미얀마 바간유적 파야톤주 사원벽화의 채색층은 다양한 요인으로 인해 손상이 발생된 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 미얀마 전통 접착제인 님(Neem) 수지를 대상으로 채색층 고착처리제로서의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 대조군으로 소아교와 Paraloid B-72를 선정하였으며, 원 벽화와 유사한 조건의 의사시료를 제작하여 고착제 도포 전·후 및 열화실험에 따른 변화양상을 확인하였다. 연구 결과, 님 수지는 농도가 높아짐에 따라 표면의 얼룩, 황변, 광택 등의 변화가 다른 고착제에 비해 크게 나타났으나, 4% 조건에서는 비교적 적은 변화가 확인되었다. 색도 및 광택도 역시 고착제 도포 전·후로 변화폭이 큰 것으로 확인되나, 다른 농도와 비교했을 때 4% 농도에서 낮은 경향이 확인되었다. 또한 고착강도의 경우, 님 수지의 농도가 높아짐에 따라 다른 고착제에 비해 바탕칠층 및 채색층에 대한 고착 능력이 전반적으로 우수한 점을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 환경요인에 따른 적은 표면변화, 낮은 색차 및 광택도, 우수한 고착강도의 특성들을 보았을 때 님 수지 4%의 조건에서 채색층 고착 처리제로서의 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 향후 파야톤주 사원벽화 보존처리를 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Plant specimens for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are commonly treated using standard protocols. Conventional fixatives consist of toxic chemicals such as glutaraldehyde, paraformaldehyde, and osmium tetroxide. In 1996, methanol fixation was reported as a rapid alternative to the standard protocols. If specimens are immersed in methanol for 30 s or longer and critical-point dried, they appear to be comparable in preservation quality to those treated with the chemical fixatives. A modified version that consists of methanol fixation and ethanol dehydration was effective at preserving the tissue morphology and dimensions. These solvent-based fixation and dehydration protocols are regarded as rapid and simple alternatives to standard protocols for SEM of plants.

The effect of freeze drying and fixatives in post-treating freeze drying on the morphological properties of the rose (Rosa hybrida L.) petal were investigated for the production of high quality of freeze dried rose. The morphology including form and color of the dried flowers of cut rose were depended on the drying methods. The drying time was extended due to their density and water content, and was shorter in the freeze drying than that in the natural and hot air drying. Freeze dried process for dried flowers took 2 days in a freeze dryer and did not cause shrinkage or toughening of rose petal being dried, preserving its natural shape and color. The diameter of freeze dried flowers showed little reduction compared to fresh flowers. In Hunter color values of petals of freeze dried flowers, L and a values were high and showed little variations in comparison to fresh petals. Freeze drying led to a noticeable increase in anthocyanin contents in petals, suggesting that anthocyanin contents play an important role in the acquisition of freezing tolerance. Exposure of flowers to freeze drying was accompanied by an increase in the carotenoid content. In the post-treating freeze drying, epoxy resin, a fixative, applied alone or in combination to petals of freeze dried flowers showed efficient coating for the protection from humidity and sunlight. Combined application of epoxy and acetone to freeze dried petals permitted maintenance of natural color and excellent tissue morphology, showing color stability and shiny texture in surface of petals. These findings suggest that application of fixatives to freeze dried rose petals improves the floral preservation and epoxy coating provides good quality in the freeze dried flower product.

대형 갈조류 미세구조 연구의 문제점인 원형질 분리 현상을 다양한 농도의 고정액과 완충용액을 조합한 일련의 고정액으로 연구 검토하였다. 1차고정액 조성 중 1470 mosmol 고정액 조성($3\%$ glutaraldehyde, $2.4\%$ paraformaldehyde, 0.05M cacodylate buffer, 0.2M sucrose, $0.5\%$ caffeine, pH 7.2) 이 뚜렷하지는 않았으나 원형질분리 현상의 빈도가 비교적 적었다. 각 고정액 조성과 원형질분리 현상의 빈도와의 연관성은 각 고정액 별로 큰 차이를 보여 주지 않았으나, osmolarity가 증가하면서 분리 현상의 빈도와 정도가 감소하였다. 그 중 원형질분리 현상의 빈도가 가장 낮은 고정액을 이용하여 점도가 낮은 레이진을 사용하여 침투 과정에서의 원형질분리 가능성을 분석하였으나 특별한 차이가 없었다. 전반적으로 다시마(Laminaria religiosa)의 특징인 다량의 점액질 때문에 고정액의 침투가 어렵고, 점액질의 분비에 따른 세포내 생리적 기작들이 원형질막의 고정을 난이하게 만드는 요인으로 확인되었으나, 다른 세포 내용물들의 고정 상태는 양호하였다.

In diagnosing a brain tumor, it is essential to obtain samples from many areas of the tumor. Although there are reports about the suitability of material obtained by cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator(CUSA), there is a paucity of reports regarding conventional intraoperative suction. This study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of the suction fluid and the effect of different hemolytic fixatives. Intraoperative suction fluid was obtained from 2 pituitary adenomas and 2 choroid plexus carcinomas. In two cases of mixed astro-oligodendroglioma, one of glioblastoma multiforme and 3 of meningioma, the fluid was collected by CUSA. Each sample was divided into four bottles for the different fixatives such as 0.1N HCI, 10% acetic acid, 95% alcohol, and no additive. All cases were evaluated by the both cytologic smear and cell block preparations, and were reviewed with concomitant histologic diagnosis. The result showed a good correlation between the cytologic study and the histologic diagnosis and 95% alcohol was found to be superior to other fixatives in ceil preservation.

Pathological tissue fixation using formalin has been widely used for histological samples in many hospitals and institutions. In general, formalin fixatives were either manufactured in laboratories or purchased commercially because of the risks and environmental concerns of handling organic compounds. In this study, the efficacy of three kinds of commercially purchased and one laboratory-made formalin fixative was compared in the PCR-based molecular diagnosis using the extracted DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. The quality of extracted DNA from FFPE tonsil tissues with four kinds of formalin solutions was evaluated, and PCR for beta-globin gene and microsatellite instabilities (MSI) tests for pentaplex panel markers were performed using the extracted DNA. There was no difference in PCR and MSI tests as molecular diagnoses regardless of the types of formalin used in this study. However, the total amount and average length of double-stranded DNA extracted from FFPE tonsil tissue showed significant differences according to the type of formalin fixative. Optimized formalin fixatives and methods for DNA extraction might be sophisticated to extract good quality DNA from the small size of specific tissue samples. Further studies are needed to select the most effective formalin fixative for histology and molecular pathology using human FFPE tissues.

Evaluation of serous effusions can include immunocytochemical stains that differentiate reactive mesothelial cell from adenocarcinoma cell. Among several positive mesothelial cell markers, we used desmin, CK5/6, WT1 and calretinin all known to have high sensitivity and specificity as selective mesothelial cell markers. We studied smears obtained with cytospin from 15 malignant and eight benign effusions. The mesothelial cells were positively stained by desmin, CK5/6, WT1 and calretinin in 60.9%, 29.1%, 26.7% and 56.5%, respectively among 8 benign and 15 malignant effusions; the adenocarcinoma cells were positively stained 6.7%, 13.3%, 1.0% and 0.0%, respectively among 15 malignant effusions. The percentage of positively stained mesothelial cells were somewhat lower for all antibodies compared to the results of previous studies. This was likely due to the differences in preparation methods and fixatives among studies. In conclusion, the use of desmin and calretinin were more valuable than CK5/6 and WT1 for distinguishing between reactive mesothelial cell and adenocarcinoma cells in serous effusion; however, choice of the proper preparation methods and fixatives are also important

A survey was undertaken to evaluate the present status of intestinal infection in army soldiers. Stool specimen of 417 soldiers fixed by SAF solution were collected from a camp located in area of Nakdong river during the period from August to October of 1990. And these stool samples were examined by formalin-ether sedimentation technique once for helminths and protozoan cysts stained with Lugol's iodine solution. The results obtained in this survey were summarized as follows : l) The overall positive rate of intestinal parasite was 18.0%. 2) The egg positive rate of intestinal helminth was 15.1%, : and 11.5% for Clonorchis sinensis. 5.0% for Metagonimus vokogawai, 1.2% for Ascaris lumbricoides 1.7% for Trichiuris trichiura. 0.2% for Taenia sp. 3) The cyst positive rate of intestinal protozoa was 4.1% ; and 1.4% for Entamoeba coli, 1.9% for Giardia lamblia 0.7% for Entamoeba histolytica, 0.5% for Endolimax nana. 4) Most of samples were positive(85.3%) by single species. 10.7% by two species, 2.7% by three species and 1.3% by four species. 5) Infection rate of intestinal parasites among army soldiers decreased distinctly compared with previous data but it is revealed that the infection rate of Clonorchis sinensis among army soldiers in area of Nakdong river is still high in comparison with ever-reported data. 6) SAF fixatives used in this field survey during summertime was useful to conserve protozoan cyst and helminths ova. Also we could examine stool samples directly by formalin-ether sedimentation technique.
