The spermatogenesis of pale chub (Zacco platypus) was investigated morphologically. The testis of pale chub contained numerous testicular sacs. These testicular sacs were bounded on neighboring sacs by single layer of squamous cells. Also, differentiated sperms were filled in the sacs. In the stage of spermatogonium, the germ cells had a large nucleus and a distinct nucleolus, and mitochondrial development was prominent. In the primary and secondary spermatogonia, these cells had a round electron-dense nucleus, reduced cytoplasm, and mitochondria were congregated in the side of cytoplasm. The highly condensed chromatin of sperms was electron-dense, the acrosome was not found in the head of the sperm and a motile flagellum consisted of an axoneme with a typical 9+2 pattern of microtubules.

A case of malignant epithelial mesothelioma of the peritoneum diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology is described. The smear showed many Individually scattered or clustered large round malignant epithelial cells intermingled with relatively small nonneoplastic mesothelial and mesenchymal cells. Papillary configurations with thick fibrous core were also seen. The malignant cells were virtually reminiscent of reactive mesothelial cells but they were larger in size and had more prominent nucleoli and more frequent binucleated or multinucleated cell formations than reactive mesothelial cells. The characteristic features of malignant cell of mesothelioma compared with the metastatic adenocarcinoma were relatively uniform cellular size, prominent round nucleoli, large round vesicular nuclei with finely granular chromatin pattern, smooth nuclear membrane, abundant glassy cytoplasm rather than bubbly mucin-containing cytoplasm and fuzzy cell border.

Angiomyolipoma of the liver is a rare benign tumor that's composed of variable mixtures of adipose tissue, smooth muscle and thick-walled blood vessels. We report here on the imprint cytologic features of a hepatic angiomyolipoma in a 47-year-old man. The smears showed spindle and epithelioid tumor cells in clusters, trabeculae and single cells. The spindle cells had elongated, cigar-shaped nuclei with finely granular chromatin and fibrillary cytoplasm. The epithelioid cells had round nuclei with a moderate amount of cytoplasm. Any adipose tissue was not found. Immunohistochemically, both the spindle and epithelioid cells revealed cytoplasmic positivity for smooth muscle actin and HMB-45.

The ability of oocytes to undergo normal fertilization and embryo development is acquired during oocyte maturation which is transition from the germinal vesicle stage (GV), germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) to metaphase of meiosis II (MII). Part of this process includes redistribution of inositol 1, 4, 5-triphosphate receptor (IP3R), a predominant $Ca^{2+}$ channel on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Type 1 IP3R (IP3R1) is expressed in mouse oocytes dominantly. At GV stage, IP3R1 are arranged as a network throughout the cytoplasm with minute accumulation around the nucleus. At MII stage, IP3R1 diffuses to the entire cytoplasm in a more reticular manner, and obvious clusters of IP3R1 are observed at the cortex of the egg. This structural reorganization provides acquisition of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ oscillatory activity during fertilization. In this review, general properties of IP3R1 in somatic cells and mammalian oocyte are introduced.

바퀴 (Blattella germanica L.)의 중장 상피내에 있는 분비과립세포를 전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 직경이 약 $200{\AA}$크기의 분비과립을 가지고 있는 secretory granul cell은 그 형태와 위치 그리고 세포질의 염색성에 따라 3가지 types으로 구별할 수 있다. 1) 세포와 핵의 형태가 구형이면서 세포질 내에는 mitochondria, vacuoles등 세포 소기이관 풍부한 light secretory granul ceil, 2) 세포는 작고 타원형이며 세포질 내에는 세포 소기관들이 발달하지 않았으며, 재생세포 집단의 기부에 위치하는 light secretory granular cell, 3) 세포는 원추형이면서 세포질 내에는 endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes등이 풍부하며 많은 수의 분비과립을 가지며, 세포질은 짙은 염색성을 나타내는 dark secretory granul cell등인데 이들은 모두 상피조직의 기저막상에 밀착되어 있다.

To investigate the morphology of the synovial lining cells, synovitis was induced by carrageenin injection into the rat knee joint cavities. Synovial membranes were excised at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days, and histologic, electron microscopic, histochemical (periodic acid Schiff: PAS, toluidine blue), and enzyme histochemical (acid phosphatase: ACP, nonspecific esterase: NSE and endogenous peroxidase) studies were performed. The results are as follows: Carrageenin induced synovial membrane hypertrophy with synovial cell proliferation and granuloma formation. The proliferated synovial lining cells and macrophages in the granulomatous lesion had round to oval nuclei and large, plump cytoplasm with many phagocytotic materials and vacuoles. Electron microscopically, these cells had small number of granular endoplasmic reticulum and many lysosomes, phagosomes and vaculoes. Mitotic figures were observed at early stage of experiment. PAS and toluidine blue stains showed strongly positive reaction in the cytoplasm of the proliferated lining cells and macrophages in granulomatous lesion. ACP and NSE activities were strong positive in the cytoplasm of the proliferated synovial lining cells and macrophages in the granulomatous lesion. But endogenous peroxidase stains were negative in all prolifeative lining cells and macrophages in granulomatous lesion. Conclusively, carrageenin-induced synovitis showed proliferation of synovial lining cells and granuloma formation in deep layer. The macrophages, which consisted of the lesions and have active phagocytic function, were speculated to proliferate by mitosis of superficial synovial A cells and histiocytes in the deep layer of the synovial membrane.

대하 아가미의 형태와 미세구조를 광학현미경과 전자현미경으로 조사하였다. 대하는 수지형 아가미를 가진 다. 아가미는 출새관과 입새관을 구분하는 세로 격벽을 가진다. 각각의 새판은 전자밀도가 다른 다층구조의 큐터클로 싸여 있다. 새판 기저세포들은 편평형이며, 전자밀도가 높은 세포질을 가진다. 상피세포층은 단층으로 큰 핵을 가진 편평상피로 구성된다. 새판의 기둥구조는 세로방향의 미세소관들과 측면 membrane interdigitation을 가진다. AB-PAS음성 분비세포들은 다세포선의 형태이다. 활성화된 선에서 각 세포의 경계부는 뚜렷하지 않으며, 세포질에는 활면소포체, 미토콘드리아, 전자밀도가 낮으며 막을 가진 분비소포들과 granular rosettes를 가진다. 비 활성화된 선에서는 세포 경계가 뚜렷하며, 세포질에서는 전자밀도가 높은 다수의 작은 과립들이 산재한다. 그리고 alcian blue에 양성인 단세포 분비세포들은 세포질에 발달된 다수의 골지체와 조면소포체들을 함유한다.

미분화된 엽상체 및 연결사와 뿌리로만 구성되어 있는 개구리밥(Spiroela polyrhiza)식물체의 구조분화 양상이 연구되었다. 엽상체는 엽육세포 내에 발달하여 있는 다수의 엽록체와 않은 막으로 구획화된 기실이 잘 발달되어 있어 광합성 및 부유에 중요한 역할을 하고, 측부로 발달하는 연결사에는 기실이 형성되어 있지 많으며 탈리층을 형성하여 모엽상체와 자엽상체를 분리시킨다. 뿌리는 흡수 및 식물체의 중심을 잡는데 중요한 역할을 하며, 근단부위에는 액포화된 근관세포층이 뚜렷히 발달하여 있다. 뿌리의 피층에는 원주형 기실이 형성되어 있으며 피층세포 내에는 잘 발달된 골지체, 미토콘드리아, rER등의 세포소기관들이 치밀하게 분포하였다. 엽상체, 연결사, 뿌리세포에는 엽록체가 발달하며 다수의 원형질 연락사가 분포하였다. 개구리밥은 10mm내외의 매우 축소된 식물체를 구성하나 효율적으로 잘 발달된 구조 분화체계를 이룬다. 이러한 구조는 수표면에 부유하여 빠르게 생장 및 증식하는 작은 식물체 크기와 이들의 괌은 생활환과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 추정된다.

To determine the differences in the in-vitro ovum maturation process of bovine, we compared the expression of MMPs in these oocytes and cumulus cell throughout oocytes maturated. In an attempt to investigate the effect of MMP activation and inhibitors in total protein of cumulus cell and, oocytes during oocytes maturation, we examined and monitored the localization and expression of MMPs (MMP-2 and MMP-9), TIMPs (TIMP-2 and TIMP-3), as well as their expression profiles (Real-time PCR, Gelatin Zymography and ELISA). Our results that the bovine oocytes MMP-2 and MMP-9 level was significantly associated with the rate of maturity of oocytes (P<0.05). In cumulus cell, MMP-2 was highly expressed in all stages of the oocyte's maturation. The final oocytes maturation exhibited strong gelatinase activity. There was no significant correlation between cumulus cell MMP-9 and the maturation rate of oocytes. However, for the oocyte cytoplasm MMP-9 expression was significant correlation to the maturation oocytes. There was no significant correlation between cumulonimbus cells MMP-9 and oocyte maturation rates; however, for oocyte cytoplasm, MMP-9 expression was significantly correlated with mature oocyte. However, the TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 protein expression patterns are not correlated with the maturation rate of the oocyte. Our results suggest that MMP different expression pattern may regulate the morphological remodeling of oocyte's in the cumulus cell. Further, the MMP-2 expression has a strong relation with a higher maturation rate of the oocyte.
