This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of gossypol injection spermatogenesis of mice. Gossypol was injected into the stroma of testes(TS) and the doses of gossypol injected were 5, 10 and 15mg per kg of body weights, respectively. The number of sperm and the weight of testes were gradually reduced(P<0.01) from 2 to 4 weeks after gossypol treatment in all groups of mice treated with gossypol, compared with the control group. The rates of malformation(loss of proacrosome, damage of midpiece and breaking of tail) of sperm were significantly(P<0.01) increased at 2 and 3 weeks after the injection of 10 or 15mg of gossypol. However, the weight of testes and the number of normal sperm were gradually increased and the malformation rate of sperm was decreased between 4 and 6 weeks after injection of 5mg of gossypol. The results of this experiment indicated that probably ireeversible suppression of spermatogenesis could be brought about easily and immediately by the single injection of gossypol into TS.

The fine structure of the inoculated Theileria sergenti on the splenectomized Korean native cattle was observed to delineate the morphological. characteristics with transmission and scanning electron microscope. The cattle was inoculated with 1.5ml cryopreserved stabilate ($5.63{\times}10^6/{\mu}l$, PE 3%). At peak parasitemia (40%), infected blood was collected, washed and then T sergenti was observed. Scanning electron micrograph of the erythrocytes infected with T sergenti appeared various irregular from involving specific swelling, and abnormal projections like acantocyte, echinocyte and knizocyte. Transmission electron microscopic studies of T sergenti showed that piroplasm possess intracytoplasmic food vacuole, rhoptries and tubule. Merozoite, $0.6{\sim}1.81{\mu}m$ to $0.4{\sim}1.21{\mu}m$ in length, surrounded by 10~15nm thickness of pellicula. which is surrounded by a single unit membrane. Various size of veil which was observed in stroma of erythrocytes infected with T sergenti, located at the proximate part of the merozoite. The merozoite multiplied by means of binary fission so that two and more oval-like merozoites in the stroma of infected erythrocyte could be observed.

This study examined the effects of quercetin on corneal opacity caused by corneal edema by suppressing the damage on corneal endothelial cell, which was induced by mitomycin-C (MMC). In the MMC-treated group, the number of keratocytes was noticeably fewer compared to that of other groups. Although this group showed normal amount of fiber in the corneal stroma, the thickness was shown to be very thick and the alignment of the corneal endothelial cells that worked as the barrier against aqueous humor was irregular. According to such results, it was known that corneal opacity induced by MMC is not caused by proliferation of keratocytes, but by corneal edema triggered by the infiltration of aqueous humor. In the MMC+quercetin and quercetin+MMC-treated groups, the number of keratocytes was higher and polymorphonuclear leukocytes infilteration was lower significantly compared to that of the MMC-treated group. Although the amounts of fiber and endothelioid cell arrangement were normal, there was more space observed in the corneal stroma. Nonetheless, these groups showed significantly lower stromal thickness compared to that of the MMC group. In conclusion, quercetin has the effect on the reduction of corneal opacity caused by corneal edema that work MMC-induced damage to the corneal endothelial cells.

The present study was conducted to investigate the structural changes in rat cornea. Sixty eyes from one-day-old uneyed rats, fourty eyes from 4-weeks-old rats, and foully eyes from 10-weeks-old adult rats were used. With the increase of age, the epithelial layer was thickened by the addition of new successive cellular layers. Then, the new-born rat's epithelial cells formed a pentagonal shape, and the quality of decidual cells showed a high electron-density, although the boundary between cells was distinctive. The newly produced cells showed a low electron-density so that there was the distinctive difference between light and darkness. In Bowman's layer, collagen fibrils demonstrate a regularly arranged structure along with the age. In stroma's layer, the density of keratocytes was decreased and thereby Progressively flattened during the development. The collagenous layer of the adult rats was more distinctive than that of the new-born rats in a form of parallel alignment running vertically and horizontally.

목적 : 각막실질 내 다발 구조로 이루어진 콜라겐섬유의 크기와 규칙적인 배열은 투명성과 매우 밀접한 상관성을 가지고 있다. 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 배열구조 및 콜라겐섬유층 두께에 따른 광투과율의 변화를 확인하고자 하였다. 방법 : 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어인 OptiFDTD로 각막실질 내 콜라겐섬유를 정육각형, 육각형, 사각형 및 자유형으로 각각 배열하였고 이에 따른 광투과율을 분석하였다. 사각형 배열에 대하여 시뮬레이션 공간상에 있는 콜라겐섬유의 개수가 동일할 때 밀도변화에 따른 광투과율을 확인하고 콜라겐섬유의 개수와 밀도가 변화할 때 광투과율을 조사하였다. 결과 : 콜라겐섬유의 개수가 동일할 때 사각형, 정육각형, 자유형 및 육각형의 배열구조 순서로 밀도가 작아지고, 섬유층의 두께가 두꺼워진다. 배열구조를 변화시켜 광투과율을 측정한 결과 동일한 위치의 검출기에서 측정된 광투과율은 배열구조에 관계없이 거의 유사하였다. 검출기 D0, D1, D2 및 D3에서 각각 사각형, 육각형과 사각형, 정육각형 및 정육각형 배열구조에서 최대투과율로 나타났으며, 육각형, 자유형, 육각형과 사각형 및 사각형 배열구조에서 최소 투과율로 나타났다. 하지만, 최대 투과율과 최소 투과율의 차이는 1% 이내로 거의 유사하였다. 콜라겐섬유의 개수가 동일할 때 사각형 배열구조에서 밀도변화에 따른 광투과율은 섬유층 두께가 증가할수록 광투과율은 감소하였다. 또한, 두께가 증가하면서 콜라겐섬유의 개수가 감소하였을 때 광투과율이 더 많이 감소하였다. 결론 : 콜라겐 배열구조가 변화하여도 광투과율은 배열구조와 관계없이 거의 유사하게 나타났다. 하지만, 배열구조의 변화에 따라 콜라겐섬유층의 두께가 변화하였고, 두께가 증가할수록 광투과율이 감소하였다. 즉, 광투과율은 배열구조보다는 콜라겐섬유층의 두께와 더 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

The challenging task of classifying the fibro-osseous(FO) lesions has been previously attempted but only in the past 15 years has the entire spectrum of diversity been appreciated. For the clinicians, it is hard to clearly diagnose the lesions before operations. The purpose of this study was to review the literature about fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws and to analyse our clinical cases. As the results of the review of clinical features, radiography and histopathologic findings of sixteen cases of fibro-osseous lesions, we could elucidate diagnostic aids for treatment of benign FO lesion in jaws. Six patients involving fibrous dysplasia complained the facial swelling and facial asymmetry. The radiographic features of the lesions showed ground-glass radiopacity mostly and the histologic findings showed typically Chinese character-shaped trabeculae without osteoblastic rimming in the fibrous stroma. Six patients with ossifying fibroma were notified as swollen buccal cheek state. Their radiographic findings showed cortical expanded radiolucent lesion with sclerotic defined border, which was contrast to the normal adjacent bone. The lesions showed variant radiolucent lesions. Histological findings were revealed as cellular fibrous stroma with woven bones, variable patterns of calcifications. Three patients with cemental dysplasia didn't have specific complaints. Well circumscribed radiopaque lesions on mandibular molar area were observed. Cementum-like ossicles with fibrous stroma were found on microscopic findings. A osteoblastoma case with jaw pain was found. The radiographic feature was a mottled, dense radiopacity with osteolytic border on mandibular molar area. Under microscopy trabecule of osteoid with vascular network were predominantly found. Numerous osteoblast cells with woven bone were found. These clinical, radiographic and microscopic findings of benign fibrous-osseous lesions would suggest diagnostic criteria for each entity of FO lesions.

포배의 착상은 구조 및 기능적으로 준비된 자궁내막의 체계적 반응에 의하여 진행되는데, 자궁 내막에서 엄격히 통제된 급격한 세포의 증식과 분화가 진행된다. 구강 상피세포암의 억제자로 알려진 Doc-1이 자궁에서 스테로이드 호르몬에 의하여 발현되며 세포 증식을 조절할 것으로 추정되어 왔으나, 그 정확한 발현 변화에 대한 이해가 불충분하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 체외에서 탈락막 반응 모델 확립을 통하여 세포의 증식과 분화 진행과정에서 Doc-1의 발현 조절기작을 알아보고자 하였다. 생쥐 자궁내막을 이용한 탈락막 반응은 기질세포를 순수하게 분리하여 배양하면서 프로게스테론과 에스트로겐을 함유한 유도 배양액으로 유도하였다. 탈락막 유도 과정에서 배양 24시간까지 세포의 증식이 유의하게 증가하였고 그 후에는 감소하였다. 한편, 탈락막 세포로의 분화는 분화 유도 48시간에 거의 모든 세포에서 진행되었다. 또한 Doc-1 단백질의 발현이 분화 유도 시간과 비례적으로 증가하였고 탈락막 세포에 위치하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 착상이 진행되는 자궁내막에서 Doc-1의 발현이 스테로이드 호르몬과 탈락막 분화와 연계되어 조절되고, Doc-1 단백질이 탈락막 세포의 세포분열 억제를 유도하는 것을 제안할 수 있다.

Herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK) is an inflammatory disorder induced by HSV-1 infection and characterized by T cell-dependent destruction of corneal tissues. It is not known what triggers $CD4^+$ T cell migration into the stroma of HSV-1-infected corneas. The keratocyte is a fibroblast-like cell that can function as an antigen-presenting cell in the mouse cornea by expressing MHC class II and costimulatory molecules after HSV-1 infection. We hypothesized that chemokines produced by stromal keratocytes are involved in $CD4^+$ T cell infiltration into the cornea. We found that keratocytes produce several cytokines and chemokines, including MCP-1, RANTES, and T cell activation (TCA)-3. HSV-1 infection increased the production of MCP-1 and RANTES by keratocytes, and these acted as chemoattractants for HSV-1-primed $CD4^+$ T cells expressing CCR2 and CCR5.

Expression of MCP-1 in the corneal stroma was confirmed in vivo. Finally, when HSV-1-primed $CD4^+$ T cells were adoptively transferred into wild type and MCP-1-deficient mice that had been sublethally irradiated to minimize chemokine production from immune cells, infiltration of $CD4^+$ T cells was markedly reduced in the MCP-1-deficient mice, suggesting that it is the MCP-1 from HSV-1-infected keratocytes that attracts $CD4^+$ T cells into the cornea.

사과과실(Malus Pumila Mill var. Fugi)을 preclimacteric단계에 수확하여 380mmHg, $20^{\circ}C$의 조건에서 감압저장하고 climacteric rise의 각 단계별로 전자현미경적으로 관찰한 결과, 사과저장 중 감압처리가 엽록체의 초미세구조변화에 미치는 영향과 이로 인한 저장기간 연장효과를 규명하였다. 760mmHg, $20^{\circ}C$의 조건에서 저장한 상압저장 과실은 25일간의 저장으로 이미 막투과성의 변화로 인한 공포화현상으로 인하여 엽록체의 초미세구조에 상당한 변화가 일어나 stroma부위의 전자밀도가 낮아지고, lamellar system이 와해되었으며, 50일간의 저장에서는 광범위한 breakdown현상으로 인하여 stroma부위의 전자밀도상실, lamella system상실 등의 초미세구조변화가 매우 심하게 나타나 저장성이 상실되었다. 한편 380mmHg, $20^{\circ}C$의 조건에서 저장한 감압저장과실은 상압저장과실에 비하여 엽록체의 초미세구조변화가 크게 억제되었다. 특히 thlakoid막은 climacteric rise가 진전되어 공포화현상이 심하게 나타나서 lamella구조가 완전히 와해되었을 경우에도 비교적 건전한 상태로 유지되어 저장기간이 2개월정도 연장되었는데, 저장 중의 감압처리로 인하여 막투과성변화가 억제되어 사과과실의 숙성 및 연화가 지연됨으로써 저장기간이 연장된 것으로 판단되었다.
