본 연구는 탈구된 치아의 저장 매체로서 polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN)의 적합성을 평가하고자 하였다. HBSS와 10, 25, 50, 100 ㎍/mL 농도의 PDRN 용액과 수돗물에 저장된 인간 치주인대 세포의 생존율을 측정하기 위해 Cell Counting Kit-8 assay와 Live/Dead assay를 시행하였다. 또한, PDRN의 항염증 효과를 평가하기 위한 NO 검출 및 qRT-PCR 실험을 진행하였다. 100 ㎍/mL 농도의 PDRN 용액에 저장된 치주인대 세포의 생존율이 다른 용액보다 유의하게 높았다(p < 0.01). 또한, 100 ㎍/mL 농도의 PDRN 용액은 유의하게 NO의 생산을 줄였다(p < 0.0001). 그리고, HBSS 용액에 비하여 50 및 100 ㎍/mL 농도의 PDRN 용액에서 유의하게 tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, 그리고 IL-10의 발현이 낮았다(p < 0.01). 이 연구를 통해 PDRN은 치주인대 세포에 세포 보존 및 항염증 효과를 가진 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이 연구는 효과적인 탈구치 저장매체의 개발을 위한 향후 추가적인 실험의 기반이 될 수 있을 것이라 생각한다.

Follicular oocytes were released from the graafian follicles of ovaries from 3-4 weeks old mice. The spontaenous maturation of these follicular oocyes was inhibited by the treatment of dbcAMP and progesterone and these oocytes were cultured for 2-8hr in the Modified Hank's balanced salt solution(MHBS). Ethylenediaminetetraaceticacid(EDTA) and calmoudulin antagonist, trifluoperazine (TFP) were treated to the culture medium in order to investigate whether these chemical agents inhibit calcium uptake into the oocyte and oocyte maturation. $^{45}Ca^{2+}$, 10-${\mu}$Ci/ml was added to the culture medium during the culture period. $^{45}Ca^{2+}$uptake into the oocytes was examined whether and when various kind of oocyte maturation inhibiting agents inhibit or stimulate the influx of calcium into oocytes. Dibutyryl cAMP and progesterone decrease $^{45}Ca^{2+}$uptake into the oocytes and synergistic inhibiting effect of dbcAMP and progesterone was prominent at much lower dosages. Calcium uptake into oocytes seems to be higher during first 2 hour culture period rather than next 4hr culture. After 8hr culture, calcium uptake level of the oocytes which GVBD already took place gradually approached to the level of those which were maintained at GV by the treatment of dbcAMP and progesterone. However, $^{45}Ca^{2+}$uptake into the GV maintained oocytes did not change at all even after 8hr culture period. In addition, calcium chelating agent, EDTA inhibited calcium uptake into oocytes as well as nuclear maturation of oocytes. Lower dosage used in the present study did not inhibit calcium uptake as well as oocyte maturation.

Drug delivery system by the use of red blood cells was established to sustain the release of drugs in the circulatory system by the intravenous injection. The entrapment method by the preswelling technique was re-examined and evaluated for searching the new entrapping conditions without hemolysis. The addition of 4 volume of $0.6{\times}\;hank's$ balanced salt solution (HBSS) into 1 volume of 50% red blood cells suspension did not induce the hemolysis and change the hematocrit level in this experimental condition (within 15 min). Most of daunorubicin could be entrapped into red blood cells within 15 min. While the intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level followed by the entrapment was reduced to 86% of normal ATP level, the membrane fluidity and the shape factor of red blood cells were not altered. The release rate of daunorubicin from red blood cells was affected by the hemolysis under this condition. To maintain the intracellular ATP in red blood cells, the new reaction buffer was made With the addition of ATP and sodium pyruvate during the entrapment procedure because the hemolysis during the release test would reflect the loss of intracellular ATP that might result in the decrease of the viability in vivo. The addition of ATP raised the intracellular ATP level, which protect the hemolysis during the release test.

The effect of Sr addition on mechanical and bio-corrosion properties of as-cast Mg-3wt.%Zn-0.5wt.%Ca-xwt.%Sr (x = 0.3, 0.6, 0.9) alloys were examined for application as biodegradable implant material. The microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the as-cast Mg-Zn-Ca-Sr alloys were characterized by using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, tensile testing and electrochemical measurement in Hank's solution. The as-cast alloys contained ${\alpha}$-Mg and eutectic $Ca_2Mg_6Zn_3$ phases, while the alloys contained ${\alpha}$-Mg, $Ca_2Mg_6Zn_3$ and Mg-Zn-Ca-Sr intermetallic compound when the Sr addition was more than 0.3 wt.%. The yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation increased with the increasing of Sr content up to 0.6 wt.% but decreased in the 0.9 wt.% Sr-added alloy, whereas the corrosion resistance of 0.3 wt.% Sr-added alloy was superior to other alloys. It was thought that profuse Mg-Zn-Ca-Sr intermetallic compound deteriorated both the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the as-cast alloy.

Objectives : The extract of Sagunja-tang has been traditionally used for restorative treatment of constitutional weakness, vascular and immune disorder, and nervous disease in Oriental country. This study investigated the regulatory effects of Sagunja-tang on the expression, production, and activity of immune mediators.Methods : In this study, the extract of Sagunja-tang was prepared by extracting with distilled water at 100$^{\circ}C$ for 2.5h. The extract was freeze-dried following filtration through 0.45${{\mu}m}$ filter. The extract was dissolved in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) and filtered again through 0.45${{\mu}m}$ filter before use. The level of nitrite, an oxidative product of nitric oxide(NO) was measured in the culture medium by the Griess reaction. The levels of prostaglandin E₂(PGE₂), Th1 cytokines (IFN-${\gamma}$, IL-2) and Th2 cytokines(IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the protein levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression were determined by Western blot analysis. Also examined the effects of the extract on T-cell proliferation and cytotoxic activity of natural killer cells.Results : In this investigation, Production levels of Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) was inhibited in a dose dependent manner by treatment with the extract. I also found that the extract increased T-cell proliferation and cytotoxic activity of natural killer cells in a dose-dependent manner.Conculsions : These results suggest that the water extract of Sagunja-tang may be useful for a therapeutic drug against a sickly constitution and immune diseases, probably by regulating the production of immune mediators.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate periodontal and pulpal healing in replanted rat teeth, preserved under different storage conditions, with or without root conditioning using doxycycline. Methods: A total of 40 maxillary first molars extracted from 20 Sprague-Dawley rats were stored for different durations under different conditions (5 minutes in dry storage and 60 minutes in Hank's balanced salt solution [HBSS]) and subsequently replanted. The rats were divided into 2 groups based on the use of root surface treatment: the doxycycline group (root surface treated with doxycycline) and the control group (no doxycycline treatment). Eight weeks after replantation, the animals were sacrificed, and the teeth were evaluated using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histomorphometric analysis. Results: In the micro-CT analysis, the doxycycline group showed the same rate of occurrence of periapical radiolucency as was observed in the control group, but a lower degree of root resorption in teeth replanted after 60 minutes of storage in HBSS (P<0.05). In the histomorphometric analysis, the doxycycline group exhibited no improvement in either pulpal or periodontal healing of the replanted tooth after 5 minutes of dry storage, but showed a lower grade of surface root resorption ($1.37{\pm}0.77$) and inflammatory resorption in the teeth stored for 60 minutes in HBSS ($1.33{\pm}0.71$). Conclusions: In conclusion, doxycycline improved the periodontal healing of replanted teeth stored for 60 minutes in HBSS, whereas doxycycline did not improve periodontal healing of replanted tooth after 5 minutes of dry storage. Within the limits of this study, doxycycline showed more favorable periodontal healing despite delayed replantation.

소장점막하조직은 콜라젠과 글리코스아미노글리칸 및 세포활성을 촉진하는 성장인자들로 구성되어 있다. 최근에는 이종이식의 면역 거부반응이 없는 생체물질로서 응용되고 있고 SIS에 함유되어 있는 성장인자는 전층 피부손상층을 치료하는데 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있다. 우리는 본래의 SIS 쉬트와 아세트산으로 처리하여 팽윤시킨 SIS 쉬트를 제조하였고, 각각에 대해 1겹과 5겹의 SIS 쉬트를 제조하였다. 이를 SEM을 통해 표면 및 단면의 형태를 확인하였고, 증류수, 인산염 완충액, HBSS (Hank's balanced salt solution)완충액, 트리스 완충액, HEPES (N-[2-hydroxyethyl) piperazine-N'-(2-ethanesulfonic acid]) 완충액에서의 물 흡수성, pH에 따른 물 흡수성 그리고 시간에 따른 물 흡수성을 비교 실험하였다. 본래의 SIS 쉬트보다 산 처리된 SIS 쉬트가, 증류수보다는 완충액에서의 물 흡수성이 높음을 확인하였다. 중성 용액보다 산성과 염기성 용액에서 SIS 쉬트는 팽윤되어 더 많은 물을 흡수하였다. 또한, 증류수와 HEPES 완충액에서 시간에 따른 물 흡수성 실험을 한 결과 1일 이후부터 10일 동안 약 200%물을 지속적으로 흡수하였다. 이로써 SIS 쉬트와 산 처리된 SIS 쉬트가 창상 치료를 위한 드레싱제와 생분해성이식 재료로서 사용가능하리라 판단된다.
