The present study was undertaken to determine whether treatment with genistein, the plant-derived estrogen-like compound influences agonist-induced vascular smooth muscle contraction and, if so, to investigate related mechanisms. The measurement of isometric contractions using a computerized data acquisition system was combined with molecular experiments. Genistein completely inhibited KCl-, phorbol ester-, phenylephrine-, fluoride- and thromboxane $A_2$-induced contractions. An inactive analogue, daidzein, completely inhibited only fluoride-induced contraction regardless of endothelial function, suggesting some difference between the mechanisms of RhoA/Rho-kinase activators such as fluoride and thromboxane $A_2$. Furthermore, genistein and daidzein each significantly decreased phosphorylation of MYPT1 at Thr855 had been induced by a thromboxane $A_2$ mimetic. Interestingly, iberiotoxin, a blocker of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels, did not inhibit the relaxation response to genistein or daidzein in denuded aortic rings precontracted with fluoride. In conclusion, genistein or daidzein elicit similar relaxing responses in fluoride-induced contractions, regardless of tyrosine kinase inhibition or endothelial function, and the relaxation caused by genistein or daidzein was not antagonized by large conductance $K_{Ca}$-channel inhibitors in the denuded muscle. This suggests that the RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway rather than $K^+$- channels are involved in the genistein-induced vasodilation. In addition, based on molecular and physiological results, only one vasoconstrictor fluoride seems to be a full RhoA/Rho-kinase activator; the others are partial activators.

To overcome the low reactivity and solubility of alkali metal fluorides (MFs), various types of phase transfer catalysts (PTCs) have been developed over the last decades. However, since the fluoride activated by such PTC sometimes has a strong basicity, it may cause various side reactions such as elimination reaction or hydroxylation reaction in the nucleophilic fluorination reaction. Also, they may cause separation problems in the compound purification process. In recent advanced study, various PTCs have been developed to solve these problem of conventional catalyst. In this review, we would like to introduce three kinds of novel multifunctional organic catalysts such as bis-tert-alcohol-functionalized crown-6-calix[4]arene (BACCA), easy separable pyrene-tagged ionic liquid (PIL) by reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and tri-tert-butanolamine organic catalyst.

A small cage-like molecule (2) composed of three aminomethyl pyrroles and two hexa-substituted benzenes has been prepared by reduction of its iminopyrrole analogue (1) using NaBH₄. It was revealed by ¹H NMR spectroscopic analyses that cage molecule 2 strongly binds the fluoride anion in polar DMSO-d₆ relative to CDCl₃. Compared to that of compound 1, the lowered affinity of 2 for the fluoride anion is attributable to its increased electron density resulting from the production of thesecondary amine groups.

Background: In our study, a silver diamine fluoride (SDF) compound for the treatment of dental caries was synthesized to characterize its remineralization activity upon direct application to deciduous teeth. This study aimed to use microscopic computed tomography (microCT) and nanoindentation to evaluate whether SDF composite application could effectively arrest dental caries in five exfoliated primary molars. Methods: Carious teeth were extracted and visually examined using quantitative photofluorescence devices (Qraycam and QraypenTM). After performing microCT, the SDF composite was applied to the teeth according to the manufacturer's instructions. The researchers exchanged and precipitated the irritant saliva once daily for 1 week. The teeth were sectioned longitudinally through the centers of the mesial and distal surfaces, embedded, polished, and measured using nanoindentation. Thereafter, microCT was repeated. Statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism software. Results: Following SDF composite application, a remineralized layer was observed on microCT images, and the hardness increased when measured using nanoindentation. We found that demineralized enamel presented with an increased number of irregular crystals in the deep carious lesion group compared with those in the shallow carious lesion group, resulting in a rougher surface. Conclusion: The SDF composite may be used for remineralization of early caries and cessation of advanced caries in primary molars.

This study was designed to determine the most effective concentration of fluoride and levels of laser irradiation for the remineralization of decayed teeth. After irradiation with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser and the topical application of fluoride, phosphate and fluoride concentration in enamel were measured. And then the changes on surface enamel using an scanning electron microscope were observed. Samples by extraction healthy, permanent, mandibular bovine teeth with no caries were obtained. Among them 371 healthy samples were selected and artificial carious lesions were made. 20 samples were assigned to each experimental group. After irradiation with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser with total energy densities of 10J/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 20J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for each group. On the teeth, 2% NaF, 1.9% NH4F, 1.6% TiF4 Elmex gel(amine fluoride) and 1.23% APF gel were applied. After pH circulatory procedures, concentrations of fluoride with and Ionalyzer (Orion Research, Model 901, USA) and phosphates with an Uv/V is spectrophotometer (Uvikon 860, Kontrom Co, Switzerland) were measured. By etching the teeth in layers and measuring fluoride concentrations, a profile of fluoride penetration according to depth could be developed. And also the changes on the surface of the enamel using an electron scanning microscope were observed. The comparative analysis yielded the following results : 1. Phosphate concentration was low in all groups compared with the control group except for teeth treated Elmex gel, irradiated with 10J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 30J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ energy densities. Teeth treated with APF gel and 30J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ irradiation gad the lowest phosphate concentration. 2. Among all groups, fluoride concentrations in tooth enamel were highest in APF gel and NaF groups irradiated at 30J/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The APF gel group had the highest fluoride concentrations across all energy densities. 3. In the APF gel group, and the NaF group, the greater the energy density of the laser, the higher the fluoride concentrations in the enamel. 4. In all groups, the concentration of fluoride in the enamel by depth tended to decrease with depth. 5. Under the scanning electron microscope, under the condition of irradiation with 20J/$\textrm{cm}^2$, enamel crack was detected for the first time. In the NH4F group, spherical deposits were found on the surface of the enamel, and in the TiF4 group the surface of enamel was covered with an irregular, thin membranous mass in places. In the APF gel and NaF groups irradiated with 10J/$\textrm{cm}^2$, spherical and irregular particles covered the teeth. When these groups were irradiated at 20J/cm2, they were covered with amorphous crystals. These results suggest that one could obtain more effective anticariogenic effects without damage to teeth when less than 20J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ energy densities and APF gel are used.

The purpose of this study is to observe the corrosion characteristics of five dental amalgams(CAULK FINE CUT, OPTALLOY II, DISPERSALLOY, TYTIN, and VALIANT) in the solutions with fluoride compound through the anodic polarization curve obtained by using a potentiostat. After each amalgam alloy and Hg being triturated, the triturated mass was inserted into the cylindrical metal mold, and condensed by hydraulic pressure(160 kg/$cm^2$). Each specimen was removed from the metal mold. Specimens were polished with the silicone carbide grinding paper 24 hours after condensation and stored at room temperature for 1 week. The anodic polarization curves were employed to compare the corrosion behaviours of the amalgams in 0.9 % saline solution and in the saline solutions with 2.2 ppm, 0.05 %, 2 % NaF, and 8 % $SnF_2$ at $37^{\circ}C$ with 3-electrode potentiostat. After the immersion of specimen in electrolyte for 30 minutes, the potential scan was begun. The potential scan range was -1500m V to + 800m V(vs. S.C.E.) in the working electrode and the scan rate was 50 mV/sec. The results were as follows, 1. The corrosion potential, the potential of anodic current peak, and transpassive potential in the saline solutions with NaF shifted to lower direction than those in normal saline solution, and the current density in the saline solutions with NaF was higher than that in normal saline solution. The differences were increased as the concentrations of NaF became higher. 2. The corrosion potential and transpassive potential in the saline solution with $SnF_2$ shifted to higher direction than those in normal saline solution, and the current density in the saline solution with $SnF_2$ was higher than that in normal saline solution after the corrosion potential. The anodic polarization curves in the saline solution with $SnF_2$ had no outstanding anodic current peak. 3. The corrosion potentials for high-copper amalgams were much higher than those for CAULK FINE CUT and OPTALLOY II in normal saline solution, but, as the concentrations of fluoride compound became higher, the differences in corrosion potentials between them were decreased. The corrosion potentials had the similarity in the saline solution with 2% NaF or 8% $SnF_2$. 4. The current density for TYTIN was the lowest among the others in normal saline solution and in the saline solution with 2.2 ppm or 0.05 % NaF. 5. There was no significant difference in current density between Pd-enriched VALIANT and other high-copper amalgams.

목적: Tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) salts를 비롯한 지용성 양이온들은 혈장 및 미토콘드리아막을 쉽게 통과할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 미토콘드리아 내의 음 전압에 이끌려 미토콘드리아의 내부에 직접적으로 섭취된다. 또한 tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) salts는 암세포에 직접적으로 섭취될 뿐 아니라 미토콘드리아의 활동이 활발한 심근에서도 직접적 섭취가 일어나는 것으로 보고되어 있다. 따라서 이러한 특징을 가지는 tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) salts에 $[^{18}F]$fluoride를 표지 할 수 있다면 암의 진단 및 미토콘드리아의 기능에 대해 연구 할 수 있는 새로운 분자 영상 추적자로써 사용할 수 있을 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 기준 물질인 (4-fluorophenyl)triphenylphosphonium (TPP)을 단일 반응으로 합성 하였으며, $[^{18}F]$이 표지된 TPP는 무담체$[^{18}F]$fluoride와 전구체인 4-iodophenyltrimethylammonium iodide를 이용하여 Kryptofix-2.2.2와 $K_2CO_3$존재 하에 두 단계의 반응으로 합성하였다. 결과: 기준물질인 (4-fluorophenyl) triphenylphosphonium (TPP)은 60%의 수율로 합성 되었으며, 표지 화합물인 $[^{18}F]$TPP의 방사 화학적 수율은 10-15%였다. 또한 radio TLC로 확인한 방사 화학적 순도는 $95.57{\pm}0.51%$ (n=11)이었다. 결론: 미토콘드리아의 막전위 차를 이용한 암 또는 심근 영상제제인 (4-$[^{18}F]$fluorophenyl) triphenylphosphonium의 합성에 성공하였다. 하지만 전임상, 임상에의 응용을 위해서는 방사화학적 수율을 더 개선시켜야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the solubility of enamel and dentin to an etchant after fluoride application. Specimens were collected from extracted anterior and bicuspid and each tooth was cut into several pieces. These specimen were allocated in 7 group; 1%, 2%, 3% NaF, 1%, 8%, 20% $SnF_2$, and control group. Five specimens in each group was exposed to pre-determined fluoride solution for 3 minutes, and washed with running water. These specimens were etched by Hipol (commercial label) etchant for 30 seconds. Following are the findings obtained through S.E.M. 1. All specimens with acid etching revealed preferential removal of prism periphery leaving prism core. 2. Specimens treated with 1%, 2% NaF solution showed that the shape of prism tip was thin and sharp like a needle. The case of 3% NaF showed rather round shape at prism end. 3.1% of $SnF_2$ case showed similar findings with the control group but 8% and 20% $SnF_2$ case revealed needle shape at the prism and was less clear than NaF case. Preferential removal of prism periphery was partialy observed and un decalcified area is fused to prism forming reidge. 4. Dentine treated by fluoride compound in low concentration showed the orifice of dentinal tubule was clearly enlarged whereas in high concentration the orifice was not widened.
