The auricular cartilage grafts have been widely used in replacement of the temporomandibular joint disk. Cartilage grafts itself have a low metabolism and high survival rate after grafting. In processing the grafting materials, it was important to preserve the properties of chondrocyte proper. We used 15% glycerol and 10% DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) solutions for cartilage fixation before deep freezing. We have performed the allogenic auricular cartilage graft in the temporomandibular joint of 20 rabbits which 10 specimen was treated with 15% glycerol and the other 10 specimen was treated with 10% DMSO respectively and examined in 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after operation histopathologically. The result were : 1. Inflammatory cell infiltration around the grafted material appeared more glycerol groups than DMSO groups at 1 week, but each group has no differences after 2 weeks. 2. Degenerative changes of grafted auricular chondrocytes were more deveolped in glycerol group than DMSO groups till 4 weeks, but there were no differences between two groups after 6 weeks. 3. Fibrous union between grafted fragment and mandibular condyle was prominent in DMSO group. 4. Vascular proliferation of the grafted auricualr cartilage was more developed in DMSO groups than glycerol group in early stage. 5. Amount of the additional growth of grafted auricular cartilage was more existed in DMSO groups than glycerol group. 6. General survival rate after grafting was more prominent in DMSO group. In summary, allogenic auricular cartilage grafts treated with 15% glycerol and 10% DMSO solution have supported to survivalbility as a cryopreservative agents, especially DMSO groups have little inflammatory cell infiltration in early stages and degenerative changes and additional growth are more prominent than glycerol groups.

본 연구는 MEK, MIBK와 BTX 혼합물을 미생물 컨소시엄을 통하여 biofilter를 이용한 이 들 화합물에 대한 제거율을 파악해 봄으로써, 추후에 pilot plant scale을 설계하는 기본 변수로 활용하고자 한다. 미생물의 적응기간인 초기 2일까지의 제거효율은 변화의 폭이 다소 적었으나 3일 이후부터 급상승하여 4일 이후부터 높은 제거효율을 나타내었다. 또한, 혼합 VOCs의 유입 농도에 변화를 주어 이에 대한 biofilter의 운진시간에 따른 제거율의 변화에 있어서도 VOCs 유입에 대하여 초기에는 낮은 처리효율을 보여주었으나 1일이 경과한 후 높은 제거효율을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 처리할 VOCs 물질의 유입 농도 변화에 상관없이 높은 처리효율을 나타냈다 이는 biofilter 에 처음으로 적용한 섬유상 담체의 표면에 운전기간동안 미생물들이 지속적으로 부착되어 유입되는 VOCs 물질에 대한 적응기간을 단축시킬 수 있었던 것으로 사료된다.

The placement of different graft materials and/or the use of occlusive membranes to cover the extraction socket entrance are techniques aimed at reducing alveolar ridge resorption and enhancing bone formation. However, in spite of its clinical advantage, the use of graft materials in fresh extraction socket has been questioned because particles of the grafted material have been found in alveolar sockets with fibrous union. The purposes of this study were to evaluate whether alveolar ridge resorption following tooth extraction could be reduced and bone formation could be enhanced by the application of absorbable gelatin spongy or gelatin spongy soaked with platelet rich plasma(PRP) used as a space filler in clinical and radiographic aspects. Eighty patients who were scheduled for extraction of both third molars were participated and carried out by one experienced surgeon. Following extraction of teeth, one extracted socket were treated with gelatin spongy as an experimental group A and the other were treated with gelatin spongy and PRP as an experimental group B. The routine extracted socket were healed without any treatment as a control group. From the period of extraction to 12 weeks postoperatively, we examined the clinical course and radiographic evaluation on socket at regular interval. Both experimental groups showed faster wound healing process than control clinically. Vertical gingival height of the extraction socket were less changed statistically in both experimental groups than control. The horizontal width change of the extraction socket were not significant statistically in any group. Radiographic changes of the alveolar bone height were less changed in both experimental groups and bone density were showed higher than control. There were a little difference between experimental group A and B. In conclusion, absorbable gelatin sponge and with PRP were considered as having preservation effects of extraction socket and stimulation of bone formation process after extraction.

direct bone apposition during bone remodelling. To address these problem, we developed a new ceramic, calcium metaphosphate(CMP), and report herein the biologic response to CMP in subcutaneous tissue, muscle and bone. Porous CMP blocks were prepared by condensation of anhydrous $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2$ to form non-crystalline $Ca(PO_3)_2$. Macroporous scaffolds were made using a polyurethane sponge method. CMP block possesses a macroporous structure with approximate pore size range of 0.3-1mm. CMP blocks were implanted in 8mm sized calvarial defect, subcutaneous tissue and muscle of 6 Newzealand White rabbits and histologic observation were performed at 4 and 6 weeks later. CMP blocks in subcutaneous tissue and muscle were well adapted without any adverse tissue reaction and resorbed slowly and spontaneously. Histologic observation of calvarial defect at 4 and 6 weeks revealed that CMP matrix were mingled with and directly apposed to new bone without any intervention of fibrous connective tissue. CMP blocks didn't show any adverse tissue reaction and resorbed spontaneously also in calvarial defect. This result revealed that CMP had a high affinity for bone and was very biocompatible. From this preliminary result, it was suggested that CMP was a promising ceramic as a bone substitute and tissue engineering scaffold for bone formation.

The effect of cryopreservation on extracellular matrix was studied with the ultimate objective of permiting a prediction of the tendency of aorta conduit tissue to calcify following transplantation. Cryopreserved and fresh porcine aorta conduit tissues were extracted using guanidine-hydrochloride (Gdn-HCl) followed by sequential digestion of the tissues with collagenase, elastase, and papain. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) of the proteoglycans (PGs) were isolated and quantitated. Gdn-HCl extracted about 61% and 62% of the total GAG (proteoqlycan) material from cryopreserved and fresh tissues, respectively. Collagenasesolubilized proteoglycans from Gdn-HCl extracted tissue represented 20% and 13%, respectively, of the total GAGs present in cryopreserved and fresh tissues. Subsequent elastase hydrolysis of collagenase-digested tissue released about 11% of total GAGs from cryopreserved tissue and 16% from fresh tissue. The remaining 8%, from cryopreserved tissue, and 9%, from fresh tissue, of the total GAGs were obtained after using a papain hydrolysis. There was essentially no difference between fresh and cryopreserved tissues in the relative distribution of proteoglycans in the extracts and digestions except in the initial digestion step where more proteoglycans were obtained from collagenase solubilization of cryopreserved tissue than fresh tissue (p<0.05). The histologic status of the fresh and cryopreserved porcine aortic conduit did not differ markedly. The normal tissue architecture was not affected markedly by the cryopreservation procedure as neither alteration of elastic structure, fibrous proteins nor alteration of nuclear distribution or smooth muscle cell morphology was detected. Quantitative tissue mineral studies revealed that the mean calcium content of the cryopreserved aorta conduit tissue $(165{\pm}3\;{\mu}g/g\;wet\;tissue)$ was higher than that of the fresh tissue $(105{\pm}4\;{\mu}g/g\;wet\;tissue)$ $(p<0.05)$. The mean phosphorus content was $703{\pm}35\;{\mu}g$ wet tissue from cryopreserved tissue and $720{\pm}26\;{\mu}g$ wet tissue from fresh tissue. The study indicates that there is no significant alteration in the distribution of PGs in properly cryopreserved tissue, but the total calcium level appears to be increased in tissue cryopreserved by the cryopreservation process used in this study.

Objective : The results of secondary transsphenoidal surgery(TSS) for either residual or recurring pituitary adenomas have been reported to be unfavorable. To evaluate the effectiveness of secondary TSS, we analyzed the surgical results of residual or recurred pituitary adenomas in patients who underwent secondary TSS from 1992 to 1998. Material and Methods : Among the 95 patients who underwent TSS during this period, 14(15%) received repeated TSS. Two of the 14 patients underwent three TSS. Among the 11 patients with pituitary adenomas, three had nonfunctioning tumors ; six prolachnomas ; two GH-secreting adenomas. The remaining three patieats had craniopharyngioma, pituitary abscess and hemangioendothelioma respectively. The interval between the two surgical procedures ranged from one week to 33 months(mean ; 12 months). Causes of the secondary TSS were tumor recurrence in 11 patients, intentional staged operation in three, persistent disease despite medical therapy and CSF leak after initial operation in one respectively. Treatments prior to secondary TSS were medical treatment only in eight patients. Results : During the repeated operationtss some adhesion was noted in septal mucous membrane. The sphenoid cavity was filled with fibrous tissue which correlated with the methods of reconstruction of the sellar floor at the previous operation. There was no statistically significant difference in success rate of surgery between the initial and the second TSS(86% vs 81%). The complication rate was similar between the two procedures. There was no statistically significant factors affecting the results of second TSS. Conclusion : Transsphenoidal reoperation was regarded as a suitable approach for treating recurrent pituitary adenomas in spite of some degree of operative difficulties. In patients with transsphenoidally resectable tumor residuals or recurrences confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging, remissions can be obtained with high probability, especially in secondary surgery after an staged decompression.

동해탄광 지역의 산성광산배수에는 Ca, SO$_4$, Mg, Al의 함량이 높게 나타난다. 이 일대의 산성광산배수를 증발시켰을 때 생성된 증발잔류물에서는 주로 석고(CaSO$_4$${\cdot}$2$H_2O$)가 생성되었으며 그 외에 소량의 알루노겐(Al$_2$(SO$_4$)$_4$${\circ}$17$H_2O$) 과 헥사하이드라이트(MgSO$_4$${\circ}$6$H_2O$)가 형성되었다. 석고를 형성하는 Ca는 주변의 모암속에 포함된 방해석에서, SO$_4$ 는 폐석에 포함된 황철석에서 기원한 것으로 생각된다. 함수 알루미늄황산염광물인 알루노겐은 침상의 결정으로 나타난다. 하천수의 Al은 모암이나 폐석에 포함된 엽납석, 일라이트, 녹니석과 같은 층상규산염광물의 화학적 용해작용에 의해 부과된 것으로 추정된다. 함수 마그네슘황산염광물인 헥사하이드라이트는 침상이나 섬유상의 결정으로 생성되었으며 Mg의 기원은 모암내의 돌로마이트와 광산폐셔의 주 구성광물인 녹니석으로 판단된다.
