The present observations were focussed mainly on the macroscopic and histopathological observation to polyps encountered on the stomach of 4-month-old pig, small intestine of 3-month-old pig and cecum of 9-month-old dog. The results were summarized as follows; 1. The polyps were gray or pink hemispherical shapes attached by the broad base to the gastrointestinal walls and were 3 to 8 mm in diameter and diffuse appearance. The surfaces of polyps were flat or indented and were ulcerated in some large polyps. 2. In histopathological findings, the polyps were nodules composed of lymphoid follicles, which were characterized by the differentiation and proliferation of the lymphoid cells in the lamina propria or submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. The lymphoid nodules have the thin septa and thick capsules of the connective tissues, also comprised more numerous and larger sinus-like-blood vessels and more diffuse lymphoid cells in the peripheral zones than those in the central zones of nodules. In addition, the external surface of the polyps bulged toward the intestinal lumen were covered with the abnormal epithelium, or the degenerative and necrotic lymphocyte aggregates. 3. These polyps were considered as lymphoid polyps caused by the hyperplasia of the lymhoid follicles.

The effects of ethanol extract from radish seeds on gastrointestinal function in rats were investigated. Rats were divided into 2 groups of 8 rats each, the basal group and the radish seed ethanol extract group. The radish seed ethanol extract group had a significantly decreased gastrointestinal transit time, but a significantly increased fecal weight compared with the basal group. The radish seed ethanol extract group also had significantly higher duodenal villus height and greater colonic mucosal thickness than the basal group. The radish seed ethanol extract group had a greater proliferation of 5-bromo-2-deoxy-uridine (BrdU) immunoreactive cells in the gastric mucosa as well as in the mucosa and submucosa of the small and large intestine than did the basal group. Thus, radish seed ethanol extract may be useful in preventing constipation based on the observation of an increase in fecal weight, a decrease in gastrointestinal transit time, and positive changes in the intestinal mucosa.

Studies on Gymnophalloides seoi (Digenea: Gymnophallidae) and human infections are briefly reviewed. This minute intestinal fluke was first discovered from a Korean woman suffering from acute pancreatitis and gastrointestinal troubles. It was described as a new species by Lee, Chai and Hong in 1993. The southwestern coastal village where the patient resided was found to be a highly endemic area, and additional endemic areas have been identified. The parasite is very small, 0.33-0.50 mm long and 0.23-0.33 mm wide. and characterized by the presence of a ventral pit. The first intermediate host remains unknown, but the second intermediate host has been found to be the oyster Crassostrea gigas. Man and the Palearctic oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus have been shown to be natural definitive hosts , and wading birds including the Dentish plover Charadrius alexandrinus are highly susceptible to experimental infection. Gerbils, hamsters, cats, and several strains of mice were also susceptible laboratory hosts. In experimentally infected mice, the parasites inhabit the small intestine, pinching and sucking the root of villi with their large oral suckers, but they did not invade beyond the mucosa in immunocompetent mice. However, they were found to invade the submucosa in immunosuppressed mice. Human G. seoi infections have been found in at least 25 localities; 23 islands on the Yellow Sea or the South Sea, and 2 western coastal villages. The highest Prevalence was found in a village on Aphaedo. Shinan-fun (49% e99 Positive rate) : other areas showed 0.8-25.3% prevalence. Infected people complained of variable degrees of gastrointestinal troubles and indigestion. The infection can be diagnosed by recovery of eggs in the feces; however, an expert is needed to identify the eggs. Praziquantel, 10mg/kg in single dose, is effective for treatment of human infections. Eating raw oysters in endemic areas should be avoided.

The present investigation was focussed mainly on the development of the tumors and proliferating cells on the intestinal tracts of 1, 2-dimethyl-hydrazine(DMH)-treated young or adult rats. 26 rats(Wistar, 14 young rats weighting approximately 130~180gm and 12 adult rats weighting approximately 500~550gm) were given subcutaneously once weekly with 20mg of DMH/kg body weight(BW)/week for 8~22 weeks. Individual body weight were recorded weekly at the same day and time. The rats were killed at 8, 13, 15. 17, 19, 21 and 22 weeks. The intestinal tracts were opened longitudinally and carefully examined for tumors. The localization, number, and size of tumors were noted. Tumor-bearing areas were dissected out and fixed on neutral buffered 10% formalin and normal-looking mucosa from 8~22 weeks rats were also taken for fixation. Paraffin sections were stained by H-E for histopathological examination or with immunohistochemical stain for bromodeoxyuridine(Brdur) positive cells. 1. The growth proportion of body weight appeared to be decreased in the DMH-treated young rats than in control young rats and body weight of DMH-treated adult rats appeared to be 13.4% or less lower than weighted on 0 week. 2. Macroscopically, the developed tumors in the intestinal tracts were not observed as early as the 13 weeks after DMH treatment. The number of developed tumors per rat was found to be 14.3, 18.8, 22.3 in 15, 17 and 22 weeks. The numbers of tumors in intestinal regions per rat were 2.1, 4.3, 5.4, 2.5 in duodenum, jejunum, ilium and colon on 15 weeks, 2.3, 6.4, 7.8, 2.3, on 17 weeks, and 2.7, 9.3, 9.0, 1.3 on 22 weeks, respectively and the ileum and jejunum were higher in appearance rate of tumors and tumor types are dome shapes and diameter of largest tumor were 6.3mm. 3. Histopathologically, intestinal mucosa were thickened by the irregular distorted and distended crypts following hyperplasia. The tumors developed on the mucosa and submucosa and were recognized to be adenocarcinoma. 4. Immunohistochemically, the labeling index(LI) was calculated as the ratio of the number of Brdur-labeled cells to the total number of column cells of the crypts with longitudinal axis. LI of Brdur positive cells per crypt were 5.6%, 8.0% on small intestine of control and 22 week group, respectively and 3.7%, 12.7% on large intestine of control and 22 week group, respectively and were appeared to be increase in 22 week group than in control group and to be more number of proliferating cells in 22 week group than in control group. 5. LI of Brdur positive cells in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 segments of crypt column were 11.7%, 10.7%, 3.8%, 0.6%, 0% in small intestine of control group and 23.5%, 11.8%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 0.8% in small intestine of 22 week group, and 5.4%, 7.4%, 3.8%, 1.0%, 0.4% in large intestine of control group and 29.5%, 20.3%, 5.9%, 6.3%, 1.3% in large intestine of 22 week group respectively. So results indicate that the number of proliferating cells by DMH treatment increase and were concentrated on the 1, 2 segments of crypt columns.

Fibriuraseouensis와 요꼬가와흡충을 흰쥐에 혼합감염시키고 충체 회수율과 소장 병 변을 각 충체를 단독 감염시켰을 때와 비교하였다. 동시 감염군은 흰쥐 한 마리에 두 흡충의 피낭유충을 각각 1,000개씩 감염시키고 20일 후에 도살하였다. 도전 감염군은 F. seoulensis 피낭유충을 1,000개씩 감염시키고 10일 후에 요꼬가와흡충 피낭유층 1,000개씩으로 도전 감염 시켰으며 그 10일 후에 도살하였다. 동시 감염 군에서 F. seoulensis와 요꼬가와흡충은 각각 평균 250마리와 118 마리가 회수되어 단독 감염군과 아주 비슷하였지만 F.seoulensis의 경우 십이지장에서 평균 223마리로 단독 감염 군보다 높았으며 공장에서는 26마리로 낮았다. 도전 감염군에서 F. seoulensis의 총 충체 회수율은 단독 감염군과 비슷하였으며 부위별로는 동시 감염군과 같았으나 요꼬가와흡충은 평 균 69마리가 회수되어 단독 감염 군보다 현저히 낮았으며 십이지장에서 평균 7마리, 공장에서 평균 45마리, 회장에서 평균 17마리가 회수되어 기생부위가 넓어겼고 공장보다 회장에서 더 많은 충체가 회수된 단독 감염군과 달랐다. 동시 감염군에서 십이지장의 융모는 비후, 융합, 단축이 흑 seodenis 단독 감염군에 비하여 매우 심하였으며 선와 상피세포가 과증식되었으나 기질층의 염증 세포 침윤은 덜했다. 공장과 회장의 융모 위축은 요꼬가와흡충 단독 감염 군보다 가벼웠다. 도전 감 염군은 동시 감염군과 유사하였으나 십이지장의 선와 상피세포 증식은 심하지 않았으며 공장과 회장의 접막하조직에 염증반응이 있었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 소장 상부에 먼저 기생하고 있는 F. seoulensis는 소장응모의 위축과 염증을 일으켜 나중에 감염되는 요꼬가와흡충에게 불리한 환경을 조성함으로써 이 흡충이 소장 하부에 정착하는데 영향을 미친다고 생각된다.

The morphology and histology of the gastrointestinal mucosa of the mole, Talpa micrura coreana (Thomas), were studied using light and scanning electron microscopes. Tissue specimens were taken from body and pyloric portions of the stomach, and from the initial, proximal, middle, distal and terminal portions of the intestine. For light microscopy, tissue blocks were fixed in 10% buffered neutral formalin, embedded in paraffin wax, and sectioned at a thickness of $5{\mu}m$. These sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. For scanning electron microscopy, tissue blocks were fixed in 1% glutaraldehyde-1.5% paraformaldehyde, and postfixed in 1% osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in graded alcohol, transferred to isoamylacetate and dried by the critical point drier(Polaron E 3000). Subsequently, specimens were coated with gold and observed with a JSM-35C scanning electron microscope. The results were as follows: The mucous membrane of the body portion of the stomach had numerous irregular folds and the pyloric mucosa formed the strawberry-shaped folds, and general histological structures of each portion were similar to those of man. The intestine could not be differentiated macroscopically and microscopically into small and large intestines. There was no cecum, appendix, taenia coli, haustra coli or appendices epiploicae. In the initial portion (4 mm long), conical or tongue-shaped villi with the height of $143.3{\pm}10.7{\mu}m$ were present, and large mucous glands were seen in the submucosa. In the proximal, middle and distal portions, wavy folds composed of the epithelium and lamina propria were densely and transversely arranged, and their heights were $440.4{\pm}45.5{\mu}m,\;454.4{\pm}19.9{\mu}m\;and\;205.2{\pm}33.5{\mu}m$, respectively. The mucosa of the terminal portion (3 cm long) formed several longitudinal folds, and the intestinal glands were directly opened on the smooth surface of the folds. Aggregated lymphoid follicles were observed in the major portions of the intestine except the initial and terminal portions. There was no circular or semilunar fold throughout the intestine.

약물 전달체로서 캬비톨에 의해 개시된 PLGA와 PCL은 락타이드, 글라이콜라이드, 그리고 카프로락톤의 개환 중합에 의해서 합성되었다. 이들 합성고분자를 이용한 이식형 웨이퍼는 합성고분자와 모델 단백질 약물로서 소혈청알부민의 물리적 혼합 후에 성형 압축법에 의해서 간단히 제조되었다. 웨이퍼로부터 알부민의 방출량은 형광측정기를 사용하여 형광 강도에 의해서 측정되었다. 또한 웨이퍼에서 알부민의 방출거동은 콜라겐, 소장점막하조직, 폴리비닐피롤리돈, 그리고 폴리에틸렌글리콜과 같은 첨가제를 통해 조절되었다. PLGA와 PCL로만 준비된 웨이퍼에서의 알부민의 방출은 30일 동안 $10\%$ 미만의 느린 방출거동을 보였다. 그러나 첨가제를 함유한 웨이퍼는 첨가제 함량에 따라서 다양한 서방형의 방출거동을 보였다. 더욱이 콜라겐과 소장점막하조직과 같은 천연재료를 함유한 웨이퍼는 폴리비닐피롤리돈, 폴리에틸렌글리콜과 같은 합성재료를 함유한 웨이퍼보다 0차 방출의 거동을 보였다. 이러한 이식형 웨이퍼로부터 알부민의 방출은 천연재료의 첨가를 통해 쉽게 조절할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
