A fibrin adhesive have been widely used in oral and maxillofacial surgery for microvascular anastomosis, autogenous chip bone grafts, many kinds of soft tissue surgery (vestibuloplasty, bleeding control after extraction, primary healing by covering of suture of a gum after the extirpation of large cysts). There are two principal components in adhesive systems biologically: lyophilized human fibrinogen and bovine thrombin. The fibrinogen component contains coagulation factor XIII and enhance the initial wound healing, which polymerizes soluble fibrin monomers into an insoluble clot. The thrombin is dissolved in a solution of calcium chloride to provide the second component. We applied fibrin adhesive, Beriplast (Behring, Behringwerke AG, D-3350, Marburg, FRD), to 4 patients for fixation of free skin grafting donors who had facial scar around eye, nose, mouth corner which received from accidents, or burn. We have experienced initial accelerated graft fixation between donor and recipient sites with no additional fixation. And It's made easy bleeding control and easy manipulation during operation. But two cases showed partial hypertrophic scar engrowth in above 3 months follow up, but no significant. Histopathological reviews in general were showed similar scar findings such as abundant collagen bundles in H&E, M/T stain, but slight positive signs in elastic and collagen antibody immunopathologic findings in hypertrophic scar cases.

The enhanced differentiation and activation of osteoclasts (OCs) in the inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and gout causes not only local bone erosion, but also systemic osteoporosis, leading to functional disabilities and morbidity. The induction and amplification of NFATc1, a master regulator of OC differentiation, is mainly regulated by receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) ligand-RANK and calcium signaling which are amplified in the inflammatory milieu, as well as by inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα, IL-1β and IL-6. Moreover, the predominance of CD4⁺ T cell subsets, which varies depending on the condition of inflammatory diseases, can determine the fate of OC differentiation. Anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies which are critical in the pathogenesis of RA can bind to the citrullinated vimentin on the surface of OC precursors, and in turn promote OC differentiation and function via IL-8. In addition to adaptive immunity, the activation of innate immune system including the nucleotide oligomerization domain leucine rich repeat with a pyrin domain 3 inflammasome and TLRs can regulate OC maturation. The emerging perspectives about the diverse and close interactions between the immune cells and OCs in inflammatory milieu can have a significant impact on the future direction of drug development.

It is known that bones get damaged by accidents and aging. Since the discovery of Bioglass, various kinds of ceramics have been also found to bond to living bone; some of these ceramics are already being clinically used as bone-repairing materials. In the present study, antibacterial calcium silicate gel ($Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel) was prepared by sol-gel method in order to control the microstructure, which is related to the dissolution rate and induction period of apatite formation in body environment. In addition, biological $Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ is tested. This was done to impart antimicrobial activity to the $30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$. Ag ion was added during sol-gel synthesis to replace the $H_2O$ added during the making of the $30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel, which has silver solutions of various concentration. After the sol-gel process, 1N-$HNO_3$ solution was used to wash the gel when synthesizing the gel, in order to maintain the porous structure and remove PEG, water soluble polymers. Then, the apatite forming ability of the sol-gel derived CaO-$SiO_2$ gels was investigated using simulated body fluid (SBF), which had almost the same ion concentration as that of human blood plasma. The gels were analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM observation, XRD, and fluorescent microscopy. The apatite was successfully created even after washing the gel; apatite is present in an amorphous state, and was found to affect the concentration of the Ag ion in cells in MC3T3 live & dead assay results. From these results, it is suggested that a good material that can be used to repair defects of nature bone is $Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel.

Objective : The loosening of pedicle screws (PS) is one of the frequent problems of spinal surgery in the patients with osteoporosis. Previous studies had revealed that intermittent injection of teriparatide could reduce PS loosening by improving bone mass and quality when their patients took parathyroid hormone for a considerable duration before surgery. However, although the teriparatide is usually used after spine surgery in most clinical situations, there was no report on the efficacy of teriparatide treatment started after spine surgery. The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine the efficacy of teriparatide treatment started immediately after lumbar spinal surgery to prevent pedicle screw loosening in patients with osteoporosis. Methods : We included 84 patients with osteoporosis and degenerative lumbar disease who underwent transforaminal interbody fusion and PS fixation and received parathyroid hormone or bisphosphonate (BP) postoperatively. They were divided into teriparatide group (daily injection of $20{\mu}g$ of teriparatide for 6 months, 33 patients, 172 screws) and BP group (weekly oral administration of 35 mg of risedronate, 51 patients, 262 screws). Both groups received calcium (500 mg/day) and cholecalciferol (1000 IU/day) together. The screw loosening was evaluated with simple radiographic exams at 6 and 12 months after the surgery. We counted the number of patients with PS loosening and the number of loosened PS, and compared them between the two groups. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) preoperatively, and at 12 months after surgery. Results : There was no significant difference in the age, sex, diabetes, smoking, bone mineral density, body mass index, and the number of fusion levels between the two groups. The number of PS loosening within 6 months after surgery did not show a significant difference between the teriparatide group (6.9%, 12/172) and the BP group (6.8%, 18/272). However, during 6-12 months after surgery, it was significantly lower in the teriparatide group (2.3%, 4/172) than the BP group (9.2%, 24/272) (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of patients showing PS loosening between the teriparatide and BP groups. The teriparatide group showed a significantly higher degree of improvement of the bone mineral density (T-score) than that of BP group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in the pre- and post-operative VAS and ODI between the groups. Conclusion : Our data suggest that the teriparatide treatment starting immediately after lumbar spinal fusion surgery could reduce PS loosening compared to BP.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of vitamin D nutritional status on bone mineral density of adults (21-49 years). To attain the aim, we measured bone mineral density (BMD) of the subjects at distal radius by single-photon absorptiometry (SPA). Serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D(25-(OH)D) , known to be the best indicator of indicator of vitamin D status in humans was analyzed . The factors affecting this vitamin D level were also investigated in autumn in 122 young adults. Serum level of 25-(OH)D was measured by high pressure liquid chromatography(HPLC) and biochemical variables, general health status, time spent outdoors, and dietary intakes of the subjects. BMD of the male subjects was significantly greater than that of female subjects. Weight, activity and total energy expediture (TEE) showed a positive correlation with distal BMD. The mean level of serum 25-(OH)D was 24.4$\pm$11.0 ng./ml and by sex, 26.0$\pm$6.8ng/ml for males and 23.3$\pm$12.3ng/ml for females , the level was significantly higher in male (p<0.01). there was significant correlation between BMD at distal-radius and s-25(OH)D levels (p<0.001). The serum level fo parathyroid hormone (PTH) showed a negative correlation with BMD(p<0.05), with the more obvious correlation in females. Vitamin D intake was estimated to be 3.75$\pm$2.19ug/day in average. Among the nutrients studied, protein ,fat, calcium , and vitamin D intake were positively correlated with distal BMD. When food frequencies were concerned , milk and dairy products showed a significant positive correlation with the BMD level, and driedfoods, eggs , fats and oils, and cereals also showed a positive correlation. Time spent outdoors was estimated to be about 70 minutes in average and positively correlated with the distal BMD level(p<0.01). During the day, the specific time between 12 :00pm and 2:00pm showed the most significant correlation with BMD (p<0.001). Multiple regression analysis with the variables showed that distal BMD could be fit 31.9% by the time spent outdoors a day, intake of Ca and vitamin D, and TEE. The standardized estimates were 0.344 for vitamin D intake, 0.284 for Ca intake 0.179 for the time spent outdoors a day and 0.273 for TEE. For males, s-25*OH)D level, TEE and time spent outdoors during a day showed a significant correlation. For females, intake of Ca and vitamin D could fit about 27.1% of the distal BMD.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among nutrient intakes, BMD, serum copper, zinc and manganese contents in Korean postmenopausal women residing in Seoul and Kyunggi-do. Nutrient intakes analyses and anthropometric measurements were performed for 64 postmenopausal women. Also, fasting blood samples were collected. The BMDs of the lumbar spine (L2-L4) and femoral neck were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Subjects were classified into three groups: osteoporosis (T-score ${\leq}$ -2.5, n = 20), osteopenia (-2.5 < T-score ${\leq}$ -1, n = 24), and normal (T-score) -1, n = 20). The results are summarized as follows; the mean age, height and weight were 62.1 yrs, 153.8 em, and 56.1 kg, respectively, with no significant difference among three groups. On the other hand, the mean BMI $(23.7\;g/m^2)$ of normal group was significantly higher than those of other two groups. The mean energy intake was 1,395.3 kcal (77.5% of Dietary referance intakes for koreans (KDRls)). The average daily intakes of vitamin $B_2$, calcium and zinc did not reach KDRIs. The mean intakes of iron, copper, zinc and manganese were 10.9 mg, 1.6 mg, 7.8 mg and 5.1 mg respectively, with no significant difference among three groups, The mean serum levels of copper, zinc and manganese were 96.4 mg/dl, 91.5 mg/dl and 39.5 ng/dl, respectively with no significant differences among three groups. The BMD of lumbar spine showed a significantly negative correlation intakes of animal protein, fat and iron intakes after adjusting for age, Bill. However, the BMD of lumbar spine was not significantly correlated with animal iron intakes after adjusting for animal protein, and fat intakes, indicating animal food intake is a possible confounding factor. Proper intakes of vitamin $B_2$, vitamin C are required to protect osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. These results suggest that excessive animal food intakes may have adverse effect on bone mineral density. Further studies arc necessary to elucidate the role of serum minerals in BMD.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface properties and in vitro bioactivity to osteoblasts of magnesium and magnesium-hydroxyapatite coated titanium. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Themagnesium (Mg) and magnesium-hydroxyapatite (Mg-HA) coatings on titanium (Ti) substrates were prepared by radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering.The samples were divided into non-coated smooth Ti (Ti-S group), Mg coatinggroup (Ti-Mg group), and Mg-HA coating group (Ti-MgHA group).The surface properties were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The surface roughness was evaluated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Cell adhesion, cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were evaluated using MC3T3-E1 cells. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis was performed. RESULTS. Cross-sectional SEM images showed that Mg and Mg-HA depositionson titanium substrates were performed successfully. The surface roughness appeared to be similaramong the three groups. Ti-MgHA and Ti-Mg group had improved cellular responses with regard to the proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and bone-associated markers, such as bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin (OCN) mRNA compared to those of Ti-S group. However, the differences between Ti-Mg group and Ti-MgHA group were not significant, in spite of the tendency of higher proliferation, ALP activity and BSP expression in Ti-MgHA group. CONCLUSION. Mg and Mg-HAcoatings could stimulate the differentiation into osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, potentially contributing to rapid osseointegration.

갱년기의 여성에는 여러 폐경 증후들이 나타나는데, 특히 에스트로겐의 감소로 인한 혈중의 지질 조성의 변화 등으로 인한 심혈관계 질환과 골 손실의 증가로 인한 골다공증의 위험성이 높아 이에 대한 예방 및 치료에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 쉽게 섭취 할 수 있으며,부작용이 없는 해조류인 청각 추출물을 난소제거술을 통한 갱년기 유도 흰쥐에 투여하여 결합조직 중의 collagen과 pyridinoline함량, 혈 중 ALP활성 변화를 통해 갱년기 장애 질환의 개선효과를 알아보았다. 청각 추출물이 골 노화에 미치는 영향을 실험 한 결과 난소 절제에 의한 골 손실에 의해 결합조직의 collagen 함량이 감소하였으나, 청각 추출물의 투여로 인해 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 청각 추출물이 에스트로겐 감소로 인해 저하되는 collagen 합성능을 회복 시켜 유익한 효과를 가지는 것으로 추측된다. 또한 골 및 연골조직에서 collagen 성숙가교인 pyridinoline 함량을 HPLC에 의해 측정한 결과, 연골 중 pyridinoline함량은 난소절제에 의해 감소되었으나 청각 추출물 투여로 인해 난소를 절제하지 않은 SHAM군과 비슷한 수준으로 증가하여 pyridinoline 생성에 유익한 효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터 갱년기 장애 시 유발되는 골 노화에 청각 추출물이 유효한 효과를 나타낼 것으로 기대된다.

한국인의 최근 커피소비의 급격한 증가는 카페인의 과다 섭취로 이어지고 이는 칼슘흡수를 낮춰 골밀도 저하를 야기할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국 폐경 후 여성 커피소비자에서 우유섭취 여부가 골밀도에 차이를 가져올 수 있는지 파악하고자 국민건강영양조사 제4기 2, 3차년도(2008년, 2009년) 자료를 이용하여 50세 이상 폐경 후 여성을 대상으로 갑상선장애, 만성질환, 암을 진단받거나 치료받는 자, 골다공증 치료를 받는자와 여성호르몬제 복용자를 제외한 1,373명의 자료를 분석하였다. 커피와 우유 섭취 여부에 따라 커피는 섭취하나 우유를 섭취하지 않는군 (커피군), 커피와 우유를 모두 섭취하는군 (커피 우유군), 커피를 섭취하지 않으면서 우유를 섭취하는군 (우유군), 커피와 우유를 모두 섭취하지 않는군 (비섭취군)의 네 군으로 분류하고 부위별 골밀도와 영양상태를 비교하였다. 모든 자료는 해당 년도의 가중치를 적용한 후 일반선형모델을 사용하였고, 골밀도 비교시에는 연령, 체질량지수, 신체활동, 음주, 흡연, 칼슘섭취량을 보정하여 분석하였다. 유의성은 ${\alpha}=0.05$ 수준에서 검토하였다. 1) 전체 대상자 중 커피 우유군은 65세미만의 젊은 층이 많고 교육수준과 소득수준이 높고, 도시 거주자가 많았다. 반면에 비섭취군과 커피군은 65세 이상이 많고 교육수준과 소득수준이 낮으며 읍 면 거주자가 많았다. 커피 우유군에서 음주자의 비율이 높았으나, 신체적 활동 정도나 흡연에서는 군 간에 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 2) 총대퇴골과 요추부위의 골밀도 및 T-score값은 커피 우유군에서 세 군에 비해 가장 높았고 우유군, 커피군의 순으로 높았으며, 비섭취군에서 가장 낮았다. T-score값으로 골 건강상태를 판정하였을 때 유의성은 나타나지 않았으나, 커피 우유군에 골밀도 정상 해당자가 많고 우유군, 커피군이 그 뒤를 이었고, 비섭취군에 골다공증 해당자가 많이 나타나는 경향을 보였다. 3) 허리둘레를 제외하고는 체중, 신장, 체질량지수, 제지방조직량이 커피 우유군에서 모두 높았다. 반면에 커피군은 커피 우유군에 비해 이들 체위계측치가 모두 낮았고, 또한 우유군에 비해 신장은 낮고 체중은 높아 체질량지수가 높고 허리둘레도 높은 대신 제지방량은 낮았다. 우유군은 네군 중 체질량지수와 허리둘레가 가장 낮고 제지방량은 커피 우유군 다음으로 높았다. 비섭취군은 네군 중 체중, 신장, 제지방량이 가장 낮았고 허리둘레는 가장 높았다. 혈청부갑상선호르몬 농도는 비섭취군에서 높았고 우유군에서 가장 낮았다. 4) 커피 우유군은 대다수 식품군의 섭취 빈도가 다른 세군에 비해 높았다. 우유군은 총곡류와 우유류를 제외하고 대다수 식품군의 섭취빈도가 커피 우유군에 비해 낮았으나, 육 난류, 어류, 버섯류와 과일류는 커피 우유군에 필적하는 수준이었고 커피군에 비해서는 대다수 식품군에서 더 높은 섭취빈도를 나타내었다. 영양소섭취상태는 조사대상 영양소 중 나트륨과 칼륨에서만 유의성이 없었을 뿐, 칼슘을 포함하여 에너지, 단백질과 인, 철분, 비타민 C와 지방에너지비가 두 우유군 (커피 우유군과 우유군)에서 비슷하게 높았고, 5개 영양소의 평균 영양소적정섭취비 (MAR) 역시 두 우유군에서 높았다. 반면에 커피군과 비섭취군은 다수 식품군의 섭취빈도가 낮게 나타났고 미량 영양소의 섭취 수준도 상대적으로 낮았다. 이상의 연구결과에서 한국 폐경 여성 커피 섭취자에서 커피 비섭취자에 비하여 골밀도가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 커피와 우유를 함께 섭취한 군이 커피 단독군에 비해, 또 커피를 안 마시고 우유만 섭취하는 군에 비해 골밀도도 높고 체위와 체조성과 무기질 및 전반적인 영양상태가 양호한 것으로 나타났으며, 커피 단독군에 비해, 우유만 섭취하는 군이 골밀도와 체조성 및 영양섭취상태가 모두 양호한 결과를 보였다. 결론적으로 한국 폐경여성에서 우유를 포함한 다양한 식품군과 균형잡힌 영양섭취를 하는 경우, 단순히 커피 섭취가 골밀도에 영향을 주는 것 같지는 않다.
