Autogenous bone grafts have been considered the gold standard for maxillofacial bony defects. However, this procedure could entail a complicated surgical procedure as well as potential donor site morbidity. Possibly the best solution for bone-defect regeneration is a tissue engineering approach, i.e. the use of a combination of a suitable scaffold with osteogenic cells. A major source of osteogenic cells is the bone marrow. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent and have the ability to differentiate into osteoblastic, chondrocytic, and adipocytic lineage cells. However, the isolation of cells from bone marrow has someproblems when used in clinical setting. Bone marrow aspiration is sometimes potentially more invasive and painful procedure and carries of a risk of morbidity and infection. A minimally invasive, easily accessible alternative would be cells derived from periosteum. The periosteum also contains multipotent cells that have the potential to differentiate into osteoblasts and chondrocytes. In the present study, we evaluated the osteogenic activity and mineralization of cultured human periosteal-derived cells. Periosteal explants were harvested from mandibule during surgical extraction of lower impacted third molar. The periosteal cells were cultured in the osteogenic inductive medium consisting of DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 50g/ml L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, 10 nmol dexamethasone and 10 mM -glycerophosphate for 42 days. Periosteal-derived cells showed positive alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining during 42 days of culture period. The formation of ALP stain showed its maximal manifestation at day 14 of culture period, then decreased in intensity during the culture period. ALP mRNA expression increased up to day 14 with a decrease thereafter. Osteocalcin mRNA expression appeared at day 7 in culture, after that its expression continuously increased in a time-dependent manner up to the entire duration of culture. Von Kossa-positive mineralization nodules were first present at day 14 in culture followed by an increased number of positive nodules during the entire duration of the culture period. In conclusion, our study showed that cultured human periosteal-derived cells differentiated into active osteoblastic cells that were involved in synthesis of bone matrix and the subsequent mineralization of the matrix. As the periosteal-derived cells, easily harvested from intraoral procedure such as surgical extraction of impacted third molar, has the excellent potential of osteogenic capacity, tissue-engineered bone using periosteal-derived cells could be the best choice in reconstruction of maxillofacial bony defects.

본 연구는 백한우 개체 1두에서 성판별된 정자를 제조하고 원하는 성을 가진 후대를 생산하고자 인공수정을 실시하였다. 채정이 가능한 백한우 종모우 1두를 선발하고, 정자 성 분리 전용 유세포 분리기인 MoFlo XDP기기로 성분리 동결정액을 생산하였다. 성분리 X 정자의 농도에 따른 임신율과 출산율을 비교하기 위하여 대조군으로서 KPN 768정액을 이용하였으며 그 총 정자수는 $20{\times}10^6$로 추정되었다. 실험군으로서 성 판별된 백한우 X 정자를 이용하였으며, 정자수 $2{\times}10^6/straw$와 $4{\times}10^6/straw$를 처녀우 한우에 2회 인공수정하였다. 백한우의 정액 기형도는 $24.9{\pm}7.31%$로 관찰되었으며, 중편부 반전 정자기형이 약간 높은 정자로 검사되었다(11.7%). 성판별된 백한우 X-정자수가 $2{\times}10^6/straw$와 $4{\times}10^6/straw$를 인공 수정할 때 실험군에서 임신율의 차이는 없었으며, 보증씨수소 정자를 이용한 대조군의 경우, 임신율이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 대조군 KPN 768와 실험군 $2{\times}10^6/straw$ 정자와 $4{\times}10^6/straw$ 정자 처리군에서 임신율은 각각 85.0%, 26.3% 및 50 %로 관찰되었다. 산자 생산율은 각각 80.0%, 15.8% 및 21.4% 로 관찰되었고, 암컷 출현율은 각각 43.8%, 100% 및 100%로 조사되었다. 이러한 결과는 백한우 성 판별된 정자로 원하는 성을 가진 후대 생산이 가능함을 보여주고 있으며, 성 판별된 정자를 활용하여 원하는 성을 가진 백한우 후대를 생산하는데 최적화된 정자수의 대한 기본 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
