이매패류의 성은 자웅이체와 자웅동체로 구분되며, 자웅이체는 동시자웅동체와 비동시자웅동체로 나누어진다. 비동시자웅동체는 계절에 따른 성의 전환을 의미한다. 일반적으로 자웅이체 이매패류의 경우 형태학적 성으로 표현되는 암, 수는 개체의 생활사 가운데 일정한 한 시기에 국한된 것이다. 개체의 성을 정확히 확인하기 위해서는 성을 표지한 후, 생활사 동안 성의 변화를 연속적으로 추적해야 한다. 이매패류에서 성전환과 비동시자웅동체는 굴과, 가리비과, 백합과 및 돌조개과 등의 이매패류에서 보고되고 있다. 이들 연구의 대부분은 동일 개체군에서 연령에 따른 성비의 변화를 증거로 이러한 결론에 도달하게 되었다. 비동시자웅동체 이매패류에서 성의 변화는 보통 방란, 방정 후 생식소의 비활성기에 일어난다. 이매패류에서 성결정과 성의 변화에는 유전적 요인과 환경적 요인 두 가지가 관여하지만, 이에 관한 이들의 영향에 관해서는 세부적인 연구가 필요하다.

To determine whether hormone analysis of amniotic fluid could be used for accurate determination of fetal sex, we measured testosterone(T) and follicle-stimulating hormone in 19 amniotic fluid samples. The mean T in amniotic fluid of 8 women earring male fetuses was 310 pg. per milliliter and of 11 women earring female fetuses was 150 pg. per milliliter (P<0.05${\ast}$). The mean amniotic fluid FSH of 1.16 mI.U. per milliliter for 7 women with male fetuses was over trifold lower than that for subjects with female fetuses. The mean amniotic fluid FSH of female fetuses was 3.85 mI.U. per milliliter (P<0.01${\ast}$) Measurement of T & FSH in amniotic fluid may be an adjunct method for fetal sex determination.

본 연구의 결과에서 악간부 형태 비교법이 비교적 단순한 방법으로서 빠른 시간내 많은 수의 십자매암수 구별을 할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나, 그 확률이 평균 암수비율과 비슷하여 이용성에 있어서는 추가적인 방법이 연구되어야할 것으로 사료된다. 다만 이 방법이 농가 관행 구별법보다 정확도가 약간 개선된 경향을 보였다는 것은 형태적으로 구별할 수 있는 가능성을 보여준 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 악간부 형태비교 외에 추가적인 형태적 차이를 비교 연구하여 적용하면 십자매 암수 구별에 정확도가 크게 개선될 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: The mastoid region is ideal for studying sexual dimorphism due to its anatomical position at the base of the skull. This study aimed to determine sex in the Iranian population based on measurements of the mastoid process using different data mining algorithms. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 190 3-dimensional cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images of 105 women and 85 men between the ages of 18 and 70 years. On each CBCT scan, the following 9 landmarks were measured: the distance between the porion and the mastoidale; the mastoid length, height, and width; the distance between the mastoidale and the mastoid incision; the intermastoid distance (IMD); the distance between the lowest point of the mastoid triangle and the most prominent convex surface of the mastoid (MF); the distance between the most prominent convex mastoid point (IMSLD); and the intersecting angle drawn from the most prominent right and left mastoid point (MMCA). Several predictive models were constructed and their accuracy was compared using cross-validation. Results: The results of the t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the sexes in all variables except MF and MMCA. The random forest model, with an accuracy of 97.0%, had the best performance in predicting sex. The IMSLD and IMD made the largest contributions to predicting sex, while the MMCA variable had the least significant role. Conclusion: These results show the possibility of developing an accurate tool using data mining algorithms for sex determination in the forensic framework.

Recently, in many reptiles (14 genera of turtles in five families), common characteristics of incubation temperatures are known to determine the sexes of hatchlings in many species of turtles, including the map turtles, painted turtles and snapping turtles, emys turtle, etc. According to many researcher's reports, in general, incubation at $25^{\circ}C$ (cooler temperatures) produces all or mostly males, however, incubation at $31^{\circ}C$ (higher temperatures) or higher produces all or mostly females. Exceptionally, even cooler temperature ($20^{\circ}C$) produce females, they produced all or mostly females. Accordingly, it is well-known that incubation temperature is the sex determining agent in these turtles. However, this paper presents study of the sex ratio and nest ecology in natural spawning nest: Observations on hatching sex ratios of eggs collected from natural nests of T. sinensis are similar to a previous report of the same genus Trionyx in the soft-shelled turtles. However, this genus (or species) showed some different phenomena to other kinds of turtles such as various kinds turtles mentioned above. After collection of naturally spawned eggs (17 eggs of T. sisnensis) on the natural nests, a laboratory experiment by the constant incubation temperatures was conducted with natural fluctuating soil temperatures in the natural nest with the soft-shelled turtle, T. sinensis. And also laboratory experiments were conducted using constant incubation temperatures of $25^{\circ}C$ (cooler temp.) and $30^{\circ}C$ (higher temp.) with the turtle, T. sinensis. Exceptionally, it was confirmed that the first and second incubation temperatures can't control sex-determination in the freshwater soft-shelled turtle, T. sinensis. The sex ratio approximated 1:1 (${\chi}^2=0.06$, P>0.05 (the Ist experiment). And the sex ratio approximated 1:1 independently of incubation temperature (${\chi}^2=0.33$, P>0.05 (the 2nd experiment). Consequently, temperature has no effect on sex determination in the genus Trionyx in a soft-shelled turtle.

Sex-sorting of sperm is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) used by the livestock industry for the mass production of animals of a desired sex. The standard method for sorting sperm is the detection of DNA content differences between X and Y chromosome-bearing sperm by flow cytometry. However, this method has variable efficiency and therefore requires verification by a second method. We have developed a sex determination method based on quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) of the porcine amelogenin (AMEL) gene. The AMEL gene is present on both the X and the Y chromosome, but the length and sequence of its noncoding regions differ between the X and Y chromosomes. By measuring the threshold cycle (Ct) of qPCR, we were able to calculate the relative frequency of X chromosome. Two sets of AMEL primers were used in these studies. One set (AME) targeted AMEL gene sequences present in both X and Y chromosome, but produced PCR products of different lengths for each chromosome. The other set (AXR) bound to AMEL gene sequences present on the X chromosome but absent esholthe Y-chromosome. Relative product levels were calculated by normalizing the AXR fluorescence to the AME fluorescence. The AMEL method accurately predicted the sex ratios of boar sperm, demonstrating that it has potential value as a sex determination method.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate possible differences in the location of the inferior alveolar canal in male and female Egyptians. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional retrospective study involved the evaluation of 210 CBCT scans of Egyptian individuals (18-70 years old). The inferior alveolar canal was localized by measuring 8 linear dimensions: 2 for the vertical localization of the mental foramen (superior and inferior to the mental foramen), 4 at the first molar bifurcation for the vertical and horizontal localization of the inferior alveolar canal (superior, inferior, buccal, and lingual to the inferior alveolar canal), and 2 for the horizontal localization of the mandibular foramen (anterior and posterior to the mandibular foramen). The measurements were statistically analyzed via comparative analysis, stepwise logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: Six of the 8 measured distances differed to a statistically significant extent between the sexes. Regression analysis suggested a logistic function with a concordance index of 84%. The diagnostic accuracy capabilities of the linear measurements as sex predictors were calculated using ROC analysis, and the 6 best predictors for sex determination were selected and ranked from highest to lowest predictive power. Moreover, combining these 6 predictors increased the predictive power to 84%. Conclusion: The location of the inferior alveolar canal in the Egyptian population varies significantly by sex; accordingly, this anatomic landmark could be used as a reliable indicator of sexual dimorphism.

The author studied to determine the sex and age of 8 ancient human skeletal remains, which had excavated from ancient tombs located in Yeanri, Kimhae. Some kinds of personal identification methods their skulls and teeth were used for this study and the results were obtained as follows : 1. Sex determination was possible in ancient teeth from 4th to 5th century, using detection of X-Y homologous amelogenin gene by polymerase chain reaction. 2. DNA analysis proved that the materials examined were all male, but which always did not coincide with the results from other methods for sex determination including comparison of sexual differentiation of cranium and teeth and use of discriminant functions in the dental measurement. 3. There was little difference of the estimated ages between the methods by regression of pulp cavity and attrition in teeth. The ages from these two methods always did not coincide with ones from evaluation closure of cranial and palatal sutures. 4. Sex and age of the materials were determined as follows ; $\cdot$ Y9 was estimated to be male in early sixties. $\cdot$ Yl2 was estimated to be male in late twenties to early thirties. $\cdot$ Y37 was estimated to be male in early forties. $\cdot$ Y70 was estimated to be male in early sixties. $\cdot$ Y87 was estimated to be male in late forties. $\cdot$ Y109 was estimated to be male in early forties. $\cdot$ Yl29 was estimated to be male in late thirties to early forties. $\cdot$ Yl42 was estimated to be male in late fifties to early sixties.
