최희원,김수미,황호길 大韓齒科保存學會 2008 Restorative Dentistry & Endodontics Vol.33 No.6

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the apical sealing according to the depth of the System B Plugger tip when root canal was filled with gutta-percha and sealer by Continuous Wave of Condensation technique in the Type Ⅳ canal. 50 simulated resin blocks with J-shaped curvature canals were instrumented by ProTaper (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballagiues, Switzerland) Ni-Ti files using the crown-down technique. Type Ⅳ canals were made using a broken ProTaper F3 Ni-Ti file for making a ledge at 3mm short from the working length. And ProTaper F1 Ni-Ti file was used for perforating resin block. The prepared Type Ⅳ canals were randomly divided into three experimental groups of 15 each according to the depth of System B Plugger tip. All of experimental groups were obturated with Continuous Wave of Condensation technique. The length of gutta-percha and sealer in lingual of the Type Ⅳ canals was measured with a measuring digital calliper under magnifying glass (x 2.3). The results are as follows : 1. In control group, there was no gutta-percha and sealer in lingual canal. 2. 3 mm group showed relatively more gutta-percha than 5mm or 7 mm group (p<0.05) 3. 7 mm group did not showed gutta-percha and relatively more void were observed than 3mm or 5 mm group. (p<0.05) In conclusion, within the limits of the results of this experiment, the 3 mm depth of System B Plugger tip was acceptable for obturating the Type Ⅳ canal. 본 연구의 목적은 제 Ⅳ형 근관에서 Continuous Wave 가압법을 이용하여 충전할 때 System B Plugger tip의 깊이에 따른 근단부 밀폐효과를 평가하기 위함이다. 50개의 J형 만곡을 갖는 레진 블록에 부러진 F3 ProTaper파일을 이용해 근관장에서 3mm 지점에 ledge를 형성한 후, F1ProTaper Ni-Ti file을 이용해 레진 블록을 천공시켜 제 Ⅳ형 근관을 형성하고 System B Plugger tip의 깊이에 따라 3개의 실험군과 1개의 대조군으로 분류하였다. 제 Ⅳ형 근관의 거터퍼쳐와 실러의 길이는 확대경하에서 캘리퍼를 이용해 측정하였고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 대조군의 설측 근관에서 거터퍼쳐와 실러 모두 관찰되지 않았다. 2. 3 mm군에서는 5mm또는 7mm군에 비해 유의하게 많은 거터퍼쳐의 충전이 관찰되었다 (p<0.05). 3. 7 mm군에서는 유의하게 많은 빈 공간이 관찰되었다 (p<0.05).

본 연구는 측모두부방사선사진 촬영시 발생될 수 있는 두부회전이 측정된 선, 각계측치들에 어느 정도의 투사오차를 야기시키는지 알아보기 위해 조선대학교 의과대학 해부학교실에 소장중인 건조두개골 중 비교적 상태가 양호하고 특별한 비대칭이 없는 영구치열기의 건조두개골 17개를 표본으로 선택하여 시행하였다. 각각의 건조두개골을 수직축(Z축)을 중심으로 기준위치(0˚)에 대해 1˚ 간격으로 ±15˚ 까지 실험적으로 회전시켜 총 527장의 측모두부방사선사진을 촬영하였다. 이를 근거로 기준위치(0˚)에서의 계측치와 각 회전각에서의 계측치들 사이에 paired t-test를 시행하여 측모두부방사선사진 계측치 간의 차이를 규명하였으며, 이를 통해 투사오차의 관점에서 교정학적으로 유용한 측모두부방사선 계측항목을 구한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1.각계측항목이 선계측항목에 비해 투사오차가 작았다. 2.각계측항목은 정중시상면에 위치한 기준점들을 많이 포함할수록 투사오차가 작았다. 3.수평선계측항목의 길이는 필름방향으로 회전됨에 따라 점진적으로 감소되었으나, 초점 방향으로 회전됨에 따라서는 증가되다가 감소되었으며 상대적으로 그 변화양이 작았다. 4.두부회전에 따른 투사오차는 수직선계측항목에 비해 수평선계측항목에서 컸다. 5.수직선계측항목은 회전축으로부터 거리가 증가함에 따라 투사오차가 증가하였다. 이상을 종합해 볼 때 두부회전에 따른 측모두부방사선사진 계측치의 투사오차를 최소로 하기 위해서는 선계측항목보다는 각계측항목을 사용하는 것이 유용할 것으로 사료된다. This study was performed to find out the effect of projection errors on cephalometric linear and angular measurements according to head rotation during taking lateral cephalometric radiographs. Seventeen skulls with permanent dentition and no gross asymmetry were obtained from the Department of Anatomy, Medical School, Chosun University. Total 527 x-ray films were taken with 1˚ interval from the reference position(0˚) to ±15˚ around the vertical axis (Z axis) which is perpendicular to the midpoint of the line connecting the center of two ear rods in submento-vertex direction. Statistical analysis was performed by faired t-test if there were statistically significant differences between the mean of the reference position(0") and that of each rotation angle. The following results were obtained. 1.The projection errors of angular measurements were smaller than those of linear measurements. 2.The projection errors of angular measurements including midline landmarks were smaller than those including bilateral landmarks. 3.The horizontal linear measurements were gradually decreased when the skull was rotated toward the film, but slightly increased and then decreased when the skull was rotated toward the focal spot. However, the changes were smaller in focal direction. 4.The projection errors of horizontal linear measurements were larger than those of vertical linear measurements. 5.The projection errors of vertical linear measurements were increased with increased distance from the rotation axis to vertical measurements. It is concluded that the use of angular measeurements rather than linear measurements is recommended to minimize the projection errors.

Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy are the major neuromuscular disorders with X-linked recessive inheritance. Preimplantation diagnosis of sex determination has been generally used to avoid male pregnancies with these diseases. However, in order to determine if the embryo is normal, carrier or affected regardless of the sex, there is a need for a combined analysis of specific exon on dystrophin gene as well as sex determination of embryo using the same biopsied blastomere. If the exon deletion is not determinable, further diagnosis of carrier or patient can be performed by haplotype analysis. In this study, we applied the primer extension preamplification (PEP) method, which amplifies the whole genome, in 40 cases of single amniocyte and 40 cases of chorionic villus cell. We analysed haplotypes using two (CA)n dinucleotide polymorphic markers located at the end of 5' and 3' region of the dystrophin gene. Exon 46 of dystrophin gene and DYZ3 on chromosome Y were chosen as a target sequence for coamplification PCR. Upon optimizing the conditions, the amplification rates were 91.25% (73/80) for haplotypes (92.5% in amniocyte, 90% in chorionic villus cell) and 88.75% (71/80) for coamplification (85% in amniocyte, 92.5% in chorionic villus cell). The result of the study indicates that haplotypes analysis and coamplification of dystrophin and Y-specific gene using PEP can be applied to prenatal and preimplantation diagnosis in Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy making it possible to determine if the fetus is a carrier or an affected one.

Background: It is well-known that cell-free nucleic acids rise in patients with many types of malignancies. Several recent experimental studies using cancer cell lines have shown that changes in cell-free RNA are predictive of the response to chemotherapy. The objective of this study was to determine whether quantification of free RNA can be used as a biomarker for clinical responses to chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer. Methods: Thirty-two patients with lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer, n=24; small cell lung cancer, n=8) were divided into 2 groups according to their responses to chemotherapy (response group, n=19; non-response group, n=13). Blood samples were collected before and after two cycles of chemotherapy. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR was used for transcript quantification of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene. Results: The pre chemotherapy values (Response group 41.36±1.72 vs. Non-response group 41.33±1.54, p=0.78) and post chemotherapy values (Response group 39.92±1.81 vs. Non-response group 40.41±1.47, p=0.40) for cell free RNA concentrations, expressed as Ct GAPDH (threshold cycle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene) levels, was not different between the two groups. There was no significant relationship between changes in the cell free RNA level clinical responses after chemotherapy (p=0.43). Conclusion: We did not find a correlation between quantification of serum cell free RNA levels and clinical responses to chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer. Further investigations are needed to determine whether the cell free RNA level is a useful predictor of responses to chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer.

This paper reports 3 cases with 46,XX sex reversed male. Three 46,XX hypogonadal subjects showed complete sex reversal and had normal phallus and azoospermia. We studied them under clinical, cytogenetic and molecular aspects to find out the origin of the sex reversal. Patients had markedly elevated serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and lutenizing hormone (LH) and decreased or normal range of serum testosterone. The testicular volumes were small (3-8㎖). Testicular biopsy showed Leydig cell hyperplasia and atrophy of seminiferous tubules. We obtained a normal female karyotype with 46,XX, and the presence of Y chromosome mosaicism was ruled out through XY dual fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). By using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we amplified short arm (SRY, PABY, ZFY and DYS14), centromere (DYZ3), and heterochromatin (DYZ1) region of the Y chromosome. PCR amplification of DNA from these patients showed the presence of the sex-determining region of the Y chromosome (SRY) but didn't show the centromere and heterochromatin region sequence. The SRY gene was detected in all the three patients. Amplification patterns of the other regions were different in these patients; one had four amplified loci (PABY+, SRY+, ZFY+, DYS14+), another hod two loci (SRY+, ZFY+) and the other had two loci (PABY+, SRY+). We have found that each patient's translocation elements had different breakpoints at upstream and downstream of the SRY gene region. We conclude that the testicular development in 46,XX male patients were due to insertion or translocation of SRY gene into X chromosome or autosomes.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type I is a common severe autosomal recessive inherited neuromuscular disorder that has been mapped to chromosome 5q11.2-13.3. The survival motor neuron (SMN) gene, a candidate gene, is known to be deleted in 96% of patients with SMA type I. Presently, PCR and single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analyses have been made possible for application to both archival slides and paraffin-embedded tissues. Archival materials represent valuable DNA resources for genetic diagnosis. We applied these methods for the identification of SMN gene of SMA type I in archival specimens for the prenatal diagnosis. In this study, we performed the prenatal diagnosis with chorionic villus sampling (CVS) cells on two women who had experienced neonatal death of SMA type I. DNA extraction was done from archival slide and tissue materials and PEP-PCR was performed using CVS cells. In order to identify common deletion region of SMN and neuronal apoptosis-inhibitory protein (NAIP) genes, cold PCR-SSCP and PCR-restriction site assay were carried out. Case 1 had deletions of the exons 7 and 8, and case 2 had exon 7 only on the telomeric SMN gene. Both cases were found to be normal on NAIP gene. These results were the same for both CVS and archival biopsied specimens. In both cases, the fetuses were, therefore, predicted to be at very high risk of being affected and the pregnancy were terminated. These data clearly demonstrate that archival slide and paraffin-embedded tissues can be a valuable source of DNA when the prenatal genetic diagnosis is needed in case any source for genetic analysis is not readily available due to previous death of the fetus or neonate.

Transcriptional regulation of IL-8 by iron chelator in human epithelial cells is independent from NF-κB but involves ERK1/2- and p38 kinase-dependent activation of AP-1

Choi, Eun-Young,Park, Zee-Yong,Choi, Eun-Ju,Oh, Hyun-Mee,Lee, SungGa,Choi, Suck-Chei,Lee, Kang-Min,Im, Sin-Hyeog,Chun, Jang-Soo,Jun, Chang-Duk Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company 2007 Journal of cellular biochemistry Vol.102 No.6

<P>We have shown that the bacterial iron chelator, deferoxamine (DFO), triggers inflammatory signals including the production of CXC chemokine IL-8, in human intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) by activating the ERK1/2 and p38 kinase pathways. In this study we investigated the mechanisms involved in IL-8 generation by DFO, focusing on the transcription factors involved and the roles of both mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in the transcription factor activation. Treatment of human epithelial HT-29 cells with DFO markedly up-regulated the expression of the essential components of the transcription factor AP-1 at a transcriptional level, while it minimally affected the expression of the NF-κB subunits. DFO also induced AP-1-dependent transcriptional activity in HT-29 cells, and this activity was further augmented by the wild-type c-Jun transfection. In contrast, the AP-1 activity by DFO was markedly decreased by the dominant-negative c-Jun transfection. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that DFO increases the specific binding of AP-1 but not of NF-κB. Such AP-1 binding and transcriptional activities were blocked by the inhibitors of the ERK1/2 and p38 kinase pathways, suggesting that both mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) lie upstream of AP-1. Besides its action on AP-1, DFO also induced the specific binding of other transcription factors such as CREB and Egr-1. In summary, our results indicate that iron chelator-induced IL-8 generation in IECs involves activation of ERK1/2 and p38 kinase and downstream activation of AP-1. A possible link between iron status and two additional transcription factors, that is, CREB and Egr-1, rather than NF-κB, was also suggested. J. Cell.
