various properties and manufacturing conditions were investigated in order to synthesize the glass-ceramics of $CaO-P_2O_5$ system for bioceramics. Compositions of easy unidirectional crystallization were between 47.5 and 50, 0mol% CaO For the glass rods prepared by pulling them to about 3 times the original rod length unidirectional crystallization was easier than original glass rods. These samples were crystallized in the axial direction at 15${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/min in an electric furnace with a temperature gradient of about 3$0^{\circ}C$/cm at 57$0^{\circ}C$. Bending strengths of surface and unidirectionally crystallized samples were investigated with various CaO/$P_2O_5$ molar ratios. The bending strengths of unidirectionally crystallized samples were larger than those of surface -crystallized samples and the value of 47.5CaO.52.5 $P_2O_5$ was 1650kg/$cm^2$. XRD patterns showed that major phase is $\beta$-Ca(PO3) with minor phase 2CaO.$P_2O_5$ Relative crystal-linity of surface-crystallized sample was inversely propertional to the bending strenth. SEM of fracture surface of unidirectionally crystallized samples revealed an unidirectionally aligned structures.

In this research, heat-acupuncture needle was coated with $Al_2O_3$ by applying a plasma spray coating method to prevent a skin burn. $Al_2O_3$, which is one of the representative bioceramics, does not have an influence on the chemical change in the body system. The ceramic coating thickness was about $100{\mu}m$. The experiments of heat conduction were performed for uncoated needle and coated needle. The results showed that the surface temperature of needle decreased as the needle was coated with $Al_2O_3$. The surface temperature of uncoated needle was about $48^{\circ}C$, while that of needle coated with $Al_2O_3$ was about $39^{\circ}C$.

This experiment was carried out to examine the effect of various functional materials such as bioceramic podwers, crushed shells and elvanites supplemented to the each substrate on the seedlings growth of cucumber, watermelon and tomato. The seedlings were grown in pots filled with substrates of bioceramic podwers, crushed shell and elvanites. The growth of cucumber seedlings in terms of plant height, stem diameter, leaf width, leaf area, plant fresh and dry weight was promoted by adding the bioceramic. powder (1 to 2g/kg), crushed shells (20 to 80g/kg) or elvanites (20 to 80g/kg). Watermelon seedlings in terms of plant height, number of leaves and leaf area were greater than those of the control by adding bioceramics (1 to 2g/kg). Plant height was also promoted by the adding of bioceramic power from 16 days after treatment. But leaf area was increased from 8 days after treatment, while stem diameter was not affected. Watermelon seedlings were also influenced by adding curshed shells (20 to 80g/kg) and elvanites (20 to 40g/kg) into each substrate. The growth of characteristics of tomato seedlings were promoted by adding 1 to 3g/kg of bioceramics, 10 to 80g/kg of crushed shell or 20 to 40g/kg of elvanites, respectively. Especially, root growth was greatly influenced by bioceramic powder, whereas the shoot growth(leaves and stem) was stimulated by crushed shells and elvanites suppemented into substrate.

Stainless steel 316L (STS 316L) is widely used as a material of biopsy needle. However it has a side effect that tissue can be damaged by electrochemical operation between tissue and STS 316L. Many studies have been made on the ceramic coating of biopsy needle to reduce the side effect. In this study, STS 316L was coated with three bioceramics, $Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2$ and $ZrO_2$ using a RF magnetron sputtering method. The effects of ceramic coating on the electrical conductivity and coating strength of ceramic-coated STS 316L were investigated. The results showed that the electrical conductivity of ceramic-coated STS 316L was much lower than that of uncoated STS 316L. The coating strength of $ZrO_2$-coated STS 316L was 30% and 70% higher, respectively than those of $Al_2O_3$-coated STS 316L and $SiO_2_3$-coated STS 316L.

오늘날 고령화와 사고의 증가 및 삶의 질이 향상됨에 따라 생체재료에 대한 관심과 수요는 매우 커지고 있다. 오래전부터 인체의 손상된 부위를 자가이식(autograft)이나 동물을 통한 이종이식(allograft)으로 일부 대체 하였지만, 그 수요와 쓰임에는 많은 한계가 있었다. 생체재료 (biomaterials)는 사고나 질병에 의해 손상된 인체의 조직이나 장기를 대체하거나 그 기능을 회복하기 위해 사용되는 재료를 말한다. 1) 생체재료로서 세라믹스(생체 세라믹스 bioceramics)는 1970년대부터 일부 임플란트 (implant)용으로 쓰이기 시작했으며 현재는 치과(dentistry)및 정형외과(orthopaedics) 분야에서 그 쓰임과 규모는 실로 막대하다. 최근에 생명공학(biotechnology)의 발달과 더불어 생체재료나 조직공학(tissue engineering) 분야가 새롭게 대두되면서, 생체세라믹스를 개발하고자 하는 노력은 선진국을 중심으로 이루어지며, 국내에서도 관심이 집중되고 있다.(중략)

Hydroxyapatite powders were synthesized with Ca/P=1.67 and pH=11 by precipitaton method, after characterization of these specimen, behavior in Ringer's solution and biocompatibility of hydroxyapatite, such as cytotoxity test and implantation test, were investigated. The hydroxyapatite ceramics had structural stability in Ringer's solution, and hydroxyapatite ceramics did not prevent cell growing and exhibit any cytotoxic effects. In implantation of hydroxyapatite ceramics into muscle under abdome of guinea pig, hydroxyapatite ceramics did not show any symptom of rejection for cellular texture.

Biomaterials have been used to supplement and restore function and structure by replacing or restoring parts of damaged tissues and organs. In ancient times, the medical use of biomaterials was limited owing to infection during surgery and poor surgical techniques. However, in modern times, the medical applications of biomaterials are diversifying owing to great developments in material science and medical technology. In this paper, we introduce biomaterials, focusing on calcium phosphate ceramics, including octacalcium phosphate, which has recently attracted attention as a bone graft material.

Purpose: Among available biomaterials, bioceramics have drawn special interest due to their bioactivity and the possibility of tailoring their composition. The degradation rate and formulation of bioceramics can be altered to mimic the compositions of the mineral phase of bone. The aim of this study was to investigate the bone formation effect of amorphous calcium phosphate glass cement (CPGC) synthesized by a melting and quenching process. Methods: In five male beagle dogs, $4{\times}4$ mm 1-wall intrabony defects were created bilaterally at the mesial or distal aspect of the mandibular second and fourth premolars. Each of the four defects was divided according to graft materials: CPGC with collagen membrane (CM), biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) with CM, CM alone, or a surgical flap operation only. The dogs were sacrificed 8 weeks post-surgery, and block sections of the defects were collected for histologic and histometric analysis. Results: There were significant differences in bone formation and cementum regeneration between the experimental and control groups. In particular, the CPGC and BCP groups showed greater bone formation than the CM and control groups. Conclusions: In conclusion, CPGC was replaced rapidly with an abundant volume of new bone; CPGC also contributed slightly to regeneration of the periodontal apparatus.

The purpose of this study was to compare effects of the bioceramics on healing processes of the alveolar bone defects in dogs. Five adult dogs aged 1 to 2 years were used in this study. Experimental alveolar bone defects were created surgically with a #1/2 round bur at the furcation area of the buccal surface of the mandibular 3rd, 4th premolars and 1st molar. Fifteen experimental alveolar bone defects were devided into three groups according to the type of graft materials. The groups were as follows : 1) flap operation with dense hydroxyapatite( DHA group ) 2) flap operation with porous hydroxyapatite( PHA group ) 3) flap operation with natural coral ( NC group ) At 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks, dogs were serially sacrificed and specimens were prepared with Hematoxylin-Eosin stain and Mallory stain for light microscopic evaluation. The results of this study were as follows : 1. In every group, inflammatory cell infiltrations were seen at 1st weeks due to surgical trauma, however inflammatory response owing to graft materials were not seen. 2. In every group, the appearance of connective tissue around graft materials was loosely formed at the initial stages, however the connective tissue was densely formed at 2 weeks. 3. The presence of osteocytes were observed at 2 weeks in the natural coral group, however the osteocytes were appeared at 6weeks in the dense hydroxyapatite group. 4. A new bone was formed from the base and walls of the defect and gradually expanded toward the graft materials. 5. A resorption of the natural coral occurred irregularly at the periphery of the material, therefore the size and shape of the natural coral were reduced at 6 weeks. 6. At 12 weeks, the porous hydroxyapatite and natural coral were surrounded by newly formed bone most completely, however dense hydroxyapatite was surrounded by newly formed bone in part.
