This study investigated the antibacterial activities of sophoraflavanone G from Sophora flavescens in combination with two antimicrobial agents against oral bacteria. The combined effect of sophoraflavanone G and the antimicrobial agents was evaluated using the checkerboard method to obtain a fractional inhibitory concentration(FIC) index. The sophoraflavanone G+ampicillin(AM) combination was found to have a synergistic effect against S. mutans, S. sanguinis, S. sobrinus, S. gordonii, A. actinomycetemcomitans, F nucleatum, P. intermedia, and P. gingivalis, whereas the sophoraflavanone G+gentamicin(GM) combination had a synergistic effect against S. sanguinis, S. criceti, S. anginosus, A. actinomycetemcomitans, F nucleatum, P. intermedia, and P. gingivalis. Neither combination exhibited any antagonistic interactions(FIC index>4). In particular, the MICs/MBCs for all the bacteria were reduced to one-half$\sim$one-sixteenth as a result of the drug combinations. A synergistic interaction was also confirmed by time-kill studies for nine bacteria where the checkerboard suggested synergy. Thus, a strong bactericidal effect was exerted through the drug combinations, plus in vitro data suggested that sophoraflavanone G combined with other antibiotics may be microbiologically beneficial rather than antagonistic.

Background Iron overload is a risk factor affecting all patients with thalassemia intermedia (TI). We aimed to determine whether there is a relationship of serum ferritin (SF) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) with liver iron concentration (LIC) determined by R2 magnetic resonance imaging (R2-MRI), to estimate the most relevant degree of iron overload and best time to chelate in patients with TI. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 119 patients with TI (mean age years) were randomly selected and compared with 120 patients who had a diagnosis of thalassemia major (TM). Correlations of LIC, as determined by R2-MRI, with SF and ALT levels, were assessed in all participants. A P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results SF and LIC levels were lower in patients with TI than in those with TM; only ferritin values were significant. We found a statistically significant relationship between SF and LIC, with cut-off estimates of SF in patients with TI who had splenectomy and those who entered puberty spontaneously (916 and 940 ng/mL, respectively) with LIC >5 mg Fe/g dry weight (P<0.0001). A significant relationship was also found for patients with TI who had elevated ALT level (63.5 U/L), of 3.15 times the upper normal laboratory limit, using a cut-off for LIC ${\geq}5mg\;Fe/g\;dry\;weight$. Conclusion We determined the cut-off values for ALT and SF indicating the best time to start iron chelation therapy in patients with TI, and found significant correlations among iron overload, SF, and ALT.

The 16S rRNA analyzing method is a bacterial identification method that is useful in identifying bacteria which is difficult to do by other means. The following 7 types of bacteria which are Treponema, A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, Fusobacterium, B. forsythus, P. intermedia, P. micros were evaluated in order to study their distribution among patients with adult periodontitis. The 16S rRNA analyzing method was used to compare bacterial distribution among 3 groups. Subgingival plaque acquired from the affected sites(pocket depth ${\geq}6mm$) of 29 patients with adult periodontitis were grouped as the experimental group while plaque from the non-affected sites(pocket depth ${\leq}3mm$) were grouped as control 2 and finally plaque acquired from students with healthy periodontal tissues were grouped as control 1. The results are as follows ; 1. The distribution of Treponema was 12.5% for control 1, 21.4% for control 2 and 75.4% for the experimental group. For A. actinomycetemcomitans the distribution was 0.5%, 19.0%, 44.4% in respect to the order of groups mentioned above. P.gingivalis showed 10.5%, 43.1%, 94.0% distribution, Fusobacterium 33.0%, 48.3%, 81.0% distribution, B. forsythus 9.5%, 17.2%, 65.9% distribution, P. intermedia 1.0%, 12.1%, 26.3% distribution and finally P. micros 5.0%, 19.0%, 48.7% respectively. In all 7 types of bacteria, the experimental group showed higher bacterial distribution compared to the other two groups with statistically significant difference. 2. In the case of Treponema, A. actinomycetemcomitans, gingivalis,Fusobacterium, B. forsythus, P. intermedia, P. micros showed significant difference between control 1 and 2. These results suggest that the 16S rRNA analyzing method which was applied on Koreans for the first time could be utilized and useful in finding potential pathogens of periodontal disease.

The purpose of this study was to an in estimate the antibiotic susceptibility of P. gingivalis and P. interrnedia isolate from the subgingival plaque to adult periodontitis. Six P. gingivalis and five P. intermedia bacterial strains were tested for their susceptibility to 10 antimicrobial agents under disc diffusion method and broth dilution method. Ten patients with deep pocket(6mm) were selected for this study. They had not taken antibiotics for 6 months and no history of dental treatment for 6 months before this study. The result were as follow : 1. For antibiotic disc diffusion method, six P. gingivalis and five P. interrnedia were tested with 10 antimicrobial agents which comprised penicillin, gentamycin, clindamycin, lincomycin, ampicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline, amikacin, chloramphenicol, vancomycin. The sensitive antibiotics were tetracycline, penicillin, ampicillin, vancomycin, chloramphenicol and resisitent antibiotics were lincomycin. The other antimicrobial agents were less active. 2. From the study of determination on the minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) by broth dilution method, the MIC of tetracycline to P. gingivalis and P. intermedia were $0.5-1.0{\mu}g/ml$, $0.5{\mu}g/ml$, that of ampicillin were $1-8{\mu}g/ml$, that of clindamycin were $1-32{\mu]g/ml$, $8-16{\mu}g/ml$, that of lincomycin were $16-32{\mu}g/ml$, $2-32{\mu}g/ml$. These data suggest that tetracycline and ampicillin may be valuable drug in the elemination of P. gingivalis and P. interrnedia from the patients with adult periodontitis.

Peri-implantitis is a disease affecting the tissue surrounding dental implants, destroying both soft and hard tissues. A total of 2,015 studies were collected by searching items in the National Library of Medicine, including keywords, such as "peri-implantitis," "microbiota," and "microbiome." Of them, 62 studies were screened and considered eligible for analysis. Only 16 studies qualified all criteria mentioned here: "Using PCR methods for microorganism detection," "Suggesting quantified results," "Stating obvious clinical diagnosis criteria ("Bleeding on probing," "Probing pocket depth," "Suppuration," and "Radiographic bone loss")." Only 8 studies were included in the meta-analysis because the others had special issues. Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia, and Epstein-Barr virus were the microbiological subjects of analysis. The odds ratio (OR) between the healthy implants and peri-implantitis were calculated for each microorganism to compare two groups, and the forest plots were suggested as the visual materials. P. gingivalis (1.392 < OR < 2.841), T. forsythia (1.345 < OR < 3.221), T. denticola (2.180 < OR < 5.150), A. actinomycetemcomitans (1.975 < OR < 6.456), P. intermedia (1.245 < OR < 3.612), and Epstein-Barr virus (1.995 < OR < 9.383). The species showed that their 95% confidence interval of odds ratio was higher than 1, indicating that they were detected more frequently in periimplantitis than in healthy implants. Meanwhile, other species, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Staphylococcus aureus, were not included in the meta-analysis because the number of studies was insufficient.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of 7 putative pathogens in endodontic infections. The specimens were collected from infected pulpal tissue of patients who were referred for root canal treatment to the department of conservative dentistry, Chosun University Samples were collected aseptically using a barbed broach and a paper point. The cut barbed broaches and paper points were transferred to an eppendorf tube containing 500 ml of 1 X PBS. DNAs were extracted from the samples by direct DNA extraction method using lysis buffer (0.5% EDTA, 1% Triton X-100). Identification of 7 putative pathogens was performed by PCR based on 16S rDNA. The target species were as follows : Porphyromonas endodontalis, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella nigrescens, Bacteroides forsythus, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, and Treponema denticola. Our data revealed that the prevalence of P. endodontalis was found in 88.6% (39/54), P. ginivalis 52.3% (23/44), P. nigrescens 18.2% (8/44), P intermedia 15.9% (7/44) B. forsythus 18.2% (8/44), A. actinomycetemcomitans 3.3% (1/44), T. denticola 25% (l1/44) of the samples. The high prevalence of P. endodontalis and P. ginivalis suggests that they may play an important role in the etiology of endodontic infections.

소아에서 치주 병원균의 조기 집락은 향후 치주 질환으로 발전될 위험 인자로 작용할 수 있으므로 원인균의 조기 진단과 예방이 최선의 치료라 할 수 있다. 이 연구는 치주적으로 건강한 어린이와 청소년에서 타액과 치태를 채취하고, PCR을 사용하여 주요 치주 질환 원인균 5종의 분포 정도를 조사하였으며, 나아가 타액과 치태의 검출 차이를 비교 분석하였다. A. actinomycetemcomitans와 P. intermedia는 고등학생(만17세)에서, T. forsythia와 F. nucleatum는 초등학생(만8세)에서 가장 많이 검출되었다. 반면, P. gingivalis는 모든 대상에서 발견되지 않았다. 그리고 치은연상치태보다 타액에서 유의하게 검출이 더 잘 된 것으로 나타났다. 치주 병원균이 상대적으로 더 많이 검출된 청소년기에서는 치주 질환 예방을 위한 구강위생교육이 더욱 강화될 필요가 있으며, 치주 질환의 조기진단 및 관련 연구에 있어서 타액은 보다 유용한 도구가 될 것이라 사료된다.
