흰쥐를 실험 대상으로 하여 Treadmill 운동을 실시하여 운동에 의한 심근의 적응과 cytochrome oxidase 활성에 관한 세포화학적 연구 알아보고자 실험을 실시하였다. 실험동물은 SD계 웅성 흰쥐를 이용하여 출생 3개월 정도의 체중 $150{\pm}10g$정도로 실험을 시작하였다. 실험군은 일상 대조군과 운동군 2개군으로 나누고, 각각 1일, 3일, 1주일, 4주일, 8주일 및 12주일 동안 각각 4마리씩 운동시켜 실험에 이용하였다. 형태 계측학적 방법으로 심장의 무게변화, 심근섬유와 모세혈관의 비, 그리고 CO 활성정도를 측정하였다. 광학및 전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 심장무게 변화는 모든 실험군에서 실험기간에 비례하여 증가하였다. 일상 대조군에 비해 운동군에서 유의한 증가를 보였다. 모세혈관과 근섬유 비율은 일상 대조군에서는 유의한 변화가 없었고, 운동군에서는 운동 4주일 이후부터 유의한 증가를 보였다. Cytochrome oxidase C 활성율은 일상 대조군에서는 유의한 변화가 없었고, 운동군에서는 운동 1주일 이후부터 유의한 증가를 보였다. 사립체에 CO활성 형태는 일상 대조군에서는 I형과 III형이, 운동군에서는 실험기간에 비례해서는 II형과 III형이 많이 관찰되었다. 이상과 같은 실험결과들을 미루어볼 때 Treadmill 운동결과 CO의 활성과 심근섬유와 모세혈관의 비율이 운동에 의해 변화를 보여, 흰쥐의 심근에서는 treadmill 운동은 약 4주 정도에서 심장의 적응성이 어느 정도 이루어지는 것으로 사료된다.

Normal group was normal control, Control group was injected i.v. with 2mg/kg MTX on 9th and 11th day after sensitization with SRBC on 5th day, Sakunjatang aqua-acupunctured group(Sample A) was aqua-acupunctured daily for 18 days into the locus corresponding Bisu(B20) locus of the human body to Rat and MTX was administered 9th and 11th experimental day, Samultang aqua-acupunctured group(Sample B) was aqua-acupunctured daily for 18 days into the locus coresponding Bisu(B20) locus of the human body to Rat and MTX was administered 9th and 11th experimental day. In the 9th day and the 11th day after aqua-acupuncture, MTX was injected to reduce immune function in the tail of rat. leukocyte count, lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte count of spleen, lymphocyte count of bonemarrow, contact hypersensitivity to DNFB, morphologic change of thymus cell, and electropherogram of serum protein. The result were summarized as follows: 1. Before MTX injection, leukocyte count had no significant difference in Sakunjatang aqua-acupunctured group and Samultang aqua-acupunctured group compared to control group and after MTX injection, leukocyte count had no significant difference Sakunjatang aqua-acupunctured group and Samultang aqua-acupunctured group. 2. Before MTX injection, lymphocyte ratio was decreased significantly Sakunjatang aqua-acupunctured group and Samultang aqua-acupunctured group compared to control group. 3. After MTX injection, lymphocyte ratio was increased significantly Sakunjatang aqua-acupunctured group, Samultang aqua-acupunctured group had no significant difference compared to control group. 4. The lymphocyte count of spleen was increased significantly Sakunjatang aqua-acupunctured group and Samultang aqua-acupunctured group compared to control group. 5. The lymphocyte count of bonemarrow was increased significantly Sakunjatang aqua-acupunctured group, Samultang aqua-acupunctured group had no significant difference compared to control group. 6. Contact hypersensitivity was no significant difference in Sakunjatang aqua-acupunctured group and Samultang aqua-acupunctured group compared to control group. 7. In the morphologic change of thymus cell, control group compared to normal group had a indistinct boundary between cortex and medulla, and lymphocyte cell density of thymus was low, Sakunjatang aqua-acupuryctured group had a distinct boundary between cortex and medulla, and lymphocyte cell density of thymus was high. 8. In the SDS-PAGE electrophorogram of serum protein, Sakunjatang aqua-acupunctured group and Samultang aqua-acupunctured group had a wide band of nearby 50,000 and 25,000 Dalton which meant IgG generate more activity.

To evaluate the possible therapeutic effects of growth hormone and vitamin C on multiorgan failure, a rat model was developed for LPS-induced sepsis. Using this model, the effects of growth hormone and vitamin C on tissue damages, catalase and i-NOS activities, and MDA levels were examined in the lung and liver. The level of TNF- in plasm was also examined. Male, Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with LPS intraperitoneally then divided into 3 groups : positive controls injected with LPS only, the ones injected with growth hormone or vitamin C immediately after the LPS injections. The lung and the liver were then isolated, blood samples were collected at 24 or 48 hours after the LPS injection, then examined for histopathological and biochemical changes. The results obtained were as follows. 1. LPS induced sinusoid vasodilation and mild destruction of lobular structure in the liver. In the lung, alveolar structure appeared to be thickened and interstitial edema was observed. The levels of MDA in the liver and the lung was increased by LPS, while the activity of catalase was decreased. The activity of i-NOS of those tissues was also increased, which was more pronounced at 24 hr. The level of TNF- in plasm was increased by LPS 2. In the lung, vitamin C suppressed lymphocyte and neutrophil infiltration, alveolar wall thickening and interstitial edema. In the liver, vitamin C protected against the destruction of the lobular structure. The activity of catalase reduced by LPS was reversed partly by vitamin C. The activity of i-NOS enhanced by LPS was also reversed by vitamin C. The level of TNF- in plasm reduced in some animals by vitamin C, which however was not significant statistically(p<0.05). 3. Growth hormone showed similar protective effects against inflammation and damages in the liver and lung tissues. Growth hormone reversed partly the LPS effects on the level of MDA, the activity of catalase and i-NOS induction in the liver and the lung. Growth hormone reduced plasma level of TNF-${\alpha}$ substantially, which contrasted from vitamin C. Besides this, overall protective effects of growth hormone against LPS-induced experimental sepsis were similar to those of vitamin C. From this results, the mechanism of growth hormone on suppression of LPS-induced tissue damage might be associated with production of antioxidative enzyme and suppression of plasma TNF- level.

Purpose: The carrier used as delivery agent for bone morphogenetic proteins(BMPs) should also act as a scaffold for new bone formation. Moreover, bone formation should be predictable in terms of the volume and shape. This study examined the osteogenic effect of macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate (MBCP) block combined with ePTFE membrane as a carrier for recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteins (rhBMP-2). In addition, the additive effect of ePTFE membrane on bone formation was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Eight-millimeter critical sized calvarial defects were created surgically in 28 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were divided into 2 groups containing 14 animals each. The defects were treated with either rhBMP-2/MBCP block (rhBMP-2/MBCP group) or rhBMP-2/MBCP block/ePTFE membrane (rhBMP-2/MBCP/ePTFE group). A disc-shaped MBCP block (3 mm height and 8 mm diameter) was used as the carrier for the rhBMP-2 and ePTFE membrane was used to cover the rhBMP-2/MBCP block. The histologic and histometric parameters were used to evaluate the defects after 2- or 8-week healing period (7 animals/group/healing interval). Results: The level of bone formation in the defects of both groups was significantly higher at 8 weeks than that at 2 weeks (P < 0.05). The ePTFE membrane has no additional effect compared with the rhBMP-2/MBCP block only. However, at 8 weeks, rhBMP-2/MBCP/ePTFE group showed more even bone formation on the top of the MBCP block than the rhBMP-2/MBCP group. Conclusion: These results suggest that the ePTFE membrane has no additive effect on bone formation when a MBCP block is used as a carrier for rhBMP-2.

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70)은 다양한 질병상태와 치명적인 열 손상에서 세포 및 조직을 보호하는데 중요한 역할을 하며, 또한 외부의 stress로부터 세포내 단백질의 파괴와 변화를 감소시키는 단백질로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 오랜 기간 동안 조혈기관의 치료제로 콩팥에서도 세포보호효과가 있는 것으로 알려진 Erythropoietin(EPO)을 투여하여 콩팥내의 HSP70의 발현변화를 세포수준에서 관찰하고자 하였다. Sprague-Dawley계 흰쥐를 사용하여 전자현미경적 면역조직화학법으로 rHuEPO투여군과 대조군에서 HSP70의 발현변화를 관찰하였다. 대조군에서 HSP70은 콩팥의 바깥수질과 속수질에서 관찰되었으며, 특히 속수질에서 강하게 발현되었고 그 부위는 속수질집합관세포와 헨레고리의 내림가는 부분이었다. EPO 투여군에서는 속수질과 바깥수질의 내림가는 부분에서는 발현변화가 관찰되지 않았으나, 바깥수질의 집합관 세포에서 발현이 급격히 증가함을 관찰되었다. 특히 대조군에서의 핵주변부위뿐 아니라 세포내 핵상부분을 비롯한 세포막주변부위에도 강한 면역 염색성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 콩팥의 바깥수질에서 stress성 단백질인 HSP70의 조절기전이 EPO에 의해 매개됨을 보여주면, 세포 stress및 질병상태에서도 이러한 기전이 작용할 것으로 생각된다.

Capsaicin의 중추신경계에 대한 진통효과를 척수 수준에서 규명하고, 이에 대한 norepinephrine (NE)계의 역할을 규명하기 위하여 tail flick reflex (TFR) latency time의 증가와 척수 내 NE 양의 변화를 측정하였다. 웅성의 Sprague-Dawley 백서를 pentobarbital sodium으로 마취를 하여 femoral vein cannulation과 intrathecal catheterization을 하였고, 이를 통하여 시험약제를 투여하였다. TFR은 capsaicin 또는 용매 투여전, 투여후 10분, 30분, 60분, 때로는 2시간에 측정하였다. MK-801은 capsaicin 투여전 20분에 femoral vein을 통하여 주입하였다. $35{\sim}150{\mu}g$의 capsaicin을 intrathecal로 주었을 때, TFR latency가 최고치인 7초를 넘어 정상인 2.9초에 비해 100% 이상의 증가를 보였고, 척수 내 NE은 16 ng/mg protein에서 7 ng/mg protein으로 50% 이상 감소하였다. 이와 같은 TFR latency의 증가와 NE의 감소는 전 실험기간 (capsaicin 투여후 2시간)에 걸쳐 관찰되었다. 반면, 50mg/kg의 capsaicin을 피하로 전신투여 하였을 경우에 척수 NE은 같은 변화를 보였으나 TFR latency의 차이는 없었다. 또한, 0.5 mg/kg의 MK-801를 i.v.로 전처치 하였을 때, intrathecal capsaicin에 의한 TFR latency의 증가와 척수 내 NE의 감소가 모두 억제되었다. 이상의 결과는 capsain이 excitatory aminoacid (EAA)계 - NE계 - 척수 dorsal horn으로 이루어진 동통전달의 하행성 억제계 축의 활성을 항진시켜 진통효과를 가져옴을 보여준다. 또한, capsaicin의 피하 주사시에 진통효과를 볼 수 없음을 말초 동통전달신경의 흥분에 의한 중추 동통전달계 환성의 촉진이 진통 효과를 상쇄함을 암시한다.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease and is led to physical disability. Yet the development of effective disease-modifying treatments has lagged. In this study, I examined the effect of physical therapeutic intervention through microcurrent stimulation and attempt to find which degree of intensity, either 25 ${\mu}A$ or 500 ${\mu}A$ with a regular 5 pps pulse, is more effective in the osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis was induced with a mixture of 2% carrageenan and 2% kaolin in 26 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The mixture (0.1 $m{\ell}$) was injected into the intra-articular capsule of knee joint once a week for three weeks. Five animals did not show degenerative changes by radiological findings and excluded in the following experiment. Osteoarthritic animals were randomly divided into 3 groups ($n_1$, $n_2$, $n_3$=7/each): untreated, treated with 25 ${\mu}A$, treated with 500 ${\mu}A$. All experimental groups received microcurrent stimulation for four weeks (15 min/day, 5 days/week). The ethological inspection of foot print analysis on the walking corridor was accomplished every week. Histological preparations and immunohistochemical staining with insulin-like growth factor-1 were also done in the articular cartilages. All of these parameters were compared with those of osteoarthritic control group (n=7). The ethological inspection of foot print analysis revealed that changes of walking track (paw width) and stride length was significantly increased in both experimental groups. The better results were observed in experimental group treated with 25 ${\mu}A$ intensity without significance than group treated with 500 ${\mu}A$. Histological preparations disclosed that routine hyaline cartilage of articular surface were altered to fibrous cartilage in untreated group and experimental group treated with 500 ${\mu}A$ intensity. But a little changes were seen in experimental group treated with 25 ${\mu}A$ intensity. Immunolocalization of insulin-like growth factor-1 was simultaneously decreased according to the duration of osteoarthritis, and did not show significant difference among the groups. In this study discovered that the microcurrent stimulation, especially 25 ${\mu}A$ intensity, had a positive effect by the ethological inspection, histological and immunohistochemical stainings. These results suggest that microcurrent stimulation with low-intensity might be effective in the promotion of healing process for the osteoarthritis.

The occlusal interference during adolescent period makes some effects on growth and development and morphological changes. And so, if we could predict the the timing and results of orthodontic treatment who have occlusal interference during adolescent period, it may be helpful for diagnosis and treatment planning of orthodontic treatment. For about those, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the posterolateral displacement by the metal casting crown with inclined pathway on the mandibular condyle and morphologic changes of mandible in the rat. The experimental animals were thirty six Sprague-Dawley male rats of 8 weeks old. Eight of them was used as control group, and experimental group 1 ( continuous appliance wearing group ) was composed of sixteen and experimental group 2 ( appliance removal group after worn the appliances during 3 months ) was composed of remaining twelve. The animals of experimental grouop 1 were sacrificed after 1, 2, 3, 6 months from beginning of the experiment and experimental group 2 were sacrificed 1, 2, 3 months after removal of the appliance from worn the appliance during 3 months. Both of mandible and temporomandibular joint were observed histologically and radiologically. The results were as follows : 1. In experimental group 1, the mandibular length and lower posterior height were decreased with experimental period, while the lower anterior height was increased, and the curvature of lower incisors and lingual inclination of anterior alveolar bone were profound as compared with control group. 2. In experimental group 1, both of the thickness of the condylar cartilage were thinned in the posterosuperior region, and this phenomenon was more prominent on right than left in 3-Mo experimental period and both sides were marked thinned in 6-Mo experimental period. 3. In experimental group 2, the lower anterior height was low and lower posterior height was high as compared with experimental group 1, and the curvature of lower incisors and lingual inclination of anterior alveolar bone were recovered to control group. 4. In experimental group 2, both of the thickness of the condylar cartilage were thickened in the posterosuperior region, and this phenomenon was more prominent with experimental period. 5. In experimental group 2, the mandibular length was short, lower anterior height was hight, the curvature of lower incisors were profound, and in histologically, both of the thickness of the condylar cartilage were thickened in the posterosuperior region as compared with control group. As shown above, the occlusal interfemce affected the condylar cartilage, curvature of lower incisor, inclination of anterior alveolar bone, mandibular length, and anterior and posterior height. When the interference was removed, significant recover was found in condylar cartilage, mandibular length, and posterior height. Although no significance was found, other items of measurement showed trends for recovery.
