This study was undertaken to obtain basic data of the sternal development in Korean native cattle from the earliest sternal formation to the ossification using histological and histochemical methods. Thrity three sterna were collected from a series of embryos and fetuses ranging from 11 to 225mm (estimated age 37~120days) in crown rump length. The bilateral sternal bars were observed in the 2nd group(CRL 21~3mm) of Korean cattle embryos. Those bars initiated to be fused in the 3rd group (CRL 31~4mm) and completed in the 7th group(CRL 71~80mm). The ossification centers were detected in the 8th group(CRL 81~90mm) also bilateral ossification centers were found in the same group. The typical epiphyseal plates, endochondral bone and calcium deposit were found in the 9th group(CRL 91~100mm). Osteocytes, osteoblasts, osteoclasts and myeloid cells appeared in ossification centers in the 10th group(more than CRL 101mm). The alcianophility responded markedly in the 9th group that was decreased and showed slightly positive reaction in territorial matrix of the 10th group. Marked positive reaction to PAS was observed in bony trabeculae in the 10th group. The positive reaction to calcium deposit by trichrome stain was observed initially in the hypertrophied zone of epiphyseal plate in the 9th group and was conspicuous in the calcified zone of epiphyseal plate in the 10th group. The 1st positive reaction to the von Kossa stain was observed in the 9th group.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the histopathological change and adaptation process of the mandibular joint of the rat by muscle alteration. For this study, one hundred and twenty eight rats of 25 - and 60 - day old of age were used. Unilateral and bilateral detachment, with anterior positioning of the Masseter muscle, was performed under anesthesia. The animal was sacrified 10, 20, 50, 80 days postoperatively. This alteration in muscle function led to change in neuromuscular activity and demonstrated the adaptive nature of the condyle cartilage to functional demand. The results were as follows : 1. In the right muscle detached group, operated at 25 days of age, marked decrease on the chondroblastic zone was found in the condyle head on the right side of animals examined 10 days postoperatively. Comparing with the control group, no difference was found on the chondroblastic zone in the condylar head of animals examined 20, 50 and 80 days postoperatively. 2. In the bilateral muscle detached group, operated at 25 days of age, the chondroblastic zone was slightly decreased in the anterior parts of condylar head of animals examined 10 days postoperatively. 3. In the unilateral and bilateral muscle detached group, operated at 60 days of age, no significant change was found in the mandibular joint regardless of the post operative experimental periods. 4. Under Toluidine blue staining, slightly decreased metachromasia was found in the condyle head on the right side of unilateral experimental animals, operated at 25 days of age and examined 10 days postoperatively. 5. Under Masson's trichrome staining, increased metachromasia was found in the condyle head on the right side of unilateral experimental animals, operated at 25 days of age and examined 10 days postoperatively. In summary, the condyle of the rat could respond to changes in neuromuscular activity depend on the level of maturation of the tissue, because the endochondral bone formation of the condyle of the rat was almost ended within 3 months.

Epidural analgesia using an epidural catheter is an effective method to relieve the pain during the rehabilitating procedure for postoperative orthopedic patients. Total spinal anesthesia is one of the possible complications of epidural catheterization which can lead to a life-threatening condition. Achondroplasia is the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism resulting from a failure of endochondral bone formation. In patients suffering with short stature syndrome like achondroplasia, the incidence and risk of total spinal anesthesia during epidural anesthesia may increase because of the technical difficulty and structural anomaly of the spine. We report here on a 35-year old female patient with a height of a 115 cm. She was diagnosed as achondroplasia and she had a previous Ilizarov operation; both tibial lengthening and correction of valgus were done. No specific event occurred during epidural catheterization. Immediately after the injection of a test dose via epidural catheter, the patient became hypotensive, drowsy and showed weakness of both her upper and lower extremities. The symptoms were disappeared after 40 minutes. The catheter was removed on the next day. We concluded that the total spinal anesthesia was caused by intrathecal injection of local anesthetics through the epidural catheter, and the anesthesia then migrated into the subarachonoid space.

Objectives : Deer antler Water Extract(DAE), prepared from the pilose antler of Cervus korean TEMMINCK var. mantchuricus Swinhoe (Nokyong), a traditional immuno-suppressive and immuno-activating Korean herbal-acupuncture, is thought to play an important role in human bone remodeling. Methods : To determine whether DAE can induce the differentiation of resting zone chondrocytes(RC) or not, confluent cell cultures were pretreated for 24, 36, 48, 72, and 120hrs with DAE. At the end of pretreatment, the media were replaced with new media containing $10^{-10}{\sim}10^{-8}M\;1,25-(OH)_2D_3$ and the cells incubated for an additional 24hrs. Results : This second treatment was chosen because prior studies had shown that only the more mature growth zone chondrocytes(GC) respond to this vitamin $D_3$ metabolite. The effect of DAE pretreatment on cell maturation was confirmed by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALPase)-specific activity. Changes in matrix protein synthesis were examined by measuring collagen synthesis, as well as $^{35}SO_4$ incorporation into proteoglycans. When RC cells were pretreated for 120h with DAE, treatment with $1,25-(OH)_2D_3$ caused a dose-dependent increase in ALPase-specific activity and collagen synthesis, however, the proteoglycan production was not affected. RC cells pretreated with $1,25-(OH)_2D_3$ responded like RC cells that had not received any pretreatment. Conclusion : These results indicate that DAE directly regulates the maturation of RC chondrocytes into GC chondrocytes. Therefore it was indicated that DAE may play a significant role in regulating chondrocyte maturation during endochondral ossification.

This study was designed to observe the adaptive changes of mandibular condyles to displacement of mandibular condyle in adult animals. In this study, 16 rabbits weighting about 3.5 kg was selected. Four rabbits were preserved for control group and 8 animals were divided into 3 groups, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks. The experimental animals were performed oblique osteotomy on both mandibular ramus and internal wiring at mandibular border. The experimental animals were sacrificed consecutively on the 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after oblique osteotomy and mandibular condyles were dissected out carefully to produced tissue specimen. The specimens were fixed with 10% N formaline solution for 24 hours and rinsed with phosphate buffer solution. It was decalcified with 5% nitric acid for 15 days. Thereafter the specimens were dehydrated in alcohol series and embedded paraffin as usual manner. The mebedded specimen were sectioned in $4-6{\mu}m$ microtome, stained with hematoxylin-eosin and azan stain and observed through light microscope. The following results were observed from this experiment. When there was postional change of condyle head after mandibular ramus oblique osteotomy in adult rabbit, 1. The density of chondrocyte was generally increased at condylar cartilage and the thickness of condylar cartilage was increased posterosuperior aspect of the mandibular condyle slightly. 2. The density of chondrocyte was increased at proliferative zone so fibrous articular zone, porliferative zone and hypertrophic zone was clearly distinguished. 3. Active endochondral bone formation was occurred at mandibular condyle.

The purpose of this experiment was to examine the histological changes and the pattern of expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) and type I collagen in the elongated bone affected by osteodistraction of the mandibular body in an adult canine model. Seven adult male mongrel dogs weighing over 20kg were used for this experiment. The author excluded 3 animals because they died before the planned time of sacrifice. The custom-made linear extraoral device and 4 bicortical fixation screws 2.3mm in diameter, 50mm in total length, 15mm in screw length were used in each animal. The distal part of the distractor produced a 0.75mm gap between proximal and distal bony segments every $360^{\circ}$ turn of the rotation rod of the device. The mandibular body of the right side from each animal was experimental side and the left side was left intact and served as control. At the experimental side, the mandibular body was osteotomized. After 5-day latency period, the segments were distracted with a rate of 1.1mm/day and a rhythm of two/day for ensuing 7 days. The animals were sacrificed at the 4th. 17th, and 32th day after the end of the distraction. The bony specimens were decalcified, embedded in paraffin, sectioned $5{\mu}m$ thick and stained with Masson trichrome and examined under the light microscope. The immunohistochemical examinations using anti-PCNA antibody and anti-type-I collagen antibody were performed to examine the pattern of the expression of PCNA and type I collagen, respectively. Results : 1. The mean increment of the distance between the proximal and distal screw-holding parts of the distractor was 6.8mm. The average elongation of the mandible in the experimental side was 5.3mm. The loss of elongation was 1.5mm in average. 2. New bone was already observed at the 4th. day after the end of distraction. But, bony union was not completed in the distraction gap at the 32th. day after the end of distraction by radiographic and microscopic examinations. 3. The expression rate of PCNA positive cells in the distraction gap had a tendency of decrease from 35.1-68.8% initially, to 49.1%, and finally to 17.6-27.2%. But at the final period, the tissue of the elongated gap still had the ability of cell proliferation. On the other hand, the expression of PCNA positive cells in the control side were negligible through the experimental period. 4. PCNA positive cells were observed primarily both at the central fibrous zone and at the region of just adjacent to CFZ which initiated new bone formation. 5. The expression pattern of the type I collagen was not zone-specific. They were observed diffusely throughout the elongation gap. 6. The predominant mechanism of new bone formation in the distraction gap was intramembranous. But, some of the regenerated bone was formed by endochondral ossification.

기능력은 뼈의 형성, 유지 및 개조 이외에도 치아이동, 교정치료, 기능성 악교정장치의 사용 등과 관련한 치주인대세포의 특성 변화 등에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 또한, 하악과두에서도 기능력의 변화에 따라서 다양한 특성의 변화가 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 ICR 생쥐를 8주 동안 soft-diet와 hard-diet의 식이 조절을 통해 기능력의 변화를 유도하여, 기능력의 변화와 관련한 특이 유전자를 검출하기 위하여 subtractive hybridization, northern 분석 및 mRNA in-situ hybidization 등의 실험을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Soft-diet군과 hard-diet군의 subtractive hybridization을 통하여 총 39개의 clone을 얻었고 이중에서 11개의 서로 다른 hard-diet군 특이 후보 유전자들을 분리하였다. 2. 11개의 후보 유전자들 중에서 homology 검색과 northern 분석을 통하여 기능력과 관련이 있을 것으로 생각되거나 hard-diet군에서 mRNA가 선택적으로 발현되는 FS-s2, FS-s5, FS-s18 및 Fs-s22 유전자를 선택하였다. 3. Soft-diet군과 hard-diet군의 형태학적 분석에서 soft-diet군은 hard-diet군에 비하여 골모세포의 활성과 골개조의 특성은 저하된 것으로 관찰되었으나, 하악과두의 연골성골화 과정은 오랜 시간동안 지속되는 것으로 나타났다. 4. FS-s2, FS-s5, FS-s18 및 Fs-s22 유전자의 cRNA 탐침자를 이용한 in-situ hybridization에서 4개의 유전자의 mRNA들은 hard-diet군의 세포들에서는 강하게 발현되었으나 soft-diet군의 세포들에서는 그 발현이 미약하거나 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 FS-s2, FS-s5, FS-s18 및 Fs-s22 유전자들은 대부분이 기능이 거의 알려져 있지 않는 것들로 기능력의 변화 과정에서 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 생각되나 앞으로 보완 연구를 통하여 각 각의 유전자들의 보다 정확한 기능을 이해하는 것이 필요 할 것으로 사료된다.

막내골화와 연골내골화 등의 정상적인 골격 성장은 섬유아세포 성장인자 (FGF) 와 이들 수용체들 (FGFR) 에 의한 신호 전달체계에 의해 조절된다. 또한 전사조절인자인 Runx2 ($Cbfa1/Pebp2{\alpha}A/AML3$) 는 골아세포분화 뿐만 아니라 골형성에도 필수적인 유전자로 알려져 있다. FGF signaling이 mouse의 두개관과 하악에서의 연골 형성에 어떤 영향을 미치고 있으며, 이 과정에서 Runx2의 연관성을 알아보고자 in vivo 및 in vitro 실험을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 두개관과 하악을 Alcian blue 염색한 결과 시상두개봉합부 연골은 태생 16일부터, Meckel's 연골은 태생11일부터 형성되기 시작하였다. 이들 연골세포들의 성상을 알아보기위한 in situ hybridization 결과 시상두개봉합부 연골 및 Meckel's 연골 모두에서 type II collagen은 발현되었으나, Type X collagen은 발현되지 않았다. Runx2 mRNA는 시상두개봉합부 연골과 Meckel's 연골 모두에서 발현되지 않았지만, 이들 연골들의 가장자리를 둘러싸고 있는 독특한 발현양상을 나타내었다. 두개봉합부에서의 FGF2 protein의 국소적 적용은 두개봉합부 하방의 연골형성을 억제하였다. 또한 하악의 Meckel's 연골 발생 부위에 FGF2 protein의 국소적 적용 역시 Meckel's 연골의 형성을 억제하였다. FGF2 protein은 시상두개봉합부상의 bead 주위로 Runx2의 발현을 유도하였다. 이 결과들을 종합해볼 때, FGF signaling은 골아세포와 연골아세포가 공존하고 있는 조직에서의 연골 형성을 억제하고 있음을 시사해 주고 있으며, 이 과정에서 FGF signaling은 부분적으로 Runx2 유전자의 발현을 조절하므로써 연골세포의 증식과 분화에 관여할 것으로 사료된다.
