Abstract Osteoblast response to Ti implants depends not only on the chemistry of implant but also physical properties surface, such as microtopography and roughness. This study was undertaken examine early changes in cell morphology gene expression during phase osteoblast interaction with titanium alloy (Ti‐6Al‐4V) surfaces two different roughnesses. MG63 osteoblast‐like cells were cultured for 2, 6, 24, 72 h smooth ( R a = 0.18 ±0.03 μm) rough 2.95 ±0.23 Ti‐6Al‐4V surfaces. Changes...

Previously, we purified a strong fibrinolytic enzyme (subtilisin DJ-4) from Bacillus sp. DJ-4 and characterized its enzymatic activity. Here, cloned the gene subtilisin DJ-4, determines nucleotide sequence, which showed 97% identity with BPN' B. amyloliquefacens. Recombinant full-subtilisin (rf-subDJ-4) mature-subtilisin (rm-subDJ-4) were expressed using pET29 vector system, their fibrin (ogen)olytic plasminogen activator activities studied. rf-subDJ-4 was found to have higher stability heat...

ProRoot MTA의 단점을 보완하기 위한 mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)의 다양한 변형제품이 개발되고 있다. 본 연구는 새로운 MTA제품들의 경화시간, 압축강도, 용해도 및 pH 특성을 물성과 비교하고자 하였다. 연구에서는 MTA (Dentsply, USA)를 포함하여 Ortho (BioMTA, Korea), Retro 그리고 Endocem (Maruchi, 이렇게 총 4종의 상용 MTA제품에 대해 평가하였다. 경화시간과 압축강도는 ISO 9917 방법에 따라, 용해도는 6876 따라 평가하였으며, pH는 고체시편 전용전극이 연결된 수소이온측정기를 이용하여 측정하였다. MTA과 경화시간은 다른 두 제품들의 경화시간에 비해 유의하게 짧았다(p0.05). MTA와 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았고(p0.05), 이들은 제품들에 높은 압축강도를 보였다(p0.05). MTA는 모든 측정시간 대에 가장 낮은 값을 보였으며, 7일째에 강도증가를...

Tooth development occurs through a complex and intricate set of gene‐expression cascades. Although its early events have been examined extensively, there are fewer reports on the late events, such as dental hard‐tissue formation. This study searched for genes involved in stages tooth development. Differential display–polymerase chain reaction revealed myelin basic protein (MBP) mRNA to be expressed differentially second molar root stage germs compared with third cap/early bell germs. The MBP...
