  • Schwannomas exhibit histopathological variation that leads to diagnostic dilemmas, although less frequent in the oral cavity. We describe a case with unique histopathology and no relevant clinical history that adds to the breadth of literature on the diversity presented by Schwannoma. A 60-year-old female patient presented with a small dome-shaped, asymptomatic swelling on the alveolar ridge 6 years in duration. Histopathologically, it showed rich cellular pathology with a unique arrangement of tumor cells forming irregular rosettes. Each rosette presented with a central core of fibrin-collagenous material and the tumor cells were arranged on the periphery, exhibiting epithelioid change with evidence of mild cellular and nuclear pleomorphism. On immunohistochemical evaluation, the cells were strongly and diffusely positive for S-100 and negative for Ki-67. A diagnosis of benign Schwannoma with a rosette-like arrangement with epithelioid change was made. The case report emphasizes the risk of misdiagnosis and the importance of awareness regarding rare histopathological variants of Schwannoma.

  • The erythrocytes(E) rosette forming capacity of peripheral blood lymphocytes(PBL) in Korean native cattle was determined with 2-aminoethylisothiouronium bromide hydrobromide(AET) and dextran(Dex)-treated sheep erythrocytes(SRBC). To further standardize the assay, optimum concentration of AET and/or Dex-treatment and incubation time for rosette forming cell(RFC) counts were determined. In untreated SRBC resuspended in the rosetting medium(RPMI 1640 containing 10% FCS), PBL from 7 animals formed low percentage of rosettes($7.8{\pm}6.0%$). Both AET and Dex treatment not only enhanced the rosette formation but also made it easy to enumerate rosettes by increasing numbers of SRBC attached on them. SRBC treated with 0.1M AET for 20 min or 8% Dex formed the highest percentages of rosettes, ($35.7{\pm}6.0%$ and $48.3{\pm}4.7%$, respectively) and were used in subsequent studies. With SRBC treated with 0.1M AET for 20 min and suspended in 8% Dex, the maximum RFC observed were $56.6{\pm}6.8%$ in female and $65.8{\pm}6.3%$ in male and the rates of RFC did not change significantly between 3 and 20 hr incubation time at ${4^{\circ}C}$.

  • Peach rosette mosaic virus (PRMV) is a plant virus that was first reported in 1933 by Peach. It can infect hosts including peach, grape, blueberry, dandelion, plum, cherry tree, and weeds. PRMV is non-reportable in Korea, but it is designated as a controlled virus requiring plant quarantine. In this study, for the rapid and specific detection of PRMV, we developed an assay using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Comparison between conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods (real time-PCR and nested PCR) and LAMP for the detection of PRMV revealed an equivalent level of sensitivity by all the tested methods. For the LAMP assay, outer primer sets were used to amplify a 264-bp PCR product, which was then digested using the restriction enzyme Pvu II (CAG/CTG), and the visualization of two digestion fragments (207 + 57 bp) indicated a positive reaction. The developed LAMP assay for PRMV is expected to enable the rapid monitoring of PRMV in plants.

  • 많은 연구들에서 hMSC를 얻기 위해 centrifugation, fluoroscence activated cell sorter(FACS), magnetic activated cell sorter(MACS)가 이용되어져 왔다. 그러나 centrifugation만을 이용한 경우 순도가 떨어지며 FACS나 MACS의 경우에는 비용, 시간이 많이 드는 단점이 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 antibody cocktail을 이용하여 hMSC를 좀더 쉽게 얻어내는 방법에 대해 알아보았다. 사람의 골반에서 12G의 바늘을 이용하여 골수를 흡입한 후 heparin이 들어있는 시험관에 넣고 처리과정을 시행하기 전에 냉장고에 보관하며 가능한 한 빨리 처리 과정을 실시한다. 얻은 골수에 적당량의 RosetteSep( Stemcell Technologies)을 첨가한 후 실온에서 20분간 반응시킨다. 그 후 적당량의 Ficoll-paque위에 골수와 RosetteSep의 혼합물을 섞이지 않게 올리고 원심분리를 이용하여 원하는 세포층을 얻어낸다. 이 세포층을 따로 분리한 뒤 배양한다. 배양 시 세포가 80%이상 차기 전에 계속 passage를 시행하며 배양한다. 이는 세포가 밀도가 높아져 원치 않는 세포로 분화되는 것을 막기 위함이다. 배양된 세포가 다양한 분화능력을 가지고 있는지 알아보기 위해 세 가지로 분화를 유도하였다. 적절한 배지와 적절한 환경에서 배양함으로써 얻어진 세포를 osteoblast, chondroblast, adipocyte로 분화를 유도하였다. 분화된 세포가 원하는 형질의 세포로 분화되었는지를 확인하기 위하여 osteoblast의 경우 alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase activity, chondroblast의 경우 toluidine blue staining, adipocyte의 경우 Oil-Red-O staining으로 염색하여 분화를 확인하였다. 분리해낸 세포는 각각 세 가지 세포로 분화가 되었으며 이는 RosetteSep이 hMSC를 성공적으로 분리해냈다는 것을 보여준다. 그러나 모든 세포가 분화를 보이지는 않았으며 따라서 hMSC의 순도를 높이기 위한 연구가 더 필요하다. RosetteSep을 이용하면 다른 방법들 보다 쉽게 hMSC를 얻을 수 있으나 기존의 방법과 순도의 측면에서 더 비교할 필요가 있다.

  • This study was planned to estimate the activity of bovine circulating blood lymphocytes using phytohemagglutinin-M(PHA) known as T cell mitogen. Bovine circulating blood mononuclear cells(MNCs) was separated, and cultured with or without macrophage($PHA^+/M{\phi}^+$ or $PHA^+/M{\phi}^-$) in conditioned medium which stimulated with various concentration of PHA(0, 5, 10, 15 and $20{\mu}g/ml$ in medium), and then investigated the blastogenic response and rosette formation of lymphocytes. Blastogenic rate(BR) was especially increased in PHA concentration(10 and $15{\mu}g/ml$) of $PHA^+/M{\phi}^+$ group and their BR were $41.5{\pm}6.8%$ and $44.4{\pm}8.9%$, respectively and BR in PHA concentration(15 and $20{\mu}g/ml$) of $PHA^+/M{\phi}^-$ group was $32.8{\pm}6.2%$ and $31.4{\pm}4.6%$, respectively. BR of lymphocytes was more increased in $PHA^+/M{\phi}^+$ than $PHA^+/M{\phi}^-$ group when these cells were stimulated by PHA. Rosette forming rate(RFR) of lymphocytes to SRBC highly increased when SRBC was treated with AET and/or dextran, respectively. On the orther hand, RFR significantly increased more in $PHA^+/M{\phi}^+$ and $PHA^+/M{\phi}^-$ group than in control group, but when compared with two groups, statistical significancy was recognized only in PHA concentration($15{\mu}g/ml$, p<0.026) of $PHA^+/M{\phi}^+$ group.

  • In this work, we report a delta rosette strain sensor based on highly stretchable silver nanowire (AgNW) percolation piezoresistors. The proposed rosette strain sensors were easily prepared by a facile two-step fabrication route. First, three identical AgNW piezoresistive electrodes were patterned in a simple and precise manner on a donor film using a solution-processed drop-coating of the AgNWs in conjunction with a tape-type shadow mask. The patterned AgNW electrodes were then entirely transferred to an elastomeric substrate while embedding them in the polymer matrix. The fabricated stretchable AgNW piezoresistors could be operated at up to 20% strain without electrical or mechanical failure, showing a maximum gauge factor as high as 5.3, low hysteresis, and high linearity ($r^2{\approx}0.996$). Moreover, the sensor responses were also found to be highly stable and reversible even under repeated strain loading/unloading for up to 1000 cycles at a maximum tensile strain of 20%, mainly due to the mechanical stability of the AgNW/elastomer composites. In addition, both the magnitude and direction of the principal strain could be precisely characterized by configuring three identical AgNW piezoresistors in a delta rosette form, representing the potential for employing the devices as a multidimensional strain sensor in various practical applications.

  • The degree to which parallel evolution utilizes the same genetic mechanisms indicates the degree to which developmental processes constrain or channel phenotypic evolution. A transgenetic strategy was used to elucidate the role of one floral meristem identity gene, LEAFY (LFY), in the evolution of rosette flowering, a plant architecture that has evolved in parallel in several lineages of the mustard family, Brassicaceae. The LFY genes from three rosette flowering species were cloned and introduced into a species with the ancestral architecture, and results indicated that changes at the LFY locus contributed to the evolution of rosette flowering in two of the three lineages, but that in each lineage a different set of genetic partners was involved. Also, LFY was shown to play a role in the evolution of flower size. Transgenetic strategy may be useful in the study of plant morphological evolution and parallelism.

  • This study was done to know the effect of Giyuetang on the inflammatory response, contact hypersensitivity (CH), and rosette forming capacity of spleen cells. The effects of Jiyutang with Fructus Immaturus Ponciri on the inflammatory response were evaluated by measuring the production of such reactive oxygen intermediate(ROI) as $O_2^-$ and $H_{2}O_2$ in the peritoneal neutrophils and macrophages. The effects of Jiyutang with Fructus Immaturus Ponciri on the CH were evaluated by checking the ear swelling response against dinitrofluorobenzene(DNFB). The administration of Jiyutang with Fructus Immaturus Ponciri on the mouse decreased the amount of ROI in both neutrophils and macrophages. Jiyutang with Fructus Immaturus Ponciri depressed CH without affecting the rosette forming capacity of spleen cells. The results of this study showed that Jiyutang with Fructus Immaturus Ponciri might have anti-inflammatory effects by decreasing the amounts of ROI in the phagocytes and suppressing the CH, without affecting the rosette-forming capacity of spleen cells.
