Stress is known to inhibit granule cell proliferation in the hippocampus. However, recent studies suggest that the commonly used dose of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is insufficient to label all fractions of granule cells. Furthermore, stress-induced changes in BrdU availability may influence the labeling of newly born cells. To investigate whether changes in BrdU availability affect measurements of stress-induced granule cell proliferation, granule cell proliferation was assessed using injection of high doses of BrdU before and after restraint stress lasting 1 h. In addition, to determine whether stress-induced changes in plasma corticosterone levels were influenced by the BrdU, time-dependent changes in plasma corticosterone levels over 2 h after BrdU injection were compared with total accumulated plasma corticosterone levels [as determined by areas under the curve (AUC)]. Restraint stress significantly reduced the numbers of BrdU-labeled cells and clusters in the granule cell layer (GCL) of rats that received BrdU after stress, and decreases of similar magnitude were observed when the rats were given BrdU before stress. BrdU injection enhanced the stress-induced plasma corticosterone response, but there was no difference between the mean AUCs of plasma corticosterone levels of animals injected with BrdU before or after stress. These observations suggest that restraint stress decreases granule cell proliferation, and that this may be influenced by the extent and duration of plasma corticosterone increases rather than by changes in the availability of BrdU.

임플란트 식립 시 가장 빈번하게 맞게 되는 문제점으로 임플란트 식립 부위에서의 불충분한 골량과 해부학적 구조에 의한 접근성의 문제를 들 수 있다. 일반적으로 성장 인자들은 치유 과정이나 조직 형성에 있어서 가장 기본적인 필수 요소로 인정되고 있다. 이러한 이유로 골 이식 재료의 효과를 증진시키기 위한 성장 인자들이 최근에 주목을 받고 있다. 혈소판 내 granules에는 높은 농도의 다양한 성장 인자들이 포함되어 있다. 특히, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)는 2세대 혈소판 농축 인자로 항응고제가 들어있지 않은 상태로 얻을 수가 있고, 혈소판과 많은 성장 인자들이 풍부한 섬유소 막을 포함하고 있다. 이번 연구의 목적은 in vitro 상에서 골아 세포에 대한 PRF의 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 특히 치유와 재생에 연관된 주요 기능으로써 증식과 분화에 대한 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서, PRF 내에서 방출되는 성장 인자(platelet-derived growth factor subunit B와 transforming growth factor-${\beta}1$)의 농도, 세포의 생존능력, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, type 1 collagen 합성, 골아 세포의 분화 지표로써 ALP와 Runx2의 발현 정도와 골 기질 단백질로써 type 1 collagen의 발현 정도에 대해서 조사하였다. 이 실험을 통하여 PRF는 치유 시 필요한 타당한 기간 동안에 충분히 자가 성장 인자의 방출을 유지하고 있음을 알 수 있었고, 골아 세포의 증식과 분화에 대해서 긍정적인 효과가 있음을 보여 주였다. 제한적인 실험이지만, 골재생을 위한 PRF의 사용은 골 치유와 골 개조에 있어서 증진 효과를 가져다줄 수 있는 촉망되는 방법 중 하나가 될 수 있을 것이다.

Obstructive sialadenitis of major salivary glands is a common entity that occurs either in sialolithiasis or in foreign-body obstruction of the excretory ducts. This is characterized histologically by the presence of duct-like structural groups in a highly fibrotic stroma. Although the pathologic features are well recognized, the various cell types involved in the atrophy and subsequent regeneration of the obstructed salivary gland have been controversial. For this reason, an animal model of obstructive sialadenitis that induced atrophy in the salivary gland was used. Experimental study was performed to observe changes of submandibular gland in rabbit and apply the results to clinical activity. Forty-five rabbits each weighing about 3Kg were used and divided into control and experimental group. In the experimental group, ducts of submandibular gland was ligated and cutted divided into each twenty rabbits. Rabbits were serially sacrificed on the 3rd, 5th, 14th, 30th day of experiment. The submandibular glands were dissected out at sacrifice and stained with H&E, MT, immunohistochemical stain and the histological examinations were carried out under the light and transmission electron microscope. After examination and comparison of all specimens, the results of this study were as follows: 1. In the features of H&E stain, moderate infiltration of inflammatory cell were present at 3rd day of experiment. The features of ductal metaplasia was observed after 7th day in the ligation group and destructive changes was continued. In the cutting group, atrophic changes were less severe than ligation group but the small ductule were separated from stroma after 7th day. 2. In the feature of MT stain, apposition of connective tissue was increased in all group, more active in ligation group. 3. In the features of immunohistochemical stain, ligation group showed increased PCNA positive response at 7th day and the higher activity of duct cells was observed. Severance group showed more PCNA positive response than ligation group at 30th day. 4. In TEM features, ductal metaplasia was started at 7th day and degenerative change with margination of nucleus had been severe. Although ductal metaplasia was seen in the severance group, more numerous granule in different size was founded than ligation group. From above results, degenerative change was identified with ductal metaplasia, apically apposition of granule, r-ER destruction in ligation group. Severance of duct elicit degenerative change of grandular cells but the change was less severe than ligation group and more PCNA positive cell was founded at acinar cell.

In this study, we investigated primary biocompatibility and osteogenic gene expression of porous granular BCP bone substitutes with or without strontium (Sr) doping. In vitro biocompatibility was investigated on fibroblasts like L929 cells and osteoblasts like MG-63 cells using a cell viability assay (MTT) and one cell morphological observation by SEM, respectively. MTT results showed a cell viability percent of L929 fibroblasts, which was higher in Sr-BCP granules (98-101%) than in the non-doped granules (92-96%, p < 0.05). Osteoblasts like MG-63 cells were also found to proliferate better on Sr-doped BCP granules (01-111%) than on the non-doped ones (92-99%, p < 0.05) using an MTT assay. As compared with pure BCP granules, SEM images of MG-63 cells grown on sample surfaces confirmed that cellular spreading, adhesion and proliferation were facilitated by Sr doping on BCP. Active filopodial growth of MG-63 cells was also observed on Sr-doped BCP granules. The cells on Sr-doped BCP granules were well attached and spread out. Gene expression of osteonectin, osteopontin and osteoprotegrin were also evaluated using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which showed that the mRNA phenotypes of these genes were well maintained and expressed in Sr-doped BCP granules. These results suggest that Sr doping in a porous BCP granule can potentially enhance the biocompatibility and bone ingrowth capability of BCP biomaterials.

본 연구 결과를 통하여 홍삼 성분인 고려홍삼 사포닌을 반복 투여시 흰쥐 해마 SGZ 부위의 신경전구세포 생성이 유의하게 증가되었으며, 이와 같은 경향은 반복 스트레스에 노출되어도 유지되었다. 또한 스트레스를 가하지 않은 흰쥐에서 고려홍삼 사포닌 반복 투여시 해마 CA3와 CA1 부위에서 BDNF mRNA의 발현이 증가되었으나, 반복 스트레스를 가한 흰쥐의 CA3와 CA1부위에서 BDNF mRNA의 감소를 차단하지는 못하였다. 따라서 고려홍삼 사포닌 반복 처치에 의한 해마 신경전구세포의 생성에 BDNF 보다는 다른 요인이 관여할 가능성이 클 것으로 추정된다.

The author observed the effects of retrograde infusion of water soluble contrast media (Tele- brix 30) on the rabbit submandibular glands and compared the effects of different degrees of filling. 26 rabbits were divided into 2 groups of 12 each as experimentals and I group of 2 as normal controls. One experimental group was filled with 0.2㎖ and the other with 0.4㎖. Right submandibular gland of each rabbit was infused with contrast media and left one with physiologic saline as a experimental control, at a constant rate of 0.12㎖/min. using an infusion pump via the main excretory duct. Immediately after the infusion of contrast media, oblique lateral radiographs of the glands were made with occlusal film in order to confirm the glandular filling. The rabbits were sacrificed after varying periods (1, 8, 24 hours and 3, 6, 10 days) and the tissues were prepared for light and electron microscopic examination. The results were as follows: 1. In glands filled with 0.2㎖ contrast media, the initial changes were a few vacuole formation in the acini and slight dilation of the intralobular duct. The moderately severe changes such as vacuole formation in the acini, the abnormal substructure within the secretory granule, dilation of acinar and intercalated duct lumen, scalloping of striated duct lumen and inflammatory cell infiltrate were observed at 3 days. The general appearance was successively recovered, so the tissue had a normal appearance at 10 days. 2. In glands filled with 0.4㎖ contrast media, the most prominent alterations such as severe acinar atrophy, decreased number of secretory granules, proliferation of connective tissue stroma and pronounced inflammatory cell infiltrates appeared at 6 days. Although the general appearance returned to be almost normal at 10 days, acinar cells showed some atrophy and decreased secretory granules. 3. In glands subjected to 0.4㎖ infusion, the alterations were more severe and the recovery was slower than those seen in the glands to 0.2㎖ infusion.

본 연구는 홍삼추출물(홍삼단)과 생약복합추출물(헤모힘)이 주요 기능성분은 다르지만 면역활성이라는 생리활성 측면에서 동일한 효과를 인정하고 있어서 이들의 병용 처리가 면역세포에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 면역활성능에 관한 평가를 진행하기 위하여 마우스의 골수에서 분리한 미분화 골수세포를 선천면역에서 중요한 역할을 수행하는 대식세포 및 수지상세포로 분화시킨 후 홍삼추출물과 생약복합추출물을 병용 처리하였을 때 대식세포 및 수지상세포의 세포 증식능 및 사이토카인의 분비능이 증가되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 활성화된 탐식(면역)세포의 세포 표면에서 발현되는 CD80과 CD86의 발현과 탐식(면역)세포의 항원제시에 밀접한 관련이 있는 주 조직적합성 복합체(MHC class II)의 발현이 홍삼추출물과 생약복합추출물의 병용 처리구에서 유의적으로 증가되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 후천면역에서 중요한 역할을 수행하는 면역 T 세포가 다량으로 분포하는 비장 조직으로부터 비장세포를 분리하여 홍삼추출물과 생약복합추출물을 병용처리하였을 때 세포 증식능 및 면역활성을 유도하는 Th1 세포가 분비하는 사이토카인의 함량이 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 볼 때 홍삼추출물과 생약복합 추출물의 병용 처리는 선천면역뿐만 아니라 후천면역에 관여하는 다양한 면역세포의 활성화에 직 간접적으로 다양한 상승작용을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.
