Bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes were recovered from ovaries at a slaughter and then divided into five groups: control group(unvitrified oocytes), 0 hr. group(composed of oocytes vitrified before the onset of maturation) and 10, 14, and 20 hrs groups(vitrified respectively at 10, 14 and 20 hrs after the onset of maturation). The oocytes remained vitrified for 24 hrs, and then were thawed in 30℃ water bath. Survival and cleavage rates were defined as development rate on in vitro culture and stained with aceto-orcein or FDA test.

The present study was undertaken to clarify the role of calcium ion as a factor for the maturation of follicle-enclosed mouse oocytes. Follicles were isolated with two sharp needles under a stereomicroscope from mouse(ICR) ovaries which were treated PMSG 5 IU 45 hours previously. Isolated follicles were cultured for 14-16 hours in an organ culture system at $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ in air and in a 100% humidified incubator by treatment of hCG, EDTA and $^{45}Ca^{++}$. Culture medium was Modified Hank's Balanced Salt Sol. (MHBS) and addition of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) was made into two doses level 0.4 IU and 0.8IU from the stock sol. and also $^{45}Ca^{++}$ was treated in the culture medium. To explain the role of calcium, calcium chelating agent EDTA was treated to the culture of the mouse follicle-enclosed oocytes. Two observations were made in the present study; nucleus phase and $^{45}Ca^{++}$ uptake into the oocyte. HCG induced oocyte maturation in the follicle about two folds as much as the control group, whereas there is no difference in oocyte maturation between 0.4 IU and 0.8 IU of hCG. Optimum level of hCG seems to be 0.4 IU/ml in the mouse follicle culture. HCG stimulated $^{45}Ca^{++}$ uptake into the oocyte of the follicles by two folds. $^{45}Ca^{++}$ uptake in the control group is about 2.5 folds in comparison of the EDTA(1.71mM) treated group. However, calcium uptake in the EDTA treated groups tends to increase depending on the decrease of EDTA concentration. These observations suggest that firstly, hCG stimulates maturation of the oocyte of the follicle, secondly, $Ca^{++}$ influx is induced by hCG and thirdly, $Ca^{++}$ influx by the treatment of EDTA decreases as a dosage-dependent process. This $Ca^{++}$ uptake may take place by the changes of permeability which was induced by hCG treatment. That is, $Ca^{++}$ influx may trigger the resumption of oocyte maturation. It is further necessary in the future study how this $Ca^{++}$ uptake is induced by hCG and increases permeability of the follicle and oocyte.

This study investigated the effects of recombinant eel gonadotropin hormone (rJeGTH) produced in silkworms, with and without a carboxyl-terminal peptide from equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG), on the induction of sexual maturation in female eels Anguilla japonica. Experiments were conducted both in vivo and in vitro. In in vitro trials, germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) induction did not significantly differ between rJeFSH and $rJeFSH{\cdot}eCG$ treatments and the control group. However, previous studies did find that rJeLH and $rJeLH{\cdot}eCG$ treatments induced GVBD in female eels. Our in vitro exploration of $estradiol-17{\beta}$ ($E_2$) levels in immature ovarian tissues revealed significantly higher $E_2$ levels in the group treated with $rJeFSH{\cdot}eCG$ $1{\mu}g/mL$ than in the control group. In contrast, the in vivo experiments showed no effect of recombinant hormones on the sexual maturation of feminized eels. Previous studies and our own in vitro results have clearly shown that rJeGTH and $rJeGTH{\cdot}eCG$ have a positive effect on the sexual maturation of feminized eels. To develop the activity of rJeGTH in vivo, further studies should confirm circulation time and activity of these hormones in eels' bloodstream, modify the structure of the recombinant gene, and implement additional glycosylation.

Objective : To identify and investigate differences in spinal fusion between the normal and osteopenic spine in a rat model. Methods : Female Sprague Dawley rats underwent either an ovariectomy (OVX) or sham operation and were randomized into two groups: non-OVX group and OVX group. Eight weeks after OVX, unilateral lumbar spinal fusion was performed using autologous iliac bone. Bone density (BD) was measured 2 days and 8 weeks after fusion surgery. Microcomputed tomography was used to evaluate the process of bone fusion every two weeks for 8 weeks after fusion surgery. The fusion rate, fusion process, and bone volume parameters of fusion bed were compared between the two groups. Results : BD was significantly higher in the non-OVX group than in the OVX group 2 days and 8 weeks after fusion surgery. The fusion rate in the non-OVX group was higher than that in the OVX group 8 weeks after surgery (p=0.044). The bony connection of bone fragments with transverse processes and bone formation between transverse processes in non-OVX group were significantly superior to those of OVX group from 6 weeks after fusion surgery. The compactness and bone maturation of fusion bed in non-OVX were prominent compared with the non-OVX group. Conclusion : The fusion rate in OVX group was inferior to non-OVX group at late stage after fusion surgery. Bone maturation of fusion bed in the OVX group was inferior compared with the non-OVX group. Fusion enhancement strategies at early stage may be needed to patients with osteoporosis who need spine fusion surgery.

본 연구는 소의 미성숙 난포란의 체외성숙시 ${\beta}-mercaptoethanol({\beta}-ME)$의 첨가가 체외성숙, 체외수정 후 웅성전핵의 형성 및 세포질 내의 GSH 수준에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 체외성숙시 $25\;{\mu}M$과 $50\;{\mu}M$의 ${\beta}-ME$를 첨가한 경우 대조구에 비하여 성숙율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 모든 실험구에 있어서 12시간 체외성숙보다 24시간 체외성숙에서 높은 성숙율을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 체외수정 후 웅성전핵 형성에 있어서는 $25\;{\mu}M$와 $50\;{\mu}M$ 농도의 ${\beta}-ME$ 첨가구에서 대조구에 비하여 높게 나타났으나(p<0.05), $25\;{\mu}M$과 $50\;{\mu}M$ 농도구와의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. GSH의 수준은 체외성숙 후 $50\;{\mu}M$의 ${\beta}-ME$ 첨가구가 다른 처리구에 비교하여 높게 나타났으며(p<0.05), 체외수정 후 웅성전핵이 형성된 다음 세포질 내 GSH 수준 역시 $50\;{\mu}M$의 ${\beta}-ME$ 첨가구에서 가장 높은 결과를 나타냈다(p<0.05).

인위적인 가온만으로도 새꼬막의 성숙 및 정상적인 난 발생이 이루어지는지 알아보기 위해 생존율, 성비, 비만도, 생식소 발달빈도, 생식소지수, 수정률, 부화율 및 D형 유생까지의 발생소요시간을 조사하였다. 생존율은 대조구에 비해 가온구에서 낮았으며, 성비는 암컷의 비율이 높았다. 비만도는 대조구와 가온구가 유의한 차이를 보이는 가운데 수온 $17^{\circ}C$ 이상부터 증가폭이 높게 나타났다. 생식소발달빈도는 암 수 모두 대조구의 경우 발달이 느렸으며, 가온구는 수온 $20^{\circ}C$인 사육 21일부터 28일 사이에 성숙기에 도달한 개체들이 80%이상 관찰되었다. 생식소지수는 대조구에 비해 수온이 높을수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 새꼬막의 수정률은 $82.17{\pm}3.55%$ 였으며, 부화율은 $63.57{\pm}2.36%$로 나타났다. D형 유생의 발생소요시간은 약 15시간으로 나타났다.

The present study demonstrates the changes in body weight (BW) and plasma sex steroid hormone profiles during artificial maturation induced by human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) or salmon pituitary extract (SPE) injections in cultured eel, Anguilla japonica, kept in seawater for 3 months. In the weekly SPE-injected female group, BW was relatively stable during vitellogenesis. Following induction of vitellogenesis, females exhibited a rapid increase of BW, and the oocytes were observed to be in the migratory nucleus stage at the end of the experiment. Plasma testosterone (T) and $estradiol-17{\beta}$ ($E_2$) levels increased slightly during vitellogenesis and peaked at an average of 5.82 ng/mL and 4.76 ng/mL, respectively, at the end of the experiment. In the weekly control and HCG-injected female groups, BW slowly decreased during the experimental period, and the oocytes of the two groups were observed to be at the primary yolk globule stage. In the weekly HCG-injected female group, plasma T and $E_2$ levels increased slightly during vitellogenesis and decreased afterward. In the control female group, however, plasma T and $E_2$ levels were not altered during the experimental period. Furthermore, plasma $17{\alpha},20{\beta}-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one$ (DHP) was not detected in all experimental groups. Fertility and hatching rates of SPE-injected females were significantly higher in those that ovulated 15 h after DHP injection than 18 h. These results indicate that long rearing in seawater increases responsiveness to SPE in ovarian maturation of the Japanese eel, resulting in shortened period from completion of vitellogenesis by sex steroid hormone production.
