Tissue engineered bone (TEB) can replace an autogenous bone graft requiring an secondary operation site as well as avoid complications like inflammation or infection from xenogenic or synthetic bone graft. Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) for TEB are considered to have various ranges of differentiation capacity or multipotency by the donor site and age. This study examined the effect of age on proliferation capacity, differentiation capacity and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) responsiveness of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSC) according to the age. In addition, to evaluate the effect on enhancement for osteoblast differentiation, the hBMSC were treated with Trichostatin A (TSA) and 5-Azacitidine (5-AZC) which was HDAC inhibitors and methyltransferase inhibitors respectively affecting chromatin remodeling temporarily and reversibly. The young and old group of hBMSC obtained from the iliac crest from total 9 healthy patients, showed similar proliferation capacity. Cell surface markers such as CD34, CD45, CD90 and CD105 showed uniform expression regardless of age. However, the young group showed more prominent transdifferentiation capacity with adipogenic differentiation. The osteoblast differentiation capacity or BMP responsiveness was low and similar between young and old group. TSA and 5-AZC showed potential for enhancing the BMP effect on osteoblast differentiation by increasing the expression level of osteogenic master gene, such as DLX5, ALP. More study will be needed to determine the positive effect of the reversible function of HDAC inhibitors or methyltransferase inhibitors on enhancing the low osteoblast differentiation capacity of hBMSC.

This study attempted to develop and suggest a more appropriate method for the determination of event mean concentration (EMC) and pollutant removal efficiency of a stormwater best management practice (BMP) considering rainfall. The stormwater runoff and hydrologic data gathered from 22 storm events during a 28-month monitoring period on a swirl and filtration type of BMP were used to evaluate the developed methods. Based on the findings, the modified EMC method resulted in lower (average) values than the overall EMC, although the differences were not significant (P>0.05). By comparison, the developed 'Rainfall Occurrence Ratio' (ROR) method was most significantly correlated (r=0.967 to 988, P<0.009) with the other existing removal efficiency determination methods such as the 'Efficiency Ratio' (ER), 'Summation of Loads' (SOL) and 'Regression of Loads' (ROL) methods. In addition, the ROR method gave the highest efficiency values, with no significant differences with any of the pollutant parameters, unlike the other three methods. These results were obtained because the ROR method integrated both pollutant loading and rainfall, which are not considered by the other three methods. Therefore, this study proved the suitability of the modified EMC and ROR methods for application in other BMP monitoring studies.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the regenerative capacity of reconstruction in the atrophied posterior maxilla by comparing bone graft procedures and alveolar distraction osteogenesis (ADO) techniques. We performed the autogenous iliac bone graft (AGB group, 5 specimens in 3 patients), and the combination (Mixed group, 3 specimens in 3 patients) of the autogenous and deproteinized bovine bone ($Bio-Oss^{(R)}$, Geistlich Co., Switzerland) as the ratio of 2:1 in the sinus floor elevation procedures. ADO procedures using $TRACK^{(R)}$ (KLS Martin Co., Germany) were also performed to augment vertical alveolar height in atrophied posterior maxilla (ADO group, 5 specimens in 4 patients). Newly generated bone tissues were obtained with the 2.0mm diameter trephine bur (3i Co., USA) during implant fixture installation after 5-7 months. Routine histolomorphological observation, immunodot blot assay for quantitative evaluation, and immunohistochemical staining with antibodies to MMP-1, -9, -10, TIMP-1, -2, and BMP-2, -4 were all carried out. Lamellar bone formation was well shown in all specimens and new bone formations of ADO group increased than those of other procedures. In immunohistochemical staining, the strong expression of BMP-2 was shown in all specimens, and immunodot blot assay showed that bone formation is accompanied by the good induction of factors associated with angiogenesis and appeared more increased amount of osteogenic and angiogenic factors in ADO group. ADO is the most effective technique for new bone formation compared to sinus floor elevation with autogenous or mixed bone graft in the atrophied posterior maxilla. In the quantitative immunodot blot assay, the regenerated bone after ADO showed more increased products of VEGF, BMP-2, PCNA and MMP-1 than those after the other procedures, and these findings were able to be confirmed by immunohistochemical stainings.

The present study assessed the effect of FSH and LH on oocyte meiotic, cytoplasmic maturation and on the expression level and polyadenylation status of several maternal genes. Cumulus-oocyte complexes were cultured in the presence of FSH, LH, or the combination of FSH and LH. Significant cumulus expansion and nuclear maturation was observed upon exposure to FSH alone and to the combination of FSH and LH. The combination of FSH and LH during entire IVM increased the mRNA level of four maternal genes, C-mos, Cyclin B1, Gdf9 and Bmp15, at 28 h. Supplemented with FSH or LH significantly enhanced the polyadenylation of Gdf9 and Bmp15; and altered the expression level of Gdf9 and Bmp15. Following parthenogenesis, the exposure of oocytes to combination of FSH and LH during IVM significantly increased cleavage rate, blastocyst formation rate and total cell number, and decreased apoptosis. In addition, FSH and LH down-regulated the autophagy gene Atg6 and upregulated the apoptosis gene Bcl-xL at the mRNA level in blastocysts. These data suggest that the FSH and LH enhance meiotic and cytoplasmic maturation, possibly through the regulation of maternal gene expression and polyadenylation. Overall, we show here that FSH and LH inhibit apoptosis and autophagy and improve parthenogenetic embryo competence and development.

An age-unknown, 4.8 kg, male, wild, domestic short-hair cat was presented for left hindlimb lameness. A physical examination revealed a draining tract which was suspected of bite on left calcaneal bone. The left tarsal joint was markedly swollen and exudates were observed around the draining tract. Sequestrum at left calcaneus bone, and osteolysis were identified by radiography. The sequestrum and its surrounding exudative tissue were debrided during surgery and the tissue was submitted for bacterial culture and sensitivity test. The debridement caused a bone defect ($1.5cm{\times}0.5cm{\times}0.5cm$) on the medial left calcaneal bone. Plate and screw fixation was performed to the calcaneus bone as buttress plate. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) loaded hydroxyapatite was implanted in the bone defect. Furthermore, Amikacin-impregnated collagen sponges were also placed around bone plate to deliver local antibiotics. A systemic antibiotic treatment regimen based on bacterial culture and sensitivity test results was administered for 4 weeks. The wound properly healed without any signs of infection, and the bone healing was confirmed by radiography. The patient showed normal weight bearing ambulation at 18 weeks after surgery. The use of rhBMP-2 and local antibiotic delivery system is a good surgical option for the one-stage treatment of chronic osteomyelitis.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in gene expression after incubation of cells with soluble fraction from different silk mat layers. A silk cocoon from Bombyx mori was separated into 4 layers of equal thickness. The layers were numbered from 1 to 4 (from the inner to outer layer). Each silk mat was placed into normal saline and collected soluble fraction. They were administered to RAW264.7 cells, and changes in the expression of genes were evaluated by cDNA microarray analysis. Layer 1 and 4 groups showed significantly higher expression of BMP-2 at 8 h after administration of soluble fraction (P < 0.05). Runx2 expression was significantly higher in Layer 4 group at 8h (P < 0.05). The silk mat from the innermost and outermost portion of the silkworm cocoon showed a significant change in the expression of genes that are associated with osteoinduction such as BMP-2 and runx2.

Nowadays, the commonly used table lookup scheme for IP routing is based on the sc-called classless interdomain routing (CIDR). With CIDR, routers must find out the best matching prefix (BMP) for IP packets forwarding, this complicates the IP lookup. Currently, this process is mainly performed in software and several schemes hale been proposed for hardware implementation. Since the IP lookup performance is a major design issue for the new generation routers, in this article we investigate the properties of the routing table and present a new approach for IP lookups, our approach is not based Gn BMP and significantly reduces the complexity, thus the computation cast of existing schemes can be significantly reduced. We also propose an efficient IP lookup algorithm, with which we improve the binary search on prefixes to 30 millions of packets per second (MPPS) and 5,000 route updates/s under the same experiment setup with an even larger routing table.

일찌기 20세기 초반부터 지구의 마지막 남은 자원의 보고로서 또한 미래의 생화공간으로서 해양에 대한 관심이 고조되어 왔다. 해양의 에너지/광물 자원의 개발을 위한 노력은 이미 1950년대 부터 시작되어 상당한 가시적인 성과를 얻고 있다. 최근에는 특히 환경보존에 대한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 육상기피시설물(공항, 폐기물 처리시설, 원자력 발전설비 등)들의 부지확보 문제를 해결하기 위하여 해양공간을 활용하는 방안이 선진각국에서 연구되고 있으며, 그중 가장 타당성이 높은 방안의 하난로서 각종 생산활동을 위한 플랜트를 대형 부유구조물 위에 설치하는 해상플랜트(Barge Mounted Plant, BMP)가 제안되고 있다. 원자력 발전설비를 비롯한 대형 프랜트를 부유구조물 위에 설치할 경우, 지진의 영향을 극소화 할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 해상의 파도, 조류, 바람, 일사에 의한 갑판의 열변형 등 불규칙적인 환경하중에 노출되므로 이러한 환경조건하에서 구조물이 설계 수명 동안 안전하게 기능을 다할 수 있는지를 세심하게 검토할 필요가 있다. 따라서 BMP의 안전성 평가방법에 대한 신뢰도를 높이고 평가결과에 대한 합리성을 제고하는 한편, 이를 바타응로 현재까지는 설계/건조 경험이 전무한 초대형 부유구조물의 구조설계와 관련된 기초기술 및 응용기술을 확보하는 문제는 가장 시급히 해결되어야 할 부분이다.

The time simulation of motion responses of dolphin-moored BMP in waves is presented. The equation of motion based on Cummin's theory of impulse responses are employed, and solved in time domain by using the Newmark $\beta$ method. The hydrodynamic coefficient and first order wave exciting forces involved in the equations are obtained from a three-dimensional panel method in the frequency domain. The second order wave drift forces and mooring for dolphin system are taken into account. As for numerical example, time domain analysis are carried out for a BMP in irregular wave condition.
