  • 경골어류의 비장과 두신에 분포하는 대식세포의 탐식과정 및 탐식활력에 상응한 Melano - Macrophage Centers (MMCs)의 형태학적 변화가 갖는 병리학적 의의를 규명하기 위하여, 어체의 면역활성상태의 변화를 인위적으로 야기한 털라피아, Oreochromis niloticus 에 콜로이드성 탄말을 주입하여 비장 및 두신 MMCs의 병리조직학적 변화에 대한 추이를 경시적으로 추구하였다. 면역활성상태의 변화를 야기할 목적으로 Edwardsiella tarda 유래 formalin killed cell(FKC) 및 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)를 복강내 주사하거나, dexamethasone을 경구투여하였다. 각 처치군에서 모든 틸라피아의 비장 및 두신에 분포하는 대식세포의 탄말탐식유형이나, MMCs와 관련한 탄말탐식세포의 이동상은 유사하였으나, 경시적으로 본 대식세포의 탐식활력과 기존 MMCs 또는 새롭게 형성된 탄말함유세포의 응집유형에 있어서는 무처치군을 포함한 처치군간에 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 무처치군에서는 비장과 두신에 있어 다소 차이는 있으나, 두신의 경우, 탄말투여 12일이 지나서야 MMCs 내의 집적정도가 치밀하였다. 이에 반해 2 가지의 세균유래 항원을 처치한 군에서는 탄말투여 8 일째에 탄말이 기존 MMCs 내로 치밀하게 집적하거나, 탄말함유세포로만 구성된 치밀한 집괴형상을 완료한 반면, dexamethasone 을 처치한 군에서는 8일째 이후에도 탄말을 함유한 세포는 소수만이 관찰되었으며, MMCs 내로의 치밀한 집적이나 탄말함유세포의 집괴는 볼 수 없었다. 본 연구의 결과, 어체의 면역활성상태는 MMCs의 출현수, 크기, 치밀성 및 윤곽에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 강하게 시사하며, MMCs의 각종 형태학적 소견은 경골어류의 병리조직학적 소견해석에 있어서 도움을 줄 수 있는 중요한 형태학적 증거가 될 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.

  • Acanthopanax divaricatus (Siebold & Zucc.) Seem. var. albeofructus (ADA), a traditional medical herb, has been used to treat arthritis and muscular injury, to strengthen muscle and bone, and to get vital energy. However, information regarding its toxicity is limited. ADA was administered by oral gavage to groups of rats at doses of 0 (control), 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500, and 3,000 mg/kg five times per week for 13 weeks. Mortality, clinical signs, body weights, food consumption, hematology, serum chemistry, urinalysis, organ weights, necropsy, histopathological finding, vaginal cytology, and sperm morphology were compared between control and ADA-treated groups. Salivation was intermittently observed in both sexes receiving 2,500 and 3,000 mg/kg directly after dosing. Absolute liver weights increased in females receiving 2,000, 2,500, and 3,000 mg/kg ADA (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, and P < 0.01, respectively) and so did the relative liver weights (P < 0.001). Salivation and increased liver weight were ADA-related changes but not considered to be adverse effects. Salivation was intermittent and transient, and the liver weight increase was minor and not accompanied by other changes such as hepatic morphological or functional alterations. The no-observed-adverse-effect-level was determined to be at least 3,000 mg/kg in both sexes of rats.

  • Cyclosporine A is an immunosuppressant commonly used for patients receiving organ transplants. Gingival overgrowth is an adverse side-effect seen in about 8-26% of patients taking cyclosporine A which have been shown to increase the DNA synthesis of gingival fibroblast at the concentration of $10^{-9}g/ml$ in vitro. Glycyrrhetinic acid is the active pharmacological ingredients of licorice which exerts steroid-like action and anti-viral activity. Oleanolic acid, which were isolated from Glechoma hederacea, has been shown to act as inhibitors of tumor promotion in vivo and to be less cytotoxic retinoic acid. This study has been performed to evaluate the effects of glycyrrhetinic acid and oleanolic acid on cyclosporine A induced cell activity in vitro. Human gingival fibroblasts were isolated from explant cultures of healthy gingiva of orthodontic patients. Gingival fibroblasts were trypsinized and transferred to the walls of microtest plates. Fibroblasts were cultured in growth medium added $10^{-9}g/ml$ cyclosporineA and $50{\mu}l/ml$ lipopolysaccharides. Cells between the 4th and 6th transfer in culture were used for this study. The morphology of gingival fibroblst were examined by inverted microscope. The effects of cyclosporine A on the time course of DNA sythesis by human gingival fibroblasts were assessed by $[^3H]-thymidine$ uptake assays. Cyclosporine A was found to stimulate DNA synthesis of human gingival fibroblast at a concentration of $10^{-9}g/ml$. In the presence of lipopolysaccharide derived from Fusobacterium nucleatum, addition of cyclosporine A results in reversal of inhibition at the concentration which normally inhibits gingival fibroblast proliferation. The cell acitivities in the presence of glycyrrhetinic acid and oleanolic acid were decreased, and increased cell acitivities by cyclosporine A were decreased by glycyrrhetinic acid and oleanolic acid at the concentration of $200{\mu}g/ml$. These results suggested that the increased cell activities by cyclosporine A modulated by glycyrrhetinic acid and oleanolic acid.

  • Purpose: Angiosarcoma is a tumor of mesenchymal origin with an extremely high rate of metastasis and invasiveness. This tumor is notorious for its very poor prognosis, although surgical excision followed by radiation therapy is considered to be effective by many. The authors experienced three angiosarcoma patients with their tumors removed and wounds covered with split-thickness skin grafts and/or latissimus dorsi free flaps. Methods: Three patients were admitted to our hospital showed plaques of different morphology. Based on their medical records, these patients were classified by sex, age, type of reconstruction, recurrence, and further treatment after surgical removal. Results: All patients were male, with a mean age of 72 years (range, 66 to 77 years). Split-thickness skin grafts with latissimus dorsi free flaps were performed on two cases, and of these two cases, cervical lymph node biopsy was done in one case, and radical neck dissection was done in the other. In all cases, radiation therapy was done within two weeks of tumor removal. Distant metastasis occurred without local recurrence in two of the cases. Lung was the first organ affected by metastasis. In the remaining case, the tumor recurred locally 6 times, and additional excision was necessary. All patients died due to local recurrence and lung metastasis. Conclusion: Irregular margins and high recurrence and metastasis rates cause a poor prognosis in large angiosarcoma of the scalp. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be strongly considered in large angiosarcomas.

  • Cigarette smoking (SM) is considered to be well known environmental toxin which contributes to the onset of various diseases. SM cause direct lungs damage, activate lungs inflammatory responses, and in some cases leads to the development of lung cancer. Cytokines in injured starfish (Asterina pectinifera) is the potential changes in its expression during the regeneration process. Especially, expression of TGF-${\beta}1$ has increased in arm cut starfish extract after eight days. Also, starfish including saponin like the ginseng. Saponin is widely used in the world because of some effective pharmacological activities. Therefore, the current study was designed to elucidate the pharmacological activities of starfish extract against cigarette smoking induced damage in cell line and pulmonary tissue. We investigate that the effect of eight days starfish extract after arm cut (8d) and intact starfish extract on cell line and mouse lung injury by SM. In cell proliferation analysis, although cigarette smoking extract (CSE) was co-treated, the higher proliferation ability is shown in 8d treatment than intact starfish extract. 8d and intact starfish extract was directly transported to pulmonary cells through respiratory organ by nebulizer inhalation. In this case of cigarette smoking, the pulmonary structure was damaged and functions become abnormal. However, 8d treated groups showed similar with the control group compared with SM group. Among them, 8d was proved to be more effective than intact starfish extract. These results demonstrate that 8d could more protect pulmonary structure and function than intact starfish extract against cigarette smoking by ginseng like saponin and regulation of inflammatory cytokines.

  • The present study was designed to characterize the effects of estrogen receptor agonist (4,4',4'-(4-Propyl-[1H]-pyrazole-1,3,5-triyl) trisphenol, PPT) on liver and kidney in male mouse using a light microscopic analysis. PPT was subcutaneously given to adult male mice at a weekly dosage of 178.6mg/kg in a volume 0.08 ml of vehicle for 3, 5 and 8 weeks. There were differences in body and organ weights between control and the treated groups. Body and kidney weights were decreased in treated group whereas, liver weight was increased. In microscopic observations, sinusoidal diameter in liver of treated group was increased 156%, 216% and 255% on week 3, 5 and 8 respectively. Compared to the control, diameter of proximal convoluted tubules in kidney was increased 37% and 43% or week 5 and 8 in treated group. Whereas, height of epithelial cells in the proximal tubules was reduced at all time points. These results suggest that microstructure of liver and kidney was changed by treatment of estrogen receptor agonist PPT in the male mice.

  • Intensive theoretical and experimental studies have been carried out at Korean Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) on controlling the bio absorbing rate of the Mg alloys with high mechanical strength through tailoring of electrochemical potential. Key technology for retarding the corrosion of the Mg alloys is to equalize the corrosion potentials of the constituent phases in the alloys, which prevented the formation of Galvanic circuit between the constituent phases resulting in remarkable reduction of corrosion rate. By thermodynamic consideration, the possible phases of a given alloy system were identified and their work functions, which are related to their corrosion potentials, were calculated by the first principle calculation. The designed alloys, of which the constituent phases have similar work function, were fabricated by clean melting and extrusion system. The newly developed Mg alloys named as KISTUI-MG showed much lower corrosion rate as well as higher strength than previously developed Mg alloys. Biocompatibility and feasibility of the Mg alloys as orthopedic implant materials were evaluated by in vitro cell viability test, in vitro degradation test of mechanical strength during bio-corrosion, in vivo implantation and continuous observation of the implant during in vivo absorbing procedures. Moreover, the cells attached on the Mg alloys was observed using cryo-FIB (focused ion beam) system without the distortion of cell morphology and its organ through the removal of drying steps essential for the preparation of normal SEM/TEM samples. Our Mg alloys showed excellent biocompatibility satisfying the regulations required for biomedical application without evident hydrogen evolution when it implanted into the muscle, inter spine disk, as well as condyle bone of rat and well contact interface with bone tissue when it was implanted into rat condyle.

  • A comparative floral morphological study of 19 taxa in Persicaria sect. Cephalophilon with four taxa related to Koenigia was conducted to evaluate the taxonomic implications. The flowers of P. sect. Cephalophilon have (four-)five-lobed tepals; five, six, or eight stamens, and one pistil with two or three styles. The size range of each floral characteristic varies according to the taxa; generally P. humilis, P. glacialis var. glacialis and Koenigia taxa have rather small floral sizes. The connate degrees of the tepal lobes and styles also vary. The tepal epidermis consists of elongated rectangular cells with variation of the anticlinal cell walls (ACWs). Two types of glandular trichomes are found. The peltate glandular trichome (PT) was observed in nearly all of the studied taxa. The PT was consistently distributed on the outer tepal of P. sect. Cephalophilon, while Koenigia taxa and P. glacialis var. glacialis had this type of trichome on both sides of the tepal. P. criopolitana had only long-stalked pilate-glandular trichomes (LT) on the outer tepal. The nectary is distributed on the basal part of the inner tepal, with three possible shapes: dome-like, elongated, and disc-like nectary. The nectaries are always accompanied by elongated or spheroidal papillae. Various combinations of floral characters (e.g., the numbers of stamens and styles, the stigma shape, the nectary shape, ACWs, cuticular striation and the trichome type and distribution) of P. sect. Cephalophilon are useful when attempting to recognize the infrasectional levels of P. sect. Cephalophilon recently proposed. Here, we describe the floral characteristics in detail and discuss the taxonomic significance of the floral characters.
