This study was made for the better information of the male reproductive system on the meat-type drake, Cherry Belly X White Golden. The epithelium of ductules of epididymal region and deferent duct were observed histologically and histochemically with the progress of their development. India-ink absorbability on the luminal epithelium was also investigated after the administration of India-ink. The results are as follows; 1. Rete testis and various round ductules in immature form appeared in epididymis within 6 weeks after hatching, and simple cuboidal and simple columnar epithelium were found in the epithelia of the ductules within 8 weeks after hatching. Larger ductules were found on epididymal surface which was in the developing stage near to the immature efferent ductule. From 10th to 20th week, various ductules appeared in epididymis, and developing form of efferent ductules were much more increased on epididymal surface. The luminal epithelium of the ductules were composed of ciliated simple columnar and pseudostratified ciliated columnar cells. At the same time, deferent duct appeared. From the 21th week, various ductules in epididymis became abruptly matured. Lumen of rete testis was lined by simple squamous or simple cuboidal epithelium, and that of efferent ductules, having many folds and being larger than any others were lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium in which ciliated columnar cells, non-ciliated cells(clear cells) and basal cells were noted. Connecting tubules of star shaped lumen were composed of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium in which ciliated columnar cells, nonciliated cells, and basal cells were observed. The luminal surface of epididymal ducts was smooth and has thick pseudostratified columnar epithelium which was composed of high columnar cells and basal cells. From 26th week after hatching, sperm pooling was started in various ductules. 2. From 4th to 10th week, simple cuboidal epithelium of deferent duct transformed to simple columnar epithelium with the progress of aging. At the basement of epithelium, clear round cells were noted. From 12th to 20th week, high columnar cells with enlongated nucleus were noted on the luminal border of deferent ducts, forming folds of pseuclostratified columnar epithelium. From 20th week, the deferent duct started to have septa in it's lumen and composed mainly of pseudostratified columnar epithelium, and round cells disappeared. From 20th week, the lumen diameter of deferent duct became wider with the progress of aging, but there was no difference among the values of lumen diameter in upper, middle, and lower part of deferent ducts. At 26th week, the pooling period of sperms in deferent ducts, the lumen diameter became rapidly widen, especially in the lower part of deferent ducts. Thickness of muscular layer of ductus deferens showed gradual growth within 24 weeks but did abrupt thickening from 26th week. 3. Saliva resistant PAS granules were dotted on the top of nucleus in efferent ductules epithelium but the amount of the granules were little in the connecting ductules's epithelium. The granules reactive to acid phosphatase were abundant in the some epithelial cells of efferent ductules and connecting ductules, especially above the nucleus of cells. The granules reactive to alkaline phosphatase were noted on the luminal border of efferent ductules. Parts of free border of efferent ductules and middle portion of deferent ducts were stained slightly by alcian blue technique. India ink granules were found mainly in the epithelium of efferent ductules but were few in that of connecting ductules.

교정력에 의한 치주조직의 변화를 알아보기 위해 성장중인 유성견에서 단기간의 교정력이 가해진 직후와 보정기간 동안 일어나는 치아와 골조직의 변화양상을 조직학적으로 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 생후 4-6개월된 유성견 3마리를 이용하여, 각 실험동물의 하악 좌측 견치 와 제1대구치는 실험군으로, 우측 견치 와 제1대구치는 대조군으로 하였다. 하악견치와 제1대구치에 치관사이에서 최초 교정력이 200gm이 되도록 0.018"x0.022" S.S closed coil spring(Dentarum Co)의 길이를 조절하여 치아에 결찰시키고 장치는 1주간 활성화기간을 갖은 후 14일, 28일의 보정기간을 거쳐 희생시켜 하악골을 절제하여 통법에 따라 H-E염색군, 연마표본군, ALP염색군, TRAP염색군등으로 나누어 염색을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 교정력을 종료한 직후 견인측 치주인대 폭경이 대조군보다 더 증가된 상을 보이고, 반대로 압박측은 폭경이 감소된 소견을 보이며 치주인대의 섬유들이 치축에 수직으로 압축되며 초자양 변성이 관찰되었다. 대조군에서 관찰되는 다수의 규칙적인 배열을 보였던 조골세포가 견인측에서는 간혹 관찰되었다. 2. 교정력 종료후 14일 보정기간 경과군 치주인대내 섬유아세포들이 증식되어 초자지질대가 회복되는 소견이 관찰되었고 견인측 치주인대의 폭경이 교정력을 종료한 직후군보다 감소하였으며, 소수의 ALP(+) 조골세포와 함께 신생골형성도 관찰되었다. 압박측 치주인대의 폭경은 교정력을 종료한 직후군보다 다소 증가하였으며 골흡수도 증가되었다. 3. 교정력 종료후 28일 보정기간 경과군 치주인대섬유는 정상적으로 회복되어 대조군과 유사한 양상을 보였고 견인측 치조골내 다수의 ALP(+)조골세포와 활발한 신생골형성이 관찰됨과 더불어 압박측 치조골은 다수의 TRAP(+)파골세포와 왕성한 골흡수양상을 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 교정력을 7일간 가한 직후 유리질화가 관찰되었고 교정력을 종료후 28일 보정기간 경과군에서 압박측에서는 파골세포 견인측에서는 조골세포의 활성과 함께 각각에서 왕성한 골흡수와 신생골형성이 관찰됨을 알 수 있다.

To maintain its functional integrity, bone is continuously remodelled by a process involving resorption by osteoeclasts and formation by osteoblasts, In order to respond to changes in the physical environment or to trauma with the relevant action, this process is strictly regulated by locally synthesized or systemic fators, Prostaglandin $E_2(PGE_2$) is perhaps one of the best studied factors, having been known to affect bone cell function for several decades.$PGE_2$ has both anabolic and catabolic activities. Excess of $PGE_2$ has been implicated in a number of pathological states associated with bone loss in a number of chronic inflammatory conditions such as periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis. $PGE_2$ and other arachidonic acid metabolites have been shown to be potent stimulators of osteoclastic bone resorption in organ culture. The anabolic effects of $PGE_2$ were first noticed when an increase in periosteal woven bone formation was seen after the infusion of $PGE_2$ into infants in order to prevent closure of the ductus arteriosus. The cellular basis for the catabolic actions of $PGE_2$ has been well characterized. $PGE_2$increases osteoclast recruitment in bone marrow cell cultures. Also $PGE_2$ has a direct action on osteoclast serving to inhibit activity and can also indirectly activate osteoclast via other cells in the vicinity, presumably osteoblast. The cellular mechanisms for the anabolic actions of $PGE_2$ are not nearly so well understood. The purpose of this paper was to study the effects of $PGE_2$ and dibutyl(DB)cAMP on osteoblastic clone MC3T3El cells and on the generation of osteoclasts from their precursor cells. The effect of $PGE_2$ and DBcAMP on the induction of alkaline phoaphatase(AlP) was investigated in osteoblastic clone MC3T3El cells cultured in medium containing 0.4% fetal bovine serum. $PGE_2$ and DBcAMP stimulated ALP activity and MTT assay in the cells in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations of lO-SOOng/ml. Cycloheximide, protein synthesis inhibitor, inhibited the stimulative effect of $PGE_2$ and DBcAMP on ALP activity in the cells. $PGE_2$also increased the intracellular cAMP content in a dose-dependent fashion with a maximal effect at 500ng/ml. The effect of $PGE_2$ on the generation of osteoclasts was investigated in a coculture system of mouse bone marrow cells with primary osteoblastic cells cultured in media containing 10% fetal bovine serum.After cultures, staining for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)-marker enzyme of osteoclast was performed. The TRAP(+) multinucleated cells(MNCs), which have 3 or more nuclei, were counted. More TRAP(+) MNCs were formed in coculture system than in control group. $PGE_2(10^{-5}10^{-6}M)$ stimulated the formation of osteoclast cells from mouse bone marrow cells in culture. $PGE_2(10^{-6}M)$ stimulated the formation of osteoclast cells from mouse bone marrow cells in coculture of osteoblastic clone MC3T3E1 cells This results suggest that $PGE_2$ stimulates the differentiation of osteoblasts and generation of osteoclast, and are involved in bone formation, as well as in bone resorption.
