법랑질의 주성분인 hydroxyapatite 분말을 성형하고 소결하여 착색을 유발한 다음 과산화수소의 농도와 적용 기간의 변화에 따라 나타나는 미세 조직과 기계적 성질의 변화 및 미백 효과 등에 관한 연구를 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 과산화수소의 농도와 적용시간이 증가함에 따라 미백 효과가 증가되었다. 2. 표면조도는 15% 과산화수소 10일, 30% 과산화수소 7, 10일 적용 시 유의한 차이로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 3. X-선회절 분석결과 미백처리 전·후의 결정상의 변화는 관찰되지 않았으나, 주사전자현미경 관찰시 표면의 미세구조는 과산화수소 농도와 적용시간의 증가에 따라 미세기공이 증가하였다. 4. 2축 굽힘강도는 30%농도의 과산화수소로 7, 10일 적용하였을 때 유의한 차이로 감소되었다(p<0.05). 5. 미소 경도값은 15% 과산화수소 10일과 30% 과산화수소 3, 7, 10일 적용 후 유의한 차이로 감소되었다(p<0.05) The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect that various concentration and application time of hydrogen peroxide had on tooth whitening and physical properties. The hydroxyapatite (HA) discs of 12 mm (Φ) x 1.2 mm (t) in dimensions were made by compression (100 kg/㎠) and sintering (at 1350℃ for 2 hours). All specimens were polished sequentially with #240 through #2000 emery paper and one side of each specimen was polished finally with 0.3 ㎛ alumina paste. The discs were placed in sterile whole stimulated saliva overnight at 37℃ in order to form an in vitro pellicle layer. Then the discs were rinsed with distilled water and soaked into staining broth at 37℃ for 7 days. These stained specimens were bleached with hydrogen peroxide according to the change of concentration (3∼30%) and application time (3∼10 days). The specimens were analyzed with a spectrophotometer, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), surface roughness tester, microhardness tester and biaxial flexural strength. The results of present study can be summarized as follows: 1. The bleaching effect was increased with the increased concentration and the extended application time of hydrogen peroxide. 2. The surface roughness was significantly increased from the specimen bleached with 15% hydrogen peroxide for 10 days and with 30% for 7 and 10 days respectively (p<0.05). 3. The changes of crystal phase observed by XRD between before and after bleaching weren' t shown of any difference, but microporous structure of surface observed by SEM was shown of increase with the increased concentration and the extended application. 4. The biaxial flexural strength was significantly decreased from bleaching of specimen with 30% hydrogen peroxide for 7 and 10 days respectively (p<0.05). 5. Microhardness was significantly decreased from bleaching with 15% hydrogen peroxide for 10 days and with 30% for 3, 7 and 10 days respectively (p<0.05). Although the tooth bleaching effect was greater when the high concentration was applied, further in vivo experiment will be needed to prove it s safety.

양철희,김재곤,백병주,양연미 大韓小兒齒科學會 2005 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.32 No.1

법랑아세포종은 1868년에 처음 보고된 이래 명칭, 발생기전, 분류 그리고 치료 방법 등에 관하여 수 많은 논란이 있어 왔는데 이는 법랑아세포종이 양성종양임에도 불구하고 종양자체의 진행이 파괴적이고, 외과적 처치를 한 후에도 재발이 잘되며, 흔하지는 않지만 악성종양과 유사하게 전이를 보이는 등 독특한 특성을 지니고 있기 때문이다. 정상세포와 암 세포 간에 차이를 보이는 유전자 혹은 정상세포에서 변형이 일어날 때 특이적으로 발현하는 유전자의 분리 및 분석하는 것은 암세포의 생성과정을 이해하는데 있어서 중요한 열쇠를 제공할 수 있다. 이에 본연구는 RNA differential display 방법 중 재연성과 반복성이 개선된 Ordered differential display(ODD)RT-PCR과 보다 개선된 GeneFishing™기술을 이용하여 악성과 양성종양 사이의 유전자 발현의 차이를 조사하고, 특이 유전자의 profile을 확보하고자 하였다. GeneFishing™기술과 RT-PCR을 수행한 결과 nasopharyngeal carcinoma gene을 제외한 9개의 유전자는 악성에서 특이적으로 발현되는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 GeneFishing™을 이용하면 각 시료간의 mRNA 상에서 발현차이를 보이는 DEG를 비교 분석하면 암관련 유전자, 항생제 내성 유전자, 그리고 분화 관련 유전자들에 대한 연구가 용이하게 수행할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. Ameloblastoma is the most commonly occurring odontogenic tumor in oral cavity. Although most are benign epithelial neoplasm, they are generally considered to be locally aggressive and destructive, exhibiting a high rate of recurrence. The biological behavior of this neoplasm is a slowly growing, locally invasive tumor without metastasis, therefore malignant neoplasm, changed its histological appearance to carcinoma or showed distant metastasis, is only defined clinically. In this study, we identified the differentially expressed genes(DEGs) in stages under benign or malignant ameloblastoma compared with normal patient using ordered differential display(ODD) reverse transcription(RT)-PCR and GeneFishing™ technology. ODD RT-PCR is rather effective when the investigation of samples containing very small amounts of total RNA must be accomplished. ODD RT-PCR used the means of amplification with anchored T-primer and adaptor specific primer, bearing definite two bases at their 3' ends and so this method could display differential 3' -expressed sequence taqs(ESTs) patterns without using full-length cDNAs. Compared with standard differential display, ODD RT-PCR is more simple and have enough sensitivity to search for molecular markers by comparing gene expression profiles. However, this method required much effort and skill to perform. GeneFishing™ modified from DD-PCR is an improved method for detecting differentially expressed genes in two or more related samples. This two step RT-PCR method uses a constant reverse primer(anchor ACP-T) to prime the RT reaction and arbitrary primer pairs(annealing control primers, ACPs) during PCR. Because of high annealing specificity of ACPs than ODD RT-PCR, the application of GeneFishing™ to DEG discovery generates reproducible, authentic, and long(100bp to 2kb) PCR products that are detectable on agarose gels. Consequently, various DEGs observed differential expression levels on agarose gels were isolated from normal, benign, and malignant tissues using these methods. The expression patterns of the some isolated DEGs through ODD RT-PCR and GeneFishing™ were confirmed by Northern blot analysis and RT-PCR. The results showed that these identified DEGs were implicated in ameloblastoma neoplasm processes. Therefore, the identified DEGs will be further studied in order to be applied in candidate selection for marker as an early diagnosis during ameloblastoma neoplasm processes.

백병주,양연미,양철희,김재곤 大韓小兒齒科學會 2001 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.28 No.4

본 연구는 소아의 외상에 관한 실태를 파악하여 외상의 예방 및 치료법을 확립하고자 전북 대학교병원 소아치과에 1998년 4월 1일부터 2000년 3월 31일까지 2년간 외상을 주소로 내원한 212명(치아수:431개)의 환자를 대상으로 설문지 및 구강검사를 통하여 연령, 성별분포, 발생원인, 초진시 처치, 치아외상의 세부항목을 조사, 분류하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 모든 나이군을 통해, 남아가 여아보다 치아외상의 더 높은 빈도를 보인다. 둘째, 환자방문이 가장 높은 나이는 유치에서는 1-2세, 영구치에서는 8-9세이다. 셋째, 외상원인으로 유치는 넘어짐, 추락, 충돌이고, 영구치는 넘어짐, 충돌, 사고, 타박 등이다. 외상빈도는 계절적으로 유치는 5월, 영구치는 3월에 가장 많으며, 유치에서는 수요일에, 영구치는 화요일과 목요일에 많다. 치아외상은 주로 오전에 발생한다. 넷째, 어린아동들은 넘어지거나 가구에 부딪혀서 가정에서 주로 손상을 받는다. 나이든 아동들은 가정밖인 학교등에서 스포츠나 사고등에 의해 외상이 증가한다. 다섯째, 가장 흔히 손상받는 부위는 상악유중절치, 상악중절치이다. 유치에서 손상은 동요·진탕이 많고, 영구치는 치관파절이 많고 또한 동요·진탕도 많다. 여섯째, 상하순 및 상악치은 열상이 가장 흔한 연조직 손상으로 나타난다. 일곱째, 초진시 처치는 유치에서 경과관찰과 발치가 가장 흔한 치료법이며, 영구치에서는 주로 수복처치와 정복고정이 시행된다. The purpose of this study is concerned wit an investigation of the actual condition of traumatic injuries of teeth and supporting structures in children to set up possible criteria for prevention and treatment of injured teeth. The materials consisted of the clinical records of 431 traumatically injured teeth of 212 children, accumulated during two years from the first of April in 1998 to the end of March in 2000, supplied from the Dept. of Pediatric Dentistry, Chonbuk National University Hospital. The incidence of injuries in boys was extremely high for permanent teeth, twice as high as in girls. Accidents to primary teeth were most common from 1 to 2 years of age and to permanent teeth were most from 8 to 9 years of age. The most common cause of trauma was a fall for both primary and permanent teeth, followed by collision. The anterior teeth in maxilla was most frequently affected by trauma in both the primary and permanent teeth. The most common type of trauma were loosening for the primary teeth, followed by luxation types which included the intrusion, displacement and extrusion and complete avulsion types. For the permanent teeth, the most common type of trauma were tooth fracture. The most common trauma of soft tissue was laceration of upper lip, lower lip and gingiva of maxilla Concerning treatment at the first visit, primary teeth with only loosening and concussion were not usually treated. Permanent teeth were often treated by crown restorations for crown fractures and by endodontic procedures for pulpal exposure. Though we could elucidate actual condition of traumatic injuries of teeth in children, we should make a follow-up survey to ensure the prognosis of injured teeth and establish the most desirable criteria for traumatized teeth in children.

선천성 다수 영구치 결손 환아의 증례보고 : CASE REPORT

백병주,신정근,김재곤,양연미,김성희 大韓小兒齒科學會 2006 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.33 No.1

선천성 치아 결손(congenital missing teeth)은 1개 이상 치아의 선천적 결손으로 hypodontia라고도 불리며 인간에서 가장 흔한 치아 발육 이상이다. 그러나 6개 이상 영구치가 결손되는 severe hypodontia, 또는 oligodontia의 경우는 0.3~0.4%의 매우 낮은 유병율을 보인다. 이환치는 제3 대구치, 상악 측절치, 하악 제2 소구치 순으로 빈발한다. 원인은 정확하게 알려진 바는 없고 외배엽 이형성증, 다운 증후군과 같은 전신질환이나 특정 유전자의 돌연변이와 연관되어 나타나기도 한다. 선천성 치아 결손이 존재하면 비이환치의 위치 이상이나, 악골 발육 감소, 심미적, 기능적 문제 등이 발생할 수 있다. 조기발견을 통한 해당 유치의 보존이 중요하며 이러한 상황의 개선을 위해 한 사분악 당 최소의 저작 단위를 확보할 수 있도록 교정적, 보철적으로 포괄적인 치료가 필요하다. 본 증례는 전신질환이 없는 다수의 영구치 선천 결손 환아에 대한 보고로써 이들은 교정치료와 간격유지를 위해 주기적으로 내원하고 있다. Congenital Missing Teeth(Hypodontia, oligodontia) is the developmental absence of one or more teeth. It has been reported as being the most common anomaly of dental development in human, relatively common in the permanent dentition. In a recent review, Vastardis has quoted incidence ranges of 1.6%~9.6% in the permanent dentition. Brook has quoted a prevalence of 3.5~6.5% in most populations, with severe hypodontia, defined as the absence of six or more teeth, having a prevalence of 0.3~0.4%. The most commonly affected teeth are third molars, followed by maxillary lateral incisor, and second premolars. The etiology is unknown, several hypotheses include trauma, nutritional deficiency, infection, metabolic abnormalities, systemic disease and genetic influence. The multiple congenital missing is commonly associated with specific syndrome or severe systemic abnormalities such as cleft lip & palate and Down's syndrome. These cases present that children have multiple congenital missing teeth in the permanent dentition, without any systemic disease. Management of this condition must be considered orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment comprehensively. In these cases, children were treated by space maintainer or orthodontic appliance and follow-up checked.

최근에 측두하악장애(Temporomandibular Disorder, TMD)는 해마다 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 측두하악장애는 저작근, 측두하악관절 및 그와 관련된 구조물의 많은 임상증상을 포함하는 포괄적인 용어이다. 측두하악장애로 치과에 내원하는 환자는 여성이 많으며, 각 연령별 분포에서 보면 10대 후반에서 20대 후반에 호발한다. 그러나 최근에는 호발연령이 낮아지는 경향을 보이고 있다. 이에 측두하악장애의 조기진단의 필요성이 요구되어지며, 본 논문에서는 진단의 한 방법으로 간편하면서 쉽게 시행할 수 있는 최대개구량을 측정하였다. 최대개구량에 관한 여러 보고가 있지만, 소아기의 전 연령을 대상으로 광범위하게 조사된 보고는 희귀하다. 이에 저자는 4세부터 13세까지 1775명의 어린이를 대상으로 최대개구량을 측정하였으며, 최대개구량과 연련, 신장, 체중에 관한 상관관계를 조사하여 악관절장애 진단의 기초적인 참고자료로 이용하고자한다. 본 연구에서는 4세에서 13세까지의 1775명(남자943명, 여자832명)을 대상으로 최대개구량과 연령, 신장, 체중의 상관관계에 관한 비교분석을 시행하여 다음의 결론을 얻었다. 1. 4세에서 12세까지의 연령군중 4세, 8세, 12세의 평균 최대개구량을 보면 남자의 경우 각각 40.16mm, 47.32mm, 50.54mm였고, 여자의 경우 각각 39.79mm, 44.85mm, 48.09mm였다. 2. 연령이 증가함에 따라 최대개구량은 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 남자가 여자보다 큰 측정치를 보였다. 3. 신장이 증가함에 따라 최대개구량은 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 105cm 이상 115cm 미만을 제외하고는 남자가 여자보다 큰 측정치를 보였다. 4. 체중이 증가함에 따라 최대개구량은 증가되는 경향을 보였으며, 모든 군에서 남자가 여자보다 큰 측정치를 보였다. 5. 최대개구량과 연령, 신장, 체중간의 관계에서 유의한 순상관 관계를 보였으며, 신장이 가장 높은 상관성을 보였다. Recently, tempormandibular disorder(TMD) shows an tendency to increase every year. TMD is a collective term embracing a number of clinical problems that involve the masticatory musculature, temporomandibular joint(TMJ) and associated structures, or both. TMD, viewed in distribution of age, often occurred from late teens to late twenties. But recently, the age of occurrence tends to be lower. Accordingly, early diagnosis of tempormandibular disorder is very important. In this study, we measured the maximum mouth opening which is simple and easy to carry out as a way of TMD diagnosis. In this study, the maximum mouth opening was examined for 1,775 children from 4 to 12 years of age. We compared the relationship between the maximum mouth opening with the age, height, and weight. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The mean maximum mouth openings of 4, 8, and 12 year of age were respectively 40.16mm, 47.32mm, 50.54mm for male, 39.79mm, 44.85mm, 48.09mm for female. 2. The maximum mouth opening increased with age, and the values were greater in male than in female. 3. The maximum mouth opening increased wit height, and the values were greater in male than in female except between 105cm and 115cm. 4. The maximum mouth opening increased with weight, and the values were greater in male than in female. 5. The correlation between the maximum mouth opeing with the age, height, and weight was all significant and height showed the highest correlation.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the stress coping strategies and psychological charactehstics, such as combined psychopathology and tendency of symptom interpretation, in patients with somatization disorder. Methods : Thirty patients meeting the criteria of DSM-IV somatization disorder were compared with thirty controls. We evaluated the subjects using Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), Somato-Sensory Amplification Scale (SSAS), Symptom Interpretation Questionnaire (SIQ), and The Ways of Stress Coping Questionnaire (SCQ). Independent t-test and Pearson correlation analysis were used. Results : From the results of SCL-90-R subscales, the scores of somatization, obsession-compulsion, depression, anxiety, and psychoticism were significantly higher in patients with somatization disorder than nonnal controls. Somatization disorder patients had greater amplification of physical sensation in SSAS and significantly higher score in physical interpretation of SIQ compared with psychological or environmental interpretation, In the SCQ of somatization disorder patients, we observed generallylower levels of total coping scores than the control group and significant positive correlation between passive coping style of SCQ and psychological interpretation of SIQ. Conclusion : These results show that patients with somatization disorder have various psychopathology, greater amplification of physical sensation, physical interpretation tendency of symptoms, and insufficient copying strategy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to construct and test a structural equation model of nurses' turnover intention. Method: The participants were 716 nurses at 4 university hospitals. Data were collected by a self-report questionnaire in 2008 and analyzed using SPSS 12.0 and AMOS 4.0 Win program. Results: The fit indices of modified model were x²=285.928(p<.001),x²/df=1.958GFI=0.964, RMSEA=0.037, AGFI=0.944, NFI=0.947, NNFI=0.961, CFI=0.973, PNFI=0.658 and showed high compatibility with the empirical data. In the final model, job stress and satisfaction were found to have significant direct effects on nurses' turnover intention, while organizational culture and emotional labor were very important factors to have indirect effects on turnover intention via job stress and satisfaction. Nurses' turnover intention was accounted for 41.2% of covariance by these factors. Conclusions: Comprehensive nursing interventions for decreasing nurses' turnover intention should be focused on reducing job stress and increasing job satisfaction. Also, Nursing strategy for enhancing positive organizational culture and decreasing emotional labor would be helpful for decreasing nurses' turnover intention, too. Further studies are needed to prospectively conduct to verify these causal relationships with larger sample.

혼합치열기의 miniscrew를 이용한 교정치료

임수민,양연미,김재곤,백병주,이용훈,신정근 大韓小兒齒科學會 2008 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.35 No.2

Anchorage plays an important role in orthodontic treatment, Skeletal anchorage like the miniscrew is considered a more effective method in anchorage control than conventional anchorage which needs much patient s cooperation. The miniscrew offers many advantages. 1) It is easy to insert and to remove. 2) It can endure the force needed for moving teeth. 3) It can be immediately loaded and 4) Patient cooperation is not needed. 5) It is economic compared to other skeletal anchorage systems, In comparison to adult's bones, children s bones have comparatively poor bone quality and quantity. Therefore, it is hard to obtain primary stability in younger patients. However, if the miniscrew can be retained successfully, it will be effective in many orthodontic treatments. In these cases we used the miniscrew in correcting of diastema, in aligning dental midline, and in rendering a forced eruption of impacted tooth in mixed dentition patient. We obtained satisfactory results. 교정치료 시 고정원은 항상 염두에 두면서 치료를 진행해야 하는 중요한 요소이다. 전통적인 고정원을 이용한 치료는 환자의 적극적인 협조를 필요로 하고 원하는 치아이동에 대한 반작용이 나타날 수 있는 등의 부작용을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 보다 견고한 구강 내 고정원이 요구되어져 왔으며 이를 위해 miniscrew가 임상에서 흔히 이용되고 있다. Miniscrew를 통한 고정원의 확보는 구외력 의존도 감소,치료기간의 단축,식립 후 즉시 교정력 적용,환자의 협조도 불필요,식립의 간편성,저렴한 비용 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 성장기 환자는 성인에 비해 골질이 좋지 않아 miniscrew의 성공률이 성인에 비해 낮다. 그러나 일단 고정에 성공하면 많은 교정치료 시 매우 유용하게 이용할 수 있다. 본 증례는 흔합치열기 환자를 miniscrew를 이용하여 정중이개 및 정중선 불일치,매복치에 대한 양호한 교정치료를 하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
