  • The ovaries of Korean Native cows or heifers were obtained from an abattoir and kept on 20 to $25^{\circ}C$ and transported to laboratory within 2 hrs. The follicular oocystes were collected from 2~6mm follicles in diameter and classified into 3 grades by the morphology of cumulus cells attached. The oocytes were matured in vitro(IVM) for 24 hrs. in TCM-199 supplemented with $23{\mu}g/ml$ FSH, $10{\mu}g/ml$ LH, $1{\mu}g/ml$ estradio-17 ${\beta}$ and granulosa cells at $39^{\circ}C$ under 5% $CO_2$ in air. They were fertilized in vitro(IVF) by incubation for 12 hrs. of epididymal spermatozoa pretreated with heparin, and then the zygotes were co-cultured in vitro(IVC) with oviductal epithelial cells for 7 to 9 days. Assessment of maturation revealed that 93.0%(147/158) of grade I oocytes had expanded of cumulus cells, which was higher(p<0.05) than the 79.4%(85/107) of grade II oocytes. Compared to epididymal sperm(32.9%), the insemination with frozen and thawed sperm resulted in slightly lower(20.5%), but not significant, development to morulae and blastocysts from grade I oocytes. Co-culture of bovine IVF embryos with oviductal epithelial cells improved the development to transferable embryos significantly(38.1%), compared to co-culture with granulosa cells(20.0%). When VF bovine embryos were vitrified at blastocyst, the post-thaw survival rate was obtained higher resulf for 1 min. equilibration time(82.6%) or 2 min.(73.9%) than 3 min.(18.2%) in EFS solution.

  • This study was conducted to improve the in vitro maturation(JVM), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and in vitro developmental capacity of oocytes derived from slaughtered Korean native cattle. The recoverd oocytes, obtained from a local slaughter house, were used completely surrounded by at least 3 layers of cumulus cells in combination with a homogeneous cytoplasmic pigmentation. In vitro maturation was induced in TCM-199 or Ham's F-10 supplemented with LH(1O $\mu$g/rnl), FSH(35 $\mu$g/ml), estradiol-17$\beta$(1 $\mu$g/ml) at 39$^{\circ}C$ under 5% $CO_2$ in air for 24 hours. Sperm from caudal epididyrnis and previously matured cumulus-oocytes complexes were cultured for 24 hours in 100 $\mu$l droplets of fertilization media under paraffin oil. The zygotes were cultured with media(TCM-199 with bovine oviductal epithelial cells or CRlaa) for 7 to 10 days. The cleavage rate of IVM-IVF oocytes was significantly (P<0.05) higher following maturation using Ham's F-10 (59.9%) than TCM-199 (51.6%). Development to the blastocysts among cleaved embryos was not signficantly different between maturation media: Ham's F-10 (16.0%) and TCM-199(11.9%). However, the hatching rate was affected significantly (P<0.05) on rnaturation media as 62.9% in Ham's F-10, compared with 41.2% in TCM-199. The cleavage rate of IVM-IVF oocytes was significantly (P<0.05) higher following IVF using m-TALP medium (80.1%) than BO medium (51.6%). The percentage of in vitro developed blastocysts among cleaved embryos was not signficantly different between fertimization media: BO (11.7%) and m-TALP (17.6%). The cleavage and the developmental rate to the blastocysts after IVF in m-TALP or condition medium(CM) with or without oviduct epithelial cell monolayer(OECM) was similar(80.1% and 17.6% in m-TALP, 83.8% and 19.4% in M-TALP with OECM. 82.9% and 18.9% in CM, 87.6% and 16.0% in CM with OECM, respectively). The percentage of in vitro developed blastocysts among cleaved embryos was significantly (P<0.05) higher in TCM-199 medium co-cul tured with bovine oviduatal epithelial cell monolayers(35.2%) than CRlaa medium(1.9%). These results stggest that the most transferable IVF embryos could be produced from Ham's F-10, m-TALP and TCM-199 medium with bovine oviductal epithelial cell monolayers for IVM, IVF and IVC, respectively.

  • 발정주기와 상관없이 CIDR을 삽입하는 날에 50 mg progesterone, 2.5 mg estradiol benzoate를 근육주사하였다. CIDR 삽입 후 4, 5일에 28 AU FSH (Antorin R10)을 4일 동안 감량법으로 주사하였다. 6, 7회 FSH 주사 후 25 mg, 15 mg $PGF_2{\alpha}$를 각각 주사한 다음, CIDR는 7회 FSH 주사 후 제거하였다. 1회째 $PGF_2{\alpha}$ 주사 후 48시간에 $200{\mu}g$ GnRH를 주사하였다. 공란우는 발정확인 후 12시간 간격으로 3회 인공수정을 실시하였으며, 수정란의 채란은 발정확인 후 7일째 회수하였다. 과배란 처리된 공란우에서 회수된 총 난자수, 이식가능 수정란, 퇴행란 및 미수정란은 각각 $11.6{\pm}7.9$, $5.5{\pm}4.4$, $3.0{\pm}3.3$$2.6{\pm}4.1$개였다. 1~2산의 공란우($8.9{\pm}1.9$)보다 3~5산의 공란우($14.3{\pm}1.3$)에서 총 난자수가 유의적으로 많았다(P<0.05). 회수된 정상 수정란 수도 3~5산의 공란우($7.3{\pm}0.8$)에서 6산 이상의 공란우($3.7{\pm}1.5$)보다 유의적으로 많았다(P<0.05). 회수된 총 난자수와 정상수정란도 각각 가을($10.1{\pm}1.8$, $4.5{\pm}1.1$)과 겨울($6.3{\pm}1.8$, $3.3{\pm}1.1$)보다 여름($16.4{\pm}2.3$, $8.1{\pm}1.4$)에 유의적으로 많았다(P<0.05). 이식가능 수정란은 겨울($3.0{\pm}1.0$)보다 여름($7.6{\pm}1.3$)에서 유의적으로 많이 회수하였다(P<0.05). 결론적으로 공란우의 산차, 과배란 처리계절은 한우수정란 생산에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

  • The objective of this study was investigate the superovulation treatment and to relate concentrations of blood urea nitrogen(BUN) in Hanwoo donors. Thirty six, at random stages of the estrous cycle, received a CIDR. Four days later, the animals were superovulated with a total of 28AU FSH (Antorin, 2AU=1 ml) administered twice daily in constant doses over 4 days. On the 3th administration of FSH, CIDR was withdrawn and 25 mg $PGF_2a$ was administered. Cows were artificially inseminated twice after estrous detection at 12 hr intervals. The cows received $100\;{\mu}g$ GnRH at the time of 1st insemination. Embryos were recovered 7 or 8 days after the 1st insemination. Cows with BUN <10, 11~18 and ${\geq}$19 mg/dl had return of estrus of 34.6, 30.5 and 30.4 days respectively. Return of estrus after superovulation treatment was not significantly lower for cows with blood urea nitrogen (BUN) above 10 mg/dl than for cows with BUN below 10 mg/dl. Cows with BUN <10, 11~18 and ${\geq}$19 mg/dl had number of transferable embryos of $3.2{\pm}1.2$, $5.4{\pm}1.9$ and $4.1{\pm}2.1$ respectively.

  • This study was performed to investigate the FSH levels for superovulation procedure in Korean Native Cattle (Hanwoo). The effectiveness of 200 mg and 400 mg of FSH to initiate superovulation was examined in Hanwoo. Donors, at random stages of the estrous cycle, received a CIDR 7 days later, 200 mg FSH group was treated with 40, 30, 20, 10 mg FSH levels in declining doses twice daily by intramuscular injection fur 4 days. Also, 400 mg FSH group was treated with 80, 60, 40, 20 mg FSH levels. On the 3rd day administration of FSH, 25 mg $PGF_2$ ${\alpha}$ was administered and CIDR was withdrawn. Donors were artificially inseminated twice at 12 hr intervals. The donor cattle received 250 ${\mu}g$ GnRH at time of 1st insemination and embryos were recovered 8 days after the 1st insemination. As a results, average number of CL treated with FSH 200 mg was higher as $20.9{\pm}1.20$ than $15.8{\pm}0.63$ for donors treated with FSH 400 mg, respectively(p<0.05). Treated group of 200 mg FSH level increased (p<0.05) the number of embryos recovered per procedure compared to 400 mg FSH level ($18.2{\pm}1.18$ vs. $12.38{\pm}0.52$, respectively). When treatment of 200 mg FSH was performed, average transferable embryos/ova increased (p<0.05) to $14.1{\pm}1.12$ from $6.8{\pm}0.33$ of treated of 400 mg FSH. Group of 200 mg FSH increased (p<0.05) to $8.3{\pm}0.76$ from $2.0{\pm}0.26$ in morula stage compare to 400 mg FSH group. Mean of total early blastocyst and expanded blastocyst stage embryos was similar (p<0.05) between the 200 mg and 400 mg FSH levels group ($4.7{\pm}1.19$ vs. $2.9{\pm}0.18$ and $1.2{\pm}0.40$ vs. $1.9{\pm}0.17$). These results suggest that 200 mg FSH level-based superovulation protocol with CIDR may be effectively used fur production of superior embryos in Hanwoo. In other words, the less level of FSH may be effectively applied for Hanwoo (Korean Native Cattle), because Hanwoo was smaller body size than beef or daily cow.

  • The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of abnormal ovarian cycles after superovulation treatment of Holstein Donor Cows. CIDRs were inserted into the vaginas of twenty two head of Holstein cows, regardless of estrous cycle. Superovulation was induced using folliclar stimulating hormone (FSH). For artificial insemination, donor cows were injected with $PGF_2{\alpha}$ and estrus was checked about 48 hours after the injection. Then they were treated with 4 straws of semen 3 times, with 12-hour intervals. Embryos were collected by a non-surgical method 7 days after the first artificial insemination. The cows were considered to have resumed ovarian cyclicity on the day of ovulation if followed by regular ovarian cycles. Seventy two point seven percentage of the cows(16/22) had normal resumption of ovarian cyclicity(resumption within 40 days after superovulation), and 27.3%(6/22) had delayed resumption(resumption did not occur until>40 days after superovulation). Delayed resumption Type II(first ovulation did not occur until ${\geq}40$ days after superovulation, i.e. delayed first ovulation 13.6%) were the most common types of delayed resumptions. The mean numbers of total ova from < 10 and $10{\leq}$ of corpora lutea(CL) was $7.8{\pm}1.8$ and $12.7{\pm}2.7$, respectively. The number of transferable embryos differed between < 10 and $10{\leq}$ CL was $5.4{\pm}1.3$ and $8.1{\pm}3.4$, respectively. Four point five percentage of the cows(1/22) did not resumption their ovarian cyclicity until 60 days after superovulation treatment. Diverse researches on the superovulation treatment method that is suitable for high-producing Holstein donor cows would contribute to preventing ovarian cyclicity disorder, as well as to the early multiplication of cows with superior genes by increasing the utilization value of donor cows.

  • 본 연구에서는 OPU를 통한 체내 유래 난자를 이용한 수정란 생산 시 1개월에서 6개월까지의 연구 기간에 따른 난포 생성수, 난자 회수율, 난자 등급율, 배반포 생성률을 분석하여 공란우의 활용 기간에 관하여 조사하였다. 1. 채란 기간에 따른 난포 생성수는 1개월에서 5개월까지의 난포 생성수는 $7.78{\pm}0.57$, $9{\pm}0.68$, $6.96{\pm}0.60$, $7.18{\pm}0.83$, $6.19{\pm}0.82$개로 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 6개월째에는$2.83{\pm}0.39$개로 급격하게 줄어든 것을 알 수 있었다. 2. 채란 기간에 따른 난자 회수개수는 1개월에서 3개월까지는 $6.0{\pm}0.5$, $6.2{\pm}0.7$, $5.2{\pm}0.6$개로 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 4개월부터 6개월까지 $3.7{\pm}0.5$, $2.8{\pm}0.4$, $1.2{\pm}0.2$개로 유의적으로 적어지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 난자 회수율 또한 1개월에서 3개월까지는 76.9%, 69.3%, 75.2%로 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 4개월에서 6개월까지는 51.1%, 44.6%, 41.2%로 유의적으로 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 3. 채란 기간에 따른 난자 등급은 Grade 1, 2등급 출현율이 1개월부터 3개월까지 Grade 1은$1.8{\pm}0.3$, $2.2{\pm}0.3$, $1.9{\pm}0.3$, Grade 2는 $2.1{\pm}0.3$, $2.4{\pm}0.3$, $2.1{\pm}0.3$로 유의적으로 차이가 없었으나, 4개월, 5개월에는 Grade 1은 $1.73{\pm}0.27$, $1.14{\pm}0.33$, Grade 2는 $1.33{\pm}0.28$, $0.67{\pm}0.16$로 유의적으로 줄어들었으며, 6개월에는 Grade 1은 $0.3{\pm}0.1$, Grade 2는 $0.5{\pm}0.2$로 현저히 줄어든 것을 알 수 있었다. Grade 3과 4의 출현율은 유의적으로 차이가 없었다. 4. 채란 기간에 따른 배반포 발달율은 1개월에서 3개월까지의 배반포 발달율은 37.2%, 40.4%, 44.6%로 높은 발달율을 보이며 차이가 없었으나, 4개월째에는 24.8%, 5개월째에는 29.3%, 6개월째에는 28.6%로 급격하게 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있었다. 1회 채란 시 수정란의 생산 개수 또한 1개월에서 3개월까지는 $2.2{\pm}0.3$, $2.5{\pm}0.3$, $2.3{\pm}0.4$개로 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 4개월째부터 6개월까지는 $0.9{\pm}0.2$, $0.8{\pm}0.2$, $0.3{\pm}0.2$개로 현저히 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 약 3개월까지는 공란우의 활용이 효율적인 점과 4개월부터는 난자 회수와 그에 따른 1회 채란 시 배반포의 생성 수 또한 점차 적으로 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 공란우의 활용을 최대 3개월까지 활용하고, 교체한다면 3~4일 간격으로 1주일에 2회 OPU 방법으로 체내 난자를 채란 후 수정란을 생산하는 시스템은 1두에 3개월간 약 48개의 이식 가능한 수정란을 생산할 수 있고, 산술적으로 년간 1두당 약 200개의 이식 가능한 OPU 유래 수정란을 생산할 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 공란우를 3개월 활용 후 교체를 하는 것이 경제적이며 효율적인 방법이라고 사료된다.

  • Objective s: Chromosome aneuploidy is associated with recurrent abortion and congenital anomaly and genetic diseases occur repeatedly in the specific families. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) can prevent aneuploidy or genetic disease by selecting normal embryos before implantation and is an alternative to prenatal diagnosis. The aim of this study is to assess the outcome of PGD cycles by using FISH or PCR, and to determine the clinical usefulness and values in patients with risk of chromosomal aneuploidy or genetic disease. Materials and Methods: From 1995 to Apr. 2001, a total of 108 PGD cycles in 65 patients with poor reproductive outcome were analyzed. The indications of PGD were translocation (n=49), inversion (n=2), aneuploidy screening (n=7), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (n=5) and spinal muscular atrophy (n=2). PGD was applied due to the history of recurrent abortion, previous birth of affected child or risk of aneuploidy related to sex chromosome aneuploidy or old age. Blastomere biopsy was performed in 6$\sim$10 cell stage embryo after IVF with ICSI. In the single blastomere, chromosome aneuploidy was diagnosed by using FISH and PCR was performed for the diagnosis of exon deletion in DMD or SMA. Results: The FISH or PCR amplification was successful in 94.3% of biopsied blastomeres. The rate of transferable balanced emb ryos was 24.0% in the chromosome translocation and inversion, 57.1% for the DMD and SMA, and 28.8% for the aneuploidy screening. Overall hCG positive rate per transfer was 17.8% (18/101) and clinical pregnancy rate was 13.9% (14/101) (11 term pregnancy, 3 abortion, and 4 biochemical pregnancy). The clinical pregnancy rate of translocation and inversion was 12.9% (11/85) and abortion rate was 27.3% (3/11). In the DMD and SMA, the clinical pregnancy rate was 33.3% (3/9) and all delivered at term. The PGD results were confirmed by amniocentesis and were correct. When the embryos developed to compaction or morula, the pregnancy rate was higher (32%) than that of the cases without compaction (7.2%, p<0.01). Conclusions: PGD by using FISH or PCR is useful to get n ormal pregnancy by reducing spontaneous abortion associated with chromosome aneuploidy in the patients with structural chromosome aberration or risk of aneuploidy and can prevent genetic disease prior to implantation.
