This study was carried out the normal serial ultrasonographic appearance of the postpartum uterine involution with small pet bitches. Postpartum changes in uterine shape, architecture, echogenicity and diameter were monitored with ultrasonography in small pet bitches (Miniature Schnauzer, Cocker Spaniel and Shih-tzu). In the Miniature Schnauzer bitches, uterine diameter of the placental sites and interplacental sites were decreased from at 1 day to at 7 day, and at 1 day to at 7 day postpartum. In the Cocker Spaniel, the placental sites and interplacental sites were decreased from at 1 day to at 7 day, and at 1 day to at 7 day postpartum. In the Shih-tzu, the placental sites and interplacental sites were decreased from at 1 day to at 7 day, and at 1 day to at 7 day postpartum. And uterine diameter was no statistically significant difference among bitches (p>0.05). At 67 days, the uterine diameter in Miniature Schnauzer bitches were 6~7 mm both placental and interplacental sites, and the uterine horns showed uniform hypoechoic, tubular structures without enlargement. In present study, the involution of the uterus was completed at 67 days after parturition in Miniature Schnauzer, and 65 days in Cocker Spaniel and the Shih-tzu. There were no significant differences of normal postpartum uterine involution between small pet bitches (p>0.05). In conclusion, the postpartum involution of small pet bitches appeared to be completed normally at 65~67 days after parturition and could be identified by gross findings such as vaginal discharges and ultrasonographic findings of uterine shape and echogenicity.

Ultrasonographic examination was performed to observe the ultrasonographic image of Korean native cows' normal uterus in condition of in vitro and in vivo. The experiment was done 28 slaughtered cows' uterus using immersed in water in vitro, and 41 healthy breeding cows taken rectal ultrasonography in vivo. Ultrasonographic examination of uterine was taken on the reference of cross section of intercornual ligaments' cranial. Each uterus on the experiments was compared by estrous cycle and ultrasonographic frequency. The uterine structure using ultrasonography was 5 layers of uterine horn in vivo as well as in vitro. Uterine horn was observed to be distinguished from inside to outside as endometrium to inner echogenic layer, circular muscle layer to slightly echogenic elliptical layer, stratum vasculare to central echogenic layer, longitudinal muscle layer to slightly echogenic arched layer, and perimetrium to outer echogenic layer, respectively. According to the observation of uterus related to estrous cycle and ultrasonographic examination, uterine endometrium in vitro was constantly founded irrespective of estrous cycle and ultrasonographic frequency. On the low frequency, endometrium and circular muscle layer in estrus were prone to distinguished than in diestrus. On the high frequency, endometrium and circular muscle layer were always distinguished regardless of estrous cycle. In vivo, uterine endometrium and circular muscle layer were observed regardless of estrus and ultrasonographic frequency. On the low frequency, stratum vasculare and longitudinal muscle layer were not likely to be distinguished in diestrus, but estrus. On the high frequency, stratum vasculare and longitudinal muscle layer were observed regardless of estrous cycle. Also, every uterine structure was easily distinguished on high frequency than low frequency owing to precision of distinction in layers. The difference of results followed by the experiments conditions between in vitro and in vivo was that uterine endometrium and circular muscle layer in diestrus in vitro were difficult to be distinguished and uterine lumen was observed during whole estrous cycle. In vivo, It was founded that the distinction of stratum vasculare and logitudinal muscle layer in diestrus was complicated and uterine lumen was observed during only estrus. In view of the result so far achieved, normal uterine structure divided in 5 layers on ultrasonography was accorded with microscopic organization, uterine structure was likely to be observed during estrus than diestrus, high frequency checkup than low frequency, and uterine endometrium, circular muscle, stratum vasculare was easily observed regardless of estrous cycle and ultrasonographic frequency.

Serial ultrasonography was conducted on Miniature Schnauzer bitches, on purpose to observe the ultrasonographic appearance of normal ovaries and ovarian structures during the estrous cycle. The size of ovaries was increased from on Day-12 (Day-0=ovulation day) to on Day-8 and there was no significantly different between both ovaries. The ovaries were recognized by its proximity to the caudal renal pole and appeared moderately echogenic oval shape with a smooth contour. The size of follicles was increased from on Day-12 to on Day-0 and there was no significantly different between both ovaries. The number of follicles was increased from on Day-12 to on Day-0 and there was no significantly different between both ovaries. The follicles were small anechoic fluid-filled structures in early of proestrus, more increased, and indistinguished from each follicles in late of proestrus. The size of corpora lutea was increased from on Day-0 to on Day-8 and there was no significantly different between both ovaries. The number of corpora lutea was increased from on Day-0 to on Day-38 and there was no significantly different between both ovaries. The corpora lutea were small anechoic cavity and thin hyperechoic wall in early of diestrus, became more hyperechoic, and increased homogenous structures. The results of this study would be useful for differential diagnosis between normal and abnormal structures of ovaries.

돼지 생식기 호흡기 증후군 바이러스(PRRSV)는 당단백질(GP)2, 3, 4, 5, 및 막단백질(M), 그리고 뉴클레오캡시드(N) 등 6개의 구조단백질을 내포하고 있 으며 이들은 각각 ORF2-7 으로부터 암호화된다. 본 연구에서는, 누에 핵다각 체병 바이러스(BmNPV)의 다각체 단백질 프로모터와 6개의 히스티딘 단편이 부착된 새로운 전이벡터인 pBmKSK4를 제작하여 각각의 구조단백질을 발현 시켰다. 목적유전자와 재조합된 전이벡터는 Bm5 세포에 bBpGOZA와 cotransfection 시킨 후, 순수 재조합 바이러스를 정제하여 사용하였다. 발현된 각각의 단백 질은 SDS-PAGE 분석 및 항-히스티딘 항체와 PRRSV 항체를 사용한 Western blot 분석으로 확인하였다. 그 결과, N 단백질만이 SDS-PAGE 상에서 발현이 가능하였고 나머지 구조 단백질은 항체수준에서만 발현을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 GP5는 다른 단백질에 비해 발현이 매우 저조하게 나타났는데, 그 이 유는 GP5 단백질의 Bm5 세포에 대한 독성으로 추정되었다. 각 단백질 발현 율의 향상을 위해 SUMO 유전자를 도입한 결과, 항원단백질의 발현율이 기존 보다 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같이, 베큘로바이러스를 이용한 각 구조단 백질의 높은 발현은 돼지 생식기 호흡기 증후군 바이러스의 효과적인 백신 개발 가능성을 시사해준다.

돼지 콜레라 바이러스(CSFV)는 Flaviviridae과, Pestivirus속으로 세가지 구조 유전자인 gE0, gE1 및 gE2 그리고 비구조 유전자로 이루어져 있다. 본 연구에 서는 세가지 구조유전자 중 표면항원으로써 기능이 가장 좋아 백신으로써 많 은 개발이 이루어지고 있는 gE2의 구조분석 및 베큘로바이러스를 이용하여 그 발현을 확인하였다. CSFV로부터 gE2를 클로닝 하고 염기서열 및 아미노산 서열을 분석한 결과, 기존에 보고된 돼지콜레라 바이러스의 다른 계통과 약 96%이상의 비교적 높은 상동성을 나타내었다. AcNPV 전이벡터를 이용하여 gE2를 가진 재조합 바이러스를 제작하고 SDS-PAGE 및 Western blot 분석으로 그 발현을 확인한 결과, 목적단백질은 Western blot 분석에서만 접종후 3일째 부터 발현이 확인되어 5일째 최대 발현하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 발현 수준을 향상시키기 위하여 목적단백질의 발현 환경 조건인 세포주와 세 포배지를 교체하였을 때 어떠한 양상을 나타내는지 조사하였다. 그 결과 High-Five 세포에서 가장 높은 발현 수준을 나타내었고 배지에서는 혈청 배지 인 TC-100 곤충배지와, Grace's Insect Media에서 가장 높은 발현 수준을 나타 내었다. 이와 같이, 베큘로바이러스를 이용한 각 구조단백질의 발현은 돼지 콜레라 바이러스의 효과적인 백신 개발 가능성을 시사해준다.

The brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) has been used to select the developmental competent oocytes in pigs, goats and cows. Growing oocytes have a higher level of active glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PDH) compare to mature oocytes and are rarely stained compared to mature oocytes, because G6PDH converts BCB to colorless. First polar body extrusion regard as a guideline of meoisis completion. Selection of polar body extrude oocyte is more developmental competent to blastocyst than unselected. This study was conducted to compare the BCB test to the polar body extrusion on selection of developmental competent porcine oocytes for the production of blastocyst. Cumulus-Oocytes complex were exposed to 26uM BCB stain diluted in NCSU-23 for 90 min. There was no significant difference embryo development to blastocysts between BCB treated and not treated(19.58±1.99 vs 18.75±2.27 %), which means there was no detrimental effect of BCB exposure to oocytes. Normal fertilization is not differed among treatment groups from 70.0 to 78.4% development to blastocyst, beside polyspermy did not. To compare two different selection methods, BCB test and polar body extrusion, evaluate the developmental competent of IVP embryos. BCB+PB+(blue stained and polar body extruded, 20.71±0.45%) and BCB－PB+(colorless and polar body extruded, 20.04±1.29%) groups are significantly (p<0.05) higher developed than those of BCB+PB－(blue stained and no polar body, 13.24±0.73%) and BCB－PB－(colorless and no poladbody, 7.25±0.77%). These results showed that selection of polar body extruded oocytes method is more efficient than that of BCB test.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of major odorous pollutants emitted from foodwaste treatment facilities for providing the basic information in field of prevention. Twelve odorous components were analyzed at unit processes in 3 plants on May, August and October. The major odorous components appeared to be Ammonia (559.42 ppb), Acetaldehyde (229.70 ppb), Methylmercaptan (50.39 ppb) and Hydrogen sulfide (48.90 ppb). In the view-point of COC (Calculated Odor Concentration) based on odor threshold, A plant showed the highest value. The major odor active facilities were prevention ＞ input ＞ afterripening ＞ fermentation ＞ boundary ＞ pretreatment. The major odor active components were Hydrogen sulfide, Methylmercaptan, Acetaldehyde and i-valeraldehyde. It is important that the findings on major odor active facilities and components should be referred in the design of odor treatment process to the specific plants.

Serial ultrasonographic examinations were performed to establish a prediction table of parturition date in pregnant Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier, Shih-tzu and Miniature Schnauzer bitches. The inner chorionic cavity diameter and fetal head diameter in 45 pregnant bitches were converted retrospectively based on the day of parturition. The data of inner chorionic cavity diameter obtained from Day-44 to Day-25 and fetal head diameter obtained from Day-25 to Day-1 were used to compile a equations of prediction of parturition date. The 70 pregnant bitches with unknown mating time were examined to assess an accuracy of the equations established in this study. And these results were applied to the prediction of parturition date and compared to actual parturition date. The accuracy for parturition date within 0, 1, and 2 days interval using the equations of prediction of parturition date were 64.3%, 22.8% and 12.8%, respectively. The overall accuracy of prediction table of parturition day based on the ICCD and HD was 100% accurate within 2 days. Therefore, the prediction table seems to be a useful tool of the prediction of parturition day in practice.

Serial ultrasonographic examinations were daily performed from 15 days after ovulation until parturition to determine the growth curve of gestational structures in pregnant Maltese, Yorkshire terrier, Shih-tzu, and Miniature Schnauzer bitches, respectively. Gestational age was timed from the day of ovulation (day 0), which was estimated to occur when plasma progesterone concentration was first increased above 4.0 ng/ml. The inner chorionic cavity diameter were significantly and linearly relative to gestational age especially days 20 to 40, and the fetal head diameter were significantly and linearly relative to gestational age especial1y day 40 to parturition. These results indicate that inner chorionic cavity diameter were the most accurate for estimating gestational age before day 38 of gestation and the fetal head diameter were after day 38 of gestation.
