The Bombyx mori Microarray Database (BmMDB; http://silkworm.swu.edu.cn/microarray) provides information for tissue-specific gene expression by using the whole-genome oligonucleotide microarray in the silkworm. We analyzed the tissue-specific expression patterns in the silk gland, fat body, and midgut five days of fifth instar larvae during the development of B. mori. To verify the tissue-specific expression, analysis was conducted using quantitative Real-time RT-PCR and the highly expressed endogenous Actin RNA as an intrinsic reference. Finally, we confirmed five genes, (sw15872, sw00692, sw20990, sw05300,and sw2250), out of 18 candidates expressed in two different tissues, which was consistent with the data published by Dr. Xiang's group, thereby supporting the BmMDB. Further studies for promoter regions of candidate genes can be applied in creating transgenic silkworms as biomedical insects for use in producing biomaterials, and to serve as well-characterized models for understanding the mechanism for the genetic regulation of tissue-specific development.

Number of fixtures supporting prosthesis for rehabilitation of partial edentulism in distal area is an important factor in distal area to the bone tissue response around dental implant. Optimal number and optimal positioning of dental implant has leaded to the stable condition of bone tissue and successful long-term treatment outcome. This clinical and radiographic study was performed to document and evaluate the short-term result of occlusal rehabilitation by means of implant-supported fixed prostheses (ISPs) especially for partial edentulism in distal area in patients treated for advanced periodontal disease and to verify the number of fixture affecting the bone tissue response. A total of 30 consecutive patients referred because of advanced periodontal disease were included. Before the implant therapy was initiated, periodontal treatment was performed and the outcome evaluated during at least a 6-month period. An individual maintenance care program was designed for each patient. All 75 implants were placed using a 2-stage surgical approach. The patients were divided into 2 groups, in one of which two fixtures were placed and in the other of which three fixtures were placed with tripodal geometry. Following installation of the ISPs, all patients underwent a baseline examination including evaluation of i) oral hygiene, and ii) periodontal/ peri-implant conditions, and iii) radiographs. These examinations were repeated annually during the 1 or 2-year observation period. The results were as follows: 1.No single implant was lost during the observation follow-up period. 1.The percentage of plaque harboring surfaces and bleeding units upon probing were found to be low (<10%), and no soft tissue complications were recorded. 1.Two-fixture group showed bone destruction ranged from 0.0mm to 1.5mm and the mean was 0.31mm. Three-fixture group showed more bone destruction of 0.51mm. There was no statistically difference between two groups. These results suggested that the factor for success is not the number of fixture but the strict maintenance of peri-implant tissue health and initial stability of fixture.

Traumatic occlusion is a morbid condition that is caused by repeated occlusal stresses exerted on the periodontium that exceed the physiologic limits of tissue tolerance and contribute to the breakdown of the supporting tissue of the teeth. In reviewing these cases, the authors obtained the following results. 1. Roentgenographic examination revealed the typical signs of traumatic occlusion: severe resorption of roots, destruction of alveolar bone. 2. The major factor of traumatic occlusion is abnormal occlusal force. 3. The rsorptions of roots and periodontal changes which are caused by traumatic occlusion depend on the individual variation of the physical potential. 4. The pathologic features of traumatism are basically different from those of inflammation.

Local anesthesia is administered to control pain, but it may induce fear and anxiety. Root planing is a non-surgical periodontal therapy; however, when it is performed in an extensive manner, some tissue removal is inevitable. Notably, this removal may be so painful that local anesthesia is required to be administered to the area scheduled for the treatment. Although patients tend to accept root planing easily, they frequently express a fear of local anesthesia. Intraosseous anesthesia (IA) is an intraosseous injection technique, whereby local anesthetic is injected into the cancellous bone supporting the teeth. A computer-controlled IA system (CIAS) exhibits multiple benefits, such as less painful anesthesia, reduced soft tissue numbness, and the provision of palatal or lingual, as well as buccal, anesthesia via single needle penetration. In this report, we present two cases of root planing that were performed under local anesthesia, using a CIAS.

The morphological development of the carotid body was studied by electron microscope in human fetuses from 40mm to 260mm crown rump length (10-30 weeks of gestational age). At 40mm fetus, the carotid body was composed of cluster of primitive glomus cells, primitive supporting cells, unmyelinated nerve fibers, and blood capillaries. In connective tissue between internal and external carotid arteries adjacent to the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion, two types of glomus cells through all prenatal period were found. Dark cells contained a dense cytoplasm with conspicuous large dense-cored granules, whereas light cells had a less dense cytoplasm with dense-cored granules. The light cells contained dense-cored granules that were smaller and less abundant than those in the dark cells. The primitive supporting cells appeared star-shaped with attenuated cytoplasmic extensions intervening between the adjacent glomus cells. Synaptic contact between the axon terminals and soma of the glomus cells were first observed at 40mm fetus. In 80-100mm fetus, the carotid body contained tightly packed collection of glomus cells and supporting cells which surrounded the abundant thin-walled blood vessels. Intercellular junctions between the glomus cells and adjacent cells were commonly seen. Nerve endings on the glomus cells have the form of small boutons and the other from of large calyces. During the second half of the fetal period, the glomus cells were completely enveloped by supporting cells and nerve terminals. At 260mm, the morphological features of carotid body were similar to those of human adult. The result of this study demonstrates that there are differences between the carotid body and aorticopulmonary bodies, especially with respect to their synaptic complexes, abundant blood capillaries, and two glomus cell types.

This study was to analyze the stress distribution of implant and supporting tissue in $Br{\aa}nemark$ osseointegration implant. The analysis has been conducted by using the axisymmetric finite element method and type of model according to crown material. Tests have been performed at 1 kg load on central fossa of crown portion. Each type of model was designed differently according to crown material. 1) Porcelain fused to metal crown(Model A) 2) Composite resin veneered crown(Model B) 3) Acrylic resin veneered crown(Model C) 4) Type III gold crown(Model D) The displacements and stresses of implant and supporting structures were analyzed to investigate the influence of the type of crown material. The results were obtained as follows : 1. Displacement of implant was shown uniformly downward displacement in all models and abutments were observed distally downward displacement. 2. In supporting tissues, stress was concentrated on the crest of compact bone and the spongy bone below implant. 3. The PFM and the type III gold crown showed the largest concentration of stress at the crest of compact bone and the spongy bone below implant, respectively. Acrylic resin artificial teeth and composite resin veneered crown indicated almost the same distribution of stress. 4. The gold screw, the abutment screw and the top of abutment showed the concentration of stress in implants of every model.

최근 심미성에 대한 요구가 점점 증가함에 따라, 이제는 임플란트 수복에 있어서도 기능적인 면 뿐만 아니라 심미적인 면이 더욱 강조되고 있다. 상악 전치부 임플란트 수복은 임상가들에게 항상 도전적인 과제로 다가오는데 그 이유는 다음의 세 가지 요소를 모두 필요로 하기 때문이다. 첫째, 충분한 경조직이 필요하고 둘째, 충분한 연조직이 필요하며 그리고 셋째, 심미적인 수복물이 필요하다. 연조직의 심미성은 그 하부에 있는 경조직에 의존하게 되는데 그 이유는 하부의 경조직의 골격적인 지지가 있어야만 그것을 바탕으로 그 위에 건강하고 심미적인 연조직이 안정적으로 유지될 수 있기 때문이다. 그러므로, 경조직 재건은 심미적인 임플란트 수복에 있어서 첫번째 단계이며, 특히 3차원적으로 적절한 임플란트의 식립 위치 설정은 심미성 있는 최종 수복물을 얻기 위해서 가장 중요한 단계라고 할 수 있다. 그 다음으로 두번째 단계가 순측으로 충분한 두께의 연조직을 얻기 위한 수술 기법이며, 마지막 세번쨰 단계가 적절한 출현외곽을 갖는 임시 수복물을 통해서 얻어진 심미적인 최종 수복물이다. 본 임상 증례 보고는 순측의 골 열개 결손에서의 골 증대술 과정과 전치부 영역에 주로 사용되는 VIP-CT 라고 일컫는 유경 판막술을 이용한 연조직 증대술, 그리고 임시 수복물을 통한 연조직 형태 만들기와 맞춤형 인상 코핑을 이용한 인상채득법 등을 소개함으로써 경조직, 연조직, 수복물의 세 가지 요소가 심미적인 최종 수복물을 위해 서로 어떻게 조화를 이루어내는지 알아보고자 한다.

어린이에서 치아의 외상성 손상은 흔히 일어나는 문제이며, 손상 부위 및 정도에 따라 치아의 파절, 치주조직의 손상, 지지골 조직의 손상, 연조직의 손상 등으로 분류할 수 있다. 치주조직의 손상 중 치아가 외상에 의해 함입된 경우는 상악전치부에서 흔하며, 다른 유형의 손상에 비하여 비교적 발생빈도가 낮은 편이지만, 치축방향으로 충격이 가해져 치수뿐만 아니라 지지조직까지 손상을 일으킨다. 치아의 함입에 대한 치료 방법으로는 유전치나 조금 함입된 미성숙 영구 전치의 경우, 인위적인 재위치 없이 3-4주 동안 재맹출을 기대할 수도 있으나, 심하게 함입되어 재맹출을 기대하기 어려운 영구 전치의 경우에는 교정적 견인을 통해 교합수준에 이르게 하는 것이 일반적인 방법이며, 고정성/가철성 장치를 이용할 수 있다. 이때에는 약하고 지속적인 힘을 이용하여 치아를 치관방향으로 이동시킨다. 자발적 재맹출, 교정적 견인이 불가능 한 경우에는 외과적으로 치아를 재위치 시키고 주기적으로 관찰하는 방법이 있다. 이에 외상으로 인해 상악 좌측 영구 중절치가 함입되어 내원한 8세 7개월과 9세 11개월의 환아에서, 치수 괴사에 대한 통상적인 근관치료와 고정성 장치를 이용한 교정적 견인을 통해 양호한 치료 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Histochemical characteristic and ultrastructure of the mantle of the granular ark, Tegillarca granosa are described using light and electron microscopy. The mantle of the clam is composed of outer epidermis, connective tissue and inner epidermis. The simple epidermis consists of supporting cells, ciliated cells of the two types and secretory cells of three types. Connective tissue is composed of matrix, collagen fibers, muscular fibers and hemolymph sinus. The columnar supporting cell is covered with microvilli on the free surface. Ciliated cells are distributed in the inner epidermis with numerous cilia, microvilli and tubular mitochondria. Secretory cells could be classified into three types (A, B and C) with morphological features of the secretory granules. Type A secretory cells contains secretory granules with fibrous materials of high electron density Type B secretory cells are more abundant than the other cells, and contains secretory granules of membrane-bounded and high electron density. Secretory granules of the type C cells are divided into fibrous core layer and homogeneous peripheral layer. Type B secretory cells are abundant in the both epidermis of marginal mantle, while large number of type A and C secretory cells are evident in the outer epidermis of the central and umbonal mantle. This result showed that the outer and the inner epidermis of the mantle are related with shell formation and cleaning of the mantle cavity, respectively.
