  • The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

  • 연구배경: LPS에 대한 숙주의 초기반응은 proin-flammatory cytokines의 분비이다. 이러한 "초기 반응" cytokines는 인지세포에서 표적세포 등에 신호를 전달하여 다른 대식세포를 포함한 면역세포, 폐장내 간엽성 세포들을 자극하여 화학주성인자, 성장인자, 유착분자 등의 발현을 증폭시키게 되면서 전염증단계가 정열하게된다. 내독소유발 급성폐손상에서 폐장내 proinflammatory cytokine 기원 세포들은 활성화된 대식세포/단핵구 외에 폐조직으로 유입된 동원 호중구의 역할이 중요하게 인식되고 있으며 이외에도 간엽성 세포들에서도 발현되고 있는 것으로 밝혀지고 있다. 저자들은 실험 백서에서 내독소를 정백내 주입하여 유발시킨 급성폐손상에서 proinflammatory cytokines인 TNF-$\alpha$ 및 IL 6 기원의 주된 세포(들)를 규명해 보고자 하였다. 방 법: 체중 $250{\pm}50g$의 건강체인 웅성 Sparague-Dawley를 정상 대조군(Normal Control Saline Group)과 내독소유발 급성폐손상군으로 분류하였으며 급성폐손상군은 백혈구결핍 내독소군(CPA-ETX Group)과 대조-내독소군(ETX Group)으로 하였다. 실험백서를 phenthotal sodium으로 마취한 후 생리식염수 0.4ml(control) 혹은 동량의 생리식염수에 용해시킨 LPS (055 : B5 E. coli, Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO), 5mg/kg를 백서 미부정맥으로 주사한 후 각각 0 및 3, 6 시간에 회생시켰다. 백혈구결핍 내독소군은 cyclophophamide, 7mg/kg를 복강내 주입하여 5 일째에 LPS를 같은 방법으로 주입하여 3, 6시간에 각각 희생시켰다. 각군에서 기관지폐포세척술을 전술한 바와 같이 시행하여 총백혈구수, 분획세포수 및 총단백량을 산출하였고 기관지폐포세척 TNF-$\alpha$ 및 IL 6를 생물학적 방법으로 각각 측정하여 비교하였다. 동시에 기관지폐포세척술을 하지 않은 정상대조군 및 대조-내독소군에서 TNF-$\alpha$ 및 IL 6 단백에 대한 면역조직화학염색을 시행하였다. 결 과: 기관지폐포세척 세포 및 단백량 측정 결과 정상대조군에 비해 대조-내독소군에서 기관지폐포세척 총백혈구수는 3, 6 시간째에 각각 유의한 증가를 보였으나 (p<0.01), 백혈구결핍 내독소군과는 차이가 없었다. 대조-내독소군은 정상대조군에 비해 기관지폐포세척단핵구 및 호중구수가 3, 6 시간째에 각각 유의하게 증가하였으며 (p<0.05) 특히 호중구 분획율의 유의한 증가를 동반하였다(p<0.05). 백혈구결핍 내독소군은 정상대조군에 비해 3, 6시간째에 각각 기관지폐포세척 호중구수 및 호중구분획율의 유의한 감소를 보였으나 (p<0.05) 기관지폐포세척 단핵구수 및 단핵구 분획율에서는 양군간에 차이가 없었다. 기관지폐포세척 총단백량은 내독소군에서 3, 6시간째에 각각 정상대조군에 비해 유의한 증가를 보였으며(p<0.05) 내독소군간에는 6시간째에 대조-내독소군에서 백혈구결핍 내독소군에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 기관지폐포세척 TNF-$\alpha$ 및 IL-6의 농도는 정상대조군에서 각각 $0.06{\pm}0.06$ U/ml(n=5) 및 $0.45{\pm}0.23$ U/ml(n=5)이었다. 내독소군에서 TNF-$\alpha$와 IL-6는 정상대조군에 비해 유의하게 상승되었으며 (p<0.05), 백혈구결핍 내독소군과 대조-내독소군간에 차이는 없었다. 면역조직화학염색결과 내독소 정맥 주입 3시간 및 6시간후의 폐조직에서 TNF-$\alpha$ 및 IL-6 단백이 폐포대식세포와 간질대식세포들에서 강하게 염색되는 소견을 관찰할 수 있었다. 결 론: 내독소혈증 유발 급성 폐손상의 초기 손상에 중요한 역할을 하는 proinflammatory cytokine의 주된 기원세포는 활성화된 폐포대식세포/단핵구세포들일 것으로 사료되며 이들 세포가 내독소혈증 유발 급성폐손상 발생에 주도적인 역할을 할 것으로 사료되었다.

  • 밀품종 영광외 12품종을 공시하여 맥류연구소 시험포장에서 1990년에 파종하여 이상형 밀품종육성을 위한 생리생태적 구성형질의 변화를 구명하고자 난괴법 3반복으로 시험하였으며 그 결과를 요약하면 아래와 같다. 1. 1959년부터 1980년까지 21년간 출수기가 17일, 개화기가 15일, 성숙기가 14일 각각 단축되었으며 조숙성품종육성을 위하여 출수일수 및 등숙일수의 단축이 효과적이었다. 2. 출수기에 관여하는 생리적요인은 춘추파성, 광주반응, 협의의 조만성 및 내한성인데 조숙화를 위하여 파성은 III~IV급, 단일반응은 새밀, 중국8001보다 둔감한 품종, 내한성은 그루밀, 새밀 정도인 품종 등이 요구된다. 3. 성숙기에 관여하는 요인은 출수일수, 개화일수, 등숙일수로서 출수일수를 단축시키는 것이 성숙기를 빠르게 하는데 가장 효과적이며 그 다음이 등숙일수이며 개화일수의 단축은 성숙기를 빠르게 하는데 효과가 적어 보였다. 4. 이상초형은 그루밀과 새밀의 단간직립형이며 반왜성유전자를 2개정도가진 간장은 70~80cm의 단간종이 다수확재배에 알맞고 간장이 짧으면 수장을 길게 하거나 소수당립수가 많은 것이 바람직하다. 5. 등숙중인 6월 2일, 8일, 15일의 경, 엽신, 수의 평균 생체중비율에 있어서 다수성품종은 수의 비율이 45-49%정도이며 과거육성품종에 비하여 최근육성품종은 경생체중은 낮으나 유생체중은 높고 엽신의 생체중 차이는 적었다. 6. 등숙중인 6월 2일, 8일, 15일의 m$^2$당 평균건물중 비율에 있어서 다수성인 최근품종은 과거품종에 비하여 경, 엽신의 건물중 비율이 낮아지고 수의 건물중 비율(40-80%)이 높아졌으며 영광, 장광, 진광 등은 수 또는 엽신에 비하여 경의 건물중이 높았다. 7. 엽면적지수는 수잉기를 정점으로한 정규곡선을 그리며 조숙다수성품종은 엽면적지수의 최고점이 조기에 오고 만생종은 늦게 최고점에 달하였다. 최고점의 엽면적지수는 6.4~6.8이었고 측정시기별 엽면적지수합계치는 최근품종이 24.6~28.8범위인데 과거품종은 이보다 훨씬 많았다. 8. 조숙다수성인 조광, 내밀, 그루밀, 새밀의 엽록소함량은 월동후 4월 21일까지 높았고 출수후(5월 12일~26일)의 엽록소함량도 높았으며 과거품종인 영광, 장광, 진광, 원광, 신광은 엽록소함량이 낮았다. 9. 순동화율은 다수성품종일수록, 초성이 좋을수록 높았고 장간인 과거품종은 순동화율이 낮았다. 10. 수당립중은 만생종보다 조생종이 낮으며 입모중 1일당 수분감소율은 평균 1.2%, 영광, 진광, 남광, 원광, 신광은 1.5%이었고 조광, 내밀, 그루밀, 새밀, 올밀, 청계밀, 중국8001는 9~1.1이었다. 11. 과거품종에 비하여 최근품종은 다수품종이 많으며 수량의 증가는 직선적으로 증가되고 조광, 내밀, 그루밀, 새밀이 가장 다수성품종이었다. 수량구성요소를 보면 수원 육성품종은 m$^2$ 당수수와 천립중의 증가에 의하여, 밀양육성품종은 m$^2$당수수의 증가에 의하여 수량이 높아졌으며 앞으로 수원에서는 수당립수, 밀양에서는 수당립수와 천립중의 증가에 주력해야겠다.

  • 수도 단간품종 육성을 위한 자료를 얻고자 Japonica 단간인 단간백망, Indica 단간인 T(N)1 그리고 Japonica$\times$Indica의 단간고정계통인 IE51의 3개품종을 단간친으로 하고 우리나라 품종인 진흥, 관옥, 및 팔굉을 모본으로 하는 관옥$\times$단간백망, 팔굉$\times$단간백망, 진흥$\times$T(N)1, 관옥$\times$T(N)1 및 관옥$\times$IE51의 5개조합의 $\textrm{F}_2$를 재배시기, 질소시용수준, 재식밀도 및 재배지를 달리한 여러 가지 환경조건하에 공시하여 간장 및 이에 관련된 형질의 유전양상과 생태적 변이를 추구하는 한편 관옥$\times$T(N)1, 진흥$\times$T(N)1 및 관옥$\times$IE51의 3개조합에 대하여는 전 공시개체수의 10%의 단간개체를 선발하여 $\textrm{F}_2$에서의 간장에 대한 선발효과를 검정하였다. 이를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 유전분리 가. Japonica 단간인 단간백망은 관옥 또는 팔굉과 교잡한 $\textrm{F}_2$에서 장간 : 단간이 3:1의 분리비를 나타내었다. 따라서 단간백망의 간장은 단순열성유전인자에 비하여 지배되었음을 알 수 있었다. 나. 상기 두 조합의 $\textrm{F}_2$의 수장분리에 있어서도 장수 : 단수의 분리비는 3:1로 나타났으므로 간장지배인자가 수장 표현에도 크게 관여하는 것으로 판단되었다. 다. 초장의 경우에 있어서도 간장의 분리양상과 대동소이하였다. 라. Indica의 Semi-dwarf인 T(N)1은 진흥 또는 관옥과 교잡한 $\textrm{F}_2$에서 3:1의 단순한 간장분리를 하지 않고 연속적인 정규분포양상을 나타내는 것으로 보아 상대품종들은 T(N)1의 단간인자의 대립유전자를 가지고 있지 않는 것으로 추정된다. 특히 진흥과 교잡한 $\textrm{F}_2$의 간장분리에서는 장간방향으로 초월분리현상을 나타내었다. 수장과 초장의 분리양상은 역시 간장의 경우와 유사하였다. 마. IE51은 관옥과 교잡하였을 때 간장, 수장 및 초장의 $\textrm{F}_2$분리양상이 T(N)1의 그것과 동일하였으므로 IE51의 단간인자는 곧 T(N)1으로부터 도입된 것임을 알 수 있었다. 2. 생태적 변이 가. 일반적으로 재배시기가 늦어짐에 따라 간장 및 초장의 감소를 보였으나 수장의 변이는 비교적 적었으며 그 감소정도는 품종 또는 조합에 따라 다소 달랐다. 그러나 이들 형질의 유전분리양상은 재배시기의 영향을 거의 받지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 나. 제 3절간까지의 절간장은 대체로 간장의 분리양상과 비슷하였다. 따라서 간장의 표현은 제 3절간장까지의 역할이 비교적 중요하다고 생각된다. 다. 질소시용량의 차이가 간장 및 관련형질에 미치는 영향은 비교적 적었다. 물론 질소증시에 따라 이들 형질이 증대되는 경향은 있었으나 품종 또는 그 조합특성에 따라 그 정도가 달랐다. 라. 재식밀도를 달리할 경우 간장 및 관련형질에 미치는 영향은 적은 편 이었으며 품종과 조합에 따라 그 변이정도가 달랐다. 그러나 밀식구에서 이들 형질이 다소 증대되는 경향은 인정할 수 있었다. 마. 교배친품종들의 간장, 수장 및 초장은 저위도지방에서 재배할수록 짧아졌는데 이는 감온성반응때문인 것으로 추측되었으며 $\textrm{F}_2$ 잡종에서는 어느 조합이든 남부인 밀양에서 가장 길었는데 이는 분리된 만생화개체의 고온에 의한 생육조장에 영향한 것으로 추측되었다. 3. 선발효과 가. 간장의 유전력은 관옥$\times$T(N)1에서 92%, 진흥$\times$T(N)1에서 55% 그리고 관옥$\times$IE51에서 74%로서 조합에 따라 다르나 상당히 높은 편이었다. 나. $\textrm{F}_2$전공시개체중에서 단간쪽의 10% 개체를 선발하여 G$_3$시험에서 얻은 실제적인 간장단축량은 관옥$\times$T(N)1조합에서 20.8cm, 관옥$\times$IE51조합에서 8.7cm 그리고 진흥$\times$T(N)1조합에서 20.0cm로서 기대치에 비교적 가까운 선발효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 다. 간장의 선발이 수장에 미치는 영향은 조합에 따라 상이하였으나 관옥$\times$T(N)1조합에서는 $\textrm{F}_2$모집단에 비하여 수장의 단축을 거의 인정할 수 없었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 간장, 수장 및 초장의 생태적 변이는 비교적적은 편으로 유전적 분리 범위내에 국한되었으며 단간백망의 간장 표현에 관여하는 단순열성인자는 단수 및 소립등의 불량형질을 동반하므로서 실용가치가 없는 반면에 T(N)1의 단간인자는 이러한 불량형질과 연쇄되지 않는 장점을 가졌으므로 단간모본으로서의 활용도가 높은 것으로 인정되었다.

  • This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.
