치아 우식증은 구강 영역에서 가장 흔한 질환이나 여러 가지 복잡한 요소가 작용하기 때문에 이에 대한 발생기전과 치료법에 대해서는 완전히 이해되지 않은 상태이다. 특히 초기우식의 재광화에 있어서 pH의 영향에 대하여 논란의 여지가 있다. 본 연구에서는 유산 완충용액을 이용하여 상아질에 인공 우식을 형성하고 이때의 무기질 소실을 측정하고, 탈회된 시편을 pH가 다른 세 가지 재광화 용액 (pH 4.3, 5.0, 5.5 군)으로 재광화시켰을 때 나타나는 무기질의 침착되는 양과 침착이 일어나는 부위를 Microradiograph를 이용하여 정량적으로 비교 분석하였다. 또한 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 수산화인회석 결정의 정상 상태 탈회된 상태, 그리고 재광화가 일어났을 때의 상태를 정성적으로 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Microradiograph분석시 pH가 증가할수록 탈회된 상아질에서 재광화양이 유의차 있게 증가되는 경향을 보였고, pH가 낮아질수록 재광화가 일어나면서 더 깊게 탈회되는 양상을 보였으나, pH 5.5 군은 전반적으로 재광화가 일어나는 경 향을 보였다 (p<0.05). 2. 주사전자현미경 소견에서 상아질 우식의 재광화는, 유기기질 망을 둘러싸고 있는 수산화인회석 결정의 표면으로부터 진행되며 결국에는 탈회 시 파괴된 공간을 채워가는 양상으로 관찰되었다. 3. 재광화 5일 후 pH 4.3. 5.0군에서 무기질이 침착되어 수산화인회석결정이 정상보다 커졌으며, pH 5.5군에서 재광화된 부위의 결정은 정상으로 회복되는 양상을 보였다. 재광화 10일 후 pH 4.3, 5.0 군에서 재광화 5일 후에 정상보다 커졌던 결정들이 정상상아질의 결정 크기로 줄어들었으며 pH 5.5군에서는 결정의 크기가 2배정도 커진 경우도 관찰되었다. 본 실험의 결과에 의하면 상아질의 우식과 재광화 과정은 단순한 탈회와 재광화의 독립적인 과정이 아니고 동력학적으로 탈회와 재광화가 동시에 일어나는 과정이며, 이때 재광화는 기존의 수산화인회석 결정의 표면으로부터 진행되었다.

Because of differences in thoughts and ideology, our country, Korea has been deprived of national unity for some thirty years of time and tide. To achieve peaceful unification, the cultivation of national strength is of paramount importance. This national strength is also essential if Korea is to take rightful place in the international societies and to have the confidence of these societies. However, national strength can never be achieved in a short time. The fundamental elements in economic development that are directly conducive to the cultivation of national strength can be said to lie in -a stable political system, -exertion of powerful leadership, -cultivation of a spirit of diligence, self-help and cooperation, -modernization of human brain power, and -establishment of a scientific and well planned economic policy and strong enforcement of this policy. Our country, Korea, has attained brilliant economic development in the past 15 years under the strong leadership of president Park Chung Hee. However, there are still many problems to be solved. A few of them are: -housing and home problems, -increasing demand for employment, -increasing demand for staple food and -the need to improve international balance of payment. Solution of the above mentioned problems requires step by step scientific development of each sector and region of our contry. As a spearhead project in regional development, the Saemaul Campaign or new village movement can be cited. The campaign is now spreading throughout the country like a grass fire. However, such campaigns need considerable encouragement and support and the means for the desired development must be provided if the regional and sectoral development program is to sucdceed. The construction of large multipurpose dams in major river basin plays significant role in all aspects of national, regional and sectoral development. It ensures that the water resource, for which there is no substitute, is retained and utilized for irrigation of agricultural areas, production of power for industry, provision of water for domestic and industrial uses and control of river water. Water is the very essence of life and we must conserve and utilize what we have for the betterment of our peoples and their heir. The regional and social impact of construction of a large dam is enormous. It is intended to, and does, dras tically improve the "without-project" socio-economic conditions. A good example of this is the Soyanggang multipurpose dam. This project will significantly contribute to our national strength by utilizing the stored water for the benefit of human life and relief of flood and drought damages. Annual average precipitation in Korea is 1160mm, a comparatively abundant amount. The catchment areas of the Han River, Keum River, and Youngsan River are $62,755\textrm{km}^2$, accounting for 64% of the national total. Approximately 62% of the national population inhabits in this area, and 67% of the national gross product comes from the area. The annual population growth rate of the country is currently estimated at 1.7%, and every year the population growth in urban area increases at a rising rate. The population of Seoul, Pusan, and Taegu, the three major cities in Korea, is equal to one third of our national total. According to the census conducted on October 1, 1975, the population in the urban areas has increased by 384,000, whereas that in rural areas has decreased by 59,000,000 in the past five years. The composition of population between urban and rural areas varied from 41%~59% in 1959 to 48%~52% in 1975. To mitigate this treand towards concentration of population in urban areas, employment opportunities must be provided in regional and rural areas. However, heavy and chemical industries, which mitigate production and employment problems at the same time, must have abundant water and energy. Also increase in staple food production cannot be attained without water. At this point in time, when water demand is rapidly growing, it is essential for the country to provide as much a reservoir capacity as possible to capture the monsoon rainfall, which concentarated in the rainy seaon from June to Septesmber, and conserve the water for year round use. The floods, which at one time we called "the devil" have now become a source of immense benefit to Korea. Let me explain the topographic condition in Korea. In northern and eastern areas we have high mountains and rugged country. Our rivers originate in these mountains and flow in a general southerly or westerly direction throught ancient plains. These plains were formed by progressive deposition of sediments from the mountains and provide our country with large areas of fertile land, emminently suited to settlement and irrigated agricultural development. It is, therefore, quite natural that these areas should become the polar point for our regional development program. Hower, we are fortunate in that we have an additional area or areas, which can be used for agricultural production and settlement of our peoples, particularly those peoples who may be displaced by the formation of our reservoirs. I am speaking of the tidelands along the western and southern coasts. The other day the Ministry of Agriculture and Fishery informed the public of a tideland reclamation of which 400,000 hectares will be used for growing rice as part of our national food self-sufficiency programme. Now, again, we arrive at the need for water, as without it we cannot realize this ambitious programme. And again we need those dams to provide it. As I mentioned before, dams not only provide us with essential water for agriculture, domestic and industrial use, but provide us with electrical energy, as it is generally extremely economical to use the water being release for the former purposes to drive turbines and generators. At the present time we have 13 hydro-electric power plants with an installed capacity of 711,000 kilowatts equal to 16% of our national total. There are about 110 potential dams ites in the country, which could yield about 2,300,000 kilowatts of hydro-electric power. There are about 54 sites suitable for pumped storage which could produce a further 38,600,000 kilowatts of power. All available if we carefully develop our water resources. To summarize, water resource development is essential to the regional development program and the welfare of our people, it must proceed hand-in-hand with other aspects of regional development such as land impovement, high way extension, development of our forests, erosion control, and develop ment of heavy and chemical industries. Through the successful implementation of such an integrated regional development program, we can look forward to a period of national strength, and due recognition of our country by the worlds societies.
