알킬화제로 잘 알려진 ethane 1,2-dimethane sulfonate(EDS)는 여러 종에서 선택적인 Leydig 세포(LC) 독성과 정소 기능장애에 연구 모델로 널리 사용된다. EDS 투여에 의해 유도된 LC 녹아웃 흰쥐의 경우, 부정소와 저정낭과 같은 테스토스테론 의존성 부속 생식기관들의 급격한 무게 감소가 초래됨이 이전의 연구들에게 보고되었다. 본 연구는 EDS투여가 흰쥐 부속 생식기관에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사한 것이다. 생체 수컷 흰쥐에 EDS를 1회 주사(75 mg/kg, i.p.)한 후 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7주 후에 각각 희생시겼다. 정소와 부정소, 저정낭 그리고 전립선의 무게를 각각 측정하였다. 조직의 변화는 hematoxylin & eosin 염색과 광학현미경을 통하여 분석하였다. 생식소와 그 부속기관의 무게는 EDS 처리 후 3주 까지는 점진적으로 감소하였고, 이후 서서히 정상으로 회복되었다. 부정소의 무게는 정상 수준의 60%까지 회복되는 양상을 보였다. 조직학적 결과에서 부정소의 상피세포층은 주사 후 1주에서 3주까지 비대해지는 것이 관찰되었다. 저정낭에서는 주사 후 1주부터 3주까지 상피세포층의 두께가 감소하였다. 전립선 역시 주사 후 1주에서 3주까지 상피세포층의 두께가 감소되고, 4주부터 회복되었다. 본 연구는 EDS 주사에 의해 일시적으로 안드로겐 결핍이 일어난 흰쥐에서 부속 생식기관에 뚜렷한 조직학적 변화가 일어남을 보였다. EDS 모델을 사용하여 이들 안드로겐 의존적인 부속 생식기관의 생리적, 분자적인 조절 기작에 대해 심층 연구할 경우 이들 조직의 정상 및 병리학적 발생과 분화를 이해하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

Hamartoma has been considered rare disease as a congenital malformation of a tumorous lesion since the original description by Albrecht in 1904. Pulmonary hamartoma is interesting to chest surgeon because of good result by surgical procedures and of slightly high incidence then another organs. It is characterized as lesion of very slow growing mass as peak incidence of age of 50 years age group and as sex ratio is 2:1. Especially endobronchial hamartoma is rarer than peripheral type. We had experienced a case of endobronchial hamartoma who has 53 years old male patient at right main bronchus and then treated by excision of tumor mass through right bronchotomy and preserving right lung except any lobectomy and pneumonectomy.

This study estimated the heavy metal concentrations in octopus (Octopus minor) and conducted a food safety assessment of octopus. Octopus, a benthic cephalopod, was collected from the Seosan intertidal zone on the west coast of Korea. The samples were digested with acids, and then the cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) contents were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The Cd, Cu, and Zn range of concentrations in octopus were 0.06-19 (mean 5.8), 44-1,463 (mean 354.8), and 76-929 (mean 247.9) mg/kg on a dry weight basis, respectively. The concentrations of heavy metals were higher in the internal organs than in the mantle. Of the three heavy metals, copper had the highest concentrations in the internal organs because of the existence of hemocyanin bound with copper in octopus blood, whereas zinc had the highest concentrations in the mantle. No relationship between the concentration of heavy metals and biological parameters (length, weight, and sex) was found. The ratios (I/M) of the heavy metal concentrations in internal organs and mantle were highest for cadmium, although cadmium had much lower concentrations in the internal organs compared with copper and zinc. Considering the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) of the three heavy metals and the average intake of octopus per day, all three elements should have no adverse effects on humans.

은행나무는 이식성이 좋고 열악한 환경에서도 잘 자라기 때문에 도심 가로수나 조경수로 매우 적합한 수종이다. 은행나무는 암수딴그루 식물로 수나무와 암나무의 생식기관(수꽃과 암꽃)의 비교를 통하여 성을 식별할 수 있으나, 꽃이 달리기까지 약 20년 이상이 필요하다. 가로수용 은행나무는 주로 꽃이 생성되기 이전에 식재되기 때문에 암나무와 수나무 구분 없이 가로수로 식재되어왔다. 가로수로 식재된 암나무에서 열리는 은행나무 열매는 악취를 발산하고 거리 오염을 야기하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유시에 수나무를 선별하기 위하여 기존에 보고된 수나무 특이 RAPD 변이체의 염기서열을 기반으로 수나무에서만 675 bp의 PCR 산물을 증폭하는 SCAR 마커(SCAR-GBM)를 개발하였다. SCAR-GBM 마커의 우성 마커 특성에 기인한 위음성(false-negative)문제를 해결하고 식별 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 SCAR-GBM 마커와 mtDNA의 atp1 영역을 증폭하는 범용 프라이머를 동시에 적용하는 multiplex PCR을 이용하였다. 그 결과 암나무와 수나무에서 공히 atp1 영역에 해당하는 1,039 bp의 PCR 산물이 증폭되었으며, 수나무에서만 특이적으로 SCAR-GBM 마커가 증폭되었다. 전국 8개 지역에서 채취된 암나무와 수나무 각 80개체에 대한 분석을 통하여 SCAR-GBM 마커와 multiplex PCR 방법의 재현성이 확인되었다.

Recently, there is a worldwide concern that a great number of man-made chemicals have a hormone-like action both in humans and in animals. DECD is developing screening programs using validated test systems to determine whether certain substances may have an effect in humans. In the present study. the establishment oj repeated-dose toxicity test method was tried. Flutamide. an anti-androgenic agent. was administered by gavage to Sprague-Dawley rats for 28 days at dose levels of 0. 0.5. 3 and 18 mg/kg body weight (10-15 rats/sex/group) to examine the effects on general findings. especially reproductive and endocrine parameters. Clinical signs. body weights, food consumption, and sexual cycle were checked and measured. For the gross and microscopic examinations. 10 rats/sex/group were sacrificed at the end of dosing period and the remaining animals of control and high dose groups (5 each) were sacrificed after 14 days recovery. Examinations for hematology and clinical chemistry were carried out at necropsy. There were no treatment-related changes in clinical signs. body weights, food consumption. gross necropsy. hematology and clinical chemistry at all doses of both sexes. The period and regularity of sexual cycle were not adversely affected at all doses by the test agent. At 18 mg/kg. both decreased weights of prostate, seminal vesicle and epididymis in males and increased weights of spleen and thymus in females were observed. In addition, decreased number of spermatids and sperms. increased serum testosterone concentration and increased incidence (100%) of interstitial cell hyperplasia were seen in males. At 18 mg/kg of the recovery group. decreased prostate weight. reduced sperm count and increased incidence (20%) of interstitial cell hyperplasia in males and increased thymus weight in females were observed. At 3 mg/kg. reduced sperm count was found. There were no adverse effects on parameters examined at 0.5 mg/kg of both sexes. The results suggested that the potential target organs of flutamide may be accessory sexual glands including testes for males and spleen and thymus for females. Taken together. this test method was found to be a useful screening test system for endocrine disrupting chemicals.

Introduction : The experiments was undertaken to evaluate the effects of herbal medicine, Sibjeondaebotang, Yugmijihwangtang, in pregnant rats and fetuses. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were orally administered with the Sibjeondaebotang, Yugmijihwangtang at dose of 5mg/kg/day for 20 days. Pregnant rats were sacrificed at 20th day of gestation, and observed internal and reproductive organs. Approximately live fetuses in the 20th day of gestation were randomly selected and fixed in 95% ethanol. To observe skeletal malformations, fetuses were stained with alcian blue and alizarin red S. Effect on pregnant rats : Maternal body weight of Sibjeondaebotang, Yugmijihwangtang treated group has a tendency to increase compared to that of control group. There were no significant difference in internal and reproductive organs. There were no significant changes between two groups in blood chemistry and hematological values. There were no significant changes in number of corpus luteum, implantation, live fetuses and implantation rate, delivery rate, and sex ratio. But Yugmijihwangtang administered group showed higher early resorption rate than the control group(p<0.05). Also Sibjeondaebotang administered group showed higher late resorption rate than the control group(p<0.05). From the sex ratio, number of females, bigger than number of males in the control group, and more males than females in Yugmijihwangtang administered group(p<0.05).

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) of White Leghorn chicken embryos as a donor were transferred to Rhode Island Red chicken embryos as a recipient. At 48-50 h (stage 13-15) of incubation of fertilized eggs, donor PGCs, which were taken out from blood vessels of donor embryos, were injected into blood vessels of recipient embryos. Sex of the treated embryos was determined after the transfer of PGCs using remaining blood samples. In the present experiments, survival rate of the treated embryos was 33.3% for homo-sexual and 35.4% for hetero-sexual transfers of PGCs, respectively, when determined at 17 days of incubation. In this study, most of the treated embryos could not survive more than 18 days of incubation, though the reason for that was not clarified in the present work. The gonalds removed from embryos that died after 18 days of incubation and the organs from newly hatched chicks were examined for morphological and histological features. The gonads removed from the embryos with homo-sexual transfer of PGCs showed normal development in appearance. On the contrary, some (35.3%) of the embryos with hetero-sexual transfer of PGCs possessed abnormal gonads similar to ovotestis by histological observation. In cases where the gonads developed to be normal organs (64.7%) the sex of embryos was the same as recipient ones. The present results suggest that hetero-sexual transfer of the PGCs may bring about the possibility of development of the embryos bearing sexually different gametes, spermatogonia or oogonia.

Adenocarcinomas (AC) are the most frequently encountered carcinomas. It may be quite challenging to detect the primary origin when those carcinomas metastasize and the first finding is a metastatic tumor. This study evaluated the role of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) positivity in tumor cells in the subclassification and detection of the original organ of adenocarcinomas. Between 1994 and 2008, 64 sections of normal tissue belonging to ten organs, and 116 cases diagnosed as adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the salivary gland, lung adenocarcinoma, invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, adenocarcinoma of stomach, colon, gallbladder, pancreas and prostate, endometrial adenocarcinoma and serous adenocarcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary, were sent to the laboratory at the Department of Pathology at the Yuzuncu Yil University School of Medicine, where they were stained immunohistochemically, using antibodies against SHBG. The SHBG immunoreactivity in both the tumor cells and normal cells, together with the type, diffuseness and intensity of the staining were then evaluated. In the differential diagnosis of the adenocarcinomas of the organs, including the glandular structures, impressively valuable results are encountered in the tumor cells, whether the SHBG immunopositivity is evaluated alone or together with other IHC markers. Further extensive research with a larger number of cases, including instances of cholangiocarcinoma and cervix uteri AC [which we could not include in the study for technical reasons] should be performed, in order to appropriately evaluate the role of SHBG in the differential diagnosis of AC.

성폭력에 대한 많은 선행연구에서 보여주듯 낯선사람으로부터 당하는 일반강간 보다는 대부분의 강간이 오히려 지인(知人)인 경우가 더 많다. 특히 지인강간 중에서도 데이트상대에 의해서 일어난다는 사실을 생각할 때 가장 보편화된 성폭력인 데이트 강간에 대한 체계적이고 학문적인 연구의 필요성을 느끼지 않을 수 없다. 최근에 국내에서 실시된 데이트 강간에 대한 연구에서도 문제의 심각성을 여실히 드러내고 있다. 조사에서 보면 20.5%의 여성들이 데이트 강간 피해경험을 보고하였다. 그러나 일반적인 강간 피해자들보다 데이트 강간 피해자들이 관련기관에 피해사실을 신고하는 경우는 훨씬 드물다. 그 이유는 데이트강간의 경우 피해자 혹은 가해자 자신들도 피해나 가해사실을 조금은 과격한 성관계나 성접촉을 가진 것으로 생각할 뿐 성폭력으로 인식하지 않기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구는 Michael Shively, Perceived Risks of Date Rape, Judith M.Sgarzi, Victimology 을 바탕으로 데이트강간의 선행연구결과들을 소개코자 한다.
