  • 본 연구는 인삼(Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer)의 모상근에 $^{60}$Co ${\gamma}$-ray의 조사에 따른 영향을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 0.5~4 Krad의 다양한 방사선을 조사한 결과 모상근은 3Krad이상에서 생장이 억제되었다. 2 Krad이하의 방사선을 조사한 모상근의 정단을 제거한후 자라난 측근을 하나의 세포주로 하여 생장과 형태가 다양한 206개의 모상근 세포주를 선발하고 1/2 MS 호르몬 무첨가 배지에서 배양하였다. 206개의 세포주 중 생장이 우수한 10개의 세포주를 선발하였는데 특히 대조구에 비해 ${\gamma}$-GHR 70과 ${\gamma}$-GHR 94의 생장이 각각 34.5%, 44.7% 으로 가장 높음을 확인하였다. 생장이 우수한 10개 세포주의 형태적 특징을 주근의 굵기와 측근의 돌기형성, 측근의 생장정도에 따라 관찰하였던 바, 생장이 우수한 세포주는 1차근이 가늘며 왕성한 생장을 나타남을 확인하였다. Ginsenoside의 함량에 있어서 생장이 우수한 10개의 세포주 중 8개의 모상근 세포주가 대조구보다 함량이 높았으며 특히 ${\gamma}$-GHR 59와 ${\gamma}$-GHR 94는 각각 19%와 16.9%로 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 따라서 ${\gamma}$-ray를 조사한 모상근 세포주 중 총 ginsenoside 함량이 우수하고 생장 또한 우수한 세포주로 ${\gamma}$-GHR 70, ${\gamma}$-GHR 94를 선발하였다. 특정 ginsenoside의 함량별로 보면 항암에 효과적인 Rb$_2$${\gamma}$-GHR 57가 7.6%, Rc는 ${\gamma}$-GHR 69가 16.2%의 함량 증가를 나타내어 특정 ginsenoside 생산에 효율적일 것으로 보인다. 돌연변이와 관련된 유전자(VNTRP)분석은 현재 진행 중에 있다.

  • Purpose : Three dimensional conformal radiotherapy planning is being used widely for the treatment of patients with brain tumor. However, it takes much time to develop an optimal treatment plan, therefore, it is difficult to apply this technique to all patients. To increase the efficiency of this technique, we need to develop standard radiotherapy plant for each site of the brain. Therefore we developed several 3 dimensional conformal radiotherapy plans (3D plans) for tumors at each site of brain, compared them with each other, and with 2 dimensional radiotherapy plans. Finally model plans for each site of the brain were decide. Materials and Methods : Imaginary tumors, with sizes commonly observed in the clinic, were designed for each site of the brain and drawn on CT images. The planning target volumes (PTVs) were as follows; temporal $tumor-5.7\times8.2\times7.6\;cm$, suprasellar $tumor-3\times4\times4.1\;cm$, thalamic $tumor-3.1\times5.9\times3.7\;cm$, frontoparietal $tumor-5.5\times7\times5.5\;cm$, and occipitoparietal $tumor-5\times5.5\times5\;cm$. Plans using paralled opposed 2 portals and/or 3 portals including fronto-vertex and 2 lateral fields were developed manually as the conventional 2D plans, and 3D noncoplanar conformal plans were developed using beam's eye view and the automatic block drawing tool. Total tumor dose was 54 Gy for a suprasellar tumor, 59.4 Gy and 72 Gy for the other tumors. All dose plans (including 2D plans) were calculated using 3D plan software. Developed plans were compared with each other using dose-volume histograms (DVH), normal tissue complication probabilities (NTCP) and variable dose statistic values (minimum, maximum and mean dose, D5, V83, V85 and V95). Finally a best radiotherapy plan for each site of brain was selected. Results : 1) Temporal tumor; NTCPs and DVHs of the normal tissue of all 3D plans were superior to 2D plans and this trend was more definite when total dose was escalated to 72 Gy (NTCPs of normal brain 2D $plans:27\%,\;8\%\rightarrow\;3D\;plans:1\%,\;1\%$). Various dose statistic values did not show any consistent trend. A 3D plan using 3 noncoplanar portals was selected as a model radiotherapy plan. 2) Suprasellar tumor; NTCPs of all 3D plans and 2D plans did not show significant difference because the total dose of this tumor was only 54 Gy. DVHs of normal brain and brainstem were significantly different for different plans. D5, V85, V95 and mean values showed some consistent trend that was compatible with DVH. All 3D plans were superior to 2D plans even when 3 portals (fronto-vertex and 2 lateral fields) were used for 2D plans. A 3D plan using 7 portals was worse than plans using fewer portals. A 3D plan using 5 noncoplanar portals was selected as a model plan. 3) Thalamic tumor; NTCPs of all 3D plans were lower than the 2D plans when the total dose was elevated to 72 Gy. DVHs of normal tissues showed similar results. V83, V85, V95 showed some consistent differences between plans but not between 3D plans. 3D plans using 5 noncoplanar portals were selected as a model plan. 4) Parietal (fronto- and occipito-) tumors; all NTCPs of the normal brain in 3D plans were lower than in 2D plans. DVH also showed the same results. V83, V85, V95 showed consistent trends with NTCP and DVH. 3D plans using 5 portals for frontoparietal tumor and 6 portals for occipitoparietal tumor were selected as model plans. Conclusion : NTCP and DVH showed reasonable differences between plans and were through to be useful for comparing plans. All 3D plans were superior to 2D plans. Best 3D plans were selected for tumors in each site of brain using NTCP, DVH and finally by the planner's decision.

  • Tibial bone grafts provide an adequate volume of cancellous bone with cortical bone, high biologic value of bone, minimal gait disturbance and complications, and no special contraindications, and offer a superior clinical results than any other donor sites. Lateral appoach in tibial bone graft was used to gain large bone volume traditionally, but medial approach provides low morbidity associated with the tibial anatomic structure, simple and safety surgical procedure, and better comfortable to patients recently. We have undertaken clinical and retrospective studies on patients in Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Inha University Hospital from April 2004 to January 2008. 50 patients have maxillofacial bony defect as resection of bening tumor, cyst enucleation, alveolar bone resorption, sinus pneumatization were received the tibial proximal autogenous particulated cancellous bone grafts. They were analyzed sex, age, diagnosis of recipient site, lesion size, dornor site, cortical bone repositioning, complications and we concluded favorable following results. 1. Medial approach for proximal tibia is safer and technically easier than lateral approach, associated with the proximal tibial anatomic structures, and short operative times. 2. Proximal tibia provides an adequate bone volume with predictability for oral and maxillofacial reconstruction. 3. Patients rarely complain of pain, swelling, discomfort and dysfunction such as gait disturbance. In conclusion, medial approach for proximal tibial graft seems to be a valuable tool for oral and maxillofacial reconstruction.

  • Purpose : To find the cause of root curvature by use of panoramic and lateral cephalometric radiograph. Materials and Methods : Twenty six 1st graders whose mandibular 1st molars .just emerged into the mouth were selected. Panoramic and lateral cephalometric radiograph were taken at grade 1 and 6, longitudinally. In cephalometric radio graph, mandibular plane angle, ramus-occlusal plane angle, gonial angle, and gonion-gnathion distance (Go-Gn distance) were measured. In panoramic radio graph, elongated root length and root angle were measured by means of digital subtraction radiography. Occlusal plane-tooth axis angle was measured, too. Pearson correlations were used to evaluate the relationships between root curvature and elongated length and longitudinal variations of all variables. Multiple regression equation using related variables was computed. Results : The Pearson correlation coefficient between curved angle and longitudinal variations of occlusal plane-tooth axis angle and ramus-occlusal plane angle was 0.350 and 0.401, respectively (p<0.05). There was no significant correlation between elongated root length and longitudinal variations of all variables. The resulting regression equation was $Y=10.209+0.208X_1+0.745X_2$ (Y: root angle, $X_1$: variation of occlusal plane-tooth axis angle, $X_2$: variation of ramus-occlusal plane angle). Conclusion : It was suspected that the reasons of root curvature were change of tooth axis caused by contact with 2nd deciduous tooth and amount of mesial and superior movement related to change of occlusal plane.

  • Statement of problem : There have been previous studies about considerable variations in machining accuracy and consistency in the implant-abutment-screw interfaces. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the machining accuracy and consistency of implant/abutment/screw combinations on two randomly selected implants from each of four manufactures. Material and methods : In this study, screws were respectively used to secure a cemented abutment, to a hexlock implant fixture ; teflon coated titanium alloy screw(Torq-Tite) and titanium alloy screw in Steri--Oss system, gold-plated gold-palladium alloy screw(Gold-Tite) and titanium alloy screw in 3i system gild screw ana titanium screw in AVANA Dental Implant system, and titanium screws in Paragon System. The implants were perpendicularly mounted in polymethyl methacrylate autopolymerizing acrylic resin block(Orthodontic resin, Densply International Inc. USA) by use of dental surveyer. Each abutment screw was secured to the implant with recommended torque value using a digital torque controller. Each screw was again tightened after 10 minutes. All samples were cross sectioned with grinder-polisher unit(Omnilap 2000 SBT Inc) after embeded in liquid unsaturated polyester (Epovia, Cray Valley Inc) Results : There were the largest gaps in the neck areas of screws in hexagonal extension implants which were examined in this study. The leading edge of the abutment screw thread (superior surface) was in contact with the implant body thread, and the majority of the contacting surfaces were localized to the middle portion of the mating threads. Considerable variation in the contacting surfaces was noted in the samples evaluated. Amounts of contact in the abutment screw thread were larger for assemblies with Gold-Tite screw, gold alloy screw. Torq-Tite screw than those with titanium screws. The findings of intimate contact between the screw and screw seat were seen in all samples, regardless of manufacturers. However, microgap between the head and lateral neck surface of the screw and the abutment could be dectected in all samples. The findings of intimate contact between the platform of the implant and the bottom of the abutment were consistent in all samples, regardless of manufacturers. However, microgaps between the lateral surface of external hex of the fixture and the abutment could be dectected in all samples. Conclusion : Considerable variations in machining accuracy and consistency were noted in the samples and the implant-abutment-screw interfaces were incomplete. From the results of this study, further development of the system will be required, including improvements in pattern design.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the stress distribution at supporting bone according to the types of endosseous implants. This investigation evaluated the stress patterns in rectangular photoelastic models produced by four different types of dental implants such as $Br\ddot{a}nemark$, screw type of Steri-Oss, blade type of Steri-Oss, IMZ with IMC and resin tooth using the techniques of quasi-three dimensional photoelasticity. All prostheses were casted in the same nonprecious alloy and were cemented or screwed on their respective implants and abutments. 20 kg of vertical load was applied on the central fossa of casted crown and 16 kg of inclined had was applied on the top third of distal surface of casted crown respectively. The results were as follows : 1. Under the vertical load, screw implants of Steri-Oss and $Br\ddot{a}nemark$ showed increasing stress condition between and around the screw threads along the implant lateral surface and cylindrical implant of IMZ showed the less stress condition along the lateral surface with concentration of stress mostly near the root apex. 2. Under the vertical load, the stress of Steri-Oss blade was distributed uniformly at the alveolar bone under the broad blade. 3. Under the inclined load, the stress concentration of Steri-Oss screw and $Br\ddot{a}nemark$ was developed highly around the mesiocervical bone area on the contralateral side to force application. The stress of $Br\ddot{a}nemark$ with flexible gold glod was more concentrated in the cervical bone area than that of Steri-Oss with stiff screw. 4. Under the inclined load, the stress of Steri-Oss blade broadly was distributed around the mesioceivical bone area and the lower and mesial bone area of the blade. 5. Under the Inclined load, IMZ implant showed the gap between c개wn and fixture due ta deformation of the IMC and IMZ was lower in stress concentration developed around the mesiocervical bone area than $Br\ddot{a}nemark$ and Steri-Oss screw. 6. Under the inclined load, the stress magnitude induced in the mesiocervical bone area of implants was in order of $Br\ddot{a}nemark$, Steri-Oss strew, IMZ and Stsri-Oss blade. 7. Tilting forces as compared to axial forces exerted greater magnitude of stress in the cervical bone area of the implant. 8. In respect of stress distribution, Steri-Oss blade was superior than any other implants and in respect of the stability by horizontal lone, IMB and $Br\ddot{a}nemark$ was inferior than any other implants.

  • Objective:Impaired processing of working memory is one of the cognitive deficits seen in patients with schizophrenia. This aimed at corroborating the differences in the brain activities involved in the process of working memory between patients with schizophrenia and the control subjects. Method:Fourteen patients with schizophrenia and 12 healthy volunteers were recruited in this study. Functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) was used to assess cortical activities during the performance of a 2-back visual working memory paradigm using the Korean alphabet as mnemonic content. Results:Group analysis revealed that left lateral prefrontal cortex and right parietal lobule showed decreased cortical activities in the patient group. On the other hand, an increased activation in left superior and middle frontal gyrus, left middle temporal gyrus, right cuneus, both occipital lobes, right fusiform gyrus and right cingulate gyrus. The activation in left anterior lobe and both declive of cerebellum was also increased. Conclusions:This study showed a decreased activation in left lateral prefrontal and right parietal neural networks from the patient group and confirmed the earlier findings on the impaired working memory of patients with schizophrenia using fMRI investigation. The regions implicated in our study suggest an abnormal functioning of the fronto-parietal cortical areas that are critical to the information processing stream, which might be correspondent to common pathophysiology rather than a common etiology in schizophrenia.

  • 알츠하이머병에서는 전산화 단층촬영영상이나 자기공명영상을 이용하여 구조적, 비특이적 뇌 위축등의 병변을 진단할 수는 있으나 뇌 당대사 및 혈류 분포에 의한 이상 유무를 진단하기 위해서는 단일광자방출 단층촬영술 (single photon emission computed tomography, SPECT) 이나 양전자 방출 단층촬영술 (positron emission tomography, PET)을 이용한 국소 뇌혈류나 뇌 당대사 변화를 관찰한 진단이 필수적이다. 따라서 SEPCT나 PET영상 위에 직접 관심영역(region of interest, ROI)를 그려서 ROI를 관찰하여 해부학적 뇌위축과 국소 뇌혈류나 뇌 당대사 변화를 분석하였으나 ROI 방법은 주관적인 영향과 많은 분석 시간을 요하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 통계적 분석 방법을 이용한 맵핑방법으로 voxel based morphometry 방법을 수행하였고 MMSE 값을 분산분석변수로 하여 영상분석하여 $^{18}$F-labeled 2-deoxyglucose ($^{18}$F-FDG) positron emission tomography(PET)-CT 영상을 분석하였다. MMSE 값을 변수로 분석한 voxel based morphemetry 방법에서는 MMSE 값에 의한 대사저하의 변화는 무의미하였다. 알츠하이머병에서는 측두두정엽(temporoparietal cortex)의 cerebral blood flow, oxygen utilization, glucose metabolism은 줄어들고, 일차시각피질, 일차감각피질, 기저핵, 시상, 소뇌는 유지되며 voxel based morphometry 방법은 알츠하이머병을 분석하는데 유용한 분석방법이다.
