연구목적: 본 연구는 hyaluronic acid (HA)를 poly (D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)에 적용하여 새로 개발된 차폐막들을 실험군으로, 차폐막이 사용되지 않은 조건과 시중에 사용 중인 collagen membrane ($Ossix^{TM}$)을 이용한 조건을 대조군으로 하여, 토끼 두개골에 형성된 골 결손부에 4, 8, 12주간 적용하고 조직학적인 관찰을 함으로써 골 재생 능력을 비교 평가하고자 한다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 12마리의 웅성 가토 두개골에, 6 mm 직경의 골 결손부를 4개씩 형성하였다. 각각의 결손부는 5가지 중 하나의 차폐막으로 덮여졌다; No-membrane, Collagen, PLGA, HA-coated-PLGA, HA-PLGA/PLGA. 4주, 8주, 그리고 12주 후 두개골을 절단하여H-E 염색한 후 조직학적 분석을 하였다. 결과: 본 연구에서, 차폐막을 사용하지 않은 군에서 골형성은 12주 후에 나타났으며, 골 결손부를 일부 채우고 있었다. 신생골은 하방의 뇌경막을 따라 형성되었고 결손부의 상부는 결합조직과 지방으로 채워져 있었다. 콜라겐 차폐막인 $Ossix^{TM}$는 4주 후부터 신생골을 보였으며 신생골은 차폐막을 따라 형성되어 있었고 12주 까지 차폐막이 유지되었다. PLGA, HA-coated-PLGA, HA-PLGA/PLGA는 4주 후부터 골 재생을 보이고 8주 후에 결손부를 전반적으로 채우고 있다. 12주에는 기존 골과 구분이 되지 않으며 잘 융합되어 있음을 알 수 있다. 차폐막은 4주 후부터 명확히 구분되지 않고 흡수되어 있었다. 결론:PLGA와 HA-coated-PLGA, HA-PLGA/PLGA는 대조군에 비해 골의 형성이 빠르고 성숙 또한 빠르게 나타났으나, HA의 적용에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았으며 4주 후부터 흡수되어 차폐막으로써 임상에서 사용하기 위해서는 흡수기간을 연장하여 조절 가능하도록 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

의료용 고분자 PLGA는 높은 생체적합성, 생분해성, 기계적 특성, 생체안정성을 가지고 있으며, 단량체 수량을 조절함으로서 분해기간을 조절할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 상전이법을 이용하여 제조된 분자량과 L/D 타입 구성비가 다른 PLGA 멤브레인들을 인산완충생리식염수 하에서 멤브레인의 분자량과 용액의 온도 조건에 따른 생분해 특성을 유추하기 위하여 질량 변화와 용액의 pH값 측정하였으며, DSC와 실사현미경을 이용하여 Tg와 표면구조의 변화을 파악하였다. PLGA의 분자량이 증가할수록 가수분해속도는 기하급수적으로 감소하고 있으며, L/D 타입 구성비에 따라 분해속도와 용액 pH변화의 차이가 크게 나타났다.

Monodispersed microparticles with a poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) core and a poly(ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate) (PE2CA) shell were prepared by Shirasu porous glass (SPG) membrane emulsification to reduce the initial burst release of doxorubicin (DOX). Solution mixtures with different weight ratios of PLGA polymer and E2CA monomer were permeated under pressure through an SPG membrane with $1.9\;{\mu}m$ pore size into a continuous water phase with sodium lauryl sulfate as a surfactant. Core-shell structured microparticles were formed by the mechanism of anionic interfacial polymerization of E2CA and precipitation of both polymers. The average diameter of the resulting microparticles with various PLGA:E2CA ratios ranged from 1.42 to $2.73\;{\mu}m$. The morphology and core-shell structure of the microparticles were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The DOX release profiles revealed that the microparticles with an equivalent PLGA:E2CA weight ratio of 1:1 exhibited the optimal condition to reduce the initial burst of DOX. The initial release rate of DOX was dependent on the PLGA:E2CA ratio, and was minimized at a 1:1 ratio.

The purpose of this study was to compare clinical results of guided tissue regeneration(GTR) using either a nonresorbable ePTFE membrane or a resorbable membrane made from a synthetic copolymer of glycolide and lactide(PLGA) in the treatment of human class Ⅱ furcation defects. The ePTEE membranes were applied to 16 patients with maxillary molar buccal class Ⅱ furcation defects as Group I, PLGA membranes were applied to 15 patients with maxillary molar buccal class Ⅱ furcation defects as Group Ⅱ, ePTFE membranes were applied to 20 patients with mandibular molar buccal class Ⅱ furcation defects as Group Ⅲ and PLGA membranes were applied to 20 patients with mandibular molar buccal class Ⅱ furcation defects as Group Ⅳ and bone graft materials(DFDBA) were applied in all groups. Probing depth, gingival recession, clinical attachment level, tooth mobility and sulcus bleeding index(SBI) were measured at baseline, 3, 6 and 12months postoperatively. In addition, membrane exposure levels were measured at surgery, 1, 2 and 6weeks postoperatively and postoperative complications were evaluated. The results were as follows: In all groups, there were statistically significant differences in probing depth reduction, gain of clinical attachment and mobility reduction at values of 3, 6 and 12months postoperatively compared to values of baseline, whereas no significant differences in SBI except Group I and gingival recession(p<0.05). Membrane exposure levels were increased at 1, 2 and 6weeks postopratively compared to value of baseline in Group I(p<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between ePTFE and PLGA membrane in probing depth, clinical attachment level and SBI. There were minimal gingival recession and membrane exposure in Group Ⅳ and pain and swelling were the most common postoperative complications in Group Ⅱ, Ⅲ(p<0.05). In conclusion, this study showed that both nonresorbable membrane and resorbable membrane were effective similarly in the treatment of class Ⅱ furcation defects, without statistical differences in clinical measurements.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the local tissue reactions associated with 3 different poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) prototype membranes and to compare them to the reactions associated with commercially available resorbable membranes in rats. Methods: Seven different membranes-3 synthetic PLGA prototypes (T1, T2, and T3) and 4 commercially available membranes (a PLGA membrane, a poly[lactic acid] membrane, a native collagen membrane, and a cross-linked collagen membrane)-were randomly inserted into 6 unconnected subcutaneous pouches in the backs of 42 rats. The animals were sacrificed at 4, 13, and 26 weeks. Descriptive histologic and histomorphometric assessments were performed to evaluate membrane degradation, visibility, tissue integration, tissue ingrowth, neovascularization, encapsulation, and inflammation. Means and standard deviations were calculated. Results: The histological analysis revealed complete integration and tissue ingrowth of PLGA prototype T1 at 26 weeks. In contrast, the T2 and T3 prototypes displayed slight to moderate integration and tissue ingrowth regardless of time point. The degradation patterns of the 3 synthetic prototypes were similar at 4 and 13 weeks, but differed at 26 weeks. T1 showed marked degradation at 26 weeks, whereas T2 and T3 displayed moderate degradation. Inflammatory cells were present in all 3 prototype membranes at all time points, and these membranes did not meaningfully differ from commercially available membranes with regard to the extent of inflammatory cell infiltration. Conclusions: The 3 PLGA prototypes, particularly T1, induced favorable tissue integration, exhibited a similar degradation rate to native collagen membranes, and elicited a similar inflammatory response to commercially available non-cross-linked resorbable membranes. The intensity of inflammation associated with degradable dental membranes appears to relate to their degradation kinetics, irrespective of their material composition.

This study was designed to compare the effects of treatment using chitosan membrane $(Nanogide-C^{(R)})$ resorbable barrier with control treated by polylactic acid/polylacticglycolic acid membrane(PLA/PLGA membrane, $Biomesh^{(R)}$). 44 furcation defecs from 44 patients with class 2 furcation degree were used for this study, 22 sites of them were treated by chitosan membrane as experimental group and 22 site were treated by PLA/PLGA membrane as control group. Clinical parameters including probing depth, gingival recession, attachment level and radiographic examination were evlauated at base line, 1 month, 2 month and 3 month. after surgery. Statistical test used to analyze these data included paired t-test, one way ANOVA. The results are as follows : 1. Probing depth was significanlly decreased in the two group and there were significant differences between groups(p<0.05). 2. Gingival recession was not significanlly increased in the two group and there were no significant differences between groups(p<0.05). 3. Loss of attachment was statistically decreased in the two group and there were no significant differences between groups(p<0.05). 4. Horizontal bone level was significanlly increased in the two group and there were significant differences between groups(p<0.05). On the basis of these results, chitoans resorbable membrane has similar potential to PLA/PLGA membrane in GTR for furcation defect.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate histologically the resorption and tissue response of various resorbale membranes used for guided tissue regneration procedures, using a subcutaneous model on the dorsal surface of the rat. In this study, 12 Sprague-Dawley male rats(mean BW 150gm) were used and the commercially available materials included dense collagen membrane, freeze-dried bovine dura mater loos collagen membrane, PLA/PLGA membrane. Animals were sacrificed at 3, 6 and 8 weeks after implantation of various resorbable membranes. Specimens were prepared with Hematoxylin-Eosin stain for light microscopic evaluation. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Resorption : Loose collagen membrane group was resorbed most rapidly. Dense collagen membrane group and freeze-dried bovine dura mater group were rarely resorbed. 2. Inflammatory reactions : PLA/PLGA membrane group showed persistent and severe inflammatory reactions for 3 to 8 weeks. Moderate inflammatory reactions and the ectopic formation of calcified material were observed in dense collagen membrane group. Freeze-dried bovine dura mater group and loose collagen membrane group showed mild inflammatory reactions 3. In PLA/PLGA membrane group, multinucleated giant cells by foreign body reactions were observed. In conclusion, the resorption of freeze-dried bovine dura mater didn't happen for 3-6weeks, which showed the best bio-compatibility. Therefore, freeze-dried bovine dura mater was considered proper resorbable membrane for guided tissue regeneration.
