The task for chromosome analysis and diagnosis by experienced cytogenetists are being concerned as repetitive, time consuming job and expensive. FOr that reason, chromosome analysis system based on knowledge base for CAI had been established to be able to analyze chromosomes and obtain necessary advises from the knowledge base instead of human experts. That s to say, knowledge base by IF THEN production rule was implemented to a knowledge domain with normal and abnormal chromosomes, and then the inference results by knowledge base could enter the inference data into the database. Experimental data were composed of normal chromosome of 2,736 patients'cases and abnormal chromosomes of 259 patients'cases that have been obtained from GTG-banding metaphase peripheral blood and amniotic fluid samples. The complete system provides variously morphological information by analysis of normal or abnormal chromosomes and it also has the advantage of being able to consult with user on chromosome analysis and diagnosis.

Three different cats who had chronic kidney disease (CKD) were treated for more than one month with fluid therapy in an animal clinic. Although this long-term treatment and hospitalization, there was no clinical improvement in clinical signs as well as serum biochemical indexes including blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CREA), and phosphate (PHOS). All cases were then injected three times with allogeneic stem cells through an intravenous route for treatment on Day 0, 7, and 14 or 30. On the same day, clinical observation and blood tests for serum biochemistry were conducted together. Upon administrating stem cells to the CKD cats, clinical conditions and the indexes of BUN and CREA were clinically improved within normal ranges. Additionally, one of the cats who had the renal cysts presented clinical improvement with showing decreased cysts size than before.

A Hanwoo cow with a delayed gestation and abdominal distension was delivered following PGF_2α injection. There was excessive amniotic fluid, and a male calf was delivered but died immediately. The calf had no eyes and nose, and a cleft palate on the upper jaw. Gross appearance and computed tomography image showed that upper teeth were spread out on both sides due to cleft palate in the upper jaw, and lower jaw and teeth were positioned upward. There were no other brain parts except cerebellum. These findings show a rare case of hydramnios related to fetal congenital deformity in a Hanwoo cow.

Estrogen related receptor $\beta$(Esrrb)는 오르판 수용체 중 하나로 전분화능 관련유전자인 Oct4와 Nanog의 발현을 조절함으로써 줄기세포의 미분화를 유지시키고, 지속적인 자기 복제를 가능케 하는 유전자로 알려져 있다. 또한 Feng 등 (2009)은 체세포에 Oct4, Sox2와 함께 Esrrb 유전자를 함께 도입하면, 유전자가 변형된 체세포가 배아 줄기세포와 유사한 유도만능줄기세포로 리프로그래밍(reprograming)되어 진다는 결과를 보고한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 인간 ESRRB 단백질을 양수유래줄기세포 내로 직접도입하는 방법을 개발하고, 이를 통해 전분화능 관련유전자의 기능 조절을 확인하고자 하였다. 클로닝 된 인간 short-form ESRRB를 세포투과 펩타이드(cell-penetrating peptide, CPP)의 일종인 R7(아르기닌 7개)에 접합(Fusion)하였고, 합성단백질 (R7-ESRRB-His6)의 형태로 배양중인 인간 양수 유래 줄기세포에 처리하여 세포내로 도입하였다. R7-ESRRB-His6 단백질은 5시간 내에 세포막을 통과하였고, 24시간 내에 핵 내로 이동하였다. 또한 핵 내로 이동한 ESRRB 단백질은 OCT4와 NANOG 유전자의 발현을 증가시켰을 뿐만 아니라, 또 다른 전분화능 관련유전자인 SOX2의 발현도 함께 증가시킨다는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과는 세포투과 펩타이드와 유전자의 접합을 통해 생산된 R7-ESRRB-His6 합성단백질이 양수유래줄기세포내로 원활하게 도입되는 것을 확인하였고, 유전자의 변형 없이 전분화능 관련유전자의 기능을 조절할 수 있는 방법임을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 생쥐 초기배 및 부화후 체외신장에 미치는 인간 양수의 첨가효과를 조사하고자 실시하였다. 생쥐 수정란의 체외발달에 미치는 인간 양수의 적정농도를 확인하고자 기본배양액 (Whitten's medium)에 16주령의 양수 농도를 각각 달리하여 체외배양을 실시한 결과, 20%를 첨가한 구에서 가장 높은 배반포로의 발달율과 부화율을 나타내었으며, 그 이상의 농도에서는 배발달율이 저하되었다. 포유동물 수정란 체외배양시 가장 많이 사용되는 첨가제인 fetal calf serum (FCS)과 bovine serum albumin(BSA)을 첨가한 구화의 배발달 성적을 비교한 결과, 임신중기 양수를 20% 첨가한 구의 배반포로의 발달율 (92.8%)과 부화율 (75.7%)은 기본배양액에서 배양된 것보다 배반포로의 발달율 (82.8%)과 부화율 (31.3%)은 높았으나 0.3% BSA (90.5%, 70.8%)나 10% FCS 첨가구 (94.3%, 74.3%)와는 유의한 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 임신주령에 따른 양수의 첨가효과를 조사한 결과 20%의 임신말기 양수를 첨가한 구의 배반포로의 발달율 (71.9%)과 부화율 (57.3%)은 20% 임신중기 양수를 첨가한 구보다 낮았으며, 부화후 배의 체외신장은 임신중기 양수와 FCS이 첨가된 구에서는 유기되었으나, 임신말기 양수와 BSA가 첨가된 구에서는 배의 체외신장이 유기되지 않았다. 이상의 본 연구결과를 통해 임신중기 양수 내에는 배발달 촉진인자와 배의 체외신장을 유기시키는 물질이 함유되어 있어 포유동물 배의 체외배양에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있다고 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 혈장이나 양수에 있는 $\alpha$-fetoprotein (AFP)을 인식 할 수 있는 모노클로날 항체를 제조하고, 모노클로날 항체를 이용한 효소면역분석법을 개발하고자 하였다. 양수로부터 얻은 AFP를 쥐에 주사한 후 비장을 분리하여 종양세포 (Sp2/O-Ag-14)와 융합하였고, 하이브리도마 기술을 이용하여 모노클로날 항체를 제조하였다. 모노클로날 항체를 클로닝하였으며, 생성된 항체를 MabF22로 명명하였고, IgG1 중사슬과 k 경사슬의 isotype을 나타냈다. 또한 immunoblotting 방법과 ELISA로 특이도를 조사한 결과 모노클로날 항체는 AFP와만 반응하였고, 결합 친화상수는 0.8$\times$$10^{-10}$M이었다. 두 종류의 효소면역분석법 -경쟁적 또는 비경쟁적 분석 -을 이용하여 항체의 효용성을 조사하였으며, 두 방법 모두 AFP와 농도에 비례하여 반응하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 생산된 모노클로날 항체는 연구목적으로 뿐만 아니라 AFP 농도를 측정하기 위한 면역진단시약의 개발에도 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

Background: The consequences of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 on mother and fetus remain unknown due to a lack of robust evidence from prospective studies. Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on neonatal outcomes and the scope of vertical transmission. Methods: This ambispective observational study enrolled pregnant women with COVID-19 in North India from April 1 to August 31, 2020 to evaluate neonatal outcomes and the risk of vertical transmission. Results: A total of 44 neonates born to 41 COVID-19-positive mothers were evaluated. Among them, 28 patients (68.3%) (2 sets of twins) were delivered within 7 days of testing positive for COVID-19, 23 patients (56%) (2 sets of twins) were delivered by cesarean section; 13 newborns (29.5%) had low birth weight; 7 (15.9%) were preterm; and 6 (13.6%) required neonatal intensive care unit admission, reflecting an increased incidence of cesarean delivery and low birth weight but zero neonatal mortality. Samples of cord blood, placental membrane, vaginal fluid, amniotic fluid, peritoneal fluid (in case of cesarean section), and breast milk for COVID-19 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction tested negative in 22 prospective delivery cases. Nasopharyngeal swabs of 2 newborns tested positive for COVID-19: one at 24 hours and the other on day 4 of life. In the former case, biological samples were not collected as the mother was asymptomatic and her COVID-19 report was available postdelivery; hence, the source of infection remained inconclusive. In the latter case, all samples tested negative, ruling out the possibility of vertical transmission. All neonates remained asymptomatic on follow-up. Conclusion: COVID-19 does not have direct adverse effects on the fetus per se. The possibility of vertical transmission is almost negligible, although results from larger trials are required to confirm our findings.

This study was conducted to examine the viability of Korean native striped cattle (Bos namadicus Falconer, Chikso) clone embryos after embryo transfer. Chikso somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos were produced by fusion of ear skin cells derived from a female Chikso with enucleated oocytes matured in vitro for 18-24 hr. After in vitro culture of SCNT embryos for 7 to 8 days, fresh or vitrified blastocysts derived from SCNT were transferred into a uterine horn of recipient cows. Fifteen of total 43 recipients were pregnant at Day 50 and 4 recipients were maintained to term. Three IVF-derived calves and 1 clone Chikso calf were born. Pregnancy rate was higher when fresh embryos were transferred to recipients compared to vitrified embryos, but development to term was not different between both groups. The clone Chikso calf died at 5 days after birth due to the fullness of amniotic fluid in rumen and the infection of umbilical cord. The result of the present study shows that clone Chikso calf can produced from the embryo transfer of SCNT embryos, however, solution of abortion problem is necessary to improve the cloning efficiency.

Genetic amniocenteses were performed in a series of 127 patients as a routine study. Samples from the patients were cultured by in situ method, flask method or both according to the state of amniotic fluid. The overall success rate of culture was 97.6% and no culture failure was observed in the flask method. It took 5 days first of all and 8.15 days average from set-up to harvest and there were 7.2 colonies per dish in in situ method. Therefore, it is suggested that in situ method which decreased the mean culture days and made clonal analyses possible, is a clinically available and even more reliable method in parallel with flask method in prenatal diagnosis.
