The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of chitosan-calcium sulfate mixture on early bony consolidation in osteodistracted dogs. The experimental group was divided into 3 groups: saline group(Control), chitosan group(Group CH) and chitosan-calcium sulfate mixture group(Group CH+CS). Four dogs were allocated to each group and classified into B week observation subgroups and 5 week observation subgroups, respectively. Two dogs were allocated to each subgroup. The lateral surface of the left mandibular body was exposed in the subperiosteal plane and vertical osteotomy was carried out on the mandibular body. An external distraction device was applied to the mandibular body. Mandibular distraction was started 5 days after the osteotomy at a rate of 1 m per day for a total of 10 w distraction for 10 days. After completion of distraction, chitosan, chitosan-calcium sulfate and saline were injected into the distracted zone of the group CH, group CH+CS and control. The external device was left in place for 3 or 5 weeks to allow for bony consolidation. Serial radiographs were carried out every week. Two dogs of each group, six dogs in total, were sacrificed at 3 weeks, and the other six dogs at 5 week after distraction. Bone specimens of the distracted mandibles were taken for histologic examination. New bone was not noted in the distracted zone of 3 week observation subgroups in the control and group CH. However, new bone was developed in the group CH+CS with a narrow fibrous interzone in the area of the distracted zone. While osteogenesis was mild in the margin of the distracted Bone of 5 week observation subgroup in the control, new bone was noted much in the group CH and group CH+CS. However, osteogenesis was noted more significantly in the group CH+CS than that of group CH. In conclusion, chitosan-calcium sulfate mixture was more effective on early bony consolidation in distraction osteogenesis

Purpose: To compare different regimens of vitamin D with respect to its serum increment levels and bone mineral accrual in vitamin D-deficient children. Methods: Children identified as being vitamin D deficient (serum levels<20 ng/mL) were divided into 3 treatment groups by stratified block randomization (group 1, 4,000 IU/day of vitamin D3 plus 50 mg/kg/day calcium for 12 weeks; group 2, 30,000 IU/wk of vitamin D3 plus 50 mg/kg/day calcium for 12 weeks; and group 3, 300,000 IU of vitamin D3 once intramuscularly plus 50 mg/kg/day calcium). After regimen completion, each child received a maintenance dose of 400 IU/day vitamin D3 plus 50 mg/kg/day calcium. Their serum vitamin D level was measured after 3 and 12 months. Total body less head bone mineral concentration (BMC) and total body less head bone mineral density (BMD) were measured after 12 months. Results: The mean increment in serum vitamin D levels from baseline to 3 months was significantly higher in group 3 than in groups 1 and 2, but the levels from 3 to 12 months were almost similar among all 3 groups. There were no significant differences among the 3 groups with respect to percentage increase of BMD and BMC. Conclusion: The injectable form of vitamin D was more efficacious than the oral forms in increasing the serum level to the normal range. All 3 regimens were equally effective in increasing the BMC and BMD. The 400 IU/day maintenance dose was sufficient to keep the serum level within the normal range.

Purpose: The aim of this review is to introduce a novel bone-graft material for hard-tissue regeneration based on the calcium phosphate glass(CPG). Materials and Methods: CPG was synthesized by melting and subsequent quenching process in the system of CaO-$CaF_2-P_2O_5$-MgO-ZnO having a much lower Ca/P ratio than that of conventional calcium phosphates such as HA or TCP. The biodegradability and bioactivity were performed. Effects on the proliferation, calcification and mineralization of osteoblast-like cells were examined in vitro. Influence in new bone and cementum formations was investigated in vivo using calvarial defects of Sprague-Dawley rats as well as 1-wall intrabony defect of beagle dogs. The application to the tissue-engineered macroporous scaffold and in vitro and in vivo tests was explored. Results: The extent of dissolution decreased with increasing Ca/P ratio. Exposure to either simulated body fluid or fetal bovine serum caused precipitation on the surface. The calcification and mineralization of osteoblast-like cells were enhanced by CPG. CPG promoted new bone and cementum formation in the calvarial defect of Sprague-Dawley rats after 8 weeks. The macroporous scaffolds can be fabricated with $500{\sim}800{\mu}m$ of pore size and a three-dimensionally interconnected open pore system. The stem cells were seeded continuously proliferated in CPG scaffold. Extracellular matrix and the osteocalcin were observed at the $2^{nd}$ days and $4^{th}$ week. A significant difference in new bone and cementum formations was observed in vivo (p<0.05). Conclusion: The novel calcium phosphate glass may play an integral role as potential biomaterial for regeneration of new bone and cementum.

An experiment was carried out to compare the body weight, shank length, rectal temperature, comb area, abdominal fat, blood parameters and bone traits of capon, slip and intact birds in Taiwan country chicken cockerels. One hundred and sixty-six Taiwan country chicken cockerels were randomly assigned to caponized or intact male groups. Caponized birds were surgically altered at 10 weeks old and raised to 28 weeks old. At 28 weeks of age, the capons were separated into capon and slip groups, depending on the atrophy of the comb and wattle in size. The results showed that body weight and shank length in slips were significantly (p<0.05) greater than in intact birds. Intact birds had the highest (p<0.05）feather scores and the lowest (p<0.05) rectal temperature. Compared with intact birds and slips, capons had a significantly (p<0.05) smaller comb area. Bone percentage, stress and cortical thickness, and bone and ash calcium content and plasma testosterone concentration, in intact birds were the highest (p<0.05) followed by slips and capons. However, intact birds had the lowest (p<0.05) plasma ionized calcium and phosphorus concentrations. Bone and ash manganese contents in capons were significantly (p<0.05)lower than those in others. These findings support the hypothesis that androgenic effects on secondary sexual characteristics are stronger than anabolic growth promoting response. Androgens can directly influence calcium fluxes in male chickens. Caponized caused a reduction in the bone percentage, stress, cortical thickness and bone calcium content.

골은 일생에 걸쳐 지속적인 재형성과장을 거치면서 유지되고 이러한 기전에 대한 연구는 골다공증을 비롯한 골대사 질환의 병태생리와 치료에 있어 큰 진전을 이루고 있다. 특히 생체 내 골형성 및 재생과정을 연구하는데 있어 형광표지자를 이용하는 방법이 널리 알려져 있는데, 그 중 calcein은 칼슘 킬레이터로 골이 새롭게 형성하는 부위에 녹색을 띔으로써 유용한 마커로 사용된다. 그러나 대부분의 골형성 연구에서 실험동물의 경우 표본제작을 할 때 크기가 작고 뼈가 부숴지기 쉬워 rat이나 rabbit을 이용하였으며, mice의 femur를 cross-section해서 관찰한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 어린 mice를 실험동물로 이용하였으며, 생체 내 calcein을 4주간, 8주간 투여한 후 골 형성 변화를 형광현미경으로 관찰한 결과 8주차 쥐에서 4주차보다 진하고 골 형성 간격도 넓게 관찰된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. Mice는 빠른 시일 내에 결과를 얻을 수 있고 부작용이 적은 장점이 있어서 앞으로 knock-out mice를 이용한 생체 내 실험에 활용하기 적합하다고 생각되며, 골형성 속도 평가 등 다양한 분야에서의 골 형성과 재생연구에 있어 기초 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구는 칼슘 급원으로서 $\beta-glucan-egg$ shell calcium complex($\beta-glucan-Ca$ 복합체)의 유효성을 확인하여 칼슘 보충제 개발에 활용하고자 실시하였다. 신령버섯에서 추출한 $\beta-glucan$과 난각의 Ca을 결합시켜 $\beta-glucan-Ca$ 복합체로 제조하여 골다공증 실험동물에서 $\beta-glucan$ 및 $\beta-glucan-Ca$ 복합체가 골 대사에 미치는 효과를 비교하였다. 10주령의 Sprague-Dewley 암컷 흰쥐의 양쪽 난소를 절제(OVX)한 후 실험식 이를 급여하였으며 Sham-대조군(Sham-C)은 실험군과 동일한 스트레스를 주기 위해 난소를 절제하지 않고 개복수술만 실시한 후 실험하였다. 식이조성은 Sham-C, OVX-대조군(OVX-C)와 $OVX-\beta-glucan$군(OVX-G)은 $CaCO_3$로 Ca 함량이 0.5%가 되도록 조정하였으며, OYX-G군은 $\beta-glucan$을 첨가하여 제공하였다. $OVX-\beta-glucan-Ca$ 복합체군(OVX-GE)은 $\beta-glucan-Ca$ 복합체의 Ca 농도가 0.5% 함유하도록 조정하여 실험식이를 각각 조제하여 6주간 급여하였다. 체중 100 g당 건조시킨 대퇴골의 무게는 Sham-C>OVX-GE>OVX-C와 OVX-G의 순으로 나타나 $\beta-glucan-Ca$ 복합체를 제공한 OVX-GE에서 다른 OVX군에 비해 상대적으로 골 무게가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 대퇴골의 골밀도는 각 군 간의 유의적인 차이를 보였으며 Sham-C에 비해 $\beta-glucan$을 첨가한 식이를 제공받은 군에서 골밀도가 상대적으로 높은 수준을 보였고 특히 OVX-GE에서 가장 높은 골밀도를 보였다. Ca체내 흡수율과 보유량은 각 군 간에 유의적인 차이를 보였으며 OVX-C가 Sham-C에 비해 높았으며 OVX군에서는 $\beta-glucan$를 첨가한 군이 높은 수준을 보였다. ALP의 활성은 OVX군에서는 $\beta-glucan$을 첨가한 군이 다소 낮은 경향을 보였다. 요 중의 골 흡수 지표인 DPD crosslink value는 각 군 간의 유의적인 차이를 보였고 OVX군의 DPD crosslink value가 Sham-C에 비해 현저하게 높은 수준으로 나타나 OVX군의 골 흡수가 높음을 확인할 수 있었다. OVX군에서 $\beta-glucan$을 첨가한 식이를 제공한 OVX-G와 OYX-GE의 DPD crosslink value가 OVX-C에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 수준이었으며 $\beta-glucan$이 난소 절제 흰쥐 모델에서 골 대사에 영향을 미쳐 골 흡수율을 낮추어 골 보호효과를 나타내는 것으로 보인다. 이상의 결과들로 미루어 볼 때, 비록 $\beta-glucan$을 제공한 군과 $\beta-glucan-Ca$ 복합체를 제공한 두 군 간에는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나 난소절제 흰쥐모델의 골 대사에서 $\beta-glucan-Ca$복합체 형태가 골다공증 예방을 위한 기능성 식품으로서의 가능성을 보여주었으며, 앞으로 골다공증 예방을 위한 $\beta-glucan-Ca$ 복합체 형태의 효과적인 농도는 계속적으로 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was performed to differentiate calcium oxalate and struvite canine urinary stones using computed tomography. A total of 38 urinary stones (8 calcium oxalate and 30 struvite) were scanned using a computed tomography scanner. These urinary stones (10-15 mm diameter) extracted surgically without fragmentation were obtained from the different individual patients. The stone's Hounsfield units(HU) values, heterogenicity, and roughness of surface were evaluated to differentiate calcium oxalate and struvite. The HU values of calcium oxalate were significantly higher than those of struvite. A receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve revealed 1272 as the best threshold value to distinguish calcium oxalate from struvite (ROC curve AUC 0.87, p < 0.0014). The heterogenicity of calcium oxalate and struvite significantly differed on bone and dental window setting (p < 0.0001). There was no significant difference between calcium oxalate and struvite in roughness of surface. On computed tomographic images, bone and dental windows setting were useful for evaluation of heterogenicity between calcium oxalate and struvite. The HU value and heterogenicity are highly promising factor that can distinguish calcium oxalate and struvite with reasonable accuracy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of morphology and structure of bone tissue in the irradiated mandibular bone in rats which were fed a low calcium diet. In order to carry out this experimant, 64 seven-week old Sprague-Dawley strain rats weighing about 150gms were selected and equally divided into one experimental group of 32 rats and one control group with the remainder. The experimental group and the control group were then subdivided into two groups when the rats reached ten-week old, 16 were assigned rats for each subdivided group, exposed to irradiation. The two irradiation groups received a single dose of 20 Gy in the jaws area only and irradiated with a cobalt-60 teletherapy unit. The rats in the control and experimental groups were serially terminated by fours on the 3rd, the 7th, the 14th, and the 21st day after irradiation. Following termination, both sides of the dead rats mandibular bodies were removed and fixed with 10% neutral formalin. One side of the mandibular body was radiographed with a soft X-ray apparatus. Thereafter, the obtained microradiographs were observed by a light microscope. The remaining side of the mandibular bone was further decalcified and embedded in paraffin as using the general method. The specimen sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and Rabit Anti-Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-a, observed by a light microscope. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Microradiogram revealed that thinning of the cortex and a decrease in the trabecula of the interradicular bone and mandibular body were observed and noted from the start to finish throughout the experiment in the non-irradiated rats on the low calcium diet rather than in the non-irradiated rats on the normal diet. In microscopic observations, there were marked osteolytic changes in the center of the bone marrow. 2. Microradiogram revealed that thinning of the cortex and a decrease in the trabecula of interradicular bone and mandibular body were more marked after 7 days in the irradiated rats on the low calcium diet rather than in the non-irradiated rats on the low clacium diet. In microscopic observations, osteoblasts were decreased markedly after 7 days, and a few osteoclasts were observed. 3. Microradiogram revealed that thinning of the cortex and a decrease in trabecula of interradicular bone and the mandibular body were more marked from the strart to finish troughout the experiment in the irradiated rats on the low calcium diet rather than in the irradiated rats on the normal diet. In microscopic observations, there were no osteolytic changes noted in the irradiated rats on the normal diet. 4. In immunocytochemical findings, a few bone marrow cells including Tumor Necrosis Factor were observed in the irradiated rats on the normal diet, but was not observed in the rats on the low calcium diet.

Background: Bone grafts can provide an optimal environment for permanent tooth to erupt and enhance the stability of the alveolar maxilla. Although autologous bone is an optimal source for osteogenesis, its inevitable donor site morbidity has led to active research on bone substitutes. This study was designed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP; Osteon) as a bone substitute in dogs. Methods: Bilateral third and fourth premolars of four 15-week-old mongrel dogs were used. All teeth were extracted except the third premolar of the right mandible, which was used as a control. After extraction of the premolars, each dog was administered BCP (Osteon), demineralized bone matrix (DBM; DBX), and no graft in the hollow sockets of the right fourth premolar, left fourth premolar, and left third premolar, respectively. Radiographs were taken at 2-week intervals to check for tooth eruption. After 8 weeks, each dog was sacrificed, and tooth and bone biopsies were performed to check for the presence of tooth and bone substitute particle remnants. Results: Four weeks after the operation, permanent tooth eruptions had started at all the extraction sites in each dog. Eight weeks after the operation, all teeth had normally erupted, and histological examination revealed BCP particles at the right fourth premolar. Conclusion: In all four dogs, no delay in the eruption of the teeth or shape disfigurement of permanent teeth was observed on gross inspection and radiologic evaluation. On histological examination, most of the BCP and DBM were replaced by new bone. Bone substitutes can be used as graft materials in patients with alveolar clefts.
