The fine structural characteristics of the apoptotic cells in the cutaneous epithelium of the anuran tadpole of the black-spotted frog, Rana nigromaculata was examined using the TUNEL (Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated biotinylated d-Uridine triphosphate Nick End Labeling) staining technique and TEM (transmission electron microscopy) observations. The cutaneous epithelium of the tadpole was composed of stratified cuboidal cells and the apoptotic cell death was observed continuously during the tail degeneration stages from the Shumway stage number 31 to 33. The early apoptotic cells shown in the epithelium demonstrated condensation and margination of the chromatin material at the nuclear periphery, and nuclear breakdown and cytoplasmic condensation were followed. Subsequent cytoplasmic degeneration of the apoptotic cell were produced by membrane-bounded cell fragments with relatively well preserved organelles. Following the processes of autophagic degradation, the late apoptotic cells being phagocytosed by other surrounding cells. These nearby cells, presumptive intraepithelial macrophages, contain a variety of lysosomal residual bodies which fuses with other cell organelles or other cytoplasmatic material to form secondary lysosomes. They are soon transformed into lamellar shaped vesicles and finally disappeared during the process of degradation.

The morphological effects of intranasal zinc sulfate(5% solution) irrigation on the mouse olfactory epithelium and the regeneration process of olfactory receptor cells following nasal irrigation were studied with scanning and transmission electron microscope. The results were as follows: 1. The septal epithelium except some basal cells was wholly detached from the basement membrane, during the first 6 to 24 hours after 5% zinc sulfate irrigation. 2. 3 days after $ZnSO_4$ treatment, two layered septal epithelium was formed from basal cells. And microvilli were observed in the apical epithelium of newly formed olfactory epithelial cells. 3. 5 days after treatment, a lot of centrosomes and basal bodies were observed in the olfactory receptor cells, and cilia were lined up between microvilli on the apical membrane of olfactory receptor cells. And immature olfactory knob was first observed in the newly formed olfactory receptor cells. Mature olfactory knob was observed 1 week after treatment. 4. There are very many mature olfactory knobs in the olfactory receptor cells 2 weeks after intranasal zinc sulfate irrigation. These results support that treatment with 5% zinc sulfate is a good experimental model for the regeneration of mammalian nervous tissues because this method could thoroughly detach the septal epithelium. During the regeneration of olfactory receptor cells, the surface membrane of the olfactory receptor cells widen the surface with the microvilli. Then cilia, which arranged in a line, substituted for the microvilli. The part of the surface membrane with cilia protruded and finally formed the olfactory vesicle.

The activities of $\beta$-glucosidase, $\beta$-glucuronidase and N-acetyl-$\beta$-glucosaminidase were measured to investigate the relationships of them to sexual maturity. Peritoneal injections of testosterone and dibutyryl cAMP to rats were carried out. As a result, the activities of $\beta$-glucosidase and N-acetyl-$\beta$-glucosaminidase were significantly decreased from the third day and that of P -glucurondiase on the seventh day in the castrated groups. In addition, ihe activities of these three enzymes were significantly increased in the testosterone treated groups for 7 days. In case of dbcAMP injection, the activities of these three enzymes were similar to those of castrated groups or had a tendency to be decreased. On electron microscopic examination, principal cells, basal cells and narrow cells were observed in all regions of epididymis. Principal cells were general forms of columnar epithelial cells. Narrow cells had a number of small vesicles and light cells showed low electron density in comparison to other epithelial cells in cauda epididymis. Halo cells were migrating leucocytes btween epithelial cells.

This study was performed to observe ultrastructure of the gill and to ascertain the effect of salinity on histopathological and ultrastructural changes in the gill of the Japanese clam, Corbicula japonica. Experimental period was 7 days. Experimental groups consisted of control, 5, 10, 20 psu. $LC_{50}$ (96 h.) by the probit was 19.55 psu. Mortality was significantly different from the control (p < 0.05). Inner demibranch of the gill of C. japonica was wider 1.37 times than outer demibranch (p < 0.001). The filament zone on the plica can be distinguished by the six epithelial celll cell; frontal ciliated epithelium ($7{\mu}m$), latero-frontal ciliated epithelium ($5{\mu}m$), postlatero-frontal epithelim ($3{\times}8{\mu}m$), and lateral ciliated epithelium ($5{\mu}m$) in the frontal zone, endothelial cellin the intermediate zone, and abfrontal cell in the abfrontal zone. It had one type of secretory cell that was filled with fibrous substances of low electron density. The gill of C. japonica exposed to 5 psu for 7 days was observed partially disappearance of the cilia, and glycogen granule in the filament. In the 10 psu, gill appeared partially modification of epithelial cell and destruction of the glycocalyx. Gill exposed to 20 psu was extended nuclus of the ciliated epithelial cell, destruction of the organelles, and observed glycogen granules infiltration and numerous vacuoles. Moreover, more than 50% filaments were observed that come out chitinous rod from disappearance of epithelial cell in the filament. Therefore, the destruction of the cilia and epithelial cell induce physiological activity and it may be leading directly to death.

Purpose: To determine the effect of marketed multipurpose contact lens solutions (MPSs) on human corneal epithelial cells (HCEpiCs) toxicity by using image analysis. Methods: HCEpiCs were exposed six MPSs (product A-F) at 0.05~50% for 2h, 12h, 24h, and 48h respectively. HCEpiCs were fixed and stained with Draq5 after exposure with MPSs, and the cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated by using confocal microscope and ImageXpress UltraTM. Results: Viabilities of HCEpiCs exposed to MPS A-F for a 2h were not affected, while reductions (52~75%) in cell viability over a 12h exposure of MPS B, MPS C, MPS D and MPS F, and significant more reductions (29~73%) over a 24h and 48h-exposure. Apoptosis of HCEpiC was not affect over a 12h MPS exposure, however was significantly increased (199~526%) over 24h and 48h MPS exposure. Among the products MPS D, E and F reduced viability of HCEpiCs and apoptosis increased more than MPS A (p<0.05). Conclusions: Lower concentration of MPSs have not an cytotoxic effect on HCEpiCs, however higher concentration of MPSs induce apoptosis and reduce viability of HCEpiCs. Therefore, it need to develop MPS having antimicrobial effectiveness with low cytotoxicity.

Toad bladder의 상피수송(上皮輸送)을 분석(分析)하기 위하여 동결치환(凍結置換) 및 동결절단법(凍結切斷法)을 적용(適用)하여 전자현미경(電子顯微鏡) 관찰(觀察)을 실시하였다. 방광(膀胱)의 점막층(粘膜層)은 과립성세포(顆粒性細胞), 미토콘드리아가 풍부한 세포, 점막분필세포(粘膜分泌細胞) 및 기저세포(基底細胞)등 4가지 세포로 구성되어 있었다. 과립성세포(顆粒性細胞)는 점막표면적의 대부분을 점유하며 $Na^+$ 수송(輸送)에 주요한 역할을 하고, 정단부(頂端部)의 세포질에는 다수의 과립이 분포하며 정단세포막(頂端細胞膜)은 microvilli type I로 배열되어 있고, 표면에 glycoprotein을 함유하는 세포외막(細胞外膜)이 관찰되었다. 대조적으로 미토콘드리아가 풍부한 세포는 세포질 전역에 걸쳐 다수의 미토콘드리아가 분포해 있으며 주요 기능은 $H^{+},\;K^{+}$ 및 $HCO_{3}^{-}$ 분필수송(分泌輸送)에 관여할 것으로 생각되며 이들 수송상피(輸送上皮)는 정단부가 견고연접(堅固連接)으로 둘러 싸이고 기저세포막(基底細胞膜)은 인접세포와 서로 분리되므로 상피세포의 극성이 유지되며 정단부(頂端部) 세포막과 기저세포막의 수송특성(輸送特性)은 각기 다르다고 생각된다. 따라서 두꺼비 방광(膀胱)에서 상피수송(上皮輸送)은 세포 통과수송 및 세포간 분류수송 경로를 나타내고 있다. 한편 세포막 투과성(透過性)의 조절과 관련하여 동결절단(凍結切斷) 전자현미경 관찰에 의하면 forskolin에 촉진된 정단부(頂端部) 세포막 투과성의 변화는 세포막내(細胞膜內) 입자(粒子)의 분포와 밀접한 관계를 가지는 것으로 보인다. 특히 과립성세포(顆粒性細胞)에서 집단으로 관찰되는 세포막내(細胞膜內) 입자(粒子)는 forskolin에 유도된 정단세포막(頂端細胞膜) 투과성의 변화를 나타내주는 것으로 사료되나 이의 기능적 의미에 대하여는 연구가 더욱 필요하다고 본다.

ICI 182, 780 (ICI) has been used as an estrogen receptor inhibitor in several mammalian species. This study was conducted to observe histological changes in the reproductive system of pubescent male mice following ICI treatment, as well as to investigate the recovery of the organs over time. To accomplish this, ICI at 5 mg/0.1 ml of castor oil was subcutaneously injected into 5-week-old male mice once per week for 4 weeks. The mice were then randomly divided into no-recovery, 150-day recovery, and 300-day recovery groups. The testis of the no-recovery group showed atrophy of the seminiferous tubules, with decreased Sertoli cell numbers and thickness of the germinal epithelium. In the epididymis, the cell height of epithelial tissues was altered, but these changes were not observed in the 300-day recovery group. In the efferent ductule, the luminal diameter was increased, but the cell height of the epithelial tissues was decreased. In the prostate and seminal vesicles, the cell height of the epithelial tissues was increased, and these changes were not observed in the 150-day recovery group. These results show that ICI causes histological changes in pubescent male reproductive organs but that these changes are resolved with time.

질염 환자의 질분비물 도말에서 광학현미경상에서 고배율로 관찰한 결과 정상 상피세포에서는 질내 정상 pH를 유지하기 위해 무수한 젖산균의 존재를 확인할수 있었다. 그러나 저배율, 고배율의 광학현미경상에서 진균에 감염된 세포 주변에서 젖산균(lactobacilli)은 관찰되지 않았다. 주사전자 현미경 상에서 Candida albicans는 기능을 탈락한 상피세포의 세포질에 기생하며, biofilm의 성장환경을 만들며, budding을 통해 2차 딸세포를 형성하며, 성장과 증식을 끊임없이 반복함을 확인하였다. 성장과 재생이 주기적으로 일어나지 않은 면역력이 약화된 임산부나, 호르몬의 부족으로 인한 위축성 질염 환자는 상피세포층이 떨어지면서 나오는 글리코겐을 이용해 질내에 존재하는 lactobacilli균이 젖산을 풍부하게 만들 수 없으므로 감염증 발생이 더 높아진 것으로 사료된다.
