결합 조직의 대사를 억제하고, 골조직이나 골세포의 골기질 대사 역시 억제하는 것으로 알려져 있는 $Interferon-\gamma(IFN-\gamma)$의 교정치료에의 이용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여, 교정력에 의한 골 개조 과정에서 중심적 역할을 하는 것으로 알려진 치주인대 세포를 primary culture하여 배양된 세포에 $IFN-\gamma$를 투여함으로써 이것이 골조직 기질의 합성능에 미치는 영향에 대하여 관찰하였다. $IFN-\gamma$는 세포의 DNA합성능을 약하게 증가시켰으며, 세포내 DNA 총량에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서 이 실험에서 사용한 용량의 $IFN-\gamma$는 세포에 독성이 없다고 할 수 있으며, 다른 결합조직 세포에서 나타나는 항증식 효과와는 반대되는 결과였다. $IFN-\gamma$는 비교원성 단백질(NCP)의 합성을 증가시키는 양상을 나타내었으나, 교원질(CDP)의 합성은 감소시키는 경향을 보여, 총단백질에 대한 교원질의 합성비율은 $IFN-\gamma$에 의해 용량 의존적으로 감소하였다. 또한 교원질의 mRNA양은 단백질 합성과 유관하게 $IFN-\gamma$에 의해 억제되었다. 따라서 $IFN-\gamma$는 교원질 합성의 전사과정 혹은 그 이후의 과정에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상할 수 있다. 한편 Indomethacin의 투여로 $IFN-\gamma$에 의해 억제된 교원질의 합성이 영향을 받지 않았기 때문에 $IFN-\gamma$에 의한 교원질 합성 과정에 prostaglandin이 관련되지 않았음을 알 수 있었다. 반면 fibronectin의 합성은 10 및 100 U/ml의 $IFN-\gamma$ 투여시에는 영향을 받지 않았으나, 1000U/ml의 $IFN-\gamma$투여시에는 유의한 증가를 나타내어, 교원질에서와는 다른 영향을 나타내었다. 또한 mRNA steady state level에서도 $IFN-\gamma$는 교원질의에서와는 달리 fibronectin mRNA 양에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 즉 $IFN-\gamma$ fibronectin 유전자 발현에 영향을 미치는 부위는 전사나, 전사후 변형단계가 아닌 단백질 합성단계에서 영향을 미침을 보여주었다. 따라서 $IFN-\gamma$ 교원질과 fibronectin합성 조절 영향을 미치는 부위 서로 다름을 알 수 있겠다. Alkaline phospatase의 활성은 10-1000 U/ml의 $IFN-\gamma$를 투여시 약하게 증가시키는 경향을 보였으나 석회화가 일어날 정도로 높게 증가시키지는 못했다. 따라서 $IFN-\gamma$는 골기질의 주성분인 type I 교원질의 합성을 선택적으로 억제하는 기능과 alkaline phosphatase의 활성을 크게 증가시키지 못한 점 등으로 미루어 볼 때, 골개조를 억제하는 방향으로 작용한다고 볼 수 있으며, 교정치료 과정중 골개조를 억제하는 부위에서 사용을 시도해 볼 수 있겠다.

Prevention of thrombombolism after rosthetic cardiac valve replacement is essential for the patients. About 90% of patients are free of major and minor thromboembolic complications 5 year after replacement of cardiac valves with prosthetic devices when they are under control of anticoagulant therapy. Ticlopidine is a drug that alter platelet function to have an antithrombotic effect. It is an antiaggregating agent which inhibits primary platelet function to have an antithrombotic effect. It is an antiaggregating agent which inhibits primary platelet aggregation induced by ADP and increases the production of prostaglandin $D_{2}$. Aspirin in small doses inhibits platelet synthesis of prostaglandins by irreversibly blocking the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase. Platelet secretion and aggregation are impaired with Ticlopidine and Aspirin. the thromboembolic event sof 54 patient s who were treated with Ticlopidine and Aspirin after cardiac valve replacement were evaluated and compared with that of 79 patients who were treated with Wafarin and Aspirin after the same type of operation. The follow-up period ranged from 4 to 110 months (mean of 48 months). there were 11 major thromboembolic episodes including three deaths in the warfarin goup during mean follow-up period of 56 months. two cases of CVA and one hemoarthrosis were noted due to overdose of Warfarin. Inticlopidine group, there was only one fatal thromboembolic epdisode three month after mitral valve replacement during mean follow-up period of 18 months. Two episodes of hypermenorrhea resulting anemia ere noted in the ticlopidine group. We measured the parameters of platelet function in aggreagation curve of platelet with platelet aggregometer (chrono-log Aggregometer, Model No. 430) Aggregation test was performed with three final concentrations of epinephrine in 10 uM/L, ADP in 5uM/L. 28 patients with prosthetic cardiac valves and 35 healthy volunteers were subgrouped as follows to analyze the effect of antithrombotic drugs used. Group I ; 11 patients treated with 250-500 mg of ticlopidine and 0.5gm of Aspirin as a daily single dose after cardiac valve replacement (14 St. Jude Medical and 1 Carpentier-Edwards, 9 patients with atrial fibrillation among them) Group II ; 10 patients treated with 3-5 mg of Warfarin and 0.75 gm of Aspirin daily to prolong prothrombin time around 20 seconds for more than 6 months and single Aspirin dose was maintained afterward as a life-long regimes(3 St. Jude Medical, 1 Hall-Kaster and 7 Carpentier-Edwards valve, 9 patients in atrial fibrilation). Group III ; 7 patients who quit anticoagulant treatment (Warfarin + Aspirin) 6-12 months after the regime as group II (3 St. Jude Medical. 1 bjork-Shiley, 1 Hall-Kaster, 3 Carpentier-Edwards valve, 2 of them are with atrial fibrillation). Group IV ; 35 healthy vounteers (28 males and 7 females). The following results were obtained. 1. The mean maximal platelet aggregability in Group I induced by 10uM/L epinephrine was 15.6%, and 17.5 and 18.7% in BM in proportion to the induction by 5 and 10 uM/L ADP. 2. The mean maximal platelet aggregability in Group II induced by 10uM/L epinephrine was 16.5%, and 27.4 and 44.7% in BM in proportion to the induction by 5 and 10uM/L ADP. 3. The mean maximal platelet aggregability in group III induced by 10uM/L epinephrine was 65%, and 56.5 and 51.8% in BM in proportion to the induction by 5 and 10 uM/L ADP. 4. The mean maximal platelet aggregability in the normal subjects induced by 10 uM/L epinephrine was 64%, and 65 and 69% in Bm inproportion to the induction by 5 and 10 uM/L ADP. 5. Reversible change of platelet aggregation curve induced by 5 and 10uM/L was noted all of the patients in Group I. conclusion : Ticlopidine is an antiaggregating agent which inhibits primary platelet aggregation induced by ADP, and increases the production of prostaglandin $D_{2}$. Ticlopidine and Aspirin produced a significant inhibition of platelet in the presence of ADP and epinephrine in our study. Acccording to our brief experience, 250 mg of ticlopidine and low dose of Aspirin resulted synergistic superior effect to each drug alone in prevention of thromboembolism after prosthetic cardiac valve replacement.
