Complexities of testis structure and function are emphasized in morphometrical and genotoxic evaluation by statistical analysis. F-344 rats were treated with azinphos methyl, cyclophosphomide, and dichlorvos. And Brdu was injected with intrapertionially before sacrifice. The existence and degree of DNA damage were measured by Brdu labeling index which represented relative amount of Brdu incorporated in DNA, morphometric change was evaluated by the relative length of tubular diameter in circular seminiferous tubules and the number of spermatogonia per Sertoli cell in stage IX seminiferous tubules.

선천성 또는 외상등에 의한 후천성 기도 협착의 치료는 아직도 어려운 문제중 하나로서 해결하여야 할 많은 과제를 내포하고 있다. 특히 안정되고 유연한 구조적인 골격과 함께 호흡성상피로 피복되는 기관점막은 기관기능 보존에 있어 필수적 조건이다. 저자들은 현재까지 보고자에 따라 견해 차이가 있는, 이식연골막 및 이식점막의 운명에 대하여 시기에 따른 형태학적 변화를 관찰하고자 하였다. 즉 저자들은 혈행성 복합피판의 형태로 이식한 점막에 일어나는 변화를 형태학적으로 연구하였으며, 대조군으로는 혈행이 유지되지 않는 유리이식(free graft)으로 구성된 복합피판을 이용하였다. 또한 면역조직화학적 염색을 통해 이식 초기에 일어나는, 이식점막과 결손부 주변조직사이의 재생능의 차이를 비교하고자 하였다. 토끼 40마리를 두 군으로 나누어 각 군당 20마리씩으로 하였으며 술후 각각 2주, 4주, 6주 및 8주에 기관에 이식한 피판을 조직학적으로 분석하였다. 섬모의 재생상태는 주사현미경을 통해 관찰하였으며 각 군당 4마리의 토끼를 술 후 1일과 2일에 Brdu-Anti Brdu로 염색하여 결손된 점막의 주변부와 이식한 점막사이의 재생능이 복합피판의 구성에 따라 어떤 차이가 있는지 알아보았다. 1. 혈행성의 복합피판으로 구성된 구강점막은 원주상피로 화생(metaplasia)하는 경향을 보였으나 유리 연골막에 부착한 구강점막에서는 괴사가 진행되면서 주위의 점막에서 성장해 들어가는 양상을 보였다. 2. Brdu-Anti Brdu 염색의 결과, 복합피판의 구성에 따라 이식점막과 주위 기관상피의 염색양상에 유의한 차이를 나타내었다.

We have examined the histological changes of skin during hair follicle growth after depilation in C57BL/6N mice. We first studied on histological changes of number of mast cells and thickness of skin during hair follicle growth periods (telogen, 1 day, 3 day, 5 day, 10 day, 14 day, 17 day and 21 day after depilation) by toluidine blue, Giemsa and H&E staining methods. We second studied immunoreactive density of cytokines and Brdu labeled cells in skin during hair follicle growth periods after depilation in C57BL/6N mice by immunohistochemical methods. The histological changes on skin thickness was increased from telogen to 14 day. The number of mast cells was decreased in 3,5 and 10 day and increased in 14, 17 and 20 day after depilation. Immunoreactive density of cytokines [protein kinase C-${\alpha}$ (PKC-${\alpha}$), c-kit, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)] in 1, 3, 5, 10, and 14 day after depilation was mildly stained in bulge and cutaneous trunci m., but immunoreactive density of cytokines in 17 and 21 day was heavily stained in epidermis, bulge, outer root sheath (ORS), inner root sheath (IRS) and cutaneous trunci m.. Immunoreactive density of Brdu labeled cells in skin in 1 and 3 day was heavily stained in bulge, epidermis and connective tissue under the cutaneous trunci m.. In all periods, immunoreactive density of Brdu labeled cells in skin was heavily stained in bulge, subcutaneous tissue, cutaneous trunci m, ORS and IRS. These experiments suggest that histological changes related to hair follicle growth elevated mast cell counts, skin thickness and epidermis thickness and heavily stained immunoreactive density of cytokines and Brdu labeled cutaneous trunci m. and connective tissue under the cutaneous trunci m. after depilation in C57BL/6N mice.

A mouse ear swelling test (MEST) has been developed as an alternative to guinea pig models for contact sensitization potential. However, the MEST relies on a quantitative measurement of ear swelling as an endpoint by micrometer. In this study, we aimed to investigate the cell proliferation in ear and lymph node using Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) immunohistochemistry as a possible reliable marker for MEST.(omitted)

To determine whether topical application of trimix extracts of Mylabris phalerata Pall., Arisaematis Rhizoma and Pinelliae Rhizoma Ternata lead to affects on the hair growth activity in C57BL/6N mice. To examine the hair growth activity of the extracts of Mylabris phalerata Pall., Arisaematis Rhizoma and Pinelliae Rhizoma Ternata gross, microscopic, and immunohistochemical method were performed. In order to examine the mRNA expression of hair growth related substance, RT-PCR method was performed. Experimental group I on day 14, The most extensive hair growth activity was observed in whole skin area of all the mice whose hair had been clipped. Brdu immunoreactive cells of all the experimental groups were more heavily stained in epidermis, bulge, outer root sheath, inner root sheath, subcutaneous tissue, hair bulb and cutaneous trunci muscles than that of control group on day 12 of hair growing cycle in C57BL/6N mice. VEGF immunoreactive density of all the experimental groups was more heavily stained in epidermis, bulge and cutaneous trunci muscles than that of control group on day 12. FGF and c-kit immunoreactive cells of all the experimental groups were heavily stained in epidermis, outer root sheath, inner root sheath and cutaneous trunci muscles on day 12. PKC-$\alpha$ immunoreactive density of all the experimental groups was mildly stained in epidermis and cutaneous trunci muscles than that of control group on day 12. On day 12, the expression of bFGF (138%, 119%, 120%), VEGF (146%, 144%, 133%), IGF-1 (165%, 141%, 119%) and PLI (121%, 116%, 123&) in each experimental groups was more increased than that of control group. On day 16, The expression of IGF-1 (126%, 149%, 151%) in all the experimental group was more increased than that of control group (100%). The expression of bFGF (92%, 94%) and VEGF (101%, 97%), PL1 (102%, 109%) in all the experimental group was more decreased than that of experimental group I, II on day 12. But the expression of bFGF (109%) and VEGF (127%), and PL1 (105%) in each experimental group III was more increased than that of control group (100%). These experiments suggest that trimix extracts of Mylabris phalerata pall., Arisaematis Rhizoma and Pinelliae Rhizoma Ternata may stimulate the topical hair growth activity and its experimental group I can be useful for treatment of alopecia areata.
