项目摘要

This study is concerned with the validation of recently developed three kinds of typical blood pressure measurement methods such as oscillometric auto blood pressure meter, wristwatch type blood pressure meter utilizing pulse wave traveling time and photoelectric pulse wave monitor to observe blood pressure over 24 hours. We mainly focused on the relation between pulse wave traveling time and the accuracy of actual blood pressure of human body. Therefore, we took account of the effect of boundary condition simulating real situation of human blood pressure measurement.First, we designed and machined an equipment to simulate precisely the behavior of the pressure pulsation and the vibration characteristics of blood vessel of an upper arm of a human body during blood pressure measurement which consists of flexible tube, piston-crank mechanism for driving pulse wave and head tank to maintain average blood pressure. Secondly, we measured various types of pulse waveform by changing resistance of a flexible tube and constrictions. Simultaneously, we developed computer code to simulate the behavior of the blood vessel precisely based on the physical model of the collapsible tube taking account of the effect of rigidity of the tube and boundary conditions. Validity of our program was checked by experimental data using silicon tube. Then, we applied this program to human blood vessels and we first succeeded in obtaining reasonable results which can explain the trend of measured results with human arteries.Furthermore, we succeeded in formulating the method of calculation concerned with fluid structure interaction between thin flexible structure and the flowing fluid where non-linearity of the fluid force is important, which gives us the physical interpretation of the role of nonlinearity in this problem.

本研究对最近开发的示波式自动血压计、利用脉搏波传播时间的手表式血压计和光电脉搏波监测仪24小时观察血压等三种典型血压测量方法进行验证。我们主要关注脉搏波传播时间与人体实际血压准确性之间的关系。因此，我们考虑了模拟人体血压测量真实情况的边界条件的影响。首先，我们设计并加工了一种设备来精确模拟人体上臂血管的压力脉动和振动特性。血压测量时的人体由柔性管、驱动脉搏波的活塞曲柄机构和维持平均血压的头罐组成。其次，我们通过改变软管和缩颈的电阻来测量各种类型的脉冲波形。同时，我们基于可伸缩管的物理模型，考虑了管的刚性和边界条件的影响，开发了计算机代码来精确模拟血管的行为。我们的程序的有效性通过使用硅管的实验数据进行了验证。然后，我们将该程序应用于人体血管，我们首先成功地获得了合理的结果，可以解释人体动脉测量结果的趋势。此外，我们成功地制定了薄柔性结构与流体结构相互作用的计算方法。流体力的非线性很重要的流动流体，这为我们提供了非线性在此问题中的作用的物理解释。
