The purpose of this study was to examine the mechanism of improving acid resistance of Nd-YAG laser irradiated tooth enamel and determine the most effective energy density for improving acid resistance. The bovine tooth enamel were lased with a pulsed Nd-YAG laser. The energy densities of exposed laser beam were varied from 10 to $70\;J/cm^2$. To investigate the degree of improving acid resistance by irradiation, all the samples were submerged to demineralize in 0.5 N $HClO_4$ solution for 1 minute. After 1 minute, 0.05 % $LaCl_3$ was added to the solution for interrupting the demineralization reaction. The amounts of dissolved calcium and phosphate in the solution were measured by using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer and the UV/VIS spectrophotometer, respectively. To examine the mechanism of improving acid resistance, X-ray diffraction analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were taken. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the samples were obtained in the $10^{\circ}{\sim}80^{\circ}2{\theta}$ range with $Cu-K{\alpha}$ radiation using M18HF(Mac Science Co.) with X-ray diffractometer operating at 40 KV and 300 mA. The infra-red spectra of the ground samples in 300 mg KBr pellets 10 mm diameter were obtained in the $4000cm^{-1}\;to\;400cm^{-1}$ range using JASCO 300E spectrophotometer. The scanning electron microscopy was carried out using JSM6400(JEOL Co.) with $500{\sim}2000$ times magnification. The results were as follow 1. The concentration of calcium dissolved from laser irradiated enamel with $50J/cm^2$ was significantly lesser than that of unlased control group (p<0.05) 2. From the result of the X-ray diffraction analysis, $\beta$-TCP, which increases acid solubility, was identified in lased enamel but the diffraction peaks of (002) and (004) became sharp with increasing energy density of laser irradiation. This means that the crystals in lased samples were grown through the c-axis and subsequently, the acid solubility of enamel decreased. 3. The a-axis parameter was slightly increased by laser irradiation, whereas the c-axis parameter was almost constant except for a little decrease at $50J/cm^2$. 4. In the infra-red spectra of lased enamels, phosphate bands ($600{\sim}500cm^{-1}$), B-carbonate bands (870, $1415{\sim}1455cm^{-1}$), and A-carbonate band ($1545cm^{-1}$) were observed. The amounts of phosphate bands and the B-carbonate bands were reduced, on the other hand, the amount of the A-carbonate band was increased by increase the energy density. 5. The SEM experiments reveal that the surface melting and recrystallization were appeared at $30J/cm^2$ and the cracks were observed at $70J/cm^2$. From above results, It may be suggested that the most effective energy density for improving acid resistance of tooth enamel with the irradiation of Nd-YAG laser was $50J/cm^2$. The mechanism of improving acid resistance were reduction of permeability due to surface melting and recrystallization of lased enamel and reduction of acid solubility of enamel due to decrease of carbonate content and growth of crystal.

야잠사, Antheraea pernyi와 Antheraea yamamai의 구조특성을 살폅기 위하여 x-ray 회절 분석, IR 분광법, 편광현미경 관찰, 아미노산 분석을 행하였으며 섬유밀도, 열적 성질 및 동점탄성 성질을 살펴보았다. 그들의 구조 및 물리적 성질에 대한 결과를 가잠사(Bombyx mori)의 특성과 비교하여 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 작잠견사와 천잠견사의 아미노산 조성에는 큰 차이가 없었으나 천잠견사의 경우 반응성이 높은 극성아미노산이 다소 많은 것으로 나타났으며 가잠견사의 경우 glycine, 야잠사는 alanine 함량이 가장 많으므로 이들의 견사의 결정구조 특성에 관여되었다고 할 수 있다. 2. 섬유밀도 측정결과 천잠사(1.265~1.301g/㎤), 작잠사(1.308~1.311g/㎤), 가잠사(1.355~1.356g/㎤) 순으로 나타났으며 계산된 결정화도 값도 천잠사(51%), 작잠사(52%), 가잠사(64%) 순으로 나타났다. 3. 작잠사와 천잠사의 x-ray 회절곡선은 차이점이 없이 2$\theta$기호 16.7。와 20.5。에서 (002)면과 (201)면의 특징적인 double peak이 관찰되었으며 가잠사의 경우 2$\theta$기호 20.5。 부근에서 강한 회절 peak이 나타나 결정 구조가 서로 다른 것으로 나타났다. 4. IR spectrum 관찰결과 작잠사와 천잠사는 공히 alanine-alanine sequence에 관계되는 흡수 peak이 나타나며 가잠사는 glycine-alanine sequence에 관련된 group의 흡수 peak이 나타났다. IR 결정화도는 밀도측정에 의한 결과와 동일하게 천잠사(53.9%), 작잠사(54.3%), 가잠사(70.4%) 순으로 계산되었다. 5. 복굴절률은 가잠사의 경우 0.0556에 비하여 야잠사는 0.0216으로 낮은 값을 나타내며 광학배향도값도 가잠사가 2배 정도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 편광현미경에 의한 표면특성은 야잠사의 경우 섬유축방향으로 microfibril들이 줄무늬 모양으로 뚜렷하게 관찰되었다. 6. DSC 및 TGA 분석에 의하여 열분해특성을 살펴본 결과 열분해온도는 가잠사, 작잠사, 천잠사 순으로 350。 부근에서 나타났으며 각각의 구조특성에 따라 열분해가 진행되는 단계가 달리 나타나는 것으로 관찰되어 열안정성의 차이를 보여주었다. 7. Dynamic storage modulus와 loss modulus를 측정하여 얻은 유리전이온도는 가잠사 22$0^{\circ}C$, 천잠사, 24$0^{\circ}C$ 및 작잠사 255$^{\circ}C$의 값을 나타냈으며 이것은 비결정영역의 전이형상이 각 견사의 구조특성에 따라 다른 거동을 하고 있음을 의미한다.

Purpose: With the significance of stable adhesion of alveolar bone and peri-implant soft tissue on the surface of titanium for successful dental implantation procedure, the purpose of this study was to apply microgrooves on the titanium surface and investigate their effects on peri-implant cells and tissues. Methods: Three types of commercially pure titanium discs were prepared; machined-surface discs (A), sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA)-treated discs (B), SLA and microgroove-formed discs (C). After surface topography of the discs was examined by confocal laser scanning electron microscopy, water contact angle and surface energy were measured. Human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) and murine osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1) were seeded onto the titanium discs for immunofluorescence assay of adhesion proteins. Commercially pure titanium implants with microgrooves on the coronal microthreads design were inserted into the edentulous mandible of beagle dogs. After 2 weeks and 6 weeks of implant insertion, the animal subjects were euthanized to confirm peri-implant tissue healing pattern in histologic specimens. Results: Group C presented the lowest water contact angle ($62.89{\pm}5.66{\theta}$), highest surface energy ($45{\pm}1.2mN/m$), and highest surface roughness ($Ra=22.351{\pm}2.766{\mu}m$). The expression of adhesion molecules of hGFs and MC3T30E1 cells was prominent in group C. Titanium implants with microgrooves on the coronal portion showed firm adhesion to peri-implant soft tissue. Conclusions: Microgrooves on the titanium surface promoted the adhesion of gingival fibroblasts and osteoblastic cells, as well as favorable peri-implant soft tissue sealing.

본 연구에서는 열 화학기상증착법(thermal chemical vapor deposition)을 이용하여 분말 형태의 규소(Si)와 염화니켈 수화물 $(NiCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O)$을 혼합한 후 탄소공급원인 $CH_4$ 가스를 주입하여 탄화규소 나노선(SiC nanowire)을 합성하였다. 합성 온도와 $CH_4$ 가스 유량 변화에 따른 탄화규소 나노선의 구조적 특성을 분석한 결과, 합성온도가 $1,400^{\circ}C$, $CH_4$ 가스의 유량이 300 sccm인 경우가 탄화규소 나노선의 합성에 최적화된 조건임을 라만 분광법(Raman spectroscopy)과 X-선 회절(X-ray diffraction), 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy), 그리고 투과전자현미경(transmission electron microscopy) 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 합성된 탄화규소 나노선의 직경은 약 50~150 nm이며, 곧은 방향성과 높은 결정성을 가지는 입방구조(cubic structure)를 지니고 있었다.
