Purpose: Irradiation in the oral cancer patients causes early and late complications such as intraoral mucositis and fibrosis, with a various expression of GM-CSF and TGF-${\beta}1$. The purpose of this study was to investigate the production of GM-CSF and TGF-${\beta}1$ by the irradiated human gingival fibroblasts cultivated with lipopolysaccharide. Materials and Methods: Irradiated (total dose, 60 Gy) human gingival fibroblasts were incubated with LPS. Culture supernatants that were collected at 24, 48, and 72 hours were assessed for GM-CSF and TGF-${\beta}1$ by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: 1. GM-CSF production in nomal gingival fibroblasts was increased with incubation time, but decreased with incubation time in irradiated gingival fibroblasts. GM-CSF production in both normal and irradiated gingival fibroblasts induced with LPS was higher than the control. 2. TGF-${\beta}1$ production in normal gingival fibroblasts was decreased after 24 hours, but, it was increased until 48 hours in irradiated gingival fibroblasts. TGF-${\beta}1$ production in normal gingival fibroblasts exposed with LPS was higher than the control. Conversely, It was lower than the control in irradiated gingival fibroblasts exposed with LPS. Conclusion: This indicates that irradiation in gingival fibroblasts may play an important role in radiation-induced intraoral mucositis and fibrosis. However, LPS decreases the production of TGF-${\beta}1$ in the irradiated gingival fibroblasts.

Obstructive sialadenitis is one of common disease in salivary gland, and most common histologic features are loss of acinar cell and ductal dilatation associated with fibrosis, and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Although many experimental studies has been accomplished for the salivary acinar cell change in obstructive salivary gland disease, studies for myoepithelial cell were deficient. This study is designed for salivary gland tissue change, especially myoepithelial cell when nonspecific chronic sialadenitis or salivary duct injury by duct obstruction or cut can be occurred that is common encounted clinically. After ligation and cutting of submandibular gland of rabbit, groups of aminmal were sacrificed at 1, 2, 4 weeks postoperatively, submandibular gland were removed. The histopathologic evaluation was done with light microscopy. And, with immunohistochemical staining with ${\alpha}$-smooth muscle actin, characteristics of myoepithelial cell were examined. With transmission electron microscopy, ultrastructure of myoepithelial cell were examined for distribution and ultrastructure of myoepithelial cell. The results were obtained as follows: 1. In the histopathologic evaluation, ligation and cutting group of 1 week, linkage of myoepithelial cell associated with acinar atrophy and degeneration were disappeared in both group. 2. More prominent squamous metaplasia was seen in acinar cells of ligation group of 2 weeks experimental rabbit than cutting group. 3. Acinar cells are nearly disappeared in both ligation and cutting group of 4 weeks, and myoepithelial cell also disappeared associated with acinar cell atrophy, and duct-like structure composed by squamous cells by squamous metaplasia in acinar cells were distributed. 4. In immunohistochemical study, both ligation and cutting group ${\alpha}$-SMA distribution were diminished at 1 week experimental rabbits, but myoepithelial cell was more diminished in ligation group than cutting group, which were distributed around cells of squamous metaplasia. 5. Nuclear condensation, chromosome margination, and cytoplasmic vaculoation were appeared in myoepithelial cell of both cutting and ligation group after 1 week with transmission electron microscopy. But degenerative substance were seen in cytoplasm of myoepithelial cell of ligation group of 4 weeks. From the results obtained in this study, atrophy and degeneration of myoepithelial cell was more prominent in duct ligation group than duct cutting group, and myoepithelial cells were seen around cells squamous metaplasia of acinar cell.

Recently, an increasing number of bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw(BRONJ) is being reported. A guideline has been already established in the US, but it does not seem to be fully recognized by clinicians in Korea. Therefore, a survey study was done to inform and have clinicians realize the seriousness of BRONJ. 1,341 practitioners were randomly selected out of 13,405 practitioners(by Feb of 2008, KDA) in Korea. A questionnaire was given to them between May to July in 2008. Questions were designed to investigate each respondent's experience term years in the clinic, occupation, speciality, awareness on risk of bisphosphonate, experience on treating osteonecrosis patients, awareness about the guideline on BRONJ suggested by AAOMS and whether if they ask about bisphosphonate medication history to patients before invasive treatment. 45.1% of the clinicians have reported on experiencing delayed healing on bone exposed site after extraction both in the maxilla and the mandible. However, clinicians have asked the patients whether if they are on bisphosphonate or not in only 15.1% of these cases. 56.5% of the clinicians simply knew about BRONJ but only 28.9% of the clinicians were aware that bisphosphonate can cause osteonecrosis after invasive dental treatment. Only 19.3% knew about the contents of guideline on BRONJ and 57.2% were aware of the seriousness of BRONJ. Clinicians with shorter clinical experience term were more aware of BRONJ and the guideline on BRONJ than the experienced clinicians. But awareness of the possibility of BRONJ after invasive dental treatment were about the same regardless of their clinical experience. The results show that Korean clinicians need to be more aware about BRONJ. Data on BRONJ cases in Korea should be collected and provided with additional education to let Korean clinicians know and be more aware about BRONJ.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of mandibular midline shift and difference of mandibular height between both sides on the electromyo- graphic(EMG) activity of the masticatory muscles on clenching or gum chewing movement. For this study, 105 patients with temporomandibular disorders(TMD) were selected and panoramic radiograph were taken. Amount and side of the midline shift and height of the mandible from antegonial notch to the top of the condylar head were measured on panoramic view. $BioEMG^{(R)}$ (Bioresearch Inc., Milwaukee, USA) was used for recording of EMG activity(${\mu}V$) of the anterior temporalis and the superficial masseter on clenching or gum chewing movement. EMG activity on clenching during 533msec period were measured for activity of the starting point and the one second-after activity as the early EMG and the maximum EMG, respectively. EMG activity on gum chewing movement were measured for activity of the first and the second chewing stroke. The data collected were analysed by SPSS windows program, and the results of this study were as follows : 1. Height of the mandible was 8.06cm on right side and 8.03cm on left side, and showed no difference by age, but significantly differed by sex with higher in male subjects. 2. Mean value of the midline shift was 0.1mm with range of 0~5mm on both sides. The amount and side of the midline shift did not related with height difference of the mandible and/or the EMG activity of the masticatory muscles on clenching. 3. Prevalence of higher right side and higher left side of the mandible were almost same, and the EMG activity of higher side was not higher than that of the other side. 4. In the subjects with height difference of more than 5mm between both sides of the mandible, the early EMG activity on clenching were differed for the anterior temporalis, but the maximum activity were differed for the superficial masseter. 5. In the subjects with height difference of more than 5mm between both sides of the mandible, EMG activity of the anterior temporalis of the gum chewing side was not higher than that of the other side when chewing on the side of lower height, but in the subjects with height difference of less than 5mm, the EMG activity was higher than that of the other side.

Cytokines are hormone-like proteins which mediate and regulate inflammatory and immune responses. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is involved in the final differentiation of B cells into antibody-producing cells. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a neutrophil chemotactic factor that plays an important role in the recruitment of neutrophil to inflammatory loci. Inflammatory mediators by cells in the gingiva have been implicated in the initiation and progression of periodontitis and oral infection. The purpose of this study was conducted to investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB) on production of IL-6 and IL-8 by human gingival and facial dermal fibroblasts. Primary cultured human gingival and facial dermal fibroblasts were incubated with LPS (0.01, 0.1, $1.0{\mu}g/ml$), SEB (0.01, 0.1, $1.0{\mu}g/ml$) or LPS $(0.1{\mu}g/ml)$ plus SEB $(0.1{\mu}g/ml)$. Culture supernatants were collected at 24, 48, and 72 hrs and assessed for IL-6 and IL-8 production by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. IL-6 production in gingival fibroblasts stimulated with LPS was higher than that with SEB. IL-6 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was amplified in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. IL-6 production in facial dermal fibroblasts was increased only by stimulation with a high concentration of LPS $(1.0{\mu}g/ml)$. Its production in facial dermal fibroblasts by exposure with SEB was decreased in comparison with control, nontreated cells. Therefore, gingival fibroblasts showed higher sensitivity than facial dermal fibroblasts in response to low concentration of LPS. Also, IL-6 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was amplified in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. IL-8 production in gingival fibroblasts was enhanced greatly only by stimulation of high concentration of LPS $(1.0{\mu}g/ml)$. That by exposure with SEB was increased only in 24 hrs cultivation. IL-8 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was amplified in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. IL-8 production in facial dermal fibroblasts was decreased by LPS and increased only in 48 hrs cultivation by SEB. IL-8 production by double exposure with LPS plus SEB was enhanced only in 48 hrs cultivation in comparison with single exposure of LPS or SEB. therefore, IL-6 and IL-8 production were released at various quantities according to bacterial toxin applied and site of fibroblast harvested. These results suggest that gingival fibroblasts may be concerned with IL-6 and IL-8 related inflammatory response more than facial dermal fibroblasts.

모든 환자들은 구순접합술을 시행 받았고 구순 및 구개열 유아들은 악정형장치인 Latham을 사용하였다. 수술의 기술적 변화들은 앞서 설명하였다. Columella 부위의 높은 rotation과 releasing incision은 내측 입술 부위를 충분히 길게 해주고, advancement flap이 phitral column 상방으로 최소로 침범되게 하여 균형적인 입술을 만들 수 있다. 또한 구륜근을 외번시켜 philtral ridge를 형성하고, 작은 unilimb Z-plasty을 구순측 Cupid's bow handle 높이에 맞게 시행 후, vermilion-cutaneous junction에서부터 상방으로 cutaneous closure 시행한다. 변위된 alar cartilage는 nostril rim incision을 통해 동측 upper lateral cartilage에 매달며, Alar base는 anterior-caudal septum의 위치, sill의 설정 그리고 외측 vestibular web 제거를 포함하여 3차원적으로 설계하여 치료해야 한다. 이번에 소개한 Mulliken의 치료법이 환자들과 외과의사들에게 많은 도움이 되기를 바란다.

이 연구는 경찰사회에서의 측두장애환자의 교합상태를 평가하여 습관적인 최대교합시에 교합접촉 시기와 접촉수, 접촉힘을 분석하여 과도한 개구나 이악물기등의 악습관 교정을 제시 하는데 있다. 경찰사회에서는 일반 사회에는 다른 양상의 최대 개구, 습관적인 긴밀한 최대 교합상태 등으로 인하여 측두하악장애에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 반복적인 훈련이나 일상생활에서의 변화는 그동안 유지되어 오던 저작근을 비롯한 악구강계 평형 상태에 변화를 초래하여 측두하악관절과 그에 따른 구조물에 동통을 유발 내지는 악화 시킬 수 있다. 본 연구는 측두하악장애에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 교합상태를 조사하기 위하여 T-scan II system(Tekscan Co., USA)을 이용하였으며, 최대 교합력을 발휘하기 위하여 약 20 mm 정도의 개구 상태에서 최대교합시까지 물었다. 경찰종사자의 측두하악장애환자는 일반 측두장애환자보다 최초 접촉부터 최대 접촉까지 걸리는 시간은 오래 걸리며, 최종 접촉까지의 시간은 보다 짧았으며, 최종 교합접촉력은 더 강하여, 더 짧은 시간에 강한 힘을 유지한 채 폐구가 이루어져 측두하악관절에 더 많은 잔존한 부하를 전달하였다. 이환 측과 교합접촉 시간, 교합 접촉 힘등의 교합양상과는 관계가 미약하였으며, 최대 접촉력이 가해진 시기에서 우측이 이환 측이면 우측 악궁에, 좌측이 이환측일 경우 좌측 악궁에 집중되는 좌, 우 악궁간 불균형을 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 측두하악장애를 가진 경찰 종사자들의 하악 운동에 보다 부드러운 움직임과 습관적인 최대 교합상태에서의 보다 적은 힘을 유지해야 할 것으로 생각되어진다.

Fracture of frontal bone is infrequent, but may have serious complications because of their proximity to the brain, eyes and noses. Fractures of the frontal area range from 5% to 15% of all facial bone fracture and include supraorbital rim and frontal sinus. As frontal bone fractures most frequently occur in the multiply injured patient, a thorough clinical and radiological examination of the patient is required before diagnosis and treatment plans are established. Sometimes coorperative treatment with other department is required. It is specially considered that incision for access to frontal region and surgical methods for open reduction, cranialization, cannulization, sinus obliteration. After surgical or conservative treatment, it may have complication. Complication of frontal bone injury vary in severity and may occur at several years after the incidents. The major types of complications are those that occur directly at the time of injury, infection and chronic problems. This is clinical study on 31 patients with frontal bone fracture, at department of oral and maxillofacial surgery in dental hospital of Wonkwang university during past ten years. The results were as follows; 1. The sex ratio of all patients is 29 (94%) male to 2 (6%) female, the average age is 33 and the prominent groups are 2nd, 3rd decade age. 2. The causative factors are mostly traffic accident 22 cases (70%) and fall dawn, industrial accidents, so on. 3. The 17 cases has shown alert mental status, but neurologic problems is in 14 (45%) cases in initial accessment. 4. Associated facial bone fractures are prominent in the maxilla (42%) and panfacial fracture (39%). 5. Involved general problems are in department of neurologic surgery problems (65%), orthopaedic problems (23%) and ophthalmologic problems (19%) in order. 6. Open reduction has done in 15 cases and 16 cases with conservative management. 7. Postoperative complications are chronic headache (42%), esthetic problems (39%) and ophthalmologic problems (35%)in order.
