Abstract

The bone formation and re-formation are regulated by two factors that are the synthesis of bone matrix by osteoblast and reabsorption by osteoclast. Recently, there are many studies about regeneration and healing of bone tissue by activation of osteoblast. In general, it is known that the activation of osteoblast is influenced by not only biological stimulus but physical stimulus. In this study, we verified that ostoeblast activation was influenced by low intensity ultrasound. Various ultrasonic properties were used to find out the most appropriate condition on cell activation. From this study, we could confirm that 0.3W/$\textrm{cm}^2$ intensity of ultrasound was the most appropriate to tell activation over whole duty cycles and the increasing rate of tell was the highest at 50％ duty cycle. Thus, it is expected that optimal ultrasonic characteristics on regeneration of bone matrix may be applied to fracture and osteoporosis healing.

뼈의 형성과 재형정은 조골세포에 의한 골기질의 합성과 파골세포에 의한 재흡수에 의해 조절된다. 최근에는 골형성세포의 활성화를 통한 골조직의 재생 및 치유에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 골형성 세포의 활성화는 생물학적 자극뿐만 아니라 물리적 자극에 의해서도 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 물리적 자극 가운데에서 연구가 거의 되지 않은 저강도 초음파가 골형성 세포의 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 우선 다양한 특성의 초음파를 사용함으로써 세포활성에 미치는 최적의 초음파 조건을 결정하였다 본 연구 결과 전체 duty cycle에서 초음파 강도가 0.3W/$\textrm{cm}^2$일 경우가 세포활성에 가장 적합하며 duty cycle 50%인 경우 최고의 세포수 증가율을 나타내었다. 이와 같이 골조직의 재생에 적합한 초음파의 특성을 결정하여 골절 및 골다공증의 치료에 초음파를 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
