The biotransformation of xylazine, a widly used animal tranquilizer, was investigated in rats. After administration of xylazine, the existence of 2,6-dimethylphenyl-isothiocyanate, 2,6-dimenthyl-4-hydroxy-aniline and p-hydroxy-xylazine in urine was confirmed by the comparison with chemically prepared standards in GC/MS. The main metabolite, p-hydroxy xylazine was excreted as conjugated form.

목적: PET은 해상도 한계로 인하여 각종 소동물 실험에서 영상화하는데 현실적인 어려움이 많았다. 마이크로 PET의 등장으로 랫트나 마우스와 같은 실험 동물을 보다 나은 해상도로 평가할 수 있으나 실험 동물의 크기가 작기 때문에 영상이 사람에서와 같이 선명하지는 않다. 고양이와 같은 중소형 동물은 뇌가 상대적으로 크기 때문에 마이크로PET을 이용하여 보다 선명한 영상을 얻을 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 고양이 뇌 경색을 구축하고 마이크로PET으로 평가하였으며 시간에 따른 변화도 같이 평가하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 수컷 고양이 2마리를 사용하였으며, 체중은 각각 3.0 kg, 3.3 kg 이었다. Xylazine과 Ketamine HCl으로 마취하였다. 고양이 대천문에서 오른쪽으로 1cm되는 곳에 burr 구멍을 뚫은 후 30 G 바늘을 삽입하여 collagenase type IV 10 ${\mu}l$를 5분에 걸쳐 주사하여 뇌 경색 모델을 만들었다. 경색을 만든 후 1일, 11일, 32일 후에 마이크로 PET R4 scanner (Concorde Microsystems Inc., Knoxville, TN)을 사용하여 $^{18}F$-FDG PET 영상을 얻었다. 추가로 경색 13, 47일에 사람용 PET scanner (Gemini, Philips medical systems, CA, USA)를 사용하여 FDG-PET 촬영을 하였다. 결과: 성공적으로 고양이 뇌출혈경색 모델을 만들 수 있었으며 마이크로 PET으로 얻은 영상에서 병변의 당 대사는 시간이 지남에 따라서 호전되었다. 사람용 PET으로도 병변을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론: 고양이 2마리에 두개골을 통해 collagenase를 주입하여 성공적으로 출혈성 뇌 경색 모델을 만들었으며 $^{18}F$-FDG 마이크로 PET으로 영상화할 수 있었다.

New techniques for regenerating the destructed periodontal tissue have been studied for many years. Current acceptable methods of promoting periodontal regeneration are basis of removal of diseased soft tissue, root treatment, guided tissue regeneration, graft materials, and biological mediators. Platelet Rich Plasma has been reported as a biological mediator which regulates activities of wound healing progress including cell proliferation, migration, and metabolism. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of using the Platelet Rich Plasma as a regeneration promoting agent for furcation involvement defect. Five adult beagle dogs were used in this experiment. The dogs were anesthetized with Ketamin HCl(0.1 ml/kg, IV)and Xylazine hydrochloride($Rompun^{(R)}$, Bayer, 0.1 ml/kg, IM) and conventional periodontal prophylaxis were performed with ultrasonic scaler and hand instruments. With intrasulcular and crestal incision, mucoperiosteal flap was elevated. Following decortication with 1/2 high speed round bur, degree II furcation defect was made on mandibular third(P3), forth(P4) and fifth(P5) premolar, and stopping was inserted. After 4 weeks, stopping was removed, and bone graft was performed. Ca-P was grafted in P3(experimental group I), Combination of Ca-P and plasma rich platelet were grafted in P4(experimental group II), and P5 was remained at control group.Systemic antibiotics(gentamicin sulfate)and anlgesics(phenyl butazone) were administrated intramuscular for 2 weeks after surgery. Irrigation with 0.1% Chlorhexidine Gluconate around operate sites was performed during the whole experimental period except one day immediate after surgery. Soft diets were fed through the whole experiment period. After 4, 8 weeks, the animals were sacrificed by perfusion technique. Tissue block was excised including the tooth and prepared for light microscope with Gomori's trichrome staining. At 4 weeks after surgery, there were rapid osteogenesis phenomenon on the defected area of the Platelet Rich Plasma plus Ca-P BBP group and early trabeculation pattern was made with new osteoid tissue produced by activated osteoblast. Bone formation was almost completed to the fornix of furcation by 8 weeks after surgery. In conclusion, Platelet Rich Plasma can promote rapid osteogenesis during healing of periodontalregeneration.
