The present study investigated the anti-proliferative and chemosensitizing effects of Crinum asiaticum var. japonicum against multi-drug resistant (MDR) cancer cells. The 80% methanol extract, chloroform ($CHCl_3$) fraction and butanol (BuOH) fraction of C. asiaticum inhibited the growth of mitoxantrone (MX) resistant HL-60 (HL-60/MX2) cells. When HL-60/MX2 cells were treated with the $CHCl_3$ and BuOH fractions, DNA ladder and sub-G1 hypodiploid cells were observed. Furthermore, the fractions reduced BcI-2 mRNA levels, whereas Bax mRNA levels were increased. These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of C. asiaticum on the growth of the HL-60/MX2 cells might arise from the induction of apoptosis. Treatment of HL-60/MX2 cells with the fractions markedly decreased the mRNA levels of the multi-drug resistance protein-1 and breast cancer resistance protein. The $CHCl_3$ fraction and hexane fraction increased MX accumulation in HL-60/MX2 cells. These results imply that the $CHCl_3$ fraction of C. asiaticum plays a pivotal role as a chemosensitizer. We suggest that components of C. asiaticum might have a therapeutic potential for the treatment of MDR leukemia.

Ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) injury of the rat testis causes germ cell death and infiltration of inflammatory cells. To investigate the mechanism of germ cell death in torsion of the rat testis, apoptosis and macrophage activation were studied using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling(TUNEL) method and immunohistochemistry in the testes of Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to 1.5 h of ischemia, followed by 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 96 h of reperfusion. Apoptotic, TUNEL-positive cells were found at the base of the seminiferous epithelia after I/R. TUNEL-positive cells were significantly increased 6 h after repair of the torsion, and there was a significant peak in apoptosis 24 h after reperfusion, as compared with normal or sham-operated controls. In contrast, histological evidence of germ cell necrosis in the seminiferous tubules was first visible 24 h after reperfusion. In the testis of sham-operated rats, ED2-positive resident macrophages were found diffusely in the interstitial space, while ED1-positive monocyte-like macrophages were rarely found. After I/R, ED1-positive cells were significantly increased beginning 12 h after reperfusion, while ED2-positive immunoreactivity did not change during the experimental period. Together, the results of this study confirmed that increased numbers of ED1-positive macrophages, but not resident ED2-positive macrophages, infiltrated the interstitial space surrounding damaged tubules and induced germcell death.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of vitamin E on the prevention and treatment of Babesia gibsoni. Fifteen mongrel dogs, uninfected with Babesia spp, were assigned to three groups according to vitamin E(${\alpha}-tocopherol$) concentrations in the RBC. The concentrations in each of the three groups were, respectively : ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ in RBC less than $30{\mu}g/{\mu}l$(Group I), $30{\mu}g/{\mu}l{\sim}60{\mu}g/{\mu}l$(Group II), more than $60{\mu}g/{\mu}l$(Group III). Artificial infection was accomplished by injecting $2{\times}10^7{\sim}2{\times}10^8$ erythrocyte of Babesia gibsoni-infected dog into the cephalic vein. We investigated the clinical signs, vitamin E concentrations in RBC and serum, Vitamin A concentrations in serum, hematological values, white blood cell(WBC) viability and RBC membrane osmotic fragility after infection of Babesia gibsoni for a period of 20 days at 5 day intervals. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. After infection by Babesia gibsoni, clinical examination revealed depression, anorexia, pale mucous membranes, dark brown urine and diarrhea in proportion as time went on. After 10 days of infection, one dog each of Groups I, II and III revealed depression and anorexia. Two dogs in Group I and one dog each of Groups II and III showed dark brown urine after 15 days. Diarrhea was observed in one dog in each of the 3 groups after 20 days of infection. 2. After 5 days of infection, two dogs in each of Groups I, II and III showed Babesia gibsoni in RBC of blood smear stained with Giemsa. At the 15th day after infection with Babesia gibsoni, they were observed in all experimental animals. After both 5 days and 10 days of infection, the rate of Babesia gibsoni parasitized RBC(permillage, ‰) was 1‰, and increased as time went on. 3. After 5 days of infection by Babesia gibsoni, Group I, which had the lowest vitamin E concentration, showed significantly decreased RBC and PCV levels(p < 0.01). Group II and group III also showed significantly decreased RBC and PCV levels after 15 days of infection(p < 0.05). Particularly after 10 days of infection, Group I showed lower values in RBC and PCV levels compared to Groups II and III. WBC, RBC, fibrinogen and total protein levels between the groups did not differ during experimental periods. 4. According to the WBC differential counts, the ratios of neutrophil to lymphocyte showed a tendency to be slightly higher in Group III (more than $60{\mu}g/{\mu}l$) than in Groups I and II. 5. WBC viability did not differ between the groups. 6. RBC membrane osmotic fragility did not differ between the groups.

Multiplex PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect and differentiate between porcine circovirus (PCV) type-I and the PCV associated with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). Unique DNA product to PCV type-II was confirmed the some organs including lymph nodes, tonsil and spleen from eight pigs in Jeju by multiplex PCR. In this study, the samples were tested by a multiplex PCR assay to determine the type of PCV in each case; all cases were PCV type-II positive. PCV type-II was identified not only in typical PMWS cases, but also in field cases submitted with various clinical histories, some of which were not suggestive of PMWS. Immunohistochemically PCV type-II antigen was detected in macrophage-like cells in the tonsil, liver, lymph nodes and spleen, while some hepatocytes and renal tubular epithelial cells were also positive to the virus. This study suggested that PCV type-II is one of the causative agents of PMWS as well as the major type of PCV in the affected pigs in Jeju.

A total of 514 birds were used to investigate the influence of body weight and shank length at hatch on the body weights at various ages in growing pheasant. Statistical model included the terms of hatch and sex as fixed effects and the two covariates of body weight and shank length at hatch. In this model, the effects of hatch and sex on the body weights at the age of 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 wk, and the average daily gains from hatch to 8 wk and from 8 to 16 wk of age were highly significant(P<0.01). All the regression coefficients of body weights and average daily gains on the body weight at hatch were also significant(P<0.01). Their estimates were 3.05.7.21. 13.89, 15.18 and 15.33 for the body weights at 4. 8, 12, 16 and 20 wk of age ; 0.111 and 0.142 for the average daily gains from hatch to 8 wk, and from 8 to 16 wk of age, respectively. On the shank length, only the regression coefficients of the body weights at 4 and 8 wk of age and the average daily gains from hatch to 8 wk of age were significant(P<0.01). Results of this study suggest that body weight at hatch do significantly affect the body weights in the growing periods up to' the 20 wk of age, but the shank length at hatch influences the body weights only at early age.1)

제주도 서부 연안역인 한림 정치망어장의 해황특성 (수온 및 염분분포)을 규명하기 위해 1995년과 1996년에 실시한 정선조사의 수온 및 염분자료를 검토$\cdot$분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 제주도 서부연안역중 해안에서 2$\~$3mile 떨어진 외측 (Sta. 1, 2)은 11월부터 익년 5월까지는 제주도 서쪽해역에 출현하는 대마난류수의 주류부가 통과하여 $14^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고수온과 $34.40\%_{\circ}\~34.60\%_{\circ}$의 고염분이 표층부터 저층까지 균질하게 분포하지만 6월부터 10월까지는 제주해역에 저염분수인 중국대륙연안수가 출현하여 표층은 고수은, 저염분수가 되고 중$\cdot$저층은 $11^{\circ}C\~14^{\circ}C$의 저수온, $33.50\%_{\circ}$ 이상의 고염분이 유지되므로 심한 수온 및 염분약층이 나타는데 반해 이 해역은 해쳐 중앙역보다 표층은 수온이 낮고 염분은 높으며 저층은 수온이 높고 염분이 낮은 조석전선역의 수온 및 염분분포가 나타난다. 그러므로 년중 표층수온은 $14^{\circ}C\~23^{\circ}C$ 염분은 $36.60\%_{\circ}\~34.60\%_{\circ}$로 수온의 년교차는 $9^{\circ}C$, 염분의 년교차는 $4.00\%_{\circ}$ 정도로 연안역임에도 불구하고 제주해협 중앙부의 년교차($14^{\circ}C\~20^{\circ}C$, $4.00\%_{\circ}\~10.40\%_{\circ}$)보다 매우 작다. 저층수온은 년중 $14^{\circ}C\~20^{\circ}C$의 범위로 수온 변화폭이 작고 제주해협 서쪽입구에 출현하는 $11^{\circ}C\~13^{\circ}C$의 저온수도 나타나지 않는다. 그러나 저층 염분은 1995년에 $33.60\%_{\circ}\~34.40\%_{\circ}$이지만 1996년의 경우는 6월부터 표$\cdot$저층 모두 현저하게 염분이 저하하여 전층이 $32.00\%_{\circ}$ 이하의 저염분수가 출현하고 있어 이 해역의 동계의 해황은 년별 변화가 적지만 하계에는 중국대륙연안수의 영향, 즉 양자강수의 년별 유출량 변화에 따라 해황의 년별 변화가 심한 해역이 다. 2. 해안에서 2mile 이내의 제주도 서부 연안역은 하계의 경우 조류에 의한 연직혼합으로 표층 저온수, 국지적인 와, 수온, 염분전선 등이 나타나 비교적 복잡한 해황이 출현하며, 특히 비양도 주변 해역의 저층수는 수심변화와 더불어 수온$\cdot$염분이 변해 10m미만의 천소에서 50m의 심소 사이에는 심한 수온$\cdot$염분전선이 형성되고, 월령리와 금릉리 사이에는 고온$\cdot$저염분수인 외측의 표층수가 연안 가까이까지 침입하므로 이 연안에서 비양도를 잇는 선을 중심으로 수온$\cdot$염분전선이 형성된다. 또, 수심 l0m이하의 연안 천소라 할지 라도 저층수는 표층수보다 수온은 $2^{\circ}C\~4^{\circ}C$ 낮고 염분은 $0.02\%_{\circ}\~0.08\%_{\circ}$정도 높다.
