에스트로겐 수용체 알파에 높은 친화성을 갖고 있는 수용체 촉진제인 propyl pyrazole triol (PPT)을 성체 수컷 생쥐에 이틀 간격으로 8일, 16일, 24일 동안 피하주사방법으로 투여하였다. 현미경으로 부속 생식샘인 전립샘과 정낭, 그리고 간의 조직학적 변화를 관찰하였다. 대조군에 비해, PPT 투여군의 체중과 생식샘의 무게는 감소하였지만 간의 무게는 오히려 증가하였다. PPT 투여군에서 전립샘과 정낭의 내강 면적이 축소되었다. PPT 투여군 전립샘의 상피세포 높이는 대조군에 비해 증가하였다. 정낭의 경우, 상피세포의 핵 위쪽 세포질에 있는 분비 소포가 대조군에서는 나타났지만, PPT 군에서는 잘 관찰되지 않았다. 대조군에 비해 PPT 투여군 간의 굴모양혈관 직경이 투여횟수에 누적적으로 147.0%, 198.7%, 223.3% 의 비율로 증가되었다. 이런 결과는 PPT 투여로 인해 생식기관과 간의 조직 구조가 영향을 받으며, 그 조직학적 변화는 투여회수에 따라 더 심하게 나타났다. 결론적으로 이틀에 한번씩 투여한 PPT에 의해서 생식력 변화와 관련 있는 생식기관의 상피세포 높이 변화가 일어났고, 내강의 크기가 위축되었다. 간의 굴모양혈관 직경이 급격하게 확대되었으며, 이 결과는 간의 무게 증가로 이어졌다.

The purpose of this study is to know whether single layer continuous connell suture is an acceptable alternative to simple interrupted approximating suture for end-to-end intestinal anastomosis in dogs. Fourteen mixed-breed dogs weighing 2 to 5 kg were allotted to group treated with simple interrupted approximating suture (Group I) and group treated with single layer continuous Connell suture (Group II), each of 7 dogs. All dogs in each suture pattern were compared with time for total operation ad suture elapsed for intestines to anastomose, clinical signs, changing of pre-and postoperative luminal size, status of feces, adhesion at anastomotic site for 14 days after operation. Time for total operation and suture time for intestinal anastomosis were none significant between Group I and Group II, although those in Group II was about 3 minutes shorter than those in Group I, respectively. Group I spent average 47.08${\pm}$11.10 minutes on total operation, 20.97${\pm}$5.54 minutes on suture time for intestinal anastomosis and Group II spent average 44.74${\pm}$7.77 minutes, 17.73${\pm}$3.05 minutes, respectively. All dogs were no special differences in vitality, vomiting, appetite between Group I and Group II for 14 days after operation. All dogs, except one dog in Group I, had showed normal vitality and appetite since 6~8 days after operation. Initial return of fecal passage showed in all dogs before 6 days after operation and thereafter most dogs showed normal feces. According to results, it was thought that all dogs with normal vitality and appetite before 8 days had showed good prognosis. There were no changes of intestinal luminal size in 2 dogs performed Group In and one dog performed Group II between at operation and 14 days after operation. Narrowing rate of intestinal lumen in Group I was average 9.3% of the normal diameter, whereas in Group II, 9.5% of normal diameter. In complications after operation, only one dog in Group I showed intestinal intussusception but the others didn't. Length of adhesion was measured between intestinal anastomotic site and omental graft. Length of adhesion in dogs performed Group II was mostly shorter than that of Group I. Adhesion with proximate intestines occurred in five dogs, which consisted of 3 dogs performed Group I and 2 dogs performed Group II. Concurrently, they had a great length of adhesion between anastomotic site and omental graft. There were no great differences between Group I and Group II about speed of operation, clinical signs, complications such as leakage and stricture. And all dogs performed intestinal anastomosis showed good clinical condition and prognosis. In conclusion, Single layer continuous Connell suture can safely perform an intestinal anastomosis and be an alternative of simple interrupted approximating suture in aspect of speed clinically.

유선종양은 암컷 개에서 가장 흔한 암 중의 하나이며 종양 타입에 따라 조직학적으로 다양한 종류의 세포들이 존재한다. 특히, 복합 상피암종(complex carcinoma)의 경우 내강상피세포(luminal epithelium)와 근상피세포(myoepithelium)가 혼재되어 종양 내 세포 이형성(intra-tumoral heterogeneity)을 보인다. 하지만, 이러한 다양한 종양세포의 기원과 종양의 악성화에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 아직 밝혀진 바 없다. 최근, 여러 종류의 사람 종양에서 알려진 종양줄기세포는 종양 내 세포의 다양성(diversity)에 관여하고 악성화에도 기여할 수 있다고 보고되었다. 흥미롭게도 종양줄기세포는 자가재생능과 다분화능을 갖는 정상줄기세포와 동일한 능력을 가지고 있지만 종양 특이 유전자의 돌연변이와 줄기세포성격유지를 조절하는 신호전달체계에 문제가 있어 종양의 발생 시작부터 다른 조직으로의 전이에 관여하여 개체의 생존률에 직접적인 영향을 준다. 뿐만 아니라, 방사선 및 화학항암제에 대한 저항성을 보이기 때문에 종양 재발에 밀접하게 연관되어 있다. 본 리뷰 논문은 개 유선종양의 특성 및 종류, 종양줄기세포의 정의, 분리 방법, 임상학적 중요성에 대해서 정리하였다.

Sialadenoma papilliferum (SP) is a rare benign neoplasm that normally arises from the minor salivary glands, particularly in the palate. SP is normally encountered in older men with an exophytic papillary surface growth. In the present study, an SP of the hard palate of a 69-year-old woman was examined immunohistochemically. Myoepithelial cell markers, such as S-100, smooth muscle actin and vimentin, were observed in the basal or luminal layer of tumor cells, indicating that myoepithelial cells participate in the pathogenesis of SP. In addition, cytokeratin 7 was also strongly detected in the tumor cells, suggesting that excretory ductal epithelial cells have a role in its histogenesis. A review of the literature of immunohistochemical studies on SP showed that the expression and co-expression of cytokeratins and myoepithelial cell markers have been reported in tumor cells. These results suggested that excretory duct cells and myoepithelial cells participate in the pathogenesis of SP.

Prostatic adenocarcinoma cells can be detected in urine cytology specimens when the tumor extends to the bladder mucosa. We report a case of prostatic adenocarcinoma diagnosed by urine cytology. A 70-year-old man presented with urinary frequency and low back pain On rectal examination, a nodular mass was palpated in the left side of prostate. Bone scan revealed multifocal hot lesions suggesting metastasis. Urine cytology revealed hypocellular smear on clean or bloody background. Tumor cells were mainly arranged in syncytial or papillary clusters which occasionally contained fool of luminal formation The cytoplasm of tumor cells was finely granular. The nuclei of tumor cells revealed evenly distributed fine chromatin and large prominent nucleoli without nuclear pleomorphism. In needle biopsy specimen of prostate, tumor cells were detected in entire prostatic tissue with extension to pericapsular soft tissue. The tumor cells infiltrated individually or in a cord-like fashion with fool of cribriform pattern. Inconspicuous nuclear pleomorphism and prominent nucleoli were also noted.

Objectives : It has been reported that the presence of a pharmacologically inactive foreign substance, polystyrene latex bead, in subarachnoid space activates a non-specific immunological response and elicits arterial narrowing. Recently the activation of potassium($K^+$) channels may be of benefit in relieving cerebral vasospasm. The present study examined the effects of systemic administration of a ATP-sensitive $K^+$ channel activator, cromakalim, on the polystyrene latex bead-induced cerebral vasospasm. Methods : The spasm models similar to that caused by subarachnoid blood injection were created by injection of bead into rabbit cisterna magna. Intravenous injections of cromakalim were administered twice daily(bid) 30 minutes after induction of vasospasm. Animals were killed by perfusion-fixation 2 days after vasospasm. Basilar arteries were removed and sectioned, and the luminal cross-sectional areas were measured. Results : Injection of bead elicited an arterial constriction, reducing arterial diameter to 33.3% of resting tone. Cromakalim inhibited bead-induced constriction at a dose of 0.3mg/kg(Mann-Whitney test, p<0.01). Conclusion : These results support the concept that the cellular events triggered by inactivation of ATP-sensitive $K^+$ channels are responsible for the pathogenesis of vasospasm. The findings also indicate that cromakalim represents a potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of cerebral vasospasm.

Urethral reconstruction is a problematic issue, thus its management can be challenging. Different methods using various materials were introduced for urethral reconstruction. The authors have made some changes in the groin flap surgery, affording more successful urethral reconstruction for defects of long urethra and penile soft tissue. A 45-year-old male requested both functional and cosmetic reconstruction of his defected penis, caused by an iatrogenic urethral injury and chronic infection following removal of paraffin self-injected on the penile shaft. The defect affected the full length of the penile urethra, corpus spongiosum, and prepuce. A groin flap was designed, measuring $28{\times}10cm$. The most distal flap was utilized for the construction of the luminal surface of the neourethra; relaxed length measuring 8 cm, and the lumen wide enough. Competent external meatus and neourethra was confirmed by retrograde cystogram and the patient voided with sufficient urine caliber up to 2 years follow-up. This operative technique has advantages. Donor sites have non-hair bearing skin for the neourethra and minimal or almost notrecognizable donor site morbidity. After surgery, the patient was relieved from voiding difficulties combined with psychological stress. The author would like to introduce a unique approach for the urethral and ventral phalloplasty using the groin flap.

Small bowel series using methylcellulose are considered a better technique than using other contrast media considering a significant decrease of transit time of $BaSO_4$ and that of the necessary time for the examination. We investigated the mean transit time of $BaSO_4$, maximum luminal diamenter of small bowel, optical density and flocculation frequency after adminstratting 100 ml of 120% $BaSO_4$ to 20 pts), 150 ml of 70% $BaSO_4$ to 20 pts and 200 ml of $BaSO_4$ with 600 ml of mechylcellulose. It was shown that the technique using 150 ml of 70% $BaSO_4$ had the best result. When we apply a adequate amount of density(w/v%), dosage to pts for small bowel series using MC, we can decrease an examination time and have the better image due to double contrast. It is considered that a more study to lower the density of 70% $BaSO_4$ is necessary.

In skeletal muscle cells, depolarization of the transverse tubules (T-tubules) results in Ca$\^$2+/ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), leading to elevated cytoplasmic Ca$\^$2+/ and muscle contraction. This process has been known as excitation-contraction coupling (E-C coupling). Several proteins, such as the ryanodine receptor (RyR), triadin, junctin, and calsequestrin (CSQ), have been identified to be involved in the Ca$\^$2＋/ release process. However, the molecular interactions between the SR proteins have not been resolved. In the present study, the mechanisms of interaction between RyRl and triadin have been studied by in vitro protein binding and $\^$45/Ca$\^$2+/ overlay assays. Our data demonstrate that the intraluminal loop II of RyR1 binds to triadin in Ca$\^$2+/-independent manner. Moreover, we could not find any Ca$\^$2+/ binding sites in the loop II region. GST-pull down assay revealed that a KEKE motif of triadin, which was previously identified as a CSQ binding site (Kobayasi et al.,2000 JBC) was also a binding site for RyR1. Our results suggest that the intraluminal loop II of RyR could participate in the RyR-mediated Ca$\^$2+/ release process by offering a direct binding site to luminal triadin.

A total of 322 patients with endobronchial tuberculosis (8.1%) out of 3,982 subjects who had a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination at the Department of Pulmonary Medicine of Hanyang University Hospital between the beginning of March 1982 and the end of April 1996 were included in this study. The peak incidence occurred in the second decade, and the male to female was 1 : 3.0. The barking cough with variable amounts of sputum was the most common chief complaint in 56.9% of the 313 patients. Other complaints included dyspnea, chest pain, fever, hemoptysis, and generalized weakness. Localized wheeze was heard over the chest in 16.9% of the 313 patients. Infiltration/consolidation was the most common roentgenographic finding of the chest in 64.2%. Bronchoscopically, hypertrophy with luminal narrowing was the most common findings in 32.3% of the 322 patients and left main bronchus was the most frequently involved in 24.0%. Using fiberoptic bronchoscopy allows not only substantial meaningful assessment of endobronchial tuberculosis but also makes a differential diagnosis of lung cancer in older patients. We need further evaluations of standard bronchoscopic classification of endobronchial tuberculosis, diagnostic accuracy of endobronchial tuberculosis by PCR, a large prospective study of effects of corticosteroids in endobronchial tuberculosis patients, and appropriate treatment of atelectasis by endobronchial tuberculosis.
