Cryopreservation of germ cells from genetically proven animals could be a source of restoration tools from the risk of extinction or disappearance of wanted characteristics. Using frozen semen, the genetic gains of Korean native cattle have been increased greatly for 70 years. The preservation of genetic resources as a form of frozen semen straw has limited availability due to the numbers. To circumvent this weakness of frozen semen, we tested two re-freezing methods with different initial thawing temperatures using frozen Korean proven semen and rare breed semen from albino, black and chikso breeders. It has been known that human sperm could resist to cryo-damages by repeated freeze-thaw cycles, but not for Korean proven bulls number (KPN) or for rare breeds. Total 7 frozen semem from brindled(2), black(1), Korean Albino(2) and KPN(1) bulls were used for our research. After thawing straws under 5°C/2min or 37°C/40sec with low temperature water bath and thermo jug, spermatozoa were re-diluted with triladyl diluents after first thawing and re-frozen. Sperm motilities were compared between animals and treated groups after re-thawing. Mean values of motility and viability of refrozen/thawed sperm for expansion of the number of straws were significantly higher in 5°C than in 37°C (P< < 0.05). However, the activity of viable sperm thawed at 5°C was significantly decreased after first and second thawing. It is estimated that re-freezing of frozen semen from rare Korean native cattle is possible with resistant properties of survived spermatozoa.

The objective of this study was to investigate the efficiency of nicotinic acid during in vitro fertilization (IVF) in frozen-thawed bull sperm . The ejaculated semen was diluted with Triladyl containing 20% egg-yolk and cryopreserved in liquid notrigen. The frozen sperm was thawed for 45 seconds in the 38℃ water bath. Sperm was diluted with IVF medium (Bovine-Oviduct medium; BO) containing 0, 15, 30 and 60 mM nicotinic acid (NA), which were incubated at 39℃, 5% CO2 for 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4h. The characteristics of frozen-thawed sperm were estimated with SYBR14/PI double staining for viability, FITC-PNA/PI for outer acrosomal membrane damage and Rhodamine123/PI for mitochondrial integrity using flow cytometry. And the sperm ability was analysed by Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) staining for acrosome reaction state and Rose bengal staining for abnormality. Acrosome reaction and abnormality were analyzed using a microscope. In results, sperm viability was significantly higer in 30 mM group than 0 and 15 mM groups at 1 and 2 h (p<0.05). Outer acrosomal membrane damage was significantly lower in 30 mM group than 0 and 15 mM groups at 1, 2 and 4 h (p<0.05). And mitochondrial integrity was significantly higher in 30 mM group than 0 and 15 mM groups at 2 and 4 h (p<0.05). Also, acrosome reaction was significantly lower in 30 mM than 0 and 15 mM groups at 1 and 2 h (p<0.05) and abnormality was lower NA groups than 0 group at 1 h (p<0.05). In couclusion, we suggest that using the thawing medium containing NA for sperm dilution can be benefical for IVF in bulls

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of sperm cryosurvival in boar sperm separated by Percoll containing antioxidant enzymes. The boar semen was collected into a pre-warmed (37℃) thermos bottle by gloved-hand method and was separated by 65% Percoll with superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH) before freezing. The frozen sperm was thawed at 38.5℃ for 45 sec in water-bath for sperm characteristic analysis. The sperm were estimated with SYBR14/PI double staining for viability, FITC-PNA/PI double staining for acrosome reaction, Rhodamine123/PI double staining for mitochondrial integrity and were analyzed using flow cytometry. In results, sperm viability, acrosome reaction and mitochondrial integrity were improved in separated sperm groups compared with unseparated sperm by Percoll (UP) group. Especially, viability was significantly higher in sperm separated by Percoll containing 400 IU CAT group compared with other groups (P<0.05). And acrosome reaction was decreased in sperm separated by Percoll with 300 IU SOD, 400 IU CAT and 0.5 mM GSH groups compared with other groups, however, there were no significantly difference mitochondrial integrity among sperm separated by Percoll with antioxidant enzymes. In conclusion, we suggest that use of Percoll containing antioxidant enzymes for sperm separation will be beneficial for sperm cryopreservation in pigs.

Cryopreservation and in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocols are important in genetic studies and applications to transgenic animals. Various studies about boar sperm cryopreservation have been studied for a long time. Those were about the use of extenders, the choice of sugars, the cooling and warming rates. The factors that influence the boar sperm are the dramatic changes in temperatures, osmotic and toxic stresses, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Among these factors, ROS generation is the main damage to DNA which is a principal genetic material and the most important for the practical applications. So we wondered whether ROS generation could be reduced. In previous study, monothioglycerol (MTG) was essential for the culture of embryo stem cells. Therefore we added MTG in the freezing extender based on lactose-egg yolk (LEY) with trehalose. For the assessment of the frozen-thawed sperm, we focused onmotility, membrane integrity and DNA damage. First, we used a computer-aided sperm analysis system for overall conditions of sperm such as motility and viability. Then we performed the sperm chromatin structure assay for DNA integrity and hypo-osmotic swelling test for membrane integrity. And our result showed the existence of MTG in the freezing extender caused less damage to DNA and higher motility in frozen-thawed boar sperm. Also we checked a relative antioxidant activity of MTG in modified Modena B extender. We concluded that this reagent can activate sperm mitochondria at MTG 0.2 μM, contribute to sperm motility and DNA integrity but there was no significant difference on membrane integrity. Also antioxidant activity of MTG in modified Modena B extender was proved.

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of L-cysteine on sperm characteristics and oocyte cleavage in vitro in Korean native cattle. For this study, the freezing of diluted semen were added with Triladyl containing 20% eggyolk and/or 0, 5, 10 and 20 mM L-cysteine before cryopreservation. The viability in frozen-thawed sperm were estimated by SYBR14/PI double stain, acrosome damage with FITC-PNA, mitochondria intact with Rhodamin123 and hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) level with carboxy-DCFDA by flow-cytometry. The developmental capacity was also assessed with cleavage rates in oocytes fertilized in vitro by frozen-thawed sperm. In results, the sperm viability was significantly increased in 10 mM and 20 mM concentrations of L-cysteine than other groups (p<0.05). In addition, acrosome damage was significantly decreased in 10 mM and 20 mM concentrations of L-cysteine than other groups (p<0.05). The mitochondria intact was also significantly increased in 10 mM and 20 mM concentrations of L-cysteine than other groups (p<0.05). On the other hand, the cleavage rates were significantly increased in 0 mM, 5 mM and 10 mM groups than 20 mM concentration of L-cysteine (p<0.05). The oocyte degeneration of oocytes were significantly decreased in 0 mM, 5 mM and 10 mM groups than in 20 mM L-cysteine group (P<0.05). However, there are no significantly differences among the L-cysteine treatment groups. We suggest that concentration of 10 mM L-cysteine have beneficial impact for sperm cryopreserved in Korean native cattle. This result also could be recommended for artificial insemination program if supported by an improvement in the fertility results and required further study.

최근 전 세계적인 이상기온 현상으로 인하여 기후변화에 따른 극심한 강우 및 강설빈도가 많아지고 동 절기 기록적인 한파로 인하여 콘크리트의 내구성 특히 동결융해 저항성에 대한 검토가 필연적인 항목이 되었다. 강우 및 강설 상황 시, 공항포장의 표면에 우수 또는 우설에 의한 침투수 및 동결융해 현상에 의 해 포장체의 구조적 성능이 저하될 우려가 있으며 이에 따른 조기파손의 영향으로 항공기의 이·착륙 시 안전에 저해요소로 작용할 소지가 있으므로 이에 대한 대책이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 투수콘크리트를 공항포장용 배수성 시멘트안정처리기층에 적용하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 동결융해 저항성을 분석하고자 한다. 또한 시멘트안정처리기층에 적용하기 위한 투수콘크리트에 대한 동결융해 저항성 기준이 존재하지 않아 미연방항공청(Federal Aviation Administration, FAA) 기준에 명시되어 있는 ASTM D 560 Standard Test Methods for Freezing and Thawing Compacted Soil-Cement Mixtures에 의거하여 중량손실율을 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 고려한 각 실험변수는 고로 슬래그 미분말을 치환하지 않은 Plain 변수를 포함하여 고로슬래그 미분말을 10%, 30% 및 50% 치환한 총 4가지 변수에 대하여 실험을 진행하였다. 동결융해에 의한 중량손실율 실험결과, 중량손실율 측정은 13Cycle까지 실험을 수행하였으며 Plain 변수를 포함하여 고로슬래그 미분말을 10%, 30% 및 50% 치환한 모든 변수에서 동결웅해에 의한 중량손실율이 1% 미만으로 분석되었다. FAA AC 150-5370-10a에 명시되어 있는 ASTM D 560을 활용하여 동결 융해 12Cycle에서의 중량손실율 14% 이하의 값을 월등히 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 공항포장용 배수성 시멘트안정처리기층에 적용하기 위한 투수콘크리트의 동결융해 저항성 확보가 충분히 가능할 것 으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES: It is important to consider the long-term performance of concrete pavement, because concrete pavement is more exposed to the various environmental conditions than any other concrete structures. One of the several methods to evaluate the long-term performance of concrete during winter is KS F 2456. Relative dynamic modulus of elasticity shows the resistance to freezing and thawing. METHODS: To measure relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, ultra sonic is generally used. But in this study, to measure the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, both ultra sonic and shear wave were used and then compared each other. RESULTS: The results from the measurement by ultrasonic wave and shear wave were divided into three types. Type 1 : Specimens are good and relative dynamic modulus of elasticity did not decrease until 300 cycle. Type 2 : The relative dynamic modulus of elasticity decreased from the late cycle.(about 150 cycle later) Type 3 : The relative dynamic modulus of elasticity consistently decreased from the beginning. As a result of ANOVA, there is no difference according to measuring method, in type 2 and 3. But there is a difference according to measuring method, in type 1's relative dynamic modulus of elasticity. CONCLUSIONS: It is proved that shear wave can be used to understand the damage tendency of relative freezing and thawing and to measure the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity.

Cryopreservation induces sublethal damage to the spermatozoa, which leads to their reduced fertile life. This study was designed to determine effect of glycerol and ethylene glycol as cryoprotectant in extender on improve the freezability of Jeju horse semen. The semen was cryopreserved with glucose-EDTA extender containing each 5% glycerol, 5% ethylene glycol, 8% glycerol or 8% ethylene glycol, respectively. Post-thawed sperm were evaluated motility, viability, Membrane integrity and acrosome integrity. Post-thawed sperm motility were not significantly differences among treatments. However, sperm viability were significantly higher (p<0.05) in 8% glycerol (39.85% ±11.41) than in 5% glycerol treatment (18.08%±1.61). In membrane integrity, swelling sperm ratio was significantly higher (p<0.05) in 8% glycerol (34.12%±11.02) than other treatments. In the percentage of capacitated sperm assessed by CTC staining, F pattern was significantly higher in 8% ethylene glycol than 5% glycerol and 5% ethylene glycol (p<0.05). B pattern ratio was significantly increased in 5% ethylene glycol compared with 8% glcerol and 8% ethylene glycol (p<0.05). Moreover, 8% ethylene glycol treatment was significantly decreased AR pattern ratio compared with other treatments (p<0.05). It is concluded that treatment of 8% glycerol was improved the sperm viability and 8% ethylene glycol was improved the sperm ascrosome integrity after thawing. However, they were not significantly difference between 8% glycerol and 8% ethylene glycol on post-thawed sperm viability. Therefore, 8% ethylene glycol was more effective sperm cryoprotectant than 8% glycerol in Jeju Horse.

This study was designed to determine whether low-density lipoporoteins (LDL) extracted from egg yolk in extender improve the function of Korean Jeju Black Bull semen. The semen was cryopreserved with 5% ethylene glycol (EG) or 7% glycerol (G) extenders containing 10% egg yolk (EY), 4% LDL and 5% EY or 8% LDL. Frozen-thawed sperm were evaluated sperm motility, viability, membrane integrity and acrosome integrity. Post-thawed sperm motility has been significantly higher (p<0.05) in 4% LDL + 5% EY (; EG and ; 7% G) than 8% LDL (; EG and ;G). Treatment of 4% LDL + 5% EY-EG () has been significantly improved sperm viability compared to other treatments except 10% EY - EG. Moreover, in membrane integrity, swollen sperm ratio has been only significantly increased (p<0.05) in 4% LDL + 5% EY - EG () among all treatments. In assess to detect acrosome integrity, especially, AR pattern ratio has been significantly decreased (p<0.05) in 4% LDL + 5% EY - EG among all treatments. In sperm viability as time passes, between 4% LDL + 5% EY and 10% EY, there was no significant difference, but 8% LDL was significantly decreased sperm viability in EG (1 and 2 hrs) and G (30 min, 1, 2, 5 and 12 hrs) extender. However, there were no significant differences among all treatments except 8% LDL-G in sperm membrane integrity. 8% LDL-G has been significantly decreased swollen sperm ratio at 5 hrs after thawed. It is concluded from these results that 4% LDL + 5% EY to the freezing extender showed more positive effect on the frozen-thawed spermatozoa in Korean Jeju Black bull.

This study was designed to determine whether low-density lipoproteins (LDL) from egg yolk and taurine, hypotaurine and trehalose as antioxidant in extender improve the freezability and fertility of Korean Jeju Black Bull semen. The semen was cryopreserved with tris egg yolk extenders containing 7% glycerol and treated 4% LDL, 20 mM taurine, hypotaurine and trehalose. Frozen-thawed sperm were evaluated motility, viability, membrane, and acrosome integrity and sperm penetration ability. The results were compared to semen cryopreserved in tris egg yolk extender only as control. Frozen-thawed semen evaluation cleary indicated that the addition of LDL and LDL-antioxidants (taurine, hypotaurine and trehalose) combination were significantly improved (p<0.05) the viability (%; with staining test using eosin-Y) compared to control spermatozoa. Also, in membrane integrity (%; with supravital hypo-osmotic swelling test), not only LDL-antioxiants combination but also LDL were significantly increased (p<0.05) the swelled sperm using HOST compared to control. Sperm acrosome integrity state was classified by CTC (chlortetracycline) staining test. F pattern was significantly increased in LDL-antioxidant combination than control (p<0.05) and B pattern was not significantly differences among all treatments and control. However, AR pattern was significantly decreased in LDL-antioxidants combination than control (p<0.05). Pronucleus formation and sperm penetration index (SFI) were significantly increased in LDL and LDL-antioxidants combination than control (p<0.05). Especially, LDL-taurine significantly improved pronucleus fomation and SFI than LDL (p<0.05). It was concluded that LDL and LDL-antioxidants in extender improved the freezability and fertility of Korean Jeju Black bull spermatozoa.

칡한우는 한우의 품종의 하나로 FAO에 등록되어 있고, 1,700여두가 사육되고 있는 것으 로 추정하고 있다. 그러나 사육두수가 적어 멸종위험품종으로 분류되고 있고, 특히 번식 가 능한 수소의 숫자가 매우 적어 근친의 위험에 노출되어 있다. 칡소에 대한 연구는 유전적 특성(이 등, 2002), 정액동결(조 등, 2011), 모색분포(박 등, 2007) 등으로 아주 제한적으로 보고되고 있어서 증식에 필요한 정액 동결관련 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 칡한우 수소의 활용도를 높이기 위하여 생후 15개월령 단계에서 2-3일 간격으 로 2회 채취하여 동결한 후 거세·비육하여 도체성적을 평가하였다. 정액채취는 인공질(FHK, Japan), 동결희석제는 Triladyl(Minitube, Germany) 희석제를 이 용하였다. 정자의 motility는 CASA system(Minitube, Germany)상에서 Total motile (TM)과 Progressive motile (PM) 비율을 측정하였다. 15개월령 칡소와 30개월령 칡소의 신선 및 동결융해 정액의 활력을 조사한 결과, 15개월 령 수소의 정액량이 평균 2.3 ml이었고, 30개월 수소의 정액량은 평균 5.0 ml로서 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 채정 직후의 신선정자의 TM 비율이 15개월 및 30개월 수소가 각각 평균 93.7% 및 88.3%, PM 비율은 각각 97.0% 및 88.3%로서 PM 비율은 15개월령이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 한편 동결융해 정자의 TM 비율은 각각 평균 56.0% 및 58.0%였고, PM 비 율은 각각 평균 64.0% 및 70.7%로서 차이가 없었다. 칡소 15개월 정액채취가 완료된 후 거세 및 비육하여 출하한 결과와 한우 거세우의 도축 성적을 비교한 결과, 육량은 A등급이 칡한우는 35.7%, 한우는 27.5%였고, B등급은 각각 42.9% 및 52.75였다. 육질등급은 1++등급이 각각 35.7% 및 15.0%, 1+등급이 각각 35.7% 및 30.8%, 1등급은 각각 14.3% 및 32.0% 그리고 2등급이 각각 14.3% 및 20.1%였다. 본 연구를 통하여 칡한우 수소 생후 15개월령에서 정액채취, 동결 및 활용이 가능한 것 으로 판단되며, 향후 칡한우 고유 유전자원의 확보 및 증식에 활용도가 높을 것으로 기대된 다.

닭 정액의 동결보존기술은 유전자원 보존의 수단으로 이용될 수 있는 기술로서 고병원성 조류인플루엔자 같은 악성질병에 의한 멸실을 방지하는 매우 중요한 기술이다. 닭의 정자 는 동결보호제와 동결에 이용되는 희석액에 따른 융해 후 정자의 활성도, 수정율 및 부화율의 변이가 매우 큰 것으로 알려져 있다. 가장 널리 사용되는 동결보호제인 Glycerol은 동결 정 액 제조에 가장 많이 이용되며 융해 후 닭 정자의 생존성이 비교적 우수한 것으로 알려져 있으나, 인공수정에 직접 이용할 경우에 수정율의 저하현상이 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 동 결보호제중 하나인 N-Methylacetamide(MA)를 이용하여 한국 재래계인 오계 수탉의 정자 를 동결보존, 융해 및 인공수정을 실시하여 수정율과 부화율을 조사하였다. 복부 마사지법으 로 채취한 정액을 5℃ 저온수조에 담아 실험실로 이송하였으며 MA을 함유하지 않은 희석액 (HS-1)에 1:1의 비율로 희석하여 30분간 5℃ 온도로 유지시켰다. 2차 희석액은 14, 18 그 리고 22%의 MA가 함유된 희석제를 이용하였으며 1차 희석된 정액과 1:1 비율로 희석하여 0.5ml 스트로에 충진 하였다. 액체질소 표면 위 4 cm에 설치된 간이 지지대에 밀봉된 스트 로를 30분간 정치하여 동결하는 간이동결법을 이용하였다. 동결된 정액을 1～2주간 보관한 후, 5℃로 조절된 저온수조에서 융해하고 운동성 있는 정자와 활력이 우수한 정자의 비율 을 비교 분석하였다. 동일한 방법으로 융해한 정액으로 인공수정을 실시하고 7일 간 수정 란을 수집하여 부화기에 배양하여 7일차에 발생란을 검란하였다. 대조군에서 희석된 정액 의 경우 98.4% 수정율이 관찰되었으며 실험군에서는 7, 9 및 11% MA의 경우 각각 21.5 %, 34.7% 및 25% 수정율이 관찰되었다. 수정율에 대한 부화율은 대조군에서 88.9%를 관 찰하였고 실험군은 100%, 89.5% 및 87.5%로 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과로 유추해 볼 때, 오 계 정자의 동결보존에 유용할 수 있는 MA의 농도의 범위는 약 9% 내외로 판단되며 특히 MA는 오계 수정란의 수정율과 부화율에 미치는 영향이 낮은 것으로 사료되었다.

복제동물 생산을 위한 체세포 핵이식 성공률은 공여세포 준비를 포함하여 많은 요소들에 의한 변수가 크다. 체세포 핵이식의 공여세포로 사용되는 세포는 G0/G1기로 세포주기를 맞 춘 confluence한 신선 배양세포를 일반적으로 이용하고 있다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 돼지 체세포 복제수정란 생산시 동결융해세포의 이용가능성을 확인하고자 일반세포와 형질전환 세포에서 신선한 배양세포와 동결융해세포를 이용한 복제수정란의 체외발달능력 및 배반 포 의 세포자연사를 비교하였다. 공여세포는 유전자가 삽입되지 않은 일반 미니돼지 귀세포와 상기세포에 GalT 유전자가 적중된 형질전환세포를 이용하였다. 배양세포는 confluence상태에서, 동결융해세포는 confluence 상태에서 동결된 세포를 융해하여 핵이식에 사용하였다. 수핵란과 공여세포가 융합 된 복제수정란은 PZM-3 배양액에서 38.5℃, 5% CO2, 5% O2 조건하에서 6일간 배양하여 배반포 발달율을 조사하였으며, 배반포의 세포자연사는 TUNEL법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 일반세포의 경우, 융합율(83.3 vs 79.1%), 배반포 발달율(18.0 vs 15.0%), 배반포 세포수 (38.4±12.8 vs 42.0±12.4) 그리고 배반포의 세포자연사 비율(2.1±2.7 vs 1.9±3.7%)은 배 양 세포와 동결융해세포 간에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 형질전환세포의 경우, 융합율 (87.0 vs 82.4%), 배반포 발달율(24.6 vs 17.3%) 그리고 배반포 세포수(35.3±11.9 vs 37.7± 15.4)는 두 세포군 간에 통계적 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났지만, 배반포의 세포자연사 비율 (6.0±4.8 vs 10.6±9.4%)은 배양세포가 동결융해세포보다 유의하게 낮은 것으로 나타났다 (p<0.05). 본 연구 결과는 배양된 신선 체세포를 대체하여 confluence 상태에서 동결보존된 돼지 체 세포는 융해 직후 공여세포로서 돼지 복제수정란 생산에 유용하게 활용될 수 있음을 제시 하고 있다.

For reconstituting genetic resource(Korean Native Chicken: KNC) with grem-line chimeric chicken made with cryopreserved biastdermal cells, the experiments were carried out to optimize cryopreservating conditions. Stage X biastdemal cells were collected from KNC embryos and dissociated. Cells were susupended in medium containing cyopretectant and fetal bovine serum(FBS), and distributed into plastic ampules. Cell susupensions were seeded to induce ice formation at —7 ℃ to —35 ℃ at in the experiments, the effect of modification of dissociation way, concentration of FBS and cell density on the vaibility of frezen-thawed cells were investigated by trypan blue exclusion. Then change the way of cell dissociation from pipetting to short time vortexing, viability of frozen-thawed cell tended to be increaced from 29 % to 52 %. Increase concentraition of FBS in frozen medium from 20 % to 80 % made viability of thawed cell from 28 % to 35 %. The viability of thawed cells were 33.9% frozen at 2 embryos/ 0.5ml, and 43.6 % frozen at 20 embryos/0.5 ml. Furthermore, combination of three modifications make big improvement. The viability of frozen-thawed cell was 60 % for combinated method, and 41 % for general method. This result means the advance to practical cryoreservation of blastdermal cell of the KNC(Ogolgye breed).

The objective of this study is to estimate the effect of adding TES to LEY and FGE freezing extender for the sperm viability, acrosomal morphology and DNA fragmentation from miniature pig sperm, we evaluated sperm characteristics in TFGE, TLE and LEY with various thawing condition ( for 20 sec, 45 sec and for 5 sec, respectively), and in different concentration of glycerol at 1%, 1.5%, 3%. The sperm viability and normal acrosome intact(NAI) in TFGE (Viability : , NAI : ), TLE (, ) extender significantly(p<0.05) increased than that in LEY (, ) extender thawed at for 5 sec. According to the results from glycerol concentration, the viability and NAI of miniature pig sperm in 1.5% glycerol TLE (, ) was highest among the experimental groups. In accordance with this, DNA fragmentation rates was the lowest in TLE () while that in LEY () is the highest. Therefore, these results suggest that TLE extender method for freezing- thawing of miniature pig sperm increased the viability after thawing.
