Structural differentiation of the connective stalk in giant duckweed, Spirodela polyrhiza, was examined to reveal the anatomical and ultrastructural characteristics within reduced shoot. The study focuses primarily on structural features of the connective stalk (CT), which connect offspring to their mother fronds. Photoautotrophic offspring fronds remained connected by stalks to mother fronds in the reproductive pockets until separation. The CT originated from the meristematic region of the abaxial frond and joined the fronds laterally with two abscission layers. The most notable features of the CT were polymorphic mitochondria, random occurrences of fibrillar structures in intercellular spaces, and great variability in cell wall thickness. Vascular tissues in CTs were highly reduced, demonstrating only a central vascular strand. Grana with 2 to 4 thylakoids and starch grains were found in the chloroplasts. A chlorophyll assay indicated high chlorophyll concentrations in daughter fronds and low concentrations in CTs. The frond and CT, while physically connected to each other, functioned independently. Despite great reduction in S. polyrhiza, the CT has proven to be very efficient for separating offspring from the mother frond, which lends to its capacity for rapid vegetative reproduction. The ultrastructural aspects of CTs in S. polyrhiza were characterized for the first time in this study.

A morphological andk histochimical study on the amterior tintacular antenna of Korean sulg, Incilaria fruhstorferi was conducted under the light microscopic observations. The histological sturctures of the antenna were apparently divided into three parts such as the epithelium, the connective tissues and the muscular layers. The cells forming the antenna were classified into several types on the basis of their morphological and histochemical characteristics. The simple columnar epithelium cotering the whole antenna was composed of supporting cells, sensory neurons and type-a clear cells. The connective tissue was consisted of dispersed large cells, type-b clear cells and 7 types of secretory cills such as type-A, type-B, type-F, thpe-G, type-H, type-J and type-K. The large cells found in the form of group situated only in the stalk of the antenna. The large cells possessed relatively small nuclei as compared with their cytoplasm. The cytoplasm positively reacted upon alcian blue, and the nucleus was PASpositive. The type-a and type-b clear cells which were irregular in shape showed no evident reaction against various stains employed in the present study. The secrtory cells were observed mainly in the connective tissues and in the muscular layers. Histochemical components of the type-A, type-B and K were identified as acid mucopolysaccharides and those of type-F and H were neutral mucopolysaccharides. The muscular layders supporting the epithelium possessed the type-B and F secretory cells which were also observed in the connective tissues.

Marginal tissue recession makes problems like esthetics, root caries, hypersensitivity and plaque accumulation. Request for root coverage is higer than ever, especially esthetic problems involved. So techniques for root coverage hav been developed. There are some kinds of surgical techniques using soft tissue for root coverage. For example, free gingival graft, kinds of pedicle flap, subepithelial connective tissue graft(SCTG), and so on. Subepithelial connective tissue graft has many advantage for root coverage, that is less pain on donor site, good blood supply for graft, and more esthetic result. For this reaseon, this case report was performed to evaluate the effect of root coverage using subepithelial connective tissue graft. Three patients has Miller's class I marginal tissue recession and one patients has Miller's class III marginal tissue recession. The following period is 36.5 month on average. The results are as follows: 1. Root coverage of 100% was obtained in 5 of 6 defects, and 80% was obtained in 1 of 6 defects, The mean root coverage was 96,6% in six cases on 4 patients. 2. The mean root coverage was 3.83mm and mean recession depth decreased from 4mm to 0.16mm. 3. The mean width of clinical attached gingiva increased from 1.5mm to 4mm. The mean width of gained attached gingiva after surgery was 2.5mm. 4. The mean follow up period was 36.5 months. The longest follow up period was 50 months and the shortest follow up period was 22 months. 5. The result that obtained by surgery was stable during follow up period. Within the above results, root coverage with SCTG is an effective procedure to cover marginal tissue recession defect with long term stability.

The purpose of this study was to observe early connective tissue attachment on dentin surface treated with citric acid, tetracycline, and fibrin sealants and compare their conditioning effects on dentin surface. Experimental dentin blocks conditioned with citric acid, tetracycline or fibrin sealant, and only root planned control block were surgically implanted in the pouch under buccal mucoperiosteal flaps of left mandible, right maxilla, left maxilla, right mandible of 18 male rabbits. Rabbits were sacrificed after 1 and 6 hours, 1, 3, 7 and 14 days after implantation and then specimens including dentin block and surrounding soft tissue were obtained, and prepared for light and transmission electron microscopic examination. 1 and 6 hours after dentin block implantation, there was plasma proteins adsorption followed by fibrin clot formation and no differences among specimens. At the 1-day observation interval, delicate fibrin network was observed in the all groups, and there were proliferative fibroblasts, angiogenesis and macrophage in the all 3-day specimens. Cellular aggregates and abundant connective tissue adhered dentin surface and tetracycline or citric acid treated group showed much proliferative fibroblast and abundant collagen fibers at 1 week. But at 2 week, citric acid treated group showed much proliferative fibroblast and abundant collagen fibers. These observations suggested that new connective tissue attachment to dentin was initiated by the adsorption of plasma proteins to the dentin surface and followed by fibrin clot formation. Tetracycline and citric acid seemed to make dentin surface more biologically favorable for the connective tissue attachment.

The authors administered KCN, NaF,AS2O3 orally to rabbits and caused acute and chronic poisoning, then studied the teeth, jaw bones, and other oral tissues histopathologically. The results were as follows : 1. There was no significant difference between acute poisoned group by NaF and control group. But, vasodilatation in the connective tissues, esepcially marginal area of jaw bone, atrophy and destrution of glandualr cells was observed. 2. Chronic poisoned group by NaF showed degeneration and thicking of subcutanece fibrosis ective tissues, atrophy and degeneration of subcutaneous connective tissues, atrophy and degeneration of muscle fibers, vasodilation of subcutaneous in bone cavities(lacunae), and degeneration of odotlblasts in pulp tissue. 3. Acute poisoned group by KCN showed almost similar appearances as control group, and chronic poisoned group showed hyperplasia of baal layer in epitheilium, degeneration of subcutaneous connective tissues, vasodilation and huperemia, severe hemorrhage of marginal area of jaw bone. hyperplasia of salivary gland ducts, but normal arrangement of muscle fibers and narrow bone carity(lacunae) due to active osteoblastic action, osteodentin were observed. 4. Acute poisoned group by AS2O3 showed degeneration of basal cell, atrophy of blood vessels in palatal muscosa. Chronic poisoned group showed irregular cell arrangement and degeneration, reduction of capillaries in palatal mucosa. Osteoclasts in jaw bone were observed. 5. In Masson's Trichrome and Van Gieson Staining, chronic poisoned group by NaF showed thicking and loosening of subcutaneous connective tissues. Hyperplasia of intermuscular connective tissue was observed in chronic poisoning by KCN and NaF. In PAS staining, negative reation in outer layer of palatalmucosa, positive reaction in keratin layer and mild reaction of basal layer in palate and tongue mucosa was observed.

Background: Detection of antibodies to extractable nuclear antigens (ENAs) is needed for the diagnosis in systemic autoimmune diseases. In this study, we compared three reagents using line immunoblot assay (LIA) or multiplex bead immunoassay for detecting the anti-ENAs. Methods: A total of 89 sera were tested by 3 different assays: EUROASSAY Anti-ENA Profile (Euroimmune, Germany), Polycheck Autoimmune Test (Biocheck GmbH, Germany), and $FIDIS^{TM}$ Connective Profile (Biomedical Diagnostics, France). The following individual ENAs were investigated: Sm, SS-A (Ro), SS-B (La), Scl-70, Jo-1 and RNP. We reviewed medical records to investigate the discrepant results among three methods. Results: Overall percent agreements were 96.1% between EUROASSAY Anti-ENA Profile and $FIDIS^{TM}$ Connective profile; 90.4% between EUROASSAY Anti-ENA Profile and Polycheck Autoimmune Test using the manufacturers' cutoff; 96.4% between EUROASSAY Anti-ENA Profile and Polycheck Autoimmune Test using a upward cutoff; 90.4% between $FIDIS^{TM}$ Connective profile and Polycheck Autoimmune Test the manufacturers' cutoff; and 96.4% between $FIDIS^{TM}$ Connective profile and Polycheck Autoimmune Test a upward cutoff. Conclusions: The three assays showed excellent agreement with each other. With appropriate cutoff, the all three assays for six of the anti-ENA tests investigated in this study can be used in clinical laboratories for detecting the anti-ENAs.

This paper aims at the construction of the system that outputs subjective and consistent linguistic expressions of some pictures. Input to this system is information on some pictures and this system outputs explanations of basic contents of pictures and consistent connective relationships between pictures. The present system consists of the explaining part of basic contents and the explaining part of connective relationship. The former part explains behaviors and feelings of objects drawn in pictures. The latter one explains the matters not drawn in pictures by guessing them from pictures. This part considers consistency of connective relationships. From the viewpoint that the interpretation of pictures is dependent on individual subjectivity, the present system has individual database for individual subjectivity. In order to confirm the usefulness of the present approach, simulation experiments are performed. In the experiments the individual databases of subjects are constructed and the outputs of the system are evaluated. Experiment results show that good evaluation is obtained.

The author studied the effects of some dental gold alloys and dental nonprecious metals on muscle. The metal specimens were cast in the size of $1.0mm.{\times}5.0mm.{\times}3.0mm.$ and implanted in the gluteus maximus musculus of the two dogs. The subjects were sacrificed at 3 weeks and 5 weeks respectively after implantation. The tissue was examined his to-pathologically. The findings were as follows. 1. The more the alloy contains gold, the less the tissue response to the alloy and the less the connective tissue layer around the specimens. 2. The recovery of connective tissue layer in gold specimens was markedly observed. 3. There were very thick connective layers around nonprecious specimens.

Interstitial lung diseases are heterogeneous entities with diverse clinical presentations. Among them, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease are specific categories that pulmonologists are most likely to encounter in the clinical field. Despite the accumulated data from extensive clinical trial and observations, we continue to have many issues which need to be resolved in this field. In this update, we present the review of several articles regarding the clinical presentation, prognosis and treatment of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease.
