The objective of this study was to evaluate the comparison of production efficiency of oocytes and OPU (ovum pick‐up) derived embryos of Hanwoo with Holstein. The OPU session of each species (6 cows) was carried out from the Hanwoo (106 sessions) and Holstein (114 sessions) at intervals of 3 4 days (2 times per week) for 3 months. Cumulus‐oocyte‐complexes (COCs) retrieved were classified into 4 grades by the status of oocyte cytoplasm and cumulus cells. The COCs collected were matured in vitro in TCM‐199 supplemented with 10% FBS, 10 mg/ml FSH and 1 mg/ml estradiol‐ 17β in 5% CO2 and over 99% humidity for 24 h. After 24 h co‐incubation with post‐thaw sperm, the presumed zygotes were cultured in CR1aa medium with 4 mg/ml BSA for 3 days and then changed CR1aa medium with 10% of FBS for another 3 4 days. The Mean number of aspirated follicles and collected oocytes were not significantly different between Hanwoo and Holstein spacies (10.4±0.42 vs. 11.4±0.41 and 7.5±0.38 vs. 6.1±0.37 per session). But the collection rate of oocytes from aspirated follicles were significantly higher in Hanwoo (72.8%) than that in Holstein (53.6%) (p< 0.05). Furthermore, the average number of good quality oocytes (Grade I and II) was 5.9±0.28 and 4.1±0.27 (Mean±SD), and the cleavage rate and the development rate to blastocysts was significantly (p<0.05) higher in Hanwoo (40.0%) than Holstein (21.6%). The OPU derived embryos of Hanwoo were transferred 83 times into 52 recipients and then 42 calves were produced from 44 pregnancy recipients. In conclusion, the efficiency of OPU derived embryo was significantly different between Hanwoo and Holstein species. In vitro culture system for OPU derived embryo production should be optimized for industrialization and the improvement of livestock.
Chinese language is a kind of language developing with the growth of Han nationality. In history, Chinese language and Chinese character, symbol of words recording, have greatly impacted on countries all over the world. Chinese language plays an important role in Korean and Japanese language.Saussure said: “language is a system of signs that express ideas”. Lenin said: “The language is the most important tool”. For human communication Chinese, as a major tool of thinking and communication, records the splendid history and culture of Chinese nation, accumulates abundant communication experience and forms the complete language system of signs with its own features. Along with the advancing of Chinese national power, upgrading of international status and the expanding of the international exchange, Chinese language has been listed as one of working languages by the UN. More governments and nongovernmental give more attention to the Chinese language and more and more people are keen on learning Chinese.From scientific development point, according to principles of “cognitive rules, regulation of Chinese language and discipline of education”, the thesis adopts effective approaches for comprehending basic knowledge of modern Chinese characters encouraging students to experience the language practice and to cultivate the ability of using language In addition, the article puts forward the experiments on “literacy, reading and correction”. to contribute to “student orientation, un-separated words while learning character, non-disjunction when studying words, studying language while learning characters and vice versa.” This is to “putting knowledge into practice”, “learning efficiently and reading as soon as possible”, so as to improve the level of learning the knowledge and to breakthrough scientific phase of the education of Chinese characters and Chinese language.Results of education experimental research on Chinese character and Chinese language:Case: I rapid reorganization of Chinese characters.Case: II correcting words mistakes.Chinese language, as the important carrier of Chinese culture heritage, will become one of the most developed languages, which is used by the largest amount of people. Let’s share the beauty and civilization brought for human by Chinese language.
Successful pregnancy requires well-coordinated interactions between the maternal uterus and the developing embryo in pigs. In pigs, implantation begins around Day 12 of pregnancy. During this period, conceptus undergoes a dramatic morphological change and secretes various factors such as estrogens, interleukin-1 beta (IL1B), and interferons. Estrogens produced by conceptuses act as the signal for maternal recognition of pregnancy, and the mechanism of estrogen action is explained by the endocrine and exocrine theory. The uterine endometrium becomes receptive to the conceptus by changing cell adhesion molecules, polarizing epithelial cells and increasing secretory activity. Some changes of uterine activity are affected by the ovarian hormone, progesterone, but the presence of conceptus in the uterus also induces changes of endometrial functions, including most importantly maternal recognition of pregnancy. Many factors, such as hormones, cytokines, enzymes, extracellular matrix proteins, and transport proteins are reported to be present at the maternal-fetal interface and function in the establishment of pregnancy in pigs. However, understanding of the cellular and molecular events occurring in the endometrium is not complete. In recent studies we made some progress on understanding of expression and function of genes involved in maternal-fetal interaction for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in the uterine endometrium in pigs. Firstly, we found that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) was present at the maternal-and fetal interface at the time of implantation and LPA receptor 3 was uniquely expressed in the endometrium during early pregnancy. Secondly, we observed that salivary lipocalin (SAL1), a lipid-binding protein, was uniquely expressed in the uterine endometrium at the time of embryo implantation, and its expression was regulated by IL1B. Furthermore, expression of IL1B receptors are regulated by estrogen and IL1B, and IL1B functions in expression of genes related to prostaglandin synthesis and transport. Thirdly, we found that calcium regulatory molecules TRPV6 and S100G were dynamically regulated in the uterine endometrium during pregnancy, suggesting that regulation of calcium ion concentration may important for the embryo implantation and the maintenance of pregnancy. Finally, we observed that an MHC class II molecule, SLA-DQ, is expressed in the uterine endometrium at the time of conceptus implantation and its expression is essential for successful pregnancy, indicating that appropriate maternal-fetal immune interaction is required for the maintenance of pregnancy. Further analysis of these molecules will provide insights into the cellular and molecular basis of maternal-and fetal interaction during pregnancy in pigs.
Grapholita molesta, G. dimorpha and C. sasakii as “internal feeders” are important apple pests in Korea. Three species overwinters around and in apple orchards. New young larvae of three species bore into new shoots or fruits and then feed inside apple. When mature larvae escape from fruits they make holes that reduces the commercial value of fruit. Therefore, understanding the phenological distribution of three species is critical to establish the precise management system for reducing three species population. The study was conducted to investigate the adult emergence of G. molesta, G. dimorpha and C. sasakii using pheromone traps and to forecast the cumulative proportion of each population. This study is second part of consecutive experiment. Data collection was carried out on three commercial apple orchards and one experimental orchard of Giran in 2010 and 2011. The experimental process was same in the study of plum. More than 50% of G. molesta male was occurred in spring season (within 500 degree-days), 2010 and 2011. The adult emergence of G. dimorpha and C. sasakii was linear and sigmoidal pattern in each year. The phenology of C. sasakii was explained well by nonlinear functions and the equation 3, 6, 8 and 11 were selected based on AICc and BIC. The selected equations were validated by the data of present year (2011) in each region. The performance of G. molesta and G. dimorpha was analyzed well by bimodal functions. The importance of phenological model is discussed to develop and maintain a more precise system for multiple pest management on apple orchard.
덕적군도는 인천시 옹진군 서남쪽 약 82km 지점에 있는 덕적도를 비롯한 소야도, 문갑도, 선갑도, 선미도, 백아도, 굴업도, 울도 등으로 구성되어 있으며, 대체로 해안선의 굴곡이 심하고 곳곳에 소만입이 발달해 있다. 도서생물 지리학적으로 섬은 육지와 전혀 다른 혹은 독립된 생태적 특징을 가진다. 도서지역에서는 한정된 공간과 먹이자원의 한계가 있는 특성상, 종의 침입에 대한 저항성이 내륙보다 상대적으로 낮기 때문에 안정화 단계의 종 군집이 유지되지 않고, 여러 종들이 불안정한 군집을 이루며, 정착과 소멸을 반복하는 등의 변화가 심한 구조를 갖는 과정에서 종 다양성이 높게 나타나는 경향(Webb and Vermaat, 1990)이 있다.
본 연구는 덕적군도 도서지역의 곤충상을 파악하여 덕적군도 주변 섬들의 곤충상 비교를 통해, 도서지역의 곤충 다양성에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고, 덕적군도의 주요도서인 백아도, 굴업도, 지도 및 선갑도의 곤충상을 판단하여 보다 객관적인 자료를 제시하는데 목적이 있다.
조사는 총 4회에 걸쳐 덕적군도 도서를 대상으로 정량조사 및 정성조사를 병행 실시하였다. 조사결과 덕적군도 내의 4개 도서에서 총 11목 71과 272종이 확인되었다. 조사 기간이 여름에만 한해 있던 것을 감안하면 실제 서식종은 더 많을 것으로 판단된다. 법적 보호종은 굴업도에서 멸종위기야생동물II급에 해당하는 애기뿔소똥구리와 왕은점표범나비 2종이 확인되었으며, 백아도에서 멸종위기 야생동물II급에 해당하는 물장군이 확인되어 총 3종이 확인되었다.
Recently, biological systematic studies have contributed for understanding of evolutionary histories of living organisms. In this talk, I present how evolutionary histories are inferred from the phylogenetic relationships. Two case studies in the Cimicomorpha (Heteroptera) are presented: 1. Inferring ancestral character states of the plant bugs (Heteroptera: Miridae); 2. Revealing evolutionary history of the Cimicoidea based on correlated evolution between habitat selection and morphological characters (Heteroptera: Cimiciformes).
Case I: The first comprehensive cladistic analysis of Miridae, the plant bugs, is presented based on analysis of 3935 base pairs of mitochondrial (16S, COI) and nuclear (18S, 28SD3) DNA for 91 taxa in seven subfamilies. Data were analyzed using maximum likelihood (ML), parsimony, and Bayesian inference (BI) phylogenetic frameworks. Divergence time estimates indicate that the radiation of the Miridae began in the Permian; most genus-level radiations within subfamilies began in the late Cretaceous, probably in response to the angiosperm radiation. Ancestral feeding state reconstructions based on Bayesian and parsimony inference were largely congruent and both reconstructed phytophagy as the ancestral state of the Miridae. Furthermore, the feeding habits of the common ancestors of Mirinae + Deraeocorinae, Bryocorinae + Cylapinae + Isometopinae + Orthotylinae, and the remaining taxa excluding Phylinae, were inferred as phytophagous. Therefore, at least three shifts from phytophagy or polyphagy to predation occurred within the Miridae.
Case II: The diverse habitat types and discrete morphological characters of cimicoid species provide a unique opportunity to study correlated evolution. Phylogenetic relationships within Cimicoidea were determined using Bayesian analyses of molecular data, allowing the generation of testable hypotheses of correlated evolution. An investigation of the correlation between habitat selection and morphological characters revealed that a dead plant habitat was correlated with the filiform antennal type. Furthermore, molecular dating analysis was used to examine divergence times within the Cimicoidea. Transitions to live plants from dead plants for most cimicoid clades started right after the mid–Cretaceous, coinciding with the radiation of the angiosperms. Using contingency analyses, I determined that evolutionary changes in morphological characters were dependent on habitat selection. Based on these results, I propose evolutionary historical hypotheses for the Cimicoidea.
Today, the weather is changing continually, due to the progress of global warming. As the weather changes, the habitats of different organisms will change as well. It cannot be predicted whether or not the weather will change with each passing day. In par
The civil consciousness for reducing odor by increasing the flow rate with the Gulpo river which has been played a major water course in Incheon area were investigated with the survey of odor related questions for the citizens neighboring the river. The citizens suferred from odors generated from the river and factories has shown that the increase of the flow rate had good effect for reducing odors from the results of survey.
In this study, optical emission spectroscopy was used to monitor the plasma produced during the RF magnetron sputtering of a BaTiO3 target. The intensities of chemical species were measured by real time monitoring with various discharge parameters such as RF power, pressure, and discharge gas. The emission lines of elemental and ionized species from BaTiO3 and Ti targets were analyzed to evaluate the film composition and the optimized growth conditions for BaTiO3 films. The emissions from Ar(I, II), Ba(I, II) and Ti(I) were found during sputtering of the BaTiO3 target in Ar atmosphere. With increasing RF power, all the line intensities increased because the electron density increased with increasing RF power. When the Ar pressure increased, the Ba(II) and Ti(I) line intensity increased, but the Ar+ line intensity decreased with increasing pressure. This result shows that high pressure is of greater benefit for the ionization of Ba than for that of Ar. Oxygen depressed the intensity of the plasma more than Ar did. When the Ar/O2 ratio decreased, the intensity of Ba decreased more sharply than that of Ti. This result indicates that the plasma composition strongly depends on the discharge gas atmosphere. When the oxygen increased, the Ba/Ti ratio and the thickness of the films decreased. The emission spectra showed consistent variation with applied power to the Ti target during co-sputtering of the BaTiO3 and Ti targets. The co-sputtered films showed a Ba/Ti ratio of 1.05 to 0.73 with applied power to the Ti target. The films with different Ba/Ti ratios showed changes in grain size. Ti excess films annealed at 600˚C did not show the second phase such as BaTi2O5 and TiO2.
최근 가정용 방향제 시장의 성장과 더불어 향과 감성을 접목하는 차별화 전략이 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 방향 제품 시장에서 가정용 방향 제품으로 선호되는 오렌지향과 솔잎향에 대하여 방향 제품의 감성적 효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 실험 1에서는 가정에서의 휴식 환경을, 실험 2에서는 공부방 환경을 조성하여 방향 제품의 감성적 효과에 대하여 심전도와 뇌파 반응을 통하여 파악하였다. 실험 1과 실험 2에 총 18명의 대학생들이 방향제가 없는 환경, 오렌지향, 그리고 솔잎향이 비치된 환경의 순서로 총 3회에 걸쳐 실험에 참여하였다. 실험 1에서는 실험참여자들의 심전도 변화를 기록하여 부교감 신경계의 활성화 정도를 분석하였고, 실험 2에서는 태스크를 수행하는 동안 발생되는 뇌파를 기록하여, 집중과 관련된-Sensory Motor Rhythm 파 및 Mid Beta파-뇌파 발생의 비율을 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 솔잎향 제품의 경우 거실환경에서의 긴장 완화 및 공부방 환경에서의 집중력 증가, 즉 편안한 집중에 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 한편 실험 2에서는 사칙연산 문제와 도형 문제에 따라 실험참여자들이 좌뇌와 우뇌를 서로 다른 정도로 활용함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이는 기존의 연구에서 공간지각능력 및 창의적 사고와 관련이 있다고 밝혀진 우뇌 활동을 활성화하기 위하여 도형 문제 학습을 활용할 수 있음을 시사한다.
Autophagy is a process of intracellular bulk protein degradation, in which the accumulated proteins and cytoplasmic organelles are degraded. It plays important roles in cellular homeostasis, apoptosis, and development, but its role during early embryo development remains contentious. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the effects of 3-methyladenine (3-MA) on early embryonic development in pigs. we also investigated several indicators of developmental potential, including mitochondrial distribution, genes expressions (autophagy-, apoptosis- related genes), apoptosis and ER-stress, which are affected by 3-MA. After in vitro maturation and fertilization, presumptive pig embryos were cultured in PZM-3 medium supplemented with 3-MA for 2 days at 39℃, 5% CO2 in air. Developmental competence to the blastocyst stage in the presence of 3-MA was gradually decreased according to increasing concentration. Thus, all further experiments were performed using 2 mM 3-MA. Blastocysts that developed in the 3-MA treated group decreased LC3-II intensity and expressions of autophagy related genes than those of the untreated control, resulting in down-regulates the autophagy. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) showed that the number of containing fragmented DNA at the blastocyst stage increased in the 3-MA treated group compared with control (6.0±1.0 vs 3.3±0.6, p<0.05). Also, the expression of the pro-apoptotic gene Bax increased in 3-MA treated group, whereas expression of the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-XL decreased. Mito Tracker Green FM staining showed that blastocysts derived from the 3-MA treated group had lower mitochondrial integrity than that of the untreated control, resulting in decrease the embryonic qualities of preimplantation porcine blastocysts. Then, the expression of the spliced form of pXBP-1 product (pXBP-1s) increased in 3-MA treated group, resulting increase of ERstress. Taken together, these results indicate that inhibition of autophagy by 3-MA is closely associated with apoptosis and ER-stress during preimplantation periods of porcine embryos.
본 연구는 유기재배 벼 시비에 있어서 주로 이용되는 유기자재가 토양화학성과 벼의 수확량과 품질에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 구명하기 위해서 수행되었다. 전남지역 벼 유기재배에서 양분공급원으로 많이 이용되는 금수강산골드를 compost I으로 하였다. 식물성 성분이 많이 함유된 자재(쌀겨팰렛®)를 compost II, 생선가공부산물을 별도로 추가 제조한 자재(참달콤®)를 compost III, 그리고 동물성과 식물성이 혼합된 자재(한가위®)를 compost IV로 나누어서, 벼 이앙 후에 표층시비로 토양에 골고루 처리하였다. 유기자재내의 탄소 :질소율이 상대적으로 낮았던 compost I과 III가 compost II와 IV에 비교하여 시기별로 유기자재내 질소의 무기태화가 빠르게 진행되었다. 유기자재에 따른 토양의 화학성은 별다른 영향을 받지 않았고 토양의 시기별 유기물 함량은 유기자재 투입량이 많았던 compost II와 IV가 높게 나타났고 이는 biomass C에도 영향을 주었다. 처리에 따른 벼 수확량은 시용 첫해에는 compost I에서 높았지만 시용 2년차와 3년차에는 처리에 따른 차이는 나타나지 않았다.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the relationship between in vitro maturation and plasminogen activators (PAs) activity on porcine cumulus-oocytes complexes (COCs) exposed to oxidative stress. When COCs were cultured in maturation medium with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the proportion of the germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and oocytes maturation were decreased with addition of H2O2, and were significantly (p<0.05) lower in medium with 0.1 mM H2O2 than control group. Also, the rate of degenerated oocytes was increased in as H2O2 concentration increased. When COCs were cultured for 48 h, three plasminogen-dependent lytic bands were observed: tissue-type PA (tPA); urokinase-type PA (uPA); and tPA-PA inhibitor (tPA-PAI). PA activity was quantified using SDS-PAGE and zymography. When H2O2 concentration was increased, tPA and tPA-PAI activities also increased in porcine oocytes cultured for 48 h, but not uPA. In other experiment, embryos were divided into three groups and cultured in (1) control medium, (2) control medium with 1.0 mM H2O2 and (3) control medium with 1.0 mM H2O2 along with catalase in concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 mg/ml, respectively. H2O2 decreased the rate of GVBD and maturation in porcine COCs but catalase revealed protective activity against oxidative stress caused by H2O2. In this experiment, tPA and tPA-PAI activities were higher in media with 1.0 mM H2O2 alone. Increasing concentration of catalase decreased tPA and tPA-PAI activities in porcine oocytes. These results indicate that the exposure of porcine follicular oocytes to ROS inhibits oocytes maturation to metaphase-II stage and increase the oocytes degeneration. Also, we speculated that increased ROS level may trigger tPA and tPA-PAI activities in porcine oocytes matured in vitro.

Li metal is accepted as a good counter electrode for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as the active material in Li-ion and Li-ion polymer batteries. We examined the existence of signal noise from a Li-metal counter quantitatively as a preliminary study. We suggest an electrochemical cell with one switchable electrode to obtain the exact impedance signal of active materials. To verify the effectiveness of the switchable electrode, EIS measurements of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) before severe Li+ intercalation to SFG6 graphite (at 〉 ca. 0.25 V vs. Li/Li+) were taken. As a result, the EIS spectra without the signal of Li metal were obtained and analyzed successfully for the following parameters i) Li+ conduction in the electrolyte, ii) the geometric resistance and constant phase element of the electrode (insensitive to the voltage), iii) the interfacial behavior of the SEI related to the Li+ transfer and residence throughout the near-surface (sensitive to voltage), and iv) the term reflecting the differential limiting capacitance of Li+ in the graphite lattice.
