The present study aimed to investigate the osteogenic potentials of differentiated osteoblast-like cells (DOCs) induced from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on ${\beta}-tricalcium$ phosphate (${\beta}-TCP$) with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP-2) in vitro. Osteoblast differentiation was induced in confluent cultures by adding 100 nM dexamethasone, 10 mM ${\beta}$-glycerophosphate, 50 mM L-ascorbic acid. The Alizarin red S staining and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were perfomed to examine the mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteocalcin (OCN), receptor activator for nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), collagen-Ⅰ (COL-Ⅰ). There were no significant differences in the osteogenic potentials of DOCs induced from MSCs on ${\beta}-TCP(+/-)$. According to the incubation period, there were significant increasing of Alizadin red S staining in the induction 3 weeks. The mRNA expression of ALP, RUNX2, and RANKL were higher in DOCs/${\beta}-TCP(-)$ than DOCs/${\beta}-TCP(+)$. According to rhBMP-2 concentrations, the mRNA expression of BSP was significantly increased in DOCs/${\beta}-TCP(+)$ compared to that of DOCs/${\beta}-TCP(-)$ on rhBMP 10 ng/ml. Our study presented the ${\beta}-TCP$ will have the possibility that calcium phosphate directly affect the osteoblastic differentiation of the bone marrowderived MSCs.

This study conducted a series of studies to find alternative ways to use Chlorine Bypass System-dust(CBS-dust) in cement production. The results of engineering characteristics of CBS-dust are summarized as follows. First of all, the density of CBS-dust is 2.40, lighter than cement and the pH was 12.50 which was strong alkaline. In terms of particle size, it was 11.70 ㎛ which was finer than cement. With chemical properties, calcium oxide(CaO) was the highest as 35.10%, potassium oxide(K₂O) was 32.43%, potassium chloride(KCl) was 19.46%, sulfur oxide(SO₃) was 6.81%, and the remaining chemical components are SiO₂, Fe₂O₃, Al₂O₃, MgO, and the like. Therefore, if CBS-dust is used as early-strength chemical admixtures in the concrete secondary products that use a large amount of mineral admixtures without rebar, it can be an effective method for increasing the strength of concrete as an alkali activator and preventing early-frost damage of Cold Weather Concrete.

In this study, $Eu^{2+}$ ion was used as an activator in order to enhance the PL(photoluminescene) and PSL(photostimulated luminescence) intensity of $MCl_2:Eu^{2+}$(M = Ca, Sr, Ba)phosphors and the chracteristics of PL and PSL of the phosphors were investigated. The emission of $MCl_2:Eu^{2+}$(M = Ca, Sr, Ba) phosphors shows a shift wavelength when the host caution changes. The optimal preparing conditions of $CaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor were 0.5 mol％ of $EuCl_2$ and the sintering temperature were $745^{\circ}C$, 45 min. in $H_2$ atmosphere. The PL and PSL spectra of $CaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ locate in the range of $365{\sim}388\;nm$, peaking at 370 and 380 nm. The optimal preparing conditions of $BaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor were 0.5 mol％ of $EuCl_2$ and the sintering temperature were $905^{\circ}C$, 45 min. in $H_2$ atmosphere. The PL and PSL spectra of $BaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ locate in the range of $370{\sim}460\;nm$, peaking at 398 nm. The optimal preparing conditions of $SrCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor were 0.5mol％ of $EuCl_2$ and the sintering temperature were $840^{\circ}C$, 45min. in $H_2$ atmosphere. The PL and PSL spectra of $SrCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ locate in the range of $380{\sim}440\;nm$, peaking at 407 nm. The dose response of the $MCl_2:Eu^{2+}$(0.5 mol%)(M = Ba, Sr) phosphors were linear within $0.25{\sim}200\;mGy$ of 100 kV X-ray and the PSL intensity of the $SrCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ and $BaCl_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors faded to approximately 60 and 40% respectively after 120 min at room temperature.

In this study, we investigated the indirect effect of silk-fibroin on osteoclastic differentiation of RAW264.7 cells. The conditioned medium were collected from MC3T3-E1 osbeoblasts treated with $0.001\;mg/mL{\sim}0.1\;mg/mL$ silk fibroin for 6 days, mixed in 1:1 ratio with osteoclast medium, and then added into RAW264.7 cells with receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), a differentiation inducer for 3 days. Of osteoclastic cytokines in the conditioned medium, the protein expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) with silk-fibroin was not significantly different. However, the protein expression of interleukin (IL)-$1{\beta}$ was specifically lower in a dose dependent manner. In RAW264.7 cells, the conditioned medium with silk-fibroin inhibited RANKL induced osteoclastic differentiation as total number of multinucleated tartrate-resistant alkaline phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts in a dose dependent manner. Taken together, we demonstrated that the conditioned medium of silk-fibroin treated osteoblasts inhibits RANKL induced differentiation of osteoclasts with inhibiting selective expression of IL-$1{\beta}$.
