Purpose: This retrospective study compares the amount of bone resorption around implants between an autogenous tooth bone graft (AutoBT) and a synthetic bone graft after a bone-added crestally approached sinus lift with simultaneous implant placements. Methods: In all, 37 patients participated in this study. Seventeen patients were grouped as group I and underwent an AutoBT-added sinus lift using the crestal approach. The remaining 20 patients were grouped as group II and underwent synthetic bone grafting. Both groups received the implant placements simultaneously. Of the 37 participating patients, only 22 patients were included in the final results: Eleven patients of group I and 11 patients of group II. Before the surgery, the distance from the alveolar crest to the sinus floor was measured using panoramic radiography. After the surgery, the distance was measured again from the neck of the implant thread to the most superior border of the added graft materials. Then, the amount of sinus lift was calculated by comparing the two panoramic radiographs. After a year, a panoramic radiograph was taken to calculate the resorption of the bone graft material from the radiograph that was taken after the surgery. The significance of the resorption amount between the two types of graft materials was statistically analyzed. Results: The bone height was increased to an average of 4.89 mm in group I and 6.22 mm in group II. The analysis of panoramic radiographs 1 year after the surgery showed an average bone resorption of 0.76 mm and 0.53 mm, respectively. However, the degree of lifting (P=0.460) and the amount of bone-grafted material resorption (P=0.570) showed no statistically significant difference. Conclusions: Based on this limited study, AutoBT can be considered a good alternative bone graft to a synthetic bone graft in a bone-added sinus lift, when extraction is necessary prior to the surgery.

Background: Periprocedural treatment with high-dose statins is known to have cardioprotective and pleiotropic effects, such as anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory actions. We aimed to assess the efficacy of high-dose rosuvastatin loading in patients with stable angina undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Materials and Methods: A total of 142 patients with stable angina who were scheduled to undergo surgical myocardial revascularization were randomized to receive either pre-treatment with 60-mg rosuvastatin (rosuvastatin group, n=71) or no pre-treatment (control group, n=71) before OPCAB. The primary endpoint was the 30-day incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). The secondary endpoint was the change in the degree of myocardial ischemia as evaluated with creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) and troponin T (TnT). Results: There were no significant intergroup differences in preoperative risk factors or operative strategy. MACEs within 30 days after OPCAB occurred in one patient (1.4%) in the rosuvastatin group and four patients (5.6%) in the control group, respectively (p=0.37). Preoperative CK-MB and TnT were not different between the groups. After OPCAB, the mean maximum CK-MB was significantly higher in the control group (rosuvastatin group $10.7{\pm}9.75$ ng/mL, control group $14.6{\pm}12.9$ ng/mL, p=0.04). Furthermore, the mean levels of maximum TnT were significantly higher in the control group (rosuvastatin group $0.18{\pm}0.16$ ng/mL, control group $0.39{\pm}0.70$ ng/mL, p=0.02). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that high-dose rosuvastatin loading before OPCAB surgery did not result in a significant reduction of 30-day MACEs. However, high-dose rosuvastatin reduced myocardial ischemia after OPCAB.

Statement of problem: A conventional 3-unit fixed partial denture design with a pontic between two retainers is the most commonly used. However in cases where the mental nerve is in close proximity to the second premolar, a cantilever design can be considered. As such, logical and scientific evidence is lacking for the number and position of implants to be placed for partially edentulous patients, and no clear-cut set of treatment principles currently exist. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate prognosis of implant-supported fixed partial dentures and to compare changes in bone level which may rise due to the different factors. Material and method : The present study examined radiographical marginal bone loss in patients treated with implant-supported fixed partial dentures (87 prostheses supported by 227 implants) and evaluated the influence of the span of the pontic, type of the opposing dentition. Clinical complications were studied using a retrospective method. Within the limitation of this study. the following result were drawn Result, 1. Seven of a total of 227 implants restored with fixed prostheses failed, resulting in a 96.9% success rate. 2. Complications encountered during recall appointments included dissolution of temporary luting agent (17 cases), porcelain fracture (8 cases), loosened screws (5 cases), gingival recession (4 cases), and gingival enlargement (1 case). 3. Marginal bone loss, 1 year after prosthesis placement, was significant(P<0.05) in the group that underwent bone grafting, however no difference in annual resorption rate was observed afterwards. 4. Marginal bono loss, 1 year post-placement, was greater in cantilever-type prostheses than in centric pontic protheses (P<0.05). 5. Marginal bone loss was more pronounced in posterior regions compared to anterior regions (P<0.05). 6. The degree of marginal bone loss was proportional to the length of the pontic (P<0.05). Conclusion: The success rate of implant-supported fixed partial dentures, including marginal bone loss, was satisfactory in the present study. Factors influencing marginal bone loss included whether bone graft was performed, location of the pontic (s), location of the surgical area in the arch pontic span. Long-term evaluation is necessary for implant-supported fixed partial dentures, as are further studies on the relationship between functional load and the number of implants to be placed.

Regeneration of the periodontal tissue destroyed by periodontal disease is one of the final goals of periodontal therapy. In the past few years, periodontists have used various alloplastic grafting materials in an attempt to regenerate bone lost from periodontal disease. These materials have used widely because they have shown to be nontoxic, biologically compatible with surrounding host tissue and chemically similar to bone. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Porous Resorbable Calcium Carbonate and Porous Replamineform Hydroxyapatite on the regeneration of the alveolar bone and the healing of roots transplanted into the periodontally diseased extraction sockets of dogs. The experimental chronic periodontitis was induced by elastic ligatures on the 2nd and 3rd mandibular premolars of 2 adult dogs for 8weeks after surgically creating periodontal defect. The extracted root were split in half along the long-axis, and the extend of plaque exposure was marked on the root surfaces with burs. The roots were inserted in extraction sockets with Porous Resorbable Calcium Carbonate(PRCC) in left side and with Porous Replaminefrom Hydroxyapatite(PRH) in right side. The flaps were sutured to cover the sockets completely. The animals were sacrificed after 12 weeks of healing, and the specimens were examined histologically. The results were as follows: 1. No inflammatory reactions were observed in either groups. 2. Hoot resorption was observed in both groups while the general outline of the roots were maintained. 3. PRCC was almost completely resorbed and replaced with new bone, while R.H.A. was not resorbed & remained encased in newly-formed C-T and alveolar bone. 4. PRH was encapsulated with alveolar bone which has been deposited from apical & lateral area of the sockets, while the coronal portion of the sockets were filled with C-T. 5. In both groups, the resorbed portions of the roots were replaced with new bone. These results suggest that either PRCC or PRH may not interfere with bone formation or healing in extraction sockets, and in some degree, retard the root resorption. Because the roots maintained in anatomy, we think that graft materials prevent the root resorption.

Recently, many studies have reported the fact that an excessively accumulated psychological and physical burden induced from physical labor conducted routinely in home and industry can be one of main reasons of musculoskeletal disorders in the working population. This fact makes increase interests in studies to reduce a risk of musculoskeletal disorders through grafting ergonomic considerations on working environment. However, there are currently limited methodologies in quantitative evaluations of new ergonomic suggestions to reduce a risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The current study is therefore performed to evaluate quantitatively effects of a design of washing machine as a new ergonomic suggestion onto prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, through application of a biomechanical evaluation methodology. For this, three-dimensional motion analysis by using musculoskeletal models with Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), which has been generally used for a simple evaluation of a degree of harmfulness of the human body at specific working postures to be considered, was performed. The results of REBA did not give us enough information and their results were somewhat simple and inaccurate, but the results of the three-dimensional motion analysis give us enough information such as alteration of main muscle forces and joint moments required during washing work. All results showed that the main muscle strengths and joint moments were decreased effectively for reduction of a risk of musculoskeletal disorders during the washing work with newly designed washing machine evaluated in the current study, compared with those generated during the washing work with general washing machine. From these results, it can be concluded that a risk of the musculoskeletal disorders, which may be induced by a repetitive washing work, may be reduced through using the washing machine designed ergonomically and newly. Also, it is thought that if our ergonomic design can be applied for improvement of working environment in lifting and laying works conducted repeatedly for a treatment work of goods, which have a strong resemblance to the behaviors generated frequently during the washing work, a possibility of occurrence of the musculoskeletal disorders by the lifting and laying works may be reduced highly.

광개시제를 이용한 UV 조사방법으로 설폰화 PET-g-GMA 극세 이온 교환 섬유를 합성하고 이들의 구조 및 흡착 특성을 확인하였다. PET-g-GMA의 그라프트율은 UV 조사량, 조사시간 및 반응온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 최적 합성조건은 UV조사량, 시간, 반응온도가 각각 450 W, 60 min, $40^{\circ}C$이었다. 한편 최대 설폰화율과 이온 교환 용량은 각각 8.12 mmol/g, 3.25 meq/g의 값을 나타내었다. 또한 설폰화 PET-g-GMA 극세 이온 교환 섬유의 인장강도는 반응전 PET 기재의 인장강도보다 그라프트 반응율이 증가함에 따라 약간 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 설폰화 PET-g-GMA 극세 이온 교환 섬유의 칼슘 이온, 마그네슘 이온에 대한 흡착 시험 결과 마그네슘 이온이 칼슘 이온보다 흡착 파과 시간이 길었으며, 칼슘 이온, 마그네슘 혼합 용액에서 마그네슘의 흡착 파과 시간은 더욱 길어지는 경향을 보였다.

목적: 약물이나 유전자 전달에 이용되는 생체적합성이 높은 키토산의 간세포 지향성을 위해서 갈락토스를 수식하는 방법이 널리 이용되어지고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 갈락토스 수식 키토산의 간세포지향성 획득을 평가하는데 있어서 핵의학 영상법의 유용성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 키토산에 NHS와 EDC를 이용하여 30 mol%의 lactobionic acid를 결합시켜 갈락토스 수식 키토산을 제조하였다. 얻어진 갈락토스 수식 키토산을 투석 시킨 후 동결 건조하여 얻어 낸 다음 키토산의 기본구조인 glucoseamine에 methyl기를 첨가시키는 반응을 하여 최종화합물을 합성하였다. GMC의 세포내 독성은 MTT assay를 통하여 확인하였다. 제조된 GMC에 $SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$를 이용하여 $^{99m}Tc$을 표지하였다. 표지 후 안정성은 아세톤과 생리식염수를 이용하여 1시간까지 확인하였다. $^{99m}Tc$-GMC와 $^{99m}Tc$-MC 55.5 MBq (1.5 mCi)를 토끼의 외이정맥으로 주사 후, 감마카메라를 이용하여 10분, 30분, 60분, 90분 간격으로 전면 영상을 얻었다. 결과: 키토산에 lactobionic acid 30 mol%를 반응시켜 7.4 mol%의 galactose group이 키토산에 결합한 것을 확인하였다. 갈락토스 수식 키토산을 메틸화한 결과는 tri, di, mono가 각각 8.8%, 46%, 35.2%인 것을 확인하였다. MTT assay결과를 통해 GMC의 세포에 미치는 독성은 거의 없는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 표지 효율은 메틸화시키지 않은 $^{99m}Tc$-GC가 아세톤과 생리식염수에서 각각 88%, 72%를 보인 반면에 $^{99m}Tc$-GMC는 96%정도를 보여 보다 높은 표지효율을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. $^{99m}Tc$-MC를 주사후 얻은 토끼 영상에서 키토산은 일반적으로 대부분 신장을 통해 배출되며, 간과 비장, 골격계에는 매우 적은 분포를 보이는데 비해. 갈락토스가 수식된 $^{99m}Tc$-GMC에서는 분포에 변화가 생겨 간, 신장, 그리고 방광에서 높은 방사능이 관찰되는 소견을 보였다. 결론: 핵의학 영상법은 갈락토스 리간드 수식 키토산의 간세포 지향성 여부를 평가하기 위한 생체내 평가법으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

배경 : 관상동맥 질환 환자에게 시행되는 관상동맥 우회술의 수술 성적이 많이 향상되었으나, 아직도 좌심실기능부전이 중등도 이상으로 심한 환자에서의 관상동맥 우회술은 합병증과 사망률이 비교적 높다. 최근 수술기법 및 심근보호법의 발달로 이러한 고위험군의 환자에게 내과적 보존 치료보다는 외과적 재혈관화가 환자의 증상 개선과 장기 생존율을 향상시킨다고 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 이에 저자는 1995년 1월부터 1999년 3월까지 시행한 관상동맥 우회술 843예 가운데 수술 전 좌심실 박출계수가 30% 이하인 환자 31예(4.1%)의 임상자료를 후향적으로 조사하고 수술 전후 측정한 심장 초음파상의 심박출 계수의 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 환자의 연령은 41세에서 72세 사이로 평균 60.7$\pm$2.2세였고, 남자 26예, 여자 5예였다. 수술전 위험인자로 심근경색의 과거력이 있었던 경우가 30예로 대부분이었으며, Thallium heart scan 검사에서 불가역인 심근 손상이 7예였다. 관상동맥 조영술에서 3개 혈관 병변이 26, Rentrop 분류 1도가 16례로 가장 많았다. 관상동맥 우회술 동안에 이식된 혈관의 수는 평균 4.88$\pm$0.8 개/명이었고, 전 예에서 복재정맥을 사용하였으며 내흉동맥을 동시에 사용한 경우는 20예였다 대동맥 차단 및 심실세동 시간은 평균 77.9$\pm$1.6분 이었고 인공 심폐기 가동시간은 평균 244.7$\pm$3.7분 이였으며, 관상동맥 우회술과 동시에 시행된 술식으로는 좌심실류 제거술 2예, 승모판막 성형술 2예, 대동맥 판막 치환술 1예였다. 술후 합병증은 부정맥 3예, 출혈 2예, 흉골 지연 봉합 1예였고 수술 전후의 대동맥내 풍선펌프의 사용이 11예였으며, 2예에서 사망하여 수술 사망률은 6.5%이었다. 수술 후 흉통 및 증상의 개선을 보인 경우는 29예였고 수술 후 시행한 심초음파 검사상 좌심실 박출 계수는 평균 38.5$\pm$11.6%로 술전 평균 측정치 25.3$\pm$2.3%에 비해 유의하게 증가되었다(p 0.001). 환자들의 평균 추적기간은 25.3$\pm$5.6개월이었다. 결론 : 좌심실 기능이 저하된 관상동맥 질환 환자에서 관상동맥 우회술을 시행하여 비교적 만족할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 추후 장기 추적 조사가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
