This experiment was performed to study the effects of radioactive phosphorus($^{32}p$) on the growth of chick embryo and young chick. Radioactive phosphorus($^{32}p$) was administered into the yolk sac of chick embryo in doses of 2 uci/gm and 1 uci/gm and was administered intraperitoneally to the young chick in doses of 1 uci/gm and 0.5 uci/gm. The chick embryos were sacrificed on 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th day and the chicks were sacrificed on 1st, 3rd, 6th and 10th day after the administration and the liver, kidney, spleen, brain, eye ball and femur were weighed to observe the effects of growth inhibition on them. The results obtained were as follows. 1. A marked growth inhibitory effect was found on 8th, 9th and 10th day after the administration of $^{32}p$ in chick embryos and the same effect was found on 6 th and 10 th day after the administration in chicks. 2. The growth of the liver, kidney, spleen and femur was inhibited markedly but the brain and eye ball were not affected in chick embryos and chicks.

To investigate the changes during the differentiation of the cerebral neurons of chick embryo of tne embryogenic day (ED) 7 and 8, the ultrastructural changes in the cerebral neurons, the activity of dehydronases (LDH, MDH and SDH), protein expression profile and adenosine triphosphate concentration were analyzed. In ED 7 chick embryos, relatively large nucleus, centrally located nucleolus, evenly spread chromatin over nucleoplasm, and prominent nuclear envelope were observed. Oval-shaped mitochondria with well-developed cristae were present over entire cytoplasm. In ED 8 chick embryos, evenly spread chromatin over nucleoplasm, and prominent nuclear envelope were observed. In the cytoplasm, well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex were observed. In ED 7 chick embryos and ED 8 chick embryos, 31 polypeptide bands and 34 polypeptide bands were observed, respectively. The activities of dehydrogenases were lower in ED 7 chick embryos than in ED 8 chick embryos. LDH activity was 8.16 (ED 7) and 9.28 (ED 8), MDH activity was 7.98 (ED 7) and 10.10 (ED 8), and SDH activity was 5.49 (ED 7) and 7.14 (ED 8) respectively. The ATP concentration remained unchanged over ED 7 and 8.

Potential teratogenicity of sodium glycyrrizinate in developing chick embryo was investigated. Body length was shortened significantly by dosage related when compared to untreated and vehicle control, but there was no significant difference on body weight, hind-limb length, claw length in all of the groups.

The effect of aromatic amino acids such as phenylalaine, tryptophan and tyrosine on somitogenesis at the early stage of chick embryo has been investigated morphologically using light and electron microscopy. Micrographs of aromatic amino acid injected chick embryo showed that an incomplete somite segmentation occurred and some decremental effect on the nervous system were observed. Somites were poorly developed and their size were variable. Electron micrograph of somatic cells from aromatic amino acid injected chick embryo showed that chromatins were coagulated, some of mitochondria were damaged, and nucleus were transformed considerably in some cases. The protein and nucleic acid levels and some enzyme activities of 15-day chick embryo which received the injection of 1mg of aromatic amino acid in 0.05 ml of saline 24 hours after the incubation were analyzed. Protein, DNA and RNA levels of the test group were not lowered significantly but the activities of enzymes for basic metabolism, such as lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase were considerably lowered as compared with those of control. From the present expeerimental results, it was tentatively suggested that the administration of amino acid might slow down the yolk granule degradation probably by feed back mechanism resulting in the disturbance of amino acid balance in the cell, which might give rise to impair normal metabolic pattern leading to abnormal somitogenesis to chick embryo at very early stage of development.

Objective : Chiari II malformation (CM II) is still the main cause of severe morbidity and mortality in children with open neural tube defects (ONTDs). The goal of this study was to validate a CM II model in late-stage chick embryos with surgically induced ONTDs. Methods : To make the chick embryo model of ONTD, their neural tubes were opened for a length of 5-6 somites at the thoracic level in Hamburger and Hamilton stage 18 chick embryos (n=150). They were reincubated in ovo up to a total age of 17-21 days. A total of 19 embryos survived and were assigned to either the postoperative day (POD) 14-15 group (n=6) or the POD 17-18 group (n=13). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathologic findings of embryo heads with spinal ONTDs were compared with age-matched normal chick embryos. Results : The chick embryos with ONTDs demonstrated definite and constant structural changes, such as downward displacement of the cerebellum to just above the foramen magnum and narrow and small cerebrospinal fluid spaces in the crowded small posterior fossa. These morphologic features were more prominent in the POD 17-18 group than in the POD 14-15 group. Conclusion : This is the first description of CM II with spinal ONTD in a late-stage chick embryo model with MRI and histopathological analysis. The morphological changes of the posterior fossa in this study mimic those of CM II associated with spinal ONTD in humans. This model will facilitate investigation of the pathogenesis of CM II.

Srobic Acid 투여군은 무처치대조군에 비하여 embryo의 체장과 체중이 용량의존적으로 증가를 나타내었는데 체장에 있어서는 1.0ml/egg 및 5.0ml/egg 투여군이, 체중에 있어서는 0.5ml/egg 투여군에서 유의성이 있었다. 2. 2.5ml/egg 수준으로 BHT를 투여한 실험군은 무처치대조군 및 용매대조군에 비하여 체중, 체장, 전지 및 후지에 있어서 유의성 있는 감소를 나타내었다. 3. Sorbic acid 투여군의 기형발생은 뚜렷한 것은 나타나지 않았으나 1.0ml/egg 투여군에서는 hydrocephalus를 가지고 있는 embryo를 볼수 있었다. 4.BHT 투여군의 기형발생률은 무처치 대조군에 비하여 유의성은 없었으나 전지이상 , 혈종 및 hyrocephalus 가 나타났다.

In this study, characteristics of chick primordial germ cells (PGCs), which is the founder cell of the germline, and gonadal development of the chick embryo between 12hrs and 6 day of incubation were investigated by transverse serial sections of chick embryos under the light microscopic observation. In embryo stage 20 (3 day of incubation), there are a lot of PGCs at the mesenchym, which were moving to the thickened epithelium (gonadal ridge). The PGCs arrive at both right and left gonad primordial in equal number prior to stage 24 (4 day of incubation), but in the following stages, the distribution of the PGCs became asymmetrical. More PGCs colonized the left than the right gonad, but the reason for the unequal distribution of PGCs is uncertain. The PGCs have mostly settled in the gonadal ridge (GR) at 6 day embryo. This study was conducted to investigate characteristics of the PGC migration and gonadal formation and observe the best condition for PGC isolation, culture and to attempt the possibility of the production for transgenic germline chimeras with manipulated PGCs.

We have examined alcohol-induced malformation of chick embryo. Alcohol was considered to induce the malformation of developing embryo and to have bad effects on embryonic stage. We injected alcohol into air sac on day 4 of incubation. Ten ％ alcohol-treated group showed a little decrease on their body length compared to the untreated group and distilled water-treated group. Thirty ％ alcohol-treated group showed significant decrease on their body length compared to the untreated group and 10％ ethanol treated group. In addition, we have observed malformation of eyeballs and bills. These results indicate that alcohol affects chicken developments and brings on malformation of developing stage.
