In this work a PMTA(poly m-phenylene terephthal amide) polymer was synthesized by using new solvent to produce film composite. This Film composite membrane based on PMTA were prepared with 1,3-phenylenediamine(MPD), terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) and Co-solvent (NMP with added $CaCl_2$) was adopted for synthesize PMTA polymer. A series of synthetic experiments were done, aimed to find the optimum condition of polymerization.

Purpose: This study sought to compare the elemental constitution, morphological characteristics, particle size distribution, biocompatibility, and mineralization potential of Ortho MTA (OMTA) and ProRoot MTA (PMTA). Materials and Methods: OMTA and PMTA were compared using energy-dispersive spectrometry, particle size analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The biocompatibility and mineralization-related gene expression (osteonectin and osteopontin) of both MTAs were also compared using methylthiazol tetrazolium assay and reverse transcription-polymerization chain reaction analysis, respectively. The results were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test with Bonferroni correction. P-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Result: The morphology of OMTA powders was similar to that of PMTA. The constituent elements of both MTAs were calcium, silicon, and aluminum. The mean particle sizes of OMTA and PMTA were 4.60 and 3.34 mm, respectively. Both MTAs had equally favorable in vitro biocompatibility and affected the messenger RNA expression of osteonectin and osteopontin. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, OMTA could be a promising biomaterial in clinical endodontics.

Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of newly proposed root-end filling materials, Biodentine, Micro-Mega mineral trioxide aggregate (MM-MTA), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement, and Smart Dentin Replacement (SDR), in comparison with contemporary root-end filling materials, intermediate restorative material (IRM), Dyract compomer, ProRoot MTA (PMTA), and Vitrebond, using human periodontal ligament (hPDL) fibroblasts. Materials and Methods: Ten discs from each material were fabricated in sterile Teflon molds and 24-hour eluates were obtained from each root-end filling material in cell culture media after 1- or 3-day setting. hPDL fibroblasts were plated at a density of $5{\times}10^3/well$, and were incubated for 24 hours with 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, and 1:8 dilutions of eluates. Cell viability was evaluated by XTT assay. Data was statistically analysed. Apoptotic/necrotic activity of PDL cells exposed to material eluates was established by flow cytometry. Results: The Vitrebond and IRM were significantly more cytotoxic than the other root-end filling materials (p < 0.05). Those cells exposed to the Biodentine and Dyract compomer eluates showed the highest survival rates (p < 0.05), while the PMTA, MM-MTA, SDR, and PMMA groups exhibited similar cell viabilities. Three-day samples were more cytotoxic than 1-day samples (p < 0.05). Eluates from the cements at 1:1 dilution were significantly more cytotoxic (p < 0.05). Vitrebond induced cell necrosis as indicated by flow cytometry. Conclusions: This in vitro study demonstrated that Biodentine and Compomer were more biocompatible than the other root-end filling materials. Vitrebond eluate caused necrotic cell death.

포유류의 난자가 수란관내로 배란될 때는 난포액 성분도 같이 수란관내로 들어간다. 본 연구에서는 처음으로 난포액의 일부 성분이 수란관액에 의해서 변화하는 것을 관찰하였다. 사람의 난포액을 gelatin zymogram으로 분석한 결과 621kDa gelatinase 이외에 110kDa gelatinase (GA110) 등의 여러 gelatinase 활성이 나타났다. 이 활성들은 EDTA나 phenanthroline에 의해 억제된 반면 PMSF 처리에 의해서는 아무런 변화가 없었다. 소의 수란관액에서는 62kDa gelatinase의 활성만이 주로 관찰되었다. 소의 수란관 액과 사람의 난포액을 1:1로 섞고 이를 37$^{\circ}$C에서 3시간 동안 둔 결과 사람의 난포액의 GA110 활성은 사라졌다. 사람의 난포액에 APMA를 첨가한 결과 GA110의 활성은 대부분 감소하고 대신 62kDa gelatinase의 활성은 오히려 증가하였다. 반면에 사람의 난포액에 EDTA를 3시간 동안 처리한 결과 GA110의 활성은 오히려 현저히 증가하였고 이 때 다른 gelatinases의 활성은 영향을 받지 않았다. PMSF나SBTI는 난포액내의 gelatinases활성에 아무런 변화를 일으키지 않았다. EDTA, PMTA 혹은 SBTI 등의 proteinase inhibitor를 미리 처리한 사람의 난포액에 소의 수란관 내액을 섞은 경우에도GA110의 활성은 여전히 감소하였다. 사람의 혈청에서도 EDTA에 의해 활성이 현저히 증가하는 GA110이 발견되었다. 사람의 난포액과 유사하게 혈청내의 GA110도 소의 수란관액에 의하여 활성이 사라졌다. 그러나 사람의 난포과립세포의 추출물에서는 단지 92kDa gelatinase만 관찰이 되었다. 마지막으로 anti-human gelatinase A 항체를 사용하여 사람의 난포액과 혈청 그리고 난포과립세포의 추출액을 western blotting한 결과 621kDa과 GA110 만이 항원-항체 반응을 나타내었다. 이 같은 결과로 미루어 사람의 난포액과 혈청에는 gelatinase A의 독특한 isoform인 GA110이 있으며 특히 난포액내의 GA110은 수란관액성분에 의해 선택적으로 분해되는 것으로 여겨진다.
