Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and tranexamic acid (TXA) mouth rinse on patients with gingivitis. Methods: This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, clinical trial included 45 healthy adults with gingivitis, who were randomized into 2 groups. The experimental group used a 0.05% CPC and 0.05% TXA mouth rinse, and the control group used a placebo mouth rinse. The following clinical indices were assessed at baseline, at 3 weeks, and at 6 weeks: the Turesky-Quigley-Hein plaque index (QHI), the $L{\ddot{o}}e-Silness$ gingival index (GI), and bleeding on marginal probing (BOMP). The subjects used the mouth rinse during the experimental period for 20 seconds, 4-5 times daily (10 mL each time). Results: There were no significant differences in the clinical indices between the groups at baseline. In the experimental group (CPC+TXA), a statistically significant improvement was evident in the QHI, GI, and BOMP at 3 and 6 weeks. These results were similar to those observed in the control group at 3 and 6 weeks, although the change in BOMP was not statistically significant in that group. At 6 weeks, the experimental group had a significantly lower mean score for the QHI than the control group. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that a CPC and TXA mouth rinse exhibited significant antiplaque and anti-gingivitis efficacy, and had a positive effect on bleeding control when used daily for 6 weeks.

Experiments were performed on mice to investigate the effect of methionine diets (MET) on the immunotoxicity of ethanol. ICR female mice were divided into 5 groups, Met (Basal (B)+0.19% methionine(M), B+1.71% M and B+5.13%W) and ethanol(4%) were administered ad libitum for 21 days. The mice were evaluated for changes in immune status as measured by antibody titer, Arthus reaction, delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH), rosette forming cell(RFC) and plaque forming cell (PFC) to sheep red blood cells (S-RBC). To investigate the change of the non-specific immune response, the number of leukocytes in peripheral blood and phagocyte activity were measured. The results were summarized as follows: (1) The weight ratios of spleen and thymus to body weight were significantly increased by the B+0.19% M, B+0.57% M and B+1.71% M groups in comparison with control group(B), but B+5.13% M group was significantly decreased. (2) Humoral immune responses were significantly increased by the B+0.19% M and B+0.57% M groups in comparison with control group, but B+5.13% M group was significantly decreased. (3) Cellular immune responses were significantly decreased by the B+1.71% M and B+5.13% M groups in comparison with control group. (4) Phagocyte activities were significantly increased by the B+0.19% M, B+0.57% M and B+1.71% M groups in comparison with control groups, but B+5.13% M group was significantly decreased. (5) The number of circulating leukocyte was significantly increased in the B+0.19% M and B+0.57% M groups in comparison with control group, but B+5.13% M group was significantly decreased.

The purpose of this 6-months study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes following guided tissue regeneration treating human mandibular Class II furcation defects with a bioabsorbable BioMesh barrier(test treatment) or a nonabsorbable ePTFE barrier(control treatment). Fourteen defects in 14 patients(mean age 44 years) were treated with BioMesh barriers and ten defects in 10 patients(mean age 48 years) with ePTFE barriers. After initial therapy, a GTR procedure was done. Following flap elevation, root planing, and removal of granulation tissue, each device was adjusted to cover the furcation defect. The flaps were repositioned and sutured to complete coverage of the barriers. A second surgical procedure was performed at control sites after 4 to 6 weeks to remove the nonresorbable barrier. Radiographic and clinical examinations(plaque index, gingival index, tooth mobility, gingival margin position, pocket depth, clinical attachment level) were carried out under standardized conditions immediately before and 6 months after surgery. Furthermore, digital subtraction radiography was carried out. All areas healed uneventfully. Surgical treatment resulted in clinically and statistically equivalent changes when comparisons were made between test and control treatments. Changes in plaque index were 0.7 for test and 0.4 for control treatments; changes in gingival index were 0.9 and 0.5. In both group gingival margin position and pocket depth reduction was 1.0mm and 3.0mm; clinical attachment level gain was 1.9mm. There were no changes in tooth mobility and the bone in radiographic evaluation. No significant(p${\leq }$0.05) difference between the two membranes could be detected with regard to plaque index, gingival index, gingival margin position, pocket depth, and clinical attachment level. In conclusion, a bioabsorbable BioMesh membrane is effective in human mandibular Class II furcation defects and a longer period study is needed to fully evaluate the outcomes.

본 연구의 목적은 chlorhexidine varnish를 고정식 교정장치 장착 환자의 치면에 도포한 후 나타나는 치태내 균주의 변화 양상을 장기간 관찰하는 것이다. 서울대학교병원 치과진료부 교정과에서 고정치 교정장치로 치료하기로 하였던 환자 100명중에서 32주까지 장기간 추적 (follow-up) 되었던 21명을 최종 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 실험군 (12명) 은 chlorhexidine varnish를 1주일 간격으로 4회 도포한 후 고정식 교정장치를 부착하였고, 대조군 (9명) chlorhexidine varnish 처치를 하지 않고 고정식 교정장치를 부착하였다. 그리고 실험군에서는 20주 째에 chlorhexidine varnish를 1회 처치하였다. 두 군에서 고정식 교정장치 부착 직전과 부착 후 4, 8, 20, 32주의 치태내 균주의 변화 양상을 간접면역 형광 현미경법으로 분석하고 SAS 통계프로그램을 사용하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Streptococcus mutans는 실험군에서 전 실험기간동안 통계학적으로 유의성 있게 억제되 었고 (p<0.01), 대조군에서 전 실험기간동안 통계학적으로 유의성 있게 증가하였다 (p<0.05). 2. Streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus mitis, Actinomyces viscosus, Actinomyces naeslundii는 실험군과 대조군에서 통계학적으로 유의성 있는 변화를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 고정식 교정장치를 사용할 환자에서 chlorhexidine varnish를 처치할 경우 치아 우식의 주 원인균인 Streptococcus mutant를 장기간 선택적으로 억제할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Many researches are being done to study the effect of toothpaste containing natural extracts. The aim of this study was to evaluate the plaque control effect and therapeutic effect of toothpaste products containing chitosan extract. 120 healthy subjects with gingivitis or early periodontitis were divided into two groups. Subjects in the experimental group only used toothpaste containing chitosan and subjects in the control group used toothpaste without chitosan. At first, subjects received scaling and tooth brushing instruction. Gingival index, bleeding index, probing pocket depth, probing attachment level were scored at baseline, 2 months, and 3 months, and plaque index were scored at baseline, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months. Gingival index of experimental group and control group at baseline, 2 months, and 3 months use were 0.71${\pm}$0.66, 0.49${\pm}$0.55, 0.36${\pm}$0.49 and 0.62${\pm}$0.58, 0.51${\pm}$0.52, 0.48${\pm}$0.50 (mean${\pm}$SD), respectively (statistically significant different at p <0.05 ). Plaque index of experimental group and control group at baseline, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months were 0.52${\pm}$0.50, 0.43${\pm}$0.50, 0.39${\pm}$0.49, 0.29${\pm}$0.46 and 0.49${\pm}$0.50, 0.50${\pm}$0.50, 0.51${\pm}$0.50, 0.45${\pm}$0.50, respectively (statistically significant different at p<0.05 ). Bleeding index of experimental group and control group were 0.40${\pm}$0.49, 0.33${\pm}$0.47, 0.24${\pm}$0.43 and 0.40${\pm}$0.49,0,38${\pm}$0.49,0.30${\pm}$0.46, respectively (statistically significant different at p<0.05). Probing depth of experimental group and control group were 2.41${\pm}$0.64, 2.31${\pm}$0.60, 2.28${\pm}$0.55 and 2.51${\pm}$0.67, 2.47${\pm}$0.63,2.42${\pm}$0.62, respectively (statistically significant different at p${\pm}$0.66, 2.32${\pm}$0.62 and 2.54${\pm}$0.70, 2.51${\pm}$0.69,2.46${\pm}$0.66, respectively (statistically significant different at p<0.05 ). From these finding, it can be concluded that toothpaste containing chitosan have better plaque control effect and therapeutic effect on gingivitis and early periodontitis compared to conventional toothpastes.

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of chemoreduction combined with topical treatment of advanced intraocular retinoblastoma (RB). Materials and Methods: A total of 22 eyes from 17 children with RB were selected for the study and treated with chemoreduction combined with topical cryotherapy, transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) or episcleral plaque brachytherapy. Clinical and follow-up data were retrospectively analyzed. Results: All children received 2~6 courses of chemoreduction treatment, ($4.5{\pm}0.8$ courses on average); 17 eyes from 13 children were treated by chemoreduction combined with cryotherapy or TTT and 5 eyes from 4 children with chemoreduction combined with $^{125}I$ episcleral plaque brachytherapy. The eye retention rate was 81.8% (18/22), among which 38.9% (7/18) featured restored or maintained good vision. Postoperative follow-up period was 7 to 34 months, ($18.6{\pm}5.2$ months on average). The recurrence rate was 41.2% (7/17), among which 57.1% (4/7) were controlled by supplementing or appending cryotherapy or TTT treatment during the follow-up period. The tumor basal diameter and thickness were significantly reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01) after treatment. All children demonstrated different degrees of hair loss, 70.6% (12/17) with different degrees of gastrointestinal reactions, 5.88% (1/17) with neutropenia and 11.8% (2/17) being seriously infected during the chemotherapeutic treatment. Univariate and logistic regression analysis showed that tumor basal diameter before treatment had a significant effect on the prognosis (P<0.01). Conclusions: Chemoreduction combined with topical therapy can effectively control RB in the short term, and tumor basal diameter before treatment is an independent risk factor for prognosis.
