Purpose : This study investigated the effects of osteoarthritis therapy using images and histological diagnosis after microcurrents were applied to osteoarthritic rats. Methods : Osteoarthritis was induced with a mixture of 2% carrageenan and 2% kaolin. The mixture (0.1 $m{\ell}$) was injected into the knee joints of rats. Osteoarthritis with articulation received microcurrent stimulation for four weeks (15 min/day, 5 days/week): treated with pulsation frequency of 5 pps and a stimulation intensity of 25 ${\mu}A$. Results : Osteoarthritis of the control group constantly changed. The group with a stimulation intensity of 25 ${\mu}A$ applied to the surface of the articular cartilage experienced near normal recovery according to image diagnosis. The result of histological and immunohistochemistry inspection confirms that microcurrent stimulation had a positive effect on the treatment of osteoarthritis. Conclusion : The differences among images and histological diagnoses show that steoarthritis will experience constant progression from stimulation.

The histological changes of gill, liver, spleen and muscle, and respiration and blood variables and liver glycogen content were examined in black seabream, Acanthopagrus schlegeli. Fish were exposed to a high level of total ammonia nitrogen (10.4 mg/l) and recovered from exposure $(0.4{\pm}0.2mg/l)$ in a closed recirculating seawater system. In the process of exposure, mortality was $9\%$, and hyperplasia, necrosis or inflammation appeared in all tissues except for muscle. Oxygen consumption was decreased by $49\%$, and red blood cell (RBC) number, hematocrit and hemoglobin concentration were significantly decreased, while plasma glucose contents, activities of glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) and glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) increased. Liver glycogen content significantly increased from $6.6\%\;to\;10.4\%$. A large amount of hemosiderin was observed in the splenic tissue. During the recovery period, RBC number, hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, GOT and GPT activities were returned to the normal status. Histological status of liver tissue was returned to the normal, but liver glycogen content was not recovered. During the recovery period, spleen melanin-macrophages temporarily increased, but subsequently decreased to the normal status.

목 적: 소아 H. pylori 위염에서 균 박멸 후의 조직학적 변화에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이며 치료전의 조직소견과 균 박멸과의 관련성 또한 잘 밝혀져 있지 않다. 이에 저자들은 H. pylori 위염 소아들을 대상으로 치료 전후의 내시경 및 조직소견을 분석하여 균 박멸로 초래되는 위염의 내시경적, 조직학적 변화 및 균 박멸의 성공에 영향을 주는 치료 전 조직소견들을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 95년 6월부터 99년 5월까지 만성 복통으로 내원하여 치료 전후 내시경 생검을 시행받은 소아들 중 조직 검사상 균이 관찰되면서 urease 검사가 양성인 만성위염 소아 42명을 대상으로 하였다. 박멸요법 후 4주 이후에 추적 내시경 검사를 시행하여 위 두 가지 검사 및 배양 검사가 모두 음성인 경우를 균 박멸로 판정하였고, 조직 소견상 위전정부의 균밀도 및 염증 소견들을 최근의 시드니 위염분류법에 따라 0, 1, 2, 3으로 등급화하여 분석하였다. 또한 OAC로 치료받은 32명의 소아들을 박멸에 성공한 군과 실패한 군으로 나누어 각각의 경우 시드니 위염분류법에 따른 치료 전 조직 소견에 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 결 과: 1) 균이 박멸된 소아들(27례)의 경우 결절성 위염은 치료 전 89%에서 치료 후 63%로 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.05). 조직 소견상 호중구 침윤등급은 평균 2.06에서 0.24로 현저하게 감소하였고(p<0.01), 만성염증세포 침윤등급은 평균 2.61에서 1.89로 유의하게 감소하였으나(p<0.05) 완전히 호전된 예는 없었다. 림프여포는 48%에서 15%로 유의하게 감소하였고(p<0.05), 점막 상피손상은 치료 후 모두 소실되었다. 균박멸에 실패한 소아들(15례)의 경우는 치료 전후 결절성 위염의 빈도, 조직 소견상 호중구 및 만성염증세포 침윤등급, 림프여포의 빈도에 유의한 변화가 없었다. 2) OAC 세 약제 치료 후 성공적으로 균이 박멸된 소아들(18례)과 균 박멸에 실패한 소아들(14례)의 치료전 내시경 소견과 조직소견을 비교하였을 때 결절성 위염의 빈도, 호중구 및 만성 염증세포침윤등급, 림프 여포 및 상피손상의 빈도에 모두 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 균밀도는 균박멸에 실패한 소아들에서 더 높은 경향을 보였다(p=0.072). 결 론: 소아 H. pylori 위염에서 균박멸 치료 4주 이후 호중구 침윤은 현저한 감소를 보이며, 만성염증세포 침윤정도, 림프여포와 내시경상 결절성 위염도 의미 있는 호전을 보인다. 시드니 위염분류법에 따른 치료 전의 조직학적인 등급 중 균밀도는 높을수록 균박멸이 낮은 경향이 있어서 치료의 성공여부를 예측하는 데 이용될 수 있는 가능성이 있다.

Objectives: Although intraoral balancing appliance therapy has been used effective to several diseases, verification studies through cerebral diseases are poorly reported so far. Thus we investigated the effect of tooth-cut induced dental malocclusion against mouse model of ischemic stroke. Methods: Tooth-cut and 90 min middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) were loaded to C57BL/6 male mice, and total infarct area, neurological deficit scores (NDS), histological change of hippocampal region were observed. Production levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in cerebral tissue were also measured. Results: The longer the tooth-cut period, the greater the area of cerebral infarction caused by MCAO, and NDS began to increase as the tooth was cut, and the results were more negative when MCAO was loaded. Histological change of hippocampal cells was significant when tooth-cut was maintained for 7 days. Those damages were thought to depend on the generation of ROS and iNOS in brain tissue. Conclusions: Since tooth-cut increased total area of cerebral infarction due to MCAO in mice, it is able to be confirmed that anomaly of the temporomandibular occlusion can affect neurological diseases.

In order to study the differentiation of the epithelial cells during the development of fetal rat lung tissue, histological changeB in organotypic culture and in vivo were examined. Light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to analvre the histological change in rat lung from the 15th nary of gestation to the 111th nary after birth. In organotypic culture system, the pulmonary epithelial cell differentiation was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The results obtained from this study were as follows. 1. During deveiopment of lung, the glandular stage lasted from the Isth day to the lsth naut of gestation; the canalicular stage from the 17th nay to the 19th naut of gestation; the saccuiar stage from 20th nary to the birth. Alveolar stage was observed at the 3rd nary of postnatal rat lung. 2. In organotvpic culture of fetal rat lung cells organized alveolar-like structures resembling those of in uiuo state were observed on the gelatin matrix. In contrast with in vivo state, fetal lung cells formed group of type ll pneumocytes predominently along the contours of the matrix. These cells have large apical surface, short microvilli and secreted materials which may be sunactant. These results suggested that an orsanotypic culture retaining epithelial- -mesenchvmal relationships is appropriate culture model to study the pulmonary epithelial cell (especially type ll pneumocvte) differentation.

The present study was performed to determine the effect of cold stress on myocardium of aging rat. Control groups, which aged 6, 12 and 24 months, were compared with age-matched experimental groups that were exposed to moderate cold stress for a hours daily in a week at laboratory cold room $(4{\pm}1^{\circ}C)$. The histological, histochemical and ultrastructural changes of myocardium were observed. The results were summarized as follow: 1. Age-dependent histological change of control groups was observed the formation of contraction band in 24months aged group. The experimental groups submitted to cold stress showed a similar change pattern as seen in control groups. However, the degree of change in the experimental groups was significantly larger than that of control groups. In the 34 months aged group the formation of hypercontraction band was observed. 2. Regarding age-dependent histochemical changes of control groups, we observed the increase activities of PAS and Masson's trichrome. In experimental groups the activities of PAS and Masson's trichrome were also increased with age. Compare with control group, the activities of PAS was increased but the activities of Masson's trichrome was decreased. 3. Age-dependent ultrastructural changes on vacuolization, lysosome were observed. In control groups the structural changes occur at 12 months. The accumulation of lipofuscin, contraction band, hypercontraction band and a component of connective tissue were observed in 24 months. However, the degree of change in the experimental groups was significantly larger than that of control groups. In contract, the myelin body in intercalated discs was observed in 24 months of experimental groups.

In a previous study by Kim et al. (2000), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) has been demonstrated to be effective against algae that cause red tides. To secure the environmental safely of the chemical in practical use, effect of NaOCl, at concentrations required for algicidal activity, on the histology of rockfish and little neck clam was examined. When the animals were exposed to NaOCl at concentrations of 0.5 or 2ppm for 1 hr, there was no exposure-associated histological change in either animal. As the experimental exposure condition was set in consideration of the use, our results provide safety information necessary for practical application to marine fields.

The toxicity of purified ricln from Ricinus communis to rats was examined by histological and histochemical methods. Sprague-Dawley rats were injected intraperitoneally with 75$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg body weight of ricin and were sacrified at itntervals of 6, 24, 48 and 120 hours after injectoon. The major morphological changes, such as cloudy swelling, hydropic degeneration, necrosis, fatty change, blood congestion, increase of Kupffer cells in number and extension of sinusoids, were obvious in the liver of experimental group. These morphological changes of hepatic cells were mainly observed in both the periportal and midlobular region of hepatic lobule. The extension of sinusoids was obvious in the controlobular region. And glycogen dlstrlbution of hepatic cells tended to decrease in the same region showing morphlogical changes as compared with the control group.
