Research Interests

I have many research for pain mechanism especially orofacial pain.

I usually used a many animal pain models such as chronic constriction injury, partial ligation and radiofrequency thermal injury in infraorbital nerve. And then behavioral assessment of animal was performed by using von Fray filament, facial grooming time and air-puff test and so on. My co-worker has aided the assessment of biological marker and immunohistological preparation.
My colleague interest in bio-mechanism of bone formation and absorption and we have studied the effects of anesthetic drugs on osteoblast and bone formation.
