Purpose : This study was conducted to investigate the effect of pregnancy and parity on bone marrow density using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) after parturition Methods : The observation cases who was over 20 and under 35 years old just after childbirth were admitted twice to woosuk university hospital from Aug 2000 to July 2005. During the first admission period, we measured the bone marrow density(BMD) using DXA in 13th day, and when the patient came to the hospital just after childbirth again, we followed up the BMD in 13th day. The evaluation index of this report was comparison of the T-score which was about the lumbar spine(L1-L4) BMD and femur neck BMD. Results : The continuous parturition was increased the lumbar spine BMD(P<<0.05), and decreased the femur neck BMD but it had no meaning. In the cases of the parturition interval under 24 months regarded as siblings born within a year of each other, the analysis results of BMD showed increase in lumbar spine BMD. In the cases of the parturition interval over 24 months, there was increased in lumbar BMD, and decreased in femur neck BMD. To the analysis of the weight variation, the increased BMI group has a significant increase in lumbar spine BMD, and the decreased BMI group also increase in lumbar spine BMD but there was no meaning about that. Conclusion : The continuous parturition was increased the lumbar spine BMD.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine Bone Marrow Density (BMD) of women suffering from general pain after childbirth. Methods: We studied 18 patients visiting $\bigcirc\bigcirc$hospital from March 2007 to May 2010. The subjects were categorized in two groups, symptom group(n=12) and no symptom group(n=6). We measured BMD using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) and studied the difference of BMD between two groups by Student T-test using SPSS for windows(version 13.0). Results: The general characteristics such as age, days of postpartum, primiparity, cesarean section, breast-feeding of two groups were not different statistically. BMD, T-score and Z-score of symptom group were statistically lower than no symptom group. Conclusion: The results suggest that women suffering from general pain after childbirth shows low BMD, T-score and Z-score. It seems to be due to the kidney deficiency after childbirth.

최근 동위원소를 이용한 뼈 스캔 (Bone Scan)검사 후 골밀도 (BMD; Bone Mineral Density)검사를 당일검사로 병행한 경우 이로 인한 골밀도 측정값에 오차 발생 가능성이 제기되고 있으나 방사성의약품 표지화합물 투여 후 이중에너지 X선을 이용한 골밀도 측정값 변화에 대한 임상적 자료가 미비하여 핵의학 체내검사 후 당일 골다공증 검사의 측정값에 대한 논란의 소지가 있다. 따라서 동위원소 표지화합물인 $^{99m}Tc-MDP$가 골밀도 측정값에 영향을 미치는지 임상적 측면에서 실험하였다. 실험에 참가한 대상자의 평균 나이는 $35.17{\pm}9.45$세로 실험 대상자 17명 중 대사성 질환과 골밀도 측정에 영향을 줄 수 있는 허리뼈 압박골절 및 몸쪽 넓적다리뼈 골절이 있는 자를 제외한 12명 중 정상 골밀도 T-scores>-1.0의 환자 6명을 대상으로 $^{99m}Tc-MDP$ 투여 전 후 측정값을 분석한 결과 허리뼈에서 전 후 각각 평균 $0.975{\pm}0.084g/cm^2$, $0.966{\pm}0.078g/cm^2$으로 $0.009g/cm^2$ 증가, 우측 몸쪽 넓적다리뼈에서는 전 후 각각 평균 $0.909{\pm}0.078g/cm^2$, $0.913{\pm}0.086g/cm^2$으로 $0.004g/cm^2$ 감소, 좌측 몸쪽 넓적다리뼈에서는 각각 평균 $0.887{\pm}0.099g/cm^2$, $0.881{\pm}0.103g/cm^2$으로 $0.007g/cm^2$의 증가를 보여 몸쪽 넓적다리뼈 보다 허리뼈에서 더 큰 골밀도 변화를 보여주었다. 그러나 허리뼈와 몸쪽 넓적다리뼈 전체에서 전 후 변화 평균은 $0.0038{\pm}0.014g/cm^2$으로 골밀도 측정값에 유의한 영향이 없음을 알 수 있으며, 또한 두 실험간 전체 상관계수는 0.987으로 방사성동위원소 표지화합물인 $^{99m}Tc-MDP$ 투여가 골밀도 측정값에 영향을 주지 않았다. 따라서 140 keV의 감마선 에너지를 방출하는 테크네슘 표지화합물을 이용한 뼈 스캔검사 후 골밀도 측정값에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인하였다. 그러나 핵의학적 체내검사와 골다공증 검사를 당일로 검사함으로 인한 환자의 피폭을 고려한다면 시간 간격을 두고 검사를 시행하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다.

The medicines for treating osteoporosis currently in use have minor to severe side effects, and can be financially burdensome. Thus, there is a need for prevention and alternative supplement that is relatively inexpensive, and can be easily consumed daily as an alternative dietary therapy. In this study, bone marrow density of the spine and femur of osteoporosis patients were checked before and after consuming complex composed of calcium and magnesium, considered to be the core of bone mineral content. November 2017-November 2021, patients with T-score of less than -2.5 or -1.0 < T-score < -2.5 with history of fractures or recent fractures were enrolled. The data of 60 patients who orally administered Ionized Cal/Mag^TM Complex were reviewed retrospectively, and it was significantly confirmed that the average value of T-score was up-regulated by 0.5. Additionally, the cumulative dose was observed to have a positive effect, on the improvement of BMD in the 2nd Lumbar and Femur neck. It is expected that better results will be achieved if use of the supplement is continued.

Purpose: Alveolar bone grafting has become an essential process in the treatmemt of alveolar cleft patient for stabilization of the maxillary arch, elimination of oronasal fistula, the reconstruction of the soft tissue nasal base support, and creation of bony support for tooth eruption for implant. The use of Autologous iliac cancellous bone is preferable because of the adequate quantity and high osteoinductive potential. However, even with iliac bone, insufficient osteoregeneration and absorption occur due to several factors such as the patient's age, cleft width, functional stress, and others. In order to increase osteoregeneration where the iliac bone is placed, the present study is associated with bone marrow aspirate (BMA). The experimental study evaluated the efficacy of osteoregeneration in normal cleft rabbits when alveolar bone grafting was performed with autologous iliac corticocancellous bone. Methods: Twenty - four New Zealand White rabbits were divided randomly into 2 groups (BMA, control). All animals underwent harvesting of corticocancellous bone graft from the right posterior iliac crest via standard surgical technique. $1m{\ell}$ of BMA were obtained by scraping the needle and aspirate with $10m{\ell}$ syringe from the contralateral iliac bone wall. The muco - periosteal flap on the palate was elevated. A mixture of Equal bone's volumes with BMA and saline as its control was inserted into the cleft. Animals were sacrificed at 2, 4, and 8 weeks and maxilla was harvested for dental peri - apical X-ray, bone matrix density (BMD),and histologic analysis. Result: BMD of regenerated bone to the cleft in the rabbits was higher than that of the control rabbits. X-ray, histologic analysis showed that increased osteoregeneration and low absorption rate were observed in the BMA group. Conclusion: Our experimental study showed BMA enhanced the osteoregeneration and survival rate of alveolar bone grafting. BMA is easy to extract & cost - time effective. So it can be an effective enhancers for bone grafting mixtures.

The purpose of this study was to develop the educational program based on the self-efficacy theory of Bandura(1986) and to identify the effect of the program among women. For this purpose a non-equivalent control group, and a pretest- posttest design was used between the experimental and the control group. The subjects in this study were female and were over the age 40, 37 in the experimental group and 46 in the control group. In this study, the educational program was developed to increase the level of osteoporosis self efficacy and to prevent osteoporosis. The program consisted of watching, videotapes, telephone contact, lectures, and small group discussions. This study was conducted to determine whether the 6 month educational program would increase osteoporosis self- efficacy, thus modifying life styles related to osteoporosis increas BMD. The instruments utilized in this study were the Lifestyle Questionnaire, and the Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy Scale. Also, bone marrow density (BMD) on the left wrist was measured by DTX-200. The findings are as follows: 1. A significant decrease in BMD was observed in the control group. By contrast, no significant change in BMD was observed in the experimental group. 2. The Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy was not significantly changed in both the experimental and control groups. 3. In the experimental group, the number of exercise participants and their exercise times were significantly increased. Also the amount of caffeine intake was significantly decreased.

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.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the life style, self-efficacy, and Bone Marrow Density (BMD) in osteoporosis female patients. The subjects were recruited at the four Osteoporosis Clinics. A convenience sample of 190 women completed a survey instrument which included the Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Life Style Questionnaire and demographic items. BMD of L$_4$ was measured by Dual Photon Absor photiometry. The sample ranged in age from 40 to 82 years (Mean＝60.28). Eighty-one percent were married and 14.9% were widowed. Forty-four percent lived with their spouse and children. Excercise, diet, medication, alcohol consumption, and smoking were measured to investigate the life style. Fifty-seven percent of the subjects exercised regularly. Mountain climbing, brisk walking, and free gymnastics were frequently cited excercises by the subjects in this study. Sixty percent drank one cup of milk and 34.7% had 1.13 cups of coffee in a day. Thirty-nine percent used calcium supplements, 9.5% drank alcohol, and 3.2% smoked cigarettes. Economic status and education level were related to self-efficacy. Age, economic status, and education level were related to BMD. As a life style, exercise, diet(milk, ice cream, and coffee), and medication(calcium) were associated with self-efficacy. The subjects who exercised regularly and took calcium supplements for a longer time had a higher level of self-efficacy than those who did not. Smoking and alcohol consumption had no relationship with self-efficacy. Excercise, medication(calcium), and alcohol consumption were related to BMD. The subjects who took calcium supplements for a longer time had a higher level of BMD. Alcohol consumption was not related to self-efficacy but related to BMD. The subject who drank alcohol had a higher level of BMD than those who did not drink. The amount of alcohol consumption was positively related to BMD.
