Anticarcinogenic effects of garlic juice were studied in hamsters exposed to 9,10-dimethyl-1, 2-benzan-thracene in their buccal pouches. The distribution of nodule quantity and size was recorded among different groups of hamster. The results show that nodule formation was suppressed in hamsters which were fed with garlic juice compared to hamsters which were not. The average nodule volume was 81.10㎣ for hamsters fed with 3% garlic juice and 181.26㎣ for hamsters without garlic in their diet after 90 days of treatment.

In order to evaluate the safety of hydroxyapatite sinter produced from tuna bone in Syrian hamsters, oral mucous membrane irritation test was carried out. Oral mucous membrane irritation test was infected in Syrian hamsters as dose of 5 g/kg BW with hydroxyapatite sinder under pentobarbital sodium anesthesia. Each animal`s left cheek pouch was everted, and the samples were loosely placed at the bottom of the pouch with a double-suture technique for 14 days. Hamsters of control group were treated without inserting the hydroxylapatite sinter. Any abnormal clinical signs in both cheek pouches of control and treatment group were not observed for 14 days. There were no significant differences in body weight changes between hamsters of control and treatment group. Therefore, it suggest that hydroxyapatite sinter produced from tuna bone has no particular changes of oral mucous membrane irritation in Syrian hamsters.

An age-dependent aspect of resistance to Cryptosporidium muris (strain MCR) infection was monitored in Syrian golden hamsters. Mesocricetus auratus. at 1-, 5- and 10-week of age and in ICR mice, Mus musculus, at 3-, 12-, and 15-week of age orally inoculated with a single dose of $2{\times}10^6$ oocysts. respectively. The prepatent periods for both animals were similar, independent of age, but the patency was significantly longer in younger hamsters (P<0.001) and a long tendency in younger mice. Hamsters infected at 1-week of age excreted about 10 times higher oocysts than those at 5- and 10-week of age. However, the total oocyst output was similar among mice of different ages. There was a good correlation between the length of the patency and the total oocyst output in hamsters (R=0.9646), but not in mice (R=0.456l). The immunogenicity of the parasite to homologous challenge infections was very strong in hamsters and relatively strong in mice. These results indicate that acquired resistance to C. muris infection is age-related and the innate resistance is independent of age of hamsters, and that both innate and acquired resistance, on the contrary, are irrespective of age of mice.

There has been a strong, positive correlation between opisthorchiasis-associated cholangiocarcinoma and infection with Helicobacter. Here a rodent model of human infection with Opisthorchis viverrini was utilized to further investigate relationships of apparent co-infections with O. viverrini and H. pylori. A total of 150 hamsters were assigned to five groups: i) Control hamsters not infected with O. viverrini; ii) O. viverrini-infected hamsters; iii) non-O. viverrini infected hamsters treated with antibiotics (ABx); iv) O. viverrini-infected hamsters treated with ABx; and v) O. viverrini-infected hamsters treated both with ABx and praziquantel (PZQ). Stomach, gallbladder, liver, colonic tissue, colorectal feces and O. viverrini worms were collected and the presence of species of Helicobacter determined by PCR-based approaches. In addition, O. viverrini worms were cultured in vitro with and without ABx for four weeks, after which the presence of Helicobacter spp. was determined. In situ localization of H. pylori and Helicobacter-like species was performed using a combination of histochemistry and immunohistochemistry. The prevalence of H. pylori infection in O. viverrini-infected hamsters was significantly higher than that of O. viverrini-uninfected hamsters ($p{\leq}0.001$). Interestingly, O. viverrini-infected hamsters treated with ABx and PZQ (to remove the flukes) had a significantly lower frequency of H. pylori than either O. viverr-iniinfected hamsters treated only with ABx or O. viverrini-infected hamsters, respectively ($p{\leq}0.001$). Quantitative RT-PCR strongly confirmed the correlation between intensity H. pylori infection and the presence of liver fluke infection. In vitro, H. pylori could be detected in the O. viverrini worms cultured with ABx over four weeks. In situ localization revealed H. pylori and other Helicobacter-like bacteria in worm gut. The findings indicate that the liver fluke O. viverrini in the biliary tree of the hamsters harbors H. pylori and Helicobacter-like bacteria. Accordingly, the association between O. viverrini and H. pylori may be an obligatory mutualism.

간흡충은 담관내에 기생하면서 만성적 감염의 결과 최종적으로 담관암을 유발시키는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 실험동물에서 간흡충의 감염만으로는 담관암이 발생하지 않으며, 어떠한 외적 혹은 내적 발암성의 물질들과 병합하여 담관암이 형성하는 것으로 보고된 바 있다 본 실험은 햄스터에서 간흡충의 감염과 dimethylnitrosamine(DMN)의 병합작용으로 담관암이 발생되었다는 모델을 이용하여 "발암기전의 2단계이론" 상에서 간흡충의 역할을 밝혀보고자 하였다. 총 90마리의 햄스터를 15 마리씩 6군으로 나누었다. $DMN{\;}{\rightarrow}{\;}CS$군의 햄스터에서는 먼저 15 ppm의 DMN을 4주 동안 음수 투여하고, 1주 후에 간흡충을 15마리씩 인공감염시켰다. 그리고 5주 후에 piaziquantel로 간흡충을 치료하였다 $CS{\;}{\rightarrow}{\;}DMN$군에서는 먼저 간홉충을 감염시키고 5주 후에 praziquantel로 치료하였으며 1주 후부터 DMN을 4주동안 투여하였다. DMN + CS군에서는 DMN과 간흠충을 동시에 투여하였으며 4주 후에는 DMN을 제거하였다. DMN군과 CS군은 각각 DMN과 간흡충만을 투여하였고 대조군은 아무것도 투여하지 않았다. 모든 실험동물은 13주 후에 부검하였으며 조직병리학적인 방법으로 간장을 검경하여 진단하였다. 실험결과 담관암은 $DMN{\;}{\rightarrow}{\;}CS$군에서 3마리, DMN + CS군에서 11마리가 발생하였으며 나머지 군들에서는 암이 발생하지 않았다. 본 실험으로 2단계 발암기 전상에서 간흡충은 담관암발생을 촉진하는 효과를 보였음을 알수 있었다.

The carcinogenic potential of steviol, a metabolite of/ stevioside (a compound that is used as a sweetener for food and drink), was examined in hamsters of both sexes. Groups of 55 male and 55 female hamsters were given diets containing steviol at 0, 100 and 500 mg/kg diet for 22 months in males and 18 months in females. After 6, 12 and 22 months in males and 18 months in females. hamsters from each group were sacrificed for hematological and biochemical tests. Growth food utilization and consumption, general appearance and mortality were similar in treated and control groups. The mean life span of hamsters given steviol was not significantly different from that of the controls. No treatment-related changes were observed in hematological, urinary and biochemical values at any stage of the study. There was no significantly altered development of neoplastic or non-neoplastic lesions attributable to steviol treatment in any organ or tissue. The highest level oj steviol in the diet which still causes no effects in hamsters was 500 mg/kg diet, under the experimental conditions used.

The present study was designed to explore the anti-cell proliferative efficacy of ferulic acid by analysing the expression pattern of cell proliferative markers, proliferating cellular nuclear antigen (PCNA) and cyclin D1, in the buccal mucosa of golden Syrian hamsters treated with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). Oral squamous cell carcinomas developed in the buccal pouch of hamsters using topical application of 0.5% DMBA three times a week for 14 weeks. Immunohistochemical (PCNA) and RT-PCR (Cyclin D1) analysis revealed over expression of PCNA and cyclin D1 in the buccal mucosa of hamsters treated with DMBA alone (tumor bearing hamsters). Oral administration of ferulic acid at a dose of 40 mg/kg bw to hamsters treated with DMBA not only completely prevented the tumor formation but also down regulated the expression of PCNA and cyclin D1. The results of the present study thus suggests that ferulic acid might have inhibited tumor formation in the buccal mucosa of hamsters treated with DMBA through its anti-cell proliferative potential as evidenced by decreased expression of PCNA and cyclin D1.

The morphogenetically matured spermatozoa (sperm) are generated in the testes by the spermatogenesis. They travel male reproductive tract with many substances secreted from the accessory reproductive organs. One of the substances is the semenogelin (SEMG) released from the seminal vesicles that is involved in the post-testicular maturation. The expression of SEMG gene was investigated in seminal vesicle tissues of sexually matured and regressed male Syrian hamsters by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The SEMG gene was uniquely identified in the seminal vesicles of the matured Syrian hamsters and compared to the genes reported previously. But the expression of SEMG gene was not observed in reproductively and completely regressed testes of Syrian hamsters. These results indicate that the expressions of the SEMG gene are related to the reproductive capability in the male Syrian hamsters.
