A 3-year-old Jeju native black sow with sudden death was requested to the Jeju Self-Governing Provincial Veterinary Research Institute for diagnosis in July 2009. Because the pig died suddenly, we could not find any clinical signs. Gross lesions such as pulmonary edema, redness of heart, liver, kidney and lymph nodes were observed at necropsy. Histopathologically, there were severe eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, atrophy, degeneration and necrosis of laminar neurons, and neovascularization in cerebral cortex. Based on histopathological findings and history taking about temporal suspension of water supply, this case was diagnosed as salt poisoning of a Jeju native sow. In our best knowledge, this is the first report for salt poisoning of sow in Korea, especially in Jeju native pig.

Chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) is a myeloproliferative disease with an increased number of mature eosinophils and their precursors, which results in infiltration into organs and organ enlargement. The main cause of this disease is the overexpression of tyrosine kinase. However, there is a need for alternative medication, because some patients are resistant to imatinib, which is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor for leukemia. Many studies have indicated that S100A8 and splicing factor proline and glutamine-rich (SFPQ) function as initiation signals of apoptosis in CEL cells. We reviewed structural studies on CEL cells related to S100A8 and SFPQ. Particularly, this review highlighted microscopic results for the study of S100A8 and SFPQ in CEL cells.

Granular cell tumor is a rare tumor of the soft tissue and this is characterized by proliferation of large cells with granular appearing eosinophilic cytoplasm. We report the imprint cytologic features of a case of granular cell tumor in the left calf of a 52-year-old woman. Microscopic examination showed moderate cellularity. The tumor cells were arranged both as single cells and in clusters. The cells were large polygonal-shaped and they had small round nuclei with finely granular chromatin and occasionally conspicuous nucleoli. The cytoplasm was abundant eosinophilic and granular. Naked nuclei and spindle-shaped tumor cells were occasionally noted. No mitosis and necrosis were present. The background showed cytoplasmic granular materials. The tumor cells showed positivity for S-100 protein. Ultrastructurally, abundant lysosomes were present in the cytoplasm of the tumor cells.

Hibernoma is a rare, benign adipose tumor composed of brown fat cells with eosinophilic granular or multivacuolated cytoplasm. The cytologic features of hibernoma have been rarely reported and may mimic other polygonal cell neoplasms. We report the imprint cytologic features of a case of hibernoma in the left thigh of a 68-year-old woman. Microscopic examination showed large, round, or polygonal brown fat cells. The cells were arranged in fragments or clusters. The nuclei were uniformly round with finely granular chrornatin. The cytoplasm was multivacuolated or univacuolated. The abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm was also present. No nuclear atypia were present. Immunohistochemical staining showed that cells were positive for S-100 protein.

During the studies on the esophagogastric ulcers in swine, Anisakis type larvae were found associated with stomach lesions. 1. Of the 1,531 pigs examined, 11(0.7%) were infested with the parasite in the stomach. 2. The parasite was identified as Anisakis type I larvae, according to the morphological characteristics. 3. On gross examination, the parasites were seen penetrating gastric mucosa, resulting in hemorrhagic ulcers. 4. Main histopathological features were edema, massive eosinophilic infiltrations around the parasite, necrosis and perivascular eosinophilic accumulations in the submucosa.

1. Hepatic ascariasis represented by milk spots on the liver surface was found in 475(31.7%) out of 1,500 pigs. 2. For histopathological studies, 170 cases were collected at random from the milk spotted liver From these cases ascaris larva was found in 14 cases(8.2%). 3. Grossly, the occurrence of milk spots was not confined to any particular lobes of the liver. The lesions, however, were more frequently found in the diaphragmatic surface than in the visceral surface. The extent of the spots was limited to the subcapsular region and the deeper tissue was not affected. 4. Histologically, hemorrhage and eosinophilic infiltration were observed in the area invaded by the larva. The increase of connective tissue followed by a form of chronic lymphocytic hepatitis was observed at the late stage of infection. There was numerous eosinophilic infiltration around the larva trapped in the liver tissue. Consequently, encapsulation of the larva was followed by organization and calcification.

Eosinophils are terminally differentiated cytotoxic effector cells that have a role in parasitic infections and allergy by releasing their granule-derived cytotoxic proteins. However, an increasing number of recent observations indicate that eosinophils are not only associated with the pathogenesis of a wide range of diseases, but also contribute to the maintenance of homeostatic responses in previously underappreciated diverse tissues, such as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and adipose tissue. In this review, we describe biological characteristics of eosinophils, as their developmental properties, permissive proliferation and survival, degranulation activity, and migration properties enable them to distribute to both homeostatic and inflamed tissues. We describe pathologic aspects of eosinophils with a role in asthma and in various GI diseases, including eosinophilic GI disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and radiation-induced enteropathy. Finally, we discuss the beneficial role of eosinophils, which contribute to the resolution of pathogenic conditions and to the modulation of homeostatic biologic responses.

연구배경: 만성 호산구성 폐렴은 장기간의 호흡기계 증상, 흉부 엑스선상의 미만성 침윤, 폐 및 말초혈액의 호산구증 및 스테로이드 치료에 극적인 반응 등으로 특징지어지는 만성적이고 재발되는 간질성 폐 질환이다. 급성 호산구성 폐렴은 만성 호산구성 폐렴과 유사하나 임상경과가 빠르고 스테로이드 치료로 호전되며 재발이 없는 질환으로 알려져 있으며, 최근에는 진단 기준을 포함한 급성 호산구성 폐렴에 대한 재평가가 시도되고 있는 실정이며, 급성 호산구성 폐렴의 진단 기준이 다소 제한적이라는 연구도 보고되고 있다. 저자 등은 본원에 내원한 급성 및 만성 호산구성 폐렴환자의 임상적인 특정과 임상경과를 알아보고 서로 비교하여보았다. 방 법: 1992년부터 1997년까지 가톨릭 의과대학 7개 부속 병원에서 급성 및 만성 호산구성 폐렴으로 진단된 16예의 임상상을 요약하였다. 급성 및 만성 호산구성 폐렴의 진단 기준으로는 기침, 발열, 호흡곤란의 호흡기계 증상이 있고, 흉부 X-선과 전산화 단층촬영에서 폐침윤이 있는 환자로, 폐 호산구증은 기관지 폐포 세척과 경기관지 폐생검 및 개흉 폐생검으로 진단하였으며, 호산구증을 일으키는 기저질환이 있는 경우는 제외하였다. 곁 과: 16명의 환자 중 급성 호산구성 폐렴환자가 7명 (남자 5명, 여자 2명), 만성 호산구성 폐렴환자가 9명 (남자 5명, 여자 4명) 이었다. 평균 연령은 AEP 환자 $24.6{\pm}7.9$세, CEP환자 $55.4{\pm}15.12$세로 CEP환자에서 높은 경향을 보였으며 (p<0.05), $38^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고혈이 AEP 환자 100%(7/7), CEP환자는 11%(1/9)가 있었다. 내원 전 증상의 기간은 AEP환자가 $2.6{\pm}1$일, CEP환자가 $44.7{\pm}25.5$일이었다 (p<0.05). 흉부 방사선 소견상 양측성 폐렴 침윤은 AEP환자100%(7/7), CEP환자는 89%(8/9)가 있었으며, 흉수는 AEP환자86%(6/7), CEP환자 22%(2/9)가 있었다. 평균 말초 혈액 백혈구 수는 AEP환자 17, $186{\pm}8,134/mm^3$, CEP환자 $12,867{\pm}6,040/mm^3$이었고, 호산구분획은 AEP환자 $6.6{\pm}6.7%$(0~20%), CEP환자 $11.3{\pm}21.1%$(0~65%) 이었으며 AEP환자는 추적검사에서 내원 4~7 병일째 (23.7~51%) 가장 높았다, 평균 말초 혈액 호산구 수는 AEP환자 $939{\pm}1,042/mm^3$, CEP환자 $2,104{\pm}4,966/mm3^$이었다. 기관지 폐포 세척액 검사에서 평균 호산구분획은 AEP환자 $32.4{\pm}14.5%$(18~47%), CEP환자 $35.8{\pm}26.7%$(15.3~88.2%) 이었다. 동맥혈 가스 검사상 평균 $PaO_2$는 AEP환자 $44.1{\pm}15.5mmHg$, CEP환자 $62.7{\pm}6.9mmHg$로 AEP환자에서 더 낮았다 (p<0.05). 모든 환자에서 확진 전에 항생제를 투여하였으며, 확진 후에 AEP환자 7명 중 1명은 스테로이드 투여후 호전되었고, 6명은 스테로이드를 투여하지 않고서 호전되었다. CEP환자는 모두에서 확진 후에 스테로이드를 투여하였으며 임상적 호전을 보였다. AEP환자들은 재발이 없었으며, CEP환자 중 3명이 스테로이드 투여 중단 또는 감량 후에 재발이 있었으며 이들중 2명용 천식의 병력이 있는 환자들이었다. 결 론: 급성 호산구성 폐렴은 만성 호산구성 폐렴에 비해 비교적 젊은 사람에게서 고열, 기침, 호흡곤란의 급성 호흡기계 증상을 동반하며, 저산소증이 심하고, 스테로이드 치료에 반응 하지만, 대증요법으로 호전을 보이는 경우도 있는 질환으로 생각된다.
