The present study was underve the histochemical nature of various follicles and interstitial tissues in the ovaries of Korean native goats and cattle as well as the histochemical changes of those in the ovaries of Korean native goats treated with dexamethasone. Much more lipid granules appeared in the granulosa and theca cells of atretic follicles compared with normal follicles in these ruminant ovaries. In the ovaries of Korean native goats the interstitial tissue derived from the theca interna of atretic follicles appeared the form of patches of cells and the interstitial tissue derived from stromal cells appeared the form of diffuse, obscure bounds. In the ovaries of Korean native cattle the interstitial tissue derived from theca interna of atretic follicles showed sparsely scattered form of pathes of cells. The histochemical components were described on the basis of lipids in the granulosa and theca cells of normal follicles, atretic follicles and interstitial tissue. In the ovaries of Korean natve goats treated with dexamethasone, the granulosa and theca cells of atretic foillicle contained plenty lipid granules that were increased in size and number, however, lipid granules were markedly decreased in the interstitial tissue.

We assessed effects of ovine luteinizing hormone (oLH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (oFSH) on the granulose and theca layers from the four largest follicles, $F_1-F_4$ of hens which had been hypophysectomized 12 h before expected ovulation. Ovine LH (0.4 mg), oFSH (0.4 mg) or oLH in combination with oFSH (0.4 mg each) was injected intravenously 6 h after hypophysectomy. Progesterone, testosterone and $estradiol-17{\beta}$ levels of the granulose and theca layers which were removed 6 h after hormone injection, were measured by radioimmunoassay. Progesterone contents of $F_1-F_3$ granulosa layer at 12 h after hypophysectomy were much lower than those of control hens. This reduced progesterone level was restored partially by the injection of oLH alone for $F_1$, while no follicles responded to oFSH treatment. In contrast, the injection of oLH in combination with oFSH resulted in high progesterone content of the granulose layer from all four follicles. Progesterone content of the theca layer was negligible in all treatments. Simultaneous injection of oLH and oFSH also elevated $estradiol-17{\beta}$ level accumulating in the theca layer from all follicles, of which much higher concentrations of $estradiol-17{\beta}$ were observed when comparison were made to each of their corresponding controls. No appreciable change in testosterone contents of two layers was observed in the present experiments. These results suggest that oFSH augments function of oLH to stimulate the production of progesterone in the granulose layer and $estradiol-17{\beta}$ in the theca layer.

Theca lutein cysts are rare, benign lesions responsible for gross cystic enlargement of both ovaries during pregnancy. This condition is also termed hyperreactio luteinalis. Elevated human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels or states of hCG hypersensitivity seem to promote these changes, which in up to 30% of patients produce clinical signs of hyperandrogenism. Given the self-limiting course of theca lutein cysts, which are subject to spontaneous postpartum resolution, conservative treatment is the mainstay of patient management. Described herein is a rare case of theca lutein cysts with maternal virilization that failed to regress by 9 months after childbirth. Surgical intervention was eventually undertaken, necessitated by adnexal torsion.

In order to study the growth and maturation of ovarian follicle, the localization and activity of alkaline phosphatase(ALPase) and adenosine triphosphatase(ATPase) of the granulosa cells and theca layer were examined according to the follicle size, the follicle state and the ovarian cyclic phase in pig. Theca interna of the small follicles was more heavyly localized with reaction product by the activites of ALPase and ATPase than that of the large follicles. It is assumed that, as the follicles proceed to growth and maturation, antrum formation is the result of the follicular fluid accumulation by means of active transport by the activities of ALPase and ATPase in theca interna. The activities of ALPase and ATPase in atretic follicles were higher than those of normal follicles. These results imply that the mechanisms of follicle maturation and atresia are different according to the phase of ovarian cycle.

The four species of the family Dendrophylliidae are newly recorded in Korea: Balanophyllia (Balanophyllia) cumingii Milne Edwards and Haime, 1848, Balanophyllia (Balanophyllia) vanderhorsti Cairns, 2001, Cladopsammia eguchii (Wells, 1982), and Cladopsammia gracilis (Milne Edwards and Haime, 1848). The two genera of Balanophyllia and Cladopsammia, to which the four species belong, are newly recorded in Korea. They were collected from the subtidal zones in Jeju-do Island, Korea by SCUBA diving from 1987 to 2012. This study aims to identify the four dendrophyllid species based on external and internal morphological characters including growth form, size, budding, and color of colonies, shape and size of corallites, columella, theca, and septa. Balanophyllia (Balanophyllia) cumingii is distinguished by its solitary growth form, small and low subturbinate corallite with enlarged calice, and expanded basal part, exsert first and second septa, and Pourtal$\acute{e}$s plan. Balanophyllia (Balanophyllia) vanderhorsti is characterized by its quasi-colonial growth form, subturbinate corallites with compressed calice, thick theca, and Pourtal$\acute{e}$s plan. Cladopsammia eguchii is characterized by its phaceloid growth form of compressed corallites basally united with common coenosteum, flat spongy columella, thick theca, and Pourtal$\acute{e}$s plan. Cladopsammia gracilis is distinguished by its phaceloid growth form of corallites basally united with common coenosteum, and pronounced Pourtal$\acute{e}$s plan forming flower patterns.

본인 등은 참개구리를 이용하여 여포의 스테로이드 생성에 관한 two-cell type model을 제시한바 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 model이 북방산 개구리 (R. dybowskii)에도 적용 되는지와 협막세포층에 minor pathway(P 5$\longrightarrow$17$\alpha$-OHP$_4$)가 있는지의 여부를 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 북방산 개구리 난소로부터 intact follicles (IFs), granulosa cell enclosed-oocytes (GcEOs), theca/epithelium (THEP) layers 및 난구세포가 포함되어 있지 않은 순수한 theca/epithelium (P-THEP) layers를 미세해부기술로 분리해 내었다. 이들 여포 조직들은 전구 스테로이드나 개구리 뇌ㅏ수체추출물(FPH)이 포함되어 있는 배양액에서 6시간 배양한 후, 각 여포조직 의해 전환된 산물스테로이드의 양을 방사면역측정법으로 조사하였다.외부에서 첨가된 P 5와 P$_4$는 GcEOs와 IFs에 의하여 효율적으로 P$_4$혹은 17 $\alpha$-OHP$_4$로 전환되었으나 THEP에 의해서는 전환되지 않았다. 더욱이 순수한 협막층(P-THEP)에 의해서는 전환이 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 17 $\alpha$-OHP$_4$및 testosterone 역시 GCEOs와 IFs에 의해서 estradiol (E$_2$) 및 androstenedione (AD)으로 각각 전환되었으나 THEP에 위해서는 정환되지 않았다. 반면에, AD는 THEP과 IFs에 의해서만 T로 전환되어졌으며, AD를 제외한 다른 전구스테로이드들은 THEP 의해서도 T로 전환되지 못했다. 이러한 결과들은 P$_4$, 17 $\alpha$-OHP$_4$AD 및 E$_2$는 주로 난구세포에서 생성되고, T는 주로 협막세포에서 생성되며 T나 E$_2$의 효율적인 생성에 이들 두 세포의 협조가 필요하다는 것을 말해준다. 이는 참개구리에서 제시한 two-cell type model이 북방산개구리 여포의 스테로이드 생성과정에도 적용되며 협막 세포층에는 minor pathway ( P5 to 17$\alpha$-OHP$_4$)가 존재하지 않음을 또한 보여주고 있다.

In thecate dinoflagellates, the thecal plate pattern has been considered to be important criteria in their classifications. Due to this fact the shape of the theca and the arrangement of the theca were studied. In the pictures, the distinctions between the plates in the cells were so vague that I drew a diagram to illustrate the plate pattern. To identify the genus Protoperidinium, the shape of the first apical plate and the second anterior intercalary plate were used. Depending the shape of first apical plate, will be designated as meta(4), meta(5), para(4), para(5) or para(6). The shape of first apical plate is considered an important factor. From this point of view, the genus Protoperidinium as a group of planktonic protist in the coastal environment was classified.

In order to study the mechanism of follicle growth and maturation, and also to supplement the criteria identifying the follicle state of normal of atretic, the histochemical investigation on the ovarian follicles according to the ovarian cycle of mouse, rat and pig has been done. The intercellular space of granulosa cells, especailly Call-Exner body, and follicular fluid in the antrum showed positive to PAS, and blue stain by trichrome dye. The resutls suggest that the mucous polysaccharide was synthesized by the granulosa cells, and secreted into the antrum through Call-Exner body so as to be the components of the follicular fluid as the follicles proceeded to growth and maturation. The further the follicles proceeded to atresia the more densely their theca externa were stained blue by follicles proceeded to atresia the more densely their theca externa were stained blue by trichrome dye, and the more densely the granulosa cells were stained red by oil red 0 dye. Therefore, these staining methods can be applied to the criteria identifying the follicle atresia.
