This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of culture methods on development of embryos with each developmental stage after heat shock in bovine oocytes. The results obtained were as fellows. 1. The culture method after heat shock on development of embryos was better drop-culture than co-culture. 2. The medium without amino acids were not effect of heat sock on development of embryos but it was in need of amino acid during formation of blastocyst.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of biological factors on the in vitro production(IVP) of bovine oocytes for development of simple culture methods and medium. Oocytes from the slaughterhouse ovaries were matured and fertilized using general protocol and this study was examined if there were necessary to co-culture, media change, media type and embryo density. This results were as follows: 1. The development rate according to co-culture with cumulus cells and non co-culture as drop culture was not significantly different in cleavage (68.9 vs 71.7%), 8-cell stage (41.2 vs 44.1%) and blastocyst stage (12.2 vs 13.8%), respectively (p<0.05) 2. The blastocyst development rates in YS and CRIaa were higher than that in TCM199 (12.4, 10.4 vs 3.7%), but the cleavage (69.0, 77.8 and 61.0%) and 8-cell stage (31.7, 37.0 and 35.7%) development accoring to YS, TCM199 and CRIaa ws not significantly different, respectively (p<0.05). 3. There was no significantly different in cleavage (62.6, 59.5 and 61.2%), 8-cell(34.7, 37.9 and 34.0%) and blastocyst (9.5, 11.6 and 12.8%) development among medium change time as control, Group I and Group II, respectively (p<0.05). 4. Blastocyst formation of 8-cell stage according to embryo density was not significantly different in 1, 10 and 25 embryos (27.3, 22.5 and 34.0%), respectively (p<0.05). These results indicated that simple culture system could reduce bovine IVP embryos as drop culture as non co-culture system, high density embryo (25 embryos/50 1 drop). YS defined medium and no medium change for whole culture period, although other biological factors need to examine in order to produce efficient IVP bovine embryos.

This study was conducted to enhance the efficiency of embryo transfer and embryos produced in vitro according to select good quality blastocyst among in vivo or in vitro produced embryos. After middle blastocys(MB) and late blastocyst(LB) stages embryos that developed in vitro for 7∼8 days were treated hypertonic solution(380 mOsm or 600 mOsm) and the rate of development to hatched blastocyst(HB) was examined. The results obtained were summarized as follows: The proportion of embryos developed to HB was higher than that of control regardless of hypertonic solution treatment. However, it was related to culture time in hypertonic solution The propotrion of embryos developed to HB of morphologically recovered embryos in 380 nOsm solution ws higher than that of morphologically shrinked embryos. However, treatment time was not significantly different the rates of HB development. Especially, the proportion of embryos developed to HB of morphologically recovered embryos of the 30-min-treated group was significantly higher than that of control (p<0.05). The results suggest that hypertonic solution treatment should enhance the efficiency for criterion of transferable blastocyst quality.

To investigate the effects of bacterial endotoxin on lipids and cytokines, and to explain the relationships between their changes, we carried out this study using experimentally Escherichia coli (E. coli) endotoxin-induced septicemic rabbits. The triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations in endotoxin groups were generally high (p$lt;0.01 or 0.05) at all sampling time points (from 3hr to 24 hr), while phospholipid concentrations in endotoxin groups elevated in dose-dependent fashion at 3hr and 6hr after endotoxin injection compared to control group (p$lt;0.05). There were significant negative correlations between lipids changes and cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) each other (p$lt;0.05), and endotoxic rabbits having higher triglyceride of cholesterol levels shown relatively better conditions compared with others. As a result, the alterations in the lipid compositions caused by endotoxin may imply an active exhibition of the host defense mechanism rather than the disturbances of lipid metabolism.

순환식 펄라이트 고형배지경에서 토마토의 영양과 환경특성을 고려한 생육단계별 최적 배양액을 개발하고자 일본 야채시험장표준액(야시액)을 2 수준(l/2, 1.0 배액)으로 하여 실험을 하였다. 전반적으로 일본 야시액 1배액에서 생육이 좋았으며 식물체내 무기이온함량도 적정치로 나타났다. 따라서 1배액의 양수분 흡수율에 의해 토마토 순환식 고형배지경용 배양액을 조성 하였고 그것을 SCUT 배양액으로하였다. 생육단계별로 육묘기. 영양생장기 및 결실기로 나누어 양수분 흡수율(n/w)을 계산한 결과, 육묘기에 N 13.5, P 3.3, K 7.0, Ca 7.0 및 Mg 3.5 me.L-1이었고, 영양생장기에는 N 14.2, P 3.3, K8.0, Ca 7.5 및 Mg 4.0 me.L-1, 결실 비대기에는 N 10.0, P 3.0, K 7.0, Ca 6.0, Mg 3.0 me.L-1로 조성하는 것이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 생육단계별로 조성된 시립대 순환식 토마토 배양액(SCUT)을 네덜란드의 순환식 배양액 (PBG)과 함께 비교실험을 수행한 결과 근권내 pH 와 EC변화는 저농도구인 1/2배액에서 변화가 크게 나타나지 않았다. 근권내 무기이온함략 변화는 시립대액에서는 생육단계별로 조성배양액을 바꾸어 공급하면서 실험한 결과 1/2배액에서 근권내 N, p 함량이 적정수준이하로 나타났고 2배액에서는 근권내 N, K, Ca, Mg 함량이 집적되어 고농도로 되는 경향을 보였다. 반면에 1배액에서는 전반적으로 근권내 무기양분이 적정수준을 유지하고 있었으며 특히 시립대 배양액에서 토마토의 생육, 수량 및 품질이 높게 나타났다.

원자력발전소 해체과정에서 발생하는 폐기물 중 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 것은 콘크리트 재료이다. 일반적적으로 콘크리트의 방사화는 시멘트 페이스트에 집중되기 때문에 방사화된 시멘트 페이스트만 고화처리를 하고 굵은 골재를 재활용할 수 있다면 원자력발전소 해체 과정에서 발생하는 폐기물의 양을 현저하게 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 저준위 방사화 콘크리트의 처리방안 개발을 위한 기초연구를 목적으로 수행되었으며, 이를 위하여 20년 이상 경과한 폐콘크리트에서 분리한 미분말을 고화처리하는 방법에 대하여 검토하고자 하였다.
