The objective of this study was to determine the oral wound healing effects of acai berry water extracts (ABWE) in rat oral mucosa. To estimate the anti-oxidative effects of ABWE, the contents of phenolic compounds, and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) abilities were evaluated. Wound healing effects of ABWE were tested following 6-day exposure after induction of wound by applying 50% acetic acid to oral mucosa of Sprague-Dawley rats. Macroscopic and histopathological analyses were performed to determine wound healing effects of ABWE. Sodium fusidate (20 mg/g) was used as positive control. ABWE showed significantly high antioxidant effects in all assays, although its potency was weaker than the positive control. From day 3 after treatment, wound healing effects of ABWE were observed in oral mucosa. These wound healing effects were also consistent with histopathological evaluation results. Taken together, these results indicate that ABWE might have potential as an oral wound healing agent in the future.

This study was undertaken to compare and investigate the wound healing process following Nd:YAG laser wounds and scalpel incisions of the rat tongue dorsal mucosa. Laser wounds were made parallel on the right side of tongue dorsum and scalpel incisions were made on the left side with 5mm length, respectively Visual inspection and immunohistochemistry with CD44 antibody after immediately, 6 hours, 1 day, 2, 4, 7, 11, 21 days after surgery were carried out. The results were as follows : 1. There was macroscopically no treat difference between laser wounds and scalpel incisions. 2. Laser wounds appeared as dry, bloodless and irregular grooves with carbonization and whitening of superficial tissues compared to sharp, straight and bleeding incisions using scalpel. 3. In the epithelium of rat tongue mucosa, CD44 expression in healing laser wounds and scalpel incisions were similar. 4. In the lamina propria and muscle layer, CD44 expression in healing laser wounds gradually increased earlier and decreased faster than scalpel incisions. Conclusively, it is suggested that pulsed Nd:YAG laser has more beneficial effect on the healing of wounded oral mucosa than scalpel in knew of CD44 expression.

The author has observed the tissue reaction of the absolute alcohol infection of rat oral mucosa. 0.5ml absolute alcohol was injected subcutaneously on the mucobuccal fold of rat. And the rats were sacrifieced at intervals of one day, 3rd, 1 week, 2 week and 4 week after alcohol injection. The microscopic tissue sections were made and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The results were are as follows; 1. Degeneration and shrinkage of fibroblasts and coagulative necrosis were observed one day to and three day after alcohol injection. 2. Although coagulative necrosis and tissue degeneration occurred, the inflammatory infiltration was not prominent especially there were scarcely any polymorphonuclear leukocytes in that field. 3. Granulation tissue with moderate small round cell infiltration were replaced the necrotic area at one week after injection and the fibroblast proliferate into the granulation tissue at two week group. 4. At four week after injection, the damaged area recovered by fibroblastic proliferation and collage formation, but there were

Backgrounds: To overcome limited amount of autogenous mucosa for the reconstruction of various mucosal defect including oral mucosal defect, tissue engineered mucosa has been recently introduced. However, introduced conventional technique of tissue engineered mucosa still have serious pitfalls such as long fabrication time, fragility of the reconstructed mucosa, and complexity of the technique. Aim of the study: To examine whether the complex of preconfluent autologous keratinocytes and autologous PRP(Platelet rich plasma) can reconstruct oral mucosa on the muscular flap with easier and faster way compared to conventional mucosal tissue engineering technique. Materials and methods: One day before the operation, oral mucosa(3mm in diameter) were taken and treated for extraction of oral keratinocytes according to the routine manner. The day of operation, oral keratinocytes were prepared in the laboratory and then moved to the operating theater. Autologous PRP was also prepared and then mixed with oral keratinocytes just before grafting on the prepared muscular flap. After keratinocyte-PRP complex was seated, then a sterilized rubber sheet was placed on the graft and the elevated skin flap was replaced and sutured. Biopsies were proceeded at 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days. Tissue samples were evaluated clinically, histologically, and immunohistochemically. Results: All of the oral keratinocyte-PRP complexes were successfully grafted on the recipient sites(100%). On 3 days after the operation, 1-2 continuous epithelial layer and many inflammatory cells were observed. On 5 days after the operation, increase of layers of keratinocyte was observed with less inflammatory response. Thickness of the layers was gradually increased from 7 to 21 days after the operation. Cytokeratin confirms epithelium in every specimen. Conclusions: Preconfluent graft of autogenous oral keratinocytes mixed with autogenous PRP have successfully reconstructed myo-mucosal flap. This technique could be a useful alternative for oral mucosal reconstruction in the near future.

Purpose: This study observed the changes in the telomerase activity, it's developmental regulation, PCNA expression, and their correlation in rat's upper digestive organs during growth and aging. Materials and Methods: Upper digestive organs(buccal mucosa, gingiva, palate, submandibular and parotid glands, and tongue) were aseptically removed from Sprague-Dawley rats of fetal(gestational 20 days), growing(1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 weeks after birth) and adult(12 week old). Samples for telomerase activity were frozen on liquid nitrogen immediately after sacrifice, and stored until the use at $-75^{\circ}C$ in order to measure it. Telomerase activity was measured by a PCR-based telomeric repeat amplication protoco(TRAP) assay and quantitated with Photometric Telo TAGGG Telomerase PCR ELISA plus(Roche Diagnostics GmbH. Mannheim. Germany). PCNA expression were measured immunohistochemistry with anti PCNA Ab-1, Clone PC10(NeoMark. California. USA). Results: 1. Telomerase activities in buccal mucosa, palate and gingiva were the highest in fetus and decreased gradually or rapidly after birth and then diminished, but In salivary gland and tongue were the highest in fetus and also high at 1 week and then decreased rapidly. 2. PCNA expression in buccal mucosa, gingiva, Tongue and salivary gland was the highest in fetus and decreased gradually and then diminished. but only in palate decreased rapidly after birth and then diminished. Conclusion: The highest telomerase activity of embryonic stage decreased rapidly after birth in rat's upper digestive organs. There may be a developmental regulation of telomerase activity, but not a tissue-specific. This telomerase activity seems correlated closely with PCNA expression in rat's upper digestive system.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of Garlic Jug A Jii, a popular processed food for Korean was given of HCI-ethanol in rats as experimental Model. Oral administration HCI-ethanol to fasted rats produced extensive necrosis in the gastric mucosa. Pretreatment with garlic juice and 3 week stored Garlic Jang A Jii juice prevented such necrosis and the effects were dose-dependent. The effects of garlic Jang A Jii juice comparing with raw garlic juice were reduced but statiscally significant differences were not found. 5 week-stored Garlic Jang A Jii was inhibited the formation of gastric mucosal injury. Comparing with garlic Jug A Jii for 3 weeks, while garlic Jang A Jii juice and 1 : 10 diluted garlic Jang A Jii juice did not show significant shifts but the effects of 1 100 diluted garlic Jang A Jii was decreased. Oral administration of disulfide prevented the gastric mucosa injury whereas sulfhydryl blockers such as N-ethylmaleimie and indomethacin was decreased on gastric mucosa protective effect. The content of diallyl disulfide was 1.41mg% in raw garlic, 0.96mg% in garlic Jang A Jii for 3 weeks. The content of diallyl disulfide was gradually reduced according to the elapse of storage period.

The intact dental pulps which were free of their tooth bud from adult rat incisors, and oral mucosa were transplanted subcutaneously in homologous rats to study the formation of calcified tissue. The rat were sacrificed after 1,2,3 and 4 weeks following transplantation of dental pulp and oral mucosa. The samples which contained the transplanted and surrounding tissue were fixed in 10% NBF, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, alizarin red S, von Kossa, and alcian blue. Microscopic examinstins revealed as follows: 1. The transplanted oral mucosas were not calcified but tended to form the epithelial cysts. 2. At 1 week after transplantation of dental pulp the calcified structures were appeared at the periphery of the transplantation of dental pulp but weakly reacted to alizarin red S, von Kossa, and alcian blue. 3. At 2 weeks after transplantation of dental pulp the calcified structures began to expand from the periphery to the center of the transplanted dental pulp and occupied the large areas comparatively, and strongly reacted to alizarin red S, and von Kossa stains. 4. At 3 weeks after transplantation of pulp tissue the fibrous components were grown at the periphery of the transplanted pulp tissuesand at 4 weeks a large amount of fibrous tissues were observed. The transplanted pulp tissue tended to form foreign bodies gradually.

Background and Objectives This study was undertaken to assess the stability and efficacy of laser therapy (808 nm), Liquiband (a commercial topical skin adhesive product), and a combination treatment, for application in oral ulcers. Materials and Methods The oral ulcer rat animal model was used to determine the efficacy of photobiomodulation, Liquiband, or combination therapy. Ulcers were induced by injecting 60% acetic acid in the oral mucosa. Three days after ulcer confirmation, the chemically induced ulcers were treated with either laser (808 nm), Liquiband, or a combination of both, every two days for 8 days (4 sessions). Combination therapy was performed by first treating with laser followed by application of the Liquiband. Reduction in ulcer area size was subsequently determined, and animals were sacrificed at 5 and 10 days after the last administration, for histological observation of the extracted oral ulcer tissue samples. Results In this study, treatment with either laser (808 nm) or commercial Liquiband product as well as the combined treatment significantly enhanced oral ulcer healing in the rat animal model. The effect of laser treatment is mainly attributed to collagen synthesis, whereas application of the Liquiband promotes vascularization and formation of granulation tissue. Our results indicate that further optimization of the combined therapy could synergistically and significantly enhance oral ulcer healing. Conclusion Laser or Liquiband treatment of oral ulcer in the rat animal model exert different outcomes, but both methods confirm significant effects relative to the untreated group. The combined treatment group with laser and Liquiband showed marked oral ulcer healing, but further optimization is required to get highly significant results and establish the potential synergistic effect of the combination therapy, as compared to the individual enhancing effects of healing oral ulcers.
