This study presented the available effects of Source Derivation (SD) method for detecting the focal EEG, from the model experiments which were compared the traditional monopolar derivation with SD method, and also from the clinical recording for the patients, Signal dipole and EEG noise dipole embeded in a spherical volume conducted covered with three layer shells corresponding to neural tissue, skull and scalp, were used for the model. The following conclusions were obtained. 1) It was proved by the model experiment that SD method was useful for the detection of focal signal dipole potential on cortical surface. 2) SD method was useful to detect the signal not only in the cortical surface but also in the deep cortical area, when the reference electrode angle of SD method was smaller to the active electrode (α=10°-20°), that is, the distance of electrodes on scalp surface was about 1.6-3.2cm. 3) SD method was applied to the patients with focal spikes. The localization of the focal spike was more clear than the traditional ear reference monopolar recording. S/N to back ground EEG also was improved very well. 4) Identification of the location generated of primary responses in somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) by electrical stimulation of median nerve was tried by using the SD method with intererectrode distance of 2cm, and consequently the central sulcus and cortical primary sensory area were identified from the phase-reversal of SEP on the scalp.

The progress in the field of organ transplantation and artificial organ has been remarkable in the recent years. The number of clinical cases is increasing daily, and the clinical renal transplantation will soon be performed in more than 2000 occasions. One human life has been supported by artificial kidneys for over eight years. Many hearts and livers have been transplanted, and artificial auxiliary left ventricles have been functioning in human bodies. The ancient dream of replacement of organs has almost been realized.In reviewing the history of development of organ substitutes, the current status in reference to various organs has been described as precisely as possible, along with the expected development and problems in the future.

Osteocytes, dendritic resident cells in bone, transduce signals of mechanical loading that results in anabolic responses of bone. In our previous report with primary osteocytes derived from newborn rat calvaria, we showed that cAMP levels were elevated 15min after the initiation of streching, and that the protein levels of both IGF-I and osteocalcin were elevated 36h later. Here we report that stretching induces the expression of an immediate early gene, cfos, at 15min and of osteocalcin in several hours in these cells. Furthermore, the blockers of stretch activated channels and epithelial-like sodium channels, in combination, abolish the effects of stretching; elevated expression of osteocalcin and calcium influx into the stretched cells. Independent experiment with a blocker of L type channels also inhibited the osteocalcin expression caused by stretching. Therefore, it is conceivable that the calcium influxes, both primary and secondary, are the essential responses of stretched osteocytes that result in the anabolic reaction of bone.

Validity of Fourier coefficients as parameters for the electrocardiographic pattern recognition by means of the threshold logic units and the maximum likelihood method was verified. As the traditional methods of Fourier transform required much time, a new method of fast Fourier transform of folding type, which differed from FFT of Cooley and Tukey, was developed. Sampling points used in the present investigations totaled 100. Using scalar ECG of Frank's orthogonal system (X, Y and Z leads) 15 normal subjects, myocardial infarction cases and ostium secundum type of atrial septal defect cases respectively were analyzed by this new method, and the coefficients such as An, Bn, √An2+Bn2 and Arctan (An/Bn) were obtained.√An2+Bn2 was considered as the most useful parameter among them, because it is invariant for the parallel shift of amplitude and time axis.Normals, myocardial infarction and atrial septal defect cases were classified, in 100 per cent success, by threshold logic units and maximum likelihood method in the twelve dimensional information space, respectively using the initial four Fourier coefficients of the X, Y and Z leads as parameters.Fourier coefficient parameters were estimated by t-tests, and then the effort was made to reduce the numbers of parameters of information space.Complete separation was also obtained even when the number of dimension were reduced to seven by using the initial seven Fourier coefficients of X lead alone. This suggested that the important diagnostic information was mostly contained in X lead, and also that the lower harmonic components had the greater part of the information of ECG. Nonlinear discriminant function played an important role in the low dimensional information space.

For successful operation of brain tumors, it is essential to minimize hemorrhage during neurosurgical operation, and to destroy any adjacent tumor cells. A newly developed technique for coagulating brain tumors as an operative procedure by using microwave was investigated. It penetrates a distance and destroys the tumor tissue with its thermal effect.For successful tissue coagulation, it is required to concentrate microwave energy to a narrow region. For this purpose, a kind of antenna was contrived and the thermal distribution in the vicinity of the antenna was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. It revealed that the near-by field of the antenna could make an adequate thermal distribution for local tissue coagulation. An experimental equipment was made for 2.45 GHz using magnetron as the microwave source.The desirable local coagulation on a dog's brain tissue was achieved with this experimental equipment. This method of local coagulation by microwave will facilitate more effective operation on tumors without unnecessary bleeding and scattering of tumor cells and will destroy as much tumor tissues as possible This method of tissue coagulation is considered applicable to treating not only brain tumors but also many other tumors and diseases.

An attempt to know the principle of control in the living systems by investigators in broad fields of nonbiological disciplines may give rise to the following expectation. The present-day technological civilization has urged every unit component and every unit process of our society to organize into certain purpose-pursuing systems, which have never existed before. Such huge artificial systems have brought about a tremendous development on one hand, but an unexpected transitional chaos on the other, which covers a world-wide range of disturbances to the harmony in our biosphere. Meanwhile, a biological organism exists as a totality, exhibiting a beautiful harmony not only with other external components but also with its own internal components. Consequently, the control principle governing the biological systems may give some valuable suggestions for the construction and well maintenance of artificial systems, through reorganizing our view of value. On the basis of such presupposition, discussions extend to how we can categorize living organisms into systems from phylogenetical, ontogenetical, distributional, morphological, biochemical, physiological, behavioral standpoints and so forth, referring to the integrative role played by the neuroendocrine control system. Then some characteristics of biological systems such as the a posteriori nature which is related to adaptability, individuality and feedback mechanism, the reproductivity and reutility associated with chain-relations and cyclicity, the variety and individual differences, and the incompleteness and nonlinearity related to dynamic stability, are described in comparison with artificial systems. The methodology applied to the analysis and synthesis of biological performances are also briefly reviewed. Finally, the difference between the status of our-recognition and the initial expectation is clarified together with some optimistic encouragement based on an analogy with evolutional history of the living organisms.
