골형성 유도 단백질(bone morphogenetic protein, BMP)은 성장이나, 골형성과정에서 중용한 역할을 한다고 입증되었고 그것의 운반체에 대한 연구가 이뤄져 왔다. 하지만 수직압이 존재하는 곳에서 골증대술에 적용할 수 있을 만큼 강한 공간유지능력이 있는 운반체에 대한 연구는 그리 많지 않았다. Macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate block (MBCP block)은 공간유지능력이 뛰어나며 강한 수직압을 견딜수 있는 골대체물질이다. 이 연구의 목적은 MBCP block을 골형성유도 단백질(rhBMP-2)의 운반체로 사용하여 백서 두개골 결손부에 적용하였을 때, 골 형성 효과를 평가하는 것이다. 36마리의 웅성백서에서 8mm 지름을 갖는 임계크기의 두 개부 결손을 형성하였다. 20마리씩 2개의 군으로 나누어 MBCP block만 이식한 군, MBCP block을 운반체로 사용하여 농도 0.025mg/ml rhBMP-2를 이식한 군으로 나누어 술 후 2주와 8주에 치유결과를 조직학적, 조직계측학적으로 비교 관찰 하였다. 조직계측학적 관찰 결과, rhBMP-2/MBCP block 군에서 MBCP block군에서 보다 2, 8주 모두 골밀도(bone density)가 유의성있게 증가하였다 (P<0.01). 각 군에서도 8주째가 2주째보다 골밀도가 유의성있게 증가하였다(P<0.01). 총조직 형성량 (augmented area)에서는 변화가 없었다. 이 연구 결과, 백서 두개골 결손부에서 MBCP block은 rhBMP의 운반체로 사용하였을 때 신생골 형성에 유의한 효과가 있을뿐 아니라 공간유지능력이 우수해서 수직압이 존재하는 골증대술(bone augmentation)시 rhBMP의 운반체로 가능성이 있다고 사료된다.

Intervertebral disc(IVD) mainly consists of Annulus fibrosus(AF) and Nucleus pulposus(NP), playing a role of distributing a mechanical load on vertebral body. IVD tissue engineering has been developed the methods to achieve anatomic morphology and restoration of biological function. The goal of present study is to identify the possibilities for creating a substitute of IVD the morphology and biological functions are the same as undamaged complete IVD. To fabricate the AF and NP combine biphasic IVD tissue, AF tissue scaffolds have been printed by 3D bio-printing system with natural biomaterials and NP tissues have been prepared by scaffold-free culture system. We evaluated whether the combined structure of 3D printed AF scaffold and scaffold-free NP tissue construct could support the architecture and cell functions as IVD tissue. 3D printed AF scaffolds were printed with 60 degree angle stripe patterned lamella structure(the inner-diameter is 5mm, outer-diameter is 10 mm and height is 3 mm). In the cytotoxicity test, the 3D printed AF scaffold showed good cell compatibility. The results of histological and immunohistochemical staining also showed the newly synthesized collagens and glycosaminoglycans, which are specific makers of AF tissue. And scaffold-free NP tissue actively synthesized glycosaminoglycans and type 2 collagen, which are the major components of NP tissue. When we combined two engineered tissues to realize the IVD, combined biphasic tissues showed a good integration between the two tissues. In conclusion, this study describes the fabrication of Engineered biphasic IVD tissue by using enable techniques of tissue engineering. This fabricated biphasic tissue would be used as a model system for the study of the native IVD tissue. In the future, it may have the potential to replace the damaged IVD in the future.

$\rho$, $\alpha$-dimethyl benzyl alcohol was resolved by the biphasic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR). Acidic zeolite was used as a racemization catalyst while immobilized enzyme was employed for kinetic resolution. The effects of the process variables including nature of acyl donor, reaction temperature, substrate concentration, ratio of the two catalysts and stirring rate on the conversion and enantiomeric purity of the product were investigated. In DKR of $\rho$, $\alpha$-dimethyl benzyl alcohol, the product of 99% ee was obtained with a maximum yield of 88%. The high performance of the catalyst system was maintained in the condition of higher TON and under repeated use.

The use of peroxidase in the nitration of phenols is gaining interest as compared with traditional chemical reactions. We investigated the kinetic characteristics of phenol nitration catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in an aqueous-organic biphasic system using n-butanol as the organic solvent and ${NO_2}^-$ and $H_2O_2$ as substrates. The reaction rate was mainly controlled by the reaction kinetics in the aqueous phase when appropriate agitation was used to enhance mass transfer in the biphasic system. The initial velocity of the reaction increased with increasing HRP concentration. Additionally, an increase in the substrate concentrations of phenol (0-2 mM in organic phase) or $H_2O_2$ (0-0.1 mM in aqueous phase) enhanced the nitration efficiency catalyzed by HRP. In contrast, high concentrations of organic solvent decreased the kinetic parameter $V_{max}/K_m$. No inhibition of enzyme activity was observed when the concentrations of phenol and $H_2O_2$ were at or below 10 mM and 0.1 mM, respectively. On the basis of the peroxidase catalytic mechanism, a double-substrate ping-pong kinetic model was established. The kinetic parameters were ${K_m}^{H_2O_2}=1.09mM$, ${K_m}^{PhOH}=9.45mM$, and $V_{max}=0.196mM/min$. The proposed model was well fit to the data obtained from additional independent experiments under the suggested optimal synthesis conditions. The kinetic model developed in this paper lays a foundation for further comprehensive study of enzymatic nitration kinetics.

Kinetic studies of the reactions of N-methyl-Y-${\alpha}$-bromoacetanilides with substituted X-benzylamines have been carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide at $25.0^{\circ}C$. The Hammett plots for substituent X variations in the nucleophiles (log $k_N$ vs ${\sigma}_X$) are slightly biphasic concave upwards/downwards, while the Bronsted plots (log $k_N$ vs $pK_a$) are biphasic concave downwards with breakpoints at X = H. The Hammett plots for substituent Y variations in the substrates (log $k_N$ vs ${\sigma}_Y$) are biphasic concave upwards/downwards with breakpoints at Y = H. The cross-interaction constant $\rho_{XY}$ values are all negative: $\rho_{XY}$ = -0.32 for X = Y = electron-donating; -0.22 for X = electron-withdrawing and Y = electron-donating; -1.80 for X = electron-donating and Y = electronwithdrawing; -1.43 for X = Y = electron-withdrawing substituents. Deuterated kinetic isotope effects are primary normal ($k_H/k_D$ > 1) for Y = electron-donating, while secondary inverse ($k_H/k_D$ < 1) for Y = electronwithdrawing substituent. The proposed mechanisms of the benzylaminolyses of N-methyl-Y-${\alpha}$-bromoacetanilides are a concerted mechanism with a five membered ring TS involving hydrogen bonding between hydrogen (deuterium) atom in N-H(D) and oxygen atom in C = O for Y = electron-donating, while a concerted mechanism with an enolate-like TS in which the nucleophile attacks the ${\alpha}$-carbon for Y = electronwithdrawing substituents.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to histomorphometrically evaluate the osteoconductivity of a new biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics with fully interconnected microporous structure. Material and Methods: Osseous defects created in the rabbit calvaria were filled with four different bone graft substitutes. Experimental sites were filled with a new fully interconnected microporous biphasic calcium phosphate with(BCP-2) or without(BCP-1) internal macropore of $4400\;{\mu}m$ in diameter. MBCP(Biomatlante, France) and Bio-Oss(Geistlich Pharma, Switzerland) were used as controls in this study. Histomorphometric evaluation was performed at 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. Result: In histologic evaluation, new bone formation and direct bony contact with the graft particles were observed in all four groups. At 4 weeks, BCP-1(15.5%) and BCP-2(15.5%) groups showed greater amount of newly formed mineralized bone area(NB%) compared to BO(11.4%) and MBCP(10.3%) groups. The amounts of NB% at 8 weeks were greater than those of 4 weeks in all four groups, but there was no statistically significant differences in NB% between the groups. Conclusion: These results indicate that new bone substitutes, BCP with interconnected microporous structure and with or without internal macroporous structures, have the osteoconductivity comparable to those of commercially available bone substitutes, MBCP and Bio-Oss.

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft tissue neoplasm that occurs frequently in the extremities of young adults, near large joints. The lung is a common site of metastasis but an extremely unusual primary site for synovial sarcoma. We report an unusual case of primary synovial sarcoma that arose in the lung of a 59-year-old woman. The tumor had histologic and immunophenotypic features consistent with biphasic synovial sarcoma These features included of an intimate admixture of cytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen(EMA)-positive neoplastic epithelial cells and vimentin-positive fibroblast-like spindle cells. The patient had a closed thoracomy drainage and doxycycline pleurodesis for malignant loculated effusion and showed tumor extension in the left whole lung 4 months after pleurodesis. This case is an usual addition to the small number of published reports on primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma The distintive features of this neoplasm allow it to be distinguished from a variety of primary and metastatic malignancies in the lung.

The co-precipitation technique has been applied to synthesize Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (BCP), Mg-BCP and Si-BCP. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure of synthesized BCP, Mg-BCP and Si-BCP powders. The results have shown that BCP and substitution of magnesium and silicon in the calcium deficient apatites revealed the formation of biphasic mixtures of Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/${\beta}$-Tricalcium phosphate (${\beta}$-TCP) ratios after heating at $1000^{\circ}C$. Ionic substituted BCP is able to develop a new apatite phase on the surface in contact with physiological fluids faster than BCP does. An MTT assay indicated that BCP, Mg-BCP, and Si-BCP powders had no cytotoxic effects on MG-63 cells, and that they have good biocompatibility.

As an attempt to replacing petroleum-based chemicals with bio-based ones, synthesis of furfural from biomass-derived xylose attracts much attention in recent days. Conventionally, furfural from xylose has been produced via the utilization of highly corrosive, toxic, and environmentally unfriendly mineral acids such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid. In this study, microwave-assisted biphasic reaction process in the presence of novel bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts was developed for the eco-benign and effective synthesis of furfural from xylose. The microwave was irradiated for reaction acceleration and a biphasic system consisting of $H_2O$ : MIBK (1 : 2) was designed for continuous extraction of furfural into the organic phase in order to reduce the undesired side products formed by decomposition/condensation/oligomerization in the acidic aqueous phase. Moreover, sulfonated amorphous carbonaceous materials were prepared from wood powder, the most abundant lignocellulosic biomass. The prepared catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, XPS, BET, elemental analysis and they were used as bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts for the dehydration of xylose into furfural more effectively. For further optimization, the effect of temperature, reaction time, water/organic solvent ratio, and substrate/catalyst ratio on the xylose conversion and furfural yield were investigated and 100% conversion of xylose and 74% yield of furfural was achieved within 5 h at $180^{\circ}C$. The bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts could be used three times without any significant loss of activity. This greener protocol provides highly selective conversion of xylose to furfural as well as facile isolation of product and bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts can alternate the environmentally-burdened mineral acids.

Background Several bone grafting materials have been used in sinus augmentation procedures. Macroporous Biphasic Calcium Phosphate($MBCP^{TM}$) consists of the mixture of 60% HA and 40% ${\beta}-TCP$. Therefore, it can provide good scaffold for the new bone to grow owing to HA, in the other hand, it can have bioactivity for bone remodeling owing to ${\beta}-TCP$. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone formation following maxillary sinus augmentation using $MBCP^{TM}$ by means of histologic analysis. Material and Method $MBCP^{TM}$ was placed as a primary bone substitute for maxillary sinus augmentation. Three patients were selected after evalaution of their medical dental examination. $MBCP^{TM}$ only, $MBCP^{TM}$ combined with Irradicated cancellous bone and $MBCP^{TM}$ combined with autogenous bone were used for each patient. After about eight months, bone biopsies were harvested for histologic evaluation and fixtures installed. Results Eight months after surgery we observed new vital bone surrounding $MBCP^{TM}$ particle and the amount of new bone was about 30% even though there were discrepancies between specimens. This case report documents that $MBCP^{TM}$ when used as a grafting material for sinus floor augmentation whether combined other bone graft material or not, may lead to the predictable results for dental implants on posterior maxillary area with insufficient vertical height for fixture installation.
