Background : Tumor angiogenesis is the growth of new vessels toward and within tumor. It has been demonstrated that the growth of tumor beyond a certain size requires angiogenesis and it is closely involved in tumor progression and metastasis. The finding that intensity of neovascularization correlates independently with metastasis may lead to identification of patients in whom radical surgery should be supplemented by systemic treatment. Method : We have collected paraffin blocks of bronchoscopic biopsy of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. We highlighted the vessel by staining endothelial cell with JC70 monoclonal antibody(to CD31) immunohistochemically and counted microvessels under 200 X field using light microscopy. Results : 1) The mean microvessel count was $32.7{\pm}20.8$ (9-96) in total 29 cases. 2) There were no correlations between microvessel counts and pathologic cell type, T staging, node melastasis(N) and hematogenous metastasis(M) (p>0.05). 3) The median follow-up duration was 15 months(2-46) and there was no correlation between the microvessel counts and survival rate of lung cancer patients (p>0.05). Conclusion : Tumor angiogenesis seems to be an important prognostic factor suggesting the probability of metastasis. But the microvessel count in the bronchoscopic biopsy specimen was inadequate and very limited. There has been no data about angiogenesis of lung cancer in korea yet So the study of tumor angiogenesis using resected lung tumor specimen would be demanded.

Cervical carcinoma is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women around the world, and it is associated with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV genotyping is important for vaccine policy, etiology, natural history, and epidemiology studies. The use of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues for HPV genotyping by reverse blot hybridization assays (REBA) has not been clearly confirmed in retrospective studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness and efficiency of FFPE tissues from cervical cancers for HPV genotyping. HPV genotypes were detected in 52 FFPE tissues from cervical carcinoma specimens by REBA. HPV was detected in 32 (61.5%) of 52 specimens from FFPE, among which 27 (84.4%) harbored single infections and 5(15.6%) contained multiple infections. The HPV single infections (27) were analyzed by high-risk type 18(8), 58(6), 16(5), 33(1), 35(1), 39(1), 56(1) and low risk type 11(2), 6(1), 70(1). The HPV multiple infections (5) included 16/18(2), 18/52(1), 16/56(1), 16/18/33(1). Please consider being more specific here. Do you mean the analysis? Please clarify what you mean by "included."Through this study, it has been determined that the FFPE specimen is feasible and can be used in HPV genotyping, as well as in retrospective studies.

The Langerhans cells are dendritic nonkeratinocytes found suprabasally in most stratified squamous epithelia, such as human epidermis and the epithelium of the oral mucosa including that of gingiva. After Paul Langerhans found it in the skin in 1968, there have been sturdies of it's function and distribution . Stingle et al. reported that the Langerhans cells seem able to present antigens and to stimulate T-lymphocytes. Shelley et al. discovered that they can take up contact allergens. Accordingly it has been suggested that Langerhans cells are important elements of p Peripheral cell mediated immune system. In this study, the gingival tissue of a adult periodontitis patient was taken and freeze dried. In one specimen, we used the CD1 monoclonal antbody to staining the Langerhans cell. The other specimen, we embedded in paraffin and staining it with S-100 monoclonal antibody. The purpose of this study was to use these specimens to find out the distribution, orientation, morphology of the Langerhans cell and to discover the increase or decrease of Langerhans cell in an increased inflammatory state. The results were obtained as follows : 1. Langerhans cells were distributed between the basal cell layer and spinous cell layer against the CD1 & S-100 monoclonal antibody. 2. Langerhans cessl were plentiful in the oral eptihelium, and there was very little in the sulcular epithelium. 3. There were no Langerhans cell in the junction epithelium and pocket lining epithelium. 4. The number of Langerhans cells that responsed to the CD1 & S-100 monoclonal antibody had a statistically difference. 5. As the infiltration of the lymphocyte into the connective tissue were increased, the number of Langerhans cells in the epithelium were increased. 6. As the inflammation was increased, Langerhans cells in the spinous cell layer were more increased than those of the basal layer.

This study was designed to observe the adaptive changes of mandibular condyles to displacement of mandibular condyle in adult animals. In this study, 16 rabbits weighting about 3.5 kg was selected. Four rabbits were preserved for control group and 8 animals were divided into 3 groups, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks. The experimental animals were performed oblique osteotomy on both mandibular ramus and internal wiring at mandibular border. The experimental animals were sacrificed consecutively on the 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after oblique osteotomy and mandibular condyles were dissected out carefully to produced tissue specimen. The specimens were fixed with 10% N formaline solution for 24 hours and rinsed with phosphate buffer solution. It was decalcified with 5% nitric acid for 15 days. Thereafter the specimens were dehydrated in alcohol series and embedded paraffin as usual manner. The mebedded specimen were sectioned in $4-6{\mu}m$ microtome, stained with hematoxylin-eosin and azan stain and observed through light microscope. The following results were observed from this experiment. When there was postional change of condyle head after mandibular ramus oblique osteotomy in adult rabbit, 1. The density of chondrocyte was generally increased at condylar cartilage and the thickness of condylar cartilage was increased posterosuperior aspect of the mandibular condyle slightly. 2. The density of chondrocyte was increased at proliferative zone so fibrous articular zone, porliferative zone and hypertrophic zone was clearly distinguished. 3. Active endochondral bone formation was occurred at mandibular condyle.

Object This study is focused on the comparison between $CO_2$ laser and scalpel by examining the overal process of wound healing after partial glossectomy of rats so that the result from the research could be easily applied to actual clinical environment. Method and Material In this research, 2mm defect was formed on both lateral borders of the tongue of rats by using $CO_2$ laser and scalpel respectively. 4rats were sacrified each time on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 14th and 21th day according to a general method. After fabricating $5{\mu}m$ paraffin specimen, H&E staining and MT staining were performed. Results Compared to scalpel, wound healing by $CO_2$ laser leads to a earlier initiation of vascular proliferation and re-epithelization. Therefore, some influence is exerted on the early stage of wound healing. However, the two methods seem to undergo the similar healing process.

To increase flash point which is related to flammability, seven unprecedented new cleaning agents containing fluoride atoms have been invented. These newly synthesized cleaning agents's physical properties which were conducted by Korea Institute of Petroleum Management by using a standard method showed excellent values. Particularly, flash point of newly synthetic cleaning agents is more higher than that of fluoride free compound. A specimen for cleaning ability was prepared by cutting in $60mm{\times}40mm$ size of stainless steel plate. The surface of the above specimens was applied with four kinds of contaminants, such as paraffin based drawing oil, flux abietic acid, water-insoluble cutting oil, and lubricating oil. Contaminated specimens were immersed in new compounds (1-7) for 1 to 5 minutes to dissolve oil in the cleaning agent. Although the data indicate that all compounds (1-7) exhibit lower cleaning ability toward cutting oil, it is observed that in the case of the present study more than 80% of pollutants on the surface were almost removed within 5 minutes.

Objective : To investigate the expression of apoptosis related proteins and apoptotic cells on the human ovarian follicles. Materials and Methods: Thirty five Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human ovarian tissue blocks were selected from the surgical pathology files of the department of pathology, College of Medicine, Yonsei University, for the period from 1996 to 1998. All specimen were from premenopausal women aged from $32{\sim}45$. Ovarian tissues were collected from the patients performing hysterectomy for benign uterine diseases. Immunohistochemical staining was performed for the detection of DNA fragmented cell, Bcl-2, Bax, Fas and Fas-ligand. Results: Bcl-2 and bax were not expressed on the surrounding cells and oocyte of the primary, primordial and preantral follicles. Fas and Fas-ligand (Fas-L) were not expressed on the surrounding cells on the primordial and primary follicles. But expressed on the surrounding granulosa cells and oocyte in the primordial and primary follicles. In the healthy follicles, Bcl-2 was expressed on the granulosa cells, however, Bax was not expressed. DNA fragmented cells were expressed on the inner granulosa cell layer of atretic follicles. Conclusion: Fas, Fas-ligand, and Bax may be responsible for the follicular atresia and Bcl-2 may be involved in the follicular survival in the human ovary.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the tissue response of the rat molar periodontium incident to intermittent orthodontic force. The author intended to observe the healing process of injured periodontium and the response of injured tissue to the resumed force. Oxytetracyclin 50mg/Kg was given to each rat intraperitonially. 5 days later, maxillary 1st molars were moved mesially from the incisors with closed coil spring of 100gram. 7 days later, the appliances were removed and 20mg/Kg of calcein were given intraperitonially to each rat. At the same time, maxillary left 1st molars of 15 rats were moved by the same method, but force was lowered to 20 gram. After 1 day, maxillary left 1st molars of another 15 rats were moved by the same method and 50mg/Kg of oxytetracycline was given intraperitonially. After 4 days, another 15 rats were treated as above. After 7 days, another 15 rats were treated as above. 1,4,7,10 and 14 days after change of force, 3 rats were sacrificed in each group respectively. 2 rats were decalcified, embedded in paraffin, and stained with hematoxylin-eosin stain and with Masson's trichrome stain. Another rat was embedded in polyester resin and undecalcified specimen were made. Microradiograms were taken with the undecalcified sections. Observations were made with light and fluorescence microscope. Following conclusions were made. 1. Connective tissue cells and vessels were infiltrated into the hyalinized tissue from the bony cleft and along the border of the hyalinized tissue with bone and root surface. At the same time, elimination of hyalinized tissue, bone and root resorption occurred. 2. Bone and root were resorbed directly and indirectly. 3. Hyalinized tissue was removed within 5 days after force removal. 4. Hyalinized zone was less extensive and easily removed as the rest period prolonged. 5. Hyalinized tissue developed more rapidly and extensively and lasted over 10 days as the force resumed on the already formed hyalinized tissue.
