틸라피아는 암수간에 성장차가 커 수컷 종묘만을 생산하여 양식함은 산업적으로 매우 중요시된다. 본 연구는 나일틸라피아의 암컷을 수컷으로 성전환시키기 위한 연구로써 본 종의 초기생식소 분화 및 여러 농도의 호르몬 처리에 의한 성전환율을 구한 후 호르몬이 성장에 미치는 효과를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 나일틸라피아의 초기 생식소는 원생식세포의 점진적인 분열에 의해 부화후 9일째 형성되었으며, 난소와 정소로의 성 분화는 부화후 약 20일부터 조직학적으로 식별되었다. 17$\alpha$-mrthyltestosterone (MT)을 15, 30 및 60ppm의 농도로 10$\~$40일 동안 처리한 후 성전환율을 조사한 결과 모든 실험군에서 $95\%$ 이상의 수컷이 생산되었다. 특히 15ppm-40일, 30ppm-30일과 30ppm-40일 처리군에서는 $100\%$ 수컷이 유도되었다. 호르몬 처리에 의한 성장의 증가는 대조군에 비해 비교적 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, condition factor 역시 크게 나타나 MT는 틸라피아의 성장을 증가시킴은 물론 비만하게 함을 알 수 있었다.

The goal of this study is to investigate the effect and potential of three-dimensional Co-culture of BMSCs (bone marrow stromal Cells) and NP (nucleus pulposus) Cells on the differentiation of BMSCs into NP-like Cells. The NP Cells and BMSCs were isolated and cultured from New Zealand White rabbits. The isolated NP Cells and BMSCs were prepared in different alginate beads. Those two types of beads were separated by a track-etched membrane of $3\;{\mu}m$ pore in a 6-well culture plate. No growth factors were used. In addition to these, NP and BMSC were cultured in the beads independently for control. The number of Cells in Co-culturing system was half of those in two control groups. Proliferation and production of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) were evaluated along with histological observation. The GAG production rate(GAG contents/Cell) of Co-cultured BMSCs were much higher than that of BMSCs cultured alone. The total amounts of GAG produced by BMSCs in Co-culturing system were larger than those produced by BMSCs in control group and were comparable with those produced by NP alone even the number of each Cell was half of BMSCs in Co-culturing system. This study showed the potential of differentiation of BMSCs into NP-like Cells through three-dimensional Co-culture system even without any chemical agents.

We investigated the androgenic effects of $17{\alpha}$-methyltestosterone (MT) on gonadal sex reversal in juvenile red spotted grouper Epinephelus akaara. The fish were immersed in $17{\alpha}$-MT at 1 and 5 mg/L. Treatment method of $17{\alpha}$-MT was once weekly for 4 and 8 weeks. Fish were sampled at 12 months after end of the treatment period in order to histological analysis. At the initiation of an experiment (70 day after hatching), juvenile red spotted grouper have the paired primordial gonads with somatic cells bellow kidney in the posterior portion of the body cavity. Formation of ovarian cavity indicates that the ovarian differentiation beginning at 70 DAH in red spotted grouper. At 12 months after end of the treatment period, control group, $17{\alpha}$-MT 1 mg/L treatment group for 4 and 8 weeks, and $17{\alpha}$-MT 5 mg/L treatment group for 4 weeks were all female. However, sex-changed males without ovarian cavity were observed in the $17{\alpha}$-MT 5 mg/L treatment group for 8 weeks. In grouper, we firstly reported that the red spotted grouper be able to induce the primary males by hormone treatment prior to gonadal sex differentiation.

Objective : Ssangwha-tang is a traditional medicine formula widely prescribed for a decrease of fatigue after an illness in Korea. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Ssangwha-tang fermented by Lactobacillus fermentum (SF) on osteoclast differentiation in vitro and on bone metabolism of an ovariectomized rat in vivo. Methods : Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity and staining were applied to evaluate the formation of osteoclasts. Ovariectomized rats were orally administrated with SF (30 ml/kg/day) for 12 weeks. Serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglyceride, phosphate, calcium levels were determined. Effect of SF on bone loss were studied by histological analysis and the measurement of bone mineral density. Results : SF significantly inhibited tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity and formation of osteoclasts in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by receptor activator for nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$) ligand (RANKL). In addition, SF significantly decreased the level of triglyceride and increased the level of low-density lipoprotein. Moreover, the decrease of trabeculae of the femur was partially prevented in ovariectomized rats administrated with SF. Conclusions : SF treatment could prevent ovariectomy induced bone loss and its effects could be medicated by the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis.

Objective This study is to learn the effects of Hataedock method using Coptidis rhizoma and Glycyrrhiza uralensis mixed extract on inflammatory response in allergic rhinitis-induced obese NC/Nga mice. Materials and Methods The mice were fed with high fat-diet to be obese, and were divided into 3 groups as follows; allergic rhinitis-induced obese mice group with Hataedock method (CGT, n=10), no treatment group (Ctrl), allergic rhinitis elicited obese mice group (ARE). To induce allergic rhinitis, NC/Nga mice of 3 weeks age were sensitized on 7, 8 and 9 weeks by ovalbumin antigen in intraperitoneal space. After 7 days of final sensitization, allergic rhinitis was initially induced in mice through nasal cavities for 5 days. After 1-week, allergic rhinitis was induced again by the same method. Histological examination was used to identify distribution of IL-4, CD40, STAT6, $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$, substance P, MMP-9, NF-${\kappa}B$ p65, iNOS and COX-2. Results Hataedock method significantly reduced IL-4, STAT6 and CD40 response (p<0.05). In CGT, the inhibition of Th2 differentiation decreased inflammatory mediators such as $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$, substance P, MMP-9, NF-${\kappa}B$ p65, iNOS and COX-2 (all p<0.05). The immunological improvement led reduction of respiratory epithelial damage and mucin secretion in goblet cell. Conclusion The results of this study show that the Hataedock method suppresses the expression of allergic rhinitis by decreasing the inflammatory mediators through the regulation of Th2 differentiation even when the inflammation reaction is increased by obesity. Therefore, Hataedock may have potential preventive measure of allergic rhinitis accompanied by obese.

Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a rare embryonic malignant tumor of the liver. Most morphological studies on HB have limited to the histological characteristics and only 3 cases of HB have been described in the cytology literature. We present 2 cases of HB occurring in children aged 1 year and 3 years, respectively. The distinctive cytologic features of fine needle aspiration of HB were clusters of tumor cells showing acinar and trabecular pattern, smaller tumor cells with a high nuclear-cytopalsmic ratio and hyperchromatic nuclei having prominent nucleoli, and the presence of extramedullary hematopoiesis and osteoid material. These features were also found in the cell block and the biopsy specimen, and appeared very useful in the differentiation of HB from hepatocellular carcinoma.

Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is a rare sarcoma with myofibroblastic differentiation. LGMS has a propensity for local recurrence and is associated with a low risk of metastatic spread. A 26-year-old man presented with a 12-month history of a slow growing palpable hard mass in the right parietal scalp. Enhanced CT scan of head showed a $3{\times}4cm$ sized well-defined and heterogeneously enhancing scalp mass. The patient underwent excision of the tumor. The histological and immunohistochemical features were consistent with a LGMS. We performed re-operation for remnant tumor removal after diagnosis. After 14 months of surgery, the patient was well-being state.

Mammary cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm in the bitch. It constitute 40 percent of all tumors in female dogs, which is three times higher than incidence of mammary tumors in humans[2]. Cytological differentiation between benign and malignant canine mammary tumors is difficult, however, an irregular chromatin pattern was reported to be a significant criterion for malignancy[1]. It can be estimated that approximately 30 percent of the surgically removed mammary tumors are malignant[4]. Malignant mammary tumors often have some degree of infiltrative/destructive growth into adjacent tissues and/or invasion of vessels. Malignant mammary tumors often metastasize into local lymph nodes and lungs, and less frequently into other organs[3]. Based on histological and cytological criteria, this case was diagnosed as tubulopapillary carcinoma of the mammary gland. (omitted)

Effects of nonylphenol (NP) on gonadal development and growth of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus were investigated. NP treatment was carried out to fry fish (during 55 to 64 days after hatching) using oral adminstration at nominal NP concentrations of 50, 100 and 150 tig/g BW Gonad before NP treatment was sexually undifferentiated as observed with mostly gonia cells. At 159 days after hatching, ovarian lamella of ovary were filled with oogonia and perinucleolus oocytes. On the other hand, testicular lobules of the testis were occupied by spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids. Histological observation of ovary and testis development was any different between the control and NP treated groups. However, growth was significantly increased in NP treated groups than control groups (P< 0.05). These results considerate that NP has any effect for sex differentiation and gonadal development, but act for early growth in olive flounder.
