Herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK) is an inflammatory disorder induced by HSV-1 infection and characterized by T cell-dependent destruction of corneal tissues. It is not known what triggers $CD4^+$ T cell migration into the stroma of HSV-1-infected corneas. The keratocyte is a fibroblast-like cell that can function as an antigen-presenting cell in the mouse cornea by expressing MHC class II and costimulatory molecules after HSV-1 infection. We hypothesized that chemokines produced by stromal keratocytes are involved in $CD4^+$ T cell infiltration into the cornea. We found that keratocytes produce several cytokines and chemokines, including MCP-1, RANTES, and T cell activation (TCA)-3. HSV-1 infection increased the production of MCP-1 and RANTES by keratocytes, and these acted as chemoattractants for HSV-1-primed $CD4^+$ T cells expressing CCR2 and CCR5.

Expression of MCP-1 in the corneal stroma was confirmed in vivo. Finally, when HSV-1-primed $CD4^+$ T cells were adoptively transferred into wild type and MCP-1-deficient mice that had been sublethally irradiated to minimize chemokine production from immune cells, infiltration of $CD4^+$ T cells was markedly reduced in the MCP-1-deficient mice, suggesting that it is the MCP-1 from HSV-1-infected keratocytes that attracts $CD4^+$ T cells into the cornea.

이 실험은 약재(Cnidium officinale Makino와 Tabanus bovinus)를 이용한 장요막과 흰쥐 각막에서의 항신생혈관 효과를 규명하기 위한 것이다. 먼저, 배 발생과정 중 자연스러운 신생혈관이 생성되는 장요막에서의 신생혈관 억제를 위한 실험에서는 유정란을 $37^{\circ}C$, 포화습도상태인 incubator에 넣어 4일 경과 후 주사바늘을 계란의 흠집에 찔러 넣어 알부민 3ml를 추출하고 계란의 둥근 부분에 지름 2cm의 창을 내고 투명테이프로 막아 incubation시킨다. 이때, 장요막의 직경이 3~5 mm인 embryo를 신생혈관 억제 실험에 사용하였으며, retinoic acid는 양성 대조군으로 이용되었다. 혈관이 뻗어 나오고 있는 장요막에 retinoic acid($10{\mu}g/egg$)를 처리한 후 48시간이 경과되었을 때 현저하게 혈관의 분포가 감소되었음을 알 수 있다. 이와 유사한 신생혈관 억제 효과가 약재(Cnidium officinale Makino와 Tabanus bovinus) ($50{\mu}g/egg$)를 시약으로 처리했을 경우에도 나타났다. 다음은 각막을 봉합하여 투명한 각막에 인위적으로 신생혈관을 유도하는 실험으로 흰쥐를 복강 마취시킨 후 10-0nylon용 사용하여 각막의 중앙부를 전층으로 한번 봉합한 후 각막의 염증을 막고자 terramycin을 하루에 한번씩 일주일간 점안하였다. 약재를 처리하지 않은 각막에서는 봉합 후 2~3일째 많은 혈관들이 뻗어 나오는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 5~6일 이내에 각막기능 손상부위까지 혈관이 뻗어 나가는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 봉합 후 3주일째의 신생혈관 분포가 최고치에 달했다. 이에 비해 약재(Cnidium officinale Makino와 Tabanus bovinus) ($20{\mu}g/kg$)를 4주간 구강투여한 흰쥐의 각막에서는 신생혈관 억제에 주목할 만한 효과를 보였다. 대조군 흰쥐와 비교해 보았을 때에도 약재를 구강 투여한 흰쥐의 각막에서 신생혈관이 상당히 줄어든 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 신생혈관 억제제로 효능을 인정받은 thalidomide와 비교해 보았을 때에도 현저한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때, 이 약재(Cnidium officinale Makine와 Tabanus bovinus) 는 항신생혈관의 특성을 가지고 있으며, 이 특성은 각막에서 뿐 아니라 다른 부위의 종양을 억제하고 그 전이를 막는 약리학적인 측면에도 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Methods: The eye irritation test of this material was performed according to the Regulation of Korea Food & Drug Administration(2005. 10. 21, KFDA 2005-60). After Fel Ursi pharmacopuncture solution was medicated in the left eye of the rabbits, the author observed eye irritation of the cornea, iris, conjunctiva at 1, 2, 3, 4 & 7day. Results: 1. After Fel Ursi pharmacopuncture solution was medicated in the left eye of the rabbits, there wasn't physical problem at 9 rabbits. 2. After Fel Ursi pharmacopuncture solution was medicated in the left eye of the rabbits, there wasn't eye irritation of the cornea, iris, conjunctiva at 1, 2, 3, 4 & 7day. Conclusions: I suggested that Fel Ursi pharmacopuncture solution didn't induced eye irritation in rabbits.

Tarsorrhaphy is widely used to protect the cornea, reduce evaporation of tears, and facilitate reepithelialization of the ocular surface. However, a dilemma ensues in patients when frequent neurological evaluations and postoperative examinations are needed. The modified temporary tarsorrhaphy in this study was simple to perform, provided stable eyelid closure, and could be opened and closed as needed. It could be easily reversed with minimal complications of the eyelid and it allowed the surgeon to control traction of the bolsters in all of 45 dogs with corneal epithelial defects. Also, The globe could be examined without further anesthesia, sutures, and pain at any time after surgery. It was concluded that this modified method might be effective for evaluation of the corneal healing process and useful for ocular surface reconstruction clinically.

Despite specimens' large size and ease of collection in northeast Asian waters, the species diversity of the genus Grateloupia still needs more research in Korea. We investigated plastid rbcL sequences and carried out detailed morphological observation on flattened halymeniacean red alga collected in twelve locations around Korea and Japan. We describe Grateloupia jejuensis sp. nov. based on the distinct clade with high support in our rbcL tree. Grateloupia jejuensis is characterized by solitary or caespitose habit and flattened thalli with discoid holdfast, cartilaginous texture, and blunt or bifid axis. Grateloupia jejuensis was distantly related to G. elata and G. cornea, which have been morphologically confused with the former, and it formed a sister relationship with Prionitis filiformis from California, USA in the rbcL tree.
