In order for vitamin D to be active, it needs to get metabolized to 1, 25 (OH)$_2$D3. This active metabolite of vitamin D induces epithelial cell differentiation and is antiproliferative. However, at the efficacious concentration, the natural ligand for VDR is hypercalcemic and toxic to cells. Therefore, numerous analogs have been synthesized with the hope of generating a compound that retains vitamin D activity and is non-toxic.(omitted)

A round, milkish white mass, approximately $4{\times}4{\times}5cm$ in size was found at the cranial part of the left kidney from a New Zealand White rabbit which was used as an untreated control animal in the safety evaluation test in the Toxicology Research Center, Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology. The mass was lobulated and encapsulated. The cut surface revealed several round well-circumscribed lobules which were 0.5-3cm in diameter. No metastasis was observed. The microscopic features consisted of blastema and epithelial structures at variable stages of differentiation including primitive tubules, ducts, glomeruloid bodies. Normal mesenchymal cells were distributed among them. A diagnosis of nephroblastoma was made on the basis of the gross and microscopic features.

This paper dealt with histopathological observations of the nephroblastoma in the pregnant pig died on 8 days before paturation day. The results summarized as follows: Authors considered that in necropsy finding the pregnant pig died of circulative and respiratory disturbance by compression of fetus and renal tumor weighing about 12Kg. In microscopical findings of the renal tumor it was composed of well differentiated tumor cells and connective tissue elements. As differentiation of the neoplastic epithelial cells progressed, tubular and cystic structures, and papillary structures resembled to glomeruli appeared. This tumor was regarded as nephrohlastoma.

An experimental study was performed to observe the epithelial-mesenchymal interacion in the developing odontogenic tissue of 10-18 days rat embryos. Several results were obtained with the histochemical study of this experimentss. 1. Through invagination of dental lamina, P A S mucicarmine staining of middle and basal cells was shown to have weak reaction. but in mesenchymal cells, these staining was reacted with diffus form. 2. In accordance with the differentiation of enamel organ, these odontogenic tissue was being to form mesenchymal condensation, it was alse shown that the intermesenchymal cell was stained deeply with colloidal iron and alcian blue.

Carcinosarcoma of the lung is a rare turner with an admixture of malignant epithelial(carcinomatous) and malignant mesenchymal (sarcomatous) components. Clinicopathologically, pulmonary carcinosarcoma has been divided into two types by its anatomical locations and growth nature, peripheral parenchymal and central endobronchial variants. We experienced an endobronchial carcinosarcoma that induced complete atelectasis of the right lung due to polypoid growing mass from the right upper lobe bronchus in a 67 year old male smoker. The patient underwent a successful right pneumonectomy. The tumor was composed of squamous cell carcinoma with variable sarcomatous differentiation into myogenous and undifferenciated sarcoma that demonstrated by immunohistochemical study. The patient has been doing well for the last seven months since the operation, without metastases or turner recurrence.

Gremlin-1 (GREM1) has been defined as an antagonist of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), particularly during embryonic development and tissue differentiation. However, recent studies have shown that GREM1 has BMPs-dependent or -independent functions in diverse human diseases. GREM1 plays a key role in the process of organ fibrosis, including lungs, kidneys, and so on. The GREM1-induced fibrosis typically promotes the development of other diseases, such as pulmonary hypertension, renal inflammation, and diabetic nephropathy. More recently, considerable evidence has been reported showing that GREM1 is involved in the promotion and/or progression of tumors in vitro and in vivo. It also performs an oncogenic role in the maintenance of cancer stem cells. Although GREM1 is known to function in a variety of diseases, here we focus on the role of GREM1 in cancer, and suggest GREM1 as a potential therapeutic target in certain types of cancer.

Adrenal cystic lymphangiomas are extremely rare entities that are often identified incidentally, with less than 60 cases reported to date. We found a protruding ovoid mass consisting of a multiloculated cystic lesion within right adrenal gland in the cadaver of a 75-year-old Korean man. The epithelial cells lining the adrenal cyst were diffusely positive for cluster of differentiation 31 and podoplanin, and negative for pan-cytokeratin. The histopathological diagnosis confirmed a cystic lymphangioma arising from the adrenal gland. Post-mortem findings of the present case are discussed based on the clinicopathological features of adrenal cystic lymphangiomas.

본 연구는 북방전복의 생식생물학적 정보를 제공하고 아울러 성의 인위적인 조절에 필요한 정보를 제공하기 위하여 수행하였다. 북방전복의 형태학적 성분화 과정은 크게 다음과 같이 5단계로 구분할 수 있었다. 1) 생식소 외막 형성 (FGOM) (${\leq}SL\;10.0{\pm}1.0mm$), 2) 장과 간췌장 사이의 결체조직에 시원생식세포 (PGCs: primordial germ cells) 출현 (PAC) 및 생식소 내강 형성 (FGC) (SL $15.0{\pm}2.0mm$), 3) 생식소 내강 상피층에 PGCs 출현 (PAG) (SL $18.0{\pm}2.0mm$), 4) 생식세포형성소낭 형성, 초기 난모세포 및 정원세포 출현 (FGOC) (SL $21.0{\pm}2.0mm$), 5) 형태학적 성분화 (MSD) (${\geq}SL\;23.0{\pm}2.0mm$). 조직학적 분석 결과, 각장 24.1-25.0 mm 그룹에서 북방전복의 성분화율은 90.0%였으며, 성비 (암:수)는 1:0.8로 나타났다.

Heat shock protein (HSP) expression is unregulated in tumor cells and, HSP expression is likely marker of the malignant potential of oral epithelial lesion. Furthermore, the 70kDa HSP is implicated in the degree of tumor differentiation, the rate of tumor proliferation and the magnitude of the anti-tumor Immune response. Accordingly, the distribution and intensity of HSP70 and HSP47 expression was assessed in the DMBA induced oral carcinogenesis in hamster. Golden Syrian hamsters which were 3 months-age and $90{\sim}120g$ were collected. 9,10-dimethyl -1,2-benzanthracene (DMBA) in a 0.5% solution in mineral oil was painted on the buccal pouch mucosa 3 times per week in the study group. In each control and experimental groups of 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 weeks, specimen were sectioned for immunohistochemical study with anti-HSP47 and anti-HSP70 antibody. The following results were obtained. 1. HSP47 positive cells were race or negative of normal oral mucosa, increased mildly in basal and suprabasal basal layer, and spinous cell layer after experimental 6 weeks (dysplastic or CIS stage). In CIS stage, HSP47 expression is prominent in dysplastic free or normal adjacent epithelium. 2. HSP47 positive cells in connective tissue were mainly inflammatory cells, which is gradually increased from control to precancerous and cancer stage. But HSP47 positive cells after 14 weeks were decreased, especially normal and cancer adjacent epithelium. 3. The positive staining cells of HSP70 in control, dysplastic, and CIS stage were not seen. But they were mild findings in basal layer and moderate findings in spinous layer after experimental 14 weeks (cancer stage). 4. HSP70 positive cells were increased in precancerous and cancer stage than control group in connective tissue. After experimental 16 weeks, we could not find the HSP expression in cancer cells according to cancer differentiation or cancer stage. It is concluded that HSP70 or HSP47 expression is not a definitive marker of oral malignancy or malignant potential. However, with further development, HSP immunoreactivity may be valuable as an adjunct to conventional histology for assessing the malignant potential of oral mucosal lesions.
