현재까지, 식이 당의 전체적 또는 부분적 대체당으로서 자일리톨의 치아우식증에 대한 예방 효과를 확인하기 위해 많은 연구가 수행되었다. 본 총설논문에서는 자일리톨의 구강건강에 대한 기존 연구들을 바탕으로 자일리톨의 치아우식증 예방 기전, 치아우식증 예방, 치아우식증 유발균의 모자전염 예방, 노인의 구강건강에 미치는 영향 등이 정리되었다. 식품에 함유된 탄수화물 및 식이 당은 구강 내에서 산을 생성하는 미생물에 의해 발효되어 치석 및 산을 생성하여 치아우식증을 일으킨다. 그러나 충치를 일으키는 세균 대부분은 자일리톨을 대사하여 산을 만들어 낼 수 없다. Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans)에 의한 비대사성 대사물로서 세포 내에 축적된 자일리톨은 S. mutans의 성장을 억제하고 치석 형성을 억제하여 치석과 타액 중 S. mutans 수를 감소시킨다. 또한, 자일리톨은 치아의 재광화(remineralization) 과정에 작용한다. 자일리톨은 치아우식증 예방, S. mutans의 모자감염 예방, 노인의 충치예방 및 타액분비 증가에 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로, 자일리톨은 남녀노소 구분 없이 구강건강에 효과적이며 쉽게 섭취할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 향후, 자일리톨의 과량섭취에 따른 부작용과 구강 및 장내 환경에 미치는 전반적인 영향에 대한 보다 정확하고 상세한검토가 필요하다.

The egg bags of Korean salamander(Hynobius leechii) were collected from farmlands in Gyeongsangnam-do area. The assumed breeding time, numerical variation of embryos in each egg bag, mortality and the rates of abnormalities were investigated. The toxicity of benomyl, the metabolite carbendazim and BIC which were frequently spread in agricultural area and caused spontaneous embryonic malformation was investigated. The assumed breeding time between the end of February and the end of March has the difference about a month because of a habitat and it takes about 2 or 3 weeks from laying eggs to hatching. The length of each egg bag and the number of embryos were very varied in each area. It is due to geographical variation. Among egg bags in total study area, only 406 of egg bags(17.70% of total egg bags) developed all of embryos to normal larvae, and 78.49% of total embryos were normally developed. The patterns of spontaneous embryonic malformation were 26 species from A to Z and the abnormal patterns in individual were 8 species and above. the geographical differences about the abnormal pattern were identified and 11 habitats categorized 4 groups. The most frequent abnormality in Gyeongsangnam-do area is the dysplasia of external gill. The caudal dysplasia, abdominal blister and dysplasia of fin were also frequently observed. Individuals showing severe external defect were histologically studied and they showed retinal hypo-pigmentation, thyroid carcinoma, somatic muscular dysplasia, degeneration of cephalic neuron and various organ dysplasia. Benomyl and carbendazim were treated by 10pM$^{\sim}$10uM and BIC was treated by 1$^{\sim}$40ppm to know the effect of toxicity about toxic substance of salamander. After benomyl was treated, a survival rate was sharply dropped from 2 to 8 days. $LC_{100}$ identified in $1{\mu}M$, $LC_{50}$ identified between 100nM and $1{\mu}M$. $EC_{50}$ was assumed between 10nM and 100nM. The prevalent external malformation was abdomen swelled abnormally and histo-pathological effects were abdomen, neural tube and lens hernia. This suggests that benomyl is the toxicitic substance which inhibits the development of digestive system and nervous system. The result of treated carbendazim was similar to that of the treated benomyl. The survival rate is sharply dropped between 2 and 6 days. $LC_{100}$ was identified $1{\mu}M$ and $LC_{50}$ was identified between 10nM and 100nM. This shows that cabendazim has stronger lethal toxicity than benomyl. Ventral blister, eye dysplasia and cephalic dysplasia in the individual of external malformation mean that cabendazim affected nervous system much more than benomyl. Because the toxicity of BIC affected less in the beginning but affected more in the near hatching period, the period causing toxicity is somewhat different. $LC_{100}$ identified near 40ppm and $LC_{50}$ identified near 25ppm. The external defect shows mainly ventral blister and histo-pathological results show intestinal deformities. This result suggests the BIC inhibited strongly the development of digestive system. These abnormal developments may be caused by antimitotic action, inhibition of tubulin complex, destruction of microtubule, inhibitions of neurulation and closing of neural fold, and by the inhibition of movement of neural crest cells of benomyl. These abnormal developments may be caused by the rupture of epithelium, the loss of microtubule, the reduction of spindle size, the inhibition of spindle assembly formation, the destruction of spindle poles of carbendazim. These abnormal developments may be caused cytotoxicity by inhibition of the synthesis of a number of macromolecules and similar reaction the inhibition of benomyl.
