(保障)하기 위(爲)하여 잉여금(剩餘金)의 일부(一部)은 기금(基金)으로 확보(確保)하고 나머지는 확대조림(擴大造林) 임도사업등(林道事業等) 선행투자사업(先行投資事業)에 사용(使用)한다.
