Comparative bioavailability of two tablet dosage forms of ofloxacin (either as Hoechst (India) or Ranbaxy preparation ) was investigated. In a randomized cross-over study, eitht healthy human volunteers received single 200 mg dose of film coated ofloxacin in fasting state. The concentration of ofloxacin in the collected saliva and serum samples were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. No significant difference in bioavailability of both preparations was judged from various serum and seliva pharmacokinetic parameters such as peak concentration, time to peak concentration and are under the curves. Intersubject variation was also found to be insignificant.

타액은 구강 환경을 조절하는 여러 가지 유기질과 무기질의 혼합물로 구성되어 있다. 구강 점막은 여러 타액 점액 단백질과 타액 항세균 단백질에 의해서 윤활이 되며 보호된다.타액의 다른 작용은 구강 점막을 축축하게 하고 음식을 부드럽게 한다. 구강건조증은 세균의 침착을 야기시키거나 점막면을 거칠게 하여 출혈이 되기 쉽게 하며 이로 인해 감염이 야기될 수 있다. 이러한 타액의 보호 작용은 mucin, fibronectins, proline-rich glycoproteins, histidine-rich proteins, $\alpha$-amylase, s-IgA 같은 특별한 타액 당단백질에 기인한다고 하는 것이 지난 30년 동안에 알려져 있다. 이러한 분자들의 구조, 구조와 기능사이의 관계, 타액 내 이러한 물질들의 농도에 관한 것들이 알려지고 있는 중이다. 이러한 타액 당단백질 특히 mucin, fibronectin, fucose-rich protein과 s-IgA의 구조와 기능에 대한 현재의 견해들을 이 논문에서 요약하고자 한다.

Dental caries, the most common oral disease, is a multifactorial disease caused by interactions among bacteria within the dental plaque, food, and saliva, resulting in tooth destruction. Streptococcus mutans has been strongly implicated as the causative organism in dental caries and is frequently isolated from human dental plaque. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a technique that involves the activation of photosensitizer by light in the presence of tissue oxygen, resulting in the production of reactive radicals capable of inducing cell death. Postantibiotic effect (PAE) is defined as the duration of suppressed bacterial growth following brief exposure to an antibiotic. In this study, the in vitro PAE of PDT using erythrosine and light emitting diode on S. mutans ATCC 25175 was investigated. The PAE of PDT for 1 s irradiation and 3 s irradiation were 1.65 h and 2.1 h, respectively. The present study thus confirmed PAE of PDT using erythrosine on S. mutans.

Xenoestrogens are chemicals with diverse structure that mimic estrogen. Bisphenol A, a monomer of polycarbonate and epoxy resins, has been detected in canned food and human saliva. Bisphenol A stimulate cell proliferation and induce expression of estrogen -response genes in vitro. The purpose of the this study was to evaluate cell proliferation of bisphenol A in the presence of a rat liver 59 mix contaning cytochrome P450 enzymes and Cu (II). The fragmentation of intact DNA, a parameter of apoptotic cell death, was evaluated quantitatively by diphenylamine reaction method. Bisphenol A induced apoptotic cell death in a dose-dependent manner The effect of radical scavenger on the apoptotic cell death induced bisphenol A was investigated. The DNA fragmentation induced by bisphenol A was significantly inhibited by addition of radical scavenger to the culture medium. This indicated that elevated oxidative stress caused by imbalance between the production and removal of free radicals occurred in cells. Taken together, these results suggest that free radical reacts with Cu (II) leading oxidative stress.

A number of bacterial species coexist in oral cavities as a biofilm rather than a planktonic arrangement. By forming an oral biofilm with quorum sensing properties, microorganisms can develop a higher pathogenic potential and stronger resistance to the host immune system and antibiotics. Hence, the inhibition of biofilm formation has become a major research issue for the future prevention and treatment of oral diseases. In this study, we investigated the effects of pentose on biofilm formation and phenotypic changes using wild type oral bacteria obtained from healthy human saliva. D-ribose and D-arabinose were found to inhibit biofilm formation, but have no effects on the growth of each oral bacterium tested. Pentoses may thus be good candidate biofilm inhibitors without growth-inhibition activity and be employed for the future prevention or treatment of oral diseases.

레진 강화형 글래스 아이오노머 시멘트의 접착 강도를 알아보고, 타액 오염이 접착제의 종류에 따라 접착 강도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 관찰하여 봄으로써 임상적 효용성을 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 교정 치료를 목적으로 발거된 소구치에 교정용 복합 레진 접착제로 Ortho-One, 레진 강화형 글래스 아이오노머 시멘트로는 Fuji Ortho LC, Vitremer, Advance를 사용하여 통상적인 과정의 브라켓 접착을 하였으며, 타액 오염군은 타액 오염후에 건조 한 뒤 브라켓을 접착한 후 증류수에 침적하고 $37^{\circ}C$ 항온조에 24시간 보관하였다. 만능시험기로 인장 접착 강도를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 통상의 방법으로 브라켓을 부착한 경우 인장 접착 강도는 Ortho-One군에서는 $7.68\pm1.76$ 이었으며, Advance군에 서는 $7.87\pm2.80$, Fuji Ortho LC군에서는 $4.99\pm2.53$, Vitremer군에서 는 $2.80\pm0.88$ MPa 나타났다. 타액 오염시킨 경우 인장 접착 강도는 Ortho-One군에서 는 $4.12\pm1.67$, Advance군에서는 $5.37\pm0.68$, Fuji Ortho LC군에서는 $4.41\pm1.61$, Vitremer군에서는 $2.60\pm1.10$ MPa 로 나타났다. 2. 타액 오염시킨 경우 Fuji Ortho LC와 Vitremer는 거의 영향이 없었고 (p>0.05), Ortho-One과 Advance는 큰 폭의 접착 강도 저하 현상을 나타냈다 (p<0.05). 3. Advance와 Ortho-One, Fuji Ortho LC는 만족할 만한 인장 접착 강도를 나타내어 브라켓 접착시 임상적 유용성이 있으리라 생각된다.

Background : Electrolarynx, Esophageal voice, and Silicone voice prosthesis with tracheoesophageal(T-E) fistula have been used as vocal rehabilitating methods for the post-laryngectomized patients. Prosthetic rehabilitation of voice after total laryngectomy has gained wide acceptance and has become a common practice in many clinics since the pioneering works of Singer and Blom In 1979. Since the introduction of tracheo-esophageal puncture and application of Blom Singer$\circledR$ voice prosthesis in 1980, several reliable voice prostheses have been developed and are successfully being used. Objectives : Even though quality of voice produced by Silicone voice prosthesis with T-E fistula is superior to other modalities, it still has some disadvantages. We devised a new cannulatyped silicone voice prosthesis. Methods : 1) Devising a new prototype of cannula-typed silicone voice prosthesis. 2) Application of the prototype using canine animal model(laryngectormized dog) and fitting trial on human patient whose previously inserted Silicone voice prosthesis is not functioning due to presumed fungal infection. Discussion : Final form of prototype was made after several times of major and minor modifications. Insertion of the newly developed Cannula-typed Silicone voice prosthesis on canine animal model and human trial were done without any difficulty. There were no serious leakage of saliva or food during swallowing. Conclusion : The newly developed Cannula-typed Silicone voice prosthesis(So-Mang$\circledR$) and the modified replacement method will further improve the results of post-laryngectomized prosthetic voice rehabilitation. Long-term animal study and human trial are planned in the near future.

Chewing betel quid is associated with an increased risk of oral cancer. The betel quid chewed in Taiwan includes the inflorescence of Piper betle, which contains high concentrations of safrole (15 mg/fresh weight). Piper betle leaf is also used in betel quid; however, the concentration of safrole in betel leaf has not been documented. Chewing betel quid may contribute to safrole exposure in man (420 mm in saliva). Using $a^{32}$P-postlabeling method, we have recently demonstrated the presence of stable safrole-like DNA adducts in human oral tissues following betel quid chewing. Safrole is a rodent hepatocar-cinogen, and the real nature of safrole-DNA adducts in human tissues beside oral has not been elucidated. In this paper, we tested the safrole DNA adducts forming potential in human hepatic and oral derived cells by the ${32}^P$-postlabeling technique. The results suggest that oral cancer derived cell OC-2 alone is not able to form safrole-DNA adduct. However, safrole DNA adducts can be detected following I'-hydroxysafrole, a proximate safrole metabolite, treatment. In addition, pretreament of cytochrome P450 inducers also enhanced the formation of previously undetectable safrole DNA adducts. This finding couples with our previous results suggest that oral may serve as a target tissue for safrole, and safrole may be involved in oral carcinogenesis.
