The puφose of this study was to evaluate the role of EGF(Epidermal Growth Factor), EGFR(Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor), aFGF(acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor or FGF-1), bFGF(basic Fibroblast Growth Factor or FGF-2), FGFR(Fibroblast Growth Faαor Receptor), and VEGF(Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) in the development of the human ameloblastomas For this study 9 subjects, diagnosed as ameloblastomas referred to the Dept. of Oral Path. College of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University, 2 subjeαs of normal oral mucosa with any inflammatory changes were used as experimental, control groups respectively. All the tissues ; experimental and control group were fixed in 10% neutral formalin solution and embedded in paraffm, serial tissue section were made 하1m in thickness and processed in the standard way for immunohistochemical method, using primary and secondary antibodies, for EGF(Antirabbit Ig G, rabbit kit at }:1oo dilution), EGFR(Antimouse Ig G, mouse kit at 1:100 dilution), aFGF(Antirabbit Ig G, rabbit kit at 1:100 dilution), bFGF(Antirabbit Ig G, rabbit kit at 1:100 dilution), FGFR(Antimouse Ig G, mouse kit at 1:100 dilution) , and VEGF(Antirabbit Ig G, rabbit kit at 1:100 dilution), all BioGenex U.S. A. made, followed by the Streptavidin - Horse Radish Peroxidase(InnoGenex, Human-avidin kit) appli때on ， counter stained with Mayer’s hematoxylin stain method. And examined under the biologic microscope, graded -(no epithelial stain), +(weak or focal epithelial stain), ++(moderate or focal intensive epithelial stain), +++(intense generalized epithelial staining) for the epithelial, and connective 따sue component in ameloblastomas and in normal mucosal epithelium on each. Attained results as follows ; 1. EGF, EGFR, aFGF, bFGF, FGFR, and VEGF showed more intense stainability on experimental group compare t，。 that on the control group. 2. EGF, EGFR, aFGF, bFGF, FGFR, and VEGF showed more intense stainability in epithelial component and more intensely stained on the peripheral ce11s of the ameloblastomas. 3. EGF, EGFR, aFGF, bFGF, FGFR, and VEGF showed positive stainability on the stromal tissues but its level is lower compare to that on the epithelial components. Those results suggested that those growth factors take a role in development and progression on the amelob비las와tomas

까le purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of EGF(Epidermal Growth Factor) , EGFR(Epidemlal Growth Factor Receptor), aFGF(acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor, FGF-1), bFGF(basic Fibroblast Growth Factor, FGF-2), FGFR(Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor), and VEGF(Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) 띠 the development of the oral squamous cell carcinoma. For this study 6 subjects, diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma refelTed to the Dept. of Oral Path. College of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University, 2 subjects of normal 이띠 mucosa with any inflammatolY changes were used as expelimental, control groups respectively. AlI the 디ssu es ; expe디me nta l and control group were fixed in 100;ú neutral fOlmalin solution and embeclded in paraffìn , seIial tissue section were made 511m in thickness ancl processecl in the standard way for immunohistochemical methocl, using primary ancl seconclalY antibodies, for EGF(Antirabbit Ig G, rabbit kit at 1:100 dilution), EGFR(Antimouse Ig G, mouse kit at 1:100 dilution), aFGF(Antirabbit Ig G, rabbit kit at 1:100 dilution), bFGF(Antirabbit Ig G, rabbit 써t at 1:100 dilution), FGFR(Antimouse Ig G, mouse kit at 1:100 dilution), ancl VEGF(Antirabbit Ig G, rabbit kit at 1:100 clilution), all BioGenex U.S.A. macle, followed by the Stre ptavidin - Horse Radish Peroxidase(InnoGenex, Human-avidin kit) application, counter stained with Mayer’s hematoxylin stain method. And examined under the biologic microscope, -(no epithelial stain), +(weak or focal epithelial stain), ++(mode rate or focal intensive epithelial stain), +++(intense generalized epithelial staining) for the epithelial, and connective tissue component in squamous cell carcinoma and in nomlal mucosal epithelium on each. Attained results as follows ; 1. It is noted that more intensed reactio n EGF, EGFR, aFGF, bFGF, FGFR, and VEGF on experimental group compare to that on the control group. 2. Increased reaction is noted on the tumor components compare to that in the stromal tissues. 3. Intensed reaction is noted on the basement membrane adjacent to cancer nest to EGF, EGFR, aFGF, bFGF, FGFR, and VEGF 4. It is noted that intensed positive reaction on cancer pearls, cancer components with hyperactivities, in cancer nest. And at the peIiphelY of cancer nest, diffuse moclerate reaction to EGF, EGFR, aFGF, bFGF, FGFR, and VEGF is notecl This results suggest that EGF, EGFR, aFGF, bFGF, FGFR, and VEGF mJy be effectecl to the growth ancl clevelopment of the squamous cell carcinoma.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of EGF(Epidermal Growth Factor), EGFR(Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor), aFGF(acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor, FGF-1), bFGF(basic Fibroblast Growth Factor, FGF-2), FGFR(Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor) in the development of radicular cyst. For this study 37 subjects, diagnosed as radicular cysts. referred to the Dept. of Oral Path. College of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University, were used as experimental group. And for control group, 2 subjects of normal oral epithelium without any inflammatory changes were used. All the tissues; experimental and control group were neutral formation fixed and paraffin embedded. serial tissue section were made at 5㎛ and processed in the standard way for immunohistochemical method, using primary antibodies against, EGF(Antirabbit Ig G at 1:100 dilution), EGFR(Antimouse Ig G at 1:100 dilution), aFGF(Antirabbit Ig G, rabbit kit at 1:100 dilution), bFGF(Antirabbit Ig G, mouse kit at 1:100 dilution), FGFR(Antimouse Ig G mouse kit at 1:100 dilution), all BioGenex U.S.A. made except EGFR(Chemicon U.S.A.) followed by the Streptavidin - Horse Radish Peroxidase (InnoGenex Human-avidin kit) application, counter stained with Meyer's hematoxylin stain method. And examined under microscope, graded 0(no epithelial stain), +(weak or focal epithelial stain), ++(moderate or focal intensive epithelial stain), +++(intense generalized epithelial staining) for the epithelium, and connective tissue of cyst wall. 1. EGF, EGFR, aFGF, bFGF, FGFR showed more intense staining on radicular cysts compare to that on the normal mucosa. 2. EGF, EGFR, aFGF, bFGF, FGFR stained in mucosa, submucosa of the control group and also stained on the lining epithelium, connective tissues of cyst wall in the experimental group. EGF, EGFR, aFGF, bFGF, FGFR take a part in the development of the radicular cyst.
