In this study, effects of cyclophosphamide on the growth of the mandibular condyle head were investigated with Spraque-Dawley rats of the 28 days of age. Rats were devided into four groups. Three were used as experimental groups, and one as control. Each rat in experimental group was injected intraperitoneally with cyclophosphamide repeatedly three times, 20mg/kg for the first group, 40mg/kg for the second, and 60mg/kg for the third each time. Rats in control group were injected with physiological saline in the same method. Rats in each group were sacrificed at 5, 10, and 15 days following the last injection. The specimens were stained with H-E, toluidine blue, PAS, and alcian blue. The results were as follows; 1. In experimental group, with increasing the injection doses, the thickness of the condylar cartilage from the transitional zone to the hypertrophic zone became thinner than in control group. 2. Weaker metachromasia to toluidine blue and less positive reaction to PAS were seen. 3. In primary marrow cavity the fewer trabecular was formed, The direction of trabecular formation became obscuerer, and the lower density of bone was resulted in.

Purpose: This study was aimed at evaluating the histological changes of new bone and expression of osteopontin (OPN) after mandibular distraction osteogenesis. Materials and Methods: Unilateral mandibular distraction (0.5 mm twice per day for 10 days) was performed in eight adult dogs. Two animals were sacrificed at 7, 14, 28 and 56 days after completion of distraction, respectively. The distracted bones and contralateral non-distracted control bones were harvested and processed for histological and immunohistochemical examinations. Results: The new bone was arranged to tension direction after distraction osteogenesis. 7 days after distraction, numerous osteoblasts lining the immature trabecular bone and fibroblast-like cells in the fibrous intrezone were observed. 14 days after distraction, the new formed trabecular bones were thickened compared with 7 days after distraction. 28 days after distraction, the fibrous interzone was almost filled with newly calcified bone, and it was more hardened at 56 days after distraction. Increased OPN signals detected in the osteoblasts lining the trabecular bone and fibroblast-like cells in the fibrous interzone at 7 and 14 days after distraction. At 28 days after distraction, the OPN was weakly expressed in the osteoblasts, and it was not detected in all cellular components of distracted bone at 56 days later of distraction. Conclusions: After distraction osteogenesis, the distracted zone was completely calcified during the 56 days of consolidation period. In this study, the staining intensity of OPN increased in the osteoblasts and fibroblast-like cells at 7 and 14 days after distraction. The expression pattern of this protein shown here suggested that OPN play an important role in the osteogenesis during the early consolidation period.

Bone is continuously remodeled during adult life with the resorption of old bone by osteoclasts and its subsequent replacement by osteoblast. Bone homeostasis is maintained by a balance between activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, but an imbalance between resorption and formation results in bone diseases including osteoporosis. Osteoblasts line up on the bone surface, especially regions of new bone formation, lay down bone matrix (osteoid) in orderly lamellae and induce its mineralization. Thus, the increased activity of osteoblasts is helpful to treat and prevent osteoporosis. In this study, we examined whether 80% EtOH extract of yukmijiwhang-whan is capable of affecting osteoblast proliferation using human osteoblast-like cell line, MG-63 and Saos-2. In an in vivo experiment, extract of yukmijiwhang-whan was administered for 9 weeks to ovariectomized (OVX) rats. At necropsy, uterus weights were measured, and trabecular bone areas (TBAS) of tibia and the sixth lumbar vertebra were measured by bone histomorphology. The maximum cell proliferation of MG-63 caused by extract of yukmijiwhang-whan at $5\;{\times}\;10^{-6}\;mg/ml$ was approximately 115% compared with control. In Saos-2, cell proliferation was approximately 145% of control at $5\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;mg/ml$ and maximum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was approximately 143% of control at $5\;{\times}\;10^{-5}\;mg/ml$. In animal study, however, the tibia and lumbar TBAS of the yukmijiwhang-whan group did not increased than the OVX control group. In conclusion, the 80% EtOH extract of yukmijiwhang-whan increased proliferation of osteoblasts but did not prevent bone loss in OVX rats.

Objectives: Osteoporosis is one of the most common metabolic bone disorders in the menopausal stage, a disease signified by decrease of bone mass. The purpose of this study was to learn how Lycii Fructus influences SD rats with osteoporosis caused by the removal of the ovaries. Methods: After the removal of the ovaries from 24 female Sprague-Dawley rats, they were divided into a normal group, a control group, and a Lycii Fructus (25mg/100g) administration group. After 8 weeks, the rats were sacrificed and their weights, albumin, AST, ALT, ALP, total-cholesterol, triglyceride, P, Ca, T4, E2, weight of a femur, ash content of the tibia, and area and thickness of trabecular bone were measured. Results: Regarding the density of ALT, ALP, and estradiol from serum, the Lycii Fructus group was significantly decreased compared to the control group, and the density of phosphorous and calcium also decreased slightly. Moreover, albumin, triglyceride, and T4 showed an increasing propensity, but AST and total-cholesterol showed a decreasing propensity, but not significant. Regarding the variation of bone, femur weight and ash content of tibia, the Lycii Fructus group was increased compared to the control group but significance wasn't shown. The Lycii Fructus group increased significantly over the control group in area and thickness of trabecular bone and osteoclast number. Conclusions: From the results of the above study, Lycii Fructus should be effective for osteoporosis treatment and prevention.

골다공증이란 골량의 감소에 의해 야기되며. 해면골 미세구조의 골밀도가 감소하는 질병이다. 약물치료(부갑상선 호르몬)법은 골소주의 두께 및 골의 강도를 어느 정도 증가시킬 수 있는 호르몬 치료법이다. 척추성형술은 골다공성 척추 압박 골절의 치료를 위하여 척추 해면골에 주사기를 통하여 골 시멘트를 주입하는 최소 침습적 수술법이다. 임상적으로 골 시멘트의 물성치에 영향을 미치더라도 점성 감소와 주입 시간 확보를 위해 중합비율을 변경하여 사용한다. 본 연구의 목적은 골 시멘트 중합비율 변경에 따른 척추 해면골의 역학적 특성을 알아보고자 한다. 본 논문에서 는 수정된 보로노이 도형을 이용하여 척추 해면골의 유한요소 모델을 생성하고, 골 시멘트의 중합비율(0.40~l.07$m\ell$/g)에 따른 척추 해면골의 강도회복 정도를 비교하였다. 또한 골다공증 치료에서 호르몬 치료와 골 시멘트 치료의 상대적인 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과 골 시멘트 치료모델의 탄성계수와 강도는 정상 상태의 약 50%로 회복되었으며, 이 값은 호르몬 치료 모델의 약 2배이다. 0.53$m\ell$/g의 중합비율에서 골 시멘트의 탄성계수와 강도가 최고이며 1.07$m\ell$/g의 중합비율에서 최소의 탄성계수와 강도(각각 42%와 49%)이지만 약물 치료보다는 더 효과적임을 알 수 있다. 척추성형술시 제작사에서 추천하는 중합비율과 다른 비율을 사용할 경우 골 시멘트의 물성치 감소뿐만 아니라 환자의 골 밀도에 따라서 해면골의 강도회복에 문제가 발생할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study was aimed at elucidating the pathogenesis of talar osteochondral lesion by analyzing the histopathological findings. Materials and Methods: Twenty specimens from 20 patients who underwent surgical treatment for talus osteochondral lesions were studied. Preoperative MRI images including T1, T2, and stir images were taken and cases were classified according to modification of the Anderson's classification. There were 5 cases of MRI group 1, 6 cases of group 2, 7 cases of group 3 and 2 cases of group 4. A full thickness osteochondral plug including the osteochondral lesion of the talus was harvested from each patient and reviewed histopathologic changes of osteochondral fragment using H-E staining. Mean diameter of specimens was 8.5 mm and mean depth was 10.3 mm. Pathologic changes of articular cartilage and subchondral bone were observed. Subchondral bone was divided into superficial, middle and deep zones according to depth. Cartilage formation, trabecular thickening and marrow fibrosis were observed in each zone. Results: There were detachment of the joint cartilage at the tidemark in 16 cases of 20 cases and the separated cartilages were almost necrotic on the histopathologic findings. Cartilage formation within subchondral bone was discovered beneath the tidemark in 12 cases. Trabeculae were increased and thickened in 17 cases. These pathologic changes were similar to fracture healing process and these findings were more conspicuous near the tidemark and showed transition to normal bone marrow tissue with depth. No correlation between the pathological progression and MRI stages was found. A large cyst shown on MRI's was microscopically turned out to be multiple micro-cysts accompanied by fibrovascular structure and newly formed cartilage tissue. Conclusion: The histopathologic findings of osteochondral lesions are detachment of overlying cartilage at the tidemark and subsequent changes of subchondral bone. Subchondral bone changes are summarized as cartilage formation, marrow fibrosis and trabecular thickening that mean healing process following repeated micro fractures of trabecular. These osteochondral lesions should have differed from osteochondral fractures.

Purpose: This study was performed to introduce an in vivo hybrid multimodality technique involving the coregistration of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) to concomitantly visualize and quantify mineralization and vascularization at follow-up in a rat model. Materials and Methods: Three adult female rats were randomly assigned as test subjects, with 1 rat serving as a control subject. For 20 weeks, the test rats received a weekly intravenous injection of 30 ㎍/kg zoledronic acid, and the control rat was administered a similar dose of normal saline. Bilateral extraction of the lower first and second molars was performed after 10 weeks. All rats were scanned once every 4 weeks with both micro-CT and HR-MRI. Micro-CT and HR-MRI images were registered and fused in the same 3-dimensional region to quantify blood flow velocity and trabecular bone thickness at T0 (baseline), T4 (4 weeks), T8 (8 weeks), T12 (12 weeks), T16 (16 weeks), and T20 (20 weeks). Histological assessment was the gold standard with which the findings were compared. Results: The histomorphometric images at T20 aligned with the HR-MRI findings, with both test and control rats demonstrating reduced trabecular bone vasculature and blood vessel density. The micro-CT findings were also consistent with the histomorphometric changes, which revealed that the test rats had thicker trabecular bone and smaller marrow spaces than the control rat. Conclusion: The combination of micro-CT and HR-MRI may be considered a powerful non-invasive novel technique for the longitudinal quantification of localized mineralization and vascularization.

현재 골다공증 진단을 위하여 임상에서 이용되고 있는 정량적 초음파 기술은 종골(발뒤꿈치뼈)에서 음속(speed of sound; SOS) 및 광대역 초음파 감쇠(normalized broadband ultrasound attenuation; nBUA)와 같은 초음파 변수를 측정한다. 본 연구에서는 소 대퇴골로부터 제작된 20개의 해면질골 샘플을 이용하여 골절 위험도가 높은 대퇴골에서 SOS 및 nBUA의 골밀도에 대한 의존성을 살펴보았다. 대퇴골 해면질골 샘플의 SOS 및 nBUA는 1.0 MHz의 중심주파수를 갖는 한 쌍의 초음파 트랜스듀서와 함께 투과법을 이용하여 측정 하였다. 20개의 해면질골 샘플에서 측정된 SOS 및 nBUA는 골밀도와 각각 r = 0.83 및 0.72라는 높은 Pearson 상관계수 (r)를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 SOS 및 nBUA를 독립변수로 하고, 골밀도를 종속변수로 하는 다중선형회귀분석으로부터 다중선형회귀모델의 상관계수는 r = 0.85로서 SOS 또는 nBUA 중 하나만을 독립변수로 하는 단순선형회귀모델의 상관계수보다 높게 나타났다. 이와 같이 초음파 변수와 골밀도 사이의 높은 선형적인 상관관계는 대퇴골에서 측정된 초음파 변수가 대퇴골의 골밀도를 예측하기에 충분한 지표라는 것을 의미한다.
