The purpose of this experiment was to compare the pregnancy rate (PR) according to the state of the ovaries and uterus, according to the number of embryos transferred from cows and heifers and to investigate the method of artificial twin induction with Hanwoo in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos by embryo transfer (ET). Looking at the PR according to the condition of the ovaries and uterus, the result was not influenced by the condition of the ovaries, but was significantly influenced by the state of the uterus. The PR according to the number of embryos transferred from cows was 36.8%, 53.0%, 50.5% for 1, 2, and 3 embryos, respectively and although there was a higher frequency of twin calves with 3 embryos than 2, the calving rate was the highest with 2 embryos. In case of heifers, the transfer of 1 embryo showed the best pregnancy and calving rate, and although the PR was similar with 2 embryos (67.7 versus 66.4), in case of 2 embryos transferred there was high frequency of embryonic loss (6.1%) occurred when a cow was diagnosed at 28 and 53 d after ET, total loss (21.3%); sum of fetal death, abortion and stillbirth after pregnant diagnosis at 60 day.

넙치(Paralichthys olivaceus) 수정란의 부화율에 대한 중금속(Cd, Cu, Zn)의 급성독성을 조사하였다. Cd, Cu 및 Zn (0, 10, 100, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000 ppb)에 수정란을 48h 노출시킨 후, 정상 부화율을 백분율로 나타내었다. Cd, Cu 및 Zn을 포함하지 않는 대조구에서는 정상 부화율이 80% 이상을 나타냈으나, 중금속 농도가 증가할수록 정상 부화율은 급격히 감소하였다. 정상 부화율은 Cd, Cu 및 Zn에 대해 농도 의존적으로 감소하였으며, 각각 1000, 100, 100 ppb 이상의 농도에서 유의적이 차이를 나타내었다. P. olivaceus의 정상 부화율에 대한 Cd, Cu 및 Zn의 반수영향농도(EC50)를 이용한 독성은 Zn¤Cu¤Cd 순으로 강한 것으로 나타났으며, 이들 중금속에 대한 EC50는 각각 584, 1015, 1282 ppb를 나타내었다. Cd에 대한 NOEC는 500 ppb를 나타냈고 LOEC는 500 ppb를 나타내었다. Cu와 Zn의 NOEC와 LOEC 각각 100 ppb와 500 ppb로 유사한 값을 나타내었다. NOEC와 LOEC 결과로부터 자연생태계 내에서 Cu와 Zn 농도는 100 ppb, Cd 농도는 500 ppb를 초과할 경우 P. olivaceus 수정란의 정상 부화율은 감소할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로, P. olivaceus의 정상 부화율을 이용한 생물학적 시험은 중금속과 같은 유해물질에 대한 해양생태계의 영향을 판단하기 위한 시험방법으로 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

산업화에 의해 발생되어진 여러 가지 오염물질 가운데 중금속인 니켈, 코발트, 수은은 연안 해역으로 유입 시 극히 미량일지라도 생체 내 축적되어 해양생물의 생리 및 발생에 장애를 일으키는 것으로 알려져 있으며 먹이연쇄 (food chain)를 통해 생물확대 (biomagnification)됨으로써, 해양생태계 전반에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구는 유용 수산생물로써 조간대 암반 지역에 서식하는 말똥성게 (Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus)를 이용하여 니켈, 코발트, 수은의 생태 위해성을 조사하고자 한다. 성숙한 말똥성게 (H. pulcherrimus)에 0.5 M KCl를 주입하여 방란 및 방정을 유도한 후, 수집한 정자 및 난자를 니켈 (10, 25, 50, 100, 500 ppb), 코발트 (10, 100, 500, 1000, 2500 ppb) 그리고 수은 (10, 25, 50, 100, 500 ppb) 농도에서 10분간 인공수정 한 후, 수정 및 배아발생을 관찰하였다. 실험결과 수정률은 노출 된 각각의 니켈과 코발트 농도에 유의적인 영향을 받지 않았다. 수은은 농도가 증가할수록 농도 의존적으 로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 배아 발생률은 니켈, 코발트 및 수은 농도가 증가 할수록 농도 의존적으 로 유의적인 감소를 나타내었다. 말똥성게 (H. pulcherrimus)의 배아 발생률에 대한 니켈, 코발트 및 수은 의 영향을 독성치로 나타냈을 때, 무영향농도 (NOEC)는 10 ppb로 모두 같은 값으로 나타났고, 최소영향 농도 (LOEC)는 각각 25 ppb, 10 ppb, 10 ppb로 나타났으며, 반수영향농도 (EC50)는 각각 34.19 ppb, 71.84 ppb, 144.66 ppb로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, H. pulcherrimus의 배아 발생률을 이용한 생태독성 평가시, 니켈>코발트>수은 순으로 독성이 강한 것으로 나타났으며, 이들 중금속이 연안해역에 유입되어 10 ppb를 초과할 경우 연안 생태계 내에 서식하는 생물의 재생산에 유해한 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.

Field research was undertaken for recovering mosquito larval mermithid parasite, Romanomermis species in rice fields in 54 different areas in period of May through October, 2009. Of 54 area rice fields surveyed, Romanomermis sp. recoveries were made from 4 areas. 32 Anopheles mosquito larvae, malaria disease vector were infected and died from samples collected in Pochon area, and a total of 10 Culex mosquito larvae, house frequenting mosquito were infected to death in 3 different areas, Gimpo, Sangju and Gurae, respectively. On the basis of positive natural infection record, an intensive host-parasite occurrences and/or population study was surveyed in foci area of Pochon in small pond (P) and Rice paddies (A and B) during 5 months till end of October. The natural mermithid infection was continuously occurred from June through October in weekly samples, however the rate of infection was appeared higher in June-July, thereafter the rate gradually decreased in progress of the season. The highest natural infection rate was observed from the Pond 9.1% followed by Rice paddy "A" 5.2%, Rice paddy "B" 2.4%, respectively. Including 2 other Rice paddies "C" and "D", a total mosquito larvae collected was 3,270, an overall average natural infection rate was recorded as 3.7% (121 Anopheles mosquito larvae infected).

The objective of this study was to examine alcohol consumption rates and the perception of drinking cultures among college students in the Wonju area. An examination of factors such as frequency of drinking, average quantity consumed, and frequency of heavy drinking suggested that the drinking rates were relatively high. Over 70% of subjects drank at least once a week, 66.2% typically drank more than 5 servings at a time, and 19.2% of males and 13.0% of females were heavy drinkers. It was revealed from an AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test) assessment that 71.3% of the subjects tested had various levels of alcohol-related problems. These problems were more severe in subjects that were male, selfboarding, or overweight. Alcohol related knowledge was not high because the subjects didn't know or incorrectly recognized some contents such as blood alcohol concentration, the energy content of alcohol, and the empty caloric characteristics of alcohol. Generally male, self-boarding, and overweight persons were not critical of the undesirable characteristics associated with drinking culture. Two opinions that were generally considered to be permissible were: 'Men should be able to drink' and 'Drinking is essential for a smooth human relationship'.

The study was conducted to estimate the contents of heavy metal in commercial herbal medicines (1047 samples of 132 species) which were collected from markets in Seoul and to analyze the contents of heavy metals of herbal medicines by classifying them by parts. The samples were digested using microwave method. The contents of heavy metal (Pb, Cd, and As) and Hg were determined using Inductively coupled plasma-Mass spectrometer (ICP/MS). And the contents of Hg were obtained by Mercury analyzer. The average values of heavy metal in herbal medicines were as follows [mean (minimum-maximum), mg/kg]; Pb 0.870 (ND-69.200), As 0.148 (ND-2.965), Cd 0.092(ND-2.010), and Hg 0.007 (ND-0.137). And the average values of heavy metal by parts in herbal medicines were as follows [mean (minimum-maximum), mg/kg]; Ramulus 2.046 (0.065-4.474), Herba 1.886 (0.048-10.404), Flos 1.874(0.052-5.393), Cortex 1.377 (0.011-4.837), Radix 1.165 (0.012-70.111), Rhizoma 1.116 (0.016-5.490, Fructus 0.838(0.017-4.527), Perithecium 0.729 (0.013-4.953), Semen 0.646 (0.006-4.416). The average values of heavy metal of imported herbal medicines except Radix were higher than domestic ones. By decoction of herbal medicines exceeding the tolerances, average intake rates of Pb, As, Cd and Hg were obtained as 6.1%, 40.3%, 4.7%, and 2.2%, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the survival rate of frozen-thawed spermatozoa in equine by glycerol concentration and freezing speed. Two stallions (1 Thoroughbred-13 year old and 1 Arab-7 year old) bred in Korea Racing authority was examined for 1 times in a couple of weeks. Semen was collected by condom method standing heated mare and were centrifuged 650 g for 15 min. and isolated the seminal plasma. Thick fraction of semen was diluted EDTA-Lactose-egg yolk diluents to 1:1 and contained in 0.5 ml straw as 6～14×107cells/ml. Final concentrations of glycerol were 3, 5 and 7% in cryopreseved diluents and added 4 times for 2 hours equilibration. For the freezing, equilibrated straws were located 3 or 5 cm above LN2 gas for 5 or 10 min. Survival rates of pre-frozen sperm were 65.0±13.2%, 68.3±10.4%, 66.7±11.5% and post-frozen were 53.3±23.1%, 45.0±15.0%, 50.0±18.0% in 3, 5, 7% glycerol concentration, respectively. There was no difference between glycerol concentrations. Survival rates of frozen-thawed sperm on freezing speed were 36.7±10.4%, 40.0±7.1%, 30.0±13.2% at 3 cm－5 min and 33.3±11.5%, 31.7± 2.9%, 21.7±10.4% at 3 cm－10 min in 3, 5, 7% glycerol concentration, respectively. Survival rates of frozen-thawed sperm on freezing speed were 43.3±15.3%, 32.0±17.9%, 22.3±15.7% at 5cm－5 min and were 47.5±15.0%, 43.3±12.6%, 48.3±15.3% at 5cm－10 min in 3, 5, 7% glycerol concentration, respectively. There were significantly different between groups (p<0.05). These results suggest that glycerol concentration did not affect cryopreservation of stallion semen within 3～7% but freezing speed affects. In our experiment, the best cryopreservation condition was at 5 cm above LN2 gas for 10 min for pre-freezing and 7% of glycerol concentration. These results lead to commercial AI with frozen-thawed stallion semen.

This studies were conducted to investigate the survival rate of frozen-thawed spermatozoa of Jindo Dog by monosaccharide and freezing rates. Experimental animals were prepared 12 males within 1~8 year's old and collected once in a couple of weeks by digital manuplation methods. Collected semen was diluted 1:1 with Tris-egg yolk extender and added 4, 6 or 8% of glycerol and none, 4 mM glucose or 4 mM fructose as cryoprotectant and was equilibrated for 2 hrs in . In monosaccharide groups, the freezing rate was 5 cm-5 min. above . The survival rates without monosaccharide were , , in 4, 6 or 8% glycerol, respectively. In addition of glucose, the survival rates were , , in 4, 6 or 8% glycerol, respectively and in fructose, were , , in 4, 6 or 8% glycerol, respectively. There showed significantly different between glycerol groups and monosaccharides groups (p<0.05). The survival rates of freezing rate in 5 cm-5 min. group was , , and in 10 cm-10 min. group was , , in 4, 6 or 8% glycerol, respectively. There were significantly different between freezing rates (p<0.05). These results suggest that the addition of fructose with 6%-glycerol and slow freezing improve the survival of frozen-thawed sperm in Jindo Dog.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the collection time, co-culture and sperm penetration of canine oocytes on in vitro maturation and fertilization. The oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 media containing hormonal supplements (10% FCS, 10 IU/ml HCG, 10 IU/ml PMSG) at 5% CO2, 95% air, 38℃. The in vitro maturation rate to MⅡ stage of in vitro oocytes recovered from ovaries that collected at follicular, luteal and inactive phases of the reproductive phase for 44～72 hrs were 19.2%, 12.2%, and 6.0%, respectively. Follicular phases oocytes had a significantly higher in vitro maturation rate than oocytes collected at luteal and anestrus stage (p<0.05). The in vitro maturation rates to the MII stage of canine oocytes after 48 hrs of culture with glutathione, pyruvate, or glutathione + pyruvate were 12.5%, 10.7%, and 17.5%, respectively. This was higher than that in both alone or the combination of the two compared to the control group (19.0%). The sperm penetration rates of in vitro matured oocytes by fresh and frozen semen were 29/80 (36.3%) and 18/80 (22.5%), respectively. Although there are limited reports about canine oocytes co-culture and in vitro fertilization, our results on in vitro maturation is comparable to the results from other researches.

선박에서 발생하는 각종 사고의 처리와 손해배상은 선박보험료에 영향을 미치게 되므로, 해양사고와 선박보험료와 증감은 선박의 국제안전관리규약(ISM Code) 도입의 효과를 측정하는 직접적인 평가척도가 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ISM Code 국내도입 1년 전에서부터 도입 후 8년 동안에 변화하는 해양사고 및 선박보험요율의 분석을 통해, ISM 시행에 따른 성과를 파악하였다. 해양사고는 ISM 이행 1년 전에 비해 ISM 이행 8년차에는 약 14.4%가 감소하였고, 보험율도 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.
