The purpose of this study was to study the histopathological correlation between the use of platelet-rich plasma and enamel matrix protein used in conjunction with xenograft. compared to a control group with regards to bone regeneration at the grade III furcation area in beagle dogs. Control group was treated with bovine derived bone $powder(Biocera^{(R)})$, and experimental I group was treated with bovine derived bone powder and Platelet-rich plasma and experimental II group was treated with bovine derived bone powder and Enamel matrix $protein(Emdogain^{(R)})$. The regeneration rate of bone formation was observed and compared histopathologically at 2. 4, and 8 weeks after surgery. The results were as follows: 1. In control group and both experimental groups. inflammatory cells were observed but, new bone formation wasn't. 2. In control group, new cementum on the notch was found in 4 weeks, less mature periodontal ligament when compared to that of experimental group was found and cementum formation was great but, regeneration couldn't be seen in 8 weeks. 3. Experimental I group. new bone formation in the area adjacent to alveolar bone and graft material surrounded by more dense connective tissue were found in 4 weeks. New bone formation up to crown portion was found and periodontal ligament was aligned functionally and cementum more mature. 4. Experimental II group, new bone formation was found under the defect area in 4 weeks and new bone formation around graft material in 8 weeks, too, and there were a number of fibroblasts, blood vessels, acellular cementum, which was less mature when compared to that of experimental I group, and dense collagen fiber like which normal periodontal ligament has in periodontal ligament of experimental II group in 8 weeks. 5. As a result of histologic finding, bone formation rate were 18.0${\pm}$7.87%(control group), 34. 05${pm}$7.25%(experimental I group), 19.33 ${pm}$5.15%(experimental II group) in 4 weeks and 21.89${pm}$1.58%(control group), 38.82${pm}$3.2(experimental I group), 37.65${pm}$9.22%(experimental II group) in 8 weeks. 6. Statistically significant ratio of bone formation was observed in experimental I group in 4 weeks and in experimental II group in 8 weeks. When experimental I group was compared to experimental II group, the ratio of bone formation in experimental I group was higher than that in experimental II group in 4 weeks(p<0.05). This results suggest that platelet-rich plasma showed more new bone formation than enamel matrix protein within 4 weeks. And use of enamel matrix protein in the treatment of periodontal bone defects starts to enhance regeneration after 8 weeks in beagle dogs.

Periodontal disease is characterized by destruction of supporting tissues caused by invasion of plaque bacteria and defense mechanism of host. Many dentists are very interested in laser therapy on various intraoral soft tissue lesions including inflammatory periodontal pocket. In order to determine the therapeutic effect of intrapocket irradiation of a pulsed- Nd : YAG laser on the inflammatory periodontal pockets, bilateral 60 teeth with 4-6mm in probing pocket depth and gingival inflammation were selected and evaluated by sulcus bleeding index(SBI), and plaque index(pI) for baseline record. Intrapocket irradiation($300{\mu}m$ fiber optic, I.5W power, for 2 min.) of a pulsed-Nd : YAG laser(EL.EN.EN060, Italy) was applied on half of them. As the control group, the same procedure except power-off was repeated on the contralateral 30 teeth. At 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-week after intrapocket manipulation, every tooth was reevaluated by the same clinical indices. And the difference between the lased group and control group was statistically analyzed by paired t-test and Chi-square test in Microstat program. Following results were obtained: 1. Until I-week and 2-week after intrapocket manipulation, SBI was lowered in both lased group and control group, compared to baseline SBI, but from 3-week after, the recovering tendency toward baseline was noted, and at only 2-week after, the number of teeth showing lowered SBI was significantly more in lased group than in control group(p<0.05). 2. PI of both lased group and control group was lowered through whole experimental period from I-week to 4-week after, compared to baseline PI(p<0.05), but there was no significant difference between lased group and control group(p>0.1). The results suggest that intrapocket irradiation of a pulsed-Nd:YAG laser may lead somewhat remission of gingival inflammation, but for more favorable therapeutic result the thorough root planing should be necessarily accompanied with gingival curettage.

It is well known that malnutrition is a predictor of mortality in hemodialysis patients. The number of diabetic nephropathy patients is increasing rapidly. This study aimed to investigate nutritional status and nutrient intake according to the presence of diabetes among hemodialysis patients. The nutritional intake and general characteristics of outpatients at Ajou University Hospital (24 with diabetes and 30 without diabetes) were investigated between July and September 2015. Patients' general data were collected, and nutritional status by Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) was evaluated. Nutrient intakes were assessed according to 3-day food records. There was no significant difference regarding body weight between the two groups. However, the non-diabetic group showed a better nutritional status by Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) ($5.2{\pm}4.4$ vs. $8.0{\pm}4.3$ score, non-diabetics vs. diabetics, P<0.05). There was no difference in daily calorie intake ($1,473.9{\pm}370.5$ vs. $1,503.8{\pm}397.5kcal$) and protein intake ($60.3{\pm}19.7$ vs. $65.6{\pm}20.5g$) in those with diabetes. Intakes of vegetables protein, sodium, potassium, vitamin C, folic acid and fiber were significantly higher in the diabetic group compared to those of the non-diabetic group. There was no difference in daily nutrient intake between the hemodialysis weekday and weekend groups. The non-diabetic group had higher calorie and sodium intakes per meal in the hemodialysis weekday group, but the difference was not significant. Based on these results, intervention should be performed to improve nutritional status in consideration of diabetes and dietary patterns.

To investigate the effects of internal radiation of various intensityon the test crop(flax), seeds of four levels of activity($15.5{\times}10-4 $\mu$c/grain, 9.0{\times}10-2$\mu$c/grain, 2.2{\times}100$\mu$c/grain and 3.8{\times}10-1$\mu$c/grain)$ which had been obtained by immersing them into various concentrations of P-32 original solution (total activity: 90 mc, To: 3/21) for 24 hours at room temperature, were germinated, transplanted later into pots, and the rate of germination and the successive growth were observed, and the inorganic conents of the plant top were analyzed. The results are as follows: 1. At the early stage of germination, the plants manifested themselves both inhibitory and promotive effects at higher and lower activity levels respectively, compared those of the control. These difference of growth on account of different levels of activity appeared, however, to be gradually narrowed in the course of time after germination, except at the highest activity. 2. Two weeks after transplanting, the plants of the lowest activity showed more vigorous growth than those of control. The plants belonging to the other activity levels on the other hand, tended to be less growing, the higher the activity. However, this growth gap between treatments seemed to be progressively closed one month after transplanting. 3. Most of the leaves and stems of the plants belonging to the highest activity level ($3.8{\times}101$\mu$c/grain$) were withered during the early stage of growth, and this damage did not recover. 4. Practically no difference of growth was observed among treatments(excluding that of highest activity) one and half months after transplanting. 5. The fluorescence tended to be mroe delayed than the control, as the activity decreased. 6. There was a tendency that the number of pods harvested were larger in the plants treated with P-32 than that of the control. 7. The proportion of fiber in the plants at harvest appeared to be larger at lower activity and smaller at higher P-32 concentration than that of control. 8. As for the inorganic contents of the plant top harvested the floowing tendency was observed: (1) Nitrogen content was highest at the highest activity level at which the poorest growth ensued. (2) There was no clear difference of phosphorus content among treatments. (3) The contents of potassium and magnesium were higher than control at the medium levels of activity. (4) Calcium content of all treated blocks was found to be more than that of control.

출생 후 성장 발육에 따른 흰쥐 유곽유두의 신경분포 및 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 생후 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35일 및 완전히 성장한 흰쥐를 대상으로 calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)를 이용한 면역조직화학적 방법으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. CGRP-면역양성 신경섬유들이 혀의 양측에서부터 유두 내로 진입하여 성장발육에 따라 그 분포밀도가 증가하다가 10일군부터는 상피의 직하방에 특히 풍부하게 분포하여 subepithelial plexus를 형성하고 있었다. 1일군에서는 CGRP-면역양성 신경섬유의 특징적인 양상인 염주알 모양이 명확히 관찰되었으나 그 이후로는 염주알 모양은 다소 감소하였고 하나의 선으로 보이는 경우도 있었다. 상피 내로 진입하는 CGRP-면역양성 신경섬유들은 5일군에서 드물게 관찰되었으며 taste pore를 가진 성숙한 미뢰가 처음으로 관찰되는 10일군에서 그 수가 증가하여 출생 후 15일군에서는 상피 전반에 걸쳐 풍부하게 관찰되었다. 그러나 그 이후 20일군부터는 미뢰가 존재하는 trench wall의 하방 2/3부위의 CGRP-면역양성 신경섬유는 감소하고 유두의 top surface와 trench wall의 상방 1/3에 CGRP-면역양성 신경섬유가 제한적으로 관찰되었다.

나노보강제의 하나인 아연 메타아크릴레이트 (ZMA)로 보강된 천연고무(NR)/부타디엔고무(BR) 블랜드에 발포제 함량을 달리하여 적용하여 발포거동을 관찰하였다. ZMA 첨가에 따라 전반적인 발포고무의 물성은 향상되었지만, 발포입자크기, 밀도, 발포도 등 발포입자의 모폴로지에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않았다. 발포제의 함량에 따라 발포고무의 기계적 물성은 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 발포제 함량 증가에 따라 발포도가 증가하였고, 이는 발포고무의 밀도감소로 나타났지만, 발포입자의 크기나 분산성은 크게 영향을 받지 않았다. 고함량 스티렌-부타디엔 고무(HSBR)의 영향도 함께 조사하였다. HSBR 함량 증가에 따라 발포입자의 크기는 작아졌고 분산성은 향상되었다. 발포고무는 대변형에서 에너지 흡수성이 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다.

연구에서는 차세대염기서열분석법(Next Generation Sequencing)을 이용하여 상업적으로 농가에 가장 많이 보급되어 있는 요크셔와 랜드레이스를 포함한 두 종의 장내미생물생태 분석을 실시하였다. 박테리아의 16S rRNA 유전자는 분변샘플로부터 추출한 DNA에서 V4 지역을 증폭할 수 있도록 디자인된 유니버설 프라이머 세트를 이용하여 증폭되었다. 두 종에 대한 장내미생물생태 비교분석은 성장단계에 따라 차이를 보이는 반면, 종에 따른 차이는 거의 없다는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만, 두 종간의 장내미생물생태 내에서 특정 미생물의 수가 차이가 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 요크셔는 특히 섬유질 소화를 통해 에너지 생산률을 높여준다고 보고된 바가 있는 Xylanibacter 속(Genus)의 미생물을 많이 포함하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 랜드레이스는 숙주 내에서 면역에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려진 Clostridium_IV 종을 상당히 많이 포함하는 것으로 나타났으며, 반면 요크셔는 기회감염미생물들을 많이 포함하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 요크셔와 랜드레이스를 포함한 두 종간의 장내미 생물생태 비교분석을 통해 그 차이점이 종에 의한 차이보다는 성장단계에 따라 큰 차이가 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만 두 종 사이에서 성장에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있는 몇 장내미생물의 수가 차이가 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

2013년 가을, 한국 통영의 13개 해변에서 해양쓰레기의 풍도와 조성을 조사하였다. 대형쓰레기(25 mm 이상)의 풍도는 평균 약 30개/$m^2$, 소형쓰레기(1 mm-25 mm)의 풍도는 평균 26,971개/$m^2$로서 한국의 다른 지역이나 전세계 다른 지역에 비해 매우 높은 편이었다. 스티로폼, 경질플라스틱, 섬유, 금속, 유리, 목재, 기타 등 7개 재질로 구분했을 때 대형쓰레기 중 스티로폼의 갯수가 차지하는 비율은 약 75%, 소형 쓰레기에서는 약 98%였다. 대형 스티로폼 쓰레기 중 원래 부피의 50% 이상이 남아 있는 '완제품' 쓰레기들을 양식용 부자와 기타 완제품 쓰레기로 구분했을 때 양식용 부자가 차지하는 비율은 갯수로 93%였다. 결국 조사된 해변들에서 쓰레기로 인한 해변 오염은 매우 심각한 수준이며, 쓰레기의 발생 원인의 대부분은 양식장에서 사용되는 스티로폼 부자인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 통영 지역은 한국에서 굴 양식장이 가장 많은 곳이므로 굴 양식장의 스티로폼 부자 쓰레기 관리를 개선하는 것은 통영뿐만 아니라, 다른 지역의 해변 오염을 예방하는 데도 중요한 것으로 보인다.

This study was conducted to investigate the body weight status (by WLI: Weight-Length Index) and dietary habits and to assess the nutritional status among preschool children in the Daegu area. Dietary habits including dietary attitude and behavior were investigated using questionnaire answered by mothers of 680 subjects aged 4 to 6 years old (508 completed). Also, dietary intake survey using 24-hour recall method was performed by mothers of the children. According to WLI, the underweight, normal, overweight and obesity level of subjects were 9.1, 62.0, 19.5, and 9.4%, respectively. As well, the number of girls was higher than boys in underweight, overweight, and obese group. There were significantly different on overeating, eating fast, and preferring eating-out by body weight status, and overweight group got higher score than underweight or normal-weight group (p < 0.01, p < 0.001). As well, there was significantly different on not moving around during mealtime by body weight status, and underweight group have lower score than obese group (p < 0.001). From the 24-hour recall survey, it was found that intakes of all the nutrients were higher than the %KDRI except energy, calcium and folate. The energy intake of underweight group of 4~5-year old (1338.2 kcal) and 6-year old was lower than Koreans %DRI for those age group. Folate and dietary fiber intakes of obese group were significantly lower than underweight (p < 0.01, p < 0.05). For 4~5-year old, vitamin $B_6$ intakes of obese group were significantly higher than obese group (p < 0.05). For 6-year old, obese group showed that intake of vitamin $B_1$ was significantly higher than the other three groups, and intake of vitamin $B_1$ of overweight group was significantly higher than the other three groups. Taken together, these results indicate that there were significant differences in the nutrient intake level and dietary habits of preschool children by body weight status in Daegu area. Therefore, parents (family) and caregivers should be aware of the prevalence of obesity and nutritional status of preschool children, and start nutrition education as soon as possible.
