머리 부분에 많은 양의 방사선을 조사 받은 흰쥐 뇌실막세포의 미세구조에 대하여 연구하였다. 체중 $200\sim250g$의 흰쥐를 실험동물로 사용하였고, 방사선 발생장치로는 Mitsubishi linear accelerator (ML-4MV)를 이용하였다. 실험군의 흰쥐는 sodium thiopental로 마취시킨 후 머리부분이 조사구역 $(30cm\times30cm)$ 안에 들도록 눕힌 후, 조사거리 80cm, 조사 깊이 1.2 cm의 조건에서 200 rad/min의 속도로 연속 조사하였다. 실험군에 따라 3,000 rad 또는 6,000 rad를 조사시킨 후 각각 6시간, 2일, 6일 후에 동물들을 희생시켰다. 희생시에는 마취된 흰쥐의 가슴을 열고 심장을 통한 관류고정을 시행하였고, 관류고정액은 1% glutaraldehyde-1% paraformaldehyde액을 사용했다. 고정된 뇌에서 가쪽뇌실벽 일부를 메어 관류고정액과 같은 고정액에 다시 고정한 후, 2% osmium tetroxide 액으로 이차고정 하였고, 이후 통상적인 방법으로 전자현미경 절편제작 및 염색과정을 거친 후 전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 방사선조사후 6시간군부터 뇌실막세포는 종창현상을 보였고 섬모의 배열이 흐트러졌으며 부분적으로 세포질이 뇌실공간으로 돌출하였다. 2. 방사선조사후 2일군부터는 뇌실막세포의 종창현상이 심하며 뇌실막밑조직의 부종이 심했다. 3. 뇌실막세포의 돌출부분 세포질에는 섬모바닥체, 사립체, 세포질세망들이 들어 있었다. 4. 방사선조사군에서는 확장된 뇌실막세포사이공간을 통하여 뇌실막밑층의 축삭성분 등이 뇌실속 까지도 돌출하였다. 이와 같은 결과로 보아 방사선조사에 의해 뇌실막세포에는 심각한 형태학적 변화가 초래되며, 이로써 뇌실질과 뇌척수액사이의 대사관문이 교란될 것으로 생각된다.

The development of the superior cervical ganglion was studied by electron microscopic method in human fetuses ranging from 40 mm to 260 mm of crown-rump length (10 to 30 weeks of gestational age). At 40 mm fetus, the superior cervical ganglion was composed of clusters of undifferentiated cell, primitive neuroblast, primitive supporting cell, and unmyelinated fibers. At 70mm fetus, the neuroblasts and their processes were ensheated by the bodies or processes of satellite cells. The cytoplasm of the neuroblast contained rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi complex, Nissl bodies and dense-cored vesicles. As the neuroblasts grew and differentiated dense-cored vesicles moved away from perikaryal cytoplasm into developing processes. Synaptic contacts between the cholinergic axon and dendrites of postganglionic neuron and a few axosomatic synapses were first observed at 70 mm fetus. At 90 mm fetus the superior cervical ganglion consisted of neuroblasts, satellite cells, granule-containing cells, and unmyelinated nerve fibers. The ganglion cells increased somewhat in numbers and size by 150 mm fetus. Further differentiation resulted in the formation of young ganglion cells, whose cytoplasm was densely filled with cell organelles. During next prenatal stage up to 260 mm fetus, the cytoplasm of the ganglion cells contained except for large pigment granules, all intracytoplasmic structures which were also found in mature superior cervical ganglion. A great number of synaptic contact zones between the cholinergic preganglionic axon and the dendrites of the postganglionic neuron were observed and a few axosomatic synapses were also observed. Two morphological types of the granule-containing cells in the superior cervical ganglion were first identified at 90 mm fetus. Type I granule-containing cell occurred in solitary, whereas type II tended to appeared in clusters near the blood capillaries. Synaptic contacts were first found on the solitary granule-containing cell at 150 mm fetus. Synaptic contacts between the soma of type I granule-containing cells and preganglionic axon termials were observed. In addition, synaptic junctions between the processes of the granule- containing cells and dendrites of postganglionic neuron were also observed from 150 mm fetus onward. In conclusion, superior cervical ganglion cells and granule-containing cells arise from a common undifferentiated cell precursor of neural crest . The granule-containg cells exhibit a local modulatory feedback system in the superior cervical ganglion and nay serve as interneurons between the preganglionic and postganglionic cells.

참붕어의 난자형성과정과 수정란 난막의 미세구조를 광학현미경과 전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 참붕어에서 난원세포의 세포질은 호염기성이었고 핵막 내에 많은 인들이 분포하고 있었다. 제1난모세포의 경우 난황포가 단지 난세포 가장자리에만 배열되어 있었고 난막의 형성은 관찰되지 않았다. 제2난모세포에서는 난막이 형성되었고 제1난모세포에 비해서 난황포가 점점 핵쪽으로 증식된 경향을 보였다. 발생이 진행됨에 따라서 호염기성 물질들은 점점 감소하는 경향을 보였고 후에 난막주위에만 국한적으로 분포하였으며, 난막의 두께와 난자의 크기는 점점 증가되었다. 또한 성숙란으로 발생이 진행되면서 난황포들은 난황괴로 변화되었다. 참붕어의 수정란은 타원형으로 부착성이었으며 동물극쪽에서 난문이 관찰되었다. 수정란의 난막은 모두 3층으로, 부착성인 외층, 전자밀도가 서로 다른 6층상구조를 가진 중층 및 전자밀도가 높은 내층으로 구성되어 있었으며 난막표면은 부착성 섬유상 구조물로 덮여 있었다. 이상과 같이 참붕어의 난자형성과정은 생식세포의 크기 증가, 난황의 형성과 축적 및 세포질의 호염기성물질 감소로 될 수 있으며 수정란 난막의 미세구조적 특징들은 경골어류의 계통분류학에서 분류형질도 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

담수산 잉어과(Cyprinidae), 황어아과(Leuciscinae)에 속하는 버들치(Chinese minnow; Rhynchocypris oxycephalus)의 난자형성과정과 성숙난 난막의 미세구조를 광학현미경과 전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 난원세포의 세포질은 호염기성이었고 핵 내에 다수의 인들이 분포하고 있었다. 제1난모세포의 경우 난황포가 단지 난세포 가장자리에만 배열되어 있었고 난막의 형성은 관찰되지 않았다. 제2난모세포에서는 난막이 형성되었고 제1난모세포에 비해서 난황포가 점점 핵 쪽으로 증식된 경향을 보였다. 발생이 진행됨에 따라서 호염기성 물질들은 점점 감소하는 경향을 보였고 후에 난막 주위에만 국한적으로 분포하였으며, 난막의 두께와 난자의 크기는 점점 증가되었다. 배란된 성숙난 난막의 표면은 미세융모와 같은 구조물들에 의하여 덮혀 있었고 동물극 쪽에 깔떼기 형태의 난문이 발견되었다. 난막의 단면을 확인한 결과 부착성 외층과 섬유상 내층 모두 2층으로 구성되어 있었다. 이상과 같이 버들치의 난자형성과정은 난세포의 크기 증가, 난황낭의 축적, 염기성 물질의 감소, 난막발달 및 두께의 증가로 요약될 수 있으며 이 패턴은 잉어과의 공통적인 특징으로 생각된다. 그러나 배란된 성숙난 난막의 미세구조적 특징들은 이 종만이 가지는 종특이성으로 종을 분류하는 데 이용될 수 있다.

Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are a leading cause of gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide. However, the paucity of appropriate cell culture models for HuNoV replication has prevented developing effective anti-HuNoV therapies. In this study, first, the replication of the virus at various temperatures in different cells was compared, which showed that lowering the culture temperature from 37℃ significantly increased virus replication in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Second, the expression levels of autophagy-, immune-, and apoptosis-related genes at 30℃ and 37℃ were compared to explore factors affecting HuNoV replication. HuNoV cultured at 37℃ showed significantly increased autophagy-related genes (ATG5 and ATG7) and immune-related genes (IFNA, IFNB, ISG15, and NFKB) compared to mock. However, the virus cultured at 30℃ showed significantly decreased expression of autophagy-related genes (ATG5 and ATG7), but not significantly different major immune-related genes (IFNA, ISG15, and NFKB) compared to mock. Importantly, expression of the transcription factor FOXO1, which controls autophagy- and immune-related gene expression, was significantly lower at 30℃. Moreover, FOXO1 inhibition in temperature-optimized MDCK cells enhanced HuNoV replication, highlighting FOXO1 inhibition as an approach for successful virus replication. In the temperature-optimized cells, various HuNoV genotypes were successfully replicated, with GI.8 showing the highest replication levels followed by GII.1, GII.3, and GII.4. Furthermore, ultrastructural analysis of the infected cells revealed functional HuNoV replication at low temperature, with increased cellular apoptosis and decreased autophagic vacuoles. In conclusion, temperature-optimized MDCK cells can be used as a convenient culture model for HuNoV replication by inhibiting FOXO1 and providing adaptability to different genotypes.

For better understanding the interrelationship of hemorrhage and aggregation mechanism, cyclopiazonic acid(CPA) known as promoting the aggregation of platelet, aflatoxin $B_1(AFB_1)$ inhibiting platelet aggregation were used as toxic mycotoxins in these studies. In order to investigate the potential role of prostaglandin metabolism on the platelet aggregation, a variety of prostaglandin metabolites such as $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$, $PGE_2$ and $TXB_2$ were measured in homogenized rabbit platelets by TLC and LSC. And the role of $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ on the platelet aggregation was investigated by flow cytometer. Finally, the morphological effects of mycotoxins on platelet were determined by transmission electron microscope. The results and conclusions obtained from these studies are: 1) CPA induced no changes but $AFB_1$ increased $PGE_2$ and $TXB_2$. 2) CPA promoted ADP, collagen, thrombin, A.A., and PAF-induced $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release. $AFB_1$, however, decreased $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ level except collagen-induced $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release. When the calcium blocker, verapamil, was used, CPA decreased thrombin-induced $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release and increased collagen, ADP, PAF and A.A.-induced $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release. $AFB_1$ in contrast decreased the all factors induced $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release. 3) $AFB_1$ did not induce any ultrastructural changes except large vacuole formation in a few platelets. And CPA also did not induce any changes except moderate shape change, indicator of platelet activation. In conclusion, CPA promoted platelet aggregation by the increases of $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release but had no changes in A.A. metabolites. Antiaggregating effects of $AFB_1$ may be due to decreases of $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release and increases of $PGE_2$ and $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ formation. These data provide the basis for the future study of mobilization and function of $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ in platelet aggregation.

Objectives : The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of Geupoongjibo-dan Extracts on Reversible Forebrain Ischemia in Mongolian Gerbils. Methods : The change rate of water content in cerebral tissues, the numercal change of the CA1 pyramidal neuron in the hippocampus, the change of delayed neuronal death(necrosis apoptosis) through light microscopy, the reactivity change of glycoprotein in neuronal membrane and the ultrastructural change of pyramidal neuron through electron microscopy caused by dalayed neuronal death were investigated. Results : 1. The change rate of water content in the normal group showed 78.90% on the third day, and 79.12% on the seventh day after an attack of ischemia. The rate in the control group showed 82.25% and 85.13%, respectively. The rate in the sample group showed a significant decrease: 81.72% and 83.66%. 2. Light microscopy revealed that the cells, continuous and systematic forms in the pyramidal cells of hippocampus, changed into discontinuous and unsystematic forms in the normal group when compared with the control group. The cells were less damaged in the sample group. 3. The mean of the numerical change of the CA1 pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus was 104 in the normal group. The mean of the control group was decreased to 27. The mean of the sample group was 44. 4. TUNEL staining examination reveals that the whole part of the hippocampus of the normal group had negative reactivity. As far as CA1 pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus, the control group had positive reactivity. The sample group was more positive than the control group. 5. Electron microscopy reveals that the ischemic injury of the control group had both necrotic and apoptotic morphology. The sample group was less necrotic, and more apoptotic morphology than the control group. 6. Lectin histochemisrical examination reveals that the normal group had positive reactivity to PNA and SBA in interneuron, and weak positive reactivity to WGA Con A LCA in intercelluar space. The reactivity to PNA and WGA decreased in the control group. The reactivity to PNA and WGA tended to increase in the sample group. Conclusions : The data shows that the effect of Geupoongjibo-dan Extracts on Reversible Forebrain Ischemia in MG is a significant result.

The present study was undertaken to demonstrate the surface structure of Paragonimus westermani metacercaria in Korea with special reference to the distribution of sensory papillae. Metacercariae were isolated from crayfish, one of the second intermediate tost of P. westermani in Bogil island, Chollanam-do (Province), Korea, where has been known as an endemic area of human paragonimiasis. Isolated metacercariae were encysted and examined with light. scanning and transmission electron microscopes for morphological features. On the surface of iBetacercariae, three types of sensory FaFillae were identified. Large domed papillae ($3~5{\mu\textrm{m}}$), which were covered with wrinkled plasma n!embrane of the worm, were distributed on the oral and ventral suckers only. On the oral sucker, these large domed papillae were 12~13 in number. On the other hand large domed papillae on the ventral sucker were constantly 6 in number and hexagonal in distribution. Small domed papillae ($2~3{\mu\textrm{m}}$), of which surface was more smooth than those of large ones, were distributed symmetrically on the ventral (30~32 pairs) and dorsal surfaces (40~42 Pairs). Ciliated Papillae ($0.8~1.5{\mu\textrm{m}}$) were observed about 5~6 in number around the oral sucker and 3~5 pairs each on the ventral and dorsal surface of the body. Single Fcinted spines covered the entire surface of the body except around the excretory pore. Spines on the anterior fart of the body were 0.9~2.0${\mu\textrm{m}}$ in length and $45~55/100{\mu\textrm{m}}$2 in number, and were gradually reduced in length ($0.4~1.4{\mu\textrm{m}}$) and in nuns.her ($12~27/100{\mu\textrm{m}}$2) toward the posterior part. The body wall of p. westermoni metacercariae was consisted with anucleated syncytium layer, fibrous interstitial layer and musclar layer. In the anucleated syncytium, biconcave ($0.15~0.55{\mu\textrm{m}}$) and spherical ($0.08~0.16{\mu\textrm{m}}$) secretory granules, which were transferred from epidermal cells via protoplasmic tubules, mitochondria and rihoEorses, T-ere observed. Spines originated around the basement membrane protruded externally. Epidermal cells were consisted with a nucleus and a cytoplasm, and connected to syncytium with protoplasmic tubules. In the cytoplasm many secretory granules, mitochondria, Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticula, ribosomes and lipid droplets were observed.
