톡소포자충의 숙주-기생충 상호관계 연구의 일환으로 마우스 비장에서 분리한 T 림프구. B 림프 구 및 과립구(대부분 호중구로 구성)에 톡소포자층의 tachyzoites를 감염시킨 후 감염된 림프구와 호중구의 미세형태 변화를 관찰하는 한편 각 세포의 충체 감염에 대한 감수성을 동위원소 흡수시 험법을 이용하여 정량화하였다. 충체는 병원성이 강한 RH 주를 샤용하였고 각 세포는 BALB/c와 CBA 마우스의 비장에서 분리하여 사용하였다. 감염 후 24시간에 관찰한 결과, T 림프구, B 림프 구 및 호중구는 마우스 주에 상관없이 세포질 내에 tachyzoites가 한 개, 두 개 또는 7-8개까지 관찰되었다. 감염된 T 림프구는 충체 주변에 형성죈 parasitophorous vacuole로 인해 핵이 한 쪽으로 밀리며. 미토콘드리아의 수가 증가하였다 감염된 B 림프구는 조내형질세망(RER)이 대조군에 비해 발달하지 않았으며 감염된 호중구는 과립의 수가 현저히 감소하였다 림프구와 호중구의 톡소포자충 감염에 대한 감수성을 3H-uracil 흡수량으로 정량화한 결과. 마우스 주에 따른 차이는 없었고 모든 종류의 세포 내에서 충체가 활발히 증식함이 확인되었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, BALB/c와 CBA 마우스의 비장 T 림프구, B 림프구 및 호중구는 모두 톡소포자충의 tachyzoites 감염에 대해 감수성이 높음을 알 수 있었고, 감염된 면역세포는 그 기능이 저하될 것으로 추측된다.

본 연구는 Paraquat에 의한 폐상해와 colchicine이 paraquat에 의한 폐 섬유화에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위해 Sprague-Dawley 흰쥐에 10 mg/kg의 paraquat을 2일 간격으로 2회 복강내 투여하였고 다른 군은 2회 투여한 후 1주일에 한번씩 10 mg/kg의 colchicine 을 복강내에 투여하였다. 각 군은 paraquat을 처음 투여한 후 1, 2 및 4 주에 폐를 적출하여 광학 및 전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 광학현미경 소견은 paraquat 투여 후 1주일 이후에는 폐포벽 및 폐포강에 호중구, 대식세포 및 림프구가 침윤하였다. 그리고 폐포벽에는 시간이 지날수록 세포수가 증식하였다. 그러나 colchicine을 같이 투여한 군에서는 폐포벽의 세포증식이 현저하지 않았다. 전자현미경 소견은 paraquat투여 후 I형 폐포세포와 폐포모세혈관 내피세포의 심한 종창과 탈락이 일어났고 폐포벽에는 호중구, 대식세포 및 단구, 림프구의 침윤이 일어났다. 이러한 소견은 시간이 경과하여도 지속되었다. 섬유아세포의 증식과 교원섬유의 축적은 Paraquat 투여 후 4주 째에 가장 현저하였다. colchicine을 같이 투여한 군에서는 섬유화가 일어났으나 paraquat 단독 투여군보다 심하지는 않았다. 이상의 소견으로 보아 paraquat에 의한 폐상해는 I형 폐포세포와 폐포모세혈관 내피세포가 가장 상해를 잘 받으며 colchicine은 paraquat에 의한 폐섬유화를 억제하는 효과가 있음이 인정된다.

Mastitis is one of the most significant cause of economic loss to the dairy industry. Especially, Staphylococcus aureus is a major contagious mastitis-causing pathogen in dairy cattle. Because of its high transmission rate and resistance to antibiotic therapy, staphylococcal mastitis presents a constant threat to the dairy industry. Staphylococcal enterotoxin C(SEC) produced by S aureus has been known as one of superantigens which are able to stimulate a large proportion of T lymphocytes independently of their antigenic specificity. In this experiment, we have conducted preliminary studies with mice and lactating cows to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the experimental vaccine consists of SEC mutant antigen on controlling the bovine mastitis associated with S aureus infections. The average value of somatic cell counts in quarter milk, isolation rate of S aureus were consistently decreased in SEC-SER vaccinated groups, whereas antibody titers were highly increased in SEC-SER vaccinated groups. Peripheral blood were also collected from the lactating cows to determine the proportion of leukocyte subpopulation associated with humoral immunity(HI) and cell mediated immunity(CMI). Proportion of leukocyte subpopulation expressing $BoCD2^+$(total T lymphocyte), $BoCD4^+$(T helper cell), $BoCD8^+$(T cytotoxic/suppressor cell) and NonT/NonB lymphocyte which are involved in CMI in SEC-SER vaccinated groups were decreased for the initial stage after first vaccination and then increased from ten weeks after first vaccination maintaining elevated level till 14 weeks after vaccination. In contrast, proportion of monocyte, MHC class II and B lymphocyte which are associated with the production of primary immune response in SEC-SER vaccinated groups were increased for the initial period and then decreased from ten weeks after first vaccination. We present evidence that vaccination of SEC-SER mutant antigen in lactating cows induced a significant proliferation of bovine T lymphocytes. These results suggest that SEC-SER mutant antigen used in this experiment might be one of potential immunogen in developing innovative vaccine against bovine IMI associated with S aureus. Additional challenge trials should be carried out to evaluate substantial protection against S aureus under the commercial farm conditions.

Bujeonghangamtang(扶正抗癌湯) has been used for cure of tumor as a traditional medicine without any experimental evidence to support the rational basis for its clinical use. This study was carroed out to evaluate the possible therapeutic or antitumoral effects of Bujeonghangamtang extract against tumor, and to carry out some mechanisms responsible for its effect. Some kinds of tumor were induced by .the typical application of 3-methylcholanthrene (MCA) or by the implantation(s.c) of malignant tumor cells such as leukemia cells(3LL cells) or sarcoma cells(Sl80 cells). Treatment of the Bujeonghangamtang water-extract (dailly 1mg/mouse, i. p.) was continued for 7 days prior to tumor induction and after that the treatment was lasted for 20 days. Against squamous cell carcinoma induced by MCA, Bujeonghangamtang decreased not only the frequency of tumor production but also the number and the weight of tumors per tumor bearing mice (TBM). Bujeongmngamtang also significantly suppressed the development of 3LL cell and S180 cell-implanted tumors in occurence-frequency and their size, and some developed tumors were regressed by the continuous treatment of Bujeonghangamtang extract into TBM. In vitro, treatment of Bujeonghangamtang extract had no effect on the growth of some kinds of cell line such as FsaII, A431 strain but significantly inhibited the proliferation of 3LL, S180 cells and augmented the DNA synthesis of mitogen-activated lymphocytes. Bujeonghangamtang also stimulated the migrative ability of leukocyte, the MIF and IL-2 production of T lymphocytes, but not IL 6 production of B cells. Bujeonghangamtang-administration to mice enhanced NK cells attivities. These results demonstrated that Bujeonghangamtang extract exhibited a significant prophylactic benefits against tumors and its antitumor activity was manifested depending on the type of tumor cells. And these results also suggested that effect of Bujeonghangamtang might be chiefly due to nonspecific enhancement of NK cell activities and cell-mediated immune responses.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristic features of the cells and tissues of the chronic periapical lesions using light microscope and electron microscope. Fifteen dental periapical lesions were obtained from the patients undergoing periapical surgery. Each specimen was divided into two parts along the tooth axis. One part was routinely processed for histopathologic examinations. 12 periapical lesions were diagnosed as granuloma and 3 periapical specimens as periapical cyst. The other part was fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1M sodium cacodylate buffer at pH 7.4 and 1% osmic acid in same buffer. They were embedded in Epon 812. The semithin sections were used for the orientation of the lesions and the ultrathin sections were stained conventionally and examined with AEI Corynth 500 electron microscope. The results were as follows. 1. PMN and macrophages, which were dominant cell type, were scattered in small or large numbers throughout the central destructive area of granuloma. In the granulomatous area, plasma cells and lymphoytes were found in significant number and a lot of new capillary formation were revealed. Clefts caused by cholesterol were often seen in the connective tissue. Occasionally foam cells became collected in groups and epithelial proliferation were present. 2. In both granuloma and cyst, some plasma cells contained narrow cisternae of granular endoplasmic reticulum of which was tightly packed with electron dense materials, and other cells exhibited dilated profiles of granular endoplasmic reticulum. 3. In the area where plasma cells and lymphocytes were collected in groups, lymphocytes with well developed nucleolus and profuse cytoplasm were found and differentiating plasma cells were also present. 4. In the epithelial strands of the granulomatous area, epithelial cells contained enlarged endoplasmic reticulum, tonofilaments and ribosoms. Toward the intercellular space epithelial cells protruded a few microvilli. In the intercellular space, exudate-like electron dense materials, most of which was attached to the plasma membrane, appeared. 5. Some foam cells filled with numerous lipid droplets and others had lipid droplets and crystal-like structures. 6. Cyst epithelium consisted of bright cells and dark cells. The former had bright cytoplasm and small amounts of ribosoms, and the latter dark cytoplasm, many ribosoms, mitochondria and elongated microvilli. 7. Epithelial cells near the cyst lumen protruded a lot of long microvilli toward intercellular space and cyst lumen.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the immunopotentiating activity of combine extract that Silkworm and Cinnamomum cassia. Recently, acute epidemic diseases such as cold and viral respiratory diseases have been emerging. So, interested in immunity enhancement has been increasing, and research on natural products to promote immunity activity has been actively conducted. Methods : To confirm the immunopotentiating activity effect, Silkworm (SW), Cinnamomum cassia (CC), and SWCC combined extracts were treated 14 days at 300 mg/kg/day. The changes of glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvate transaminase (GPT) in serum were analyzed after experiment. The changes in the total spleen cell number were measured. Immune cells in spleen were analyzed using fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS). also, analyzed the expression of cytokines in spleen. Results : Total number of cells in the spleen and FACS analysis of T lymphocytes activated in the spleen showed that the SWCC combined treated group had much higher frequency of active cells than both single groups. The ratio of CD4+CD8+, CD4+CD69+ and CD4+CD25+ T cells in spleen, SWCC is higher than other groups except Nor in CD4+, CD4+CD69+, CD4+CD25+ T cells. The results of this study suggest that SWCC can help immune function via IL-2, IL-10, IL-12, IFN-${\gamma}$ cytokine production, increased T lymphocytes and splenocyte proliferation. Conclusion : Therefore, these results suggested that the SWCC combined extracts administration increase stronger immunity enhancement than when SW and CC adminstration.

Laminaria japonica의 polysaccharides(LP)가 마우스 비장 세포에서 현저한 면역 증강 활성을 보였다. Balb/c 마우스 비장 세포를 mitogen인 Con A, T cell growth factor인 IL-2 및 alloantigen인 anti-C57로 자극한 뒤, LP를 농도별(0.25, 0.5, 1 mg/mL)로 첨가하여 마우스 비장 세포의 증식 활성을 측정한 결과, 비장 세포증식능이 유의적으로 증가함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 항원 특이적인 세포 독성 T 림프구(CTLs)의 활성과 IL-2에 의해 야기되는 비특이적인 림포카인 활성 살해 세포(LAKs)의 세포독성능을 측정하였다. 작동 세포와 표적 세포의 비율을 10:1로 혼합한 뒤, LP를 농도별로 첨가하여 세포 용해 시 발생되는 LDH를 측정한 결과, 동종 항원 반응 비장 세포의 살해 세포 작용이 유의적으로 증가하였으며, LAKs의 활성 또한 유의적으로 증가함을 확인하였다. 그리고 T 림프구의 활성에 직접적으로 관여하는 IL-2의 생산능을 측정한 결과, LP를 첨가한 경우 농도 의존적으로 IL-2의 생산량이 증가됨을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로, 참다시마에서 획득한 LP가 마우스 비장 세포의 T 림프구 및 NK 세포의 증식에 영향을 미치는 면역 증강 활성을 가지고 있음을 입증하였다.

Two groups of esophagus graft were done in canine esophagus in 34 adult mongrel dogs. For the first group segmental replacement graft was done with fresh autologous pericardium tube, and for the second, patch graft was done utilizing fresh autologous pericardium, fresh homologous pericardium,and dacron piece. All eight dogs in the first segmental replacement graft group died 2 to 5 days after operation with severe empyema caused by anastomosis disruption. Among 26 patch graft dogs 2 died during operation and 7 died 13 to 18 days after operation. For the 17 long-term patch grafted survivors esophagography and postoperative weight check were done. Postoperative stool was collected and examined for dacron patch excretion. One, two, three, and four months postoperative long-term survivors were sacrificed to obtain specimens in each group respectively and the following observations were made.I. Survival; Autologous pericardium patch group showed no mortality but in homologous pericardium and dacron patch group only two thirds were long-term survivors. II. Postoperative swallowing; There was no case which demonstrated postoperative dysphagia. About half of the cases showed postoperative weight increase and in only 3 cases weight decrease followed operation. III. Dacron patch was excreted in the stool 8 to 23 days after operation. Animals which excreted dacron patch up to 9 days after operation all died of empyema due to anastomosis disruption.IV. Postoperative esophagogram; All esophagograms in each group showed no leakage of barium, no passage disturbances and no remarkable stenotic signs.V. Morphological findings; [A] Macroscopical findings; In one month group specimens of each group dense adhesion with surrounding structures was noted and luminal surface was smooth with contraction of the patched area. In two month groups anastomosis sutures were still exposed but patched area showed lesser abnormality. In three to four months groups sutures were covered completely and patched area showed only very slight signs of contraction. [B] Microscopic findings; In one month group luminal surface of the replaced tissue [transplanted tissue] showed almost complete epithelial covering that is composed of several layers of squamous cells with no evidence of keratinization. Basement membrane was also well distinct throughout. Slight to minimal inflammatory cells comprising of large mononuclears, lymphocytes and plasma cells were observed in the subepithelial fibrous stroma consisted entirely of loose fibrous tissue containing many newly formed capillaries and fibroblastic proliferation. Scattered suture granulomas were found, few of which became acutely inflamed. In two months group repairing process progressed with lesser degree of inflammatory cell infiltration and young capillary proliferation. Fibrous tissue was more matured showing even focal collagenization.Suture granuloma persisted but with lesser reactive changes. Epithelial covering was that of a mature non-keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium. In three and four months groups the replaced area showed essentially similar histological findings. However, subepithelial stroma still consisted entirely of connective tissue without evidence of smooth muscle regeneration. In this group, inflammatory cell infiltration was minimal or negligible. Among these patch materials autologous pericardium group showed the most satisfactory repairing process.The above mentioned results may signify the feasibility of autogenous pericardium patch graft in clinical esophageal surgery.
