Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of (1) the size of the bony access window and (2) collagen membrane coverage over the window in sinus floor elevation in a rabbit sinus model. Methods: Small bony access windows (SW; ø 2.8 mm) were made in 6 rabbits and large windows (LW; ø 6 mm) in 6 other rabbits. Both sinuses in each rabbit were allocated to groups with or without coverage of a collagen membrane (CM) on the window, resulting in 4 groups: SW, LW, SW+CM, and LW+CM. After 4 weeks of healing, micro-computed tomographic, histologic, and histomorphometric analyses were performed. Results: Bony healing in the window area was incomplete in all groups, but most bone graft particles were well confined in the augmented cavity. Histologically, the pattern of new bone formation was similar in all groups. Histomorphometrically, the percentage of newly formed bone was greater in the groups with CM than in the groups without CM, and in the groups with SW than in the groups with LW (12.92%±6.40% in the SW+CM group, 4.21%±7.73% in the SW group, 10.45%±4.81% in the LW+CM group, 11.77%±3.83% in the LW group). The above differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions: The combination of a small bony access window and the use of a collagen membrane over the window favored new bone formation compared to other groups, but this result should be further investigated due to the limitations of the present animal model.

Background/Aims: The diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) is often challenging. Therapeutic anti-tubercular trial (TATT) is sometimes used for the diagnosis of ITB. We aimed to evaluate the changing pattern of fecal calprotectin (FC) levels during TATT in patients with ITB. Methods: A retrospective review was performed on the data of 39 patients who underwent TATT between September 2015 and November 2018 in five university hospitals in Daegu, South Korea. The analysis was performed for 33 patients with serial FC measurement reports. Results: The mean age of the participants was 48.8 years. The final diagnosis of ITB was confirmed in 30 patients based on complete mucosal healing on follow-up colonoscopy performed after 2 months of TATT. Before starting TATT, the mean FC level of the ITB patients was 170.2 ㎍/g (range, 11.5-646.5). It dropped to 25.4 ㎍/g (range, 11.5-75.3) and then 23.3 ㎍/g (range, 11.5-172.2) after one and two months of TATT, respectively. The difference in mean FC before and one month after TATT was statistically significant (p<0.001), and FC levels decreased to below 100 ㎍/g in all patients after one month of TATT. Conclusions: All ITB patients showed FC decline after only 1 month of TATT, and this finding correlated with complete mucosal healing in the follow-up colonoscopy after 2 months of TATT.

Several methods have been used for regeneration of tissue lost by periodontal disease. Subepithelial connective tissue graft technique, one of the technniques of mucogingival surgery, is used for the regeneration in esthetic problems such as recession, and denuded root coverage. This study is performed to evaluate the healing process and the regeneration and reattachment of periodontal tissue, including the reconstruction of junctional epithelium, and connective tissue. Alveolar defects in five adult dogs were treated with periodontal surgery and were attained by removing the marginal alveolar bone by $4{\time}3mm$ from CEJ in the labial side of incisors, and root surfaces were planed. The experimental sites were divided into two groups as follows. 1. root planing alone(control group) 2. with connective tissue graft (Experimental Group) In the two groups flaps were positioned and sutured tightly, the healing processes were observed and were histologically compared with each other after 2days, 4days, 1week, 2weeks, 4weeks. The results were obtained as follows : 1. In the two groups blood clots were observed as early as 2 and 4 days, and were resorbed at 1 week. 2. In the two groups moderate inflammation was observed as early as 2 and 4 days, decreased at 1 and 2 weeks, and disappeared at 4 weeks. 3. Junctional Epithelium migration was more significant in the control group, and was restrained by graft materials in the experimental group. 4. Features of connective tissue fiber attachment partially showed the parallel pattern in the two groups from 2 weeks, and entirely from 4weeks. 5. Anastomosis, between graft and connective tissue, appeared from 4 days in the experimental group and the border between them was not discriminated at 4weeks.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influences of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) on the healing of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone after replantation of tooth, and to examine the possibility of its clinical application. 45 Sprague Dawley rats weighted about 100 gram were divided into 3 experimental groups by different dose of BMP. All the upper right and left 1st molar were extracted after 5 days feeding of 0.4% ${\beta}$-aminopropionitrile, and right molar were used as experimental group and left molar were used as control group. The root surface of experimental molar were treated with 25,50 and l00ng/ml of human recombinant Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (rh-BMP-4) with micropipet, and 1M Sodium hypochloride were used on control root surface. All the experimental animals were sacrificed as 1, 2, 4, 7 and 14 days after autoreplantation of upper 1st molar into their own position. The maxilla were disected included both side of 1st molar. The collected tissue were processed from demineralization to paraffin embeding as usual procedure, and the specimens were prepared with Hematoxylin-Eosin stain for the light microscopic evaluation. The results of this study were as follows : 1. There was no significant differences between control and experimental site on 1 and 2 days after replantation of tooth. In the case of 4th days, the evidence of tissue regeneration were observed on experimental site to compare the controls. New osteoid were revealed on high concentration of BMP at 7 days after replantation, and it became more obvious at 14 days, 2. The effect of the rh-BMP-4 coated on root surface was revealed slight influences for the prolifertion of cells of periodontium and tissue regeneration as dose-dependent pattern. 3. Bony ankylosis was observed between alveolar bone and root surface due to the remarkable amount of osteoid formation on the 14 days after replantation of root. In the conclusion, it was suggested that topical application of the rhBMP-4 on the root surface has influence on the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. The application method of BMP on the root should be designed with calculation of proper concentration.

In this study, effects of incision of retrodiscal tissue and unilateral occlusal reduction on temporomandibular joint of rabbit were investigated. Twenty-seven adult New Zealand White Rabbits, weighing over 3.5kg, were utilized in this study. Temporomandibular joint surgery was performed in left temporomandibular joint of 24 rabbits to displace disc anteriorly through incising the retrodiscal tissue 1-2mm posterior to the disc. They were divided into two groups : twelve were left untreated after surgery, occlusal reduction was performed on left posterior teeth every 2 weeks in the other twelve rabbits, The remaining three served as the control group. The sample were sacrificed by 8, 12, and 16 weeks after surgery. Histologic examinations were performed after sacrificing them. The results were as follows : 1. Histologic findings which were manifested by flat articular fossa, broad articular surface, generalized recession of articular cartilage and sclerosis of subchondral bone were observed. These findings were similar to internal derangement. 2. In the rabbits untreated after surgery, thin cartilagenous layer and necrotic tissue were observed in 8 weeks group, calcifying cartilagenous layer was observed in 12 weeks group, and cartilagenous layer on anterior portion was observed in 16 weeks group. So, it showed gradual healing pattern into the normal tissue except displaced disc. 3. Occlusal trauma after surgery resulted in generalized recession of upper and lower articular surface. Necrosis and vertical split on condylar process of mandible were observed in 8 weeks group. Osteoclasts, exposure of subchondral bone due to erosion on upper and lower articular surface, and degenerative changes on retrodiscal tissue were observed in 16 weeks group. So, it showed continuous prowess pattern of osteoarthrosis.

본 연구는 뮤지컬 배우의 공연 후 배역 투사와 그 후유증 양태를 파악하여 제도적인 치유 시스템을 모색하기 위해 실시되었다. 우리나라 정상급 남녀 뮤지컬 배우 22명을 상대로 심층 인터뷰를 하여 분석한 결과, 배우들은 대부분 공연 후 1개월 이상 장기간 배역 투사에 시달리며 우울증 등의 후유증으로 고통 받고 있으며, 치유도 전문가 상담을 회피한 채 자기진단에 따라 기분전환에 의존하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 투사는 극중 주인공, 부정적 현실적 캐릭터 연기, 격한 감정을 표출할 때 특히 두드러졌다. 연구 결과는 배우들의 생생한 제언처럼 케이컬처 시대의 수준에 맞게 배우가 출연 전후 배우 친화적인 전문가의 상담 치료를 받도록 입법을 하고 재원을 조성해 민간에 배우전문 케어센터를 구축해야 한다는 점을 암시한다.
