To investigate the effects of the exogenous N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ supply level on the nitrate assimilation and growth during the vegetative growth stage, and on the accumulation of organic reserves during the successive regrowth period, dry matter (DM), the amount of nitrogenous compounds, total N and starch in alfalfa plants grown hydroponically with 0.2, 1.0 and 3.0 mM KN $O_3$ was estimated, respectively, during vegetative growth period and two cycle of regrowth. When compared with DMs and N contents in various N compounds in the organs grown with 1.0 mM N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , N starvation symptoms were found in 0.2 mM and a depressive effect was observed in 3.0 mM after 10 weeks of vegetative growth. Total starch content in root system gown with 0.2, 1.0 and 3.0 mM N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ during the first regrowth was 50.96, 15.47 and 6.37 mg plant$^{-1}$, respectively. Starch was contained mainly in taproots. The starch content was not significantly changed by 24 days of the second regrowth with 1.0 mM N $H_4$N0$_3$. Total nitrogen content in root system grown with 0.2, 1.0 and 3.0 mM N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ during the first regrowth was 6.66, 8.43 and 11.09 mg plant$^{-1}$ , respectively. Nitrogen was contained mainly in lateral roots; 80% (in 0.2 mM), 74% (1.0 mM) and 76% (3.0 mM) of total nitrogen in root system. Total N content in root system at the end of the second regrowth also closely affected by the N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ supply level during the first regrowth. These results suggest that the level of N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ may strongly influence the accumulation of organic reserves in root system, and that the initial level of organic reserves for the successive regrowth was one of the determinants for shoot regrowth.

다양한 생체 재료들을 이용한 마이크로 및 나노 크기의 표면 구조 모사는 조직공학에서 세포의 성장 및 분화에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히, 마이크로-나노 구조가 공존하는 계층적 표면 구조는 골 아세포의 증식과 분화에 탁월하여 뼈 조직 재생에 응용되어 왔다. 기존에는 화학적 처리 기법을 이용하여 마이크로 표면 구조가 제작 되었으나 미세 거칠기 및 계층적 표면 구조의 제어가 어려웠다. 현재 이러한 문제점들을 극복하기 위해 플라즈마를 이용한 애칭 기법이 주로 이용되고 있으나 높은 온도 공정 환경에 의한 재료 선택의 한계점 및 오랜 공정 시간에 의한 플라즈마 처리 효율이 감소되어 원하는 표면구조 및 거칠기를 얻을 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점들을 극복하기 위해 마이크로/나노 주조 기법 이용하여 생체적합성 합성고분자 poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) (PCL) 위에 연꽃잎 구조를 모사한 후 플라즈마 애칭 기법을 이용하여 마이크로-($3.01-3.07{\mu}m$)와 나노크기 ($97{\pm}16nm$)를 동시에 갖는 계층적 구조를 제작하였다. 제작된 구조의 효능을 관찰하기 위해 조골세포를 배양한 결과 평평한 PCL 구조보다 제작된 계층적 구조가 높은 세포성장률 (>2.9배)및 세포 분화도(>2.1배)를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 새로운 표면 공학적 모델로서 손상된 뼈 및 치아조직 재생을 위한 적합한 거칠기 및 표면적인 환경을 제공해 빠른 재생 능력과 더불어 치료기간의 단축을 가져 올 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is the regeneration of supporting tissues. It is recommended to avoid probing until 6~9 months following the regenerative therapy because the probing may jeopardize the newly formed tissues. We can measure tooth mobility objectively using Periotest. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Periotest can be used to evaluate the treatment results alternatively, and whether there are the correlations between the changes of Periotest value (PTV) and other clinical parameters. Regenerative treatments have been performed on 29 teeth of twenty five patients, at Department of Periodontology, Pusan National University Hospital. We measured the tooth mobility by Periotest and other parameters at the baseline, 6 and 12 months after regenerative treatment. Compared to the baseline, there were the statistically significant improvements in all the parameters at 6 months and 12 months. There were statistically significant correlations among the probing depth, attachment level, gingival recession and PTV at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Also there was the correlation between changes in PTV and in the attachment level at each time of observation period. We may conclude that regenerative therapy would improve the clinical parameters and periodontal status and PTV would be an alternative index to evaluate the healing process after regenerative surgery.

New techniques for regenerating the destructed periodontal tissue have been studied for many years. Current acceptable methods of promoting periodontal regeneration alre basis of removal of diseased soft tissue, root treatment, guided tissue regeneration, graft materials, biological mediators. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one of polypeptide growth factor. PDGF have been reported as a biological mediator which regulate activities of wound healing progress including cell proliferation, migration, and metabolism. The purposes of this study is to evaluate the possibility of using the PDGF as a regeneration promoting agent for furcation involvement defect. Eight adult mongrel dogs were used in this experiment. The dogs were anesthetized with Pentobarbital Sodium (25-30 mg/kg of body weight, Tokyo chemical Co., Japan) and conventional periodontal prophylaxis were performed with ultrasonic scaler. With intrasulcular and crestal incision, mucoperiosteal flap was elevated. Following decortication with 1/2 high speed round bur, degree III furcation defect was made on mandibular second(P2) and fourth(P4) premolar. For the basic treatment of root surface, fully saturated citric acid was applied on the exposed root surface for 3 minutes. On the right P4 20ug of human recombinant PDGF-BB dissolved in acetic acid was applied with polypropylene autopipette. On the left P2 and right P2 PDGF-BB was applied after insertion of ${\beta}-Tricalcium$ phosphate(TCP) and collagen (Collatape) respectively. Left mandibular P4 was used as control. Systemic antibiotics (Penicillin-G benzathine and penicillin-G procaine, 1 ml per 10-25 1bs body weight) were administrated intramuscular for 2 weeks after surgery. Irrigation with 0.1% Chlorhexidine Gluconate around operated sites was performed during the whole experimental period except one day immediate after surgery. Soft diets were fed through the whole experiment period. After 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks, the animals were sacrificed by perfusion technique. Tissue block was excised including the tooth and prepared for light microscope with H-E staining. At 2 weeks after surgery, therer were rapid osteogenesis phenomenon on the defected area of the PDGF only treated group and early trabeculation pattern was made with new osteoid tissue produced by activated osteoblast. Bone formation was almost completed to the fornix of furcation by 8 weeks after surgery. New cementum fromation was observed from 2 weeks after surgery, and the thickness was increased until 8 weeks with typical Sharpey’s fibers reembedded into new bone and cementum. In both PDGF-BB with TCP group and PDGF-BB with Collagen group, regeneration process including new bone and new cementum formation and the group especially in the early weeks. It might be thought that the migration of actively proliferating cells was prohibited by the graft materials. In conclusion, platelet-derived growth factor can promote rapid osteogenesis during early stage of periodontal tissue regeneration.

Calcium phosphates are very interesting materials for use as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. These materials include hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP), which are inorganic components of human bone tissue and are both biocompatible and osteoconductive. Although these materials have excellent properties for use as bone scaffolds, many researchers have used these materials as additives to synthetic polymer scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration, because they are difficult to manufacture three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds. In this study, we fabricated 3D calcium phosphate scaffolds with the desired inner and outer architectures using solid freeform fabrication technology. To fabricate the scaffold, the sintering behavior was evaluated for various sintering temperatures and slurry concentrations. After the fabrication of the calcium phosphate scaffolds, in-vitro cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation tests were carried out.
