An experimental study was carried out to determine the degree of contamination of cyanide and metals in each stork's (Ciconia c. boyciana) organ. The samples used for this experiment were gullet, respiratory tract, stomach content, rectum, lung, liver, heart, pancreas, gall, kidney, and muscles. Those samples were isolated by Conway microdiffusion method and determined by UV spectrophotometry for the cyanide, on the other hand, the samples for metals were dissolved by mercury digestion apparatus and analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results are as follows: 1) The quantities of cyanide accumulated in each organ were from 0.05 to 2.57 ppm and concentration of those in tissues was in order of 2.57 ppm in stomach content, 2.13 ppm in lung, 1.58 ppm in kidney, 1.22 ppm in gall, 0.52 ppm in pancreas, 0.32 ppm in heart, 0.25 ppm in rectum, 0.20 ppm in gullet, 0.19 ppm in liver, 0.07 ppm in muscles and 0.05 ppm in respiratory tract. 2) The calcium content is in a range of 10.89-105.74 ppm, iron is 2.47-557.70 ppm, zinc is 2.37-23.62 ppm, cupper is < 0.1- 1.76 ppm and cadmium, nickel, cobalt and lead is beyond 0.5 ppm, respectively.

Three cattle, a sheep and a goat were slaughtered to determine the distribution of digesta particles and mean size of digesta particles. Aliquot samples of digesta in the diverse sites of the digestive tracts were fractionated by a wet sieving technique. Fractionated particles were analyzed by the magnetic grid analyzer system constructed by authors. Results showed that the proportion of particles in digesta was similar among the omasum, abomasums cecum, colon and rectum, but that for the reticulo-ruminal digesta was different from the others. The pattern of the mass base frequency distribution of particles was also similar in the post-ruminal digesta. Average Heywood's diameter (the diameter equivalent to that of a circle with equal area to a projected area of a given particle) was about 1.2 mm in the reticulo-ruminal digesta and decreased to 0.65 mm for cattle or to about 0.35 mm for sheep and goat in the omasal digesta. Average Heywood's diameter was about the same in the post-ruminal digesta. It is concluded that mean particle size and particle distribution in digesta of the rectum or feces reflect those in digesta of the omasum.

In order to investigate the regional distribution and relative frequency of the serotonin-, somatostatin- and motilin-immunoreactive cells in the gastrointestinal tract GIT) of the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) with developmental stages, group of bullfrogs subdivided into the tadpole with hindlegs, metamorphosed bullfrog with tail, 2 wk after metamorphosed bullfrog and adult bullfrog, were stained by immunohistochemical methods (PAP methods). Multifarious changes of the regional distribution and relative frequency of the gastrointestinal endocrine cells were observed as developmental stages but motilin-immunoreactive cell ere not detected in this study. Serotonin-immunoreactive cells were detected from 2 wk after metamorphosed bullfrog in the whole GIT. The positive cells were predominant in the pylorus regions. In the adult bullfrog, these cells increased in fundus. On the other hand, somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were observed from the tadpole with hindlegs in the stomach regions. In the metamorphosed bullfrog with tail, they were found in the whole GIT except for the ileum, and increased with developmental stages except for rectum. In the rectum, these cells were not detected after that period. Our results show that most of the immunoreactive cells appear from completed metamorphosed periods when the histological structure of GIT is completely differentiated.

The regional distribution and relative frequencies of endocrine cells were studied immunogistochemically (PAP methods) in the alimentary tract of the tree frog, Hyla areorea japonica, using specific antisera against serotonin, somatostatin, bovine Sp-1/chromogranin (BCG), cholecystokinin (CCK)-8, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), gastrin, bombesin, secretin and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). Six kinds of endocrine cells were identified in this study, These immunoreactive cells were located in the gastric glands of stomach regions and in the basal portion of the epithelium of the intestinal tract or esophagus with variable frequencies. They were spherical or spindle-shaped. Serotonin-immunoreactive cells were observed in the whole alimentary tract including the esophagus. Somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were also detected throughout the alimentary tract except the rectum. CCK-8-immunoreactive cells were observed from the pylorus to ileum. Vip-immunoreactive cells were restricted to the rectum. Bombesin-immunoreactive cells were restricted to the fundic gastric regions and gastrin-immunoreactive cells were restricted to the pylorus. However, no BCG-, secretin and PP-immunoreactive cells were demonstrated in this study. In conclusion, the regional distribution and relative frequency of the endocrine cells in the alimentary tract of the tree frog were similar to other anuran species, but some differences which may be caused by feeding habits and species specification were also observed.

목적: T1-201 경직장 문맥신티그라피에서 심장/간 섭취비(단락지수)는 만성 간질환 환자에서 문맥-체단락을 평가하는 데 유용한 지표로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 만성 활동성 간염과 간경변 환자에서 T1-201 섭취 양상과 초기 간/심장 섭취속도의 유용성을 평가하고, 단락지수와의 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 간생검으로 만성 간질환(만성 활동성 간염 35명, 간경화 23명)을 진단받은 58명의 환자에서 T1-201 18.5 MBq를 상부직장에 주입 후 T1-201 경직장 문맥신티그라피를 시행하였다. 간섭취 양상(1형: 균일 분포, 2형: 분절단위 불균일 분포, 3형: 비분절단위 불균일 분포)과 비장, 심장, 신장의 간외 분포양상(grade 0: 방사능 섭취 없음, grade 1: 간보다 적은 방사능 정도, grade 2: 간과 비슷한 방사능 정도, grade 3: 간보다 많은 방사능 정도), 초기 간/심장 섭취속도(처음 10분간의 간/심장 섭취비의 기울기)와 단락지수(심장/간 계수비)를 구하였다. T1-201 섭취 양상과 초기 간/심장 섭취비를 병리진단, 단락지수와 비교하였다. 결과: 간 섭취 양상은 만성 활동성 간염에서 1형과 2형의 간내 방사능 분포 양상이 많았고(만성 활동성 간염: 27/35, 간경변: 8/23), 간경변은 3형이 유의하게 많았다(만성활동성 간염. 8/35, 간경변: 15/23)(p<0.005). 간외분포양상의 grade는 간경변에서 유의하게 높았다(비장: p<0.001, 기타 연 조직 p<0.005). 초기 간/심장섭취속도는 만성 활동성 간염($0.110{\pm}$0.111)이 간경변($0.014{\pm}0.090$)보다 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.001), 간경변의 판정지표로서 0.05를 기준으로 하였을 때 예민도와 특이도는 각각 77.2%, 67.7%였다. 초기간/심장 섭취속도와 단락지수는 음의 상관관계를 보였다(r=-0.3347, p<0.01). 결론: T1-201 경직장 문맥 신티그라피에서 간 및 간외 방사능 분포와 초기 간/심장 섭취속도는 만성 간질환 환자에서 문맥-체단락을 평가하는 데 유용한 지표로 생각된다.

Nine cows were superovulated by administration of 8 injections of Folltropin each (2.5 ml/injection, 1.75 mg/ml) i.m spread over 4 days, beginning on Day 10 of oestrous cycle, and 30 and 20 mg prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}$ was given along with the 5th and 6th injections of Folltropin, respectively, to induce luteolysis. The animals were artificially inseminated 48, 60 and 72 h after the first prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}$ injection. The number of corpora lutea was recorded by palpation per rectum and by ultrasonography on Day 6 (Day 0 = day of oestrus). The ovaries were examined daily by ultrasonography on Days 3-9 of the oestrous cycle for following the growth and regression of the largest follicle, which was considered the morphologically dominant follicle. The animals were classified into two groups depending upon the presence (n = 4) and absence of a dominant follicle (n = 5). There was a high correlation (r = 0.97, p < 0.001) between the number of corpora lutea observed by palpation per rectum and that determined by ultrasonography. Mean (${\pm}SEM$) number of corpora lutea determined by ultrasonography ($11.20{\pm}3.71$ vs $3.25{\pm}0.75$) and by palpation per rectum ($10.40{\pm}3.91$ vs $2.25{\pm}0.75$) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the nondominant group compared to that in the dominant group. There was no difference in the numbers of follicles 2-3 mm ($13.80{\pm}4.49$ vs $8.00{\pm}1.08$), 4-6 mm ($7.00{\pm}1.87$ vs $3.50{\pm}1.33$), and the total number of follicles ${\geq}2mm$ ($22.00{\pm}5.95$ vs $12.50{\pm}1.26$) between the two groups, one day prior to initiation of superovulation. There was, however, a significant (p<0.01) positive correlation between the number of corpora lutea with the numbers of follicles 2-3 mm (r = 0.83), 4-6 mm (r = 0.80) and the total number of follicles ${\geq}2mm$ (r = 0.89) observed one day prior to initiation of superovulation. The results of this study indicate that the presence of a dominant follicle adversely affects the superovulatory response in cattle.

This study was conducted to determine and compare the effects of yeast yeast culture (YC) and vitamin E (VE) supplementation on endotoxin absorption and antioxidant status in lactating dairy goats suffering from heat stress (HS). Three first lactation Saanen dairy goats (body weight $30{\pm}1.5kg$) were surgically fitted with indwelling catheters in the portal vein, mesenteric vein and carotid artery, and were randomly assigned to a $3{\times}3$ Latin square design. Dietary treatments were the basal diet, and the basal diet supplemented with either 100 IU VE or 30 g YC. Goats were kept in temperature and humidity-controlled room at $35^{\circ}C$ from 8:00 to 20:00 and at $24^{\circ}C$ from 20:00 till the next morning at 8:00. The relative humidity was kept at 55%. HS increased dairy goats' rectum temperature and respiration frequency (p<0.01). HS reduced plasma flux rate of milk goats (p<0.01), but the plasma flux rate increased when the animal was under the conditions of the thermo-neutral period (p<0.01). The VE supplementation lowered dairy goats' rectum temperature during thermo-neutral period (p<0.01). Meanwhile, no significant differences were observed between the control and YC treatment in rectum temperature and respiration frequency (p>0.05). Dietary supplementation of VE and YC reduced heat stressed dairy goats' endotoxin concentration of the carotid artery and portal vein (p<0.01). However, the endotoxin concentration of the YC treatment was higher than that of the VE treatment (p<0.01). Both VE and YC supplementation decreased heat stressed dairy goats' absorption of endotoxin in portal vein (p<0.01). The endotoxin absorption of YC treatment was higher than the VE treatment (p<0.01). The addition of VE and YC decreased dairy goats' superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentration during HS and the whole experiment period (p<0.01). The addition of VE lowered SOD concentration during thermo-neutral period (p<0.01). Likewise, the addition of VE and YC lowered dairy goats' malonaldehyde (MDA) concentration during HS and the whole experimental period, and the MDA concentration in the VE treatment was lower than the YC treatment (p<0.05). The addition of VE decreased MDA concentration during thermo-neutral period. On the contrast, the addition of VE increased dairy goats total antioxidant potential (TAP) concentration during HS, thermo-neutral and the whole experimental period (p<0.01). The addition of YC increased TAP concentration only during HS period (p<0.01). It is concluded that both VE and YC are useful in alleviating HS of dairy goats by weakening endotoxin absorption and promoting antioxidant capacity. Compared with YC, VE is much more powerful in easing dairy goats HS.

1979년부터 1986년까지 자궁경부암으로 진단되어 외부방사선 및 강내 방사선 치료를 함께 받은 550명의 환자를 대상으로 직장 합병증과 방사선량에 대한 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 전체 환자550명 중 468명은 근치적 목적으로 방사선 치료를 받았으며, 82명은 수술후에 추가적인 방사선 치료를 받았다. 이들 82명 중 43명은 수술절제연 양성으로, 31명은 원발질환의 재발로, 8명은 stump cancer로 방사선 치료를 받았다. Grade 2와 3를 포함하는 직장 합병증의 발생률은 5년에 $6.7였다. 합병증이 생긴 환자군의 직장에 조사된 방사선량은 $7424{\pm}834$ cGy이었으며, 이는 합병증이 발생하지 않은 환자군의 $6946{\pm}717$ cGy보다 많았고 통계학적 유의성이 있었다(p<0.05) 직장합병증의 정도에 따른 방사선량의 차이는 통계학적 유의성이 없었다(p>0.05). 전체 합병증의 발생률은 직장에 조사된 방사선량에 따라 증가하였는데, 6,500 cGy 이하에서는 5년 합병증 발생률이 15.6이었으며 8,000 cGy 이 상 조사된 환자군에서는 71.2이었다. 직장 합병증에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인들을 Cox의 방법에 의해 다변량분석한 결과 당뇨가 있는 경우 합병증 발생률이 증가하였으며, 강내 방사선치료는 한번 시행한 경우보다 두번 시행한 환자군에서 합병증 발생률이 더 적었다. 또한 자궁의 후방만곡은 ovoid의 크기와 함께 분석된 경우에 통계적으로 중요한 의미를 나타내었고, ovoid의 크기는 이번 분석에서 합병증 발생에 가장 중요한 인자로 나타났다. 직장에 조사된 방사선량도 중요한 요소로서 방사선량이 많아질수록 합병증 발생률은 증가하였다(p<0.05). TDF와 CRE단위로 분석하였으며 선량과 합병증의 관계는 cGy 단위의 결과와 같았다.
