본 실험은 방사선을 이용하여 유착방지용 Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt (CMC)/Porcine Cartilage Acellular Matrix (PCAM) 수화젤 필름에 대해 연구하였다. 방사선 조사시 CMC/PCAM의 농도 및 혼합비율에 따른 필름의 형태학적 구조, 젤화율, 젤강도, 팽윤도 등을 분석하였다. 방사선에 의해 가교된 CMC/PCAM 필름은 CMC 필름보다 물리적인 특성인 젤화율이 낮게 측정되었다. 또한, 가교된 CMC 필름보다는 CMC/PCAM 필름에서 인간 혈관내피세포의 부착 및 증식율이 감소하였다. 우리는 PCAM에 함유한 세포의 항부착 성분이 도입된 CMC/PCAM 필름과 CMC 필름은 세포의 접착 및 증식율을 낮추는 것을 확인하였다. 결론적으로, 본 연구에서는 방사선 가교된 CMC/PCAM 수화젤 필름은 유착방지 향상을 위한 유착방지제로서 응용이 기대된다.

A time-dependent large deformation fracture theory is developed for application to soft biological tissues. The theory uses the quasilinear viscoelastic theory of Fung, and particularizes it to constitutive assumptions on polyvinyl-chloride (PVC) (Part I) and cartilage (Part II). This constitutive theory is used in a general viscoelastic theory by Christensen and Naghdi and an energy balance to develop an expression for the fracture toughness of the materials. Experimental methods are developed for measuring the required constitutive parameters and fracture data for the materials. Elastic stress and reduced relaxation functions were determined using tensile and shear tests at high loading rates with rise times of 25-30 msec, and test times of 150 sec. The developed method was validated, using an engineering material, PVC to separate the error in the testing method from the inherent variation of the biological tissues. It was found that the the proposed constitutive modeling can predict the nonlinear stress-strain and the time-dependent behavior of the material. As an approximation method, a pseudo-elastic theory using the J-integral concept, assuming that the material is a time-independent large deformation elastic material, was also developed and compared with the time-dependent fracture theory. For PVC. the predicted fracture toughness is $1.2{\pm}0.41$ and $1.5{\pm}0.23\;kN/m$ for the time-dependent theory and the pseudo-elastic theory, respectively. The methods should be of value in quantifying fracture properties of soft biological tissues. In Part II, an application of the developed method to a biological soft tissue was made by using bovine humeral articular cartilage.

The term temporomandibular disorders is used to describe a group of conditions that involve the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles, and associated structures. Many modalities have been proposed for treating temporomandibular disorders, including medication, physical therapy, occlusal stabilization splints with or without manual repositioning, surgery, and arthrocentesis. Temporomandibular disorders are treated in a step-wise manner. Initially, conservative treatment is used. Depending on the response, more aggressive interventions may be necessary. This usually takes the form of arthrocentesis. Arthrocentesis is used in the treatment of not only acute, closed, and locked TMJs but also various other temporomandibular disorders. Recently, the intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate after arthrocentesis was shown to have long-term palliative effects on TMJ symptoms. Synovial fluid consists of plasma and glycosaminoglycan, including hyaluronic acid derived from synovial cells. Sodium hyaluronate, the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide and a major component of synovial fluid. This highly viscous substance has analgesic properties, lubricant effects, and anti-inflammatory actions; it causes cartilage formation and plays a role in the nutrition of avascular parts of the disc and condylar cartilage. We conclude that the intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate is effective for treating temporomandibular disorders.

For the treatment of osteoarthritis, pulsed electromagnetic field stimulus has been suggested as a useful therapeutic method in rehabilitative medicine. Most studies have been performed under low-frequency and low-energy to find out biological properties for stimulating chondrocyte with pulsed magnetic field. In this study, the effect of strong pulse magnetic field on the human chondrosarcoma cells (SW-1353) has been investigated by means of cell counting, morphologies, and gene expression of cartilage extracellular matrix genes. The SW-1353 cells were exposed under the field intensities of 270, 100, 55, 36, and 26 mTesla during 6 hours a day in 5 consecutive days. The pulse magnetic field with an LRC oscillating signal has the pulse width of 0.126 msec and stimulation period of 1 sec. For the 270 and 100 mTesla stimulation, the cell proliferation significantly increased in 21-24% as compared with the non-stimulated cells. Gene expression of cartilage extracellular matrix genes (ACAN, COMP and COL2A1) was assayed by quantitative real time-PCR method. The ACAN gene expression showed a significant brightness, which means the increase on gene expression, compared with the non-stimulated cells. Our results suggest that the strong pulse magnetic field stimulation can be utilized to accelerate cell proliferation and gene expression on human chondrosarcoma cells.

참치 뼈로부터 추출한 hydroxyapatite[$Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$]를 습식법으로 분쇄한 후 여러 온도로 고상반응시킨 세라믹 소결체의 특성을 고찰하였다. Hydroxyapatite소결체의 밀도는 $1350^{\circ}C$에서 약 $2.93g/cm^3$으로서 이론치의 $3.21g/cm^3$과 유사하였다. $1300^{\circ}C$ 이하의 소결온도에서는 hydroxyapatite가 결정상으로 나타났으며, 온도가 증가할수록 hydroxyapatite의 분해에 따른 whitlockite[$Ca_3(PO_4)_2$]의 결정상이 관찰되었다. 소결채의 미세구조는 발달된 입계들 사이에 폐기공들이 분포하였다. $1350^{\circ}C$의 소결시편 평균강도는 58MPa로 나타나 관절연골(articular cartilage)의 최대강도인 40MPa보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 내측반월판 절제와 전십자인대 단열로 유발된 랫드 골관절염 모델을 이용하여 계피 (Cinnamomum cassia Blume, 육계(肉桂)) 추출물의 연골손상 방지에 대한 효과를 평가하였다. 골관절염유발 랫드 48마리를 군당 8마리씩 6군으로 음성 대조군과 골관절염 대조군, 체중당 diclofenac 2 mg 투여군, 계피 추출물 25 mg과 50 mg, 100 mg 투여군으로 각각 분류하여 수술 1주 후부터 12주동안 투여하였다. 연골 소실과 관절의 불안정성은 계피 추출물과 diclofenac 투여군이 골관절염 대조군과 비교할 때 유의하게 감소하였다(p < 0.05). 병리조직학적 평가에서 연골의 퇴행은 계피 추출물 투여량에 따라 용량 의존적으로 개선됨이 확인되었다(p < 0.01). 계피 추출물 투여군에서 관절구조 퇴행성 변화의 감소와 Safranin-O 염색 정도의 용량 의존적인 증가를 보여 연골 퇴행이 억제됨을 확인하였다. Diclofenac이 골관절염 진행에 있어 활성화된 caspase-3와 절단된 poly(ADP-ribose) 중합효소에 유도된 세포자멸사 표지율 증가에 별 다른 영향을 주지 않았지만 계피 추출물 투여군에서는 이들 세포자멸 표지자에 대한 반응세포는 유의하게 감소되었다(p < 0.05). 그러나, diclofenac과 계피 추출물 투여군은 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine의 섭취에는 영향을 주지 않았다. 이러한 결과에서 계피추출물이 항염활성과 항세포 자멸 활성을 통해 관절연골에 보호 효과가 있음을 보였다.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis associated with ageing. Vitamin D has diverse biological effect on bone and cartilage, and observational studies have suggested it potential benefit in OA progression and inflammation process. However, the effect of vitamin D on OA is still contradictory. Here, we investigated the therapeutic potential of vitamin D in OA. Six-week-old male Wistar rats were injected with monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) to induce OA. Pain severity, cartilage destruction, and inflammation were measured in MIA-induced OA rats. Autophagy activity and mitochondrial function were also measured. Vitamin-D (1,25(OH)₂D3) and celecoxib were used to treat MIA-induced OA rats and OA chondrocytes. Oral supplementation of vitamin D resulted in significant attenuations in OA pain, inflammation, and cartilage destruction. Interestingly, the expressions of MMP-13, IL-1β, and MCP-1 in synovial tissues were remarkably attenuated by vitamin D treatment, suggesting its potential to attenuate synovitis in OA. Vitamin D treatment in OA chondrocytes resulted in autophagy induction in human OA chondrocytes and increased expression of TFEB, but not LC3B, caspase-1 and -3, in inflamed synovium. Vitamin D and celecoxib showed a synergistic effect on antinociceptive and chondroprotective properties in vivo. Vitamin D showed the chondroprotective and antinociceptive property in OA rats. Autophagy induction by vitamin D treatment may be a promising treatment strategy in OA patients especially presenting vitamin D deficiency. Autophagy promoting strategy may attenuate OA progression through protecting cells from damage and inflammatory cell death.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of caponization on the bone characteristics, biomechanical property and histology in Taiwan country chickens fed to market age of 26 wks. Male Taiwan country chickens $D{\times}L_2$ were caponized or sham-operated at 8 wks of age, and selected healthy sham-operated and completely caponized chickens (prominent degenerated comb) were selected at 16 wks old and fed to 26 wks old for the trials. Fifteen intact male chickens (Intact), sham-operated chickens (Sham) and caponized chickens (Capon) were assigned for trial 1, and sixteen Intact and Capon were assigned for trial 2. Results in trial 1 showed that the abdominal fat and relative abdominal fat weights of Capon were significantly heavier than Intact and Sham (p<0.05), while the tibia weight and relative weight were the lightest (p<0.05). The tibia breaking strength, bending moment and stress of Capon were the poorest among groups (p<0.05). The trial 2 produced the similar observation that Capon were significantly lighter than Intact (p<0.05) in the tibia weight, relative tibia weight and their biomechanical properties. On histological determinations, Capon showed a thinner cartilage end and fewer chondrocytes (about 50%) and trabecular, and bigger marrow cavity; while decreased hemopoietic cells number with increased adipocytes than Intact observed by H&E stain and at low magnification. At high magnification, Capon showed a decrease in the chondrocyte size by 33 to 50%, with smaller nucleus located near the cell membrane, and exhibited monocellular form chondrocytes. Capon also showed a less strongly acidic sulfated mucosubstance with weaker dyeing property within cartilage zone, and smaller chondrocytes size by Alcian blue stain.
