Background: Lymph node and distant metastases are known as the prognostic factor in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Clinical parameters are needed to predict metastases preoperatively. The aim of this study was to assess clinical predictive factors for lymph node and distant metastases. Materials and Methods: We collected RCC data from January 1995 until December 2015 at Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital in Jakarta. We only reviewed data that had renal cell carcinoma histopathology by operation or biopsy. Clinical information such as patient age, gender, hemoglobin (Hb), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and tumor size (clinical T stage) were reviewed and analyzed by Chi-squre and logistic regression to establish clinical predictive value. Results: A total of 102 patients were reviewed. There were 32 (31.4%) with lymph node metastases and 27 (26.5%) with distant metastases. Age, Hb and clinical T staging were associated with nodal metastases. However, only Hb and clinical T staging were found to be associated with distant metastases. By logistic regression, we found T3-4 in clinical T-stage to be the only predictor of nodal metastases (OR 5.14; 1.87 - 14.09) and distant metastases (OR 3.42; 1.27 - .9.23). Conclusions: Clinical T-stages of T3 and T4 according to The AJCC TNM classification could be used as independent clinical predictive factors for lymph node or distant metastases in patients with RCC.

A total of 109 heads of horses and ponies from eight horseback riding clubs nearby Central Taiwan were investigated to evaluate the blood parameters and the biochemical compositions of serum for the documentation of clinical pathological diagnosis and exercise physiology. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of resting horses. The sex difference in the blood traits were compared both in horses and in ponies. Results shows that total plasma proteins (PP) and hematocrit (PCV) were found higher in male horses than in females (p < 0.05). The sexual effect also exertes a significant influence on the leucocyte (WBC) count, but not on the erythrocyte (RBC) concentration. According to the differential counts of leucocytes, the number of monocytes and lymphocytes was higher in the male pony than that of in male horse. A close relationship Between the erythrocyte sedimention rate (ESR) and the other blood parameters were found especially in PCV, RBC concentration, and plasma protein level. The average ESR observed at 60 minutes were $21.80{\pm}21.87mm$, $39.50{\pm}18.90mm$ and $43.73{\pm}17.89mm$ in stallions, geldings, and mares, respectively. Most of the biochemical components of horse serum detected were distributed in normal ranges, although some of the items show a great variation in such a large sample size.

Hemolytic reaction of normal fresh chicken serum on sheep erythrocytes was studied and the following experimental results were obtained and summarized. 1. Chicken sera, 258 (78%) out of 344 samples showed hemolytic activity on sheep erythrocytes. 2. Distribution of a different hemolytic titer of chicken sera was not dependent to sex and age difference of test chicken. 3. Hemolytic activity of serum component obtained from normal fresh chicken was heat inactivated at $56^{\circ}C$. 30 minutes heating. 4. The most enhanced hemolytic activity of chicken serum on sheep erythrocytes was observed at the incubation temperature of $46^{\circ}C$. 5. The most effective pH for the hemolytic reaction of chicken serum on sheep erythrocytes was observed at 7.0, and pH 6.0 or 8.5 resulted less or no hemolysis. 6. Hemolytic reaction of chicken serum and sheep erythrocytes required Mg⧻ and Ca⧻ ions as, co-factor, and the former was required more compared to the latter. 7. Hemolytic activity of chicken serum was observed in ChC 2, 4 fraction but not in ChC 1, 3, ChC 3, 4, ChC 1, 2, 4 and ChC 1, 2, 3 fractions. 8. In electron micrography, morphological changes of sheep erythrocyte membrane by normal chicken serum was similar to that of immune hemolysis: that was, the hemolytic hole was circular and it was surrounded with a white ring. 9. Electron micrography of morphological changes on sheep erythrocyte membrane indicated that the size of hemolytic hole and white ring were functional to the chicken serum concentration used and reaction time.

갈륨은 갈륨비소와 같은 고속 반도체 제작에 사용되는 금속간 화합물 중 하나이다. 본 연구의 목적은 금붕어(Carassius auratus)에 갈륨을 적용 시 일어나는 혈청의 생화학 변수, 급성독성 및 적혈구 형태의 변화에 대해 알아보고자 한다. $LC_{50}$은 96시간 째 갈륨 농도 9.15 mg/ml로 나타났다. 갈륨을 농도별(2.0, 4.0, 8.0 mg/ml)로 금붕어에 노출시켜 28일 동안 독성실험을 하였다. 독성실험 결과 혈청의 생화학(글루코즈, 혈액요소질소, 크레아티닌, 콜레스테롤 및 중성지질)반응에서 갈륨 미처리 그룹과 다른 결과가 나타났다. 갈륨의 노출에 따른 적혈구의 변형으로 인한 호흡장애를 유발하는 것으로 사료된다. 실험에 사용된 금붕어와의 동일한 크기에 갈륨을 적용할 때 생물학적으로 안전한 농도는 2.0 mg/ml로 사료된다.

This study investigated cytogenetic and hematological and histological characteristics between diploid and spontaneous triploid on Cyprinidae (Crucian carp, Carassius auratus; crucian carp, C. cuvieri and common carp, Cyprinus carpio) in four major rivers of Korea. In our results, DNA contents of triploid Cyprinidae were 50% more than those of diploid Cyprinidae. Also, erythrocyte size of triploid Cyprinidae was 50% larger than those of diploid Cyprinidae. In all sampling rivers, sex ratios of C. auratus were biased to female, and especially, triploid groups of C. auratus were all female groups (p<0.05). In principle, sex ratios of C. cuvieri and common carp were equivalent between male and female.

Cytogenetic analysis was conducted to obtain basic information for chromosome manipulation of starry flounder Platichthys stellatus. Nuclear surface area and volume of erythrocyte were $7.60{\pm}0.93{\mu}m^2$ and $12.80{\pm}1.75{\mu}m^3$, respectively. The haploid DNA content of the species was 0.66 pg/haploid cell which correspond to 93% of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. A karyotype analysis was also carried out with the species using conventional staining and Ag-NOR banding techniques. It was consisted of 48 acrocentric chromosomes and inter-sex or intra-individual polymorphism was not detected in all specimens analyzed. The NOR regions, appearing a terminal position of the short arm of the smallest acrocentric pairs.

The fine structure of the inoculated Theileria sergenti on the splenectomized Korean native cattle was observed to delineate the morphological. characteristics with transmission and scanning electron microscope. The cattle was inoculated with 1.5ml cryopreserved stabilate ($5.63{\times}10^6/{\mu}l$, PE 3%). At peak parasitemia (40%), infected blood was collected, washed and then T sergenti was observed. Scanning electron micrograph of the erythrocytes infected with T sergenti appeared various irregular from involving specific swelling, and abnormal projections like acantocyte, echinocyte and knizocyte. Transmission electron microscopic studies of T sergenti showed that piroplasm possess intracytoplasmic food vacuole, rhoptries and tubule. Merozoite, $0.6{\sim}1.81{\mu}m$ to $0.4{\sim}1.21{\mu}m$ in length, surrounded by 10~15nm thickness of pellicula. which is surrounded by a single unit membrane. Various size of veil which was observed in stroma of erythrocytes infected with T sergenti, located at the proximate part of the merozoite. The merozoite multiplied by means of binary fission so that two and more oval-like merozoites in the stroma of infected erythrocyte could be observed.
