중수로 원전내 여러 계통으로 부터 발생된 폐수지내에는 핵종이 다량 함유되어 있으며, Class A 및 C 폐기물로 분류되는 폐수지의 적정 처리 기술 개발을 위한 기초연구를 수행하였다. IRN-150 혼상 이온교환수지를 이용하여 비방사성 이온과 양이온의 흡착 특성 및 탈차용액을 이용한 이온의 제거 특성을 고찰하였다. IRN-150 수지의 이온의 흡착능은 이론값에 근접한 11 mg-C/g-IRN-150을 나타내었고, 양이온의 흡착 친화도를 단일성분 및 복합성분 시스템을 이용하여 분석하였다. 여러 가지 탈착용액을 이용한 폐수지로부터 이온의 제거 특성을 평가한 결과, 핵종을 전량 효과적으로 제거하기 위해서는 보다도 용액이 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

The possibility of producing transgenic embryos expressing the green fluorescence protein (GFP) gene have been evaluated after transfer of exogenous gene into the porcine zygote cytoplasm using the intracytoplasm sperm injection (ICSI) as gene delivery method. For DNA binding to sperm heads, 0.05% Triton X-100 or Lipofectin was used. After injection of the sperm bound to DNA by means of Lipofectin or Triton X-100 triturate, the blastocyst formation rates on day 6 were not significantly different from that of ICSI only group (18.8, 19.2 and 25.3%). In terms of GFP expression, more embryos were in GFP form in Triton X-100 group than in Lipofectin group (40.6 vs 36.4%), while percentage of non-mosaic embryos expressing the GFP gene in all blastomere was higher (P<0.05) in Lipofectin group than in Triton X-100 group (4.2 vs 0.9%). ICSI embryos derived from sperm treated with Lipofectin/DNA complex was transferred into 3 recipients and were collected by uterine flushing on days 5, 7 and 15 after embryo transfer, and then GFP expression was observed by a fluorescence microscopy. Over 26% of the collected embryos were normally expressed GFP gene. These results suggest that foreign gene transfer method with DNA bound sperm caused minimal damage to structure of oocytes that can result to full development of porcine embryos. This was confirmed in this study when the embryos that were transferred after ISCI of DNA bound sperm had a normal development and gene expression until preimplantation.

This study was conducted to compare the reproduction ability of the wild type boar and recombinant human erythropoietin (hEPO) transgenic boar semen. Ejaculated boar semen was analyzed by flow cytometry, Elisa and IVF methods. In experiment 1, flow cytometric analysis showed that the live sperm ratio of transgenic boar sperm significantly lower (P<0.05) than that of wild type boar after incubation at 20, 22, 24 and 26 hr. In experiment 2, the presence and levels of various cytokines (IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α) to related animal reproduction in the seminal and blood plasma were examined using specific enzyme immunoassay. There was no significant difference between both groups. In experiment 3, the fertilizing capacity and developmental ability of both boar sperm were compared. The transgenic boar sperm had a significantly low capacity of penetration, sperm-zona binding, embryo development, and blastocyst formation compared to wild type sperm (P<0.05). These results suggest that transgenic boar sperm harboring hEPO gene has low sperm viability than wild type boar, and it is a reason to decrease of fertility and litter size.

gp130-Mediated signaling is involved in both chondrogenesis and osteogenesis. but its direct role in the mecha nism of embryonic Meckel’s cartilage and associated mandibular development has not yet been elucidated . In this s tudy. we examined the influence of gp130 ablation on the morphogenesis of Meckel’s cartilage and subsequent d evelopment of mandible by evaluating the morphological and histological changes as well as the gene expression patterns in developing embryonic gp130 deficient Ullce The abla tion of the gp130 gene showecl 110 change in region- specific collagen mRNA expression except for a s light delay in its expression but caused shortened embry 。nic Mecke]'s cartilage, delayed hypertrophic chondrocyte maturation and subseqllent bony replacement with characteristic bending of the intramandibular Meckel's cartilage.
