Mandibular fractures in infants are rare. This case report describes management of a mandibular fracture in an 11-month-old infant using a microplate and screws with open reduction. The surgical treatment was successful. Because the bone fragments were displaced and only the primary incisors had erupted, conservative treatment, such as an acrylic splint and circummandibular wiring, was not recommended. Nine weeks after surgery, the microplate was removed. The results showed complete clinical and radiological bone healing with normal eruption of deciduous teeth.

According to the development of operation technique and biologic materials, oromaxillofacial surgery department have used many kinds of metal and biologic materials in ORIF and plastic surgery. In maxillofacial fracture, ORIF with metal plate and screw have short healing period and good prognosis. But ORIF with metal materials have many complications as maxillofacial abnormal growth, screw loosening, bone malunion. And metal materials have not used in infection site. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical value of 10 condylar fracture patients operated with absorbable screw at Wonkwang university. Ten patients(8 males, 2 female, mean aged 28) who had mandibular condyle process fracture treated with PLLA implants(poly-l-lactide) was recalled for follow-up clinical and radiologic examination for 10 years. Mouth opening recorvered to more than 35mm and occlusion was stable in all patients. All fractured mandibular condyles showed anatomic good reduction and long-term stability with the use of resorbable miniplates and screw. Bone healing was satisfactory in all patients, and there was no evidence of abnormal resorption of condylar process.

골절 후 골 유합에 대한 미세직류전류 자극의 효과를 관찰하기 위하여 체중 2.5~3 ㎏내외의 6개월 령 뉴질랜드 웅성토끼 24마리를 대상으로 경골 골절 후 미세전류 자극을 적용한 실험군과 비적용군인 대조군으로 나누어 3일, 7일, 14일 및 28일 후 BMP-4에 대한 면역조직화학적 염색을 실행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. BMP-4의 발현은 비침습식 미세전류를 적용한 실험군과 자연치유군인 대조군 모두 시간이 경과함에 따라 통계학적으로 유의하게 증가하다가 감소되었다. 그러나 실험군에서 경골 골절 3일 후 대조군은 하버씨계의 간질층판을 중심으로 약한 갈색의 면역양성반응(+)을 보였으나 실험군의 경우 중등도의 면역양성반응(++)을 보였다. 경골 골절 7일 후 대조군은 하버씨계의 동심원과 간질층판을 중심으로 중등도의 갈색의 면역양성반응(++)을 보였으나 실험군의 경우 바깥층판을 포함하여 매우 강한 갈색의 면역양성반응(++++)을 보였다. 경골 골절 14일 후 대조군은 하버씨계의 간질층판과 동심원을 중심으로 강한 갈색의 면역양성반응(+++)을 보였으며 실험군 또한 강한 면역양성반응(+++)을 보였다. 그 후 점차 감소하여 경골 골절 28일 후 대조군은 하버씨계의 간질층판을 중심으로 약한 갈색의 면역양성반응(+)을 보였으나 실험군의 경우 중등도의 면역양성반응(++)을 보였다. 위의 결과로 보면 골절 후 미세전류를 비침습적으로 적용할 때 치유과정 초기에 골형성단백질인 BMP-4의 발현을 증가시켜 골절 치유를 촉진시킴을 알 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of resorbable plate in the healing process of mandibular fracture. Reduction and rigid fixation was carried out on the artificial mandibular fracture site of the rabbits, using a resorbable screw, 1.5mm in diameter and 4.0mm in length, and an absorbable plate 1.5mm in thickness(Lactosorb$^{(R)}$). En block tissue specimens with plate were taken from the rabbits at 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks intervals and specimen were observed with light microscope under the hematoxylin-eosin staining, to observe the inflammatory reaction and tissue healing process. The following conclusions were drawn: 1. The subject displayed good healing with no signs of detachment of the fixation plate. 2. At 4 weeks, the plate was covered by the connective tissue. Then at 6 weeks, bone regeneration was discovered around the plate. 3. During the period of healing, no inflammatory reaction or foreign body reaction, as a result of using resorbable plate, were observed. 4. At 8 weeks, the initial phase of the absorption of the plate was observed. Then at 10 weeks, macrophage were observed around the plate, indicating the absorption phase was in process. From the above results, it can be determined that when the resorbable plate is applied to rabbit, full recuperation occurs naturally in the absence of inflammatory reaction and foreign body reaction. The selected study is clinically valuable in proving this procedure.

Many synthetic bone materials have been studied for their potential of regenerative effects in periodontal tissue. Safflower seeds have been traditionally used as a drug for the treatment of fracture and blood stasis in oriental medicines. The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the osseous responses in rat calvarial defects between bone substitutes such as calcium carbonate and bovine-derived hydroxyapatite and feeding of safflower seeds. The calvarial defects were made with 8 mm trephine bur in 24 Sprague-Dawley rats. Two graft materials were implanted in each experimental groups, whereas the control and safflower seed feeding groups were sutured without any other treatment. And then the rats of safflower seed feeding group were supplied with 3 g/day of safflower seeds. Each group was sacrificed at 4 weeks and 8 weeks. To study a histopathology related to bone healing and regeneration, Goldner's Masson Trichrome stain was done at each weeks. The tissue response was evaluated under light microscope. There were more osteoblastic activity, new bone formation, dense bony connective tissues in bovine-derived hydroxyapatite group compared to other groups at 8 weeks. The osseous defect area of safflower seed feeding group was filled with prominent fibrous tissues, where less inflammatory infiltration and new capillary proliferation. In the early phase of bone healing, safflower seed feeding reduces the inflammatory response and promotes the proliferation of connective tissue. These results suggest that natural bovine-derived HA and safflower seed feeding could enhance the regenerative potential in periodontal defects.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Jeopgolsan (JGS) extract on anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory activities in RAW 264.7 cells and on factors related with fracture healing in skull fractured rat. Methods Experimental animals were divided into four groups: normal group without any treatment (Normal), contral group were treated orally with distilled water (Control), Experimental group were treated orally with JGS at a concentration of 200 mg/kg/day (JGS 200) and Experimental group were treated orally with JGS at a concentration of 200 mg/kg/day (JGS 400). Rats in each group except the normal group were induced fractures in the skull. The 1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activity were measured to evaluate antioxidant activity. The production of nitric oxide (NO), $interleukin-1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$) in the RAW 264.7 cells were measured to evaluate anti-inflammatory activity. The production of osteocalcin calcitonin, carboxy-terminal telepeptides of type II collagen (CTX II), transforming growth $factor-{\beta}$ ($TGF-{\beta}$), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), Insulin and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in serum of rats were measured to evaluate the effects of fracture healing at 0, 2, 4, and 6th week. X-rays were taken every 3 week from 0 to 6th week to evaluate fracture healing effect. Results 1. No cytotoxicity was observed. 2. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity were increased in a concentration dependent manner, indicating anti-oxidant effect. 3. NO, $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, and $TNF-{\alpha}$ were not significantly changed, indicating no anti-inflammatory effect. 4. Osteocalcin, Calcitonin, $TGF-{\beta}$ and ALP were significantly increased in the experimental groups. 5. CTX II, insulin were significantly decreased in the expermental groups. 6. Radiologic examination showed that union of fracture was promoted. Conclusions From above results, JGS showed significant results in factors related with fracture healing and radiologic examination. Threfore, JGS is expected to be effective in the treatment of fracture.

목적: 3시간과 24시간 골신티그라피 영상에서 골전이와 급성 및 치유기 골절을 감별하는데 병변/비병변 방사능 섭취비의 24시간/3시간 비율(24 hour/3 hour radio-uptake ratio: 24/3 RUR)이 유용한지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 총 63명($26{\sim}81$세, 남자 32명, 여자 31명)외 90개 병변(골 전이 30예, 외상 2개월 이내의 급성 골절 30예, 외상 2개월 이상의 치유기 골절 30예)을 대상으로 하였으며 골신티그라피는 $^{99m}Tc$-MDP 740 MBq를 정맥 주사하고 시간과 24시간 후에 영상을 얻었다. 각각의 영상에서 병변과, 인접한 정상 부위의 방사능 섭취비를 측정하여 24시간/3시간 비율(24/3 RUR: [lesion/non-lesion RUR at 24 hour]/[lesion/nonlesion RUR at 3 hour])을 구하여 세 질환을 감별하는데 의의가 있는 지를 분석하였다. 결과: 24/3 RUR의 평균치는 골전이 $1.22{\pm}0.18$, 급성 골절 $1.25{\pm}0.14$, 치유기 골절 $0.99{\pm}0.15$였으며 골 전이와 급성 골절의 24/3 RUR은 유의한 차이가 없었고 골 전이와 치유기 골절, 그리고 급성 골절과 치유기 골절간에는 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.001). 24/3 RUR 기준점을 1.0 이상인 경우 골 전이로 진단할 때 민감도는 100% (30/30)였고, 골 전이를 급성 골절로부터 구분하는 소견으로서 특이도는 0% (0/30), 골 전이를 치유기 골절로부터 구분하는 소견으로서 특이도는 47% (14/30)였다. 또한 기준점을 1.2로 설정했을 때는 골전이로 진단하는 소견으로서 민감도 53% (16/30), 골 전이를 급성골절로부터 구분하는 소견으로서 특이도 37% (l1/30), 골 전이를 치유기 골절로부터 구분하는 소견으로서 특이도 100% (30/30)였다. 결론: 24/3 RUR은 골 전이와 치유기 골절을 감별하는데 유용했으나 골 전이와 급성 골절의 감별에는 도움이 되지 않았다. 24/3 RUR이 1.0 미만인 경우는 치유기 골절을, 1.2 이상인 경우는 골 전이나 급성 골절을 시사하는 소견으로 생각된다.

The modified ridge splitting/expansion technique combined with guided bone regeneration (GBR) for implant surgery is used to expand the narrow and atrophied edentulous alveolar ridge. Also, the simultaneous implant placement after ridge splitting/expansion technique can reduce the treatment and healing time. This case report includes three patients with a narrow edentulous alveolar ridge of the 2 to 4mm. All three patients underwent a fracture of thin buccal cortical bone plate, and these defects were corrected by the use of the guided bone regeneration (GBR). After 7 to 18 months, all surgical area was stable, and all implant showed a good healing state on the clinical and radiographic examination. In conclusion, though this surgical method is technique sensitive, the modified ridge splitting/expansion technique combined with GBR for implant surgery is recommended for a horizontal augmentation in the narrow edentulous alveolar ridge.

Objectives This study was performed to decide the bone union effect of Hwaweo-jeon on tibia fractured mice. Methods In this study, laboratory experiments were implemented by the stage of in vitro and in vivo. In in vitro, MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with various concentration of Hwaweo-jeon extract (HWJ). To investigate effect of HWJ for osteoblast, relative mRNA expression of 5 substances (alkaline phosphatase [ALP], runt-related transcription factor 2 [Runx2], osteocalcin [OCN], osterix [OSX] and collagen type II alpha 1 chain [Col2a1]) was used as a marker of osteogenesis. In order to determine HWJ's effect for fracture healing, relative gene expression level of ALP, Runx2, OCN, OSX and Col2a1 were used to find out the influence to osteoblast. Furthermore, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand and osteoprotegerin relative mRNA expression were used to estimate the impact to osteoclast. Also, X-ray was used for the purpose of identifying bone union in tibia-fracture mouse model. Results In in vitro experiment, most part of relative mRNA expression were increased compared to control group. In in vivo and in vitro experiment, HWJ induced osteoblast activitation by verifying relative mRNA expression of 5 substances. And in vivo experiment, we can also identify that HWJ triggered osteoclast activation during early stage of tibia fracture. Furthermore, X-ray pictures show noticeable recovery of tibia fracture. Conclusions HWJ extract promotes bone union by facilitating the osteoblast. But, HWJ may occur liver & kidney toxicity over specific concentration. Therefore, when HWJ is applied to human body, doctors have to follow up the liver function test & renal function test of patient.
