Abstract

Sex Hormones exert significant influence in body physiology throughout life. Some reports suggested increased sex hormone levels correlate with an increased prevalence of gingivitis. The objectives of this pilot study are to(1) address the link between menstrual cycle and MMP-9, MMP-8, IL-$1{\beta}$ of gingival crevicular fluid during 4 weeks and (2) discuss the major biomarker of periodontal status. 7 female and 3 male volunteer who didn't have smoking habit, medical and dental disease after informed consent, were seen twice a week for 4 weeks. GCF samples were collected and GCF levels of MMP-9, MMP-8, IL-$1{\beta}$ were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The GCF levels of MMP-9, MMP-8, IL-$1{\beta}$ had fluctuation according to menstrual cycle, but the changes of those were not significant by Friedman matched samples test. There is no difference between female and male subjects by Mann-Whitney U test. The correlation of MMP-8, MMP-9 and IL-$1{\beta}$ showed strong by Spearman correlation(0.644-0.945). This study confirms menstrual cycle doesn't influence the periodontium of healthy female subjects.

본 연구는 월경주기에 따른 치주조직의 변화에 관한 예비연구로, 건강한 치주조직을 가지고 있고 월경주기가 일정한 20대 여성 7명과 남성 3명을 대상으로 4주간 8회 추구조사를 하였다. 시진상 치주조직의 상태는 건강하므로 치은열구액 내 바이오마커의 변화를 기준 변수로 하여, 상악전치부 치은열구액 내 MMP-9과 MMP-8, IL-$1{\beta}$의 농도를 측정하여 비모수 검정방법으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 1. 여성대상자에서 월경시기, 배란추정시기에 각 염증지표들이 상승하는 추세를 보였으나 변화정도는 유의하지 않았다. 2. 성별에 따른 각 염증지표들의 차이는 유의하지 않았으며, MMP-9, MMP-8의 농도는 차이가 없었으나 IL-$1{\beta}$의 농도가 남성에서 유의하게 높았다(p=0.03). 3. 검사시점별 각 염증지표들의 상관관계는 강하거나 상당한 강한 양적 선형관계를 나타내었고 배란추정 시기와 월경시기에 상관계수가 더 높게 나타났다. 4. MMP-8과 IL-$1{\beta}$의 관계는 모든 검사시점에서 유의하였으나 MMP-9의 경우, MMP-8과 IL-$1{\beta}$의 상관관계가 유의하지 않은 시점도 있었다. 따라서, 여성대상자도 월경주기에 따른 변화정도가 남성대상자와 유의한 차이가 없으므로 치주병 위험요인에 따른 치주조직 변화의 추구조사에 참여할 수 있는 근거가 마련되었다. 또한 검사지표 중에 MMP-8이 모든 시점에서 다른 지표와 유의하고 강한 상관관계를 나타내어 대표 바이오마커로 적합할 것으로 사료되었다.
