체외수정 시술을 위해 중앙대학교부속병원 산부인과학 교실 불임크리닉을 방문한 환자중 1993년 3월부터 1994년 8월까지 난관폐쇄로 인하여 불임이 된 환자 113명(119주기)을 대상으로 GnRH-a 병합요법 중 Short protocol 방법으로 과배란시 임신된 45명(47주기)과 임신이 되지 않은 68명(72주기)에서 hCG 투여 당일 혈청내 E2 및 P4 수치를 측정하여 임신의 결과를 비교하였다. 1. 환자의 평균 연령 및 불임기간은 임신군에서 $33.2{\pm}14.8$세 및 $4.2{\pm}3.4$년이었으며 비 임신군에서는 $34.5{\pm}21.7$세 및 $3.9{\pm}2.8$년으로 연령 및 불임기간의 차이는 없었다. 2. hGC 투여 당일 측정한 혈중 E2치는 임신군에서는 $1643{\pm}987.9$ pg/ml, 비임신군에서는 $1367{\pm}875.8$ pg/ml로 임신군에서 유의하게 높았다(P<0.01). 또한 혈중 LH치는 인신군 에서는 $16.7{\pm}10.4$ ng/ml, 비임신군에서는 $18.3{\pm}8.3$ ng/ml로 임신군에서 유의하게 낮았다 (P<0.01). 혈중 P4치는 임신군에서는 $1.0{\pm}0.7$ ng/ml이었고 비임신군에 서는 $2.1{\pm}1.4$ ng/ml로서 임신군에서 유의하게 낮았다(P<0.001). 3. hCG 투여당일 E2/P4 비는 임신군에서 $1865.6{\pm}318.1$, 비임신군에서는 $1324{\pm}377.7$ 로서 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<0.01)(Table 3). 4. 주기당 수정율은 임신군에서 $61.3{\pm}21.3%$, 비임신군에서는 $41.1{\pm}20.3%$로 임신군에서 의미있게 높았고(P<0.01) 이식된 배아의 수는 임신군 47주기에서 $4.2{\pm}2.2$개, 비임신군 72주기에서는 $2.3{\pm}1.2$개로 두 군간의 차이는 없었다(Table 4). 이상에서 임신이 된 군은 임신이 안된 군보다 혈중 progesterone 치가 의미있게 낮았고 혈중 estradiol 치는 의미있게 높았음을 알 수 있었다. 혈중 progesterone 및 estradiol치는 과배란 유도 후 체외수정시술에 있어서 수정율 및 임신율에 영향을 줄 수 있다고 생각되며 이는 체외수정시술시 과배란후 임신의 예후판정에 효용성이 있을것으로 사료된다.

Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of endogenous LH surge, GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) as ovulation trigger on pregnancy rate by intrauterine insemination (IUI). Method: Patients received daily 100 mg of clomiphene citrate (CC) for 5 days starting on the third day of the menstrual cycle followed by human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) for ovulation induction. Follicles larger than >16 mm in diameter were present in the ovary, frequent LH tests in urine were introduced to detect an endogenous LH surge. Final follicular maturation and ovulation were induced by GnRH-a 0.1 mg (s.c.) or hCG $5,000{\sim}10,000$ IU (i.m.) administration except natural ovulation. Pregnancy was classified as clinical if a gestational sac or fetal cardiac activity was seen on ultrasound. Results: There were no differences in age, duration of infertility and follicle size, but more ampules of hMG were used in GnRH-a group compared to hCG 10,000 IU treated group (p<0.05). Lower level of estradiol ($E_2$) on the day of hCG or GnRH-a injection was observed in hCG 10,000 IU group than other treatment groups (p<0.01). The overall clinical pregnancy rate was 19.8% per cycle (32/162) and 22.2% per patient (32/144). Pregnancy rate was higher in natural-endogenous LH surge group (37.5%, 9/24) than GnRH-a (18.8%) or hCG treated group (20.9% & 13.9%), but this difference was not statistically significant. No patient developed ovarian hyperstimulation. Abortion rate was 22.2% (2/9) in hCG 5,000 IU group. Delivery or ongoing pregnancy rate was 37.5% (9/24), 18.8% (3/16), 16.3% (7/43) and 13.9% (11/79) in endogenous LH surge, GnRH-a, hCG 5,000 IU and hCG 10,000 IU treatment groups, respectively. Conclusion: These results support the concept that use of natural-endogenous LH surge in stimulated cycles may be more effective to obtain pregnancies by IUI than GnRH-a or hCG administration.

최근에 CG 반복법을 이용하여 레이레이 계수를 최소화함으로써 대칭행렬의 내부고유치를 구하는 방법이 개발되었다 그리고 이 방법은 병렬계산에 매우 적합하다. 적절한 준비행렬의 선택은 수렴속도를 향상시킨다. 우리는 본 연구에서 이를 위한 병렬준비행렬들을 비교한다. 고려된 준비행렬들은 Point-SSOR, 다중색채하의 ILU(0)와 Block SSOR이다. 우리는 128개의 노드를 가진 CRAY-T3E에서 구현하였다. 프로세서간의 통신은 MPI 리이브러리를 사용하였다. 최고 512$\times$512 행렬까지 시험하였는데 이 행렬들은 타원형 편미분방정식의 근사화에서 얻어졌다. 그 결과 다중색채 Block SSOR이 가장 성능이 우수한 것으로 판명되었다.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of stimulation of follicular development with eCG on the peripheral levels of inhibin and FSH in Murrah buffaloes. Estrus was synchronized in five normally cycling females by insertion of Crestar (Intervet, Boxmeer, Holland) implants for nine days. Estradiol valerate was administered i.m. on the day of implant insertion. On the 10th day of the induced estrous cycle a single dose of 3000 IU eCG (Folligon, Intervet, Boxmeer, Holland) was given, followed by treatment with 25 mg of $PGF_2$ alpha (Lutalyse, Upjohn, Belgium) 48 h later. Blood samples were obtained during the induced estrus, on cycle day 10 (luteal phase), at the superovulatory estrus (43 h after PGF) and during the periovulatory period (64 h after PGF). Ultrasonography was done daily to monitor follicular development. Plasma concentrations of inhibin and FSH were determined by specific radioimmunoassays. Differences between $mean{\pm}SEM$ values of different phases of the cycle were compared by ANOVA. The mean number of small (2-5 mm), medium (6-9 mm) and large (>10 mm) follicles observed two days after eCG treatment and on the day of superovulatory estrus was $2.8{\pm}0.31$, $5.2{\pm}0.30$ and $1.4{\pm}0.09$ and $1.9{\pm}0.21$, $2.8{\pm}0.40$ and $5.0{\pm}0.83$, respectively. The mean number of ovulations was $3.6{\pm}0.37$ and the mean number of unovulated follicles was $6.1{\pm}0.47$. Most of the follicles >10 mm in diameter had ovulated (72%). The mean ${\pm}SEM $ of plasma inhibin concentration $(2584.15{\pm}17.92pg/ml)$ during the superovulatory estrus was significantly higher $(p{\leq}0.05)$ than during the induced estrus $(749.87{\pm}17.29pg/ml)$, the luteal phase $(1099.54{\pm}24.98pg/ml)$ and periovulatory period $(1682.71{\pm}29.88pg/ml)$, respectively. $Mean{\pm}SEM$ plasma FSH concentration during the induced estrus $(10.35{\pm}0.41ng/ml)$ was not different from that during the superovulatory estrus $(8.52{\pm}0.39ng/ml)$, but was significantly higher $(p{\leq}0.05)$ than during the luteal phase $(2.81{\pm}0.42ng/ml)$ and periovulatory period $(5.7{\pm}0.28ng/ml)$. These data indicate that treatment with eCG in buffaloes for inducing superovulation results in a significant elevation in plasma inhibin levels and a decrease in plasma FSH levels during the superovulatory estrus. Thus, we suggest that the elevated plasma inhibin coming from fully developed follicles continued for a long time which results in inhibition of FSH leading to poor ovulation in the remaining follicles, which may be the cause of suboptimal superovulatory response.

발정 주기와 상관없이 CIDR를 삽입하는 날에 2.5 mg estradiol benzoate, 50 mg progesterone을 주사하였다. CIDR 삽입 후 4일 동안 FSH를 감량법으로 12시간 간격으로 주사하였으며, FSH 주사 5, 6회째에 $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$를 투여했다. 1회째 $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ 주사 24시 간 후 CIDR를 제거하고 GnRH를 주사하였다. 공란 우들을 1번째 $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ 주사 후 60시간과 72시간에 수정을 시켰다. 인공수정 7일 후 회수된 수정란을 수정란 이식 때 prosesterone 농도를 증가시켜 수태율을 향상시키기 위해 수란우에 hCG 1,500 IU를 주사하였다. 수란우의 발정 동기화는 (1) 자연 발정우(natural), (2) 직장 검사로 황체가 존재하는 수란우에 25 mg $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ 처리구($PGF_{2{\alpha}}$), (3) CIDR를 질내에 7일간 삽입하고 제거하는 당일 $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ 25 mg을 투여하는 방법(CIDR + PG법) 및 (4) CIDR를 삽입하고 2.5 mg estradiol benzoate, 50 mg progesterone 주사 후 7일 후 제거하는 당일 $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ 25 mg 투여 후 뒷날 estradiol benzoate 투여(E/P/CIDR/$PGF_{2{\alpha}}$/E) 방법으로 발정을 유도하였다. 계절에 따른 과배란 반응은 회수된 수정란들은 계절간에 유의적 차이가 보여주지 못하였다(봄; 4.18, 여름; 4.36, 가을; 5.50, 겨울 4.38). 신선란(43.4%) 이식 후 수태율은 동결란(17.2%)보다 높게 나타났다. 신선란을 이식하여 hCG 처리한 한우 수란우의 수태율(45.7%)은 대조구(35.3%)보다 약간 높게 나왔다. 그러나 동결란을 수란우에 이식하였을 때, 대조구의 수태율(25.0%)이 hCG 처리구(16.0%)보다 높게 나타났다. 수정란 이식 후 -2, -1, 0 및 1일째의 수란우와 수정란의 동기화 일에 따른 수태율은 20.0, 54.0, 30.3% 그리고 26.3%였다. 자연 발정 수란우, $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$, CIDR/ $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$, E/P/CIDR/ $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$/E로 발정된 수란우들의 수태율은 각각 35.3, 48.0, 29.0 및 40.0%로 나타났다. 하지만 이들 동기화 방법에 따른 유의차는 없었다. 수정란 이식 후 태어난 수송아지와 암 숫송아지의 임신 기간은 각각 288일과 290.5일이었으며, 생시 체중은 각각 28.3과 30.0 kg이었다. 결론적으로 계절에 따른 과배란 반응의 변동은 없었고, hCG 처리, 수란우와 수정란의 동기화, 동기화 방법에 따른 수태율의 향상을 보여주지 못하였다. 향후에는 수정란 이식의 산업화를 위해서는 수정란의 동결과 수태율 향상에 관심을 가져야 할 것이다.

Purpose : The present study has been performed to find the effects on gross motor function and balance ability of applying a balance exercise program consisting of motions able to stimulate balance-related sensory systems on various support surfaces along with goal-oriented upper extremity tasks to enhance the balance ability. Methods : 10children diagnosed as having spastic diplegia were selected as the subject for this study, of whom 5children were randomly assigned to a control group (CG) and the remainder to a balance exercise group (BEG) to perform the upper extremity task on various support surfaces. Each intervention was executed 30minutes per session with 2sessions a week for 12weeks. To make comparisons before and after intervention, gross motor function measure; standing; demention D(GMFM;D), walking/running/jumping ;demention E (GMFM;E) and pediatric balance scale (PBS) were evaluated. Results : The CG showed a significant difference (p<.05) in GMFM;E. BEG showed a significant difference (p<.05) in GMFM;D as well as GMFM;E and in PBS before and after intervention. BEG showed a significant improvement (p<.05) in GMFM;D and the PBS compared with the CG whereas it did not indicate any statistically significant difference in GMFM;E. Conclusion : According to the results of this study, it has been shown that a balance exercise accompanied by upper extremity task on various support surfaces had an effect on improvement in the gross motor function and the balance ability of children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.

This study aimed to investigate changes in the activity and mRNA expression of plasminogen activators (PAs) induced by $17{\beta}$-estradiol ($E_2$), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and interleukin-$1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$) in porcine endometrial cells. Endometrial cells were isolated from the epithelium and cultured to 80% confluence. They were then treated for 24 h with $E_2$ (0.2, 2, 20, and 200 ng/mL), $IL-1{\beta}$ (0.1, 1, 10, and 100 ng/mL), and hCG (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 IU/mL). mRNA expressions of urokinase-type (uPA) and tissue-type (tPA) PAs were analyzed using reverse transcription PCR, and activities were measured using a PA activity assay. mRNA expressions of uPA and tPA increased with $E_2$ treatment; however, this was not significant. Similarly, treatment with hCG did not influence the mRNA expressions of PAs. Interestingly, treatment with 0.1 ng/mL $IL-1{\beta}$ significantly reduced the mRNA expression of uPA, but did not affect that of tPA. Treatment with 2, 20, and 200 ng/mL $E_2$ increased PA activity compared with the control group; treatment with 0.1 and 1 ng/mL $IL-1{\beta}$ significantly increased PA activity compared with the other $IL-1{\beta}$ treatment groups, whereas treatment with 10 and 100 ng/mL $IL-1{\beta}$ decreased. Treatment with 2 IU/mL hCG increased PA activity compared with the other treatment groups, although there were no significant differences between the hCG and control groups. In conclusion, the activity and mRNA expression of PAs were differently regulated by the hormone/cytokine and its concentration in porcine endometrial cells. Therefore, understanding PA regulatory mechanisms may help to improve the reproductive potential of domestic animals.

무비, 퇴비, 금비, 생고의 시비조건과 동일 제초제를 동일 포장에 4년간 연용하였을때 일어나는 잡초군락의 변화와 수도의 수량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 잡초발생량은 모든 시비조건에서 매년 증가되는 경향이었으며 특히 퇴비구에서 현저하게 급증되었다. 2. 올갱고랭 이는 전만적으로 모든 시비조건에서 최우점잡초이 었으며 무비구에서는 올방개, 을챙고랭이, 쇠털골, 전비구에서는 올방개 너도방동산이 물달개 비, 퇴비구에서는 가래, 을방개, 너도방동산이, 생고구에서는 올챙고랭이, 너도방동산이가 우점화원경 향이었다. 3. 잡초의 발생량은 제초제의 연용에 따라 매년 급증되는 경향이었으며 특히, Butachlor와 Nitrofen 구에서 현저하게 나타났다. 4. Butachlor 구에서는 가래, 을방개, 너도방동산이, Nitrofen 구에.서는 가래와 너도방동산이, Benthiocarb -S구에서는 너도방동산이, Bentazon 구에서는 가래, Oxadiazon과 CG 102구에서는 너도방동산이와 가래가 급증하는 경향이었다. 5. 제초제의 연용에 따라 일년생잡초는 Oxadiazon과 CG 102 Benthiocarb-S 구에서 증가되는 경향이 었으며 다년생잡초는 Butachlor, Nitrofen과 Bentazon을 연용함에 따라 급격히 증가되었다. 6. 수도의 수량은 제초제의 연용에 의하여 감소되는 경향이었으며 Butachlor와 Nitrofen 연용시에 감수정도는 더 큰 경향이었다. 7. 따라서 동일 제초제의 연용은 내성인 잡초의 만연을 초래하여 수도의 수량을 감소시키기 때문에 제한된 특정 간제잡초를 방제할 수 있는 제초제와 번갈아 사용하거나 혼합처리하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다.

Animals use their odorant receptors to receive chemical information from the environment. Insect odorant receptors differ from the G protein-coupled odorant receptors in vertebrates and nematodes, and very little is known about their protein-protein interactions. Here, we introduce a mass spectrometric platform designed for the large-scale analysis of insect odorant receptor protein-protein interactions. Using this platform, we obtained the first Orco interactome from Drosophila melanogaster. From a total of 1,186 identified proteins, we narrowed the interaction candidates to 226, of which only two-thirds have been named. These candidates include the known olfactory proteins Or92a and Obp51a. Around 90% of the proteins having published names likely function inside the cell, and nearly half of these intracellular proteins are associated with the endomembrane system. In a basic loss-of-function electrophysiological screen, we found that the disruption of eight (i.e., Rab5, CG32795, Mpcp, Tom70, Vir-1, CG30427, Eaat1, and CG2781) of 28 randomly selected candidates affects olfactory responses in vivo. Thus, because this Orco interactome includes physiologically meaningful candidates, we anticipate that our platform will help guide further research on the molecular mechanisms of the insect odorant receptor family.

We examined early development in loach(Misgurnus mizolepis) embryos with parthenogenetic agents well-known in mammals. Female loach was superovulated with an intraperitoneal injection of 15 IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) per gram body weight. After 13 h of hCG injection, the oocytes were obtained from the abdomen. The oocytes were activated with 10% ethanol in tap water or fish Ringer's solution for 5, 10 and 15 minutes(eTW5, 10, 15 and eFRS5, 10, 15), respectively. The activation rates were 29% and 10% in eFRS10 and eFRS15, 5% and 6% in eTW10 and eTW15 by judging the cleaved blastomeres. Whereas, no parthenogenetic embryo was produced by tap water or fish Ringer's solution alone. The activation rate with the fish Ringer's solution was higher than that of tap water. No embryonic development was observed by calcium ionophore, A23187, at concentrations of 10, 20, 40 and 100$\mu$M when treated for 1, 2.5 and 5 minutes, respectively. The activation agents did not cause early development as in mammalian eggs. Therefore, the results suggest that fresh water fish may have a different egg activation pathway from that of mammals.
