Objective: This study was carried out to compare the effects of the stepwise exposure treatments on the morphological normality, fertilization and blastocyst formation rate of the frozen-thawed mouse mature oocytes by vitrification or ultra-rapid freezing and to use as a fundamental data for the cryopreservation of human oocytes. Materials and Methods: The morphological normality and fertilization rates of the vitrified and ultra-rapid frozen mouse mature oocytes after three-stepwise exposure treatments (1step, 3step and 5step) were observed. After choosing the 3step exposure treatment groups, we observed the morphological normality and fertilization, blastocyst formation rate of the vitrified and ultra-rapid frozen mouse mature oocytes. Results: The morphological normality and fertilization rates of the vitrified mouse mature oocytes after three-stepwise exposure treatments (1step, 3step and 5step) were 75%, 85%, 88% and 58%, 61 %, 54% respectively. There were no significant differences among treatments(p>0.05). The morphological normality and fertilization rate of the control was 92% and 65%. There were no significant differences in fertilization rate among control and treatments (p>0.05). The morphological normality and fertilization rates of the ultra-rapid frozen mouse mature oocytes after three-stepwise exposure treatments (1step, 3step and 5step) were 83%, 83%, 84% and 75%, 63%, 56% respectively. There were no significant differences among treatments (p>0.05). The morphological normality and fertilization rate of the control was 95% and 67%. There were no significant differences among control and treatments (p>0.05). The morphological normality and fertilization rate of the vitrified or ultra-rapid frozen mouse mature oocytes after 3step exposure treatment were 69% and 75%, respectively. The blastocyst formation rate was 60% and 57%. The results did not differ significantly between vitrification and ultra-rapid freezing (p>0.05). Conclusion: As known in the above results, there were no significant differences in the fertilization and blastocyst formation rate of the frozen-thawed mouse mature oocytes by vitrification or ultra-rapid freezing among the control and treatments. It is suggested that vitrification and ultra-rapid freezing method were effective for the cryopreservation of mouse mature oocytes.

This study investigated the effects of artificial supercooling followed by still air freezing (SSF) on the qualities of pork loin. The qualities of pork frozen by SSF were compared with the fresh control (CT, stored at 4℃ for 24 h), slow freezing (SAF, still air freezing) and rapid freezing (EIF, ethanol immersion freezing) treatments. Compared with no supercooling phenomena of SAF and EIF, the extent of supercooling obtained by SSF treatment was 1.4℃. Despite that SSF was conducted with the same method with SAF, application of artificial supercooling accelerated the phase transition (traverse from -0.6℃ to -5℃) from 3.07 h (SAF) to 2.23 h (SSF). The observation of a microstructure indicated that the SSF prevented tissue damage caused by ice crystallization and maintained the structural integrity. The estimated quality parameters reflected that SSF exhibited superior meat quality compared with slow freezing (SAF). SSF showed better water-holding capacity (lower thawing loss, cooking loss and expressible moisture) and tenderness than SAF, and these quality parameters of SSF were not significantly different with ultra-fast freezing treatment (EIF). Consequently, the results demonstrated that the generation of supercooling followed by conventional freezing potentially had the advantage of minimizing the quality deterioration caused by the slow freezing of meat.

This paper reviews the most important steps that have generated consistent progress in principles and developmental progress of embryo cryopreservation, and also study on freezing procedure and its application by conventional method and current improved method for freezing procedure and its appilcation of embryo cryopreservation in farm animals. Four were of particular interest: 1.The transport of water across the ccli membrane (zona pellucida) during freezing and thawing accordinglyplays a role in determing whether the celi survives. This movement of water is controlied mainly by extracellular phase changes and by the nature and concentration of any cryoprotective agent present. Therates of cooling, freezing and warming, and the intervals over which they are applied are further decisi've factors in determining whether a cryopreservation procedure allows survival after thawing. 2.The first successful deep freezing experiments with sheep morula and blastocysts during the seventies were based on the early procedures used for mouse embryos.Current research during the eighties is developed with the aim of simplifying and improving current procedures such as one-step dilution and rapid or ultra-rapid cooling by using the model of laboratory animals. 3.The conventional method for the embryo cryopreservation is described. An alternative to this method which may result in high survival and also in reducing of the freezing and thawing time is done by combing a permeable cryoprotectant such as glycerol, DMSO or propanediol and a non-permeable compound such as sucrose, trehalose, raffinose or lactose. 4.Finally a different approach to the preservation of embryos, named vitrification, is introduced. This procedure depends upon the ability of concentrated solutions of cryoprotective agents such as glycerol and propanediol to supercool to very low temperature (-196$^{\circ}C$) during rapid cooling before solidifying without formation of ice. However, more complete data are necessary for successful vitrification of blastocysts.

본 연구는 체외에서 성숙된 소 미수정란을 electron microscope grid와 동해제인 EFS30을 이용하여 초급속 동결하였을 때 정상적인 배 발달의 유도 가능성 여부를 조사하고 동해제 및 동결방법의 유해성 여부를 indirect immunocytochemistry방법으로 확인하고자 실시하였다. 동해제는 30% ethylene glycol, 0.5 M sucrose, 18% ficoll과 10% FBS가 들어 있는 PBS로 된 EFS30을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 동해제와 동결과정이 난자의 microtubule, microfilament 및 chromatin의 형태에 미치는 영향을 indirect immunocytochemistry방법으로 조사하였던 바, 동해제 노출 뿐 아니라 동결에 의해서도 대조군과 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 초급속 동결이 소 미수정란의 체외수정에 미치는 영향을 검토했을 때, 총 정자침투율(96.7%, 90.0%), 정상 자응전핵 형성율(74.6%, 68.9%)과 난자당 정자수(1.50, 1.44)가 동결군과 대조군에 있어서 차이는 볼 수 없었다. 또한, 초급속 동결-융해 후의 체외발달능을 조사했던 경우, 85.5%의 높은 난자 생존율과 74.5%의 난할율, 그리고 31.4%의 배반포 형성율을 얻었다. 이러한 결과는 난자의 생존율을 제외한 수정율과 배반포 형성율에 있어서 대조군(76.0%, 34.6%)과 노출군(77.9%, 33.0%)의 결과와 매우 유사한 것이었다. 이와 더불어, 각 처리군에서 얻어진 배반포기배를 Hoechst 염색방법으로 총세포수를 조사하였을 때도 그 차이는 확인할 수 없었다. 따라서 체외에서 성숙된 소 미수정란은 EM grid와 EFS30 동결액을 이용한 초급속 동결방법으로 동결하였을 때 정상적인 배발달을 유도할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.(收量)은 양공시두부(兩供試頭部) 모두 괴근장(塊根長)과 정(正)의 상관(相關)이, 분기수(分岐數)와는 부(負)의 상관(相關)이있었다.(發芽率)이 98.1%이던 것이 68.8%로 감소(減少)하였다. 3. 온도변화(溫度變化)에 따른 수수의 발아소요일수(發芽所要日數)는 12일(日)($15/10^{\circ}C$), 6일(日)($25/20^{\circ}C$) 및 3일(日)($40/35^{\circ}C$)로 온도(溫度)가 상승(上昇)함에 따라 비례적(比例的)으로 단축(短縮)되었다. 옥수수 수는 16일(日), 7일(日) 및 3일(日)이 소요(所要)되었다.量)은 $24.6{\sim}36.7%$로서 건엽중(乾葉中)의 함량(含量)보다 월등히 높았고 조단백질함량(粗蛋白質含量)은 $2.0{\sim}5.3%$로서 건엽중(乾葉中)의 함량(含量)보다 현저히 낮았다. 특(特)히 P.931의 건경중(乾莖中)의 조섬유함량(粗纖維含量)은 다른 작물(作物)에 비해 현저(顯著)히 높은 편이었다.적차이(量的差異)를 나타냈다.間)에는 부(負)(-)의 상관(相關)이 있다.($P{\leq}0.01%$). 5.

We cryopreserved mouse morulae by a simple ultra-rapid method of freezing embryos directly in $LN_2$ after holding 2min in a $LN_2$ vapor, and thawed them in $37^{\circ}C$ water bath. The time requirements for permeation and dehydration by 2.0 M glycerol and 0.2 M sucrose before freezing were studied. When the embryos were equilibrated for 10 min, the optimun post-thaw survival was obtained. Embryos those developed normally to blastocyst after in vitro culture for over 24hrs were regarded as survival ones. Two experiments to assess post-thaw survival following predehydration in various mixtures of glycerol and sucrose were also accomplished. When sucrose was held constant (0.2 M) and glycerol concentration varied (1.5-3.5 M), post-thaw survival was best (78.0%) in 3.0 M glycerol. When glycerol was held constant (3.0M) and sucrose concentration varied (0.0-1.0M), optimun post-thaw survival (78.0%) was found in 0.2 M sucrose.

Immature nocytes and in VitrO matured Oocytes collected from the slaughtered Korean cattle were frozen slowly with 10% ethylene glycol+5% polyvinyl pyrolidine+0.05M trehalose (l0EPT), 10% ethylene glycol+5% ficoll+0.05M sucrose (1OEFS), or 10% ethylene glycol+5% ficoll+0.05M trehalose (l0EFT) by cell freezer (experiment 1). And also,They were ultra-rapidly frozen with 30% ethylene glycol+10% polyvinyl pyrolidine+0.5M trehalose (3OEPT) or 30% ethylene glycol+18% ficoll+0.5M sucrose (3OEFS) using electron microscope grid (experiment 2). In experiment 1, the cleavage rate was 23.0% when immature oocytes were frozen slowly using various cryoprotectants descrihed above, and 5.1% of cleaved oocytes developed to over morula stage after in Vitro fertilization (IVF). There were no significant differences among these groups. When matured oocytes were frozen slowly, the total cleavage rate was 19.7%, and over morula stage was 3.2%. lOEPT (4.8%) and EFS (4.4%) were slightly more effective than l0EFT (0.0%) for development in vitro. Only in l0EFT treated group, immature oocytes have higher developmental capacity than matured ones, when they were frozen slowly and IVF after thawing. In experiment 2, oocytes were ultra-rapidly frozen using the electron microscope grid with two kind of cryoprotectants described above. In immature oocyte group, the cleavage rate was 13.9% and 5.8% of cleaved oocytes developed to over morula stage after IVF, and in matured group, 25.7 and 7.6%, respectively. There were no significant differences between two kind of cryoprotectants, but in ultra-rapid freezing using electron microscope grid, the efficiency is slightly higher in matured oocyte group.
