  • 본 연구는 체외수정에 의해 생산된 생쥐 배반포기배를 vitrification 방법으로 동결보존하였을때 높은 생존율을 얻기 위한 적정조건을 검토하고자 실시하였다. 배반포기배를 생산하기 위하여, B6CBA F1 (C57BL/6, (표현불가)${\times}CBA/N$, (표현불가)) 계통의 생쥐 미수정란에 $1{\times}10^6$ spermatozoa/ml 농도의 정자로서 수정을 유도하였으며, 이후 $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$배양기내에서 96시간동안 체외배양하였다. 배양 4일째의 배반포기배는 발달상태에 따라 early, middle 그리고 hatching blastocysts로 구분하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 동결보존액은 30% Ficoll과 0.5mol의 sucrose가 첨가된 mDPBS 용액에 40%의 ethylene glycol를 첨가한 EFS 40 (Zhu et al., 1993) 이었고, 수정란은 $25^{\circ}C$의 상온에서 먼저 20% ethylene glycol에 노출된 후 EFS 40 용액으로 옮겨 액체질소에 침지하는 2단계 동결법에 의해 동결보존되었으며, 급속융해하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 체외수정율과 배양 4일째 배반포기까지의 배발달율은 각각 89.4%와 86.1%였다. 2. 20% ethylene glycol에서 5분간 평형된 후 EFS 40 용액에 냉동보존된 후 융해된 난자의 생존율은 20% ethylene glycol에 0, 1, 3분간 평형된 난자의 생존율에 비해 유의하게 높았다. 3. 배반포기배를 20% ethylene glycol에서 5분간, EFS 40 용액에 1분간 차례로 노출한 다음 체와배양하였던 바, 배양 24시간째 생존율은 $82.9%{\sim}88.4%$ 였다. 본 연구 결과, 체외수정, 배양된 생쥐 배반포기배는 20% ethylene glycol과 EFS40에 대한 노출만으로는 난자의 생존성에 나쁜 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 미루어 보아 배반포기배의 초자화 동결이 가능함을 시사하였다. 따라서 동결 융해 후 높은 생존율은 상온에서 난자를 2단계 즉, 20% ethylene glycol에 5분간 평형시킨 후 EFS 40 용액에 노출하여 1분내에 LN2에 직접 침지하는 간편한 동결방법으로 얻을 수 있었다.

  • The tolerance evaluation for abalone Haliotis discus hannai embryos was performed using different concentrations of cryoprotective agents (CPAs): dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol added to 0.2 M sucrose, respectively. 4-cell, trochophore and veliger were exposed in each CPA with different concentration for 10, 20 and 30 minutes of immersion time. Developmental rates were increased with decreased concentration of every CPA and decreased immersion time, and differed from types of CPA. Developmental rates of veliger in all the CPAs were higher than those of 4-cell and trochophore. The developmental rates and larval activity indices in ethylene glycol were comparatively higher than those in other CPAs and the effective CPA and its concentration for the cryopreservation of the abalone embryos was suggested as 2.0 M ethylene glycol with equilibration time of 30 minutes.

  • Mistaking pink colored thermal oil for grape wine, a victim drank the oil to death which was analyzed to contain 39% of ethylene glycol. Thermal oil could be used for heat transfer to prevent the malfunction due to the high pressure in the boiler operated at high temperature when using water. Main component of thermal oil is known to be mineral oil or ethylene glycol. From the blood and other tissue of the victim from autopsy, ethylene glycol and its metabolite were simultaneously analyzed by GC/MS after extraction under acidic condition with acetonitrile followed by derivatization with BSTFA. About 0.2 g of the specimens were pretreated with 50 uL of 0.5 M HCl solution to keep acidic condition, then dehydrated with anhydrous sodium sulfate followed by concentration under nitrogen stream. Ethylene glycol and glycolic acid concentration in blood was measured to be $2,755\;{\mu}g/mL$ and $174\;{\mu}g/mL$ respectively. In other specimen, the concentration of ethylene glycol and glycolic acid was $860\;{\mu}g/g\sim1,290\;{\mu}g/g$ and $93\;{\mu}g/g\sim134\;{\mu}g/g$. Especially, crystal appeared in kidney which was supposed xalate from the metabolite of ethylene glycol.

  • An ultrasonic-mediated assisted stepwise method has been developed for depositing transparent ZnO films from aqueous solution. Rinsing in low ethylene glycol temperature was easy to produce intermediate phase of $Zn(OH)_2$, rinsing in $120^{\circ}C$ ethylene glycol was observed the diffraction peak of intermediate $Zn(OH)_2$ in early report, the rinsing temperature plays an important role in the process of $Zn(OH)_2$ phase transformed to ZnO, high rinsing temperature actually improved the intermediate phase. However, the effect of rinsing on the intermediate phase is yet to be understood clearly. The effect of different rinsing procedures, involving either of or a combination of successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) and ultrasonic-assisted rinsing, prior to hydrolysis in ethylene glycol was found to improve the occurrence $Zn(OH)_2$ in ZnO thin films. In the zinc complex ($[Zn(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$) solution, excess ($[Zn(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$) absorbed in glass substrate transformed incompletely to ZnO and exist as $Zn(OH)_2$ phase in thin films. In films deposited at low temperature, rinsing procedure is applied to improve excess $Zn(OH)_2$ and obtain smoother transparent thin films.

  • A 9-month-old, intact female mixed dog was referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Gyeongsang National University with symmetrically enlarged and protruded upper jaw. The patient was diagnosed as acute renal failure due to ethylene glycol poisoning and was treated for 1 month in a local animal hospital. In spite of treatment, the patient proceeded to chronic renal failure. Also, the patient's upper jaw begun to enlarge continuously. To evaluate this upper jaw, radiographic examination was performed. Skull radiographs revealed thickening of maxilla, decreased bone opacity, cortical thinning, loss of lamina dura and periodontal space in the maxilla. Diagnosis of rubber jaw syndrome is based on clinicial signs, radiographic findings and laboratory evidence of chronic renal failure due to ethylene glycol poisoning.

  • This study presents a coolant density calculation device and its corresponding method by using a mass flowmeter and the LabVIEW program. The method can be easily measured with a mixture of coolant and by calculating the percentage of ethylene-glycol without additional investment. The cooling water is very important in a vehicle to protect the engine, and the cooling performance is affected by the mixture concentration and coolant density. The coolant density calculation device measures the mixed concentration in the anti-freeze cooling mixture made from distilled water and ethylene-glycol in real time with the mass flowmeter that is commonly attached to the radiator or heater core. The calculation program for the mixture concentration percentage was developed using the LabVIEW software. The correlation between experimental results and the calculation was conducted for a range of temperature from 40 to $90^{\circ}C$ and by varying the mixture ratio of distilled water and ethylene-glycol. As a result, the anti-freeze coolant concentration in the volume percentage is able to monitor the coolant density in a timely basis by implementing a mixture concentration calculation program without the need for additional equipment investment. The results of the calculation for the mixture concentration level show a maximum 2.7% deviation compared to the experimental results.

  • The aim of this study is to prepare biodegradable microspheres without use of any kind of surfactants or emulsifiers for a novel sustained delivery carriers of protein drugs. Poly(e-caprolactone)/poly(ethylene glycol)/poly(e-caprolactone) (CEC) triblock copolymer was synthesized by ring-opening of e-caprolactone with dihydroxy poly(ethylene glycol) and was used to make surfactant-free microspheres.
