This study was performed to identify the effect of synovium graft on conjunctiva in rabbits after dry eye induction. Six New Zealand White rabbits were used as dry eye models. Both eyes were divided to two groups as control and synovium graft group. The synovium graft was performed in fourth week after dry eye modeling. Quantitative change of tears through Schirmer tear test (STT), qualitative change of tear film through tear film break up time (TFBUT), and damage of cornea through fluorescein staining were observed for 10 weeks at intervals of two weeks. Histological examination was performed to evaluate cornea and conjunctiva at tenth week. In both groups, STT and TFBUT were significantly decreased in 4 weeks after modeling compared to 0 weeks (p < 0.05) . After synovium graft, there were increases in STT value at 4 weeks and TFBUT at 4 and 6 weeks in graft group (p < 0.05). Corneal fluorescein staining showed no significant difference between the two groups. In histopathological examination, grafted synovium was detected as round to ovoid ingression folds, well attached to grafted regions with 0.11 ± 0.04 mm² (range, 0.05-0.16 mm²). These results indicated that the synovium graft on the conjunctiva had an effect on the qualitative and quantitative improvement of the tear film even though there was no histological change.

간흡충은 현재 우리 나라에서 가장 중요한 인체 기생충으로, 감염된 간내 담관이 확장되고 벽이 비후되므로 초음파로 이 소견을 관찰하여 간흡충증을 추정진단할 수 있다. 감염기간과 치료에 따른 초음파상을 조직학적인 병변과 비교 관찰하여 초음파상의 진단적인 가치를 정립하고자 이 연구를 수행하였다. 집토끼 18마리에 간흡충의 피낭유충을 20개씩 3회 반복 감염시키거나 400개씩 1회 감염시켜서, 감염 후 4, 10, 22주에 EPG 검사와 초음파를 관찰하고 일부를 도살하여 조직병리학적인 소견을 관찰하였다. 또한 400개의 피낭유충을 감염시킨 토끼 4마리를 감염 후 10주에 프라지콴텔로 치료하고 치료 후 12주에 관찰하였다. 간홉충란 정량검사에서 4주에 EPG 0-14900의 범위에 있었으며, 10주 후에는 16마리 모두에서 충란을 검출하여 EPG가 200-18200에 있었다. 감염 후 4주에 초음파로 관찰한 14마리 중에 12마리에서 간내담관의 확장이 있고. 담관주위 에코는 담관확장이 중등도 이상 심한 개체 6마리에서만 관찰하였다. 감염 후 10주와 22주, 또한 치료 12주 후에 관찰한 모든 개체에서 간내 담관의 화장 소견이 있었고 일부에서 담관주위 에코를 확인하였다. 조직학적인 소견도 감염 4주 후부터 담관이 확장되고 점막이 증식하며, 담관 주위 염증과 섬유화가 관찰되었고 기간이 경과하면서 더욱 심하게 진행하였다. 치료 후에도 이러한 병변이 잔존하였다. 이러한 병변은 초음파 소견과 잘 일치하였다. 토끼의 각 간엽에 충체가 고르게 분포하였고 말단 담관에까지도 충체가 들어 있었다. 그러나 경감염 초기에는 초음파의 담관 확장 소견이 없는 개체도 있었다. 여러 가지 초음파 소견 중에서 간내 담관의 확장만이 진단적인 의미를 가지는 소견이고 10주 이상 감염된 모든 개체에서 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 치료 후 잔존 병변을 구분하는 데에 한계가 있어 이 부분에 대한 연구가 더 필요하다고 생각한다.

New Zealand white 계의 토끼에게 EDC를 사용하여 hemocyanin에 접합시킨 human G-17-I을 면역한 결과 gastrin의 방사면역측정에 적합한 항 gastrin 혈청을 얻는데 성공하였다. 본 실험에서 얻은 항 gastrin 혈청의 역가는 1:25,000이며 human G-17-I과 human big gastrin에 매우 친화력이 높은 반면 다른 위장관 peptide 들과는 교차반응성이 아주 낮았다. 본 항 gastrin 혈청의 effective affinity constant는 $1.77{\times}10^{11}/M$이었다. 또한 총 결합부위(total binding sites)는 255 nM, 이질성지수(heterogeneity index)는 0.84 그리고 average affinity constant는 $0.79{\times}10^{11}/M$이었다. 본 실험에서 얻은 항 gastrin 혈청을 사용하여 사람과 흰쥐의 혈장 gastrin 농도를 방사면역측정법으로 측정한 결과 이미 잘 알려진 결과와 동일한 성적을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들을 종합하여 볼때 본 실험에서 얻은 항 gastrin 혈청은 생리적농도로 존재하는 gastrin의 방사면역측정에 적합한 것으로 생각된다.

Background: The aims of present study were (1) to evaluate new bone formation among the 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR)-incorporated silk fabric membrane (SFM), conventional SFM, and uncovered control groups and (2) to compare the amount of residual membrane between the 4HR-incorporated SFM and conventional SFM in a rabbit parietal defect model. Methods: Nine New Zealand white rabbits were used for this animal study. After the formation of a bilateral parietal bone defect (diameter 8.0 mm), either 4HR-incorporated SFM or conventional SFM was grafted into the defect. The defect in the control was left uncovered. New bone formation and the amount of residual membrane were evaluated by histomorphometry at 8 weeks after the operation. Results: The total amount of new bone was $37.84{\pm}8.30%$ in the control, $56.64{\pm}15.74%$ in the 4HR-incorporated SFM group, and $53.35{\pm}10.52%$ in the conventional SFM group 8 weeks after the operation. The differences were significant between the control and 4HR-incorporated SFM group (P = 0.016) and between the control and conventional SFM group (P = 0.040). The residual membrane was $75.08{\pm}10.52%$ in the 4HR-incorporated SFM group and $92.23{\pm}5.46%$ in the conventional SFM group 8 weeks after the operation. The difference was significant (P = 0.039). Conclusions: The 4HR-incorporated SFM and conventional SFM groups showed more bone regeneration than the control group. The incorporated 4HR accelerated the partial degradation of the silk fabric membrane in a rabbit parietal defect model 8 weeks after the operation.

Purpose: The aim of this pilot study was to determine the osteoconductivity and dimensional stability of augmented sinuses using different ratios of biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) in a rabbit sinus model. Methods: Each sinus of New Zealand white rabbits (2.5-3.5 kg) was assigned to one of two groups: BCP with a hydroxyapatite to ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate (HA:${\beta}$-TCP) ratio of 70:30 (group TCP30) and BCP with an HA:${\beta}$-TCP ratio of 30:70 (group TCP70). After preparing a window in the antral wall of a sinus, the Schneiderian membrane was elevated, and the applicable material was grafted. A fluorochrome calcein green was injected five days before euthanizing the animals at four months post-surgery. The specimens were analyzed histologically, histomorphometrically, and by using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Results: Micro-CT analysis revealed that the total augmented volume and the new bone volume did not differ significantly between the two groups whereas the resorption of materials was greater in the TCP70 group. The trabecular thickness, number, and separation also did not differ significantly between the two groups. Histomorphometrically, the areas of total augmentation, new bone, and residual material, as well as the ratio of new-bone-material contact did not differ significantly between the groups. Histologically, the residual particles were more scattered in the TCP70 group than in the TCP30 group. The fluorescence of the calcein green did not differ notably between the two groups. Conclusions: The osteoconductivity and dimensional stability of the two BCPs with different ratios tested in this study were comparable after four months of healing. Therefore, we conclude that both BCPs show promise as a bone substitute for sinus augmentation.

Purpose: Fibronectin (FN) has been shown to stimulate bone regeneration in animal models. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of bovine bone mineral coated with synthetic oligopeptides to enhance bone regeneration in rabbit calvarial defects. Methods: Oligopeptides including fibrin-binding sequences of FN repeats were synthesized on the basis of primary and tertiary human plasma FN structures. Peptide coated and uncoated bone minerals were implanted into 10 mm calvarial defects in New Zealand white rabbits, and the animals were sacrificed at 4 or 8 weeks after surgery. After specimens were prepared, histologic examination and histomorphometric analysis were performed. Results: At 4 weeks after surgery, the uncoated groups showed a limited amount of osteoid formation at the periphery of the defect and the oligopeptide coated groups showed more osteoid formation and new bone formation in the center of the defect as well as at the periphery. At 8 weeks, both sites showed increased new bone formation. However, the difference between the two sites had reduced. Conclusions: Fibrin-binding synthetic oligopeptide derived from FN on deproteinized bovine bone enhanced new bone formation in rabbit calvarial defects at the early healing stage. This result suggests that these oligopeptides can be beneficial in reconstructing oral and maxillofacial deformities or in regenerating osseous bone defects.

Purpose: The role of hard-type crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) with particulate bone substitutes in bone regeneration for combined inlay-onlay grafts has not been fully investigated. We aimed to evaluate the effect of hard-type crosslinked HA used with bone substitute in terms of new bone formation and space maintenance. Methods: A 15-mm-diameter round defect was formed in the calvaria of 30 New Zealand White rabbits. All animals were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: the control group (spontaneous healing without material, n=10), the biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) graft group (BCP, n=10), and the BCP graft with HA group (BCP/HA, n=10). The animals were evaluated 4 and 12 weeks after surgery. Half of the animals from each group were sacrificed at 4 and 12 weeks after surgery. Samples were evaluated using micro-computed tomography, histology, and histomorphometry. Results: The BCP group showed higher bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) values than the control and BCP/HA groups at both 4 and 12 weeks. The BCP and BCP/HA groups showed higher bone surface/tissue volume (BS/TV) values than the control group at both 4 and 12 weeks. The BCP group showed higher BS/TV values than the control and BCP/HA groups at both 4 and 12 weeks. No statistically significant difference in newly formed bone was found among the 3 groups at 4 weeks. The BCP group showed significantly higher new bone formation than the BCP/HA group at 12 weeks. Conclusions: Hard-type crosslinked HA did not show a positive effect on new bone formation and space maintenance. The negative effect of hard-type crosslinked HA may be due to the physical properties of HA that impede osteogenic potential.

본 연구는 BMP-4의 발현을 통해 골절 후 골유합에 대한 미세전류의 효과를 관찰하였다. 실험동물은 체중 2.5~3 kg내외의 6개월 령 뉴질랜드 웅성 토끼 24마리를 사용하였으며 경골 골절 후 미세전류를 적용한 실험군과 비적용군인 대조군으로 나누었고, 시간경과에 따른 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 3일, 7일, 14일 및 28일군으로 나누어 BMP-4에 대한 면역조직화학적 염색을 실행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. BMP-4의 발현은 미세전류를 적용한 실험군과 자연치유군인 대조군 모두 시간이 경과함에 따라 증가하다가 감소되었다. 그러나 골절 7일 후 까지 동일 시점에서 실험군이 대조군에 비해 더욱 강한 면역양성 반응을 보였다. 특히 경골 골절 7일 후 대조군은 하버씨계의 동심원과 간질층판을 중심으로 중등도의 갈색의 면역양성반응을 보인데 반해 실험군의 경우 바깥층판을 포함하여 매우 강한 갈색의 면역양성반응을 보였다. 위의 결과로 보면 골절 후 미세전류를 적용할 때 치유과정 초기에 골형성단백질인 BMP-4의 발현을 증가시켜 골절 치유를 촉진시킴을 알 수 있었다.

Introduction: This study examined the effect of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-2 and $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate ($\beta$-TCP) on new bone formation in a rabbit calvarium using a rapid prototype titanium cap (RP Ti cap). Materials and Methods: Eight New Zealand white rabbits were used in this study. Hemispherical RP Ti caps (10 mm in diameter) were implanted subperiosteally on the rabbit calvaria. $\beta$-TCP was filled in the RP Ti cap in the control group, and rhBMP-2 soaked $\beta$-TCP was used in experimental group. The rabbits were sacrificed 2 and 4 weeks after the operation. The volume and pattern of newly formed bone was analyzed by micro computed tomography (CT). Results: Macroscopically, there were no abnormal findings in any of the animals. The micro CT images revealed new bone from the calvaria that expanded gradually toward the top of the titanium cap, particularly along the inner surface of the titanium cap in the experimental group at 4 weeks after grafting. There was no significant difference in new bone volume ratio between the control and experimental groups at 2 weeks after grafting. There was a statistically significant difference in the new bone volume ratio between the experimental ($14.1{\pm}1.8\;%$) and control ($7.2{\pm}1.5\;%$) groups at 4 weeks after grafting (P<0.01). Conclusion: The RP Ti cap can effectively guide new bone formation and rhBMP-2 can induce the new bone formation.
