Bisphosphonate(BP) significantly influence the hone remodeling process. Increasing number of patients with osteoporosis and metastatic bone disease need high dose or long term bisphosphonate therapy. Major adverse effect is jaw bone necrosis and now the bisphosphonate-related necrosis of the jaw(BRONJ) is the major concern of dental practitioner. This study intended to perform the review of the current understandings concerning the pathophysiology of BRONJ. Even though pathophysiological mechanism of BRONJ is not clearly elucidated but now suggested as largely two different concepts; so-called "inside-out" or "outside-in" theory. Inside-out theory emphasize the osteonecrosis of the jaw is the initial major event and subsequent infection and inflammation is the second event that accompanies bone exposure and death of overlying mucosa. However, in "outside-in" theory, infection or inflammation initiated by traumatized oral epithelium is the major event of BRONJ. Both theory would be partially explain BRONJ. Recent research reveals the immune modulating effect and influence of microcrack accumulation by BP. These findings and those of others might explain the missing part of outside-in theory.

Purpose: This study was performed to introduce an in vivo hybrid multimodality technique involving the coregistration of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) to concomitantly visualize and quantify mineralization and vascularization at follow-up in a rat model. Materials and Methods: Three adult female rats were randomly assigned as test subjects, with 1 rat serving as a control subject. For 20 weeks, the test rats received a weekly intravenous injection of 30 ㎍/kg zoledronic acid, and the control rat was administered a similar dose of normal saline. Bilateral extraction of the lower first and second molars was performed after 10 weeks. All rats were scanned once every 4 weeks with both micro-CT and HR-MRI. Micro-CT and HR-MRI images were registered and fused in the same 3-dimensional region to quantify blood flow velocity and trabecular bone thickness at T0 (baseline), T4 (4 weeks), T8 (8 weeks), T12 (12 weeks), T16 (16 weeks), and T20 (20 weeks). Histological assessment was the gold standard with which the findings were compared. Results: The histomorphometric images at T20 aligned with the HR-MRI findings, with both test and control rats demonstrating reduced trabecular bone vasculature and blood vessel density. The micro-CT findings were also consistent with the histomorphometric changes, which revealed that the test rats had thicker trabecular bone and smaller marrow spaces than the control rat. Conclusion: The combination of micro-CT and HR-MRI may be considered a powerful non-invasive novel technique for the longitudinal quantification of localized mineralization and vascularization.

Background: The structure and function of bone tissue is maintained through a constant remodeling process, which is maintained by the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The failure of bone remodeling can lead to pathological conditions of bone structure and function. Remifentanil is currently used as a narcotic analgesic agent in general anesthesia and sedation. However, the effect of remifentanil on osteoclasts has not been studied. Therefore, we investigated the effect of remifentanil on pre-osteoclast (pre-OCs) differentiation and the mechanism of osteoclast differentiation in the absence of specific stimulus. Methods: Pre-OCs were obtained by culturing bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) in osteoclastogenic medium for 2 days and then treated with various concentration of remifentanil. The mRNA expression of NFATc1 and c-fos was examined by using real-time PCR. We also examined the effect of remifentanil on the osteoclast-specific genes TRAP, cathepsin K, calcitonin receptor, and DC-STAMP. Finally, we examined the influence of remifentanil on the migration of pre-OCs by using the Boyden chamber assay. Results: Remifentanil increased pre-OC differentiation and osteoclast size, but did not affect the mRNA expression of NFATc1 and c-fos or significantly affect the expression of TRAP, cathepsin K, calcitonin receptor, and DC-STAMP. However, remifentanil increased the migration of pre-OCs. Conclusions: This study suggested that remifentanil promotes the differentiation of pre-OCs and induces maturation, such as increasing osteoclast size. In addition, the increase in osteoclast size was mediated by the enhancement of pre-OC migration and cell fusion.

Tissue regeneration is the ultimate treatment for many degenerative diseases, however, repair and regeneration of damaged organs or tissues remains a challenge. Previously, we showed that B1 Ab and H3 Ab induce stem cells to differentiate into microglia and brown adipocyte-like cells, while trafficking to the brain and heart, respectively. Here, we present data showing that another selected agonist antibody, P1 antibody, induces the migration of cells to the pancreatic islets and differentiates human stem cells into beta-like cells. Interestingly, our results suggest the purified P1 Ab induces beta-like cells from fresh, human CD34⁺ hematopoietic stem cells and mouse bone marrow. In addition, stem cells with P1 Ab bound to expressed periostin (POSTN), an extracellular matrix protein that regulates tissue remodeling, selectively migrate to mouse pancreatic islets. Thus, these results confirm that our in vivo selection system can be used to identify antibodies from our library which are capable of inducing stem cell differentiation and cell migration to select tissues for the purpose of regenerating and remodeling damaged organ systems.

Dental implant may be immediately placed in postextraction socket which has alveolar bone defect. The purpose of this study was to compare the bone regeneration and bone quality around defects adjacent to implants that were placed into extraction sockets according to EFEB, GTAM barrier and GTAM barrier with DFDB. Mandibular P2, P3 and P4 were extracted bilaterally in dogs, and buccal defects were created about 4mm in depth and 3.3mm in width. Screwed pure titanium implants, 3.8mm in diameter and 10mm in length, were placed into the extraction sockets. The experimental groups were divided into four groups : the G group was covered with a GTAM barrier on the defective area, the D+G group was filled with DFEB and covered with a GTAM barrier, the D group was filled with DFDB only and the control group was sutured without any special treatment on the defective area. The experimental animals were killed after 12 weeks and specimens were prepared for light microscopic evaluation and fluorescent dyes were administered daily for 2 weeks after implantation, and injected on the 4th and 11th week for fluorescent microscopic examination to observe new bone formation and bone remodeling. The new Bone height of the buccal defect was measured and compared with the another for bone gain and the removal torque for the implant was measured for the comparison of bone density and bone-implant osseointegration. Results obtained were as follows : 1. Experimental groups showed bone regeneration in oder from D+G, G, D group and control. D+G and G group was significantly from D group and control(P<0.01). 2. In the defective area of control the regenerated alveolar bone showed poorly developed lamellated structure and fibrous tissue intervention into the bone-implant interface but the others showed well developed lamellated structure and osseointegration. 3. All implant groups showed no significaant difference in the removal torque for implant(P>0.05) These results suggest that immediate implants placed in defective sockets were successfully osseointegrated and utilizing placed in defective sockets were successfully osseointegrated and utilizing not only the combination of GTAM and DFDB but also only the GTAM was favorable for the predictable regeneration of the defective area.

Bones are important parts in sustaining the shape of the body, but they are also metabolic organs which undergo bone remodeling by constant bone resorption and formation. Osteoporosis, the typical metabolic bone disease, is characterized by a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD). Women more than men are at risk fir osteoporosis-related fractures, especially in the lumbar spine, wrist, and hip region. Risk of fracture depends on one's BMD, which open determined by the peak bone mass value achieved at skeletal maturity and followed by subsequent age-and menopause-related bone loss. Genetic and environmental factors are known to play a key role in bone metabolism and diet is considered as one of the important environmental factors. The purpose of the present study was to assess the status of BMD and bone mineral content(BMC) to clarify the relationships between dietary intakes and the risk of osteoporosis in adult women in Taegu. Subjects were 130 healthy females in between 20 and 69 years of age. BMD and BMC of the lumbar spine(venebrae L2-4) of the subjects were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The average age of the subjects was 47.4${\pm}$11.7 years old, the average weight was 57.2${\pm}$8.4kg, the average age of menarche was 16.6${\pm}$1.9 years old and the average age of menopause was 48.4${\pm}$5.3 years old. The nutrient intakes of the subjects measured by the convenient method were generally lower than the level of RDA. The result of nutrient intake assessed has shown that the average energy intake was 1701${\pm}$316kca1 which is 85.1% of the RDA and the average calcium intake was 485.4${\pm}$172.3mg which is 69.3% of the RDA. The intakes of protein, vitamin A, vitamin B$_1$, niacin were greater than the RDA, whereas the remaining nutrient intakes were lower than the RDA. The average BMD of the subjects was shown to be 1.06${\pm}$1.09g/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The highest BMD of 1.24${\pm}$0.14g/$\textrm{cm}^2$ was noticed in the subjects of 30s compared to 20s, 40s, 50s, 60s. The BMD values were compared by the relative body weight(R3W) of the menopause subjects, and it was found that the underweight group had significant lower BMB while the rest of the groups did not have any differences in BMD. The most strongly correlated nutrient with BMD among the menopause subjects appeared to be calcium. The women whose Ca intakes were higher than 500mg showed the significantly higher BMD than those with Ca intakes lower than 500mg. This study suggests that the most effective way to prevent osteoporosis and to reduce the incidences of fractures seems to be minimizing bone loss through the adequate intake of calcium as well as avoiding underweight, especially in menopausal women.

Objective: To investigate the involvement of ephrinB2 in periodontal tissue remodeling in compression areas during orthodontic tooth movement and the effects of compressive force on EphB4 and ephrinB2 expression in osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Methods: A rat model of experimental tooth movement was established to examine the histological changes and the localization of ephrinB2 in compressed periodontal tissues during experimental tooth movement. RAW264.7 cells and ST2 cells, used as precursor cells of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, respectively, were subjected to compressive force in vitro. The gene expression of EphB4 and ephrinB2, as well as bone-associated factors including Runx2, Sp7, NFATc1, and calcitonin receptor, were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: Histological examination of the compression areas of alveolar bone from experimental rats showed that osteoclastogenic activities were promoted while osteogenic activities were inhibited. Immunohistochemistry revealed that ephrinB2 was strongly expressed in osteoclasts in these areas. Quantitative real-time PCR showed that mRNA levels of NFATc1, calcitonin receptor, and ephrinB2 were increased significantly in compressed RAW264.7 cells, and the expression of ephrinB2, EphB4, Sp7, and Runx2 was decreased significantly in compressed ST2 cells. Conclusions: Our results indicate that compressive force can regulate EphB4 and ephrinB2 expression in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which might contribute to alveolar bone resorption in compression areas during orthodontic tooth movement.

Titanium and its alloys that have a good biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties such as hardness and wear resistance are widely used in dental and orthopedic implant applications. However, they do not form a chemical bond with bone tissue. Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) that combines the high voltage spark and electro-chemical oxidation is a novel method to form ceramic coatings on light metals such as tita-nium and its alloys. This is an excellent re-producibility and economical, because the size and shape control of the nano-structure is relatively easy. Silicon (Si), manganese (Mn), and magne-sium (Mg) have a useful to bone. Particularly, Si has been found to be essential for normal bone, cartilage growth, and development. Mn influences regulation of bone remodeling be-cause its low content in body is connected with the rise of the concentration of calcium, phosphates and phosphatase out of cells. Pre-studies have shown that Mg plays very im-portant roles in essential for normal growth and metabolism of skeletal tissue in verte-brates and can be detected as minor constitu-ents in teeth and bone. In this study, Electrochemical behavior of plasma electrolytic oxidized films formed in solution containing Mn, Mg and Si ions were researched using various experimental in-struments. A series of Si-Mn-Mg coatings are produced on Ti dental implant using PEO, with the substitution degree, respectively, at 5 and 10%. The potentiodynamic polarization and AC impedance tests for corrosion behav-iors were carried out in 0.9% NaCl solution at similar body temperature using a potentiostat with a scan rate of 1.67mV/s and potential range from -1500mV to + 2000mV. Also, AC impedance was performed at frequencies anging from 10MHz to 100kHz for corrosion resistance.
