  • 청설모(Sciurus vulgaris corea)의 췌장에 분포하는 glucagon 및 somatostatin 세포의 분포와 그들 분비과립의 특징을 밝히기 위해 면역조직화학적 및 면역전자현미경적 방법으로 관찰하였다. Glucagon 면역반응세포는 주로 췌도의 주변부에 분포하였고, 때로는 외분비부에서 관찰되었다. 이 세포의 분비과립은 직경이 240~320nm였으며, 전자밀도가 높은 core를 전자밀도가 낮은 halo가 둘러싸고 특히 gold particle들은 전자밀도가 높은 core에 강한 반응을 보였다. Somatostatin면역반응세포는 췌도의 주변부를 따를 면역반응이 아주 약한 세포들로 산재하였으며 또한 외분비에서 단독 혹은 소집단으로 관찰되었다. 이 세포의 분비과립은 전자밀도가 낮고 직경이 250~275nm였으며, gold particle는 분비과립에 중등도로 고른 반응을 보였다.

  • Although the epiglottis plays a vital role in deglutition, histological studies of the epiglottis and surrounding ligaments associated with swallowing dysfunction are limited. Therefore, we performed histological observations to clarify age-related changes in the morphological characteristics of the epiglottis and surrounding structures. Tissue samples comprising the epiglottis and surrounding structures were collected from corpses that were both orally fed and tubefed during their lifetimes. Following hematoxylin and eosin, Elastica Van Gieson, and immunohistochemical staining procedures, the chondrocytes, connective tissue, and glandular tissue were observed under the epiglottis epithelium, and intervening adipose tissue was observed in the surrounding area. Fatty degeneration of acinar cells was also observed in the glandular tissue, possibly because of aging. Bundles of elastic fibers were present around the vascular wall in the peri-epiglottic ligament, but some were reduced. Furthermore, large amounts of collagen fibers ran toward and through the cartilage, whereas the mesh-like elastic fibers stopped in front of the cartilage. Microfibrils considered to be oxytalan fibers, which are thinner and shorter than elastic fibers, were observed around the vascular wall and in the fiber bundles. Age-related changes included connective tissue fibrosis shown by the large amount of collagen fibers, atrophy of salivary glands, and an accompanying increase in adipose tissue. Regarding stretchability and elasticity, the elastic fibers may have an auxiliary function for laryngeal elevation during deglutition. This suggests that disuse atrophy of the laryngeal organs with or without oral intake might reduce the amount of elastic fiber in older adults.

  • Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 1 (SPINK1) is a gene expressed from pancreatic acinar cell which its mutation is known to be associated with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and pancreatic cancer. We report a case of a 47-years-old female with nausea and weight loss with yellow discoloration of skin. Initial imaging and endoscopic study led us to an impression of chronic pancreatitis with pancreatic cancer with common bile-duct dilation. Biopsy result was confirmed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and additional imaging revealed lymph node and bone metastasis. Our genetic analysis revealed 194+2T>C mutation of SPINK1. Biliary obstruction was successfully decompressed by stent insertion and underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Although there is accumulating evidence of association between SPINK1 mutation and CP, the relationship between SPINK1 mutation and pancreatic cancer in CP patient is an emerging concept. Genetic analysis should be considered in patients with young age especially when diagnosed with both CP and pancreatic cancer.

  • Objective : Although chronic non-bacterial prostatitis is a common disease, it is very difficult to treat effectively. Lygodium japonicum has been traditionally 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. 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 diminished range of tissue damage. Epithelial score was improved in the Lygodium japonicum group over that of the control (P<0.05). The epithelio-stromal ratio was lower in the Lygodiutn japonicum group 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 could be a useful remedy agents for treating chronic non-bacterial prostatitis.

  • 눈물샘은 주위환경으로부터 눈의 표면을 보호해주는 눈물막(tear film)을 구성하는 데 중요한 작용을 한다. 포유동물의 종에 따라 눈물샘의 구조와 구성요소는 차이가 있다. 포유류의 눈물샘에는 크게 두 가지 종류 즉, 위눈물샘 (superior lacrimal gland)과 아래눈물샘 (inferior lacrimal gland)으로 나눌 수 있다. 위눈물샘은 사람, 토끼, 개, 말, 낙타, 소등에 있는데, 안구의 위쪽에 위치하며, 아래눈물샘은 설치류, 토끼, 식충류 등에 존재하며, 안구의 아래쪽에 위치하고 있다. 토끼는 두 종류의 눈물샘 즉, 위눈물샘과 아래눈물샘을 모두 갖고 있는 데, 본 실험에서는 아래 눈물샘의 전자현미경적 구조를 관찰하였다. 토끼의 아래 눈물샘을 광학현미경으로 관찰한 일반구조는, 눈물샘은 전체적으로 피막에 싸여있었고, 샘실질은 결합조직에 의해 소엽으로 나뉘어지고, 소엽에는 분비부, 소엽속관 및 소엽사이관이 있다. 샘포세포는 아주 좁은 속공간을 가지고 있으며, 사이관(intercalated duct)은 샘포와 소엽속관을 연결한다. 소엽속관은 단층의 입방상피로 구성되어 있으며, 배출관인 소엽사이관이 결합조직 안에 잘 발달되어 있다. 눈물샘의 미세구조는 눈물샘 샘포세포는 피라밋형으로, 세포사이는 잘 발달된 연접복합체로 연접하였으며, 좁은 꼭대기 부분은 약간의 미세융모들이 샘의 내강쪽으로 향해 있다. 세포들의 가쪽면 사이에는 세포사이세관이 형성되었고, 그 속에도 상당수의 미세융모들이 관찰된다. 눈물샘분비세포는 세 종류로서 장액세포(serous cell), 장점액세포(seromucous cell)와 점액세포(mucous cell)로 이루어졌다. 장액세포는 샘포의 바닥 쪽에 많고, 세포질에는 전형적인 골지복합체와 전자밀도가 높은 분비과립이 있으며, 둥글둥글한 소포상의 과립형질내세망이 특징적인 구조이다. 한편 장점액세포는 전형적인 납작한 과립형질내세망이 조밀하고, 리보소체도 많아서 매우 어둡게 보이며, 분비과립에는 전자밀도가 높은 장액분비과립, 미세먼지같은 중등도의 전자밀도를 지닌 과립, 전자밀도가 낮으며 가끔은 융합되는 점액 분비과립을 갖고 있다. 점액세포의 과립세포질세망은 세포질전체에 퍼져 있으며, 관모양의 사립체들이 드물게 관찰된다. 점액세포에서는 세 가지 종류의 분비과립 즉, 전자밀도가 낮은 분비과립, 전자밀도가 비교적 높으며 빈도가 낮은 과립과 중간정도의 전자밀도를 가진 과립이 있으며, 전자밀도가 낮은 과립은 서로 융합된 모습을 보이기도 한다. 과립세포질세망은 주로 세포의 바닥부분에 위치하며, 골지복합체는 세포의 중간부분인 핵상부에 주로 위치한다. 점액세포의 가쪽벽에는 세포사이공간이 있어 가쪽주름(lateral fold)과 내강에 미세융모를 지닌 세포사이세관(intercellular canaliculi)이 관찰된다. 분비관을 구성하고 있는 세포들에는 세포질이 어두운 세포와 밝은 세포가 있었으며, 세포질내에는 전자밀도가 높은 분비과립이 관찰되었다. 전체적인 특징은 눈물샘분비세포 중 장액세포의 것과 비슷하였으나, 과립의 크기는 작았다. 분비관을 구성하는 세포들 사이에도 연접복합체가 매우 잘 발달되어 있었다. 샘포에서 사이관으로 이행되는 곳에서도 샘포세포와 사이관세포 사이에서도 연접복합체가 관찰되었다. 분비관세포의 분비과립 가운데는 중심부분에 전자밀도가 더 높은 중심을 가진 다른 모양의 과립이 관찰되기도 하였다.

  • 야콘(Smallanthus sonchifolius)은 저혈당에 민간요법으로 이용해 오고 있는 구근작물이다. 최근에는 야콘잎이 항산화, 항균, 항진균 활성과 세포보호 기능이 있다고 보고되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 이러한 생리활성을 지니는 야콘잎을 이용하여 흰쥐에 DBTC (8 mg/kg)를 주사하여 췌장염을 유발시킨 후 1% 야콘추출물이 췌장의 섬유화에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 유발 21일째 처리군에서 췌장의 실질조직의 많은 부분이 collagen으로 재구성되어 있었으나 유발군에서는 처리군에 비해 현저히 감소되어 있었다. COX-2 발현에서, 대조군은 반응이 나타나지 않거나 매우 약한 반응이었으나, 유발군에서는 14일째 매우 증가되었으며, 특히 21일째는 침윤하고 있는 많은 염증세포에서 COX-2의 발현이 확인되었다. 처리군은 유발군에 비해 발현이 감소되었다. TGF-${\beta}1$ 발현은 21일째 염증세포에서는 유발군이 처리군에 비해 현저한 증가 현상이 나타났으나, 샘꽈리세포에서의 TGF-${\beta}1$의 발현은 처리군에서 증가되었다. VEGF 발현은 TGF-${\beta}1$의 발현과 거의 유사한 경향으로 나타났다. 그러므로 야콘추출물이 DBTC로 유도된 췌장염의 섬유화 진행을 억제하는데 매우 효과적임을 확인하였다.

  • Objectives : This study was undertaken to compare the effect of Foeniculi Fructus and Lonicerae Flos extract on the cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in rats. Methods : Acute pancreatitis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of cerulein. Foeniculi Fructus extract (FE; 300 mg/kg) and Lonicerae Flos extract (LE; 300 mg/kg) were injected 2hr before induction of acute pancreatitis. Rats were sacrificed 6hr after first injection of cerulein. The severity of pancreatitis was assessed by measuring pancreatic weight/body weight ratio, neutrophil, lymphocyte, serum amylase activity, platelet activating factor (PAF) activity, tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) activity, interleukin 6 (IL-6) activity and by histological assessments of inflammatory cell infiltration. Results : 1. The pancreatic weight/body weight ratios of FE and LE group compared with the control group were decreased significantly. 2. The neutrophil content ratio of FE and LE group compared with the control group were decreased. 3. The lymphocyte content ratio of FE and LE group compared with the control group were increased significantly. 4. The activities of serum amylase of FE and LE group compared with the control group were decreased significantly. 5. The activities of serum PAF of FE and LE group compared with the control group were decreased significantly. 6. The activities of TNF-${\alpha}$ of FE and LE group compared with the control group were decreased significantly. 7. The activities of IL-6 of FE and LE group compared with the control group were decreased significantly. 8. The pancreas injected with FE and LE showed reduction of swelling of acinar cells, inflammation and vacuolization than the control group on light microscopic observation. Conclusions : These results suggest that Foeniculi Fructus and Lonicerae Flos extract have an effect to suppress inflammation on cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in rats. But there are no significant differences between Foeniculi Fructus extract and Lonicerae Flos extract.

  • An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of chromium picolinate on growth performance, nutrient utilizability, carcass composition, serum traits and in vitro protein synthesis of 3 day old Arbor Acres broiler chickens when dietary crude protein levels were varying in diets. Six replicates of eight chicks each (average initial weitht = 59.4 g) were randomly assigned to three levels (low, medium, high) of dietary crude protein at two levels of chromium (0, 200 ppb Cr/kg diet) as chromium picolinate. Six chicks/treatment were randomly chosen for analyses of carcass composition, six additional chicks/treatment were randomly chosen for analyses of serum components, and a chick/treatment was chosen for in vitro culture of liver tissue. Chromium picolinate did not affect feed intake, protein and fat utilizability, regradless of dietary crude protein level. But feed/gain ratio were more improved in groups fed the low protein diets added with chromium picolinate compared with groups fed the medium and high protein diets with chromium picolinate. Carcass fat tended to decrease whereas carcass protein tended to increase when added with chromium picolinate. Broilers fed diets with chromium picolinate exhibited lower serum triglyceride and nonesterified fatty acid concentrations than those fed without chromium picolinate (p < 0.05). Both secreted and retained proteins in cultured acinar cell were higher in groups fed diets with chromium picolinate than those fed diets without chromium picolinate (p < 0.05). It could be suggested that chromium picolinate was effective in improving weight gain and nutrient utilizability when dietary crude protein was low (p < 0.05), and also effective in manipulating carcass fat when dietary crude protein level was high (p < 0.05).

  • The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of cimaterol on growth performance, carcass quality and cellular functional activity of broilers as affected by the various protein and energy levels. In starter period (0-21 days) all chicks were fed the basal diet which contained approximately 23 % crude protein and 3200 kcal of metabolizable energy per kg of diet. The cimaterol was added during 22-49 days and during the period of 8th week the cimaterol was withdrawn. In finisher period (22-49 days), a $2{\times}2{\times}3$ factorial arrangement consisting of 2 levels of cimaterol (0 mg/kg, 0.25 mg/kg), 2 levels of protein (19%, 17%) and 3 levels of energy (3200, 2900, 2600 kcal/kg) was used. In the finisher period, the body weight gain and feed efficiency was improved by the supplementation of cimaterol. The high protein and high energy level with supplementation of cimaterol had showed the highest body weight gain and feed efficiency, without significant difference. The administration of cimaterol had no effects on percentage of abdominal fat content, giblet and neck. Eventhough the difference was not significant (p>0.05), carcass yield was improved slightly by the administration of cimaterol. The effect of cimaterol on carcass composition was clearly demonstrated that protein content of broilers was not increased (p>0.05) but fat content decreased significantly (p<0.05). The ultilization of nutrients in experimental diets was not significantly affected by feeding cimaterol compared to control group. The results of in vitro studies with liver and adipose tissue showed that cimaterol increased the lipolytic activities at 19% protein level whereas at 17% protein level this effect was variable. Lipogenic activities in liver and adipose tissue were not affected with the administration of cimaterol but the activities increased as energy decreased, particularly in liver tissue. In cell studies with acinar culture of liver tissues, cimaterol had no effect on protein synthetic activity but the parameter was increased at higher level of dietary protein and energy. Protein secretion in liver was increased by the supplementation of cimaterol. In addition, at high protein level the protein secretion was increased and has shown the highest values at medium energy level.

  • 본 연구는 전립선비대증이 노화 및 남성호르몬 과다분비로 인해 유발된다는 가설을 바탕으로 순화기간을 마친 12주령이 된 수컷 쥐에 testosterone을 30일간 피하주사하여 노화 및 testosterone 분비 증가로 인한 전립선비대증 유발 모델 rat을 제작하였다. 실험군은 총 4군으로 각 군당 10마리씩 정상군(N 군), 음성대조군(DO 군), 어성초 추출물 투여군(HO 군) 및 양성물질 finasteride 투여군(FO 군)으로 나누어서 진행하였다. 고환절제술을 한 후 testosterone을 투여한 결과 N군에 비해 나머지 세 군, DO, HO 및 FO군 모두에서 체중이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 전립선의 부피는 N군에 비해서 DO군에서 유의적으로 증가하였으며, HO군과 FO군에서는 DO군에 비해 유의적으로 감소되는 경향을 나타내었다. 전립선의 무게 또한 HO군 및 FO군에서 DO군에 비해 유의적으로 감소되었다. 체중 당 전립선의 비율은 N군에 비해 DO군, HO군 및 FO군에서 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 특히 DO군에 비해 HO 및 FO군은 각각 유의적인 감소를 나타내었다. 혈중 testosterone 및 DHT의 농도는 N군에 비해 모든 군에서 유의적으로 증가되었으나, DO군에서 증가된 혈중 testosterone 및 DHT의 농도는 어성초 추출물 및 finasteride의 공급으로 유의적으로 감소되는 경향이었다. 어성초 추출물의 공급으로 인한 조직병리학적 변화양상을 관찰한 결과 어성초추출물 공급군에서는 DO군에 비해 상피세포, acinar gland, 관상피 세포, 세포핵, 분비선들의 변형 및 위축이 감소하여 정상적인 형태를 나타내고, 양성대조군으로 사용된 finasteride 처리군의 형상과 비슷한 양상을 나타내었다. 어성초 추출물에 대한 이러한 효과는 향후 분자생물학적으로 기전연구들이 더욱 필요하지만 본 결과로 미루어 어성초 추출물 내 함유된 다양한 페놀 및 플라보노이드와 같은 생리활성 성분들은 지금까지 알려져 있던 발모 및 여드름 개선뿐만 아니라 이와 유사한 기전을 가지고 있는 전립선비대증 개선에도 효과적으로 기여할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.
