Background and Objectives : Temporary or permanent vocal paralysis can be occurred after head and neck surgery such as thyroid cancer, esophageal resection, and chest operation including lung parenchymal resection, due to a vagus or recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. The authors aimed to determine the clinical efficacy of using Calcium-Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) for permanent unilateral vocal cord palsy patients. Materials and Method : Between July 2008 to July 2010, among patients with chief complain of hoarseness and aspiration, only who were diagnosed as unilateral vocal cord palsy under laryngoscopy, were selected. The patients included 3 females and 13 males age range between 29 to 79 and average age was 60 years old. Results : The hoarseness range were $8.94{\pm}0.77$, $4.63{\pm}1.02$, $4.31{\pm}1.30$ statistically showing significant postoperative improve at preoperative, 1 week and 3 months. Also aspiration were $7.44{\pm}2.48$, $3.63{\pm}1.82$, $3.19{\pm}1.91$ statistically improved during the same period. The result of voice analysis showed that the frequency range shows decrease at 1 week and 3 months after the injection compared to that of the preoperative result in both male and female group (Male: $161.63{\pm}32.78$ Hz, $139.13{\pm}30.63$ Hz, $146.67{\pm}34.20$ Hz ; Female: $244.62{\pm}26.62$ Hz, $244.91{\pm}42.03$ Hz, $237.50{\pm}38.95$ Hz). The Maximal phonation time were $2.75{\pm}1.06$ (sec), $8.88{\pm}3.46$ (sec), $8.44{\pm}3.71$ (sec) statistically showing significant postoperative improve at preoperative, 1 week and 3 months. Conclusion : Injection laryngoplasty with CaHA in unilateral vocal cord paralysis is very safe and efficient procedure to improve a voice disorder, a swallowing difficulty, and a quality of life for those patients with a sacrificed RLN, a cancer invasion of the nerve, and a prolonged vocal cord paralysis which is more than six to twelve months.

Porous hydroxyapatite has been widely used as clinical implanted material. However, it has poor mechanical properties. To increase the strength as well as the biocompatibility of the porous HAp based artificial bone, it was fabricated by multi-extrusion process. Hydroxyapatite and graphite powders were mixed separately with ethylene vinely acetate and steric acid by shear mixing process. Hydroxyapatite composites containing porous microstructure were fabricated by arranging it in the die and subject it to extrusion process. Burn-out and sintering processes were performed to remove the binder and graphite as well as increase the density. The external and internal diameter of cylindrical hollow core were approximately 10.4 mm and 4.2 mm, respectively. The size of pore channel designed to increase bone growth (osteconduction) was around 150 ${\mu}m$ in diameter. X-ray diffraction analysis and SEM observation were performed to identity the crystal structure and the detailed microstructure, respectively.

In the preparation of hydroxyapatite(HAp)/gelatin(GEL) nanocomposite, GEL matrix was modified by the introduction of chondroitin sulfate(ChS) to obtain a strongly organized composite body. The formation reaction of the HAp/GEL-ChS nanocomposite was then investigated via XRD, DT/TGA, FT-IR, TEM and SEM. The organic-inorganic interaction between HAp nanocrystallites and GEL molecules was confirmed from DT/TGA and FT-IR. According to the DT/TGA results, the exothermal temperature zone between 300 and $550^{\circ}C$ showed an additional peak temperature that indicated the decomposition of the combined organics of the GEL and ChS. From the FT-IR analysis, calcium phosphate(Ca-P) was covalently bound with the GEL macromolecules modified by ChS. From TEM and ED, the matrix of the GEL-ChS molecules was mineralized by HAp nanocrystallites and the dense dried nanocomposite body was confirmed from SEM micrographs.

Using calcium-phosphate-powder targets with the Ca/P ratios of 1.0-1.67, hydroxyapatite ($Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$, HAp) thin films with 4-7㎛ thickness were prepared on titanium metal plates by r.f. magnetron sputtering, followed an annealing at $200^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr under a high water vapor pressure using an autoclave. All the specimens were systematically characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM and EDS analyses. The post-annealed films were confirmed to be a nonstoichiometric oxyhydroxyapatite by XRD and FT-IR measurements.

the preliminary work on the prepartion of fine hydroxyapatite powder and the synthesis of dense hydroxyapatite ceramic from the powder were investigated for the development of artificial bone and tooth materials for implants. The effects of the process variables such as compositions of the raw materials the initial pH of the solutions and sintering temperature on the physical properties were investigated in order to determine the optimum conditions for the fabrication of tooth implant material. As the initial pH of the solutions was increased in the range of 10-11.6 the initial particle size of precipitates was decreased thus the sinterability of precipitates was improved. It was found that the composition of calcium rich of 1.75 in Ca/P mole ratio exhibited better sinterability and mechanical strength of the apatite ceramics for example the highest value of Vicker's hardness obtained from the compositions of 1.75 in Ca/P mole ratio was 764±30 Kg/mm2 compared to the maximum value of 600 kg/mm2 obtained from the compositions of 1.67 in Ca/P mole ratio.

본 연구에서는 하수슬러지를 매립지 복토재로 재활용하기 위해 래들슬래그, 시멘트, 인회석, 소석회를 첨가하여 하수 슬러지 내 중금속(Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn)의 용출을 평가하였다. 하수슬러지의 용출 평가는 EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) 추출법과 TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure)를 통해 이루어졌으며, 중금속 결합 기작은 연속추출(sequential extraction)을 통해 평가하였다. EDTA 용출 결과 하수슬러지에 래들슬래그/시멘트/소석회의 투입량이 증가할수록 하수슬러지 내 중금속의 용출이 감소하였다. 그러나 인회석을 투입했을 때는 중금속 용출의 감소 효과가 거의 나타나지 않았으며, 이는 EDTA가 인회석에 의한 중금속 고정화를 방해하였기 때문이다. TCLP 용출 결과 하수슬러지 내 슬래그, 시멘트 또는 소석회의 투입량이 증가하여 용출액의 pH가 7 이상일 때는 Cu의 용출 농도가 원하수슬러지의 용출농도보다 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 인회석은 투입량이 증가할수록 중금속의 용출 농도가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 혼합 고화제를 투입한 하수슬러지의 중금속 용출 결과, 하수슬러지의 중량비 100%를 기준으로 래들슬래그 20%와 소석회 10%를 투입한 혼합물이 최적의 고화 혼합 비율이며, 이 때 EDTA 추출법과 TCLP로 용출한 중금속의 농도가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 하수슬러지 내 중금속 결합이 약한 결합인 exchangeable fraction과 carbonate fraction에서 강한 결합인 organic fraction으로 이동하였음을 연속추출(SM&T, formaly BCR)을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 하수슬러지와 고화제를 최적의 비율로 혼합한 혼합물을 폐기물공정시험법으로 중금속 용출을 평가한 결과 Cu가 기준농도 이상으로 검출되었다. 그러나 TCLP에 따른 하수슬러지의 용출시험 결과 Ba, Cd, Cr, Pb의 항목에서 미국 환경보호청의 용출 기준을 만족하였다.

Salivary proteins which are produced in the saliary acinar cells have been known to be involved in the Calcium and phosphate metabolism. The acquired pellicle resulting from such metabolism is considered as a secondary defence membrane against tooth caries. In this respect, some proteins included in saliva probably play an important role in the prevention of demineralization in enamel. On the other hand, fluoride has long been known to prevent the demineralization of enamel by the inhibition of the growth of Streptococcus mutans(S. mutans) and by the chemical reaction with calcium and phosphate, Therefore, I have examined the roles of amylase and albumin in the demineralization of enamel and compared these preteins with fluoride in terms of anticariogenic effect. 1. The demineralization caused by S. mutans occurred slowly and progressively for the first 60 min, then the rate of demineralization was accelerated afterwards. 2. pH decreased continuously during the entire period of each experiment. 3. The demineralization was significantly inhibited by the preteatment of amylase and fluoride but albumin had little effect on it. 4. An addition of 0.1 mM lactic acid (final concentration 0.1 ${\mu}M$) caused a rapid increase in calcium concentration reaching a maximum within 10 min. 5. pH decreased rapidly by the addition of 0.1 mM lactic acid and reached a minimum within a few seconds followed by an increase in pH. pH reaced a plateu with 10 min. 6. Fluoride, amylase and albumin played little role in the 0.1 mM lactic acid-induced demineralization. 7. A slow infusion of 0.1 M lactic acid at a rate of 5 ${\mu}l/min$ caused a slower increase in calcium concentration compared with the bolus addition of lactic acid. 8. Fluoride had an inhibitory effect on the calcium release caused by slow infusion of lactic acid while amylase and albumin had no effect on it. These results suggest that fluoride inhibits demineralization by protecting the HA from the acid attack whereas amylase has a direct effect on S. mutans to prevent demineralization.

인산칼슘(hydroxyapatite(HAp), ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate(${\beta}$-TCP) 및 HAp와 ${\beta}$-TCP가 혼합된 2상 인산칼슘(BCP, HA/${\beta}$-TCP))들을 수열합성법을 통해 합성하였다. 여러 수열합성 조건(최고온도 $150^{\circ}C$ 및 pH 12 이하)에서 수산화칼슘($Ca(OH)_2$) 수용액과 인산($H_3PO_4$) 용액을 반응시켜 얻은 침전물을 수열합성에 이용하였다. 초기 전구체 Ca/P 비율을 1.30, 1.50 및 1.67로 조절하였으며 이 조성비와 합성 후 열처리가 분말 및 소결체의 상합성에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 초기 전구체 Ca/P 비율을 조절함으로써 분말 및 소결체의 상의 조절이 가능하였다. Ca/P 비율이 1.67일 경우 모든 열처리 온도에서 분말 및 소결체 모두에서 HAp 단일 상이 합성되었다. Ca/P 비율이 1.30과 1.50에서 $900^{\circ}C$ 이상 열처리 할 경우 각각 순수한 ${\beta}$-TCP와 BCP(HAp/${\beta}$-TCP)가 합성되었다. 반응성 높은 미세한 분말을 이용하여 소결함으로써 미세한 입경을 가지며 투광성을 가지는 소결체들을 저온에서 얻을 수 있었다.

카이토산은 무독성 천연착화제의 일종으로 방사성스트론튬의 마우스체내축적을 감소시킨다고 알려져 왔다. 스트론튬은 칼슘이온과 비슷한 화학적 특성을 가지고 있으며, hydroxyapatite에 쉽게 결합하여 제거하기가 어렵다. 본 실험에서는 카이토산과 칼슘이온을 처리하였을 경우 방사성스트론튬의 체외배출 효과를 비교해 보았다. 1% 카이토산 혹은 칼슘을 일반식이와 혼합하여 섭취시킨 후 방사성스트론튬을 관을 통해 구강으로 주입하였고, 방사성스트론튬 오염후 1% 카이토산 혹은 칼슘용액, 그리고 1% 카이토산과 칼슘을 혼합한 용액을 각각 구강주사하였다. 대조군은 카이토산 또는 칼슘을 처리하지 않았으며, 각각의 실험군은 10마리씩 7일간 관찰하였다. 모든 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 변과 오줌 등을 통한 스트론튬의 체외배출이 높게 나타났으며 (p<0.01), 골조직 등의 침착율도 낮게 나타났다 (p<0.01). 칼슘 투여군과 카이토산 투여군 간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 카이토산 단독투여 군과 칼슘과 카이토산 동시 투여군 사이에는 방사성스트론튬 배설율에 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로, 칼슘은 카이토산과 동일하게 입으로 오염된 방사성스트론튬 제거에 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다.
