0.05). 3)ALP assay showed that the 7th,14th and 28th day of bBMP implantation, the ALP activities of bBMP in implantation groups were relatively higher than that of the control group (P0.05). 4)Histologically,after the 7th day implantation, a large quantity of mesenchymal cells differentiated with active chondrogenesis. The 14th day later, a large amount of cartilage and woven bone formed, and laminar bone and bone marrow were seen on day 28 after implantation. Conclusion The bBMP possesses active bone induction properties even after 10 years storage in 4℃ . The low-level antibodies of the recipient mice can be detected after implanted with bBMP, but the bone inducing activities are not affected. This may be a reference data for purification and clinical application of native BMP.

Tono-pne and Perkins tonometer have been widely accepted to measure the intraocular pressure(IOP) of children under the general anesthesia because of their portability. We evaluated the difference of IOP between two devices and the IOP variability in 39 children(77 eyes) under age 13 who had undergone surgery for strabismus or entropin under the general anesthesia. One observer measured the IOP three times alternately, and the order of measurement was randomized. Only 5% of Tono-pens coefficient of variance was considered valuable. The range of Tono-pen IOPs was 9~22mmHg, and the average was 15.41+/-3.23mmHg. The range of Perkins IOPs was 4~20 mmHg, with the average of 12.47+/-3.31mmHg. The difference between two methods on average was 2.94mmHg. Tono-pen IOPs were significantly greater than those recorded by Perkins tonometer, but both were within normal range. The IOP variability was not significantly different between two devices. Therefore both methods can be applied effectively in a clinical setting after sedation or general anesthesia of uncooperative children.

The movement of teeth during orthodontic treatment requires bone remodeling process of bone formation and bone resorption. To find out the changes occuring in the cell itself, mechanical stress was applied to the cell populations involved in the bone metabolism. Bone tissue cell populations were isolated from fetal rat calvaria and divided into OC and OB groups. Following results were obtained from measuring the changes in acid & alkaline phosphatease activity, cyclic AMP and PGE2 production in time lapse after the application of mechanical stress. 1. In case of the marker enzyme of specific bone tissue cell, acid phosphatase activity was high in OC group and alkaline phosphatase activity was high in OB group. 2. After the mechanical stress was applied, acid phosphatase activity was decreased in both OC and OB groups and alkaline phosphatase activity was increase in OB group. 3. When the mechanical stress was applied for 15, 30 and 60 minutes, the production of PGE2 increased in both OC and OB groups, as the time span increased. 4. When the mechanical stress was applied for 20 and 40 minutes, the production of PGE2 increased in both OC and OB groups, as the time span increased.

Objective To develop a double-antibody sandwich ELISA for determining the concentration of nucleoprotein (NP) of rabies virus in various products of rabies vaccine.Methods The purified rabies antibodies from a rabbit were used to coat microwell plates. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-NP monoclonal antibody was used to probe the NP bound to coated antibodies.The assay was used to quantitatively determine the concentration of NP of rabies virus.Results The results showed that the coefficient of linear correlation was higher than 0.97.The optimal linear range was 0.000625~0.01 IU/ml and the detection limit was 0.000625 IU/ml. The recovery rate was 102~109% and the coefficient of variation was only 7.2%~9.4%.No cross reactions were observed with bovine serum,bovine serum albumin,ovalbumin,refined solution of influenza vaccine,encephalitis B vaccine,and hepatitis A vaccine.Conclusions The results indicated that the assay is specific,sensitive,accurate,reproducible,and stable,and could be suitable for quantitative determination of different rabies vaccine's processes products.

Objective To explore the efficiency of continuous glucose monitoring system(CGMS) and blood glucose self-monitoring (SMBG)in evaluating blood glucose excursion in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) complicated with pregnancy. Methods Twenty-five patients having suffered from T1DM complicated with pregnancy were selected randomly during June 2012 to July 2015. All subjects underwent blood glucose monitoring by CGMS and SMBG for 72 h, including the data of blood glucose before meal, 2 h post-meal blood glucose (2hBG) and blood glucose at 2:00 AM. Results The level of the highest blood glucose in CGMS was significantly higher than that in SMBG:(10.60 ± 2.11) mmol/L vs. (7.50 ± 1.18) mmol/L, P<0.01. The level of the lowest blood glucose in CGMS was significantly lower than that in SMBG:(3.60 ± 1.06) mmol/L vs. (4.50 ± 1.15) mmol/L, P<0.01. The level of mean blood glucose in CGMS and SMBG had no significant difference:(7.20 ± 1.18) mmol/L vs. (7.30 ± 1.15) mmol/L, P>0.05. The rate of hypoglycemia(blood glucose<3.3 mmol/L) in CGMS was 4.6%, and in SMBG was 1.9%. Through adjusting the treatment by CGMS, the blood glucose before meal, 2hBG and blood glucose at 2:00 AM at 49-72 h were significantly lower than that at 0-24 h (P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with SMBG, CGMS has a relatively larger blood glucose monitoring range and can sensitively evaluate blood glucose excursion, CGMS provides a scientific basis to develop a more rational and effective strategies for controlling diabetes.

The masticatory function of tooth is maintained by the periodontal health, and periodontal health is also maintained by the masticatory function. Bite forces are withstanded by the PDL, and this thought to be through the viscoelastic theory. Mobility test and Bite force test are used to evaluate the viscoelastic theory of the PDL. In this study, the bite force test was used. In the same conditions of quantity of the supporting tissue, the maximum bite force according to the quality of the supporting tissue was evaluated. The study was conducted on 40 patients with moderate adult periodontitis, who were indications to the modified widman flap treatment. The maximum bite force in the premolar and molar regions were tested before treatment, 3weeks and 4 weeks after treatment. and the results were as follows. 1. In the premolar region, 3 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment showed higher maximum bite force than before treatment. And in the molar region the maximum bite force decreased 3 weeks after treatment, but increased after 4 weeks, compared to before treatment. 2. In the 1st premolar, there were only significant difference between before and 3 weeks after treatment, and between and 4 weeks after treatment. 3. In the 2nd premolar, there were only significant difference between before and 3 weeks after treatment, and between and 4 weeks after treatment. 4. In the 1st molar, there were no significant difference between before, 3 weeks after treatment, 4 weeks after treatment. 5. In the 2nd molar, there were no significant difference between before, 3 weeks after treatment, 4 weeks after treatment. From the results above, it shows that there were improvements in the maximum bite force through specific periodontal treatments, and thus it can be considered in clinical situations, that selection of the prosthodontic material, decisions of extraction, evaluation of the prognosis after periodontal treatment is a helpful method.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate effect of platelet rich plasma on the treatment of Grade II furcation involvement, with Demineralized Freeze-Dried Bone(Dembone(R)) and bioabsorable membrane(BioMesh(R)) in humans by digital subtraction radiography. 12 teeth(control group) were treated with Demineralized Freeze-Dried Bone(Dembone(R)) and bioabsorable membrane(BioMesh(R)), and 12 teeth(test group) were treated with Demineralized Freeze-Dried Bone(Dembone(R)), bioabsorable membrane(BioMesh(R)) and Platelet Rich Plasma. The change of bone density was assessed by digital subtraction radiography in this study. The change of mineral content by as much as 5%(vol) could be perceived in the subtracted images. The change of mineral content was assessed in the method that two radiographs are put into computer program to be overlapped and the previous image is subtracted by the later one. Both groups were statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon signed Ranks Test and Mann-whitney Test using SPSS program (5% significance level). The results were as follows: 1. In test group, the radiopacity in 3 months after surgery were significantly increased than 1 month after surgery(p<0.05). However. there were no significant difference between 1 month after surgery and 3 months after surgery in control group(p>0.05). 2. In test and control group, the radiopacity in 6 months after surgery were significantly increased than 1 month after surgery(p<0.05) 3. In test and control group, the radiopacity in 6 months after surgery were significantly increased than 3 months after surgery(p<0.05). 4. There were no significant difference between test group and control group at 1 month, 3 months after surgery, but radiopacity in test group were significantly increased than control group at 6 months after surgery(p<0.05). In conclusion, Platelet Rich Plasma can enhance bone density.

It is improtant that performing prophylaxis procedure on an infected implant surface in order to treat periimplantitis should not change the surface roughness and composition, so that the surface can be recovered to almost same condition as initial implant surface. This thesis, therefore, studied an effect of various oral hygiene instrument on implant surface. A surface roughness measurement instrument and an injection electron microscope were used to observe a change on surface. The purpose of this study was to obtain a clinical guideline during implant care and peri-implantitis treatment. The result were as follows 1. Ra values (surface roughness value) at experimental group 1, group 2, and group 5 were increased significantly as compared with comparison group (p<0.05). 2. When compared experimental group 1 with each exprimental groups at which prohylaxis procedure was performed, mean values of Ra at experimental group 2, group 3, group 6, and group 7 were decreased significantly(p<0.05). 3. Mean value of Ra was lowest at experimental group 2, and highest at experimental group 2, and highest at experimental group 5. 4. Analysis of SEM showed that was significant surface change at experimental group 2, group 3, group 4, group 5, and group 6 as compared with comparison group(X1000). 5. Analysis fo EDX showed that a quantity of Ti on surface for experimental group 6 was very similar to that for comparison group. In conclusion, air-powder abrasive and citric acid, plastic instrument are safe methods to use for performing prophylaxis procedure on implant care or for cleaning and sterilization process on treatment of peri-implantitis, based on the result that those method did not affect implant surface roughness and Ti composition.

The purpose of this study was to find the proper methods of school food service conducted from June 20th July 30th in 1996. The subjects of this study were 587 parents of students, 794 students and 359 school teachers at 508 middle and high schools in Seoul and Kyunggi area. And the result was as follow. A total of 48.3% of respondent answered they had breakfast regularly. The reasons why they had breakfast, were habits(34.4%) followed by hunger(28.2%), health(19.9%), parent's persuasion(17.5%). They reasons why they didn't have breakfast are, lacks of time(68.8%) followed by absence of appetite(20.5%), diet(4.5%). About the question the problem of eating habits the most of parents of students, chose an unbalanced diet(25.9%), followed by overeating of snacks(21.7%), voracious eating(18.0%), not eating meals(17.5%), eating little(10%) and overeating(6.8%). At the research of an unbalanced diet, the 63.3% of respondents said they eat evenly while the 36.7% said they had an unbalanced diet. From the research of correlativity between food service at elementary schools and eating habits, we knew that the experience of school food service had an effect on an unbalanced diet. And the students living in Seoul complained more than in Kyunggi. The question about the quality of food, 69.0% of respondents said they were not so bad. While 21.2% said not delicious at all just 9.8% of students said they were very satisfied with the taste. Interestingly, more middle school students both in Kyunggi and Seoul answered the food was delicious than high school students. About the question of the price, 49.5% of students thought appropriate(49.5%) while 44.3% said it was too high. Just 5.9% students answered cheap(5.9%). And students living in Kyunggi thought the price was high than students in Seoul. 62.9% of respondents think their refectories were clean while 22.8% think not clean. And 14.3% answered said dirty. Snack bars at school were managed by the contract with trusters(63.2%), while by the school itself(32.6%).
