In order to examine the interaction of albumin with the sperm during capacitation in mouse, proteins of cauda epididymal sperm were extracted under various conditions and analyzed with SDS-PAGE. Sperm surface labeling patterms were also examined using fluorochroin~conjugated wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Albumin was detached from the sperm surface during the incubation and seemed to be constituted the major protein components of the conditioned media in which sperm incubated for 90 mm. Detachment of albumin from the sperm was not affected by the Ca2+ in the medium. WGA-FITC labeling confirmed that Triton X-100 permeabilired plasma membrane overlaying the apical segment of sperm head and detached plasma membrane associated proteins having negatively charged glycoconjugates. BSA-FITC labeling of epididymal sperm occurred on the apical segment of periacrosoinal region and postacrosomal region of the head. BSA-FITC labeling was not observed in periacrosoinal region of the sperm treated with Ca2+-ionophore ~3187 (10 MM)~ whereas the postacrosome region of acrosome-reacted sperm was still labeled after the AR. These results suggest that albumin bound to the surface of epididymal sperm is detached during the capacitation process, and it might be involved In physiological change of sperm plasma membrane accompanying the capacitation.

The study was to develop the instruments including instructional materials and test items for enhancing spatial ability. A mixed methodology was chosen to achieve the purpose of the study. To find students' achievement, 5 units of instructional materials were developed through the qualitative method and test items were tested through the quantitative method with 152 of the 8th-graders. The strategies to develop the instructional materials were: firstly to focus on mathematics properties for developing spacial ability; secondly, to allow students to follow hierarchical procedure o[ mathematical properties from 2-d to 3-d; thirdly, to recognize what the manipulative can do and can not; and fourthly, to guide students tn develop the process oriented thought, not the result oriented thought. For the test, 25 items were analyzed to assess students' achievement using validity, difficulty, and discriminator.

The effect of paternal telomere length on reproductive performance, relationship between paternal and offspring telomere length, and association between paternal telomere length and offspring production performance were investigated in Korean native chickens. Using 22 paternal chickens and 329 offspring, the paternal reproductive performance such as fertility, embryo mortality, and hatchability, as well as the offspring production performance such as survival rate, body weight, and weight gain were analyzed. Telomere length was analyzed through quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization using lymphocytes. No significant differences were observed in fertility, embryo mortality, and hatchability between paternal chicken telomere lengths (P<0.05). These results indicate that paternal telomere length had a weak negative correlation with fertility and embryonic death rate but a weak positive correlation with hatchability. The correlation coefficient between paternal telomere length and offspring survival rate was r=0.17 (P>0.05). The group of offspring with long paternal telomeres showed relatively poor growth performance. Moreover, a significant negative correlation was estimated between paternal telomere length and offspring growth performance (P<0.05). The correlation coefficient between paternal and offspring telomere lengths was r=0.075 (P>0.05). In conclusion, there was a weak association between paternal telomere length and reproductive performance, offspring survival rate, and offspring telomere length, respectively. However, paternal telomere length and offspring growth performance showed a negative relationship. Such results could be due to the re-extension of telomere length by telomere reprogramming in the early embryonic stage and the different degree of telomere shortening between individuals with increasing age after birth.

To secure a higher percentage of fertility in hatching eggs and a higher percentage of hatchability of the fertile eggs should be of direct benefit to poultry breeder ana hatchery operators. This study was carried out to estimate the relationships of egg production and fertility in broiler breeder. The data analysed were the record of pullets (5 strains) of broiler breeder raised at Poultry Breeding Farm, Seoul National Univ. from 1982 to 1983. Since the purpose of the study was only to find out the relationships between egg Production and fertility, many other factors thought to be included in fertility were fixed as much as possible. The results were summarized as follows. 1. Mean figure of egg production rate and fertility from 30 weeks age to 60 Weeks of age to 60 weeks of age were 60.5-65.2 percent and 82.7-87.9 percent. 2. Correlation coefficients between egg Production rate and fertility were high and positive, except line K, and the coefficients have highly significant differences. 3. Regression coefficients of fertility on egg Production rate were 0.54-0.97, except line K. 4. Maximum fertility age estimated from the polynomial regression equation were 44-47 weeks. The results obtained in this study suggested that the selection of high performance strain in egg Production should improve the fertility.

최근, 한우의 수정란 체외이식두수가 급격히 늘어나고 있으나, 모축의 등록번호를 대부분 확인 할 수 없으며, 확인이 가능할지라도 개체별 수정란의 생산이 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 실험에서는 모축의 등록번호가 확인된 개체의 난소로부터 채취한 난포란만을 체외성숙, 수정, 배양하여 배 발생율을 조사하고, 동결성적을 조사하였다. 도축된 한우의 난소를 개체별로 채취하여 2$0^{\circ}C$생리식염수에 넣어 3시간 이내에 실험실로 운반하고, 난포란을 채취하였다 개체별로 채취한 난포란은 9~47개/난소였고, 평균 14.3개/난소였다. 개체별 난포란은 IVMD 101 (일본, 펩티트연구소)에서 22물24시간 동안 체외 성숙시킨 후, IVF 100(일본, 펩티트연구소)으로 2회 세정한 후, 각각의 배양액 50${\mu}\ell$ 소적에 5개씩 5~6시간 수정시켰다. 수정란을 저 산소 배지 IVD 101 (일본, 펩티트연구소)로 7~9일간 배양하여 배 발생율을 조사하고 동결하였다. 평균 수정율은 81%, 배반포의 발생율은 35% 였으며, 동결 가능한 수정란은 평균 4개/두 정도 얻을 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로 한우의 개체가 확인된 난소로부터 수정란생산이 가능하고, 육질등급이 우수한 한우의 수정란생산이 가능해졌으며, 앞으로 고 능력 젖소의 난소에서도 고능력 수정란의 생산이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

대수정규분포와 와이블분포는 비정규분포를 하는 공정특성에 반영된다. Hahn 과 Shapir(1967)의 수치 예를 통해 이러한 대수정규분포와 와이블분포를 식별하는 검정방법으로 최우비 검정(RML)을 사용하였다. 검정결과 와이블분포를 하는 공정으로 판단되어, 와이블분포 의 모수 추정은 실무에서 그래프와 수식으로도 쉽게 추정할 수 있는 수정적률추정량(MME)를 이용하여 공정 능력을 평가하였다. 공정능력의 평가 측도로 공정능력지수와 불량률(PPM)의 측도와 병행하여 나타내었다. 공정능력 평가의 결과로 와이블분포를 하는 공정을 대수정규분포로 잘못 판단함으로써 발생하는 오류를 2가지 측도로 표현함으로써 올바르게 공정능력을 판단할 수 있도록 종합적인 정보를 제시하였다.

품질보증 부분에서 대부분 통계적 수법들은 기지분포를 가정하여 데이터를 분석하고 있다. 예를 들면 공정능력에서는 정규분포를 가정하고 있고, 신뢰성 분석에서는 지수분포, 대수정규분포 또는 와이블분포 등을 가정하고 있다. 만약 이러한 것들이 가정하는 확률분포와 크게 편의될 때 도출된 결론은 그 유효성을 상실하게 된다. 따라서 공정이 정규분포를 하지 않는다면 정규분포에 기초한 공정능력지수의 사용은 부정확한 공정의 정보를 제시하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 그 사례로 소표본일 경우 정규성의 유무를 Lilliefors 검정통계량으로 검정하였다. 그리고 최우추정량(MLE), 수정적률추정량(MME), 및 적률추정량(ME)을 사용하여 모수추정을 하여 그 각각의 경우에 공정능력지수로 평가하였다. 공정능력지수의 평가는 공정이 지수분포를 하는 경우에 적합한 공정능력지수($C_{pe}$)를 제안하고, 이것의 대안으로써 Pearson 시스템, Johnson 시스템 및 Burr 시스템과도 비교평가 하였다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of saccharide in the lactose-egg yolk(LEY) extender for freezing of boar semen on the viability, normal acrosome, fertilizable of in vitro or in vivo oocyte after thawed. Normal acrosome post-thawed spermatozoa was higher when increasing of glucose concentration in LEY extender with 3 or $4\%$ glycerol, but viability was not significant. Viability of the post-thawed spermatozoa was higher when fructose or fructose and glucose were added to LEY extender with $3\%$ glycerol than glucose and sucrose or fructose, glucose and sucrose(P<0.05). Rate of normal acrosome of post thawed spermatozoa was higher when both fructose and glucose$(81.4{\pm}2.3\%)$ were added to the LEY extender than saccharide not added$(41.6\pm0.6\%)$ to it(P<0.001). The percentage of fertilization, cleavage and development to blastocyst of oocytes fertilized with post-thawed spermatozoa from freezing by LEY extender were $70.8\~80.7\%$, $44.6\~45.7$ and $13.6\~16.0\%$, respectively. Conception rate by artificial insemination with frozen boa. semen was higher$(83.1{\pm}0.3\%)$ than commercial frozen semen from SGI company$(50.0{\pm}0.1\%,\;P<0.05)$, but litter size were no significant differences between frozen by LEY extender$(9.4{\pm}1.7\~10.4{\pm}0.7head/sow)$ and SGI semen$(8.0{\pm}1.1 head/sow)$.

최근 홀스타인 경산우는 체격이 대형화함과 동시에 유전적 개량에 의해 비유량이 증가하고 있으나, 비유량이 증가하는 한편, 번식성적의 저하가 전 세계적인 문제로 되고 있다. 미국의 경우, 젖소의 첫 인공수정 수태율은 1951년의 약 65%에서 1996년 약 40%까지 저하하였다는 보고도 있다(Butler 등). 또한 영국에서도 과거 25년간에 수태율이 약 50%에서 35%까지 저하하여 40%를 밑돌고 있으며(Cook 등), 일본의 경우도 마찬가지로 북해도 젖소의 첫 수정 수태율은 40%를 밑돌고 있다는 것으로 미루어 우리나라의 경우도 이와 유사한 성적이나 좋지 않을 것으로 사료된다. 더구나 수태율의 저하와 아울러 분만간격(평균공태일수)는 매년 연장되고, 현재 고능력 젖소에서 번식 성적의 향상은 해결과제로, 세계각국에서는 번식성적저하의 요인 및 대책에 대한 많은 연구가 이뤄지고 있다. 따라서 고능력 젖소에서 유량, 부(負, -)에너지 균형 및 BCS 등이 번식성적에 미치는 영향 등에 대해 국내 외의 수집 논문, 자료 등을 정리하여 대동물임상수의사들에게 도움을 주고자 소개하고 저 한다.
