OBJECTIVES: This study is to see the transition and pattern of the industrial iureal worker, and to develop the prediction model. METHODS: The data of the study are based on the samples from data-warehouse of Occupational Safety & Health Research Institute and are summed monthly from Jan 1986 to Dec 1999. This study data used data mart and Meta data from DW in KOSHA. The prediction model of the injured worker in Industry is designed by using a winters time series method after data preparing (i. e. sample, explore, modify) from DW. RESULTS: Thls predicted model obtained Winters-method multiplicative in exponential smoothing among applied all models, after the tlme series (total 163 months). It showed that the prediction power was 95.5 %. CONCLUSIONS: In the process of exploring the data, totally the rate of industrial injureal workers reduced, and in the yearly circulation, in February and September the number is the lowest but in June, July, October and November the higher. The number of monthly average injureal workers is 8709 (95 % confidence interval 8277, 9140). From the developed prediction model, since Aug 1999 the industrial injureal worker reduced rapidly in Dec 1999 and first period of 2000. But In second period of 2000 the number of the injured workers is increasing. To conclude, as the total economic situation is becoming better in 2000 than In 1999, its is supposed that the injured workers will increase more than the predictive injured workers because of the increase of production rate and labor force.

Periodontal ligament cells may have a role in the regulation of hard and soft periodontal tissues, but their specific function has not yet to be determined. To evaluate further their role in periodontal regeneration, they were examined for osteoblast-like behavior. Periodontal ligament cells and gingival fibroblasts were primarily cultured from extracted premolar with non-periodontal diseases. Cells were cultured with DMEM at 37degrees C, 5% CO2, 100% humidity incubator, and as a measure of cell characterization, it was examined that the morphology, alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen synthesis, and immunocytochemistry for osteonectin, osteocalcin, and collagen type I. Healthy periodontal ligament cells has more osteoblastic-like cell property in alkaline phosphatase activity, and collagen synthesis than gingival fibroblast. Immunocytochemistry localization explained that calcitonin were expressed in periodontal ligament cells only, and osteonectin and type I collagen were produced in both cells simultaneously. This results indicate that the growth characteristics of periodontal ligament cells and gingival fibroblasts exhibit some differences in proliferative rates and biochemical synthesis. The differences may help to calrify the role such cells play in the regenearation of periodontal tissues.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of smoking on adult periodontitis after non-surgical periodontal therapy. The study population consisted of 40 patients with moderate to advanced periodontitis. Smokers(n=20) were defined as individuals smoking at least twenty cigarettes per day at the time of the initial examination. The non-smoking group(n=20) second and the fourth weeks after periodontal non-surgical therapy. The results were as follows; 1. Clinical indices including plaque index, gingival index, and pocket depth were decreased in both smoking and non-smoking group at the first, the second, and the fourth weeks. Especially, clinical indices of non-smokers were more significantly decreased than those of smokers. 2. Non-motile rods were increaseed and motile rods were reduced at the fourth week. spirochetes were reduced significantly in the non-smoking group at the fourth week. These results suggest that smoking play a minor role in adult periodontitis after non-surgical periodontal therapy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of smoking on adult periodontitis after non-surgical periodontal therapy. The study population consisted of 40 patients with moderate to advanced periodontitis. Smokers(n=20) were defined as individuals smoking at least twenty cigarettes per day at the time of the initial examination. The non-smoking group(n=20) consisted of individuals who were not smoking at the initial examination. The average age was 42.4 years for the smoking and non-smoking group. Examination regarding plaque index, gingival index, pocket depth and contrast phase microscope were performed. Evaluation were made at the first, the second and the fourth weeks after periodontal non-surgical therapy. The results were as follows: 1. Clinical indices including plaque index, gingival index, and pocket depth were decreased in both smoking and non-smoking group at the first, the second, and the fourth weeks. Especially, clinical indices of non-smokers were more significantly decreased than those of smokers. 2.

Bovine growth hormone (bGH) gene was expressed in an insect spodoptera frugiperda cell line using a Baculovirus, Hyphantria cunea nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HcNPV). The bGH gene in pbGH plasmid was sequenced and amplified by PCR technique with two primers containing NcoI sites. The bGH gene consisted of 654 bp (217 amino acid residues), the 5'-untranslated region of the cloned bGH cDNA contains 56 bp, and the 3'-untranslated region contains 145 bp and two pallindromic regions. The amplified bGH gene DNA fragment (654 bp) was inserted into the NcoI site of the pHcEVII vector, which was named pHcbGH. The pHcbGH transfer vector DNA and the wild type HcNPV DNA were cotransfected into s. frugiperda cells to construct a recombinant virus. Eight recombinant viruses were selected and named HcbGH. One clone, HcbGH-4-1 showed largest plaque size, therefore the recombinant virus was further studied. The multiplication patters of the recombinant HcbGH-4-1 was similar to that of the wild type HcNPV. The bGH gene DNA in the HcbGH-4-1 recombinant was confirmed by Southern lot hybridization. The amount of the bGH (217 amino acid residues, 21 kDa) produced in S. frugiperda cells infected with the HcbGH-4-1 recombinant was approximately 5.5 ng per ml (106 cells) by radioimmunoassay.

We report two cases of benign symmetrical lipornatosis, one associated with mild hyperthyroidism in a 57-year-old man and the other with alcoholic hepatitis in a 57-year-old man. In the histologic exsmination of the excised mass we found fibrous pseudocapsules surrounding adipose tissue in case 1, but not in case 2. Liposuction was performed in case 1 and simple excision in case 2 for treatment of tumors. The tumor masses were not recurred in clinical observation for follow-up 5 months after treatment.

The clinical use of topical antimicrobial substances is common in clean wounds as well as contaminated and chronic wounds. This use is based on the observation that the reduction of superficial bacterial contamination promotes wound healing. While the antibacterial efficacy of topical antimicrobials has been well documented, their effects on living tissue and the process of wound healing remain controversial. Recently, there have been several trials to detect the toxicity of various antimicrobial materials by using cultured fibroblasts and keratinocytes. In this study the cytotoxicity of several commonly used antimicrobials and the cytotoxic concentrations of antimicrobials on cultured human keratinocytes and fibroblasts were compared using 3 different METHODS: 1) the MTT method showing the ability of the cells to clear the cytotoxic agents, 2) LDH release indicating damage of cell membrane, and 3) tritiated thymidine incorporation measuring DNA synthesis. In the MTT method all topical antimicrobials in their usual clinical concentration showed cytotoxicity on both keratinocytes and fibroblasts by suppressing cell proliferation. Keratinocytes were more sensitive to certain antibiotics. When the 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) of topical antimicrobials were compared, the cytotoxicity to keratinocyte was, in the decreasing order, chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, povidone iodine, sulfadiazine, fusidic acid, ethanol. Gentamicin and bacitracin. The cytotoxicity to fibroblasts was, in decreasing order, chiorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, povidone iodine, fusidic acid, ethanol, sulfadiazine, bacitracin, and gentamicin. Most of the antimicrobials tested increased LDH release by keratinocyte in IC50.Chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide and povidone iodine showed statistically significant increase in LDH release. The tritiated thymidine incorporation study showed the order of cytotoxicity to keratinocyte in IC50 of each antimicrobials was similar to that of the MTT method. Tritiated thymidined incorporation, however, appeared to be a more sensitive method in detecting cytotoxicity than MTT because the IC50 was lower in the former. In conclusion, all topical antimicrobials are cytotoxic to keratinocytes and fibroblast in their usual concentration. Because of their cytotoxicity it is suggested that one should use topical antimicrobials in a dilution of up to 1 : 1,000 of commonly used concentration for a short period only especially when applied directly on a skin graft or wounds without a protective barrier. Bacitracin or gentamicin appear to be less cytotoxic among all the antimicrobials tested.
