In vitro culture has provided new information on the mechanisms involved in fertilization how sperm and oocyte fuse together. At the same time, results obtained in vitro have led to new questions. Techniques for In vitro maturation of porcine oocytes have progressed such that the problem of the low rate of pronucleus formation with in vitro matured oocytes after in vitro fertilization has been nearly improved. On the other hand, porcine spermatozoa have been shown to be capacitated if the fertilization medium contains caffeine and Ca$^2+$, but the incidence of polyspermy in IVM-IVF oocytes is still high. To prevent polyspermy, co-culture with oviductal cells, sperm preincubation with porcine follicular fluid or control of sperm concentration, have been examined with significant effects but still remarkably high rates of polyspermy. The under standing of these influences is a prerequisite to enhancing in vitro production of porcine em bryos.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of artificial insemination (AI) failure in 1,619 Korean native cows at Gangwon East area, Korea. The average AI failure rate was 37.02% in the cows and the highest rate was 40.85% in Yangyang-city. Based on the parity in the cows, the AI failure rate was 49.14% and 29.91% in the first and fifth parity cows, respectively. Whereas cows until fifth parity were decreased in AI failure, cows with sixth or more parity showed an upturning AI failure trends with the increasing of parity number. AI failure rate incidence according to the rump fat thickness measured by ultrasound was 28.9% and 33.4% at 5 mm to 10 mm and over than 15 mm, respectively. There was a positive correlation (0.2186) between AI failure rate of mother and that of their offspring cows. That is, offspring of dams with high AI failure rate showed also higher AI failure than those of dams having lower AI failure rate. In conclusion, these results indicate that the AI failure rate was closely related to the rump fat thickness, parity number, and conception rate of mother cows. In addition, these results might strengthen the basis to improve the reproductive performance in Korean native cows.

종계가 낳은 알이 모두 종란은 아니다. 수정율, 부화율이 높고, 품질 좋은 초생추를 생산할 수 있는 종란만이 종란이다. 종란을 취급하는데 있어 좀 더 세심한 주의를 기울일 필요가 있다.

연구목적: 전반적인 자궁내막증이 체외수정시술에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 특히 stage III-IV 자궁내막증을 갖는 불임환자 체외수정시술 결과에 대하여 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 연구재료 및 방법: 1998년 9월부터 2001년 9월까지 진단복강경을 통해 자궁내막증으로 진단된 환자 중 체외수정시술을 시행 받은 91명 131주기를 대상으로 하였으며 이중 stage III-IV의 자궁내막증을 갖는 환자는 27명 34주기였다. 비교군은 이시기에 진단된 순수 난관원인으로 체외수정시술을 시행한 40명 56주기를 대상으로 하였다. 통계학적 검사는 Student's t-test와 Chi-square test를 시행하였고, p<0.05를 유의성이 있는 것으로 판정하였다. 결 과: 전체 자궁내막증 환자와 난관인자의 체외수정시술에서 두 군간의 나이는 $31.6{\pm}3.3$, $32.6{\pm}3.6$세로 비슷하였다. 채취된 난자의 수 ($10.3{\pm}6.6$ vs $11.7{\pm}5.1$), 성숙난자 수 ($7.4{\pm}4.7$ vs $7.7{\pm}4.9$), 수정율 ($70.2{\pm}32.4%$ vs $73.7{\pm}20.0%$), Good embryo quality rate (8세포 (G1+G2)를 2PN의 개수로 나눈 값) (32.6% vs 32.4%) 및 배아이식 수 ($4.6{\pm}1.4$ vs $4.8{\pm}1.1$)로 두 군간에 차이는 없었다. 또한 임상적 임신율의 경우도 각각 30.7%, 42.8%로 비슷하였다. 중등도 및 중증의 자궁내막증과 난관인자의 비교에서 성숙난자 및 채취된 난자의 개수는 각각 $8.8{\pm}4.9$, $7.7{\pm}3.9$, $11.3{\pm}7.0$, $11.7{\pm}5.1$개로 두 군간에 차이는 없었다. 수정율은 stage III와 IV 군에서 감소되는 경향을 보였으나 통계학적인 유의성은 없었다 ($66.2{\pm}30.0%$ vs $73.7{\pm}20.0%$). Good qulity embryo rate (GQER)는 stage III-IV 자궁내막증 환자군에서 22.0%로 순수 난관인자의 32.4%에 비하여 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 통계학적인 유의성은 없었다 (p=0.15, Chi-square test). 배아이식 수의 경우는 각각 $4.7{\pm}1.5$, $4.8{\pm}1.1$개로 차이가 없었다. 배아이식 주기당 임상적 임신율의 경우는 stage III-IV군에서 25.0% (8/32), 난관인자 군의 42.8% (24/56)로 통계학적인 유의성은 없었으나 (p=0.06, Chi-square test), 중등도 및 중증의 자궁내막증을 갖는 환자에서 임신율이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 결 론: 체외수정시술시 자궁내막증이 임신율에 나쁜 영향을 미치지 않지만, 중등도 및 중증의 자궁 내막증을 갖는 불임환자의 체외수정시술에서는 임신율에 나쁜 영향을 끼칠 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the toxi-cological effects of different vitrification solution on development of immature porcine oocytes in vitro. Oocytes were exposed to EFS solution [40% ethylene glycol (EG) + 18% Ficoll + 0.3M sucrose], ES solution (5.5M EG + 1.0M sucrose) or GE solution [10% glycol (G) + 20% EG], and these oocytes were transferred to sucrose solution directly. Maturation rates were significantly (P<0.05) higher in the ES solution (44.5%) and control (57.6%) than in the EFS solution (38.8%) and GE solution (22.4%). No differences among three solution were found in fertilization rates. Cleavage rates was significantly (P<0.05) higher in the ES solution (47.1%) and control (65.9%) than in the EFS solution (21.9%) and GE solution (19.0%), but no difference among three solutions was found in the blastocyst formation rates. These results indicate that combination of EG and sucrose solutions had effects on development of immature porcine oocytes.

시볼트전복, Haliotis sieboldii은 일본 남부연안과 우리 나라의 제주 연안에 분포는 난류계 전복으로 체중이 1kg까지 성장하는 대형전복이다. 최근 들어 전복양식이 활성화되면서 성장이 빠르고 환경 적응력이 우수한 새로운 종의 개발 보급이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 시볼트전복은 이러한 양식개발의 잠재력이 다른 종에 비하여 유리한 종이지만 아직까지 어미의 성숙관계가 불규칙하고 수정율이 낮은 원인으로 대량종묘생산이 어려운 실정이다. (중략)

This study was carried out to investigate artificial insemination (AI) failure status and frozen semen characteristics in Korean proven bulls' number (KPN) semen used for AI of Hanwoo cows in Gangwon East region (Gangneung, Donghae, Taebaek, Samcheok, Sokcho, Yangyang, Goseong). Among semen used for AI, AI failure rate showed lowest at KPN506 (27.6%), whereas highest at KPN593 (77.2%). Correlations of AI failure in between Korean proven bulls semen and cows was 0.2941, which means that AI failure rate of Korean proven bulls semen may have respectable effect on reproduction of Hanwoo cow. In addition, present study was conducted to investigate spermatozoal viability rate, ruptured acrosome rate and active mitochondria in frozen Korean proven bulls semen with flow cytometry. The semen of KPN593 showed significantly ($p$<0.05) higher viability rate in KPN593 (30.49%) than that in KPN637 (37.34%). Furthermore, percentage of ruptured acrosome was lower in KPN637 as 21.37% than in KPN637 (21.37%), but it was not statistically significant. In conclusion, these results indicate that choice of Korean proven bulls semen may correlate positively with conception rate in Hanwoo cow. Therefore, KPN with high AI failure rate might be avoid to increase conception rate and characteristics of frozen semen might be evaluated before its use for AI.
