The surgical management of symptomatic tetralogy of Fallot in infants is debatable. From November 1986 to August 1990, 21 infants under 10 kg of the body weight with tetralogy of Fallot underwent primary repair. Mean body weight was 8.6$\pm$1.40kg. All the patient were clubbing and there were cyanotic except for 1 patient. Transannular patch was laid down in 8 patients. Right ventricular outflow patch was used with Goretex but pericardial patch was utilized in 3 patients at the initial period of operation. Incidence of the complications following total correction of tetralogy of Fallot was more frequent in the patients placed with transannular patch compared to the patients with right ventricular outflow tract patch. Two deaths occurred in the 21 patients, Hospital mortality was 9.4%, but there were no operative deaths in the patients who transannular patch was laid down. Causes of deaths were low cardiac output.

The stress field in a body caused by the tangential loading of a rectangular patch on a semi-infinite solid has been solved analytically using a potential function. The validity of the results of this study was preyed by Saint-Venant's principle in the remote region and by the superposition of point loads in the vicinity of the surface.

The stress field in the body by tangential loading of a rectangular patch on a semi-infinite solid has been solved analytically using Boussinesque's potential function. Its validity was proved by saint-venant's principle in remote region of the and in the vicinity of the surface with superposition of point loads.

Clonidine, an antihypertensive drug, stimulates postsynaptic $\alpha_2$adrenergic receptors in the CNS and lowers arterial pressure by erects on both cardiac output and peripheral resistance. However, many patients experience that sedation and xerostomia occured upon oral administration of clonidine. These side effects are due to high plasma peak concentration and can be avoided when clonidine is given transdermally. In this study, we performed the skin irritation test for transdermal administration of clonidine patch on New Zealand white rabbits. Twelve New Zealand white rabbits were divided into two groups according to the dose levels, respectively. After transdermal administration of clonidine patch with two doses, clinical manifestations, body weight loss and postmortem findings were observed. We could not find any significant evidence of skin irritation by transdermal administration of clonidine patch.

Wearable medical device has been a resurgence of interest thanks to the development of technology and propagation of smart phone in recent years. Various types of wearable devices have been introduced and available in market. Capacitive coupled electrode which measures electrocardiogram over cloth is able to be applied wearable device. In previous approaches of capacitive electrode, they need proper pressure for stable contact of the electrode to body surface. However, wearable device that gives pressure on body surface is not suitable for long-term monitoring. In this study, we proposed adhesive polyurethane-based capacitive electrode for patch-type wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring device. Self-adhesive polyurethane make the electrode and whole system be adhered to the surface of skin without any pressure. The patch-type system is consisted of analog filter, analog-to-digital converter and wireless transmission module and designed to be attached on the body as a patch. To validate the feasibility of the developed system, we measured ECG signal in stable and active state and extracted heart rate. Therefore, we observed skin response after long-term attachment for biocompatibility of the adhesive polyurethane and adhesive strength of it. The result shows the possibility of applying the developed system for ECG monitoring in real-life.

This work provided a review of three techniques-(1) spectrochemical, (2) electrochemical, and (3) spectroelectrochemical-for molten salt medias. A spectroelectrochemical system was designed by utilizing this information. Here, we designed a spectroelectrochemical cell (SEC) and calibrated temperature controllers, and performed initial tests to explore the system's capability limit. There were several issues and a redesign of the cell was accomplished. The modification of the design allowed us to assemble, align the system with the light sources, and successfully transferred the setup inside a controlled environment. A preliminary run was executed to obtain transmission and absorption background of NaCl-CaCl₂ salt at 600℃. It shows that the quartz cuvette has high transmittance effects across all wavelengths and there were lower transmittance effects at the lower wavelength in the molten salt media. Despite a successful initial run, the quartz vessel was mated to the inner cavity of the SEC body. Moreover, there was shearing in the patch cord which resulted in damage to the fiber optic cable, deterioration of the SEC, corrosion in the connection of the cell body, and fiber optic damage. The next generation of the SEC should attach a high temperature fiber optic patch cords without introducing internal mechanical stress to the patch cord body. In addition, MACOR should be used as the cell body materials to prevent corrosion of the surface and avoid the mating issue and a use of an adapter from a manufacturer that combines the free beam to a fiber optic cable should be incorporated in the future design.

본 논문에서는 유전체 표면을 소형의 패치로 분해한 다음에 각 패치의 유도전류를 구하는 모먼트법(MoM)과 전체 유전체 표면의 입사전파와 반사 및 침투 전파의 합을 구하는 적분방정식을 융합하여 유전물질로 구성된 육면체의 유도전류 분석하였다. 평면파 전자파가 입사될 때 임의모형의 유전체에 유도되는 유도전류는 일반적으로 수치해석방법을 적용하여 계산하는 것이 정확하며 사용한 적분방정식은 5 명의 과학자가 공동으로 제안한 PMCHW 방정식을 사용하였다. MoM에 사용된 패치는 삼각형 패치를 사용하고 기초함수는 광대역 주파수에 사용할 수 있는 Loop-Patch 기초함수를 사용하였다. 제안된 계산방식은 넒은 주파수 범위에서 임의 모형의 유전체에 대해서 적용할 수 있으며 유전체 육면체의 유도전류를 분석하여 제시하였다.

Typically, the vital signs that are representing the state of human body, are the body temperature, sphygmus, respiration and blood pressure. The body temperature is the result of metabolic regulation and human steady-state body temperature is maintained from 35.9 to $37.4^{\circ}C$ by heat regulatory center. The body temperature is indicative of infection and especially it should be monitored to requiring intensive care patients or after surgical patients. But, measuring of body temperature to a heavy workload on nursing staff has been recognized. And, the health service of nurse is limited by simple tasks such as the measurement and record of vital sign. In this paper, the body temperature monitoring telemetry system was proposed to prove the recoding and transmission of body temperature patch system according the standard(ISO TS11073-92001). We proposed the transmission protocol to suit the MFER(medical waveform format encoding rules). The telemetry patch system was implemented and it was verified by experiments.

본 논문에서는 모노폴과 같은 방사특성을 갖고 인체 표면 간 통신을 위한 $TM_{31}$ 고차 모드 반원-링 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나는 단락 핀을 이용하여 $TM_{31}$ 고차 공진 모드를 형성하였고, 평면형임에도 불구하고 모노폴과 같은 방사특성을 갖는다. 패치안테나의 좁은 대역폭을 확장하기 위해 $TM_{31}$ 모드 C-형 반링 패치를 반원 패치에 인접시켰으며, 소형화를 위해 half mode를 사용하였다. 인체 착용환경을 고려하여 마이크로스트립 라인을 이용하여 급전하였다. 제안된 안테나는 ISM(Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) 2.45 GHz 대역(2.4~2.485 GHz)에서 $0.25{\lambda}_0{\times}0.46{\lambda}_0{\times}0.025{\lambda}_0$의 크기를 갖고, 2.38~2.49 GHz에서 4.24 %의 10-dB 반사손실 대역폭을 갖는다. 인체의 영향을 고려하기 위해 2/3 근육-등가 반고체형 모의인체를 제작하고, 이를 이용하여 안테나에 미치는 인체의 영향을 분석, 검증하였다. 또한, 실제 인체 상황에서 제안된 안테나를 통해 인체 표면 간 링크의 통신 성능 분석을 위한 실험을 수행하였다.
