전체 성인의 약 4%에서 정도 차이는 있지만 혈뇨가 있다고 볼 때 그 원인을 구명하는 일이 중요하다. 그 원인이 사구체성 신염인지 기타 그 외의 비 사구체성 원인에 따른 질환인지를 쉽게 감별하는 일이 중요하다. 본 연구자들은 혈뇨를 동반한 소아과 환자중에서 신 생검 조직검사까지 한 5명의 환자에서 혈뇨를 표본 제작하여 먼저 위상차현미경적 표본제작법을 통하여 적혈구를 감별하였고 방법을 달리하여 주사형 전자현미경으로 요침사를 관찰하여 형태학적 고찰을 통하여 이형적혈구를 보다 명확한 3차원구조를 관찰할 수 있었다 침생검을 통해 얻은 조직학적 소견으로는 사구체의 기저막을 통과한 혈구들의 요로를 통하여 배출과정을 광학현미경 및 투과형 전자현미경으로 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 육안적 혈뇨의 색은 유출되는 적혈구의 양과 상관관계가 있으며 용혈된 정도가 심한 경우에 콜라색 혈뇨가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이들 결과에서 본 연구자들은 사구체성 질환을 동반한 유극적혈구 및 환형 적혈구 등과 같은 변형된 적혈구를 주사형 전자현미경으로 명확한 관찰을 함으로 사구체성 질환으로 인한 혈뇨의 감별에 주사형 전자현미경이 가장 유용한 검사 방법이라고 생각된다.

Natural products are increasingly appreciated as a lead for drug discovery and development. A number of investigators have studied various activities of natural products and have found that they have not only nutritional effects but also beneficial properties to cure various diseases and to maintain good health. Job's Tear(Yul-Moo) is a grass crop that have long been used in traditional medicine and a nourishing food. Job's Tear has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory, stomachic, antiallergic activity, and antispastic effects and has been used in China for the treatment of warts, rheumatism, and neuralgia although its mechanism remains unclear. Previous results in our laboratory demonstrated that the ethanol extract and water extract of Job's Tear exerted an immune regulatory function on mice cells in vitro. The present study was performed to investigate the ex vivo effect of Job's Tear on immune function. Seven to eight weeks old mices(Balb/c) were fed ad libitum on chow diet and water extract of Job's Tear were orally administrated every other day for two or four weeks at two different concentrations (50 and 500mg/kg B.W.). Proliferation of mice spenocytes and antibody production to sheep red blood cells(SRBC) using hemolytic plague forming cell assay were used to indicate the immune activity. Splenocytes proliferation of Job's Tear with mitogen stimulation such as Con A and LPS was enhanced at 50 mg/kg B.W. concentrations compared to those of control group. In case of antibody production to sheep red blood cells, the number of antibody- secreting cells was increased by administration of 50mg/kg B.W. concentration in mice immunized as a T-dependent antigen. From the present study, Job's Tear water extracts may be suggested to stimulate the mice immune response by enhancing the splenocytes proliferation and the number of plague forming cells.

Background: Hematopoiesis is the production of blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that reside in the bone marrow. Cyclophosphamide (CTX) is a chemotherapy drug that suppresses the immune system. Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) and Colla corii asini (CCA) have been traditionally used for boosting the immune system. Methods: HSCs in the bone marrow, and immune cell subtype in splenocytes, PBMCs, and thymocytes were investigated. Serum levels of hematopoietic-related markers were analyzed using ELISA. Protein expression in spleen tissue was analyzed using western blot analysis. Hematoxylin & eosin staining in the femurs of mice were also conducted. Results: The combination of KRG and CCA with a ratio of 3:2 increased HSCs, CD3 and CD8⁺ T cells in the circulation, and CD3 T cells in the spleen. A ratio of 2:3 (KRG:CCA) increased the thymic regulatory T cells and recovered the CD3 T cells in the spleen and circulation while recovering proteins in the JAK-STAT pathway in the spleen. Overall, blood cell population and differentiating factors vital for cell differentiation were also significantly recovered by all combinations especially in ratios of 3:2 and 2:3. Conclusion: A ratio of 3:2 (KRG:CCA) is the most ideal combination as it recovered the HSC population in the bone marrow of mice.

Parasitic leeches could directly (through causing poor growth, anemia and wound in the fish) and indirectly (by predisposition of the fish to secondary bacterial and fungal infections) affects their hosts. In the present study, fishes that were attacked by leeches in natural and experimental environment were studied. Pathologic samples were obtained from damages at the site of leech bite, as well as kidney and liver of the fish. Histopathological examination revealed numerous lesions at the site of leech bite including tissue demolition, detachment at the site of leech bite in the epidermis of epithelial tissue in the skin, destructed nucleus in epithelial cells of the skin plus necrosis in the damaged skin and weak inflammatory penetration to acute necrotic damages along with piercing dermis layer. Pathologic lesions in the kidney included some changes such as proliferation by increasing glomerular cells and membrane cells in capillary vein of the kidney, blood cell necrosis in kidney with infiltration of white blood cells mainly mononuclear and less polymorphonuclear which are the symptoms of anemia due to blood feeding and sucking by leeches. There was also a chronic kidney infection probably originated from another part of body such as skin. Moreover, leeches caused hemorrhagic anemia due to blood consumption of the hosts, which led to observation of immature red blood cells. Also results showed that diseases induced by leeched in fish could be acute or chronic, which depends on size of fish, species of leech and severity of infection.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) when added to sows' diet on their reproductive performance and growth performance and on the hematology parameters of the sows and their piglets. Sixteen multiparous sows (Yorkshire × Landrace) were allotted into two treatment groups and fed basal diets (CON, piglets were injected with iron dextran) or the basal diet containing 0.1% ALA (ALA, piglets were not injected with iron dextran) from day 100 of gestation to day 28 of lactation. Supplementation of ALA had no effect on the body weight (BW), backfat thickness (BFT), or litter sizes of sows in the present experiment. However, the average daily feed intake (ADFI) of the sows was significantly improved (p < 0.05) in the ALA group. Supplementation of ALA had no effect on the growth performance or survival of suckling piglets but had a significant effect on the birth weight (p < 0.05). With regard to the blood profiles, serum concentrations of iron were unaffected in sows and piglets as compared to the control group. Red blood cell (RBC) counts were significantly improved (p < 0.05) in sows during late gestation to the time before farrowing period and in piglets at weaning. In summary, these results suggest that dietary supplementation of ALA can have positive effects by improving growth performance and blood RBC in sows and suckling piglets.

In order to effective treats a sick calf, it is necessary to obtain accurate information about the patient's condition. However, the standard references for Korean cattle claves are not well known. Therefore, this study aims to present useful clinical values by analyzing normal blood and diarrhea blood of Hanwoo calf. Recently, with the advent of a portable blood analyzer, it is possible to immediately analyze the patient's condition and severity in the field, not in the laboratory, and to calculate a suitable dosage for supporting fluid therapy. Therefore, in this study, the distribution of red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC) were analyzed in normal and diarrhea Hanwoo calves. As a result, Hematocrit (HCT) levels increase significantly between 1 and 20 days in diarrhea positive calves. Changes in leukocyte composition had similar growth patterns in normal and diarrhea calves. As it grew, the proportion of neutrophils decreased and lymphocytes increased. However, the number of WBCs increased from 1 to 10 and 21 to 30 days in diarrhea positive calves, which is closely related to the increase in neutrophils. Therefore, those data can be used for diagnosis and treatment of diarrhea calf.

The health effects of environmental and occupational exposure to steady magnetic fields is a matter of concern. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hematologic effects of exposure to steady magnetic fields at the electrolysis unit of a Copper complex. The population under study was the workers of the electrolysis unit of the copper refinery. The average steady magnetic field in the exposure group was 2.5 mT. The blood indices of workers exposure to steady magnetic fields after adjusting for confounders showed decreased white blood cells (except neutrophils) and increase in the number and volume of platelets. Red blood cells did not show any significant difference. Exposure to steady magnetic fields even in proposed safe limits may have hematologic effects on humans. There is a necessity for more research about the safe doses of exposure to magnetic fields.
