This study is to find the utilization of intermittent aeration system, around S-COD, T-COD, SS, timewise changes of treatment performance, sludge conversion yield, changes of temperature and pH, etc. In consequence of this study, factors of temperature correction showed 1.052 on continuous aeration, and 1.056 on intermittent aeration which is more sensitive to temperature through a minute degree. Meanwhile, sludge conversion yield on intermittent aeration showed lower and more economical than that on continuous aeration. In case of changing pH, treatment water of both reactors worsened slightly in acid but improved in alkali. In general. considering the quality of effluent water, variation pH of effluent water, etc. the case of intermittent aeration was more favorable than that of continuous aeration.

소 난포란의 체외성숙시 성숙배지에 FSH 및 LH의 첨가가 체외성숙난자의 calcium 반응과 체외수정란의 발달에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 난포란의 체외성숙은 TCM199을 기초로 한 4가지의 배양조건 하에서 : 1) 0.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml FSH＋5$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml LH, 2) 0.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml FSH, 3) 5$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml LH 및 4) 무 호르몬 첨가구로서 5% CO2에 24시간 동안 체외성숙을 유도하였다. 체외성숙 24기간째에 난포란의 과립막세포는 1ml PB1＋에서 4분 동안 vortexing을 하여 완전히 제거하였다. 세포 내 calcium 반응을 측정하기 위하여 2mM Fura-2 AM ester 및 0.02% Pluronic F-127가 첨가된 PB1-용액에 39$^{\circ}C$ in cubator에서 40분 동안 배양하였다. 30${\mu}\ell$ M2 medium drop을 30mm plastic dish에 만들어 20$\times$ 형광대물렌즈가 장착된 Nikon Diaphot 현미경의 장착된 Nikon Diaphot 현미경의 warm stage에 설치하였다. 세포 내 calcium 방출을 자극하기 위하여 난자에 25mM inositol 1, 4, 5-trasphophate(IP3)로 1.21kV/cm의 전기자극 또는 20mM ryanodine으로 미세주입을 실시하였다. 이러한 처리를 하지 않은 난자는 체외수정 후 CR1aa와 BRL monolayers의 공배양조건 하에서 체외발달을 유도하였다. 분할율(Day 2)과 배반포기발달율(Day 9)을 조사하였다. FSH와 LH의 처리구에서 IP3 또는 ryanodine으로 자극된 난자(1.79$\pm$0.05, 1.66$\pm$0.06)는 FSH, LH 및 무 호르몬처리구에 비하여 유의적으로 높은 calcium 반응을 보였다(1.00$\pm$0.03, 1.28$\pm$0.04, and 0.53$\pm$0.02 in IP3 elctroporation; 0.68$\pm$0.05, 1.03$\pm$0.05, and 0.47$\pm$0.04 in ryanodine microinjection). FSH와 LH, FSH, LH처리구에서 분할율(87.9, 71.5 및 75.6%)은 무 호르몬처리구(60.7%)(P<0.05)에 비하여 유의적으로 높았으며, FSH와 LH처리구(29.3%)에서의 배반포기 발달율은 FSH, LH 처리구뿐만 아니라 무 호르몬처리구보다 유의적으로 높았다(16.5, 19.0 and 9.8%)(P<0.05). Bovine FSH 및 Ovine FSH의 처리구에서의 calcium 반응은 유의적인 차이가 없었다(1.72$\pm$0.05, 1.61$\pm$0.06). 또한 분할율(82.2 and 84.0%) 및 배반포기(27.8 and 27.1%) 발달율도 bovine 및 ovine FSH처리구간에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과에서 전기자극에 의한 세포 내 calcium 반응은 체외성숙배지에 첨가하는 호르몬의 처리에 따라서 유의적인 변화를 보였다. 비록 분할율은 처리구간에 유의적인 차이가 없었지만 배반포기 발달율은 FSH와 LH 공동처리구에서 FSH, LH 단독처리구 및 무 호르몬처리구에 비하여 유의적으로 높은 발달율을 보였다. 체외성숙기간에 FSH와 LH의 공동첨가는 체외성숙 및 체외발달의 생리적인 교정을 위하여 요구되는 것으로 사려된다.

Separating the patient from hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) before achieving adequate rewarming often results in afterdrop, which can predispose to electrolyte disturbances, arrhythmia, hemodynamic alterations, and shivering-induced increase of oxygen consumption. In an attempt to find an adequate end point temperature of rewarming after hypothermic CPB, 50 pediatric cardiac surgical patients were r ndomly assigned for end point temperature of rewarming of 35.5$^{\circ}C$ (Group 1) or 37t (Group 2), rectal temperature. Thereafter the rectal temperature was measured half, one, four, eight, and 16 hour after arrival to the intensive care unit(ICU), with heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally the rectal temperature was compared with esophageal temperature during CPB, and axillary temperature luring stay in the ICU. Nonpulsatile perfusion with a roller pump was used in all patients and a membrane or bubble oxygenator was used for oxygenation. Both groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, body surface area, total bypass time, and rewarming time. There was no afterdrop in both groups, and there were no statistical differences in the rectal temperatures between two groups. There were also no statistical dilyerences with respect to the heart rate and blood pressure between two groups. At the end of rewarming the esophageal temperature was higher than the rectal temperature. The axil ary temperature measured in ICU was always lower than the rectal temperature. No shivering was noted in all patients. In conclusion, with restoration of rectal temperature above 35.5$^{\circ}C$ at the end of CPB in pediatric patients, we did not observe an afterdrop.

소 난포란을 체외에서 성숙, 수정시킨 후, 2~8 세포기 수정란을 체외배양액인 CR$_1$aa에 일정량의 nitric oxide scavenger, Hb와, inhibitor인 L-nitro - L- arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)를 첨가 배양하여 체외발육에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 실시하였다. 체외수정 후 체외배양 48시간에 난구세포의 제거 유.무에 따라 CR$_1$aa 배양액에 hemoglobin을 0, 1, 5$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$를 첨가한 구의 상실배기이상 체외발육성적은 난구세포를 제거한 구에서 23.8%, 33.3% 및 26.8%였으며, 난구세포를 제거하지 않은 구에서는 각각 39.5%, 54.8% 및 48.8%로써 난구세포를 제거하지 않은 구에 Hb를 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$를 첨가한 구가 여타구 보다 통계적으로 높은 결과를 얻었다(P<0.05). 체외수정 후 체외배양 96시간 후 난구세포를 제거 유.무에 따라 Hb를 0, 1, 5$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$를 첨가하였을 때, 상실배기 이상 체외발육성적은 난구세포를 제거한 구에서 각각 28.6%, 46.2% 및 39.1%였으며, 난구세포를 제거하지 않은 구에서는 각각 33.9%, 67.2% 및 46.0%로써, 난구세포를 제거하지 않은 구에 Hb를 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$첨가구가 여타구에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다( P<0.05).CR$_1$aa배양액에 L-NAME를 0, 10, 50 및 100mM을 첨가한 구에서 상실배이상 발육된 체외발육성적은 각각 55.6%, 64.9%, 58.8% 및 66.7%로써 L-NAME 첨가구가 무첨가구에 비해 커다란 차이가 나타나지 않았다(P>0.05). 본 실험의 결과로 볼 때, nitric oxide scavenger인 hemoglobin의 첨가는 체외수정 후 체외배양 96시간에 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ 첨가하는 것이 체외수정란의 체외 발육율을 향상시켰으며, nitric oxide inhibitor인 L-NAME는 첨가 농도에 관계없이 체외수정란의 체외발육율에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 본 실험에서 생산된 배반포기 체외수정란의 세포수에는 커다란 차이가 인정되지 않았다.

The present study was examined effects of aesculetin and $O_2$concentrations on in vitro development of Hanwoo (Korean Native Cattle) embryos derived from in-vitro matured and fertilized (IVM-lVF) oocytes. The oocytes were cultured for the first 40~44 h after in vitro fertilization, then embryos of 2 to 8 cell stages were cultured under the different culture conditions for another 6 days. In experiment 1, the higher rates of morulae and blastocysts were produced in 5% $O_2$, than in 20% $O_2$(P＜0.05). There was significantly (P＜0.05) higher in embryos cultured with 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ than with 0, 5 and 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of aesculetin. In experiment 2, the proportions of embryo developed with blastocysts and morulae plus blastocysts in 5% $O_2$, again was significantly (P＜0.05) higher in 20% $O_2$, during the culture with aesculetin and/or taurine. In the 5 and 20% $O_2$atmosphere, the inclusion of 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ aesculetin or 2.5mM taurine increased significantly (P＜0.05) the percentages of blastocysts and morulae plus blastocysts. In experiment 3, in medium with aesculetin plus PDGF and taurine plus EGF than other treatment groups, significantly (P＜0.05) higher developmental rates were obtained. Number of blastomere in balstocyst stage were also higher in medium with that than without aesculetin. However, there were no significant differences in all culture conditions. In experiment 4, the proportions of embryo developed to the morulae and blastocyst stages were significantly (P＜0.05) higher rates in medium with natural and commercial aesculetin than in control medium. No significant differences, however, were observed in between natural (71%) and commercial (70.0%) aesculetin. Number of blastomere in blastocyst stage were also higher in medium with natural and commercial aesculetin than in control medium. However, there was no effect on the number of blastomeres by these treatment. These data indicate that preimplatation embryos are very sensitive to condition that can cause oxygen concentration and show that efficiency role of aesculetin for improving bovine embryo development in vitro.

This study was carried out to examine the effects of nitric oxide compounds (hemoglobin and L-NAME) on the development of porcine in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) oocytes. Cumulus cell free embryos derived from porcine IVM/IVF oocytes were cultured in NCSU23 medium containing 1~5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ hemoglobin added to 44 and 96hrs in culture times, and in NCSU23 medium containing 0, 10, 50 or 100mM L-NAME. The developmental rates beyond morulae stage in 0, 1 and 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ hemoglobin groups add to 44hrs in vitro culture times were 52.4%, 57.6% and 57.4%, respectively. The addition of hemoglobin groups made it slightly higher than the control group. The proportion of embryos developed to morulae and blastocysts in 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ hemoglobin add to 96hrs after in vitro culture (70.8%) was a little higher than those of 0 and 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ hemoglobin (66.2% and 62.8%). There was no significant difference in all groups (P〉0.05). The developmental rates beyond morulae stage in 0, 10, 50 and 100mM of L-NAME groups add to 96hrs after in vitro culture were 65.2%, 73.5%, 70.1% and 53.3%, respectively 10mM and 50mM L-NAME groups were significantly higher than in 0 and 100mM of L-NAME groups (P＜0.05). In conclusions, these results indicate that L-NAME (10mM, 50mM) can increase the proportion of embryos that develop into morulae and blastocysts but hemoglobin did not affect.
