동맥경화증은 동맥 내피세포의 손상으로 인해 내막층에 지질이 축적되어 발생 되는 염증성 질환으로 동맥 내막에 침윤되는 백혈구와 백혈구에서 분비되는 전염증성 싸이토카인에 의해 죽종형성이 시작된다. 꾸지뽕은 뽕나무과의 작은 나무로 그 추출물은 항염증, 항산화, 항암의 효과를 가지고 있다. 그러나, 동맥경화증에서 효능은 명확하게 연구되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 동맥경화증의 초기 진행에서 꾸지뽕의 항염증 효과를 알아보고자 꾸지뽕 뿌리의 추출물을 수득하였고, 동맥경화증의 동물 모델인 ApoE 결손 생쥐에서 복강대식세포를 분리하였다. 분리된 복강대식세포에 LPS로 염증반응을 유발하고 꾸지뽕 뿌리 추출물을 처리하였을 때 100㎍/ml 이하의 농도에서 세포 생존율의 변화가 관찰되지 않아 이 농도를 추가 실험을 위한 유효 농도로 설정하였다. 또한, LPS에 의해 증가한 염증 싸이토카인(MCP-1, IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-6)의 발현이 꾸지뽕 뿌리 추출물에 의해 감소하였다. 따라서, 꾸지뽕 뿌리 추출물은 동맥경화의 잠재적 위험성을 가지고 있는 대식세포에서 항염증 효과를 나타내어 동맥경화증의 치료제 개발에 이용 가능할 것이다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal and internal gaps of Ni-Cr and Co-Cr copings, fabricated using the dental ${\mu}-SLA$ system. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten study dies were made using a two-step silicone impression with a dental stone (type IV) from the master die of a tooth. Ni-Cr (NC group) and Co-Cr (CC group) alloy copings were designed using a dental scanner, CAD software, resin coping, and casting process. In addition, 10 Ni-Cr alloy copings were manufactured using the lost-wax technique (LW group). The marginal and internal gaps in the 3 groups were measured using a digital microscope ($160{\times}$) with the silicone replica technique, and the obtained data were analyzed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis H test. Post-hoc comparisons were performed using Bonferroni-corrected Mann-Whitney U tests (${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. The mean (${\pm}$ standard deviation) values of the marginal, chamfer, axial wall, and occlusal gaps in the 3 groups were as follows: $81.5{\pm}73.8$, $98.1{\pm}76.1$, $87.1{\pm}44.8$, and $146.8{\pm}78.7{\mu}m$ in the LW group; $76.8{\pm}48.0$, $141.7{\pm}57.1$, $80.7{\pm}47.5$, and $194.69{\pm}63.8{\mu}m$ in the NC group; and $124.2{\pm}52.0$, $199.5{\pm}71.0$, $67.1{\pm}37.6$, and $244.5{\pm}58.9{\mu}m$ in the CC group. CONCLUSION. The marginal gap in the LW and NC groups were clinically acceptable. Further improvement is needed for CC group to be used clinical practice.

본 연구에서는 CAD/CAM 시스템을 이용하여 제작한 코발트-크롬 주조 금속 코핑과 코발트-크롬 소결 금속 코핑의 변연 및 내면 적합도를 비교 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 코발트-크롬 금속 코핑의 변연 및 내면 적합도를 비교 평가는 기존의 주조방식인 CCM 그룹보다 소결과정만으로 제작한 CSM 그룹이 전반적으로 모두 우수하였다. 또한 CSM 그룹의 변연 적합도는 임상적으로 허용할 수 범위인 $120{\mu}m$ 이내 존재하였다는 결과를 통해서 그동안 매몰, 소환, 주조인 복잡한 과정을 거치면서 보철물의 오차가 발생 하였으나 소결과정만으로 공정 과정의 오차를 줄임으로써 완성도 높은 코발트-크롬 금속 코핑 제작이 가능하다고 생각된다.

성공적인 보철치료를 위해서 가장 필요한 선행조건 중 하나는 환자의 구강과 정확한 모형의 제작이다. 최근 치과용 캐드캠을 이용한 보철물의 제작 수요가 증가함에 따라 본 연구에서는 총의치 제작을 위한 디지털 모형의 정확도를 평가함으로써 해당 임상가(치과의사, 치과위생사, 치과기공사)들에게 참고자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 기존 아날로그 제작 방식에 의한 석고 모형(대조군)과 이를 스캔하여 제작한 디지털 모형(실험군)을 각각 20개씩 제작 후 정확도 평가를 위한 6개의 계측지점을 선정하였다. 두 집단의 모형에서 측정된 6개의 계측지점의 평균을 비교 평가하는 방식으로 디지털 모형의 정확도를 평가하였다. 본 연구 결과 치과용 스캐너를 이용하여 제작된 디지털 모형이 아날로그 모형보다 작게 제작된다는 것을 알 수 있었으나 이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 또한 두 집단의 모형들에서 측정된 계측거리의 평균의 차이는 계측거리 별로 0.05~0.45 mm로 조사되었는데, 이러한 차이는 기존 선행 연구들에 근거하였을 때 그 정도가 미비한 것으로써 최종 보철물의 성패에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다. 최근 치과용 캐드캠을 이용한 보철물의 제작 수요는 증가하고 있는데 반해 디지털 모형의 정확도와 관련한 연구는 매우 부족한 것을 감안하였을 때 본 연구는 관련 실험을 통해 결과를 도출하여 해당 임상가(치과의사, 치과위생사, 치과기공사)들에게 참고자료를 제시하고자 하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다고 생각된다. 본 연구 결과들을 종합하고, 선행 연구들의 결과에 비추어 보았을 때 치과용 캐드캠을 이용한 총의치 제작 시 제작되는 디지털 모형은 임상적으로 허용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Hand washing is an important component of hygiene program for food handlers. Hands can be a source of direct or indirect contamination of foods with pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, the effectiveness of hand washing methods and the use of 70% alcohol solution against transient skin bacteria was tested in an university foodservice facility. 70% alcohol solution is sprayed for 5 seconds automatically when hands are placed in the dispenser. Samples were taken using swab technique in meat cutting area, vegetable trimming area, and vegetable cutting area: before and after washing hands according to planned methods, and after being sprayed with 70% alcohol solution after washing hands. The bacteriological analysis of total plate counts, coliform, fecal coliform of food handlers' hands was done. Statistical data analysis was completed with Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis model using the SPSS program. The levels of initial contamination of workers' hand were significantly different by the work areas($x^2$=9.156, p<0.01). Workers in the vegetable trimming area had more heavily soiled hands than in the other work areas. Mean of TPC counts and coliform was 8.97×$10^5$ CFU/12.4$cm^2$, 2.93×$10^2$ MPN/12.4$cm^2$ respectively, but fecal coliform was not detected. Transient bacteria were removed from hands after washing and using 70% alcohol solution but were not removed completely. Mean reduction percentage in TPC varied among work areas and ranged from 93.19% to 94.99%, and in coliforms from 97.31% to 100%. A significant difference in TPC was found between before and after hand disinfection (Z=-2.714, p<.01) and between standardized hand washing procedures and un-standardized hand washing procedures(z=-2.301, p<.01). Subjects using the hand sanitizer showed a great elimination of TPC(99.45% reduction), but this effect was valid only after following proper washing procedures. Based on the results, the most effective hand washing method was recommended as the combination of the standardized hand washing procedure with warm-water and use of the 70% alcohol solution. The results can be used to develop hand hygiene programs and training strategies for enhancing hand hygiene practices for food handlers in foodservice operations.

Purpose: This study was intended to perform a cephalometric comparison between the patients with and without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The factors influencing the OSA in the lateral cephalogram were also investigated. Methods: Fifty patients who had visited the Sleep Disorder Clinic at the Ajou University Hospital and evaluated with the polysomnograph (PSG) and cephalogram, were included in the study. The patients had the apnea-hypopnea episode over 5 times per hour (apnea-hypopnea index $[AHI]{\geq}5$) were diagnosed as OSA after the overnight PSG. To evaluate the hard and soft tissue profiles, the cephalometric radiograms were taken at the maximal intercuspation. The correlation between the patient's age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI) and AHI was inspected in the OSA and control group. The difference between the OSA and control group was evaluated (Mann-Whitney U Test). The cephalometric influencing factors to OSA were analyzed (Pearson's correlation coefficient) statistically using SPSS statistics. Results: The OSA Group had a significantly higher BMI than the control group. The mean lower facial height (ANS-Me) was longer in the OSA group; however, statistically significant difference was not detected in the anteroposterior craniofacial measurements. The distance between mandibular plane and hyoid bone of the OSA group was significantly longer than that of the control group. The hyoid position (MP-Hyoid) had a positive correlation between AHI (P<0.001). However, the measurements of oropharyngeal airway were not different between the two groups. The hypothesis, that the antero-posteriorly narrow oropharyngeal airway may aggravate the airway resistance and give rise to a higher AHI, was rejected in the study. Conclusion: We suggest that the lateral cephalogram may be utilized as a useful method to evaluate OSA. The patients with a lower hyoid position can be expected to have higher risks of OSA. However, a comprehensive intraoral inspection, including the soft palate and tonsilar hypertrophy, is emphasized, as the lateral cepahlogram cannot visualize the oropharyngeal status completely.

Purpose: In patients with traumatic hemoperitoneum or pelvic bone fracture who underwent angiography and embolization, we want to find the prognostic factors related with mortality. Methods: Patients(333 patients) who visited our hospital with traumatic injury from March 2008 to April 2012 were included in this study. Only 37 patients with traumatic hemoperitoneum or pelvic bone fracture underwent angiography and embolization. A retrospective review was conducted, and Glasgow coma scale (GCS), Revised trauma score (RTS), Injury severity score (ISS), initial laboratory finding and time interval, the amount of transfusion from the arrival at the ER to the start of embolization, and the vital signs before and after procedure were checked. Stastical analysis was conducted using the Chi square and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: In univariate analysis, the amount of transfusion, the base deficit before procedure, the systolic blood pressure before and after the procedure, the GCS, the RTS and the ISS were significantly associated with prognosis. In the multivariate analysis, the ISS and the base deficit had significant association with prognosis. Of the 37 patients who underwent angiography and embolization, 31 patients needed not additional procedure (Group A) while the other 6 patients needed an additional procedure (Group B). After procedure, a statistically significant higher blood pressure was observed in Group A than in Group B. As to the difference in blood pressure before and after the procedure, a statistically significant decrease in systolic blood pressure was observed in Group B, but an increase was observed in Group A. Conclusion: In traumatic hemoperitoneum or pelvic bone fracture patients who underwent angiography and embolization, GCS, ISS, RTS, transfusion amount before the procedure, initial base deficit and systolic blood pressure were factors related to mortality. When patients who underwent angiography and embolization only were compared with patients who underwent re-embolization or additional procedure after the first embolization, an increase in systolic blood pressure after embolization was a prognostic factor for successful control of bleeding.
