본 연구의 목적은 거꾸로 수업의 이점과 한계를 분석하여 실제수업 적용에 효율적인 ALP 모형을 개발하고, 그 효과를 확인하는 데 있다. 새로운 모형과 프로그램 개발 과정은 ADDIE 모형을 기초로 하였다. 먼저 거꾸로 수업의 어려움 분석과 관련된 연구들을 분석하여 새 모형의 주요 구성 요소를 추출하였고, 이 요소들을 수업의 흐름에 따라 재배치함으로써 ALP 모형을 개발하였다. 모형은 요약 강의 참여 단계(Attending a Short Lecture), 갭(gap) 이용 추가 학습 단계(Learning More in a Gap), 학생 중심 학습 수행 단계(Performing Student-centered Learning)의 3단계로 구성된다. 과학적 의사소통능력에 대한 모형의 효과를 살펴보기 위해 ALP 모형을 적용한 초등과학 프로그램을 개발하였다. 추가적인 정보를 얻기 위해서 수업에 대한 인식 조사와 실험집단 학생들 중 일부를 대상으로 면담을 진행하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 거꾸로 수업의 어려움을 분석한 논문을 살펴본 결과 수업의 흐름에 따라 다양한 종류의 어려움을 확인할 수 있었으나, 주로 사전학습과 관련된 것이었다. 이를 바탕으로 수업 구조적인 변화를 주어 사전학습의 동영상 강의 부분을 다시 교실로 가지고 오고, 자율적인 추가 학습 부분을 교실 밖에 유지하였다. 이를 통해 거꾸로 수업에서 의사소통능력 향상에 도움을 주는 학생중심학습 시간의 증대를 꾀하고, 거꾸로 수업의 사전학습에서 교사의 준비 부담과 학생의 참여 관련 어려움을 줄이고자 하였다. ALP 모형을 적용한 초등 과학 프로그램을 적용한 뒤에 과학적 의사소통능력측면의 효과를 살펴본 결과, 실험집단에서 유의한 향상이 있음을 확인하였다. 세부 결과에서는 표와 그림 형태와 주장형과 정당화 유형에서 유의한 효과를 확인하였다. 이는 학생들에게 학생중심학습의 시간과 기회를 보다 많이 제공한 결과로 볼 수 있으며, 이는 수업에 대한 인식조사나 면담에서도 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic value of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) in gallbladder cancer (GBC). Materials and Methods: Serum ALP and GGT levels and clinicopathological parameters were retrospectively evaluated in 199 GBC patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the cut-off values of ALP and GGT. Then, associations with overall survival were assessed by multivariate analysis. Based on the significant factors, a prognostic score model was established. Results: By ROC curve analysis, $ALP{\geq}210U/L$ and $GGT{\geq}43U/L$ were considered elevated. Overall survival for patients with elevated ALP and GGT was significantly worse than for patients within the normal range. Multivariate analysis showed that the elevated ALP, GGT and tumor stage were independent prognostic factors. Giving each positive factor a score of 1, we established a preoperative prognostic score model. Varied outcomes would be significantly distinguished by the different score groups. By further ROC curve analysis, the simple score showed great superiority compared with the widely used TNM staging, each of the ALP or GGT alone, or traditional tumor markers such as CEA, AFP, CA125 and CA199. Conclusions: Elevated ALP and GGT levels were risk predictors in GBC patients. Our prognostic model provides infomration on varied outcomes of patients from different score groups.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on femoral fracture healing in dogs. Eight healthy dogs from 4 to 5 $\beta^3$ were used in this experiment. In the treatment group, anode and cathode were connected to proximal and distal site apart from the fracture line by 2 cm and electrical stimulation was applied to the fracture site for l5minutes by 2 V, 25 Hz and for a month. The control group was connected to electrostimulator as the treatment group, but no electrical stimulation was applied. Various parameters were evaluated including radiograph and serum levels of total-ALP(TALP), bone-ALP(BALP) and osteocalcin. The radiography revealed more rapid callus formation in the treatment group than in the control by about a week. The total-ALP levels of the treatment group were higher than those of the control group from the 2nd to the 24th day(p< 0.05). The bone-ALP levels of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control from the 2nd to the 24th day(p< 0.05). The bone-ALP/ total-ALP ratios of the treatment group were higher than those of control throughout this experiment but there were no significance. There were no significance in the osteocalcin levels between two groups. In conclusion, the electrical stimulation on femoral fracture site was effective for bone healing in dogs.

ALP (alkaline phosphatase) is a membrane-bound metalloenzyme that is expressed in osteoblasts, hepatocytes, lung, kidney, endothelial cells, leukocytes and other cells. Normal soft tissue and skin show little tissue nonspecific ALP (TN-AP), However, scar tissue contains high levels of TN-AP activity, and in fact, TN-AP is expressed intensely in regenerating connective tissue after the wounding. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change of ALP expression in hypertrophic scar model in rabbits and the effect of triamcinonolone on ALP expression. Adult male New Zealand white rabbits, weighing about 2.5 kg, were used. After full-thickeness wounding over the ventral surface of each ear, either saline (control ear) or triamcinolone (contralateral ear) was injected on day 16. Rabbits were sacrificed on day 3, 7, 15, 17, 19, 23, and the specimens were retrieved en bloc. Histologic and immunohistochemical examinations of tissue samples were done. The results obtained were as follows: On day 3, ALP reaction was observed on fibroblasts and inflammatory cells in wound margin. On day 7, ALP reaction was more intense than day p in capillaries, inflammtory cells, and fibroblasts behind newly formed epithelium. On day 15, ALP reaction was lessened in both groups and appeared mainly in subepidermal capillary network, Since day 17, ALP reaction was lessened in both groups and weaker in triamcinolone-injected group than in saline-injected group. These results suggest that ALP reaction isn't increased in triamcinolone-injected scar and triamcinolone reduces scar not by increasing TN-AP expression but other mechanism.

Methanolic extract of Cassia tora leaves was evaluated for its hepatoprotective activity in rats by inducing hepatotoxicity with paracetamol (acute model). The extract at a dose of 400 mg/kg orally exhibited significant protective effect by lowering the serum levels of transaminase (SGOT and SGPT), bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The effects produced were comparable to that of a standard hepatoprotective agent.

Purpose: Our pilot study showed that a 3-dimensional dual drug delivery scaffold (DDDS) loaded with Chinese herbs significantly increased the regenerated bone volume fraction. This study aimed to confirm the synergistic anti-inflammatory and osteogenic preclinical effects of this system. Methods: The targets and pathways of parthenolide and naringin were predicted. Three cell models were used to assess the anti-inflammatory effects of parthenolide and the osteogenic effects of naringin. First, the distance between the cementoenamel junction and alveolar bone crest (CEJ-ABC) and the bone mineral density (BMD) of surgical defects were measured in a rat model of periodontitis with periodontal fenestration defects. Additionally, the mRNA expression levels of matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured. Furthermore, the number of inflammatory cells and osteoclasts, as well as the protein expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and levels of ALP were determined. Results: Target prediction suggested prostaglandin peroxidase synthase (PTGS2) as a potential target of parthenolide, while cytochrome P450 family 19 subfamily A1 (CYP19A1) and taste 2 receptor member 31 (TAS2R31) were potential targets of naringin. Parthenolide mainly targeted inflammation-related pathways, while naringin participated in steroid hormone synthesis and taste transduction. In vitro experiments revealed significant antiinflammatory effects of parthenolide on RAW264.7 cells, and significant osteogenic effects of naringin on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and MC3T3-E1 cells. DDDS loaded with parthenolide and naringin decreased the CEJ-ABC distance and increased BMD and ALP levels in a time-dependent manner. Inflammation was significantly alleviated after 14 days of DDDS treatment. Additionally, after 56 days, the DDDS group exhibited the highest BMD and ALP levels. Conclusions: DDDS loaded with parthenolide and naringin in a rat model achieved significant synergistic anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects, providing powerful preclinical evidence.

Yam extracts (Dioscorea batatas) have been reported to possess a variety of functions. However, studies on its osteogenic properties are limited. In this study, we investigated the effect of ethanol and water extracts on osteoblast proliferation and bone matrix protein synthesis, type I collagen and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), using osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell model. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured with yam ethanol and water extracts (0~30 mg/L) within 39 days of osteoblast differentiation period. Cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. Bone matrix proteins were assessed by the accumulation of type I collagen and ALP activity by staining the cell layers for matrix staining. Also, the secreted (media) matrix protein concentration (type I collagen) and enzyme activity (ALP) were measured colorimetrically. Yam ethanol and water extracts stimulated cell proliferation within the range of 15~30 mg/L at 15 day treatment. The accumulation of type I collagen in the extracellular matrix, as well as secreted collagen in the media, increased with increasing doses of yam ethanol (3~15 mg/L) and water (3~30 mg/L) extracts. ALP activity was not affected by yam ethanol extracts. Our results demonstrated that yam extracts stimulated osteoblast proliferation and enhanced the accumulation of the collagenous bone matrix protein type I collagen in the extracellular matrix. These results suggest that yam extracts may be a potential activator for bone formation by increasing osteoblast proliferation and increasing bone matrix protein type I collagen. Before confirming the osteogenic action of yam, further studies for clarifying how and whereby yam extracts can stimulate this ostegenesis action are required.

Osteoporosis is characterized by bone loss and mobidity with osteoporotic fracture. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of on the bone mass and its related factors in estrogen-deficient animal model. The model rats of osteoporsis showed a significant decrease in bone density, bone ash density, calcium content of femur bone. At the 14th day after ovariectomy-surgery, rats were administered with DBE, extract of Dioscorea batatas, per orally, and continued for 10 weeks. And osteoporosis related parameters were determined to investigate the effect of DBE. Osteoporetic rats showed lower serum estrogen level, higher body weight than normal rats, and showed atrophy of uterine horns. DBE showed inhibitory effect on bone loss in osteoporetic condition, and reduced the increase of ALP activity and osteocalcin level in serum, and reduced the increase of OH-proline level in urine. But, DBE had no effect on cell proliferation and ALP activity in rat calvarial cell culture.

Dovitinib (TKI258) is a small molecule multi-kinase inhibitor currently in clinical phase I/II/III development for the treatment of various types of cancers. This drug has a safe and effective pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile. Although dovitinib can bind several kinases at nanomolar concentrations, there are no reports relating to osteoporosis or osteoblast differentiation. Herein, we investigated the effect of dovitinib on human recombinant bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2-induced osteoblast differentiation in a cell culture model. Dovitinib enhanced the BMP-2-induced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) induction, which is a representative marker of osteoblast differentiation. Dovitinib also stimulated the translocation of phosphorylated Smad1/5/8 into the nucleus and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases, including ERK1/2 and p38. In addition, the mRNA expression of BMP-4, BMP-7, ALP, and OCN increased with dovitinib treatment. Our results suggest that dovitinib has a potent stimulating effect on BMP-2-induced osteoblast differentiation and this existing drug has potential for repositioning in the treatment of bone-related disorders.

치아 치수 세포는 치아 손상에 따르는 병리적인 상황에서 골과 상아질 기질을 형성하는 능력을 가진 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 MTA가 사람 치수세포의 성장에 미치는 영향과 상아질 형성에 관여하는 유전자의 발현을 유도하는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 또한 상아질 형성의 잠재적 지표인 alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 유전자 발현 검사를 위해 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, type I collagen, alkaline phosphatase, osteonectin(SPARC), and dentin sialoprotein primer set을 이용하여 MTA 처리 2일과 4일 후 reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)을 시행하였다. cell viability assay(세포 생존력 측정) 에서 5일간 MTA에 노출된 치수 세포의 비율이 대조군보다 높았다. 대조군에 비해 MTA를 처리한 군에서 ALP와 SPARC가 증가되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면, 이 연구에 사용한 dental pulp culture system은 MTA를 포함한 치과재료의 처리 후 치수세포의 성장과 분화 그리고 상아질 형성 유도 기전을 연구하는 데 유용한 모델로 사용할 수 있다. MTA 처리는 사람 치수세포에 세포독성을 유도하지 않으며, ALP 활성도와 유전자 발현 그리고 osteonectin (SPARC) 유전자 발현을 증가시켜 수복상아질을 형성할 것으로 사료된다.
