생체 폐를 대신해서 임시적으로 제공하는 폐 보조 장치(LAD)의 사용은 기계 환기술의 단순화와 체외순환 막형 인공폐의 기능을 결합하여 급성호흡부전 환자에 적합하다. 본 연구에서의 주 관심은 폐 보조 장치에서의 막 진동 효율에 있었으며 정량적인 실험 측정은 혈액 용혈에 대한 막 진동 의존을 확인하기 위하여 실행하였다. 또, 혈액 용혈은 막 진동이 이루어질 때 한계 용혈의 가진 주파수 대에서 결정하였다. 최대 기체 전달율을 보이는 675의 중공사 막으로 이루어져 있는 유형 5의 가진 주파수에서 최대 진폭의 발생 및 중공사에 진동의 전달에 의해 최대 산소 전달율이 일어났다. 이 주파수가 혈류량에 가동 가능했던 제 2 형태의 공진 주파수가 되어 높은 각 혈류량 비에서 25±5 헤르쯔까지 가진이 되었으며, 혈액 용혈은 25±5 헤르쯔의 가진 주파수에서 상대적으로 낮았다. 따라서 우리는 이 폐 보조 장치의 한계 용혈 주파수가 25±5 헤르쯔인 것으로 결정했다.

This study, conducted from April to May 2004 in the metropolitan and surrounding areas of Seoul, Korea, was performed to show the relationship between indoor and outdoor levels of PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations in 14 residential houses. In addition, indoor/outdoor ratios of PM10, PM2.5 concentrations were calculated. The relationship between the PM10, PM2.5 concentrations and respiratory symptoms by self recording questionnaire of 14 houses was investigated. In conclusion, although the results of this study failed to establish the relationship between PM10, PM2.5 concentrations and respiratory symptoms among residents, the levels of indoor PM2.5 were significantly higher than those of outdoor levels. The indoor PM10, PM2.5 concentrations were increased by the amount of time spent of residents. Further research should be directed to establish the relationship between PM10, PM2.5 concentration and respiratory symptoms.

The PC game rooms in Korea have a problem in the aspect of indoor air quality because there are many occupants for 24 hours where the smoking is allowed. This study was carried out to evaluate indoor air quality (IAQ) including the size distribution of respirable suspended particulates (RSP) and airborne nicotine concentration in selected PC game rooms. The subjects are 6 PC game rooms in Seoul and Sung-Nam Cities. In this study, airborne RSP and nicotine concentrations were measured during a period from February to March, 2003. Significant correlation has been found between the concentrations of RSP and nicotine in PC game room. Also the negative correlation was found between room area and number of operating fan. The correlation coefficients between RSP size distribution and nicotine concentration were 0.868, 0.866, 0.870 in the stages 2 (cut-point 14.80㎛), 5 (cut-point 3.50㎛), and 8 (cut-point 0.52㎛) from Marple's 8-stage cascade impactor, respectively. In conclusion, RSP concentration in PC game room has a tendency to increase by smoking. Therefore, it is suggested that the effective air control system and education program be applied for PC game room.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of deep breathing exercise and ankle exercise on blood flow velocity in the femoral vein. Sixteen healthy male students were recruited from Yonsei University, at Wonju. The blood flow velocities in the femoral vein were measured under three different conditions: resting, deep breathing, and ankle exercise. All subjects were given a 5-minute relaxing time in supine position prior to the study. Using a doppler ultrasound with a 8 MHz probe, the peak blood flow velocities were collected in a twenty-second-period at each condition. The subjects took a rest in between trials for the blood flow to return to its resting levels. The result showed a significant difference in peak blood flow velocities under those three conditions (p<.001). The peak blood flow velocity was highest in ankle exercise condition. The peak blood velocity was significantly higher in deep breathing condition compared with the resting condition. As a result, it is revealed that not only the muscular contractions but also the deep breathing exercises induced facilitating effects of venous return. Either of the exercise methods can be recommended to prevent blood stasis in patients with risk of deep vein thrombosis after cardiac or lower extremity surgery.ㅂ

근위축성 측색 경화증 (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: ALS) 환자에게 있어 호흡기능장애는 죽음에 이르게 하는 주요 원인 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 근위축성 측색 경화증이 있으며 호흡기능이 약화되어 있는 51세의 여성 환자를 대상으로 호흡운동 치료를 시행한 후 폐기능(pulmonary function)이 증진되었는지를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 연구 대상자는 6주간의 호흡운동 치료 프로그램에 참여하였다. 호흡운동 치료 프로그램은 횡경

본연구는 시설내 다양한 환경조건하에서 오이의 호흡속도에 관한 수리적 모형을 개발하고자 실시하였다. 개개 오이 식물에 대한 총광합성속도의 8.55%가 호흡에 사용되었다. 생장호흡계수는 0.0935로 추정되었고 유지호흡속도는 24℃ 온도에서 0.00158g CH2O.g-1.h-1로 추정되었다. 그리고 그것은 온도상승에 따라 지수적으로 증가하였다. 호흡속도는 저장 탄수화물량이 낮아짐에 따라 비례적으로 감소했고 뿌리의 이온흡수호흡속도는 0.6648g CH2O.(gN)-1로 추정되었다.

본 연구는 느타리버섯 해충인 Coboldia fuscipes (Diptera: Scatopsidae)의 번데기 앞측에 있는 사슴뿔 모양 돌기의 생리적 기능을 구명하고자 수행하였다. C.fuscipes 유충 및 번데기에는 형태적으로 특이한 돌기가 관찰되는데,종령 유충의 몸 두번째 마디에 길이 0.04 mm의 미세돌기 l쌍과 번데기 앞부위에 길이 0.5 mm의 사슴뿔 모양 돌기 l쌍 및 복부에 길이 0.12mm인 6쌍의 강모형 돌기가 관찰되었다.종령 4령 유충의 미세돌기를 제거한 결과,사슴뿔 모양 돌기가 형성되지 않은 번데기가 출현하였으나, 이후 사슴뿔 모양 돌기 유무에 관계없이 정상적인 성충으로 우화하였다.또한, 슴뿔 모양 돌기 존재 여부에 따른 용화시 특성으로는 먹이로 제공된 감자한천 배지 속으로 용체의 함입률에 있어서 현격한 차이가 관찰되었는데,사슴뿔 모양 돌기가 형성되지 않은 번데기는 용체를 바깥으로 노출시키는 경향이 강하였다.그러나,사슴뿔 모양 돌기가 형성되지 않은 번데기의 용화율이나 우화율 등의 생태적 차이는 관찰할 수 없었다. 현미경 관찰 결과, 번데기의 사슴뿔 모양 돌기와 강모형 돌기는 관상의 측면 주세로기관지로 연결되어 기관계를 구성하고 있었다. 이상의 결과플로부터, C.uscipes 먼떼기의 사슴뿔 모양 돌기는 번데기 시기에 중요한 호흡뿔로 작용함을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the differences in pulmonary functioning after respiratory exercise with IPPB (Intermittent Positive Pressure Breather) in patients with progressive muscular dystrophy (PMD). The subjects were 46 patients with PMD who were admitted to the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of Youngdong Severance Hospital. The subjects were assigned into one of 2 groups. The control group received comprehensive treatments such as ROM exercise, deep breathing exercise, moist hot packs, and ultrasound twice a day while admitted at the Rehabilitation Medicine Department. Unlike the control group, the subjects at the experimental group received respiratory exercise treatment with IPPB. The subjects were admitted for 10~19 days, and the average length of hospital stay was 12.2 days. Pulmonary functioning was evaluated at admission and discharge by SENSOR MEDICS. The data were analyzed by a paired t-test and a independent t-test. The results were as follows: 1) The change of each parameter of pulmonary function tests were significantly improved in all groups after respiratory exercise treatment during admission (p<0.05). 2) By comparing the change of each parameter of pulmonary function tests between the experimental group and control group, the parameters of vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity, forced vital capacity predicted (FVCP) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) were significantly improved in the experimental group which had received the pulmonary exercise treatment with IPPB (p<0.05). In conclusion, this study suggests that the pulmonary exercise treatments with IPPB facilitated improvement in the pulmonary functioning for the PMD patients during their hospital stay.

The nature of entrainment between the locomotor and the respiratory rhythm was investigated while normal human subjects were walked or running on a treadmill. The purpose of this study was to analyze the incidence and type of coordination between the locomotor and the respiratory rhythm during running at different work load. The experiments were carried out on 12 untrained volunteers exercising at 3 work loads (2 METs, 3 METs, 4 METs in randomized order). The gait cycle was measured by electromyography (EMG) signal of gastrocnemius firing and the respiratory cycle was measured by a thermometer. We found that the ratio between the locomotor and the respiratory rhythm existed and 2:1 ratio between the locomotor-respiratory coupling was dominant at 2 METs and 3 METs
