  • 상악골 전방견인 장치를 이용한 골격성 III급 부정교합 환자의 악정형적 치료에서 치료시기는 치료효과에 지대한 영향을 미칠 수 있으며 이상적인 치료시기는 연구자에 따라 다소의 차이는 있으나 다른 형태의 부정교합보다는 다소 이른 사춘기 이전의 어린 나이라는 것이 선학들의 공통된 의견이었다 하지만 통계적 자료들을 바탕으로 한 최근의 논문들은 과거 선학들의 의견을 뒷받침 해주는 논문과 그렇지 않은 논문들로 나뉘고 있어 이상적 치료시기에 대한 정립된 의견이 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 119명의 환자들의 수완부골 방사선 사진을 평가하여 골성숙도에 따라 사춘기전군과 사춘기군으로 분류하고 치료전후 측모두부방사선 사진을 분석하여 상악골 전방견인에 대한 치료효과를 비교하였다. 평균 치료기간은 사춘기전군은 6.5개월, 사춘기군은 6.1개월이었으며 치료전후의 측모두부방사선 사진을 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 상악골의 전방이동양은 사춘기전군과 사춘기군간에 차이가 없었다. 2. 상악골의 하방이동양은 사춘기전군과 사춘기군간에 차이가 없었다. 3. 하악골의 하방이동양과 후하방회전양은 사춘기전군과 사춘기군간에 차이가 없었다. 4. 치성이동양은 사춘기전군과 사춘기군간에 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과로 사춘기전 뿐 아니라 사춘기에서도 상악골 전방견인에 의해 상악골 성장촉진과 함께 성공적인 악정형 치료가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

  • Epimedii Herba is a traditional medicinal herb used in Korea and China and exerts estrogenic activity. In this study, we investigated the effect of peripubertal administration of Epimedii Herba on pubertal development in female rats using a modified protocol of the rodent 20-day pubertal female assay. Female Sprague-Dawley rats (21 days old after weaning, 10 rats per group) were divided into five groups: saline (Con), ethinyl estradiol (E2), Epimedii Herba ext (Ext), icariin (ICI), and icaritin (ICT), which were administered by oral gavage (E2 by subcutaneous injection) from postnatal day (PND) 21 through PND40. The time to vaginal opening (VO) was shorter for the Epimedii groups, particularly for the ICT group (p<0.05). Treatment with ICI and ICT significantly increased the duration of the estrus cycle (ICI, 2.78 days; ICT, 4.0 days; control, 1.78 days). Ovary weight was reduced by E2 treatment and increased by the Ext, ICI, and ICT treatments while the weight of the uterus and pituitary glands increased significantly only in the E2 and ICT groups. Although Epimedii Herba displayed relatively weak estrogenic activity, its repeated administration could affect pubertal development in female rats.

  • The present study was performed to investigate the effect of maternal hypothyroidism and puberty onset in female rat pups. To do this, we employed propylthiouracil (PTU) to prepare a hypothyroid rat model. Pregnant rats were treated with PTU (0.025%) in drinking water from gestational day 14 to postnatal day 21 of offspring. Comparison of general indices such as body and tissue weights and puberty indices such as vaginal opening (VO) and tissue histology between control and PTU-treated rats were conducted. There was no significant difference in the date of VO between control and PTU group. The body weights of the PTU group were significantly lower, only 36.8% of the control group (p<0.001). Although the absolute thyroid weight was not changed by PTU treatment, the relative weight increased significantly about 2.8 times (p<0.001), indicating that hypothyroidism was successfully induced. On the other hand, the absolute weights of the ovary and uterus were markedly decreased by PTU administration (p<0.001), and the relative weight was not significantly changed. The ovarian histology of PTU group revealed the advanced state of differentiation (i.e., presence of corpora lutea). Inversely, the uterine histology of PTU group showed underdeveloped structures compared those in control group. Taken together, the present study demonstrates that our maternal hypothyroidism model resulted in minimal effect on pubertal development symbolized by VO despite of huge retardation in somatic growth. More sophisticatedly designed hypothyroidism model will be helpful to achieve a better understanding of pubertal development and related disorders.

  • The associations between dietary, body composition and sexual maturation were investigated among Korean girls of pubertal age in this study. Dietary intakes were collected by 3 day food records, body compositions were measured by bio-impedence analyzer and sexual maturation stages were determined with a self-administrated questionnaire using Tanner stages in 1,114 girls 9-13 years of age. Girls were divided into early maturation (EM) and late maturation (LM), based on the comparative maturation stages of breast and pubic hair among the same age groups by months. Subjects were excluded if their stage of maturation could not be divided into early and late groups. EM and LM groups consisted of 42.8% and 38.9% of subjects by breast stage and 67.4% and 22.8% by pubic hair stage. Girls in LM group had significantly lower in height, weight and bone mineral contents (p < 0.05). When nutrient densities of average daily intake of the two groups were compared, folate density was significantly higher among the LM group of breast stages (p < 0.01), and Ca, P, K, Vit. $B_1$, Vit. $B_2$ and folate densities were significantly higher among the LM group of pubic hair stages (p < 0.05). These results show that intakes of some micronutrients differ between children with faster and slower sexual maturation velocities at early pubertal stages. More longitudinal studies are needed to confirm whether such differences are consistent throughout the pubertal period.

  • Purpose: Leptin has been considered a link between metabolic state and reproductive activity. Defective reproductive function can occur in leptin-deficient and leptin-excessive conditions. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of centrally injected leptin on the hypothalamic KiSS-1 system in relation to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) action in the initial stage of puberty. Methods: Leptin (1 ${\mu}g$) was injected directly into the ventricle of pubertal female mice. The resultant gene expressions of hypothalamic GnRH and KiSS-1 and pituitary LH, 2 and 4 hours after injection, were compared with those of saline-injected control mice. The changes in the gene expressions after blocking the GnRH action were also analyzed. Results: The basal expression levels of KiSS-1, GnRH, and LH were significantly higher in the pubertal mice than in the prepubertal mice. The 1-${\mu}g$ leptin dose significantly decreased the mRNA expression levels of KiSS-1, GnRH, and LH in the pubertal mice. A GnRH antagonist significantly increased the KiSS-1 and GnRH mRNA expression levels, and the additional leptin injection decreased the gene expression levels compared with those in the control group. Conclusion: The excess leptin might have suppressed the central reproductive axis in the pubertal mice by inhibiting the KiSS-1 expression, and this mechanism is independent of the GnRH-LH-estradiol feedback loop.

  • Puberty is the developmental period which animals obtain the ability of reproducing sexually for the first time in life. In commercially important aquaculture fish species, the onset of puberty is a matter of major interest due to controlling of sexual maturation to improve broodstock management. To investigate pubertal characteristics of female longtooth grouper (Epinephelus bruneus), specimens were classified into three groups by the bodyweight, including 1, 2, and 3 kg group. Thereafter, we focused on ovarian development and level changes of endocrine regulation factors (GnRH, GTHs, steroid hormone). In the non-breeding season (April), the levels of endocrine regulation factors showed increasing trends in accordance with bodyweight gaining; nevertheless, the oocytes were growth phase belongs to almost peri-nucleous stages in all groups. In the breeding season (June), the levels of endocrine regulation factors were fluctuated that decreases in levels of sbGnRH and $FSH{\beta}$ mRNA expressions along with serum $E_2$ concentrations in 3 kg of group. However, $LH{\beta}$ mRNA expression levels sustained increasing trends by the bodyweight. Moreover, the oocytes developed that 2 kg and 3 kg groups obtained plentiful vitellogenic oocytes while 1 kg group was still composed with greater part of pre-vitellogenic oocytes. Especially, the oocytes of 3 kg group reached over 450 ${\mu}m$ of diameters that indicating possibility to enter the final maturations. These results suggest that the progress of pubertal development in female E. bruneus could be classify into three phases via bodyweight, including pre-puberty (1 kg), early-puberty (2 kg) and puberty (3 kg).

  • The purpose of this study was to make a comparative analysis of dietary habits, snacks, eating out and fast-food intake between students with a relatively early sexual maturity and others with a relatively late sexual maturity in a bid to grasp the impact of dietary behaviors on sexual maturity. The subjects in this study were 565 boys and girls who resided in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. They included fifth- and sixth-grade school children and seventh-grade middle school students. To classify the selected students according to the level of sexual maturity, the students of the same month age were divided into two groups in consideration of the stage of their sexual maturity and that of the other age groups. The early mature group was significantly taller and weighed more than the late mature group irrespective of gender. According to Tanner stages, the boys of the early mature group reached a 3.03 stage of sexual maturity when the sexual organs were taken into account, and those of the late mature group reached a 1.50 stage of sexual maturity. The girls of the early mature group reached a 3.43 stage of sexual maturity on the basis of breast, and those of the late mature group reached a 2.73 stage of sexual maturity. Concerning eating out, the early mature group ate out more frequently than the late mature group. In regard to snacks, the early mature group had a snack more often. The findings of the study indicated that there were differences in physical development and some dietary behaviors according to sexual maturity. The early mature group had a snack and ate out relatively more often than the late mature group, which showed that some dietary behaviors had an impact on the sexual maturity of the teens who arrived at the age of puberty.

  • 목 적 : 조기사춘기 여아에게 성선자극호르몬 방출호르몬 효능약제(gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue, GnRHa)와 성장호르몬(growth hormone, GH)의 병합치료를 시행하여 성인신장획득에 대한 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2001년 1월부터 2004년 1월까지 조기사춘기로 소아과 외래를 내원한 여아 중 예측성인신장이 -2 표준편차점수 이하로 표적키보다 훨씬 작은 23명($9.73{\pm}1.59$세)을 대상으로 초경을 시작하지 않은 군(Group 1, n=19, $9.59{\pm}1.59$세)과 초경을 시작한 군(Group 2, n=4, $10.38{\pm}1.44$세)으로 나누어 GnRHa와 GH의 병합치료를 시행하고, 치료 시작 전후 및 두 군 간의 역연령, 골연령, 성장속도, 신장, 예측성인신장, 혈청 IGF-1, IGFBP-3 치, BMI를 비교 분석하였다. 결 과 : 치료 시작 시의 두 군의 역연령, 성장속도, BMI는 유의한 차이는 없었으나 골연령 및 골연령과 역연령의 차이는 Group 2에서 Group 1보다 유의하게 증가되어 있었다. 신장은 Group 1의 평균이 $130.7{\pm}7.4cm$, Group 2의 평균이 $140.7{\pm}6.0cm$으로 유의하게 차이가 있었으나 표적키, 예측성인신장, 혈청 IGF-1과 IGFBP-3은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 치료 종료 시의 Group 1의 골연령은 평균 $12.18{\pm}1.02$세, Group 2의 골연령은 평균 $13.56{\pm}0.83$세로 치료 시작 전과 마찬가지로 Group 2에서 유의하게 높았으나, 골연령과 역연령의 차이, 신장, 그리고 IGF-1은 차이가 없었다. 전체에서 골연령과 역연령의 차이가 치료 시작 전에 평균 $2.50{\pm}2.46$세, 치료 종료 후에 평균 $1.10{\pm}0.97$세로 감소되었고, 역연령에 대한 골연령의 비도 $1.22{\pm}0.16$에서 $1.10{\pm}0.10$으로 감소되어서 결국 골연령의 증가는 현저히 감소하였다. 성장 속도 역시 평균 $7.46{\pm}2.44cm$/년에서 $5.65{\pm}2.08cm$/년으로 감소하였다. 예측성인신장은 치료 전에 평균 $146.6{\pm}3.50cm$, 치료 후에 평균 $153.8{\pm}4.7cm$으로 현저히 증가하였으며 신장의 표준편차점수도 $-0.66{\pm}1.02$ SDS에서 $-0.34{\pm}1.04$ SDS로 유의하게 증가하였다. BMI는 치료 전 평균 $18.80{\pm}2.35kg/m^2$, 치료 후에 평균 $20.4{\pm}2.53kg/m^2$로 유의하게 증가하였고, 혈청 IGF-1은 치료 후에 유의하게 증가하였으나 IGFBP-3는 유의한 변화가 없었다. 치료 전후에 두 군에서 각 성장 변수의 변화를 보면 골연령과 역연령의 차이는 유의하게 감소하였고 신장, 예측성인신장, BMI는 유의하게 증가하였다. 그러나 혈청 IGF-1의 경우, Group 1에서는 치료 후에 현저히 증가하였으나 Group 2에서는 별 차이가 없었다. 혈청 IGFBP-3는 모두에서 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 조기사춘기 여아에게 GnRHa와 GH의 병합치료를 시행했을 때, 골연령의 증가 속도와 성장속도가 감소하고, 혈청 IGF-1이 증가함으로써 예측성인신장이 의미 있게 증가하며 표적키에 가깝게 증가한다. 또한 IGF-1의 변화를 보면 초경을 시작하지 않은 조기사춘기 여아가 초경을 시작한 경우보다 성장획득에 대한 가능성이 더 클 것으로 생각된다.
