Currently electronic apex locators have been widely used to determine working length in endodontic treatment. According to Manufacture's recommendation, it is beneficial to find the working length before instrumenting the canal. However, in crown-down pressureless technique, working length of tooth is established following coronal instrumentation 3mm short of radiographic apex. In narrow canals, mechanically formed constriction might be established by coronal instrumentation in some distance from anatomical constriction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of Root-ZX in the canal with mechanical constriction following considerable coronal enlargement with ProFile .06 series. The 40 root canals in 30 extracted mandibular molars were accessed, and their actual length (AL) established by passing a size 10 file just through the minor apical foramen. The teeth were then embedded in an acrylic container with normal saline. The initial canal length(IL) was measured with Root-ZX by negotiating a size 10 file to the apical constriction. The canal was sequentially enlarged to size 40 with ProFile .06 file 3mm short of actual length. The enlarged final canal lengths (FL) were obtained with a size 15 file. The average values of IL, FL were calculated and compared using Repeated measures Analysis of Variance followed Turkey's Studentized Range test. The results were obtained as follows: 1. The initial canal length was 0.12mm shorter than actual canal length(P>0.05). 2. The differences between initial canal length and final canal length were not significant(P>0.05). 3. As a result of this study, regardless of mechanically formed constriction. Root-ZX differentiated between mechanical and anatomic constriction.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of concentration and pH of lactic acid on the formation of artificial root caries lesions formation in bovine teeth. The characterictics of artificially produced early root lesions were observed with polarized light microscope and the depth of lesions were mearsured with measuring microscope The results were as follows: 1. In the group of low pH and high concentration of lactic acid, the progress of lesion formation was faster than that of high pH and low concentration lactic acid group. 2. In the same group, initial lesion progress faster, but progression rate was reduced as time goes by. 3. In the development of initial root caries, cementum was act as a barrier to protect dentin from lesion progression.

Tooth mobility may be the decisive factor that determines whether dental treatment of any kind is undertaken. Although tooth mobility in isolation says little in itself, the finding of increased tooth mobility is of both diagnostic and prognostic importance. Only the detection of an increase or decrease in mobility makes an evaluation possible. Thus prior to treatment, we must understand the pathologic process causing the observed the tooth mobility and decide whether the pattern and degree of observed tooth mobility is reversible or irreversible. And then it must be decided whether retention and treatment or extraction and replacement. The purpose of this study was to compare tooth mobility at different time period during root planing and flap operation and to relate changes in mobility to each treatment method. Twenty-one patients (287 teeth) with chronic adult periodontitis were treated with root planing(control group) and flap operation(experimental group), and each group was divided 3 subgroups based upon initial probing pocket depth (1-3mm, 4-6mm, 7mm and more). Tooth mobility was measured with $Periotest^{(R)}$ at the day of operation, 4 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after each treatment. Tooth mobility, attachment loss, radiographic bone loss, and bleeding on probing were measured at the day of operation, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment. 1. In group initial probing depth was 1-3mm, tooth mobility had no significant difference after root planing and flap operation. 2 . In group initial probing depth was 4-6mm, 7mm and more, tooth mobility had decreased in 12 weeks after root planing(p<0.01). And the mobility had increased after flap operation(p<0.01) and was at peak in 1 week, and decreased at initial level in 4 weeks, below the initial level in 12 weeks(p<0.01). 3. In 1 week, significant difference in tooth mobility between control and experimental group was found(p<0.01) but, in 12 weeks no difference between two groups was found. 4. Change of immediate tooth mobility after treatment was more larger in deep pocket than in shallow one. In group with the same probing pocket depth, the change of tooth mobility in molar group was greater than that of premolar group. 5. Tooth mobility before treatment was more strongly correlated with radiographic bone loss (r=0.5325) than probing depth, attachment loss and bleeding on probing, in 12 weeks after treatment, was more strongly correlated with attachment loss($r^2$=0.4761) than probing depth and bleeding on probing. Evaluation of the treatment effect and the prognosis after root planing and flap operation were meaningful on tooth initial probing depth 4mm and more. After flap operation, evaluation of the prognosis should be performed at least in 4 weeks and in 12 weeks after treatment, no difference in tooth mobility between two groups was observed. Radiographic bone loss and attachment loss were good clinical indicators to evaluate tooth mobility.

본 논문은 Newton-Raphson 방법을 기반으로 하는 table-driven 알고리듬에 대해 연구되었다. 특히 본 논문에서는 Newton-Raphson 방법을 이용한 제곱근 근사에 중점을 두었다. Newton-Raphson방법에서 최적화된 초기근사해를 구하게 되면 제곱근 근사의 정확성을 높일 수 있으며, 연산 속도 또한 빨라지게 된다. 그러므로 Newton-Raphson 알고리듬에서 초기근사해를 어떻게 결정하느냐하는 것이 전체적인 알고리듬의 성능을 평가하게 되는 중요한 이슈이다. 본 논문에서는 Newton-Raphson 알고리듬의 초기 근사해를 기하평균을 기준으로 테이블에 저장, 연산의 속도와 최대 오차율을 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 체세포배 발아 식물체의 세포 라인별, 순화용 기질별 생육 특성을 분석하여, 일본잎갈나무 조직 배양묘의 순화 중 생존율을 높이려는 방안을 마련하고자 실시하였다. 체세포배 발아 식물체는 라인 L14-66, L16-18, L17-B4를 사용하였으며, 순화용 기질은 낙엽송 전용 상토, 원예용 상토, 엘리포트, 피트플러그를 사용하였다. 평균 초기 신초와 뿌리 길이는 L14-66 라인이 가장 짧았고, L17-B4 라인이 가장 길었다. 세포 라인별 평균 생존율은 L17-B4 라인이 87.0%로 가장 높았고, L14-66 라인이 64.3%로 가장 낮았다. 순화용 기질별 생존율은 엘리포트와 피트플러그에서 각각 88.5%, 88.9%로 가장 높았다. L14-66 라인의 초기 신초 길이는 낙엽송 전용 상토(r = 0.852), 원예용 상토(r = 0.692), 엘리포트(r = 0.867)에서 생존율과 상관이 높았으나, 전 질소 함량이 높은 피트플러그에서는 상관이 없었다. L17-B4 라인의 초기 신초 길이는 모든 순화용 기질에서 생존율과 상관이 없었다. L14-66 라인의 초기 뿌리 길이는 낙엽송 전용 상토(r = 0.986), 엘리포트(r = 0.846), 피트플러그(r = 0.802)에서 생존율과 상관이 높았으며, 유식물체의 생존율은 초기 뿌리 길이가 길수록 높았다. L17-B4 라인의 초기 뿌리 길이는 낙엽송 전용 상토(r = 0.896)와 엘리포트(r = 0.696)에서만 생존율과 상관을 보였다. 결론적으로, 유식물체의 생존율을 높이기 위해서 신초 길이보다 뿌리 길이를 우선 고려해야 하며, 피트플러그와 같이 기질 내 질소 함량이 높은 재료를 사용하거나 순화 과정 중에 질소 시비를 높여 주는 것이 좋다. 또한, 생존율을 높이기 위해 초기 생장이 빠른 라인 개발도 함께 이루어져야 한다.

Cytotoxic substances in dental calculus and root cementum of periodontally diseased teeth inhibit new attachment and regeneration. The purpose of scaling and root planing is to remove pathologic structures harboring these cytotoxic substances in order to create a biologically acceptable root surface. However, these procedures inevitably leave a non-biocompatible smear layer. Conventionally, the smear layer has been removed with low pH etching agents such as citric acid, phosphoric acid and tetracycline hydrochloride(TC). Lately, a supersaturated neutral pH etching solution of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA) has been found to be as effective as low pH etchants with respect to smear removal and to be superior in exposing root surfaceassociated collagen. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of root surface treatment using EDTA on the initial attachment of human gingival fibroblasts. 27 human teeth, extracted due to severe periodontitis, were cut into dentin slices after root planing. The specimens were divided into TC group(treated with $50㎎/m{\ell}$ tetracycline-HCl, pH 1.52), EDTA group(treated with 17% EDTA, pH 7.4), and non-treated control group. After sterilization, 5th subcultured human gingival fibroblasts were seeded in each culture well containing a prepared root slice and incubated for 15 min., 60 min., and 4 hours in 5% $CO_2$ incubator at $37^{\circ}C$. At each incubation time, the number of attached fibroblasts were counted on the microphotographs taken at a magnification of x100. The difference of the number of attached cells between groups was statistically analyzed by the ANOVA followed by Duncan test in SPSS/PC＋programs. The results were as follows : 1. After incubation for 15 min, the attached cells were significantly more in EDTA group and TC group than non-treated control group(p<0.05), but there was no significance in the difference between EDTA group and TC group(p>0.1). 2. After incubation for 60 min and 4 hours, there was no significant difference in the number of attached cells between all groups(p>0.1). 3. In both EDTA group and TC group, there was no significant difference in the number of attached cells between different incubation(p>0.1). But in control group, the number of attached cells was significantly increased after incubation for 60 min, compared with incubation for 15 min(p<0.05). The above results suggest that root surface treatment using EDTA could enhance the initial attachment of gingival fibroblasts to root surface as effective as tetracycline-HCl.

수산식품에서 문제가 되는 식중독 균인 V. parahaemolyticus를 대상으로 온도, pH 및 초기균수에 따른 균의 성장 실험 결과를 데이터베이스화하여 이를 바탕으로 균의 성장을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 수학적 모델을 개발하였다. $1.0{\times}10^{2},\;1.0{\times}10^{3},\;1.0{\times}10^{4}\;CFU/mL$의 각 초기균수 조건에서 실험치와 예측치의 상관계수는 각각 0.966, 0.979, 0.965으로 나타났다. 또한, 초기균수를 고려하지 않은 모델식은 상관계수가 0.966으로 다음과 같이 나타났다. Polynomial model: $$k=1.10{\cdot}\exp(-0.5(((T-34.14)/9.09)^{2}+((pH-6.59)/4.68)^{2}))$$ 균의 증식 지표치인 최대증식속도상수 k는 온도에 지배적인 영향을 받았으며, pH 및 초기균수에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었으므로 (P>0.05), k와 온도와의 관계식인 square root model로 나타내었다. Square root model: $${\sqrt{k}\;0.06(T-9.55)[1-\exp(0.07(T-49.98))]$$ V. parahaemolyticus의 경우, square root model에 의한 실험치와 예측치의 상관계수는 0.977로 polynomial model보다 높은 적용성을 나타내었다.

Transformed roots of Schisandra chinensis were obtained following co-cultivation of in vitro cultivated plantlet segments with Agrobaterium rhizogens ATCC15834. This root was examined for its growth and gomisin J contents under various culture conditions. Among the six basal culture media tested, WPM (Lloyd & McCown, 1980) medium supplemented with 5% sucrose was the best roots growth 6.2 (g D.W/flask) and gomisin J accumulation 1.56 $(X10^{-3}\;ug/g\;D.W)$. Initial inoculum size correlated with the yield of biomass while gomisin J contents was not affect. Gomisin J production was influenced by the initial sucrose concentration and the highest production yield was achieved at the concentration of 7%. The optimal shaking speeds for roots growth and gomisin J production was 120 and 140 rpm, respectively.
