| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed the infant lung acinar biomechanics that is the numerical and theoretical study about clarifying changes in morphological characteristics of infant lung acinus and their relationships to mechanics. Specifically, we conducted the studies on (1) Elucidation of changes in mechanical response due to lung acinar structure features, (2) Development of lung acinus model expressing inhomogeneity based on homogeneous structure, (3) Construction of alveolar formation stage model and the effects on mechanical fields, (4) Identification method of lung tissue model combined tensile testing and numerical analysis, (5) Molecular dynamics analysis of the interfacial expansion of lung surfactant, and (6) Delivery analysis of non-spherical particles to lung acinar region. We clarified the related mechanical phenomenon and laid the foundation for infant lung acinar biomechanics along with developing each method.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究で開発した小児肺細葉，肺胞成長モデルは，より侵襲性の低い方法での取得が望まれる小児肺細葉構造から実際の構造を推定しうるものであり学術的意義がある．また，表面張力を考慮した力学解析や小児肺組織の力学特性同定手法は，小児肺の病態を知るうえでの強力なツールとなり学術的意義が深い．さらに，肺サーファクタントの分子動力学解析や吸入薬の送達解析と組み合わせることで新生児肺疾患治療における医薬品．医工学技術開発への応用が期待できることから，小児肺医療分野への波及効果としての社会的意義がある．
