Feline ovulation time after LH surge have not been defined because its LH surge is occurred by several times of coital vaginal induction and cat has relatively longer time between LH surge and ovulation compared with other mammalian species. This study was performed to investigate the feline ovulation time after LH surge that was induced by hCG injection for superovulation with PMSG. For superovulation, all cats were received an initial injection of PMSG (200 IU, i.m.) followed 80 hrs later with an injection of hCG (200 IU, i.m.). And then, sampling of both ovaries was surgically performed at each 6 different times (10, 18, 22, 26, 29, and 32 hrs) after hCG injection. Cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COCs) were collected from 2 sides of oviducts and ovaries were fixed for ovarian histology. Total 38 COCs were collected only at hCG 32 hrs and no COCs were shown at earlier 5 times. However, in the ovarian histology, corpus haemorrhagicum or corpus luteum was not shown in all groups including ovary at hCG 32 hrs that COCs were collected. In conclusion, it was suggested that feline ovulation was occurred at 29~32 hrs after LH surge and taken relatively long time for CL formation after ovulation.

Compared with bulk material, quantum dots have received increasing attention due to their fascinating physical properties, including optical and electronic properties, which are due to the quantum confinement effect. Especially, Luminescent CdSe quantum dots have been highly investigated due to their tunable size-dependent photoluminescence across the visible spectrum. They are of great interest for technical applications such as light-emitting devices, lasers, and fluorescent labels. In particular, quantum dot-based light-emitting diodes emit high luminance. Quantum dots have very high luminescence properties because of their absorption coefficient and quantum efficiency, which are higher than those of typical dyes. CdSe quantum dots were synthesized as a function of the synthesis time and synthesis temperature. The photoluminescence properties were found strongly to depend on the reaction time and the temperature due to the core size changing. It was also observed that the photoluminescence intensity is decreased with the synthesis time due to the temperature dependence of the band gap. The wavelength of the synthesized quantum dots was about 550-700 nm and the intensity of the photoluminescence increased about 22~70%. After the CdSe quantum dots were synthesized, the particles were found to have grown until reaching a saturated concentration as time increased. Red shift occurred because of the particle growth. The microstructure and phase developments were measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD), respectively.

본 시험은 Holstein종 수소를 조기에 외과적 거세 후 SR-rbST 투여시 사육 단계별 건물 및 영양분 섭취량 변화에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 Holstein 수소 32두를 공시 하여 얻어진 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 건물 섭취량은 비거세구와 거세구는 큰 차이 가 없었지만 rbSTl구와 rbST2구는 각각 7.88kg과 7.65kg으로 비거세구와 거세구에 비해 6~9% 정도 건물 섭취량이 적었다. 2. NRC 비육우 요구량 대비

초음파는 인체에 무해하다고 알려져 산부인과에서 태아의 진단 및 발육상태 확인을 위해 널리 이용되고 있다. 진단 초음파의 장시간 사용은 체온 변화를 야기할 수 있지만 초음파로 인한 임신부의 자궁온도 변화에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자체 제작한 자궁모형팬텀을 이용하여 초음파 주사 시간에 따른 온도 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 조직등가 물질인 아크릴과 돼지 자궁을 이용하여 인체 자궁과 유사한 자궁모형팬텀을 자체 제작하였으며 초음파 장비와 4㎒ convex probe를 사용하였다. 아크릴 수조 내부, 자궁내부, 대기온도 측정을 위해 3개의 탐침형 온도계를 설치하였고 측정대상의 온도를 분단위로 6 시간, 총 361회 측정한 결과 자궁모형팬텀의 온도가 상승되었음을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 초음파로 인한 인체 체온 상승의 가능성을 확인 할 수 있었고 본 연구가 초음파 열 흡수효과 연구의 기초자료로 활용 될 것이라 사료된다.
