Hepatic cirrhosis is an important feature of chronic liver disease. Liver cirrhosis is characterized by hyperaccumulation of fibrous tissue components and is commonly observed in latter or terminal states of chronic hepatic disease. The antifibrotic effects on liver cirrhosis by oriental herbs extraction material were examined in bile duct ligated rats. Oriental herbs extraction (0.99 mg/kg rat weight/day) was administrated to cirrohotic rats for 4 weeks. Liver collagen content of bile duct ligated rats was significantly increased. And liver histology showed collagen fiber deposition was increased as well as the normal architecture was lost with large zone of necrosis being observed. Herbs extraction administrated rats showed significantly decreased liver collagen content, accumulation of collagen fiber in histological analysis, and biochemical markers of hepatic diseases. Those results demonstrate the usefulness of herbs extraction materials as an antifibrotic agent for liver cirrhosis.

Although collagen is still considered to be a poor immunogen, animals can produce antibodies to a number of different sites in the collagen molecule. In type I collagen, three classes of antigenic determinants have been described those are recogrlized as different degrees in different species. These are essentially composed of helical, conformation-dependent antigenic determinants and terminal, nonhelical antigenic determinants, and finally central antigenic determinants exposed only after denaturation of the collagen molecule. To utilize collagen as implantable biomateriall human e61bryonic collagen, ten immunological to body, was purified from human umbilical cords and found to contain [$\alpha$1(I)]$_2$. [$\alpha$2(I). Each step of purification were observed by polarized light microscope and analyzed through SDS-PAGE. The conclusious are follows; 1 . The purified collagen revealed gradual fiber indenties on each step of purification by polarized microscope. 2. The structual changes of extracted collagen as removed telopeptide were confirmed by SDS-PAGE.

The study was designed to analyse the reorganization of the rabbit TMJ meniscus which was anteriorly displaced by surgery. The author compared the anteriorly displaced groups with control group. After surgical opening of the left rabbit TMJ space, cut the posterior attachment of the meniscus, and pushed it under the undercut area of the condyle head. Experimental groups were sacrificed by 1, 2, 4, 8 weeks after surgery. The samples were analysed with light microscope under T-B stain and electron microscope. The results were as follows: 1) The rabbit TMJ meniscus consisted of thick anterior and posterior band running different way, and comparative thin intermediate band runining antero-posteriorly. 2) Round oval shape chondrocyte-like cells were imbeded between the collagen fiber bundles and composed of proteoglycan granules, that showed metachromasia with toluidine blue, around the cell matrix. 3) Type II collagen fiber bundles in experimental group occured degenerative changes in organic patterns at 8 weeks, but those of type I collagen fiber bundles sustained longer, 4) The typical fibrocartilage of the rabbit TMJ meniscus was changed into fibrotic mode in process of time and showed the degenerative changes, which contained hyperplasia, calcification, resorption and hyalinization in the connective tissue. 5) The hyperplastic change of the synovial membrane in 4 week group and transitional change from fibrocyte to chondrocyte in cell type in 8 week group were observed. 6) The diameters of collagen fibers were diminished with the degenerative changes, the shape of the fibers became wavier and more nonorganic in running pattern and fiber bundle spaces widened.

Objectives: This pilot study aimed to establish the interrelationship between collagen and mast cells in periapical granulomas and periapical cysts. Materials and Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted on the paraffin-embedded tissue sections of 68 specimens (34 periapical granulomas and 34 periapical cysts). The specimens were stained with picrosirius to observe collagen fiber birefringence and anti-tryptase antibody to evaluate the mast cell count immunohistochemically. The mean number and birefringence of collagen fibers, as well as the mean number of mast cells (total, granulated, and degranulated), and the mean inflammatory cell density were calculated. The data obtained were analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test, Mann Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation test (p < 0.05). Results: The mean number of thick collagen fibers was higher in periapical cysts, while that of thin fibers was higher in granulomas (p = 0.00). Cysts emitted orange-yellow to red birefringence, whereas periapical granulomas had predominantly green fibers (p = 0.00). The mean inflammatory cell density was comparable in all groups (p = 0.129). The number of total, degranulated, and granulated mast cells exhibited significant results (p = 0.00) in both groups. Thick cyst fibers showed significant inverse correlations with inflammation and degranulated mast cells (p = 0.041, 0.04 respectively). Conclusions: Mast cells and inflammatory cells influenced the nature of collagen fiber formation and its birefringence. This finding may assist in the prediction of the nature, pathogenesis, and biological behavior of periapical lesions.

Purpose: This study was to determine the effects of surgical induction of anterior disc displacement (ADD) on the distribution of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and collagen fiber arrangement in the rabbit temporomandibular joint (TMJ) tissues including articular cartilage of condyle, disc, retrodiscal tissue, and articular eminence. Methods: We used van Gieson staining and Alcian blue critical electrolyte concentration (CEC) method to observe change of collagen fibers on disc and to measure GAG up to 10 weeks in TMJ tissues after surgical induction of ADD on 25 rabbits. Results: CEC measurements for GAG showed 0.3 M, 0.4 M, 0.6 M, and 0.8 M at 1 week, 2 weeks, 3, 4, and 8 weeks, 10 weeks, respectively. This result indicated that GAGs shifted to highly sulphated ones as time passed. Disruption of collagen fiber arrangement in the disk occurred at 10 days and aggravated at 3 weeks. Conclusion: Our study showed degenerative osteoarthritis changes in rabbit TMJ following surgical induction of ADD up to 10-week period.

To investigate the relationship between muscle fiber characteristics and meat quality traits by age of Korean native black goat (KNBG), four muscles (longissimus dorsi, LD; psoas major, PM; semimembranosus, SM; gluteus medius, GM) were obtained from five adult goat (AG; 18 months old) and five young goat (YG; 9 months old). PM muscle had the highest fiber number percentage (FNP) and fiber area percentage (FAP) of type I, followed by SM, GM, and LD muscles. FNP and FAP of type IIB were significantly (p<0.001) higher in AG than those in YG. YG had higher L^* values but lower b^* values than AG. The highest L^* and b^* values were observed in LD muscle (p<0.001). Age and muscle type had detrimental (p<0.001) effect on shear force and collagen content for all muscle in AG as compared to YG. YG had significantly (p<0.001) higher myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI) than AG for all four muscles. These results suggest that muscle fiber compositions of different muscle types of KNBG depend on age, resulting in variations of meat color, MFI, collagen content, and shear force.

목적 : 각막실질 내 다발 구조로 이루어진 콜라겐섬유의 크기와 규칙적인 배열은 투명성과 매우 밀접한 상관성을 가지고 있다. 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 배열구조 및 콜라겐섬유층 두께에 따른 광투과율의 변화를 확인하고자 하였다. 방법 : 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어인 OptiFDTD로 각막실질 내 콜라겐섬유를 정육각형, 육각형, 사각형 및 자유형으로 각각 배열하였고 이에 따른 광투과율을 분석하였다. 사각형 배열에 대하여 시뮬레이션 공간상에 있는 콜라겐섬유의 개수가 동일할 때 밀도변화에 따른 광투과율을 확인하고 콜라겐섬유의 개수와 밀도가 변화할 때 광투과율을 조사하였다. 결과 : 콜라겐섬유의 개수가 동일할 때 사각형, 정육각형, 자유형 및 육각형의 배열구조 순서로 밀도가 작아지고, 섬유층의 두께가 두꺼워진다. 배열구조를 변화시켜 광투과율을 측정한 결과 동일한 위치의 검출기에서 측정된 광투과율은 배열구조에 관계없이 거의 유사하였다. 검출기 D0, D1, D2 및 D3에서 각각 사각형, 육각형과 사각형, 정육각형 및 정육각형 배열구조에서 최대투과율로 나타났으며, 육각형, 자유형, 육각형과 사각형 및 사각형 배열구조에서 최소 투과율로 나타났다. 하지만, 최대 투과율과 최소 투과율의 차이는 1% 이내로 거의 유사하였다. 콜라겐섬유의 개수가 동일할 때 사각형 배열구조에서 밀도변화에 따른 광투과율은 섬유층 두께가 증가할수록 광투과율은 감소하였다. 또한, 두께가 증가하면서 콜라겐섬유의 개수가 감소하였을 때 광투과율이 더 많이 감소하였다. 결론 : 콜라겐 배열구조가 변화하여도 광투과율은 배열구조와 관계없이 거의 유사하게 나타났다. 하지만, 배열구조의 변화에 따라 콜라겐섬유층의 두께가 변화하였고, 두께가 증가할수록 광투과율이 감소하였다. 즉, 광투과율은 배열구조보다는 콜라겐섬유층의 두께와 더 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

Diabetes mellitus revealed a chronic disorder of lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolism characterized by insulin deficiency, and a striking tendency toward development of atherosclerosis, microangiopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and recently cardiomyopathy etc. The mechanism of heart failure in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy is not clear but diabetic cardiomyopathy usually occurs in persons with long standing diabetes. After diabetes induced in made Sprague- Dawley strain rats by injection of streptozotocin(60mg/kg), cardiac tissue with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome stain was examined at 3 days, 1, 2, 4, 6 weeks later under light microscope. The results were obtained as follows : 1. In H&E stain of control group, myocardiac cells were shorter than skeletal muscle cell, which was branched out and connected each other at terminal with striation, intercalated disk and nucleus at center of cell. 2. In MT stain of control group, a few of collagen fibrile were seen at periva scular interstium, but wasn't seen between skeletal muscle fiber, and cardiac muscle was seen in various size. 3. In MT stain of experimental group, increased collagen fiber deposition at perivascular interstiums were seen periodically. 4. In MT stain of experimental group, increased collagen fiber deposition at interstitial matrix between perimyocardiac cells were seen at 3 day, 4 weeks and 6 weeks after DM induction. 5. In H&E stain of experimental group, partial degeneration of myocardiac cells was seen after 4 weeks of DM induction. From above results, streptozotocin induced diabetes mellitus increased collagen around perivascular and between intercellular matrix in heart.
