  • 말쥐치 등육 골낙근을 $0^{\circ}C$로 유지하면서 사후경과중 선도의 변화에 따라 단백질의 조성과 단백질의 아미노산 조성 및 유리아미노산의 조성 등을 분석 검토하였다. 말쥐치의 육은 약 $20\%$의 단백질을 함유하고 있었으며, 이 단백질은 근원질단백질 $31\%$, 근원섬유단백질 $55\%$, 세포내잔사단백질 $10\%$, 그리고 기질단백질 $4\%$로 구성되어 있었다. 근원질단백질과 근원섬유단백질은 사후선도의 변화와 더불어 감소하여 갔고, 세포내잔사단백질은 상대적으로 증가하는 관계를 보였다. 근원섬유단백질과 세포내잔사단백질은 전기영동과 densitometry에 의하여 분석한 결과, 근원섬유단백질의 약 $70\%$가 액틴과 미요신, 약 $20\%$가 조절단백질, 그리고 $10\%$전후의 미지단백질로 구성되어 있었다. 세포내잔사단백질은 그 대부분이 근원섬유단백질을 구성하는 단백질로 이루어져 있었다. 한편, 사후경과와 더불어 근원섬유단백질을 구성하는 단백질중 트로포닌-T, 트로포닌-C 및 미요신의 light chain 2는 각각 감소하는 추세를 보였다. 죽인 직후의 말쥐치 육단백질의 아미노산 조성은 다른 어육의 그것과 비슷하였으나, 트?토판과 함황아미노산은 보다 부족하였다. 휘발성 염기질소양에비추어 부패초기에 해당하는 사후 18일이 경과했을 때는 프롤린과 시스테인이 두드러지게 줄었으며, 로이신과 이소로이신 및 페닐알라닌은 조금 증가하였다. 말쥐치육의 유리아미노산중에는 타우린이 특히 많이 함유되어 있었으며, 알라닌과 글리신 및 리신도 비교적 많았다. 사후 18일이 경과했을 때는 타우린, 히스티딘, 발린 및 메치오닌은 증가하였으나 리신, 아르기닌, 아스파르트산, 스레오닌, 세린, 로이신 및 이소로이신은 반대로 감소하였다.

  • 전립선 초음파영상은 전립선암, 전립선비대증, 전립선염을 진단하고 전립선암의 생검과 전립선비대에서 전립선 크기 확인 등을 위해서 사용된다. 전립선비대증은 노인 남성의 가장 흔한 질병 중의 하나이다. 전립선은 주변구역, 중심구역, 이행구역과 전방 섬유근 간질부분 4개 구획으로 나누어진다. 전립선비대증은 조직학적으로 전립선 이행구역에서 결절성 증식을 동반한 요도주위의 진행성 과증식이 특징으로 이 결절로 인한 요도 폐쇄를 야기함에 따라 하부요로 증상을 유발한다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 정상 전립선 이행구역 영상과 전립선비대 이행구역 영상에 대한 컴퓨터 알고리즘을 이용하여 정량적인 분석을 하였다. GLCM을 적용하여 정상영상 60증례와 전립선비대증영상 60증례을 분석영역($50{\times}50$ 픽셀)으로 설정하고, 각 영상에서 Autocorrelation, Contrast, Cluster Prominence, Entropy, Max Probability, Sum average 6가지 파라미터를 비교하여 분석하였다. 결과적으로 Autocorrelation, Cluster Prominence, Entropy, Sum Average 4개의 파라미터에서는 병변의 질감 검출 효율이 92-98%로 높게 나왔다. 이에 전립선 이행구역의 결절성 증식 변화를 정량적인 영상분석으로 확인 할 수 있었다. 향후 전립선비대증 진단에 있어 2차적인 수단으로 가능할 것으로 기대되며, 다양한 전립선 초음파 영상에 있어 기초 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

  • Though many genetic and epigenetic alterations have been identified in hamster oral carcinogenesis model, there is no information about the possible role of transforming growth factor related with oral cancer. The purpose of this paper was to find the expression patterns of transforming growth factor alpha and beta during the stages of complete oral carcinogenesis model in hamster. 0.5% 9, 10-dimethyl-1, 2-benzanthracene(DMBA) in mineral oil was topically applied to the buccal pouch of 75 hamster three times a week during the experimental periods. The experimental animals were subdivided into two groups of control and experiment. Only the mineral oil was applied to the control group. 0.5% DMBA in mineral oil was applied to the experimental groups of 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 weeks. The expression of the $TGF-{\alpha}$ and $TGF-{\beta}$ protein were evaluated by the distribution and intensity of positive cells during the carcinogenesis using the immunohistochemical study. The following results were obtained ; 1. The buccal pouch epithelium of hamster was histologically changed to the dysplasia at 6, 8, 10 weeks, carcinoma in situ at 12 weeks, and squamous cell carcinoma at 14 weeks. 2. The expression of the $TGF-{\alpha}$ was restricted to the parabasal and basal layers of the normal and dysplastic mucosa, but those positive cells were extended to the spinous layers of the epithelium in the carcinoma. 3. The degree of $TGF-{\alpha}$ expression was markedly decreased in the carcinoma at 16, 18, 20. The strong positive staining in the center of cancer islands and weak positive staining in periphery of tumor were seen at the stage of squamous cell carcinoma. 4. The positive index of the $TGF-{\alpha}$ had a tendency to increase with DMBA- applied time. There was a statistically significant difference between 12, 18, 20 experimental group and control group (p<0.05). 5. The expression of the $TGF-{\beta}$ was shown at the cytoplasm of all control and experimental groups, and the parabasal and basal layers of the normal and dyslastic mucosa, but it was shown at the basal layers of the epithelium in the carcinoma. 6. $TGF-{\beta}$ was expressed diffusely at 16, 18, 20 experimental group. The strong positive staining in the center of cancer islands and positive staining in periphery of tumor were seen at the stage of squamous cell carcinoma. From the above findings, the expression of $TGF-{\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ in oral carcinogenesis model seems to have two formal stages, the first being an overexpression step as reaction to uncontrolled growth and the second being one in which external protein accumulate in the surrounding stroma and intracytoplasm. Overexpression of $TGF-{\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ may have important cooperative roles for the promotion of cancer and factor of prognosis.

  • 조직공학에서 생체재료의 생체적합성과 조직재생능력은 생체재료가 생체에 적합한지를 판단하는 가장 중요한 요소이다. 콜라젠은 인체조직을 이루는 주된 단백질이고, GAGs은 조직의 미세환경을 결정짓는 주요한 요소로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 1형 콜라젠 스폰지를 탈수 열처리 (A군)하고 EDC로 가교결합한 것 (B군)과 CS를 첨가하여 EDC로 가교결합한 군 (C군)의 스폰지 형태의 콜라젠 지지체을 제조하였다. 제작된 콜라젠 스폰지를 3 mm의 디스크 형태로 토끼 각막의 실질부위에 주머니형태로 이식하였다. 8주 동안 각막의 신생혈관 생성, 혼탁, 지지체의 투명도 정도를 확인하고, 2주, 4주, 8주 후에 적출하여 염증과 각막 섬유모세포의 이동을 확인하였다. 모든 군에서 염증, 신생혈관 생성, 혼탁은 일어나지 않았다. 그러나 CS가 첨가된 콜라젠 스폰지에 섬유모세포의 이동이 많았고, 이식물의 투명도가 증가하였다. 1형 콜라젠 스폰지는 각막 간질에의 생체적합성이 뛰어나 각막 간질로의 대체 가능성이 크고, CS가 첨가된 1형 콜라젠 스폰지는 조직공학적 생인공각막의 재구성에 큰 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

  • Objective: Although chronic non-bacterial prostatitis is a common disease, it is very difficult to treat effectively. Lygodium japonicum has traditionally been used in treatment of urinary tract inflammation and voiding disturbance. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects and action mechanism of Lygodium japonicum in the rat model of non-bacterial prostatitis induced by castration and testosterone treatment. Methods: Five-month-old rats were treated with $17\beta-estradiol$ after castration for induction of experimental non-bacterial prostatitis, which is similar to human chronic prostatitis in histopathological profiles. Lygodium japonicum and testosterone were administered as an experimental specimen and a positive control, respectively. The prostates were evaluated by histopathological parameters including the epithelial score and epithelio-stromal ratio for glandular damage, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) labeling index for cyto-proliferation and a TUNEL (deoxyuridine triphosphate biotin nick end-labeling) assay for cell apoptosis. Results: While prostates of control rats revealed severe acinar gland atrophy and stromal proliferation, the rats treated with Lygodium japonicum showed a lesser range of tissue damage. Epithelial score was improved in Lygodium japonicum than that of the control (P<0.05). The epithelio-stromal ratio was lower in Lygodium japonicum when compared to that of the control (P<0.05). Although there was no difference in PCNA and TUNEL positive cells of the glandular epithelia, we found an decreased number of PCNA positive cell and concurrent increase of TUNEL positive cells in the stroma of Lygodium japonicum treated rats (P<0.01). Conclusions: These findings suggest that Lygodium japonicum may protect the glandular epithelial cells and also inhibit stromal proliferation in association with suppression of cyto-proliferation and stimulation of apoptosis. We concluded that Lygodium japonicum may be a useful remedy agent for treating the chronic non-bacterial prostatitis.

  • Plastid proteomics are essential organelles present in virtually all cells in plants and green algae. Plastids are responsible for the synthesis and storage of key molecules required for the basic architecture and functions of plant cells. The proteome of plastid, and in particular of chloroplast, have received significant amounts of attention in recent years. Various fractionation and mass spectrometry (MS) techniques have been applied to catalogue the chloroplast proteome and its sub-organelles compartments. To better understanding the function of the lumenal sub-organelles within the thylakoid network, we have carried out a systematical analysis and identification of the lumenal proteins in the thylakoid of wheat by using Tricine-SDS-PAGE, and LTQ-ESI-FTICR mass spectrometry followed by SWISS-PROT database searching. We isolation and fractionation these membrane from fully developed wheat leaves using a combination of differential and gradient centrifugation couple to high speed ultra-centrifuge. After collecting all proteins to eliminate possible same proteins, we estimated that there are 407 different proteins including chloroplast, chloroplast stroma, lumenal, and thylakoid membrane proteins excluding 20 proteins, which were identified in nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondria. A combination of these three programs (PSORT, TargetP, TMHMM, and TOPPRED) was found to provide a useful tool for evaluating chloroplast localization, transit peptide, transmembranes, and also could reveal possible alternative processing sites and dual targeting. Finally, we report also sub-cellular location specific protein interaction network using Cytoscape software, which provides further insight into the biochemical pathways of photosynthesis. The present work helps understanding photosynthesis process in wheat at the molecular level and provides a new overview of the biochemical machinery of the thylakoid in wheat.

  • The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of dental varnish applied with fluoride to dental pulp by comparing the groups of commercial fluoride product $Duraphat^{(R)}$, $Copalite^{(R)}$ after 1 Mole sodium fluoride application, Cavity $Sealer^{(R)}$ after 1 Mole sodium fluoride application with the control group not applied the dental varnish. After Cl V Cavity form was prepared on the buccal surface of the crowns with the total 75 teeth by using 5 dogs, average weight of 13.2Kg, dental varnish and silver analgram were placed. This study was performed by 3, 7, 21, 28, 56 days each. The dogs were sacrificed to extract the teeth, cut at the apical one fourth, and prepared histologic examination by fixing with 10% buffered formalin perfusion at sacrifice and decalcification in 10% nitric acid. The specimens were embedded in paraffin, stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin, and serially sectioned with 6 ${\mu}$width each. Microscopic evaluation of serial sections at the various time periods among the different groups revealed the following results: 1. In the control group, the marked change of the odontoblastic layer was showed on the 3 days group, and it was decreased gradually. Healing response, such as hyperplasia, was seen on the 28 days group and it was continued to the 56 days group. 2. In the experimental group with Cavity $Sealer,^{(R)}$ a slight hemorrhage was seen in the odontoblastic layer on the 3 days group, and the healing response with the hyperplasia of the odontoblast was showed on the 21, 28 days group. It was completely healed on the 56 days group. 3. In the Duraphat R group, a slight hemorrhage showed on the 3 days group and the disarrangement of the Odontoblastic layer was seen on the 7, 21, 28 days group. Odontoblasts showed hyperplasia on the 28 days group, and healed completely on the 56 days group. 4. In the $Copalite^{(R)}$ group, the 7 days group showed remarkable hemorrhage in the odontoblastic layer and stroma, and also it showed reticular degeneration with the disarrangement of the odontoblastic layer and congestion. Each group showed disarrangement. Healing ability of this group was greater than that of the control group, but less than that of the $Duraphat^{(R)}$ and Cavity $Sealer^{(R)}$ group.

  • Background: To evaluate the pathological characteristics of invasive margins in early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinomas and their association with other clinicopathological features including clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: Patients with FIGO stage IB-IIA cervical squamous cell carcinomas who received surgical treatment and had available follow-up information were identified. Their histological slides were reviewed for prognostic variables including tumor size, grade, extent of invasion, lymphovascular invasion, involvement of vaginal margin or parametrium, and lymph node metastasis. The characteristics of invasive margins including invasive pattern (closed, finger-like, or spray-like type), degree of stromal desmoplasia, and degree of peritumoral inflammatory reaction were evaluated along the entire invasive fronts of tumours. Associations between the characteristics of invasive margins and other clinicopathological variables and disease-free survival were assessed. Results: A total of 190 patients were included in the study with a median follow-up duration of 73 months. Tumour recurrence was observed in 18 patients (9%). Spray-like invasive pattern was significantly more associated as compared with closed or finger-like invasive pattern (p=0.005), whereas the degree of stromal desmoplasia or peritumoral inflammatory reaction was not. Low degree of peritumoral inflammatory reaction appeared linked with lymph node metastasis (p=0.021). In multivariate analysis, a spray-like invasive pattern was independently associated with marked stromal desmoplasia (p=0.013), whilst marked desmoplasia was also independently associated with low inflammatory reactions (p=0.009). Furthermore, low inflammatory reactions were independently associated with positive margins (p=0.022) and lymphovascular invasion (p=0.034). The patients with spray-like invasive pattern had a significantly lower disease-free survival compared with those with closed or finger-like pattern (p=0.004). Conclusions: There is a complex interaction between cancer tissue at the invasive margin and changes in surrounding stroma. A spray-like invasive pattern has a prognostic value in patients with early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
