Male accessory glands and ejaculatory duct of Drosophila melanogaster are reproductive organs which synthesize secretory seminal proteins. Several products of these organs involved in egg laying, receptivity, and sperm stability or storage were isolated from their lumens. Despite their secretory process play an important role, exocytosis pathway in these organs is not well known. In the present study, we characterized secretory protein profiles and determined their secretory mechanisms. Eight accessory gland secretory proteins and two ejaculatory duct secretory proteins were detected in their lumens. All these proteins were constitutively synthesized in these organs and secreted to their lumens. Secretion of newly synthesized proteins initiated at about 1 h after synthesis, and reached the peak at 4 h after synthesis. It seems that secretion of the proteins may occur via constitutive exocytosis pathway.

활동기와 동면기중 Rana dybowoskii Guenther의 뇌하수체 전엽을 전자현미경적으로 비교한 결과 7 가지의 cell type를 구분할 수 있었으며 이 cell type 중 type 5 에서 많은 차이를 관찰할 수 있었다. Cell type 1 : 분비 과립의 크기는 $375{\sim}687m{\mu}$ 정도였고 모양은 완전 구형이었다. Cell type 2 : 분비과립의 크기는 $250{\sim}437m{\mu}$ 정도였으나 모양은 비교적 다양하였다. Cell type 3 : 분비과립의 크기는 $125{\sim}187m{\mu}$ 정도고 모양은 난형내지 rod 형이었다. Cell type 4 : electron density 가 가장 낮으며 과립의 밀도는 제일 높았다. 모양은 매우 다양하였으며 가끔 대과립도 관찰되었다. 분리과립의 크기는 대개 $210{\sim}420m{\mu}$ 정도이다. Cell type 5 : electron density는 cell type 4 와 유사하나 분비과립의 윤곽은 cell type 4 보다 훨씬 뚜렷하였다. 과립의 밀도는 cell type 4 보다 낮으며 모양은 cell type 4와 비슷하나 rod 형이 많다. 분비과립의 크기는 $200{\sim}863m{\mu}$이다. Cell type 6 : type 2와 비슷하나 cytoplasm 의 electron density가 매우 낮은 light cell 이다. 분비 과립의 크기는 대개 $232{\sim}316m{\mu}$이다. Cell type 7 : 어떤 분비 과립도 함유하고 있지 않은 미분화된 세포이다. 활동기와 동면기의 차이점은 type 5 에서 관찰 할 수 있었다. 즉 활동기에는 분바과립이 매우 발달하였으나 동면기에는 매우 감소되며 cytoplasm에는 크고 작은 vacuole로 가득 차있다.

Histochemical characteristic and ultrastructure of the mantle of the granular ark, Tegillarca granosa are described using light and electron microscopy. The mantle of the clam is composed of outer epidermis, connective tissue and inner epidermis. The simple epidermis consists of supporting cells, ciliated cells of the two types and secretory cells of three types. Connective tissue is composed of matrix, collagen fibers, muscular fibers and hemolymph sinus. The columnar supporting cell is covered with microvilli on the free surface. Ciliated cells are distributed in the inner epidermis with numerous cilia, microvilli and tubular mitochondria. Secretory cells could be classified into three types (A, B and C) with morphological features of the secretory granules. Type A secretory cells contains secretory granules with fibrous materials of high electron density Type B secretory cells are more abundant than the other cells, and contains secretory granules of membrane-bounded and high electron density. Secretory granules of the type C cells are divided into fibrous core layer and homogeneous peripheral layer. Type B secretory cells are abundant in the both epidermis of marginal mantle, while large number of type A and C secretory cells are evident in the outer epidermis of the central and umbonal mantle. This result showed that the outer and the inner epidermis of the mantle are related with shell formation and cleaning of the mantle cavity, respectively.

A histochemical and ultrastructural study on the epithelia of some selected digestive tracks such as esophagus, crop, intestine of a land snail N. samarangae was carried out during the period of June 1997 to may 1998. The epithelium of digestive tract are simple columnar epithelium and consisted of five types of columnar cells. Type 1 cell which is majority in number has a brush border with microvilli on the free surface of the cell and contains numerous secretory granules supposed to be neutral mucopolysaccharide. Type 2 cell, elongated conical in shape, is rarely found in the epithelium. This cell also has a brush border with microvilli on its free surface and contains well developed rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, and secretory granules in various electron densities. This cell seems to produce both of acid and neutral mucopolysaccharides. Type 3 cell, which is morphologically similar to the Type 1 cell, has microvilli and cilia on the free surface and exists in group only in the limited regions of the intestine. Type 4 cell, typical goblet cell containing secretory granules in high electron density. Type 5 cell rarely found in the digestive tract. This cell contain inconspicuous materials.

In this experiment, oocytes were collected from goat ovaries available in slaughterhouse by follicle puncture method. Morphologically culturable type of oocytes which having compact, multilayered cumulus granulosa cell complex and evenly granulated cytoplasm, was separated under a stereozoom microscope. Oocytes were washed thoroughly in maturation medium containing TCM-199, $1{\mu}g/ml$ estradiol-$17{\beta}$, 0.5 ${\mu}g/ml$ FSH, $100{\mu}g/ml$ LH, 3 mg/ml BSA and 10% estrus goat serum. Washed oocytes were cultured into maturation medium on granulosa cell monolayer. Culture plate was then kept into $CO_2$ incubator at $38{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, maximum humidity and 5% $CO_2$ for 18 h. After maturation the oocytes were washed thoroughly with maturation medium containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) without serum and BSA and further cultured for 12 h for secretory proteins of oocytes. PVA medium was collected, pooled and concentrated by 5000 cut off centrisart. Secretory proteins were separated on 12.5% SDS-PAGE. A total number of 3.41 oocytes per ovary were obtained and 2.17 culturable oocytes per ovary were cultured into maturation medium. After 18 h of maturation, 4,567 oocytes (1.82 oocytes per ovary) were further cultured into serum and BSA free PVA medium for its secretory proteins. Four secretory proteins of oocytes with approximately molecular weight of 45, 55, 65 and 95 kDa were obtained on SDS-PAGE in silver staining and three proteins with approximately molecular weight of 45, 55 and 65 kDa in Coomassie brilliant blue staining. In conclusion, four secretory proteins with approximately molecular weight of 45, 55, 65 and 95 kDa was obtained from in vitro cultured oocytes of goats.

Prolactin has been reported to be present in the tear film of humans and prolactin-like immunoreactivity has been detected by immunofluorescence in acinar cells of the lacrimal glands of humans and rats. The present study was aimed at clarifying the intracellular distribution of the prolactin-like immunoreactivity, using the electron microscope immunogold technique. The lacrimal gland acinar cells have two types of secretory granules: 1) Secretory granules containing flocculent materials irregularly shaped and are often coalesced. 2) Secretory granules are fairly round and contain homogenous materials of a moderate electron density. The density of the granular content varies even within a single cell. We found prolactin-like reactivity in secretory granules, some smaller cytosolic vesicles, Golgi cisternae and nuclei in acinar cells from intact glands of rat. Our present results are consistent with the conclusion that prolactin is present in lacrimal cells. The presence of prolactin reactivity in the nucleus suggests that prolactin may be a regulatory factor modulating gene expression.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the irradiation effects on the secretory granules of the rat submandibular gland acinar cell. For this study, Sprague-Dawley strain rats were irradiated to their neck region with the dose of 5Gy and l0Gy by 6MV X-radiation, and sacrificed on the experimental periods after irradiation. The authors observed the ultrastructural changes of the secretory granules of the rat submandibular gland acinar cell under a trasmission electron microscope. The results were as follows: In the transmission electron microscopic examination, secretory granules were blurred in limiting membrane on the 3hours groups after irradiation. And they showed decrease in number, irregularities in shape and distributional pattern, and inhomogeneous internal electron density on the Iday and 3days groups. After then, these changes were recovered in shape and distributional pattern on the 14days groups, and changes of internal electron density and limiting membrane were recovered on the 28days groups after irradiation. Among the intracellular organelles, rough endoplasmic reticulum was scattered, but golgi complex was not changed. And such pathologic changes were earlier and more prominent in 10Gy irradiated groups than in 5Gy irradiated groups.

Secretory meningioma is a distinct subtype of meningioma. We describe the cytologic features of a secretory meningioma on squash preparations, in comparision with other cytologic mimickers. A 54-year-old woman presented with hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, and headache for seven years. A brain MRI study revealed a 4.5cm sized mass in the cerebellopontine angle, which showed homogenous signal intensity in T2-weighted image. The intraoperative squash smear showed some well-defined, thin rimmed intracytoplasmic inclusions, containing a finely granular eosinophilic core among less cohesive meningiomatous cells. Histologic sections revealed a meningothelial meningioma with scattered inclusions, with periodic acid-Schiff, carcinoembryonic antigen, and cytokeratin positivity. Identification of characteristic intracytoplasmic inclusions is helpful for diagnosing secretory meningiomas. On squash preparations, differential diagnoses included tumors with inclusions or cytoplasmic vacuolizations, such as metastatic mammary infiltrating ductal carcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and clear cell ependymoma, oligodendroglioma, hemangioblastoma, chordoma, and other variants of meningiomas (clear cell, xanthomatous, microcytic, and chordoid variants). In addition, the possibilities of glioma with eosinophilic granular body, and metastatic tumors from mammary infiltrating ductal carcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma in meningioma should be considered.
