Tissue engineering has been rapidly developed in oral and maxillofacial reconstruction. Biocompatible scaffold from chemically composites seeded with stem cells is essential and several growth factors for bone formation and angiogenesis are also required. To overcome limited activity of new bone formation with scaffolds, several biomechanical stimulation methods on cells have been made to grow cells in scaffold. Several bioreactors have been developed for real tissue growth in culture laboratory. In addition to biological stimulants like BMP, growth factors and exogenous drugs, biomechanical stimulation technique has also been known as an effective method in cell differentiation. We developed our own bioreactor with tensile mechanical strains. Then we tested with it for detection of suitable biomechanical effect on the cell differentiation and proliferation. And we also compared the results with the effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). Mechanical strain group showed more rapid reaction with cell differentiation and proliferation than non-mechanical strain group. Mechanical strain groups stimulated with 0.5∼0.7Hz for 6 hours and 8 hours showed more active cell differentiation than the group with 0.5∼0.7Hz for 2.5 hours tensile strain stimulation. Group of LIPUS also showed more rapid reaction in cell differentiation and proliferation. LIPUS with 3MHz showed more cell reaction than the LIPUS group with 1MHz. Our results showed the positive effect on differentiation and proliferation of cell with mechanical tensile strain, LIPUS both.

The vascular origin diseases occurring in the oral and maxillofacial region can be divided into hemangiomas and vascular malformation. They are rare and early lesions are not easy to diagnosis, so they may be misdiagnosed as clinicians, or the method and timing of treatment may be inappropriate. For 10 years, from August 2005 to August 2015, we analyzed the clinical records, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of 23 patients with hemangioma or vascular malformation confirmed by clinical, histopathological or radiological examination of maxillofacial lesions at department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Pusan National University Hospital and Pusan National University Dental Hospital. Chief complants of patients were mainly swelling, mass, and spot-like lesion on various intraoral sites. Treatments were performed with excision, embolization, sclerotherapy, depending on each lesions condition. Arteriovenous malformation cases were more frequently recurred than other lesions. Prognosis of lesions were relatively good but close observation should be needed.

부산항(북항) 재개발사업은 노후화된 북항 일반부두를 해양관광의 중심지역 그리고 부산시민을 위한 친수공간으로 개발하기 위해 그동안 많은 연구와 노력이 진행되어 왔으며, 현재 구체적인 방안이 모색되는 실행단계로 진입하였다. 한편, 재개발로 인한 유동장 및 해수교환의 변화는 환경적인 측면에서 중요한 검토사항 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 북항 재개발에 따른 일반적인 자료를 수집 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 하여 재개발에 따른 유동장의 변화와 만 내 해수교환을 수치실험으로 검토하였다. 실험결과, 조류속 변화는 북항 및 내항에서 감소가 나타나고 주수로상에서 증가가 나타나고 있다. 해수교환 변화는 15일이 지난 준 정상상태에서 재개발 전후 공히 약 77% 내외에 달하는 것으로 나타났다.
