Ursodeoxycholic acid(UDCA) is a hydrophilic gall bladder acid and has been used as a effective drug for liver disease related to in1munity. This drug inhibits secretions of IL-2, IL-4, and $IFN-{\gamma}$ from T-cells and production of immunoglobulin from B-cells. Also it has been reported that UDCA inhibits production of IL-1 related to the progression of periodontal disease and activation of collagenases. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the effects of UDCA on inhibition of periodontal disease progression using clinical, microbiological and histometrical parameters. Twelve pure bred, 16 month-old-beagle dogs were used in the study. After ligature-induced periodontal diseases were formed, experimental drugs were applied twice a day and then the results of clinical, microbiological, and histometrical parameters were measured at baselie(initiation of experiment) , 4weeks and 8weeks. The gel with UDCA(concentration 0.5%, 5% 3 dogs in each) was applied to experimental group, chlorhexidine to positive control group(3dogs) and the gel without UDCA(base) to negative control group. After induction of general anesthesia, the maxillary 2nd, 3rd premolars and 1st molar and the mandibular 2nd, 3rd, 4th premolars and 1st molar were ligated in one side selected randomly and were not ligated in the opposite side. The plaque index(PI), gingival index(GI), pocket depth(PD) and gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) volum were measured clinically. The PI and GI were measured at 3 buccal points of all experimental teeth and the GCF was measured only at the 3rd premolar in the maxilla and the 4th premolar in the mandible. In the microbiological study, the samples extracted from the 3rd premolar of the maxilla and the 4th premolar of the mandible at the center of buccal surface were analyzed aerobics, anaerobics and Streptococcus colony forming units, After clinical and microbiological examination at 8weeks, the dogs were sacrificed by carotid artery perfusion. The samples were fixed and sectioned including interproximal area, and the distance from cementoenamel junction(CEJ) to alveolar crest was measured. The results were that PI, GI and PD increased until 4 weeks and decreased at 8 weeks in three groups but the differences between all the groups were not significant. The 0.5% UDCA in non-ligated group showed remarkable decrease of GCF. The experimental group applied 5% UDCA decreased the number of aerobics and anaerobics. The distance from CEJ to alveolar crest was greater in the negative control group on both ligated and non-ligated sides, but the differences were not significant stastically.

본 연구의 목적은 방사선치료용 선형가속기의 품질관리를 수행하기 위한 2차원이온전리함배열의 유용성을 검증하기 위함이다. 물팬톰과 필름으로 수행하던 기존의 품질관리 방법을 2차원이온전리함배열(MatriXX, Wellhofer Dosimetrie, Germany)을 이용하여 유용성을 검증하였다. MatriXX는 1,020개의 평판형 전리함(용적: $0.08\;cm^3$, 직경: 4.5mm, 높이: 5mm, 배열간격: 7.62mm)이 일정한 간격으로 $24{\times}24\;cm^2$의 면적에 배열 되어있다. MatriXX의 유용성을 검증하기 위해 연속된 5개월에 걸쳐 선량균등도, 에너지($TPR_{20,10}$), 그리고 절대 선량을 측정하여 물팬톰과 $0.65\;cm^3$ (FC65G, Wellhofer Dosimetrie, Germany) Farmer형 이온전리함을 통해 얻은 값과 비교, 분석하였다. MatriXX 측정 시 폴리스틸렌 고체 팬톰(${\rho}:\;1.18\;g/cm^3$)을 이용하였으며, MatriXX 고유의 커버 물질의 밀도와 두께(${\rho}:\;1.06\;g/cm^3$, t: 0.36 cm)를 물과 등가의 값으로 환산하여 적용하였다. 또한, 기하학적 점검을 위한 예비실험에서 콜리메이터의 회전축과 하프빔의 접합부를 필름측정의 결과와 비교하였다. 선량계측학적 실험 결과, MatriXX로 얻은 데이터와 물팬톰의 결과가 모든 항목에서 ${\pm}1%$ 이내의 일치를 보였다. 기하학 품질관리의 예비 실험 결과 기존의 필름방식과 유사한 결과를 얻었으며, 기하학적 품질관리의 정량적 분석 가능성을 제시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 주기적인 선형가속기의 품질관리에서 물팬톰과 필름을 대체할 수 있는 MatriXX의 유용성을 확인하였으며, 향후 비용절감과 시간과 인력을 절감할 수 있는 품질관리의 새로운 방법을 제시하였다.

근관 충전에 사용된 sealer가 포스트를 세멘트할때 사용되는 레진 세멘트에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 알아보기 위하여 절치 치근 86개를 사용하여 통상의 방법으로 근관확대한 후, 44개의 치근은 I, II, & III군의 Z.O.E. sealer, 42개의 치근은 IV, V, & VI군의 수산화칼슘 계통의 sealer인 Apexit를 사용하여 근관충전하였다. 근관충전 1일(I, IV군), 3일 (II, V군), 7일(III, VI군)이 경과된 후에 기성의 Para-post stainless steel post를 사용하여 a군에서는 Z.P.C.로, b군에서는 All-Bond & composite resin cement로 깊이 7mm가 되게 세멘트하여 군당 시편의 수가 7-8개 되도록 하여 12군으로 나누었다. 완전한 세멘트의 경화를 위하여 5일이 경과된 후 인스트론 만능시험기에 retention jig를 사용하여 거상하고 1mm/min의 cross-head speed로 인장력을 가하여 유지력을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Z.O.E. sealer사용 후 All-Bond & composite resin cement로 세멘트한 군에서 I b군이 $15.5{\pm}7.1kg$, II b군이 $21.6{\pm}5.4kg$, 그리고 III b군이 $20.1{\pm}8.1kg$으로 나타나 I b군이 매우 유지력이 낮았으나 통계학적 유의성은 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 수산화칼슘 계통의 sealer 사용 후 All-Bond & composite resin cement로 세멘트한 군에서 IV b군이 $19.0{\pm}6.7kg$, V b군이 $17.3{\pm}6.5kg$, 그리고 VI b군이 $18.9{\pm}7.9kg$으로 나타났으며 통계학적 유의성은 없었다(P>0.05). 3. 같은 sealer를 사용하고 같은 기간에서 Z.P.C.와 All-Bond & composite resin cement의 포스트 유지력 비교시 All-Bond & composite resin cement 군이 Z.P.C. 군보다 높게 나타났으나 통계학적 유의성은 없었다(P>0.05).

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary corn resistant starch (RS) on the intestinal morphology and barrier functions of broilers. Methods: A total of 320 one-day-old broilers were randomly allocated to 5 dietary treatments: one normal corn-soybean (NC) diet, one corn-soybean-based diet supplementation with 20% corn starch (CS), and 3 corn-soybean-based diets supplementation with 4%, 8%, and 12% corn resistant starch (RS) (identified as 4% RS, 8% RS, and 12% RS, respectively). Each group had eight replicates with eight broilers per replicate. After 21 days feeding, one bird with a body weight (BW) close to the average BW of their replicate was selected and slaughtered. The samples of duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum digesta, and blood were collected. Results: Birds fed 4% RS, 8% RS and 12% RS diets showed lower feed intake, BW gain, jejunal villus height (VH), duodenal crypt depth (CD), jejunal VH/CD ratio, duodenal goblet cell density as well as mucin1 mRNA expressions compared to the NC group, but showed higher concentrations of cecal acetic acid and butyric acid, percentage of jejunal proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive cells and delta like canonical Notch ligand 4 (Dll4), and hes family bHLH transcription factor 1 mRNA expressions. However, there were no differences on the plasma diamine oxidase activity and D-lactic acid concentration among all groups. Conclusion: These findings suggested that RS could suppress intestinal morphology and barrier functions by activating Notch pathway and inhibiting the development of goblet cells, resulting in decreased mucins and tight junction mRNA expression.
