The purpose of this study was performed to evaluate the effect of Armeniacae Semen extracts on human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells in vitro. A experiment was done to evaluate the effect of Armeniacae Semen extracts in high glucose media. $400mg/d{\ell}$ glucose was added to the culture media of all groups. In control group, the cells($4.5{\times}10^4cells/ml$) were cultured with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium contained with 10% fetal bovine serum. In experimental groups, Armeniacae Semen extracts was added to the above culture media at the final concentrations of $1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$(Test group 1) and $l0{\mu}g/m{\ell}$(Test group 2). Then each group was tested for the rate of cell proliferation at 1, 2, 5 days, protein levels at 2, 5 days, and alkaline phosphatase activity at 2, 5 days. The results were as follows ; 1. Under the high glucose condition 1)As centration of Armeniacae Semen extracts increased, the rate of cell proliferation decreased significantly in test group 2 at 5 days in human gingival fibroblasts, but increased significantly in test group 2 at 5 days in human periodontal ligament cells(P<0.05). 2)In human gingival fibroblasts, test group 2 showed significantly decreased protein levels as compared to control group at 5 days. In periodontal ligament cells, test group 1 and 2 showed not significantly increased protein levels as compared to control group at 2, 5 days(P<0.05). 3)Alkaline phosphatase activity of human periodontal ligament cells increased as concentration of Armeniacae Semen extracts increased. The test group 1and 2 showed significant increase as compared to control group at 5 days(P<0.05). From the above results, Armeniacae Semen extracts appeared to enhance cellular activities including the rate of cell proliferation, protein levels and alkaline phosphatase activity of selectively human periodontal ligament cells in high glucose media. This study suggests that Armeniacae Semen extracts seem to be able to subside the inflammation of periodontal tissue and regenerate the destructed periodontal tissue.

Human periodontal ligament fibroblast(hPDLF) is very important to cure periodontal tissue because it can be diverged into various cells. This study examined the expression of MMP-1, TIMP-1, periodontal ligament specific PDLs22, Type I collagen, Fibronectin, TIMP-2, telomerase mRNA in a replicative senescence of hPDLF. The periodontal ligament tissue was obtained from periodontally healthy and non-carious human teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons at the Chosun University Hospital of Dentistry with the donors' informed consent. The hPDLF cells were cultured in a medium containing Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium(DMEM, Gibco BRL, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum(FBS, Gibco BRL, USA) at 37C in humidified air with 5% $CO_2$. For the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) analysis, the total RNA of the 2, 4, 8, 16, 18, and 21 passage cells was extracted using a Trizol Reagent(Invitrogen, USA) in replicative hPDL cells. Two passage cells, i.e. young cells, served as the control, and ${\beta}-actin$ served as the internal control for RT-PCR The results of this study about cell morphology and gene expression according to aging of hPDLF using RT-PCR method are as follows: 1. The size of hPDLF was increased with aging and it was showed that the hPDLF was dying in the final passage. 2. PDLs22 mRNA was expressed in young hPDLF of the two, four, and six passage. 3. TIMP-1 mRNA was expressed in young hPDLF of the two and four passage. 4. There was a tendency that MMP-1 mRNA was weakly expressed over eighteen. 5. Type 1 collagen mRNA was expressed in almost all passages, but it was not expressed in the final passage. 6. Fibronectin mRNA was observed in all passages and it was weakly expressed in the final passage. 7. TIMP-2 and telomerase mRNA were not expressed in this study. Based on above results, it was observed that PDLs22, Type 1 collagen, Fibronectin, MMP-1. and TIMP-1 mRNA in hPDLF were expressed differently with aging. The study using the hPDLF that is collected from healthy patients and periodontitis patients needs in further study.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases. And vitamin C has shown a protective effect for the tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of $H_2O_2$ and ascorbic acid on matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP: TIMP-1, TIMP-2), Type 1 collagen, fibronectin, and PDLs22 level in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLF) via reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). hPDLF was obtained from a healthy periodontium and cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagles's medium plus 10% fetal bone serum. The concentration of ascorbic acid in hPDLF was $50{\mu}g/ml$, and that of $H_2O_2$ in hPDLF was 0.03% and 0.00003%. Ascorbic acid only, $H_2O_2$ only and mixture of ascorbic acid and $H_2O_2$ were applied with hPDLF for 1-, 3-, and 30-min. respectively. The gene expression of MMP-1-, TIMP-1-, TIMP-2-, Type 1 collagen-, fibronectin-, and PDLs22-mRNA in hPDLF was analysed via RT-PCR. The results were as follows; 1. hPDLF in response to 30-min. incubation with 0.03% $H_2O_2$ did not show any gene expression. 2. In all the experimental groups, the gene expression of fibronectin mRNA showed the decreased tendency compared to control. 3. In all the experimental groups, the gene expression of TIMP-1 mRNA showed the tendency similar to control. 4. hPDLF in response to 30-min. incubation with 0.03% $H_2O_2$ and ascorbic acid increased mRNA induction for MMP-1. 5. In all the experimental groups, hPDLF increased mRNA induction for PDLs22, collagen type 1, and TIMP-2 compared to control. Within the limited experiments, $H_2O_2$ and ascorbic acid increased mRNA induction for PDLs22, collagen type 1, TIMP-2 in hPDLF. More research will be needed in order to confirm the relative importance of the different roles of ROS and antioxidants in hPDLF from a periodontal regeneration or repair standpoint.

매복치의 치료방법으로 교정적 견인, 발치 후 임플란트, 자가치아이식 등 다양한 치료 방법이 있다. 그 중에서도 자가치아이식은 성장하는 환자들에게서 이식치 고유의 치주인대세포의 보존 및 치조골 성장이 가능하다는 점에서 좋은 치료방법이라고 생각된다. 이 증례에서는 성장중인 청소년의 이소 매복 치아를 자가치아이식으로 치료한 두 개의 증례를 소개하고자 한다. 첫 번째 증례에서 이소 매복된 좌측 하악 제2소구치를 발거 후 정위치로 자가치아이식하였고 혈소판 농축 피브린(PRF)과 mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)를 사용하여 재생 근관 치료를 하였다. 석회화 치성낭으로 인해 이소매복된 좌측 하악 제2대구치를 지닌 두 번째 증례에서 병소의 적출술을 시행하였다. Obturator를 3개월 간 장착하여 매복치아의 자발적 맹출을 기대하였으나 맹출 양상이 없어 자가치아이식한 후 MTA를 이용한 근관치료를 하였다. 두 증례 모두 자가치아이식술로 이소매복치를 간단하고 빠르게 치료하였다. 성장하는 환자에게서 이소매복치의 자가치아 이식술은 임플란트나 보철물 수복 대신 좋은 치료 방법이 될 것이다.
