2. 부착상피를 통해서 침투된 horseradish peroxidase정도는 대조군과 실험군사이에 차이가 있었다.
3. 실험군에서 progesterone의 투여기간이 길수록 horseradlah peroxidase의 침투 정도는 점진적으로 증가하였다.
AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE PERMEABILITY OF RAT GINGIVAL
EPITHELIUM TREATED WITH PROGESTERONE
Jung Kiu Chai
Department of Dental Science The Graduate School, Yonsei University
(Directed by Prof. Yong Kwan, D.D.S., D.M.D)
This study was undertaken to observe the effect of progesterone to permeability
of gingival epithelium and horseradish peroxidase was used as a tracer.
Forty female rats were used in this experiment and divided into four groups. Each
group consists of 10 animals.
Each rat was injected intramuscularly with progesterone 0.2㎖(progesterone
5㎎/㎖)in experimental group.
On the first, fifth, tenth, fifteenth experimental day after injection,
horseradish peroxidase was applied to the gingival margin for 15minutes. At the end
of application animals were killed by cervical dislocation. The mandible with 1st
and 2nd molar portion was removed and immediately fixed in
formaldhyde-glutaraldehyde fixative. The mandible was incubated in 0.5% 3.3
diaminobenxidine tetrahydrochloride and then decalcified in 10% trichloroacetic
acid.
Decalcified tissues were frozened to section and observed histochemically.
The following results were obtained:
1. Horseradish peroxidase failed to penetrate through keratinized gingival
epithelium, but horseradish peroxidase penetrated through junctional epithelium.
2. The penetration of horseradish peroxidase through junctional epithelium was
different between control and experimental group.
3. In the experimental group, when the injection period of progesterone was
increased, the penetration of horseradish peroxidase was increased.
