  • The structure of integumentary epidermis is studied in the bastard halibut, Paralichthys olivaceus based on the light and transmission electron microscope. Epidermal layer consists of supporting cells, unicellular glands and accessory cells. The supporting cells were classified into superficial cell, intermediated cell and basal cell. Superficial cell of epidermal layer is squamous or cuboidal and the surface is covered with numerous microridges. The supporting cells are connected to another cell with membrane interdigitations and desmosmes. And tonofilaments are developed in the cortical cytoplasm. Gland cells are classified into mucous cell and club cell. By the histochemical studies of the epidermal secretions the mucous materials are identified as neutral polysaccharides. Club cell has numerous vacuoles and microfilaments in the cytoplasm. Also chloride cells are observed in the epidermis, it cytoplasm is occupied numerous mitochondria.

  • Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer known as one of endocrine disruptors. The present study was carried out to investigate the alterations of function and ultrastructure in rat testes after oral intubation of DEHP in dosages of 1g/kg/day, 2 g/kg/day or 3 g/kg/day in 0.5 ml of corn oil for 15 days. DEHP reduced the growth of body and testes, inhibited apermatogenesis and induced structural changes on various cell types of the rat testis. Leydig cells, Sertoli cells and the developing germ cells seemed to be impaired their differentiations in terms of the structural changes of cell organelles. The increase of heterochromatin in amount were common features in all 3 cell types. In addition, the Leydig cells were characterized by the swelling of smooth endoplasmic reticulum and perinuclear space, the increases in number and size of Iysosomes. The Sertoli cells became irregular in nuclear envelope and the number of Iysosomes and vacuoles seemed to be increased. There were some indications of necrosis of the germ cells, such as vacuolized nucleus and segregated nucleolus. And also, DEHP lowered the level of testosterone in experimental rat serum. DEHP suppressed apermatogenesis decreasing developing germ cells and these effects of DEHP on the rat testis were dose dependent. The detrimental effect of DEHP on apermatogenesis and ultrastructure of rat testes seems to be derived from the decreased level of testosterone by Leydig cells, followed by the abnomalities of Sertoli cells and the germ cells.

  • Experimatal maxillary sinusitis was induced in New Zealand white rabbits by blocking the maxillary sinus ostium. The distribution of lectin receptors was explored in the mucosa with induced maxillary sinusitis using colloidal gold label complex with lectin WGA purified from wheat germ (Triticum vulgaris). The lectin WGA gold complex, shown to recognize GlcNac (N-acetylglucosamine) and NeuNAc (N-acetylneuraminic acid) regions, was applied to detect binding sites in Lowicryl HM 20 sections and viewed under the electron microscope. An increased height of the cylindric cells, ciliary loss and hyperplasia of the secretory cells were observed. Examination of normal sinus mucosa labeled with gold-labeled lectins showed the distribution of sialoglycoconjugates to be mainly in the ciliary layer and the granules in the secretory cells. Inflamed mucosa had increased labeling intensity of gold-labeled WGA in the cilia and the secretory granules. These results indicate that lectin WGA receptors are located in the cilia and secretory granules. Specific changes in the lectin binding pattern were apparent in the inflamed mucosa in the experimentally induced acute sinusitis, in comparison with normal mucosa, conceivably as a part of host defense reactions.

  • In this study, we carried out immunostaining and immunogold labeling with antibodies to serotonin and somatostatin to examine the characteristics and functions of the neurons that secrete neurotransmitters in optic lobes of Todarodes pacificus and Octopus minor. As a result of immunostaining with anti-somatostatin, the nerve cells of Todarodes pacificus reacted as similar to the anti-serotonin, but in Octopus minor, only large cells in the outer granule cell layer reacted positively. In the immunogold labeling with anti-serotonin, the nerve cells in the inner grande cell layer and medulla of Todarodes pacificus reacted strongly, 30 gold particles being labeled per $0.5{\mu}m^2$ of the cytoplasm. However, in Octopus minor, only 17 gold particles were labeled, which stated a weak reaction. On the other hand, in the anti-somatostatin case, the nerve cells in the outer and inner granule cell layers and medulla of Todarodes pacificus showed strong reaction, 30 gold particles being labeled per $0.5{\mu}m^2$ of the cytoplasm while the nerve cells in the outer granule cell layer of Octopus minor reacted weakly, about 3 gold particles being labeled per the equivalent area. As a result of immunostaining and immunogold labeling with two types of antibodies to each part of the optic lobes, we found that the reactive nerve cells were distributed differently in the two species. In particular, the degree of reactivity to the immunostaining and immunogold labeling appeared stronger in Todarodes pacificus than in Octopus minor.

  • 많은 연구들에서 hMSC를 얻기 위해 centrifugation, fluoroscence activated cell sorter(FACS), magnetic activated cell sorter(MACS)가 이용되어져 왔다. 그러나 centrifugation만을 이용한 경우 순도가 떨어지며 FACS나 MACS의 경우에는 비용, 시간이 많이 드는 단점이 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 antibody cocktail을 이용하여 hMSC를 좀더 쉽게 얻어내는 방법에 대해 알아보았다. 사람의 골반에서 12G의 바늘을 이용하여 골수를 흡입한 후 heparin이 들어있는 시험관에 넣고 처리과정을 시행하기 전에 냉장고에 보관하며 가능한 한 빨리 처리 과정을 실시한다. 얻은 골수에 적당량의 RosetteSep( Stemcell Technologies)을 첨가한 후 실온에서 20분간 반응시킨다. 그 후 적당량의 Ficoll-paque위에 골수와 RosetteSep의 혼합물을 섞이지 않게 올리고 원심분리를 이용하여 원하는 세포층을 얻어낸다. 이 세포층을 따로 분리한 뒤 배양한다. 배양 시 세포가 80%이상 차기 전에 계속 passage를 시행하며 배양한다. 이는 세포가 밀도가 높아져 원치 않는 세포로 분화되는 것을 막기 위함이다. 배양된 세포가 다양한 분화능력을 가지고 있는지 알아보기 위해 세 가지로 분화를 유도하였다. 적절한 배지와 적절한 환경에서 배양함으로써 얻어진 세포를 osteoblast, chondroblast, adipocyte로 분화를 유도하였다. 분화된 세포가 원하는 형질의 세포로 분화되었는지를 확인하기 위하여 osteoblast의 경우 alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase activity, chondroblast의 경우 toluidine blue staining, adipocyte의 경우 Oil-Red-O staining으로 염색하여 분화를 확인하였다. 분리해낸 세포는 각각 세 가지 세포로 분화가 되었으며 이는 RosetteSep이 hMSC를 성공적으로 분리해냈다는 것을 보여준다. 그러나 모든 세포가 분화를 보이지는 않았으며 따라서 hMSC의 순도를 높이기 위한 연구가 더 필요하다. RosetteSep을 이용하면 다른 방법들 보다 쉽게 hMSC를 얻을 수 있으나 기존의 방법과 순도의 측면에서 더 비교할 필요가 있다.

  • 유선에 존재하는 유선상피 기저세포(mammary epithelial stem cells)의 증거와 정상조직 혹은 종양조직 발생에서 이들의 역할들을 요약한다. 유선의 실질조직에 기저세포가 존재한다는 것은 여러 형태의 이식실험에서 설명되었고 또 기저세포의 표현형적 특징들은 여러 가지의 vonoclonal antibodies에 의해 논증되었다. 이들 연구의 결과들은 유선의 기저세포군이 end bud와 유선의 기저층(basal layer)에 존재한다고 제시하고 있다. 그러나 이들 기저세포들이 유선의 preneoplasias와 neoplasias에서도 존재하는지에 대해서는 아직까지 명확한 대답을 주고 있지 않다. 명확한 결론을 얻기 위해서는 기저세포에만 특이적으로 나타나는 phenotypic marker들을 확인해야 하고 또 이들이 변형(transformation)된 세포군에도 표현되는 지를 확인할 때에야 가능할 것이다.

  • The fine structure of the aggregate glands-one of the capture thread producing organs-in the orb web spider, Nephila clavata L.Koch, is studied with light and electron microscopes. Gluey capture threads or sticky spirals of the orb web are originated from the silks of two flagelliform glands and four aggregate glands which are connected to the posterior spinnerets, and the arrangement fo their spigots(large spinning tubes) shows a charaterstic form called "triad". The aggregate galnd is composed of large and multilobed secretory portion and thick excretory duct surrounded by large irregular nodules. The excretory duct of the aggregate galnds basically consists of three superposed types of cells which are inner columnar epithelium, nodule-forming cells and outer connestives. The cuticles of the proximal duct near the secretory portion are composed of endocuticle and exocuticle, whereas ghe distal duct near the spinning tubes has a electron lucent subcuticle which had the functions of water removal and orientation of silk fibers. In the cytoplasmic process of the large and irregular nodule-forming cells surrounded by invaginations of the plasma membranes, numerous mitochondria and glycogen particles are contained. The maturational level of the nodule cells is perceived from the appearence of these cell inclusions. The secretory portion of the glands which porduce the secretory silk material shows two layers of the cells which are simple cuboidal epithelium and several connective layers. In the cytoplasm of the glandular epithelial cell, rough endoplasmic reticulums are well developed, and two types of secretory granules are observed. Between the adjacent epithelial cells, specialized septate junctions are formed along the plasma membranes.membranes.

  • Plant cell cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon were performed in stirred tank and packed-bed reactors with in situ extraction by n-hexadecane. The specific shikonin production and volumetric shikonin productivity of stirred tank reactor reached 1.5 mg shikoninlg cell and 400$\mu g$ shikonin/(L.day), respectively. In packed-bed reactor with calcium alginate-immobilized cells specific shikonin production and volumetric productivity reached 2.0 mg shikoninlg cell and 2857$\mu g$ shikonin/(L.day), which were 1.3 and 7.1 times higher than those of stirred tank reactor, respectively. The higher shikonin production and productivity of packed-bed reactor seemed to be due to high cell loading capacity of calcium alginate immobilized cells in packed-bed reactor and improved cell-cell contact.

  • 천연 대마섬유의 UVB 차단 효과를 조사하고자 mouse를 4개의 그룹으로 구분하여 자외선을 조사한 뒤 외이의 조직절편을 제작하여 비교 분석하였다. 자외선을 직접 조사한 실험군[U], 대마섬유로 차단한 뒤 자외선을 조사한 실험군[H], 폴리에스테르 섬유로 차단한 후 자외선을 조사한 실험군[P], 자외선을 조사하지 않은 대조군[C]으로 나누어 실험한 후 광학현미경하에서 피부 조직의 변화를 관찰하였다. 대조군[C] 외이조직의 상피세포층 두께는 $16.3\;{\mu}m$이었지만, 자외선을 직접 조사한[U]군의 상피세포층은 $65.4\;{\mu}m$, [H]군은 $33.3\;{\mu}m$, [P]군은 $41.0\;{\mu}m$의 두께 변화를 보였다. 또한, 정상적인 외이의 상피세포의 단면적은 $22.0\;{\mu}m^2$이었으나, 자외선을 직접 조사한 [U]군의 상피세포층은 $37.7\;{\mu}m^2$, [H]군은 $30.1\;{\mu}m^2$, [P]군은 $30.2\;{\mu}m^2$이었다. 따라서 천연 대마섬유와 합성 폴리에스테르섬유 모두 UVB를 차단하는 능력을 갖고 있지만 전자가 후자보다 더 효과적으로 UVB를 차단함을 알 수 있었다.
